Next 'South Park' Special Fattens Up In 'The End Of Obesity'; Watch Trailer

Posted by on
  Where in the world is season 27 of South Park ? The public certainly doesn’t know. If the trades do, they’re not saying. But somehow, the next Paramount+ special is coming anyway, specifically next week. The streamer has announced “The End of Obesity” will take South Park on an Ozempic tale when it premieres May 24 in the United States and Canada, and May 25 in Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It’s somewhat better advance notice than what the previous special “ (Not Suitable For Children) ” received, as while it had “print” ads on websites and its trailer ran on YouTube , it wasn’t officially released and properly uploaded until the day of its December 20 release. The description tells that new weight loss drugs have entered the culture of South Park, to massive impact.

'The Thundermans Return' Has Wrapped Filming

Posted by on

 

The Thundermans Return, the reunion movie for the 2013-2018 Nickelodeon superhero sitcom The Thundermans has wrapped after about a month of filming.

Series stars Kira Kosarin and Jack Griffo, who play twins Phoebe and Max Thunderman and are executive producers of the movie, have done a lot to chronicle the production with numerous photos and videos across their socials, including YouTube. Not to undersell how much Rosa Blasi, who plays mom Barb Thunderman, has done as well.

In addition, it’s been announced that Harvey Guillén, whose star power skyrocketed since the show’s end and his casting in FX’s What We Do In The Shadows series, will be reprising his role as cousin Blobbin in the film. He appeared in 8 episodes across the original series’s 4-season and 98-episode run, debuting in season 1’s “Weekend Guest”, and last appearing in season 4’s “Z’s All That”. Blobbin, also a superhero, had inherited his father’s wealth in his first appearance and had a time machine in another. When the film was announced in early March, there were promises of “show favorites, new villains and familiar locations”. Even this recurring character is a good start, well beyond the closer recurring characters the show had.

The Thundermans Return also stars Addison Riecke as Nora, Diego Velazquez as Billy, Maya Le Clark as youngest child Chloe, and Chris Tallman as dad Hank. The film’s plot centers around the superpowered family beginning a new era of superhero crime fighting. However, this suffers an apparent setback as a failed mission sends them back to Hiddenville. Hank and Barb enjoy their return, with Billy and Nora looking forward to a normal high school experience, but Max and Phoebe are eager to get back their superhero status. Series creator and executive producer Jed Spingarn fills those roles again for The Thundermans Return, while also writing the script. Trevor Kirschner, who previously directed episodes of the series, is the film’s director as well. The other executive producers are Dan Cross and David Hoge.

Guillén can be heard starring as Perrito in Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, Damian Wayne on Harley Quinn, and Funny the Funhouse on Mickey Mouse Funhouse. On the big screen he will next be seen in Blue Beetle in a still yet-to-be-revealed role and just joined an all-Latino reimagination of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day for Disney+. The Thundermans Return has no premiere date but is likeliest headed to Paramount+, if not a more layered release strategy. The Thundermans is currently streaming on the service as well.
