About a year after a successful debut season, Netflix renewed the Emily Carey-led series, Geek Girl, surprising many with the late renewal considering it was among the streamer’s top performers upon its release. A premiere date for the new chapter wasn’t announced at the time, but a 2026 window has now been confirmed. A few more updates were also unveiled on Wednesday, July 16, including Season 2's filming status as well as a significant cast addition in the form of a fan-favorite British theater and Bad Education star.

Production on Geek Girl Season 2 is currently underway, The Hollywood Reporter has learned, as the cast recently celebrated the start of filming in London with an exclusive look at their first table read.

Your favorite socially awkward yet effortlessly lovable teen model, Harriet Manners, is back as filming officially kicks off on Geek Girl season 2 in London. Netflix announced this fantastic news on July 16, and we couldn't be more excited!

This production update comes just three months after Netflix announced the show's season 2 renewal. At that time, it was announced that the cast and crew would begin shooting the second season sometime in the summer of this year in the United Kingdom. Now we know that the cameras are actually rolling, and the beloved coming-of-age dramedy is back in action.

According to a Netflix press release, the cast recently gathered for the first script read-through for the second season. The streamer also released several photos from that day, including one featuring a new cast member, two showcasing returning cast members Emily Carey and Liam Woodrum, and another featuring the season 2 scripts.

It took a fair while for Netflix to greenlight Geek Girl Season 2 but cameras have now rolled...

Production is now underway on the second season of Netflix‘s Geek Girl.

The cast recently celebrated the start of filming in London with an exclusive look at their first-read through. Joining the cast for series two is British theater star Layton Williams, playing the role of Onassis.

Returning cast members include House of the Dragon‘s Em Carey as well as Emmanuel Imani, Liam Woodrum, Rochelle Harrington, and Zac Looker. Sarah Parish, Tim Downie, Jemima Rooper and Hebe Beardshall also star.

Based on Holly Smale’s internationally bestselling novels, Geek Girl follows socially awkward but endearing teenager Harriet Manners as she’s unexpectedly thrust into the fashion world — navigating runway chaos, mean girls, and personal growth along the way.

“Season two picks up as Harriet continues to juggle school life with the ever-escalating demands of modelling, friendships, and discovering who she truly wants to be,” a plot synopsis reads.

Last Sunday, AMC premiered the period adventure drama Nautilus. A loose reimagining of Jules Verne’s classic novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, this version of the titular submarine is the handiwork of labor by inmates enslaved in a private prison by the East India Mercantile Company, which in the mid-19th century is more powerful than any government. One such inmate is the man who helped its official engineer design the craft, and who becomes its captain: Nemo.

If you’re a fan of British comedy, Nemo might look very familiar to you.

A full beard can’t entirely hide his face: yes, that’s Shazad Latif, better known to fans of the Matt Berry sitcom Toast of London as the titular toast’s most impish nemesis, Clem Fandango. But if the rest of this paragraph just looks like Mad Libs, here are five reasons to get up to speed…...

It took a while, but Netflix has finally greenlit Geek Girl for a second season. There were reasons for the wait, and we will get into those in just a minute. But fans should know that there don't appear to be any issues with cast changes or who will ultimately run the show.

Most of the main players return, and that should lead to season 2 success.

After all, there is no doubt that season 1 was a massive success. The series reached the top 10 in 89 different countries. The show also reached number two on Netflix's Global Top 10, a fantastic thing for an English-language show.

A second season of Geek Girl is definitely coming on Netflix

If you haven't seen Geek Girl, here is what you should know. It is based on a series of young adult books by Holly Smale about a British teenager who is book smart but then gets...

This is news that likely few were expecting by now — Netflix has picked up a second season of British-Canadian coming-of-age series Geek Girl, starring Emily Carey. That is because the renewal comes exactly 11 months after the show’s May 30, 2024 debut. Shooting will begin in the UK this summer for a 2026 debut.

The half-hour series, based on the popular YA novels by Holly Smale, had made a strong case for renewal by spending four weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10 for English-language series, peaking at #2, reaching the Top 10 in 89 countries and amassing 28.1M views in its first seven months of release. The solid performance, coupled with a pretty modest budget and positive reviews from critics should’ve translated into a quick renewal.

So why the unusually long delay then?

A change in the series’ production credits may provide a clue. Season 1 was produced and distributed by Canada’s troubled Corus Entertainment through subsidiaries.

