If you – like millions others – found yourself enthralled by Stranger Things over the course of the summer, then you'll be pleased to hear the good folk at Netflix have officially announced they will be renewing the break-out hit.

While there have been whispers in the works ever since we laid eyes on Mike, Eleven and the rest of the cast, those in the know have kept us in suspense until today.

According to Variety, season 2 of the 80s sci-fi smash-hit show will consist of 9 episodes – one more than season 1 – and debut in 2017.

Speaking prior to the announcement, creators Matt and Ross Duffer drew attention to the fact that the show's arc allows for break-off storylines, saying: "There’s a bigger mythology, and there’s a lot of dangling threads at the end."

"We could explore it if Netflix wanted to continue," he added.

And thankfully, they do.

Since his megahit debut solo single – Pillowtalk – was released in February, fans just can't get enough of Zayn Malik. 

So it was with great surprise that we noticed that the English singer-songwriter's vocals can recently be heard on another KILLER track – because not enough people are talking about just how good it is. 

Hidden away on the soundtrack to Netflix original series The Get Down, Zayn's oh-so amazing voice can be heard on You Can't Hide / You Can't Hide From Yourself.

The song, which quietly emerged on Thursday, is a remix of the classic track by Teddy Pendergrass and this newly-updated version involves Mr Malik teaming up with Grandmaster Flash.

Suffice to say, we are ALL OVER the resulting tune.

The Get Down is the hotly anticipated new Baz Luhrmann drama about the birth of hip-hop in 1970s New York – and it's available to view on Netflix now. 

Meanwhile, check out the Zayn song on iTunes here.

Today, Steven Avery remains behind bars at the maximum security Waupun Correctional Institution in Wisconsin.

He is currently serving a life-sentence for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach, who was killed in October 2007.

However, now his nephew Brendan Dassey has had his conviction for his role in Ms Halbach's death overturned – and inevitably people are asking what this means for Steven himself. 

Kathleen Zellner began representing the Netflix star in January when a fresh appeal was filed at the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and she is working on his appeal case.

Avery's legal team said in a statement following the news that a judge had overturned Mr Dassey's conviction:“We are thrilled for Brendan Dassey that his conviction has been overturned.

"We fully expected this outcome from an unbiased court that carefully examined his confession.”

Ms Zellner continued: "I was just visiting Steven Avery and he is so happy for Brendan. We know when an unbiased court reviews all of the new evidence we have, Steven will have his conviction overturned as well.”

In June, Avery's appeal case was delayed by 90 days after Ms Zellner requested an extension. That extension runs to the end of this month. 

Steven was previously jailed for 18 years for the 1985 rape of Penny Beernsten but was exonerated after DNA evidence proved it was not him.

It was later revealed the real rapist was Gregory Allen and that there was evidence the Manitowoc County Sheriff department were aware he could be the perpetrator during the initial investigation.

Two years after being released from prison in 2003 he was arrested for the murder of Ms Halbach, whose remains were found in a burn-pit outside his home.

The makers of Making A Murderer reacted to Brendan's planned release with a statement: "Today was a major development for the subjects in our story and this recent news shows the criminal justice system at work.

"As we have done for the past ten years, we will continue to document the story as it unfolds, and follow it wherever it may lead."

His controversial conviction sparked countess debate when Making A Murderer was released late last year.

But now – in breaking news from the US – it has been confirmed that Brendan Dassey will be released from jail within a matter of weeks.

A federal judge sitting in a Milwaukee court has just now overturned Mr Dassey's conviction.

According to court documents, Brendan should be "released from custody unless, within 90 days of the date of this decision, the State initiates proceedings to retry him."

Netflix's Making A Murderer documented Brendan and his uncle Steven Avery's trials following the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach in October 2005.

Brendan's trial lasted nine days and on April 25, 2007—after the jury had been deliberating for four hours—he was found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, second-degree sexual assault and mutilation of a corpse.

At the time Brendan was still just 17, but was both tried and sentenced as an adult.

He is currently imprisoned at Columbia Correctional Institution.

In just over a month, the season 4 premiere of Orange Is The New Black will make its way to our Netflix screens – and we're totally ready for it.

The TV screening website just released a new teaser trailer for the series and it looks like there's going to be a LOT packed into the show.

We see the women make the most out of their sticky situations, with different jobs and roles now being handed out on the prison ground.

Piper is more paranoid than ever and maybe her fears might come true as a LOAD of new inmates are squeezed into the prison (hence, the sardines comment).

The new season will premiere on Netflix on June 17, and we think it's going to be the darkest one yet. Yes!
