I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post includes blurbs on Threshold, Rivals, Sunny Nights, Paul McCartney, Ziggy Marley, Fred Armisen, Dropkick Murphys, The Warning, and Bryant Barnes.
- THRESHOLD is the story of Olympic gold medalist and most decorated American cross-country skier ever, Jessie Diggins, and the struggle behind her smile– a painful fight with an eating disorder at the peak of her career. This feature documentary is much more than a sports story; it's a visceral, human account of vulnerability, stigma, and recovery, unfolding in real time. Through unprecedented access to Jessie and those closest to her, the film offers an intimate look into the complexity of a disorder that often hides in plain sight yet remains tragically underrepresented in film and misunderstood in care. THRESHOLD will premiere on Peacock on Monday, February 23rd timed to The Winter Olympic Games.
Hulu has released the official teaser trailer for the highly anticipated second season of the Emmy and BAFTA award-winning “Rivals." The UK Original returns in two six-episode batches— the first on May 15 with a three-episode premiere and the second later in the year—on Hulu, and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers, in the US and Disney+ internationally.
- Break out the SPF— “Sunny Nights” are coming to Hulu. After a critical acclaimed Australian debut, the darkly comedic crime drama starring Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden makes its U.S. debut on March 11 on Hulu. “Sunny Nights” features Will Forte as strait-laced American Martin Marvin, who teams up with his loose cannon sister, Vicki, played by D’Arcy Carden, to set up a spray tan business in Sydney. But as Martin and Vicki attempt to turn their company from a start-up operating out of the back of a van into a multi-million-dollar empire, the siblings become tangled up in Sydney’s criminal underworld, and when a ruthless gangster begins to catch up with them, the two must figure out how to stay alive, out of prison, and in the black.
- What happens when you wake up the morning after leaving the most important rock band of all time? Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, the intimate new feature documentary by Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy Award-winning director Morgan Neville, explores Paul McCartney’s creative rebirth after The Beatles’ breakup. The film is released in cinemas for one night only by Trafalgar Releasing on Thursday, February 19th, 2026. Tickets are on sale today at manontherun.film. The theatrical trailer is now available to watch here.
- Nine-time GRAMMY Award-winning icon Ziggy Marley has released a brand new track, “Many Mourn For Bob,” a powerful tribute to the legacy of his father, the legendary Bob Marley. “Many Mourn For Bob” marks the first time in his career that Ziggy has written and recorded an original song specifically dedicated to his father. The powerful track, rich in sentiment and deeply personal, evolved during his experience producing the 2024 fan-favorite biographical film “Bob Marley: One Love.” Through that time of reflection, Marley gained a newfound perspective on their personal enduring connection and the lasting global impact of his father.
- CNN and Universal Music Group (UMG) announced today that Peabody Award-winning comedian, actor, writer and musician Fred Armisen will lead a new CNN Original Series. The untitled music docuseries will give fans an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into Universal Music Group's vaults, which form the world’s largest music archives. Produced by UMG’s film and television division Polygram Entertainment, TIME Studios and Known Originals, the CNN Original Series will premiere later this year as part of CNN Originals’ anticipated 2026 programming slate. With Armisen as their dynamic and knowledgeable host, viewers will explore pivotal moments in pop culture, and the stories of the iconic artists and songwriters who changed the course of history. UMG’s archives include a massive, highly secure vault within the Iron Mountain facility in Boyers, Pennsylvania, located 220 feet underground in a former limestone mine. The series will unearth priceless artifacts, encompassing original recordings, master tapes, rare photos and performances, alternative album art and music videos, many of which have not been seen or heard publicly before.
- Dropkick Murphys have just released their new song “Citizen I.C.E.” (featuring Haywire) via all digital platforms, prior to the digital and physical release of their 12” vinyl split LP with Haywire titled New England Forever. “Citizen I.C.E.” is a reimagined version of Dropkick Murphys’ 2005 song “Citizen C.I.A.,” recorded in late 2025. DKM recently previewed the song on social media, with a video drawing attention to the tragic killings in Minneapolis.
