A new rumor seemingly indicates that an animated Kingdom Hearts film will be released by Disney in 2026, but is it real?

No.

The rumor is coming from yet another satirical post from Yoda Bby Aby on Facebook.

In the fake “write-up” they say,

“Join Sora (Haley Joel Osment), Donald Duck, and Goofy in Kingdom Hearts, an epic animated adventure hitting cinemas in June 2026! Wield the Keyblade to battle the Heartless and save iconic Disney worlds from darkness in a thrilling quest of friendship and destiny. Experience the magic of this beloved game brought to life on the big screen!”

If you ever see these post from Yoda Bby Aby know they are a satire site and they say as much in their official write-up,

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers for Season 2 Part 1 of “Wednesday.”

“Wednesday” is back, and this time, so is the Addams family.

In Season 2 of the hit Netflix series, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) returns to Nevermore Academy flanked by her relatives: her younger brother, Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), who is now a fellow student, and her parents, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán), as Morticia has accepted a fundraising job on campus. But it’s not a happy reunion: Having her family around is a major source of irritation for Wednesday, especially because of the protections Morticia has tried to impose over her use of her psychic powers.

At the end of Season 1, Wednesday was beginning to come into her own as a psychic thanks to the connection she made with one of her ancestors, Goody Addams (also played by Ortega). And by her own metric, she mastered that ability over her summer break,...

This article contains spoilers for season 2 of "Wednesday."

The second season of Netflix's "Wednesday" is a pleasant surprise. Not only does it bring back so many of the strongest elements of the successful first season — chief among them Jenna Ortega's superlative performance as Wednesday Addams — it also jettisons the aspects about that season that weren't working, replacing them instead with more delightfully tried and true elements. The series is now much more of an "Addams Family" show, with the entire clan more present. It also allows director Tim Burton to infuse more of his signature touches on the series, including a neat stop-motion animation sequence and a perfect blend of humor and horror.

Another noticeable change to the show is how it shifts focus a little bit more toward an episodic rather than serialized structure. Where the first season was written and paced in a similar fashion to...

Spoilers follow.

Let a severed hand run in any direction in "Wednesday" and the chances are that it'll find a cast member that's an icon in their own right, particularly in the second season of Netflix's adored "Addams Family" spin-off. Not only are the likes of Luis Guzman and Catherine Zeta-Jones joining the fold once more as Gomez and Morticia Addams, there's also the likes of Steve Buscemi and Christopher Lloyd keeping school in session, too. Within the first few minutes of Wednesday's (Jenna Ortega) latest adventure, though, we get an appearance from an Oscar-nominated star, who is turning in a killer performance.

Proving that there's never a dull day for Wednesday, Nevermore Academy's model student has spent her summer vacation putting her psychic powers to use and trying to track down a notorious serial killer known as The Kansas City Scalper. Hidden under matted hair and looking like...

Wednesday Season 2 is finally here, and Netflix has made sure the Addams Family saga is more addictive than ever. From the cast lineup to burning questions about how many episodes of Season 2 are coming—and exactly what time the new chapters drop—here’s your ultimate go-to guide.

When Is Wednesday Season 2 Coming Out? Release Date, Time, and Episode Breakdown

The much-anticipated Season 2 premiered its first four episodes on August 6, 2025, at 3 Am Et (that’s 8 Am BST in the UK and 12:30 Pm Ist for Indian fans) on Netflix. Thanks to Netflix’s new staggered release approach, Wednesday Season 2 Part 2—and the final four episodes—will become available on September 3, 2025, at the same global time slot. So if you’re Googling, “When does Wednesday 2 come out?” or “What time does Wednesday season 2 release?”—mark your calendars for those dates and times.

This season keeps it classic with eight episodes in total,...

It feels bizarre that Wednesday returns at a time when Halloween is still months away. The show that became a runaway Netflix hit — while creatively reinvigorating director Tim Burton and turning Jenna Ortega into a generational star — radiates creepy, kooky and altogether ooky vibes, spinning the Addams Family character into her own Harry Potter-for-goth-kids YA detective series with hugely fun results. But Wednesday’s return at the height of summer speaks to Netflix’s blockbuster approach for the show’s second season — much bigger and starrier, a Stranger Things-like glow-up in scope, with somewhat mixed results.

The not-so-secret weapon in Season 1 was Ortega herself — knockout casting, elevating the material with deliciously deadpan delivery. She remains excellent here, relishing every cutting line. “It’s Addams with two Ds,” she declares early on. “Like ‘padded room’.” We’re reunited with Wednesday during her idea of...

