Netflix viewers buzzing about upcoming horror film and question ties to trilogy
Netflix is releasing a brand new horror film later this month
Netflix is set to release a spine-chilling new horror film this week that's already causing quite a stir among fans on social media, reports Surrey Live.
The buzz started when Netflix unveiled the trailer at the beginning of May, and it seems many viewers are echoing similar sentiments.
One fan commented on YouTube: "I love how they said that this movie wouldn't be connected to the original trilogy but obviously from the trailer you can tell it's canon."
Another chimed in: "I do not care how many of these y'all plan on making, I will be watching every single one."
A third viewer posted: "Kinda obvious it's canon. Why the hell would they make a non-canon film [sic]."

Another person remarked: "they litterally are this is ten years from the camp nightwing massacre, they're all connected, I think this is just a story from another massacre in shady side [sic]."
Yet another fan observed: "I think it's canon too. Plus at the end of part 3, didn't someone take the devil book [sic].
"I think it is all connected to even though they keep saying it's not. We already got one reference," added another.
One enthusiast noted: "yep but remember, this takes place between 1 and 2, so if it was connected it would focus on that timeline aspect of it [sic]."
Fear Street: Prom Queen, part of the Fear Street franchise, will be available on Netflix from May 23.
Netflix, having previously launched the Fear Street trilogy in 2021, which included Fear Street Part One: 1994, Fear Street Part Two: 1978 and Fear Street Part Three: 1666, is now expanding the universe.
The original trilogy was inspired by Goosebumps creator R. L. Stine's Fear Street novel series.
Stine has been in discussions with Netflix to broaden the Fear Street franchise beyond the initial trilogy, with Prom Queen being the first step in this expansion.
Set in Shadyside High during the 1988 prom season, the film follows the popular girls as they compete for the coveted homecoming crown.
However, when a spirited teenager enters the competition and other girls start to mysteriously disappear, it seems prom night is set to be a bloody affair.
Fear Street: Prom Queen boasts a star-studded cast including India Fowler from The Agency and The Nevers, Suzanna Son of HBO's The Idol, Fina Strazza from Paper Girls, American Pie's Chris Klein, David Iacono from The Summer I Turned Pretty, Ella Rubin from Anora and The Idea of You, Ariana Greenblatt from Love and Monsters and Stuck in the Middle, with Lili Taylor from Outer Range and Katherine Waterston from Perry Mason completing the line-up.
Fear Street: Prom Queen promises to plunge viewers into the 1980s, complete with all its horror, gore and glamour.

Ben Affleck serves as the third wheel during dinner date with Matt Damon and wife Luciana
Ben Affleck became the 'third wheel' alongside childhood friend Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso over the weekend. The 52-year-old Affleck and 54-year-old Damon were spotted at Steak 48 in Beverly Hills alongside Damon's 48-year-old wife, who he tied the knot with in 2005. They were spotted at the restaurant hours after they appeared at Netflix 's Tudum event at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, where Ben roasted Matt for his grey beard. They were both at the event to present the first footage from their Netflix action film The Rip, and then enjoyed a late dinner in Beverly Hills. Ben was spotted wearing a black t-shirt under a black leather jacket, with blue jeans and black boots for the dinner outing. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Ben Affleck became the 'third wheel' alongside childhood friend Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso over the weekend. His childhood friend Matt opted for a white button-down short-sleeved shirt, grey pants and white sneakers for his outing. Damon grew out the grey beard to portray Odysseus in director Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey. Filming started in late February on the film, which also stars, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson and Charlize Theron, though it's unclear if filming has yet to wrap. When they took the stage, Affleck joked, 'I trusted Matt would shave the beard before Tudum. And here we are.' They introduced co-stars Teyana Taylor, Steven Yeun, and Catalina Sandino Moreno. Affleck and Damon portray Miami cops whose team's trust begins to fray upon discovering millions in cash in a derelict stash house in Joe Carnahan's crime drama premiering January 16 on Netflix. 'The Rip came out of a deeply personal experience that my friend went through, both as a father and as head of tactical narcotics for the Miami Dade police department,' Carnahan told Tudum last Saturday. 'It's inspired in part by his life and then, by my enduring love for those classic seventies cop thrillers that really valued the character and interpersonal relationships and became touchstones of that era — films like Serpico and Prince of the City and more recently, Michael Mann's Heat.' Sasha Calle, Néstor Carbonell, Lina Esco, Scott Adkins, and Kyle Chandler will also appear in The Rip. The Boston besties co-produced Bill Condon's $30M-budget remake of West End musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, starring Ben's second ex-wife Jennifer Lopez, which hits US theaters October 10. Matt is currently on break from filming Universal Pictures $250M-budget 'mythic action epic' already scheduled to hit theaters on July 17, 2026. The Odyssey marks Damon's third time being directed by Nolan after his 2023 atomic bomb biopic Oppenheimer, and his 2014 sci-fi epic Interstellar. Principal photography officially began February 25 on the IMAX flick, and filming is also expected to take place in Italy, Greece, Morocco, Scotland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

