Over two years since the Season 3 finale, ‘Westworld’ will finally return to the small screen on June 26.

A familiar face is returning to the hit HBO series Westworld for its fourth season. Series veteran James Marsden, who starred in the first and second season, is set to return for the fourth installment of the sci-fi television show. HBO announced the news at Austin’s ATX Television Festival, where Marsden made a surprise appearance on June 3 to promote the series’ upcoming season.

Since Westworld’s first episode in the fall of 2016, the show has enjoyed many years of successful streaming, earning over 50 Emmy nominations. The neo-western show follows a slew of characters in a futuristic world where everyday people can pay for the ultimate immersive experience inside a western amusement park with humanoid robots that are so technologically advanced, that they begin to develop ‘human’ characteristics like emotion, memory, and thought.

Marsden’s character, the android Teddy Flood, was a central figure in the show’s first season and a recurring character in its second season but was left out of the main plot in its third installment. The panel at the ATX Television Festival, including show creator Lisa Joy, gave no revealing details about the return of Marsden’s character to the main action. However, they did let fans in on a bit of information about what to expect from the sci-fi’s fourth season. Marsden is to be introduced to a new love interest in the upcoming return of the show, with Joy mentioning that she wanted to write a new character for Marsden’s Flood. The character’s previous love interest, Dolores Abernathy, was played by Evan Rachel Wood, whose portrayal won her the Critics Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series.

Fans of the HBO series won’t have to wait long to see their favorite stars in action, as the new season kicks off in just a few weeks on June 26.

When the Party Down revival was announced, fans were saddened to know that Lizzy Caplan wouldn’t return to play aspiring comedic actor and Henry’s on-and-off girlfriend, Casey. But, now it’s been announced that there are some pretty exciting names joining the cast: Jennifer Garner, James Marsden, Zoë Chao, and Tyrel Jackson Williams.

James Marsden as Jack Botty

It was about time for Marsden to play a character with a silly name again. Jack Botty is “an actor who plays the lead in a popular superhero franchise” who “enjoys his life, his fame, and being the center of everyone’s attention.” It’s also said that Botty will be a key recurring character.

Garner, Mardsen, Chao and Williams will all join the show’s returning stars Adam Scott, Ken Marino, Jane Lynch, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen, and Megan Mullally.

STARZ has yet to announce a premiere date for Party Down’s return.

This modern fairy tale is getting closer and closer to our screens! In an announcement on Friday, the official Facebook page of “Enchanted” shared that the long-awaited sequel “Disenchanted” is set to premiere this fall 2022.

Last August, director and producer Adam Shankman said the film had wrapped up its production.

The 2007 film “Enchanted,” which starred Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey, revolves around a cartoon princess named Giselle from Andalasia who finds herself in modern-day New York City.

The sequel will take place 15 years after “Enchanted,” where Giselle ends up questioning her happy ever and triggers new events in the real world and in Andalasia.

According to a post on Twitter, “Disenchanted” will be released exclusively on Disney Plus in 2022, but the exact date has not been confirmed. 

  “Working with Disney again has been like coming home,” said director Alan Shankman. “With Amy and this extraordinary cast, Alan and Stephen’s mind-blowing new score, and Barry and Disney’s support, I just hope to bring magic and joy to audiences around the world.”

The movie was filmed in Enniskerry, a village located in Dublin, Ireland. The village was transformed into a fairytale village containing a variety of shops that refer to popular Disney movies. These shops include: “A Whole Food World,” “A Tower of Hair,” “Smee’s Cheese,” and “Bibidi Bobidi Butchers.”

Although the trailer hasn’t been released yet, Disney revealed the plot of the sequel when they finished filming. The story will take place fifteen years after the ending of the first movie where Giselle and her family move to the suburb of Monroeville. 

Despite finding her happily ever after, Giselle begins to question if she is truly happy. This results in a series of unfortunate events that turns the lives of those living in the real world and Andalasia upside down.

Amy Adams will return as Giselle, a fairytale princess who was forced from the animated world of Andalasia by the evil Queen Narissa and found herself in the live-action world of New York City. 

The movie will also include more returning characters like Giselle’s husband Robert Philip played by Patrick Dempsey, Prince Edward played by James Marsden and Edward’s wife, Nancy Tremaine played by Frozen’s Idina Menzel. 

 “James Marsden and I have remained friends through the years, and we just have a blast,” Menzel said in an interview on Us Weekly. “We have a song together and we get to be really silly and fun.”

Speaking of songs, the sequel will include new musical numbers written by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. They originally collaborated for the first movie and received Academy Award nominations.

Hopefully, this sequel will be worth the long wait and will be able to recapture the magic of “Enchanted.”
