Avenue 5 Season 2 — October 10
After a two-year-long hiatus, the near-future sci-fi comedyAvenue 5is back. In this not-so-distant future, interplanetary travel is all the rage. Rich elites have dropped the lavish sea trips in favor of space cruises. However, the luxury spaceship we’re following, Avenue 5, has malfunctioned, causing it to drift off course. Now, the supposed eight-week-long trip will take three years, and food is running out. And if that’s not worse, the ship might be heading for a collision with the sun. The result is utter chaos, confusion, and unrestrained hilarity as the ship’s passengers attempt to get back home. The sitcom offers an oddly fresh blend of sci-fi, satire, and black humor, creating a show that’s unique and satisfying to the core.Avenue 5’scast includes Hugh Laurie, Zach Woods, Josh Gad, and Lenora Crichlow, among others. Its second season is set to premiere on HBO Max October 10.

Fixer Upperis a popular reality show that follows married couple Chip Gaines and Joanna Gaines as they go around renovating old houses into awe-inspiring living spaces. The duo has been working their magic on substandard houses on HGTV since 2013. However, their most ambitious project came alive in 2019 when the Gaines purchased a hundred-year-old castle, giving it a makeover that merges the aesthetics of the past, the present, and the future. The renovated castle based in Texas has been open for guided tours since July 21 and will continue welcoming visitors till October 26. And for those of us who can’t make it, the story of the renovation is well documented to watch on HBO Max starting October 14.
The White Lotus Season 2 — TBD October 2022
The White Lotusis not an easy watch. It forces introspection upon its viewer, posing difficult questions about race, class wealth, and privileges. Even though it is loaded with socio-political commentaries,TheWhite Lotusdoesn’t come off as preachy at all. The secret lies in the show’s ability to seamlessly jump from one genre to the next, keeping its themes intact but refusing to confine itself into a categorical box. One moment, you’re watching a quirky comedy show, and the very next, it becomes a whodunnit murder mystery. So, it’s no surprise that the masterful show was nominated for 20 Emmy Awards and would return for a second season.TheWhite Lotus’ season 2 cast includes Jennifer Coolidge (the only returning actor from season 1), Aubrey Plaza, F. Murray Abraham, and Tom Hollander, to name a few. As of this writing, season 2 has no specific release date, but will release on HBO Max sometime in October 2022.
