The drama, set on the North Shore of Oahu, focuses "on the relationships between an elite crew of heavy-water lifeguards and the teens and young adults they mentor and train in the junior lifeguard program. The junior guards program embodies the beauty, the danger, the struggle, and the spirit of aloha - all centered on the ocean - that is modern Hawaii."

LUST (HBO Max, New!) - The streamer has given an eight-episode order to the Swedish original series, "billed as an outrageous and painfully honest comedy about four middle-aged women in Stockholm struggling to keep their libidos alive in a sexually frustrating world."

When they find out that Anette is conducting a government survey dubiously dubbed "Make Sweden Sexy Again," they are intrigued. Is good sex - or the lack thereof - impacting the health of Swedish women over 40?". Writer Frans Milisic Wiklund (based on an idea by Åsa Kalmér, Dufvenius, Helin and Lundqvist), director Ella Lemhagen and producers Sandra Harms and Karl Fredrik Ulfung are among the auspices for Miso Film. (Deadline.com)

Once she acknowledges her long dormant ambition, Camila quietly works behind the scenes to become a formidable player in her family's drug empire."