Lower the lights, close the curtains, and leave one headphone halfway off your ear to detect outside noise because Rory Culkin and Paris Jackson will lead the 1990s-set softcore porn comedy Skinemax. The project comes from Adam Sigal, who directs Skinemax from a script he wrote. Production for Skinemax recently wrapped in Budapest, with the film sounding like it could deliver some blush-worthy laughs.

Skinemax focuses on the softcore porn industry in 1990. You know, the decade when adult film icons like Silvia Saint, Asia Carerra, Peter North, and Jack Napier were the kings and queens of fictitious bedroom gymnastics, and adolescents prayed for scrambled channels to display even a single private part long enough to feel as if they’d won the porn lottery. Yeah, that magical time. The film follows Morgan Sands (Culkin), a failing indie film director, and his unlikely friendship with Jessie Hudson (Jackson), a popular adult film star.

The Doctor Odyssey season 1 fall finale promises not to disappoint. Let’s take a look inside the episode.

Doctor Odyssey season 1, episode 8 promises us bombshells and emergency surgeries. Of course, there are some very tropey storylines for a rather tropey show. They’re sure to add some drama and excitement, though.

Avery is pregnant in Doctor Odyssey season 1, episode 8

After that wild night a couple of episodes ago, Avery has some rather surprising news. She’s pregnant. Of course, she has no idea who the father is. At least telling the two men that she has slept with both of them won’t come as a surprise. They were both there when it happened. The question is which one the father is.

Will we see something like Boston Legal where the two men battled it out? Brad and Jeffrey were both willing to step up when they found out Denise was pregnant.

Paddington fans can now rejoice, as more projects from the film series are officially on the way.

They are planning Paddington 4 and a television series, aiming for 2027 and 2028 release dates.

One of the stars of 2023's Game of the Year has officially found his next project. A new report from Deadline revealed that Tim Downie will star in All That Glitters, a YA dramedy inspired by Shakespeare that aims to tell the story of how his work would have evolved in a more modern world. Downie joins a stacked ensemble filled out by the likes of Paul Ready, Elliot Grihault, and Mark Lavery. As one of the busiest bees in Hollywood, Downie is fresh off a 2023 with seven acting credits to his name, highlighted by his role as Gale in the highly acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3.

Exclusive: British actor Tim Downie has signed on to star in the feature film All That Glitters, a young adult comedy-drama inspired by Shakespeare and how his work may have been shaped by modern life.

Downie has joined the cast alongside Paul Ready (Motherland), Elliot Grihault (House of the Dragon), and Mark Lavery (Vikings). The pic entered pre-production this past week.

All That Glitters is billed as “a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet in a UK school setting, populated with anxious teens and TikTok scrollers.” The story follows Ryan (Grihault) who is the lighting technician for his school’s play Romeo and Juliet, directed by his dad Philip (Downie). But he struggles to keep his eye on the ball as he’s hopelessly in love with the play’s lead, Jasmine. To Ryan’s surprise, one night, the ghost of Shakespeare himself (Ready) appears in his...

The state of television consistently shifts, and even now, shows become unlikely hits overnight. A series like Baby Reindeer does not seem like a barn burner on its face, yet it defined the months of April and May for Netflix. An appetite is growing for international shows, and Hapless joins the trend of British shows coming stateside. With the release of Hapless on Peacock, showrunner, creator, and director Gary Sinyor sat down with Fandomwire to discuss the comedy series. Along the way, we discussed its roots, his background when approaching the show, and his push to make more Hapless in the future.

The Origins of Hapless

Sinyor had helmed several movies and episodes of television before kicking off Hapless. Sinyor explains, “I think the biggest difference isn’t necessarily between TV and film, but between working with a large crew or working with a very tight small crew. And I...

Geek Girl, the new Netflix show led by House of the Dragon actor Emily Carey, is climbing the streamer's global charts.

Now, with the well-reviewed Geek Girl, Carey steps into the spotlight and takes the lead role.

One of the trickiest aspects of HBO’s House of the Dragon was the way viewers spent roughly half of the drama’s first season with “younger” versions of our two heroines — Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower — before a time jump brought longer-term stars Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke to the screen.

That put a lot of pressure on Milly Alcock and Emily Carey to anchor those initial episodes, which they did extremely well. Alcock had the greater visibility, quickly becoming a red carpet favorite and setting herself up for the opportunity to play Supergirl. Carey’s first major House of the Dragon follow-up, Netflix’s adaptation of Holly Smale’s coming-of-age Geek Girl series, isn’t as high profile as joining DC’s House of Zor-El, but it’s a solid showcase for its 21-year-old star.

