David Lowery has a new film in the works with Tilda Swinton set to star.

“Death in Her Hands” — described as an “anarchic whodunnit” and “an otherworldly psychological thriller” — is adapted by Lowery from the cult novel by Ottessa Moshfegh (“My Year of Rest and Relaxation”).

See-Saw Films, the Oscar-winning powerhouse behind “The Power of the Dog,” “The King’s Speech” and “One Life”, is on board to produce.

in “Death in Her Hands,” while walking in the woods near her new home, recent widow Vesta Gul (Swinton) comes across a chilling handwritten note: “Her name was Magda. Nobody will ever know who killed her. It wasn’t me. Here is her dead body.” Except there is no body. No blood. Unmoored by the death of her husband and armed only with a camera, her dog Charlie, and her vivid imagination, Gul becomes obsessed with uncovering Magda’s identity and fate.

At the Berlin Film Festival in February, Tilda Swinton said she was looking forward to a long break from acting during which she would open a new chapter in her life in career beyond the big screen. But she’s not quite ready to bow out just yet.

Swinton is set to star in an adaptation of Ottessa Moshfegh’s cult novel Death in Her Hands for David Lowery. The auteur will write and direct the film for See-Saw Films and a team of producers that includes Iain Canning, Emile Sherman and Jeanie Igoe with executive producers Simon Gillis and Ann Phillips.

Published by Penguin Press on June 23, 2020, Death in Her Hands is described per today’s release as “an anarchic whodunnit, an otherworldly psychological thriller and a striking portrait of a woman striving to take control of her own story.” Swinton will portray Vesta Gul, a recently widowed woman...

It's not uncommon for Netflix to cancel one of its original series that has a lot of promise and fun support, but the cancellation of Noah Centineo's spy comedy-thriller The Recruit earlier this year hit particularly hard. The series was canceled after only two seasons and left behind plenty of potential for a third season that's no longer on the table to happen on Netflix.

When the series was canceled in March 2025, creator Noah Hawley expressed his thoughts about the cancellation. He shared his hope that there could be a potential wrap-up movie to tie up any loose ends in Owen Hendricks' story. Well, Hawley just spoke with Deadline and dropped an update about The Recruit potentially returning for said movie, and it's not the update we hoped for.

Speaking with Deadline following the season 7 finale of his hit ABC show The Rookie, Hawley admitted that "it's still early...

It’s been several years since I graduated from college, so I’m unqualified to say with certainty whether or not it’s a regular occurrence for today’s savvy students to bond over their love of Ashlee Simpson, whose last album came out before some of them were born.

This unexpected celebration of the “Pieces of Me” auteur is one of several moments in Benito Skinner’s new Amazon comedy Overcompensating that feel not exactly “wrong,” but more appropriate for juvenile millennials than Zoomers. Almost every pop culture reference in Overcompensating, including extended nods to Twilight, Glee and the reappropriated Megan Fox classic Jennifer’s Body, comes across, at best, as a thing that the main characters might have discovered from their much older siblings. Or parents.

It all fits because the cast of Overcompensating projects, top to bottom, as several years older than the characters they’re playing, a...

One of the most surprising box office hits is coming to the biggest streamer in the world soon. Every year, a few movies fly under the radar until their release before exploding at the box office and earning well over their budgets. In 2024, one of the biggest examples of this was The Wild Robot, which earned over $330 million globally and extended its legs for months in theaters. Once The Wild Robot wrapped up its theatrical run, it began streaming on Peacock, the home for all of Universal Pictures' new movies. However, Netflix has announced that The Wild Robot will begin streaming on the platform next Saturday, May 24. The animated film stars Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) and earned nearly flawless scores of 96% from critics and 98% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Wild Robot follows Roz, an intelligent robot who is stranded on an uninhabited island after a shipwreck. To survive,...

Big feelings, funny moments, and a few love triangles — these shows have it all.

