Colin Kaepernick starred in a 2018 Nike ad campaign
Oscar nominee and Emmy Award winner Ava DuVernay is working with Colin Kaepernick on Colin in Black & White, a limited series set up at Netflix. Colin in Black & White will focus on Kaepernick’s high school years and will feature the activist athlete as the narrator. Kaepernick will also be involved as an executive producer along with DuVernay.
Emmy Award nominee Michael Starrbury is writing the limited series and will also executive produce. Starrbury and DuVernay recently worked on the critically acclaimed, award-winning Netflix series When They See Us. That limited series earned 16 Emmy nominations and was honored with a Peabody Award.
“With his act of protest, Colin Kaepernick ignited a national conversation about race and justice with far-reaching consequences for football, culture and for him, personally,” stated DuVernay. “Colin’s story has much to say about identity, sports and the enduring spirit of protest and resilience. I couldn’t be happier than to tell this story with the team at Netflix.”
“Too often we see race and Black stories portrayed through a white lens,” said Kaepernick. “We seek to give new perspective to the differing realities that Black people face. We explore the racial conflicts I faced as an adopted Black man in a white community, during my high school years. It’s an honor to bring these stories to life in collaboration with Ava for the world to see.”
Colin in Black & White will consist of six episodes. Netflix has not yet confirmed a premiere date.
“We’re proud to bring Colin’s experience and his creative vision to life as he joins Ava to share his powerful story and message with all our members around the world,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President, Original Content for Netflix. “It is an unparalleled union of two strong and defining voices coming together to tell the story about what it’s like to be Black in America.”
The Series Description, Courtesy of Netflix:
The adolescent life of all-star athlete and activist Colin Kaepernick will come to television screens around the world in Colin in Black & White. The series will focus on Kaepernick’s formative high school years, lending meaningful insight into the acts and experiences that led him to become the activist he is today.
The six-episode series, which was conceived in 2019 and recently completed writing in May, provides an introspective look at Kaepernick’s early life as a Black child growing up with a white adopted family and his journey to become a great quarterback while defining his identity.

Kevin Costner in ‘Yellowstone’ season 3 episode 2 (Photo Credit: Paramount Network)
It’s another gorgeous morning at the ranch as Paramount Network’s Yellowstone season three episode two begins. Tate’s spent the night at the camp with his grandfather and for the first time since his kidnapping, he had a full, peaceful night of sleep.
Tate (Brecken Merrill) and John (Kevin Costner) engage in small talk as they head off to fish. Tate wonders why they can’t always live out in the open under the stars, and John admits he often wonders that too.
Beth (Kelly Reilly) wakes up in Rip’s bed and makes her way to the kitchen. Rip (Cole Hauser) is already up and he’s cooking up fried bread, something Beth reveals she’s never eaten. Rip explains the best way to eat it as Beth looks on, sipping coffee. It’s a hearty meal and Beth seems uncharacteristically mellow as she takes a seat at the table.
Rip admits he ate hours ago and wants to just enjoy watching her eat. Beth tries to hide her face behind her hand and he lovingly pulls her hand away. He then strokes her bruised cheek as she smiles and eats.
Monica (Kelsey Asbille) has also slept in and the house is quiet as she dresses for the day ahead. She’s apparently the only person in the big house and she glances around, taking in the place before heading out to the barn. She asks if she can accompany Rip and Jake (Jake Ream) to the camp to see her kid, but Jake’s leery since there aren’t any good horses left. (They’re all already up at camp.)
Rip makes Jake volunteer his own horse, and Jake’s not happy about having to take one of the “monsters” that was left behind. It’s quickly apparent Jake was correct about the “monsters” label – the one he chooses bucks him all over the place as they ride to camp.
Monica asks why Jake chose that particular horse and Rip replies, “You know what, Monica? He ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed.”
Up at the camp, John and Tate have returned from fishing and Tate’s preparing the fish they caught. As Tate cooks, John becomes increasingly frustrated about his phone’s constant ringing. He agrees when Tate says work follows him everywhere.
John orders his men to move the entire camp up onto the ridge above their current setup. His mood’s soured because of his phone. It improves as the new camp’s put in place and his phone shows there’s no cell service available. John can finally stash it away and relax. He even chuckles a bit as he sits next to Tate.
