Jean Smart’s comedy-drama Hacks created by Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky, is HBO’s Primetime Emmy hit.

Barry Season 3
Alec Berg and Bill Hader’s creation, the crime comedy has always been a people’s favourite and, no doubt that it is coming back for a third season now! Starring Bill Hader, Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Anthony Carrigan, Henry Winkler and others, the third season will premiere in 2022.
Raised by the Wolves Season 2
With Ridley Scott’s director’s touch that graced the first of episodes, Raised by the Wolves is the science fiction that did receive some mixed reviews but, hopefully, the second season will impress the audience.
