Outer Range S2
Starts streaming: May 16
‘Outer Range’ Season 2 is coming after a long wait since Season 1 premiered in 2022. Season 2 will have seven episodes, one less than Season 1. All seven episodes will be available on May 16. Unlike Season 1, where episodes were released two at a time weekly, Season 2 will drop all at once.
Josh Brolin will return as the lead in Season 2, and we can expect to see Lili Taylor, Imogen Poots, Tamara Podemski, and Lewis Pullman again. Some characters from Season 1 might not return as regularly, but we’ve seen them in Season 2’s promotional images, so they’ll likely make appearances. There are also new cast members joining, but we don’t know much about their roles yet.
Season 2 might feel different because there’s a new person in charge. Brian Watkins, who wrote Season 1 and was the showrunner, has been replaced by Charles Murray, who has a lot of experience in TV. Also, Josh Brolin will direct one of the episodes this season.
The 1% Club
Starts streaming: May 23
Amazon Prime Video is making a new version of a British game show called The 1% Club. The original show started airing on ITV1 in April 2022. Patton Oswalt will be the host of the show, and it will also be shown on regular TV after being on Prime Video.
The show is all about testing how smart people are based on a scientific study. It’s not about what you learned in school or how much you can remember. It’s more about how your brain works, and the questions often lead to funny or interesting answers.
The creators of the show are Dean Nabarro and Andy Auerbach from Magnum Media, and it’s being distributed by BBC Studios. The executive producers are Ryan O’Dowd and Krystal Whitney from BBC Studios, Dean Nabarro and Andy Auerbach from Magnum Media, and Amazon MGM Studios. Wes Kauble is in charge of making sure everything runs smoothly as the showrunner.
The 1% Club has already been made into versions in other countries like the Netherlands, Australia, Germany, France, Israel, Spain, and Turkey.
