Brianna ‘Chickenfry’ LaPaglia is getting love advice from fans after experiencing a medical emergency.

The social media personality recently sparked concern after revealing she needed to undergo surgery for ovarian torsion. The incident happened over the weekend amid her date with her new boyfriend.

The update naturally had fans sharing their love and support for Brianna LaPaglia, but many could not help but implore her to depend more on her beau.

On Monday, May 11, LaPaglia took to TikTok with an over five-minute-long video about her ovarian torsion scare. She shared that she is “technically homeless” because her relocation to a new apartment was paused due to her emergency surgery and inability to move from the pain.

The silver lining in LaPaglia’s situation was having her boyfriend support her through the emotional ordeal. “I’m like, kind of dating this guy, this poor guy who is amazing, completely taking care of me,” she gushed, telling fans she didn’t know what she would have done without him.

LaPaglia doubled down on being homeless, revealing that she has been staying in her boyfriend’s home since the incident. “I feel so bad. I’m like, I need to, like, get a hotel,” she continued, claiming she felt like a burden because her lover had done too much. In her words:

“He sat with me in the ER. He sat with me through my surgery, waited for me, brought me home. Like, took care of me last night. I’m like, too much. I gotta go. I’m so sorry.”

Fans Implore The Influencer To Accept Her Boyfriend’s Kindness 

LaPaglia’s words did not sit right with fans, who assured her that she was not a burden to her boyfriend. “Let a man be kind to you. You deserve it. If he didn’t want to be there, he didn’t have to stay at the hospital. I think you have a good one,” someone pointed out.

Another agreed, noting they could relate to why LaPaglia felt like a burden to her boyfriend. “BUT let the man take care of you,” the fan continued, arguing that LaPaglia’s situation was the perfect time to know if her beau was someone who would be there in the long run.

The sentiments continued, with a TikTok user advising LaPaglia to embrace her boyfriend’s kindness and not push him away. A fellow supporter shared the same view, urging LaPaglia to let her man care for her amid her recovery. “That is guaranteed keeper behavior,” the fan declared.

The ‘PlanBri Uncut’ Host Still Plans On Moving Out

LaPaglia shed more light on her situation on her Instagram Stories, revealing her plans to move out later this week. She explained that she could not lift anything for two weeks, per her recovery rules, but her return to New York City was not postponed.

On that note, LaPaglia implored fans to send recommendations for full unpacking/organizing companies to help her unpack her belongings once the movers help her get to her place in NYC. It is unclear if she will push forward with the move amid fans’ fervent requests to depend on her boyfriend.

The Blast shared that LaPaglia’s ovarian torsion scare occurred after her date with her boyfriend. She explained that they had shared a Taco Bell around midnight, only for her stomach to start acting up 15 minutes after the meal. However, LaPaglia ignored her symptoms because her lover was fine.

Brianna ‘Chickenfry’ LaPaglia’s New Boyfriend Received Her Friends’ Approval

Earlier this year, LaPaglia started teasing her new relationship on TikTok, sharing multiple videos about the unnamed man. PEOPLE reported that in a February 20 post, LaPaglia lamented canceling a scheduled date because of stomach problems.

She noted the incident broke her heart because she enjoyed spending time with her mystery man. In another relationship update, LaPaglia revealed that her inner circle was just as taken with her beau as she was. “My friends actually like him,” she declared.

LaPaglia has since given him a unique nickname, “Meatball Man,” because she believed she had food poisoning after eating meatballs and canceled their second date. Before meeting her unnamed lover, LaPaglia was in a relationship with country music singer Zach Bryan.

The Blast reported that LaPaglia tried and failed to fall asleep because of the pain, which kept escalating, leading to her vomiting and lying on the bathroom floor. She still tried to endure the pain before it became intolerable, and she was forced to wake up her boyfriend.

The duo rushed to the emergency room, where a male doctor allegedly dismissed LaPaglia’s pain and blamed her situation on the Taco Bell she had eaten. Fortunately, LaPaglia stood her ground and underwent various tests, which revealed she had ovarian torsion.

The condition was caused by “a giant cyst” in LaPaglia’s ovaries, which was twisting her organs. She had to undergo surgery to remove the cyst and “half a liter of blood” in her pelvic floor, which was the root cause of all the pain she had experienced.

Get well soon, Brianna LaPaglia!

