One of the highlights of this year’s Fantasia International Film Festival, Ava Maria Safai’s Foreigner is the story of Yasmin, an Iranian teenager transplanted to Canada who is desperate to fit in. Seduced by a blizzard of adverts and befriended by a group of girls who are as studiously self-conscious as they are critical of her, she begins to transform herself to suit her new surroundings – but might she, in doing so, be placing herself in danger? It’s a sometimes funny, sometimes creepy piece of work full of smart observations, and I was glad to have the opportunity to talk to Ava about how it came to be.

“I was born in Vancouver,” she tells me. “It's my parents who immigrated here. But I still felt that duality very strongly growing up, because I would go to school and everything would be one way.

When a California jury handed hip-hop mogul T.I. and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris an eye-popping $71.4 million award at a civil trial that pitted the couple’s pop group Omg Girlz against a line of candy-colored plastic dolls, even Tiny was blown away.

“I mean, wow. They did more than I thought they would,” she told Rolling Stone, referring to the generous jurors as she left the courthouse last September. “They blessed us more than beyond.”

Three weeks later, T.I. appeared on an Atlanta radio station and announced his retirement from live performance.

If Nadav Lapid’s fifth film Yes! didn’t exist, it would be almost impossible to think of anything like it. A provocative, intensely sensory and dryly witty study of modern-day life in Tel Aviv, it is likely the first film by an Israeli to confront the elephant in the room: the ongoing war in Gaza. At the center of the story is a jazz musician called Y, a bohemian, artsy type who is fed up with his hand-to-mouth existence and so agrees to a lucrative commission, writing an upbeat song to inspire national pride in the wake of the Hamas terror attacks that took place on October 7, 2023. But what begins as a simple matter of selling out soon becomes much darker, and Y finds himself under pressure to write a war song.

Lapid has lived in Paris for the last three and a half years, and, as an outsider now,...

Love Island UK Season 12 has not been without its fair share of scandals, plot twists, and hushed gossip. Fans were left reeling after Toni subtly yet sharply encouraged Yasmin to confront Ben. The volcanic showdown that followed is already brewing social media storms. In the most recent episode, when things were already rocky between Yasmin and Ben, this nudge from Toni did nothing but add fuel to the fire.

Toni and Ben, who were briefly coupled up at the start of the season, have had somewhat of a sour history. The two butted heads in a fallout after Sophie Lee’s unfair elimination very early on in the show. Now, in Ben and Yasmin’s trying times, Toni saw the opportunity to swoop in and share her two cents.

Barbie has a lot to answer for.

Eager to cash-in on the success of Warner Bros.' block-busting comedy, Amazon MGM Studios is developing a live-action movie revolving around the Bratz toy line, and Kim Kardashian is set to star.

The wealthy socialite and reality TV star, who is often accused of being "famous for being famous," does have a few acting credits to her name, having appeared in the likes of Tyler Perry's Temptation, Disaster Movie, and Dash Dolls. More recently, she voiced one of the characters in Paw Patrol: The Movie and played a key role in American Horror Story: Delicate.

Kardashian's character has not been confirmed, but she is believed to be playing the villain.

Kardashian revealed that she was interested in getting more serious about her acting career in a recent interview, and may even have her eye on a major superhero role.

"I’m not actively looking,...

Kim Kardashian is the focus of a different kind of headline today. According to Deadline, the famous media personality, socialite, and businesswoman is circling a role in the upcoming movie based on the Bratz doll line from Amazon MGM Studios. The outlet says Amazon MGM Studios won a fierce bidding war for the Bratz property, with Kim Kardashian and Picturestart producing. The project has Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick writing the script, with Kardashian likely playing the villain.

Erik Feig and Julia Hammer will produce for Picturestart with Kardashian, Jason and Jasmin Larian for Mga, and Mga’s Isaac Larian will executive produce. This setup will make the live-action Bratz a high-profile venture as studios rush to chase the monetary highs of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

The Bratz toy line has sold over 200 million dolls and continues to have the highest social media presence across all platforms of any toy line worldwide.

