Q: Are they going to make another season of "The Recruit"?
It's never a sure thing until the announcement comes, but a second season of Netflix's "The Recruit" is likely, at least.
For starters, the spy-themed action comedy, about a rookie CIA lawyer who is manipulated into being a sort of accidental field agent, was a hit for the streaming service. Debuting in mid-December, it was at one point Netflix's No. 1 show and was one of the most-streamed shows in general for a while.

Q: When can we expect a new season of "Forged in Fire"?
Much like the elements that its bladesmiths deal with in each episode, it seems as if History wants you to treat "Forged in Fire" itself like a force of nature.
That is to say, the cable channel has developed no real predictable pattern for when new seasons come and go. And they don't share a lot of information ahead of time when new seasons are ordered.
And so, we don't know when, or even if, a 10th season will come.

Q: I just watched "The Banshees of Inisherin," partly because of all the awards buzz it's getting, and I loved it. I thought the stars had a great dynamic -- have they done anything else together?
OK, stop whatever you're doing right now and see "In Bruges" (2008).
If you only came to 2022's "The Banshees of Inisherin" because of all the awards attention it has gotten, you won't know that it was originally billed as a reunion for stars Colin Farrell (who played good-hearted but "dull" Padraic) and Brendan Gleeson (who played Colm, his former best friend who is now calling him "dull").
