Now and Then trailer reveals blackmail and hidden secrets

By

Next month, Apple TV+ is unleashing Now and Then, a new bilingual thriller that follows six friends across two decades, and the secret that has strained their bond for 20 years. In the first trailer for the series, we witness the beach party where things went wrong. One of the friends, Alejandro, suddenly becomes deathly ill. And as the group races to save Alejandro, they end up taking someone else’s life in a fatal car accident.

The decision to keep the accident a secret may have kept the group out of jail, but it opens them up to blackmail in the present. It also means that they’ve made an enemy out of Flora (Rosie Perez), a police detective who is determined to expose the friends when they reenter her orbit as murder suspects.

10 Netflix shows that were canceled too soon
The three main characters from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, standing together.

Many of the great Netflix original series have lasted for quite a few seasons. But sometimes, even a great show gets the ax before it plays out the way fans think it should. From cancellations prior to a satisfying ending to premature cancellations of shows that had actually been well-received, fans are puzzled by some of Netflix's decisions.

Among the many Netflix shows that were canceled too soon are titles across every genre, including expensive productions, prequel series to old favorites, and shows that were or may eventually be resurrected in some fashion. It's not over till it's over, after all. But these shows never got the chance to complete their runs.

On February 28, 1993, the U.S. government attempted to enter the Mount Carmel Center ranch housing members of the Branch Davidian religious cult. They were executing a search warrant for the alleged possession of a stockpile of illegal weapons, including ones members had allegedly modified for automatic firing capabilities. They were also  seeking out the leader David Koresh in hopes of a peaceful surrender. But the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) agents did not expect the gunfight that would ensue.

The 51-day standoff that marked one of the largest such conflicts in the country's history, and the tragic end to the story, is chronicled in Waco: American Apocalypse. The three-part Netflix docuseries features never-before-seen material and interviews from law enforcement, ATF agents, FBI snipers, journalists, and survivors.

Threesome actress Matilda Källström on sex scenes, intimacy, and working with Lucien Laviscount
A man and a woman dance in Threesome.

When you first hear the title of the new Viaplay series Threesome, chances are the first thing you think of is sex. The new eight-episode show wastes no time in getting to the titular act, which unfolds in explicit but tasteful detail, but what's surprising is that it uses a deliberate provocation to get audiences hooked on the central heroine's emotional journey, which unfolds in equally raw and honest scenes throughout the series.

Digital Trends sat down with Threesome's lead actress, Matilda Källström, to discuss how her character, Siri, uses sex as a means of self-discovery, how filming the show's sex scenes was necessary, and working with Lucien Laviscount before he became famous with the hit Netflix show, Emily in Paris.
