Hulu is out with its list of everything that’s coming and going from the streaming service in April, which should come in handy assuming we’re all still in isolation next month due to coronavirus.
The third and final season of “Future Man,” which stars Josh Hutcherson, Eliza Coupe, and Derek Wilson, will be available on April 3.
That same day, a new episode of Hulu’s monthly episodic anthology “Into the Dark” drops. April’s installment is called “Pooka Lives,” and follows a group of thirty-something friends who create their own Creepypasta about Pooka, but don’t like what they find once the thing goes viral.

Robin Roberts. Gretchen Carlson. Alex Cooper. Wendy Williams. Jo Frost. Ashley Graham. As Lifetime hits its 35th anniversary as a network, it does so with a plethora of pivotal partnerships to further the brand’s promise to keep women’s perspectives the drivers of their narrative stories.
“Our women are survivors, not victims,” says Tanya Lopez, executive vice president, movies, limited series and original acquisitions, Lifetime and Lifetime Movies. “It’s something we’ve seen that we as a network — only on Lifetime — will do. And that’s the big theme that we have now used as a filter for everything that we are doing: Only on Lifetime will you hear this way of telling a story.”
Although Lifetime’s goal was always to put women’s stories at the forefront, Lopez feels the brand began evolving to its current theme in 2016 when it released “Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le,...

Airing this Saturday, September 28 on Lifetime at 8/7c will be the true story of a teenage girl who fought her way out of gay conversion therapy.
Based on her bestseller, the Trapped: The Alex Cooper Story follows 15-year-old Alex (Addison Holley) who, after revealing that she's gay, is forcibly removed from her home by her parents who send her to Utah under the guise of living with her grandmother.
Instead, Alex was emotionally and physically tortured for eight months at the hands of a couple in the Mormon community who promised to cure her homosexuality.
We had a chance to talk with Michelle Paradise, a ferocious advocate for Lgbtq+ rights and a former Mormon, about writing the film adaptation.
Can you tell me what made you want to get involved with the Alex Cooper story?
Yeah, well Jeff Hunt who directed the film had approached me after he read her book.