Netflix has always been a spot for love stories — but when it comes to rom-com TV shows, they really know what they’re doing. It’s not just the swoon-worthy moments or the slow-burn romances. It’s the mix of smart writing, funny characters, and great premises (like a rabbi and an atheist who fall in love). Some shows lean into the awkwardness of dating, others go full fairytale, but they all bring something fun to the table. Whether you’re into teen crushes, chaotic love triangles, or adults just trying to figure it out, there’s something in the lineup that’ll hit. So, here are my top seven rom-com TV shows to stream on Netflix right now.

Top 7 rom-com TV shows streaming on Netflix right now:

No. 7: ‘Heartstopper’

No. 6: ‘Master of None’

No.

Hosted by The Traitors star Alan Cumming, who appeared on the BAFTA TV Awards red carpet on singer-songwriter Jessie J’s arm, the 2025 ceremony — which took place in sparkling spring sunshine on the banks of the River Thames at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday — featured an array of television, film, musical and theatrical stars in attendance.

Notable guests (and winners) included Marisa Abela, who received Best Leading Actress for HBO/BBC series Industry, and Baby Reindeer star Jessica Gunning, who capped off a likely historic TV awards sweep as she clinched the Best Supporting Actress category.

While the prizes of the night were fairly evenly shared, ITV’s Mr Bates vs The Post Office swept the evening — an unsurprising feat given how it dominated U.K. ratings last year and fueled a national conversation about the gross miscarriage of justice in which hundreds of innocent British postmasters were convicted of theft,...

Despite what anyone who has watched an interview with him might believe, Agatha All Along star Joe Locke doesn't think comedy comes naturally to him. "I think I'm quite a funny person when I want to be," he tells Gold Derby, "but I find acting comedy the hardest part for me." You'd never be able to tell watching him share scenes with Kathryn Hahn's hilarious Agatha Harkness on the Disney+ series about the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s charismatic witch. Locke's portrayal of "Teen," and then, eventually, Billy Maximoff, is sweet, layered, and a perfect addition to the onscreen coven made up of his costars Hahn, Patti LuPone (Lilia Calderu), Sasheer Zamata (Jennifer Kale), Ali Ahn (Alice Wu-Gulliver), and Debra Jo Rupp (Sharon Davis). As the youngest cast member in a show populated with legendary performers, he more than holds his own.

Before becoming the co-ceo of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran, James Gunn had a history with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The filmmaker directed the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy before making his way over to the Dcu.

The Guardians of the Galaxy franchise features many actors throughout its three films, and one of them might be heading over to the Dcu. Per Emmanuel Devon Newsom from Gunnverse,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 actor Will Poulter is reportedly in talks to play Adam Strange - a character that hasn't been teased before. The character is expected to make his debut in the upcoming Dcu series Lanterns.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was Gunn's final MCU project, and several actors from the franchise showed their interest in joining him at the Dcu, including Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista.

Will Poulter and Kit Connor are starring in another movie together!

The 32-year-old actor and the 21-year-old Heartstopper star have been cast in the upcoming Rapture, a medieval zombie horror film, according to Deadline.

Also among the cast is Elite star Manu Rios.

The movie is “set in Medieval England in the year 1348, the story alights on Lansley Abbey, a remote stone monastery in Yorkshire, which houses ten monks bound by a life of strict routine and devotion. Their fragile peace is disrupted by the arrival of a messenger – a man with haunting news from the outside world who rapidly shows symptoms of a mystery illness. A virulent plague is spreading through the land: marked initially by a hemorrhagic fever, it turns its victims into ‘revenants’ — restless, undead beings. As the contagion closes in, Lansley Abbey becomes a battleground: desperate outsiders beg for refuge...