Jamie (Wes Bentley), the newly named Livestock Commissioner, arrives at work and immediately receives a call from Sweetgrass County Attorney Randy Harper. Randy (K.C. Clyde) fills Jamie in on two female barrel racers who were jumped and had their rigs, horses, and supplies stolen. Because horses are involved, Randy thinks Jamie should be included in the investigation. Jamie agrees to send Randy an agent to help out, and Randy asks if Jamie understands they need to handle this in a way that sends a message.
Meanwhile, Monica arrives at camp and Tate’s happy to see his mom. He reports all they do is fish and eat, fish and eat. Monica learns Kayce’s out looking for wolves and John points out which direction to find him.
Rip finally has a quiet moment alone with John to thank him. When John says he deserves the house, Rip explains it’s actually the letter that he’s most thankful for. He confesses no one has ever given him anything like it before and he’s grateful for John embracing him as a member of the family.
Rip asks to hire another wrangler, explaining the last girl he hired has done what drifters do – she’s drifted on to the next ranch. John says it’s his decision when and who to hire, and Rip seems confused. He asks if Kayce understands that and John informs him it was Kayce’s idea.
Before Rip takes off, John suggests that if he does decide to hire another female, she needs to be mean or ugly. “Last thing I need is a lovestruck cowboy climbing in the wrong bunk,” says John.

Kayce (Luke Grimes) walks through the woods, rifle in hand. Monica finds him and teases she’s been feeling kind of lonely. They quickly shed a layer of outer clothing and make out. That rapidly evolves into Kayce minus his shirt as they sink into the leaves.
Before they get too hot and heavy, Monica spots a wolf hovering not far away. The wolf stares at them but doesn’t move. Kayce decides the best option is to let him watch if he wants to. The wolf settles down and relaxes as Kayce and Monica enjoy themselves.
Night falls at camp and Monica and Kayce are incredibly happy to see Tate fall sound asleep. Monica didn’t believe he would ever be able to sleep without nightmares. She wishes they could live like this every day, and Kayce promises he’ll find a way to make this their new norm.
Monica was right. The stars helped Tate find his way back to peace and happiness.
Kayce’s awakened by the sounds of restless cows. He leaves the tent and spots the wolf nearby. It doesn’t move as he takes aim. Before he pulls the trigger, he wonders if the wolf has lost his pack and is looking for friends. Kayce lowers his rifle and explains to the wolf there’s nothing for him at this camp. “I’ll give you the forest but the valley’s mine,” says Kayce as the wolf remains frozen in place, returning Kayce’s stare.
After Kayce warns the wolf not to attempt to take the cattle, the wolf runs back into the woods.
It’s only then that Kayce turns around and notices his dad has been standing behind him during this conversation with the wolf. John reveals his dad could talk to animals and make them listen too. When Kayce admits he’s not sure the wolf was listening, John assures him it was.
Over at Schwartz & Meyer, Beth has a teleconference with Bob Schwartz (Michael Nouri) to discuss the purchases made by Market Equities. Bob wishes they’d bought Dan Jenkins’ property and Beth’s shocked they even knew it was for sale. When Bob asks who Market Equities’ main competition is, Beth suggests MGM or Marriott. Those companies have ski resorts while Market Equities doesn’t, but Beth doesn’t believe that’s what Market Equities is after since the property is too remote and doesn’t have a large airport nearby.
As she’s talking, Beth works through the possible uses of Jenkins’ property. They could be building an airport but there’s no ski resort. She’s onto something and asks Bob to call his friend at the Department of the Interior and ask if Market Equities has been granted a lease. Beth thinks they’re going to build an airport, then a ski resort, and then ultimately they’ll build a city around both.
Bob urges Beth to buy everything surrounding Market Equities’ purchases. She’s still confused as to how Market Equities learned about this area in the first place and asks who manages their hedge funds. Bob’s assistant provides her with info on the manager who handles the real estate funds and it turns out his name is Roarke. Beth doesn’t immediately connect the name to the man she accused of trespassing while fishing. It’s not until she googles him and his photo comes up next to his name – Roarke Morris – that she puts two and two together.
The search results describe him as an international real estate investor. Beth’s pissed she’s going to have to deal with him again and heads over to his family’s Cross Creek Ranch.
