Some Great News About ‘Your Friends And Neighbors' Season 2's Release Date
Your Friends and Neighbors Apple Apple has found yet another new hit in the form of its #1 show, Your Friends and Neighbors, which just had its season 1 finale this week. Now, there's some promising news about season 2, and not just the fact that it exists. Your Friends and Neighbors was in fact renewed for season 2 by Apple all the way back in November of 2024, way before the first season even aired, expressing a lot of confidence in the product. That's allowed an expedited production on season 2, and what we know now is that filming has already begun on season 2 as season 1 has been airing. That points to a shorter wait than the interminable gaps we get between most seasons of shows in the current streaming era. Apple wants to get more seasons out after the series was the most-watched new Apple drama ever when it premiered. Apple TV+ has a better track record with putting out timely content than many other services, including some wild examples like the non-stop production of Slow Horses, which is constantly renewed early and starts filming early. It releases every year without fail, and some gaps between seasons have even been under a year, which is unheard of. Your Friends and Neighbors Apple Filming for Your Friends and Neighbors season 1 began in April of 2024, and the show was released on April of 2025. So, by that standard, if it's filming now, we may in fact get that year-long gap we hope for, if all goes to plan. We know that season 2 will star James Marsden alongside Jon Hamm this time. Season 1 got solid reviews from both critics and audiences, an 81% and 80% score, respectively, a rare agreement. It joins Apple's long, long list of quality shows, and the under-watched service has the highest batting average of any streaming service, even if it produces less series overall. That is probably part of the reason why, honestly. If you're thinking about checking out Your Friends and Neighbors, here's the synopsis: 'After being fired in disgrace, a hedge fund manager resorts to stealing from his neighbors' homes in the affluent Westmont Village, only to discover that the secrets hidden behind the wealthy facades might be more dangerous.' Jon Hamm is on a roll this past year, starring both in this and having a high-profile supporting role in Paramount+'s hit Landman. Hamm has found steady work since his iconic turn as Don Draper in Mad Men, which ended in 2015 (hard to believe). But this may be his best era since then. We'll look for more info about Your Friends and Neighbors season 2 soon.

Of course for all the movies we've reviewed, we've also added a handy link so you can check out our full review. So without further ado, we present 10 movies to check out when you've finished watching Final Destination! The Survivor (1981) The Survivor is a psychological horror-thriller that features a slow-burn narrative and eerie atmosphere. The story centers on a man who narrowly escapes death in a plane crash, finding himself haunted by the presence of those who perished. As he struggles with survivor's guilt and paranoia, he becomes obsessed with understanding why he was the only one spared. The Survivor has a clever little on the typical horror formula, combining psychological tension with supernatural undertones. This one certainly keeps you guessing until the end, making for a compelling watch. Long Time Dead (2002) Long Time Dead is a British horror film with a supernatural twist, following a group of friends who decide to experiment with a Ouija board during a night out. What starts as a harmless game quickly turns sinister when they accidentally summon a malevolent djinn. One by one, the friends are hunted down by the vengeful spirit, and they must unravel the mystery before it claims them all. While it doesn't reinvent the genre, Long Time Dead is a fun ride, with just enough eerie moments to keep horror fans engaged. The film's blend of folklore and urban legend gives it a distinct flavour, even if this one is more polarizing than others on this list. Disturbing Behavior (1998) Disturbing Behavior is a 90's horror-thriller that explores the dark underbelly of suburban perfection. The story follows Steve, a teenager who moves to the seemingly idyllic town of Cradle Bay. Soon, he notices something off about the popular students, who exhibit unnervingly perfect behaviour after undergoing a mysterious 'program' at school. The film's blend of sci-fi horror and teen drama makes it an intriguing watch, capturing the eerie conformity lurking beneath small-town life. With its edgy atmosphere and a memorable performance by James Marsden, Disturbing Behavior taps into themes of identity, control, and rebellion really well. Its dark, moody aesthetic and suspenseful plot twists make it a nostalgic favourite for fans of 90's horror. I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) A quintessential 90s slasher, I Know What You Did Last Summer follows four friends whose lives are turned upside down after they accidentally hit and kill a man on a dark, winding road. Panicked and desperate to cover up the crime, they dispose of the body and never to speak of it again. A year later, these kids begin receiving ominous messages from someone who knows their dark secret, and a mysterious figure starts stalking them. With its memorable cast and iconic hook-wielding killer, I Know What You Did Last Summer remains a must-watch for fans of 90's horror, blending classic slasher tropes with a modern twist. Scream (1996) Directed by Wes Craven, Scream revitalized the slasher genre when it released, bringing with it a clever blend of satire, horror, and self-awareness. The story follows Sidney Prescott, a high school student whose life takes a dark turn when a masked killer known as Ghostface begins terrorizing her small town. As the bodies pile up, Sidney and her friends are forced to figure out who's behind the mask while navigating the horror movie rules that might just save their lives. What makes Scream so compelling is its ability to poke fun at horror clichés while still delivering genuinely terrifying moments. The film's meta-humor, paired with strong performances, make it both a parody and a love letter to classic slashers. Premonition (2007) Premonition is a psychological thriller that blends mystery and supernatural elements together. The story here centers on Linda Hanson, who finds her life shattered when she learns her husband has died in a car crash — only to wake up the next day and find him alive. Trapped in a disjointed timeline where days occur out of order, Linda must piece together the truth while figuring out whether she can change fate or if she's slowly losing her mind. What sets Premonition apart is its mind-bending narrative structure, keeping the audience as disoriented as Linda herself. Sandra Bullock's performance adds depth to a story that challenges the perception of reality while exploring themes of loss and destiny. Escape Room (2019) Escape Room takes the popular puzzle concept and turns it into a high-stakes game of life and death. All of this begins with six strangers receiving mysterious invitations to participate in an escape room experience, but soon realize that the rooms themselves are deadly traps designed to test their wits and survival skills. As the kids navigate increasingly dangerous challenges, they must uncover what connects them and why they were chosen. Blending elements of Saw with Cube, Escape Room is a fast-paced thriller that keeps you guessing, balancing clever puzzles with enough suspense to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. One Missed Call (2008) One Missed Call centers on a series of mysterious phone calls from the future, each predicting the recipient's gruesome death. After a string of friends receive ominous voicemails and die in horrific ways, Beth Raymond realizes that the curse is spreading. Teaming up with a detective, she must unravel the mystery before it's her turn to answer the deadly call. While the premise is intriguing, the film does struggle to maintain tension throughout. However, despite its flaws, One Missed Call taps into our fears of technology and that of the unknown, delivering a few chilling moments amidst a sea of familiar horror elements. Happy Death Day (2017) Happy Death Day puts a clever twist on the slasher genre by combining horror with a time-loop mechanic. The story follows Tree Gelbman, a self-centered college student who wakes up on her birthday — only to be murdered by a masked killer. Instead of staying dead, she wakes up again, repeating the same day. Trapped in a loop, Tree must find out who's killing her and why, learning more about herself in the process. What makes this film stand out is its refreshing blend of dark humor and horror. Produced by Blumhouse, Happy Death Day is a crowd-pleaser with a sharp script and inventive kills, making it a fun, modern slasher with just enough heart to keep you invested. Sole Survivor (1984) Sole Survivor is a cult horror that centers on Denise, the only person to survive a tragic plane crash. Trying to move on with her life, she soon realizes that something sinister is at play as eerie occurrences and ghostly apparitions begin to haunt her. As Denise's paranoia escalates, she suspects that death itself is coming to reclaim her. What makes Sole Survivor stand out is its unique take on the theme of cheating death, predating films like Final Destination but playing with a similarly eerie concept. The film blends psychological horror with supernatural elements nicely, and although its a low-budget flick, the movie's tension and eerie storytelling help to look past this.

Dunkin debuts new summer menu items
By Published: Updated: Food blogger Markie Devo previously announced the beverages' upcoming arrival in an Instagram post earlier this month, along with three other upcoming items: Orange N' Vanilla Classic Donut, Pride Donut, and Summer Munchkin Bucket. Although fans have not stopped raving about the pistachio beverage, Instagrammers insisted they would 'skip out' on purchasing the Pride Donut and slammed the chain for not introducing new coffee flavors. 'Now I can't even eat my favorite rainbow sprinkle donut bc they have to name that [expletive] "pride" seriously,' a customer wrote. 'This is so lame honestly. No new exciting coffee flavors,' another person commented. Several social media users admitted they were excited to try the new beverages coming to Dunkin'. Commenters talked about the pistachio latte the most, which is a combination of espresso and a pistachio-flavored swirl topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and waffle cone pieces that reminds them of the chain's Pistachio Coffee. This nutty-flavored beverage is also the only new offering that comes hot or iced. Starting tomorrow, medium-sized cups of the new Tropical Guyava Dunkin' Refresher will be available for $3 all day, every day. The tropical drink includes B vitamins, and is available with green tea, lemonade, or sparkling water. Fans looking for food instead of a beverage can try the Iced Strawberry Lemon Loaf, which is a lemon load with a strawberry cake swirl topped with strawberry-flavored icing. Besides new products, Dunkin' gave its fans a new commerical celebrating its $6 Meal Deal starring actors James Marsden , Charles Melton, Tramell Tillman, Gavin Casalegno, influencer Dylan Efron, and comedian Zarna Garg. Customers who take advantage of the $6 Meal Deal will receive a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with hash browns and a medium hot or iced coffee. Dunkin' Rewards members can celebrate the month of May with all new exclusive offers. The chain is starting off with a $2 10-count of Munchkins available tomorrow until May 15. Members can also earn extra points when ordering a half dozen or a dozen donuts and 25 or 50-count munchkins from May 10 to 11 to celebrate Mother's Day. Dunkin' will move on from munchkins and donuts and offer its Rewards members $3 Pretzel Sliders with a purchase of any beverage anytime between May 16 and May 31. Besides these offers, members can score 100 bonus points every Monday in May when placing an order ahead of time on the Dunkin' app. The new deals also come after Dunkin' confirmed it would stop charging customers additional money for dairy alternatives. Although fans were 'ecstatic,' they believed the change was 'inevitable' after Starbucks removed the surcharge last year. Want more stories like this from the Daily Mail?
