Netflix has renewed Black Summer Season 2 quite some time ago. The series served as the prequel of the craziest zombie series Z-Nation. It sets years before the incident of Z-Nation occurs. Though it follows a separate story arc still both the series are spiritually connected. Earlier, its filming started in 2019 but then delayed for some apparent reasons. However, it’s not declared when the filming for Black Summer Season 2 would resume. Till then, let’s wait for further updates.

Black Summer, created by Karl Schaefer and John Hyams, is an apocalyptic fiction drama series on Netflix. The series revolves around Rose (Jaime King) and her crew’s quest for survival and search for her daughter. When the zombie devastation was its earliest and fatal condition, she lost her daughter Anna. However, she started a quest to search for her daughter during this deadliest time, where she met a small group of refugees. Rose made a brave move to unite the new hostile world. She also made many cruel decisions, including killing one of her crew members, to speed up their quest, during the fatal summer of the zombie devastation.

Black Summer Season 2: Renewed Last Year

Generally, Netflix takes one or two months to renew the show by considering its target viewership. However, in the case of Black Summer, Netflix didn’t reveal whether they were thinking of renewing it. Everything stayed silent until October 2019. In October, people noticed an auction on HollywoodCharityAuctions.com and eBay, that offering people to visit Black Summer’s set before they start their shooting for the next season.

Later in November 2019, Netflix confirmed that Black Summer Season 2 is on its horizon. And then, Netflix from its NX account posted a 20 seconds video confirming the second season is returning on Netflix. That reads: “Its official! Black Summer is returning for season 2”. Where Rose is looking at the screen with mixed (teary eyes and satisfied smile) expression. And Anna is running towards her mom.

Black Summer Season 2: Production Details

The filming for season 2 started early before the pandemic hit the world. In late November, Karl Schaefer announced that the second season is set to film in Calgary, Canada. Karl tweeted: “We’ll be shooting in Calgary again”. But, due to the ongoing pandemic, the production is on hold now. And when it will resume is still not clear. So, we can expect that the next season would premiere later this year.

What Will Happen Now?

In the previous season, Rose finally reunited with her daughter Anna at the Stadium. However, Rose, Sun, and Spears were the only survivors from their group. Spear’s sole aim was to reunite Rose with Anna. Meanwhile, Sun was only looking to leave the group. In the entire season, the whole group struggled to survive from the zombies’ mass attack in their quest. But, the series wasn’t connecting to its sequel series. It could be possible in the upcoming season to connect and show some events from its sequel series to make it more transparent and thrilling.

Good News! Netflix confirmed that The Witcher Season 2 would resume its filming this August. The last season witnessed princess Ciri asking Geralt about Yennefer. But before he could answer, the show ended. Seriously! Further, as per the official synopsis, princess Ciri and Geralt will travel to the witcher’s training land, after rescuing her from the fall of Cintra. But this time, the time-jump will be linear to make it more understandable to the viewers. Furthermore, as it would showcase the witchers’ training place, it means, more witchers are joining the show.

The Witcher, created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, is an adventure, fantasy, action-drama series on Netflix. It’s based on Sword of Destiny and The Last Wish, two short stories of Andrzej Sapkowski’s book series. The series set in a fictional medieval-inspired place called ‘the Continent.’ It delves into the legends of Geralt of Rivia’s monster hunting and Princess Ciri. They are connected by fate. Initially, it portrays three main protagonists’ stories at different events. Until the three (including Yennefer) merge into a liner time-frame.

Ready To Start Filming

Earlier, the filming for The Witcher Season 2 started in March. But, due to the pandemic, the production put on hold. However, the government announced to begin production from June, by following all the health protocols. Soon after this announcement, Netflix has officially confirmed that the second season will restart filming on August 17. It means Geralt of Rivia and Princess Ciri can continue their journey.

Netflix posted this announcement on Twitter in Jaskier the Bard’s style. That reads: “I’m dusting off my lute and quill, I have some news, some mead to spill: After all the months we’ve been apart. It’s time for production to restart. The Witcher and his bard- who’s flawless. Well, reunite on set 17 August.”

I’m dusting off my lute and quill,
I have some news, some mead to spill:
After all the months we’ve been apart
It’s time for production to restart.
The Witcher and his bard – who’s flawless,
Will reunite on set 17 August.

