Disney Channel Orders Second Season of Time Travel Comedy; Selena Gomez Returning for 3rd Season of HBO Max Series

Disney Channel has picked up a second season of its time-travel half-hour mystery series, Secrets of Sulphur Springs. Since its Jan. 15 premiere, the series has reached 8.4 million total viewers, ranked as the #1 series across all television with Girls 6-11, and the #1 live-action series on DisneyNow. Filmed and set in Louisiana, the first season of Secrets of Sulphur Springs followed 12-year-old Griffin Campbell (Preston Oliver), whose world has been upended by his father, Ben (Josh Braaten), after he moves the family from Chicago to take ownership of an abandoned hotel property, The Tremont. Now, the family—which also includes Griffin's mother, Sarah (Kelly Frye), and his younger twin siblings, Wyatt (Landon Gordon) and Zoey (Madeleine McGraw)—live in The Tremont in hopes of restoring it to the lively vacation destination it once was. On his first day at his new school, Griffin hears rumors that the hotel is haunted by the ghost of Savannah (Elle Graham), a girl who disappeared decades ago. He soon meets and befriends Harper (Kyliegh Curran), a thrill-seeking classmate, and they discover a secret portal that allows them to travel back in time and uncover clues about the town mystery.
Season two will take a deeper look into Harper's family history and their connection to The Tremont hotel. What will start as a fact-finding mission will soon turn into a high-stakes adventure that could forever change her friendship with Griffin. The first season of Secrets of Sulphur Springs is currently streaming on Disney+ and available in DisneyNow. Secrets of Sulphur Springs is from creator, writer and executive producer Tracey Thomson (The Young and the Restless). Charles Pratt Jr. (STAR) also serves as showrunner and executive producer. The series is produced by Gwave Productions, LLC, and carries a TV-PG parental guideline.
HBO Max announced that global superstar Selena Gomez's cooking show Selena + Chef has been renewed for a third season. Selena Gomez of course got her big break on the Disney Channel comedy The Wizards of Waverly Place and it returning to the comedy world in Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. New episodes of the unscripted series will premiere later this year, exclusively on HBO Max. The series is executive produced by Gomez for July Moon Productions, along with executive producers Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, and Leah Hariton on behalf of Industrial Media's The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC) and Melissa Stokes. The first season had 10 episodes in August 2020 and the second season had 9 episodes in January 2021. In season three, Selena will continue her cooking adventures at home with a new roster of all-star chefs that will help her whip up delicious dishes. Like in its first two seasons, each chef will highlight a different charity each episode. To date, the series has raised $360,000 for 23 nonprofit organizations.
