The Best New Movies To Stream on Max 1. Babygirl (2024)

Where to Stream: Max | Dir: Halina Reijn

Babygirl, directed by Halina Reijn, is an emotionally charged erotic thriller that delves into desire, power, and consent. The story follows Romy Mathis (Nicole Kidman), a high-powered New York CEO who seemingly has it all—professional success, a loving family,...

Apple TV+ will submit seven cast members from Disclaimer for Emmy consideration, Gold Derby has learned.

Kevin Kline as Stephen Brigstocke, a retired teacher and author, will submit in Best Limited Series/Movie Actor, while Cate Blanchett as Catherine Ravenscroft, an award-winning documentarian, will compete in Best Limited Series/Movie Actress. Both A-listers are on the hunt for their first Emmy wins.

FX's Grotesquerie begins with Niecy Nash-Betts' Det. Lois Tryon investigating several horrific murders in a small town, but viewers are soon thrown for a loop when it's revealed that the character is actually — spoiler alert! — in a coma. It's a classic TV twist that producer Ryan Murphy has become known for.

"I will probably be working with Ryan until the day they throw dirt on my face," Nash-Betts tells Gold Derby. "I love Ryan Murphy. I love him as a partner. I love him as a creator. I was so interested to see what was next, what was going on in his mind. And when I read that script — oh my gosh!"

Nash-Betts won an Emmy for another Murphy project, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, and she's soon returning to his universe in the upcoming Hulu legal series All's Fair, which will costar Kim Kardashian, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson,...

Let’s face it: Family life and being members of an elite assassination squad just don’t mix.

It’s hopefully a problem to which few readers can relate, but it afflicts the central characters of Joe Carnahan’s new action film, which quietly snuck into theaters without advance screenings. Kerry Washington and Omar Sy play Kyrah and Issac, who used to be members of the titular organization until they made the mistake of falling in love and having a baby. They’ve since gone rogue, but in a modern manner: Issac stays home and cares for their young son Ky (Jahleel Kamara, adorable), while Kyrah remains in the field to eliminate the many assassins who’ve been assigned to kill them for their transgression. As Issac explains to his son, he and Kyrah used to be bad guys, doing “God’s dirty work” around the globe before they realized...

Exclusive: Oscar-nominated actors Colman Domingo and Jeremy Strong are in discussions about making their debuts at London’s National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham, the landmark institution’s artistic director and co-chief executive has confirmed to Deadline.

“They’re the real deal, and I want them here at the National,” Rubasingham says. “I’m talking to them about what they might want to do here.”

Rubasingham, as we reported, announced her inaugural season of plays and musicals Tuesday, featuring an array of starry names with strong stage chops that include Paul Mescal (Gladiator II), Letitia Wright (Black Panther), Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown), Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) and Aidan Turner (Rivals). All have signed on to take their bows on the National’s stages.

Gladiator II’s Paul Mescal, A Complete Unknown’s Monica Barbaro, Black Panther’s Letitia Wright and Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan will be making their debuts at the National Theatre, regarded by many as Britain’s top cultural institution.

They’re among a host of star names invited to tread the Nt’s boards by Indhu Rubasingham, the organization’s new artistic director and co-chief executive.

The theatre chief also revealed that she and famed rapper and grime music genius Stormzy are developing a show that will be staged at the National at a later date.

Mescal, who by the way has been known to rap, will lead a repertory company at the National’s Lyttelton Theatre in 2027. There he will star in two plays: Tom Murphy’s A Whistle in the Dark, about a married Irishman living in the Midlands who allows his three brothers to lodge with him and his young wife.

We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. Et/ 5:00 p.m. Pt.

The State of the Race

Can only one episode win a performer an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie? That’s one of the main questions for the category this year, and one could argue both sides. With only four episodes, “Adolescence” is running the Limited Series conversation much in the same way fellow British Netflix series “Baby Reindeer” did last year.

