No Comments on The Acolyte Season 2: Manny Jacinto Teases Potential Return Amid Cancelation

Despite Disney+’s latest sci-fi series, The Acolyte, having been making waves on the internet, the series received a dark fate. The show performed well on the platform. However, we have unpleasant news for those asking for The Acolyte Season 2. But don’t lose your hopes. Although things are on the darker front for the series, the show’s showrunner and cast members recently shared a pleasing update, suggesting more to come. So, without further ado, let’s head to learn what the future holds for The Acolyte Season 2.

Created by Leslye Headland, The Acolyte is a sci-fi series in the Star Wars franchise. Unlike other series in the franchise, it is set at the end of the High Republic era before the Skywalker Saga. It explores the mystery surrounding the sinister forces and how things turn complicated in the Star Wars universe. Throughout the series, the respected Jedi master investigates several crimes that lead him to a former Padawan. As the story explores, it focuses on more sinister crimes and forces.

Is The Acolyte Season 2 Renewed?

The eight-episode first season of The Acolyte debuted on June 4, 2024, and ran until July 16. As expected, the series was well-loved, leaving many on their toes to learn about its fate. While many are curious to see their favorite characters back, the show won’t return for another run. That’s right, Lucasfilm decided not to proceed with The Acolyte Season 2.

The studio house canceled the series just after one season, more than a month after the first season aired. Well, the news isn’t surprising. That’s because the show was destined to fall. It performed moderately with critics, gaining 78% on Rotten Tomatoes. It also faced mixed ratings, which were reflected in its overall viewership.

The Star Wars fans weren’t pleased by the series as it didn’t bring any major characters from that franchise, disappointing many. It also found itself in the tug-of-war surrounding a Star Wars culture war. Since the franchise has brought casting diversity, many have found things inappropriate. Amid this, the cancelation of The Acolyte Season 2 was also supposed to be because of the writing flaws that “broke canon.”

Each episode of the first season brought new controversy. The series later turned out to be the most review-bombed series in Marvel or Disney’s history. It gained an 18% audience score and a 78% critic score. Budget constraints also played a major role in the series’ cancellation.

But The Acolyte Gained A Boost In Viewership

Despite being canceled because of its diversity of thoughts, The Acolyte had a bang-on debut. It gained 4.8M views on the first day of its debut on Disney+. Soon after, the show became the biggest series premiere on Disney+. According to the reports, The Acolyte rose to 11.1 million views in just five days of its streaming.

In addition, the show secured a No. 7 spot on Nielsen’s Top 10 in the premiere week, rising to No. 6 the following week. However, the show failed to maintain the same momentum throughout its run. The Acolyte dropped out of the Nielsen charts in Week 3 and didn’t return to the top 10 after the finale’s release.

According to reports, the finale only secured 335 million minutes of views, which was believed to be the lowest ever for a Star Wars series. Since the series is the franchise of Star Wars, it was expected to perform incredibly well on the streaming platform. However, the show failed to perform well on Disney+.

Like Netflix and Prime Video, Disney+ has a high viewership threshold. The renewal decision should be based on viewership vs. the series’ budget. The Acolyte was a big-budget series made with $100 million. Thus, such a huge budget created complications for the show. Lucasfilm didn’t want to invest in a show that failed to gain the viewership as required, leading to The Acolyte Season 2’s cancellation.

Can The Acolyte Season 2 Return?

While Lucasfilm canceled the series after one season, there’s hope for season 2. The series showrunner and executive producer Leslye Headland revealed that she had ideas for The Acolyte Season 2. She is currently in talks with the producer about returning the series for another season, hinting at hopes for a renewal. However, the production house hasn’t shared anything about the next run, but that doesn’t mean it won’t return.

Despite Disney being vocal about the series cancelation thanks to lack of viewership, the cast has shared a small glimmer of hope for its renewal. Manny Jacinto, who played The Stranger, shared hope for season 2. Last week, he shared a quote from DragonCon, hinting at The Acolyte Season 2. In that clip, he was asked about his last wish before he died. Surprisingly, Jacinto said, “Season 2 of The Acolyte.”

Later, another quote surfaced on the internet, where he told one of his fans that they were fighting for the series renewal. He said that some talks had been done behind the scenes, and they would soon return with another season.

Well, this show won’t be the first to return after being canceled. However, how things will be handled is a big question. The creative team might focus on the series budget; cutting it short can help them greatly. This way, they can develop more prominent storylines without using unnecessary CGI work.

The Acolyte Season 2 Cast: Who Will Return?

If the show returns in another season, we can expect the entire first season’s characters who didn’t face dark fate to return. So, we can undoubtedly expect to see Amandla Stenberg back as Verosha “Osha” and Mae-ho “Mae” Aniseya. Lee Jae won’t return as Sol, as he died in the first season. However, he could return in the form of some flashbacks.

Charlie Barnett as Yord Fandar, Dafne Keen as Jecki Lon, and Rebecca Henderson as Vernestra Rwoh will return. We can also expect to see Jodie Turner-Smith as Mother Aniseya in The Acolyte Season 2. Carrie-Anne Moss can return as Indara, Manny Jacinto as the Stranger, and Dean-Charles Chapman as Torbin can also return.

The other cast members who can return are Joonas Suotamo as Kelnacca, Margarita Levieva as Mother Koril, Harry Trevaldwyn as Mog, and David Harewood as Rayencourt. Well, the first season saw the end of many characters as they were killed off while uncovering the sinister crimes. But if The Acolyte Season 2 returns, we can expect to see some new people on the show.

What Will Happen Next In The Acolyte Season 2?

The first season focused on twins Mae and Osha, who were separated at a young age and led to believe that the other was killed. As the series progressed, it focused on the twins’ lives and how their surroundings affected their lifestyle. It also focused on the traditional perception of the Jedi, who was responsible for separating the twins.

However, with time, Osha learned about Mae’s whereabouts and how she could reunite with her lost sister. On the other hand, Sol played a huge part in corrupting Mae’s mind. Despite that, Osha and Mae reunited in the ruins of the witches’ fortress, leading to the discovery of Sol’s true intention. After discovering Sol’s true purpose, Osha killed him using the Force.

But it only created challenges for them as Vernestra arrived with a group of Jedi and found Sol’s body. Despite the sisters reuniting, Osha wiped Mae’s memory while she decided to be trained with Qimir. So, if The Acolyte Season 2 returns, it will focus on Osha’s training period and how she achieves powers to confront Jedi. Meanwhile, the crime scene continues to create havoc in their world.

The Acolyte Season 2 Release Date

As mentioned above, the show has been canceled. So, the chances of its return are lower. However, the series showrunner and the cast members hope for its return. Since they have been in talks about Season 2 of The Acolyte, we expect the show might return sooner rather than expected. If so, The Acolyte Season 2 will be released sometime in 2026 or 2027. Since it’s a sci-fi series, it will take longer to wrap up filming and post-production work. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Unstable Season 3: Rob Lowe Hints At A Political Theme

No Comments on Unstable Season 3: Rob Lowe Hints At A Political Theme

Netflix’s workplace comedy Unstable recently released its second season, and fans are already clamoring for more. There’s no denying that the series is a top-rated, unorthodox series on the platform, as it has been praised highly by the audience and critics. That’s why fans wonder if the streaming platform will return with Unstable Season 3. But is the third season on the cards? Well, the second season cliffhanger ending has left the door open for the next run. Guess what? The series protagonist has also teased about season 3.

That’s right! Rob Lowe, who plays Ellis Dragon, has recently shared a much-needed update about Unstable Season 3. This suggests that the streamer will soon make a return with another season. However, Rob shared that something more dramatic will happen in the third run. Let’s see how things will be played off.

