It’s been a long few weeks since the first part of Bridgerton Season 3 debuted on Netflix, sending fans into a frenzy over the romance between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). Although the second part doesn’t debut until June 13, at least we now have a trailer to tide us over.
In the clip, Colin and Penelope are engaged, much to the horror of Eloise and the delight of Portia. But drama is still afoot, especially since Penelope has not yet told Colin her big secret about being Lady Whistledown.

Whether you asked for it or not, Prime Video’s epic fantasy series based on The Lord of the Rings appendices by legendary author J.R.R. Tolkien is back with its much-anticipated second season. Created by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, The Rings of Power had a pretty turbulent first season even with its massive budget of $1 billion but still it was one of the most watched shows on Prime Video, so maybe this season the creators of the series will change hearts and minds of frustrated fans.
In Season 2, Sauron has officially returned and after being cast out by Galadriel and without any allies he must rebuild his power through his cunning to oversee the creation of the Rings of Power. His ultimate plan with the rings is to bend the people of Middle-earth to his will. While the Dark Lord is rising our heroes are also getting ready for his eventual attack.

While the main events of Game of Thrones kick off with Jon Arryn’s death, they really start spiraling out of control once Ned Stark learns the truth about Cersei’s children. The Warden of the North managed to establish two crucial facts: that Robert Baratheon wasn’t the father of Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella — and that Jaime Lannister was.
But one doesn’t necessitate the other, so how did Ned come to the realization that there was some twincest involved in this already messy succession story?
Ned Easily Deducted That Robert Wasn’t the Father
The first step of Ned’s investigation didn’t require him to have a doctorate in genetics. He first started suspecting something when he learned about Jon Arryn’s inquiries about King Robert’s bastards and the records about Great Houses’ members. It didn’t take long for him to put two and two...

Prime Video recently released the first trailer for the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, giving us a glimpse of several new and returning characters who will be back to continue the battle to project Middle-earth from Sauron and his forces this August.
One familiar face was significant by her absence, however, and we now know why.
EW reports that Nazanin Boniadi, who played the human healer Bronwyn in season 1, will not reprise the role. The site claims that her reason for leaving the show is due to her decision to take a break from acting in 2022 to focus her attention on a real-world crisis that developed in her home country of Iran.

Excitement for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 is heating up faster than a Helm’s Deep forge, with Tolkien fans eager to return to Middle-earth for more adventures in the beloved fantasy universe. Unfortunately, Nazanin Boniadi, who played Bronwyn, won’t return for new episodes of the Hobbit-inhabited series after briefly stepping away from acting in 2022.
For the uninitiated, Bronwyn is a human healer who gave birth to Theo (Tyroe Muhafidin) and engaged in a forbidden romance with the Silvan elf warrior Arondir (Ismael Cruz Cordova). Eagle-eyed fans clocked Bronwyn’s absence from The Rings of Power Season 2 teaser and have wondered if the character would return. When she’s not sharing her gifts on camera, Boniadi is a staunch activist, so she briefly left acting to focus her attention on the #WomanLifeFreedom movement in Iran.

Within the vast landscape of Asian cinema, the works by Takeshi Kitano, as director and actor, have always been highly anticipated by many. However, when news spread he would retire from filmmaking after making one more feature, fans already thought this one might be the samurai epic he had been developing ever since “Sonatine”. Based on the infamous Honno-ji incident, the story portrays a time of political and social upheaval in Japan and is following the footsteps of directors such as Akira Kurosawa who made countless classics and established the historical samurai movie. “Kubi”, which translates to “neck”, also features a cast of many renowned actors, for example, Ryo Kase, Tadanobu Asano, Susumu Terajima and Kitano himself in one of the leading roles.

