WARNING: Season 4, Episode 4 spoilers ahead

The fourth episode of “The Boys” Season 4 has landed, and it's already being regarded as the best of the season so far. With a stellar 9.1 star rating on IMDb, the episode titled “Wisdom of the Ages” has fans buzzing about its shocking twists and turns. The episode centers around Vought's new show "Truth Bomb" hosted by the supe Firecracker (Valorie Curry). While the Boys attempt to blackmail Firecracker, she outmaneuvers them by leaking the details herself. Having turned the tables, she then calls out Starlight (Erin Moriarty) with another shocking allegation.

Meanwhile, A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) goes snooping around Homelander’s apartment, snatching a vial of Compound V and coming face-to-face with Ashley (Colby Minifie), who’s also doing some creeping of her own. Both are putting themselves at considerable risk, as Homelander (Antony Starr) has been on a rampage killing Vought employees.

One of the more gripping storylines involves Butcher's (Karl Urban) deteriorating health condition. With a mysterious worm-like creature burrowing into his brain, speculation is rife that his previous use of Compound V has given rise to a sentient illness. The parallels to the animated "Diabolical" spin-off series could hint at darker consequences ahead.

Meanwhile, the supe-killing virus fans first saw in “Gen V” raises concerns about its potential impact on newly powered characters like Hughie's father (Simon Pegg). If released, the virus may strip their abilities or lead to fatal outcomes. The episode's closing moments suggest Hughie's mother slips his father Compound V after Hughie gets cold feet.

As of this writing, “Wisdom of the Ages” is the third-highest rated episode of the series on IMDb. The top-rated episode is Season 3’s “Herogasm” at 9.6/10, followed by the Season 2 finale “What I Know” at 9.4. The high rating for the mid-season episode is a good sign for the season’s progression, as the first three episodes’ average of 7.6 was well below the overall series average of 8.7.

Actress Cristin Milioti is capturing attention in her new role as mafia family member Sofia Falcone, starring alongside Colin Farrell in Max’s upcoming series “The Penguin,” one of two comic book adaptations she’s appearing in this year. In May, Hulu announced she will join the cast of “Hit Monkey” for the animated show’s second season, premiering on July 15. But this is hardly the first time the actress has starred in a major movie or show. If you’ve seen the trailer new teaser for “The Penguin” and are wondering what you’ve seen her in before, here are some of her top credits on IMDb so far.

The Wolf of Wall Street

Cristin Miliotti may not be the first actor you think of when you recall Martin Scorsese’s 2013 exploration of greed ‘The Wolf of Wall Street,’ but the actress plays an integral role in the story of fraudulent stockbroker Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. As Teresa Petrillo, Militoi brought to life Belfort’s first wife, who was eventually replaced by Naomi Lapaglia (Margot Robbie), aka The Dutchess.

Palm Springs

Andy Samberg’s 2020 time loop comedy was embraced (trying to avoid the like/alike in the same sentence) by critics and fans alike, with a 7.4 star rating on IMDb. But Samberg’s Nyles would have been even more lost without Cristin Militoi as Sarah, a fellow wedding guest and love interest who gets trapped with him in a time loop, repeatedly attending the same wedding for somewhere between 40 and 40 million years.

Black Mirror

“Black Mirror” has featured many talented actors, from Daniel Kaluuya and Bryce Dallas Howard to Aaron Paul and Letitia Wright. Cristin Milioti became a “Black Mirror” alum in 2017 when she starred opposite Jesse Plemons in the Season 4 opener, “USS Callister.” In the Emmy-winning episode, Milioti plays a programmer trapped in a virtual world by her reclusive coworker harboring secret possessive fantasies.

Made for Love

“The Penguin” won’t be Cristin Milioti’s first time on a Max original series. In 2021, the actress starred in “Made for Love,” a sci-fi dramedy about a tech billionaire’s ex who discovers a tracking device implanted in her brain.

