Based on the critically acclaimed video game “The Last of Us,” developed by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation® platforms, the story takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel (Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.

Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker , who voiced Ellie and Joel in “The Last of Us” and “The Last of Us Part II” video games, announced that they will appear in the series playing characters different from those they voiced in the games.

Ramsey, Pascal, Johnson and Baker join Gabriel Luna ( True Detective ) as Joel’s younger brother and former soldier, Tommy; Merle Dandridge ( The Flight Attendant ) as resistance leader Marlene; and Anna Torv ( Fringe ) as Tess, a smuggler and fellow hardened survivor.

The series will guest star Nico Parker ( The Third Day ) as Sarah, Joel’s 14-year old daughter; Murray Bartlett ( The White Lotus ) and Nick Offerman ( Parks and Recreation ) as Frank and Bill, two post-pandemic survivalists living alone in their own isolated town; Storm Reid ( Euphoria ) as Riley, an orphan in Boston; and Jeffrey Pierce ( The Last of Us video games) as Perry, a rebel in a quarantine zone.

Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin serve as Co-Creators, Executive Producers, Writers and Directors. Carolyn Strauss, Evan Wells, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan, and Rose Lam are Executive Producers. Kantemir Balagov, Jasmila Žbanić, Ali Abbasi, Peter Hoar, Jeremy Webb, and Liza Johnson are Directors. The Last of Us is a co-production With Sony Pictures Television.

MENUDO: FOREVER YOUNG

FOUR-PART DOCUMENTARY
PREMIERES 24 JUNE ON BINGE

The four-part documentary Menudo: Forever Young , from filmmakers Angel Manuel Soto ( Charm City Kings ) and Kristofer Ríos ( Havana Skate Days ), will premiere all episodes on 24 June on BINGE. The documentary had its world premiere at the 2022 Tribeca Festival on 11 June in New York.

Menudo: Forever Young chronicles the rise and fall of the most iconic Latin American boy band in history, bringing viewers into the world of the popular teen idols’ global tours, magazine covers, ‘80s outfits, and screaming fangirls. But the four-part documentary reveals that behind the glitz and glamour was a web of abuse and exploitation at the hands of the band’s manager, Edgardo Diaz. Through revealing interviews with former Menudo members, the film examines how this extravagant facade was disguising serious wrongdoings by Diaz.

Soto quote: “The Puerto Rican diaspora in New York played a critical role in the success of Menudo and its crossover in the US, shutting down traffic for blocks surrounding the band’s hotel and selling out Madison Square Garden on multiple occasions. We couldn’t be more excited to premiere this series in their backyard at TriBeCa and honour their contribution to the band’s legacy.”

Executive producers are Cristina Costantini and Jeff Plunkett of Muck Media, Alex Fumero of Trojan Horse, Bryn Mooser and Justin Lacob of XTR, and Angel Manuel Soto; co-executive producers are Maura Anderson and Kristofer Rios. Directors are Angel Manuel Soto (E1-E4) and Kristofer Rios (E3, E4).

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS

PREMIERES 13 JULY ON BINGE

Staten Island’s best known vampires are back for a fourth season of What We Do in the Shadows, premiering two episodes 13 July on BINGE, with new episodes dropping weekly.

What We Do in the Shadows , based on the feature film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, documents the nightly exploits of vampire roommates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate the modern world of Staten Island with the help of their human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén).

In the shocking season three finale, Nandor, Guillermo and Nadja left Staten Island to go their separate ways while Laszlo stayed home to care for the creature that clawed its way out of the chest cavity of the deceased Colin Robinson — aka Baby Colin. This season, the vampires return to Staten Island to find their mansion on the verge of total structural collapse — and with no money to repair it.

With such terrifying locations as the secret supernatural Night Market, the Jersey Pine Barrens and a wedding altar, and with more strange beasts, surprising guest stars and tap dancing than ever, the fourth season of What We Do in the Shadows continues to make the case for blood and comedy. And this time with just a touch of home renovation.

Ahead of the Season 4 premiere, viewers can catch up on every episode of every season of What We Do in the Shadows available to stream now on BINGE.

Along with Clement and Waititi, Paul Simms, Stefani Robinson, Sam Johnson, Garrett Basch and Eli Bush serve as executive producers. FX Productions is the studio.

Price for Binge have increased from $13.99 to $15.99 from August.

So foxtel are now trying to rip off streaming viewers as well. That is not competitively priced at all given the content proposition available elsewhere for less.

Stan $2 cheaper.

Why has the BINGE Standard price increased?

The official statement from BINGE is, “The new pricing for the Standard 2 stream tier reflects the value of the second stream and ongoing investment in the BINGE product.”

The “ongoing investment” could likely refer to content deals. BINGE already has an agreement with HBO and recently renewed a deal with Sony Pictures, which will see Spider-Man: No Way Home and Ghostbusters: Afterlife drop on BINGE this month. These content deals come at great expense and costs have to be recouped at some point.

I don’t think Stan is a comparable in terms of catalogue (HBO on binge etc) it’s like saying Disney is cheaper… again the catalogues are different

Overall I’m not surprised. Foxtel will try and make Binge the new cash cow and I predict it’ll
Increase to $25 over the coming years

And they are dropping on Disney Plus. All the spiderman movies are there now

I think it ultimately comes down to what you watch. For me Binge is second, maybe third to Disney+ and Netflix.

What does annoy me about the price rise is that there has been no significant changes to the experience. The interface is still relatively clunky and there is no ability to download offline which I find frustrating.

That’s fair enough. I would rank it towards the bottom behind Netflix, Disney+, P+, Amazon then Stan. Those 5 are ahead for me. As you said, it is up to what you like watching.

according to roy morgan , foxtel which includes binge is 2nd to netflix

Not a fair comparison though given Foxtel incorporates Subscription, Binge and Kayo.

For me I’ve gotten lots of value out of the HBO content in recent times and find their film selection pretty decent. Disney+ though delivers the best value $119 a year and just content overload.

well that’s the only one at present, and it does group all of foxtel services as whole