Pete Davidson is raising eyebrows after making a brutally candid joke at the 2026 Webby Awards amid growing rumors that his relationship with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt may be on the rocks. The comedian appeared at the 30th Annual Webby Awards on Monday night, where he accepted a Special Achievement Award for his impact on comedy. Longtime friend Machine Gun Kelly introduced Davidson during the ceremony held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

But instead of giving an emotional speech, Davidson stuck to the event’s strict short-speech format and delivered a dark punchline that instantly caught attention online. “Thanks, I’m still dead inside.”

The pointed one-liner arrived just as reports surfaced claiming Davidson and Hewitt, the mother of his five-month-old daughter Scottie Rose, have been struggling behind the scenes. The couple welcomed their daughter in December, with Davidson previously describing fatherhood as “f-cking awesome” while praising Hewitt as “a fantastic mom” in a recent interview with PEOPLE.

Insiders Claim Davidson’s Relationship Changed After Pregnancy

However, sources close to the pair recently claimed their relationship dynamic drastically shifted after Hewitt became pregnant. “There are issues, but they’re trying to figure things out together,” one source told PEOPLE earlier this month.

Another insider told the Daily Mail that Davidson’s inner circle is not shocked by the reported tension. “Not one of Pete’s friends is surprised that there are relationship issues with him and Elsie,” the source claimed. “This is what he ends up doing always. She was also warned well ahead of time in their relationship to be careful with him, because Pete loves to self-sabotage a good thing.”

Pete Davidson Reportedly Wants To Keep His Family Together

According to insiders, the pregnancy was reportedly unplanned, something sources claim immediately altered the pace and intensity of the relationship. “And now they are parents, which they love, but the pregnancy was unplanned, and their dynamic immediately changed when she became pregnant, and they are trying to figure out the next steps as they want to be together for their kid, but it just might not be their endgame,” the source alleged.

While rumors of a split continue circulating online, insiders claim the pair are not officially over yet. “They are not fully broken up, but it is absolutely leading to it,” the insider claimed.

Davidson Allegedly Doesn’t Want Daughter To Experience His Childhood Pain

The source also alleged Davidson is trying to avoid repeating aspects of his own childhood experience after losing his father, firefighter Scott Davidson, during the September 11 attacks. “[Pete] doesn’t want the relationship to end because he wants his daughter to have the luxury of having a complete family, something he wasn’t afforded himself,” the insider said.

Meanwhile, Hewitt appeared to hint at the emotional weight of motherhood in a Mother’s Day post shared just one day before Davidson’s Webby appearance. “We’re all here because of a mother’s sacrifice to make herself your first home. i got to be Scottie’s,” she wrote. “Greatest honor of my life. happy mother’s day.”

Machine Gun Kelly Praised Pete Davidson’s ‘Fearless’ Comedy

Davidson’s appearance at the Webby Awards also came amid backlash surrounding controversial jokes he recently made during “The Roast of Kevin Hart.” While introducing Davidson at the awards show, Machine Gun Kelly praised the comedian for refusing to censor himself.

“He was sharing a lot of his jokes that he was going to do for the Kevin Hart roast last week, and what stuck out to me was that he would tell me some of the jokes, and he never asked me, ‘Oh, is this too much?’ or ‘Is it gonna offend anybody?’” MGK said. “He just told me the jokes, and it made me realize that, you know, he’s fearless, like great comedy is supposed to be raw, authentic, and he puts his own self on the line to make us all laugh and think.”

Davidson recently sparked outrage after making controversial jokes involving conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s assassination and rapper Kanye West during the Netflix roast event. At one point, Davidson joked, “I was in a beef with Kanye, so I’ve taken shots from better gay Nazis.”

The comedian previously feuded publicly with West during Davidson’s relationship with Kim Kardashian, a conflict that escalated heavily across social media in 2022.

Macaulay Culkin continues to look back on his intimate bond with the late actress Catherine O’Hara months after her passing.

Although their relationship started off with an on-screen mother-son role in “Home Alone,” Culkin and O’Hara soon formed a connection that translated into their personal lives.

Now, the former child star is opening up about how her demise left him pondering what could have been if she were alive.

In a recent interview, Culkin admitted that O’Hara’s death came as a shock to him because they had “unfinished business” to handle.