Whoever thought we’d be talking about watching police storm into a house to arrest 13-year-olds becoming a familiar trope…what? For those who are familiar, that’s how you could describe the opening sequence of the hit Netflix series Adolescence. However, now I have the (dis)honor to say I’ve seen two shows that open the same way, though one is far better than the other, and I’m going to let you guess. Imagine, at 13, finding yourself in juvenile detention because your mom called the cops on you, and then growing up to become a stand-up comedian, writing material based on your trauma? That’s the basic premise of Bad Boy, a new Hebrew-language show on Netflix that has apparently won a whole lot of awards. Despite having watched it without any biases, I can’t help but admit that I found the show massively underwhelming and absolutely incoherent.

A medieval monastery, a zombie outbreak, and three rising stars, Rapture is gearing up to terrify audiences with a fresh take on horror. This thrilling new horror film will shake up the genre with its unique take on fear. Brought to life through the collaborative efforts of Elevation Pictures, 2 Am, and Brookstreet, this Canadian-uk production generates buzz, especially with HanWay Films on board to launch sales at Cannes.

Leading the way are rising stars Will Poulter, Kit Connor, and Manu Ríos, each bringing their own flair to this gripping tale. Audiences can look forward to a seamless blend of historical authenticity and bone-chilling scares that promise to keep them on the edge of their seats.

HanWay Films has unveiled the cast for its upcoming zombie horror movie Rapture. Appearing alongside Heartstopper star Kit Connor and Elite actor Manu Ríos will be Will Poulter, who joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2023 as cosmic hero Adam Warlock.

According to Deadline, the three actors will topline Rapture, which will take place in Medieval England in the year 1348. Per the synopsis, "the story alights on Lansley Abbey, a remote stone monastery in Yorkshire, which houses ten monks bound by a life of strict routine and devotion. Their fragile peace is disrupted by the arrival of a messenger – a man with haunting news from the outside world who rapidly shows symptoms of a mystery illness.

Zombie lovers, we've got some good news for you! A new zombie horror flick is currently in the works, and it's a little different than your typical outbreak story. This one's set in a medieval world where a secluded monastery becomes ground zero for a terrifying plague. And you won't believe who’s leading the charge!

The movie's titled Rapture, which in itself hints at a dark twist on the apocalypse. Elevation Pictures, 2Am, and Brookstreet Pictures are all behind this new zombie project as producers. Elevation Pictures is known for previously being behind the sci-fi horror Infinity Pool, while 2Am produced the horror flicks Bodies Bodies Bodies and The Front Room. On the other hand, Brookstreet Pictures is best known for producing A24's epic period drama The Brutalist.

Netflix's hit queer teen romance series Heartstopper will end with a feature film. After months of anticipation for a fourth season, viewers learned that Netflix had opted to end the story with a movie instead of a full eight-episode season. "I totally understand if fans are a little apprehensive. It’s a big change from what we know," creator Alice Oseman admitted to Tudum while discussing the final chapter in Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie's (Joe Locke) story on the small screen. "It’s something totally new and unknown, and yes, the runtime will be less than a TV season. Even I needed some time to process and come to terms with the change," they admitted. However, Oseman saw what the movie could achieve and was excited to get into it. They talked about that, saying:

The hunt for the next James Bond rages on, and a new favorite has now emerged. Alongside the likes of The Gentlemen star Theo James, former Superman Henry Cavill, Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden, and Kraven the Hunter star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Enola Holmes and Pistol star Louis Partridge has seen his odds improve, as the action franchise potentially skews towards a younger 007 in its highly anticipated reboot.

Best known for roles in Netflix’s Enola Holmes franchise, in which he stars as Viscount Tewkesbury and will return for the now filming Enola Holmes 3, and for portraying punk rock icon Sid Vicious in the TV series Pistol, Louis Partridge, aged just 21, is now on odds of 11/2, according to Paddy Power.

Not only do his age, experience, and lesser-known profile work to his advantage, Partridge has in fact played a younger version of another firm James Bond favorite, Henry Cavill, with...

Heartstopper has been on the minds of fans since the beloved series' third season premiered on Netflix. If we're being totally honest, the show has been on all our minds since it first premiered on the streaming service back in 2022, but there is no denying that there has been a lot of discussion around it in recent weeks and months.