Season 2 of Wednesday debuted on Netflix on August 6 and is packed with several surprises. But the biggest surprise came from The Princess Diaries star Heather Matarazzo, who made a surprising return to the screen in the show as Judi Spannegel.

Starring as an overly cheerful yet sinister executive assistant to Dr. Rachael Fairburn (played by Thandiwe Newton) at Willow Hill psychiatric facility. However, her true character slowly starts to unfold once she crosses paths with Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams, who seemingly dislikes Judi.

Matarazzo, known for her iconic roles in Welcome to the Dollhouse and The Princess Diaries, joins other Hollywood legends like Haley Joel Osment, Christopher Lloyd, Billie Piper, and more to make appearances in the second season of the show.

Despite starting out as a child actress...

The second season of Netflix’s Wednesday is finally here, and it is actually exactly as I’d imagined. Episode 1 sees Wednesday return to Nevermore, dark as ever. Things have been quite different at the school for outcasts ever since the incidents of the previous school year. Unfortunately, Weems’ death means a new principal, but there’s also a new redhead in town replacing our villainess, Thornhill. The thing that makes this show so darn fun is not the fact that it’s about the Addams family, but that it makes Wednesday such a lovable character despite her naturally uninviting demeanor. Honestly, it’s quite meta how she’d hate how many fans she has if she were a real person. Anyway, Tim Burton is back, and from the first episode, I can already tell I’m going to enjoy the rest of the show at least. So, with that said,...

After three long years, Wednesday is finally back. Part One of Season Two drops on Aug. 6 (naturally, that’s a Wednesday), and ahead of the release, Netflix has revealed all the songs featured in Part One, exclusively with Rolling Stone.

The four episodes of Part One (just like Season One, they each have titles that play off the word “woe”) feature a variety of music genres, curated by music supervisors Jen Malone and Nicole Weisberg. There’s classic rock (Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark,” the Kinks’ “You Really...

Plot: Wednesday Addams, returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.

Review: The first season of Wednesday became a massive hit for Netflix despite a quintessentially CW-style approach to storytelling. But, armed with the unique visual style of director Tim Burton and a supporting role from The Addams Family movie star Christina Ricci, Wednesday was anchored by Jenna Ortega’s pitch-perfect take on the macabre teenage protagonist. While the story of Wednesday attending Nevermore Academy felt like a horror-tinged take on Nancy Drew, the series had its charms and easily garnered a second season. After three years of waiting, Wednesday is back with...

This post contains spoilers from Wednesday season 2 episode 1 from this point forward.

Long time no see, Wednesday Addams! It's been nearly three years since the Emmy Award-nominated Netflix original series premiered, but Wednesday season 2 has finally arrived. The first episode, aptly titled "Here We Woe Again," kicks off with Wednesday harnessing her psychic abilities with help from Goody's book and taking on a new mystery to solve. She takes it upon herself to solve the Kansas City Scalper cold case.

Somehow still making it through airport security even though she had an arsenal of weapons on her person, Wednesday makes it to Kansas City and confronts the Scalper (Haley Joel Osment). Her psychic vision gives her black tears, and Thing helps her out when the Scalper ties her up in his basement. She returns home after catching the serial killer, but it's time to head back to school at Nevermore Academy.

“I see dead people.” On August 6, 1999, The Sixth Sense hit theaters and changed movies forever. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, this quiet psychological thriller became a pop culture phenomenon, captivating audiences with its haunting story and unforgettable twist.

Directed by a then‑unknown M. Night Shyamalan, this wasn’t just another scary movie. It was a film that had people walking out of theaters in stunned silence, racing to call friends, and whispering, “You have to see it… but I can’t tell you why.”

The Sixth Sense: A Pop Culture Juggernaut

The Sixth Sense didn’t just dominate the box office — it owned 1999. It earned over $672 million worldwide (second only to The Phantom Menace that year) and snagged six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor for a then‑11‑year‑old Haley Joel Osment.

And that twist ending? It became...

Here we go (or should we say woe) again! Netflix's smash hit Wednesday is back for Season 2, promising the return of familiar faces, fresh threats, and thrilling new mysteries at Nevermore Academy. And now we're learning even more about Lady Gaga's aptly titled song, "Dance Dead," that will premiere during the sophomore season.

