Brandon Sklenar has become one of the biggest breakout stars of the last few years, thanks to his role in 1923, the hit Yellowstone prequel from Taylor Sheridan. However, the actor recently starred in a box office hit that has also found success on streaming. Sklenar stars alongside Meghann Fahy (Sirens) and Violett Beane (Countdown) in Drop, a whodunnit mystery thriller following a widowed mother who goes on her first date since her husband’s passing. Things turn dark when she’s bombarded with messages threatening her son. Drop recently began streaming on Peacock, and it’s quickly become the most popular movie on the platform. The film earned a “certified fresh” 84% from critics and a 79% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed $28 million at the global box office against a modest $11 million budget.

While it seemed like Sklenar was done working with Taylor Sheridan after the second and final...

Taylor Sheridan may be trading the ranch for the red carpet (Oscar-style). The Yellowstone creator is cooking up a new film that’s already drawing awards buzz, especially now that a major Succession star has boarded the project. The new film’s casting move signals a bold shift, and possibly a big swing at the Academy.

With Ts’s cinematic track record and a powerhouse ensemble shaping up, this could be more than just another modern Western. It might just be his Oscar moment.

After building an empire on TV with Yellowstone, 1923, and Landman, Taylor Sheridan is making a long-awaited return to the big screen — and he’s not coming alone. Deadline is reporting that that Succession standout Juliana Canfield has officially joined F.A.S.T., Sheridan’s upcoming action thriller for Warner Bros., as the female lead opposite 1923 breakout Brandon Sklenar. Sheridan wrote the script nearly a decade ago, and after years in development limbo, F.A.S.T. is finally speeding toward theaters with an official release date of April 23, 2027. The project marks a reunion for Sklenar and 1923 director Ben Richardson, who is making his feature directorial debut after acclaimed cinematography work on Beasts of the Southern WildandThe Fault in Our Stars.

Canfield is fresh off her first Tony Award nomination for Stereophonic, Broadway’s record-breaking play about a fictional ‘70s rock band and their unraveling relationships in the recording studio. Though she earned...

Exclusive: Succession alum and Stereophonic Tony nominee Juliana Canfield has landed the female lead opposite Brandon Sklenar in F.A.S.T., the action thriller from Warner Bros.

Character details for Canfield are under wraps. In the film, marking the feature directorial debut of veteran Dp Ben Richardson, a former special forces commando is tapped by the DEA to lead a black op strike team against CIA-protected drug dealers.

Script is by mega TV producer Taylor Sheridan, who was commissioned by Warner Bros prior to his current overall deal with Paramount, with the latter granting Taylor’s request to render services, within Paramount’s exclusive window. David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford will produce for Heyday Films, along with Sheridan and Jenny Wood of Bosque Ranch Productions. Warner Bros. Pictures President of Production Jesse Ehrman and EVP of Production Kevin McCormick are overseeing the film, which will be released in...

Daytime newcomer Charlie Besso has been cast as Tobias on “General Hospital,” Soap Opera Network can confirm. He first airs on the Tuesday, February 18 episode of the drama series.

Tobias was first referenced in the December 20, 2023 episode, wherein Aiden (then played by Enzo De Angelis), came out to his mother, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), for the first time as they prepared a Christmas meal together and Aiden reveled in his passion for culinary arts.

In Tuesday’s episode, which sees Port Charles celebrating Valentine’s Day, Aiden (Colin Cassidy) introduces Tobias to his parents as the young couple prepare to go skating together.

The episode also sees former “Days of our Lives” star Guy Wilson (ex-Will Horton) temporarily appearing on the soap as Lucky Spencer, Aiden’s father.

Your favorite Seventies rock play is headed overseas. Stereophonic will take on London’s West End in May 2025.

The most Tony-nominated play of all time will wrap its stint at New York’s John Golden Theatre on Sunday, after two extensions, a recoup, and 305 performances in the can. They’ll head to London’s Duke of York’s Theatre in May, though no exact date has been announced.

In the fall, the production will venture to the Pacific Northwest, where it will launch in Seattle at the Paramount Theatre. Additional U.

Shailene Woodley made her Broadway debut with a ton of celebs in the audience supporting her!

The Emmy-nominated actress took her opening night bow in the new play Cult of Love on Thursday night (December 12) at the Hayes Theater in New York City.

