Netflix’s post-apocalyptic action/horror drama show ‘The Last of US’ has dropped a new trailer. We will see Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will appear in the lead role. This is a new sci-fi series that golds nine episodes along with their newly adventurous journey. Under Neil Druckman’s directional debut, the cinematic presentation along with the violent skirmishes in-game that make the series will be adaptable to movies or television.
Recently Sony and GBO declared that they had been working on The Last of Us TV adaptation in March 2020, just a few months before the exposure of The Last of Us Part II hit on PlayStation 4. This will become the first HBO adaptation of a game, and one rumour also suggests it was the largest TV production in Canadian history, the first season was shoot in Calgary, Alberta.
Neil Druckman who is known as the co-creator of the series got hugely involves, writing along with Chernobyl GB O miniseries properly we can say a feature film just like Scary Movie 3 and 4, the Hangover Part II and III, The Huntsman: Winter’s War, and definitely an upcoming Borderlands adaptation that has featured Cate Blanchett.
The story takes place twenty years after a species of cordyceps fungus spread among humanity, by turning those who inhale its toxic spores into animalistic, zombie-like infected. The first game has put the player in control of Joel. Joel is mainly a gangster inhabiting a quarantine zone in Boston, Massachusetts. There are some of the few spots of civilization still living under martial law and extreme scrutiny. Joel and his partner Tess steal, deal, smuggle, and intimidate daily to maintain a standard of comfort in the bleakest of times. They have been involved in smuggling a child named Ellie out of the quarantine zone, “What starts as a job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the US and depend on each other for survival.”
While the series sounds have a similar tone and plot to the game, creator Neil Druckmann has been clear that parts of the series can and will be different. Druckman stated that IGN discussed how the show will be similar but different. “HBO’s been great in pushing us to move away from hardcore action to focus more on the drama of the character. Some of my favorite episodes so far have deviated greatly from the story, and I can’t wait for people to see them,” he said. “Things sometimes stay pretty close. It’s funny to see my dialogue there from the games in HBO scripts, and sometimes they deviate greatly to much better effect because we are dealing with a different medium.”
In the first season, we have seen that the series is simply moving to the first game. There was a superficial thing that should a character wear the exact plaid shirt or the same red shirt. We have to find the core of who these people are along with the core of their journey. It’s true sometimes things are pretty close. It contained some pretty dialogue. Many times, they just deviate greatly too much with better effect as we have to deal with some different mediums. The first season fills with nine episodes. The series has already been charted among the most expensive TV shows. The new reports estimate about $10 million for each episode.
As an example, in the game, there is so much action you have to face to train the player on mechanics. There is more violence and more spectacle to some degree than you rather require on a TV show as there is no need to train people on using the gun.
The Last of US: Cast
The show features Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy, Merle Dandridge as Marlene, Anna Torv as Tess, Storm Reid as Riley Abel, and Nick Offerman as Bill. The short teaser confirms the show will hit next year.
The Last of US: Release Date
The Last of Us going to premiere on HBO on 15th January 2023, at 3:00 p.m. ET. The film is going to be available to stream on HBO Max.

Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes will be in England in the coming hours to complete his transfer to Wolves. The Premier League club have agreed a transfer with Flamengo, and will be paying a sum worth €17 million for the midfielder.
Once he arrives in the country and has completed his medical assessment, it will be only a matter of time before the formalities are completed and he is announced as a new player for the Midlands team.
Joao Gomes to join Wolves in the coming hours
Brazilian midfielder João Gomes will fly to England in the next hours in order to undergo medical tests and sign as new Wolverhampton player. Here we go, it’s confirmed. 🟠✈️🇧🇷 #WWFC
Wolves will pay €17m to Flamengo — also Pablo Sarabia deal will be sealed next week. pic.twitter.com/K2WdkWf7ET
Gomes will be signing a five-year deal with the team, as revealed by several sources. Liverpool and Newcastle United were in the race to sign the midfielder, but have lost out to Wolves. He revealed back in September that his biggest ambition is to play for Liverpool and in the Champions League, but that will have to wait for the time being.
With Flamengo, he won several trophies including the Copa Libertadores, and is now set to take on a new challenge in Europe.
Wolves have already spent a considerable amount of money during the January transfer window. They made Matheus Cunha’s loan deal from Atletico Madrid permanent for €50 million, and have signed Mario Lemina from Nice. Joao Gomes is set to be the next acquisition for them, followed by Pablo Sarabia from PSG for €5 million plus add-ons.