Dan is expecting to launch This Is Us Season 5 this fall. However, NBC has not officially confirmed even to start its production yet. But, he’s hoping for good news, soon. Further, he teased what the upcoming season is all about in Entertainment Weekly’s Dan Snierson for the 92Y’s panel discussion. In which he revealed that Josh’s promoted as the series regular. And fans can see him with Dr. K. It means both are connected, maybe or maybe not. Well, for this you have to watch the upcoming season of This Is Us.

This Is Us, created by Dan Fogelman, is a family comedy-drama series on NBC. It follows the lives of three siblings Kate (Chrissy Metz), Kevin (Justin Hartley), and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and their parents Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca Pearson (Mandy Moore). It depicts the story of two surviving kids from a triplet pregnancy, who are born prematurely on Jack’s 36th birthday in 1980. However, the third kid didn’t survive, but the couple believed to have three children came up to a decision to adopt Randall.

Randall, an African-American child, was born on the same day, but his family abandoned him at a nearby fire station. Jack died when her kids were 17, and Pearson later married Miguel, Jack’s best friend. Then, Randall marries his collegemate Beth and becomes a finance professional. Kevin becomes a successful actor and Keth marries Toby and gets a degree in music.

In a discussion panel, the showrunner revealed that Josh would appear as an essential character in the upcoming season. He said: “The doctor becomes an important figure next season to Kevin. There’s no coincidence he was introduced in the same timeline that Dr. K. returned.”

Dan Teased The Storyline For The Upcoming Season

It Will Be All About Birth And Rebirth

The previous season was all about exploring the career and goals of the siblings. However, This Is Us Season 5 would portray the new beginning and family moments. Showrunner Dan said that considering the present condition in mind, it’s better to tell the theme as a rebirth. He said: “I would call it almost a rebirth (that will follow) a lot of new beginnings and particularly the words birth and rebirth is going to be a big thematic part of next season.”

Deja, Annie, And Tess’ Journey Will Be Explored

Showrunner also said it was not that easy to portray every character’s story in 18 episodes. However, after wrapping up Pearson’s story, they can show more about other family members’ stories, including Randall’s kids. He said: “By the time the Pearson story wraps up on our series, you’ll have gotten a lot of check-ins to figure out and understand where everyone’s characters are in the big span of their lives. That includes the children.”

On October 1, 1989, 43 women without showing any sign of pregnancy gave birth to children simultaneously. From them, seven were adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, an eccentric billionaire. These kids later turned into a superhero team called “The Umbrella Academy.” But Hargreeves gave them numbers instead of names. But they eventually named them after their nanny-robot mother. Now, they all are trying to solve the mystery of their socially impaired family and their origin.

The Umbrella Academy Season 2: When To Expect?

Netflix greenlit the show as soon as its ratings crossed the streaming platform’s records. According to Netflix, 45 million people watched the previous season. That’s pretty great news, isn’t it? Further, it gained 7.9 ratings on IMDb and 75% on Rotten Tomatoes. So, how can Netflix didn’t renew such a brilliant show?

It’s been more than a year of Hargreeve’s death. And finally, Netflix revealed that when this mystery is going to solve.

And now they have to find each other first and reunite before another devastation happens.

That means it will follow each character’s story arc. In which, Luther (Tom Hopper) will be stuck in the early days of the Vietnam War. Klaus (Rober Sheehan) will fall to hippie living. And Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) will become an active participant in the Civil Rights Movement. That all depict the 60s storyline.

Younger Season 7 received early renewed when season 6 was streaming on TV Land’s network. No doubt! It’s one of the popular shows on the system, which TV Land could brag on. And that’s why it refused Paramount’s proposal to transfer their original series on their network. But, when will the upcoming season premiere is still in a daze. The previous season ended in 2019, in which Charles proposed Lisa. But, before she could answer his proposal, the show ended. And because of the ongoing pandemic, the upcoming season filming is on hold. So, we have no choice left than to wait.

Younger, created by Darren Star, is a single-camera comedy-drama series on TV Land. The series is based on Pamela Redmond Satran’s novel of the same name. Its set in New York City follows a 40-year-old divorced woman Liza Miller’s (Sutton Foster) life. She’s a single mother of a teenage daughter.

