Paired with a new partner, Nancy McKenna (Jessica Alba), a working mom with an equally complex history, Syd is forced to confront how her unapologetic lifestyle may be masking a greater personal secret.

The second season of The Rain will air on May 17 on Netflix while the new streaming series Catch-22 will debut on Hulu on May 17. Based on Joseph Heller’s seminal novel of the same name, the story of the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty.
On May 18, the Hallmark Channel movie Sailing Into Love will debut at 9 PM. Biology teacher Claire (Leah Renee from Hallmark Channel’s Love by the Book) is a bridesmaid and conducts a class on Blue Island.

Mark your calendars!
