In late October, Netflix offered fans a brief glimpse at the highly anticipated Gilmore Girls reboot by releasing the first Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life squeal-inducing two minute trailer.

And now, just days before Rory, Lorelai and co return to small screens across the globe, the revered entertainment specialist has sent hearts racing with a SECOND GG preview.

The clip shows Rory struggling to deal with life as an unemployed college graduate, Lorelai questioning her relationship with Luke and Emily coming to terms with the loss of her husband.

But it’s not all doom and gloom, as in true Gilmore Girls fashion, the video is laced with girly humour, unorthodox advice and musings like Lorelai’s “I believe in a former life I was coffee”.  Classic.

Check it out below:

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life premieres on Netflix November 25.

A federal judge in Wisconsin has ordered the release of Brendan Dassey, who was handed a life sentence in 2007 for his involvement in the murder of Teresa Halback.

After almost a decade of imprisonment for the killing documented in Netflix’s Making a Murderer, Steven Avery’s nephew could be released within 90 days.

According to TMZ, Dassey’s impending release will be subject to a number of conditions.

He must remain in the eastern part of Wisconsin, cannot obtain a passport and cannot possess weapons or controlled substances.

The 27-year-old is also forbidden from contacting Steven Avery and the family of Teresa Halback.

In August, Dassey’s conviction was overturned after a judge found his constitutional rights had been violated when he was interrogated without an adult at the age of 16.

If an email marked 'Netflix cancellation' lands in your email inbox, take a deep breath and ignore it, ladies.

While the thoughts of someone putting an end to our nightly TV binges sends a chill through most of us, the company have assured customers that the email which is currently doing the rounds did not originate with them.

According to the Independent, the email informs customers that their account has been cancelled and requests they click on a link and input credit card details in order to reactivate it.

It has been established that the link directs customers to a phishing website, so your enthusiasm to 'reactive' your 'dead' account could cost you your savings.

"Phishing scams are, unfortunately, very common and often exploit well known brands. Internet users should always be cautious when they receive an email request any personal information or credit card details.” said Nicola Watkins, a spokesperson for Netflix.

Customers have been asked to contact Netflix at phishing@netflix.com if they receive an email which raises concern.

Having been one of the most talked about web series of the year, there’s bound to be more than a few Stranger Things costumes this Halloween.

Already actress Amy Schumer has set high expectations for such attire as she and boyfriend Ben Hanisch have teamed up to channel two of the show’s most beloved characters.

Last night, the 35-year-old New Yorker took to Instagram to share a series of images in which she is dressed as Stranger Things’ Dustin while her boo pulls off his best Eleven.

Equipped with backpacks, bikes and epic captions, it’s safe to say Amy and Ben are #HalloweenGoals.

It's ONE month until the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life hits our Netflix screens and it's safe to say we are soooo excited.

And now, the trailer is finally here – and don't worry it's not a silly 30-second clip giving us nothing, it's a full 2.26 minutes and it gave us chills.

From the boys all being back, to saying goodbye to Richard, we'd say this series is going to make us both laugh and cry.

The trailer shows Rory, Lorelai and Emily all at a crossroads in their lives and we're guessing the show will be all about how they overcome them.

Also we see Dean, Jess, Sookie, Logan, Babette, Miss Patti and Kirk!

We're so damn excited for this.

There came a time in most of our childhoods when we decided we were far too schlick to dress in a bin liner and roam our estate for hours on end.

But without a fake ID to hand, it wasn't like we were going to join the more mature revellers down the local, so much of our teenage Halloweens were spent scaring the bejaysus out of ourselves with classic teen slasher movies.

Let's face it, if ever there was a time of the year when we were likely to get our hands on an 18-rating, it was All Hallow's Eve.

And frankly, the idea of recreating a night hiding behind the couch is really appealing to us right now, so we scoured Netflix for some classics and were not disappointed.
 

1. Friday the 13th: Part 4: The Final Chapter

Making his way back to his old stomping ground, good ol' Jason Voorhies – AKA the man who refuses to die – decides to unleash hell on Camp Crystal.

Nothing stops this lad.

2. Jeepers Creepers

Why did they stop the car? Why?!

3. Carrie

4. Battle Royale

And we're already reaching for the cushion…

5. The Exorcism of Emily Rose

After hearing a priest had performed an exorcism on a young girl, a lawyer takes on the case.

Oh, and did we mention it's based on a true story?

6. The Conjuring

7. The Exorcist

Yup – we were all hooked; on Amanda Knox herself, on Raffaele Sollecito – on the fascinating Nick Pisa. And then there was the tragedy of Meredith Kercher, and the heartbroken family her killing left behind.

