Netflix sets 'Love Is Blind,' 'Selling Sunset' and other reality TV show premiere dates
Yes, the popular streaming service has officially announced premiere dates for a half-dozen of its most popular reality titles from August through December of this year.
On the lineup is the third season of "Perfect Match," coming to the platform on Friday, August 1. In the romantic competition series, "contestants will pair up and take part in scandalous challenges designed to test compatibility and stir up drama," per Netflix. As per usual, the cast will feature some familiar faces from the reality-TV realm, including singles from "Love is Blind," "Too Hot to Handle," "Temptation Island" and more.
Later that month is the second season of "Love is Blind: UK" on Wednesday, August 13: "In the new season, UK and Ireland-based singles who want to be loved for who they are — rather than what they look like — will take a less conventional approach to modern dating by choosing someone to marry without ever meeting them," per the streamer.
October will see the premieres of both USA's "Love is Blind" season 9 (dropping on Wednesday, October 1) as well as "Selling Sunset" season 9 (Wednesday, October 29).
In terms of the latter, the new episodes bring not only new high-stakes real estate listings but also new faces: Sandra Vergara joins the O Group this season, vying for hot properties alongside returning cast members like Chrishell Stause, Emma Hernan, Nicole Young, Amanza Smith and more. (Jason and Brett Oppenheim, the brokers behind the O Group, will also be back for season 9.)
"Selling the OC," which is a spinoff series of "Selling Sunset," will also be returning for its fourth installment on Netflix on Wednesday, November 12. The offshoot series will also see new agents adding some tension to the property-pushing mix, with Fiona Belle, Ashtyn Zerboni, and Kaylee Ricciardi joining the season 4 cast.

And the real estate-themed drama will continue into December with the premiere of the second edition of "Owning Manhattan" on Friday, December 5. The new season will continue following powerhouse business mogul Ryan Serhant and his brokerage SERHANT through the 'highest highs and lowest lows' of New York City real estate. 'It's an emotional and physical roller coaster,' Serhant told Tudum about season 2. 'There are records broken — $50 and $60 million purchases. There is commercial development in the hundreds of millions of dollars.' Sounds expensive and juicy!
Given that "Love Island USA" is now over, our TV schedules are wide open for new Netflix reality drama — happy to see some of the streamer's best shows back to fill the void this summer and beyond.

29 Best TV Shows Canceled After One Season
We asked the BuzzFeed Community which canceled TV shows need to come back for at least one more season. Here's what they said: The Acolyte (2024) "People hated it because it was dark and made the Jedi look bad. Um, The Clone Wars (animated series) did that. The Jedi weren't perfect, which was the point of the show. Disney needs to finish what it started."—bmw1138 Sweet/Vicious (2016–2017) "That show was absolutely amazing and really empowered me. It's so unfair it was canceled." —kxllynxcxlx My Lady Jane (2024) "Perfect (and highly rated) season. It's the historical retelling of a queen, it has strangers/enemies to lovers/forced marriage tropes, and shapeshifters exist! Need it renewed nowww!"—grumpypumpkin44 I Am Not Okay With This (2020) "I really miss I Am Not Okay With This. They left off on a pretty huge cliffhanger."—maybbeyesmaybbeno"That show was so good and deserved at least two seasons! They left it on kind of a cliffhanger. 😥"—furrywitch58 I Love That for You (2022) "I Love That for You stars Vanessa Bayer as a woman who lands her dream job as a QVC-like host, and as a last-ditch effort to keep from getting fired, she lies about having cancer. The whole thing is funny and dark and charming, and it's actually inspired by Bayer's real-life battle with childhood leukemia."—Spencer Althouse Ghosted (2017–2018) "Everything is right about the entire cast and storyline."—vinswe Dead Boy Detectives (2024) "This show had such good queer representation, and besides, was near-perfect with their casting, and the premise was interesting as well. I genuinely do not know what possessed Netflix to cancel it."—thviony"Dead Boy Detectives deserved more time. Fans have been waiting for this show since the original duo from Doom Patrol was recast. Lukas Gage as Cat King was also iconic and ICONIC queer supernatural representation."—reneb4b1d76327"Dead Boy Detectives is a brilliant show and absolutely deserves to top this list. It is everything: fun, funny, quirky, heartfelt, and brilliantly, unapologetically queer. If you haven't seen it yet, you absolutely should. It wraps up neatly at the end of the season, with all of the major character arcs completed. It's my favorite show in years, easily."—asidian"I was absolutely GUTTED when they cancelled Dead Boy Detectives. It's such a great, solid show. Amazing acting, writing, set design, costuming, music, the works. They peppered in so many hidden details that every rewatch is rewarding. And all of that without even mentioning the stellar representation. Real bonehead move by Netflix."—purpleskull745 Teenage Bounty Hunters (2020) "I loved it and was really disappointed when it got canceled."—peacefulmoon808 Archive 81 (2022) "It had a great story that unfortunately didn't get to finish."—bougielion556 My So-Called Life (1994) "Any of these lists that don't include My So-Called Life are just wrong."