Hulu Reveals The Hardy Boys Season Two Trailer
Mystery is on the horizon, friends! Just this week, Hulu released the official trailer for season two of The Hardy Boys—premiering Wednesday, April 6, with all 10 episodes on the streaming service.
The series picks up six months after the events of season one, building on the mystery and drama of the inaugural season and welcoming new friends and suspects. When a Bridgeport classmate mysteriously disappears, Frank (Rohan Campbell) and Joe Hardy (Alexander Elliot) drop their new normal routine to get back to detective work. But when they discover the mystical relic they destroyed last year is still in play, it becomes clear their simple missing person case is actually part of something far more sinister. The Hardy boys and their friends must quickly learn who they can and can’t trust as they race against time to unravel the truth, and ultimately realize that no one is safe from their past.
The series also stars Keana Lyn as Callie Shaw, Adam Swain as Chet Morton, Cristian Perri as Phil Cohen, and Riley O’Donnell as Biff Hooper. Joining the cast this season are Canadian actors Krista Nazaire as Belinda Conrad and Sadie Munroe as Lucy Wayne. Mark your calendars!

Disneyland Paris Announces Multi-Year Transformation Plan for Disney Village
As a part of its incredible 30th anniversary celebration, our pals over at Disneyland Paris just announced transformation plans for Disney Village, the retail, dining, and entertainment complex between Disneyland Paris’ theme parks and Disney hotels.
The district, which also celebrates 30 years in 2022, has more than doubled in size since its opening, constantly adding new options to reinvent the guest experience. But by the end of the year, a phased transformation of the entire area will begin to give the district a brand-new visual identity and introduce exciting new offerings.
The reimagined Disney Village will celebrate timeless, family-friendly environments that are uniquely Disney. By day, stylish boutiques and innovative restaurants will draw guests in—and by night, thousands of lights will transform the area into a bustling wonderland. When the project is complete, Disney Village will feature a relaxing lakeside park and boardwalk; enhanced pedestrian walkways; brand-new facades; peaceful terraces and patios; and lush landscaping. Plus, its diverse eateries and collection of shops will expand options for guests, with innovative concepts from some of the world’s most exciting brands for a completely enhanced experience complementing the theme parks.
The first step in this big transformation? A contemporary French brasserie called Rosalie, which will take the place of the current Café Mickey restaurant and will open in 2023—elevating the culinary experience for visitors and offering a new option for those looking for distinctly French flavors within Disney Village.
Keep your eyes peeled on more fun from Disneyland Paris in the coming months…

Adorable Animal Alert! Three Rhino Siblings Meet at Kilimanjaro Safaris
Recently, Walt Disney World Resort animal care experts celebrated a monumental milestone with the debut of 4-month-old rhino Logan to Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park! The good folks at the Disney Parks Blog released an “aww”-inspiring video of Logan meeting her rhino siblings Ranger and Mylo on the savanna, seen above.
Ranger was the first white rhino born at Walt Disney World Resort in five years, back in October 2020—with Mylo joining the crash (that’s the name for a rhino herd!) in September ’21. Logan, born in November ’21 and named after her mom Lola and dad Dugan, is the youngest of the three southern white rhinos born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park.
These successful rhino births mark a major achievement for the Animal, Science and Environment team at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and the rhino population in managed care. All three rhinos allow scientists, doctors, and conservationists to learn more about this amazing species—and these learnings can be shared to benefit rhinos all over the globe.
