Helena Bonham Carter will also take on the role of Princess Margaret.

The first two seasons centered on the late 1940s to early 1960s, with the young Queen taking over the reins from her father. Meanwhile, the third and fourth seasons will feature a different era with the new cast depicting the royal family from 1960 to the early 1980s. The series creator, Peter Morgan, confirmed highlights of the new season, including the marriage of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon, the relationship between Prince Charles, Princess Diana, and Camilla, and the Queen’s interactions with Harold Wilson, the prime minister.

A political science graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles, Adam Searl serves as a sales account representative at Uline, where he was promoted to a level 2 position within a year of joining the company. An Athletics Director Honor Roll football player while at UCLA, Adam Searl went on to try out for a team in the Canadian Football League.

During a sold-out match held at Martin Stadium on September 21, the UCLA Bruins stunned the crowd after scoring 50 points in the last 19 minutes of the game, earning a 67-63 win against the Washington State Cougars.

The UCLA Bruins had no prior victories going into the game and were behind 32 points before the third quarter ended. However, the Bruins managed to peel off 29 points in under five minutes, leaving a three-point margin to tie the Cougars with 14 minutes still left in the game. The Cougars held the 63-60 lead with just three minutes remaining, but suffered a false-start penalty and then lost a fumble. UCLA linebacker Josh Woods took the ball and passed it to Thomson-Robinson, who then linked up with Felton on a third-down pass for a touchdown, securing the remarkable win for the Bruins.

Streaming Services are Changing TV-Show Storytelling Approaches

Sales account representative Adam Searl enjoys a variety of active and relaxing hobbies during his personal time. Alongside snowboarding and playing team sports, Adam Searl also spends time binge-watching series from Netflix and HBO.

Streaming services have popularized binge-watching by releasing whole seasons of new content at once, which enables people to watch a show over multiple days, rather than several months. This compressed and on-demand viewing time has impacted how content creators approach storytelling.

In traditional media, the viewer experience was also often interrupted by commercial breaks. To minimize the temptation to channel surf during these periods, writers had to incorporate multiple cliffhangers in each episode, which could result in sometimes preposterous events or situations. However, services like Netflix and HBO eliminate many of these obstacles, which has freed writers and directors to allow plots to unfold more naturally.

Viewers remain engaged throughout the entire episode, which heightens the sense of immersion and the desire to keep watching. Likewise, since audiences are more likely to watch episodes back to back, series creators can more effectively incorporate complex narratives and timelines that require the viewer to retain more information about the fictional universe.

A former honor roll student at the University of California, Los Angeles, Adam Searl earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the school in 2017 and soon after began working as a sales account representative at Uline. When he isn't working, Adam Searl enjoys watching shows on HBO. 

In addition to being a premier cable network, HBO operates a pair of streaming platforms, HBO Now and HBO Go, but consumers will have a third choice in 2020 with the launch of HBO Max. The service will be similar to HBO Now as it won't require a cable subscription. Users will pay a monthly fee for access to on-demand streaming of current HBO programming in addition to content from Cartoon Network, CNN, TBS, and other WarnerMedia properties. Similar to Netflix, HBO Max will also produce its own content. 

By adding content from WarnerMedia properties, users will have access to popular shows like Conan, Rick & Morty, Pretty Little Liars, and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Moreover, HBO Max will have every episode of Friends after Warner Media paid $425 million for its streaming rights. The show will still be available on Netflix until the end of 2019. The price for the service has yet to be announced, but a recent Wall Street Journal report suggested it will cost upwards of $17 per month.
