Now, period 2 has to choice up the pieces — which you can surely trust them to do in the way Lumon does: orderly and liminal. —Zosha Millman

Soon after the launch of Disney Plus, Pixar announced a streaming show called Win or Lose, which sounded like a kind of animated softball Rashomon: Each week, viewers would see the same events surrounding a coed mediate school softball team, but from a different squad member’s perspective. Fast forward a fewer years, and the show is yet coming to the platform.
