Dexter: Resurrection Fan Theory(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Dexter: Resurrection, which premiered last month on Paramount+ with Showtime in the U.S. and on Amazon Prime Video in India, is already being hailed as one of the best seasons in the franchise’s history. Boasting a stellar 94% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score and a rock-solid 9.2/10 IMDb rating, anticipation is sky-high for the upcoming seventh episode, Course Correction. This follows the jaw-dropping Episode 6 twist that the Gemini Killer, aka Gareth, was actually one of a pair of twin serial killers, with Dexter having already killed one of them.

Throughout the season, viewers have met several chilling killers, thanks in part to Leon Prater’s (Peter Dinklage) obsession with them. But one name that’s the most mysterious of them all is the New York Ripper. Known for brutally mutilating victims, the unidentified killer has only been referenced through news reports, police chatter,...

Bridgerton: Rege-Jean Page Turned Down A Handsome Salary For Second Season, Only To End Up Adding Two Flops To His Filmography! (Photo Credit – IMDb)

Bridgerton Season 3 won hearts when it premiered on Netflix in 2024. The third chapter focuses on the love story of Penelope and Colin, taking center stage. But fans can’t help but look back at the stories of Seasons 1 and 2, which laid the foundation for this successful series.

While Kate and Anthony returned for Season 3, Phoebe Dynevor and Rege-Jean Page, The Duke and Duchess of Season 1 did not. Did you know that Rege-Jean Page said no to £250K ($317K) because he didn’t want to return to Bridgerton?

The news of everyone’s favorite Duke not returning for Season 2 was heartbreaking. Rege-Jean Page, who played the lead in the season, bid his goodbye to the show and even refused to return as a guest star. The...

Apple TV's perfect Bridgerton replacement is climbing the global streaming charts ahead of its season 2 finale. Based on Julia Quinn's romance novels, each season of Netflix's popular period drama follows a different member of the eponymous noble family as they find love in a historically alternative version of Regency-era London.

Bridgerton's cast includes names like Jonathan Bailey, Nicola Coughlan, Phoebe Dynevor, Regé-Jean Page, and Simone Ashley, many of whom have been catapulted to greater fame courtesy of the series. Since its debut in 2020, Bridgerton has consistently been one of Netflix's most-watched series, with seasons 1 and 3 both ranking among the streamer's top 10 most popular shows of all time worldwide.

As a result, there have been many shows similar to Bridgerton attempting to capitalize on its success, including Prime Video's My Lady Jane, which was controversially canceled after one season in August 2024. Now, another Bridgerton replacement is rising up the global streaming charts,...

Exclusive: Lorenzo De Moor (Another Simple Favor) has joined the cast of Italianna for Universal Pictures and Will Packer Productions.

The Dutch-Italian actor joins Halle Bailey, Regé-Jean Page, Marco Calvani and Aziza Scott in the film, which is now filming. Plot details are being kept under wraps.

Kat Coiro directs from Ryan Engle’s screenplay based on an original idea by Ryan Engle and Kristin Engle.

Universal Pictures will release Italianna wide on Friday, April 10, 2026. Will Packer and Johanna Byer will produce the film through his Will Packer Productions first look deal with Universal Pictures. Senior Executive Vice President Erik Baiers and Director of Development Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project for the studio. Alvie Hurtado will oversee the project for Will Packer Productions.

Most recently, on the feature side, de Moor had A Simple Favor 2, alongside Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, as well as a leading role in Maserati: The Brothers,...

Three years afterChris Pine starred in this critically acclaimed film, viewers still rave about his outstanding performance and that of his co-stars. Released in March 2023, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves quickly became a crowd-favorite, earning a fresh 91% critics' rating onRotten Tomatoes from 315 reviews and a Hot Popcornmeter score of 92%. Additionally, the film was added toNetflix’s catalog earlier this year, where it quickly reached the #2 spot just two days later. Unfortunately, its time on the streamer is about to end, as we’ve learned that Netflix plans to remove the production next month.