The key races for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards couldn’t be more different.

The comedy categories appear to be heading for another showdown between The Bear — once again prompting an obligatory “Is it a drama or a comedy?” debate — and Hacks, with several returning shows still in the mix while the drama fields, which Shōgun dominated last year, are wide open.

While voters can, and in many cases should, absolutely go back to prior favorites like The White Lotus, Severance and The Last of Us, the THR television critics have recommendations on some familiar and some quirky and offbeat ways to fill out ballots.

Voting for the nomination round closes on Monday, June 23, with nominations announced on Tuesday, July 15. The 2025 Emmys will air on CBS and Paramount+ on Sept. 14, with Nate Bargatze serving as host.

It’s been 3 years since K-drama Business Proposal was all the rage and took over the internet, bringing back the slapstick rom-com style that K-dramas had been known for before. The Indonesian remake isn’t really a remake; it’s a flat replica and doesn’t manage to have any of the heart that made the original got so popular. To make things worse, the controversy surrounding the lead actor not bothering to read the original manhwa or watch the series before making a bold statement about making his own “character” has sparked so much outrage that the film’s rating on IMDb is 1 star. While that’s a lesson in PR, this movie should also be a lesson in how not to remake something that is a cultural symbol. A Business Proposal tells the story of Sari, a woman who works for Bowo Foods and wants to start her own restaurant at some point.

One of the most shocking moments of “Industry” Season 3 was learning that Yasmin (Marisa Abela) abandoned her father at sea and that Harper (Myha’la) knew about it.

Flashes back to the fated boat ride were interspersed through much of the season, but the moment of Yas’s choice not to tell anyone when her dad drunkenly jumps off the boat as a joke hits hard. Harder still after previous scenes dove deeper into how bleak their father/daughter relationship had become. Abela said the emotions of the entire trip where still with Yas when she confided in Harper after.

“Yasmin did not want to be alone with this information and with this guilt,” Abela told TheWrap in a new installment of How I Did It, presented by HBO — part three for “Industry” after previous chats with Ken Leung and Harry Lawtey and Sagar Radia. “What was very useful is we...

Tel Aviv native, defector, and auteur Nadav Lapid opens his fifth feature in a catastrophic state of carouse. A filmmaker known for his employment of trademark dance sequences, Lapid is back with an equally visceral but uncharacteristically clubby groove in Yes!, a work whose sarcastically enthusiastic title points to the relentless ridicule and hometown mockery that defines it.

Raging through the night at a private house-club overflowing with Israeli elite so drunk they can’t communicate, we meet partymeister Y (Ariel Bronz). A life of the party, to put it lightly, the shitfaced thirty-something is quite literally bouncing off the walls. He’s so unhinged that no one can stop him from nearly drowning himself––not even his wife Yasmin (Efrat Dor), whose late-night effervescence holds a candle to Y’s, stopping just short of incidental suicide.

The mood gets grave as Yasmin performs post-pool-coma CPR. Then, suddenly, Y bursts back into action,...

The creators of “Industry” took to the stage at SXSW London on Thursday and, in a wide-ranging conversation about the origins and development of HBO’s hit financial drama series, discussed finding their young cast, many of whom have been catapulted to global fame thanks to the show.

“We really caught lightning in a bottle with this young cast,” noted Konrad Kay, speaking alongside his collaborator (and friend since college) Mickey Down.

Casting relatively newcomers in the likes of Marisa Abela (a recent BAFTA TV winner for her portrayal of Yasmin), Myha’la Herrold as Harper and Harry Lawtey as Robert, he said may have been “part of the price point,” but added they also wanted actors who “actually looked young, were the right age, and were people you had never seen before, because it just added a sense of realism.”

But he noted that, despite their relative inexperience, the actors...