Shailene is starring in the play alongside Zachary Quinto, Barbie Ferreira, Chris Lowell, Molly Bernard, and more.

Here’s the play’s synopsis: “It’s the holiday season for the Dahl family! The four adult children return to their childhood home with partners in tow. The Dahl traditions include singing carols in harmony at the drop of a hat, but the gathering is anything but harmonious. Old conflicts resurface, new issues battled, and dinner is taking absolutely forever to be served. Will the love the Dahls have for each other be enough to get them through, or will this be their last Christmas together?”

Adam Driver had the support of some famous friends at his opening night in a new Off-Broadway show!

The Oscar-nominated actor celebrated the opening of the Kenneth Lonergan play Hold on to Me Darling on Wednesday night (October 16) at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York City.

Also pictured inside are Adam‘s co-stars Heather Burns and Adelaide Clemons.

Hold on to Me Darling is playing a limited run through December 22. Here’s a synopsis: “On learning of his mother’s death, country music icon Strings McCrane (Driver) finds himself in an existential tailspin. The only way out, he decides, is to abandon superstardom in favor of the simple life, so he moves back to his hometown in Tennessee. The simple life turns out to be anything but simple in this brilliantly observed tragicomedy, as the consequences of Strings’s success and mind-bending effects of his fame prove all but impossible to outrun.

Stereophonic, which follows a folk-rock quintet on the brink of blowing up, will extend its Broadway run, producers announced Monday. The production will extend its run through Jan. 12, 2025, which producers called Stereophonic’s final extension.

Cast members Sarah Pidgeon, Juliana Canfield, and Tom Pecinka, who have performed in the musical since the show opened in April, will deliver their final performances on Sept. 29. Amy Forsyth, Rebecca Naomi Jones, and Benjamin Anthony Anderson will take over their respective roles as Diana, Holly, and Peter. The new cast will begin performances Oct.

Stereophonic, David Adjmi’s Tony-winning play, will extend its run through January 12, 2025, a move that producers say is the production’s final extension.

Also today, producers announced that three original cast members – Sarah Pidgeon, Juliana Canfield and Tom Pecinka – will play their final performances on Sunday, September 29, with Amy Forsyth, Rebecca Naomi Jones and Benjamin Anthony Anderson taking over the roles of, respectively, Diana, Holly and Peter.

The new cast members will begin performances at the Golden Theatre on Tuesday, October 1. Anderson currently is Pecinka’s understudy for the role of Peter. Emilie Kouatchou and Denver Milord will join the production as understudies.

Producers Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Seaview, Sonia Friedman Productions, Linden Productions, and Ashley Melone & Nick Mills cited popular demand as the reason for the extension. Stereophonic began Broadway previews on April 1 and opened April 19. The run initially was to have lasted for 14 weeks, but ticket sales, widespread...

There were so many stars in attendance at Thom Browne‘s event held during New York Fashion Week!

Instead of throwing a regular fashion show, the brand opted for a dinner party co-hosted by Oh, Mary! actor Cole Escola on Monday night (September 9) at The Commerce Inn in New York City.

Cole told Vogue at the event, “I still can’t wrap my head around why people want me to wear their clothes. It means a lot that this is coming from my play; I wrote this play and this character that is very much my voice and that other artists whose work I admire are responding to it and wanting to include me in their world, it’s everything.”

Newly engaged couple Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom wore matching outfits at the event, which was also attended by Patti LuPone, Martha Stewart, Issa Rae, and The Gilded Age...

Claire Danes is no longer a blonde!

The Emmy-winning actress sported a darker strawberry blonde hair color while attending the Ulla Johnson show during New York Fashion Week on Sunday (September 8) at Terminal Warehouse in New York City.

Claire sat in the front row at the show alongside Zoey Deutch, Danai Gurira, Molly Ringwald, and Broadway’s Stereophonic stars Juliana Canfield and Sarah Pidgeon.

Next up for Claire is the upcoming Netflix limited series The Beast in Me, which will also star Matthew Rhys.

Deadline reports that in the show, since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs (Danes) has receded from public life, unable to write, a ghost of her former self. But she finds an unlikely subject for a new book when the house next door is bought by Nile Jarvis (Rhys), a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime...

While Los Angeles suffers from a late summer heat wave, New York is also turning up the temperature thanks to the current star-packed parade happening at fashion shows across the city.