Much of the Emmy conversation around Adolescence's acting chances has centered around Stephen Graham and Owen Cooper, as they play the two key characters in the harrowing project. However, Gold Derby is now predicting that five total performers will receive nominations this year.

The four-episode crime drama is created and written by Graham and Jack Thorne, and stars Graham as Eddie Miller, the father of Cooper's 13-year-old Jamie Miller, who is arrested for allegedly stabbing a classmate to death. Each episode is directed by Philip Barantini and filmed in a single take as viewers learn more about Jamie's crime from the viewpoints of the police, his psychiatrist, and his family.

Also expected to nab Emmy nominations for the cast are Ashley Walters as Detective Inspector Luke Bascombe, Erin Doherty as child psychologist Briony Ariston, and Christine Tremarco as Jamie's mother and Eddie's wife, Manda Miller. Cooper and Doherty are...

The State of the Race

It feels even more fair to say this year that the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series race is the most brutal acting category. “The White Lotus” Season 3 alone could fill all eight nomination slots, and there is an argument to be made that it’s deserved. Star Natasha Rothwell reprised the role she had already been...

Back in 2023, Amazon’s Citadel premiered. Since its April 28, 2023 debut, the series has one six-episode season, with a second season of the popular series on the way. But fans will know that it wasn’t just that.

Namely, the producers announced numerous spin-offs set around the world, and two of these spin-offs – Diana and Honey Bunny – have already been released by Amazon. Sadly, we have some bad news.

Namely, it has officially been confirmed that both Diana and Honey Bunny have been canceled by Amazon, while the main series is still on track.

“Citadel” spinoffs “Honey Bunny” and “Diana” have been canceled after one season each at Amazon MGM Studios.

Rather than continuing as individual series, the shows, which are based in India and Italy, respectively, will be woven into the mothership series’ upcoming second season, which will premiere in the second quarter of 2026.

Per its logline, Season 2 of “Citadel” will take place one month after the events of Season 1, following the spies underground as they’re being hunted by Manticore agents around the world. They’re pulled out of hiding to join forces with a new team of unconventional spies when Manticore’s Brazilian billionaire Paulo Braga threatens to unleash a cataclysmic piece of technology, built by Citadel’s own Bernard Orlick, into the world.

“Citadel” international spinoffs “Honey Bunny” and “Diana” will not be moving forward as individual series at Prime Video.

Instead, their storylines will be woven into the second season of mothership series “Citadel,” which is set to premiere next year. The India-set “Honey Bunny” and Italian series “Diana,” both executive produced by the Russo Brothers, followed different sects of the powerful Citadel spy agency for which the show is named.

“While these successful and widely enjoyed international chapters will not continue as individual series, Season 2 of ‘Citadel’ will be our most exhilarating yet,” Amazon MGM Studios head of television Vernon Sanders said in a statement. “With high-stakes storytelling, new additions to our amazing cast and bold, cinematic ambition, the new season will deepen the emotional journeys of Nadia, Mason and Orlick against the relentless force that is Manticore.

FX's Grotesquerie is submitting seven actors for the 2025 Emmys, including football star Travis Kelce.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end (and Taylor Swift beau) is eligible in the Best Drama Supporting Actor category for his role as Ed Laclan, a flirtatious hospital orderly who befriends Niecy Nash-Betts' Det. Lois Tryon. As the season progresses — spoiler alert! — viewers learn that Lois is actually in a coma, and that in the real world, Ed has been dating her daughter, Merritt Tryon, played by Raven Goodwin.

Kelce made his scripted series debut in the third episode, when his character lit Lois' cigarette. "You can call me Eddie," he tells her with a cheshire grin. Ed then alludes to the detective's alcoholism when he says, "Something tells me when you're done with your little ciggie break there, you're going to want to get the hell out of here. And I don't blame you.

Welcome to Tony Talk, a column in which Gold Derby contributors Sam Eckmann and David Buchanan offer Tony Awards analysis. No, your eyes do not deceive you! We are in fact discussing the 2026 Tony Awards today by way of Sunday night's Olivier Award winners in London celebrating the best of British theater.

