Netflix is releasing the second season of the supernatural thriller Hemlock Grove to subscribers on July 11, 2014. All 10 episodes of season two will be available as of 12:01am PT on Friday, July 11th.

Hemlock Grove is based on the book by Brian McGreevy and is executive produced by Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever). Original cast members Famke Janssen, Bill Skarsgard, Landon Liboiron, and Dougray Scott return for the second season, and Joel de la Fuente, Tiio Horn, Madeleine Martin, and Madeline Brewer are joining the cast of the dramatic thriller.

“Season two of Hemlock Grove is a hot mix of passion, intrigue and supernatural thrills that come together in mysterious and riveting ways,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer at Netflix. “The intensity and suspense take things to a whole new level and open doors to a brand new chapter that our members are going to love.”

“I cannot wait for fans to see what’s in store for season two – it is going to blow away all expectations,” said Roth. “Netflix has been an incredible partner, and whenever we wanted to take the story in a dangerous direction, they encouraged us to go even further – into a scarier, darker, and sexier place. We guarantee you won’t see anything like this anywhere else on television.”

The Plot:

Hemlock Grove is a supernatural thriller which explores the strange happenings in a small Pennsylvania town. The show focuses on the unlikely friendship between the founding family’s young heir, Roman Godfrey (Skarsgard), and gypsy newcomer and outsider, Peter Rumancek (Liboiron). Each holds a monstrous secret that has been unleashed.

Season two continues with the town coming to grips with the shocking massacre incurred by one of its deadliest creatures. Roman and Peter are now faced with new responsibilities and the realities that come with adulthood. Roman’s relationship with his mother (Janssen) is all but dead as he struggles with his unwanted Upir birthright and the disappearance of his sister, Shelley (Martin). Peter moves in with Destiny (Horn) and is forced to get a job after his mother is sent away.

Meanwhile, in search of a new life, newcomer Miranda Cates (Madeline Brewer), embarks on Hemlock Grove with an unknowingly profound effect on Peter and Roman. And Norman (Scott), still reeling from the loss of his family, must face the harsh truths that are uncovered about those he still loves.

“I am Hercules!” shouts Dwayne Johnson at the end of this new TV spot for the upcoming action epic Hercules coming to theaters on July 25, 2014. And while the line doesn’t have quite as much impact as, let’s say, “I am Spartacus!” points are scored in its favor since it’s being delivered while attacking a wild boar the size of a full-grown elephant.

Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures describe Hercules as a revisionist take on the classic myth, based on Radical Comics’ Hercules by Steve Moore. In addition to Johnson, the Hercules cast includes Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes, Peter Mullan, and John Hurt.

‘The Fault in Our Stars’ Offers Up a New Clip: “It’s a Metaphor”

The Fault in Our Stars stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort were on hand at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards to show off a brand new clip from the much-anticipated film adaptation of the bestselling book. The new clip – titled “It’s a Metaphor” – finds Gus (Elgort) sticking an unlit cigarette between his lips. This completely disgusts Hazel (Woodley) who met the handsome teen during a support group meeting for teens with cancer.

Fortunately, Gus has an interesting explanation for his action. “They don’t actually hurt you unless you light them. You put the thing that does the killing right between your teeth, but you never give it the power to kill you,” explains Gus.

The Plot: Hazel and Gus are two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them — and us – on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. The Fault in Our Stars, based upon the number-one bestselling novel by John Green, explores the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love.

Paul Walker stars in the action drama Brick Mansions from director Camille Delamarre. Luc Besson wrote the screenplay, based on his screenplay for Banlieue 13 co-written with Bibi Naceri.

The cast also includes David Belle, RZA, Gouchy Boy, Catalina Denis, and Carlo Rota.

The PG-13 drama will be release on April 25, 2014.

Official Synopsis: In a dystopian Detroit, abandoned brick mansions left from better times now house only the most dangerous criminals. Unable to control the crime, the police constructed a colossal containment wall around this area to protect the rest of the city. Undercover cop Damien Collier (Paul Walker) is determined to bring his father’s killer, Tremaine (RZA) to justice and every day is a battle against corruption.

For Lino (David Belle), every day is a fight to live an honest life. Their paths never should have crossed, but when Tremaine kidnaps Lino’s girlfriend, Damien reluctantly accepts the help of the fearless ex-convict, and together they must stop a sinister plot to devastate the entire city. With stylized action featuring thrilling Parkour stunts (David Belle is the co-founder of this physical training discipline), Brick Mansions puts an entertaining twist on the action genre.
