Alan Ritchson looks like he could break you in half with a flick of his pinkie, but the most fun thing about the hulking action star is that he's actually really funny. See, before he was drinking his weight in coffee and pulling the world's tiniest cellphone from his boot in Reacher, he was causing chaos on a much sillier show, and that series has found a new audience.
Blue Mountain State, the cult college football comedy starring Ritchson, is seeing a streaming boost years after its original run ended, as the series is currently charting at No. 9 on Apple TV’s PVOD Top 10 after previously sitting at No. 8, and it's also trending in territories where available, including Germany and Canada. Pretty decent return for a show that faded away a decade ago. But the timing might make a lot of sense.
Ritchson previously teased the possibility of a Blue Mountain State revival in early 2025, with later reports suggesting that Amazon was looking to fast-track a fourth season. There hasn't yet been a major follow-up on casting or story details, but the original show getting renewed attention certainly won’t hurt its chances.
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You're a systems thinker who can't help but notice the seams in things.
The wasteland doesn't reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That's you.
You'd survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn't have it any other way.