“When Catherine passed away in January, that hit me. That hit me pretty good, ’cause, you know, it was just too soon. And I felt that we had unfinished business,” the actor told Gentleman’s Journal.

Although Culkin didn’t go into detail, he admitted feeling indebted to the late veteran, who was a major presence in his career, starting from his “Home Alone” beginnings.

O’Hara’s guidance was evident when Culkin earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2023, and she gave an endearing speech at the ceremony. Reflecting on his regret, the “Zootopia” actor said, “I feel like I owed her a favor — and I don’t like having an outstanding debt.”

Macaulay Culkin Mourned O’Hara With An Emotional Tribute

Although Culkin was unable to pay his debt to his on-screen mother, he honored her legacy and mourned her loss in a heart-wrenching tribute.

Following the news of O’Hara’s passing, the 45-year-old took to Instagram, sharing a throwback photo of them on “Home Alone” alongside one of them at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

Referring to the late actress as “Mama” in the caption, he wished for more time together. “I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say. I love you,” he wrote, per The Blast.

Culkin vowed to see O’Hara “later,” as Danzig’s “Mother“ was included as a background song on the upload. Thousands of fans camped in the comments, sending comfort to the heartbroken star.

The Actor Kept A Somber Appearance During Public Sighting

Culkin’s grief was evident when he made his first public appearance after his on-screen mother’s death. Just hours after the news broke, the actor was spotted out and about in Los Angeles, according to The Blast.

The father-of-two was seen alone, wearing a dark outfit comprising an orange sweater underneath a black blazer and black pants as he kept a low-key profile.

Barely interacting with anyone, Culkin wore a weighed-down expression as he ran errands.

Cause Of Catherine O’Hara’s Death Revealed

The news of O’Hara’s demise sent shock waves across Hollywood. The beloved actress passed away on January 30, 2026, after a brief illness. She was 71 years old.

A rep of O’Hara’s talent agency, CAA, shed light on the details of her passing, revealing that the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at the actress’s home, where she lives with her husband, Bo Welch, at 4:48 AM.

Weeks later, it was revealed that the “Schitt’s Creek” alum died from a blood clot in her lungs, known as pulmonary embolism. A report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office listed rectal cancer as the underlying cause.

It was revealed that the entertainer was rushed to the hospital in a severe condition after experiencing difficulty breathing, as detailed in a 911 call.

As reported by The Blast, O’Hara’s death certificate confirmed she was cremated, with her remains given to her beloved husband.

Inside Catherine O’Hara’s Intimate Memorial Service

The “Beetlejuice” star was laid to rest two weeks after her passing in an intimate ceremony attended by her family and close industry friends.

As reported by The Blast, actress Kelly Lynch gave fans a glimpse into the heartbreaking service, posting a black-and-white photo of the funeral program. On it was printed an adorable photo of a younger O’Hara wearing a cheerleader outfit, with a huge smile on her face.

Alongside the image was a poem curated by Raymond Carver titled “Late Fragment.” It was written when he was dying from cancer, a message that also applies to O’Hara.

“Rest in peace, darling Catherine,” Lynch wrote alongside the post.

The mockumentary format of filmmaking, specifically for sitcom television, is one of the most popular and quickly growing. It’s been around for quite some time, but gained extreme popularity through smash-hit shows like The Office and Parks and Recreation. The mockumentary style has become super beloved. For comedy specifically, the format helps people feel a bit more connected and believe in the content a bit more.

Mockumentary grounds whatever it’s showcasing in reality—even when what’s on-screen doesn’t happen in real life. The style attempts to showcase what’s being depicted as if it’s a documentary on real-life events. This helps bring audiences into new environments, and they are able to buy into them a lot easier than otherwise. The characters feel a lot more genuine, as well. All reasons why mockumentaries are so abundantly popular.

‘Cunk on Earth’ (2022)

Historical documentaries are the most famous and well-known documentaries out there. Cunk on Earth takes this concept and absolutely makes fun of it through the wonderful performance by Diane Morgan. Covering real-world historical events like the fall of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages in a comedic documentary.

What makes Cunk on Earth even funnier is the fact that when they’re performing these hysterical interviews, they’re interviewing actual experts on the topics they’re covering. This makes Cunk asking her absurdist questions even better, because who would ask these kinds of things to real experts on things like the Roman Empire? Cunk. Cunk would.

