If you’re looking for a show that’s guaranteed to give you a good laugh, then you’ll have to give “Seoul Busters” a watch. The show, which’s set to premiere on Disney+, is about the Songwon Homicide Division, which has earned a reputation for being the worst-performing team in the Korean police force. Made up of a quirky group of officers who seem more like misfits than detectives, they’ve never quite lived up to their roles. But things take a hopeful turn when a new captain joins the team. With a history of excellence and an optimistic outlook, this young leader is determined to turn the division around. However, he quickly discovers that whipping this ragtag team into shape will be no easy task.

Now that you’re done with the first part of the fourth season of Emily in Paris (we hope), fans can look forward to the rest of the season that’s slated to be released on 12 September. In the trailer, it seem like Emily will not only be taking over Paris, but she will also be making a few stops in places, like Rome. Creator Darren Star says, “Emily finds herself with a busy travel schedule.” He also mentioned, “From the French Alps to the piazzas of Rome, viewers will vicariously experience amazing new locations through Emily’s eyes. Expect new characters, a lot more drama, romance, and a whole new language to try and master.” Lily Collins added, “While Emily’s heart will always remain true to Paris, her life takes some unexpected twists this season. Don’t be surprised to find her on a Roman holiday.”
