This week, Netflix has finally shared the official trailer of their original comedy series Space Force starring Steve Carell and co-created by Greg Daniels, creator of The Office. The show is a satirical take on the United States Space Force, a new division of the U.S. armed forces announced by the Trump administration back in 2018. 

The streaming service continues on its hot streak of original series. Carell stars as General Naird, who is the head of the space division of the Armed Forces, and is tasked with developing the space force despite not being qualified to do so. “It was always my dream to start something from the ground up,” Carell says in the trailer. “But space is hard.”

He can also be heard hilariously saying in the trailer, “We’re gonna Apollo 13 the s*** out of this.”

The series co-stars Lisa Kudrox, John Malkovich, Ben Schwartz, Noah Emmerich, and comedian Fred Willard, who sadly passed away last Friday at 86 years old, before the debut of the series. 

Check out the trailer below. The series is set to debut on May 29th. 

Netflix is on a roll, and just recently debuted the new trailer for the Spike Lee-directed film ‘Da 5 Bloods’ this past week.

Snowpiercer, a new series adapted from the dystopian 2013 movie of the same name is coming to Netflix in Canada on May 17, hitting cable the same day. Netflix just released the trailer for Snowpiercer, the sci-fi series starring Jennifer Connelly, Mickey Sumner, and Lena Hall. 

Snowpiercer is based on Jacques Lob and Jean Marc Rochette’s graphic novels. The post-apocalyptic show produced by Joon-Ho, director of Parasite is about passengers on a perpetually moving train, the only living survivors seven years after the world freezes over and becomes uninhabitable to humans. “First, the weather changed. In the final days of the freeze, the rich retreated to an ark. This is Snowpiercer. This is how we survive. There are those who have, and those who suffer,” says main character Andre Layton in the series’ trailer.

The show follows the passengers and their struggle with class-divide as the wealthy live comfortably while the poor suffer: “The Earth’s remaining inhabitants are confined to [the] single train as revolution brews among the class-divided cars.”

In the current climate, viewers want exciting content now more than ever. Brett Weitz, general manager of TNT as well as TBS and truTV says, “We are moving up ‘Snowpiercer’s’ premiere so that fans can enjoy this futuristic series even earlier.”

Watch the trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be tuning in on May 17th.

At least we can rely on our favorite TV shows right now. And among those shows, TLC’s increasingly-popular reality T.V. series 90 Day Fiance is quickly hopping on the COVID-19 pandemic to bring us a much-needed break from our own realities. If you’re not familiar with the reality TV series, it follows couples who have met over the internet, and make the move (literal move) to be together in real life, which involves leaving their own country and moving to America with their fiance. Then, of course, they have 90 days to get married so they are allowed to stay in the States. There is a lot of drama, cultural boundaries to cross, and generally hilarious shenanigans making this series and its many spin-off iterations all too engaging.

As announced today by way of Variety, TLC has confirmed they will be doing a five-episode limited series for the 90 Day Fiance franchise with forty former cast members taking part. The spin-off, aptly titled Self-Quarantined, will premiere on April 20th, and has already begun production. Production essentially means that the cast members have begun shooting themselves and one another, with confessionals being recorded video chat. “Our crew is not near them physically at all,” Howard Lee, the president and general manager of TLC confirmed. “They will be helping them remotely.” Lee also explains not to expect anything too fancy when it comes to visual production– “This series will look very hot-off-the-press — it will look like the paint has not dried.” Lee said. “I think our audience is incredibly forgiving right now, and I’m hoping that they accept the way it looks. It will be messy!”

As far as which of these lovable90 Day Fiance cast members we can expect to see, Darcey and Jesse will both be making a return appearance, as well as recent couple Pedro and Chantel, among others.

The episodes for this mini-series are expected to run until May, and right now, Lee is stating it will be a one-time only event. Will you be watching? What TV shows have you been consuming on lockdown?