‘Nathan for You’ (2013–2017)

There’s no man who can do a deadpan performance quite like Nathan Fielder (mainly because there’s no beating Aubrey Plaza and Jenna Ortega). Unlike YouTube pranksters, Nathan for You puts Fielder in front of real people to pull off his performances, which makes his bits even funnier. He has some absurd schemes that are so comical that they actually sometimes work, which not only adds to hilarity but is genuinely impressive.

Nathan for You has some absolutely iconic episodes across its four-year run. But not only is it humorous, but some of his pranks and bits act as subtle social commentary on things like capitalism and gullibility in the general population. The series (and Nathan Fielder himself) expertly raises the stakes and makes things continuously more ridiculous as they move forward.

‘Abbott Elementary’ (2021–Present)

Abbott Elementary has completely taken over the television space in the last few years. Following the lives of teachers at the titular elementary school, Abbott Elementary depicts the hilarity and ridiculousness that occur when one becomes an elementary school teacher across its seasons.

While the events of the series are fictional, the conflicts and events within the series are very real. Being a teacher is not easy, and while this is an absolutely hilarious comedy, it’s also a love letter to teachers everywhere. They’re raising the next generation of children, and this leads to some of the best moments in the show as it comments on and makes fun of real things, like when they commented on kids picking up social trends in Abbott Elementary Season 1, episode 11, “Desking.”

7

‘Arrested Development’ (2003–2019)

Alongside the obvious contenders of The Office and Parks and Recreation, Arrested Development is one of the most popular mockumentaries out there. Arrested Development sets itself apart, however, by not following a lot of the typical tropes found in a mockumentary. Normally, a series in this style commonly cuts to interview segments within the episode, but Arrested Development opts not to do this.

While it’s not formatted like a typical mockumentary, it finds itself being one because the characters within it commonly acknowledge that they are being filmed, and they’re on a television show. Many consider this to be one of the best shows of the last few decades, and for very good reason. The writing is exceptional, and with performances from the likes of Jason Bateman and others, it’s excellent.

6

‘Modern Family’ (2009–2020)

Families are troublesome. Everyone can easily attest to this statement in some way, shape, or form. Together, Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan brought a series to life that depicts the ridiculous nature of all types of families—the nuclear family, mixed families, and families led by a gay relationship. Its first few seasons were critically praised all-around for the exceptional episodes it brought forth.

The writing for Modern Family is sharp, witty, and smart. A huge part of this is because co-creator Christopher Lloyd got his start by writing on the critically acclaimed Golden Girls. Over the course of its run, it won over 20 Emmys and was highly noted for its wonderful cast and their great performances.

5

‘Parks and Recreation’ (2009–2015)

Image via NBC

The common debate among the mockumentary fan base is whether The Office or Parks and Recreation is the best of the best. This is a very valid debate, as this 2009 series is simply one of the best of the 2000s. Much like its rival, it has one of the best casts on television with the likes of Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, and genuinely so many more that either got their big start here or had a career-defining role.

Following the escapades of the Parks and Recreation Department in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana. What’s fun about this show is that audiences know that what’s being depicted is at least a little accurate, as the creators of the series actually studied local politics and even interviewed local politicians and government workers to make sure what they were making had authenticity to it.

‘What We Do in the Shadows’ (2019–2024)

Image via FX

What We Do in the Shadows is a hilarious supernatural mockumentary that follows vampire roommates Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo Cravensworth (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), and their familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén). Tasked with conquering the New World—an assignment they’ve entirely forgotten—they go through modern life in Staten Island and deal with everything from awkward city council meetings to supernatural turf wars with werewolves, witches, and ghosts.

Over six riotous seasons, the FX show became a fan favorite thanks to the funny dynamic between its main characters. Satirizing both supernatural lore and the mundanity of being human, it expands on the world and original concept of the 2014 New Zealand film. What We Do in the Shadows is now a modern classic that concluded with a bittersweet finale that captures how it can strike both a humorous and heartfelt note.

3

‘Trailer Park Boys’ (2001–2018)

Image via Trailer Park Productions

Trailer Park Boys is easily considered one of the best mockumentary sitcoms of all time. The reasoning for this bold claim is largely because of the charm brought forth through its lower budget. Trailer Park Boys is a series that is known for being primarily improvised with its dialogue. This led to some of the funniest interactions on 2000s television.