The critically-acclaimed third season debuted in October and it very quickly made itself at home in Netflix's weekly Top 10. However, the streamer had yet to announce whether it would return for a fourth season, leaving it in limbo for months. That's a position that the show has never been in before as it was promptly renewed for two more seasons after the debut of its first season.

Six months after season 3's arrival, Netflix has finally confirmed what the future looks like for the show.

Prepare to say “hi” to Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) and Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) one last time. Fan-favorite romance Heartstopperwill conclude with an upcoming Heartstopper feature film. The film will star Connor and Locke (who will also serve as executive producers), and is written by Heartstopper creator, executive producer, and graphic novelist Alice Oseman. “I’m so excited to embark on this journey together now that it’s no longer a secret!” the writer tells Tudum.

The movie picks up after the swoony Season 3 finale, which saw Nick, Charlie, and many of their friends take their relationships to a new level. Although the Heartstopperteam will begin production this summer, Oseman confirms they’ve been working on the script for months.

"The movie will be an exploration of time, memory, love, pain, the changing of the seasons, endings and beginnings, and the core element of Heartstopper: the ordinary magic of our everyday lives,...

What Is The Future Of Joe’s Son In You Season 5? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Joe Goldberg might’ve thought he could outrun his murderous past, but karma’s got a pretty good memory, and maybe, just maybe, it runs in the family. You Season 5 dropped a major bomb when it showed us that little Henry, who once seemed like the innocent bright spot in Joe’s bloody soap opera, is now back under Joe and Kate’s (questionable) care. But parenting isn’t exactly a fairy tale when killer instincts are lingering in the gene pool.

As the new season peels back the layers, Henry starts showing some concerning traits that have everyone side-eyeing him like he’s about to write his own version of Crime and Punishment. Is he just a traumatized kid caught in a whirlwind of chaos, or is nature pulling a dark trick on the next Goldberg generation?...

In a world where spoilers travel faster than dragons, Game of Thrones wasn’t about to let its fiery finale be ruined by the dreaded leak. HBO took extreme measures to keep fans on their toes and the plot twists under wraps, filming 15 Hours of unused alternate endings for Season 8. Yes, you read that right, 15 hours! With so many twists and turns in the final season, producers knew the internet would be hunting for any scraps of information. So, what did they do?

They filmed multiple versions of key scenes, including fake deaths, plot reversals, and even alternate character fates, all to throw off the spoiler-hungry masses. Kit Harington (aka Jon Snow) admitted to filming more than his fair share of these red herrings, ensuring that nothing would leak without confusing everyone. It’s like a Game of Thrones...

Netflix’s Heartstopper is all set to get a movie and it’s got us all buzzing with excitement (and maybe a few tears). After season 3 left Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie (Joe Locke) in a much stronger place, with the looming possibility of university moving Nick away, there was plenty of heart-wrenching potential for a season 4. However, with Alice Osman’s graphic novel reaching its conclusion, there wasn’t much more to adapt, leaving fans wondering what was next.

Well, Netflix has confirmed that instead of another season, Heartstopper will wrap up with a film that promises to give the characters, and us, the send-off they deserve. So, no more waiting for Heartstopper season 4, grab your tissues and prepare for an epic, emotional finale on the big screen!

¿Listos para decir adiós a Nick y a Charlie? © Netflix

Netflix ha anunciado que la historia de Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) y Charlie Spring (Joe Locke), el romance Lgtb que ha enamorado a toda una generación, llegará a su fin con una película en lugar de una cuarta temporada como todos pensábamos. Dicho anuncio ha coincidido con el tercer aniversario del estreno de Heartstopper, que debutó en la plataforma de streaming el 22 de abril de 2022.

El largometraje, que comenzará su rodaje este verano, estará nuevamente escrito por Alice Oseman, creadora, productora ejecutiva y autora de las novelas gráficas. Concretamente, la cinta adaptará el sexto y último volumen–aún en proceso de escritura– y la novela corta Nick and Charlie. Para contextualizar: la primera temporada adaptó los volúmenes 1 y 2, la segunda el volumen 3, y la tercera temporada los volúmenes 4 y 5.