Harry Potter spent a lot of time and effort and lost many good friends to destroy Lord Voldemort’s Horcruxes and kill that monster once and for all. It was Albus Dumbledore who taught him how to do that, but at the turning point, Harry learned that he, too, was a Horcrux and was supposed to die by the Dark Lord’s hand.
In Snape’s memory, the Potion Master was infuriated by this revelation and accused Dumbledore of “raising Harry like a pig for slaughter.” Was his accusation rightful?
Dumbledore Knew Harry Would Die for Years
Ever since Albus Dumbledore first saw Harry as an infant and noticed his unique scar, he suspected that there was some sort of a connection between The Boy Who Lived and Lord Voldemort. His suspicions were confirmed in the finale of The Chamber of Secrets when Harry handed him the destroyed Diary — a Horcrux.

A right-wing flag flew outside Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s beach vacation home in Long Beach Island, New Jersey.
The “Appeal to Heaven” flag had been seen flying at Alito’s beach home on Google Images searches in July and September 2023. Still, it was unclear how long the flag was flying or how much time the Supreme Court Justice had spent there.
The “Appeal to Heaven” flag, otherwise known as the “Pine Tree” flag, features an old evergreen tree drawn on a white background with “An Appeal to Heaven” written in black block letters.
Col. Joseph Reed, a right-hand man to then-General George Washington during the Revolutionary War, originally designed the flag.
“Please fix upon some particular color for a flag and a signal by which our vessels may know one another,” Reed mentioned in a letter from Cambridge, Mass. to Colonels John Glover and Stephen Moylan, dated October 20, 1775, according to researchers.

Ever since the Five Elders stepped on Egghead Island in One Piece, things have gotten worse for the Straw Hat Pirates. The Five Elders have changed the entire course of the battle and not only stopped Dr. Vegapunk from escaping the island but also proved that Luffy’s Gear 5 abilities are not enough.
Five Elders in One Piece | Toei Animation
If Luffy and his crew manage to escape from the island by some miracle, it will not change the simple fact that Luffy’s abilities are insufficient for the next stage in the One Piece story. While the Five Elders are some of Luffy’s most formidable opponents, the forthcoming antagonists will be even more powerful.
As a result, Luffy basically needs a power-up that could give him powers better than Gear 5 and enable him to take down the Five Elders as well as all future adversaries. Eiichiro Oda may...

House of the Dragon season 2 is less than a month away from hitting Max, and that’s about all we can talk about right now.
The show promised to be back with an epic fight after the jaw-dropping season 1 ending, but all the fuss around the Game of Thrones prequel’s comeback is spurred not only by George R.R. Martin’s book series lovers (who already know how drastically things will turn in the next installment), but especially by the show’s proper actors.
Though House of the Dragon’s cast is surely prohibited to spill the beans on everything that’s about to happen in there, one of the show’s actresses has just dropped a major spoiler, and, unsurprisingly, it has a lot to do with Game of Thrones.

‘Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic’ (Kotor) is a role-playing video game developed by BioWare and published by LucasArts. It was released in 2003, and since then, it’s been lauded as one of the best Star Wars games.
The game is set around 4,000 years before the rise of the Galactic Empire, exploring the earlier years of the ancient Galactic Republic following the events of the “Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi” comics. The game’s backstory revolves around the Mandalorian Wars, a pan-galactic conflict initiated by the Mandalorian warrior society invading the Republic. Despite Jedi reluctance, two renegade Jedi Knights, Revan and Malak, lead a Republic force to war against the Mandalorians. After their victory, Revan and Malak vanish, only to return with a Sith armada, launching an invasion against the Republic. Malak, now Dark Lord of the Sith, continues his aggression, causing Jedi casualties and fracturing their order.

Pitbull reacted on Tuesday to his song’s feature in Bridgerton‘s carriage scene, which hit Netflix along with the first half of season three last week.
“This again shows the world how music is the international language that transcends over boundaries,” Mr. Worldwide wrote on Instagram beneath a clip of the scene.
Netflix’s Bridgerton has featured instrumental covers of hit pop songs since season one. Part 1 of season three included titles from BTS, Nick Jonas, Sia, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and more. In episode four, a cover of Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything” featuring Ne-Yo and Afrojack played during a carriage sex scene with stars Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan).