It’s packed to the brim with recurring gags, surprisingly deep storytelling, and somehow stayed super unchanging in its quality over its entire run from 2001 to 2007. The fact that this show could have such a low budget and stand up against and even above most mockumentaries is astounding and proof of its caliber.

2

‘The Office’ (2005–2013)

Image via NBC

The Office is known as one of the best of the best because it genuinely revolutionized and redefined the entire mockumentary format. It threw its cast members onto a grand stage, stayed consistently superb, had amazing performances, spectacular screenwriting, and cast chemistry unlike any other.

What makes The Office even better is the fact that each character has a defined and true character arc amidst the absurdities at play. So, not only does it end up being an incredibly funny show, but people truly grew emotionally invested in The Office‘s likable characters. This not only kept them engaged through hilarity, but also because they wanted to see where these people would go with their lives.

1

‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ (2000–2024)

Curb Your Enthusiasm is both Larry David and the mockumentary format’s magnum opus. There hasn’t been a show quite like Curb Your Enthusiasm to this day. Larry David knows how to do good comedy, if that wasn’t proven by his work on Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm is the perfect example of his comedic prowess.

What makes Curb Your Enthusiasm different from other improv-heavy mockumentaries is the fact that it is an almost fully improvised show. Scenes are merely outlined, and the actors take them from there. Larry David takes this concept and absolutely runs with it. This has led to some of television’s funniest moments of all time.

For decades, “The Brady Bunch” has remained one of television’s most replayed family sitcoms, turning its cast into permanent pop culture icons long after the series ended. 

However, behind the nostalgia and endless reruns, one of the show’s stars is revealing a much sadder reality. 

Eve Plumb recently admitted that despite the sitcom’s lasting success across generations, the actors are no longer seeing meaningful money from it. 

Her revelation has sparked fresh conversation about how television contracts once worked, especially compared to the massive payouts stars from modern sitcoms still receive today.

Plumb is pulling back the curtain on what “The Brady Bunch” cast actually earned from one of television’s most replayed sitcoms.

The actress, who famously played middle daughter Jan Brady, recently addressed the subject while promoting her memoir, “Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyond.”

In the book, Plumb joked about the financial reality behind the show’s lasting popularity. “If I had a dime for every rerun episode, I’d pay off the national deficit. I don’t,” she wrote per the Daily Mail.

Plumb later doubled down on the statement during an appearance on the “PauseRewind” podcast. “To be clear, we don’t make residuals,” she explained.

The revelation shocked many longtime fans, considering “The Brady Bunch” has remained a television staple for decades through syndication and streaming reruns. 

The ABC sitcom originally aired from 1969 through 1974, but its cultural footprint never really disappeared.

‘Brady Bunch’ Cast Lost Their Rerun Payments Years Ago

Plumb is not the only “Brady Bunch” star who has spoken openly about the show’s lack of long-term financial rewards.

Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady, previously explained why the cast no longer receives rerun money.

Appearing on Oprah Network’s “Where Are They Now,” Olsen revealed that the issue stemmed from television rules that existed before 1973. 

According to the star, actors at the time were compensated only for a limited number of rerun broadcasts.

She explained the cast was only “paid for reruns for the first 10 runs.” After that, the payments completely stopped. “So [we’ve] made no money since then,” Olsen said.

The residual checks reportedly dried up entirely in 1979 despite the sitcom continuing to air across networks for decades afterward.

‘Brady Bunch’ Salaries Were Tiny Compared To Modern TV Stars

Barry Williams, who portrayed Greg Brady, also previously addressed the surprisingly modest paychecks the cast received during the sitcom’s original run.

In his 1992 memoir “Growing Up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg,” Williams explained how dramatically television salaries have changed since the 1970s.

“Salaries for sitcom actors have changed considerably since the ‘70s,” he wrote. The actor revealed that during the show’s last season, the highest-paid child actor on the series earned just barely over a thousand dollars per week.

“In our fifth and final year, the highest salary among us kids was $1,100 a week,” he shared. Although Williams acknowledged that earning roughly $24,000 during the final season was “not bad for a teenager,” he also noted the money disappeared quickly after taxes, commissions, and family expenses.

“It was enough to indulge in toys, but hardly enough to carry you through the slow periods that inevitably followed,” he explained. 

The original cast also included Maureen McCormick, Mike Lookinland, and Christopher Knight, all of whom became permanently linked to their iconic Brady characters.