After three series of Heartstopper, Netflix is set to bring Joe Locke and Kit Connor back for a feature film. More on the news below.

Heartstopper, Netflix’s popular and acclaimed drama series about two teenage boys falling in love, is set to return to our screens once more, this time in the form of a feature film.

Netflix began adapting Alice Oseman’s graphic novels into a series back in 2022. Three seasons were released, with the latest one debuting in October 2024. Starring Joe Locke and Kit Conor – who is currently starring in Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland’s Warfare – the series has been well received by audiences and critics alike, but its future has seemed uncertain until now.

Netflix announced the new feature film, to be directed by Wash Westmoreland, on X (or Twitter if you’d prefer) on 22nd April. The film will be based on Oseman’s...

A ‘Heartstopper’ movie, our final chapter based on Alice Oseman’s upcoming volume six, is coming!!!”Kit Connor and Joe Locke will return as Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring respectively, and also serve as executive producers, while 'Heartstopper' creator Alice Oseman has written the script for 'Still Alice' helmer Wash Westmoreland to direct from.Alice said in a statement: “I am completely overjoyed that we will get to tell the end of the ‘Heartstopper’ story.“I’m so grateful to everyone who has worked hard to make this possible and to the incredible fans of Heartstopper for your patience and passion.

Netflix premiered one of the most popular coming-of-age series in 2022. Heartstopper has received critical acclaim throughout its three seasons for its tone and portrayal of the LGBTQ community. Fans of the popular romantic comedy-drama were hoping for a fourth season to conclude Nick and Charlie's story properly, but the streaming service has decided to do a feature film finale instead. A love as cinematic as the characters deserves a proper ending. Since the series stood firm in the top ten most-watched on Netflix, it's safe to say that the streaming service will ensure the moviestays in the hearts of many viewers.

According to Deadline, Netflix has greenlit the film in the most heartfelt way possible. The movie was announced on Heartstopper's third anniversary of its Apr. 22, 2022, premiere. Joe Locke and Kit Connor will continue to star as their leading characters and also executive produce. It will serve as the series finale,...

Heartstopper is special. If you haven't seen it but want to, you are in luck. There are three seasons, and all of them are on Netflix. You should feel free to check on them whenever you want. Again, you should.

The series explores LGBTQ themes, but like any elite show, does not limit itself to any one thing. The series is about relationships and how characters evolve. There is a lot of drama and a good amount of laughs, but the series never demeans anyone. It is about inclusion, as we all should be.

Here's fantastic news if you're a fan of the show. There isn't a new season forthcoming (at least not yet), but a movie is coming, according to Netflix. That will begin filming this summer, and hopefully be ready for release in 2026 (don't quote us on that; it's more of a hope).

Netflix has today (on the third anniversary of the launch of season one) announced that a Heartstopper movie will wrap up the fan-favorite series.

Alice Oseman launched the original Heartstopper webcomic/graphic novel series back in 2016 and since then, it has become one of the foremost young adult series, especially when the LGBTQ+ community is concerned.

The series has become very popular and has been praised for its approach to various complex coming-of-age issues, as well as the representation of the LGBTQ+ community and its struggles.

In 2022, Netflix debuted the live-action adaptation of the original series starring Kit Connor and Joe Locke. The series has 24 episodes and three seasons, and it has just been confirmed that a movie is on the way as well.

More information was provided in an article on Netflix’s Tudum, confirming that the movie will see Kit Connor and Joe Locke return as Nick and Charlie in addition to serving as executive producers. “Heartstopper” creator Oseman has penned the script with “Still Alice” helmer Wash Westmoreland directing, and filming is set to begin this summer.

There is finally news for Heartstopper fans who have been patiently waiting to learn the fate of their show for more than six months. It may not be exactly what they were hoping for (Season 4), but it’s good news nevertheless: more Heartstopper is on the way, and Nick and Charlie’s story will get a proper ending.

