Legacies Teaser: Chris Wood Returns as Lunatic Kai Parker in New Promo
The latest Legacies promo shows the return of Kai Parker to The Vampire Diaries universe and fans of the lovable and funny psychopath cannot wait.
Chris Wood’s return as Kai is happening on the February 6th episode.
Aside from Kai’s return being teased by Julie Plec, last week’s episode set it up with Alaric, Lizzie, and Josie getting sent away to the prison world by Alyssa Chang.
Hope spent most of the Valentine’s Day episode fighting Cupid’s evil brother and trying to get Alyssa to tell her and MG the location of the ascendant.
Unfortunately, even under a love spell, Alyssa smashed the ascendant into teeny bits thus leaving the Saltzman’s trapped in the prison world where their dear uncle Kai is locked up.

Would it be too much to ask for the return of Bonnie and Caroline, who are allegedly in Europe looking for a way to break the merge?
Kai’s return is likely to kickstart the dreaded merge that pits Lizzie and Josie against each other to see which twin is the strongest and will survive.
That is if Kait doesn’t kill them all while their visiting. He’s been trapped for so long, he’s bound to want to get some revenge on the itty bitties, now adults, who put him there in the first place.
“To save your dad and get home, you have to become a monster,” Kai is seen telling Josie in the promo as she breaks the glass containing her dark magic.
If there’s any place to unleash your inner demons, it’s the prison world.

“Controlling Britney Spears,” a surprise sequel to the Emmy-nominated documentary Framing Britney Spears, premieres tonight on Hulu and FX at 10/9c.
The sequel will feature the accounts as told by insiders with intimate knowledge of Spears’ daily life under the conservatorship. Additionally, it will include a detailed confidential report previously published by The New York Times, that disclosed Spears talking to a court investigator in which she described the conservatorship as “an oppressive and controlling tool against her.”
According to TVLine, in the exclusive New York Times investigation, “a portrait emerges of an intense surveillance apparatus that monitored every move she made.”
Producer Liz Day said, “Britney’s situation raises a lot of important questions about the conservatorship system at large and whether it is working properly. We felt that it was in the public interest to examine that.”
Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, became the solitary conservator over her estate in 2008. Through this, he gained control over the most important aspects of her life including financial and medical decisions.
13 years later, now 39 years old, Spears is in a legal battle trying to end the conservatorship altogether to regain control over her life. The next court hearing is set for Wednesday, September 29.
Fans can watch the documentary on FX or Hulu starting at 10 p.m.
The sequel comes just days before Netflix’s documentary titled Britney vs. Spears premieres on September 28.

I smell… a cook booo-ooo-ookk!
Hocus Pocus is a staple Halloween movie. Despite premiering nearly 30 years ago, it continues to be the go-to choice every Halloween.
It’s so iconic, in fact, that Freeform is airing it a whopping 14 times throughout the month of October as part of its annual “31 Nights of Halloween” schedule!
You’ll obviously need treats and potions to keep yourself and your loved ones satiated during the viewing party, which is where The Unofficial Hocus Pocus Cookbook: Bewitchingly Delicious Recipes for Fans of the Halloween Classic comes into play.
The spooky cookbook, written by Bridget Thoreson, features all the best and mysterious recipes from the 1993 film.
There’s something for everyone as some fan-favorite dishes include: Baked Witch Casserole; Mischief Night Pasta; Bones of 100 Chickens; Life Potion Soup; Dead Man’s Toes; Airhead Virgin Mocktail; and much more!
“I hope you enjoy this homage to Hocus Pocus as much as you enjoy the film itself,” author Bridget Thoreson said in the press release. “While blondies are no substitute for Bette and no cocktail is quite as funny as hearing a young girl humiliate her older brother by saying ‘Yabos,’ I hope you’ll find the recipes and references fun, delicious, and delightfully spooky, and you’ll rewatch the film again and again accompanied by the goodies in this booo-ooooo-ooook.”
The cookbook is the perfect gift for all ages, and a must-have for every fan, especially the OG ones.
Conjure up some bewitching goodies — the book can be yours for $19.95 HERE or on Amazon.