Editor’s note: Deadline’s It Starts on the Page (Drama) features 10 standout drama series scripts in 2025 Emmy contention.

HBO’s Industry, colloquially considered a cunning younger sibling of sorts to the network’s Emmy juggernaut Succession, began as a word-of-mouth underdog that is now poised to hit the Emmys as a hot prospect with its third season. The finance drama, created by lapsed investment bankers Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, details the vertiginous rise and dizzying crash of the high-stakes trading world of the prestigious firm Pierpoint and its power-hungry upstarts.

The crop of young bankers — Harper (Myha’la), Yasmin (Marisa Abela) and Rob (Harry Lawtey) — aren’t the only lot to have raised their capital: Season 3 has upped the ante not only in its world-building but also in its awards showing, garnering a Critics Choice nomination for Best Drama Series and a first major win with Abela clinching Leading...

Hulu’s “Muslim Matchmaker” extends an invitation into a specific sphere of romantic pursuit, charting the efforts of professional matchmakers guiding Muslim Americans toward matrimony. The series, from the creative purview of Smriti Mundhra, introduces Hoda Abrahim and Yasmin Elhady, two figures who undertake the intricate task of pairing individuals.

The participants are a varied group of Muslim Americans, each endeavoring to find a partner who complements their spiritual commitments and cultural lineage within the fabric of Western society.

“Muslim Matchmaker” positions itself as an observational window onto the practices of contemporary Muslim courtship in the United States, offering a glimpse into the delicate dance of devotion and desire. The show unfolds across several American cities, each backdrop to hopeful introductions and the careful consideration of shared futures.

At the helm of these romantic endeavors are Hoda Abrahim and Yasmin Elhady, whose on-screen dynamic provides a warm,...

You’d have to look far and wide to find a film as aggressively confrontational as “Yes.”

Director Nadav Lapid wouldn’t have it any other way – staging his latest feature as a wail against his audience, his country, and above all, himself. Premiering at the tail end of Cannes’ independent and more outré Director’s Fortnight sidebar, if only because a film this incendiary might have burned up the whole Palais, “Yes” takes aim at post-Oct. 7 Israel, relaying civic dissent through primal screams.

Now living in France, the filmmaker has made national identity his chief artistic concern, wrestling with similar questions in his Berlin winner “Synonyms” and his Cannes acclaimed “Ahed’s Knee,” though never with the same ferocity he brings out here. One need hardly ask what changed in the years since Lapid last picked up a camera – a shift the filmmaker emphasizes by giving his lead character a child born on Oct.

Israeli auteur Nadav Lapid has never shied away from the violence of his homeland, directing a handful of dramas — Policeman, The Kindergarten Teacher, Synonyms and Ahed’s Knee — where characters face explosive situations both externally and within, pursued by a relentless camera targeting their every move. His movies are deeply political, but also poetic and personal, eschewing traditional storytelling for an expressionistic approach marked by bravura stylistics, inner turmoil and the occasional musical number.

If Ahed’s Knee, which came out in 2021, was already a furious cri de coeur against the powers-that-be in Israel, the director’s latest feature, Yes (Ken), takes that premise to the next level. Focusing on a young couple, Y. (Ariel Bronz) and Yasmin (Erfat Dor), who sell their bodies and souls to the highest bidders, the film is deliberately in-your-face and outrageously decadent, assaulting the senses as it blatantly depicts acts of physical and psychological self-destruction.

The acclaimed ensemble cast of HBO’s cult finance drama Industry got upgraded with Season 3 thanks to the additions of Emmy nominees Kit Harington and Sarah Goldberg in key roles. However, the show’s original cast continued to shine surprisingly and unexpectedly, including Season 3 breakout Marisa Abela.

The actress, who recently won Best Drama Actress at the BAFTA TV and Craft Awards for her performance, plays Yasmin Kara-Hanani on Industry, a nepo baby introduced in Season 1 as someone who used her privilege to move through life without consequences. However, in Season 3, the fallacy of that fortune is laid bare, and the character’s key relationships — including with her father, Charles (Adam Levy); her best friend, Harper (Myha’la); and the man she truly loves, Robert (Harry Lawtey) — are dissected across eight emotional episodes.