Pope Francis called out “conservative critics” for having a “suicidal attitude” in a new interview. The Pope defined a conservative as someone who “clings to something and does not want to see beyond that.”
“Because one thing is to take tradition into account, to consider situations from the past, but quite another is to be closed up inside a dogmatic box,” the Pope told 60 Minutes.
In the past, Francis has addressed criticism from United States religious figures, even removing some people from their titles. Bishop Joseph Strickland was removed from his post in Tyler, Texas after Strickland frequently criticized the Pope online. In August 2023, Francis said the U.S. Catholic Church holds “a very strong reactionary attitude.”
Francis’ interview with Norah O’Donnell also included conversations about Ukraine, Israel, Gaza and climate change. Francis also addressed sexual abuse in the Church and his commitment to inclusivity. In January, Francis faced...

*Warning — this review contains some spoilers for 'Boom'*
Ever since Ncuti Gatwa took over the Tardis keys to become Doctor Who’s Fifteenth Doctor, things have been pretty non-stop for everybody’s favourite Time Lord. From playing cosmic catch with Neil Patrick Harris’ Toymaker in 60th anniversary special debut ‘The Giggle’, to scat-battling a goblin king with new companion Ruby Sunday (Gibson) in Christmas outing ‘The Church On Ruby Road’, to run-ins with space babies, bogeymen, Beatles, and the celestial embodiment of music itself in 'Space Babies' and 'The Devil's Chord', there’s barely been a moment for the Doctor — or indeed the show’s viewers — to take a breath. All of that changes with ‘Boom’, a stripped back, slowed down, and cheek-clenchingly suspenseful character study from former Who showrunner — and Weeping Angels creator — Steven Moffat.

Welcome to It’s a Hit! In this series, IndieWire speaks to creators and showrunners behind a few of our favorite television programs about the moment they realized their show was breaking big.
“It did feel like the Avengers assembling,” said executive producer Sam Rees-Jones of casting the first all-celebrity edition of “The Traitors” on Peacock. “We knew in Season 2 we wanted to assemble an all celebrity cast knowing that that would create a buzz as well, and would help build on the success of Season 1,” said executive producer Mike Cotton.
The pair, based in the United Kingdom, told IndieWire over Zoom that another key change for the second season of the reality competition series where “faithful” contestants try to weed out who among them are traitors before the latter steal all the money they earned from completing missions was changing the way in which the episodes were rolled out.

The legacy of Marvel is embedded in the arc of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans as Iron Man and Captain America respectively and no one cares less about their impact than Christian Bale. The actor who once portrayed an iconic DC character himself – came out the other end branded as a legend who never knew where to start when it came to Marvel.

As an official entrant into the Marvel universe, it is time to throw Bale under the microscope and study the indifference with which he handled an era of Cbm icons that had such a hold over the entire world for 11 straight years.

This Doctor Who article contains spoilers.
Back in 2012, Doctor Who fans freaked out. We’d been told in advance that Clara (Jenna Coleman) would eventually replace Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) as the next companion of the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) in series 7 of the show. But fans weren’t prepared for just how soon Coleman would make her Doctor Who debut. Although she wouldn’t officially join Matt Smith in the Tardis until a few episodes later, Coleman first appeared in the series 7 premiere “Asylum of the Daleks” as a seemingly different character named Oswin, who, although she met a tragic end, encouraged the Doctor to remember her.
And now, 12 years later, it looks like Who history is repeating itself. In the absolutely wonderful Steven Moffat-penned episode, “Boom,” the Fifteenth Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) encounters a host of new allies, including a marine named Mundy. For fans of Star Wars: Andor,...

A Key Sith Phrase In The Acolyte’s second trailer, there’s either an obvious clue about the Sith Lord’s identity or a massive misdirect. When we see Manny Jacinto’s character, Qimir, he tells Mae (Amandla Stenberg) that “peace is a lie.” That particular choice of words pricked up the ears of many a Star Wars fan, who recognized it as the first line of the Code of the Sith.