Notable TV Roles

Throughout the 2010s, Milioti also appeared in recurring roles on several popular shows you may have watched. She played the eponymous Mother in “How I Met Your Mother,” the coked out stockbroker Whitney in “The Mindy Project,” and as cancer-stricken Betsy Solverson in Season 2 of “Fargo.”

Olivia Colman is back for Season 2 of “The Night Manager,” reprising her Emmy-nominated role as intelligence officer Angela Burr, Variety has learned. Also returning for the new edition: Alistair Petrie as Alexander “Sandy” Langbourne; Douglas Hodge as Rex Mayhew; Michael Nardone as Frisky; and Noah Jupe as Danny Roper (who apparently now goes by “Daniel”).

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains light spoilers for “Fantasmas” through Episode 3, “Toilets.”]

Sitting in an office as transparently fake as any late-night talk show set, Julio Torres pitches his idea of Crayola’s next great crayon color: clear. The executives across from him are dubious, even angry at his proposal. “Clear isn’t a color,” one shouts. “If it isn’t a color, what do you call this?” Julio asks, gesturing to absolutely nothing. “Call what?” the suit asks. “The space between us — the emotional space,” Julio says, before waxing poetic (as he has before) about a clear glass of water, clear smells, and the clear memories all around them. “Some things aren’t one of the normal colors,” he says. “They don’t play by the rules of the rainbow. […] To color something clear is to acknowledge that some things are different, and that’s just fine.”

Instantly, a smile spread across my face. “Fantasmas,” from start to finish,...

“Bridgerton” had a predictably massive week on Luminate’s weekly viewership rankings, landing as the No. 1 streaming original for June 14-20. In the first full week of availability of Season 3’s last four episodes, the season was watched for 3.1 billion minutes. The earlier seasons of “Bridgerton” continued to see solid viewership, with Season 1 landing at No. 4 with 297.8 million minutes watched and Season 2 taking No. 9 with 255.6 million minutes watched.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Doctor Who Season 1 finale “Empire of Death.”] Well, the good news is we now know who Ruby’s (Millie Gibson) mother is after the Doctor Who Season 1 finale, “Empire of Death.” The more frustrating than bad news? The mystery of Mrs. Flood (Anita Dobson), Ruby’s neighbor who knows about the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and has spoken directly to the camera more than once now, continues. Sutekh and his followers (Susan Twist‘s Susan Triad and Genesis Lynea’s Harriet Arbinger) bring his “dust of death” to pretty much the entire universe. Yes, Kate (Jemma Redgrave), Rose (Yasmin Finney), Carla (Michelle Greenidge), Cherry (Angelya Wynter), and Mrs. Flood (with her chilling apology to Cherry) are among the dead (for now?). The Doctor and Mel (Bonnie Langford) escape back to Unit and into the Time Window with Ruby. In that Time Window is a Tardis—made of memories, feeding off Ruby...

Sanaa Hamri, executive producer and director of the Prime Video fantasy series “The Wheel of Time,” feels like she’s just getting started.

The Moroccan-born filmmaker began her career in the late 1990s directing music videos for artists such as Prince, Mariah Carey, Sting and Nicki Minaj. She transitioned to television in the mid-2000s, directing episodes of “Desperate Housewives,” “Glee,” and “Nashville.” Hamri made her feature directorial debut in 2006 with the romantic comedy “Something New” for Focus Features. She has since directed the hit 2008 sequel “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2” for Warner Bros. and the romantic comedy...

If you’re one of the many, many people who finally discovered “Suits” this year, man, does Netflix have exciting news for you. The final season of the USA Network program will finally hit Netflix in July. Previously, Seasons 1-8 were available on the streamer (Meghan Markle and others left the show after Season 7), and Season 9, starring Katherine Heigl, used to only be available to stream on Peacock. So this will be the first time all those viewers that started binging the series last year will become aware that there is actually even more of it.

Huge news for some people!