Created by father and son duo Rob Lowe, John Owen Lowe, and Victor Fresco, the series focuses on a father-son comedy. After Jackson’s mother died, he decided to start working for his narcissistic-adjacent father, Ellis, whose life began to spiral after losing his wife. In order to protect his father and his empire, Jackson decides to support him. However, things turn dramatic as Ellis decides in the second season that he wants to run for the presidential election. Will things turn more dramatic? Let’s see!

Is Unstable Season 3 Renewed?

Unstable is undoubtedly the most talked-about series, as exploring Ellis’s narcissistic behavior has remained the audience’s favorite part. But with season 2 of Unstable airing on August 1, 2024, fans wonder whether Netflix will return with another season. However, the streaming platform hasn’t yet renewed the series for another season. The show has just returned with its sophomore run, and it’s quite early to renew it for the next season. Typically, the streaming platform takes a few months to announce renewal.

However, the streamer hasn’t yet canceled Unstable, so there’s a chance for another season. That’s because the first season was well-received. Just like that, the second season also performed moderately well on the platform. It gained 6.7 stars out of 10 on IMDb. However, Netflix has remained tight-lipped about its viewership stats. Thus, it remains unclear how well the show performed on the streaming platform.

But we do know the series’ performance on the Global Top Ten. The first season performed well on the list, securing a place in the top ten for a week in 14 countries. However, the second season failed to match the same performance level. Season 2 of Unstable reached only two countries and remained in the top ten for just one week after its debut. This can gravely affect the series’ fate since Netflix renews the series based on its performance and viewership graph.

Rob Hints At Potential Unstable Season 3

While Netflix has yet to renew the show for another season, the series protagonist, Rob Owen, shared that he already has plans for Unstable Season 3. During an interview with Variety, Rob, who plays Ellis, shared that the next season will focus on political themes—the second season ended with Ellis planning to run for the US presidency. So, this will play a huge part in Unstable Season 3. Ellis’s actor also puts weight on the same.

In the interview, he said that the show will focus on his stubbornness, which forces Jackson to be a hypothetical “First Boy” to debate against his opponent’s child. He said the third season will show that Ellis doesn’t care much about the actual debate that he will have with the opponent. That’s because of his ego, and he will be more determined and focused on the potential “First Boy” debate against his opponent’s child.

Netflix/ Rob talks about Season 3 of Unstable

So, the third season will shift the narrative to Jackson and Ellis, focusing on the debate. In addition, Ellis’ actor has already mapped the entire Unstable Season 3. In the same interview, Rob shared that he has planned how things will move in the third season, and he is confident enough that the show will undoubtedly return with another season. Although the production committee hasn’t shared more about the show’s future, Rob is confident enough to return with the third season.

Is Netflix Planning To Return?

Rob Lowe is determined to return with Unstable Season 3. He has already planned how things will move in the third season. But will Netflix return with season 3? It’s difficult to guess. That’s because the second season’s renewal faced delay because of the Hollywood strikes in 2023. The streaming platform renewed the series after eight months in November, while the first season aired in March 2023. While the Hollywood strikes are over now, it remains unclear when the streaming platform will return with a renewal decision.

This is because Unstable didn’t perform well on the streaming platform. While the first season was a mega-hit, the second season saw ratings drop. The first season secured 68% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it wasn’t the same for the second season. Unstable Season 2 secured only 48% on the platform. Many also believed the quality of the series had somehow deteriorated due to unknown reasons. Considering everything, it seems like Unstable will face a dark fate.

When Will Unstable Season 3 Enter Production?

As of now, the show has yet to be renewed. Netflix renewed the second season quite early compared to the second season. However, Season 2 filming was shut down due to the writers’ strike on May 4, 2023. In addition, the series faced several setbacks following the Hollywood strikes. However, the showrunner confirmed on November 16, 2023, that the series had returned to filming. Fortunately, it took only four months to wrap up filming. The cast and creators called “It’s a Wrap” in early February 2024.

While the second season only took four months to complete, the series’ fate remains up in the air. Netflix hasn’t yet renewed the show for the next season. Considering its poor reception, it feels like the streaming giant won’t return to explore the father-son dynamics. However, if the show gets renewed this year, just like the previous season, Season 3 will take four months to wrap up filming. We will update you, although nothing is officially known about the show’s fate.

Unstable Season 3 Cast Details

Since the series is centered on the father-son dynamic, it will likely return with a father-son duo. That means Rob and John Owen Lowe will return to reprise their respective roles, Ellis and Jackson. The third season will see their relationship getting stronger than ever. The second season witnessed their relationship blossoming beyond the series’ original theme. So, it seems like Unstable Season 3 will see another phase in Ellis and Jackson’s relationship.

If the third season is renewed, it will also see the return of Aaron Branch as Malcolm and Sian Clifford as Anna. They remained integral parts of both seasons 1 and 2. The other cast members include Lamorne Morris as Peter, Fred Armisen as Leslie, and Iris Apatow as Georgia. In addition, both the seasons have seen the addition of new characters.

So, we believe Unstable Season 3 will see some new cast additions. The show has yet to reveal who will play the other candidates in the US presidential election. Besides this, the entire new storyline suggests that more new faces will join the show.

What To Expect In Unstable Season 3?

After successfully dodging legal ramifications for his actions in the first season, Ellis returned to manipulate Jackson. However, the latter was caught up between Georgia and Peter. He was impressed with Peter’s genuine ambition and decided to follow in his footsteps. Jackson planned to leave his father and the life he had forced on Jackson behind. While the latter planned his way out of Ellis’s life, the latter had other plans.

The second season ended with Ellis deciding to run for the United States Presidency. This forced Jackson to support his father, as Ellis emotionally challenged him. Rob has also shared the same thing. He told Variety that Ellis’s ego and desire to control Jackson’s life would bring new dynamics to the father-son relationship. He would force Jackson to work on his campaign.

Rob shared that Unstable Season 3 will focus on the “First Boy” debate. He believes having children of political candidates debate can give a better idea about the candidates. He thinks this will play a pivotal part in the third season. John Owen also told TVLine that anything is possible in the third season. Ellis can run for the presidency, and it will be a funny premise to explore, said John.

Now, in a more powerful position, Ellis will force Jackson to follow in his father’s footsteps. This will create more challenges for Jackson because the latter will become what his father wants from him, undoubtedly creating more challenges.

Unstable Season 3 Release Date

Netflix has yet to renew the show for the third season. Thus, it’s quite too early to guess when the series will return. Since the streaming platform takes some time to make its decision and the production also takes six to seven months to wrap everything up, it doesn’t seem like the show will return this year. Thus, the Unstable Season 3 release date might fall in 2025. However, it’s a tentative date. We will update you shortly after receiving an official announcement. This is all for now.

NCIS Season 22: Jessica Knight Returns! Gets Fall Release Date

No Comments on NCIS Season 22: Jessica Knight Returns! Gets Fall Release Date

The high-octane procedural series NCIS is all set to return with a bang. The series is undoubtedly the most popular series on CBS. Now that the series is entering new territory, the network promises to bring back a fan-favorite character in NCIS Season 22. Who will the person be? The previous season’s massive cliffhanger hinted at the departure of one of the beloved characters. However, the new trailer suggests that the position will be filled soon. So, let’s see how things will move now.

Created by Don McGill and Donald P. Bellisario, the show focuses on the stories and experiences of a special agents team called the Major Case Response Team (MCRT). Since NCIS is the main federal law enforcement agency, the team deals with all the major and minor cases while dealing with their personal and professional lives. Over the years, the show has seen several changes. Leroy Jethro Gibbs first led it. However, after season 19, the series was led by Alden Parker.

NCIS Season 22: Latest News

The long-running procedural drama is all set to hit our screen this fall. Following the NCIS Season 21 finale, CBS renewed the series for another season, leaving fans on their toes to learn when the show will return. However, the network recently released the first trailer of NCIS Season 22, which suggests that there’s a mole within NCIS. Now, the team needs to figure out who the mole is while dealing with the usual cases that take week-to-week time to conclude.

