Streaming News: ‘Black Mirror’ Return Date, Kim Cattrall to Make ‘And Just Like That’ Cameo, ‘Somebody Somewhere’ Renewed
In a somewhat surprising announcement, this week, it was announced that Kim Cattrall will make an appearance in the Season 2 finale of “And Just Like That” — but she won’t interact with the rest of the show’s cast. Cattrall, who plays publicist Samantha Jones in “Sex and the City,” is expected to make a brief cameo appearance in the Max sequel series. No other details have been released at this time, but Cattrall had previously been adamant that she would not participate in the show, preferring to pursue other roles.
Season 6 of the popular dark anthology series “Black Mirror” is set to debut on Netflix on June 15. After the first two seasons and a special aired in the United Kingdom, the series became a Netflix exclusive series for Season 3. The show features dark looks at home technology’s impact in our world. The upcoming five-episode installment will feature Aaron Paul, Annie Murphy, Danny Ramirez, Himesh Patel, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Rob Delaney, Rory Culkin and Salma Hayek Pinault.

It was also announced this week that just days after the Season 2 finale aired, Max has renewed the heartwarming series “Somebody Somewhere” for a third season. The show follows Sam (played by Bridget Everett), a Kansan who doesn’t fit the hometown mold, however hard she tries. Singing is her salvation, which helps her discover a community of outsiders that become a found family while she reconnects with her sister.
This week, Max also released a trailer for the upcoming season of “The Righteous Gemstones.” The series — which stars John Goodman, Danny McBride, Adam DeVine, and Edi Patterson — focuses on a rich, corrupt, back-stabbing evangelical family that runs a religious empire. The third season is set to premiere on the streaming service on June 18. The new season involves a standoff between the Gemstones and another religious group, along with the requisite sibling rivalry and church in-fighting.

The duo’s first album went platinum six times in 1989, and their hit “Girl You Know It’s True” sold over 30 million singles worldwide. But their fast rise to fame was accompanied by a spectacular fall when it was revealed they were not actually the voices behind the music.
