Emily in Paris
Emily is back, and she’s ready to dive into the highs and lows of life and love in Paris once again. This season is packed with office drama, swoon-worthy love triangles, and plenty of stunning fashion to inspire your wardrobe (Hmmm, maybe she’ll get a hold of the Jelli M1 Mask?). Get ready for all the excitement and style—Part 1 drops on August 15!
Only Murders in the Building
In Season 4, our favorite detective trio is back to solve the cliffhanger left at the end of Season 3, which involves Charles’ stunt double and friend, Sazz Pataki. The official synopsis teases even more twists, as the new season delves deeper into the mystery, raising the question: Was Sazz really the intended target, or was it Charles all along?
Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
In the second season of The Rings of Power, the Dark Lord Sauron returns with a vengeance, determined to rebuild his strength and forge the Rings of Power that will bind all of Middle-earth to his evil will. This season promises to push even the most beloved and vulnerable characters into a greater darkness, as they struggle to find their place in a world on the verge of catastrophe.
Pachinko
Pachinko follows the lives of four generations of a Korean family who immigrated to Japan before World War II. In Season 2, the story unfolds across two timelines: in 1945 Osaka, Sunja makes difficult decisions to keep her family safe during the war, and in 1989 Tokyo, Solomon begins a journey of new and humble beginnings.
KAOS
From Charlie Covell, the mind behind The End of the F**ing World, KAOS is a fresh comedy that reimagines Greek mythology. Jeff Goldblum stars as Zeus, a god whose growing paranoia about the end of his reign triggers chaos across Mount Olympus. As divine disorder ensues, six unsuspecting humans become entangled in an ancient prophecy.
The Instigators
In The Instigators, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck play an unlikely crime duo: Rory, a desperate father, and Cobby, an ex-con, plan to rob a corrupt politician of his ill-gotten wealth. As they navigate their differences and work together to execute the heist, they must also avoid capture. With a supporting cast that includes Hong Chau and Ving Rhames, this film is set to deliver both laughs and thrills.
Bad Monkey
Bill Lawrence brings Carl Hiaasen’s 2013 novel to life in Bad Monkey, a dark comedy featuring Vince Vaughn as a disgraced former Florida detective seeking redemption. Vaughn’s character has a chance to reclaim his former glory if he can solve a murder case. However, he must first deal with the oddball locals and one particularly troublesome monkey.
