Week of Women: Dickinson, Alice Glass, Jazmine Sullivan

by Lydia Wang

After the longest and shortest year of our lives, we’ve made it to 2021—and with a new year comes a new lineup of books, music, TV, and more. Here are just some of our first pop culture picks of the year.

MOVIES/TV 

Dickinson

 

Apple TV+ has had some hits and some misses, but one of the streamer’s best standouts was Dickinson. Now, the quirky comedy-drama – based on the life of poet Emily Dickinson (Hailee Steinfeld) – is returning for a second season on January 8. (The show has also already been renewed for a third season, too!)

If Not Now, When?

 

Meagan Good, Mekia Cox, Tamara Bass, and Meagan Holder star in this movie about four friends who meet as teenagers and reconnect years later, when one of them suffers a crisis. Out January 8.
