In more period drama and Julian Fellowes news, HBO Max has dropped a new season three trailer for their dramatic drama The Gilded Age. As we shared in our Summer 2025 TV Preview, according to HBO, the show will follow in season twos footsteps as its about “the Russells stand poised to take their place at the head of society. Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry — if it doesn’t ruin him first.” The Brook family also continues to be an important part as is a possible new romance, too. Season three drops June 22.

October will be the release month for the second season of the immensely popular Nobody Wants This Netflix romance dramedy. Season one followed Kristen Bell’s Joanne and Adam Brody’s Noah, two people unlucky (so far) in love who meet and instantly feel a connection. Sadly, Joanne ends things when she believes their differing backgrounds and families will never let them be happy. The show was an audience hit and will be back for that second season this autumn.
This past week, the Great American Family channel announced a second exclusive (third if you count the second season drop of When Hope Calls) show. This time, it’s a show following in the footsteps of things like Heartland or Ransom Canyon (though this will be a very TV-G show by comparison). The show is called Crossroad Springs and will drop on PureFlix to stream August 28th before making its network debut on the 31st.
The story will center on “the Hamilton family, adult siblings James and Janet, their aging family members, dad, Willis, and Aunt Amy, who are eking out a living on Hamilton Ranch with financial hardships and staffing shortages. James, a pastor in Chicago, and Janet, an ER doctor in a neighboring town, feel called to return home to help the family. Once there, the siblings encounter the son of the owner of the neighboring farm, Daniel Newman, who are all wary of each other due to a generational feud between the families.” The cast will include Jonathan Stoddard, Emily Alatato, Shaun Johnston, Brittany Underwood, Jesse Hutch, and Erin Agostino.

If you love the comedies (and romcoms!) Netflix has been dropping, you’ll be glad to know that September 12th will introduce fans to another one.

The film is called The Wrong Paris and will co-star Pierson Fode. Janeen Damisn will direct, and co-stars include Madison Pettis, Madeleine Arthur, Frances Fisher, and Torrance Coombs.
