Watch: Family dysfunction abounds in 'Such Brave Girls' Season 2
June 23 (UPI) -- Hulu released a trailer for Such Brave Girls Season 2, a BAFTA-winning comedy series about a single mother and her two adult daughters.
The trailer, released Monday, continues the story of single mother Deb (Louise Brealey) and her adult daughters, Josie (series creator Kat Sadler) and Billie (Lizzie Davidson).
The comedy's first season, which released in 2023, earned a BAFTA for Best Scripted Comedy.
"The return of the BAFTA Award-winning family sitcom about three damaged narcissists desperate for love," the official synopsis reads. "Josie's still soul-searching (no luck yet), Billie's still on the hunt for true love, and Deb still prays for financial security - but above all, they are still hell-bent on escaping the reality of their cramped, crumbling, debt-ridden home life and find their happily ever afters."
Such Brave Girls Season 2 premieres July 7 on Hulu. All six episodes of Season 1 are now streaming.

Joy Behar on why she never thought she'd work with Barbara Walters
"The View" co-host Joy Behar worked alongside legendary broadcast journalist Barbara Walters for over two decades, a working relationship she said she never imagined would happen. Behar recalled Monday on " Good Morning America" that she was first seen by Walters when she performed stand-up at a birthday party for actor Milton Berle in the late 1990s. "After the thing, I said to my husband, 'How was it?' And he said, 'Well, everyone was laughing except Barbara,'" Behar recalled. "And I said, 'Oh, well, I'm not going to work with her ... I'll never work with Barbara Walters, so what if she wasn't laughing?'" Not long after the party, Behar said she got a call to become a co-host on "The View," a role Behar has held for nearly 30 years. Walters' creation of "The View" is just one of her many career milestones, all examined in the new documentary "Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything," streaming now on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. The documentary features the voices of those who worked closest to Walters in her groundbreaking 50-year career, including Behar and her executive producer at "20/20," David Sloan. Sloan said Monday on "GMA" that he thinks what made Walters stand out among journalists was her willingness to go there with her interview subjects. "I think it was on her ability to ask cringey questions other people might avoid, like asking [former New Jersey Gov.] Chris Christie if he was too overweight to be president, or asking [Barbra] Streisand, 'Why didn't you get a nose job?'" Sloan said. "And you kind of were cringing, but people wanted to know that kind of thing. She knew that it would be grabby, and she went there." He added of Walters' lasting impact, "She kind of taught me how to ask questions, and all of America to ask questions and be fearless about it ... with dignity." Sloan noted that many of the hard-hitting questions Walters posed to celebrities and newsmakers were a window into her own insecurities. He cited as an example the time Walters asked music superstar Taylor Swift how she would find a man as someone who is rich and famous. "That was one of her worries, 'How am I going to find someone?'" Sloan said of Walters, who married three different men in her lifetime. Walters died at age 93 in 2022. She joined ABC News in 1976, becoming the first female anchor on an evening news program. Three years later, she became a co-host of "20/20," and in 1997, she launched "The View." Her career spanned five decades, during which she earned 11 Emmy Award nominations, winning three. She made her final appearance as a co-host of "The View" in 2014, but remained an executive producer of the show and continued to do some interviews and specials for ABC News.

Does Andrea Bocelli Know the Secret Formula to Keeping Classical Music Alive?
About 9,000 people descended upon Napa Valley, California, this past weekend for a once-in-a-lifetime experience featuring one of classical music's most successful singers. Andrea Bocelli, whom fans often call the Maestro, hosted the aptly named A Weekend in Napa, treating guests to two days of music, wine, and adventures in America's wine country. 'Places like Napa allow you to have direct, respectful, and authentic contact with nature's beauty and landscapes that invite silence and reflection,' Bocelli told ELLE through a translator. 'This is an invaluable source of inspiration for me: for both my music and my private life.' Both evenings at sunset, guests attended performances by Bocelli and his frequent collaborators, including pop star Pia Toscano. At the concerts, hosted by Julianne Hough at the Charles Krug Winery, fans sang along to every word of the classics, from Giuseppe Verdi's 'La donna è mobile' to Giacomo Puccini's 'Nessun dorma,' and gave multiple standing ovations. The Grammy-winning R&B artist Babyface even performed with Bocelli for the first time, and at the end of one evening, an auction raised money for the Andrea Bocelli Foundation; the winery was filled with vendors from around Napa and hand-selected wine from Bocelli himself. 'We're talking about a splendid mosaic of rolling hills and golden vineyards that produce some of the best wines in the world,' Bocelli said of the experience. 'A land that is the cradle of hospitality, of fine living, and of good food, a place where nature and culture blend harmoniously.' Bocelli is perhaps the world's most well-known classical musician. He has released 18 albums, collaborated with pop and opera stars alike, and has toured the globe. In 2018, he earned a No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for his album, Sì, decades into his career, and his concerts always have a star-studded guest list. Last year, when he celebrated 30 years of being in the arts with a concert at his own performance venue, Teatro del Silenzio, attendees included Shania Twain, Plácido Domingo, Sofia Carson, Jon Batiste, Ed Sheeran, Will Smith, and more. His fans are ever-adoring, coming by the thousands to his events. Bocelli can sell out an arena, a rare feat for someone in his genre, and for his Napa weekend, some guests came all the way from South Africa. An attendee even paid $200,000 for a guitar that was used and signed by Bocelli. In short: The Bocelli craze is real. For classical music aficionados, Bocelli has always been a controversial figure. He's known for embracing contemporary sounds, and some opera purists have even called him a pop singer, critiquing his understanding of repertoire and vocals. Bocelli, in his own words, is a lover of music, regardless of genre. 'I prefer classical music, but I also appreciate pop, which has its own masterpieces,' Bocelli told ELLE. 'In my offerings, the main distinction I make is always between good music and bad music. The challenge is to continue to disseminate and advocate for quality, wherever it is.' Over the weekend, Bocelli aimed to create an accessible environment, offering experiences for every generation and curating a music festival-like atmosphere. This attitude is more important than ever, as opera houses work to welcome younger audiences into the fold. In the 2024 season, the Metropolitan Opera's average age for a ticket buyer was 44, down from 50 the previous season, a result of the company's efforts to produce more contemporary operas. Bocelli uses a similar approach. On his recent album, Duets, collaborators included Karol G, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande, and Dua Lipa. 'If we take our listeners by the hand, any audience will be able to discover a repertory that can touch us, amaze us, at times make us laugh, and above all, make us think,' he said. 'It is up to us artists to take the first step, when necessary, leaving the theater and meeting young people halfway, helping them see the revolutionary power of practicing beauty.' He continued: 'As an operatic singer, I want to point out how the opera itself remains still perennially current, precisely because it lets primary emotions come into play with an intensity that can break down any cultural barrier. It's a representation within everyone's reach and can 'capture' the audience at any latitude. It's a potential picklock to a better understanding of ourselves, of the strength of feelings and human relations.' As for what's next, Bocelli has a tour in the works, and he hopes to host more events like A Weekend in Napa. 'Not a day goes by without my reflecting on the privilege I have, as an artist and as a person,' he says. 'I feel at home in California, not only for the many friendships that my family and I have established here over the years, but specifically for the level of empathy I receive every day. Every time I step on stage, especially in this part of the world, I am welcomed with a warmth that truly touches me.'
