Weak Hero Class Season 3: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
Alright, Weak Hero Class fans, let's talk about the one thing keeping us all up at night: Weak Hero Class Season 3. After that gut-punch of a second season hit Netflix on April 25, 2025, we're not the only ones refreshing X for updates. The cliffhanger, the feels, those insane fight scenes—Season 2 left us desperate for more of Yeon Si-eun and his Eunjang High crew. So, what do we know about Season 3? From release date guesses to cast rumors and plot theories, here's the scoop on everything buzzing around this K-drama gem. Release Date Speculation for Weak Hero Class Season 3
Trying to pin down a release date without an official announcement is like guessing the weather a year out, but let's give it a shot. Weak Hero Class 2 got announced in December 2023, filmed through mid-2024, and landed in April 2025. That's roughly a 16-month turnaround. If Netflix gives the go-ahead by, say, December 2025, we could be looking at a late 2026 release if they hustle. But, real talk, the three-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2 makes me think 2027 is more likely. Expected Cast for Weak Hero Class Season 3
If Season 3 happens (and it better), the core gang should be back, judging by how Season 2 wrapped. Here's our take on who we'll see: Park Ji-hoon as Yeon Si-eun
Choi Hyun-wook as Ahn Su-ho
Ryeo Un as Park Hu-min (Baku)
Choi Min-yeong as Seo Jun-tae
Lee Min-jae as Go Hyun-tak
Lee Jun-young as Geum Seong-je
We might also see Jo Jung-seok as Choi Chang-hee, the shady Cheongang gang boss who showed up at the end. He's got 'trouble' written all over him. RIP Na Baek-jin (Bae Na-ra), but I wouldn't be shocked if he pops up in flashbacks—his death was too murky to leave alone. Potential Plot for Weak Hero Class Season 3
Season 2 ended with a bang: Eunjang took down the Union, but at a cost. That mid-credits scene with Choi Chang-hee offering Seong-je control of the Union (and Seong-je saying 'nah') left our jaw on the floor. Season 3 could go so many ways. Here's what we are expecting: Si-eun's Dark Side : Park Ji-hoon pitched Si-eun going rogue after losing friends, and I'm obsessed with the idea. Imagine our quiet strategist snapping and taking on everyone—Union, Cheongang, you name it.

Su-ho and Baku Team-Up : Su-ho's back, but he's got new friends to vibe with (or clash with). Fans on X are hyping a Su-ho-Baku alliance, and we are expecting them to throw punches together in some epic fight.

New Threats : The webtoon's mostly wrapped in the show, so Season 3 might go off-book, like Kingdom did. Choi Chang-hee's gang could pull Si-eun into a bigger, scarier world of crime, way beyond high school bullies.

Baek-jin's Mystery: The show didn't explain Baek-jin's death, just hinted it was sketchy. The webtoon says car accident, but I'm betting Season 3 digs deeper.
Reddit's blowing up with theories—one fan thinks Si-eun might use his chess-master brain to outsmart a gangster like Chang-hee. Another post suggested a time jump to graduation, which could shake things up.

Netflix is quietly searching for an exec to lead its video podcast efforts as it chases YouTube
Netflix is quietly searching for an exec to lead its video podcast efforts. The streamer is chasing YouTube, which has cemented itself as a video podcast titan. Podcast listening and advertising are on the rise, and media giants are investing. Netflix is quietly searching for a podcast leader as it looks to bring video pods onto the streaming platform, two people close to the company told Business Insider. Netflix had previously explored potential deals with podcasters as it sought new areas of growth, as BI first reported. The hunt for an exec to lead a video podcasting effort shows how seriously Netflix is taking the space. The streamer's interest comes as rival YouTube has cemented itself as a living-room fixture and video podcasting powerhouse. Netflix has also shown interest in creator content more broadly. "We're really excited about 'The Sidemen' and 'Pop the Balloon' and a wide variety of creators and video podcasters that might be a good fit for us, and particularly if they're doing great work and looking for different ways to connect with audiences," co-CEO Ted Sarandos said on the company's second-quarter earnings call this month. "The Sidemen" and "Pop the Balloon" are two Netflix shows that began in the creator realm. Netflix has not publicized a podcast lead job opening and declined to comment for this story. One person who had conversations with Netflix said the company wanted someone who could make video-first podcasts for a big audience. Many of today's biggest podcasts started as audio-only endeavors and later added video as audience habits changed and YouTube gained prominence. The lines between video talk shows and podcasts have increasingly blurred, and newer podcasts often now start with video in mind. It's not clear where the podcast role would sit inside Netflix. A second person who had conversations with the company said they believed it would sit in Netflix's TV and film licensing arm under Lori Conkling rather than the original content side. That could signal that Netflix might look to license existing shows, as it's done with some YouTube creators like preschool entertainer Ms. Rachel, as well as make original shows with hosts. Separate content-side hires could follow. Edison Research has charted the continued rise of podcast listening. In a new report out this week, the firm said 73% of people ages 12 and over in the US listen to or watch podcasts, up from 55% in 2020. Video is on the rise, too, with 51% of people 12 and up saying they've watched a podcast, according to Edison. Podcast advertising grew 26.4% to $2.4 billion in 2024, according to the IAB. EMARKETER projects it will top $2.5 billion in 2025. Other media heavyweights have made big moves to chase the podcast-listening audience and the advertising that can come with it. In February, Fox acquired Red Seat Ventures, which produces Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and others. Amazon paid $300 million for podcast company Wondery in 2020, The New York Times reported at the time, after snapping up audiobook company Audible in 2008.

