Who is Anna Delvey? That’s the question at the heart of this series, created by Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal) and inspired by the true story of a young Russian woman who posed as a wealthy German heiress and managed to dupe the New York elite, extorting hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process.

Release date: February 11.

Knives Out 2

Daniel Craig may have bowed out as James Bond, but he hasn’t said goodbye to his role as private detective Benoit Blanc. He’ll be back as the character in the sequel to Knives Out, a crime comedy also starring Chris Evans and Ana De Armas, which is sure to give us a good laugh. Even better, Netflix has already signed up for a third film!

The question is now to know when we will be able to watch the next episodes… To be continued!

We can’t wait to see Eleven, who seems—from the trailer—to have moved to California!

For the fifth season of The Crown, telling the story (with some liberties) of Queen Elizabeth II and the British royal family, actress Imelda Staunton will replace Olivia Coleman in the role of the sovereign, while Elizabeth Debicki will play Lady Di, previously played brilliantly by Emma Corrin. We can’t wait to see the result, scheduled for next autumn!