Ahead, Abela, who stole scenes in Steven Soderbergh’s recent thriller Black Bag opposite Oscar winner Cate Blanchett and Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender,...

HBO has revealed its Emmy Awards submissions for the breakout third season of Industry.

Gold Derby has learned the network will campaign the drama series in 21 categories, including Best Drama and multiple acting bids for its ensemble cast.

Creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay will campaign in the Best Drama Writing category for the show’s fourth episode, “White Mischief,” an hour focused on the abrasive trader Rishi (Best Drama Supporting Actor contender Sagar Radia). The duo also submitted in the directing category for the shocking finale episode, “Infinite Largesse,” which upended the series by shutting down the London trading floor and office of Pierpont, the show’s fictional financial institution.

Also on the ballot alongside Radia in the Best Drama Supporting Actor field is cast newcomer Kit Harington, who played the embattled CEO at a green energy startup and formed a relationship of convenience with Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Best Drama...

In “Wake Up,” six young activists are determined to make a point. Instead, they wind up on the receiving end of one: stabbed, speared or otherwise impaled by the psychotic security guard at the Ikea-esque House Idea store they’ve targeted for an ecoterrorism stunt.

Conceived and executed by what remains of Rkss — the Canadian filmmaking collective behind “Turbo Kid” and “Summer of 84” — the wicked English-language thriller is much bloodier (and a lot less pretentious) than Bertrand Bonello’s “Nocturama,” the 2016 art film in which a crew of militant Parisian hipsters hid out in a posh department store after planting bombs around town. There, the young anarchists spent the night ransacking the newly renovated Printemps HQ, whereas in this case, the half-dozen kids strike back at a company that pillages the rainforests to bring you unpronounceable, impossible-to-assemble Kallax shelves and Järvfjället chairs.

The Oscars are over. The Golden Globes have all been handed out. And the BAFTAs are but a swiftly fading, "Did David Tennant really sing 500 Miles with James McAvoy and Anna Kendrick?" memory now. But the BAFTA TV awards are very much still on the horizon, and as the celebration of the small screen gears up for its 11 May telecast, today we've learned who the nominees are that'll be vying for those precious golden statues. Leading the way with a solid eight nominations is Richard Gadd's Netflix stalker drama Baby Reindeer, while racy Disney+ show Rivals, Apple TV+ Slough House spies joint Slow Horses, and ITV's incendiary Mr Bates Vs The Post Office all follow close behind with an impressive six nominations each.

Among Baby Reindeer's many nods are noms for Richard Gadd in Leading Actor and Writer, Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau in Supporting Actress...

After the third season of HBO's critically acclaimed series "Industry" wrapped up at the end of September 2024, Harry Lawtey's character Robert Spearing was in a sort of bleak place. We now know that Robert — and, obviously by extension, Lawtey — won't be returning for the show's fourth season, which just recently began filming in the United Kingdom. Aside from "Industry," you may have seen Lawtey as Harvey Dent in the underwhelming 2024 sequel "Joker: Folie á Deux."

So why? In an interview with The Telegraph, "scheduling conflicts" were mentioned, but Lawtey seems at peace with it all. "Ultimately I feel like I'm in a place where I've said everything I had to say with a character, and I think both me and the writers felt mutually happy with where we left him," Lawtey said. "There was actually a stage direction after my final line, in my final scene of the show,...

The news that Harry Lawtey would not be returning for the fourth season of HBO’s “Industry” left fans of the show set in London’s ruthless world of finance feeling less than chuffed. For three seasons, Lawtey played Robert Spearing, the Pierpoint banker with working-class roots who evolves into one of the show’s most empathetic characters: a banker with a conscience.

