The BBC and HBO have released a first look at season three of ‘Industry,’ where money, government and class collide.
Fans are set to be plunged back into the unrelenting world of high finance in the new season, created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay and made by Bad Wolf, airing later this year in the UK on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
The series gives an insider’s view of the black box of high finance following a group of young bankers as they forge their identities within the pressure cooker environment and sex and drug-fuelled blitz of international bank Pierpoint & Co’s London office.

Plenty of tension has surrounded this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, with much of it centered around the inclusion of Israeli performer Eden Golan and her song “Hurricane.” Golan’s performances in the days ahead of Saturday night’s final were met with a healthy amount of booing from audience members opposed to the Israeli-Hamas war — and many fans have accused the show’s organizers of using anti-booing measures to drown out the sound of boos during the finals.
In a video shared by @willthefirst, boos are easy to hear as Golan took the stage Saturday night. He wrote, “A reminder that what you’re seeing on TV for Israel is not representative of what people Actually think #Eurovision.”

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for Emily Henry’s new romance novel, “Funny Story,” released April 23.
“Happy Place” and “Book Lovers” author Emily Henry’s latest book “Funny Story” starts with its two leads, Daphne and Miles, sharing one very humorless tale: being left by their respective partners, Peter and Petra, a pair of childhood best friends who have realized their love for each other.
And then Daphne gets kicked out of her house and has to move in with Miles, so Petra can move in with Peter.
Despite the double-heartbreak setup, Henry uses her rom-com writing chops to bring these two jilted lovers into their own love story, with Daphne and Miles blurring the lines of their new roommate dynamic when they start pretending to be a couple to get back at their exes.

“She’s really good at honoring the original language and the original story while also sewing in the needs of today’s audience,” reflects Caleb Eberhardt on what is so unique about Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Herzog’s adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play “An Enemy of the People.” The actor plays the crucial role of Hovstad, the editor of a local newspaper in the Norwegian town where the drama takes place who has to make an important decision when his friend, Dr. Stockmann (Jeremy Strong), has alarming news about the safety of the town’s waters. Watch our exclusive video interview above.
One of the facets of Herzog’s work that Eberhardt appreciates most is her collaboration on the crafting of his character. “I particularly have a big reverence for her because of her willingness to hear my specific perspective in making Hovstad a Black man in the...

X-Men ’97 dropped its latest episode, Lifedeath – Part 2, and fans have plenty to discuss in Marvel discussion forums. However, one character’s appearance may have a significant impact on the series. The episode provides a first look into a major villain with blood ties to the leader of the X-Men, Cyclops. While Scott and Alex were believed to be the only Summers brothers, Marvel Comics introduced a third one, Gabriel Summers aka Vulcan, in X-Men: Deadly Genesis.
Gabriel Summers aka Vulcan in X-Men ’97
Gabriel is the troubled Summers brother, who has no idea of his birth parents or Scott. Katherine Summers was pregnant when the Summers were abducted by D’Ken of the Shi’ar throne world. Katherine was killed and the fetus was placed in an incubator, which accelerated his growth to adolescence.

Petra Flannery, recently featured on THR’s 2024 Celebrity Power Stylist List, has launched two new collaborations.
Working as a team with her sister Meehan, Flannery — whose clients include Emma Stone, Zoe Saldaña and Reese Witherspoon — has partnered with Lafayette 148 to launch “Classic 148: The White Shirt Project,” as well as with sustainable fine jewelry company Vrai for a recycled gold collection.
The Vrai collaboration ($1,900-$16,800) features California-inspired designs that “transcend time and trends,” the brand said in a release.

This article contains spoilers about the 2024 Broadway production of “An Enemy of the People.”
There will likely be few scenes this Broadway season more harrowing than the climax of Sam Gold’s “An Enemy of the People,” in which a town hall meeting called by Dr. Thomas Stockmann devolves into verbal and physical assault. In the aftermath of the scene’s brutality against the Norwegian doctor, who warns his community that their waters are contaminated, actor Jeremy Strong emerges from a crouched position on the stage floor in the Circle in the Square Theatre, where he has huddled and shrunk his body down to withstand a torrent of blows. It is a visceral moment of live theatre, one that the actor commits to wholeheartedly and that the Tony Awards should nominate.
What leads up to that frightening display of ignorance and animus is made all the richer by Strong’s performance.