After their seemingly crazy spending spree, it remains to be seen whether they will be able to avoid relegation this season. Julen Lopetegui will have some great new players to work with, and he will be expected to deliver a return on investment in the form of safety in the top flight.
Netflix’s Sweet Magnolias are one of the best web series that has been wrapped up for the third season in 2023. The series is a feel-good show. The story of the series has been revolved around the novel by Sherryl Woods that has been premiered for the first on Netflix in may 202, and the second season is dropping in 2022.
The series mainly revolves around the novel series written by Sheryl Woods. Some mismatch is also seen between the story told in the book and what we have watched on screen, it contains a lot of source material to pull the show. We will now dive into the third season of Sweet Magnolias which follows Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue lifting each other as they have juggled relationships, family, and careers in the tiny southern town of Serenity.
Sweet Magnolias (Season 3): Renewal Status
After two months of season 2, we still get a little hope about the future of the show. We are still hoping for any such news either renewal or cancelation in early May, we just give our thumbs up for more b episodes on the way to Season 3 that’s once again are expecting 10 episodes long in length.
The confirmation has been followed by that Sweer magnolias Writers’ Twitter page tweeting:
“We are going back to Serenity, y’all! We are so thrilled to share we have season 3 of Sweet Magnolias. Can’t wait to welcome y’all home.”
This series has not been renewed ahead of time so it also can come down to the viewership and also have the “stickiness” of the show.
Sweet Magnolias (Season 3): Production Status
The production dates still need to be confirmed, the filming mat starts at any point in Summer 2022. It will once again shoot the film in Covington and Atlanta, Georgia in the US.
At the beginning of June, the entire team of the show just set out for new locations. In the Instagram post, Sheryl Anderson stated:
“Thrilled to be plotting and planning season 3, with friends, old and new!!!”
On 1st July the show star Joanna Garcia Swisher just posted on Instagram exposing that she just had dyed her hair once again to perform her role in the latest third season once again suggesting that the shooting is imminent.
Swisher said, “Maddie’s lob is back could only mean one thing…
#sweetmagnoliasnetflix #seasons 3”
It has been reported that things get underway in July 2022, along with the official Sweet Magnolias page posting that they’d begun filming on July 18th, 2022. Their post included the following caption:
“‘Shall we begin?’ So happy to be welcoming everyone home to Serenity for day one of filming Season 3 of Sweet Magnolias!”
On the announcement that the third season is in production, Sheryl J. Anderson said:
“It’s a joy, privilege, and blessing to be back in Serenity.”
Norman Buckley, who has helmed several episodes of the show, has been expected to return to the director’s chair, according to numerous posts. Buckley has continued to serve as the show’s co-executive producer.
On 3rd September 2022, Sheryl J Anderson posted that they were halfway through filming on Instagram, where the showrunner thanked a gelato stall, saying:
“Many thanks to @dulceartisangelato for helping us celebrate Halfway Day!!! Hard to believe we’ve shot half of Season 3. Time flies when you’re working with people you love!!!”
Production was confirmed to have wrapped up on October 21st, 2022.
Sheryl J. Anderson posted to confirm the wrap saying in a Tweet:
“We finished filming Season 3 last night. It’s been a joy to spend another season in Serenity, working with, laughing with, and learning from amazing artists in the cast and crew. Our community made something beautiful for you. I’m grateful to them and excited for you to see it!!!”
The Sweet Magnolias Writers’ Room also posted to confirm filming had wrapped.
Anderson has posted numerous behind-the-scenes photos throughout filming, including one on August 27th, where we see night shooting at a basketball court.

And that's a wrap on Season 3! Thank you to everyone who contributed to Serenity this year. And to everyone who's waiting: It'll be worth the wait. Promise. 🌸 photo by @sheryljandersonpic.twitter.com/oyoV1GZRsa
A press release from October 2022 states the show is set to return in Spring 2023.
Sweet Magnolias (Season 3): Release Date

Sweet Magnolias (Season 3): Expectations
We have seen that the second season concludes with a lot of unanswered questions that come with the tradition since season 1. The second season ends with a plan and conflict in the restaurant that is led by Cal to escort away in cuffs. It is also reported that someone has been returned over the main trio as the footage reveals tires have been slashed on the delivery van of Sullivan.
Helen experienced a rough ride in season 2 by facing a number of exhausting events but the season ended with her being proposed to by Ryan. It is assumed that the third season might be fueled by the decision that she makes.