‘Happy Gilmore 2' character's death sparks fan outrage — and a surprising cast reaction
Fans aren't happy about Happy. Spoilers below for 'Happy Gilmore 2.' The Adam Sandler sequel, now streaming on Netflix, has left viewers outraged because one beloved character from the original 1996 sports comedy classic is killed off in the film's first few minutes. 10 Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore in 'Happy Gilmore 2.'

John Angelillo/UPI/Shutterstock That character is Julie Bowen's Virginia Venit, Sandler's on-screen love interest from the first 'Happy Gilmore.' Although Happy and Virginia get married and welcome five kids together during the nearly 30-year break between the two movies, Bowen's character tragically passes away when Happy accidentally hits a shanked shot at her head during a golf tournament. Virginia's death is only shown during a montage played at the very beginning of the new golf flick, and the movie ultimately picks up with Happy effectively retired and reeling from the loss of his wife. 10 Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit and Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore in 'Happy Gilmore.'

Scott Yamano/Netflix Shortly after the sequel premiered on Netflix on Friday, July 25, viewers rushed to social media to express their outrage and slam the decision to kill off Bowen's Virginia. 'No way did they kill HER in the first ten minutes of Happy Gilmore,' one angry fan tweeted upon watching the new movie. 'Happy Gilmore 2 is a huge piece of s–t,' fumed another disappointed viewer. 'Instantly killing off the best actor is insane.' 'Bro, 3 minutes into Happy Gilmore 2 and Virginia died,' commented a third. 'Wtf kind of bs writing is that?' 10 Adam Sandler and Julie Bowen at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Happy Gilmore' on February 7, 1996. Alan Berliner/BEI/Shutterstock 'Seriously? They started off Happy Gilmore 2 by killing Virginia?' yet another angry fan wrote on X. Another Sandler fan complained about Virginia's death, as well as all the surprise celebrity cameos included in the new sequel. Besides Sandler's wife, Jackie, and daughters, Sadie and Sunny, 'Happy Gilmore 2' features appearances from Eminem, Post Malone, Travis Kelce, Kid Cudi, and more. 10 Julie Bowen and Adam Sandler at the red carpet for the Netflix 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiere at Jazz at Lincoln Center on Monday, July 21, Netflix Several real-life pro golfers, including John Daly, Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas and Rory McIlroy, also show up. 'Sorry to spoil Happy Gilmore 2, but they killed poor Virginia and brought along a whack load of dumbasses to make it an inane mess,' one fan wrote. 'This thing never happened, okay?' Meanwhile, Sandler and Bowen reacted to Bowen's shocking 'Happy Gilmore 2' death during an interview with Entertainment Weekly published shortly after the movie's release. 10 Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen and Adam Sandler in 'Happy Gilmore.' ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection The 'Modern Family' star suggested that her character needed to die to drive Happy and the events of the film. 'Happy's the best, but he did need to have something – you need to have some adversity,' Bowen, 55, explained. 'Yes, Happy is in pain,' she continued. 'And he had to get there somehow. And I contribute to the pain through the heart. I think it is very relatable and wonderful. I loved it.' 10 Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit in 'Happy Gilmore 2.' Scott Yamano/Netflix Bowen previously opened up about how she thought Sandler would recast her with a 'younger' actress. 'I didn't think they'd bring me back at all,' the actress revealed earlier this month during an episode of Michael Rosenbaum's 'Inside of You' podcast. 'I mean, who am I supposed to be?' Bowen added at the time. 'He's got to have a younger woman in this one.' 10 Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore in 'Happy Gilmore 2.' Scott Yamano/Netflix As for Sandler, who co-wrote the film with Tim Herlihy, he was just happy to return to the world of 'Happy Gilmore' after 29 years. 'You couldn't have a nicer vibe,' Sandler, 58, began. 'It was just the whole thing. There wasn't like a particular day, you didn't want any day to end.' 'You were with somebody you loved and somebody you just met that you idolized,' he continued regarding the film's many cameos. 'It was a kind of legendary shoot.' 10 Julie Bowen and Adam Sandler sit for an interview together before the release of 'Happy Gilmore 2.' foxnews 'It's a shoot that we'll never have again in our life, probably,' the comedian concluded. In addition to Sandler and Bowen, 'Happy Gilmore 2' sees Christopher McDonald (Shooter McGavin) and Ben Stiller (Hal) reprise their roles from the original. Carl Weathers, who was set to return as Derick 'Chubbs' Peterson, sadly passed away in February 2024. His death forced Sandler to rewrite the sequel's script.

‘Eddington' actor Micheal Ward charged with rape and sexual assault in U.K.
British actor Micheal Ward, known for the Netflix series 'Top Boy' and and most recently Ari Aster's movie 'Eddington,' is facing charges of allegedly raping and sexually assaulting a woman in the United Kingdom in 2023. London's Metropolitan Police announced in a Friday statement that prosecutors had charged BAFTA winner Ward, 28, with two counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault following an investigation into an alleged January 2023 incident. The statement did not provide details about the incident, including the location and the identity of Ward's accuser. 'Our specialist officers continue to support the woman who has come forward — we know investigations of this nature can have significant impact on those who make reports,' Det. Supt. Scott Ware said in the statement. Representatives for Ward did not immediately respond to The Times' request for comment Friday. The actor is due to appear at Thames Magistrates' Court in London on Aug. 28. Ward, who was born in Jamaica, broke into acting less than a decade ago, appearing in the British drama series 'Top Boy' and rapper Rapman's 2019 film 'Blue Story.' He won BAFTA's rising star award in 2020. That same year he appeared in 'The Old Guard' opposite Charlize Theron and in Steve McQueen's 'Small Axe' miniseries. His movie credits also include Sam Mendes' 'Empire of Light,' 'The Book of Clarence,' 'Bob Marley: One Love' and 'The Beautiful Game.' He currently stars as a young police officer in 'Eddington,' the latest film from 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' filmmaker Aster.
