\nCrazy Rich Asians
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only thing crazier than love is family<\/p>\n

Native New Yorker Rachel Chu (Constance Wu – Fresh Off the Boat) accompanies her long-time boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding – A Simple Favor), to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore. Excited about visiting Asia for the first time but nervous about meeting Nick’s family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life.<\/p>\n

It turns out that he is not only the scion of one of the country’s wealthiest families but also one of its most sought-after bachelors. Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother (Michelle Yeoh – Star Trek: Discovery) taking aim. And it soon becomes clear that while money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate things.<\/p>\n

The Handmaid’s Tale<\/strong>
\nSeason 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning drama series returns with a second season shaped by Offred’s (Elisabeth Moss – The West Wing, Mad Men) pregnancy and her ongoing fight to free her future child from the dystopian horrors of Gilead. “Gilead is within you” is a favorite saying of Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd – Philadelphia).
\nIn Season Two, Offred and all our characters will fight against – or succumb to – this dark truth.<\/p>\n
