POP CULTURE NEWS 179: NEW TV DEBUTS AND A CON TV SHOW WILL RETURN
It’s Friday and for most of this, the feeling this inspires is a kind of “we made it to the week’s end.” The weekend is upon us and as we enter the two days that make up the weekend, we look at the pop culture-y stories we saw making headlines throughout the week. pop culture news 179
POP CULTURE NEWS 179: NEW TV DEBUTS AND A CON TV SHOW WILL RETURN ✨ Talking about #RunningPoint and #SuitsLA plus the return of a favorite con’ show! #BlakeLively #NewMovie #IcePrincess Share on XPOP CULTURE NEWS 179
Not news really, but since this week there is just nothing to talk about, Netflix dropped the newest production that sees Kate Hudson return to a lead role. In Running Point, Hudson plays Isla Gordon, a woman suddenly given the reigns of the basketball team her family has run for years. From what I saw, it’s mostly fun (albeit very adult). A first impression review is now in our blog archives.
In the same vein as the prior mention, NBC also aired its first episode of the much hyped drama Suits: LA. There’s also a new review for it now on the blog.
If you liked A Simple Favor, Prime Video dopped the trailer for Another Simple Favor (which is the sequel). In this Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively drama, the women return to their respective roles. The plot will have them in Capri reuniting for a lavish wedding. The film will release on May 1.
In sad news, Michelle Trachtenberg passed away. Known for her roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl, as well as the Disney feature Ice Princess. A role that millennial girls know and love well. The reports say her death is from possible complications because of a transplant surgery she had recently undergone.
If you’re a fan of fun comedies, with a slight edge, Prime Video (formerly dropping on their now phased out Freevee streamer) will drop the third season of Leverage: Redemption on April 17. The first three episodes of the ten-episode season will arrive then followed by weekly episode drops until the entire season is available. According to the Prime Video press release, in “season 3 the team pits themselves against a power broker stealing the clean water under people’s feet and turning into dirty money, fight against a mayor who’s literally the judge and jury of his small town, outrun a mark who’s finally caught up with them mid-con, outhustle a pool hustler with a side business in international extortion, and bring down an industrialist exploiting child labor.” The primary cast of Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf, Aleyse Shannon, Noah Wyle, and Aldis Hodge will return.
