Everyone agrees that the golden age of the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/romance">romantic</a> comedy was between the 1990s and the 2000s, when the genre was not only one of the most popular at the box office, it also delivered some of the best love stories on screen.



However, that doesn’t mean that recent years haven’t brought some good stories. In recent years, it feels like the genre is having a ‘renaissance,’ with some films (such as ‘Anyone But You’) proving that there’s much more to do in modern times.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20231228#SPEN#59"></div>


And, speaking of modern times, here we’ve got a selection of recent romantic comedies that we think are underrated. These <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/movies">movies</a> may not have made a huge splash at the box office, but they offer unique and heartfelt takes on love and relationships that are well worth watching.

While <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix">Netflix</a> has had many hit shows over the years, one that has certainly become a global phenomenon is Bridgerton. The period drama, created by Shondaland and based on Julia Quinn’s novels, has grown in viewership with every season, as the latest numbers prove.



Variety reports that the third season, which follows the love story between Penelope and Colin, hit 45.1 million views in its opening weekend on the platform (which premiered with only four episodes). According to FlixPatrol, the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix/netflix-bridgerton-became-the-most-watched-series-worldwide-and-in-the-us">show became the number one of the Top 10 globally</a> and in the US, in only a day.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#/netflix/bridgerton-who-will-eloise-marry-in-the-netflix-series"></div>


Like the novels, each season focuses on a different <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/bridgerton">Bridgerton</a> sibling and its love story. So, when Season 1 leads Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor stepped aside for the second installment, there were some questions surrounding the format’s possible success. However, the numbers have improved. Here’s how every season stands in the popularity contest.



<h2>Season 1 – Daphne and Simon’s love story (2020)</h2>



In the Most Popular List on Netflix, the first Season remains the most-watched of the three with 929,300,000 hours viewed or 113,300,000 views. Globally, it’s the fourth most streamed series, following “Wednesday” (Season 1), “Stranger Things 4” and “DAHMER: Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="http://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership1-1024x576.jpg" alt="bridgerton season 1" class="wp-image-22229" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor in Season 1 of ‘Bridgerton’ (Netflix)</figcaption></figure>



However, at the time of its release, Netflix didn’t offer numbers for opening weekends. In January 2021, Netflix announced that the series hit 625 million hours viewed. So, if we take into account the series total runtime (8:12), it had 78,125,000 views. It was the most-watched original series launch at the time of its premiere in December 2020.



<h2>Season 2 – Anthony and Kate’s love story (2022)</h2>



Meanwhile, Season 2, starring <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/jonathan-bailey">Jonathan Bailey</a> and Simone Ashley, premiered in March, 2022. It debuted number one in 92 countries, and during its opening weekend (three days) amassed 193 million viewing hours, being the highest opening for any English-language Netflix series at the time.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="http://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership2-1024x576.jpg" alt="bridgerton season 2" class="wp-image-22228" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-viewership2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley in Season 2 of ‘Bridgerton’ (Netflix)</figcaption></figure>



If divided by its runtime (8:30), Season 2 hit 22.7 million views during its opening weekend. In the Most Popular Global List, Season 2 is the ninth most-watched, with a total of 797,200,000 hours viewed (93,800,000 views).



<h2>Season 3 – Colin and Penelope’s story (2024)</h2>



So, compared to Season 2, the third season had the biggest opening of the series so far, with 45.1 million views over four days. Meanwhile, the second part, which premiered a month later, hit 28 million views in the final four episodes’ first four days of availability. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="http://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-5-1024x576.jpg" alt="bridgerton season 3" class="wp-image-27817" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/bridgerton-5.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton in Season 3 of ‘Bridgerton’ (Netflix)</figcaption></figure>



Lastly, Season 3 has officially enteres the Most Popular List (English) after hitting 91.9M views so far. Netflix measures the views based on views during each title’s first 91 days of streaming, and it has been calculated only 45 days after its premiere, so it will likely surpass Season 2 in the ranks. It seems like the Bridgerton’s fandom grows bigger with every season.

Bridgerton Season 3 has the biggest opening for the series: Every season's numbers

Part one of Season 3 of “Bridgerton” was released last Thursday (May 16), and with only four episodes, the period drama has topped the global charts of Netflix. However, while fans eagerly await for the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix/netflixs-bridgerton-when-will-the-second-part-of-season-3-be-released">second part to be released</a>, there’s another period drama that has entered the Top 10 in the US, according to FlixPatrol: Queen Charlotte.



