Emerald Fennell’s upcoming book-to-screen adaptation Wuthering Heights hasn’t even come out yet, and fans are already talking. Not only has the shock factor come from early screenings calling it “aggressively provocative,” but also from the casting choice of Jacob Elordi that’s made fans very upset. The English filmmaker got real on why Elordi was cast in the 2026 movie release despite fan backlash, calling the actor’s performance “very surprising.”When it was announced that Jacob Elordi would be portraying Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, the Australian actor received backlash for being “whitewashed,” since Heathcliff is described as “dark-skinned” in the Emily Brontë…
The Boys world is expanding yet again with Vought Rising, with the action set during the early days of Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) and Stormfront (Aya Cash). Those two reprising their roles from The Boys is enough to make this a stacked cast for any viewer with a Prime Video subscription; now, another four have been announced to join those two in the 1950s of that TV universe, including an SNL alum and an actress from the world of Westeros over on HBO.In a very fitting move for a TV universe that spans genres, the new cast members hail from…
The finale of Lioness Season 2 aired on December 8, 2024. Now, about ten months later, as we’re nearing the end of the 2025 TV schedule, the Taylor Sheridan series has finally been renewed for Season 3. Obviously, that kind of window between a finale and renewal is fairly unusual, and now, along with news that a junior season is coming, it’s been claimed that the long wait had to do, in part, with Nicole Kidman.Kidman, who is top-billed on the show alongside Zoe Saldaña, was reportedly working out a new contract for Season 3, per Deadline, and that’s partially…
Christopher Chung, who plays Roddy Ho in Slow Horses, is a team player. Season 5 of the Apple TV+ show is just getting started as part of the 2025 TV schedule, and Ho is already key to the plot of the new season. Chung has been part of the Slough House team since the show debuted, and in a recent interview, I asked him about working with Sir Gary Oldman. It turns out it was a moment after he thought the cameras had stopped that made him truly understand his character, which in turn produced one of Ho’s best lines.Gary…
Refresh 2025-10-02T03:11:16.878Z (Image credit: Lori Allen/NBC) One Chicago Premiere MVPs My MVP of the Chicago Med premiere has to be Dean Archer. This wasn’t his most eventful episode of the series, but his reaction to Hannah’s pregnancy – whether he or Ripley was the father – was what I was the most nervous about heading in to Season 11. Fortunately, Med nailed it in three ways: 1) Ripley not being the father, 2) Archer having a mature reaction to the news, and 3) Archer pushing slightly but ultimately supporting her.I’ve gone back and forth on the Chicago Fire MVP, and my instinct…
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air remains one of the best NBC sitcoms ever, even almost 30 years after it ended. Even though the show centered on Will Smith’s character of the same name, much of the Fresh Prince cast also received their flowers, including Alfonso Ribeiro. His character, Carlton Banks, is a fan-favorite, and Alfonso Ribeiro offered up the secret sauce about why he was so popular on the show.Carlton had some pretty great moments throughout Fresh Prince’s six-season run, especially when it comes to his infamous Carlton dance that Ribeiro even recreated on Dancing With the Stars. But it’s…
Landman is heading back to Paramount+ this November, and fans can prepare for Taylor Sheridan’s next chart-topper with the new trailer for Season 2. Landman joined the several Paramount+ shows created by Sheridan in 2024, a new series not linked to his Yellowstone franchise but pulling in the same crowd who just can’t get enough of his neo-Western dramas. The Season 1 premiere landed the biggest viewing figures of any series debut on the platform, which was then overtaken just a few months later by another Sheridan baby, 1923. Based on the law of averages, it would be foolish to…

It took a whole heap of guest stars to help push that storyline into its next exciting chapter, and I’m…

María Gabriela de Faría’s Angela Spicer, a.k.a. The Engineer, was one of Lex Luthor’s two main sources of muscle (and maybe a romantic interest) during the events of Superman. The nanotechnology in her body made her a formidable threat to David Corenswet’s Man of Steel in the 2025 movie release. As it turns out, de Faria came close to working with writer and director James Gunn earlier through his previous DC movie, The Suicide Squad. Unfortunately, a language barrier issue stopped that from happening.During her appearance on Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum, María Gabriela de Faría recalled to the…
