So it’s June 26 on Peacock right? I’m confused bc my friend said it’s already out??
High-gloss blend of ambition music and dread sounds like every trailer ever. But Chloe looks gorgeous so whatever, I’ll watch.
Wait I thought Lucien Laviscount was done filming Emily in Paris like ages ago? Also ABFF is in Miami but people were in Mykonos so are they mixing scenes or something? Idk I’m lost.
I don’t even know what Strung is about besides that violinist chick. Like is it horror? or a drama? The “enabling family secrets” part sounds kinda like those Lifetime movies but with rich people. Also ABFF premiere then Peacock later… so it’s basically gonna be streaming only and not theater? just asking.
