1. “Sex Education” Season 3 (available September 17)
Why Should I Watch? If you’ve yet to discover Laurie Nunn’s charming, sex-positive Netflix series, then you’re about to have a fantastic September. Starring Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, and Gillian Anderson, “Sex Education” starts out as a show about Otis (Butterfield), the teenage son of a sex therapist (Anderson), who opens his own in-school counseling practice to help his fellow awkward students better understand their various wants and desires. Helped by his bad-girl crush Maeve (Mackey) and cheery best friend Eric (Gatwa), Otis may get in over his head from time to time — he may have the book smarts gleaned from his expert mother, but not the requisite experience — but his heart (and the show’s) is always in the right place.
Bonus Reason: Nunn’s hourlong episodes carry all the intelligence of their top-tier dramatic peers, but the teen romances,...

Netflix's dramedy Dear White People took a brand-new direction for its third season, and it seems season four will be no different. On Aug. 17, the streamer released the official trailer for its upcoming new season, which is set to premiere on Sept. 22. Season four will serve as the show's final run and it will include 10 episodes that'll be in the form of a '90s-inspired musical as the group gets ready for graduation.
"Set against the backdrop of senior year at Winchester as well as a not-so-distant, post-pandemic future, Dear White People Vol. 4 finds our characters looking back at the most formative (and theatrical) year of their lives," the show's synopsis reads. "Both an Afro-futuristic and 90s-inspired musical event, Dear White People Vol. 4 is a can't-miss, farewell experience with one pitch-perfect promise: sometimes the only way to move forward is to throw it back."

Netflix released a trailer for “Dear White People: Vol. 4,” the musical final season premiering Sept. 22, revealing that at least a portion of the season will take place in the future, while the rest will be set during the usual gang’s senior year.
In the trailer, which you can watch below, Sam White (Logan Browning) wears a highly-fashionable face mask and sits across from Lionel (DeRon Horton) as they reminisce over their senior year, when they took part in a ’90s-themed musical, titled “The Varsity Show.”
“Don’t you want that feeling back?” she asks.
Clips of their senior year show the musical moments are not relegated to the stage, with Troy (Brandon B. Bell), for example, doing his best LL Cool J in his dorm, while Reggie (Marque Richardson) sings “Virtual Insanity” at a gun range. But it isn’t all fun and games, as a new Black student...

“This is how we do it!” The cast and crew of “Dear White People” are kicking it old school with the final season of their Netflix original series, and Vol. 4 is looking a lot like the 1990s. The streaming giant announced over the summer that Justin Simien’s television adaptation would end with Season 4, and earlier this month, audiences got their first glimpse at what was going to be a musical-themed goodbye.
The first trailer for the season certainly emphasizes that music will be sung almost everywhere, whether it’s in the halls of Winchester University or on stage, where it’s traditionally housed. But the desire to return to the past for some is met with just as much urgency to forget about it by others. As the trailer shows us, the jubilant ’90s musical comes under fire from a younger generation of Ivy League students.

Exclusive: Rome Flynn (How To Get Away With Murder) has been tapped for a recurring role on the fourth and final season of Netflix’s Dear White People, from Lionsgate TV.
Based on Justin Simien’s acclaimed debut indie feature, Dear White People is set against the backdrop of a predominantly white Ivy League university where racial tensions bubble just below the surface. The satirical series — which picks up where the 2014 Sundance hit left off – follows a group of Winchester University’s students of color as they navigate a diverse landscape of social injustice, cultural bias, political correctness (or lack thereof) and activism in the millennial age.
Flynn will play David, opposite Antoinette Robertson.
He joins returning stars Marques Richardson, Logan Browning, Brandon P. Bell, Robertson, DeRon Horton, John Patrick Amedori and Ashley Blaine Featherson.
Simien created the series, serves as writer, co-showrunner and executive produces alongside co-showrunner and executive producer Yvette Lee Bowser.

Young death is tricky business. To do it justice, a movie would have to be awash in grief — and where’s the pleasure in that? The supernatural romance “Endless,” releasing on demand, tempers its mourning with lessons about mortality delivered by a couple of guys stuck on the other side. It’s a cheat, to be sure. But when the screenplay could have easily marooned the audience in a copycat purgatory.
When boyfriend Chris (Hamilton) dies, Riley (Shipp) blames herself for the wreck that killed him. Chris had been the laid-back champion of Riley’s artistic ambitions. He saw and nurtured her most authentic self. Riley’s parents, both lawyers, had plotted a Type-a trajectory for their only child. A graduating senior headed to her parent’s alma mater and then onto law school, Riley found in Chris’ embrace room to breathe, to draw graphic novellas, to just be. And now he’s gone.

