It’s the end of an era now that the final episodes of Hulu’s The Bear have dropped. The final season of the show, about a Chicago restaurant and the lovably dysfunctional people who run it, is out now. In Netflix’s new comedy Little Brother, John Cena teams up with Eric Andre for the absurd and hilarious project about two men who haven’t seen each other in years, and their reunion… doesn’t go great. And on Peacock, check out Chloe Bailey in the psychological thriller Strung, as a music teacher who can’t escape the unsettling fact that there’s something very strange about her new student’s family.
In the new Netflix comedy Little Brother, John Cena stars as Rudd, a successful real estate agent who proved the idea that no good deed goes unpunished. That’s because one day, he receives a call that his “little brother” Marcus (Eric Andres), whom he used to mentor in the Big Brother program, needs his help. It turns out, Marcus is an agent, too – of chaos, and he ends up turning Rudd’s world upside down when he reenters his life. The film arrives to Netflix Friday, June 26.
Strung, a new psychological thriller co-produced by Tyler Perry and Jason Blum, stars Chloe Bailey as a violinist who accepts a job as the music tutor to the daughter of a wealthy, prominent family. But something sinister is afoot and she begins to feel uneasy among them and soon she begins to question her safety and sanity. Strung comes to Peacock on June 26.
The fifth and final season of The Bear is here! The complete season, all eight episodes, dropped on Hulu last night, so in case you haven’t already binged them all, strap in for Carmy, Syd and Richie’s last service. Every second counts!