When climate protesters disrupted a performance of the An Enemy of the People earlier this month, Victoria Pedretti seesawed between siding with the activists or the agitated audience members. The play had reached a crescendo: The town’s doctor, Dr. Stockmann, prepared to discuss a potential pathogen in the town’s ground water before a dissenting crowd, when Extinction Rebellion NYC members captured the audience’s attention crying “no theater on a dead planet.”

It has only been 12 years since New York audiences saw a production of Henrik Ibsen’s classic nineteenth-century play “An Enemy of the People.” But unlike that last staging at the Manhattan Theatre Club, the version that just opened at Circle in the Square Theatre on Mar. 18 is a departure, thanks to the vision of director Sam Gold and a new adaptation of the text by Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Herzog. “Enemy” runs through June 16, the day of the 2024 Tony Awards.
Gold has attracted star-wattage to his remounting of the Ibsen play with Jeremy Strong in the title role of Dr. Thomas Stockmann, who uncovers that the spas that have made his Norwegian town a booming tourist destination are in fact highly contaminated and will cause many visitors to get sick and potentially die.

“No theater on a dead planet!” is a chanted refrain that does not appear in Henrik Ibsen’s 1882 play An Enemy of a People. Nor is it part of the 2024 English adaptation by playwright Amy Herzog, who’s preserved the play’s late-19th-century setting (and who also skillfully adapted A Doll’s House last season). But it was perhaps the most resonant line in the reviewed performance of this production, which, as has now been widely reported, was interrupted by a trio of protestors from the climate activism group Extinction Rebellion.
If you see An Enemy of the People—which, to be clear, you should—chances are that the disruptors will stay home for your performance. But this particular protest was so shrewdly timed, so thematically linked, as to have rendered it impossible for the audience to ascertain whether it was part of the production or not. It’s tough...

Whether or not the climate activists who interrupted a critics’ preview of Broadway’s An Enemy of the People last week persuasively made their “water’s coming for us all” message isn’t for me to say, but I will note that the disruption spoke very well for this production.
Amy Herzog’s adaptation of Ibsen’s 1882 classic about a Norwegian town doctor deemed “an enemy of the people” for his truth-telling about an environmental health hazard is smart, sharp and relevant. The science vs. commerce debate is uncannily current, as Herzog thoughtfully makes clear. Ibsen created an archetypal situation here — I’d be willing to bet a trip to the beach that Peter Benchley was more than a little familiar with Enemy when he created that spineless, shark-denying mayor of Jaws, and if the activists at last week’s show hadn’t already seen a performance of this production,...

In a clever trick that pulls us into the community about to witness the spectacular downfall of the public figure crusading for truth at the center of An Enemy of the People, a bar descends from above during the pause between acts, with theatergoers filing onto the stage to be served shots of aquavit while musicians and singers perform traditional Norwegian songs. Several audience members stay seated around the periphery when the action resumes. The house lights also remain up, giving us no escape from our complicity as town physician Dr. Thomas Stockmann, played with bristling intensity by Jeremy Strong, is pilloried with ridicule that escalates into physical violence.
Sam Gold’s crackling production up to that point has been deceptively traditional, handsomely staged in the round at the Circle in the Square, with a first act that sets the scene for festering conflict in the warmth and cozy domesticity of Stockmann’s home,...

Elena Avdija’s revelatory and nuanced documentary shines a light on the incredibly brave performers who face physical and emotional battles on and off screen
Travelling to film sets in France and the US, Elena Avdija’s revelatory documentary follows Virginie, Petra and Estelle, female stunt professionals who are at different stages of their career: fearless in their commitment to their craft, they brave countless battles both on and off screen. There’s a feel of the spaghetti western to how their names are introduced in big, splattery red letters while a guitar riff reverberates through the frame. They are, indeed, fierce riders in an industry still dominated by men.
The physical demands of stunt work, which includes everything from being pushed down a staircase to jumping off a building, are colossal. Still attending training courses, Estelle has to practise getting hit by a car or being held in chokehold.

