T8 WHATS UP! June 19 - 25, 2022 BY RAYE SMITH TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON NETFLIX "The Umbrella Academy" - Season 3 There's never a dull moment for "The Umbrella Academy" as the cast jumps right back into Sea- son 3, premiering Wednesday, June 22, on Netflix. After putting a stop to 1963's doomsday in Sea- son 2 and now convinced they've finally fixed their time- line and prevented an imminent apocalypse, the Umbrella Acad- emy returns home to the present day, only to discover that Har- greeves HQ now belongs to the Sparrow Academy. Smart and stylish with ice-cold personali- ties, the Sparrows and Umbrel- las immediately clash in a vio- lent blowup. But with new diffi- culties headed their way and an unidentified destructive force (that they may have caused) wreaking havoc across the uni- verse, the Umbrellas must con- vince the Sparrows to work with them to help prevent a new ca- tastrophe and attempt to fix the timeline (again). Based on the comics and graphic novels by My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way, "The Um- brella Academy" is created for television by Steve Blackman ("Fargo"), developed by Jeremy Slater ("Moon Knight") and di- rected by Jeremy Webb ("Mer- lin"). The series stars returning cast members Elliot Page ("Tales of the City"), Tom Hopper ("Black Sails"), David Castañeda ("Sicario: Day of the Soldado," 2018), Emmy Raver-Lampman ("Central Park"), Robert Shee- han ("The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones," 2013), Aidan Gal- lagher ("Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn"), Justin H. Min ("After Yang," 2021), Colm Feore ("Chi- cago," 2002) and Ritu Arya ("Red Notice," 2021) alongside new additions Justin Cornwell ("The InBetween"), Britne Old- ford ("Free Guy," 2021), Jake Ep- stein ("Suits"), Genesis Rodri- guez ("The Fugitive"), Cazzie David ("Eighty-Sixed") and Ja- von "Wanna" Walton ("Eupho- ria"). WHAT'S NEW ON HULU "The Bear" - Season 1 Family comes before everything in the new eight-episode, FX- produced series "The Bear," landing Thursday, June 23, ex- clusively on Hulu. After the sud- den death of his brother, fine- dining chef Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White, "Shameless") returns home to Chicago to his family's sandwich shop. Facing grief and a moun- tain of challenges he couldn't have imagined, Carmen works to transform the restaurant alongside the business's rough- around-the-edges kitchen staff. From producer, director and writer Christopher Storer ("Ramy") and new writer Alex O'Keefe, "The Bear" is executive produced by Joanna Calo ("Hacks"), Josh Senior ("Ramy"), Nate Matteson ("Sta- tion Eleven") and Hiro Murai ("Atlanta"). Chris Witaske ("Chicago Party Aunt"), Ebon Moss-Bachrach ("Girls"), Abby Elliott ("No Strings Attached," 2011), Ayo Edebiri ("Dickin- son"), Lionel Boyce ("Loiter Squad"), Liza Colón-Zayas ("In Treatment"), Edwin Lee Gibson ("Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty"), Gram Otero Livemore ("Chicago P.D.") and Richard Esteras ("When Jeff Tried to Save the World," 2018) also star in the se- ries alongside celebrity chef Matty Matheson ("It's Supper- time!"). WHAT'S NEW ON DISNEY+ "Rise" (2022) "Rise" to the top with the new biographical sports drama film "Rise," available on Disney+ Fri- day, June 24. Following the true story of the Nigerian-Greek At- entokounmpo family, "Rise" takes viewers along for the ride through the family's journey from Nigeria to Greece, before brothers Giannis (talented new- comer Uche Agada), Thanasis (new talent Ral Agada) and Kos- tas (Jaden Osimuwa, "Tough World," 2022) travel across the world to America to play in the NBA. From a struggling family of seven in Nigeria and Greece to the first brothers in the histo- ry of the NBA to all become champions, this story of the fam- ily's perseverance and determi- nation is equal parts inspiring and heartwarming. Directed by Akin Omotoso ("Tell Me Sweet Something," 2015) and written by Arash Amel ("A Private War," 2018), "Rise" also stars Manish Dayal ("The Resident"), Maxi- miliano Hernández ("Avengers: Endgame," 2019), Yetide Badaki ("American Gods"), Taylor Nichols ("Perry Mason"), Chi- nua Baraka Payne ("The Won- der Years"), Pilar Holland ("Marriage Story," 2019), Mc- Colm Cephas Jr. ("Ambulance," 2022), Nicolas Politis ("Orkos"), Aaron Kingsley Adetola ("Su- perblocked," 2021), Elijah Sholanke ("Mother's Cry (a vi- sual poem)," 2021) and Anthony Abiola ("Aaja Mexico Challiye," 2022). WHAT'S NEW ON APPLE TV+ "Loot" - Season 1 The new Apple TV+ comedy series "Loot" kicks off with the season's first three episodes Friday, June 24, on the stream- ing platform. New episodes air weekly on Fridays thereafter. Starring comedy favorite Maya Rudolph ("Saturday Night Live") as Molly Novak, the se- ries follows her story as her life is turned upside down by her husband's betrayal. Coming out of a very public downward spi- ral in the aftermath of her per- sonal tragedy, Molly takes the only thing she has left — her $87-billion fortune — and pur- sues an active role in a charity that had been hers in name only, run by the no-nonsense Sofia Salinas (Michaela Jaé "MJ" Ro- driguez, "Pose"). Using the charity to turn her image back around, Molly learns that giving back may be just what she needs to find herself again.