David Buchanan: We're only three weeks away from the 2025 Tony Awards nominations, but we have to interrupt our predictions to address — believe it or not — the 2026 Tonys! Last night at the Oliviers, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Giant, and Fiddler on the Roof all tied as most-awarded productions of the night with three wins each. But let's start with Oedipus, which not only took home two trophies, but is also confirmed to transfer to Broadway this fall. How do you think its stunning cast, including last night's champ Lesley Manville, might fare stateside next year against a totally unknown Best Actress slate?...

Step aside, Demogorgons, Steve Harrington has a new dangerous threat to fight. Stranger Things star Joe Keery steps into the shoes of a self-storage employee named Teacake in the upcoming thriller film Cold Storage, to be released later this year.

Teacake and his co-worker Naomi (played by Barbarian star Georgina Campbell) are tasked with monitoring the units within the storage center, which was built in an old US military base. But as these things often go, something escapes and causes catastrophe. In this case, the escapee is a parasitic fungus that rapidly mutates along with the rising temperature within the facility, unleashing "brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors."

The low-level employees are left to fend for themselves against the anomaly alongside a grizzled bioterror operative played by Liam Neeson (Taken). If the trio doesn't prevent the virus from escaping, it could spell the end of humankind.

Cate Blanchett keeps her sunglasses on while arriving at the 2025 Olivier Awards held at The Royal Albert Hall on Sunday (April 6) in London.

The 55-year-old actress hit the stage during the show to present the award for Best Revival alongside her The Seagull co-star Tom Burke.

Fellow Marvel stars Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell, who star together in Much Ado About Nothing on the West End, also presented, handing out the trophies for Best Actress and Best Actor.

Other stars in attendance...

The 2025 Olivier Awards, held Sunday at London’s Royal Albert Hall and hosted by Beverley Knight and Billy Porter, saw big wins for actors like John Lithgow, Lesley Manville and Imelda Staunton. Receiving three awards apiece, productions of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fiddler on the Roof and Giant also swept during the evening.

The event is internationally recognized as the highest British theater honors and celebrates the foremost performances onstage, the overseas equivalent to the U.S. Tony Awards.

Additional winners included productions Oedipus, Titanique, The Years and Festen, all of which won two prizes each.

The ceremony opened with a show-stopping performance of “Luck Be a Lady” from Guys & Dolls by hosts Knight and Porter, accompanied by the House Gospel Choir. Additional performances throughout the evening included snippets from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Mj the Musical, Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 and Why Am I So Single?...

Richard Burton never got around to writing an official set of memoirs before his untimely, alcohol-hastened death in 1984, though the star’s posthumously published diaries are among the great volumes of their kind in the showbiz library: sometimes brutally candid about himself, often savagely catty about others, and reflective of a wry, wicked mind behind the boorish antics that kept him in the headlines. There’s little of that wit or mischief to be found in Marc Evans’ quiet, earnestly soft-hearted biopic “Mr. Burton,” though that discrepancy is at least partly the point.

Dramatizing the Welshman’s formative early years as an actor, from his rough working-class adolescence to the brink of celebrity in his mid-twenties, Evans’ film intends to show us an unformed boy scarcely recognizable as the imposing, burgundy-voiced lead of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “Look Back in Anger,” right down to his unfamiliar childhood name: Richie Jenkins.

Disney’s “Snow White” retained the top spot at the U.K. and Ireland box office for a second week, bringing in £2 million ($2.6 million) and pushing its total to £6.7 million ($8.7 million), according to Comscore.

Leading the newcomers was “L2: Empuraan,” the Malayalam-language action film distributed by Rft Films Ltd. The film, a sequel to 2019’s “Lucifer,” opened with $1.5 million, securing second place and marking one of the strongest regional Indian film debuts in the U.K. in recent years. Starring Mohanlal and from actor-director Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film is the second part in a planned trilogy.

