There’s lots of backstabbing going on amid the action in the full official trailer for Netflix’s Outer Banks season two. The two-minute trailer teases but doesn’t spoil the upcoming season which promises higher stakes and more action.
Season two stars Chase Stokes (John B.), Madelyn Cline (Sarah Cameron), Madison Bailey (Kiara), Jonathan Daviss (Pope), Rudy Pankow (J.J.), Austin North (Topper), and Drew Starkey (Rafe Cameron). The cast also includes Charles Esten (Ward Cameron), Elizabeth Mitchell (Limbrey), Caroline Arapoglou (Rose), Carlacia Grant (Cleo), Julia Antonelli (Wheezie Cameron), Deion Smith (Kelce), Cullen Moss (Deputy Shoupe), and Nicholas Cirillo (Barry).
Netflix will release season two on July 30, 2021.
“Season 2 is going to test our crew like never before. We’ve turned up the dial on everything fans loved about season one – more mystery, more romance and higher stakes. It’s a full-throttle, action-packed adventure and these photos offer a glimpse into the next chapter for our Pogues. All we can say for now is buckle up, it’s going to be a wild ride,” said executive producers/series creators Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke.
The Plot, Courtesy of Netflix:
Outer Banks is a coming-of-age story that follows a tight-knit group of local teens (the “Pogues”) in the beach vacation destination of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After their near-death escape, Season Two finds John B & Sarah on the run – and in over their heads – in the Bahamas. New friends also bring new foes as they’re back on the trail of the gold, while the stakes for Kiara, Pope, and JJ rapidly escalate at home.
The $400M is still in the game, but will the uncovering of a newfound secret reunite the group for a fresh mission? The adventure of a lifetime awaits, but uncharted waters ahead mean our Pogues must do all they can to make it out alive.

Pixar’s 2022 animated comedy Turning Red seems geared to make red pandas (an endangered species) super popular. The new trailer for the upcoming family-friendly film introduces Mei Lee, a young girl with an overprotective mom and a habit of transforming into a red panda when she’s stressed out. Why a red panda? I have no idea.
The voice cast includes newcomer Rosalie Chiang as the shapeshifting 13-year old and Screen Actors Guild Awards winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve, Grey’s Anatomy, Sideways) provides the voice of her mom. Turning Red is helmed by first-time feature film director Domee Shi. Shi earned a Best Animated Short Film Academy Award for her 2018 short, Bao.
Disney and Pixar are targeting a March 11, 2022 release.
The Plot, Courtesy of Pixar:
Growing up is a beast.
Young actress Rosalie Chiang lends her voice to Mei Lee, a 13-year-old who suddenly “poofs” into a giant red panda when she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS). Sandra Oh voices Mei Lee’s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager.
Disney+ and Lucasfilm announced a special episode of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian will focus on the appearance of Luke Skywalker in the season two finale. The special episode will delve into the process of introducing a young Luke Skywalker, played by the one and only Mark Hamill, into the series in a key scene.
The “Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian – Making of the Season 2 Finale” will premiere on Disney+ on August 25, 2021.
The news of a Luke Skywalker-centric episode arrives hours after The Mandalorian received 24 Emmy Awards nominations. The sci-fi series tied with The Crown for the most nominations, picking up nominations in categories including Best Drama Series and Supporting Actor in a Drama (Giancarlo Esposito).
Disney+ issued the following description of the “Making of the Season 2 Finale” special episode:
“In last year’s Season 2 finale of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, the appearance of a young Luke Skywalker was one of the biggest reveals and best-kept secrets of the acclaimed show thus far. Reaction to the episode was emotionally charged for many, deeply resonating with generations of fans who were elated to see the Jedi Master in his post-Return of the Jedi prime. The story of the cutting-edge technology used to bring Luke back is the subject of a special extra episode of Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian, debuting August 25 on Disney+.
‘Making of the Season 2 Finale’ is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this celebrated ‘chapter’ of The Mandalorian, with a focus on the technology used for recreating Luke Skywalker. It delves into the collaborative process, including working with Mark Hamill, to create an authentic and fitting recreation, and explores the immense pressure and responsibility the filmmakers had in bringing back one of the most important characters in film history.”
The official trailer for Focus Features’ timely drama Blue Bayou is gutwrenching and powerful. The trailer reveals writer/director Justin Chon (Gook, Ms. Purple) starring as a father who’s ripped away from his family – and the only country he’s ever known – by ICE.
In addition to Justin Chon, the cast includes Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl), Mark O’Brien (City on a Hill), Linh Dan Pham (Ninja Assassin), and Emory Cohen (The OA). Chon serves as a producer along with Charles D. King, Kim Roth, and Poppy Hanks.
Chon’s film earned a Un Certain Regard Award nomination at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival which hosted the film’s world premiere. Focus Features has set a September 17, 2021 theatrical release.
The Plot, Courtesy of Focus Features:
Blue Bayou is the moving and timely story of a uniquely American family fighting for their future. Antonio LeBlanc (Chon), a Korean adoptee raised in a small town in the Louisiana bayou, is married to the love of his life Kathy (Vikander) and step-dad to their beloved daughter Jessie. Struggling to make a better life for his family, he must confront the ghosts of his past when he discovers that he could be deported from the only country he has ever called home.

Wanting to stay in the running for an upcoming dance competition, JoJo and her best friends, The Rubies (Jones, Romero), must try their hardest to abide by Poppy’s new, harsh rules. Realizing she cannot hide her sparkle or bow anymore, JoJo is kicked out of her dance troupe and must rediscover what dancing means to her.
Netflix just debuted the powerful official trailer for Pray Away, a new documentary that delves into the damage done by conversion therapy, with former conversion therapy leaders providing insight into the process. The documentary debuted at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival and currently sits at 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Hollywood Reporter calls the documentary “a sobering account of Christian intervention rooted in toxic homophobia” and Alliance of Women Film Journalists’ Sarah Ward says it’s “a poised, meticulous, wide-ranging but never flashy film.”
Netflix has set an August 3, 2021 premiere date.
Kristine Stolakis directs and produces, with Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum executive producing.
Pray Away Synopsis, Courtesy of Netflix:
In the 1970s, five men struggling with being gay in their Evangelical church started a Bible study to help each other leave the “homosexual lifestyle.” They quickly received over 25,000 letters from people asking for help and formalized as Exodus International, the largest and most controversial conversion therapy organization in the world. But leaders struggled with a secret: their own “same-sex attractions” never went away.
After years as Christian superstars in the religious right, many of these men and women have come out as LGBTQ, disavowing the very movement they helped start. Focusing on the dramatic journeys of former conversion therapy leaders, current members, and a survivor, Pray Away chronicles the “ex gay” movement’s rise to power, persistent influence, and the profound harm it causes.