As comedy has shifted the bounds of acceptable content, some shows continue to push the line between problematic and funny. Unlike some comedians insist, good comedy series like It’s Always Sunny in Philadephia push the boundary of what is allowed on television. Hapless, a new series streaming on Peacock, looks to bring the same energy from a crew of British comedians. It approaches its comedy with traditional sitcom approaches, but unlike many shows, it lets the humor spiral out of control. Most importantly, it gives its stars the material to milk the most laughs possible out of the punchlines. The show is very funny, even if it occasionally feels too similar to the Curb Your Enthusiasm or The League.

Hapless Plot

Hapless follows Paul Green (Tim Downie), a British journalist completing stories for The Jewish Enquirer. As Paul investigates various stories, he comes into contact with different aspects of Jewish and secular British culture.

“Geek Girl” is a new Brit-Canadian produced TV series based on the semi-autobiographical book by Holly Smale, directed by Declan O'Dwyer, starring Emily Carey as ‘Harriet Manners’, Sarah Parish as ‘Jude Paignton’, Emmanuel Imani as ‘Wilbur Evans’, Liam Woodrum as ‘Nick Park’, Zac Looker as ‘Toby Pilgrim’, Tim Downie as ‘Richard Manners’, Jemima Rooper as ‘Annabel Manners’, Daisy Jelley as ‘Poppy Hepple-Cartwright’, Rochelle Harrington as ‘Natalie Grey’, Sandra Yi Sencindiver as ‘Yugin Lee’, Mia Jenkins as ‘Lexi’, Alana Boden as ‘Miss Lord’ and Madeleine Price as ‘Liv’, streaming May w0, q024 on Netflix:

“…’Harriet Manners’ is a socially awkward teen with a limited circle of friends, but plucked from obscurity to be the face of a high-profile fashion advertising campaign.

“Manners' change of circumstance as a teenage fashion model, results in various conflicts which she must resolve and which in turn lead to revelations about both herself and the world in general…...

Netflix has debuted the trailer for the series based on the best-selling book series By Holly Smale, ‘Geek Girl’.

The show tells the story of awkward teenager Harriet Manners whose life is turned upside down when she is spotted to be a model and embarks on a life-affirming journey of self-discovery as she balances high school and high fashion.

The coming-of-age series follows sixteen-year-old Harriet Manners, who has spent her life trying to be invisible, to blend in seamlessly, but there’s no denying, she’s a geek. Her whole world changes after she catches the eye of a modelling agent while on a school trip to London Fashion Week. Tightly wound agents, reclusive designers, impossibly high heels, and a handsome young supermodel with a great smile — socially awkward Harriet has no idea what she’s in for.

The ultimate cringe comedy has ended as Curb Your Enthusiasm took its final bow.

After 15 seasons of watching Larry David’s fictional self make a complete and utter ass of himself again and again, it might seem like the end is near for the medium.

Rest assured, this brand of humor will not disappear quickly, and streaming on Peacock today is Hapless, a British comedy from creator Gary Sinyor about -- to harken back to David’s Seinfeld -- nothing.

First of all, you should probably know that I am not generally a sitcom gal. My comedy needs to be brusque and sarcastic, borderline rude, but not raunchy.

As you can imagine, cringe comedies make my heart sing.

These comedies often feature somewhat neurotic people who have failed to fully mature as they live life. As a single adult without children, this speaks to me. How do you mature without kids?...

At the end of each chapter of Hapless, Paul (Tim Downie) cracks open his laptop to scan the headlines of The Jewish Enquirer. Almost invariably, whatever piddling story he’s spent the past episode chasing has been outflanked by the likes of “Cloudy weather in Tel Aviv” (mind you, the show takes place in London) and buried among links to “exclusives” like “Twin brothers share bar mitzvah” and “Jewish Film Festival opens with Jewish-themed film.”

Even by the standards of “the fourth-largest Jewish publication in the U.K.,” these are nothing articles. But they’re right in line with the spirit of the series, an amusingly sour half-hour comedy about a petty man getting worked up over petty things, with petty results. Think of it as a British Curb Your Enthusiasm, if Larry David had been a total nobody forced to look for the “jangle” (Jewish angle) in every remotely...

Hapless, which revolves around an obsessive and gaffe-prone journalist for a fictional Jewish newspaper and was recently acquired by Peacock in the U.S., was initially due to screen on BA from late this year but after a content review it was removed.

