Yellowjackets. Season Two. Streaming Exclusively On Paramount+ From Friday, 24 March.

Paramount+ has revealed that the Emmy-nominated drama Yellowjackets has been renewed for a third season ahead of the highly anticipated second season, which premieres on Friday, 24 March.

Season one, which has a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and received seven Emmy nominations, averaged over five million weekly viewers across platforms. Produced by studio Entertainment One (eOne), the series is currently in production in Vancouver.

“With Yellowjackets’ runaway success in season one and the pent-up anticipation for season two, we wanted to maximize the momentum by fast tracking season three now,” said Chris McCarthy, President/CEO, Showtime and Paramount Media Networks.

“The show’s ambition is only exceeded by its execution, and I thank the incredible creative team behind it, including Ashley, Bart, Jonathan, and eOne, for turning this into such a success.”

Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson (Narcos), Yellowjackets stars Emmy nominee and Critics Choice Award winner Melanie Lynskey (Castle Rock), Oscar® and Emmy nominee Juliette Lewis (Camping), Emmy nominee Christina Ricci (Z: The Beginning of Everything) and Tawny Cypress (Unforgettable). Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under, Servant) and Simone Kessell (Obi-Wan Kenobi) have also joined the second season as series regulars, along with Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) in a season long guest arc.

Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, Yellowjackets is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girl soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.

Season two also stars Sophie Nélisse (The Book Thief), Jasmin Savoy Brown (The Leftovers), Sophie Thatcher (Prospect), Samantha Hanratty (Shameless), Courtney Eaton (Mad Max: Fury Road), Liv Hewson (Santa Clarita Diet), Steven Krueger (The Originals), Warren Kole (Shades of Blue) and Kevin Alves.

Yellowjackets is executive produced by Lyle, Nickerson and fellow showrunner Jonathan Lisco. Drew Comins of Creative Engine also serves as executive producer. Karyn Kusama directed the pilot.

A P+ update was pushed out a week ago with time shifting (pause, rewind and fast-forward) now available BUT only available in the US it seems given it’s only available for UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League, NWSL, Serie A and Comate.

Bit confusing for local viewers with this detail show here, and one would hope this is available down under soon.

Academy® And Emmy® Award Winner Nicole Kidman To Star In And Executive Produce Lioness.

Lioness. Paramount+ Original Series. Streaming Exclusively On Paramount+ in 2023.

Academy Award® and Emmy Award® winner Nicole Kidman is set to star in the upcoming original series Lioness alongside series leads Zoe Saldaña and Laysla De Oliveira. As previously announced, Kidman will also serve as an executive producer under her production company Blossom Films. From Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan, Lioness is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios exclusively for Paramount+.

Lioness is based on a real-life CIA program and follows Cruz Manuelos (De Oliveira), a rough-around-the-edges but passionate young Marine recruited to join the CIA’s Lioness Engagement Team to help bring down a terrorist organisation from within. Saldaña will play Joe, the station chief of the Lioness program tasked with training, managing and leading her female undercover operatives.

Kidman will play Kaitlyn Meade, the CIA’s Senior Supervisor who has had a long career of playing the politics game. She must juggle the trappings of being a woman in the high-ranking intelligence community, a wife that longs for the attention she herself can’t even give and a mentor to someone veering suspiciously close to the same rocky road she’s found herself on.

Academy Award®, Golden Globe®, SAG Award®, and Emmy® Award winner Nicole Kidman is best known for her critically acclaimed film work, including The Hours, which garnered her an Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA Award for her portrayal as Virginia Woolf. She also received Academy Award nominations for her work in Being the Ricardos, Moulin Rouge!, Rabbit Hole’ and Lion. Her other feature credits include To Die For, The Others, Eyes Wide Shut, Cold Mountain, Birth, The Paper Boy, Nine, Killing of a Sacred Deer, Beguiled, Boy Erased, Aquaman, Bombshell, and The Prom.

In television, Kidman received Emmy, Golden Globe, Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild Awards for her portrayal of Celeste in Big Little Lies. She also starred in and received several nominations for her roles in Hemingway and Gellhorn and The Undoing. Kidman also starred in Nine Perfect Strangers, and Roar, on which she also served as co-executive producer.

Kidman most recently appeared in Robert Eggers’ film The Northman, and wrapped production on an untitled romantic comedy, co- starring Joey King and Zac Efron. Kidman will also star in the upcoming drama series Expats.

Lioness will also star series regulars Jill Wagner as Bobby, a CIA Special Activities Division operative; Dave Annable as Neil, Joe’s husband and the father of their two daughters; LaMonica Garrett and James Jordan star as Tucker and Two Cups, respectively, both experienced CIA Special Activities Division operatives on Joe’s team; Austin Hébert as Randy, a tech specialist in charge of surveillance; Hannah Love Lanier as Kate, Joe and Neil’s daughter; Stephanie Nur as Aaliyah, the daughter of a billionaire businessman with ties to terrorism; and Jonah Wharton will play Tex, another member of Joe’s team.

Lioness is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Jill Wagner, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Malone and John Hillcoat.

Nothing Is Worth More Than Blood.

Last King Of The Cross. Paramount+ Australian Original Series. Exclusively Streaming Friday, 17 February On Paramount+.

Streaming exclusively on Australia’s premier streaming service from Friday, 17 February, comes Paramount+ Australian original series Last King Of The Cross, an operatic story of two brothers, John (Lincoln Younes) and Sam Ibrahim (Claude Jabbour) who organise the street but lose each other in their ascent to power.

Inspired by John Ibrahim’s best-selling autobiography of the same name, the 10 part elevated serialised drama tracks John’s rise from a poverty-stricken immigrant with no education, no money, and no prospects, to Australia’s most infamous nightclub mogul in Sydney’s Kings Cross - a mini-Atlantic City, barely half a mile long with every form of criminality on offer.

To succeed in the ruthless world of Kings Cross, John must make personal sacrifices and quash his enemies as he climbs to the top. But this all comes at a cost. For what profits a man who gains a kingdom, but loses his soul?

Adding to the local star-power, two celebrated Australian award-winning musicians, in singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke and Northlane frontman Marcus Bridge, have collaborated to dramatically re-reimagine Miller-Heidke’s multi-platinum hit The Last Day On Earth for the series. The Last Day On Earth (feat. Marcus Bridge) will be released via EMI Music Australia on January 19. Fans can use the sound on TikTok from today.

Not really excited by that trailer. Feels like it has nothing new after Underbelly.

1928

Show looks solid to me - trailer is awful. Music kills it. Totally wrong.

Feels like the 10 people got their hands on it which is weird as P+ has their own Creative Director and marketing people separate from 10.

Shows looks well shot. Some flat acting. But that Top 40 soft rock balad just takes any drama and excitement away.

Good show ruined by bad music choice in the trailer.
