In a recent interview, López revealed she’s deep into the writing process for the next season. She emphasizes a complete departure from previous seasons, promising “different characters, different setting, different story.” This news suggests an exciting standalone story, much like the show’s earlier format.

Netflix has just released the shark movie Under Paris, so let’s dive into it. Bérénice Bejo (The Artist) steps forward as Sophia, a shark expert trying to track a mako shark—or at least she thinks that’s what it is. After facing a tragedy, she is called upon once more to hunt the killer when it shows up in France’s waterways as a significant event approaches. The first thing you’ll notice is the dubbing. It’s not great. I wish they would release the original and provide a closed caption because the dubbing is pretty distracting. The story is exciting and unique, earning it bonus points in my book. It’s not the same shark movie we’ve seen repeatedly. It takes a few twists along the way that will surprise you. I wish the secondary characters were a little more fleshed out, but they are primarily snacks for the predator. There was one death I didn’t expect and I am so thankful the