For the rest of us there is a plethora of intriguing movie and TV options to watch on Netflix this month, including critical Olympics prep in “Simone Biles Rising,” a two-episode docu-series that will allow viewers to watch Biles prep for her Olympics returns as well as study her (insane!

When it comes to the family at the center of HBO‘s hilarious Danny McBride comedy The Righteous Gemstones, music is a key component to their bond, but how does the distinctive sound of the megachurch-set series come together? Music Supervisor DeVoe Yates and Composer Joseph Stephens are two of the creatives helping to bring the cheery musical numbers and compositions together along with the more epic and holy-sounding tunes set against the show’s more dramatic moments. Season 3 had its fair share of music moments between Uncle Baby Billy’s (Walton Goggins) Bible Bonkers and the introduction of the Montgomery family. Among one of the first performances of the season though was the inclusion of “There’ll Come a Payday,” the old gospel song Billy sings by the pool at Zion’s Landing, the religious resort the Gemstones opened in Season 2. When it came to selecting the song, Yates says,...

In April 2019, New York magazine published “Larry Ray and the Stolen Kids of Sarah Lawrence,” a shocking account of a group of bright college students who fell under the influence of a classmate’s father and did everything he asked of them, no matter how vile — ultimately resulting in his incarceration for sex trafficking, extortion, and conspiracy. As a Sarah Lawrence graduate, director Elisabeth Rohm read the article with intense interest. “It could have happened to me,” she told IndieWire. “I felt so strongly about that.” Rohm immediately saw the potential for a compelling feature film, but it would take several years of script development and untangling of legal issues for the story to finally make it to the screen.

The result was worth the wait. Lifetime’s “Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story” is easily one of the best TV movies in years, a tonally complex and expertly...

Apple TV+ brought viewers to Palm Royale earlier this year, making way for a strong ensemble of empowering female characters, among which included Leslie Bibb‘s Dinah Donahue. Becoming Maxine’s (Kristen Wiig) first reluctant friend of the season, Dinah is initially harsh to the newcomer until she helps her access an abortion, a next-to-impossible task in the 1969-set comedy. Realizing she might be able to trust Maxine to an extent, Dinah may be blackmailed into sponsoring Maxine at her ultra-exclusive club, but over time their dynamic transforms into something resembling a friendship. When it came to taking on the role, Bibb says, “There’s this vulnerability underneath her that I was always trying to find. I think that that’s who we all are as people. Nobody’s just an a**hole. There’s a reason we all have some trauma that led us to this point in our lives.

Billy Zane makes his Lifetime movie debut in the network’s new original film Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story, premiering June 23. The movie is based on the true story of Larry Ray, an ex-con who moved in with his daughter at Sarah Lawrence College and started a cult that included many of his daughter’s friends. Ray’s crimes were exposed in a New York Magazine article, and he’s since been sentenced to 60 years in federal prison. Zane and director/executive producer Elisabeth Rohm spoke with TV Insider about exploring Ray’s twisted crimes and what happened to his victims. “What I really enjoyed and understood up front why this was absolutely the right place to tell this story was the restraint shown by the platform and the network,” Zane said. “Had it been in the hands of any other streamer, I think it would be too salacious,...

Hands down, Giancarlo Esposito remains the busiest man in show business. Over the past year he’s starred in AMC’s “Parish” (which he also executive produces), Netflix’s “The Gentlemen,” Disney+’s “The Mandalorian,” MGM+’s “Godfather of Harlem,” Netflix’s “Kaleidoscope” and voiced Max’s “Harley Quinn.”

And on the film side, his recent gigs include “Abigail” and the upcoming “MaXXXine” and Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.”

“I wrote in my notes last week, ‘I’m the busiest motherfucker,’” Esposito laughs. “I know. It was a very weird note, just to remind myself that all my dreams are coming true…...

The Hollywood Creative Alliance has ended its defamation lawsuit against the Critics Choice Association, as both sides announced Friday that they had reached an “amicable agreement.” In a joint announcement between Cca CEO Joey Berlin and Hca CEO Scott Menzel, the two sides said that the Critics Choice Association will once again allow its members to also be a part of the Hollywood Creative Alliance.