What to Stream: Nintendo's Switch 2, Addison Rae album, 'Presence' and Ariana Madix returns to Fiji
A Shaquille O'Neal docuseries about his time at Reebok's basketball division and Mario Kart World on Nintendo 's Switch 2 are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you. Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: Ariana Madix returns to Fiji as host of a new season of 'Love Island USA.,' TikTok star Addison Rae offers her debut album 'Addison' and then there's "Presence,' Steven Soderbergh's movie entirely from the perspective a ghost. New movies to stream from June 2-8 — 'Presence,' one of two excellent Steven Sodebergh-directed, David Koepp-scripted movies released this year, arrives Tuesday on Hulu. The film, a nifty, experimental little thriller, is filmed entirely from the perspective a ghost inside a home a family has just moved into. From a floating point-of-view, we watch as the mysterious presence, piecing together a past trauma while observing the unfolding a new one. In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr called 'Presence' 'a heady experiment that transcends the somewhat gimmicky-on-paper premise — something Soderbergh manages to do alarmingly well and regularly.' — Tyler Perry 's latest, 'Straw,' stars Taraji P. Henson as a struggling single mother who, desperate for money to pay for her daughter's prescriptions, robs a bank. The film, co-starring Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor and Sinbad, debuts Friday, June 6 on Netflix. — For anyone still mourning the death of Gene Hackman, a new series streaming from Thursday on the Criterion Channel collects some of the late actor 's best films. That includes William Friedkin's seminal 1971 New York thriller 'The French Connection,' Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 masterpiece 'The Conversation' and Wes Anderson's 'The Royal Tenenbaums,' a movie in which Hackman's strained relationship with the director has been a subject of conversation following his death. But also don't miss Arthur Penn's 1975 'Night Moves,' a quintessential '70s neo-noir that gave Hackman one of his most indelible roles in the private eye Harry Moseby. — Film Writer Jake Coyle New music to stream from June 2-8 — Has there been a more seamless transition from TikTok social media star to full-fledged pop music force than that of Addison Rae? On Friday, June 6, she will release her debut LP 'Addison,' one of the year's most anticipated releases – from the Lana Del Rey-channeling 'Diet Pepsi' to the trip-hop 'Headphones On.' She's managed to tap into a kind of late-internet cool through a hybrid approach to pop music and a lackadaisical singing style. Could it be 'Addison' summer? Only time will tell. — Need your Cynthia Erivo fix between 'Wicked' films? She's got your back. The multihyphenate will release her sophomore LP, 'I Forgive You' on Friday, June 6, a collection of big belts and even bigger vulnerabilities, with gorgeous songs that sound as though they were ripped straight from Erivo's diary. Listen closely and carefully for maximum enjoyment. — Anyone who thinks the mainstream music listening world has lost interest in rock bands needs to simply look at Turnstile, the Baltimore hard-core punk band that could. They've largely left those harsh sounds behind and have opted for something more melodic and accessible — which is, arguably, part of the appeal for those curious parties — but they've maintained their hard-core ethos and edge. 'Never Enough' is gearing up to be the biggest release of their career so far, and we say it's time to get on board. And get in the pit. — Music Writer Maria Sherman New television to stream from June 2-8 — Ariana Madix has returned to Fiji as host of a new season of 'Love Island USA.' The new episodes have big shoes to fill. Last season was the top-rated reality series of 2024. It also broke through the cultural zeitgeist with social media memes and water cooler conversation. Madix says she's not worried about duplicating that success, and wants the contestants to focus on 'creating their own lane by being truly themselves and bringing themselves to it, you'll never lose by doing that.' The show premieres Tuesday and will air six nights a week on Peacock. — As a teenager, Kristin Cavallari was a breakout of the MTV reality series 'Laguna Beach' because of her unfiltered honesty. She's carried that with her throughout other reality shows and to her podcast 'Let's Be Honest.' Cameras rolled when Cavallari took the podcast on the road in March. That will air as the docuseries 'Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour' beginning Wednesday on E!. It streams on Peacock. — Shaquille O'Neal also has his own docuseries coming to Netflix Wednesday called 'Power Moves with Shaquille O'Neal.' It's an inside look at his efforts as president of Reebok's basketball division. Allen Iverson is vice president. Both have a history with the brand. In 1992, O'Neal signed a deal with Reebok as a rookie playing for the Orlando Magic. Iverson famously inked a lifetime deal with the brand one year prior in 1991. The series will show the two pro ballplayers work to make Reebok Basketball cool and competitive in the sneaker market. It drops Wednesday. — Get your feel-good TV fix with Apple TV+'s new show, 'Stick.' It stars Owen Wilson as Pryce, a broke and divorced former pro golfer who could use a break. He finds it in a teen phenom named Santi and volunteers to be his coach. The show is about chosen family and second chances. 'Stick' premieres Wednesday. — Alicia Rancilio New video games to play week of June 2-8 — Nintendo fans worldwide are bracing themselves for the arrival of the Switch 2, a souped-up version of the eight-year-old console with new social features meant to draw players into online gaming. The highlight of the launch lineup is Mario Kart World, which features a Grand Prix for up to 24 drivers and introduces a sprawling open environment where 'everywhere is your racecourse.' Other Day One arrivals include upgraded versions of the last two Legend of Zelda adventures, and some popular third-party games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Split Fiction will be making their Nintendo debuts. The next generation takes the stage Thursday, June 5. — Lou Kesten
