It stars Gerard Butler, and the sequel takes place ten years after the Garrett family found safety in a bunker in Greenland after the clock interstellar comet destroyed most of Earth.

But I know it's tough being stuck down here. It's too dangerous, so safe. Our situation is getting worse. Do we think there's anywhere that's safe from all of us?

00:08:12
Speaker 3: So what do you think we do there? We sell emotion? How we play roles in the class Lives parents. She links boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends and help them connect to what's missing. I'm just an actor. I don't know how to help people. What I'm offering here is a chance to play roles with a real meaning. What do you mean me for? We need a talking to white guy.

Speaker 1: Now onto the small screen. Shall we start with the weekend movie lineup on the Terrestrial channel's.
00:09:20
Speaker 2: Magazine Tonight on Emlett. The nine PM movie is called Longing. It stars Richard Gere and Diane Krueger, and it's about a business mogul who runs into his old small town girlfriend while she's visiting the big city, only to find out that they had a child together that he was unaware of. So that could be nice. And the Sunday night movie at nine pm is Reagan, which is a drama based on the life of US President Ronald Reagan from his childhood to his time in the Oval Office.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: Very interesting? Does Emnett have any new series on the go?
00:09:52
Speaker 2: This week? On Monday the fifteenth is the start of the Copenhagen Tests. It follows first generation Chinese America intelligence analyst Alexander Hale, who realizes his brain has been hacked, allowing access to everything he sees and hears. He's caught between shadowy agency and the unknown hackers, and he must act normal to flash out who is responsible and prove where his allegiances lie. It stars Samuel Leu and Melissa Barrera. And then on Wednesday the fourteenth at ten pm you can catch the start of the comedy The Franchise. The show follows the crew of an unloved franchise movie fighting for their place in a savage and unruly cinematic universe. It shines a light on the secret chaos inside the world of superhero movie making, asking how exactly the cinematic sausage gets made. So that's Wednesday, fourteenth jan at ten pm.
00:10:47
Speaker 1: And then what are the British channels got in store for us?
00:10:50
Speaker 3: Well?
00:10:51
Speaker 2: Last night on BBC Britt, the first episode of season twenty five of Midsommer Murders began It's every Thursday at ten pm and return with a new set of four four length episodes packed with new mysteries and classic who Done It? You can join DCI John Barnaby and his team as they unravel the dark secrets lurking beneath the Peaceful Facade.
00:11:15
Speaker 1: Putting that one in the Diary Liqua.
00:11:17
Speaker 2: And then on BBC UK TV from tonight at seven pm, you can catch the Weakest Link with Ramesh Ranger Nathan. The much loved Quiz Show again features celebrity contestants competing to raise money for charity, but who panics under pressure and who keeps a cool head. On BBC Lifestyle, there's the second season of Extraordinary Extensions from tonight at apm. It once again features musician and property developer Tiny Temper and he follows brave home owners as they build extraordinary extensions onto their home. So I think that could be nice.
00:11:52
Speaker 1: For a minute, I thought you were talking about the Extensions, No EXI all right, it's over. It is dreaming services. Should we start with Prime Video because they really do seem to have the biggest of the new releases.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: Listen, I'm very happy to announce that the critically acclaimed espionage drama The Night Manager is returning for a second season. It set eight years after its explosive season one finale, and Tom Hiddleston reprises his role as a British intelligence operative. Now living as Alex Goodwin. He's on a perilous new journey as he races to expose a conspiracy designed to destabilize a nation. The first three episodes will debut on Sunday, jan eleven, with a one new episode releasing every Sunday until the season finale, which is happening on Sunday, February the first Max.
00:12:44
Speaker 1: Is that normal that they launch with more than one episode?
00:12:47
Speaker 3: Yes?
00:12:47
Speaker 2: They do?
00:12:48
Speaker 1: Is that the norm? Yes?
00:12:49
Speaker 3: It is.
