With “Sinners” now in theaters, Ryan Coogler is turning his attention back to his “X-Files” series reboot.

“I’ve been excited about that for a long time and I’m fired up to get back to it,” Coogler said during a recent interview with “Last Podcast on the Left,” confirming that that project is “immediately next” on his slate. “Some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really fucking scary.”

Coogler was first reported to be developing an “X-Files” series back in 2023, when series creator and showrunner Chris Carter confirmed that the two have had conversations...

Hayden Christensen will reprise his role of the moody teen padawan turned Sith overlord, Anakin Skywalker, for Season 2 of “Ahsoka.” The news was confirmed by the actor himself late Friday evening during Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo.

During a panel between series star Rosario Dawson, creator Dave Filoni and executive producer Jon Favreau, Christensen emerged from off-stage, joining the trio for the discussion. He waited until the last moments of the panel to announce his return to the “Star Wars” universe (via The Hollywood Reporter).

“There’s not much I can share, but Anakin will be back for season two,” Christensen said.

Christensen debuted as Anakin Skywalker in 2002’s “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” and its follow-up, “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” in 2005. He later appeared as both Skywalker and Darth Vader in the Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” He was also featured in two episodes of “Ahsoka” Season 1.

He was just supposed to be passing by, but Ronin, the former Sith Lord character who appeared in the first season of the animated anthology Star Wars: Visions, will be returning in the third season of the Lucasfilm series which debuts on Disney+ on Oct. 29 this year.

The big reveal came at the Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo, in a panel dedicated to the hit show, where Visions executive producer James Waugh confirmed that three of the most popular storylines from the first season of the show — “The Duel,” “The Village Bride” and “The Ninth Jedi” — will be continuing in the upcoming third volume of episodes.

Waugh also revealed a “bold new direction” for Visions with the introduction of the Star Wars: Visions Presents banner, which he said would be giving filmmakers a chance to tell deeper and more longform stories without the constraints of the shorter runtime of the typical Visions episodes.

“Saturday Night Live” cast member Bowen Yang is siding with Aimee Lou Wood after the “White Lotus” star took offense to her portrayal on the late-night sketch show.

In a sit down with Extra, Yang said that it was “completely valid” for Wood to react how she did to “The White Potus” sketch and that feelings can often take the back seat when comedians parody popular culture.

“However, [her reaction] to that sketch is completely valid,” Yang said. “With parody, you kind of forget the sort of human, emotional cost that it sort of extols on someone.”

A few short months ago, WWE stars Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair and Iyo Sky walked into Survivor Series as allies — but this weekend, they walk into WrestleMania as enemies. As three of the most decorated wrestlers in WWE’s Women’s Division, Belair, Sky and Ripley are no strangers to fighting for the spotlight, but this year’s road to WrestleMania has been rockier (and more personal) than ever before.

Ahead of their triple threat match for the WWE Women’s World Championship on night two of WrestleMania 41, Belair, Ripley and Sky spoke to Variety about how their longstanding friendships turned sour.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Pitt Season 1.] The Pitt has made a fan out of me. I’m not in the minority when it comes to TV viewers, as the Max hospital drama continues to draw in a larger audience each passing day since its January premiere. But I’d wager I’m among the small population of The Pitt viewers who actually avoid hospital-genre TV like the plague. So, what drew me in with this new hit? There are several factors at play, some personal and others not so much. I grew up in a family of healthcare workers, hearing their intense tales of ambulance rides and emergency room encounters, and as someone with a strong aversion to blood and all things gore, it was a combination that never quite sat right with my weak stomach and empathetic sensibilities. Growing up, I’d join my parents for episodes of Grey’s Anatomy but turned...

Yanic Truesdale had no interest in reheating his Gilmore Girls nachos when he was courted to co-star in Étoile, Amazon’s upcoming ballet dramedy that reunites the artist formerly known as Lorelai Gilmore’s No. 2, Michel, with his Gilmore bosses Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino.

“When Amy approached me and explained my Étoile character would have a female boss I was like, ‘Oh, no… ,” Truesdale recalls to TVLine. “I didn’t want us falling into the trap of playing that same kind of French character again.”