New York Fashion Week — happening now through Sept. 11 — is hosting shows from some of the industry’s top designers, and actors, artists, influencers, sports stars and even a First Lady (Dr. Jill Biden) have been on the scene to catch the debut of designs from the front row.

Below, The Hollywood Reporter takes a look at the stars sitting front row during New York Fashion Week.

“Tuition-free” is becoming the new buzzword, as several of the world’s top drama schools plan to adopt that policy starting this fall, including the graduate programs at Juilliard and USC.

These join a number of existing free programs on The Hollywood Reporter‘s annual list of the best drama schools, as they look to expand accessibility and mitigate the debt many drama students bring into continuing education. It’s a big positive step in a year when many schools have been emerging from the pandemic era of largely online classes and leaning into more inclusive, tech-forward curriculums.

In addition to broadening access to more diverse candidates and wanting to stay competitive with recruitment, the push to go tuition-free at USC was spurred on by the writers and actors strikes. “Just knowing how volatile the industry is for these creatives, it’s extremely important that they not be saddled with...

About three-quarters of the way through every performance of David Adjmi’s Tony-winning play Stereophonic, two characters – Holly, the British keyboardist/vocalist (played by Juliana Canfield) and Grover, the American recording engineer (Eli Gelb) get into a debate over their favorite movies. Their favorite erotic movies, to be exact.

The setting being, as it were, a cantankerous rock & roll recording studio session circa 1976, there’s no surprise that Holly and Grover likely won’t agree, and indeed, Grover chooses Last Tango in Paris, making sure to point out that every woman he’s ever dated has had a crush on Marlon Brando.

Not so Holly. She finds Brando mean and misogynist, and much prefers the sensitive poignance of Donald Sutherland in the grief-stricken romantic thriller Don’t Look Now.

Now, Holly mentions Don’t Look Now every night, but on Friday night the words landed quite a bit differently among the...

On Sunday, the 77th annual Tony Awards were held, hosted by Broadway and film actress Ariana DeBose at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. The ceremony saw wins for Sarah Paulson, Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe. Several notable faces took the stage as presenters, including Angelina Jolie, Brooke Shields, Nick Jonas and even former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

This year’s nominations raised some skeptical responses over the omission of the fan-favorite revival of The Wiz and Appropriate‘s nomination for costume design. The ceremony was also deemed “dull” by many viewers citing numerous on-stage speech fumbles and a lack of stage presence from presenters and award winners.

Regardless, fans were excited to see their favorite faces take home their wins. Stereophonic and Alicia Keys‘ musical Hell’s Kitchen swept the categories with 13 nominations. Paulson returned to the stage after 13 years and snagged a win,...

No awards show makes it to the end without a few surprises, and tonight’s Tony Awards on CBS had a whopper: It went off without a hitch.

The Pluto TV pre-show, not so much. But more on that in a bit.

With Ariana DeBose returning to host for the third time, the 77th Annual Tonys was like a how-to for awards shows, with nearly all of the performances by the Best Musical nominees (and the year’s Best Play winner Stereophonic) showcasing each production at its best. (Which one fell a bit short? Read on.)

DeBose kicked things off with a made-for-the-show musical number, sounding terrific even if a performance from one of the actual Broadway shows might have been a wiser option. DeBose has said this will be her final Tony hosting gig, at least for a while, and she’ll be missed: She knows how to hold the spotlight,...

Stereophonic won the Tony for best play Sunday, one of the five Tony Awards the most nominated play in Tonys history earned during the 2024 edition of the Broadway ceremony.

The play, written by David Adjmi, follows a band trying to record a hit album in the 1970s and features a rock score written by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler. While the majority of the production features spoken dialogue, thus classifying the show as a play, rather than a musical, the Stereophonic actors also perform songs on stage as part of the show.

Adjmi accepted the award for best play, noting the tough journey to get the play, which spans more than three hours and includes a recording booth on stage, produced. He had previously spoken with The Hollywood Reporter about how the play illustrates his own struggle not to give up on himself as an playwright.

“It’s really hard...

The Tony Awards are being handed out Sunday night.

Ariana DeBose is hosting the live broadcast from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York. The ceremony airs live from 8-11 p.m. Et/5-8 p.m. Pt on June 16 on CBS and streams on Paramount+ in the U.S. (See the red carpet photos.)

Among the noteworthy winners so far are Daniel Radcliffe and Jeremy Strong, who both took home their first Tonys, and Dede Ayite, who became the first Black woman to win a Tony for best costume design of a play.