Developed by Shonda Rhimes as a spin-off of <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/bridgerton">“Bridgerton,”</a> the series follows a young queen Charlotte (the fictionalized version that we see on the main show) and her love story with King George. The young versions of Lady Danbury and Violet Bridgerton also appear.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#/celebrities/nicola-coughlan-upcoming-projects"></div>


Of course, this is not the first time that Queen Charlotte has climbed the charts of <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix">Netflix.</a> At the time of its release in 2023, it debuted at number one in 91 countries, gathering 80.3 million views until July 2023.



<h2>Why ‘Queen Charlotte’ was a success for the Bridgerton franchise</h2>



‘Bridgerton’ is based on the novels by Julian Quinn, with each book following a specific love story of one of the eight siblings. The <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/series">series</a>, however, expanded the ensemble cast to include other characters that have small roles in the books, just as the queen (who is hardly mentioned).



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story | Official Trailer | Netflix" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLtnNw0KT78?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



In that sense, in Bridgerton, the queen, portrayed by the marvelous Golda Rosheuvel, has an important role in all the stories, either helping the couples (like giving her approval to Kate and Anthony at the end of Season 2), or creating obstacles for them (insisting on marrying her nephew to Daphne).



So, it only made sense to watch her own story, adding an important context to her actions in the main series. And the same goes for Lady Danbury, who is also an important player when it comes to shaping what happens in the ton of London.



<h2>Queen Charlotte’s Bridgerton prequel: Who is in the cast?</h2>



India Amarteifio will play young Queen Charlotte, while Corey Mylchreest will portray the young King George. Arsema Thomas will play Lady Danbury and Connie Jenkins-Greig will play Violet Ledger, before her marriage to Edmund Bridgerton.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#/celebrities/luke-newton-upcoming-projects"></div>


On the other hand, Katie Brayben and Keir Charles play Vivian Ledger and Lord Ledger, respectively. The cast is rounded by: Michelle Fairley, Arsema Thomas, Sam Clemmett, Richard Cunningham, Tunji Kasim, Rob Maloney, Cyril Uri and Hugh Sachs.

Netflix: 'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story' returns to the Top 10 in the US

While the third season of <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/bridgerton">“Bridgerton”</a> has become the most-watched show on <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix">Netflix</a>, the platform has many other options similar to the period drama. One of them is “The Empress,” a German series that will return for a second season soon.



“The Empress” is a historical <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/drama">drama</a>, often compared to “The Crown,” that offers a fictionalized account of the life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria and her relationship with Emperor Franz Joseph I.



Starring Devrim Lingnau and Philip Froissant, the first season ended on a cliffhanger. While it focused on the early years of “Sisi” and Franz’s <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/romance">romantic </a>relationship, there is still much to explore about the Empress. Here’s everything we know about the next installment of the period drama.



<h2>The Empress Season 2: Plot</h2>



Netflix has released an official logline for the upcoming installment of the series. It reads: “The first crisis is barely over and the young couple wants to enjoy their fresh marital bliss when dark clouds gather over Schönbrunn Palace: Franz unexpectedly faces a powerful adversary in Europe. And Elisabeth comes under great pressure, because an heir to the throne is to secure the future of the empire as quickly as possible. When fate strikes with all its power, the couple’s love threatens to finally break apart. And Elisabeth must fight not only for her family, but also for the integrity of her soul.”



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Empress | Official Trailer | Netflix" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KfySe96FPr8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



In real life, Elisabeth had four children, but her firstborn, Archduchess Sophie of Austria, died of a high fever while traveling with her mother to Hungary. This traumatic event led Elisabeth to concede to her mother-in-law, Princess Sophie, who believed she should raise the Emperor’s grandchildren.



It’s likely that the second season will delve into Elisabeth’s pregnancy and her early years as a mother, culminating in the tragic death of her first child. Additionally, the series will explore the political tensions and decisions made by Emperor Franz, leading Austria to war.



