WHAT'S NEW ON NETFLIX "Selling Sunset" - Season 6 The hustle to be the best and brightest in California's luxury real estate market continues when Season 6 of the smash-hit reality series "Selling Sunset" premieres on Netflix Friday, May 19. With new agents, new drama and even more ultra-luxurious properties, this new season promises to come back in with a bang as the crew from The Oppenheim Group bring all of their personal and professional drama to the small screen. As owners and twin brothers Jason and Brett Op- penheim work to stay at the top of L.A.'s high-end real estate world, real estate agents Chrishell Stause, Heather El Moussa, Davina Potratz, Mary Fitzgerald, Chelsea Lazkani, Emma Hernan and Amanza Smith return to the screen as they bal- ance their cutthroat work lives with new relationships, expanding families and (as always) a wealth of personal drama. And while se- ries regulars Christine Quinn, Maya Vander and Vanessa Villela will not be returning to the cast for the new season, audiences will be treated to the arrival of Bre Tiesi and Nicole Young for Season 6. The series comes from executive producer Adam DiVello, known for his work on fellow drama-packed reality shows "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County." WHAT'S NEW ON HULU "White Men Can't Jump" (2023) Come together to win it all with the modern remake of the hit 1992 sports comedy "White Men Can't Jump" when the new Hulu Origi- nal film premieres Friday, May 19, on the streamer. While the 1992 film starred Woody Harrelson ("True Detective") and Wesley Snipes ("Blade," 1998) as the orig- inal streetball hustlers, this new it- eration stars multi-platinum rap superstar Jack Harlow ("First Class") in his film debut, alongside "American Soul," "Power" and "Teen Wolf" star Sinqua Walls as Jeremy and Kamal. While Jeremy is a former basketball star whose ca- reer was stalled by injuries, Kamal is a once-promising player who de- railed his own future in the sport. As the pair of hustlers take on the Los Angeles courts, the two — seemingly completely opposite — men learn they may have more in common than they could have ever imagined. From 20th Century Stu- dios, "White Men Can't Jump" is directed by Calmatic ("House Par- ty," 2023), written by Kenya Barris and Doug Hall (both of "Black- ish") and based on the original story by Ron Shelton ("Bull Dur- ham," 1988).

From cre- ator Shea Serrano ("Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook Ameri- ca"), "Primo" is a single-camera coming-of-age comedy inspired by Serrano's own experiences growing up in San Antonio. The series follows teenager Rafa Gonzales (Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, "A Good Person," 2023), who is being raised in the city by his mother, Drea (Christina Vidal, "The Terminal List") and his five overbearing uncles — Rollie (Johnny Rey Diaz, "Grey's Anato- my"), Mike (Henri Esteve, "Grown-ish"), Ryan (Carlos San- tos, "Gentefied"), Jay (Jonathan Medina, "Walker: Indepen- dence") and Mondo (Efrain Villa, "Better Call Saul"). As Rafa nears the end of high school, finds the girl of his dreams and works on his very real chance to be the first person in his family to go to college, "Primo" finds Rafa, his family, his friends (and his crush) affecting each other's lives in unexpected ways, help- ing them all to grow whether they like it or not.