Based on What’s on Netflix’s list of productions leaving the streaming giant next month, Honor Among Thieves is set to exit on August 26, exactly six months after landing on February 26. The film was directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Gilio from a story by Chris McKay and Gilio.

There are many reasons for an actor to leave a popular show or an interesting project. Charle Barnett's Peter Mills was written out of "Chicago Fire" to make room for other characters. Barbie Ferreira left "Euphoria" because her character Kat Hernandez had limited storyline options left. 

Sometimes, the departure of a star whom fans saw as key to a show's popularity might be a simple contract issue. For instance, Regé-Jean Page's Simon Basset left "Bridgerton" simply because his contract was up and the esteemed Duke of Hastings opted to go explore other things. A similar thing happened with Gina Torres, who starred in the USA Network legal drama "Suits" as Jessica Pearson for six seasons before departing the show in 2016. In an interview with The New York Times, Torres confirmed that her exit was the simple matter of her contract ending:

"My contract was up, so this wasn't a...

Apple TV+ might have found its golden goose. The streamer has already established itself as one of the sources of high-quality entertainment, but it's not always that it bets on original ideas like Severance and Ted Lasso. Instead, the Tim Cook company has been honing in on the ink and paper world — book adaptations have proven themselves as excellent sources for the development of new TV series.

Not that Apple hasn't been doing it from the start. Some of the shows that helped launch the platform were inspired or fully based on books — The Morning Show is inspired by the best-selling book Top of the Morning, andFoundationdoes the immensely difficult job of adapting the novel series written by Isaac Asimov. The results keep piling up: in 2023, The Morning Show hit record viewership on the platform (per Deadline), while Foundation boasts a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Both series will roll out new episodes this year.

Apple TV+ is set to adapt Elissa Sussman’s bestselling novel, “Funny You Should Ask,“ released in the year 2022. Bridgerton star, the soul of the show, Regé-Jean Page, will be one of the leads and also the executive producer of the production. The plot will explore themes that include public perception through fame, missed opportunities, self-discovery, and, of course, being a rom-com, romance.

In its early development, Funny You Should Ask’s announcement was made by Deadline, covering that Page, alongside his producing partner (and long-time girlfriend) Emily Brow, has been working on the project. Scroll down to find out everything we know about the release dates, cast reveal, and more information!

Following his highly praised performance in Bridgerton, Regé-Jean Page will reprise his role in Funny You Should Ask.

Black Bag has finally found an audience. Three months after the spy thriller starring Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender flopped in theaters, the movie has become a massive hit on PVOD.

According to FlixPatrol, as of July 10, Black Bag is ranked No. 9 on iTunes' Top 10 Movies Worldwide list, coming in ahead of 28 Days Later and just below How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. The spy thriller was directed by Steven Soderbergh, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989) and the Ocean's trilogy starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and written by David Koepp, the fourth most successful screenwriter of all time (in terms of total domestic box office gross). Another Koepp-penned movie is also currently on iTunes' Top Movies list, with Steven Spielberg's 1993 sci-fi classic Jurassic Park sitting at No. 7, up two spots from yesterday.

Before Angela Sarafyan takes a leap into the DC Universe as Lara Lor-Van, the biological mother of Superman, in James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman (2025), let’s take a moment to appreciate the diverse roles that shaped her career. While she’ll be starring alongside Bradley Cooper’s Jor-El in this reimagined story of the Man of Steel, Sarafyan is no stranger to science fiction, drama, and horror.

In fact, if you’ve ever found yourself watching an intense episode of Law & Order: Svu or binge-watching Westworld, chances are you’ve already seen her work without realizing it. Armenian-American actress Angela Sarafyan has quietly built a career spanning over two decades, effortlessly transitioning from indie comedies to high-concept thrillers and fan-favorite TV series.

She has played a seductive vampire in Twilight, alongside Oscar winner Rami Malek, a philosophical host in Westworld, and even popped up in cult classics like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Life in the 2020s has gotten pretty weird, which is why fantasy movies are such an excellent escape. They're also usually very pretty to look at, with stories told on an epic scale.

