POP CULTURE NEWS EDITION FORTY-SEVEN
IS THE WESTERN MAKING A COMEBACK?
Post 1883 and some of the more modern “westerns,” Amazon Prime is joining the western genre. Described as a six-part series premiering in November, this is “19th Century drama” called The English. Emily Blunt will star in this, which is called a rare series regular role for her, and I think that’s true. Most of her roles are films.
MORE STILL SWEET TV ROMANCE COMING
Joining the TV romance game is Fox Nation. They’ll debut their first movie on September 1. The film is based on a novel by Nancy Naigle. Titled The Shell Collector, the film will start Hallmark favorite Christopher Russell and the press release says, the streaming has three more films planned for the next year adding there’s “ties to the holiday season,” suggesting a possible Christmas debut.
The Shell Collector will follow, based on the official plot, “a heartwarming story about a widow, Amanda Whittier, with two children who befriends some interesting characters in her small seaside town as she looks to forge ahead with her new life following the death of her husband.”
SHE RETURNS!
According to multiple articles, Enola Holmes 2 will drop November 4, making it likely the IDEAL drop date given the autumn vibes. This go round, the plot reads that Enola follows in her big brother’s footsteps and opens a detective agency. But unable to make a go of it independently as a young woman, she plans to close shop until, “a penniless matchstick girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister.” Of course, the plot also says that there’s more puzzling clues to this case than expected causing Enola to request the help of friends and even Sherlock to help.
Returning cast is Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill and even Helena Bonham Carter. Check out some teaser sequel photos, too!
LAST THINGS
Laura Taylor Namey’s novel A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow is to be adapted as a film. The plot follows a girl who losing her grandmother tries to heal wounds by finding comfort in baking at her aunt’s shop and maybe, finding love with a cute boy. Maia Reficco, Kit Connor and Kate del Castillo.
According to Today, Alexis Bledel and her husband Vincent Kartheiser are ending things. He filed for divorce on August 10. The pair met while working on the TV show Mad Men in 2011 and married in 2014, a relationship that the pair kept largely private.
Lionsgate drops its first promotional photo of Rachel Zegler in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Will this prequel interest you or do you want The Hunger Games cinematic universe to stay as is?
Mark Wahlberg is going to star in an action film called The Family Plan about a man who has to take his family into hiding when his past catches up to them all. The film is part of the Apple original line up.
According to reports, Virgin River, from July 18 to 24, unseats “longtime streaming champ Stranger Things on Nielsen’s weekly” chart. Furthermore, the article says it has “more than 2.6 billion minutes of viewing” during those July dates.
According to some recent articles, the CW is revealing their main audience is actually older than most of their shows portray their characters. Because of this, they plan to become more of a “cost-conscious broadcast network that appeals to a broader audience.”
Speaking of CW, if you watch Superman and Lois, you may like to know Jordan Elsass will not be returning to season three, playing Jonathan Kent. The show will recast the role, while the rumors for Elsass’ exit include him having “serious personal issues” and even the suggestion he may have been fired.
Netflix’s Never Have I Ever will end with its fourth season following its third finale, a third season that just recently dropped on Netflix. During promotion for season three, co-creator Mindy Kaling says that it’s “fitting” the show end with season four because of its high school setting and therefore a good timeline for the characters and cast. The upcoming, likely in 2023, fourth year will also likely conclude the LOVE triangle drama. PS; I only watched season one, should I watch seasons two and three, too????

I’m really looking forward to Enola Holmes 2! :)
YES! It seems like it’ll be a great watch. :)
So excited for The English and Enola Holmes 2!
YES to Enola Holmes. It sounds like it’ll be fun. I have to learn a bit more about The English, but it could be great. :)
I’ll probably watch Enola Holmes 2 purely to see Henry Cavill!
Right? That’s a bit part for me too. I also did think the first film was fun. :)
