Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Netflix has confirmed that Bridgerton season four will indeed be Benedict’s story:
If you want to know what this season will look like: SPOILERS ABOUND.
Uh-oh: House of the Dragon finale spoilers have leaked online again.
That huge sports streamer, Venu, will cost you $42.99 a month. “The service will include access to a number of live, linear channels including ESPN, Fox, ABC, TNT and TBS. Venu will also include access to ESPN+.” The streamer is set to launch in the fall, though no date has been announced.
Don Lemon is suing Elon Musk for breach of contract after that thin-skinned brat canceled his Twitter show following an unflattering interview, lol.
Sounds like Sam Levinson is a real pain in the ass, if you’re looking for the reason why Euphoria season three is taking so damn long.
Unsurprisingly, there is some talk about bringing Your Honor back from the dead, now that it’s doing well on Netflix.
Peacock shed a ton of subscribers just ahead of the price increase — and the Olympics, which is a shame because the reviews coming in from their streaming coverage have been mostly very positive.
Prime Video is making it easier to tell if something you want to watch is available with your subscription or if you’ll have to pay extra for it.
Following the announcement that President Biden would not seek reelection, viewership of Veep’s first season on Max was up 353%. For some reason.
Veep is having a moment, thanks to Kamala’s campaign and the … similarities. But don’t expect a reboot — it already had the perfect ending.
From Armando Ianucci, the creator of Veep:

Meanwhile, Former President Birther spoke at the National Association of Black Journalists yesterday in what was supposed to be an hour-long interview. It lasted all of 35 minutes, that’s how well it went.
Interviewer Rachel Scott of ABC News began by pointing out Former President Dementia’s history of racist statements and asked him why Black voters should trust him. This is how he responded:
@cnn In an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists’ convention in Chicago, former President Donald Trump was combative with one of the moderators, ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott, who had asked about his past racist comments.
It went downhill from there: The Former Race-Baiter in Chief went on to double down on his “Black jobs” nonsense; belittled his own Vice President candidate; reaffirmed he would pardon January 6 rioters; and most appallingly, when asked if he believed she is a “DEI hire,” he deflected the question entirely before questioning Vice President Harris’ Blackness, suggesting that she only recently “turned Black.”
@cnn Donald Trump responds to questions during a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists convention about Vice President Kamala Harris and whether he believes she is a “DEI hire,” as some Republicans have claimed. #NABJ #DonaldTrump #KamalaHarris #CNN #News
His people, sensing what a dumpster fire this was, yoinked him off of the stage as quickly as they could:

Vice President Harris responded with her usual grace and competence:

Get well very soon, Shirley Chung.

Hoping Pete Davidson gets well soon.
And hoping that Jax Taylor gets better quickly.