Since the start of this decade, we've seen quite a few new fantasy stories spring to life on the big screen, including new Disney stories and a couple of medieval epics.

That being said, sometimes it does feel like we're in a bit of a drought when it comes to high fantasy films. Nonetheless, we've created a list of the most captivating fantasy movies from the 2020s (so far).

Dev Patel in The Green Knight | Eric Zachanowich/A24 Films 1. The Green Knight (2021)

An epic medieval fantasy that aims to reimagine the classic tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, this A24 film is absolutely gorgeous and dripping with style. Dev Patel stars in the leading role as Gawain.

One of Bridgerton'sbiggest breakout stars is developing an adaptation of a bestselling romance that draws influence from James Bond. Since its debut in 2020, Bridgerton has become one of the world's most popular shows, attracting a massive audience on Netflix. Bridgerton season 4 is underway, but actors who have exited the show have other projects in the works.

Despite appearing in just one season, Regé-Jean Page has been one of the biggest breakout stars from the series. Page's next project is for Apple TV+, where he's producing and planning to star in an adaptation of Funny You Should Ask(via Deadline). The novel, written by Elissa Sussman, explores the romantic connection between a young journalist and a Hollywood heartthrob.

In the world of the novel, the aforementioned Hollywood heartthrob is the actor playing James Bond. This creates an interesting meta element for the series, as Regé-Jean Page has been one of...

It's been a while since we saw Bridgerton star Regé-Jean Page on the small screen. Since his breakthrough role in the smash-hit Netflix original romantic drama series, which he only starred in for its debut season, Page moved away from television to build a film career. He's starred in the likes of The Gray Man, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and Black Bag.

But we could soon see the erstwhile Duke back on the small screen. No, he hasn't finally agreed to make an appearance in an upcoming season of Bridgerton, but Regé-Jean Page might star in another romantic series based on a best-selling novel. According to Deadline, Page will executive produce and possible star in an adaptation of Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman on Apple TV+.

Here’s the synopsis, per Deadline: “Funny You Should Ask is a love story that centers on a restless young journalist with big dreams who interviews a Hollywood heartthrob – and then reunites with him ten years later to discover exactly how he feels about her.”

Bridgerton fans are in for a treat because Regé-Jean Page has just scored a new, exciting adaptation. The actor stole the hearts of the audience as Simon, the Duke of Hastings, in Bridgerton Season 1, but has since moved on to other projects.

Page has now scored the leading role in an upcoming exciting adaptation: Elissa Sussman’s best-selling novel, Funny You Should Ask.

Sussman published Funny You Should Ask in 2022, and it follows a young journalist who feels like she gets stuck behind while all her former colleagues are making big career advances.

Exclusive: In a competitive situation, Apple has landed for development a TV series based on Elissa Sussman’s best-selling novel Funny You Should Ask, with Regé-Jean Page and his producing partner Emily Brown executive producing through their A Mighty Stranger Production banner, Deadline has learned.

Author Michael Crichton passed away in 2008, but several of his novels have been published years after his death. Pirate Latitudes came along in 2009, Micro (which was completed by Richard Preston) followed in 2011, Dragon Teeth (originally written in 1974) was published in 2017, and last year brought the best-seller Eruption, which was completed by James Patterson. The book reached store shelves in June of 2024, and by the end of the month an Eruption film adaptation was set up at Sony, which secured the rights in a competitive auction, making a seven-figure deal. Free Solo directors Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi were on board to take the helm of the film – but now, Deadline reports that Chin and Vasarhelyi are no longer involved with the project. While the studio searches for a new director, Kaz Firpo and Ryan Firpo have been hired to write the screenplay.

Eruption follows a history-making volcano explosion that...

Exclusive: Following Jurassic World Rebirth‘s $322 million-plus global opening weekend, Sony has hired writers Kaz Firpo and Ryan Firpo to adapt Eruption, the No. 1 New York Times bestseller from Michael Crichton and James Patterson.

At the same time, we understand that the project, which Sony won in a competitive auction last summer in a major deal, is now an open directing assignment with Free Solo filmmakers Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi having exited.