Any General Hospital fan can tell you that Genie Francis, who has played Laura Webber Collins since 1977, is the heart and soul of the show.Even casual viewers of the ABC soap opera could ascertain that fact from watching the actress’s heartfelt and dramatic performances last week. We saw Laura at her most loving with her family and friends, and her most powerful as she balanced her friendship with mobster Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her duties as mayor of Port Charles. Laura’s between a rock and a hard place thanks to political pressure that’s being put on her by Senator Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and Councilman Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) over putting the McConkey Esplanade smack in the middle of the waterfront area Sonny uses for his, ahem, “coffee import” business. There’s the added dynamic of Laura and Sonny sharing a grandson, Rocco (Finn Carr...

Tony Gilroy was barely on set for “Andor” Season 2. The series’ head writer and showrunner finished his scripts about a week before the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike began, forcing writers into a state of “radio silence.” When the strike ended and Gilroy returned to work, something amazing waited for him: 12 fully shot episodes.

“You’re always in the cutting room on a show, in a movie, and inevitably, you’re at the point where you say, ‘Man, I’d pay $50,000 if I could see my movie for the first time,'” Gilroy told IndieWire ahead of the show’s Season 2 premiere. “I got to watch all 12 episodes on the run with the freshest eyes I could ever imagine, and I got to watch it as the audience would see it.”

After binging the “rough, shaggy” cuts (an audience wishes — “Andor” will drop three episodes per week from April 22 through...

Nearly three years after Netflix put the brakes on an animated TV series from Meghan Markle, a British author says she and her lawyers sent letters to the duchess and her Archewell Productions company to point out possible infringement. Mel Elliott tells the Daily Mail she found “striking similarities” between the TV project, Pearl, and her own Pearl Power book series. Elliott’s Pearl Power picture books follow a little girl as she learns about equality. An animated TV show Elliott started working on in 2019 would have seen the character interacting with Billie Jean King, Maya Angelou, Amelia Earhart, Jane Goodall, Madonna, and other notable women from history. Then, in 2021, Netflix announced development of Pearl under the streamer’s multi-year deal with Markle and Prince Harry. Pearl would have been a series that follows a 12-year-old girl as she “learns to step into her power and finds inspiration from influential women throughout history,...

John Walsh and his son Callahan are looking to bust more bad guys with the help of the public through America’s Most Wanted. Fox’s true-crime staple returns for Season 28 on April 21 where the duo break down some of the country’s toughest fugitive cases alongside their accomplished team of law enforcement experts. From horrific murders to robbery rings, the hope for each investigation is to get leads in bringing these dangerous criminals to justice. Since its inception, Amw has been a longtime success having a hand in almost 1,200 captures across 45 countries and has assisted in finding more than 60 missing children. Walsh launched the series on the network in 1988 out of the nightmare of losing his own son Adam. The six-year-old was abducted from a Sears department store at a mall in Hollywood, Florida, and murdered in 1981. It took 27 years before police announced serial killer Ottis Toole as the murderer.

When Walton Goggins’ agents told him that The White Lotus creator Mike White wanted him to play the brooding Rick Hatchet in the HBO hit’s third season, the actor called wife Nadia Conners in tears. “It’s a golden ticket, but more than that, it was just the opportunity to go on a journey that comes from [White’s] imagination,” Goggins explained in a new interview with You Magazine. “Things that are interesting to him are interesting to me.” Besides, Goggins said, he’s an emotional person. “I cry with my friends,” he said. “I cry with my wife. I hold my wife. I kiss my wife. I also do a job that allows me access to what I’m feeling constantly. And I’ve been blessed to do that for a really long time.” Production on The White Lotus’ third season also afforded Goggins the chance to revisit Thailand, where...

I’m going to take a little break; the kids are off for the summer.” That said, the Survivor alum vows to “be on your screens again soon.” He added: “I truly feel like I’m the luckiest person in the world. I didn’t expect to be still doing it after 25 years, so never say never. You never know what’s going to happen.” Mariano is most famous as a Survivor castaway after competing in five seasons of the CBS show — Marquesas, All-Stars, Heroes vs.

