‘Devo' Doc Whips Up Netflix Premiere Date
It was revealed that the streaming service had acquired the film — succinctly titled Devo — last month, and now a release date has been set for Aug. 19. Directed by Chris Smith, Devo tracks the formation, rise, creative evolution, and cultural impact of the post-punk/New Wave/geek rock greats. It features a plethora of rare archival footage, as well as interviews with Mark Mothersbaugh, Gerald Casale, and more.

In a review of the film following its Sundance premiere, Rolling Stone film critic David Fear wrote, 'Devo lets you know that it's the definitive portrait of an art project by mimicking its subject's Dada-meets-deadpan-humor aesthetic.'
The films arrival on Netflix is part of an array of celebrations planned for this year as Devo mark 50-plus years together (the band formed in Akron, Ohio in 1973). For instance, Devo just launched a new bi-weekly YouTube series called Devolutionary Times, which will find them sharing newly restored Devo videos and films.
The videos will be released chronologically, starting this week with 'The Truth About De-Evolution,' a nine-minute short film directed by Chuck Statler released in 1976. It features performances of 'Secret Agent Man' and 'Jocko Homo.'
Devo are also set to hit the road later this year, with the band announcing a co-headlining tour with the B-52s. The Cosmic De-Evolution Tour will kick off Sept. 24 at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto and wrap Nov. 2 at the Cynthia Wood Mitchell Pavilion in Houston.

When Does ‘Wednesday' Season 2 Part 2 Come Out? Full Release Schedule
After nearly three years, a new season of Wednesday is finally streaming on Netflix and it's just as creepy, shocking and entertaining as Season 1. Fans may notice that only the first four episodes of Wednesday Season 2 are currently available, so when will the rest be released? Wednesday's sophomore season follows Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) as she returns for another year at Nevermore Academy. And within just two days of school, she has a stalker, is caught in another murder conspiracy, has a haunting premonition of Enid's death and is being chased by a killer one-eyed crow. 'This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem,' the synopsis reads. She also dives headfirst into a new bone-chilling mystery connected to the nearby Willow Hill asylum. Helping her along the way are returning Nevermore students like her best friend Enid, as well as the rest of the Addams Family — Morticia, Gomez, and Pugsley — who play a larger role as they become more involved on campus, including Pugsley, who joins as a new student. In recent years, Netflix has opted to release its most popular shows in multiple parts. Wednesday is also getting the two-part treatment — just like Bridgerton and Emily in Paris — while the final season of Stranger Things will follow a three-part release schedule later this year. Here's everything you need to know about the Wednesday Season 2 release schedule, along with a recap of what happened at the end of Part 1. When Does Wednesday Season 2, Part 2 Come Out? Wednesday Season 2, Part 2 will be released on September 3, 2025, which is four weeks after the first part premieres on the Netflix. The remaining episodes will be released at 3 a.m. ET / midnight PT on the platform. How Many Episodes Are In Wednesday Season 2, Part 2? Just like in Part 1, the second part of Wednesday will also have four episodes, bringing the Season 2 episode total to eight. What Is The Wednesday Season 2 Release Schedule? Wednesday Season 2 will be released in two parts over four weeks in August and September. Check out the full release schedule and announced episode titles below. Warning: Spoilers ahead for Wednesday Season 2, Part 1. How Does Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 End? In the mid-season finale, Wednesday pieces together more puzzles of the mystery she's been investigating, a case that also appears to be connected to the impending death of her best friend Enid, which she witnessed in a vision. She discovers that Augustus Stonehurst, a current patient at Willow Hill, was once the Normie head doctor at the facility. Before that, he taught science at Nevermore Academy. While at Willow Hill, he launched a secret program called the Long-Term Outcast Integration Study (LOIS), through which he harnessed outcast powers in an attempt to become one himself. To cover up the experiments, Stonehurst faked the deaths of the outcasts he used, writing false obituaries and filling their urns with animal remains — something former Sheriff Galpin and private investigator Carl Bradbury had begun to suspect. But Stonehurst ultimately couldn't handle the effects of the experiments and suffered a psychiatric break. Now, his daughter Judi, the executive assistant at Willow Hill, is continuing his mission. Thanks to his experiments, she has even managed to become an Avian herself. With the help of her Uncle Fester, Wednesday locates where the LOIS outcasts are being held and helps free them. Once released, the outcasts turn on Judi, attacking and killing her. Meanwhile, Slurp the zombie devours the brains of both Augustus and Dr. Fairburn, becoming stronger and more human-like with every brain he eats. Meanwhile, last season's villain, Marilyn Thornhill — brought to Willow Hill by Dr. Fairburn in hopes that she could break through to Tyler — still believes she holds control over him as his former master. Amid the chaos at the asylum, she breaks him out, but he returns the favor by sinking his claws into her, killing her. In the final moments of Wednesday Season 4, Tyler spots Wednesday at the end of the hallway and charges at her in full Hyde form. He throws her out the window, and she lands hard on the concrete below, her body covered in blood. 'I've always dreamed of looking death in the face," her voiceover says. "But in my final moments, all I hear is my mother's words ringing in my ears. Maybe I have made everything worse... much worse.' The Part 2 teaser shown at the end of the mid-season finale reveals that Wednesday isn't dead, but she's in a coma. With Tyler and Slurp now on the loose, what could possibly go wrong? The first four episodes of Wednesday Season 2 are streaming on Netflix. Check out the official trailer below.