Meanwhile, Supervisory Special Agent Alden Parker and his crew will find another gritty drama, creating more challenges for them. So, now they must find a mole to save the other team members. While the team deals with the new cases, a dead body will be discovered in NCIS Director Leon Vance’s office. This suggests that someone with a more severe and deadly plot is awaiting the NCIS team.

Trailer Is Out!

CBS dropped the first full trailer of NCIS Season 22, suggesting that the mole is within the organization. So, now Agent Parker is tasked with exposing this mole and making a bold decision that can change everything. Amid this, he needs to keep things under wraps and help his team solve the following cases while keeping them away from dangerous situations.

The trailer begins with Parker voicing his concerns, saying, “We’ve gotta stop that mole without starting a war.” On the other hand, Wilmer Valderrama’s Nicholas Torres is asked to do something unthinkable. He can be seen saying, “If you want me to kill one of my own,” then the person needs to give him a good reason. Well, the clip doesn’t only give a sneak peek into what will come next in NCIS Season 22.

However, it does give insight into how things will move in the next run, especially since it has dropped two Easter Eggs for the series fans. The teaser trailer plays the “Stand Up” track in the background with the show’s theme song’s melody. In addition, the Navy-veteran brothers also made the entire theme song appear, carrying more hints.

The lyrics say, “no time to react” and “the night’s returning,” which hints that someone is about to return. This person could be none other than Katrina Law’s Jessica Knight. In the previous season’s finale, she received an offer of the position of Chief REACT Training Officer at Camp Pendleton. The network also explains, “Jessica Knight’s returning to NCIS DC.” But there’s more! The big change is here!

NCIS Season 22 Cast: Who Will Join The Series?

Throughout the years, fans have seen a lot of changes in the NCIS cast. But fans can rest assured that the entire season 21’s cast will return for the next season. Gary Cole is expected to return as SSA Alden Parker, Sean Murray as SSA Timothy McGee, and Wilmer Valderrama as Agent Nick Torres. Brian Dietzan as Dr. Jimmy Palmer, Diona Reasonover as Kasie Hines, and Rocky Carroll as Director Leon Vance will also return for NCIS Season 22.

The potential departure of Katrina Law’s Agent, Jessica Knight, has left fans wondering whether she will return. In the previous season, she was offered her dream job, but she needed to depart from the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) for that. This left many to wonder how things would change after her departure, especially how her relationship with Jimmy Palmer would be affected.

However, the new promotional images suggest that Knight will remain a part of NCIS Season 22. They hint that her role will continue within the MCRT, which is enough to cater to fans’ excitement. It isn’t the first time NCIS has teased a fake departure. In addition, after the ending of NCIS: Los Angeles, star Eric Christian Olsen shared that he wanted to return to the veteran series.

He told TVLine that he would love to reprise his role. However, when asked whether he wanted to play Marty Deeks again, he replied, “Not so much.” That shows that Olsen won’t return despite most NCIS spinoff characters appearing in the parent series.

Will Mark Harmon Return?

Harmon is leading a prequel series, NCIS: Origins, and is the executive producer of both shows. However, he left the parent series after he joined the prequel show, leading many to wonder when the OG character Leroy Jethro Gibbs will return. Will Gibbs make his comeback in NCIS Season 22? When asked the same question, Harmon replied that he had no idea. However, he had left that decision to the writers.

More Guest Stars Are Coming

Showrunner Steven D. Binder told TVLine that there will be more guest stars. He is looking to narrate the story of a guy like James Bond or Jason Bourne, a high-end person and a serious guy who ends up in a retirement home. Binder said he wants to tell the story from a perspective that will shed light on the suffering of most parents and grandparents.

The showrunner said he wanted to see how things would move for that person who had all sorts of skills and knowledge but ended up losing everything. While Binder hasn’t shared more about the guest role, it seems like a veteran actor will return. Who? We will let you know.

What To Expect From NCIS Season 22?

The trailer has already shown how things will move in NCIS Season 22. However, showrunner Binder said the show will also focus on Tim McGee’s new job. His character dealt with several cases in the previous season, but he didn’t play a vital role in any of those storylines. But things will change. Binder said that McGee will be eyeing a deputy director position next season.

That’s because he will discover something dramatic which will force him to make this move. Binder said, “Being the investigation hound that Tim [McGee] is, he’s going to sniff something on the way to his journey.” McGee will figure out that something is not right among the government officials. To figure things out, he will work on his way to make some changes.

If you remember, McGee was offered Gibb’s position in Season 19 but turned down the offer. Now that he is looking forward to making such changes, it will be interesting to see how things move. His move has something to do with the traitor storyline.

There’s a chance that McGee has discovered who the mole is and will work to ensure his team’s safety. But it doesn’t seem like he will leave MCRT. He has remained a veteran player, and being a part of the decade-old team, it doesn’t seem like McGee will leave everything like this.

NCIS Season 22 Release Date

The show entered filming on July 17, when Dietzen confirmed that he had returned to the set. He shared an Instagram photo of him with the glasses, saying, “Hello, Jimmy Palmer. Welcome back, everyone! #NCIS #Season22.” While the cast members haven’t shared whether they have wrapped up filming, CBS has confirmed that NCIS Season 22 will be released on October 14, 2024, at 8 pm ET. Meanwhile, its prequel series NCIS: Origins will air at 9 pm ET. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Bridget told The Hollywood Reporter that people have also praised and thanked her for portraying small-town life as it is.

She also shared a brief moment with one of her fans. Bridget said she was in Manhattan, Kansas, when the head basketball coach came to her to tell her that he liked the show. The actress said that it was satisfying to see that people from different walks of life could find themselves in their show. Although the show is about to conclude, the cast and crew members are delighted to leave an impact on people’s lives. Somebody Somewhere Season 3 will mark the ending of the series.

No Comments on Fire Country Season 3 Release Date: Trailer Teases Gabriela And Bode’s Steamy Moment!

CBS’ latest procedural drama has already treated its fans with two successful seasons, and now the firefighters are returning with a bang. Following the massive cliffhanger ending, fans have been clamoring for more. Surprisingly, the network is gearing up to treat them with Fire Country Season 3. The production committee has already shared the release date and first look of the third season, which suggests things are going to escalate between Bode Donovan and Gabriela Perez. So, without further ado, let’s head to see how things will move in the next season.

Produced by legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Fire Country follows the struggle of a young convict, Bode Donovan. With a troubled past, Bode seeks redemption by volunteering for the California Conservation Camp Program. He wishes to shorten his prison sentence and decides to give everything to this camp program. While he works alongside former friends, inmates, and elite firefighters, Bode struggles with the system’s injustice.

Fire Country Season 3: Latest News

With the Fire Country Season 3 release date edging closer, the production team has shared the latest update in the form of a new teaser trailer. The latest trailer suggests that Season 3 will be much wilder and bolder than the first two seasons. It opens straight from the massive season 2 cliffhanger where Gabriela struggles to figure out her feelings while she walks down the aisle. She is all set to wed Diego Moreno despite having a strong chemistry with Bode.

As Gabriela and Diego are ready to start a new life, Bode storms out of her wedding to avoid confrontation between the former couple. While the love triangle is about to play a massive role in the upcoming season, the trailer also hints at a disaster that halts the wedding. This will force the firefighters to return to their action spree in order to protect the innocents. The teaser also shares a steamy romantic scene between Gabriela and Bode.

Fire Country Season 3 Is Officially Renewed

The latest crime drama is undoubtedly the most in demand. That’s why when the show returned with the second season, the network took no time to announce its return. Fire Country Season 2 was released back in February 2024, and just after a couple of episodes, CBS announced Fire Country Season 3. The announcement was no surprise since the series has maintained a winning streak on the network.

