Now that Stranger Things has ended its tale, fans wanted more. And they are getting it from Stranger Things: Tales From ’85. The animated series, which debuted on Netflix on April 23rd, is such a hit that the streamer already picked it up for a second season.
“Working on Season 1 has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Now that it’s out in the world, seeing fans connect with these characters – whether they’ve loved them for years or are just meeting them for the first time – has been truly special. I’m excited to continue the journey,” said showrunner Eric Robles.
“We’re thrilled to return to the winter of ’85 for season two. The Hawkins Investigators Club is back, and a new paranormal threat has emerged from the town’s abandoned silver mines. I can’t wait for fans to discover where this entity and the mysterious blue flower we last saw blooming in the Upside Down at the end of Season 1 take our young heroes.”
The young heroes are voiced by Eleven (Brooklyn Davey Norstedt), Mike (Luca Diaz), Will (Benjamin Plessala), Dustin (Braxton Quinney), Lucas (Elisha “EJ” Williams), Max (Jolie Hoang-Rappaport), and Nikki (Odessa A’zion).
Netflix is reimagining a live-action Scooby-Doo series, and today, they began production in Atlanta on the show based on the cartoon.
Scooby-Doo: Origins stars McKenna Grace as Daphne Blake, Tanner Hagen as Shaggy Rogers, Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma Dinkley, Maxwell Jenkins as Fred Jones, and Paul Walter Hauser.
A modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
I don’t know who those actors are supposed to be. However, they don’t like the Scooby-Doo Gang that we have known and loved for over 50 years. Hopefully, they would fuck up Scooby-Doo too.
Netflix dropped the first trailer for their take on Little House on the Prairie, and it looks beautifully shot. For me, that is enough of a reason to watch a new television series based on Laura Ingalls’s autobiographical novels about her childhood growing up in Walnut Grove in the 1870s.
Little House stars Luke Bracey (Charles Ingalls), Crosby Fitzgerald (Caroline Ingalls), Alice Halsey (Laura Ingalls), Skywalker Hughes (Mary Ingalls), and Warren Christie (John Edwards).
The streamer has such faith in the family drama that they have already picked it up for a second season.
If you are most people, you are Team HUNTR/X. But if you are me, then you are Team Saja Boys.
That was the movie. The bands are going to McDonald’s to battle it out with their own meals. You will get to vote on which one you like better. And who knows, you might be coming over to my side.
Here are the two meals:
For the Pride: The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal
Think you can resist the Saja Boys? The hottest K-pop demon group is stealing the spotlight with the Saja Boys Breakfast Meal, channeling their signature heartthrob charm with a:
Spicy Saja McMuffin®: A Sausage McMuffin® with Egg, topped with a peppery Spicy Saja Sauce — inspired by the fire of Gwi-Ma.
Hash Browns: Our signature hash browns, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside — just like the Saja Boys’ leader Jinu.
Small Soft Drink: Your choice of a little “Soda Pop” to cool down from the heat.
For the Hunters: The HUNTR/X Meal
HUNTR/X is taking the stage for the rest of the day to show fans “how it’s done, done, done!” The HUNTR/X Meal makes the Golden Arches even more “Golden” and includes a 10-piece. Chicken McNuggets®, medium soft drink, and three limited-time menu items:
Ramyeon McShaker™ Fries: A spicy, umami spin on our World Famous Fries® featuring a soy, garlic, sesame and spice seasoning — inspired by Rumi, Mira and Zoey’s go-to snack. Sprinkle the seasoning into the McShaker bag, add fries, and shake for a bold taste that’s true to South Korean flavors.
Hunter Sauce: A sweet chili sauce mixing notes of chili, garlic, and pepper with just enough heat inspired by HUNTR/X’s fierce, yet fun-loving personalities.
Demon Sauce: A bold mustard sauce with heat and tang — made purple, just like demon patterns.
I have to admit, since I don’t like breakfast, I am switching teams.
Each meal comes with an exclusive photocard for either HUNTR/X or the Saja Boys and a Derpy access card. Fans can scan the QR code on each Derpy access card and enter the unique code on the McDonald’s App by April 26 to unlock first access to exclusive content and a special reveal of the group that wins the Battle for the Fans.
The K-Pop Demon Hunter Meals will be available starting on March 31st. You can order the meal, then go home and Netflix & Chill with it and the movie that took the world by storm.
Netflix not only teamed up with Meghan Markle for her snooty series With Love, but they also got into business with her business, As Ever, which was promoted on the show.
However, now that her show is reportedly cancelled, so is the streamer’s partnership with the lifestyle brand.
A Netflix spokesperson told Page Six in a statement, “Meghan’s passion for elevating everyday moments in beautiful yet simple ways inspired the creation of the As Ever brand, and we are glad to have played a role in bringing that vision to life.
“As it was always intended, Meghan will continue growing the brand and take it into its next chapter independently, and we look forward to celebrating how she continues to bring joy to households around the world.”
I don’t blame Netflix for saying goodbye to the overpriced jams, teas, and wines. Who in this economy wants to spend their money on that shit? You can say, they made like the British Royals and cut ties with the Duchess of Sussex.