Mickey Down, who created “Industry” with Konrad Kay, told TheWrap that scheduling conflicts and Robert’s arc reaching its natural end led to the decision for Lawtey not to reprise his role. Lawtey stars in the upcoming film “Mr. Burton,” in which he plays young Richard Burton, and as the actor noted in a recent piece in The Telegraph, he will soon shoot “The Billion Dollar Spy,” a Cold War thriller starring Russell Crowe and directed by Amma Asante. (Production on “Industry” Season 4 begins this week.)

“We love Robert as a character.

It looks like both Harry Lawtey and his decisively less put-together on-screen counterpart, Industry‘s Robert Spearing, are getting their happy endings.

The actor opened up about the decision to depart from the slow-burning hit HBO/BBC co-production in a recent interview with the U.K.’s The Telegraph, saying that it was a thematic choice as much as it was a practical one due to scheduling issues, as previously reported by Deadline.

“Ultimately I feel like I’m in a place where I’ve said everything I had to say with a character, and I think both me and the writers felt mutually happy with where we left him,” he explained.

While the star hasn’t actually watched the show, he added, “There was actually a stage direction after my final line, in my final scene of the show,...

Animal Control presents an unexpected mix of workplace antics and absurd circumstances, set against the urban backdrop of Seattle. The series situates its narrative within a hectic animal control unit, where the collision of professional duty and offbeat mishaps yields a kind of controlled pandemonium.

The premise recalls historical episodes of organized chaos—think of the industrial age’s frantic energy—where structure and unpredictability interweave. (One might call this a “comedic paradox” in motion.)

Season 3 introduces fresh narrative twists that provoke both laughter and reflection. The characters experience nuanced transformations, with each interaction hinting at deeper personal conflicts and a subtle commentary on modern societal shifts. The evolution in storytelling suggests a shift toward more introspective moments, yet retains a sharp, ironic wit that occasionally borders on dry humor.

The narrative itself serves as a microcosm of urban life’s unpredictable nature, echoing the social dynamics observed in historical...

We knew this would happen, didn’t we, Industry Fanatics?

While Pierpoint never respected Robert Spearing’s name, no one can say the same about Harry Lawtey.

He’s quite the hot commodity, and with this incredibly talented Industry cast staying booked and busy, it was inevitable that someone would exit the series ahead of the new season.

(Simon Ridgway/HBO)

Lawtey won’t check into Industry Season 4 when the series starts filming in March.

Sadly, it’s due to scheduling conflicts, which means that Lawtey, whose career has taken off since joining the series, can’t revisit his role as Robert Spearing anytime soon.

We won’t get to see if Robert’s new start-up takes off on Industry: Harry Lawtey, who plays Robert on the HBO finance drama, is leaving the cast after three seasons, TVLine has confirmed, with a source saying the exit is due to scheduling conflicts. (Our sister site Deadline first reported the news.)

Lawtey played Robert Spearing, a young investment banker working for UK bank Pierpoint, on Industry, which debuted on HBO in 2020. Robert endured a lot over his three seasons — most notably, he had his heart broken by love interest Yasmin, played by Marisa Abela, when she announced...

Harry Lawtey will not be returning to HBO’s Industry for the upcoming fourth season.

Deadline has learned that his exit from the series after three seasons is due to scheduling conflicts. It’s not entirely clear which of his upcoming roles will interfere with Industry‘s production timeline. Season 4 is set to begin filming in the UK in March.

Industry provided quite a breakout role for Lawtey as Robert Spearing, a bright-eyed and arrogant new finance grad who enters Pierpoint & Co. with all the confidence in the world, but is quickly humbled by the ruthlessness of the job.

Lawtey has become somewhat of a hot commodity over the last few years, recently appearing as Harvey Dent in Joker: Folie à Deux, so his exit is not entirely a surprise, but it might be disappointing to viewers who were hoping to see where Rob’s story was set to go next.

Max Minghella has joined Season 4 of HBO’s Industry.