Warner Bros.’ “A Working Man,” starring Jason Statham, debuted at No. 3 with $850,180.

Universal’s “Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy” slipped to fourth but continued its phenomenal run, adding $726,295 in its seventh weekend. The film has now grossed $58.9 million, making it the highest-grossing U.K. release of the year.

In fifth, Paramount’s dark comedy “Novocaine,...

The surprise departure Thursday of Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon MGM Studios, inevitably is drawing attention to one of her pet projects, global spy thriller Citadel.

Based on an idea by Salke, Citadel was probably the biggest gamble of her tenure atop Amazon MGM Studios — an ambitious, expansive and expensive multi-series, multi-country endeavor for which she brought in the Russo brothers’ Agbo.

Salke’s exit comes with Season 2 of the mothership series, starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra-Jonas, in post-production, and the first two international spinoff series, the Italian Citadel: Diana and Indian Citadel: Honey Bunny, awaiting word on their future after launching their first seasons in September and December, respectively.

The main series already has been facing immense scrutiny over its tortured development and Season 1 production history that included multiple showrunner changes, multiple cuts and reshoots that reportedly pushed the budget north of $200 million for six episodes. In light...

Citadel, the big-budget Prime Video spy series, may have run into a foe more implacable than its sworn enemy, Manticore: production difficulties. The second season of the Richard Madden-Priyanka Chopraseries has been pushed back from fall 2025 to spring 2026. Furthermore, the series' spinoffs are on pause until the flagship series can right itself. The Hollywood Reporter has the news that parent company Amazon is not pleased with what they've seen of Citadel's second season.

Citadel, the brainchild of MCU mavens Joe and Anthony Russo, was positioned as a signature series for Prime Video, and was afforded a budget to match: originally budgeted at $160 million Usd, production issues and reshoots during the filming of its first season bumped it up to $235 million. That made it the second-most expensive TV series ever made, eclipsed only by Prime Video's own Lord of the Rings offshoot, The Rings of Power. Nevertheless, the...

Citadel’s next mission has been scrubbed for now.

Season 2 of the Prime Video spy series has been delayed, according to The Hollywood Reporter, with a planned fall 2025 premiere now pushed back to spring 2026. Also, all international spinoffs of Citadel have been put on hold at least until Season 2 of the flagship series debuts, “if not indefinitely.”

A revival of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and of Oedipus, starring Mark Strong and Lesley Manville, will be part of Roundabout Theater Company’s 2025-2026 Broadway season.

Created and directed by Robert Icke, Oedipus comes to Broadway after a West End run, also starring Strong and Manville, which has been nominated for four Olivier Awards and was the highest-growing limited run in the Wyndham Theatre’s history. The play, which sets Sophocles’ Greek tragedy in modern times on election night, is set to play Studio 54 for a 14-week run starting in November.

The play is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Sue Wagner, John Johnson and Patrick Catullo, in association with Roundabout. This is the Broadway debut for Manville, who was an Oscar nominee for her role in Phantom Thread. Strong, known for his onscreen roles in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Zero Dark Thirty and more, last appeared on Broadway...

Oedipus, Robert Icke’s West End hit reimagining of the Sophocles tragedy starring Mark Strong and Lesley Manville, will transfer to Broadway this fall for a 14-week engagement as part of the Roundabout Theatre Company’s 2025-2026 season.

Produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Sue Wagner, John Johnson, and Patrick Catullo, in association with the Roundabout, Oedipus will kick off the Roundabout’s upcoming season with performances beginning in November at the theater company’s Studio 54 Broadway venue.

Reprising their roles from the sold-out London staging, Strong plays Oedipus and Manville portrays Jacosta. Strong was last seen on Broadway in the 2015 Tony Award-winning A View From the Bridge (for which he earned a Tony nomination), and Manville, an Oscar nominee for her performance in 2017’s Phantom Thread, will be making her Broadway debut.