Shortly after its debut, the series has been the most talked-about show on CBS. In fact, its premise has created a separate fandom. While the show received mixed ratings, it’s been a fan-favorite series. It gained 50% approval ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and 55 on Metacritic.

Interestingly, the series averaged 9.21 million viewers in live 7-day multiplatform viewing. It was later revealed to be +7% from last year. Not only this, but the series was also in the top 6 on Paramount+. That’s why CBS didn’t think twice about renewing Fire Country Season 3.

First Trailer Out!

The most-anticipating trailer picks straight from the second season’s cliffhanger. Bode storms out of Gabriela and Deigo’s wedding. He is annoyed with the unfair system that has unqualified him from becoming a firefighter despite his brilliant experience. While he deals with the system, Bode also deals with his romantic feelings for Gabriela.

After struggling to stay mum about his feelings for her, Bode walks out of the church to avoid watching her wed with Deigo. Gabriela also grapples with her feelings for Bode. While the trailer hints at a massive love triangle and confrontation, an impeding disaster makes things more challenging: A helicopter crashes the wedding.

Out of nowhere, the helicopter crashes into the church, flying debris and breaking the stained glass. This leads all Edgewater firefighters to action as they deal with the situation. The trailer also suggests that the wedding will be halted, giving Gabriela ample time to think about it.

As the trailer progresses, Gabriela and Bode work together to deal with the accident. This also allows her to think about what she wants. While the duo works together to stop the mess, the Fire Country Season 3 trailer suggests they will soon hit the sheet. After their steamy night together, things will spiral while Deigo waits for Gabriela’s answer. Will she pick Bode?

Who Will Be In Fire Country Season 3?

The series is known for making big moves when it comes to its cast. Surprisingly, the second season left the door open for several main characters to return, so we can safely say several cast members will return. The trailer also confirmed that Max Thieriot would return as Bode Donovan. His love interest, Gabriela Perez (played by Stephanie Arcilla), will also join him. Debuting characters like Diego Moreno (played by Rafael de la Fuente) will also return. Diego has just joined the series in the second season.

In addition, Morena Baccarin will join as Sheriff Mickey. The other Fire Country Season 3 cast members include Supernatural alum Jared Padalecki, who will join the show as veteran firefighter Camden. This new entry will create more challenges in Bode’s life. Besides this, Padalecki’s entry will pave the way for his own spinoff.

The other recurring cast includes Diane Farr as Sharon Leone, Billy Burke as Vince Leone, and Kevin Alejandro as Manny Perez. Other cast members include Jordan Calloway as Jake Crawford, Leven Rambin as Audrey, and Jules Latimer as Eve Edwards. The show might also introduce some new faces. Fire Country Season 3 will also shed light on Gabriela’s family, as the season will introduce her mother, Roberta (played by Paola Nunez).

Fire Country Season 3: What To Expect Next?

The second season ended on a bitter note. Bode and Gabriela’s love affair reached new heights as their passionate romance strengthened. Instead of confessing his feelings, he decides to stay mum and allow her to marry Diego. However, the trailer indicates that a disaster will hit their wedding, giving Gabriela enough time to figure out her feelings.

Although it remains unclear whether she will ever say “I do” to Diego, she does have strong feelings for Bode. That’s because she can’t resist her feelings and attraction for Bode when she’s with him. The trailer also hints at their steamy interaction. This will create more challenges for Bode as she struggles to live a normal life. He is currently dealing with the same issue that his inmate firefighters face.

Despite their experience, they aren’t certified as firefighters. This forces Bode to take a bold step and walk away as he navigates the unfair world of the system. In addition, Bode faces challenges as he tries to make a fresh start. Regardless of everything, Fire Country Season 3 suggests that things will turn more dramatic.

Fire Country Season 3 Release Date

CBS has finally confirmed the Fire Country Season 3 release date. Thieriot-led series has secured a place in the 2024-2025 fall lineup. According to the official announcement, Season 3 will continue with its second season’s timeslot. It will return on Friday, October 18, at 9 pm ET. The show will also be available to stream on Paramount+.

Since the Friday slot has appeared to be a boon for the newest crime drama series, CBS has decided to continue with that trend. As for the episode count, the network has yet to reveal it. The second season was shortened due to the Hollywood strike. Thus, it remains unclear how many episodes Fire Country Season 3 will have. This is all for now.

No Comments on Boss Confirms Prison Break Season 6 Is In Development

Prison Break is undoubtedly the most famous crime drama series on the network. The series remains a flagship show of Fox even after years of its conclusion. Despite that, it’s been years since fans haven’t heard anything about Prison Break Season 6 renewal. Will the series return with another installment? While many questions are running in the back of people’s minds, Marty Adelstein has shared positive news. Adelstein recently opened up about his plans to return with Prison Break. So, without any wait, let’s see what he has in store for us.

Debuting back in 2005, Prison Break follows the struggle of Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth Miller). He got himself behind bars in order to save his brother’s life, who was on death row. Michael’s brother was locked up for a crime he never committed, so the former mapped a foolproof plan to help his brother escape from prison. Through five seasons, the show returned with a gritty and more elaborate story, which left viewers on the edge, wondering how things would move.

Prison Break Season 6: Latest News

While Prison Break remained a flagship series on Fox in the mid-2000s, it was originally canceled in 2009 after four seasons. However, its immense popularity brought it back on the network in the form of a T.V. movie called Prison Break: The Final Break. It also spawned video games and a mobile-exclusive spinoff series. Later, the network announced the first season of Prison Break in 2017. The following year, the network suggested they had plans for Prison Break Season 6.

However, Fox canceled all its plans in August 2019 due to the poor execution of the fifth season. Since then, the show has remained dormant. A new development was announced in 2023, which suggested Prison Break would return. It might return in the form of a series reboot rather than Prison Break Season 6. According to the latest news, Marty Adelstein is overseeing this reboot. He has also revealed that things are going really well, and the creative team is currently working on a Prison Break Reboot.

Is Prison Break Season 6 Renewed?

Fox announced Prison Break Season 6 in 2018. However, the network dismissed its plans, leading to many believing whether the series would ever return. Many rumors even surfaced that a teased Season 6 was in the works. In fact, an unofficial account, Netflix News, reiterated the news by posting Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller’s picture together, stating, “Season 6 is in works.” It caused many to believe in the false news, and soon, the series fans enthusiastically flooded the comment sections.

Many commented, “Finally, it’s happening.” However, it was later turned out to be a rumor. As for the latest development, the production committee hasn’t yet confirmed Prison Break Season 6 or Prison Break Reboot. Well, it’s quite normal in the entertainment industry as several shows and movies often enter the development phase but never see the light of day. But the sure-fire success of the series might lead to the return of the show in the form of a reboot. Nothing has been officially announced.

Prison Break Season 6 Is In Development

Although there’s no official announcement about Season 6 of Prison Break, the series producer Marty Adelstein has shared that the series is in development. In an interview with Deadline on July 19, 2024, Adelstein said, “The first script was really, really well done.” Everything is going well. The writing team has given them notes, and it all looks like it is moving in the perfect direction.

Elgin James will write the new installment of the show. He has also worked as the screenwriter for Mayans M.C. and The Outlaws. However, the producer and the writers have been keeping things under wraps. They haven’t shared details about the series cast, narration, and production timeline, which has led many to believe the series will take longer to return.

Adelstein’s latest production update comes after Hulu confirmed they plan to revive the series in November 2023. Hulu announced that the fan-favorite series would return as they had plans for its reboot. This news comes after Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier said they had no plan to revive Prison Break.

Who Will Be In Prison Break Season 6?

The latest update suggests that the show is gearing up to return to the small screen, but the series’ original cast member, Wentworth Miller, has refused to return. He told Radio Times on November 9, 2020, that he isn’t willing to return to the franchise and is “officially” done with it. The openly gay actor stated that he doesn’t want to play straight characters anymore.

