Belissa Escobedo attracted global attention after landing the role of Milagro Reyes in Blue Beetle. The American actress wears many hats as far as her creativity is concerned. She’s not just an actress but a writer, poet, and theater artist. For the most part, the role that gave her a platform was as Natalie Garcia in The Baker and the Beauty. Needless to say, it opened doors to a handful of other roles that have made her one to keep an eye on. Though it was not the central role, getting cast in Blue Beetle further propelled her into the spotlight.

The streaming service removes numerous titles each month, but without fanfare; unless you happen to select the thing that’s about to leave, you will have no idea there’s a limited amount of time left to watch.
Fortunately, we’ve compiled a list of every movie and TV show being removed from Netflix in April 2023.
We’ve aggregated all the impending removals from Netflix in the UK and US, which we’ve signalled below. If there isn’t a territory listed next to the title, then it will be leaving both.
Nb: We put this list together with help from What’s on Netflix.

A few years back, original Hocus Pocus star Thora Birch had expressed interest in returning for the sequel, which is now coming to Disney+ this Friday, September 30. Birch, however, isn’t back in Hocus Pocus 2 alongside the other legacy stars from the original classic, and the actress explains why in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight that went live this week.
The reason Thora Birch isn’t in Hocus Pocus 2? Scheduling issues.
Thora Birch tells Entertainment Tonight, “I was just a little dismayed I wasn’t able to make it. I was working on something else when they were filming. Otherwise I was definitely going to be there on set with the girls.”
“I can’t wait to see what they do with it,” Birch continues, “I know they’re taking a completely different, fresh approach, so I’m excited.”

Hulu's new psychic romantic comedy, Maggie, is different than other rom-coms. It premiered on July 8th.
It follows Maggie (Rebecca Rittenhouse), a fortune teller who can see the future. She's been unlucky in love and avoids it because of her powers.
Her life changes when she reads Ben's (David Del Rio) palms and sees them together in the future. We chatted with David Del Rio about modern dating and this unusual love triangle involving fate. Check out the interview below:
Hi David. I have enjoyed your acting since I saw you in The Baker and The Beauty. Do you think that role helped enhance your popularity?
I don't know. I ignore that, but I do know that ever since the series streamed on Netflix, I would get stopped in the street. For me, it's not Baker and The Beauty as much as people calling me Mc Cubano on the street.

ABC likes to have a sudsy primetime soap on its midseason roster, and Promised Land looks like a winner.
In the past, we've had one-and-done but highly watchable shows like Grand Hotel and The Baker and the Beauty, so we're hoping Promised Land stands the test of time.
The series is an epic, generation-spanning drama about two Latinx families vying for wealth and power in California’s Sonoma Valley.
The first trailer dropped at the network's panel during the Winter TCA tour, and there was another big announcement regarding the series:
The first two episodes will be available on Hulu the day after the series premiere on ABC, marking the first time ABC programming will be released on Hulu before debuting on the network.
The series premieres Monday, Jan. 24 (10:01-11:00 p.m. Est), on ABC, out of The Bachelor.
Will Promised Land and The Bachelor be a match made in TV heaven?...
