'Ginny & Georgia' Season 4 confirmed by Netflix: Release date, plot and cast updates
Netflix has confirmed that Ginny & Georgia will return for Season 4, continuing the story of the complex mother-daughter duo. Following the June 2025 release of Season 3, fans were left with unresolved questions, including the fate of Georgia's baby, the future of Ginny and Marcus, and whether Georgia will face justice for Tom's death. Series creator Sarah Lampert said, 'I want(ed) people to finish the season and stand up as if they just got off a ride.' She described Season 3 as the most ambitious yet, emphasising that the drama is driven by the emotional truths of its central characters. 'We care about these characters, they are messy and complicated and real.' Lampert and showrunner Sarah Glinski revealed that Season 4's official theme is 'Cycles and Origins.' Lampert added, 'We really worked in Season 3 on breaking Georgia's soul with the option of then trying to rebuild her in Season 4.' Although no release date has been announced, Lampert confirmed that work has begun in the writers' room. If the show maintains its biennial schedule, a release in the first half of 2027 is likely. Cast for Season 4 has not been confirmed, but key players from previous seasons are expected to return, including Brianne Howey, Antonia Gentry, Diesel La Torraca, and Scott Porter. Seasons 1,2, and 3 of Ginny & Georgia are now streaming on Netflix.

Predator Killer of Killers expands franchise with time-traveling animated carnage
Dan Trachtenberg, known for Prey, returns to the Predator franchise with Killer of Killers, a blood-soaked animated anthology spanning centuries. Directed by Trachtenberg and Joshua Wassung, and written by Micho Robert Rutare, the R-rated film unfolds across three time periods, blending stylized action with heavy doses of gore. Part of a growing trend to animate mature franchises, Killer of Killers joins the ranks of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, Netflix's Terminator Zero, and Disney's Star Wars: Visions. These projects aim to captivate adult audiences with bold storytelling and graphic visual styles. This latest Predator installment leans into the violence while using animation to stylize its brutality, making the carnage palatable while still intense. The first chapter introduces Ursa (Lindsay LaVanchy), a 9th-century Viking warrior haunted by trauma. When a Predator arrives, she shifts from vengeance to survival, protecting her son Anders (Damien Haas) in a battle of brawn and cunning. The second story, set in 17th-century Japan, follows two estranged samurai brothers whose long-standing feud is interrupted by a new enemy—one that forces them to put their blades and grievances to use together. Here, green Predator blood and elegant choreography heighten the tension. The final section brings viewers to World War II, where Torres (Rick Gonzalez), a Latino mechanic with pilot dreams, takes flight in a thrilling aerial showdown after a Predator wipes out his squadron. The trio ultimately joins forces for a gladiator-style final act, blending weapons and strategies from their respective eras. As with Prey, Trachtenberg's latest effort emphasizes gender and racial diversity while pushing genre boundaries.

Netflix ‘Tudum' fan event reflects studio investment in global streaming
LOS ANGELES: Netflix continues to add more live content for viewers hungry for real-time entertainment, including the Tyson vs. Paul boxing match, National Football League games and, most recently, the 'Tudum' live fan event that showcased upcoming TV shows. 'This is the first time we've done the show in this way, a live format,' Shelly Gillyard, VP of Series Marketing for the U.S. and Canada, told Reuters at the Netflix Tudum fan event last Saturday. 'Previous years was on the ground fan activations,' Gillyard added. Tudum is named after the sound that plays before each Netflix movie and series. For Netflix, is was important to ensure that they were incorporating talent from all over the world for the global fan event. More than 100 Netflix stars and creators appeared in the show hosted by actor Sofia Carson, who starred in the airport thriller 'Carry On'. The first two Tudum events took place in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2020 and in 2023. However, for 2025, it was relocated to Los Angeles, California. The 2020 Netflix Tudum in Brazil drew 50,000 people in four days and the post-COVID numbers for the 2023 Brazil Tudum were 35,000. Gillyard said the live event could take place somewhere else in the future and Netflix is focused less on where it is held and more on making it available globally. Netflix shares soar on price hikes and record subscriber gains With major titles like 'Squid Game,' 'Stranger Things,' 'Wednesday,' and 'Emily in Paris,' combined with a performance by Lady Gaga, the streamer capitalized on fan interest. One of the largest draws for viewers was the premiere date announcements for Emmy award-winning series 'Stranger Things.' The livestreamed event revealed that 'Stranger Things' will have a fifth and final season split into three parts, with part one on November 26, 2025, part two on December 25, 2025 and the series finale on December 31, 2025.
