Rumoured: Naagin Season 4 Coming In May To eExtra

Naagin is a supernatural drama about female serpents who take on the form of humans. Each season focuses on a new character and the obstacles to their happiness. The series is produced by none other than Ekta Kapoor known for shows Zee TV's long running series KumKum Bhagya (Twist Of Fate) and Kundali Bhagya (This Is Fate).

The series is currently on its sixth season on Colors TV with eExtra behind by 2 seasons. The first 3 seasons seen on both stations were the longest instalments with eExtra wrapping up the last one earlier in the year here's a summary on the upcoming season:

 

 

Manyata, a naagin princess marries Keshav, a human, thus losing her power and gives birth to Nayantara. Keshav is killed by six members of the Parekh family. Manyata escapes and waits for her daughter's 25th birthday to avenge her husband's murder. Due to the Ashlesha Nakshatra curse, she and her daughter must wait for 25 years to regain their powers.

 

There's been a lot of rumors regarding the airdate of the show. Unlike Qubool Hai, viewers didn't have to wait a year(s) for another season as eExtra is known for airing them twice in the same year particularly in the fall.

But this time, it's different apparently the show is said to replace Blue Venom Girl on May 2nd and ran until June 21st thereafter another series probably Dayan, Destructive Beauty which was scheduled to air next month will occupy.

As mentioned, it is rumoured but if the details regarding the release are true I wouldn't be surprised if some lineup changes were underway. It's pretty much a norm with the eChannels I mean June 21st has only 9 days going up and usually when there's not much time left it only signals a potential lineup adjustment.

Here's Some Details About Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug And Catnoir Season 5

The series takes place in Paris and revolves around the adventures of two teenagers, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste, who transform into their superhero personas, Ladybug and Cat Noir respectively, using magical jewels known as the Miraculous, when evil arises. All the while, Marinette and Adrien struggle with their feelings for each other, not knowing each other's secret identities – Marinette is in love with Adrien but not Cat Noir, while Adrien is in love with Ladybug but not Marinette.

Their main enemy is Gabriel Agreste, Adrien's father, who covets and attempts to steal their jewels. Using the Butterfly Miraculous as the supervillain Hawk Moth, he creates akumas, butterflies infused with negative energy, to transform Paris' everyday citizens into supervillains when they experience negative emotions.

 

 

The series has been renewed for a sixth and seventh season on Disney Channel which is expected to close in more countries for Disney+ meaning those without the streaming service will miss out.

In the fourth season, Hawk Moth gains access to almost all of the Miraculous jewels, although he loses the Peacock jewel to Félix Graham de Vanily, Adrien's aunt's son who is bitter towards the Agrestes. Ladybug and Cat Noir - once again the only two superheroes - have to retrieve the Miraculous back one by one.

When is the fifth season being released?

Season 5 of Miraculous has yet to be announced. Season 5 is expected to debut in 2022, according to rumors. Depending on the circumstances, the season could premiere in the middle of the year or perhaps late in 2022. However, there is no disputing that Season 5 is on the way, with a 2022 release date being a possibility.

 

All of this, however, is pure guesswork because the fifth season may or may not be released in 2022. However, given that the most recent season has just ended, it’s probable that the production team is working round the clock to ensure that the fifth season is ready by the middle of the year and will run until early 2023.

What is the plot of the fifth season?

Miraculous Ladybug season 5 will, of course, be inspired by the events of the fourth season, particularly in terms of the stories of the other characters in the series. The show’s creator, Thomas Astruc, said during the Hashtag Festival 2021 that the location of some episodes in season 5 of Miraculous Ladybug will be changed. It was also speculated that the storyline might wind up focusing on the Agreste family as the season’s central theme, particularly when the series moves from Paris to the Agreste Mansion.

 

 

In that regard, season 5’s main narrative may revolve around the entire Agreste family, which we already know is rather dysfunctional, especially since Adrien is Cat Noir and his father is Shadow-Moth. That said, it’ll be interesting to see how the creators play with the narrative of the father and son duo, who have no idea what each other’s secret identities are. It’s probable that the plot will delve into Gabriel Agreste’s past and motivations.

Season 5 is also expected to focus on Gabriel’s battle with his entire family, especially given his tumultuous connection with Adrien. Adrien could evolve into a villain in Season 5, especially given his relationship with his father.

Roundups #44: Mr. Bean Returns With A New Series On Netflix, Blair's Witch Might Be Getting A Reboot And The Goldbergs Renewed For A Tenth Season On ABC

Rowan Atkinson and Netflix partner up on new series

Netflix has teamed up with the legendary Mr Bean star Rowan Atkinson for a mini-series titled Man vs. Bee. The streaming giant shared the first poster of the highly anticipated series, which will feature the British comedy giant in the lead, and it is set for global release on June 24, 2022. The series will also reunite Atkinson with William Davies as writers; the two have previously worked together in Atkinson’s Johnny English trilogy.

The series has been directed by David Kerr, who was also the director of Johnny English Strikes Again. His other directorial credits include Fresh Meat, Inside No. 9, Webb Look and That Mitchell.

 

 

The series’ synopsis reads: “A man finds himself at war with a bee while housesitting a luxurious mansion. Who will win, and what irreparable damage will be done in the process?” The 10-part mini-series will have a runtime of only 10 minutes per episode.

Lionsgate reportedly rebooting Blair's Witch

One of the most iconic horrors of the last half-century, 1999's The Blair Witch Project kick-started the ever-creepy found-footage genre and redefined movie marketing strategies while it was at it.

Grainy, hand-held videotaping aside, most terrifying of all about The Blair Witch Project was that it was promoted as being real-life footage left behind by missing film students, meaning 90s audiences thought what they were witnessing in cinemas was 100% real.

What’s more, the hair-raising flick was filmed on a budget of around $20,000 but recouped approximately $250,000,000.

 

As is often the way, later Blair Witch reboots were less successful, with both 2000’s Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 and 2016’s Blair Witch being panned by critics.

The Goldbergs shocking renewal

The Goldbergs, which recently hit the 200-episode mark, will keep going as ABC has renewed the family comedy for a 10th season.

 

The renewal caps a trying year for The Goldbergs, which follows the challenges, ups, downs, twists and turns in the life of the chaotic but loving titular family during the Reagan era. In the past 13 months, the comedy lost two core cast members: George Segal, who died in March 2021 of complications from bypass surgery, and Jeff Garlin, who exited in December following multiple misconduct allegations and HR investigations.

The Goldbergs opened its current ninth season with the TV family paying tribute to late Albert “Pops” Solomon, who was played by Segal.