Set to perform at the ceremony are the casts of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, Hell’s Kitchen, Illinoise, Merrily We Roll Along, Stereophonic, Suffs, The Outsiders, The Who’s Tommy and Water for Elephants.

Presenters will include Utkarsh Ambudkar, Nate Burleson, Cynthia Erivo, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Josh Gad,...

When Tony voters looked at their ballots for best musical in 1960, they must have felt lightheaded. They were tasked with choosing a winner among the latest Rodgers and Hammerstein (The Sound of Music), a political drama that would go on to win the Pulitzer (Fiorello!), a new kind of psychological biography (Gypsy), and an uproarious fairy-tale comedy (Once Upon a Mattress). I’m not sure if any of the 2024 nominees for best musical will stand the test of time quite like that stunning lineup. But as was true 64 years ago, there are at least four celebrated contenders vying, all equally convincingly, for the top prize.

Part of what makes this season’s best musical category particularly tricky to predict is the volume of productions that aren’t on the ballot here: At various moments throughout the season, in which 15 new musicals opened (and six have already closed), it would have...

Jeremy Strong confirms Kendall Roy's story reached an end in Succession season 4. Series creator Jesse Armstrong decided to conclude Succession despite HBO's reluctance. Strong is content with Kendall's closure, suggesting the character reached his "terminal point."

Succession's future gets a candid update from Emmy-winning actor Jeremy Strong, who starred as Kendall Roy. The celebrated HBO dramedy accomplished a relatively rare distinction, bowing out at a time when both audiences and critics would likely have embraced another round of Roy family squabbles. The decision to end Succession before season 5 came from series creator Jesse Armstrong despite reluctance from HBO executives, as he felt like the story had arrived at a natural end.

In recent comments to People, Strong talked about how Kendall reached his terminal point in the Succession season 4 finale. Even though Strong mentioned that the decision ultimately goes back to Armstong, he concedes: For me, thats something that is very happily put to rest.

Kerry Washington no longer plays the fictional Olivia Pope on “Scandal,” but she still suits up like a gladiator when it comes to expressing her opinions about Washington, D.C. and Hollywood.

The actress, producer, and director told Variety on the red carpet at the annual Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program luncheon that she is “sometimes reluctant” to tell people who they should support in politics, but she does believe in ‘”voting up and down the ballot for candidates that really support humanity and inclusivity.”

“I am voting for Biden, but part of the reason why I am is because it’s so important for us to hold our elected officials accountable,” she revealed during the event. “And I’m voting for the person who I think I can do that with – the person who I can engage with, have conversations with; the person who...

There are days when the success of the most Tony-nominated play of all time and its leading lady comes down to a gossip session with her co-star, a facial steam, and a poorly microwaved serving of Kraft Mac and Cheese. When the curtains go up at New York’s John Golden Theatre, Sarah Pidgeon transforms into Stereophonic‘s singer-songwriter Diana, a fictional powerhouse who is an amalgamation of the greatest female rock stars of all time, most clearly Stevie Nicks. But she and co-star Juliana Canfield have a ritual to complete before that can happen.

A musical inspired by the life of Alicia Keys and a play that loosely draws on the story of Fleetwood Mac — Hell’s Kitchen and Stereophonic, respectively — cleaned up at the 2024 Tony Awards nominations. Both received 13 nominations, more than any other show this year.

Hell’s Kitchen was nominated for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical (for Kristoffer Diaz), Best Direction (Michael Greif), and Best Choreography (Camille A. Brown), while its stars Maleah Joi Moon, Shoshana Bean, and Kecia Lewis all picked up acting nods. But despite its impressive haul,...

In a Broadway season bursting at the seams with new musicals, plays and revivals – 36 productions opened during the 2023-2024 eligibility window – it is not a surprise that the 60 Tony Awards nominators caught theatre aficionados off guard with some of their choices.

The biggest surprise of the morning was the overperformance of new musical “Water for Elephants.” Our users only expected it to earn one nomination, but it ultimately ended up with seven, tying “Merrily We Roll Along” and beating out musicals such as “Suffs.” Its unexpected bids include the top category of Best Musical, director Jessica Stone, book and choreography. The one bid we thought it would land for featured actor Paul Alexander Nolan didn’t actually come to fruition. Speaking of surprise director noms, Michael Greif – who worked on three musicals this season – broke through for “Hell’s Kitchen.” He ranked ninth in our combined odds.

