We are 133 days from the premiere of the first part of the final season of Stranger Things, 162 days from part 2, and 168 days from the series finale. And that is way too many days after watching the teaser, which makes those final eight episodes look epic. Seriously, how excited are you for season 5?
I didn’t need coffee this morning because that teaser gave me such an adrenaline rush that I am wide awake.
The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
Every time a series ends, I am always wishing that everyone dies. But that never happens. I am hoping that, after that teaser, that is the case for this show. Because how fitting would that be? Unless it ends with them all going back to the beginning, right before Will Beyers goes missing.
The first four episodes drop on Netflix on November 26th, the next three on Christmas, and the final one on New Year’s Eve.
I did not watch My Life with the Walter Boys when it first started streaming on Netflix. But then my friend told me how good it was, and binged the first season in a weekend. Therefore, I have been anxiously awaiting the second season ever since.
Over the weekend, the series stars’ Nikki Rodriguez, Noah LaLonde, and Ashby Gentry revealed that the show, which is about a NY teenager who lost her parents and her sister in a car accident, and is forced to move in with her mom’s best friend and ten children who live in a small town, will be back on August 28th.
Today, the streamer shared a teaser and a synopsis of the upcoming season. After leaving Silver Falls following Alex’s love confession and her kiss with Cole, Jackie Howard spent the summer in New York City. When Katherine convinces her to return to Colorado, Jackie is determined to make amends with Alex and set boundaries with Cole while finding her place within the Walter family. But fitting back in isn’t that easy. Alex – who changed a lot over the summer – isn’t too thrilled about Jackie’s attempts to reconnect, as he’s focused on training for a risky rodeo event (and enjoying all of the new attention he’s getting). Meanwhile, Cole takes on a new role at school, but when that doesn’t quite fill the void left by not playing football, his old ways creep back in and cause drama. As Jackie gains acceptance in Silver Falls while trying to hold onto her Howard identity, she’s forced to make a choice that could destroy everything she’s worked to rebuild.
Now, I am even more excited for the second season. What about you?
Netflix has made a decision on two of its freshman shows, The Residence and Pulse, and it is not good. Both series were cancelled after just one season.
The Residence, which starred Uzo Aduba and Giancarlo Esposito, was described as 132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous State Dinner. The Residence is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion. With the cancellation of The Residence, Shondaland had a rare season one failure.
The Pulse is described as a hurricane barrels towards Miami’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center, third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Willa Fitzgerald) is unexpectedly thrust into a promotion when beloved Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell) is suspended. Amid the worsening storm and an onslaught of trauma cases, the hospital goes into lockdown, and Danny and Phillips must find a way to work together – even as the bombshell details of a complicated and illicit romance between them begin to spill out. The rest of the ER is left to process the fallout of their relationship while balancing their own challenges, both personal and professional, as they work under the pressure of life-or-death stakes. Because for this tight-knit group of doctors, saving their patients’ lives is often less complicated than living their own.
Meanwhile, No Good Deed, an anthology series, which starred Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano for season one, is still waiting to find out if it will be back for another murder mystery.
The Voice is about four judges looking for the next singing voice of a generation. However, they are doing it blindly. That is what Netflix’s Building the Band is about, sort of.
Building the Band brings together talented singers for a truly unique competition show where building the perfect band is all about chemistry. The singers are in complete control as they seek to form their very own bands from individual sound booths where they can’t see the other artists. All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and raw talent. What will happen when the bands finally meet and looks, choreography, work ethic and style come into play? With incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal – to find the next great music band – the stage is set for an unforgettable experience.
The musical competition series is hosted by the Backstreet Boys’ A.J. McLean. He will be joined by Pussycat Dolls’ Nicole Scherzinger, who serves as a judge and mentor. Destiny Child’s Kelly Rowland and the late One Direction’s Liam Payne will appear as guest mentors.
Payne’s family has seen the show, and they are “supportive of his inclusion.”
BTB’s ten episodes will stream throughout July: Episodes 1-4 will debut on July 9th, 5-7 the following week, and the final three episodes will drop on the 23rd.
Squid Game’s second season left us on the edge of our seats. And it looks like we will stay there throughout the final episodes.
Wow! That’s all you can say after watching the trailer. And that was only two minutes. Imagine the rest of it.
