The BAFTA Awards voters threw their support behind Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, handing the drama five wins including Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Leading Actress (Frances McDormand), Supporting Actor (Sam Rockwell), and Original Screenplay.

Also earning one win after going into the night with multiple nominations were Get Out (Rising Star Daniel Kaluuya) and Dunkirk (Special Visual Effects).

Marvel and Disney’s Black Panther earned an outstanding 97% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes (282 fresh reviews and only nine rotten) and an A+ average score from audiences, according to Cinemascore. Both scores are rare for superhero films, but director Ryan Coogler and his Black Panther cast had many more reasons to celebrate over the film’s opening weekend. Early three-day weekend estimates have the film grossing $192 million domestically, and the four-day Presidents Day holiday numbers are expected to top $218 million.

Among the records Black Panther set were the highest opening box office take for an African-American director, the biggest February domestic opening in history, and the biggest President’s Day weekend opening. The 2018 superhero film also moved into second place on the Marvel opening weekend box office chart, with only The Avengers posting larger opening weekend numbers. Overall, Black Panther now holds fifth place on the biggest domestic opening weekend chart.

Black Panther trounced the weekend’s other new releases – Early Man and Samson – and should hold off all other competition for a couple of weeks. Competition next weekend will come from the sci-fi action film Annihilation, the comedy Game Night, and the romantic drama Every Day.

Disney Channel confirmed the returning cast members will include Dove Cameron as Mal, Cameron Boyce as Carlos, Sofia Carson as Evie, Booboo Stewart as Jay, Mitchell Hope as King Ben, and China Anne McClain as Uma. (New cast members will be announced later.) Director Kenny Ortega (Descendants, the High School Musical films) is back on board as director, executive producer, and choreographer.

The behind the scenes team for Descendants 3 includes writers Sara Parriott and Josann McGibbon (The Starter Wife, Descendants, Descendants 2). Parriott and McGibbon also serve as executive producers. Kara Saun (Descendants, Descendants 2, Project Runway) returns as the costume designer, Mark Hofeling is back as production designer, and Descendants 2‘s Shawn Williamson is a producer.

Filming is expected to get underway in Vancouver this summer, with Disney Channel aiming for a 2019 premiere date.

“By adding a modern twist to Disney’s most treasured heritage properties, the world of Descendants has become an instant classic. We’re thrilled that the creative team that conceived and launched this global phenomenon is back to dive deeper into these characters and the imaginative world from which they come,” stated Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide.

According to Disney, Descendants 2 was watched by more than 71.5 million people. The Disney Channel reports music videos from both Descendants and Descendants 2 have been viewed an astounding 2 billion times, and the soundtrack to Descendants 2 hit the #1 spot on iTunes.

When the pressure to be royal becomes too much for Mal, she returns to her rotten roots on the Isle of the Lost where her archenemy Uma, the daughter of Ursula, has taken her spot as self-proclaimed queen of the run-down town. Uma, still resentful over not being selected by Ben to go to Auradon Prep with the other Villain Kids, stirs her pirate gang including Captain Hook’s son Harry and Gaston’s son Gil, to break the barrier between the Isle of the Lost and Auradon, and unleash all the villains imprisoned on the Isle, once and for all.

The CW’s iZombie is finally returning to the network’s primetime schedule. Season four episode one will air on February 26, 2018, kicking off a season in which Seattle has become a walled-off zombie infested city. The first episode of the new season is titled “Are You Ready for Some Zombies?” and was directed by Dan Etheridge from a script by Rob Thomas.

The cast of season four includes Rose McIver as Olivia “Liv” Moore, Malcolm Goodwin as Clive Babineaux, Rahul Kohli as Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti, Robert Buckley as Major Lilywhite, David Anders as Blaine DeBeers, Aly Michalka as Peyton Charles, and Robert Knepper as Angus McDonough.

The “Are You Ready For Some Zombies?” Plot: YOUR FAVORITE ZOM-COM-ROM-DRAM IS BACK FOR SEASON 4! — While investigating the murder of a Seattle Seahawks superfan, Liv (Rose McIver) has a surprising vision. Meanwhile, Major (Robert Buckley) is assigned the task of mentoring young, homeless zombies, and Ravi (Rahul Kohli) is still carrying a torch for Peyton (Aly Michalka). Lastly, Blaine (David Anders) is dealing with a threat looming from his past.

A Look Back at Season 3: In season three, Liv has discovered there are more zombies living in Seattle than she previously believed. In fact, there’s a private military contractor employing a small zombie army, and that army is preparing for the day humans learn of their existence. Major finds a job and acceptance in this army. Liv and Clive investigate the murder of a zombie family that may just set off an all-out zombie-human war. Ravi’s former boss at the Center for Disease Control shows up in Seattle to investigate the Max Rager massacre. Blaine finds living as a human with no memory of his evil past is more blessing than curse. Peyton pulls at a thread in one of her cases that may lead to the villain that’s pulling all the strings.

But when the manager catches a glimpse of one of them and the loot is far more than they expected, it doesn’t take long for the three best friends to realize the perfect getaway will be harder than they think. From executive producer Jenna Bans comes this comedy-infused drama that mixes a little Thelma & Louise with a bit of Breaking Bad.

Netflix just released the first batch of photos from season two of the comedy series, Santa Clarita Diet. Network also revealed the season two guest stars who’ll be interacting with undead and always hungry realtor Sheila Hammond (played by Drew Barrymore).

In addition to Barrymore, Timothy Olyphant, Liv Hewson, and Skyler Gisondo will be reprising their roles in the much-anticipated second season. Per Netflix, the guest cast of season two includes:

Joel McHale and Maggie Lawson guest star as Chris and Christa, married realtors in Santa Clarita — and a more successful, more aggressive version of Sheila and Joel.
Gerald McRaney guest stars as Ed Thune, a retired army colonel who Joel finds very intimidating.
Zachary Knighton guest stars as Paul, the chill descendent of Serbian ancestors who has been tasked with pursuing the truth of the undead, no matter who or what stands in his way.

Santa Clarita Diet season two will premiere this spring.

The Santa Clarita Diet Season 2 Plot: In Santa Clarita Diet, Joel (Timothy Olyphant) and Sheila (Drew Barrymore) are husband and wife realtors leading vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita with their teenaged daughter Abby (Liv Hewson), until Sheila goes through a dramatic change sending their lives down a road of death and destruction…but in a good way.

Picking up right where we left off, Season 2 of Santa Clarita Diet finds the Hammonds trying to adapt to Sheila’s now-advanced undead state — even though she’s desperately working to hold on to her suburban lifestyle and not be defined as just another monster. Unfortunately — while the family has become markedly better at murder — the number of missing people in Santa Clarita is starting to pile up and it’s no longer going unnoticed.

Meanwhile, the Hammonds are chasing the source of the virus so they can stop it from spreading and save humanity — which seems important. Through it all, Sheila and Joel are grounded by their unconditional love for one another. Sure, being undead — or loving someone who is — isn’t always easy, but don’t all relationships have their challenges?
