10 Netflix Originals to Watch to Celebrate Being Single

'The Last of Us' season 2 trailer teases lots of terror.

We've already gotten our first look at Kaitlyn Dever's Abby (a character fans of the game love to hate), but this is the first time we've gotten to hear her — or see her Firefly pendant. We also catch a glimpse of Ellie and Dina (Isabela Merced) dancing during what appears to be an iconic game scene and Tommy (Gabriel Luna) helping defend Jackson from the infected.

While season 1 was full of earthy tones and tons of light vs. dark imagery, The Last of Us season 2 is already showing off a much more aggressive color palette with blacks and reds that underscore just how explosive things are this season (and judging by the flares, I mean that quite literally).

When can I watch The Last of Us season 2?

Yes, The Last of Us season 2 release date is coming sooner rather than later, and the show will hit Max on April 13, 2025. We're still awaiting confirmation on whether we'll get all the episodes at once, but I'm guessing it'll be another weekly release schedule to bring us from the spring through the summer.

Who's in The Last of Us season 2?

The Last of Us cast for season 2 includes Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy, Rutina Wesley as Maria, Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Spencer Lord as Owen, Danny Ramirez as Manny, Jeffrey Wright as Isaac, and Catherine O’Hara.

Is Last of Us season 2 coming?

Yes, The Last of Us season 2 is on its way! The show was renewed in January of 2023 after the pilot aired. The game sequel opens five years after the events of the first game, and Joel and Ellie's relationship has splintered because of Joel's secret: his promise that Ellie's immunity couldn't be used for a cure is actually a lie — and he murdered an entire hospital of Firefly rebels to save her life.

When Ellie finds out Joel lied to her — and when a certain someone finds out Joel's responsible for the massacre — their worlds implode.

Bella Ramsey told Vanity Fair "it’s really a story about revenge and a continuation from the first season about the dangers of unconditional love."

Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal teased to Deadline that The Last of Us team “are always going to find ways to build on the incredible source material that they have, and surprise us with how they can use that material in a different format like a television show."

What is 'Good American Family' about?

Hulu's Good American Family is actually based on a true story! This show follows Christine and Michael Barnett as they adopt a little girl with dwarfism, Natalia Grace, and the dramatic aftermath that quickly follows. From navigating Natalia's disability to potentially negating her age, Christine and Michael end up in a controversial struggle to raise their existing children, protect themselves, and move forward how they see fit.

The official logline reads:

"Told from multiple points of view, as a means to explore issues of perspective, bias, and trauma, this compelling drama is inspired by the disturbing stories surrounding a Midwestern couple who adopts a girl with a rare form of dwarfism. But as they begin to raise her alongside their three biological children, mystery emerges around her age and background, and they slowly start to suspect she may not be who she says she is. As they defend their family from the daughter they’ve grown to believe is a threat, she fights her own battle to confront her past and what her future holds, in a showdown that ultimately plays out in the tabloids and the courtroom."

Who's in the 'Good American Family' cast?

The Good American Family cast has some pretty exciting names! The main players include:

• Ellen Pompeo (Grey's Anatomy) as Kristine Barnett
• Mark Duplass (The Morning Show) as Michael Barnett
• Imogen Faith Reid as Natalia Grace
• Dulé Hill (Suits) as Brandon Drysdale

What are fans saying about 'Good American Family'?

Former Grey's Anatomyco-star Justin Chambers commented "🔥" under Vanity Fair's first look Instagram post, with fans saying:

• "I JUST FELL ON MY KNEES AT WALMART"
  
• "SHES BAAACK"
• "I really hope this film portrays what a victim Natalia truly was )):"

Where can I learn more about Natalia Grace's story?

Good American Family is based on a true story, and while you could go digging through old headlines yourself, there's a highly detailed — and highly dramatic — recent documentary you can watch instead. Max released The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, a three season documentary series that's been updated as recently as January 7, 2025. I've watched every episode, and I can't recommend it more!

Watch The Official Trailer For 'Good American Family'

The trailer starts off with the happy couple Kristine and Michael Barnett opening their home to the seemingly gentle Natalia Grace, but ends with everyone losing their grip on the truth.

Blake Lively's kids are "traumatized" by the Justin Baldoni drama.

According to Page Six (who obtained the court document), Blake Lively's "traumatized" kids have been “emotionally uprooted in ways that have substantially impacted their well-being.”

The complaint also claims Ryan Reynolds has “been affected mentally, physically and professionally by his wife’s and children’s pain," and that Blake herself has sometimes “struggled to get out of bed."

A People source already claimed she was "pretty surprised at the backlash and drama," which "felt out of control to her."

“She frequently chooses not to venture outside in public,” her complaint continues. “While she has fought to maintain her personal life and business interests, behind closed doors she has suffered from grief, fear, trauma and extreme anxiety.” And Blake and Ryan kept it pretty low-key until they made their reappearance at the SNL50 celebration.

Blake Lively told Brit + Co ahead of the movie's release that her family is "all over" the movie. (And her sister Robyn is actually in the movie, TBH).

"Motherhood influenced this — my own mother influenced this," she says. "I was lucky to be able to be involved in so many different aspects of movie, not just onscreen, on screen is the smallest amount of work that I did in this film to be honest. And I took the relationships with my mother and my sisters, or my children, and my feelings and I mean, it's all over this film."

"Moments we've had together, things we've said to each other," she continues. "And I think that's why I feel so proud and it, and it's so personal me."

And her amended complaint also features text messages about the alleged misconduct.

Blake Lively's amended complaint also features text messages she sent to a mutual friend she shares with Justin. In May 2023, she wrote, “I was gonna invite you to set tomorrow. These people. Whoa . . . It’s like HR nuts today," she says. "The both of them. I wasn’t expecting that turn. I mean it’s been present but today I came home and cried.”

"Keep your hormones to yourselves," she continues in another text. "This is not mine. I don’t want it. I don’t want you [sic] gaze or words or tongue or videos of your naked wife. Yeah. It’s shocking. Clowns.”

The publishing of these text messages came after Justin published his own amended complaint and timeline of events on his website — including a text hyping up Blake's postpartum body.

"I want you to know, you will look amazing. Anything you are insecure about we will talk through and get creative together and make you comfortable," he says in a text the month Blake gave birth to Olin. "I just don't want you to stress about your body. It's the last thing you need. As soon as I have a rough schedule that's even remotely accurate I'll share and I'll make sure the team keeps this in mind as well."