Lowlines is a 100% independent, 100% female production that follows food entrepreneur Petra Barran as she travels solo through the Americas, meeting people with profound connections to the places they’re from.
Lowlines was recorded and conceived of by novice presenter and producer Petra Barran, who was instrumental in bringing street food culture to London in the noughties and has earned a global reputation for urban placemaking. After she found herself feeling pranged out by the grind of the business hustle, she bought a recorder and set off without an itinerary to record a podcast with no script, no studio and no production team.
The resulting bank of tape was raw, real and revealing about what it means to connect to the ground beneath our feet. Upon returning to the UK she sought out an award-winning production duo to craft it into a layered and exciting audio experience that brings each place that she visits to life.

Meanwhile, in 10000 BC, Gavin and Sam were rescued from captivity by Maya Schmidt, who revealed that this time travel was the result of an experiment conducted by the government, and Gavin was one of the test pilots in this experiment. Sam’s daughter Riley and Gavin’s son Josh were lost in a different timeline, while we have no idea where Eve could be.

In this episode, the characters repeatedly traveled back and forth in time, especially to the timelines of 2021 and 10,000 BC, which complicated the story while also managing to make it more interesting. In 2021, Ty managed to convince Gavin and Sam, as we have already seen in the previous episode,...

Previously, in La Brea season 3 episode 2, Ty traveled back to 2021, a few days before the opening of the sinkhole. He teamed up with Sam, who didn’t have any idea about the upcoming events. Ty managed to convince Sam to help him prevent the sinkhole from opening, but for that, they needed Gavin’s help as well. On the other hand, in 10,000 BC, Gavin and Sam teamed up to find Petra and Levi, who had been kidnapped by the military organization. To find Petra and Levi, as well as to know Eve and Josh’s location, Gavin needed to meet Maya Schmidt, the lady he used to work for. Let’s see if Gavin and Sam can find Maya’s whereabouts in the latest episode of this series.

NBC’s La Brea season three episode three opens in 2021 with Sam (Jon Seda) and Ty (Chike Okonkwo) having just laid out their strange and twisty tale of sinkholes, dinosaurs, and 10,000 BC. Gavin (Eoin Macken) isn’t really shocked about Ty’s bizarre time-traveling story, but he is surprised they think he can contribute to helping stop what’s going to go down in just a few weeks.
Ty believes that Gavin’s prior work with quantum physics at Ladera Air Base is connected to the sinkholes. Unfortunately, Gavin can’t get them into the base and knows zilch about a secret project because of huge gaps in his memory. Ty pleads with him to help anyway. Lives are at stake!

‘La Brea’ Season 3 Episode 2 Recap & Ending Explained: How Did The Group Scare Off The Pterodactyls?
In the previous episode of La Brea season 3, we saw Lucas as the newly elected leader of the group. He was concerned about his pregnant girlfriend, Veronica, with whom he wanted to raise their child in this timeline of 10000 BC. Meanwhile, Riley got injured by a T-rex, and Josh decided to take her to a futuristic timeline to have her treated properly. Gavin had visions of him working for a woman named Maya Smith, who was the leader of a military organization. Gavin and Levi decided to find Petra to learn more about his mother, but the people from that military organization kidnapped Petra and Levi. While Josh decided to travel forward in time, Ty wanted to stop him, but he was also transported through the portal and ended up in the timeline of 2021, a few days before the sinkhole opened.

NBC’s La Brea season three episode one threw in more dinosaurs, confirmed Veronica is pregnant, introduced a new pivotal player, saw the abduction of Levi and Petra, and ended with the disappearance of Ty, Riley, and Josh through two different auroras. Wow, that was a lot to absorb! Episode two of the final season picks up with Ty (Chiké Okonkwo) in LA just weeks prior to the appearance of the sinkhole, waxing philosophical about a trip he never intended to take.

