Paramount+‘s Tulsa King has released its official season two trailer.

Grant Ellis made waves when he was announced as the next lead of The Bachelor.

In the crowded true-crime media space, MrBallen has kept his approach pretty simple. He appears on his YouTube channel wearing a flannel shirt and backwards baseball cap in every video, speaking directly to his audience, as if he’s telling them a story. That style continues on his podcasts, where he notes that he never adopts a “dark and scary voice” to amp up the fear factor, though he does build the suspense nevertheless.

As a film enthusiast, I’m thrilled to see that not only is Colin Farrell reprising his role as The Penguin (under a heap of make-up and prosthetics), but this series is also giving significant limelight to its female characters in a genre typically dominated by males. In Matt Reeves’ The Batman, Farrell’s Penguin made an appearance during Batman’s (Robert Pattinson) pursuit of The Riddler (Paul Dano). This upcoming eight-episode miniseries is being masterfully directed by showrunner Lauren LeFranc. It’s a rare occurrence to find women in such creative leadership roles within the crime genre, let alone in Hollywood projects as a whole. LeFranc has seized this opportunity to amplify the impact of her female characters.

In the unfortunate pattern of the Hargreeves siblings’ lives, “The Umbrella Academy” Season 4 brings about another significant shift in their circumstances. For Luther “Spaceboy” Hargreeves, portrayed by Tom Hopper, this transformation goes beyond a general de-powering within the family. Additionally, he has tragically lost his wife and member of the Sparrow Academy from an alternate universe, Sloane Hargreeves (Genesis Rodriguez).