With the announcement of the Tony Awards nominations on April 30, we now know the shows and performers in contention for the 77th annual ceremony. The 60 members of the Tony nominating committee recognized 28 of the 36 eligible productions across 26 competitive categories.

David Adjmi’s new play “Stereophonic” makes Tony Awards history with 13 nominations. This bests by one the previous record-holder “Slave Play” by Jeremy O. Harris, which earned 12 bids back in 2020. Its haul includes recognition for Best Play, Best Director (Daniel Aukin), five nominations for its performers and, rare for a dramatic work, Best Original Score for Will Butler and Best Orchestrations for Butler and Justin Craig.

“Hell’s Kitchen,” a loosely biographical work on the early life and featuring the music of Alicia Keys, leads all musicals and musical revivals with 13 nominations. In addition to a Best Musical nom, the show...

Daniel Radcliffe’s post-“Harry Potter” career has long been dominated by his theater work, both in New York and London. On April 30, he finally scored his first Tony nomination, for his role in the musical “Merrily We Roll Along.”

Radcliffe’s buzzy stage work began in 2007 with a run in “Equus” on both sides of the pond. He powered a delightful, blockbuster revival of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” in 2011 (Grammy nomination), and since then, he has chosen an eclectic mix of projects, work where his name alone can often get challenging — or even just serious — work funded. Think the occasionally dense “The Cripple of Inishmaan,” the provocative “Privacy,” or the genre-bending experiment “The Lifespan of a Fact.” He’s long been an asset to the NY stage scene, and this morning’s recognition long-deserved.

Radcliffe landed another perfect part playing Charley Kringas in the buzzy...

Broadway fans: the 2024 Tony Award nominations are finally here!

Welcome to Tony Talk, a weekly column in which Gold Derby contributing theater editors Sam Eckmann and David Buchanan discuss the Tony Awards race. With less than a week to go before nominations for the 77th Tonys are announced, we discuss the recently-opened and raved-about new play “Stereophonic” and consider how many of its performers might earn nominations in those challenging Featured Actor and Actress races.

David Buchanan: Hey Sam! We are officially less than a week away from the Tony nominations, and now that we have a tiny bit more clarity on the Best Musical race as shows like “Suffs” and “Hell’s Kitchen” have opened, I’m starting to really fret those pesky featured performer categories. A lot of shows this season are large ensemble pieces; last week, for example, saw the opening of the terrific play “Stereophonic,” which has an impeccable seven member ensemble. But I don...

Stereophonic, David Adjmi’s Broadway play about a ’70s Fleetwood Mac-type group, has announced a six-week extension following a slew of rave reviews.

Initially set to close July 7, the play, directed by Daniel Aukin and starring Will Brill, Juliana Canfield, Eli Gelb, Tom Pecinka, Sarah Pidgeon, Chris Stack and Andrew R. Butler, will now play through August 18.

The extension was announced by producers Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Seaview, Sonia Friedman Productions, Linden Productions, and Ashley Melone & Nick Mills.

Producers also recently announced that Stereophonic, which features songs composed by Will Butler, will release an original cast recording through Sony Masterworks Broadway. The digital album arrives May 10, 2024, with the physical CD release set for June 14.

The Broadway play Stereophonic is officially open and it’s expected to be the big hit of the season!

Juliana Canfield, best known for her work on HBO’s Succession, is a member of the ensemble cast and she walked the red carpet at the opening night show on Friday (April 19) at the Golden Theatre in New York City.

The cast also includes Tom Pecinka, Sarah Pidgeon, Eli Gelb, Andrew R. Butler, Chris Stack, and Will Brill.

Juliana was supported by her Succession castmates J. Smith-Cameron, Zoe Winters, and David Rasche at the opening night performances.

Some of the other celebs in attendance included Rachel Brosnahan, Sadie Sink, Louisa Jacobson, Taran Killam and Cobie Smulders, Dylan Mulvaney, Common, and Christian Slater, among others. Check out photos in the gallery!

Stereophonic, written by David Adjmi, takes place in a music studio in 1976 as an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album...

In the new Broadway show Stereophonic, the year is 1976 and a band on the verge of superstardom is recording their next album in Sausalito, California. We never learn the band’s name nor do we hear the single from their last album that just shot to Number One a year after its release, but over three hours, we get to know the weaknesses, fears, anxieties and hopes of all five members — and the two rookie engineers trapped in the studio with them for the next 12 months.