It's been nearly three years since Wednesday debuted in Nov. of 2022, quickly becoming Netflix's most-watched English-language series of all time. Based on the iconic character Wednesday Addams created by Charles Addams, the show was brought to life by creator/showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega starring as the unforgettable title character.

Here's everything you need to know about the second season of Wednesday.

Season 2 synopsis

Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), returns to prowl the gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await.

We all fall for nostalgia bait but when it comes from Adam Sandler in the form of Happy Gilmore 2, it becomes even more special. The sequel to the 1996 cult-classic has proven successful for Netflix, where it debuted this week to high viewership numbers. The movie has the same flavor, charm, and gripping golf tournament that made the original film so lovable. So, can we get a Happy Gilmore 3? Well, the movie’s co-writer, Tim Herlihy,has a disappointing answer to that question.

Continuing their long-term partnership, Sandler and Herlihy co-wrote Happy Gilmore 2, bringing back many lovable characters and giving a nod to their previous work. While discussing the movie in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the co-writer revealed there hasn’t been talk of a sequel, “Not between me and Adam. I can say we haven’t had one discussion about it,” he revealed. He further explained,...

Long before Nicholas Hoult gave viewers the best Lex Luthor performance of the 21st century, he was nailing his debut movie role in 1996's "Intimate Relations." The movie was about a 20-something British lodger in the 1950s who gets caught in a horrendous love triangle between a mother (played by Julie Walters) and her teenaged daughter. Although the movie is comedic, the love triangle still ends in bloodshed and tragedy, as they are wont to do. 

Hoult plays the young Bobby, a kid who's just sort of on the sidelines, enjoying the mental health benefits that come with being unproblematic. Bobby only enjoys a few mere moments of screentime, but Hoult and his distinctive eyebrows make sure to take advantage of it, as you can see above.

Hoult hasn't spoken much about this movie, mainly because he was seven at the time and the role wasn't that substantial, but he...

Happy Gilmore 2 hit Netflix last week, and although the film has been a major hit for the streamer in the viewership column, it makes some controversial decisions with the story. Easily the most talked-about plot point is the death of Virginia (Julie Bowen), which happens between films but is shown early in the sequel. Virginia died after being hit with a golf ball via an errant shot from Happy (Adam Sandler).

Sandler recently caught up with The Hollywood Reporter about the decision to kill Bowen’s Virginia. Before going into details about Happy Gilmore 2, Sandler praised Bowen’s work as a professional, “We love Julie. She’s just a great vibe and a great person. We love working with her, and we did the first one and Hubie Halloween.” Sandler then explained the decision to kill Virginia, saying, “We just knew we needed Happy to have to overcome something in this story.

Wednesday Season 2 on Netflix is nearing its premiere on August 6, 2025. The upcoming season is going to be split into two parts. The upcoming season has a brand new roster of fresh faces, but fans are going particularly gaga over one addition: Lady Gaga. Popular for her genre-bending creativity, Gaga seems like the most fitting addition to the franchise, set to appear in a guest role in Season 2 Part 2 (via Netflix).

Speaking about working with her to Variety, Tim Burton expressed:

She’s such an artist, and so for me, working with an artist is inspirational.

He also recently teased the possibility of collaborating with the actress/singer at the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy. When asked if he can confirm whether he’ll ever work with Gaga again, he replied, “No, I can’t. But I dope so”. And that gives us hope. While we wait to witness Gaga in...

Co-writer Tim Herlihy addresses the possibility of Happy Gilmore 3 following the sequel's record-breaking debut on Netflix. Co-written by Adam Sandler and Herlihy, who also co-wrote the original 1996 film, the new Netflix sequel brings back Sandler's titular failed hockey player turned professional golfer who, now a widowed alcoholic, returns to the tour to fund his daughter's ballet education abroad.

Happy Gilmore 2's cast also includes Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Ben Stiller, Dennis Dugan, and Kevin Nealon reprising their roles from the first film. New cast members include Benny Safdie, Bad Bunny, John Daly, Sunny Sandler, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Ethan Cutkosky, and Haley Joel Osment. The film also features several cameos from Eminem, Travis Kelce, Post Malone, and many more.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter after the sequel's record-breaking debut on Netflix, co-writer Tim Herlihy addressed the possibility of Happy Gilmore 3. Herlihy says that he and Adam Sandler haven't discussed a third film,...

