As summer comes to a close and school is back in session, the question “what show should I watch?” is more prevalent than ever. Fear not, 5by and the social scene have your back. Here are new shows you should be tuning in to, and what’s breaking ground across all social channels this month.
In the next three weeks, keep your eyes peeled for The Walking Dead, Tim and Eric, and Homeland. All set to make their season debuts between now and early October, the collective anticipation for the three shows has America on the edge of their seats. All very different in subject matter, but each incredible in their own respect. If you can’t stand the wait, Trailer Park Boys is the show to tune into now. In it’s 8th season, TPB has been released on Netflix for binge-watchers to indulge in. The gritty, Eastern Canadian mocumentary has now made it’s way into mainstream America and it’s picking up steam with the press. Recent appearances on Jimmy Kimmel and Mashable to promote their show has proven to be highly successful.
Across daytime television, Ellen is back and she wasted no time getting back into the viral video game. Almost instantly she released a video of herself transposed in Nicki Minaj’s ‘Anaconda’ video, and in only two days, it amassed over 3.5 million views. Ellen, we missed you. Needless to say, there’s lots to look forward too this fall.
