Netflix’s “A Different World” brings viewers back to Hillman College with a new generation, but the sequel does not spend its first season simply revisiting familiar ground.

A Different World returns to Hillman College with the difficult task of introducing a new class without making the sequel feel like an extended reunion special.

A Different World returns to Hillman College with a new generation, but Netflix’s sequel does something the original sitcom could only occasionally attempt.

Her time in Fiji, however, ended much…
Netflix’s Wonka’s The Golden Ticket takes the familiar idea of Charlie Bucket entering Willy Wonka’s mysterious factory and turns it into a full reality competition.

“Survivor” returned for season 51 with a premiere that wasted little time showing what Jeff Probst means by the show’s new “Open Era.” Episode 1, titled “Permanent Uncertainty,” introduced 21 new castaways, brought back Exile Island, put an old-school immunity idol into play, and even allowed the contestants to weigh in on whether one of…
Wonka’s The Golden Ticket was filmed in Australia, with its main factory sets at Village Roadshow Studios on Queensland’s Gold Coast and additional filming at White Bay Power Station in Sydney.

Netflix’s Habeas Corpus closes its first season with Jonathan‘s case resolved, but the story itself is clearly not finished.