Sandler’s Happy Gilmore 2 Dominates Netflix (Photo Credit – Netflix)

Netflix has turned Adam Sandler into one of its most reliable stars, and his latest film has pushed that even further. Happy Gilmore 2, a sequel to the 1996 classic, arrived on the platform and immediately broke records.

It reached 46.7 million views within three days and became Sandler’s biggest debut on Netflix and the largest opening weekend for any film on the service in the United States, per Tudum.

Happy Gilmore 2 makes Netflix history.

Adam Sandler rose to stardom during the 1990s with a string of hit comedies, including Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, The Wedding Singer, and Big Daddy. He remained a comedy staple throughout the 2000s with popular movies such as Mr. Deeds, 50 First Dates, The Longest Yard, Click, Grown Ups, Just Go With It, Grown Ups 2, and Blended.

Since 2015, Sandler has made movies almost exclusively for Netflix, releasing titles like The Ridiculous 6, The Do-Over, Sandy Wexler, The Week Of, Murder Mystery, Hubie Halloween, Murder Mystery 2, and You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah. Now, Sandler has a new Netflix comedy out, and it's his biggest one yet.

The two-week series will celebrate 12 Shyamalan features presented in 2-for-1 double bills with films of his own choosing.

It’s been almost 30 years since Happy Gilmore teed off, and the sequel doesn’t waste time getting into the swing of things. It’s got the laughs, the throwbacks, and just enough blink-and-you’ll-miss-it details to keep diehard fans on their toes. Adam Sandler’s back as the unfiltered golf legend, now dealing with fatherhood and a second shot at glory – still loud, still angry, still hilarious. But the real gold? It’s in the background.

Quick nods to the original, surprise cameos, inside jokes, and a few personal touches that connect straight to Sandler’s off-screen life. You probably missed a few. Most people did. Here are ten Easter eggs that flew under the radar – even for the fans who thought they knew it all.

Netflix is turning up the excitement for Wednesday Season 2 with a big fan event in Australia, and yes, Jenna Ortega will be there. The star of the hit series will appear in Sydney on August 16 alongside director Tim Burton, co-star Emma Myers, and the show’s creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.

M. Night Shyamalan’s next movie withJake Gyllenhaal recently began production, but while he’s hard at work filming the upcoming romantic thriller, fans have pushed his most maligned project back into the streaming spotlight. Shyamalan wrote and directed the 2010 critically panned adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which ditched the first part of its title and rolled with The Last Airbender. The film is currently streaming on Paramount+ in America and on Claro Video globally, where it’s one of the most popular movies in Ecuador and other countries. It earned a disastrous 5% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 30% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter, but popularity of the original Avatar animated series helped the film gross $319 million on a $150 million budget, which avoided complete financial disaster for Paramount.

Shyamalan sat down for an interview with Demand Entertainment in 2013 to talk about the extremely poor reception of The Last Airbender.

Adam Sandler's dream in Happy Gilmore 2 was to include Tiger Woods, but sadly, it didn't happen. The highly anticipated sequel to 1996's Happy Gilmore has finally been released on Netflix, catching up with Sandler's titular character in the present day. Happy Gilmore 2 highlights a star-studded cast of characters, bringing together several golf legends in special cameos, such as Scottie Scheffler, Jack Nicklaus, Rory McIlroy, and Tony Finau. However, one notable absence is the iconic Tiger Woods. 

Tiger Woods is perhaps a member of golf's Mount Rushmore, with him being widely regarded as the greatest golfer in history. His absence in Happy Gilmore 2 is clearly a missed opportunity, but there are several factors why the expert golfer didn't appear. 

Directed by Kyle Newacheck, Happy Gilmore 2 revolves around the titular golfer's road to redemption after his life took a turn due to the death of his wife,...

Haley Joel Osment, a 37-year-old actor who’s a known child artist in Hollywood, recently appeared at the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere, after a long hiatus due to a public scandal (via Parade). He plays Billy Jenkings in Adam Sandler’s epic sports comedy and is widely known for starring in amazing classic movies such as The Sixth Sense.

From his breakthrough role at a young age, followed by great supporting roles, Osment has built a remarkable career in the industry. His amazing screen presence, emotional nuance, and flexibility to act across all genres are quite underrated. So, let’s look at some of his best works where he portrays this grounded artistry.

Here, he played the role of Keenan Feldspar, a weird but brilliant VR developer, and brought laughs to the show’s already wild tech world. Even in the short arc of three episodes, he didn’t miss his comedic timing at all.