<h2>The Empress Cast: Who Will Return for Season 2?</h2>



While Netflix will probably introduce new cast members, we can expect the main actors to return, including Devrim Lingnau as Elisabeth von Wittelsbach and Philip Froissant as Franz Joseph I of Austria. The rest of the cast includes:



<ul><li>Melika Foroutan as Princess Sophie of Bavaria</li><li>Johannes Nussbaum as Archduke Maximilian</li><li>Elisa Schlott as Duchess Helene in Bavaria</li><li>Jördis Triebel as Princess Ludovika of Bavaria</li><li>Almila Bagriacik as Countess Leontine von Apafi</li><li>Hanna Hilsdorf as Countess Amalia von Salm Reifferscheidt</li><li>Runa Greiner as Countess Charlotte von Stubenberg</li><li>Svenja Jung as Countess Louise Gundemann</li><li>Andreas Döhler as Duke Maximilian Joseph in Bavaria</li><li>Wiebke Puls as Countess Sophie Esterházy</li><li>Michael Fuith as Archduke Franz Karl of Austria</li><li>Felix Nölle as Archduke Ludwig Viktor of Austria</li><li>Martin Butzke as Gustav, Prince of Vasa</li></ul>

Season 3 of <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/bridgerton">Bridgerton</a> has finally come to an end with the release of Part II, and it has become (once again) the number one show on Netflix. This time, fans enjoyed the love story between Colin and Penelope, which are portrayed by Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan. However, among the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix/bridgerton-cast-the-ages-of-the-characters-and-the-actors-in-real-life">Bridgerton siblings</a>, another character that had a major development was Francesca. 



Now <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix/bridgerton-who-plays-francesca-in-season-3-meet-hannah-dodd">portrayed by Hannah Dodd</a>, after Ruby Stokes left the series, Francesca has finally stepped into the spotlight. This season we watch her fall in love and get married to Lord John Stirling, played in the series by Victor Alli.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#/netflix/netflixs-bridgerton-where-was-season-3-of-the-romantic-period-drama-filmed"></div>


While there hasn’t been a confirmation about <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix/bridgerton-familys-future-on-which-characters-will-the-next-seasons-focus">who will be the next lead of the series</a>, fans of the novels written by Julian Quinn know that John Sterling won’t be Francesca’s only love interest. And, after the third season’s epic finale, we have already know who will be the lead of her story, and it changes everything we come to expect about the series. 



<h2>Who is Michael Starling, Francesca’s love interest according to the books?</h2>



In the books, Francesca does get married to John Stirling, Earl of Kilmartin, in 1818, two months after meeting each other. They live mostly in Scotland. However, two years later John dies unexpectedly and she suffers a miscarriage.



Then in 1824, Francesca comes back to London looking for a new husband, where she will encounter Michael Stirling, John’s cousin. They first met each other two days before Francesca’s wedding, with Michael falling in love with her immediately.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20240519_SPEN_22103_francesca-bridgerton-lord-stirling-1024x576_d8fe9755.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="francesca lord stirling" class="wp-image-22105" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/francesca-bridgerton-lord-stirling-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/francesca-bridgerton-lord-stirling-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/francesca-bridgerton-lord-stirling-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/francesca-bridgerton-lord-stirling-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/francesca-bridgerton-lord-stirling.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Francesca Bridgerton and Lord Sterling (Netflix)</figcaption></figure>



After they reconnect, they start a romantic relationship, eloping after <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix/bridgerton-who-will-eloise-marry-in-the-netflix-series">Eloise’s wedding to Phillip Crane</a>. However, as you might notice, in the Netflix’s series things didn’t happen exactly like this. 



<h2>Who will be Francesca’s lead in the series? </h2>



In the series, Michael doesn’t arrive before the wedding. And, actually, Michael is now Michaela, who arrives after Francesca’s wedding to John Stirling. And, not only that, when Francesca meets her she becomes speechless and start stuttering, just exactly the same reaction that her mother Violet told her she had when she met Edmund, feeling love at first sight. 



Does this mean that Francesca will be officially falling in love for a girl? Yes, showrunner Jess Brownell told Variety that she is “cautious bout talking about it in detail now, because I want people to see how it’s going to play out,” but she intends to do it. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20240519_SPEN_22103_francesca-michael-sterling-1024x576_c4536534.webp&amp;width=650&amp;height=365" alt="bridgerton michael sterling francesca" class="wp-image-26957" width="650" height="365" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/francesca-michael-sterling-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/francesca-michael-sterling-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/francesca-michael-sterling-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/francesca-michael-sterling-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/francesca-michael-sterling.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px"></figure><figcaption>Francesca meets Michaela Sterling in ‘Bridgerton’ (Netflix)</figcaption></figure>



“I’m not trying to be withholding, it’s just difficult to talk about the thought and the research that went into it without talking about what’s to come. And I’m just trying to be protective of what story we want to tell for Season 4 and beyond,” she told the oulet. 



<h2>Is Francesca the next lead of Bridgerton?</h2>



Well, it’s unlikely that Francesca will be the protagonist of the next season, if they follow the same timeline of the books. Her story develops some years after her marriage to John Stirling. 



