The Handmaid’s Tale concluded its critically lauded six-season run in May 2025. Now, Hulu is bringing viewers back to the same world with The Testaments, a show based on the 2019 novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood. This sequel will be set 15 years after the finale of the original show and explore how Gilead has evolved through the eyes of a new generation of women.

Even though the regime is still in power, cracks of dissent and resistance are starting to appear within. Fans of The Handmaid’s Tale will find that even though the new show will have fresh faces leading it, there will be returning characters as well.

Also, it will follow the continuity of the original show. After all, Bruce Miller, who was in charge of The Handmaid’s Tale, is back for this new journey, and Elisabeth Moss will be in an executive producer role on the show.

Sebastian Stan was highly praised for portraying Donald Trump in the biographical drama, The Apprentice. While the movie did not make a huge splash at the box office, it stirred up a lot of controversy prior to its release, thanks mainly to the former and new president of America. Now Stan has revealed that since Trumps unprecedented election victory, he has found himself being shut out when it comes to being able to speak about the movie even having to cancel an episode of Varietys Actors on Actors series as no one would participate with him.

Speaking at a Q&a after a screening of The Apprentice, Stan joined director Ali Abbasi to talk about the film, and revealed that he has struggled to find people willing to openly discuss the movie and its subject in any way for fear of receiving some kind of blowback for it. Stan said:...

Director Ali Abbasi risked his career to direct the upcoming biopic about former U.S. President Donald Trump called The Apprentice. The Holy Spider director has already worked with sensitive topics based on real-life events, so The Apprentice seemed right up his alley, but other directors and distributors were not willing to take the risk. Abbasi has been vocal about his struggle to make the film and score a distributor, encountering networks like ABC and CBS that refuse to air the movie in TV spots. As the 2024 election grows closer, new details about the tough production are being revealed.

Since its announcement, the Donald Trump biopic has had a looming shadow of controversy around it. Given the former president's life story, it's easy to see why folks would be for or against it. The Apprentice premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to resounding applause. Written by Gabriel Sherman and directed by Ali Abbasi, the story follows Trump's early career and his quest to expand his real estate under the guidance of lawyer Roy Cohn. While the film is exactly what you'd expect, it comes with stunning performances and an exciting script that enchants with its drama.

Superfan Chris Rock reboots the death-trap-based Saw franchise with this spin-off torture horror that plays like a detective thriller. The result isn’t perfect, but it ticks enough of the right boxes to get the job done.

Chris Rock (who also served as producer and clearly had a hand in the script) stars as Detective Zeke Banks, a loner who’s been the pariah of his police department ever since he turned in a dirty cop for shooting a witness. That precinct-wide resentment isn’t helped by the fact that he’s also the son of revered – and now retired – former head of the Metro police, Marcus Banks (Samuel L. Jackson).

However, Zeke’s...