Such is the question posed by Scott Speer’s “Endless” — and hopefully, no one else ever — a teen-centric interrogation of the possibility of life after death. Riley (Alexandra Shipp) and Chris (Nicholas Hamilton) don’t make much sense on paper, but the recent high school graduates are deeply in love, a point driven home during the film’s voiceover-heavy opening sequence, in which Riley expounds on their differences (she loves art! he likes motorcycles!) that somehow make them stronger.
Soon, however, they are torn apart, though not in the way Georgetown-bound Riley expects. Riley’s parents don’t dig Chris, and his panache for hauling off their just-graduated high schooler to college parties thrown by their friends (also recently graduated!) isn’t helping matters.
Tragedy strikes, and Chris — a sweet boy, but one defined entirely by his choice of vehicular transportation and leather jacket to match — is killed in a terrible accident.

The 2020 Emmy ballots have been released by the Television Academy, so we now know which shows, actors, etc. are in contention for this year’s golden statues. FX’s “American Horror Story: 1984” accounts for a whopping 29 entries across all competitive ballots, including 10 actors for their roles as counselors/workers at the hauntingly tubular Camp Redwood. This ninth season of the popular anthology series welcomed back fan favorites like John Carroll Lynch (as Mr. Jingles) and Emma Roberts (as Brooke Thompson) while also introducing some new blood in the form of Angelica Ross (as Nurse Rita) and Gus Kenworthy (as Chet Clancy).
This installment, which aired last September-November, is also notable for producing the show’s landmark 100th episode, which flash-forwarded a year after the massacre at Camp Redwood. Will “Ahs: 1984” continue the franchise’s winning streak at the 2020 Emmys? The first eight cycles took home 16 trophies, including acting wins...

"I hear your voice everywhere I go..." Quiver has released the official trailer for a romantic drama titled Endless, the latest from filmmaker Scott Speer, who seems to have a thing for young love films - making Midnight Sun and I Still See You before this. This is a story of connection despite tragedy: when madly in love high school graduates Riley and Chris are separated by a tragic car accident, Riley blames herself for her boyfriend's death while Chris is stranded in limbo. But miraculously they end up connecting. Both are forced to learn the hardest lesson of all: letting go. Starring Alexandra Shipp and Nicholas Hamilton, with DeRon Horton, Famke Janssen, Ian Tracey, and Eddie Ramos. This looks a bit like Ghost for a new generation, with a very handsome ghost guy reconnecting with his living love and helping her move on. Of course it's super emotional and sappy and cheesy,...

All 22,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until July 13 to cast their 2020 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for programs (save for animated documentary/nonfiction which are restricted to their peer groups). Unlike the Oscars, voters for the Emmys do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally. In the past, voters were limited in the number of programs that they could put forth. Three years ago that cap (which was usually 10 per category) was lifted.
While there has been an explosion in the number of comedy and drama series recently, the limited series genre had been almost static. There were 25 entries in 2015, 26 in 2016 and 25 again in 2017. But there has been an uptick as of late, with 33 such shows submitted in 2018, 35 last year and 41 for this awards cycle. Even so, with five nominees for Best Limited Series, the odds for each of the entries detailed below is pretty good.

Netflix’s Dear White People has been portraying racial tensions at a fictional white Ivy League university for three seasons and is set to portray them for one final run once Justin Simien and his team are able to return to filming.
Last month, it was revealed by data from research firm Parrot Analytics that the comedy had received an uptick in viewership as the Black Lives Matters protests were in full force.
Creator Simien tells Deadline that he’s pleased that his show is meeting the cultural moment but it’s under “devastating” and “tragic” circumstances. He explains how the show has been “screaming at a wall” for years.