Eruption, which Crichton started writing before his death in 2008 and which was completed by Patterson, follows a history-making volcano explosion that is about to wipe away the big island of Hawaii. However, a secret held for decades by the U.S. military is far more terrifying than any volcano. The two blockbuster authors have combined worldwide sales of more than 700 million books.

Eruption is being produced by Sherri Crichton, Patterson, and Shane Salerno and The Story Factory.

Before Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt Nearly Headlined Netflix’s The Gray Man ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Acclaimed Hollywood star Brad Pitt has starred in numerous action films, including Troy, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Spy Game, and Bullet Train. However, even some diehard movie buffs may not know that the Oscar-winning actor was once in line to star in a spy action thriller that eventually became one of the biggest Netflix hits. Can you guess which film it is? Read on to find out.

The Netflix Hit Which Almost Starred Brad Pitt

We are talking about the 2022 film The Gray Man, which was directed by the Russo Brothers and featured Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans in the lead roles. According to an earlier report by Variety, Brad Pitt was once in talks to headline a film adaptation of Mark Greaney’s debut thriller The Gray Man. At the time, the project was supposed...

It’s been a long time since Regé-Jean Page and his longtime girlfriend Emily Brown have been seen together in public, but there are some new photos of them!

The 37-year-old Bridgerton actor and Emily, who works as a copywriter, were spotted out for dinner on Saturday (June 28) at Pierluigi restaurant in Rome, Italy.

Rege and Emily were seen enjoying their meal at an outdoor table. He even snapped a selfie with the waiter at the end of the night!

This is the first time that the couple has been spotted together in public in more than a year. They have been dating since at least 2020.

If you didn’t know, Rege is in town while shooting the movie Italianna alongside Halle Bailey and Lorenzo de Moor. His co-stars were spotted on set the other day!

While plot details are currently being kept under wraps, Deadline reports that the movie...

Halle Bailey has started production on her new movie!

The 25-year-old singer/actress arrived on set of Italianna to film a few scenes alongside co-star Lorenzo de Moor on Thursday (June 26) in Rome, Italy.

For their time on set, Halle wore an unbuttoned blue and striped shirt over a blue outfit while the 30-year-old Italian actor wore a green and blue striped, button-down shirt with black pants.

The movie, which was being directed by Kat Coiro, also stars Regé-Jean Page.

While plot details are currently being kept under wraps, Deadline reports that the movie is based on an original idea by Ryan and Kristin Engle and that Ryan is writing the screenplay.

If you missed it, Halle has been involved in a nasty custody battle with ex Ddg over their 17-month-old son Halo.

Aziza Scott is the latest actor to join “Italianna,” Universal Pictures and Will Packer Productions’ upcoming romantic comedy starring Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page.

Scott, who is best known for roles in TV shows like “Home Before Dark,” “The Fosters” and “Insecure,” most recently delivered a standout turn in “One of Them Days,” the hit buddy comedy movie starring Keke Palmer and Sza. In the movie, produced by Issa Rae, Palmer and Sza play best friends in a race against the clock to deliver their rent money, with Scott’s Berniece as one of their most menacing, yet hilarious, hurdles.

Now, Scott brings her comedic chops to “Italianna,” appearing alongside Bailey, Page and Marco Calvani. Directed by Kat Coiro from a screenplay by Ryan Engle, the film is based on an original idea by Ryan and Kristin Engle. Plot details, including Scott’s role, are being kept under wraps. “Italianna...

Henry Golding recently shared his opinions about possibly taking over the role of James Bond.

“I think that’s every actor’s kind of nightmare,” Golding told People at “The Old Guard 2” red carpet premiere in Los Angeles on June 25.

He continued, “But at the same time, [you’re] also wanting to kind of add something new to a franchise. Why can’t they bring out more agents or more Oo’s? I think that would be so much more fun because there just isn’t the restraints and the expectation.”

Despite his initial response, Golding admitted, “Maybe I’m just a pussy. I don’t know. But I think I would love it so much more if there wasn’t that overhanging cultural pressure.”