I remind everyone that I did play Winston Churchill on The Crown and did just fine.” In fact, Lithgow knows he has skeptics to win over. “It’s an enormous thrill,” he said. “But I know there were plenty of people appalled that an American should be hired to play the ultimate English wizard. But I will do my best.” So far, three other actors have played the Hogwarts headmaster. Richard Harris did so...

Nicola Coughlan spoke out against J.K. Rowling and HBO’s new “Harry Potter” series after the author celebrated the U.K. Supreme Court’s ruling that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.

Former Real Housewives of Orange County star Lydia McLaughlin is mourning the death of brother Geoffrey Shyam Stirling, who died after being shot by police in Newport Beach, California, on Thursday, April 17. Stirling, a resident of nearby Laguna Niguel, was 45 years old. “My family and I are devastated by the loss of my brother,” McLaughlin tells TMZ. “We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from friends, family, and the community. We kindly ask for privacy as we mourn.” Citing law enforcement sources, TMZ reports Stirling was pulled over on the Pacific Coast Highway on Thursday night while riding a motorcycle through Newport Beach, around 50 miles south of Los Angeles. An Instagram post from the Newport Beach Police Department says that Sitrling became “uncooperative” and assaulted an officer after being pulled over for a traffic violation. “During the ensuing violent altercation, Stirling managed to remove the department-issued taser...

We gotta do something really dramatic — and someone’s going to die.’ And then there’s a pause, of course. And I said, ‘Is it … Athena? Is it me?!’” Then Bassett guessed the doomed character would be Aisha Hinds’ Hen Wilson and Kenneth Choi’s Chimney Han before finally realizing who it would be. “...

That’s what’s immediately next,” Coogler said. “I’ve been excited about that for a long time, and I’m fired up to get back to it. Some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really f***ing scary.” When the podcast hosts asked about Anderson’s possible involvement, Coogler said, “I’ve spoken to the great Gillian Anderson.

Rejoice! On Sunday, April 20, 2025, you have multiple ways to fully mark the Easter holiday with some of history’s greatest epic films. TCM gets an early start with director William Wyler‘s Best Picture–winning religious saga Ben-Hur (1959). Starring Charlton Heston in the title role, which scored him the Best Actor Oscar, the story follows a freed Roman slave who becomes a chariot racer, meets Jesus, and converts to Christianity. The movie won a whopping 11 of the 12 Oscars for which it was nominated (a feat only later matched by 1997’s Titanic and 2003’s The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King). But perhaps most impressive is its iconic chariot race, which ranks as one of the greatest action sequences ever filmed. TCM continues with more religious historical epics: 1954 drama The Silver Chalice (noon/11am c), led by Virginia Mayo and Paul Newman in his film debut; 1961’s Barabbas...

He posed the question, “How does the normal distribution generator work?” With a smaller version of the game, Hayes demonstrated that the beads start at the bottom. “But, as they flow through the top, they hit little pins as they fall down,” he said. “So, they have to juggle between all of the different pins.

One of the pleasures of Tony Gilroy’s “Andor” is how standalone it feels within the “Star Wars” universe. It is a rare prequel that manages to make you afraid for characters you know damn well survive until the end — of the series, anyway — and employs a distinct, sophisticated tone that uncovers wholly new facets of its galaxy far, far away. It is inherently “Star Wars,” but also unlike anything in the franchise.

Except that last part is not entirely true. Because there is another “Star Wars” title that covers much of the same ground in a way that is in constant conversation with “Andor” — a show that gave us our first look at the birth of the Rebel Alliance, that portrayed infighting between nascent rebel cells, the rivalry between Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker) and Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly), and much more.

That show is “Star Wars Rebels,” and it...

Amazon has canceled the comedy series “Clean Slate” after one season, Variety has confirmed.

The show originally debuted on Prime Video in February. It starred Laverne Cox, George Wallace, Jay Wilkison, D.K. Uzoukwu, Telma Hopkins, Philip Garcia, and Norah Murphy. It bears the distinction of being the last completed series produced by the legendary Norman Lear before his death in 2023.