And here’s the thing: his performance elevated the show to a great level. So, if you’ve missed out on this gold, make sure to add this to your watch list. Let’s dive deeper and know more about the show and Osment’s impressive role.

At this stage in his career, when Adam Sandler goes out to a prospective star of one of his projects, he probably doesn’t hear “no” a lot; it’s probably a lot likelier that he has to give a polite pass to the prospective stars who come to him. So it’s no surprise that Happy Gilmore 2 is loaded with celebrities, to the point where secondary and tertiary roles are filled by faces you know. Bad Bunny may be one of the biggest musical acts in the world right now; that doesn’t mean he can’t show up to play Happy’s new golf caddy. Oscar nominee Haley Joel Osment shows up as a new golf rival to Happy (having presumably been cast before his recent public disgrace).

Taylor Swift is showing her support for Travis Kelce’s latest acting endeavor.

The “Fortnight” singer took to her Instagram Story to commemorate the release of Happy Gilmore 2, which the NFL player makes a cameo in as a waiter. There, she shared a photo of Adam Sandler portraying the beloved titular character and rated the film a 13/10.

“Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie!” the 14-time Grammy award winner wrote. “An absolute must watch, 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible.”

Swift included a honey emoji at the end of the post, which seemingly referenced a moment in the film where Kelce is shirtless and has honey all over himself. Her post comes a day after Kelce shared a string of photos of the couple online, notably making their relationship Instagram official.

The long-awaited sequel to the 1996 comedy debuted on Netflix on Friday,...

Considering past misbegotten sequels to Adam Sandler movies like Grown Ups 2 and Murder Mystery 2, I am not quite sure why it took the star three long decades to fire up one for arguably his best comedy and most memorable character, 1996’s Happy Gilmore. He even named his production company after it for chrissakes. But now fans who have waited a very long time for a second round with the angry but always watchable movie golf icon get a sweet payoff with Happy Gilmore 2.

Considering the mostly upbeat results here I am surprised Netflix held back critics until just a handful of hours before the film started streaming at midnight. There are more than enough Lol moments and multitudes of big-name cameos, as well as devotion to the original and exactly what fans of both the first movie — as well as golf itself — will eat up. With the world a mess right now,...

With Friday’s streaming launch of Adam Sandler’s comedy sequel Happy Gilmore 2, Netflix has made sure to tap the movie into the public consciousness.

Ever since Netflix confirmed last year that it was making a sequel to Adam Sandler’s popular 1996 movie, Happy Gilmore, fans have been eagerly awaiting the follow-up. Director Kyle Newacheck’s new movie sees Sandler reprise his role as an unlikely golfer known for his long drives. Bad Bunny, Benny Safdie and Haley Joel Osment are among the cast additions alongside returning stars Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen and Ben Stiller.

Even before the trailer dropped in May, the film’s marketing had kicked into gear, with McDonald appearing in character as cocky golfer Shooter McGavin at the Wm Phoenix Open golf tournament months prior. Then, the trailer’s release proved to be a big success, according to the streamer.

“People love the original movie,...

Plot: Twenty-nine years after winning his first Tour Championship, retired golfer Happy Gilmore returns to the sport to pay for his daughter Vienna’s ballet school.

Review (Warning: contains mild spoilers): When Happy Gilmore hit theaters in 1996, I was a dumb high schooler who had loved the idiocy of Adam Sandler’s Billy Madison and hoped for more of the sophomoric shenanigans that film delivered. Reteaming with Billy Madison co-writer Tim Herlihy, Happy Gilmore was a hilariously stupid sports movie with Sandler’s trademark yelling and bizarre jokes wrapped in an underdog tale. Naming his production company after his first two hit films, Adam Sandler has gone on to make dozens of similar movies interspersed with acclaimed movies like Punch-Drunk Love and Uncut Gems. After three decades, Sandler and Herlihy have returned to give audiences the long-awaited Happy Gilmore 2, which replicates the heartfelt stupidity of the original movie...

On the rink, he was a tough player who could have used a few skating lessons. On the green, however, Happy Gilmore’s killer slap shot helped him score the kind of long drives that could make Mike Austin scream profanity out of frustration. Hockey’s loss became golf’s gain, and Gilmore’s domination on the championship tour gave the PGA a shot of pure rock & roll energy right up its tight, white ass. Not even the furious fists of Bob Barker could slow down Happy’s ascent to sports legend.