‘Brady Bunch’ Money Drama Looks Worse Next To ‘Friends’ Success

The whopping financial difference between “The Brady Bunch” cast and modern sitcom stars became even more noticeable after Lisa Kudrow recently discussed “Friends” residuals.

Kudrow admitted that she and her co-stars still earn massive payouts from reruns of the beloved NBC comedy.

The actress, who played Phoebe Buffay from 1994 to 2004, starred alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and the late Matthew Perry.

Unlike the Brady cast, the “Friends” stars famously negotiated together throughout the show’s run. Their salaries eventually climbed from $22,500 per episode during the first season to a staggering $1 million each by the final two seasons.

Reports have also claimed the cast still earns around $20 million annually from the show’s continued popularity. The stars later reunited for HBO Max’s 2021 reunion special and reportedly received $2.5 million each for the appearance.

Susan Olsen Opens Up About The Downsides Of Playing Cindy Brady

In April 2025, Olsen opened up about the lasting impact of being typecast as Cindy Brady, admitting the role followed her long after “The Brady Bunch” ended. 

Speaking on “The Real Brady Bros” podcast with former co-stars Williams and Christopher Knight, Olsen reflected on constantly being cast as the “ditzy” or “stupid” child, saying, “That’s just how my career was, and it was something I had to accept.”  

Advertisement

As reported by The Blast, she recalled how frustrating it was to play a character so different from her real personality, with Williams telling her she was “so much smarter” and “edgier” than Cindy.   

Olsen also shared that even her son eventually noticed the pattern after watching one of her old Disney movies, joking, “So you always play the stupid child.”  

The actress admitted the role affected her deeply as a child, explaining she dreaded returning to public school because classmates treated her like Cindy in real life and teased her over the character’s “stupid” moments and lisp.

As long as the earth remains, human conflict will never fully disappear. It is a part of our existence and oftentimes, we choose war as a means of resolution. For those who are unaware, war is brutal, destructive, exhausting, and, more often than not, utterly meaningless. However, humans always seem to find themselves in one conflict or the other. While some wars are localized, others have global ramifications and none quite as cataclysmic as World War II. The conflict played out across various locations across land, air and sea, reshaping the global order in its aftermath. Several creatives have told stories about the defining conflict of the 20th century, with Wolfgang Petersen’s 1981 World War II picture Das Boot, one of them.

The Oscar- and Golden Globe-nominated masterpiece would go on to inspire a 2018 series of the same name, which continues to highlight the senseless reality of the entire conflict. With two storylines running parallel on land and sea, Das Boot sees its dialogue authentically switching between English, German, and French, even as the story follows the crew of a German U-boat embarking on its first voyage in 1942 and a young woman caught between the Gestapo and the French Resistance on land. The original Das Boot film from 1981 grossed $85 million, making it a global blockbuster and earning six Oscar nominations. The film stands apart in the crowded sea of submarine war movies and the series is just as impressive.

Now, the 2018 Das Boot series is making a streaming return, having been on Hulu previously. According to a new report, Kino Lorber’s MHz Choice will have all four seasons of the classic WWII U-boat series, including ones that have never previously streamed in the U.S. MHz Choice will welcome the first season of the drama series on July 7 with the second season following on August 4, with two episodes, then installments launching weekly. However, the release dates for Seasons 3 and 4 have not been made available yet.

Who is Behind the Scenes for ‘Das Boot’?

A big-budget European show, Das Boot assembled an impressive cast from Germany, France, the UK and the US to tell its tale, including Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread), Tom Wlaschiha (Game of Thrones), Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex), Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men), James D’Arcy (MARVEL’s Agent Carter), Thierry Frémont (Juste un regard), August Wittgenstein (The Crown), Rainer Bock (Inglourious Basterds), Rick Okon (Tatort), Leonard Scheicher (Finsterworld), Robert Stadlober (Summer Storm), Franz Dinda (The Cloud) and Stefan Konarske (The Young Karl Marx). Andreas Prochaska, whose credits include Das finstere Tal (The Dark Valley) and Das Wunder von Kärnten (A Day for a Miracle), directed the series with Tony Saint and Johannes W. Betz as the head writers.

Season 1 of Das Boot arrives on MHz Choice in the US on July 7. Stay tuned to Collider for updates.
