Jack Osbourne turns his lifelong fascination with aliens into a two-hour special on discovery+. Jack Osbourne’s Night of Terror: UFOs will find the paranormal enthusiast turning his attention to the skies and visiting the UFO hotspot, Uinta Basin.
Jack Osbourne will be joined by his buddies Jason Mewes (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) and Jamie Kennedy (Scream) for the UFO special airing on Saturday, September 3, 2022 on discovery+.
“I’ve been obsessed with the concept of whether or not we’re alone since I was a kid staring up at the stars,” said Osbourne. “The Uinta Basin has fascinated me for years – it’s a mecca for alien and supernatural activity. People are drawn here for specific things but when you come here looking for it, you often find something you’re not looking for. I’ve never been to any place like this. It’s its own realm.”

Discovery+ released the following description of Jack Osbourne’s Night of Terror: UFOs:
“Home to the infamous paranormal hotspot Skinwalker Ranch, the Uinta Basin is a highly active supernatural site. Reports of UFO sightings and alien abductions have long defined this area. In recent years, strange creatures and shapeshifters have appeared to residents, unexplainable lights fly across the skies, and rumors of government tests and installations are widely circulated. Gathering intel from witnesses and experts, including UFO expert Ben Hansen, Osbourne, Mewes, and Kennedy embark on an unflinching investigation to figure out if these phenomena are connected and why the strange activity is so concentrated in this area.
Armed with state-of-the-art technology and specialty equipment, the trio venture on a multi-part investigation throughout the rugged and isolated landscape. Witnessing unexplained aerial phenomena in the skies, mysterious lights and perplexing shadow figures, they’re convinced the area is a supernatural melting pot. But when Osbourne captures a particularly unusual creature on camera, it leaves them with more confounding questions deepening the mystery of a realm beyond.”

Being the co-creator of the critically acclaimed, incredibly popular Phineas and Ferb helped Dan Povenmire when it came to casting Hamster & Gretel. Disney Channel’s new music-filled animated series set to premiere on August 12, 2022 features actors and songwriters who’ve grown up with Phineas and Ferb or have kids who watched the series. But for the lead character of Gretel, all Dan had to do was turn to his daughter, Meli, who turned out to be perfect for the role.
The father-and-daughter team paired up for interviews at the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con where Disney Channel hosted the first-ever panel for Hansel & Gretel. Here’s what they had to say about the plot, superpowers, and whether we will ever see a Phineas and Ferb crossover episode.
You started out as a scratch temporary voice and your dad put you through the paces a little bit to get the role. What was it like when you finally got it?
Meli Povenmire: “I knew it was going to happen, honestly.”
Dan Povenmire: “Did you? You didn’t tell me you knew.”
Meli Povenmire: “You didn’t tell me a single time that like, ‘Oh, you might not get it.’ He was like, ‘I think you’re going to get it because I feel like you’re one of the best. You just tested really well.’
I was always pretty confident in my skills. (Laughing) I sound so full of myself. But I’ve done temp lines before – I’ve done auditions – but this was like the first time where it was just like a transition from doing the temps straight into doing the actual voice, and it was so exciting. It didn’t really hit me until a few months into recording that I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m actually this person. I actually have this job.’ But it was super exciting.”
Can you take us through the origin of the story?
Dan Povenmire: “Well, the origin is like everything – it’s sort of from a drawing I did of a super hamster. And then I love this guy, but I don’t know what to do with it. And then I sort of started basing it on my relationship with my youngest sister. There’s three of us – there was me and my younger sister and then 10 years and another sister. And by the time I was 16, I had this six-year-old sister who I became her chauffeur and was taking her around and stuff. Then it was like, ‘What can I do? What if we make that part of the dynamic?’
It became, okay, what if the little sister gets superpowers too? What if from the older brother’s point of view, he was supposed to get the superpowers because they were given to them by an alien who comes and says, ‘We will bestow upon you powers unimaginable,’ and then shoots him with this beam but she happened to have her pet hamster in the car and the powers go to her and her pet hamster. What would that do to their dynamic?
You know, the older brother is always protective of the little sister and now she can lift a bus over her head. What kind of protection does she need? So, that became sort of the basis of the whole show is that sort of dynamic. Like, ‘Oh, your little sister can now kick your butt and everybody else’s.’ Where do you find your place in that – and her pet? So that was sort of the jumping-off point.”
