Irish centre-right parties seek coalition deal as Trump threat looms
Ireland's two large centre-right parties are set to begin their search for a coalition partner this week after Friday's election looked likely to leave them just short of the 88 seats needed to govern, a choice that will help determine their policy platform. Prime Minister Simon Harris' Fine Gael and coalition partner Fianna Fail bucked a global trend of voters rejecting incumbents when they won 20.8% and 21.9% of the vote respectively, a broadly similar level to the last election in 2020. With outgoing junior coalition partner the Greens set to lose all but one of its seats, the choice is between one of Ireland's smaller left-leaning parties or a number of more conservative independent lawmakers.

The new series is set to premiere on Feb. 23 on the streamer, which means we're only about a month away from brand-new Suga Mama (and Puff!) content.

To get us through until then, we have our very first full-length trailer, and it truly does look louder and prouder than ever before.

In the reboot, the one and only Penny Proud is now in high school, which means navigating dating along with her father Oscar's...um, parenting techniques.

But just like on the classic series, for every one of Oscar's antics, Suga Mama is right there to call him out.

Seriously, every...single...time...

And while the animation style is all new and refreshed for 2022, all of the heart, hilarity, and our favorite characters are back — it's an instant dose of nostalgia!

And if that weren't enough, the season will have a TON of major names as guest stars — so make sure you're listening extra carefully when you watch.

So, now the official countdown begins — February 23 can't come soon enough!