In addition, Michael’s story has been concluded, so Michael won’t be in the series. Wentworth added that he can understand that this is disappointing, especially for fans of the series. The actor also apologized for this. However, he has confirmed that he won’t return for Prison Break Season 6.

Dominic Purcell has said season 6 won’t happen in his new Instagram video pic.twitter.com/VoW60dTTPb
— Prison Break (@prisonn_break_) November 9, 2020

Three years later, Miller’s co-star Dominic Purcell shared on his Instagram that the series is in work, but Miller won’t return. In the post, Dominic said he won’t return to this new iteration of Prison Break. The series will return without him and Miller. However, he wished the production committee the best and said their chapter was closed.

He also thanked the audience for supporting them and the massive success of Prison Break. Since the original cast members have shared that they won’t return for Prison Break Season 6, it’s safe to say that the show won’t return with Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell. However, the production team has yet to share the casting list and who will join the show for the new iteration.

What To Expect In Prison Break Season 6?

While there’s no news about the Prison Break reboot storyline, we do know that the series will be a soft reboot. Instead of returning with absolutely different narration and resetting the Prison Break universe, this new instalment will take place in the same world and explore the different aspects of the story. This will undoubtedly bring some old characters back to our screens and will also bring nostalgia to the series’ fans.

The fifth season finale was somewhat conclusive. It saw Michael returning to his normal life and finally gaining his identity back. He later refused to join the CIA and was happy to live a normal life. But with Wentworth Miller announcing he won’t return, the series will shift its narration. The story won’t see more of Miller and Dominic’s characters as they both said they won’t return for the next iteration. Thus, it remains to be seen how things will unfold in Prison Break Season 6.

Prison Break Season 6 Release Date

As of now, the production committee hasn’t yet shared much about the Prison Break Season 6 release date. The creative team has not announced whether the show will return with another season. Since details about the next season are scarce, it’s hard to guess when the show will return.

But if everything goes according to the producer’s plans, there’s a chance that the show might be announced soon and undergo production in the upcoming months. If that’s the case, then Season 6 of Prison Break might return sometime in 2026. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

No Comments on Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18: In Production! Will It Return This Year?

Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18: The procedural drama Criminal Minds: Evolution has just wrapped up airing its second season, and fans are already clamoring for the next season.

Following the success of Criminal Minds, which ran on CBS from 2005 until 2020, Paramount+ returned with a familiar FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit team to crack the case of the Gold Star killer. The show is undoubtedly the most epic one. That’s because instead of focusing on episodic format, this series has returned with a serialized narrative focusing on an ongoing storyline. So far, the team has faced a lot, but they have now captured the mastermind behind this murder mystery. Can they return to continue the series? Let’s find out!

Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 Is Renewed

The procedural series fans can now breathe a sigh of relief as their favorite crime drama series, Criminal Minds: Evolution, is back to rock their world. That’s right! Paramount+ is looking forward to returning with Joe Mantegna and his team to delve deeper into the crime world. In other words, the network has renewed the series for the third season, Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18. The renewal announcement came out a day before the second season’s release on June 6, 2024.

WHEELS UP !!! https://t.co/N6UAwFZeIQ
— paget brewster (@pagetpaget) June 5, 2024

Shortly after this announcement, Emily Prentiss actress Paget Brewster took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to confirm the series is returning with another installment. Paget wrote, “WHEELS UP!!!” referencing the series’ iconic catchphrase. Joe Mantegna also shared his excitement about returning for the third season. He wrote on X that he was thrilled to announce that the team would be entering into another season of Criminal Minds: Evolution.

When Will Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 Undergo Filming?

It looks like Criminal Minds: Evolution is back to their business. Just three weeks after the second season wrapped up airing, Kirsten Vangsness shared the jaw-dropping update. She revealed on a post on Instagram that Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 was in production. The post featured the cast and crew members, suggesting everyone has returned. However, filming didn’t start back then. Instead, the team returned for their first table read of the third season.

Kirsten wrote, “First table read of the season [Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18]—the love is deep here.” She also shared photos of Adam Rodriguez and A.J. Cook exchanging a hug. There’s no denying that the show has received immense love from the series’ fans. That’s why the fans didn’t remain calm when they saw the cast reunion. Many flooded the comment section with love. A user wrote, “YAYAYAYAYAY I’M SO EXCITED.” Another said, “FIRST TABLE READ ALREADY?”

Since the series has already done a table read, it suggests that the creative team behind the show has already mapped Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18. So, it doesn’t seem like the series will take longer to start filming. Typically, production takes several months to conclude. It remains unclear when the show will enter filming. However, since they had already had their table read, the scripting was concluded. So, the camera might start rolling sometime in the fall.

Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 Cast Details

The second season’s ending suggests that the entire BAU team will return to reprise their roles. That means Joe Mantegna will return as the stalwart leader, David Rossi. His other team members include Paget Brewster as Emily Prentiss, Kirsten Vangsness as Penelope Garcia, and AJ Cook as Jennifer ‘JJ’ Jareau. Aisha Tyler as Dr. Tara Lewis, Ryan-James Hatanaka as Tyler Green, and Adam Rodriguez as Luke Alvarez will also return. It remains unclear whether Zach Gilford will return as Elias Voit.

However, Zach Gilford is eager to return for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Zach said he would love to return if the team wanted him to. He added he loved the character and there was a lot he could do. But story-wise, he had no idea how things would move or whether they needed Elias in the series.

More than that, Zach shared that the Criminal Minds: Evolution set was the best set he’d ever seen. Zach added that everyone in the series, from the executive producers to the cast and crew, was so happy to be a part of it. It was just a great place to be a part of, and he also shared that he felt good about himself and what he was doing.

Will Shemar Moore And Matthew Gray Gubler Return?

Matthew Gray Gubler’s Dr. Spencer Reid didn’t appear in any of the episodes of this series, leading many to believe that Matthew wouldn’t return as Reid. But Prentiss did share where Reid is in the second season’s episode “Piranha.” In that episode, Jill Gideon (Felicity Huffman) asked about Reid’s whereabouts, and Prentiss simply said he was on sabbatical. This suggests that Matthew is still a part of the team. But it remains unclear when he will return.

The series showrunner Erica Messer has shared that the door is open for him, and he can return anytime. She said that at this point, only an emotional draw could bring back someone, not any casework. As for Matthew, he’s ready to return. He told Good Housekeeping that he is ready to return to play Reid. He even voiced his return on The Six O’Clock Show. Matthew shared that it would be an honor to return, and he would absolutely love to return to Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18.

Shemar Moore shared the same sentiments as he spoke to TV Insider in February 2024. Moore said he only wants an invitation to return as SSA Derek Morgan. He never forgot where he came from, whether it was The Young and the Restless or Criminal Minds. While he voices his return, Moore shared that all he needs is the creative team to write his character so that he can visit them. As of now, it remains unclear whether they will return. But one thing is sure: the actors are ready to reprise their roles.

Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18: What To Expect Next?

The second season completed the Gold Star storyline. However, the finale left several loose ends to be explored in the third season. Most importantly, Elias Voit’s identity was revealed in the end, suggesting things would be dangerous for him. Since he was attacked in prison, it was unclear whether he would survive the attack or if it was just the end of his chapter. While the audience was waiting for a proper answer, the showrunner Erica Messer teased that Elias Voit would return.

Messer shared that his storyline hadn’t been completed. There is more that he can do, but it feels like it isn’t the end of this season. So Elias will return, which will create more trouble down the road. During an interview with Collider, Messer shared that the story will continue from where it was left off. It will indeed focus on Elias’ storyline, bringing back the Gold Star. The three characters, Jade, Pete Bailey, and Mila’s storyline, might have seemed to have concluded.

