'Happy Face' Brings In The Kids And A Recurring David Harewood

  The upcoming Paramount+ drama series Happy Face has found all of its series regulars and jonesed for its recurring talk show host and Melissa’s boss. The final series regulars found are  Khiyla Aynne   and Benjamin Mackey, while Supergirl alum David Harewood is racking in the ratings. As one could surmise, Aynne and Mackey play Melissa (played by Annaleigh Ashford )’s kids with husband Ben, played by James Wolk . Specifically, Aynne  plays Hazel, their  secure and happy  15-year-old daughter who initially believes that her mother is off on a simple business trip. However,  she soon starts suspecting that something dire is going on, beginning to investigate and uncover the shocking circumstances of her mother’s past.  Mackey plays  lively   9-year-old Max, who takes his stable upbringing for granted and doesn’t grow his older sister’s suspicions regarding mom’s sudden absence. He instead steadfastly believes she’s producing some sort of on-location segment for  The Dr. Greg Show . A

'Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts' Streaming Rollout Date Confirmed

 


It's going to be the most Transformers week on Paramount+ yet! Not only do season-finishing episodes of Transformers: EarthSpark hit the streamer on Friday, July 28, but the franchise's latest theatrical film, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will also be arriving on the service this week, in fact tomorrow, Tuesday July 25.

This was revealed in a Showtime newsletter that mostly urged subscribers to make their way to Paramount+ as the standalone Showtime OTT winds down. The date marks day 46 since the film's June 9 theatrical release, which means like with Scream VI and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Paramount really is sticking with 45-day theatrical windows, while over at Disney, Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania have indicated that studio is returning to 90-day theatrical windows.


Transformers: Rise of the Beasts stars Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback as Noah Diaz and Elena Wallace who team up with the Autobots, Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen), Bumblebee, Arcee (Liza Koshy), and Mirage (Pete Davidson), with Maximals Optimus Primal (Ron Perlman), Airazor (Michelle Yeoh) and Rhinox to stop the villain Scourge (Peter Dinklage) and his Terrorcons, including Nightbird and Battletrap from using an ancient artifact to summon Unicron (Colman Domingo) and destroy Earth. It was the film that finally started tapping into the nostalgia of Beast Wars after a decade plus of tapping exclusively into ‘80s G1…while also building a shared universe with a highly publicized ending.

With the film making $471 million globally at the box office, it's been reported (after opening weekend) that the film's director Steven Caple Jr. is in talks to direct the next installment. The film hits Paramount+ on July 25. When the film arrives tomorrow, it joins previous films Dark of the Moon, Age of Extinction, and Bumblebee, the latter of which the streamer held a livetweet watch party for on Monday night to commemorate the occasion.
