Wednesday (Season 2, Part 2)

Wrap up the second season of Netflix’s most famous dark comedy supernatural series with a bang: Wednesday‘s final installment of the second season is here.

Wednesday follows Ortega in the titular role as she attends Nevermore Academy and deals with the school’s mysteries, trials, and tribulations. The second season sees her trying to prevent her roommate Enid’s death, while her brother Pugsley joins Nevermore.

Haunted Hotel

Animation meets horror and comedy in this Netflix Animation series created by Matt Roller (Rick and Morty).

Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black (Season 2)

Created and directed by Tyler Perry, Beauty In Black is a drama series that follows the lives of two women—Kimmie and Mallory—as they cross paths. Kimmie is a down-on-her-luck exotic dancer who is struggling to make ends meet, and she ends up meeting Mallory, an entrepreneur who runs a successful business but is stuck in a dysfunctional family. The plot follows a wealthy Black family at the helm of a hair care dynasty and how the two women’s lives are entangled in it.

The show includes themes of murder, blackmail, power, and greed. The second installment of the series follows the dynamics of a new family as Kimmie’s story picks up where the first season left off.

Alice in Borderland (Season 3)

The final card is on the table for the epic third season of Alice in Borderland, a Japanese dystopian survival thriller featuring deathly, high-stakes games. The series, which began airing in 2020, focuses on Ryohei Arisu and Yuzuha Usagi, who are catapulted into an empty Tokyo and, consequently, a game of life and death designed around the playing card system.

They have to defeat each game, with its difficulty denoted by a suit on a playing card, to extend their visas and stay in the world. While the second season ended on a seemingly good note, a secret reveal sets the final chapter into motion, forcing Arisu to make a difficult choice to save Usagi and face off against a formidable opponent.

Since the manga has technically been fully covered within the first two seasons of the show, the third season will be an extension of the story and original to the live-action version. Alice in Borderland is a must-watch if you like Squid Game-esque dystopian thrillers that are jam-packed with action, tricky games, and deadly stakes.

The series follows the legacy and story of the Guinness family, after the death of Benjamin Guinness, who contributed massively to the Irish beer empire’s success.

House of Guinness stars Louis Partridge (Pan, Enola Holmes), Anthony Boyle (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), and Fionn O’Shea (Normal People).