But it isn’t. Messer shared that they aren’t done, and some of Gold Stars will return in Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18. They aren’t done with the season break yet. So, it seems like the third season will explore Elias’ story arc and whether he survives the attack. Meanwhile, the third season will bring another criminal case to the picture. However, it remains unclear what storyline will be played off in the next season.

Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 Release Date

The show hasn’t yet started filming. Although it has entered production, the series has yet to start filming. This means the third season won’t return this year. Filming will take six to seven months to wrap up before undergoing the post-production phase. Considering this, it doesn’t seem like the show will return this early. Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 might air sometime in the spring of 2025. It’s a tentative date. But we will update you. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

The Night Agent Season 2: “It’s A Wrap!” Boss Teases Early Release Date

No Comments on The Night Agent Season 2: “It’s A Wrap!” Boss Teases Early Release Date

After a successful first season of The Night Agent, Netflix is all set to enchant the audience by bringing back the low-level FBI agent, Peter Sutherland. Yes, you read that right! The Night Agent Season 2 is back, and it is just a few months away from returning to our screens. That’s right! Showrunner Shawn Ryan confirmed the production status and suggested that the series will return soon.

But not only with Season 2, but the show is gearing up to surprise its fans with a long-running franchise. Curious to learn how this will happen? Then, keep reading!

Based on Matthew Quirk’s novel The Night Agent, the series centers on FBI Agent Peter. Despite being a low-level FBI agent, Peter was forced to deal with a conspiracy about a mole at the U.S. government. This not only created challenges for him but also left him doubting the highest-level officers as he started the search for the traitor. Amid this, Peter was tasked with protecting the tech CEO, Rose Larkin, from the public’s wrath.

The Night Agent Season 2 Is Officially Renewed

Netflix’s original series The Night Agent debuted back on March 23, 2023, and took the world by storm with its fantastic narration and chase drama. While the series left a lasting impression, the streaming platform didn’t take longer to announce the second season. That’s right, just a week later, Netflix renewed the series for The Night Agent Season 2.

Shortly after this announcement, creator and executive producer Shawn Ryan said they were thrilled to share the series with the world. The last week was just like a whirlwind. However, the team was surprised to know that their show had been renewed for another season. Shawn credited such an accomplishment to their writers, cast, crew, directors, and partners at Sony Pictures Television and Netflix.

He said they couldn’t be prouder or excited for The Night Agent Season 2 to share the further adventure with the fans. Sony Pictures Television President Katherine Pope also shared that they were proud to see the show becoming a global sensation. Now, they couldn’t wait to tell the story with their remarkable creative leader, Shawn Ryan, and their wonderful partners at Netflix.

Vice President of Drama Series at Netflix Jinny Howe also said they were proud of The Night Agent, which became a global sensation after its debut. Jinny added that they were ready to bring more of Shawn Ryan’s creation’s action and suspense with a stellar cast featuring Luciane Buchanan, Gabriel Basso, and Hong Chau.

Shawn Ryan Revealed The Series Would Follow An Anthology Pattern

Ahead of the series renewal, the showrunner Shawn Ryan told Deadline he had some ideas for The Night Agent. However, he only wanted to keep things to himself until the time came. He added that the initial pitch for the series was to follow an anthology pattern, with each season telling its own story.

The narration would be self-enclosed, consisting of a beginning, middle, and end. So, any future seasons would include only a few characters present in the previous season. He added that they were still working on that plan.

Netflix/ Shawn Ryan talks about Season 2

It was important for him to conclude this specific story in one season; he didn’t want to stretch the entire story over five seasons. For Ryan, the best way to deal with such high-octane storytelling is to conclude the chapter before jumping on to the next season. This will also give the audience clarity and a sense of storyline so they can see how things are turning out.

Is The Night Agent A Popular Series?

Of course it is! The series remained a top performer on the giant streaming platform, and there’s no denying it. Every Tuesday, Netflix releases statistics for its biggest movies and shows, and this data suggests that The Night Agent was a highly successful series just after its debut. According to the reports, the show ranked three on the Global Top Ten in 93 countries in its premiere week.

In fact, the series remained in the top ten for ten weeks, with 776.62 million watch hours. Not only this, but the series also remained the sixth most-watched series on the first 91 days, with 803.70M watch hours. In addition, Netflix Engagement Reports suggest that The Night Agent was the most-watched T.V. show on the streaming platform.

The series secured a billion watch hours globally, approximately 118,200,000 views. According to the stats, the series was the second-best launch released on a Thursday after The Watcher. It was only behind The Watcher and Wednesday.

Nielsen numbers also suggest that the show performed incredibly well and remained in the top 10s for seven weeks, amassing 173.50 million hours. In addition to the critics, the audience scores were also incredible. On Rotten Tomatoes, the show gained 82% positive ratings and 69% from critics. Meanwhile, The Night Agent garnered 7.7 stars out of 10 on IMDb and 68 on Metacritic.

The Night Agent Season 2: Production Details

While the series was renewed last year, it didn’t undergo production until February 2024. Earlier this February, the production team shared a snap of Gabriel Basso on set. It featured a video of him flying in a helicopter, suggesting the filming had started. However, the cast and crew didn’t share more details of the show’s filming.

However, the series showrunner Shawn Ryan confirmed this August that The Night Agent Season 2 is closer to being ready. He revealed that the production team had moved further away. Ryan confirmed that they had finished editing all ten episodes and had started working on sound, music, and VFX. He also shared that the episodes would be ready soon.

This left many to wonder if the show would return sooner than ever. That’s because The Night Agent Season 2 has undergone the final stages of post-production. However, Ryan noted that this is the phase that might either make or break the quality of the show. The show is in post-production and expected to wrap up in a couple of months.

Well, The Night Agent started filming on February 5, 2024, sharing some behind-the-scenes via social media posts. In addition, the second season was filmed in New York, Thailand, and Washington, D.C. According to the reports, the budget of the second season is reportedly between $2 and $3M per episode, and the series was filmed by codenames including TNAS2, OSPREY 212, and OSPREY. In late March, the team celebrated its first anniversary, and a few months later, on June 7, 2024, the team announced it was a wrap.

But Production Faced A Setback

Despite the series remaining one of the most popular series in 2023, it was among all the shows facing setbacks due to the Hollywood strikes. In May 2023, writers went on strike; later, in July 2023, the actors followed their steps. This gravely impacted the scripting process and production of the series. Shawn Ryan tweeted on X that he was supposed to be writing the second season of The Night Agent, but he was here supporting the writers guild strike.

I’d rather be writing Season 2 of #TheNightAgent for @netflix rather than picketing them, but all writers need a fair deal before we can resume our work. We create the TV shows and movies that drive billions in profits. Writers deserve their fair share. #UnionStrong pic.twitter.com/aFpcqVqYSO
— Shawn Ryan (@ShawnRyanTV) May 5, 2023

He also stated that the writers were the driving force behind the profit of T.V. shows and movies, so they deserved their fair share. While the Hollywood strike affected several series, it was concluded in late September 2023. Later in October, Ryan told Variety that the writing work on The Night Agent Season 2 was finished more than halfway before the strikes started in May. He also confirmed that the production was prepared over the summer, but the writers started working on the series on October 2.

The Night Agent Season 2 Cast Details

Shawn Ryan has already stated that the series will follow an anthology pattern. It won’t return with the same cast members, as every season will see some new faces. Despite that, it’s safe to say Gabriel Basso and Luciane Buchanan will return as the series’ prominent cast members for The Night Agent Season 2. Basso will play Peter Sutherland, and Buchanan will join as Rose Larkin.

The production committee later announced a big new cast coming up in the second season. In December 2023, The Burial actress Amanda Warren was announced to join as the series regular. She will play Catherine Weaver, a seasoned case officer and veteran FBI agent. With a critical eye and a sharp mind, she doesn’t suffer fools and is a powerful person in the field and D.C.