00:12:50
Speaker 2: Sometimes if they're not quite sure how it's going to go, if they haven't had it before, they will put out the whole season. But with Night Manager, which was super popular when it came out, and it's been eight years since we last saw it, and it's brilliant British TV espionage, spy things. I'm Tom Hiddleston and this is brilliant, So I think they want to keep us watching for longer, so then they do that. But if it's if it's a show that people aren't familiar with, and they don't know how it's going to test with audiences, then they'll put the whole thing out.
00:13:23
Speaker 1: It's a fascinating to me because it's like that whole appointment listen from traditional TV that streaming services are now also incorporating some So it's so interesting to watch which really just moves with the behavior of the audience, isn't it. So we are the ones dictating this what's Neon Netflix?
00:13:41
Speaker 2: There's the limited series It's called His and Hers and it stars John Bertholl and Tessa Thompson. When a dead body is found in the woods, it exacerbates the tension between a cop and his estrange reporter wife, both of whom suspect the other of foul play. It's an adaptation of the Allasphini thriller novel with the same name. Also dropping today is People We Meet On Vacation. It's a romantic comedy. It's an adaptation of the popular romance novel about two polar opposite friends who wonder if they could be a perfect romantic match. And then Thursday, the fifteenth of jan you can catch the Agatha Christie mystery Seven Dials and It centers around a witty young aristocrat who sets out to solve a murder mystery at a lavish country house party.
00:14:28
Speaker 1: Nice here for Agatha? What about Show Max? What should we flag?
00:14:33
Speaker 3: There?
00:14:33
Speaker 2: There's the movie Touch, which you can stream from Thursday, the fifteenth of Jan. It follows a widower's emotional journey to find his first love, who disappeared fifty years ago before his time runs out. It was selected as Iceland's Oscar Entry and as won several awards, which should be a good one. And then on the series side, from today you can binge the sixth seasons of The Mindy Project by comedian and series creator Mindy Kaling. Players skilled ob g y N, who's navigating the tricky waters of her personal and professional life as she pursues her dreams of becoming the perfect woman, finding the perfect man, and getting her perfect comedy ending always works so well for us. But now, if you're a sucker for punishment and long for the Ladies of six and the City, then you can binge season three of the follow up series Just like That from Monday, the twelfth of Jan. It follows our favorite glam besties, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as they navigate the complex realities of life as fifty something. So we should do a show the complex life weep.
00:15:43
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm here for it.
00:15:47
Speaker 2: I'd love to do that.
00:15:49
Speaker 1: Anything on Apple TV.
00:15:50
Speaker 2: Plus, the third season of the espionage thriller Tehran is dropping on Apple TV today. The Emmy Award winning show returns as Tomorrow's fight for survival becomes more dangerous from Wednesdays. From Wednesday, there's a thrilling second season of Hijack, starring and executive produced by Idris Alma's, about a Berlin underground train and its commuters who are taken hostage while authorities scrambled to save hundreds of lives. It starts with the first two episodes on Wednesday, and then it's followed by one episode weekly. There we go again with that style, and you can also catch the season finale of Palm Royale on Wednesday, the fourteenth of jan Now, this is the true underdog story that follows Maxine Delacourt played by Kristen Wig as she endeavors to find her footing and the cutthroat world of Palm Beach High society.
00:16:42
Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot of fun. She's great too, she is shall we finish with Disney?
00:16:46
Speaker 3: Plus?
00:16:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this one, for me seems like a redemption story for Will Smith. Eve probably doesn't see it like that, but I think we do. There's a national geographic documentary which is starring Will Smith and it's called Pole to Pole And this one is premiering on Wednesday, Journally the fourteenth, and it's a seventh part series and it follows Smith across all seven continents, exploring extreme environments, scientific research, and local cultures inspired by his lat mentor to understand how humanity lives. So I hope it helps you interesting people to forget what he last did a few years ago.