Written by David Adjmi,...

Arguably the best new American drama since Annie Baker’s The Flick, David Adjmi’s Stereophonic shares both a hyper-naturalistic style and a sprawling three-hour running time with that 2013 masterwork. But the similarities end there. Chronicling a turbulent year in California recording studios during which a fictional 1970s rock band labors over the follow-up to their breakthrough album, this is an immersive plunge into the fraught process of artistic collaboration as pressures mount and interpersonal harmony dissolves into acrimony.

Funny, raw and poignant in equal measure, this expertly sculpted play has the feel of both a behind-the-music docudrama and a lost Robert Altman film, with its astute microcosmic focus, its frequent wash of overlapping dialogue and its sly nudges toward satire. In fact, while the music — fabulous original songs written by Will Butler, formerly of Arcade Fire — is pop-rock rather than country, Stereophonic could almost be an expanded vignette lifted right out of Nashville.

Stereophonic, the hit Off Broadway play about a Fleetwood Mac-esque ’70s rock band, will begin its Broadway transfer a day earlier than planned, with previews at the Golden Theatre now set to start on Tuesday, April 2.

All tickets for the added performance will be priced at $40.

“When I was a small boy, my mother took me to Broadway shows every other week,” stated playwright David Adjmi. “She could afford to do this only because theatre was so much less expensive back then. And those shows changed my life. In this spirit, we are excited to offer $40 preview tickets to Stereophonic. I am thrilled to be able to share our show with as many theatergoers as possible.”

The opening date of April 19 remains the same.

The additional preview date was announced today by producers Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Seaview, Sonia Friedman Productions, Linden Productions, and Ashley Melone & Nick Mills.

After a six-month break, American Horror Story is clawing its way back.

The 12th season in FX’s hit horror anthology from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk was split into two parts, an effect of the 2023 dual Hollywood strikes. The first five episodes of AHS: Delicate concluded in October 2023, and now the final four episodes will kick off weekly beginning April 3.

And the trailer (below) for the back-half of the season shows that viewers will finally get some answers around the mysteries swirling over the starring trio played by Emma Roberts, Kim Kardashian and Cara Delevingne.

The Satanic cult-themed new footage confirms that something is very wrong with rising actress Anna Alcott, played by Roberts, who is seen snacking on bones and imagining spiders crawling out of her pregnant belly.

The first half of the season saw Anna torn between her Oscar-level acting aspirations and wanting a family. In the new footage,...

FX has released the trailer for Part 2 of “American Horror Story: Delicate,” the 12th season of the long-running horror anthology, which was interrupted by the dual strikes last year. Starring Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts, Part 2 premieres April 3 on the network at 10 p.m. Et/Pt, and will be available to stream the following day on Hulu.

Part 1 introduced audiences to Emma Roberts’ character Anna Victoria Alcott, an actress who is trying to get pregnant but faces sinister occurrences during her journey to motherhood. Kardashian plays her aggressive publicist Siobhan. While the Part 2 trailer shows them kiss, the teaser also reveals that Anna will uncover some dark truths about Siobhan. “You’re a monster,” Roberts says to her in the trailer. “Oh no, babe. I’m so much worse,” Kardashian promises.

The rest of the cast includes Cara Delevigne, Matt Czuchry, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Maaz Ali and Juliana Canfield.

But he is shaken to his core when those in power, including his own brother (Imperioli), not only try to silence him—they try to destroy him.

“The Crown” is gearing up for its last hurrah at the SAG Awards, an organization that has bestowed a number of prizes onto the Netflix regal show over the years. It claimed the highly coveted TV drama ensemble prize twice (2019 and ’20), while individual winners through the years were Claire Foy (2016 and ’17), John Lithgow (2016) and Gillian Anderson (2020). Now the sixth and final season is hoping to prevail for a third time, which would tie it with “Downton Abbey” in this category at three total wins.

Season 6 faces off in the TV drama ensemble race against fellow nominees “The Gilded Age,” “The Last of Us,” “The Morning Show” and “Succession.” Elizabeth Debicki is “The Crown’s” only solo acting nominee this year, with her co-nominees in the TV drama actress category being Jennifer Aniston (“The Morning Show”), Bella Ramsey (“The Last of Us”), Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”) and Sarah Snook (“Succession”).