Superhero origin stories always involve the superhero finding their powers, learning them, and then making mistakes along the way. How much of that are we going to see this season?
Dan Povenmire: “Well, we do because Gretel is all kid. She’s all impulse and doesn’t think things through. […] She just wants to do the easiest, fastest thing that a kid would want to do and he’s trying to get her to be responsible.
But she doesn’t really end up learning much because she does things her way. It always eventually works out so that’s a little bit of a frustration for him. He’s trying to tell her the responsible way to do things and then she does it the wrong way and it usually works out. Sometimes he has to come in and help and solve problems for her, but it always ends up okay. So, she sort of comes out the same person all the time, which is fun.”
Can you talk about some of the evil villains we’ll see and some of the crazy superpowers?
Dan Povenmire: “Who’s your favorite?”
Meli Povenmire: “My favorite – there’s a cat-themed villain. What’s his name?”
Dan Povenmire: “Copycat.”
Meli Povenmire: “Copycat. And he has this gun that shoots hairballs but how he reloads it… I was watching a video of it when I was doing the ADR and he’s shooting but then it starts making this cat coughing sound. He was like, ‘Oh, it’s empty,’ and he opens it, pulls out a naked cat, puts it to the side, and puts in this hairy cat and starts shooting it again. That’s probably my favorite.”
Dan Povenmire: “I like all of them. We have a guy whose name is Big Baby and he’s just an infant and it turns out he was a politician who kept losing to younger, taller candidates so he decided to make himself young and tall. He made himself too young and too tall, and now he’s running amuck in the city. He’s like a 40 foot…imagine if King Kong was infant human in an enormous diaper.”
You’ve confirmed this is set in the same universe as Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy’s Law. What are your ultimate plans for crossovers?
Dan Povenmire: “Well, we don’t have concrete plans to do that other than we drop hints that they are in the same place. We don’t have that story figured out because we have a big sweeping story that goes through the second season – knock on wood. But we always sort of have that in the back of our minds, like, how are we going to put these guys together at some point? I think it would be really fun and I always love revisiting those worlds.
I would love to do one where Phineas and Ferb and Milo and the Hamster and Gretel crew are all together in some crazy adventure.”

Music has always been important to you in all your shows. What are some of the highlights musically in Hamster & Gretel?
Dan Povenmire: “They are releasing an album the same day as the first episode, so we had to go through and find songs that didn’t give away plot points and still sort worked on their own as songs. And we put it together and I just listened to it a couple of days ago all the way through and I was like, ‘Oh, I think I like these songs better than the Phineas songs.’ And I think we set the bar pretty high then.
I think it’s a function of a couple of things. I think I’ve gotten a little bit better as a songwriter but also, I started – because I didn’t have Swampy and I didn’t have Martin, who are like my constant collaborators on songs – reaching out to people that I knew from college or people that I’ve found on TikTok, like songwriters.”
Meli Povenmire: “That’s right – Sophia James.”
Dan Povenmire: “Sophia James has come in and written a couple of songs with me. She’s spectacular.”
Meli Povenmire: “She helped with my favorite song.”
Dan Povenmire: “There’s a song called ‘Strawberry Festival’ that’s about the strawberry festival that the boys in the family think it’s going to be this sweet little environment, but it’s actually this high-octane thing.”
Meli Povenmire: “About some stuntman whose last name is Strawberry.”
Dan Povenmire: “I found a bunch of people on TikTok that are great songwriters. And if I hear them do it over and over again, I know they’ve got the goods. It’s not a shock in the dark. I’ll reach out to them if we are mutuals and say, “Hey, would you want to write a song for a Disney show?’ They are usually like, ‘Yes, let’s do that.’
So, I did some of those on Zoom, and now that the pandemic’s sort of coming to a close, I’ve had some of them over to the house. Although I don’t know if Michael (Cimino) told you but when Michael came over to write that song, I had COVID and I didn’t know that at all. The next day I woke up really sick and I was like, ‘Oh no! I’m going to have to call Michael.’ I called him and he’s like, ‘Okay, I’ll check. I’ll make sure,’ and he did not get it. We were in the same little room writing a song for an hour and a half and he somehow did not get COVID from me.
When we were writing, we were talking about the fact that both of us had been exposed accidentally like four different times and not gotten it, which is true. My wife even had it and I didn’t get it from her, and I was sleeping in the same bed. So, I was sort of feeling, ‘Oh I won’t get it,’ so I went to a concert the weekend before and I had picked it up at that concert.”
