THE RETURN OF ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
JENNIFER HUDSON
ON SMASH
After years of will-they-won’t-they rumors, it’s finally happening
this spring on Netflix. The Bluths will be back, and all will be right
with the world.
How do you spice up a
musical? Add an Oscar
winner with a killer voice.
Smash is already drowning
in talent, but adding
Hudson’s show-stopping
voice to the mix really ups
the ante for the season two
premiere on Feb. 5.
THE RETURN OF COMMUNITY
GAME OF THRONES
Season three is based on A
Storm of Swords, one of the
best books in George R. R.
Martin’s series. Add some
exciting new cast members
— including Diana Rigg and
Iwan Rheon — and March 31
can’t come soon enough.
The Greendale Human Beings
have been gone way too
long. This series is basically
the Rodney Dangerfield of
NBC: It can’t get no respect.
Now that it’s finally on the
schedule (Feb. 7 at 8 p.m.
EST!), we can’t wait to see
what Community has to offer
under the guidance of new
showrunners. All the headlines
and departure news have just
added to the anticipation.
THE CARRIE DIARIES
Once you get over the
initial balking at a Sex and
the City prequel series, The
Carrie Diaries is a pretty
well-done pilot. With
good music choices and
performances that blow
pretty much every other
CW show out of the water,
this is one we’ve got an eye
on. Watch for it Jan. 14.