—surprisedsquid571 Almost Human (2013) Pitch (2016) "Pitch deserved more than 10 episodes. Plus, it ended with a cliffhanger!"—brandonm4b1db21b4 The Brink (2015) "The Brink deserved a second season and the writers set up the second season with the ending of the first season. It had a great cast, great story, and it was hilarious. I haven't heard why HBO decided to cancel that show. I've always wanted the writers of cancelled shows to provide an outline of how the rest of the show would have played out so the fans can get some closure."—hlane09 Kindred (2022) "I know it's a book too, but it was SUCH a good show — they left that poor man in the past and just canceled the show like wtf?!?!?"—j4287b3497 How to Die Alone (2024) "A brand new one recently cancelled was How to Die Alone, created by and starring Natasha Rothwell. You might recognize her as Belinda in The White Lotus or Kelli on Insecure. Mel is a broke JFK airport employee who has never experienced love; a near-death accident inspires her to dream and live life again. It's warm, charming, and funny. I liked it a lot, watched it twice through already and am super bummed Hulu isn't picking it up."—joandough The Gates (2010) "It had one season, left on a cliffhanger, was set for Season 2, then it was axed. But man, it was a good show."—lyrablack Panic (2021) "What a great show. Plus, it has Ray Nicholson, the son of Jack Nicholson!! This show truly showed his depth into acting and out of his dad's shadow."—chrystinamecca A League of Their Own (2022) "I was heartbroken when I heard it was canceled."—ejt263"First, Prime Video said it was renewed, then only for four episodes, and finally canceled. A real gut punch to a show with such heart and potential."—buttercupbailey Night Sky (2022) "One season and then it just left us hanging. Pissed me off so much! It was really frustrating that they didn't finish it. I don't want to invest my time in TV shows anymore..."—teri_dactyl Deadly Class (2019) "I love the characters and I was so sad when I heard it was canceled."—lazyzebra25 High Fidelity (2020) "It was so irritating to only have one season."—brookemonaco Spinning Out (2020) "The plot was SO good. It was so refreshing for a teen drama to not fit the same high school cookie cutter setting. The acting was high quality, too. This show was perfectly cast, and all of the actors were so amazing. It was unreal! This show covered real issues that people deal with, like mental health. The final episode was set up to imply a second season... I really wish we had the opportunity to see it." —wallows Julie and the Phantoms (2020) "The cliffhanger was too brutal to not give us more episodes. And the MUSIC we're missing out on without a second season? Unreal omg."—denydenydeny"This was when I REALLY started distancing myself from Netflix, and I've had trust issues ever since. 😭"—lilqueenb19"They left us with a cliffhanger, and I can't accept that."—oddhouse282 Firefly (2002) "Firefly definitely should have had more seasons. Excellent writing, great characters, a western in space show."—artisticsedan585 Reboot (2022) "Reboot is a comedy about a group of actors from a 2000s sitcom whose show is getting rebooted in the present day. Much like 30 Rock, what follows is a behind-the-scenes look at 'a show within a show,' along with its highly dysfunctional cast. It's topical, clever, and just plain good."—Spencer Althouse Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (2023) "I was one of the lucky TV watchers who got to see Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies before it was canceled and taken off of Paramount+, and ooof this one hurt. This show had truly some of the most incredible performances by up and coming actors, like I was absolutely floored by the amount of sheer talent this cast possessed. Like, these writers literally gave us MULTIPLE original songs every episode, and the production quality was so incredible that it was like watching mini music videos. Not only was it just a fun take on the movie we know so well, but this series felt so much more inclusive in ways the 1978 movie wasn't. The LGBTQ+ and BIPOC storylines gave the series so much more depth, and I'm so heartbroken those arcs won't get to be explored anymore." —Lauren Garafano"Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies most definitely needs a final season. That show was very entertaining, and the only television show using a musical theme drove the show. I love it, miss it, and want it back!!!"—freshsealion58 The Society (2019) "I swear I think about this cancelation at least twice a week. It's this Lord of the Flies-esque story but set in this fictional town in Connecticut, and I ate it up. One of the things that made me so angry was that the series DID get renewed for a second season, but the renewal got reversed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like, at this point I don't even care that the cast is significantly older and it wouldn't even make sense to do a second season. I NEED IT!!!! The Season 1 cliffhanger is truly one of those TV mysteries that haunts me — I just wanna know what happened! Let me at least read the Season 2 script!! Please!!!"—Lauren Garafano"The Society needs a Season 2. I think it's unfair how its renewal was reversed despite it having a much better storyline than some shows."—savorygoat961"I have watched The Society over and over. I even watch the YouTube music videos dedicated to Campbell and Elle and Harry, etc.. I'M SO VERY DISAPPOINTED with Netflix for taking this away from us. Stop screwing around already and renew our shows!!!"