Hulu’s “Solar Opposites” Parodied Stephen King’s “The Mist”!

Published

on

A third season of “Solar Opposites” has just crash-landed on Hulu, once again delivering nonstop insanity that constantly trickles into the horror space.

One of the best shows your not watching, “Solar Opposites” often taps into horror, taking the sci-fi chaos into ultra-violent and extremely gory territory.

This season isn’t as crazy as the previous two, but there are still several horror homages, including the season finale , which is a full-blown parody of Stephen King’s The Mist, which was adapted for the big screen in 2077 by Frank Darabont.

In the episode, the Solars struggle to tame an out-of-control Pupa that has exploded into a mist that’s bringing out the monster inside teenagers.

In other news, expect a “Solar Opposites” Halloween Special this fall.

Here are a few photos. Watch the episode right now on Hulu.

Thandiwe Newton Joins the Cast of “Wednesday” Season 2

Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.

Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.

Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.

“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…

“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.

We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
