“Bridgerton”

- Season 3, Part 2

With the social season in full swing, more salacious romances and rumors abound. The hit Regency-era drama “Bridgerton” debuts the highly anticipated second installment of its third season Thursday, June 13, on Netflix. While Season 1 set screens aflame with the tumultuous romance between Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor, “Dickensian”) and Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page, “For The People”), Season 2 focused on the love life of Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey, “Broadchurch”), the eldest of the family’s children, and Kate (Simone Ashley, “Sex Education”), who went from butting heads to blissful marriage. Now, Season 3 has set things heating up once again with the friends-to-lovers story of Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton, “The Lodge”) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan, “Derry Girls”). After returning home from a months-long trip across Europe, Colin finds himself in a precarious position after offering his good friend Penelope lessons to help her overcome her awkwardness in social situations, find her confidence and win herself a husband. But, as the “lessons” between the friends start to bring the pair closer than ever, Penelope being courted by the handsome Lord Debling (Sam Phillips, “The Crown”) has Colin questioning what his feelings for his friend really are. Meanwhile, Penelope’s friendship with Eloise (Claudia Jessie, “Porters”) remains rocky, while Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd, “Enola Holmes 2,” 2022) shines as the queen’s diamond of the season. From Shondaland Productions and executive producers Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers and Chris Van Dusen of “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal” and “Private Practice,” the series is directed by executive producer Tom Verica (“Scandal”), Tricia Brock (“Saving Grace”) and Andrew Ahn (“This Close”).

“Brats” (2024)

ABC News Studios in partnership with NEON and Network Entertainment, presents the new, featurelength documentary film “Brats,” premiering Thursday, June 13, on Hulu. In the 1980s, a number of comingof-age films — including “St. Elmo’s Fire” (1985) and “The Breakfast Club” (1985) — took the pop culture world by storm, with the young actors in the cast of such movies being labeled the “Brat Pack.” As this new wave of ‘80s teen film connected with young audiences in a way that have never been achieved before, the actors in the Brat Pack found their careers and their lives being shaped by the label for decades.

“Director and Brat-Packer Andrew McCarthy, who rose to stardom in such films as ‘Pretty in Pink’ [1986], ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’ and ‘Less Than Zero’ (1987) and wrote the New York Times bestselling memoir ‘Brat: An ‘80s Story,’ goes right to the source, reuniting with his fellow Brat-Packers — friends, colleagues and former foes, many of whom he had not seen for over 30 years — to answer the question: What did it mean to be part of the Brat Pack?” (per ABC News Studios). Traveling all over the country, McCarthy meets up with some of his other Brat Pack members to get their perspectives, including Rob Lowe (“9-1-1: Lone Star”), Demi Moore (“Ghost,” 1990), Ally Sheedy (“WarGames,” 1983), Emilio Estevez (“The Way,” 2010), Jon Cryer (“Two and a Half Men”), Lea Thompson (“Back to the Future,” 1985) and Timothy Hutton (“Leverage”), along with directors, casting directors, screenwriters and producers who worked on these films.

The second season begins seven months following last season’s conclusion.

Davies (“Torchwood”) and directed by Jamie Donoughue (“A Town Called Malice”), will see the duo of time-and-space travelers embark on their second to last adventure of the season, with next week’s episode, “Empire of Death,” set to close this first season for Gatwa’s Doctor.

“Daddy’s Home” (2015)

Starring Will Ferrell (“Blades of Glory,” 2007), Mark Wahlberg (“Boogie Nights,” 1997) and more, the 2015 buddy-comedy film, “Daddy’s Home,” will be available to stream on Prime Video as of Sunday, June 9. Directed by Sean Anders (“Instant Family,” 2018), the film follows as the mild-mannered Brad Whitaker (Ferrell) bends over backwards to earn the love of his two stepchildren, eager to have them call him “Dad.” Brad’s best efforts are diminished, however, by the return of the kids’ tough and macho biological father, Dusty Mayron (Wahlberg), who makes it his personal mission to intimidate Brad and re-establish his role in the family home. From dogs named Tumor, to treehouses, to tirades at the fertility doctor, Dusty does all he can to drive a wedge between Brad, his ex-wife and their children, causing nonstop upheaval in the process.