How do you describe Gretel? Can you relate to her?
Meli Povenmire: “She is very high energy, and I am very high energy. I’m trying to tone it down while I’m doing all these interviews. When I was younger, I talked a lot faster than I do now because now if I talk too fast, I stumble a lot. She’s very hyper, just like me. She reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger.”

The Veil is produced by FX Productions and will air on Hulu.
“We’re excited to continue our partnership with Steven Knight on The Veil and thrilled to have Elisabeth Moss sign on for the lead role,” said Nick Grad, President, Original Programming FX. “Steven’s scripts are riveting and no doubt will showcase Elisabeth’s exceptional talent.”
Elisabeth Moss has won Emmys, SAG, PGA, and Critics Choice awards, and her credits include The Handmaid’s Tale, Mad Men, Shining Girls, The Invisible Man, and Shirley. She recently completed work on Next Goal Wins written and directed by Taika Waititi and starring Michael Fassbender.
The CW’s Roswell, New Mexico season four episode eight picks up with Clyde, now in possession of Dallas’ special glasses and his family’s Bible, assembling almost everything he’ll need to return home. Clyde has the map, fruit from the alien tree, and the ability to decode the Bible. But apparently, there’s one ingredient still missing.
He sets the abandoned church – and the barn with the tree in it – on fire, covering his tracks.
Meanwhile, Maria (Heather Hemmens) is trying her best to communicate with Alex – now that she knows it’s not her recently deceased mom who’s been sending the spooky messages. Liz (Jeanine Mason) joins her and is sure there’s a reason – other than Alex being dead – that Alex can send these messages. Liz is certain Alex is trapped somewhere and knew to reach out to Maria for help.
Fortunately, the cavalry has arrived…or at least Rosa (Amber Midthunder) has shown up to help her big sister figure out how to science the heck out of this puzzle. It turns out Rosa’s been practicing her echolocation skills, and that might come in handy in tracking down the missing-way-too-long Alex.
Isobel (Lily Cowles) and Michael (Michael Vlamis) check out the charred remains of the church and she reveals she had a memory of fighting Tezca, who was once her teacher, as a child. Michael points out that nothing good ever comes from poking around their childhood memories, but Isobel thinks this time’s different. She may be able to locate Dallas who, you’ll recall, was sucked into the quicksand by Clyde last episode.
Liz and Max (Nathan Dean) have their first heart-to-heart of the episode. He thought she left town because she was running away from him, but Liz explains she just needed to clear her head. They hug and Liz credits Rosa with helping her get in touch with her authentic self and now she and Shivani think they may have figured out how to disable Bonnie’s virus. (You know, the one that caused Max and Michael to lose their powers.)
They catch each other up on the fact Bonnie, Dallas, and Alex are all missing, and Liz thinks it’s best not to let Michael know Alex has been sending weird messages to Maria. Their friendly chat turns into an argument when Max insists he’s helpful without his alien powers. Liz thinks he’s being selfish, but Max is adamant that he doesn’t want his powers back.
Next, Max meets up with Michael in the middle of nowhere. Michael thinks someone spotted Dallas’ car and that’s the only clue they have right now to his location. Michael notices his brother’s a little off and teases, “Oh, you’re in your feels because we’re Muggles now.”
And speaking of those powers, Max tells his bro that Liz is working on a cure for Bonnie’s virus. They spot Dallas’ car and realize Clyde must have grabbed him.
Over at the lab, Liz is frustrated her research isn’t paying off with a cure. She’s about to give up when Shivani lets her in on a secret after swearing her to secrecy. Shivani reveals she has a pod and that’s where she’s been getting samples of alien fluid. There’s a crack in the pod and Liz determines oxygen is changing the fluid’s composition. They need a pod that’s in perfect shape.
Liz lets Shivani in on her own huge secret and takes her to where the #PodSquad’s pods are kept in the cave. Liz begins work on extracting fluid and Shivani quickly realizes Max is an alien. Liz doesn’t reply but Shivani knows she’s right.
Back at the lab, Liz gets back to work and it seems she’s on the right track. Shivani’s impressed and wonders if the cure could be used to fight human illnesses.
Isobel confronts Tezca and demands to know what Clyde did with Dallas. Isobel describes her memories of training with her as a child and Tezca denies it ever happened. But when Isobel quotes her, Tezca suddenly has her own vision of teaching Isobel. Tezca appears genuinely shocked they have a shared history.
