Over the past month, shows like Carrie, Crystal Lake, and VisionQuest dropped, keeping many viewers busy. But things are picking up soon. In the coming months, we’ll have the return of the final season of Yellowjackets, the third season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and more.
In the meantime, we have some shows to recommend. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is back with its second season, bringing viewers back to Night City, which looks just as incredible as it did the first time around. The romantic comedy Nobody Wants This continues to explore the romance between Joanne and Noah, who’ve just moved in together.
There are also various offerings for genre fans. Yaga, a Canadian series starring Heated Rivalry’s overnight star Hudson Williams, is inspired by the legend of Baba Yaga (but is unrelated to John Wick). Lupin returns with its fourth season, continuing the story of a charismatic con artist.
Orphan Black is streaming in full on HBO Max, making it the perfect opportunity for it to reach a wider audience. Other noteworthy shows include Phony, a comedy-mystery following a mother and son with a co-dependent relationship, and the second season of Chris Pratt’s The Terminal List. Set in the world of the Cyberpunk 2077 video game, Edgerunners is back with a second season, following a whole new cast of characters whose lives intersect in Night City.
Some of this season’s storylines include an edgerunner past his prime on a path to redemption, a teenager who wants to rebel from her Corpo family, and a cinephile trying to preserve traditional movie-making in a world where the art form has become obsolete. Across 10 episodes, director Kai Ikarashi and the teams at CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger deliver another spectacular collision of corporate cruelty, dangerous technology, and people pushing themselves past their limits. The ingredients are familiar, sometimes a little too much.
But an extraordinary ensemble and the relationships that develop among its members make this return to Night City richer, more rewarding, and downright better. Nobody Wants This has become one of Netflix’s biggest recent hits, capitalizing on Millennials’ nostalgia from two of their great teen icons: Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. The pair play Joanne, a sex podcaster, and Noah, a rabbi, who fall in love despite their different backgrounds and interests.