Also, Berlin has joined Hca’s advisory committee to “provide guidance on the best practices in awards show production and not-for-profit organization management,” and Hca has agreed to advise Cca on “best accessibility practices at its events.

Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini explores the wild tale of Sherri Papini’s 2016 disappearance, her return, and her false kidnapping claims being exposed years later. Her now ex-husband, Keith Papini, tells his side of the story for the first time and reveals how Sherri’s lies affected him and their family. TV Insider spoke with the documentary’s filmmakers, Erin Lee Carr and Michael Beach Nichols, as well as executive producer Allison Berkley about the biggest questions we had after watching the three-episode docuseries. How many times was Sherri contacted about participating in the documentary? Sherri did not participate in the documentary. At the end of the third episode, the filmmakers noted that Sherri was contacted several times, but she never responded. “I was in charge of basically trying to get in contact with Sherri,” Carr told TV Insider. “I really thought I was going to do it.

In Episode 3 of “Presumed Innocent” (“The Discovery”), showrunner David E. Kelley turns the heat on Jake Gyllenhaal’s Rusty Sabitch, Chicago’s slick chief deputy prosecutor suspected of brutally murdering his pregnant mistress and colleague, Carolyn (Renate Reinsve). It kicks off with Rusty receiving the shocking text —”You were there, I saw you” — which places him at the scene of the crime, denies him an alibi, and further points to his guilt.

For editor Philip Neel (Episodes 3 and 6), this was a great entry point for cutting Rusty’s obsession with Carolyn and how it spiraled out of control in a twisted confluence of sex, politics, power, and love. “Nobody writes better courtroom drama than David Kelley,” Neel told IndieWire. “And he made a lot of changes. He was able to expand the dimensions of the mystery and flesh out the characters more [beyond Scott Turow’s 1987 novel and the 1990 movie starring...

Any debate between 2024 presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump is bound to become a media circus. This one has a few more acts.

Some of the fiercest rivals in TV will gather Thursday night at 9 p.m., and work toward something noble: ensuring as many Americans as possible can see the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates explain their views in a rare one-on-one joust.

The TV networks teaming up to make it happen aren’t necessarily doing it out of a feeling of good will.

“Actors on Actors” Season 20 was the most-watched Emmys lineup in Variety history, garnering 97 million video views across social media and outpacing 2023’s record-breaking TV season.

Occurring twice a year during Emmys and Oscars voting, Variety’s “Actors on Actors” spotlights the biggest and buzziest names of each awards season. The 2024 TV lineup included Robert Downey Jr. and Jodie Foster’s “Home for the Holidays” reunion; a heartfelt and honest discussion between Quinta Brunson and Jennifer Aniston; and the first-ever public conversation of “The Crown’s” Dianas, Elizabeth Debicki and Emma Corrin.

While breaking down Prime Video’s “Fallout,” showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet recognized that they were headed straight toward a “whopper pileup” in their finale. With three main characters — Lucy (Ella Purnell), Maximus (Aaron Moten) and the Ghoul/Cooper (Walton Goggins) — barreling toward the climactic showdown housed inside a burned-out, post-apocalyptic Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, the duo realized they had three major narrative reveals about to collide.

“We talked briefly about spreading the gravy a little thinner, as you spread gravy, of course,” jokes Wagner. “And at some point, there was a moment we were like, ‘Fuck it,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Carley Fortune’s This Summer Will Be Different.] Carley Fortune has become one of the most popular authors among beach read lovers. Her first two novels, Every Summer After and Meet Me at the Lake, shot to the top of The New York Times bestsellers list, and now she’s back with her latest romance, This Summer Will Be Different. Readers will be transported to the gorgeous Prince Edward Island as Lucy and Felix forge an instant connection they can’t let go of year after year.

