The first season of Beef dominated its awards season. So, people have been anxiously awaiting for the show’s second season. Today, we got the first look, and I have no fucking idea what it is about.
However, Netflix describes it as: BEEF returns with a new cast and a new “beef,” as a Gen-Z couple witnesses an alarming fight between their Millennial boss and his wife. Newly-engaged Ashley Miller (Cailee Spaeny) and Austin Davis (Charles Melton), both lower-level staff at a country club, become entangled in the unraveling marriage of their General Manager, Joshua Martín (Oscar Isaac), and his wife, Lindsay Crane-Martín (Carey Mulligan). Through favors and coercion, both couples vie for the approval of the elitist club’s billionaire owner, Chairwoman Park (Youn Yuh-jung), who struggles to manage her own scandal involving her second husband, Doctor Kim (Song Kang-ho).
The drama streams on April 16th. Are you going to watch? I am still not over the gun scene that I assume is something many MAGA women have done, so I am a no.
Netflix has been talking about its take on Little House on the Prairie for over a year. However, except for seeing photos of the cast in modern-day clothes, we have not seen or heard much about the reimagination.
That is, until now. Today, the streamer announced that the show based on the popular book series will debut on July 9th. But the news did not stop there. The period drama was renewed for a second season, four months ahead of its debut.
Jinny Howe, Netflix’s head of US and Canada scripted series, says, “We are delighted to renew this beautiful reimagining of Little House on the Prairie for a second season ahead of its Netflix debut. The exceptional work by Rebecca Sonnenshine and the entire cast and crew on Season 1 has established a rich foundation of storytelling for years to come. With its hopeful spirit and emotional authenticity, we’re confident that Little House will deliver even more of what fans truly love.”
If it is anything like the 1974 original, it will be loved by generations for decades to come.
I love sitcoms about families. However, I wish they weren’t so sweet and innocent all the time because that is not what it was like when I grew up!
Free Bert on Netflix is not your average family comedy because the kids say and do things you can’t do on broadcast TV! And we need more of that!
The show is about Bert Kreischer—shirtless comedian, party legend, perpetual wildcard—finds himself in uncharted territory when his daughters are accepted to an elite Beverly Hills private school. When his unbridled antics turn his family into outcasts, he decides to “put on a shirt” and stifle his true nature to better fit in.
Free Bert debuts on January 22nd.
Make sure to watch out for the younger daughter, played by the spitfire Lilou Lang. She is going to be a star!
In November, Netflix announced that they are bringing back A Different World for a sequel series with Debbie Allen, who worked on the original, producing.
Today, they announced that four of the sitcom’s original stars are reprising their roles for a few of the new show’s 10-episode first season.
Kadeem Hardison, Jasmine Guy, Cree Summer, and Darryl M. Bell will once again play Dwayne, Whitley, Freddie, and Ron, respectively. Their return makes sense, especially since the show is centered around Wayne’s daughter, who is going to her parents’ alma mater, Hillman College.
The quad released a statement, “A Different World is back!!! YAY!! We are over the moon to bring this much-anticipated sequel with our returning legacy stars Kadeem Hardison, Jasmine Guy, Cree Summer, and Darryl M. Bell! These beloved characters are returning in a major way that respects their history while engaging exciting storylines that are relevant to issues of today.
“Throughout the season, fans will have a chance to reunite with these O.G. characters and see how their lives have evolved into ‘A Different World.’ And as the story unfolds, there will be more cast surprises in store for longtime fans. We can’t wait for lovers of the show to experience this new chapter as a real continuation of the legacy show, and we’re excited to welcome new audiences to Hillman.”