—fancybutterfly176"I think about this show like three times a week. The acting was good and the mystery was good, a lot better done than a lot of shows with this nothing. I was really excited to see how it wrapped up. Also, it was fascinatingly realistic(ish). Please, even just the script for Season 2."—velaris9173 Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000) "I was devastated when Freaks and Geeks was canceled, but that was probably the best thing that could have happened to the young actors on that show. Almost all of them have become super successful and it's unlikely that would have happened if the show had gone on for a long time. Secondly, I read an interview with Paul Feig once and his plans for the second season were AWFUL. So it's just as well that it ended when it did!"—nastymagazine42"After only one season, the show didn't get the chance it deserved. It had classic lines and meme-able scenes, too. The show was set up for a second season it never got." —tessap439fbd8db"Does Lindsay follow the Grateful Dead? All of those actors were incredible, and it was such a fun vibe. Plus, I need to know what happens!"—doribullerman And finally, AJ and the Queen (2020) "As soon as you get invested in the characters, the show ends on a cliffhanger. It was something that I've never seen before on TV. I loved it." —sierram43e95c428"I need to know if they go back on the road, or did the new club ever open. You can't just leave it with them hugging in the grass after AJ found out her mom didn't write the letters!"—vikings_girl What shows do you think deserve another season? Let us know in the comments!

South Koreans are obsessed with Netflix's 'K-pop Demon Hunters.' Here's why
When South Koreans start to obsess over a movie or TV series, they abbreviate its name, a distinction given to Netflix's latest hit 'K-pop Demon Hunters.' In media headlines and in every corner of the internet, the American-made film is now universally referred to as 'Keh-deh-hun' — the first three syllables of the title when read aloud in Korean. And audiences are already clamoring for a sequel. The animated film follows a fictional South Korean girl group named 'HUNTR/X' as its three members — Rumi, Mira and Zoey — try to deliver the world from evil through the power of song and K-pop fandom. Since its release in June, it has become the most watched original animated film in Netflix history, with millions of views worldwide, including the U.S. and South Korea, where its soundtrack has topped the charts on local music streaming platform Melon. Fans have also cleaned out the gift shop at the National Museum of Korea, which has run out of a traditional tiger pin that resembles one of the movie's characters. Read more: South Korea celebrates the transformative power of 'Squid Game' Much of the film's popularity in South Korea is rooted in its keenly observed details and references to Korean folklore, pop culture and even national habits — the result of having a production team filled with K-pop fans, as well as a group research trip to South Korea that co-director Maggie Kang led in order to document details as minute as the appearance of local pavement. There are nods to traditional Korean folk painting, a Korean guide to the afterlife, the progenitors of K-pop and everyday mannerisms. In one scene, at a table in a restaurant where the three girls are eating, viewers might notice how the utensils are laid atop a napkin, an essential ritual for dining out in South Korea — alongside pouring cups of water for everyone at the table. 'The more that I watch 'Keh-deh-hun,' the more that I notice the details,' South Korean music critic Kim Yoon-ha told local media last month. 'It managed to achieve a verisimilitude that would leave any Korean in awe.' :: Despite its subject matter and association with the 'K-wave,' that catchall term for any and all Korean cultural exports, 'K-pop Demon Hunters,' at least in the narrowest sense, doesn't quite fit the bill. Produced by Sony Pictures and directed by Korean Canadian Kang and Chris Appelhans — who has held creative roles on other animated films such as 'Coraline' and 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' — the movie is primarily in English and geared toward non-Korean audiences. But its popularity in South Korea is another sign that the boundaries of the K-wave are increasingly fluid — and that, with more and more diaspora Korean artists entering the mix, it flows in the opposite direction, too. Those barriers have already long since broken down in music: many K-pop artists and songwriters are non-Korean or part of the Korean diaspora, reflecting the genre's history of foreign influences such as Japanese pop or American hip-hop. 'Once a cultural creation acquires a universality, you can't just confine it to the borders of the country of origin, which is where K-pop is today,' said Kim Il-joong, director of the content business division at the Korea Creative Content Agency, a government body whose mission is to promote South Korean content worldwide. 