'The Ultimatum: Queer Love' Season 2 is here: How to watch, trailer, cast
Love me, or love me not?
In Netflix's "The Ultimatum: Queer Love" Season 2, getting married is not that simple. One partner gives the other an ultimatum that could change the course of their relationship forever.
Throughout the show, six couples participate in a dating experiment that will help them decide if they want to tie the knot. This year's participants have been together as long as ten years and as little as 1.5 years.
"Over eight weeks, the couples temporarily split up, enter into a trial marriage with someone else, and then reunite to make a life-changing decision," Netflix says.
"With a new perspective (and the experience of living with a new spouse), the participants unpack the baggage that's holding them back and attempt to discover if the person they started the journey with is actually right for them."
Here's how to watch the drama unfold on "The Ultimatum: Queer Love" Season 2.

'The Chosen': Jonathan Roumie, Luke Dimyan on Judas' betrayal, recreating infamous kiss
'The Chosen: Last Supper,' the fifth installment of the series about Jesus, includes many of the significant moments for Christians at Jesus' final meal with the apostles, such as the washing of their feet and introduction of the Eucharist. But arguably the most gripping scene of the eight-episode season depicting Holy Week (now streaming on Amazon Prime Video) is the last, when Judas plants a kiss on Jesus' cheek in the Garden of Gethsemane, identifying him to the authorities and putting the Crucifixion in motion. Season 6, expected to premiere in the second half of of 2026, according to series creator Dallas Jenkins, will focus on Jesus' death, and the seventh and final season will depict the Resurrection. Earlier in the finale, Jesus (Jonathan Roumie) prays in the garden, telling God of his affliction over what's to come. 'The sorrow,' Jesus says, weeping. 'Make me stronger than I am, Father.' 'It's a moment of desperation in this story,' Roumie tells USA TODAY. 'And there are some of the most human feelings that he could have experienced in terms of doubt and fear and sorrow and pain and sadness and anguish, ultimately followed by trust and faith and hope and courage and strength.' In the episode's final moments, Jesus sees an army marching toward him with torches. The apostles are alarmed, but Jesus understands his destiny is coming. When Judas (Luke Dimyan) emerges from the group and begins walking toward Jesus, his followers – understanding that Judas is the betrayer among them – are stunned. With tears welling in his eyes, Judas greets Jesus with a simple, 'Rabbi.' 'My friend,' Jesus says. 'Do what you came to do.' Judas kisses Jesus, and the screen fades to black. 'It's a pretty devastating moment in the friendship of all of these men, to see Judas round the corner from behind these Pharisees and temple guards and realize that he's the one who kind of sealed Jesus' fate in that moment," Roumie says. "But it had to be done." Roumie understood Jesus knew what was coming, "but I don't think it wounds him any less,' the actor says. In his portrayal, "there was just deep, deep sadness for Judas and for his ignorance and for his lack of judgment but also for the necessity of Judas to play that part.' Judas, depicted in 'The Chosen' as an orphan, 'goes into a panic, survival mode,' Dimyan believes. It's 'a survival instinct to do whatever it takes to just make it out of this." 'I know a lot of people associate him with the betrayal, but to me, I think the core of the character is inevitable suicide. That's the moment I'm leading to. That's what I want to make sense of. There is an internal depression and a self-hatred that I don't think anyone notices but I think that he tries to overcompensate for. He tries to be helpful. He tries to have a purpose, not only just within the group, but within his life.' With Jesus, Dimyan says, his character feels 'that safety and that reason, (and) I think he finds the chance to have a purpose, worth, meaning. … He's so scared that he'll do whatever it takes to make Jesus save him, even if it means forcing his hand in a situation. And if he doesn't save him, then he was never the Messiah.' For the infamous kiss, Dimyan says, he received very specific and detailed instructions from the crew about where to place his mouth. 'So I just have my lips planted at Jonathan's cheek for a solid five minutes, just there on my tippy toes,' Dimyan says. 'And I'm just next to his face, trying not to breathe too hard. 'It was such a dramatic scene, and as you see in the final take of it, it's very serious. But behind the scenes, I couldn't help but crack up at the awkward setup, because sadly I'm a bit of a shorty (at 5-foot-7) and Jonathan is quite tall (6 feet). I was able to kiss him pretty normally, but they were like: 'Nope. We want it higher on the cheek.' And I'm like: 'Why do we want it higher on the cheek? Is that just to make me feel bad?' But they got me boxes, and that still wasn't enough, and I just had to shift and move like an Etch A Sketch with my lips all over his cheek.'