The official synopsis: “It’s Oedipus’s Election night. The polls predict a landslide victory. Everything is about to change.

2024 was one of the strongest years for film in recent years. Films like Anora and Conclave took the world by storm. Dune: Part 2 dominated the box office earlier in the year, and Wicked took over at the end. And, for one of the first times in recent history, the Best Picture race truly looks like anybody's game.

However, for every movie that is going to be recognized at the Academy Awards, countless others deserve acclaim but won't get the chance to receive it. Here are the ten best movies of last year that narrowly missed out on being nominated for Best Picture.

In the Welsh town of Port Talbot, 1942, Richard Jenkins lives as a wayward schoolboy, caught between the pressures of his struggling family, a devastating war, and his own ambitions. However, a new opportunity arises when Richard’s natural talent for drama catches the attention of his teacher, Philip Burton.

Taking Richard under his wing, the young man thrives thanks to Philip’s strict tutelage and the guidance of kindly landlady, Ma Smith. However, as the acting world comes within Richard’s reach, the burden of his past risks holding him back forever.

¡Bombazo en el Wizarding World! De acuerdo con Deadline, John Lithgow (Cónclave), está a punto de firmar el contrato que lo convertirá en el legendario director de Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, en la serie de Harry Potter de HBO, descrita como una fiel adaptación de los libros de J.K. Rowling.

Richard Harris y Michael Gambon han sido la cara del personaje en el cine, mientras que Jude Law lo encarnó en su versión joven en Animales fantásticos. Aunque todos ellos son británicos o irlandeses y Lithgow es estadounidense, el actor ha interpretado a personajes británicos anteriormente. De hecho, ganó el más reciente de sus seis premios Emmy por su interpretación de Winston Churchill en la serie The Crown y ha interpretado a Roald Dahl sobre un escenario londinense.

The new series is one of the most ambitious projects to come to HBO and Max ever, and you can find all the details we have so far here.

One of the most popular media franchises of all time is getting a new adaptation. The “Harry Potter” novels have already been turned into a beloved movie series, but Warner Bros. Discovery wants to give them the TV treatment as well. The company is developing a “Harry Potter” television series that will air on HBO and its companion streaming service Max, and we’ll run through all the details we have about the show so far here!

Everything you need to know about the “Harry Potter” TV series

When will the ‘Harry Potter’ TV series be released?

Will the ‘Harry Potter’ TV series follow the books closely?

Who will star in the new ‘Harry Potter’ show?

Will ‘Harry Potter’ be on HBO and Max?...

Deadline reports that John Lithgow is in final negotiations to play Professor Albus Dumbledore in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series. As has become customary with any of these Harry Potter casting stories, HBO declined to comment. “We appreciate that such a high-profile series will draw a lot of rumor and speculation,” the network said in a statement. “As we make our way through pre-production, we will only confirm details as we finalize deals.“

The casting process for the series has been in full swing, with plenty of names rumoured to be up for the iconic characters. We’ve already seen a few actors eyed for the role of Dumbledore, including Mark Rylance and Mark Strong. Personally, I was rather fond of the idea of Rylance playing the character, but I guess things didn’t work out.

When it comes to legends of the big screen, few names loom larger than Richard Burton. With his rugged good looks, incomparable baritone, reputation for raising hell, and magnetic charisma, the seven-time Oscar nominated Welshman — star of Look Back In Anger, Cleopatra, Becket, Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? — sits comfortably among Hollywood's all-time greats. But before there was Burton, there was Richard Jenkins, a young boy from Port Talbot with a head full of dreams and a long, long way to go to realise them. It's this story that Marc Evans' Mr. Burton – which stars Harry Lawtey (Joker: Folie À Deux) as a pre-Hollywood Jenkins, and Toby Jones as his unlikely mentor (and eventual adoptive father) Philip Burton – is set to tell. Check out an exclusive first trailer for the film below:

Releasing in this, the year that marks Richard Burton's 100th birthday, Mr. Burton promises to tell quite the origin story.