'Despite what the name 'K-pop' suggests, it is really a global product.' Read more: He was a huge Korean TV star. Now he's broke and lives in an amusement park In 'K-pop Demon Hunters,' Zoey is a rapper from Burbank. In addition, the soundtrack was written and performed by a team that includes producers, artists and choreographers associated with some of the biggest real-life K-pop groups of the past decade. Streaming productions are increasingly flying multiple flags, too: Apple TV's 'Pachinko' or Netflix's 'XO, Kitty' are both American productions that were filmed in South Korea. But few productions have been able to inspire quite the same level of enthusiasm as 'K-pop Demon Hunters,' whose charm for many South Koreans is how accurately it captures local idiosyncrasies and contemporary life. While flying in their private jet, the three girls are shown sitting on the floor even though there is a sofa right beside them. This tendency to use sofas as little more than backrests is an endless source of humor and self-fascination among South Koreans, most of whom would agree that the centuries-old custom of sitting on the floor dies hard. South Korean fans and media have noted that the characters correctly pronounce 'ramyeon,' or Korean instant noodles. The fact that ramyeon is often conflated with Japanese ramen — which inspired the invention of the former decades ago — has long been a point of exasperation for many South Koreans and local ramyeon companies, which point to the fact that the Korean adaption has since evolved into something distinct. It's a small difference — the Korean version is pronounced 'rah myun' — but one that it pays to get right in South Korea. The girls' cravings for ramyeon during their flight also caught the eye of Ireh, a member of the real-life South Korean girl group Purple Kiss who praised the film's portrayals of life as a K-pop artist. 'I don't normally eat ramyeon, but whenever I go on tour, I end up eating it,' she said in a recent interview with local media. 'The scene reminded me of myself.' South Korean fans have also been delighted by a pair of animals, Derpy and Sussy, which borrow from jakhodo, a genre of traditional Korean folk painting in which tigers and magpies are depicted side by side, popularized during the Joseon Dynasty in the 19th century. In the film, Derpy is the fluorescent tiger with goggle eyes that always appears with its sidekick, a three-eyed bird named Sussy. Though they have long since been extinct, tigers were once a feared presence on the Korean peninsula, at times coming down from the mountains to terrorize the populace. They were also revered as talismans that warded off evil spirits. But much like Derpy itself, jakhodo reimagined tigers as friendlier, oftentimes comical beings. Historians have interpreted this as the era's political satire: the magpie, audacious in the presence of a great predator, represented the common man standing up to the nobility. The movie is peppered with homages to Korean artists throughout history who are seen today as the progenitors of contemporary K-pop. There are apparent nods to the 'Jeogori Sisters,' a three-piece outfit that was active from 1939 to 1945 and is often described as Korea's first girl group, followed by the Kim Sisters, another three-piece that found success in the U.S., performing in Las Vegas and appearing on "The Ed Sullivan Show." Longtime K-pop fans might recognize the demon hunters from the 1990s as S.E.S., a pioneering girl group formed by S.M. Entertainment, the label behind present-day superstars Aespa and Red Velvet. (Bada, S.E.S.'s main vocalist, recently covered 'Golden,' the film's headline track, on YouTube.) For a long time, South Korean audiences have often complained about outside depictions of the country as inauthentic and out of touch. Not anymore. 'Korea wasn't just shown as an extra add-on as it has been for so long,' Kim said. ''K-pop Demon Hunters' did such a great job depicting Korea in a way that made it instantly recognizable to audiences here.'

Armisen, who plays Uncle Fester on the series, spoke to PEOPLE exclusively while attending the Wednesday season 2, Part One World Premiere in London on July 30. During the conversation at Central Hall Westminster, the SNL alum shares that Ortega, 22, inspired him to be more 'meticulous' and 'pay attention' as a scene partner. "It's great watching Jenna, because she keeps track of the script in this way that she understands the logic of her character,' Armisen, 58, says. He adds, 'It's not like she just shows up and it's like, 'I'm just gonna do this character.' She's like, 'Why does this moment count? So she's very meticulous, and it makes me want to be more like her. I'm like, 'No, I gotta [...] pay attention.' ' The comedian goes on to share one of his favorite behind-the-scenes moments while filming the upcoming season. 'There was a scene in the insane asylum, and it's raining and it really felt like 'Wow. I'm really on a TV show,' you know? This fake rain and lightning and stuff, and it, it just makes me feel like if I was a little kid watching myself, I'd be like, 'Wow, I'm really on a TV show.' ' Armisen isn't the only Wednesday actor to rave about Ortega's talent and work ethic. Season 2 star Steve Buscemi called the actress 'the best' while speaking exclusively to PEOPLE while attending the Family Dinner fundraising event hosted by Exploring the Arts in New York City in April. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

Christina Ricci — who played Wednesday in the original Tim Burton Addams Family films, and who also appears in season 1 of Wednesday as Marilyn Thornhill — echoed the sentiment while speaking to Variety back in 2022. 'Jenna is incredible," Ricci, 45, said of Ortega. "I saw some of the wardrobe photos before I went [to set], so I knew [what she looked like in character] and I was like, it's such a great modern take on Wednesday." The season 2 London premiere was a star-studded affair, with appearances by Ortega, Buscemi, Emma Myers, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Joy Sunday, Tim Burton and more. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here!
