Danish post-apocalyptic series The Rain has received a quick renewal for Season 2.

The Rain Season 2 is officially happening!

Netflix didn’t wait long to issue a renewal for the dark Danish television series, The Rain, which only just premiered on the streaming giant on May 4. The series puts a group of young survivors into what could be described as a Nimbus Apocalypse, in which a virus contained in rainfall has wiped out most of humanity. However, the constant threat of virulent weather hasn’t put a damper on the relationships amongst the young survivors in their perilous series-depicted migration and the subsequent interpersonal issues and rocky romances.

The Rain was created by the trio of Jannik Tai Mosholt, Christian Potalivo and Esben Toft Jacobsen. While, Netflix (as usual,) is keeping a tight lid on any numerical achievements for the series, it does justify the renewal by claiming that the show “resonated with audiences globally, including the U.S, UK, Brazil, France and Germany as well as its native Denmark.”

As co-creator and head writer Mosholt expresses of The Rain Season 2 renewal:

"We're so thankful for the success of the show and the overwhelmingly positive response from audiences. We’re really excited to be able to do a second season of The Rain. We still have a lot of stories to tell about our characters and much more to explore in our universe, and can't wait for everyone to be able to see it."

Peter Bose of producing studio Miso Film also lauds the renewal, stating:

"The response to the show has been fantastic, and we are so proud to continue our collaboration with Netflix on this second season of The Rain.”

No new cast members or plot details have been revealed for The Rain Season 2. The first season’s main cast consisted of names such as Alba August, Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen and Mikkel Boe Følsgaard. However, the closing moments of the season teased an evolution of the showery-apocalyptic mythology, with the character Sten (Johannes Bah Khunke), boss of Apollon (the company that built the bunkers), revealed to have figured out a way to control and weaponize the virus.

The Rain Season 2 Release Date

The Rain Season 2 doesn’t have a release date, but the series is confirmed to go into production later this year, set for a 2019 launch.

There's Only One Blockbuster Video Left in the United States

The true end of an American institution draws closer, as after two closings in Alaska, only one Blockbuster Video remains in business in the U.S. It might seem like a lifetime ago to many, but before subscription streaming services like Netflix and Amazon dominated the home video rental market, the good old-fashioned video store was king. The biggest player in that industry up until its final gasps as a major force was Blockbuster Video, which employed over 58,000 people and operated over 4500 stores in the U.S. at the company's peak in 2004. Blockbuster Video was founded in 1985, naturally right around the beginning of movie rentals as a whole. The company dominated the 80s and 90s, and became culturally ubiquitous. Of course, it wasn't always widely known for good reasons. Things like lacking supplies of new releases, annoying late fees, and Blockbuster's tendency to put surrounding independent video stores out of business by undercutting their prices, all became inf

WARNING: The following article contains SPOILERS for Disenchantment . - Fans of Matt Groening's work will not be surprised to learn that Disenchantment - the new fantasy series Groening created for Netflix - contains a number of Easter eggs and references to his earlier work. The early seasons of The Simpsons   often made reference to Groening's comic strip Life In Hell , and the sci-fi comedy  Futurama   also paid tribute to Groening's past creations - even before an official crossover  was arranged between Springfield's favorite family and the employees of Planet Express. To that end, we've attempted to inventory all of the subtle nods and sight-gags in Disenchanted that pay tribute to the earlier animated series and comics - from familiar wigs to a potential shared universe.

Harry Potter: 20 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Voldemort

Tom Marvolo Riddle started out as an orphan at a muggle orphanage. He was convinced that he had a destiny greater than mundane obscurity. Then Albus Dumbledore arrived and told Riddle that he was a wizard. Riddle jumped at the chance to go to Hogwarts. However, he had already developed cruel and selfish tendencies - tendencies that he carefully worked to hide from the Hogwarts students and staff. He quietly expanded his knowledge, power, and influence until he reemerged many years later as Lord Voldemort. Voldemort spread such a reign of terror across Great Britain that the magical community as a whole feared to speak his name. They only referred to him as “You Know Who” or “He Who Must Not Be Named.” Just when he was at the height of his power, Voldemort was defeated and banished after an encounter with an infant. Harry Potter became known as the Boy Who Lived. For the rest of his life, Voldemort was obsessed with regaining his power and destroying Harry Potter, the supposed chos