Could it be? Are Netflix introducing an offline-mode at long last?

Apparently, the binge-worthy website have been working on making our dream a reality!

A company called Taitz is reportedly working with Netflix, in order to make downloadable content (movies and shows) a possibility.

No Internet? No PROBLEM!

Rumour has it that the aim is to have the offline mode ready for action as early as the end of 2017!

Can I get a HALLELUJAH? 

Netflix currently has over 81 million users and has launched in 130 new countries around the world since January 2016.

That is a lot of people hoping for this new feature! 

We have our fingers crossed, as it would make watching 27 episodes of The Gilmore Girls in a row WAY EASIER.

From Kylie Jenner to Chloe Ferry, at the rate we’re going there won’t be a brunette left by the end of 2016.

And just as Michelle Keegan makes the seriously savvy decision to return to her roots, another notable brunette has traded in her luscious locks in favour of a lighter look.

Ever since she first achieved major fame through Robin Thicke’s controversial Blurred Lines video, Emily Ratajkowski has maintained her glossy brunette mane, but now it looks like the star’s putting the “blondes have more fun” theory to the test, as she’s been pictured with a shoulder-length, platinum-coloured bob.

While the 25-year-old model definitely looks better brunette, we have to admit that she’s well able to work a lighter shade.

And the best news?  Emily’s ‘do is for her role in the new Netflix series Easy so hopefully she’ll be back to her dark self in no time.

Being human and all, around SHEmazing! Towers way we’re occasionally (read: often) fond of a bit of Jamie Dornan.

From The Fall to Fifty Shades – not to mention those Calvin Klein ads – the Co Down-man gives us all plenty to work with (bless him).

So when we heard that a Netflix feature-length flick, The Siege Of Jadotville, was being released with a certain Mr Dornan in the lead role, well we were all sorts of excited.

And suffice to say that excitement then turned to all-out exhilaration when SHEmazing! received a coveted invite to the red-carpet premiere, which took place last night on Dublin’s O’Connell St.

In attendance were the handsome likes of Jason O’Mara, Ronan Raftery, Charlie Kelly, and Conor MacNeill – but there’s no denying that Mr Christian Gray himself Jamie was the star of the evening.

Not only did we see him in the flesh up all close ‘n’ personal, but the 34-year-old even came over to SHEmazing! for something of an exclusive chat on the red-carpet. 

"I think you have to have a bit of apprehension going into every job – call it nerves, or anxiety or excitement or whatever that is," Jamie told us when asked about taking on the mighty role of Pat Quinlan, the Irish commandant who led a stand-off against French and Belgian Mercenaries in the Congo during in the early 1960s.

"But I was desperate to play him and I wanted to make sure I honoured him and his family and the people that knew him because what he achieved was massive and monumentally heroic. The fact that he got those boys out there alive I still find incredible."

The cast of The Siege Of Jadotville spent ten weeks in South Africa filming – the first two weeks of which were a hard-core boot-camp to get the guys in shape and thinking like soldiers.

"It was a very close-knit group," Mr Dornan said of dozen or-so lead actors on location. "Though I’m not sure the guys looked up to me like the soldiers looked up to Pat Quinlan. In fact, they definitely didn’t!" he laughed when we asked him if he embodies some of the same leadership qualities as Cmdt Quinlan. 

"But they’re a great bunch of boys. And historically they were boys. Our lads playing them were mostly in their mid-20s, but the average age of the A-Company was 19, so they were really kids.

"Quinlan was 42 at the time so I’m playing him a little young, but he would have felt this massive sense of responsibility and the fact that he got them all out alive is just phenomenal."

Also in attendance were several veteran members of the Irish UN troops who fought during the 1961 siege – something which Jamie evidently found a great honour. 

Admitting that he was hoping to head out in Dublin with them once the premiere had wrapped up, he added: "I’m looking forward to getting this over and having a pint!"

*If you haven't seen the end of season one – spoiler alert*

Whether you've just started the second season or have binge-watched it already, Narcos has been one of the greatest TV shows to come out of Netflix.

The show follows Pablo Escobar, the Colombian druglord, and his rise and demise in the drug trafficking world.

Going into the second season, we see Escobar escape from jail which lands him and indeed, everyone around him, in hot water.

We're totally hooked here in Shemazing HQ!, so we were delighted to find out that it has just been renewed for a third and fourth season.

Hurrah! We won't have to say goodbye just yet.
