What You Need To Know: Desiree Akhavan is having herself quite the year having already debuted her film “The Miseducation of Cameron Post” to raves and following up with her own original series, “The Bisexual.” A wonderful continual trend of exploring LGBTQ themes on larger platforms (she also directed the superb “Appropriate Behaviour”) “The Bisexual” also wins points for starring the always amazing and often under-appreciated Maxine Peake.
Release Date: Season 1 premieres on November 16th on Hulu
“The Little Drummer Girl”
Synopsis: Park Chan-wook directs his first television drama series, with an adaptation of the John le Carré novel “The Little Drummer Girl.”
What You Need To Know: Following the success of Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Debicki helmer “The Night Manager,” it’s safe to say lots of fans will tune in for this one. “The Little Drummer Girl” boasts a brilliant cast of actors including Alexander Skarsgård, the brilliant Michael Shannon and up-and-comer Florence Pugh. As expected, le Carré will up the ante on this spy thriller and audiences will be treated to an exciting ride. Park Chan-wook is one of the most talented filmmakers today, with instant classics like “The Handmaiden” and “Oldboy.” To see his unique interpretation of le Carré’s work is merely another reason to be sure to tune in when it premieres this month and one we called, “some of the best TV of the year.”
Release Date: Season 1 premieres on November 19 on AMC