Fortune spoke with TV Insider about her charming and swoon-worthy third novel and the latest on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle adapting Meet Me at the Lake through their Archewell Productions hub for Netflix.

“Only Murders in the Building” will be getting even more murder-solvers with a meta twist.

The upcoming fourth season of the beloved Hulu series will star Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Eva Longoria as the film adaptation versions of Steve Martin’s Charles, Martin Short’s Oliver, and Selena Gomez’s Mabel, respectively.

Levy, Galifianakis, and Longoria were all previously announced as cast members, but there roles are now confirmed. All actors are playing versions of themselves.

Of course, Levy, Galifianakis, and Longoria are no strangers to TV. Levy led Emmy-winning viral series “Schitts Creek,” while Longoria appeared in the iconically camp ABC drama “Desperate Housewives.” Galifianakis starred alongside Ted Danson in the cult HBO comedy “Bored to Death,” another show that combined elements of comedy and murder mystery.

Per the official synopsis for “Only Murders in the Building” Season 4, the main trio’s investigation leads them all the way...

Survivor Season 50 is going to be a returning players season, the first since Season 40, “Winners at War.” Knowing that famous Survivor faces will be coming back is an exciting prospect for longtime lovers of the series, and we already have an idea of who we’d like to see take on this epic TV challenge again. Host and showrunner Jeff Probst previously told TV Insider that one player from Season 46 is likely getting an invitation to return: Q Burdette, the controversial but entertaining player from the most recent season whose strategy was to sow chaos and take advantage of unrest. “Q is a great example of a player whom we really wanted on the show and we never saw this part of his game at any point during the casting process,” Probst told us. “He’s so unpredictable and so electric and polarizing. And another player that you could say...

Jennifer Lawrence is leaning in to her Bravo super fandom.

The consummate “Real Housewives” franchise binger and frequent “Wwhl” guest will lead a film in development for Apple Original Films and A24 called “The Wives” that will feature a “Housewives” inspired murder, an individual with knowledge of the project told IndieWire.

Much like Netflix’s “Knives Out” ensemble whodunit, “The Wives” will focus on elite housewives who may or may not have a murderer among them, according to Variety, which first reported the news. Specific plot details are being kept under wraps.

The feature will be written by Michael Breslin and Patrick Foley, who both wrote the Pulitzer Prize finalist play “Circle Jerk.”

“The Wives” will be produced by Jeremy O. Harris (“Zola,” “Slave Play”) and Josh Godfrey under their bb2 banner. Lawrence and Justine Ciarrocchi are also producing for their banner Excellent Cadaver.

Lady Whistledown would be enjoying every bit of this! After the release of Part 2 of Bridgerton Season 3, fans began speculating that “romantic” and “intimate moments” between Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) were deleted from the final cut. A fan, who dubbed themselves “Lady Whistleblower,” started a Change.org petition and alleged that four specific Polin scenes were nixed, including an “angry kissing scene,” a scene in “in bed together talking about publishing Colin’s manuscripts,” Colin “whispering sweet nothings” to Penelope in front of the mirror, and a “long intimate montage in Episode 8.” The fan claimed that these scenes were viewed by those who had access to episodes in advance. The petition has gotten over 67,000 signatures. It’s unclear where fans got this information from, and two of these scenes were in Season 3. Colin definitely whispered “sweet nothings” to Penelope in front of the mirror in Episode 5, and...

Todd Harthan has been tapped as the new showrunner and executive producer of ABC’s “High Potential,” starring Kaitlin Olson. Harthan was previously executive producer/showrunner of Fox’s “The Resident,” which ran for six seasons and recently was a hit off-net for Netflix.

Harthan replaces previous showrunner Rob Thomas, who departed the project earlier this month. The series is set to air Tuesdays at 10 p.m. this fall, after “Dancing With the Stars.”

Production is back on after a previously scheduled hiatus. Thomas’ departure was described as “amicable.” Exec producer Drew Goddard is the writer behind “High Potential,” which...

