POP CULTURE NEWS ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY-ONE
Disney had their big D23 event this past week. News coming out of there includes the release of Frozen 3 for autumn 2027 and an official title for Freaky Friday’s sequel which is Freakier Friday. News about this film also includes details on the recently added Manny Jacinto. He will play Lindsay Lohan’s husband according to articles. Which I’m assuming means technically he’ll play her fiancé since the rumored plot revolves around Lohan’s Anna planning a wedding. Jamie Lee Curtis said, who will return as Lohan’s mother, Tess said regarding Jacinto’s character “but that’s as much as we can say.” I have to admit, I’m kind of disappointed that this will mean Chad Michael Murray’s character will be her ex or her daughter’s father or something rather than the dude she reconnects with. What are your hopes for this one?
This same D23 event also reveals a poster and a trailer for Disney’s upcoming Snow White live action film.

Hallmark has news to release this week, primarily the news that we all unofficially knew already? The news is that Hallmark Movies Now, their streaming service, will rebrand to Hallmark+ (a popular name for many streamers seems to be adding a “plus” at the end). With this rebranding in September will come a host of new debuts. This includes three new Jane Mysteries and a new trilogy of romance films. Those films will be Love on the Danube with the first subtitled film being Love Song. Following it, on respective second and third weeks with be the subtitled sequels Royal Getaway and Kissing Stars. Plus the previously announced ten episode series Chicken Sisters will debut as well. The pricing for the service will start at $7.99/ month or $79.99/ year and the new streamer will launch on September 10. Plans for future series like Holidazed, a limited series, will also debut here.
After his many years on the CW, Jared Padalecki is making his mark on CBS in one of their newer but loved shows, Fire Country. The actor will, according to the showrunner, make a “dynamic debut” that rumors say may even inspire a spin off. Given Padalecki’s thoughts on TV shows and the commitment they require post Walker, do you think this will all come together? His character, Camden, will be a “SoCal firefighter and maverick with a surfer swagger who is a force to be reckoned with and immediately recognizes Bode’s raw talent.”