After coming to the attention of director Gary Sinyor and others, BA has U-turned, stating that the series will run from early next year following the airline’s latest three-monthly content review.

“We understand that the decision to review the content has caused upset and hurt to the Jewish community, and we’re sorry – that was never our intention,” said a spokesperson for BA. “We’re proud to offer a wide range of entertainment options for our customers...

“Based on a true story” has become one of the most overused (and misleading) labels of our time. Still, its application to “Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose” is duly warranted — and no less ridiculous for being so. The “true events” drawn on here remain dumbfounding: In the 1930s, a family living in a farmhouse on the Isle of Man claimed they played frequent host to an octogenarian mongoose from New Delhi whose mysterious powers were hardly limited to human speech. This tale attracted considerable interest from tabloids, tourists and investigators over several years’ course. Belief persisted despite all kinds of doubt-casting evidence, not least the daughter’s admitted talent for ventriloquism.

It’s the kind of wonderfully bizarre anecdote one imagines can hardly miss in screen depiction. Yet somehow it does just that in U.S. writer-director Adam Sigal’s U.K.-produced third feature, itself the sort of...

Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose is a unique and thought-provoking movie based on a bizarre true story. The film features a star-studded cast, including Simon Pegg, Minnie Driver, and Christopher Lloyd. The director, Adam Sigal, stayed true to the recorded facts and created a historical comedy with a high degree of verisimilitude.

A parapsychologist encounters one of his strangest cases yet in Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose. Based on the real eponymous figure and infamous legend, the movie centers on Fodor as he investigates reports of a family on the Isle of Man allegedly hosting a talking mongoose, attempting to determine the validity of the family's belief.

Simon Pegg leads the star-studded roster of Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose in the titular role alongside Minnie Driver, Christopher Lloyd, Edmund Kingsley, Tim Downie, Ruth Connell, Paul Kaye, Gary Beadle and Neil Gaiman as the voice of the mongoose,...

Neil Gaiman is optimistic about the future of Good Omens due to the positive reception of the recent episodes, although it's uncertain if the show will continue beyond the second season. Gaiman suggested the possibility of writing a novel to continue the story if the series doesn't get renewed, providing fans with an alternative way to find out what happens next. The ongoing writers strike may impact news of the show's renewal, but once the conflict is resolved, fans may receive good news about the future of Good Omens.

Neil Gaiman is staying positive about the future of Good Omens, right after the series finally returned for a second season back in July, especially thanks to the amazing reception the new epsiodes had.

Based on Gaiman's 1990's novel of the same name, Good Omens follows the famous demon Crowley and angel Aziraphale, representatives of Hell and Heaven on Earth. They...

If you’ve been counting down the days for the second season of Good Omens so fervently that the mere thought of its arrival makes you exclaim “I am having a moment here!” then you might need to have a sit down: Good Omen Season Two Is Finally Here.

"This is an inexplicable farce!" Saban Films + Paramount have revealed an official trailer for an adventure thriller titled Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose, arriving in US theaters to watch starting this September. A (possibly?) true tale set in 1935 , Hungarian-American para-psychologist Nandor Fodor began his investigation of a strange occurrence on the Isle of Man. An average British family, the Irvings, claimed to have been contacted by a mysterious entity at their farm – a talking mongoose named Gef (pronounced "Jeff"). Huh, okay, this is peculiar... Simon Pegg stars as the titular Nandor Fodor, with a cast including Christopher Lloyd, Minnie Driver, Paul Kaye, Ruth Connell, Tim Downie, Gary Beadle, plus Edmund Kingsley as Houdini and Neil Gaiman as the voice of Gef. It seems like a clever parable about "faith" and religion, at least from what I can glean from this trailer. Are these people lying? Is there really a talking mongoose?...

While Hollywood continues to stall under the ongoing strike, mystery fans have something to look forward to this September. Paramount Pictures and Saban Films are thrilled to share the Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose trailer, teasing a peculiar case that will have you questioning everything you see and hear. Adam Signal directs from a script he wrote about strange happenings on the Isle of Man circa 1935.

In the Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose trailer, a Hungarian-American para-psychologist, Nandor Fodor (Simon Pegg), begins investigating a strange occurrence in a distinctive community. An average British family, the Irvings, claims to have been contacted by a mysterious entity at their farm named Gef (pronounced “Jeff”), a talking mongoose. As Nandor Fodor falls deeper down the rabbit hole of Gef’s existence and whereabouts on the property, uncertainty, and madness take hold as things spiral out of control.