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for the “American Horror Story: 1984” finale, titled “Final Girl.”)
“American Horror Story: 1984” ended Wednesday night with a finale that closed the story of Camp Redwood and left the dream of the ’80s to live on forever. If you liked the ninth and final episode of Season 9 (and even if you didn’t ) we have a fun fact for you about its making: “Ahs” star Zach Villa, who played the Night Stalker a.k.a. Richard Ramirez, says he didn’t get the finalized script for the episode until two weeks before it aired on FX.
“I know that the creators knew [how it was ending], I knew we were in good hands,” Villa, who was a newcomer to the franchise this season, told TheWrap. “But I didn’t see the final, final script until, I’m gonna say, like– we wrapped a week and four days before the episode...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Final Girl,” the finale episode of “American Horror Story: 1984.”
The final episode of “American Horror Story: 1984” is appropriately called “The Final Girl,” a reference to the term given to that one (usually virginal) young woman who manages to survive the massacre in most horror movies. Who was could that be this time? Brooke (Emma Roberts) was the obvious choice, although Donna (Angelica Ross) would have been great — even if she did say last week, “A black final girl? Sweetheart, they kill folks with my complexion off first.”
Before finding out who the final girl was, however, the show jumped forward to 2019, when Ben’s (John Carroll Lynch) son Bobby (Finn Wittrock) came to Camp Redwood. He ran into Montana (Billie Lourd), who made some pretty funny comments about his smartphone — because obviously she doesn’t know anything about cell phones,...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Episode 100,” the sixth episode of “American Horror Story: 1984.”
One hundred episodes is a big milestone in television these days, so kudos to “American Horror Story” for getting there. Also kudos for pulling out all the stops for this big episode — it definitely turned the construct of the season on its head.
“Episode 100” began a year later from the main events in “American Horror Story: 1984” — jumping to in 1985, where a woman in a hotel went banging on the door of a room with music blaring from inside (“Idol only plays one way — full throttle”). The Night Stalker aka Richard Ramirez (Zach Villa) answered the door and tried to drag her into the room, presumably to kill her, but Jingles (John Carroll Lynch) stopped him.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Red Dawn,” the fifth episode of “American Horror Story: 1984.”
After five episodes, “American Horror Story: 1984” is moving onto another day within the story. The sun finally came up in “Red Dawn,” but not every would-be counselor at Camp Redwood survived to see it.
“Red Dawn” started with another flashback — this time as Faux-Rita (Angelica Ross) watched her dad bring a prostitute home to disembowel in a bedroom. She caught him and found photos of the other victims, begging him to try to change because she didn’t think he could be evil. But he thought she was lying and killed himself right in front of her.
Back at camp, Faux-Rita was watching the Night Stalker (Zach Villa) float above the ground after he seemingly bit the dust. Now it was time for her to reconcile that he may have been resurrected by Satan.

The ninth season of American Horror Story has been an interesting one. Its subtitle is 1984, which tells the tale of a group of counselors being massacred at a Summer camp, à la Friday the 13th or Sleepaway Camp. But so far, it has felt very different from past seasons of the show, and we think we may have figured out why. Read on for our theory, but be warned of spoilers for the season so far.
This season more than any others has seemed very straightforward. Sure, there have been a few good reveals, like faux Nurse Rita (Angelica Ross) actually being in cahoots with Mr. Jingles (John Carroll Lynch), or Montana (Billie Lourd) being romantically involved with the Night Stalker (Zach Villa). But it still seems very much like a camp slasher movie, and that's that.
Plus, it hasn't been very scary. A few jump scares is not why...

American Horror Story 1984 Episode 3
Just when you thought things couldn't be any more confusing, American Horror Story amps up the weirdness in the weird year 1984. First, there was a real-life serial killer worked into a fictional story. Then there was a fictional serial killer who turned out to be real in the fictional story world. Now, as far as I can tell, everyone who traveled to Camp Redwood has some sort of terrible, dark secret they're just waiting to expose to the world, via action or confession, though they may not live long enough to see the repercussions of their actions fully wrought upon them.

However, nothing is ever as simple as it appears on “American Horror Story!” In this case, it turned out that the Night Stalker (Zach Villa) was at the infirmary, but it was not Mr. Jingles himself (John Carroll Lynch) but rather a couple of local teenagers donning Mr. Jingles masks who were attempting to terrorize the about-to-be-reopened camp.

American Horror Story: 1984 is officially in full swing, and so are the theories. Two episodes in, there's a lot to theorize about when it comes to Camp Redwood, especially since it feels fairly likely that somebody (or everybody) isn't telling the whole truth about their past. In the first episode, we met the new counselors at Camp Redwood, Brooke (Emma Roberts), Montana (Billie Lourd), Xavier (Cody Fern), Chet (Gus Kenworthy), and Ray (DeRon Horton), who join activities director Trevor (Matthew Morrison) and nurse Rita (Angelia Ross). The very religious Margaret Booth (Leslie Grossman) owns the camp and is reopening it, 14 years after she survived a massacre committed by...