On the other hand, there’s seems to be hints that Benedict’s story will be next, especially as in the Season 3 finale, Eloise mentions that she will see him at the Masquerade Ball, which is where his story begins in the books.

Since “Parasite” won the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/oscars">Oscar</a> for Best Picture in 2020, Asian productions have gained more visibility at awards and festivals of all kinds. Last year, one of these impressive films was “Monster,” which is currently among the most-watched movies on <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix">Netflix</a> worldwide.



This Japanese psychological <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/drama">dramatic</a> mystery thriller had its world premiere at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on May 17, 2023, where it competed for the Palme d’Or and was honored with the Queer Palm and the Best Screenplay award.



Both critics and the public have praised it for its screenplay, direction, acting, editing, and musical score. It has appeared on many top ten lists of the year’s best films.



<h2>‘Monster’ ranks Top 6 on Netflix worldwide</h2>



In 2023, Monster shocked audiences worldwide. Thus, it’s no surprise to see it occupying the Top 6 on Netflix globally.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



Surprisingly, it has managed to dethrone “Smile” in viewership, despite this being one of the most successful <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/horror">horror</a> titles on the platform. At this moment, it’s in a neck-and-neck competition with “Kevin Hart: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor” for the fifth spot.



The story revolves around young Minato, who begins acting oddly, causing his mother to become deeply concerned about his behavior. Realizing that a teacher is involved, she angrily confronts the school to find out what’s happening. However, as the narrative unfolds from the perspectives of the mother, teacher, and child, the full truth is gradually revealed.



Most of all, the film was widely praised for its careful approach to themes regarding homophobic discrimination. Kore-eda Hirokazu, the director, said that this and other LGBT topics in “Monster” were very much intended, as they were written directly into the plot from the time the script was written.



This is his 30th work as a filmmaker, with his most recognized ones being “Shoplifters,” “Nobody Knows,” and “Like Father, Like Son”. According to Roger Ebert, “his films embrace the mystery of life and encourage us to think about why we are here, and what makes us truly happy.”

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20240519_SPEN_22064_Taylor-Jenkins-Reid-1-1024x576_e944eda8.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-22066" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/Taylor-Jenkins-Reid-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/Taylor-Jenkins-Reid-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/Taylor-Jenkins-Reid-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/Taylor-Jenkins-Reid-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/Taylor-Jenkins-Reid-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Taylor Jenkins Reid attends the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater on January 15, 2024. (Source: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



As with many of the author’s narratives, the plot will explore multiple dramatic moments where life tests the protagonist, involving her seven marriages and deep secrets.



The anticipation for the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/movies">movie</a> is quite high, especially among fans of the book. There were multiple rumors about who would be chosen for the lead role, with <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/jessica-chastain">Jessica Chastain</a> being one of the names mentioned.



However, the actress debunked the theories of her involvement with the project, stating that although she found the story really interesting, no one had contacted her to offer her the role.



<h3>Malibu Rising | TBA</h3>



One of the many books by Taylor Jenkins Reid being adapted for the screen is “Malibu Rising“, thanks to <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/hulu">Hulu</a>, which acquired the rights. The adaptation focuses on the complex family dynamics and personal challenges of the characters.



The story, which explores the secrets and family tensions that come to light during the party, takes place over 24 hours in 1983 and follows the Riva siblings, children of a famous singer, who host an annual event at their mansion in Malibu.



The author will serve as one of the executive producers for the highly anticipated television series, which is still in development. Its cast has not been announced, nor has its official release date.



<h3>Carrie Soto Is Back | TBA</h3>



The rights to “Carrie Soto Is Back” have been acquired by one of the industry’s leading production companies, Picturestart. Deadline reported that the author will be a producer, along with Circle of Confusion.



Although it is still too early for a scheduled release date, as the movie is in development, it could be estimated that the adaptation might hit the big screen during 2026.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#/movies/emily-henrys-movies-which-of-her-books-are-being-adapted-and-everything-we-know"></div>

The relationship between Ben Affleck and <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/jennifer-lopez">Jennifer Lopez</a> is one of the most well-known in the history of Hollywood <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/celebrities">celebrities</a>, not only because they are both mega-stars, but also because of their ups and downs over the years.



In May 2021, it was confirmed that they had officially reunited as a couple, and since then, they have been supporting each other in all their projects. In 2022, they got engaged again and finally said “I do”.