Having completed three weeks of release in theaters worldwide, Jurassic World Rebirthis all set to pass the $700 million mark at the global box office this weekend. The film debuted theatrically just before James Gunn's Superman, and will soon face a new challenge in the form of Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Rebirth serves as a fresh start for the long-running action adventure franchise, which recently wrapped up a trilogy of billion-dollar hits starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Based on past results, the benchmark for success for Rebirth should also be around $1 billion. But there's still some work to be done on that front. Until then, it can enjoy the success of having overtaken major hits such as Doctor Strange and The Sixth Sense.

When Happy Gilmore first teed off in 1996, it quickly became one of the most beloved sports comedies of its time. Directed by Dennis Dugan and starring Adam Sandler in one of his most iconic roles, the film’s mix of crude humor, underdog charm, and slapstick golf action turned it into a cult classic.

Another Wednesday has come around, and the Netflix streaming service has just dropped some big news about their hit Addams Family series Wednesday!

Good news would make Wednesday Addams feel like harming someone to relish the emotional whiplash, but this bit would surely be exciting. Ahead of the premiere of the much-anticipated second season of Netflix's hit series Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the show has been renewed for Season 3. Series director Tim Burton and star Jenna Ortega shared the news. The news of the early renewal, while surprising, doesn't come as a total shock, given the show's immense popularity on the streaming platform. Wednesday Season 1 stands proud as the most-watched season of a Netflix show, making it the most popular Netflix original series of all time. The show has amassed 252.1 million views so far, and this number is expected to increase when Season 2 debuts its first part on August 6.

The Hollywood Reporter also posed the question of the show's longevity, but the executive producer and actor did not have a definite answer.

Kaya Scodelario was, until recently, one of those actors who has been around for decades and starred in multiple high-profile projects, but still many people don’t know about her. All of that changed with Guy Ritchie‘s Netflix series The Gentlemen, in which she stars as the iconic Susie Glass. The role of Susie was all Scodelario needed to break out in the mainstream and become a household name despite her previous high-profile role in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and The Maze Runner film trilogy. So, if you also loved Scodelario’s performance in The Gentlemen, here are the 10 best movies and TV shows starring Kaya Scodelario you shouldn’t miss out on.

On May 31, Netflix premiered the first six minutes of the Wednesday season two opening episode at their Netflix Tudum 2025 Live Event, where co-creator Alfred Gough admitted to asking himself the question, "What would Wednesday do during her summer vacation?" If you found yourself wondering the same, you're in luck, because the sneak peek gave us insights to just that.

Keeping within the woeful trend of season one titles, the season two opener, aptly named Here We Woe Again, starts zoomed in on Wednesday, gagged and tied to a chair with black tear stains while a haunting rendition of "My Favorite Things" plays in the background. The camera zooms out revealing a tea party setting with creepy dolls serving as guests. "It's been an eventful summer." Wednesday tells us, continuing with "I'm tied up in a serial killer's basement. Who said nightmares don't come true?" A genuinely Wednesday response.

So, how...

Before she took on the role of Mandy in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Emily Osment was known for playing Miley Cyrus’ on-screen Bff in the Disney hit Hannah Montana. However, the reality was far from what appeared on screen. Though playing best friends on TV, both Osment and Cyrus had a hard time getting along, especially after the show blew up to be such a huge hit.

Osment reflected on the same on the Chicks in the Office podcast, sharing that the success of the series appeared to have changed her relationship with Cyrus. “I mean, Miley used to come with me to my school dances and, like, nobody knew who she was and then immediately everything changed,” she shared. “And that was very strange.”

Cyrus has also opened up about how the two were put to compete against each other. And no matter how much they “tried to be friends,...

Spoilers: This post contains details about the Poker Face, Season 2 finale episode ‘The End of the Road’

With Natasha Lyonne‘s Charlie Cale on the run once again in the Season 2 finale of Poker Face, here’s hoping Patti Harrison‘s Alex isn’t far behind.

Ahead of Thursday’s episode ‘The End of the Road’, the comedian spoke to Deadline about taking on the “dream role” of the mysterious Alex, at first introduced as a quirky friend and potential Watson for the troubled protagonist Charlie’s Sherlock, but revealed in the finale to be the Moriarty of the story.

“I think that was an important part too, is just not that my character be so goofy and silly, ’cause I think they trusted me a lot to imbue it with humor, but that wasn’t my directive going in,” explained Harrison. “I wanted to kind of figure out what...