Get ready to return to Winchester University for one final ride.
Netflix has renewed “Dear White People” for a fourth and final season, with creator Justin Simien returning as co-showrunner for the 10-episode send-off. Yvette Lee Bowser will continue as co-showrunner and executive producer.
Set against the backdrop of a predominantly white Ivy League university where racial tensions bubble just below the surface, ‘Dear White People’ follows a group of Winchester University’s students of color as they navigate a diverse landscape of social injustice, cultural bias, political correctness (or lack thereof) and activism in the millennial age.
“I’m so grateful my little indie-that-could has made it to four seasons at Netflix,” said Simien of the renewal news. “This show, along with the many talented storytellers it has brought into my orbit, has changed my life and I can’t wait to create a celebratory final volume befitting such a transformative experience.

Zach Villa joined the Ryan Murphy family this year with his role on “American Horror Story: 1984,” the ninth installment of the FX anthology series. And boy is this part a killer one — literally.
Villa portrays notorious real-life serial killer Richard Ramirez a.k.a. the Night Stalker, a man who terrorized Los Angeles in the ’80s and was convicted of thirteen counts of murder in 1989. On “Ahs:1984,” the fictionalized version of Ramirez has set his sights on Brooke (played by “Ahs” vet Emma Roberts). In the premiere, he breaks into her home and threatens her life, steals what appears to be a wedding ring and then runs off before he can be caught.

‘American Horror Story: 1984’ Recap: Season Premiere Packed Full Of Camp Horror & Slashing Nostalgia
Spoiler Alert: This recap article contains details about tonight’s season premiere episode of American Horror Story: 1984. American Horror Story: 1984 is nothing if not loyal, at least to the tropes of the title era. From its pulsating synth-music to its Let’s Get Physical fashions and slasher film cliches, AHS84 rides the death train straight back to the Reagan era.
This incarnation of the Ryan Murphy horror anthology begins with a flashback to 1970, when we see the grisly slaughter of a summer camp full of teens, three of whom have just been caught in bed doing what it is people in slasher films get slashed for. The killer, soon named Mr. Jingles for the keys that jangle as he walks, slices off the ears of all his victims – a gruesome detail that will figure into the plot later on.
Jump to 1984 and an L.A. aerobics class, loaded with pastel leggings, short shorts and feathered hair, is being led by the handsome, head-banded Xavier Plympton (Cody Fern). His class includes pals Montana (Billie Lourd), the type of good-time girl typically marked for an early exit by ’80s horror convention, and Ray (Deron Horton), who, being black, would once have been expected to make a quicker departure than even the good-time girl.
There’s also Chet (Gus Kenworthy), a hunky but failed Olympics hopeful (damned drug tests), and Brooke (Emma Roberts), the innocent new girl in town.
When Xavier suggests that they all take camp counselor jobs up at the newly reopened Camp Redwood, all but Brooke think its a good idea: L.A. has lately been terrorized by the (real life) serial killer Richard Ramirez, aka The Night Stalker. Brooke’s initial reluctance vanishes when that very night, Ramirez breaks into her new apartment, robs her of her jewelry and attempts to kill her (a well-placed frying pan to the head puts the kibosh on that).
So the five friends set out for the camp-with-a-past, but won’t arrive until they get a a creepy “turn back” warning from an even creepier gas station attendant and, ignoring his advice, proceed onward, only to mow down a hippie-ish pedestrian who utters his own cryptic warning before passing out.
Upon arriving at the camp – the kids are due the following day – the counselors meet the truth-telling Nurse Rita (Angelica Ross) and athletic director (and porn ‘stache sporting) Trevor.
Then there’s camp owner Margaret (Leslie Grossman), an ear-less survivor of the long-ago slaughter who credits Jesus for her survival (and won’t let any of the sexually rambunctious and chemically adventurous counselors forget it).
By now, the ’80s slasher tropes are coming fast and bloody. There’s an escape at the local insane asylum (that would be Mr. Jingles), the suddenly ear-less injured pedestrian ends up hanging like a slab of meat on hook, Mr. Jingles terrorizes sweet Brook, as does the Night Stalker (Zach Villa).
Two killers aren’t enough to keep Brooke from wandering outside in the middle of the night to answer the payphone, the sort of no-sense decision that made the classic slasher films such enjoyable absurdity.
And enjoyable absurdity pretty much describes this first chapter of AHS84, an episode that neatly sets up the ’80s genre conventions even if it doesn’t do much beyond mimic them. Whatever twists, spins and eccentricities Murphy has in store for his unhappy campers wasn’t much in evidence tonight, but summer’s just beginning. Who knows what horrors could happen before Labor Day?
Ahs: 1984 airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on FX.
This incarnation of the Ryan Murphy horror anthology begins with a flashback to 1970, when we see the grisly slaughter of a summer camp full of teens, three of whom have just been caught in bed doing what it is people in slasher films get slashed for. The killer, soon named Mr. Jingles for the keys that jangle as he walks, slices off the ears of all his victims – a gruesome detail that will figure into the plot later on.
Jump to 1984 and an L.A. aerobics class, loaded with pastel leggings, short shorts and feathered hair, is being led by the handsome, head-banded Xavier Plympton (Cody Fern). His class includes pals Montana (Billie Lourd), the type of good-time girl typically marked for an early exit by ’80s horror convention, and Ray (Deron Horton), who, being black, would once have been expected to make a quicker departure than even the good-time girl.
There’s also Chet (Gus Kenworthy), a hunky but failed Olympics hopeful (damned drug tests), and Brooke (Emma Roberts), the innocent new girl in town.
When Xavier suggests that they all take camp counselor jobs up at the newly reopened Camp Redwood, all but Brooke think its a good idea: L.A. has lately been terrorized by the (real life) serial killer Richard Ramirez, aka The Night Stalker. Brooke’s initial reluctance vanishes when that very night, Ramirez breaks into her new apartment, robs her of her jewelry and attempts to kill her (a well-placed frying pan to the head puts the kibosh on that).