However, this week, rumors began circulating that there might be trouble in paradise and that the couple has been separated for some time. It seems they may be heading towards another divorce…



<h2>Did Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck split up?</h2>



Jennifer Lopez and <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-affleck">Ben Affleck</a> have been together for several years up until now, but it seems that not everything is rosy, as the couple appears to be moving toward divorce after giving their relationship one last try in recent weeks, according to an exclusive report by the Daily Mail.



A source close to the stars revealed to the media outlet that they have already signed the papers to finalize their split, but have not yet submitted them, allegedly waiting for the right time to do so.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20240517_SPEN_21711_JLo-and-Ben-Affleck-1-1024x576_a1b22423.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-21722" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/JLo-and-Ben-Affleck-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/JLo-and-Ben-Affleck-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/JLo-and-Ben-Affleck-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/JLo-and-Ben-Affleck-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/05/JLo-and-Ben-Affleck-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 17.

Rumors about it began long time ago, after the Gone Girl star did not accompany the singer to the Met Gala, where she shouldn’t have walked the red carpet alone, as she was one of the hosts of the 2024 edition.



However, despite all the rumors, they were photographed on the afternoon of Friday, May 17, buying flowers in Los Angeles. Some fans even hinted on social media that they may have given their location to the paparazzi to take some photos of them, thus either debunking or hiding their current relationship status.



After months of misleading hints, it’s now clear that they’ve called it off, as indicated by their recent real estate moves. The couple has listed their Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million, and reports reveal that Affleck purchased a new $20.5 million ‘bachelor pad’ in the Pacific Palisades on July 24, coinciding with Lopez’s 55th birthday.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240118#SPEN#2145"></div>


This may not have been the main reason for the separation, but it’s one of the significant differences that finally drove them apart. Another close source also revealed what their next steps would be and said:



‘They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them. At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldn’t.‘

Despite having a very solid young career, spanning titles like “Red Bracelets” and “How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast),” it’s quite probable that Damian Hardung will be recognized for a long time as James Beaufort from “Maxton Hall.” Thus, he is already working on his future in order to diversify his trajectory, and one of his next productions seems especially interesting.



“Love Sucks” is one of the three upcoming projects currently on Hardung’s IMDb agenda. According to its distribution company, ZDF Studios, the title will be a <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/romance">romantic</a> series consisting of eight episodes, each 30-minutes long, mixed with crime, suspense, and many <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/fantasy">fantasy</a> elements.



Although it has not been announced whether a release date for the United States on theaters or streaming platforms will happen, it’s quite likely to come around if it has enough success. Here, check all about it.



<h2>What is the plot of ‘Love Sucks’?</h2>



The plot of “Love Sucks” will revolve around Zelda, who was trained as a boxer by her father to fight against visitors who come across the family boxing ring. Since it’s a tradition, it runs in her blood, and she is very good at it.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="LOVE SUCKS | Trailer | FILMFEST MÜNCHEN 2024" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tXDv3RXSzug?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



One day, Ben, a sensitive and sophisticated young man, visits the prizefight and, of course, is rapidly knocked out by Zelda. Nevertheless, the fight is just the start of their relationship, since both of them feel an instant connection that goes beyond words (or punches).



But there is another twist: Ben is revealed to be a vampire. And even worse, Zelda finds out that her family has extensively dedicated decades to hunting them down.



<h2>Who are the cast of ‘Love Sucks’?</h2>



Damian Hardung will play Ben, the vampire who falls deeply in love with Zelda, portrayed by Havana Joy Josephine Braun in her series debut. They will likely embody the same enemies-to-lovers dynamic developed by Ruby Bell and James Beaufort in “Maxton Hall”.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#/tv/top-10-must-watch-series-like-maxton-hall-how-and-where-to-stream-them"></div>






The rest of the cast features performances by great German actors such as Philipp Christopher, Lisa-Marie Koroll, Rick Okon, and Anne Ratte-Polle, who you may recognize for playing Ines Kahnwald in “Dark.”



<h2>When will ‘Love Sucks’ be released?</h2>



“Love Sucks” will have its official premiere on July 1st at the Munich International Film Festival. The program announces that the screening will include a couple of episodes of the series, and, since it lasts 120 minutes, we can infer that we will learn more about the first four chapters when that date arrives.



However, as mentioned before, no distribution or streaming company seems to have reached out to the creator of the show, Marc O. Seng, to bring the series to the United States. But, given the rising celebrity status that Damian Hardung is beginning to experience, it’s not far-fetched to predict that the production could find a home in America shortly.

Maxton Hall's Damian Hardung plays a vampire in his upcoming enemies-to-lovers series.
