I'm watching laaaaate, 'cause Sabrina's on Netflix! Netflix announced A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter, a holiday variety music special, to stream exclusively on Netflix on Friday, December 6th at 9PM EST/ 6PM PST. It's a nonsense holiday and we're so here for it. In this special with musical guests, pop icon Sabrina Carpenter will perform songs from her holiday EP fruitcake and other iconic chart-topping holiday covers. This special will also feature show-stopping music performances, comedic guests, unexpected duets, plus many more surprises and fun cameos.
STARZ announced that Sweetpea, the new darkly comic coming-of-rage story, will premiere on Thursday, October 10 while unveiling an all-new killer trailer, key art and imagery for the Ella Purnell (Fallout, Yellowjackets) led series.