Welcome to My Favorite Scene! In this series, IndieWire speaks to actors behind a few of our favorite television performances about their personal-best onscreen moment and how it came together.
In “Shōgun,” Kashigi Yabushige (Tadanobu Asano) is a man playing both sides and one side at once. The wily lord swears his allegiance to two masters: lords Ishido (Takehiro Hira) and Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), the feuding members of Japan’s council of regents. When it appears the odds favor Ishido, Yabushige sides with him. When the tide turns back to Toranaga, Yabushige is happy to let the current sweep him away. So really, when it comes down to it, the Lord of Izu is only loyal to a single person: himself.
It’s fitting then, when asked for his favorite scene in “Shōgun,” that the actor bringing Yabushige to such shifty, spirited life zeroes in on a moment that reflects his character’s self-interests.

The Spider-Verse gives, and the Spider-Verse takes away. According to Deadline, the live-action TV series "Silk: Spider Society" is dead on arrival after years of development. Earlier this week, MGM+ and Prime Video (which were set to be the streaming home for the series) announced that Nicolas Cage will be starring in his own live-action Spider-Verse spinoff, "Noir," but didn't give any updates on "Silk" a series that was set to shine a spotlight on Korean-American spider-powered hero Cindy Moon. Rights for the character are reportedly set to revert back to Sony Pictures Television, which will continue looking for a home for the show.
Deadline says the series is no more, and their sources vary when it comes to the reason "Silk" isn't moving forward. However, the show has publicly gone through some turnover since even before it was first officially greenlit in 2022. Back in 2018, "Silk" was rumored to be...

The series was based on a novel by James Clavell and the 10 episodes covered the entire book, but it may not be over for Shōgun quite just yet.
Deadline reports that FX and Hulu (the US streaming service that Shōgun is available on across the pond) is working with James Clavell’s estate to develop two more seasons of the drama. The series aired on Disney+ in the UK.

Adam McKay’s Hyperobject Industries is set to launch two new comedy podcasts, both humorously anchored in nature. Tiny Dinos premiered on May 7, with episodes dropping weekly on Tuesdays; and Walkin’ About on May 15, 2024, with episodes dropping weekly on Wednesdays. Both series will be available on major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music.
McKay says: “Connor, James and Allan are all very talented comedians, and Lord knows we all can use some laughter these days.

Tiny Dinos comes from the imagination of Connor Ratliff, whose Dead Eyes podcast became a fan favorite with many Hollywood actors and filmmakers, and collaborator James III. In Tiny Dinos, Ratliff takes improv to the...

Silk: Spider Society, the Sony Pictures series that had Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) on board as executive producers, is no longer moving forward on Prime Video.
The announcement comes just days after Amazon confirmed that the Sony-produced Spider-Man Noir show starring Nicolas Cage is officially in development. No official reason for Silk being scrapped was provided, but Deadline has heard that the decision "likely lies in the show’s tortured development history."
Apparently, the project went through at least three versions, one of which "involved a request for Angela Kang and her writing team to reconfigure the show so it is not hanging so heavily on the central character of Silk."
Former The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang was brought on to oversee Silk: Spider Society, which was marketed as "the first in an expected slate of Marvel TV series based on the Sony...

The “Silk: Spider Society” live-action series has been scrapped at Amazon.
The show was originally greenlit in November 2022 in a deal with Sony Pictures Television to develop a suite of shows based on Marvel characters that Sony controls. It was meant to debut on the MGM+ linear channel domestically before a global launch on Prime Video.
“The Walking Dead” alum Angela Kang was onboard as executive producer and showrunner, with Kang also signing a multi-year overall deal with Amazon MGM Studios in the process. Kang will continue under that deal. Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal were also executive producers on the series. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Sony will try to shop the series to other buyers.
It had been reported earlier in the year by The Ankler that Amazon had shutdown the writers’ room for “Silk,” with the writing staff released to pursue other work,...
