It's about time we return to Silver Falls to see what Jackie has been up to since the events of the first season of My Life with the Walter Boys. It's been over a year since season 1 dropped, so I'd say fans are more than ready for the second installment.

With My Life with the Walter Boys season 2 currently in the works, there have been several major updates about the upcoming season that are sure to excite fans. From filming updates to new characters, here are three important details you need to know about the second season of the hit teen series.

1. Production on My Life with the Walter Boys season 2 wrapped in November 2024

Knuckles surpasses established franchises like The Lord of the Rings and James Bond on Amazon, becoming the top-selling Action and Adventure Blu-ray Disc. The show's success can be attributed to the show's fresh take on an established franchise, family appeal, and hype for Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Knuckles' high pre-order sales depsite being a Paramount+ streaming show suggest a growing popularity for the Sonic franchise and potentially similar success for future releases.

Knuckles hits Number 1 on a new bestseller ranking on Amazon, surpassing The Lord of the Rings, James Bond, and Dune in the process. The new TV series in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise follows the red Echidna after the events of the second live-action film, training police officer Wade Whipple to be a warrior for his upcoming bowling tournament. The movie features a road trip between the two characters as they encounter a variety of dangers, including a...

Sooner or later, if you're a big-name actor with dreams of even bigger ambitions, it's likely that you'll eventually try your hand at stepping behind the other side of the camera for a change. In what feels like no time at all, Daniel Kaluuya has built up a strong and wide-ranging body of work under his belt, breaking out with 2017's "Get Out" (although real ones know him from the British dramedy TV series "Skins") and following that up with a trip to blockbuster land in "Black Panther," reuniting with director Jordan Peele in last year's "Nope," and most recently voicing fan-favorite superhero Hobie Brown (aka Spider-Punk) in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." But it seems that Peele's specific career arc has rubbed off on Kaluuya a bit, since he's now become the latest performer-turned-director with the impending release of his directorial debut.

Today, Netflix released a new trailer for "The Kitchen,...

Step into an eerily familiar, dystopian London in the first trailer for Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Kaluuya’s The Kitchen.

Daniel Kaluuya is just the latest actor to step behind the camera and try their hand at directing. The Oscar winner has teamed up with Kibwe Tavares to bring to life a dystopian vision of London and we have it on very good authority that the film is pretty special.

Take a look at the very first The Kitchen trailer.

The film is scheduled to premiere in cinemas on 12 January for a limited run before hitting Netflix 19 January, so thankfully, we’ll only have to wait about a month before watching The Kitchen. It’s a completely original story, coming from a pair of first time directors and that is something to get excited about.

Here’s the official synopsis: “In a dystopian London, the gap between rich and poor...

The BAFTAs have a soft spot for home-grown talent. Earlier this year, “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” scored four bids at the British Academy Film Awards, including Best Actor (Daryl McCormack) and Best Actress (Emma Thompson). Before that, in 2022, Adeel Akhtar snuck into the Best Actor lineup for “Ali & Ava” and Joanna Scanlan won Best Actress for “After Love.”

This pattern of Brits recognizing Brits could bode well for Daniel Kaluuya this year, who makes his directorial debut with the new Netflix drama “The Kitchen.” The film depicts a dystopian London in which all social housing has been eliminated. The focus in the story are the residents of The Kitchen, a community that refuses to leave their homes despite their struggles. At the heart of the film is Kane Robinson‘s (also known as Kano) Izi, who takes Jedaiah Bannerman‘s young boy under his wing and tries...

Daniel Kaluuya felt 'The Kitchen' would be a "lesser story" if he had been starring in it.The Oscar-winning actor has co-directed and co-written the new sci-fi drama and explained how he had to remove his "ego" by not taking an acting part in the flick – which closed the BFI London Film Festival on Sunday (15.10.23).Daniel told Deadline's Breaking Baz column: "(I realised) oh, s***. I need to get my ego out of this and get out of the way."This film wants to be made, and this film wants to be told in the way that it wants to be told. And if I put myself into it, it's a lesser story. That's what I told myself."Daniel has spent long nights working on the project with his fellow director Kibwe Tavares and editor Christian Sandino-Taylor to make sure it was ready for the big premiere.The 34-year-old star said: "Oh,...