Netflix has greenlighted a Heartstopper movie, starring and executive produced by the series’ leads Joe Locke and Kit Connor and directed by Wash Westmoreland, which will serve as a series finale. The announcement was made on the third anniversary of Heartstopper‘s April 22, 2022 premiere.

Heartstopper creator Alice Oseman, on whose graphic books the coming-of-age romantic series was based, is back as writer of the feature film, which will draw from the upcoming sixth and final volume of the graphic novel as well as the Nick and Charlie novella.

There is no publish date yet for Vol. 6, which is still being written. Oseman has indicated that ideally, the last book would drop ahead of the TV series’ conclusion.

In the Heartstopper finale, Nick (Connor) and Charlie (Locke) are inseparable, but with Nick preparing to leave for university and Charlie finding new independence at school, the reality of a long-distance relationship begins to weigh on them. Doubts take hold, and their relationship faces its biggest challenge yet. Meanwhile, their friends are also navigating the ups and downs of love and friendship, confronting the bittersweet challenges of growing up and moving on. Can first loves really last forever?

Westmoreland, who has an extensive feature background, succeeds Euros Lyn, who directed the first two seasons of Heartstopper, and Andy Newbery, who helmed Season 3.

Locke and Connor join the executive producer ranks of the movie alongside Oseman, Lyn, Patrick Walters, Iain Canning and Emile Sherman who all served as executive producers on the first three seasons. See-Saw Films is back as production company. Filming is slated to begin in summer 2025.

“I am completely overjoyed that we will get to tell the end of the Heartstopper story,” Oseman said. “I’m so grateful to everyone who has worked hard to make this possible and to the incredible fans of Heartstopper for your patience and passion. I cannot wait to bring this story to a magical conclusion.”

While rare, a movie series finale is not unprecedented – in 2017, Netflix commissioned a Sense8 film following backlash from fans when the streamer canceled the Wachowskis’ sci-fi drama after two seasons on a cliffhanger. Other shows given a movie conclusion by their networks include Timeless (NBC), CSI (CBS) and Deadwood (HBO).

Like most of them, Heartstopper found itself on the bubble after its third season drew 10.9 million views from its October 3 release until the end of 2024, down about 30% from the views Season 2 had garnered over the same period. Season 3 spent two weeks in Netflix’s global Top 10, peaking at No. 4, vs. three weeks each for Seasons 1 and 2, the latter peaking at No. 2.

Still, over the last six months of 2024, the first two seasons of Heartstopper added combined 8.8M views, showing continuing interest in the title on the platform.

What’s more, Season 3 was as well reviewed as the previous ones, nabbing another 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and continued to keep the series culturally relevant by tackling important issues, in this case mental health.

Most of all, it was Heartstopper‘s outsized impact across TV, social media, music and books and its legacy of LGBTQ+ representation that made the case for the show to get a proper ending even if the Season 3 viewership did not quite support a full-blown fourth and final season.

The movie greenlight follows tireless efforts by the series’ creative team.

“I’m working very hard behind the scenes to get us a renewal for Heartstopper… there are so many people behind the scenes who are working really hard to make it happen,” Oseman said in February. “We’re feeling optimistic, we’re feeling hopeful.”

A month later, Walters said that “there are lots of moving parts” on a potential renewal and “we are working hard on it.”

One of the many moving parts was likely making new deals with Connor and Locke, who reportedly no longer had options. Little known when they were cast in Heartstopper, the duo are now in-demand actors with busy schedules coming off starring roles in the movie Warfare (Connor) and Disney+’s Agatha All Along (Locke).

But, just like the cast of Euphoria recently reassembled for a final season, Connor and Locke had been willing to return to the series that made them stars.

“I’d definitely like to do it as long as it’s done right,” Connor recently said. “I just want to make sure that we keep the heart in it. So, we are working on something, and hopefully we’re making it happen.”