I think about an anecdote that Clint Eastwood once told regarding Chief Dan George. Clint campaigned for an Oscar nomination for George’s excellent performance in “The Outlaw Josey Wales.” A common reply from voters was, “Well, he wasn’t acting. He was just being himself.”

In late October 2019, Sterlin Harjo first mentioned “Reservation Dogs” to me. Sterlin told me that he and Taika Waititi were developing a TV show for FX — and if a miracle happened (God willin’ and the creek don’t rise) and the show got made, he wanted me to be a part of it. Well,...

The Star Wars prequels did plenty of wrong (from the dialogue to the pacing), but they got plenty right, too. Arguably the best thing George Lucas came up with for the prequels was the idea of the Jedi Order as a corrupt religious cult, an organization that indoctrinated their members and tied them up in bureaucracy and red tape.

This idea has only grown over time, with titles like The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian adding to the Jedi just being the worst. Now The Acolyte is here to present a brand new era of Star Wars, one that still shares one big thing with the prequels — the Jedi Order still sucks, and it’s always sucked.

Within a single afternoon, the Perfect Match cast stirs up a perfect storm of drama. Melinda and Harry’s he said, she said kissing scandal throws the villa and his relationship with Jess into chaos, but the finale comes through with the receipts: Unseen footage shows the Too Hot to Handle alums canoodling purposefully out of the watchful eyes of the cameras.

For Melinda, coming between one of the season’s strongest couples was never part of the plan. But while others may be afraid to kiss and tell, she’s clear about her side of the story.

Walking into the boys’ day with the rest of the single women, Melinda says she was “mentally checked out [as far as] trying to pursue anybody,” — she hadn’t been clicking with any of the men romantically. “I didn’t like anyone there and I wasn’t interested in trying to persuade anyone to match with me,...

It’s New York City, 1989. Susan Seidelman is in the delivery room, in labor with her son. “Siskel and Ebert” plays on the TV, and in between contractions, the two critics are tearing apart her new movie “She-Devil.” “Watching them review my film literally with the doctor’s hand inside of me telling me to push was very strange,” Seidelman recalls.

That surreal scene is just one of the memorable moments the trailblazing director recounts in “Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls.” By turns reflective and celebratory, the book covers the surprises and setbacks of...

When Anthony Michael Hall stopped by the TV Insider office to chat about his new Netflix movie, Trigger Warning, we had to ask if we’d get to see him again on Bosch: Legacy. Hall appears on the Prime Video series as Special Agent Will Barron, who in the second season led the task force investigating Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) and Honey Chandler’s involvement in Carl Rogers’ murder. So can we expect to see Hall back on the Bosch spinoff next season? “I was hoping so, but… I think they just are leaving that character alone,” he reveals. “I’m cool with it though, but it was weird. It kind of faked me out because the season ended on a cliffhanger, and I was playing this lead FBI guy that was going after [Harry Bosch].” “But listen, I had a great time on that show,” he continues. “You know, there’s...

FX‘s The Bear returns for Season 3 on Hulu in mere days, and while most of what’s to come remains a mystery, star Jeremy Allen White got candid about the latest chapter in an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. During their conversation, White confirmed, “I get out of the fridge which is good.” Referring to his character Carmy Berzatto’s status at the end of Season 2 when he found himself trapped in the walk-in during the opening night of his restaurant.  Despite the stressful scenario, White assured Colbert that Season 3 is binge-worthy, despite his own aversion to watching himself in the hit series. “I have a very hard time watching myself on-camera… I don’t do it, I don’t like it,” the actor admitted. After receiving screeners for the season though, White revealed, “I usually wait for a very long time or don’t watch at all,...

Apparently, the succession plot twists at the Renaissance Fair in Todd Mission, Texas did not end with the conclusion of the three-part HBO docuseries “Ren Faire.” In fact, according to director Lance Oppenheim, it was the airing of the last two episodes on June 9 that actually led to the latest chapter in the saga.