00:17:26
Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, his anger management issues, but this is such a reinvention for him. Is not really someone that I would have put forward as some sort of environmental champion, let me put it that way.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: But there was a time when he went through when he was traveling all over the world, and I think he was shark edged, diving and all sorts of interesting things, So it might have been something that kind of pushed them in that direction. I mean, I'm completely speculating here now, but I'm just thinking I have seen him in water looking like he's in danger. So maybe that was of environmental problem that he had or he was trying to address. But I think this one would be really interesting, and we don't often see things out there in the icy continent stuff too so, and I think it would be interesting to see him in a different kind of not fresh prince kind of vibes.
00:18:19
Speaker 1: Yes, and maybe also getting into some treacherous situations. Yes, thank you so much, So that is your entertainment for the weekend.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at event that you can enjoy this weekend while the festivities around the minstrels continue Tomorrow when troops in all their colors will compete in the next round of the Kapso Klops of Carnival Association competitions at Athland Stadium.

00:14:33
Speaker 2: There's the movie Touch, which you can stream from Thursday, the fifteenth of Jan. It follows a widower's emotional journey to find his first love, who disappeared fifty years ago before his time runs out. It was selected as Iceland's Oscar Entry and as won several awards, which should be a good one. And then on the series side, from today you can binge the sixth seasons of The Mindy Project by comedian and series creator Mindy Kaling. Players skilled ob g y N, who's navigating the tricky waters of her personal and professional life as she pursues her dreams of becoming the perfect woman, finding the perfect man, and getting her perfect comedy ending always works so well for us. But now, if you're a sucker for punishment and long for the Ladies of six and the City, then you can binge season three of the follow up series Just like That from Monday, the twelfth of Jan. It follows our favorite glam besties, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as they navigate the complex realities of life as fifty something. So we should do a show the complex life weep.
00:15:43
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm here for it.
00:15:47
Speaker 2: I'd love to do that.
00:15:49
Speaker 1: Anything on Apple TV.
00:15:50
Speaker 2: Plus, the third season of the espionage thriller Tehran is dropping on Apple TV today. The Emmy Award winning show returns as Tomorrow's fight for survival becomes more dangerous from Wednesdays. From Wednesday, there's a thrilling second season of Hijack, starring and executive produced by Idris Alma's, about a Berlin underground train and its commuters who are taken hostage while authorities scrambled to save hundreds of lives. It starts with the first two episodes on Wednesday, and then it's followed by one episode weekly. There we go again with that style, and you can also catch the season finale of Palm Royale on Wednesday, the fourteenth of jan Now, this is the true underdog story that follows Maxine Delacourt played by Kristen Wig as she endeavors to find her footing and the cutthroat world of Palm Beach High society.
00:16:42
Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot of fun. She's great too, she is shall we finish with Disney?
00:16:46
Speaker 3: Plus?
00:16:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this one, for me seems like a redemption story for Will Smith. Eve probably doesn't see it like that, but I think we do. There's a national geographic documentary which is starring Will Smith and it's called Pole to Pole And this one is premiering on Wednesday, Journally the fourteenth, and it's a seventh part series and it follows Smith across all seven continents, exploring extreme environments, scientific research, and local cultures inspired by his lat mentor to understand how humanity lives. So I hope it helps you interesting people to forget what he last did a few years ago.
00:17:26
Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, his anger management issues, but this is such a reinvention for him. Is not really someone that I would have put forward as some sort of environmental champion, let me put it that way.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: But there was a time when he went through when he was traveling all over the world, and I think he was shark edged, diving and all sorts of interesting things, So it might have been something that kind of pushed them in that direction. I mean, I'm completely speculating here now, but I'm just thinking I have seen him in water looking like he's in danger. So maybe that was of environmental problem that he had or he was trying to address. But I think this one would be really interesting, and we don't often see things out there in the icy continent stuff too so, and I think it would be interesting to see him in a different kind of not fresh prince kind of vibes.
00:18:19
Speaker 1: Yes, and maybe also getting into some treacherous situations. Yes, thank you so much, So that is your entertainment for the weekend.