Beth finds him outside and her first words are “Market Equities.” He responds, “Schwartz & Meyer, Bob Schwartz’s girl.” Beth quickly sets him straight that she’s nobody’s girl. After he makes a joke and she calls him a cheese dick, she asks about the Sporting Club. Roarke admits he’s going to build an airport – and not just a tiny one. He’s planning for two terminals with 52 gates.
Beth asks if he’s secured a forest service lease, and he explains he doesn’t do anything other than manage the fund. He claims he only knows what’s going on because he sits on the board. None of this is in his control.
Roarke’s read up on what’s going on in the valley and isn’t impressed with the fighting and deaths. He assures her all of that will stop now that Market Equities is here. Roarke asks her to pretend this isn’t her town; if she didn’t live here, what would she do? She admits she’d turn the area into another Park City.
Roarke believes Dan Jenkins’ dream was too small. “Why dream about building golf courses when you can build cities?” asks Roarke.
He’s well aware the Duttons are the largest landowners around, with Schwartz & Meyer coming in second. Beth wonders if he’s considered the ranchers in the area while making his plans, and Roarke claims the ranchers will become so rich thanks to Market Equities they won’t have to ranch anymore.
Roarke warns her to watch the flowers as she’s leaving, so of course Beth drives right over them.
Roarke chuckles as he takes a look at the squished flowers. “I like this girl,” he says, laughing. (Beth would kick his a** if she heard him call her girl again.)
Rip brings in potential wranglers and assesses their roping and riding skills. There’s one woman who really impresses Rip and Lloyd (Forrie J. Smith) but they’re concerned she’s speaking Spanish and may not speak English. It turns out she’s not speaking Spanish; Rip believes she’s actually speaking Texan. Lloyd remains unsure until she answers more of their questions.
Her name’s Teeter (Jennifer Landon) but Lloyd thinks she’s calling herself Peter. She cusses him out for not being able to understand what she’s saying…and Lloyd can actually understand the cuss words. Her accent’s incredibly thick but it’s possible to decipher a few words every so often.
Lloyd thinks she’ll “go through the bunkhouse like wildlife,” but Rip believes she’s perfect and wants to hire her.
Beth arrives at the ranch, checks out the job fair (as Rip describes it), and asks about her dad. Rip reveals John’s up at the camp and is deliberately set up in an area without cell reception. He volunteers to take a message to John, but she claims it’s not that important.
Livestock Agent Steve Hendon (James Jordan) shows up at the Sweetgrass County Rodeo and is directed to the possible suspects. One of the victims points out the men who did it and a sheriff confirms there’s a witness who saw them getting in her truck.
Hendon and a deputy come up with a way to punish the thieves while at the same time making an example of them. The men are placed in the trailer they stole and although Hendon threatens to hang them, instead he explains he’s going to deliver a lesson.
They’re in the trailer as Hendon races down the road. He slams on the truck’s brakes, speeds up, brakes suddenly, and swerves all over the road. Each move violently throws the men against the walls of the trailer.
Lesson over, Hendon returns to the rodeo. Accompanied by a couple of deputies, he opens the trailer to discover both men have died. They’ve been beat to hell against the interior of the trailer.
Night’s falling as Rip sits outside his house. He can hear a wolf howl and grabs his rifle. He tracks the sound and finds Beth howling at the moon in the corral. She continues howling as he approaches, confessing in 35 years she’s never been alone on the ranch. With everyone up at camp, they can do whatever they want for the first time – including running naked through the field.
Rip turns on the lights, plays music, and helps Beth to her feet. They dance, alone under the stars.
Up at camp, everyone’s chowing down on dinner and relaxing. Tate keeps asking John for biscuits and John remembers how Kayce’s mom used to make two Dutch ovens full of biscuits – one was just for Kayce. He recalls how impatient Kayce would be until they were ready and when they were, he’d use both hands to gobble them up. The wranglers laugh, but Kayce insists they were really that good.
John explains that Kayce’s mom used to hate making those biscuits because they were so time-consuming. He tried to get her to stop and just make Kayce something else because he’d eat anything put in front of him. She said, “I know, but if I don’t make ‘em I can’t watch him eat ‘em.”
John continues the story, revealing this conversation was their last. She died while they were branding cattle on her birthday.
