The future of “MomTok” is uncertain after a tumultuous week. Taylor Frankie Paul’s planned season of The Bachelorette was canceled when TMZ released a video showing her physically assaulting Dakota Mortenson, her ex-partner and the father of her child, in 2023. They are also currently involved in a domestic violence case from earlier this year. Adding to the drama, fellow MomTok personality Jessi Draper is going through a divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura, a prominent figure on “DadTok,” and he has filed a restraining order against her. However, Draper seems to be looking ahead, possibly preparing for another reality show – she’s been practicing dancing with a professional from Dancing with the Stars on Instagram. As one chapter closes for these influencers, another, potentially on the dance floor, may be beginning.

Filming for the second season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is expected to finish in June 2026, which would allow for a potential release in 2027, according to Deadline. This schedule gives the production team plenty of time to complete visual effects and other post-production work, especially to create the detailed landscapes of the Reach.

It’s easy to see why studios quickly recognized Jason Momoa’s potential early in his career. He faced some important decisions that shaped where his career would go. Switching from Westerns to superhero roles turned out to be a smart choice. But it makes you wonder – what if he’d taken the part in The Magnificent Seven instead of the role he’s now famous for?

Miley Cyrus, Jason Earles, and Moisés Arias, the show’s main stars, were at the premiere held at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles. Several supporting cast members, including Shanica Knowles, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, and Cody Linley, also walked the red carpet. While it’s uncertain if their characters, Hannah and Lola, will interact again, Osment expressed gratitude to the audience, saying, “Thank you for welcoming me into your homes, and I hope to continue entertaining you for many years to come. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you, and I’m excited to continue working on another show I truly love.”

Following the pattern of past seasons, the latest installment of Black Mirror, Season 7, presents another dark story centered around gaming, though it doesn’t quite pull you in as completely. Episode 4, “Plaything,” explores how stories can affect those who are easily influenced. Ultimately, the episode delivers a compelling season finale, hinting at a new kind of disaster if digital beings ever become truly self-aware.

Sony’s choice to only release PlayStation games on its own consoles has sparked debate among gamers, with many disappointed they won’t be able to play them on other platforms. Despite the controversy, some believe the gaming world can adapt and overcome this limitation.

I strongly disagree with the judges’ assessment of this Elimination challenge. They seemed to think almost everyone failed, and I felt that was unfair, which is why I didn’t enjoy this episode. It felt like the judges had unrealistic expectations and were unnecessarily harsh – even mean-spirited – in their critiques. Were they hoping for brightly colored food? We already saw elaborate, colorful displays in the ‘Hook’ fantasy feast! Given the ingredients the contestants were provided, I think they did a good job, and it was disappointing to see them so heavily criticized when they didn’t really deserve it.

After returning to the boat from their evening out, Daisy confronted João about his use of pet names. Earlier, João had invited Daisy for a drink, but she was too tired, and Ellie – who wasn’t as bothered about being a second choice as Jenna – went instead, thankfully bringing chocolate. On the way home, Daisy also expressed her feelings to Eddy, then turned her attention back to Ben. Ben, wanting to avoid drama, asked Eddy what happened, and Eddy admitted he’d likely ruined any chance with Daisy. Ben pointed out that Daisy wouldn’t have reacted so strongly if there hadn’t been something there, which worried Eddy. Luckily, Eddy seems to take things at face value and plans to learn from his mistake, hoping Jenna will eventually forgive him.

Over the past two seasons of Mormon Wives, we’ve seen the couple experience many challenges in their relationship. Last season, Draper confessed to infidelity with Marciano Brunette from Vanderpump Villa, and also accused Ngatikaura of emotional abuse. Though they briefly separated, they attempted to reconcile in season four. However, Ngatikaura’s growing popularity as a leader on #DadTok seemed to create distance between them, ultimately leading to their recent announcement of a divorce.

This show feels like a more realistic take on Arrested Development. Instead of over-the-top, funny characters, the family members are fully developed people you genuinely connect with. Before Succession, I didn’t think a show like this could exist – especially one that still manages to be hilarious – but it absolutely delivers.