Netflix/ Amanda Warren, Berto Colon, and Arienne Mandi

Later, the show announced some new regulars and recurring roles in January 2024. The series regulars include Berto Colon of Orange Is The New Black. He will play Solomon Robinson, a former Marine who is now working for powerful businessmen as the right-hand man fixer. Arienne Mandi will join as Noor Kabiri, a low-level aide in the Iranian mission.

Westworld’s Louis Herthum will join as Jacob Monroe. He’s an international businessman with powerful connections. The two recurring cast members include The Good Half actress Brittany Snow as Alice Leeds and Masters of Sex’s Teddy Sears as Warren Stocker. Alice is Peter’s partner and mentor in Night Action. Meanwhile, Warren is a high-level intelligence officer. Sadly, he will be the subject of a Night Action investigation.

New Cast Members

While the series has revealed the new cast list, in March 2024, the production committee confirmed the names of The Night Agent Season 2 guest stars. Black Adam’s Marwan Kenzari will join as Reza, decorated soldier court marshaled. The Blacklist’s Dikran Tulaine will play Viktor, the country’s former leader who was convicted of war crimes. The Sunlit Night‘s Elise Kibler as glamorous British socialite Sloan. The other cast members include The Vampire Diaries’s Michael Malarkey as Markus.

Netflix/ Marwan Kenzari, Michael Malarkey, Keon Alexander, and Siya Rostami

Markus is a military chief. Despite being a loyal nephew to a dictator, he suffers the complications of being newly convicted of war crimes. Alladin’s Navid Negahban will join as the U.N. ambassador for Iran, Abbas. The Expanse’s Keon Alexander will join as Javad, the oversees security for the Iranian Mission. Station 11′s Rob Heaps will join as Tomas, who is working on bringing back his family to power. Tomas is the elitist son of the dictator. Gotham‘s Francesca Root-Dodson will join as Amelie.

David Chen as Jeff, Michael Bonini as Tyler, Siya Rostami as Daryoosh, and Anousha as Haleh will also join The Night Agent Season 2. The other cast members include Matt Dellapina as Frank, Miriam Silverman as Gretchen, and Mershad Torabi as Bijan. Kiarash Amani as Farhad, Graham Harvey as Ethan, and Kylo Freeman will also join the show.

What To Expect From The Night Agent Season 2?

The first season finale revealed that the president’s own chief of staff, Diane Farr (Hong Chau), was the mole. Farr worked alongside Gordon Wick (Ben Cotton) and Vice President Maddie Redfield (Sarah Desjardins), aiming to bomb the metro. While the series wrapped the storyline, it seems Farr will return. She isn’t done yet and makes her way into the White House.

Besides her, the nefarious mogul Gordon will also return. In an interview, Ryan shared that someone from the first season will return. He said because of his resources, the person would return, and Peter would deal with him again. As for Peter, things will be a bit dramatic. He has seen a lot, and Peter’s actor Basso told Entertainment Weekly that his life will be filled with a lot of drama and bitterness in The Night Agent Season 2.

Peter will deal with the people who tried to kill and rob him in the first season. Basso shared that the second season will be challenging for his character. That’s because he will struggle with inner turmoil. He is angry at those people and will plot his revenge. While revenge can only calm him down, how things will move remains to be seen.

But the best thing is that all this turmoil will lead to Peter’s self-discovery. Ryan previously mentioned in an interview that The Night Agent Season 2 will focus on Peter’s journey and where he is going. How he handles everything will be explored in the next run. Peter has seen a lot, so it’s important to cover his self-discovery and why it’s important for him to be a Night Agent.

Rose And Peter’s Relationship Will Suffer

Meanwhile, in the finale, Peter and Rose say goodbye to each other. During the former returns to fulfil his duty, Rose returns to California to work on her dream. Ryan told Netflix’s Tudum that Peter will work on his next mission after Rose’s goodbye. He will travel to a new destination, while Rose will pursue her Silicon Valley dreams. Buchanan told Netflix that her character will face some challenges.

After being betrayed by a friend, Rose will work on her goal to start a new cyber tech company. But after this betrayal, things won’t be that easy for her. She will face some challenges to cope with the loss. The actress also shared that Rose might undergo therapy after witnessing the first season’s incidents.

Shawn Ryan Signs A Four Years Deal With Netflix

With season 2 of The Night Agent in the post-production phase, the showrunner has signed a four-year deal with the streaming giant. Sources told Deadline that after Ryan’s overall deal with Sony TV had expired, the creator had signed another deal with Netflix. Not only this, but the streaming giant had already started the writing room for The Night Agent Season 3. While the second season has yet to be released, Netflix is all set to begin the production of its third season.

Well, it’s quite common with Netflix’s big banner projects. Since The Night Agent performed incredibly well on the platform, the streamer decided to return with Season 3 of The Night Agent ahead of its renewal. In addition, Ryan’s deal is “pretty remarkable” as it is said to be in the eight-figure range. However, leaving Sony TV was difficult for Ryan as he was known for staying in one place as part of his loyalty. In fact, he previously signed 13 years of back-to-back deals with Sony TV.

The Night Agent Season 2 Release Date

The series has already concluded its filming and is about to wrap up its post-production phase. Since a couple more months will be required to wrap things up, it doesn’t seem like the show will take more time to return. Considering this, it’s safe to say that The Night Agent Season 2 release date will fall in November-December 2024.

No Comments on The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3: Gets Fall Release Date

The series is undoubtedly one of the most amazing shows on Netflix. With the second season of The Lincoln Lawyer performing incredibly well on the platform, the streaming giant has shared the much-needed update on The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3. Is the show returning this year?

Well, the series has already wrapped up its filming, and the latest photos suggest fans will soon get a chance to witness the gritty drama on their screen. But when? You will be surprised to know that Netflix has already shared The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 release date. So, keep reading to know more.

Based on Michael Connelly’s book series The Brass Verdict, the series is focused on lawyer Mickey Haller. He works as an attorney at Lincoln Navigator. The first and second seasons have explored Mickey’s life and how things turn upside-down in his personal life. While his marriage with his first wife suffers a lot, he will soon find a way to start a new romance with a new partner. But will this make things fruitful in season 3? Let’s find out.

The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 Is Back!

Netflix’s original series, The Lincoln Lawyer, debuted in May 2022 and took the world by storm. Since the series has remained a massive hit, the streaming giant never thought twice about renewing the show for its sophomore run, which was split into two parts. While fans waited for the second part of the second season of The Lincoln Lawyer, Netflix surprised everyone with jolting news.

In August 2023, the streaming giant confirmed the show will return for a third season. However, the renewal discussion began ahead of the volume 2 premiere. According to reports, Netflix planned to start production earlier, but the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes happened. However, production didn’t start sooner.

As per the plans, the third season will consist of 10 episodes based on Michael Connelly’s fifth book of The Lincoln Lawyer series, The Gods of Guilt. Later, the showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez discussed the series renewal. The showrunners said the audience response to the series was fantastic and gratifying.

They were thrilled to return with The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 to dig deeper into Michael Connelly’s universe. Netflix’s Vice President of Scripted Series, Peter Friedlander, responded, “We’re thrilled to bring back The Lincoln Lawyer for a third season.”

Peter also expressed gratitude to the series showrunners for bringing such a fantastic series to their platform. The show has peaked the global lists, and it’s a testament to their work. The vice president also thanked the cast members for bringing such stories to the global audience.

When Will The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 Production Begin?

Since the series was renewed during the Hollywood strikes, this suggests that the scripting was done ahead of the WGA strike. Just like other shows, The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 was also affected by the then-ongoing strikes. However, as soon as the strike was resolved in mid-November 2023, reports surfaced that The Lincoln Lawyer’s third season would be the first one to return to production.

