‘Bridgerton’ has been renewed for Seasons 3 and 4: Here’s what you can expect in the next installments

There are at least three more seasons of ‘Bridgerton’ on the way from Netflix. Here’s what you can expect in those seasons.

The Shonda Rhimes-produced Bridgerton series took the world by storm when it premiered last Christmas, quickly becoming Netflix’s most-watched series ever with 82 million households watching globally within its first 28 days.

With production underway for Bridgerton‘s second season, Netflix has already renewed its hit series for Season 3 and 4. Those two seasons will likely follow the third and fourth books in Julia Quinn’s series of the same name.

“From the first time I read Julia Quinn’s delicious Bridgerton series, I knew these were stories that would captivate a viewing audience,” Rhimes said in a statement. “But the evolution of this adaptation would not be a success without the many significant contributions of the entire Shondaland team. This two-season pickup is a strong vote of confidence in our work and I feel incredibly grateful to have partners as collaborative and creative as Netflix. Betsy [Beers] and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue bringing the world of Bridgerton to a worldwide audience.”

For those fans that haven’t read Quinn’s books — which you should totally do to pass the time between now and the second season premiere — I’ve got you covered for what you can expect from the upcoming second season and already-green-lit third and fourth seasons.

But first, a recap.

Sean Payton responds to news of Kevin James’ portrayal in Netflix feature

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton briefly discussed the news of Kevin James being cast to portray him in the Netflix film “Home Team.”

Plenty of people were caught by surprise at the announcement that Saints coach Sean Payton will be played by the actor and comedian Kevin James in “Home Team,” a Netflix movie inspired by Payton’s experience coaching his young son’s football team during his 2012 NFL suspension. But Payton wasn’t one of them.

“Listen, I’m at that age where I don’t really care,” Payton told ESPN’s Mike Triplett. James doesn’t have the greatest resemblance to Payton, now or at the time, when the Saints coach picked up a vigorous CrossFit fad. Maybe that ends up becoming a plot point.

Payton explained the backstory to Triplett; his daughter Meghan is dating Christopher Titone, brother-in-law to Adam Sandler, a friend of James’ whose Happy Madison Productions company is behind the upcoming film. Titone sold the idea to Sandler, who tasked him with putting a script together.

NBC Sports’ Peter King reported that Payton perused the script and offered some input, and Triplett adds that the Saints’ Super Bowl-winning coach has already spoken with James about being cast in the role. Payton spoke highly of James and Sandler’s past work and anticipates them to do “a great job” in adapting his story.

But he took time to point out this won’t be a beat-for-beat retelling of his experience in exile from the NFL. The focus — and much of the comedy — will be centered on a well-known coach working with a youth team just years after winning a world championship. There’s plenty of material to work with, so it’ll be fun to see how it’s all reflected through the Happy Madison lens.

Twitter reacts to Kevin James-as-Sean Payton news

Saints fans, supporters of rival teams, and media observers had a field day with the news that Sean Payton will be portrayed by Kevin James.

[mm-video type=video id=01f33ggm9sbz9v14pyrj playlist_id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01f33ggm9sbz9v14pyrj/01f33ggm9sbz9v14pyrj-d2a63c3f6bd98903b0025553e68c22c2.jpg]

The football world was rattled on Monday when NBC Sports’ Peter King reported that the comedian and actor Kevin James has been cast to portray Saints coach Sean Payton in an upcoming Netflix feature, which is expected to chronicle Payton’s experience coaching his son’s Pop Warner team during his 2012 suspension from the NFL. Observers on Twitter have been letting react gifs and jokes fly fast and furious, including a terrific parry by the Saints when the dirty-bird Falcons tried to get in a dig:

Report: Kevin James tabbed to play Sean Payton in upcoming Netflix movie

Happy Madison Productions has cast Kevin James to play Saints coach Sean Payton in an upcoming Netflix movie about his Bountygate suspension

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://saintswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