As “American Horror Story: 1984” premieres Wednesday, fans are wondering what twists and turns the latest season of Ryan Murphy’s FX anthology series has in store for them. Though we don’t know much yet about Season 9, one thing we can tell you with almost 100% certainty is it will not include an appearance by “Ahs” alum Jessica Lange. The actress told TheWrap she doesn’t think she’ll be coming back to the franchise again after making her long-awaited return for last year’s installment, “Apocalypse.”
“I don’t think so,” Lange said in an a July interview, while discussing her Emmy nomination for reprising her Season 1 role of Constance Langdon. “I did this because it was recreating Constance, which was– for me, it was a very important time when I did that first season, ‘Murder House.'”
“But I don’t think I would want to start from scratch and create a character,...

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy has shared the opening title sequence for American Horror Story: 1984, and as you’ll see, it’s loaded with a heavy dose of ‘80s style and themes that will make you feel a little nostalgic. I totally dig it! The videos came along with the following note from Murphy:
“I am so excited to share with you the new title sequence by our longtime collaborator Kyle Cooper and our new friend Corey Vega, who ignited this concept with an original “fan” cut he posted on Twitter after the 1984 season was announced,” Murphy wrote on Instagram. “I liked it so much, I decided to bring him on board to work together with Kyle as they evolved the concept into something major. Congratulations Corey! 1980s horror never looked so good.”

Congratulations Corey! 1980s horror never looked so good. @broadway1228“

We all cope with scary stuff in our own different ways. Some people laugh, some people scream and apparently, some people sing. Billie Lourd’s returning for the upcoming season of American Horror Story: 1984 and recently revealed that she has to resort to a musical tactic in order to keep herself sane on set.
Speaking in an interview, here’s what the actress had to share:
“This one is even gorier than it ever has been before, so I need to sing ‘Africa’ literally every day all day because it’s terrifying constantly.”
The song actually fits the theme of the season extremely well. The popular track, which has been revitalized recently in pop culture due to a cover by Weezer, was released in 1982. This means it wouldn’t mess up the timeline if “Africa” is featured at one point during the next batch of episodes. Maybe Lourd’s...

Remember when September was the big month for new TV programming? (Gather ’round, children, and let Grandpa tell you about the days when there were only three networks!) Yes, the traditional pilot season is once upon us, which means laugh-tracked comedies, curious cop shows and Lost-like mysteries are once again upon us. Also on deck: Ken Burns delves into an august tradition of American music; a documentary looks at an icon’s impact on sport and culture; and an under-seen triumph returns to HBO with meticulous period recreations intact. Here are the sitcoms,...