Daniel Kaluuya world premiered his feature directorial debut, “The Kitchen,” at the BFI London Film Festival on Sunday night, calling it “one of the best days of my life.”

Kaluuya was on hand alongside his co-director Kibwe Tavares, producer Daniel Emmerson and several of the film’s actors, including “Top Boy” star Kane Robinson and newcomer Jedaiah Bannerman. Set in a dystopian London where all social housing has been banned, the film follows the residents of a community called the Kitchen who must fight to save their home.

Speaking before the premiere, Kaluuya and Tavares explained that it’s taken nearly a decade to bring the Netflix film to the screen. “[In] January 2014, we all put £200 each up in Holloway in a barber shop to make a taster of this film,” Kaluuya said.

“Obviously, this is mine and Kibwe’s directorial debut, and I learned a lot on the journey,” he continued.

Editor’s note: This review was originally published at the 2023 London Film Festival. Netflix releases the film on its streaming platform on Friday, January 19.

At an edition of the London Film Festival where themes spilled off the screens and onto the streets, “The Kitchen” was a prescient Closing Night choice. The directorial debut for both Daniel Kaluuya and architect-turned-filmmaker Kibwe Tavares screened to press on Sunday morning, meters away from Piccadilly Circus where, hours previously, the famous Eros statue was draped in Palestine flags during a peaceful demonstration in solidarity with people in danger of being wiped off the face of the earth.

The threat of an already dispossessed community losing their homes and lives undergirds the near-future North London-set dystopia of “The Kitchen.” If the relationship drama at its core doesn’t fully connect with the elegant brutalism of its visual language, there is, nevertheless, a lot to admire in both aspects.

Exclusive: The BFI London Film Festival closes Sunday with the world premiere of The Kitchen, a movie set in a dystopian London where an impoverished community is forced to fend for themselves in ramshackle apartment blocks. It marks the feature directorial debut of Oscar- winning actor Daniel Kaluuya and architect-turned-filmmaker Kibwe Tavares.

It’s a film that Kaluuya, Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Emmerson (Calm With Horses), The Kitchen’s producer, have spent the best part of a decade bringing to the screen.

This column’s about how three friends came together to develop a tiny idea that over the years has evolved into tale about a London that’s split in half — those who have and those who don’t.

However, through their eyes, it’s a London that, ultimately, offers a sense of humanity and hope.

The London Film Festival (Lff) announced today that it will close its upcoming 67th edition with the dystopian thriller The Kitchen, directed by Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Kaluuya, for Netflix.

The film will receive its World Premiere on October 15 at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall ahead of its release in UK cinemas and subsequent launch on Netflix. The Kitchen was made in association with Film4, who also supported the film’s development and is produced by Dmc Film and 59% Productions.

The film stars veteran actor and musician Kane “Kano” Robinson alongside Jedaiah Bannerman, Hope Ikpoku Jr, Teija Kabs, Demmy Ladipo, Cristale, and BackRoad Gee. Kaluuya co-wrote the project with Joe Murtagh. Synopsis reads: In a dystopian London, the gap between rich and poor has been stretched to its limits.

London-set dystopian drama “The Kitchen,” directed by Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Kaluuya, will close the 67th BFI London Film Festival.

The film marks the feature directorial debut of Oscar-winning actor Kaluuya, who also co-wrote with Joe Murtagh (“Calm With Horses”). Tavares previously directed the Sundance-winning short “Robots of Brixton.”

In “The Kitchen,” the gap between rich and poor has been stretched to its limits. All forms of social housing have been eradicated and only The Kitchen remains: a community that refuses to move out of the place they call home. The film follows Izi (Kane Robinson), who lives there by necessity and is desperately trying to find a way out, and 12-year-old Benji (Jedaiah Bannerman), who has lost his mother and is searching for a family, as they struggle to forge a relationship in a system that is stacked against them.

The cast also includes Hope Ikpoku Jr, Teija Kabs,...