Squid Game season three ending explained: who wins, who dies and who loses
The third and final season of Squid Game has hit our screens and we are seriously gagged at the drama, the twists, and, ofc, the deaths. The Hunger Games-meets-Battle Royale Netflix show has given us so many jaw-dropping moments we're sad to say goodbye but, if the finale of the last episode is anything to go by, we may have more twisted games to sustain us at some point in future... Anyway, before we look to the future, it's time to unpack the past: here is what went down in the finale of Squid Game season 3. Keep reading for your cheat sheet on who won, who lost and how the saga resolved itself... The winner of Squid Game season 3 is...a baby? Specifically, the baby is the child of Player 222: Kim Jun-hee, a player who is conned by her ex, Player 333, Lee Myung-gi, into buying into a cryptocurrency scam. It's revealed that she's pregnant with Myung-gi, baby and knew this going into the games, which she did in the hopes of winning a better life for herself and her baby. After Jun-hee gives birth in episode 2, the baby enters into gameplay as it is revealed it must live or die according to the rules of the game. In a game of Jump Rope, with the baby successfully saved by Gi-hun for that round, Jun-hee jumps off the ledge, knowing that time is running out and deciding to accept her fate. With Jun-hee out of the game, it's announced that her baby is taking her place as Player 222. When the final game is announced, Sky Squid Game, the other players are enraged and try to kill the baby first but she is protected by Gi-hun. The number of players dwindle as Myung-gi joins Gi-hun in protecting the baby. But, when just Myung-gi, Gi-hun and the baby are left, Myung-gi (who, let us remind you, is the baby's father) attempts to kill the baby so that he can win the game. Gi-hun attacks Myung-gi, who falls to his death. Due to the complicated rules of the game, which require you to press the button to officially start the button, Myung-gi's death doesn't count: amidst all the drama, no-one pressed the button. Gi-hun then presses the button to start a new round and sacrifices himself so that the baby can live. Hwang In-ho, the Front Man, then takes the baby. After a six month time jump, Hwang Jun-ho (the police officer who infiltrated the game to avenge his brother who he thinks has who actually is the Front Man) comes home to his flat to find the baby and a credit card loaded with all the money from the game. The choice to have a baby win the game was, of course, unexpected. But the show's creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, explains that is was a necessary creative decision. "Ultimately, the baby represents the future generation,' he tells Tudum. 'I believe we also have the responsibility and duty to try everything that we can in our power to leave a better world for the future generation,' he continues. 'The baby coming out [as] the winner was in line with the meaning of Squid Game.' As you may well remember, Gi-hun was the winner of Squid Game season 1, meaning that he is sitting on a pretty major fortune. But what happened to it? In season 2, it was sitting on a bed in the Pink Motel, but then disappears. Season 3 gives us an answer as to where it ends up. Front Man takes the cash, deposits it into a bank account and then flies to Los Angeles to meet with Gi-hun's daughter: giving her the money and informing her of her father's death. When in Los Angeles, Front Man is driving downtown and hears the slap of ddakji tiles on the ground. When he looks up, he sees a well-dressed stranger playing the game with a distressed man, suggesting that there is now an LA recruiter enlisting American players to a form of the game. The best bit? The recruiter is played by none other than Cate Blanchett. 'We thought having a woman as a recruiter would be more dramatic and intriguing,' says Hwang in an article for Tudum. 'And as for why Cate Blanchett, she's just the best, with unmatched charisma. Who doesn't love her? So we were very happy to have her appear. We needed someone who could dominate the screen with just one or two words, which is exactly what she did.' Wowza, we didn't see that one coming!
