Welcome to our monthly roundup of everything coming to the streaming service Stan. This month’s highlights include the premiere of Made For Love starring Cristin Milioti, the premiere of Rutherford Falls starring Ed Helms, as well as the fourth season of No Activity, which returns in animated form.
Here are the full highlights of everything to keep your eyes on this month.
Starring Ray Romano and Cristin Milioti and premiering on HBO Max in the US, Made for Love is a dark, absurd, and cynically poignant story of divorce and revenge, which follows Hazel Green (Milioti), a thirty-something woman on the run, taking refuge with her ageing widower father Herbert (Romano) after 10 years in a suffocating marriage to Byron Gogol (Billy Magnussen), a controlling tech billionaire. Soon she discovers that her husband has implanted a monitoring device – the Made for Love chip – in her brain, allowing him to track her, watch her, and know her “emotional data” as she tries to regain her independence. Through the chip, Byron’s able to watch Hazel’s every move as she flees to her desert hometown under the protection of her ageing widower father and his synthetic partner, Diane.
Guest starring Kevin Bacon, Bob Odenkirk, Elle Fanning, Will Forte, Joe Keery, Amy Sedaris and more, the animated fourth season of the Stan Original Series No Activity finds Special Agent Nick Cullen (Patrick Brammall) realising his dream of joining the FBI, but he soon discovers that being an FBI agent isn’t that special after all. After being assigned to a seemingly dull observation detail, he finds a potential career case in the form of an emerging cult. A large scale operation soon takes aim at the cult but it’s unclear which side will break first. Despite the promotion, Cullen’s path continues to cross with former partner Judd Toldbeck’s (Tim Meadows), who adjusts to life with a new partner of his own.
From the creator of Sex and the City, Younger stars two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster with Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, Miriam Shor, Nico Tortorella, Peter Hermann, Molly Bernard and Charles Michael Davis. The series follows Liza Miller (Foster), a talented editor navigating the highly competitive world of publishing while juggling the complications of mixing business with pleasure and facing the lie she created about her age to land her dream job. In season six we finally saw Liza’s big secret revealed with an unforgettable cliff hanger ending to the season. Who knows what our favourite characters will get up to in the final season.
The Emmy Award Winning series is back with another season finding Bumpy Johnson (Academy Award Winner, Forest Whitaker) battling the New York Crime families for control of the lucrative and murderous “French Connection,” the pipeline for heroin that runs from Marseilles to New York Harbor. With a distribution syndicate that includes black crime bosses from other major U.S. cities, Bumpy takes a cue from his friend Malcolm X’s message of black economic nationalism. His ambitious plan will face challenges from not only the Italians, but his wife Mayme, daughter Elise, rival Adam Clayton Powell, prosecutor Robert Morgenthau, and even Malcolm himself. Once again, Godfather of Harlem explores the collision of the criminal underworld and civil rights in the colourful, tumultuous year of 1964.In addition to Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland), season two sees the return of stars Vincent D’Onofrio (Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Daredevil), Nigel Thatch (Selma, American Dreams), Ilfenesh Hadera (She’s Gotta Have It, Baywatch), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandelorian), Lucy Fry (Stan’s Wolf Creek), Rafi Gavron (A Star is Born) and Antoinette Crowe-Legacy. Cast members Erik LaRay Harvey (Luke Cage) and Demi Singleton (King Richard) have been upped to series regulars for season two.
From the co-creator of Parks and Recreation and starring Ed Helms (The Office, The Hangover), Rutherford Falls follows the events of a small town and the Native American reservation it borders when things are turned upside down by local legend and town namesake, Nathan Rutherford (Helms), who fights the moving of a historical statue. Co-created and executive produced by Michael Schur (Parks and Recreation), Ed Helms and Sierra Teller Ornelas (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Superstore), this hilarious comedy also stars Jana Schmieding (Blast), Michael Greyeyes (I Know This Much Is True), Jesse Leigh (Heathers) and Dustin Milligan (Schitt’s Creek).
