Around the Tubes: February 15, 2025


I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post includes blurbs on The Handmaid's Tale, Benefits with  Friends (AKA Amor da Minha Vida), Between Walls (AKA Entre Paredes), Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke, The Weeknd, Get Millie Black, C.B. Strike, and Knots Landing.


- The revolution is here. The sixth and final season of The Handmaid's Tale premieres April 8 on Hulu.




- Benefits with  Friends (AKA Amor da Minha Vida) - (Subbed & Dubbed), Premiere Date: February 12, 2025Bia (Bruna Marquezine) and Victor (Sergio Malheiros) are best friends and confidants. While he’s living in a long-lasting relationship that’s become tedious, she collects boyfriends and fleeting affairs, from the most various kinds, never truly believing in love. But no matter what they’re going through, their friendship survives year after year. Until Bia meets Marcelo and, for the first time in her life, believes to have found the right one, who makes her reevaluate things she’d taken for granted and ends up inviting her to live abroad. It is precisely when she must choose between staying or leaving that Bia realizes the true love of her life has always been there, right next to her. Bia and Victor finally get involved romantically, but one never experiences true love without facing real-life dilemmas.


- Between Walls (AKA Entre Paredes) - (Subbed & Dubbed).  Premiere Date: February 12, 2025.  Marga (Aislinn Derbez) and Martín (Christian Vázquez) meet on a dating app, unaware they are neighbors. When they find out, they decide not to pursue the romance, following the unsaid rule: "one should never date one's neighbor." The affair is over before it even begins as they decide to be just friends. But there's no smoke without fire! Over time, they will find it hard to hide their feelings behind the wall that keeps them apart.


- Hulu has debuted the official trailer for docuseries, “Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke,” premiering Thursday, February 27, with all three episodes.  When ‘momfluencer’ Ruby Franke is arrested for child abuse, no one can understand how her seemingly happy family became trapped in a nightmare. Her husband and eldest children share the inside story of the scandal that tore apart their family.
