Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Bridgerton’s back, gentle readers! Your mother’s favorite Netflix show is back for the first half of season three today (the second half will debut on June 13), and it’s time that our beloved Penelope Featherton GETS HERS. I haven’t started watching yet — that will be remedied shortly — but I have found a bunch of links that would do Lady Whistledown’s gossipy heart good:
- Here is what you might want to remember about season two ahead of season three.
- This season is making some changes from the book series — most notably by skipping ahead to book 4, instead of following Benedict Bridgerton’s scandalous love story. They also added a whole new character, added all sorts of new romantic entanglements and relationships, and fortunately cut the idea that Penelope needed to lose weight to become beautiful.
- Speaking of: actress Nicola Coughlan specifically demanded to be “very naked” on camera for a particular scene: “There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice. It just felt like the biggest ‘fuck you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering. I felt beautiful in the moment, and I thought: ‘When I’m 80, I want to look back on this and remember how fucking hot I looked!’” Fuck yeah.
- Speaking of fucking hot … literally.
- Here is your song list for season three.
- Obviously, you can shop Bridgerton.
- Finally, IndieWire argues that Bridgerton is Netflix’s most valuable series. Even more valuable than Squid Game.
Venu Sports is the name of that new Disney/Fox/Warner Bros. Discovery sports streaming bundle. Still no word on the price yet.
Sophie Turner is talking about her divorce from Joe Jonas for the first time, if you’re interested.
Vice President Harris is also ready to debate …. whoever her opponent will be.
Andy Cohen has called out the people who think Dorit and P.K.’s separation is all a publicity stunt, and I agree: all you had to do was watch five minutes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to see these two hated each other.
Former Days of Our Lives star Camila Banus is out here talking shit about her former co-workers, without actually saying anything.
DID WE LEARN NOTHING FROM THE WILLY WONKA EXPERIENCE?
Disney’s Bob Iger thinks that the answer to TV’s woes is to create less content but then spread that same content over several different platforms. Which … may be true during this transitional period, but at some point, people are going to get rid of duplicate services, and then what?