“George [Coulam] watched Episodes 2 and 3, and he loved the series so much that he actually cleaned the office out again and he gave Jeff [Baldwin] his old job back, so now Jeff is the new general manager,” said Oppenheim on an upcoming episode of IndieWire’s Toolkit podcast. “Jeff is back in charge.”

This is the position Baldwin was in at the start of Episode 1 of “Ren Faire.” The loyal, dedicated employee of 43 years, had risen from being the festival’s long-serving entertainment director to its new general manager, in charge of running the day-to-day operations of the...

Did Harry Jowsey and Melinda Berry really lock lips during the boys’ day out at the cenote? That question became the ultimate “he said, she said” debate of Perfect Match Season 2. Well, everyone found out the truth in the Season 2 finale. In the second batch of episodes, a kissing scandal emerged between Harry and Melinda. As Melinda watched the episodes back at home, she refused to back down from her claim that she and Harry kissed while he was still very much with Jessica Vestal. “Wow. Wow. Oh, I cannot wait for the truth to come out. Oh, God,” Melinda said on her Instagram Story on June 14. So, what really went down between Harry and Melinda? Let’s break down the kissing scandal and the truth. What happened between Harry & Melinda? In Episode 8, the contestants still in the game were separated from their matches. The matched-up couples faced the ultimate...

Billy Zane recently told Entertainment Weekly that “actors should get emotional stunt pay” after he transformed into the Sarah Lawrence cult leader Larry Ray for the upcoming Lifetime movie “Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story.” Ray was an ex-con who moved into his daughter’s dorm at Sarah Lawrence college in 2010 and gained manipulative control over her roommates’ lives. His abusive sex cult lasted for a decade before he was convicted and given a 60-year prison sentence. Playing Rey required Zane to gain weight and film several abuse scenes.

“Actors should get emotional stunt pay,” Zane said. “The secondary experience encroaches on the primary.

Those of us who grew up with “Sesame Street” still remember Guy Smiley, the stereotypical game show host as originally voiced by Jim Henson. Guy was loud, boisterous and the host of everything from “Here Is Your Life” and “Beat the Time” to “Name That Sound!”

Guy Smiley served a purpose for “Sesame Street,” and so did real-life game show hosts. It was a very specific group: Bob Barker, Monty Hall, Jack Berry, Bill Cullen, Wink Martindale, Bob Eubanks, Richard Dawson, Gene Rayburn, Alex Trebek and many more. As he retires, “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak may be the...

Eric Bana is venturing into the wilderness of America’s national parks in upcoming limited series Untamed.

Created by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith (The Marsh King’s Daughter), the character-driven mystery thriller follows Kyle Turner (Bana), a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast wilderness. The investigation of a brutal death sends Inman on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past.

He’s a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and friend to Turner. He’s comfortable in all facets of his job, whether it’s dealing with crime inside the park or with the bureaucracy around it.

Kelli Finglass’s voice is the first one you hear in America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders,the new seven-episode docuseries from Cheer creator Greg Whiteley. It’s not her inside voice, either — like she’s done countless times before, the longtime director of the squad is corralling her team backstage before a halftime show.

“Ok y’all, are we ready?” Finglass shouts from off-screen. “Yes ma’am,” the group dutifully answers. “Listen up!” Finglass says, increasing her volume by just the right number of decibels to let you know she means business. Her tone implies that what’s coming could be a series of last-minute corrections or a full-blown dressing down. But then her voice softens.

“I just want to remind y’all that you are known as world-famous, the best in the business … how hard y’all worked to get here. You’re going to perform like you practice.