Well here’s a curve ball. Peter King came up with a big scoop for his “Football Morning in America” column with Pro Football Talk, reporting that the actor Kevin James has been cast as Saints coach Sean Payton in a movie for Netflix, created by Happy Madison Productions. It’s titled “Home Team,” and begins filming this year. Here’s the plot summary from King’s report:

“Imagine this: The plotline begins in 2012, when Payton is suspended for the season by commissioner Roger Goodell for the Saints’ bounty scandal, which gives Payton the chance to re-assess his life and put it in some perspective. As part of his new life, Payton becomes the offensive coach for his son Connor’s sixth-grade football team, the Warriors, in the Dallas area. (Thus, the “Home Team” title of the flick.)”

King adds that Payton has already okayed the script after proof-reading it and offering his input. The Super Bowl-winning coach has spoken often about his one-year sabbatical, joking about the struggles of facing a single wing offense while coaching his son’s Pop Warner team (forcing him to call up his mentor Bill Parcells for advice) and the frustrations of watching games like any other fan from his recliner, filling notebooks with observations.

As for James: the veteran comedian and screenwriter was a high school wrestler and football player, and rose to prominence in the lead role on “King of Queens,” a long-running CBS sitcom. This move continues his string of successful comedies with Happy Madison Productions: founded by his friend and frequent collaborator Adam Sandler, Happy Madison has featured James in movies including “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,” “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” (and its sequel), both “Grown Ups” ensembles, and a series of one-offs.

King did note that James may have to hit the weight room to accurately reflect Payton’s physique. Payton did come out of his suspension as a Crossfit junkie, even incorporating some of the techniques into the Saints’ conditioning drills, so maybe there’s some material there to build a subplot around. The film is still in pre-production, but we’ll keep an eye out once we know more about it and its cast. Maybe Sandler, David Spade, Steve Buscemi, or one of their other friends will cameo as Roger Goodell.

Video: Un recuento de ‘Luis Miguel, La serie’ antes de la segunda temporada

El domingo 18 de abril a las 7pm CT regresa la seire que nos tuvo al borde del sillón durante 2018. Ahora, al fin podremos seguir hurgando en la vida privada de Luis Miguel, con el lanzamiento de la segunda temporada de ‘Luis Miguel, la serie’. Pero …

El domingo 18 de abril a las 7pm CT regresa la seire que nos tuvo al borde del sillón durante 2018. Ahora, al fin podremos seguir hurgando en la vida privada de Luis Miguel, con el lanzamiento de la segunda temporada de ‘Luis Miguel, la serie’.

Pero mucho tiempo ha pasado desde aquel 2018. Es más, hemos sobrellevado (y lo seguimos haciendo) una pandemia desde entonces. Así que es comprehensible que hayamos perdido el hilo de qué sucedió y donde nos quedamos.

Siempre es una opción volver a ver la temporada completa para retomar el 18 de abril donde nos quedamos. Pero, si no tienes tiempo o prefieres ponerte al día más rápido, Netflix hizo el favor de hacernos un compilado de tres minutos con lo más relevante de la primera temporada.

Echa un vistazo al compilado y ponte al día antes del estreno:

Netflix is releasing a documentary about the last Blockbuster and everyone pointed out how mean that is

This is so mean…but we’re still going to watch it.

We’re getting a documentary soon about the last Blockbuster, according to Hypebeast, and that sounds pretty cool!

Blockbuster was a staple for so many folks’ childhoods in the 90’s. That was the spot every weekend — whether you were trying to get a new movie to watch or find a good video game or just wanted to hang. It was truly an era.

So it’ll be cool to hear about its rise and subsequent fall after the streaming era. But that’s the wild part about all of this — the streaming era is what ended Blockbuster.

That’s why it’s so wild that Netflix is putting this documentary together.

Yes, that’s right. The same Netflix that is one of the leaders that ushered in the streaming era that ended Blockbuster is releasing a documentary about the business that it ended. Again, THAT’S WILD.

People everywhere pointed this out and said it was so mean.
