The new season follows Yeon Si-eun, a model student who transfers to Eunjang High School burdened by trauma after failing to protect a friend from violence. Determined never to lose another friend, he finds himself standing against even greater violence.
Portrayed by Park Ji-hoon, Yeon faces off against a mysterious new rival, Geum Seong-jae, played by Lee Jun-young. In the trailer, Yeon says remorsefully, 'Su-ho, I got into another fight. I'm sorry,' hinting at the unresolved scars from his past.
Having lost his smile and become a self-imposed outsider, Yeon struggles to stay unnoticed, but disturbing rumours soon target him.
New characters Park Hu-min (
Ryeoun ), Seo Jun-tae (Choi Min-young), and Go Hyun-tak (Lee Min-jae) approach him with kindness, telling him to ignore the gossip. Though he initially shuts the others out, Yeon slowly lowers his guard and accepts their friendship.

Meet Joy Sunday, the actress who plays Bianca Barclay in Netflix's Wednesday
Following the immense success of Wednesday, Netflix's TV spin-off of The Addams Family, in 2022, the show has finally returned to our screens. The second season's part one is now streaming, while part two will air on September 3. Continuing the adventures of Wednesday Addams (played by Hollywood's gothic Gen Z 'It' girl, Jenna Ortega ), the show will even feature a cameo from Lady Gaga. Among the students at Nevermore Academy is the queen bee herself, Bianca Barclay, played by 28-year-old Joy Sunday. Advertisement Joy Sunday plays Bianca Barclay on Netflix's Wednesday. Photo: @joysunday/Instagram In the first season, we saw Wednesday and Bianca start off on the wrong foot after the former confidently challenged Bianca to a fencing match and lost. This time around, Sunday says we'll get to see a different side to Bianca. 'I'm really happy that people get to become more intimately acquainted with her history,' she told Glamour earlier this month. 'The Bianca that I met when I first got the script versus who she is now – there's such a difference. In season one, she's kind of built a wall and acts as if she doesn't need anything. But now we get to understand … the vulnerability and insecurities that she's facing.' Here's everything to know about Joy Sunday. Joy Sunday was raised in New York Joy Sunday is a rising star in the industry. Photo: @joysunday/Instagram Born in September 1996, Joy Sunday was raised in Staten Island, New York, by her parents, who moved from Nigeria to the US in the 1970s, per Glamour. Sunday says her love of performing spawned from her love of reading, which she inherited from her father: 'I would read books to imaginary kids in my room,' she told Glamour. 'That's where I learned my first sense of pacing, character, and presence.'

Lindsay Lohan's wild ride from teen star to comeback queen: from Herbie to Freakier Friday
Freakier Friday hits theatres this weekend, marking a triumphant big-screen comeback for Lindsay Lohan , the irrepressible star of Mean Girls who has endured more than her fair share of tabloid scrutiny and infamy.

But since moving to Dubai, marrying and becoming a mum, she's rediscovered her creative spirit and re-emerged on-screen in compelling form, beginning with a trifecta of Christmas-themed Netflix films: Falling for Christmas, Our Little Secret and Irish Wish. Now, the former teen star is crowning her resurgence with the sequel to her hit 2003 film Freaky Friday, alongside co-stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Chad Michael Murray Advertisement Lindsay Lohan was doing press events in London this week for her new film Freakier Friday.

She added a pair of red Jimmy Choo Etana sandals, which added a glossy edge to her look. Advertisement Here's everything you need to know about the rising actress, who has almost ten million followers on Instagram at the time of writing. Her passion for acting began at the age of five Emma Myers, who plays Enid Sinclair in the Netflix show Wednesday, pictured in 2022. Photo: @ememyers/Instagram Myers was born on April 2, 2002, in Orlando, Florida, to lawyers Nicole Cassimatis Myers, who is American with Greek ancestry, and Jeremy Myers. She is the second eldest of four sisters and was home-schooled by her mother, who preferred her children to have a 'hands-on education', according to Variety. Although her unconventional schooling made socialising difficult, she told the publication she found friendship through theatre and dance. Her love of performing began at the age of five after she accompanied her older sister to auditions in Orlando – though her sister later chose to pursue law like their parents. Myers made her screen debut in 2010 with an uncredited part in the film Letters to God. She reportedly took a break from acting when she turned 12 due to the unpredictable nature of casting, but revisited her passion at 16 after moving to Atlanta. During that time she focused on dance, which she told Variety has helped with her stunt work as an adult. Emma Myers in a still from A Minecraft Movie. Photo: Warner Bros.