Golding is one of several candidates to be cast as the martini-sipping superspy in the forthcoming film. In November 2024, Variety assembled a list of top contenders,...

When it comes to Netflix’s Bridgerton, there is no shortage of interesting, well-developed characters, be it the dashing Jonathan Bailey’s Viscount Anthony or Nicola Coughlan’s Penelope Featherington. But not all of these characters have managed to spark the same appeal as others, and one main character that falls rather flat is Phoebe Dynevor’s Daphne Bridgerton, aka the Diamond of the first season.

In the season debut of the Netflix series, Daphne is crowned the ‘diamond of the season’—a title reserved for the most flawless, desirable debutante in London’s high society. But while she fits the aesthetic and social expectations to a tee, Daphne ends up being the least compelling character in the series.

Daphne Is Bridgerton’s Least Intriguing Character Phoebe Dynevor | Credits: Bridgerton / Netflix

In Bridgerton’s debut season, Daphne Bridgerton, portrayed by Phoebe Dynevor, ends up being the diamond of the season.

I feel like every character in Bridgerton was cast so perfectly! Each of the actors embody the historical drama personas they're portraying, I can't imagine anyone else in their roles. It's clear how much chemistry they all have as well. Not just in the romantic sense, but those who play the Bridgerton siblings and other family members and friends in the Netflix drama too. Though did you know there's a major star who almost didn't even audition? And when he eventually did, he sent in a tape for a different role!

Anthony Bridgerton actor Jonathan Bailey recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and revealed this huge piece of information about his now iconic role. The dashing viscount said he was sent the script but "nearly didn't audition" as he was coming off his theater gig on Company. At that point he had been on a rigorous scheduling, doing three months...

Marco Calvani, the Italian star who delivered a breakout performance in Netflix’s “The Four Seasons,” is leaning into his roots for “Italianna,” Universal Pictures and Will Packer Productions’ upcoming romantic comedy starring Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page.

Directed by Kat Coiro from a screenplay by Ryan Engle, “Italianna” will be released theatrically on April 10, 2026.

Calvani, who is also a playwright and filmmaker, joins the project after making his U.S. acting debut in “The Four Seasons,” Tina Fey’s adaptation of the 1981 Alan Alda film by the same name. Calvani plays the charming (yet sometimes over-the-top) Claude, husband to Colman Domingo’s Danny, in the comedy about a group of friends navigating life, love and loss. Calvani told Variety that Domingo, whom he calls a “dear friend,” recruited him for the role while he was working on his second feature.

“[He] called me one morning and was like, ‘Hey, are you still an actor?...

Bridgerton Season 4 officially wrapped filming and is expected to release sometime next year. The fourth season will adapt the third Bridgerton book: An Offer From a Gentleman, which focuses on Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson). Now, as fans await more news – like a full release date or maybe even a trailer – for Benedict and Sophie Baek's (Yerin Ha) love story, Bridgerton's Season 2 star is promising he'll be around for as long as they'll have him.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Bailey, who plays Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, talked about his recent global success with Wickedas well as the highly anticipated Jurassic World Rebirth. He also talked about Bridgerton, and his experience in returning for Season 4. Bailey also promised there would be no Irish goodbye from him with the series if he could help it:

"I’ve never been someone who’s like, 'Thanks, bye.' It’s not in my nature.

If you were nervous about Jonathan Bailey and his fan-favorite character Anthony Bridgerton not appearing in future seasons of the hit Netflix historical romance, then worry no longer! The actor has made it clear he's not going anywhere, as long as the show keeps calling him back for more. With how much us fans love him, I'd hope the series would continue to do so.

The Bridgerton star recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about his time before the drama, teased a little bit of what's to come in season 4 (hint: he confirmed there is a wedding!), and told the news outlet about his successful career following his character's more central storylines in the first two seasons. The great news is that while we are waiting for the fourth season, coming in 2026, Netflix has already renewed the series for seasons 5 and 6. With these updates, Bailey is definitely in it for the long haul.