From there, she discovered that if she works a little on herself, she can get a job by portraying a less aged woman. Fortunately, she made it and entered the ageist publishing industry and later became Empirical Press marketing head Diana Trout’s assistant.

Younger Season 7: Renewed Back!

Younger is one of the oldest and original series of TV Land network. It gained many positive reviews from the audience and critics. The series earned 7.8 ratings on IMDb and 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, to balance all the sweetness, some critics also said that the show’s full of “clueless” and “silly.” Well, the network doesn’t think like that. That’s why it early renewed Younger for its seventh season when season six began to air.

TV Land’s President Wanting Next Season

After release, the series became the highest-rated cable sitcom with around 1.3 million viewers. The series is most popular amongst women of the 25-54 demo groups as well as the 18-49 age groups. Even Keith Cox, TV Land, and Paramount’s president of development and production thinks the show must go on, as it created a different height in its original platform. Keith said: “Season after season, Younger has continued to reach new heights and build an incredibly loyal fan base. We love this talented and amazing cast and can’t wait to see what Darren has in store for season seven.”

Paramount’s Desire To Have The Show

The series’ popularity and growing ratings made its way to Paramount Network. Paramount offered TV Land to transfer the series on their network. However, TV Land didn’t want to mess up with the rise in their viewership. They said it’s their original series, and they don’t want to transfer the show on another network. It will always be the network’s original front show.

Production Will Start Next Year

As you all know, the seventh season renewed two years ago. And fans are eagerly waiting for what happens next. The previous season ended with a cliffhanger where Charles proposed Lisa. Now how will she react? What will be her answer? There are so many questions that we all wanted to know. Unfortunately, we have to wait until everything sorted.

Recently, on Instagram, Debi Mazar (Lisa’s best friend Maggie) told one of her fans that filming would begin in March 2021. It seems there is so much time to wait. So, we can assume that Younger Season 7 would premiere somewhere in 2022.

When we all were waiting for Line Of Duty Season 6 to join all the missing pieces, this pandemic hit the world. And unfortunately, the filming for the upcoming season went on hold. We know Kate and Steve are on the verge of cracking the puzzle to discover who “H” is. It seems H has more time to breathe freely, until season 6 arrives. And the showrunner doesn’t want to disturb him until everything cleared up.

Recently, Jed Mercurio said he’s not thinking to resume filming until everything sorted. Further, Rochendra Sandall revealed that the upcoming season would take two more years to land on BBC. Now, that’s something which we didn’t expect. But, let’s wait, that’s what we can do now.

Throughout the series, they investigate contrasting cases where they deal with various corrupted officers. And they finally discovered that all the corrupted officers are linked to a criminal group. Now, they are working to unsolved this mystery.

Line Of Duty Season 6: More Haitus!

Jed Mercurio Discussing About Resuming Filming

Many BBC’s shows such as Top Gear and EastEnders resumed filming from June. However, Line of Duty’s showrunner Jed wants to wait until everything cleared up. According to him, he wanted to return as soon as possible, but not at the cost of the cast and crew’s health. He said: “I want to get back as soon as we can, but that’s got to be when it’s safe.” In an interview, Martin assured that they would surely return with more drama and thrill. He continued: “We will be back again to get them finished, and I hope they’ll be back bigger and better and longer!”

As you all know, the current situation is changing, and somewhat it’s more dangerous than before. Howbeit, the government is trying to resume production by maintaining all the health protocols. But Jed disclosed when it could be possible for them to begin the production. He said: “To be honest with you, there’s a lot we can do within the industry. But until wider society has the public health infrastructure of test, trace, and isolate in place, it’s going to be very hard for anyone.”

Rochenda Sandall Teased They Won’t Return Until 2022

Rochenda, famous as Lisa McQueen, teased that there was a two-year gap between the fourth and the fifth seasons. So, it’s easy for fans to wait now also. She said: “There was a two-year break between series four and five- and I think it’s worth the wait! It just means that the fans have got to wait an extra year.” So, it’s pretty clear that Line Of Duty Season 6 would premiere somewhere later 2022.
