Keep Your Eyes Out for the Dig TV Show

There’s a new TV show coming from the people behind The Good Place and Parks and Recreation. It’s Dig from Michael Schur, starring Amy Poehler and Hugh Laurie! With an appearance from Brennan Lee Mulligan!

I’m always watching TV shows. I’ve got a running list of shows to watch, and I just burn through them. I’m not someone who goes back and rewatches comfort shows. There’s always something new to watch. And the pedigree behind Dig is very impressive and shows a lot of potential, so I’m fully on board!

Dig comes to Peacock on Nov. 23.

Season 2 TV Trailer Thursday!

I don’t know about you, but there’s so much new TV coming out that I’m losing track. There’s a fourth season of The Bear to watch. A new season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia just started up. And there are more new shows and new seasons coming right around the corner! In fact, I’ve got trailers for two shows I’m looking forward to watching.

First up is a proper trailer for the second season of Wednesday. I enjoyed the first season well enough.

Looks solid. Looks to have a good plot. I hope that monster boy returns. He was my favorite character in the first season. And you know who I want to see? Joel Glicker, the nerdy kid Wednesday hooked up with in Addams Family Values, played by David Krumholtz. This is a show that’s more than willing to play the nostalgia card, and he’s some kind of canon to Addams lore. Why not have that character show up in the new show? Wednesday needs to love interests!

The first half of Wednesday will come out on Aug. 6, and the second half will come out on Sept. 3, because Netflix still can’t pull the trigger on weekly releases.


Next up is a full trailer for the second season of Twisted Metal! The first season was a hoot and a half, and I can’t wait for more!

The first season of Twisted Metal was better than it had any right to be. They made a damn fun show based around the classic video game series, and it looks like season two is actually going to feature the vehicle combat battles! And it’s got Axel! We can see him in the trailer! How exciting.

Twisted Metal will come to Peacock starting on July 31.

Super Trailer Thursday!

For some reason, a bunch of interesting trailers have been coming out this week. And I love trailers. And they’re easy to share when I’m otherwise busy. So how about we enjoy a couple of trailers for shows and movies I have a vague interest in?

Like the live action trailer for Lilo & Stitch!

I enjoy the animated Lilo & Stitch as much as the next person. And I don’t care for the Disney live action movies as much as the next person. Heck, the live action Snow White comes out, like, next week. Does anybody care beyond the haters? Still, who doesn’t enjoy Stitch shenanigans?

Lilo & Stitch live action comes to theaters on May 23.


Next up is an animated show on Netflix that I just learned about: Devil May Cry! I never played the games, but I’ve enjoyed the animated Castlevania shows, so maybe this will also be good?

It looks pretty good. I’m all in favor of turning classic video games into cool new anime shows. I even did a List of Six suggesting some other shows! And maybe this will be a faithful adaptation and I’ll actually find out what Devil May Cry is about. Won’t that be something?

Devil May Cry, the series, comes to Netflix on April 3.


Lastly, there’s going to be a new season of Poker Face, the mystery show starring Natasha Lyonne and created by Rian Johnson.

For some reason, I didn’t care for the first season of Poker Face. It did nothing for me! Even though I enjoy Lyonne’s work and am a huge fan of Knives Out and Glass Onion. Just something about Poker Face didn’t click for me. So I don’t even know if I’ll watch this. But some of you might, so I thought I’d share.

Poker Face season 2 comes to Peacock on May 8.

There’s Gonna be More Twisted Metal!

I write this to you in the middle of a snowstorm, which is coming already on top of the worst winter the northeast has had in some years. So yeah, jeez. And through all of this storm, I’ve still got to buy a new car. Life is fine.

But at least we’ve got a trailer for a second season of Twisted Metal! And starring the man of the hour, Anthony Mackie!

I very much enjoyed the first season of Twisted Metal. It was a fun, silly show that had great action and took itself the right balance of silly and serious. And season two looks like it’ll be even more fun!

Also, we are not getting more Twisted Metal the game, if that’s what you thought my headline meant…sorry.

Also also, I really liked Mackie in the new Captain America film! I may or may not have a review up this week, depending on how this snowstorm goes.

Twisted Metal will return to Peacock this summer.

TV Trailer Tuesday!

A good question exists of why I share which trailers I do. Why some trailers but not all trailers? The answers is that I really just share trailers of projects that interest me. I’ve loved watching trailers since the days of Coming Attractions on the E! Network when I was a kid. Here are some trailers I’ve been sitting on over the past few days and am just dropping them now for funsies!

First up is the trailer for the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks! I love this show. It’s my Star Trek. And it’s a damn shame this is the final season. We need so much more! This season looks great.

Can’t wait to watch. Love the Beckett/Jennifer stuff. Have no idea what else might happen. Anything could happen! I hope they go huge for the final season!

The last season of Lower Decks comes to Paramount+ starting Oct. 24.


Next up is the new Netflix cartoon Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. This started last Thursday, but I haven’t watched it yet. I’ll get around to it one of these days.

Looks pretty straight forward to me. Lara Croft should be an easy character to adapt, so it’s weird that the movie franchise didn’t really take off. Hopefully this cartoon can reveal how it’s easy and awesome to make a show about a badass exploration hero exploring tombs and fighting bad guys and monsters.


Then we’ve got a new show called Hysteria, which looks pretty neat.

Looks like a fun premise, lots of cheeky humor and I think I’ll definitely try to find a watch somewhere along the way. Or maybe it’ll be one of those shows that comes and goes and nobody remembers it even existed. Who can tell? I’ll probably give it aw atch.

Hysteria comes to Peacock on Oct. 18, so at the end of this week.


Lastly is the first trailer for the second season of Silo on AppleTV+. DO NOT WATCH THIS TRAILER unless you’ve already seen season 1, because it’s full of SPOILERS.

Looks great to me! I really enjoyed the first season, and I can’t wait to see where they go with season 2. This trailer gives us some pretty fun hints and I can’t wait to see them play out!

Silo season 2 comes to AppleTV+ on Nov. 15.