Does Jonathan Bailey Plan To Continue Being Part Of Bridgerton? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Ever since he appeared on Bridgerton, Jonathan Bailey has been booked and busy. His career trajectory has seen a massive rise in terms of popularity, opportunities, and the appreciation he is getting for playing different roles in every project, jumping from genre to genre.

Be it the regency drama of Bridgerton, the political thriller Fellow Travellers, the musical fantasy Wicked, or his upcoming release, the science fiction movie Jurassic World: Rebirth. Despite being so busy, Jonathan continues to love Bridgerton. The actor recently shed light on whether he will ever leave the Netflix period drama.

Jonathan Bailey On The Initial Fame After Bridgerton

During a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, the 37-year-old shared how he was almost not going to audition for Bridgerton. When he did send the tape, he was reading for Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings,...

Season 2 of Bridgerton gave the audience one of the genre’s most electric love stories in the series so far. The slow-burn romance between Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma has comfortably established its position as one of the best love stories in the Bridgerton franchise.

The season rose to popularity primarily because of the iconic “bane of my existence” scene between Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley. Delivered with an electrifying sense of desperation and urgency by Bailey, the impassioned confession became an instant cult-favorite and a classic Bridgerton reference.

That one Kanthony scene holds so much emotional weight that Season 3, despite strong performances, just failed to live up to the mark. While Colin and Penelope’s romance was no less fulfilling, I’m afraid Kanthony’s chemistry might have set the standards too high.

The Bridgerton scene that set the bar too high

It’s safe to say Anthony Bridgerton...

Jonathan Bailey is talking all about Bridgerton in his latest magazine interview.

And while he’s busy in promo mode for Jurassic World Rebirth, it hasn’t stopped the press from asking about the fan favorite Netflix series, for which he stars as Anthony Bridgerton.

Why He Almost Passed on Auditioning for Bridgerton:

First, Jonathan revealed that in 2018 when the audition for the series came up, he almost passed on it!

“I got sent it and I nearly didn’t audition,” he told THR, revealing the audition happened just as he was wrapping up his revival of the musical Company, which he’d been performing for six months. “At that time, I was really done. I just needed to go and experience the world.” He read for the Duke, which was played by Rege-Jean Page. But eventually, he met with producers and landed the role of Anthony.

Stars: Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, Gustaf Skarsgård, Tom Burke, Marisa Abela, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris, Kae Alexander, Pierce Brosnan | Written by David Koepp | Directed by Steven Soderbergh

There’s something deeply satisfying about watching Steven Soderbergh work in a minimalist mode – pared down, sharply composed, and operating with clinical precision. Black Bag is exactly that: a lean, cerebral spy thriller that trades explosions for glances, and car chases for loaded silences. It’s also one of the most deliciously grown-up films of the year.

From the moment the film begins, Soderbergh signals that we’re not in the world of shaken martinis or gadgetry. This is espionage as emotional warfare, and it plays out mostly in apartments, dinner tables, and discreet backrooms. The plot is deceptively simple: Michael Fassbender plays George, a British intelligence officer assigned to uncover a mole, who may be his own wife, played with icy finesse by Cate Blanchett.

The Harry Potter movies aren’t just full of magic and adventures – they’re also full of celebrity cameos!

Over the years, stars including Julianne Hough and Rege-Jean Page have talked about their small, and uncredited, roles in the blockbuster movie franchise.

Ddg‘s request for a domestic violence restraining order against ex-girlfriend Halle Bailey has been denied.

Jeremy Allen White’s favorite James Bond isn’t Daniel Craig, and we aren’t really complaining. He picked another classic Bond actor as his favorite: Sean Connery.

After the news that Bridgerton Season 4 will officially be coming next year, we're learning a little more about the upcoming season. The season will be based on Julia Quinn's third Bridgerton book, An Offer from a Gentleman, and feature Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) as the leading man. Now, composer Kris Bowers is dishing on the music for the upcoming season as well as the connection to its prequel series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.

Bowers tells Shondaland that “I created a slightly different sound, which was a lot of fun in terms of fresh instrumentation and approach to the music for the Bridgerton world." He says, "There’s a slight connection to Queen Charlotte for me [personally] because of the fact that you’re seeing people who are maybe not as commonly seen in high society.” We also already know that the sound of Taylor Swift is returning once again to the series.