The series started production in January 2024. On January 18, 2024, the streaming giant confirmed that the third season is under production. Netflix also dropped the first filming look. The first picture shows Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s Mickey Halle and Neve Campbell’s Maggie Mcpherson conversing on a couch. They both looked comfortable around each other as they discussed some light-hearted topics.

The filming took only six months to wrap up, and it concluded in early June 2024. On June 3, Sierra Marshall took to her Instagram to share that the filming was concluded. Sierra wrote, “That’s a wrap!” The actor also shared that the third season was the wildest one and that she was thankful for all the experience and love she had received from the cast and crew.

The filming took place in Los Angeles. While the filming wrapped up in June, the series didn’t take much time to conclude its post-production stage. As for the budget, Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 budget is reportedly between $3 and $5 million per episode.

The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3: Cast Details

Since the third season is returning, we can expect to see the extraordinaire attorney Mickey Haller (played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) back on our screen. Jazz Raycole will join him as Izzy Letts. The other cast members include Becki Newton as Lorna Crane, Krista Warner as Hayley Haller, and Elliott Gould as David ‘Legal’ Siegel. Fiona Rene as Gloria Dayton will also return with Devon Graye as Julian La Cosse.

Other cast members include Yaya DaCosta as Andrea Freeman and Angus Sampson as Cisco Wojciechowski. However, a report suggested Neve Campbell would not return as Mickey’s first wife, Maggie McPherson. The latest photos confirm her return. The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 can also expect to see some new faces. These include Merrin Dungey as Judge Regina Turner.

She is described as a former public defender who’s younger and more progressive than the other district judges. The third season will also feature a newcomer, Allyn Moriyon, who will make his TV debut as Eddie Rojas, a fitness enthusiast.

He is used to babysitting Mickey’s daughter Hayley, so when he needs a good lawyer, Mickey comes in handy. Barry‘s actor John Pirruccello will join as prosecutor William Forsythe. The Morning Show‘s Philip Anthony Rodriguez will join as Chief Deputy District Attorney Adam Suarez, Andrea Freeman’s senior. Yaya DaCosta will also return as Andrea Freeman.

What Will Happen In The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3?

The third season will be based on The Gods of Guilt, focusing on a challenging case. A client in desperate need of help will contact Mikey for his services. While Mikey will take Andre La Cosse’s case, things will turn dramatic. That’s because the person is accused of murdering a sex worker.

Although Mikey had helped the latter in the past, he will try to unearth the mystery surrounding this murder mystery case. Although the series will focus on such a challenging case, TV Insider shared that the upcoming episode will also focus on a lighter side. The new photo suggests Andrea Freeman will return. In the picture, Andrea and Mickey are seen enjoying a playful banter in the kitchen.

The series showrunner has also shared that their relationship will grow. It’s more like a friendship, flirtation, and mutual respect. Besides this, Ted shared that Andrea will face a challenging situation when she loses a case. Being a person, who never screws up, things will be difficult for Andrea when her life turns upside down.

The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3: Release Date

The streaming giant has already announced the release date of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3. That’s right! Netflix has confirmed that the show will be released on October 17, 2024. It will consist of 10 episodes and will appear on the streaming platform. However, it remains unclear whether the third season will be a split season. But we will update you. This is all for now.

It quickly left everyone on their toes, wondering whether the series will return with another season. Will there be Based On A True Story Season 2? Well, the show is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about series.

In fact, the first season finale left the door open by digging into a new murder case. The stakes are already high as the arc has yet to be explored. But the best part is the network recently dropped the much-needed trailer. So, let’s see how things will be explored in the next season.

Created by Craig Rosenberg, Based On A True Story follows the story of Nathan and Ava, who run their true crimes and serial killers podcast. However, their lives spiral when they interview the West Side Ripper, a serial killer, without informing the police. This not only destroys their online crime empire, but they also receive criticism from people for interviewing a serial killer. With their lives taking a darker turn, season 2 will become more challenging.

Based On A True Story Season 2: Latest News

Since the series was renewed, it hasn’t revealed much about its second season. But finally, after months of waiting, the network announced the Based On A True Story Season 2 release date. You’ll be surprised to know that the series is edging closer to returning to our screens. Peacock announced the second season’s release via a one-minute teaser featuring Nathan, Ava, Matt, and Tory. In the trailer, they all can be seen looking down at a buried dead body. Not only this but Season 2 has also announced the new cast members. So, keep reading!

Based On A True Story Season 2 Is Renewed

The first season aired on June 8, 2023, and within four months of its release, Peacock renewed the series for the second season. Why not? The series performed incredibly well and was a hit among the audience and critics. It gained 7.2 stars out of 10 on IMDb and 76% on Rotten Tomatoes. The series aired in the US earlier in Peacock, and at the end of December, the series premiered on Sky and NOW in the UK.

After officially acquiring the rights to Based On A True Story, Sky confirmed that the second season will air on Sky Max and NOW. Sky UK’s Group Director of Acquisitions, Katie Keenan, said they were delighted to confirm Chris Messina and Kaley Cuoco would return for Based On A True Story Season 2. She said the first season was highly successful, and they couldn’t wait for the next season and what was in store for the true crime-obsessed duo.

Who Will Be In Based On A True Story Season 2 Cast?

Many characters were killed off in the first season, but you don’t need to fret! That’s because the production committee has announced that several cast members and characters will return in Based On A True Story Season 2. The lead characters Ava (played by Kaley Cuoco) and Nathan (played by Chris Messina) will return for the next season. Apart from them, Tom Bateman as The West Side Killer, Matt, and Liana Liberato as Ava’s sister, Tory, will also return.

Aaron Staton, who plays Simon, is the other cast member who will return for the second season. Since Matt will continue to collaborate with The West Side Killer on a new podcast, that means Based On A True Story Season 2 will introduce some new characters on screen. Stranger Things Natalia Dyer will join the series as a bartender, a victim of the West Side Ripper.

First Trailer Is Out

Peacock recently released the first teaser trailer of Based On A True Story Season 2, which hints that the narrative will be the same as the first season. The clip features Matt, Tory, Ava, and Nathan all looking down into a hole. It later appears that a dead body is buried in that hole, which is covered by dirt. The scene also shows Matt holding a shovel.

That means he is the one doing the burying stuff. However, looking at Tory’s expression, it seems like she has accepted Matt’s true identity and murderous nature. While the teaser didn’t share much about Based On A True Story Season 2, it does hint that the second season will bring more challenges, humor, and murders down the road.

What Will Happen In Based On A True Story Season 2?

The first season’s ending teases that things will become more dramatic in Ava and Nathan’s life. In the finale, they played a role in Ruby’s murder as they failed to report the murder and the West Side Ripper to the police. This creates more challenges for them as Simon witnesses the entire scene where the duo helps Matt hide Ruby’s body. Since Simon knows everything, his life will be in danger. There’s a chance that he might be Matt’s next target.

Matt will kill Simon to protect his disturbing kill spree. Based On A True Story Season 2 will also reveal that Ava’s sister Tory is dating Matt. However, she doesn’t know about Matt’s true nature. The upcoming trailer suggests that Tory is ready to accept Matt as he is. She doesn’t care whether Matt is a murderer or a dangerous person. She will stay by his side and accept his violent nature.

While Matt and Tory’s relationship will play a part in season 2, the story will turn more chaotic. Based On A True Story Season 2 suggests that Matt will return with his podcast spinoff. This time, he will be interviewing new serial killers. This will create more challenges for Ava and Nathan, pushing them into an even deeper hole. The story will also focus on the birth of Ava and Nathan’s baby. Now, it remains to be seen how things will change in their lives.

Based On A True Story Season 2 Release Date

The wait is over! Since the series has been renewed for another season, fans have been waiting for it to return to their screen. Finally, after a year-long wait, Peacock has confirmed the Based On A True Story Season 2 release date. Season 2 is all set to return on November 21, 2024, on Peacock in the US and Sky and NOW in the UK. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.