Rosa and Maria team up to try and track Alex, but a strand of his hair is the only thing throwing off his frequency. However, Rosa has a theory: she thinks Maria’s hearing Alex because it’s a new power emerging after Liz blocked her visions. Rosa suggests Maria get in the right headspace and concentrate using Isobel’s technique of finding a space inside herself to feel completely calm.
Maria gets her inner peace when connecting with her mom, and the only way to do that is by walking barefoot in the desert. So, off they go for a hike in the desert with Rosa urging Maria to tap into the earth. A locust lands on Maria and she connects it to Alex since he was looking for them before he went missing.
Unfortunately, Rosa and Maria are so caught up in what they’re doing that they have no idea Michael’s right behind them. Michael’s shocked to learn Alex is missing.
The trio head back to the Wild Pony and Maria spills the beans, explaining not even Deep Sky has heard from Alex. Michael’s pissed everyone kept this a secret and gets upset when Rosa explains they think Michael’s reaching out to Maria because she’s the only one listening to him.
Isobel confronts Tezca and demands to know what Clyde did with Dallas. Isobel describes her memories of training with her as a child and Tezca denies it ever happened. But when Isobel quotes her, Tezca suddenly has her own vision of teaching Isobel. Tezca appears genuinely shocked they have a shared history.
No one thought to warn Max and he’s taken by surprise when Michael arrives at the station and punches him in the face. Max gets him in a headlock and when he lets Michael up, Michael demands to know why they didn’t tell him Alex is missing. Max confesses he kept it a secret because it’s what Liz wanted. “So, to win back the girl you stabbed me in the back,” says Michael, correctly assessing the situation.
Michael storms off, pissed Max is using his suffering to fix his love life. “Hope the wedding’s worth losing a brother,” snarls Michael.
Isobel volunteers to unlock Tezca’s subconscious and takes off her handcuffs. They slip into Tezca’s mindscape and see Tezca assuring Isobel her mom’s off protecting everyone. Tezca tells her student, “No matter where in the universe you are, my blade will find you,” which matches up with Isobel’s memories.
Tezca believed Isobel would be a great warrior, but her strength would be in her compassion. She wanted Isobel to be able to protect herself.
Isobel and Tezca emerge from the mindscape and Tezca’s still in fight mode. However, Isobel talks her into returning to the mindscape to finish the story. In the mindscape, they hear screams and watch as Tezca tells Isobel to hide and not come out, no matter what. Tezca swears she’ll always find her.
Jones arrives and he and Tezca fight over Isobel. Jones gets the best of Tezca, but she refuses to beg. “I hate you with the fire of our two suns,” she snarls. Jones accepts that as a challenge to bend her will to his. He’s going to make her hate her students and only love him.
Back to current events, Isobel reminds Tezca they’re on the same side. She asks what Clyde’s looking for and Tezca, reluctantly, replies, “Jones said once you’ve gathered all the pieces, Liz Ortecho will bring the alighting.”
Liz heads to Michael’s secret lair and her reception’s…shall we say…icy. She attempts to make it up to Michael by administering the cure (which is in vapor form) while apologizing for keeping Alex’s disappearance from him. Michael understands and takes some of the blame on himself, claiming he lost sight of Alex while hanging with his new alien besties. He also suggests Max needs to make his own decision about his powers or else it will tear them apart.
They hug as Michael tries out his powers and they work!
Liz and Max sit for their second heart-to-heart and Max admits he should have pushed back harder on telling Michael about Alex. He confesses he no longer knows exactly what to do, and he’s unsure if denying his powers is the right decision. Is he just turning his back on his family?
Liz suggests life is going to keep punching until he figures out who he is and swings back. She swears she’ll always be on his side – no matter what he decides to do.
It’s Michael’s turn to do some apologizing and he joins Maria and Rosa at the bar. They’re happy he has his powers back (although he’s not completely recovered), and Maria promises they’re going to get Alex back. Michael now believes Maria is the key to finding Alex.
Maria slips off her shoes and begins concentrating. A song Alex wrote about Michael begins playing on the piano. Michael picks up his guitar and the piano plays without anyone seated at it. His pendant begins glowing and lights flicker. The trio figure out Alex is leading them to his location with the lights!
The lights outside the Wild Pony flicker and Michael grabs a New Mexico map out of his truck. He places his pendant on it and it moves to point out Grant’s Pass.
