Cole Sprouse revealed he was arrested while protesting the brutal and tragic death of George Floyd. 

The Riverdale star recounted his experience on Instagram. He said the arrest happened over the weekend in Santa Monica, California, and said he wanted to get his version of the story. 

“Before the voracious horde of media sensationalism decides to somehow turn it about me, there’s a clear need to speak about the circumstances: Black Lives Matter. Peace, riots, looting, are an absolutely legitimate form of protest. The media is by nature only going to show the most sensational, which only proves a long standing racist agenda,” Cole wrote.

“I was detained when standing in solidarity, as were many of the final vanguard within Santa Monica.”

He added that there was no getting out of the arrest as it was set up that way by police noting: “We were given the option to leave, and were informed that if we did not retreat, we would be arrested. When many did turn to leave, we found another line of police officers blocking our route, at which point, they started zip tying us.”

A group of peaceful protesters, myself included, were arrested yesterday in Santa Monica. So before the voracious horde of media sensationalism decides to somehow turn it about me, there’s a clear need to speak about the circumstances: Black Lives Matter. Peace, riots, looting, are an absolutely legitimate form of protest. the media is by nature only going to show the most sensational, which only proves a long standing racist agenda. I was detained when standing in solidarity, as were many of the final vanguard within Santa Monica. We were given the option to leave, and were informed that if we did not retreat, we would be arrested. When many did turn to leave, we found another line of police officers blocking our route, at which point, they started zip tying us. It needs to be stated that as a straight white man, and a public figure, the institutional consequences of my detainment are nothing in comparison to others within the movement. This is ABSOLUTELY not a narrative about me, and I hope the media doesn’t make it such. This is, and will be, a time about standing ground near others as a situation escalates, providing educated support, demonstrating and doing the right thing. This is precisely the time to contemplate what it means to stand as an ally. I hope others in my position do as well. I noticed that there are cameras that roll within the police cruisers during the entirety of our detainment, hope it helps. I’ll speak no more on the subject, as I’m (1) not well versed enough to do so, (2) not the subject of the movement, and (3) uninterested in drawing attention away from the leaders of the #BLM movement. I will be, again, posting the link in my story to a comprehensive document for donations and support.

Sprouse reiterated that he did not want the narrative to focus on him and take away from the important issue they were protesting.

When Is Season 3 of ‘Ginny and Georgia’ Coming Out?

Published

on

When Will Season 3 of Ginny and Georgia Premiere

Ginny and Georgia centers on the heartwarming yet extremely complicated bond between a mother and her daughter after they put down roots in a New England town. 

With so many compelling storylines and incredible characters of all ages, it’s no wonder that the coming-of-age drama has become a fan favorite among Netflix audiences. 

The second season of Ginny and Georgia premiered on Jan. 5, 2023, which means that a third season is likely far off, especially considering Brianne Howey, who plays Georgia, just announced her first pregnancy, which will possibly delay filming.

Of course, Netflix has to renew the series for a third season. As of March 28, 2023, it has not given the show a green light for additional episodes. 

Fans shouldn’t be too worried, however, as a renewal is very likely considering the show’s performance, the rabid fan base, and the fact that season 3 ended on such a cliffhanger—Netflix knows that fans will be clamoring for another season to see how the situation resolves itself. 

As for a premiere date, well, there isn’t one just yet. Until the series is renewed and production begins, it’s a bit too difficult to come up with a date for new episodes. The season could likely arrive in February 2024 if we’re looking at the previous premieres for both seasons 1 and 2, which both debuted at the start of 2021 and 2023, respectively.

But with Howey’s pregnancy thrown into the mix, that could delay things a bit, and it wouldn’t be the worst thing if the series returned during the summer when there’s a lull in content and fans are seeking out something to binge-watch and get invested in. 

Either way, when Netflix makes an official decision, you’ll be the first to know as we’ll update this article accordingly! 

Until then, you can gear up for the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Riverdale, and Firefly Lane

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 — Release Date Schedule for Episodes

Published

Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode Schedule

It’s curtain call for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

The groundbreaking and whip-smart period comedy, which debuted in 2017—about a late ’50s housewife named Miriam “Midge” Maisel who sets out on a career as a comic defying all odds and expectations placed on her by society—is gearing up to enter its fifth and final season.

The beginning of the end for Amazon Prime Video’s long-running series will begin on Friday, April 14, 2023 with the final three episodes airing at once. 

The remaining episodes—there will be a total of 9 in season 5—will premiere on a weekly basis. 

Here’s the full episode schedule for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5:

  • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode 1 – April 14, 2023
  • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode 2 – April 14, 2023
  • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode 3 – April 14, 2023
  • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode 4 – April 21, 2023
  • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode 5 – April 28, 2023
  • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode 6 – May 5, 2023
  • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode 7 – May 12, 2023
  • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode 8 – May 19, 2023
  • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode 9 – May 26, 2023

You can check out the new trailer for the upcoming season, dubbed “This is it, this is the big break,” below:

“I want a big life, I want to break every single rule there is,” Midge can be heard saying in the first few seconds of the trailer, setting the scene for what fans can expect from the last hurrah. 

Scenes woven through the fast-paced trailer—though not faster than Midge’s dialogue—reveal that she’s achieved what she’s set out to as she signs autographs and Suzy gets properly fitted for a suit. They do face some setbacks, however, as we see Midge breaking down in the bathroom, Joel closing a door looking distraught, and Abe lamenting that no one who has ever accomplished anything of worth is ever happy.

While there’s sadly no Lenny Bruce sighting throughout the trailer, fans will be pleased to know that Milo Ventimiglia makes a return, though it’s unclear what role he’ll play in Midge’s life moving forward—and the train door closing on him is not a promising sign.