PBS Masterpiece has officially acquired rights to The Count of Monte Cristo, a high-profile new TV series adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ legendary revenge tale. A collaborative production between Italy's Palomar and France's Demd Productions, the internationally ambitious project was shot entirely in English. It stars British actor Sam Claflin (Daisy Jones and the Six) in the lead role of Edmond Dantès, along with Egot winner Jeremy Irons (The Borgias) as Abbé Faria, Edmond's friend and confidante. The series originally premiered at the 19th Rome Film Festival in October 2024 and aired in Switzerland, Sweden, and Italy. Now, PBS Masterpiece is set to bring this fresh take on the iconic tale to American audiences.

Masterpieces Head of Scripted Content and Executive Producer Susanne Simpson announced at the PBS Annual Meeting that The Count of Monte Cristo was acquired alongside the British film The Great Escaper, saying in a statement, “I couldn...

After one of the greatest cinematic acting careers in history, Michael Caine has retired from show business. And now his final performance, in the 2023 British film The Great Escaper, is set to make its U.S. TV debut. PBS' long-running anthology series Masterpiece will air the film this fall. Masterpiece has also acquired the 2024 miniseries adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo, which stars Sam Claflin in the title role; it will premiere in 2026.

The Great Escaper stars Caine as real-life World War II veteran Bernard Jordan. Living in a nursing home in 2014, he hopes to attend the 70th anniversary ceremony for the D-Day landings in Normandy, but can't get a place on a group tour. Undeterred, he makes a daring escape from the home. The Great Escaper also features the final performance from Oscar-winning actor Glenda Jackson, who died shortly after completing it; she plays Irene, Jordan's wife of sixty years.

Every season, the avid fans tune in to witness the love story of a Bridgerton sibling. Based on the novel series by Julia Quinn, the show is produced by Shonda Rhimes from Shondaland. Yes, Grey’s Anatomy fame. Here’s a guide to all three seasons of Bridgerton and what we know about its future.

Bridgerton: Guide To All Seasons

Though viewers are already clamoring for more Bridgerton, the Shondaland period romance series based on Julia Quinn’s novels will take a bit to make its fourth season. The third season of the television adaptation was split into two parts as Netflix does with some of its tentpole titles.

Does Bridgerton Season 4 have a release date?

In January...

Dearest gentle viewers, your patience has finally been rewarded: Netflix has renewed “Bridgerton” for Seasons 5 and 6. Additionally, the streamer has confirmed “Bridgerton” Season 4 will debut in 2026.

The fourth season marks the halfway point for Netflix’s “Bridgerton” TV series adaptation, which is set to adapt all eight books from Julia Quinn’s romance series about the eight siblings in the titular Bridgerton family. And with the new two-season order, Netflix has formally picked up at least six out of the planned eight seasons for the Shonda Rhimes-produced Regency-era romance.

The announcements were made out of Netflix’s upfront presentation to advertisers, where it revealed new footage from “Bridgerton” Season 4, which shows season leads Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha as Benedict Bridgerton and love interest Sophie Baek, respectively. In the clip from the new season, Benedict lays eyes on Sophie at a masquerade ball and it’s seemingly love at first masked sight.

While Netflix's "Bridgerton" isn't true to real English history in many ways, it does maintain a general accuracy when it comes to the ranks of the nobility, the customs of the Ton, and the nature of courtship during "the season". The order of importance and prestige in the aristocracy is never laid out explicitly on the show, but enough characters of different rank come and go that viewers can piece together some of the basics. In season 1, for instance, Simon Bassett (Regé-Jean Page) is a duke, which stirs up quite a fervor when he arrives in town and begins wooing Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor).

Simon is good friends with Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) as well, though their ranks aren't quite as comparable as you might assume. Anthony is a Viscount, inheriting the title from his late father. When he marries Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) in "Bridgerton" season 2, she thus becomes his Viscountess.
