Netflix’ ‘Fuller House’ Has Been Renewed For A Second Season!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Well, I’m excited.

Netflix debuted the first season of its anticipated Full House revival, Fuller House, less than one week ago, and they’ve already announced that they’re bringing it back for more.

I have absolutely no idea why, but I’ve been absolutely loving the few episodes of Fuller House that I’ve seen thus far. The show reeks of bad ’90’s sitcom, and for some reason that feels refreshing as hell.

In Fuller House, the adventures that began in 1987 on Full House continue, with veterinarian D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Candace Cameron Bure) recently widowed and living in San Francisco. D.J.’s younger sister/aspiring musician Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) and D.J.’s lifelong best friend/fellow single mother Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber), along with Kimmy’s feisty teenage daughter Ramona (Soni Nicole Bringas), all move in to help take care of D.J.’s three boys — the rebellious 12-year-old Jackson (Michael Champion), neurotic 7-year-old Max (Elias Harger) and her newborn baby, Tommy Jr (Messitt Twins). Guest appearances by John Stamos (Jesse Katsopolis), Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone), Lori Loughlin (Becky Katsopolis) and Scott Weinger (Steve Hale).

You can take a look at the (short) season two announcement video below, and be sure to let us know what you’ve thought of the series thus far!

Your list will get even fuller.Fuller House Season 2. Coming soon to Netflix.

The First Trailer For ‘Fuller House’ Is Here, And It’s Freaking Wonderful!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The full trailer for Fuller House has finally hit, and (thankfully) it reeks of the 1990’s

Seriously, it looks as though things haven’t changed a bit for the Tanner family, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The trailer features plenty of laughs and cringe-worthy lines, that intronitus-inducing theme song, and an overall great look at this new (old) Tanner family dynamic.

Netflix Renews ‘Sense8’ For A Second Season!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Netflix has just renewed J Michael Straczynski and the Wachowski’s divisive Sense8 for another season!

The renewal was revealed this morning via the following video on the official Netflix twitter page:

In speaking to Variety about a potential renewal last month, series creator J Michael Straczynski noted that “The way that the Wachowskis and I tend to work — we created the show together and we are running the show together — we are long-thinking people. We look down the road and we say to ourselves, ‘Where is this going to go?’ … Season one is like an origin story and season two has some particular arc, and we figure it out from there. But to spoil that here would not be the best interest of the surprise at the end.”

Sense8 features a rather expansive cast consisting of Brian J. Smith, Tuppence Middleton, Jamie Clayton, Miguel Angel Silvestre, Tina Desai, Doona Bae, Aml Ameen and Max Riemelt. Also, Daryl Hannah, Naveen Andrews, Terrence Mann, Freema Agyeman, Alfonso Herrera, Erendira Ibarra, Adam Shapiro, Ness Bautista​ and ​​​Joe Pantoliano, among others.

All 12 episodes launched back in June, and while I haven’t had an opportunity to watch the series just yet, I’m looking forward to checking out the divisive original.

Watch The First Trailer For The Wachowski’s ‘Sense8’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Now that I’ve finished The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Daredevil (and listened to Jonathan and Ian Kerner go in-depth on the series), I’m about ready for another Netflix original.

We knew it was coming, but the Wachowski’s Sense8 has been officially revealed with a neat first trailer. In the series, “One moment links 8 minds in disparate parts of the world, putting 8 strangers in each other’s lives, each other’s secrets, and in terrible danger.”

All 12 episodes will launch on June 12, and I can’t wait to see what the series has to offer. Take a look at the first trailer below, and let us know what you think!
