4. The Umbrella Academy
The Umbrella Academy season 2 premiered on Netflix in late July 2020. It was one of the most popular Netflix shows of the year, and it was renewed for season 3 a few months after the release date.
Well, we hadn’t heard much about The Umbrella Academy season 3 until this week. Netflix finally announced some new cast members for season 3, and they make up The Sparrow Academy! The Umbrella Academy might be in more trouble in season 3!
We shared the new cast of the season below:
- Justin Cornwell
- Justin H. Min (but playing a new character)
- Britne Oldford
- Jake Epstein
- Genesis Rodriguez
- Cazzie David
- Existential Dread Inducing Psykronium Cube
Yes, there’s a cube cast in season 3!
If you still haven’t seen The Umbrella Academy, it’s time to watch the Netflix show before the new season is released.
5. Superbad
Superbad is back on Netflix. The hit comedy was added to the streaming service on Jan. 1, 2021. It’s currently one of the most-watched Netflix movies right now. It’s currently No. 7 on the Netflix Top 10 for movies.
Superbad tells the story of Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) who want to have one last party before the end of their high school. Things don’t go as planned.
The film also stars Seth Rogen, who co-wrote the movie, Bill Hader, Emma Stone, Martha MacIsaac, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and more.
This movie is raunchy and vulgar. It hasn’t aged all that well, but it’s still quite funny.