He will play Whitney Halberstram, the CFO and Founder of Tender, a payment processor entering a growth phase. He joins returning cast including Myha’la, Marisa Abela, Ken Leung, Sagar Radia, Kit Harington, and Miriam Petche.

Minghella is the latest heavy hitting actor to join the series, which has become known for casting a big name each season to play a plot-defining character. In Season 3, Harington joined the cast as a wealthy tech giant, while Jay Duplass played a hedge fund manager in Season 2.

Production on Season 4, which will be eight episodes, begins in the UK in March.

So far, details about the upcoming installment are being kept largely under wraps. However, creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay told Deadline in December that they are taking inspiration from Tony Gilroy’s Michael Clayton for Season 4.

Max Minghella has been cast in “Industry” Season 4 at HBO & BBC, Variety has learned.

Minghella received an Emmy nomination for his role as Commander Nick Blaine in the critically-acclaimed Hulu series “The Handmaid’s Tale.” He also previously appeared in the popular Fox/Hulu comedy “The Mindy Project.” In film, Minghella is known for roles in projects like “The Social Network,” “Spiral,” “Babylon,” and “The Ides of March.”

As Monsters and Critics has reported, Manny is involved in a lawsuit alleging insurance fraud, and Sunny has to handle that in front of the public.

Industry creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay are taking inspiration from Tony Gilroy for the upcoming fourth season of the HBO series.

“We want to write a corporate thriller,” Down teased to an audience during a Deadline x HBO FYC event at The Times Center in New York City on Wednesday night. He said they’re looking to Gilroy’s Michael Clayton for guidance, joking that he “felt quite bad” meeting the director recently and admitting their plan, “when he directed and wrote the greatest corporate thriller of all time.”

As for whether their version will stack up, Down added: “You have to tell us in … not that long, actually, because we’re doing it very quickly this time.”

Down and Kay joined stars Myha’la, Marisa Abela, Harry Lawtey, Ken Leung and Sagar Radia following a screening of the Season 3 finale for the conversation on all things Industry.

Actress Marisa Abela has experienced growing success over the past few years, thanks in large part to her breakout role on the hit HBO series “Industry” and her acclaimed performance as Amy Winehouse in the biopic “Back to Black.” In a recent interview, Abela opened up about her experiences on both projects and where her career is headed next.

Abela plays Yasmin Kara-Hanani, a privileged yet vulnerable young banker, on “Industry.” Now in its third season, the show details the intense competition between graduates vying for slots at a top London investment bank. Abela remarked that her character and the overall scope of the show’s storytelling has expanded significantly as the series has progressed. “As [Yasmin] has gotten stronger in asserting herself, there are parts of me that have done the same,” she noted.

The actress also spent months in extensive preparation to portray the late singer Amy Winehouse in “Back to Black.

Every generation of small-screen hits has its show that catapults a wealth of young actors to stardom.

One only need think back to Skins, Channel 4’s cult mid-noughties TV series about a group of teens discovering themselves — its first season alone featuring now-Hollywood A-listers Nicholas Hoult, Daniel Kaluuya, Kaya Scodelario and Dev Patel.

Industry, from up-and-coming showrunners Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, could be deemed this decade’s version.The BBC-HBO hit has propelled actors including Myha’la, who featured in Netflix’s most-watched 2023 movie, Leave the World Behind, and Harry Lawtey, who plays Harvey Dent in Joker: Folie à Deux, into the stratosphere.

Having starred as Amy Winehouse in the StudioCanal biopic Back to Black and soon to be seen with Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender in Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag, Marisa Abela is another Industry breakout. She plays the flawed, privileged and vulnerable Yasmin Kara-Hanani in Industry,...

For the unversed, Vestergaard and Kiedis dated for a few years in the mid-2010s before the duo eventually called it quits. However, following the major age difference between them, the Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman was heavily criticized, and it doesn’t appear the consensus has changed much ever since.
