Chasing Happiness follows the Brothers’ journey from their childhood in New Jersey, to pop superstardom, to their stunning breakup, to reconnecting and reuniting for their history-making smash #1 single “Sucker.”

Filled with never-before-seen footage of the brothers’ early days, Chasing Happiness is a moving, personal look at the Jonas Brothers’ journey from a family struggling to make ends meet, to pop superstardom, to an abrupt hiatus that shocked the world. As Nick, Joe, and Kevin separate and try to find their footing as individuals, Chasing Happiness goes beyond the headlines and behind the scenes, as they build their own successful lives and careers outside of the band, and ultimately rebuild their relationships as siblings and rekindle a musical spark that inspires their upcoming album, “Happiness Begins.”

Chasing Happiness is from Philymack and Federal Films in association with Polygram Entertainment and Amazon Studios, with executive producers Phil McIntyre, John Varvatos, Monte Lipman, and Dana Sano and producers Reece Pearson, Steve Ecclesine, and Grant MacDowell. Chasing Happiness is directed by John Lloyd Taylor.

Absentia Season 2 – Official Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ7Dtksakzg

To catch up on Season One, view this recap video: HERE

Absentia centers on FBI agent Emily Byrne (Stana Katic), who had disappeared without a trace and was declared dead after hunting one of Boston’s most notorious serial killers. Six years later, Emily was found in a cabin in the woods, barely alive, and with no memory of the years she was missing. Returning home to learn her husband, Special Agent Nick Durand (Patrick Heusinger), had remarried and her son, Flynn (Patrick McAuley), was being raised by another woman, she soon found herself implicated in a new series of murders.

In season two, after tracking down and killing her abductor, Emily struggles to define her new normal as a mother and a survivor of six years of physical and mental torture. Even while she rebuilds her relationship with her son, Emily still cannot shake the darkness of her past. She enlists Boston police detective Tommy Gibbs (Angel Bonanni) in a secret investigation of her mysterious history. When the case turns deadly, she risks everything to uncover the truth and protect her family.

In addition to Katic, Absentia’s renowned ensemble cast includes Patrick Heusinger (Jack Reacher 2: Never Go Back), Cara Theobold (Downton Abbey), Neil Jackson (Westworld), Angel Bonanni (False Flag), Paul Freeman (The Dogs of War) and Patrick McAuley (The Conjuring 2). Joining the cast for the second season are Matthew Le Nevez (The Widow) and Natasha Little (The Night Manager). Le Nevez plays Cal Isaac, a rugged ex-Navy SEAL with a disarmingly upbeat disposition, and Little stars as Julianne Gunnarsen, a chilly FBI agent brought to the Boston Field Office to help capture the perpetrator of a deadly terrorist attack.

Too Old To Die Young – June 14

012218.jpg

Groundbreaking filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn expands his boundary-pushing approach to storytelling with the 10-part limited series Too Old to Die Young.

As the lives of a young police officer and the heir to a Mexican drug cartel collide, their parallel journeys through the criminal underbelly of Los Angeles guarantee a catastrophic confrontation. Martin (Miles Teller), a cop on a career fast-track, and Jesus (Augusto Aguilera), a budding drug kingpin, are both operating on the seedier side of the San Fernando Valley when a violent act of revenge ties their fates together inextricably.

Under the tutelage of ex-FBI agent turned vigilante Viggo (John Hawkes), Martin attempts to atone for his role in the death of a fellow officer by assassinating the most depraved criminals he can find, while Jesus steps up to lead the Los Angeles branch of his family’s crime empire, as inevitable tragedy envelops them both.

Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, The Neon Demon), who also co-wrote all 10 episodes of the series with Ed Brubaker (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, “Angel of Death”), the series stars Miles Teller (Only the Brave, Whiplash), William Baldwin (Backdraft, The Squid and the Whale), 3 John Hawkes (The Sessions, Winter’s Bone), Jena Malone (The Neon Demon, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay), Augusto Aguilera (“Snowfall,” “Chasing Life”), Nell Tiger Free (“Game of Thrones,” Broken), Babs Olusanmokun (“Black Mirror,” “The Defenders”), Hart Bochner (Die Hard, Breaking Away), Celestino Cornielle (The Fate of the Furious, “Bosch”) and Cristina Rodlo (Miss Bala, The Condemned).