“I love those stories that whatever you think is happening — it’s not that,” says Betsy Brandt. And this psychological thriller fits the bill: “It’s a fantastic story, and it’s not what it looks like.” If you’re familiar with last year’s true crime blockbuster The Curious Case of Natalia Grace and its 2024 follow-up, Natalia Speaks, you’ll recognize the bones of the jaw-dropping tale that is The Bad Orphan, premiering Saturday, June 22 at 8/7c on Lifetime. In the new film, Karl and Jessica (Brandt) — already parents of a daughter named Rhiannon — spend years trying to expand their family. They ultimately adopt an 8-year-old orphan who might be more troubled than they first thought. “They’re like, this is what we need.

With the first 2024 presidential election debate taking place on June 27, the cohosts of The View talked a bit about what audiences might expect on Friday’s (June 21) first “Hot Topics” segment, and they each had a lot of opinions on how Joe Biden should handle himself in his newest debate with Donald Trump. “I think the stakes are incredibly high for both. I think it’s important that it’s happening for democracy, seeing them side by side, seeing the contrast and the juxtaposition,” Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration official, said to start. “For Biden, I think he needs to take head-on the issue of age and vitality. He needs to show up. He needs to look forceful and in command of facts,” Griffin continued. “Donald Trump needs to appear not crazy, and I have to say, there is a world in which he could get through 90 minutes,...

Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson appeared at Thursday’s Fox Sports televised MLB game between San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals, which took place at the historic Rickwood Field to honor the late, great Willie Mays, who died this week at the age of 93. Being at the Birmingham, Alabama, ballpark, which was the home of the Birmingham Black Barons where Mays began his career, brought back some tough memories for him. Jackson shared those thoughts in a poignant and must-watch moment of television. When asked by Alex Rodriguez about his emotional experience of returning to the field and being a trailblazer for other Black athletes, Jackson said frankly, “Coming back here is not easy. The racism that I played here when I played here, the difficulty of going through different places where we traveled… Fortunately, I had a manager, and I had players on the team that helped me get through it,...

After beginning production in Montana on May 20, Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 officially has a release date. MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios announced the impending release on Thursday, June 20, the sixth anniversary of the Yellowstone series premiere on Paramount Network. When Yellowstone returns, it will purportedly be for the series’ final episodes. And as of June 21, we know for sure that Kevin Costner‘s John Dutton will not be part of them. The Oscar winner confirmed in a message to fans on Instagram that “won’t be returning” for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2. The battle for the future of the ranch will be a civil war when the show returns, as the Season 5 Part 1 finale pitted John and Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) against Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley). It’s hard to imagine reconciliation between TV’s most toxic sibling rivalry; bloodshed is far more likely for this Taylor Sheridan series. ...

90210 star Shannen Doherty has blasted her estranged husband, photographer Kurt Iswarienko, in a new court filing, accusing him of prolonging their divorce in the hopes she dies first. In a filing obtained by Fox News Digital, Doherty claims Iswarienko is trying to avoid paying her spousal support by dragging his feet when it comes to the divorce settlement. “It is simply not right that Kurt be permitted to prolong our divorce in hopes that I die before he is required to pay me while he continues to live his life and shirk his responsibilities to his dying wife of more than 11 years,” the Charmed alum wrote. Doherty, who was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 before going into remission, revealed in 2020 that the cancer had returned at stage 4. The cancer has since spread to her brain. In April, she shared a heartbreaking update on her Let’s Be Raw podcast,...

Send in the clones? They’re already here. In the TV world, they’re called spinoffs. Also reboots or remakes or sequels, the latter applying to Orphan Black: Echoes, which updates the Emmy-winning sci-fi cult hit about a cloning experiment and related conspiracies. Echoes reverberates with callbacks to the previous series (2013-17)—although you will only hear references to, but never see, its principal character, Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) and her scientific offshoots. I’m sure she’s not at all surprised that by the 2050s, where Echoes is set, science has advanced to 4D printouts of vital organs—great for humanitarian transplants!—and, as we soon learn, capable of duplicating full-scale human beings, albeit with fuzzy memories of their source material. One such creature, enduring the most extreme of existential crises, is the disoriented Lucy (an understandably woebegone Krysten Ritter), who declares, “I have to find out who I...
