The characters of the ship’s helmsman and doctor will be featured in the last episode of the current season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. This casting news comes before the release of Season 5, which is anticipated in 2026.

Natasha Lyonne recently shared with The Hollywood Reporter her vision for a potential third season of Russian Doll. She wants to take a similar approach to David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, specifically referencing Fire Walk with Me and Twin Peaks: The Return as a blueprint. She’s committed to structuring the season in that same non-linear and enigmatic style.

There are still two more seasons of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on the way, totaling 16 episodes. Season 4 finished filming in July 2025 and will be released on Paramount+ in 2026. Paramount+ has also ordered a sixth season, with six episodes, to conclude the series about Captain Christopher Pike (played by Anson Mount) and his adventures aboard the Starship Enterprise.

Although One Battle After Another is the director’s most commercially successful film so far, its huge production cost—around $130 to $175 million—meant it didn’t actually make a profit. Despite this, the film has become a major success this year, earning widespread praise from critics. Currently, One Battle After Another boasts a 95% approval rating on both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes.

I recently read an interview with the actress, and she talked about how tough it was early in her career being a Chaplin. She admitted feeling a lot of pressure and even guilt, worrying people thought she was only getting opportunities because of her grandfather, the legendary silent film star. But she eventually came to terms with her family name and now embraces it. She actually shared some really insightful thoughts – you can read what she said below!

The new Marvel Television series, Daredevil: Born Again, started streaming in March. It continues the story from the previous Daredevil series on Netflix, with Charlie Cox returning as Daredevil (Matt Murdock) and Vincent D’Onofrio back as Kingpin (Wilson Fisk).

It’s a bit disappointing that the documentary The End of an Era focuses so much on the business side of things, because overall, the series effectively demonstrates Taylor Swift’s idea that love was key to the tour’s success. The documentary shines when it shares stories about the dancers, singers, musicians, and collaborators who helped bring the Eras Tour to life. While some of their stories are dramatic, most are simply about dedicated professionals whose lives were transformed by the tour. It’s great to see them being recognized, both emotionally and financially, for their hard work. The fact that they’re still enthusiastic about the music after two years speaks volumes about Swift’s lasting popularity. When Swift gets emotional after performing “Marjorie,” a song about her grandmother, she reveals it was a conversation with a backup singer that moved her. The documentary, like the tour itself, is most powerful when it’s clear these moments still hold deep meaning for Swift.

CBS pulled a segment reported by Bill Alfonsi just three hours before it was scheduled to air, saying it required further investigation and would be broadcast at a later date. According to sources at CBS who spoke with CNN, CBS News president Susan Zirinsky objected to the term “migrant detainees.” The New York Times reported that Zirinsky had requested several revisions to the segment and wanted it to feature an interview with a key Trump administration official, such as Stephen Miller. CNN reported that Zirinsky explained during an internal CBS editorial call on December 22nd that other news organizations had already covered similar stories and that the public was already aware of the harsh conditions Venezuelans faced at the CECOT detention center. She argued that a 60 Minutes report on this topic needed more substantial reporting and should include on-camera interviews with key figures.