John leaves the men around the campfire and Kayce follows his dad. John admits he doesn’t know the point of finding someone you love so much only to lose them. He doesn’t see the plan but Kayce assures him he doesn’t see it because they’re inside the plan. “You see the plan; we’re standing on,” says Kayce.
Jamie’s getting ready to turn in when he receives a call from Sweetgrass County Jail. Hendon’s been arrested for the deaths of the suspects. Jamie’s his one phone call. “Sir, we have a problem,” says Hendon.
We don’t hear Jamie’s side of the conversation as the episode ends.
Disney originally set a March 2020 theatrical release date for the live-action film, Mulan, from director Niki Caro. Of course, that didn’t happen because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the closure of pretty much every theater other than drive-ins. Disney bumped the date back to July 24th, which seemed a reasonable delay at the time.
Unfortunately, the July release date was a little too optimistic. With Covid-19 cases going up and new records being set in some states on a daily basis, Disney is now hoping to launch Mulan in theaters on August 21st.
“While the pandemic has changed our release plans for Mulan and we will continue to be flexible as conditions require, it has not changed our belief in the power of this film and its message of hope and perseverance. Director Niki Caro and our cast and crew have created a beautiful, epic, and moving film that is everything the cinematic experience should be, and that’s where we believe it belongs – on the world stage and the big screen for audiences around the globe to enjoy together,” stated Alan Horn, Co-Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, and Alan Bergman, Co-Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios.
The cast of the PG-13 action-adventure film is led by Yifei Liu as Mulan. Donnie Yen plays Commander Tung, Tzi Ma is Zhou, Jason Scott Lee is Böri Khan, and Yoson An is Honghui. The cast also includes Ron Yuan as Sergeant Qiang, Gong Li as Xianniang, and Jet Li as the Emperor.
Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Lauren Hynek, and Elizabeth Martin wrote the screenplay which was inspired by the poem, The Ballad of Mulan. Chris Bender, Jake Weiner, and Jason Reed produced the drama, and Bill Kong, Barrie M. Osborne, Tim Coddington, and Mario Iscovich executive produced.
Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s Mulan, in which a fearless young woman risks everything out of love for her family and her country to become one of the greatest warriors China has ever known. When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father.
Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential. It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honored warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation…and a proud father.
Amazon Prime Video’s popular comic book-inspired series The Boys will kick off season two on Friday, September 4, 2020. The new season will drop three episodes on September 4th, with additional new episodes arriving each Friday through October 9th.
“We cannot WAIT to show you season two. It’s crazier, stranger, more intense, more emotional. In fact, it’s too much — so the Surgeon General** has insisted we air the first three episodes on September 4, then air the remaining five episodes weekly after that. We wanted to give you time to freak out, digest, discuss, come down from the high, before we give you another dose. We only have your well-being in mind. Hope you love the season as much as we do,” stated creator and executive producer Eric Kripke. (**No, he didn’t.”)
Returning cast members include Antony Starr as Homelander, Karl Urban as Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie, Erin Moriarty as Starlight, and Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk. Karen Fukuhara is Kimiko, Dominique McElligott is Queen Maeve, Jessie T. Usher is A-Train, Chace Crawford is The Deep, Nathan Mitchell is Black Noir, and Tomer Capon returns as Frenchie.
Aya Cash joins the cast as a new Supe named Stormfront.
And Claudia Doumit, Goran Visnijc, Malcolm Barrett, Colby Minifie, Shantel VanSanten, Cameron Crovetti, PJ Byrne, Laila Robbins, and Giancarlo Esposito will be featured in recurring season two roles.
The Boys is based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s best-selling comic. Supernatural’s Eric Kripke writes, executive producers, and guides the series as showrunner. Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Phil Sgriccia, Craig Rosenberg, Rebecca Sonnenshine, Ken Levin, and Jason Netter also serve as executive producers.
The Boys Plot, Courtesy of Amazon Prime Video:
The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes – who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods – abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys continue on a heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven, and Vought – the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that manages these superheroes and covers up all of their dirty secrets.
The even more intense, more insane season two finds The Boys on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought. In hiding, Hughie, Mother’s Milk, Frenchie and Kimiko try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, Starlight must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront, a social media-savvy new Supe, who has an agenda of her own. On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia.