Meanwhile, Liz returns to her lab and sees a new equation written on the board. Shivani explains what she wrote and then admits she inhaled the cure. Liz grabs her to take her to the hospital, but Shivani claims she’s fine. Her mind’s been opened up and she shows Liz her final secret – her daughter, who suffered from a rare disease, suspended in a cryogenic state. Liz is stunned she’s dead, but Shivani thinks she doesn’t have to be. That’s why she’s been researching solutions off of Earth. And now that she knows Rosa is back from the dead, maybe Max’s alien DNA is what it will take to bring back her daughter.
Liz insists Rosa was a special case and also insists the vapor won’t regenerate human cells; it’s meant to cure aliens. Shivani thinks they can use it to figure out something that will. She also suggests Liz inhale some of it to boost her own brainpower!
Maria, Michael, and Rosa make it to Grant’s Pass and discover Dallas’ dad’s glasses case. Rosa’s confused and wonders if Alex is with Dallas. Things have escalated now, and she thinks they need to assemble the #PodSquad. Michael reminds her Max is basically useless at this moment.
Maria wanders away and gets stuck in the quicksand. Michael’s powers aren’t strong enough to pull her out but fortunately, Max arrives and tosses her a rope. Between them pulling and Michael using his weakened powers, Maria’s saved.
Maria’s the only one who sees the sand shimmering and believes there’s a world under the quicksand. She can see Alex’s pendant and can feel that he’s alive down there.
Michael grabs Max’s rope and wants to hop down there but Max thinks Michael’s behaving like an idiot. He needs to think this through first. “Be the thing that pulls Alex back,” says Max as he pulls a crying Michael in for a hug.
Max followed the notes in Dallas’ Bible to find them and Michael apologizes for kicking his brother’s butt back at the station. Max promises to have his brother’s back and to help him save the love of his life.
Maria doesn’t know why she’s the only one who can see the other world and Rosa points out it probably has to do with her powers.
Clyde arrives at the Crashdown Café and learns from Liz’s student that she doesn’t work there anymore.
Liz confronts Shivani and tells her bringing back her sister came at a huge cost. She doesn’t want to play god and Shivani demands she stop denying her true nature. Liz attempts to get Shivani to give up on trying to bring back her daughter, warning her she’ll lose herself in the process. “Do not become a casualty to your grief,” says Liz.
Shivani refuses to turn over the canister and instead drops it. It shatters and the mist fills the room. Liz has no choice but to breathe in the alien cure. She collapses, unconscious.
Everything I Know About Love, based on the bestseller by Dolly Alderton, arrives on Peacock on August 25, 2022 following its successful season one run on BBC One. The seven-episode dramedy was created by author Alderton who adapted her memoir for the series and serves as an executive producer.
Everything I Know About Love follows four friends attempting to make it through their 20s while dealing with love and heartbreak. The cast is led by Emma Appleton as Maggie and Bel Powley as Birdy, with Marli Siu playing Nell and Aliyah Odoffin starring as Amara. Season one also features Connor Finch as Street, Ryan Bown as Nathan, Jordan Peters as Neil, and Jill Halfpenny as Roisin.
Author Dolly Alderton believes the appeal of the series is its relatable subject matter, even though the show is set in London in 2012.
“It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, everyone knows or remembers what it is like to have your heart broken. Everyone knows what it is to lose someone really close to you who you thought you were going to spend your life with,” stated Alderton. “Everyone knows what it is to try and work out what kind of adult you want to be and feel kind of lost in the adult world. I also think it provides a nice story; we always knew it was going to take place in 2012 and wanted to tell it like a period piece, for want of a better word. We wanted an episode about the Olympics in London. We wanted an episode about the Diamond Jubilee. We wanted an episode about the launch of dating apps.”
Surian Fletcher-Jones, Eric Fellner, Working Title Television, and BBC’s Jo McClellan executive produce, with Simon Maloney producing. China Moo-Young directed episodes one, two, three, and four. Julia Ford directed episodes five, six, and seven.
Season one was shot in Manchester, London, and New York, and premiered on BBC One on June 7, 2022. The first season has earned a 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Plot: The central love story of Everything I Know About Love is between childhood best friends Maggie and Birdy. But it is also a raucous girl gang show, set in a 2012 London house-share inhabited by four girls – Maggie, Birdy and their mates from university, Amara and Nell. The series is an unflinching deep dive into bad dates, heartaches and humiliations and begs the question: can platonic love survive romantic love as we grow up?
