Netflix is ready to take viewers back to the hilarious world of Girls5Eva.
The streaming service has revealed the third season — its first as a Netflix original — will hit the air on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
Six new episodes will be available on premiere date, but the show’s future beyond that is up in the air.
The comedy-drama spent two seasons as a Peacock original before it was announced the show would be headed to Netflix.
“The members of the late ’90s girl-group Girls5eva – Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria – have reunited and recorded a new album, Returnity, so it’s time for the next logical step: a comeback tour,” the logline for Season 3 teases.
“With no plan, tour manager, or venues secured, the ladies pile into a van and hit the great unknown, doing their damnedest to promote their album and get back on top.

“In the process, Girls5eva will grapple with life on the road, see their relationships tested, play a billionaire’s birthday party, sow their oats, confront parents they believe held them back, cross paths with the biggest pop star on the planet, and question if they really want “the big time” again.
“Will Girls5eva fast-track their comeback and sell their tour documentary in the process? Or will the road destroy them?”
Girls5eva stars Grammy® Award-winner and Tony® and Emmy® Award-nominated singer Sara Bareilles (Dawn); Grammy® and Tony® Award-winning actress and singer Renée Elise Goldsberry (Wickie); Emmy® Award-winning Saturday Night Live mainstay and comedy icon Paula Pell (Gloria); and New York Times Best-Selling author, actor, activist, writer and host Busy Philipps (Summer).
Over in the world of Apple TV+, the streaming service has narrowed down another 2024 premiere.
Manhunt, the seven-part true crime limited series starring Emmy Award-winning actor Tobias Menzies (The Crown, Game of Thrones, Outlander), and created by Emmy nominee Monica Beletsky (Fargo, The Leftovers, Friday Night Lights), who also serves as showrunner and executive producer.
Emmy nominee Carl Franklin (Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, One False Move, Devil in a Blue Dress) directed the first two episodes and is also an executive producer on the series.
Manhunt is set to make its global debut on Apple TV+, with the first two episodes airing on Friday, March 15, 2024, and episodes will debut weekly on Fridays through April 19, 2024.
Based on The New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning non-fiction book from author James L. Swanson, Manhunt is a conspiracy thriller about one of the best-known but least understood crimes in history, the astonishing story of the hunt for John Wilkes Booth in the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.
Starring alongside Menzies are Anthony Boyle (Tetris, The Plot Against America), Lovie Simone (Greenleaf), Will Harrison (Daisy Jones & The Six), Brandon Flynn (13 Reasons Why), Damian O’Hare (Hatfields & McCoys), Glenn Morshower (The Resident), Patton Oswalt (A.P.

The Night Agent Season 2: Everything We Know
Over in the world of HBO, we have some news to report about Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The highly-anticipated 12th season of the award-winning drama will premiere Sunday, February 4, at 10 p.m. ET/PT… but there’s a catch.
The series will end with its upcoming season, with the series finale set for April 7.
There has been speculation in recent months that the show was reaching its end, and now, we know it is.
“As CURB comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be – the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character,” Larry David said in a statement.
“And so ‘Larry David,’ I bid you farewell.”
“Your misanthropy will not be missed. And for those of you who would like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at Doctors Without Borders.”