Wynonna pledges to take back Purgatory and rid it of demons in the official two-minute trailer for Syfy’s Wynonna Earp season four. The trailer acknowledges the series wouldn’t be around for season four if it weren’t for the dedication of fans campaigning for its renewal. It also shows off clips of all our fan-favorite characters back and ready to kick serious demon butt.
In addition to dropping the trailer, Syfy, CTV Sci-Fi, IDW Entertainment, SEVEN24 Films and Cineflix Media confirmed season four will premiere on Sunday, July 26, 2020 at 10pm ET/PT.
Production on season four was interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, so only the first six episodes of the season are complete. Episode six will serve as the mid-season finale and is set for Sunday, August 30th at 10pm ET/PT.
Filming’s expected to resume sometime later this summer in Calgary. Syfy didn’t announce the premiere date for season four’s final six episodes.
Wynonna Earp will be among the series represented at the first-ever Comic-Con@Home scheduled for July 23-26th. Comic-Con@Home is a virtual event serving as a replacement for the San Diego Comic-Con which was canceled earlier this year as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Cast members Melanie Scrofano (“Wynonna Earp”), Tim Rozon (“Doc Holliday”), Dominique Provost-Chalkley (“Waverly Earp”), Katherine Barrell (“Nicole Haught), and Varun Saranga (“Jeremy Chetri”) are expected to join series creator Emily Andras for the show’s panel.
The Plot:
“In Season 4, the infamous Earp Curse is broken, and witty and wild demon hunter Wynonna Earp would love to be celebrating with cold whiskey and hot donuts. Too bad she has to rescue everyone she loves, save the town of Purgatory, and take on her most diabolical, Earp-hating enemy yet — all without her trustworthy gun, Peacemaker. And that’s just Monday…”

It turns out Council of Dads‘ season one finale will double as the series finale. NBC has decided not to renew the family drama after a disappointing first season. Season one episode 10, “Fight or Flight,” will usher the series out on July 2, 2020.
The season one cast includes Sarah Wayne Callies as Robin Perry, Clive Standen as Anthony Lavelle, J. August Richards as Oliver Post, and Michael O’Neill as Larry Mills. Michele Weaver is Luly Perry, Steven Silver is Evan Norris, Emjay Anthony is Theo Perry, Thalia Tran is Charlotte Perry, and Blue Chapman is JJ Perry.
“Fight or Flight” Plot: Anthony arrives at the storm-ravaged Perry home to find Robin and Theo in peril, and Oliver puts all his medical skills to work when Sage goes into early labor. Meanwhile, the future of the Crab Shack is left hanging in the balance from the storm damage and the Perry kids grapple with the stunning news about Luly. Hilarie Burton and David Walton guest star.
The Season 1 Plot, Curtesy of NBC:
Family takes on a different meaning in this transformative and inspirational new drama when Scott Perry, a loving father of five, has his entire life’s plan thrown into upheaval by an unexpected health scare. He calls on a few of his most trusted friends to step in as back-up dads to help guide and support his growing family – just in case he ever can’t be there to do it himself.
There’s Anthony, Scott’s oldest and most loyal friend; Larry, his tough-love AA sponsee; and Oliver, his dedicated doctor and wife’s dearest friend. Together, they discover that there’s more to being a father than anyone could do alone – and more to being a family than they ever thought possible.

The Season 3 Plot, Courtesy of The CW:
Burden of Truth is a serialized investigative drama about life-altering legal cases, the helpless plaintiffs searching for answers, and the boots-on-the-ground lawyers fighting incredible odds to deliver justice.
In season three, Joanna Chang and Billy Crawford are working together in their new boutique law firm, Crawford Chang, but they’re discovering that living and litigating together has its challenges. On a cathartic trip back to Millwood for a class reunion, an old friend, Kodie, turns Joanna’s life upside down when her children are removed by Millwood Family Services. Kodie believes she is the victim of a conspiracy and pleads for Joanna to help solve the case and bring her children back.
To help her friend, Joanna must dig into the dark underbelly of Millwood to unearth evidence of a cluster of child apprehensions. Joanna will take on an impossible-to-win case that will force her to confront a long-buried secret from her childhood that may threaten her relationship and partnership with Billy. After this case, nothing will be the same again.