In a TVLine interview, Sheryl J. Anderson gives answers to a number of questions that many have after the ending of season 2. When asked about the slashing of Dana Sue’s tires, she replied,” I will just say she has a past in common with our ladies and some other folks in town. She has been away for a while, but she has come back with an agenda. She has come home to settle some scores.”
On this topic Anderson opens up that they could patiently watch the return of Victoria and also the other troublemakers come in the future, the relationship with Dana Sue was definitely addressed in which Anderson said that the three-way dance also will like to continue as a complicated.
After speaking with Glamor, Anderson told that there is not just one sole question pointing to season 3 in comparison to season 2. However, on the renewal, he told, “I hope the main question that everybody has at the end of season 2 is: Are they going to get a season three?”
While all of us waiting for the season, Netflix is still running its book club hosted by Uzo Aduba.

In a January update, AMD quietly disclosed 31 new CPU vulnerabilities spanning its Ryzen consumer chips and EPYC data centre processors. The vulnerability update also includes a list of AGESA versions, as well as mitigations for affected processors. AMD disclosed the flaws in a coordinated disclosure with several researchers, including teams from Google, Apple, and Oracle, giving the company time to develop mitigations before the public listings.
The interesting thing here is that AMD did not announce the vulnerabilities through a press release or other means, instead simply posting the lists. The list includes AGESA revisions that AMD has distributed to its OEMs in order to patch the vulnerabilities (AGESA code is used to build BIOS/UEFI code). The availability of new BIOS patches with the new AGESA code, on the other hand, will vary by vendor.
So its better if you with your motherboard or system vendor to see if new BIOS revisions with the correct AGESA code have been posted.
AMD says it typically releases vulnerability disclosures twice a year, in May and November, but chose to release some in January due to the relatively large number of new vulnerabilities and the timing of the mitigations. It is unclear whether there will be performance penalties, as with other mitigations such as Spectre and Meltdown.
credit: AMD
Three new variants of the vulnerabilities affect the consumer-oriented Ryzen desktop PC, HEDT, Pro, and Mobile processors. One vulnerability is classified as high severity, while the other two are classified as medium or low severity.
These flaws can be exploited via BIOS hacks or an attack on the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) bootloader.
The flaws affect the Ryzen 2000-series Pinnacle Ridge desktop chips, as well as the 2000- and 5000-series APU product lines with integrated graphics (Raven Ridge, Cezanne). Furthermore, AMD’s Threadripper 2000- and 3000-series HEDT and Pro processors, as well as numerous Ryzen 2000-, 3000-, 5000-, 6000-, and Athlon 3000-series mobile processors, are affected.
AMD has also disclosed 28 EPYC processor vulnerabilities, four of which are of high severity. Three of the high-severity variants allow arbitrary code execution via various attack vectors, while another allows writing data to specific regions, which can result in data integrity and availability loss. Researchers also discovered 15 other medium-severity vulnerabilities and nine low-severity vulnerabilities.
Manchester United are undergoing a steady rebuilding phase under Erik Ten Hag. After a bumpy start to the season, the Dutchman has managed to take them in the right direction.
They are currently third in the Premier League, with 38 points and are also in contention for domestic and European silverware. Their most recent win in the Manchester derby against City helped prove a point that the team can hold up against strong opposition – including their arch rivals.
Manchester United plan to clear out squad this summer
Alongside bringing in players that align with the manager’s philosophy, United also need to clear out those that have been left out. And according to the Mirror, seven such players have been outlined – which could leave Old Trafford very soon.
*Transfer Rumours* 🔴🔴🔴Manchester United are prepared to sell Maguire, van de Beek, Wan-Bissaka and Fred in the summer transfer window, as The Telegraph said.#ManUnited priority in the summer is signing a top striker and a central midfielder.#ManUtd#MUFC#ManchesterUnitedpic.twitter.com/nBRfYg1app
Manchester United captain Harry Maguire, Phil Jones, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Donny Van de Beek, Facundo Pellistri, Fred and Scott McTominay have all been linked with transfers away.
Fred and McTominay have still had game time this season, but Wan-Bissaka and Jones have been frozen out almost completely. Van de Beek has failed to make an impact since his transfer from Ajax in 2020, and has now been ruled out with a knee injury. Next summer, he could be moving out in an attempt to revive his career elsewhere.
Maguire remains one of the most expensive defenders to have been signed in the Premier League. But, his performances have failed to live up to the hype at Old Trafford. And after his inconsistencies, he is expected to leave in the summer. But, a suitable offer will have to come in for the sale to go through.