Unfortunately, Gavin, Izzy, and Josh’s encounter with the T-Rex teased at the end of NBC’s La Brea season two isn’t the opening shot of season three episode one. Instead, the final season of the time-traveling sci-fi drama begins with Gavin (Eoin Macken) experiencing a pleasant memory before being snapped back into the reality of life in 10,0000 BC.
Gavin’s determined to get James’ laptop to work but isn’t having any luck. Izzy (Zyra Gorecki) is full of doom and gloom and won’t offer any help. The auroras are all closed, and there’s no way to get to Eve – even if they knew where/when she is right now, which they don’t.

Previously in La Brea seasons 1 and 2, we were introduced to the story following a giant sinkhole opening in the middle of Los Angeles that transferred people from the present era to the prehistoric age. In the midst of all this, Gavin Harris, the head of the Harris family, turned out to be a time traveler who could destroy the time travel portals and bring everything back to normalcy. Throughout the two seasons, a lot of events unfolded, and a lot of survivors lost their lives, but Gavin remained steadfast in his mission to find a solution to this catastrophe.
In the end of La Brea season 2, we saw Gavin’s wife Eve get separated from the rest of the survivors and transported to a different timeline. Scott, one of the survivors, met a little kid named Petra, whose mother used to be an important figure working for a military base in LA.

As though the fact that La Brea will soon be coming to an end wasn't sad enough, the opening scenes of La Brea Season 3 Episode 1 just came along and bummed viewers out even more.
Obviously, the action sequences and CGI effects were impressive, but coming as they did at the start of the show's final season, they served as a depressing reminder of what might have been.
With that sort of budget and a little time to mature, La Brea could have become the next great sci-fi and family drama. The current TV landscape is lacking in shows that combine elements of both genres. But hey, at least we can enjoy these final six weeks.
The stakes have never been higher in La Brea. Prior to the chaotic first scene of the season premiere, Gavin was mainly concerned with locating Eve, a task that became even more difficult when the dinosaurs destroyed the clearing.

NBC’s family adventure and sinkhole drama, La Brea, returns for its third and final season on Tuesday, January 9.
When La Brea Season 2 ended, Eve was transported to another timeline. Scott had befriended a young girl named Petra, who was tied to a military base, and Veronica and Scott learned that they were having a baby.
La Brea Season 3 will be an exciting ride. Recently, reporters attended a virtual press day to speak with Showrunner David Appelbaum and the La Brea cast about the upcoming season. Check out the interview highlights below.

It’s no surprise that La Brea Season 2 ended on many cliffhangers, paving the way for an exciting Season 3.
The problem was that the writers’ strike soon affected the series. While they quickly wrote and filmed a shortened final season, they have many storyline arcs to complete in only six episodes.
Eve’s decision to return to the portal room alone was rash, and viewers panicked as she was sucked away through the portal to an unknown timeline.
With La Brea Season 3 only weeks away, we’ve started compiling theories as we prepare to enter the sinkhole with the Harris family and their friends.
Certain storyline arcs must be adequately addressed, or the devoted fanbase will be upset they didn’t get closure. La Brea has such a massive cast, so it may not be easy to include everyone, and it looks like they’ve added some additional characters, too.

Beta Film has announced a half-dozen sales to European public broadcasters on high-end period drama “La Storia,” which is Italian pubcaster Rai’s biggest event show of the year and is world premiering at the Rome Film Fest.
The sweeping eight-episode saga, set in Italy during the final years of World War II and its immediate aftermath, is based on a globally bestselling novel by the late great Elsa Morante, whom “My Brilliant Friend” author Elena Ferrante often cites as her primary literary reference.
Set mostly in Rome between 1940 and 1948, “La Storia” looks at fascism and Italy’s early postwar period through a female prism. Ida, a half Jewish widow with a teenage son named Nino, is raped by a drunken German soldier and gets pregnant with Useppe. The tale is centered on how she survives her predicament.

If you’re restless for the return of Karina Longworth’s You Must Remember This podcast, "Erotic ‘90s", then We Kill For Love: The Lost World of the Erotic Thriller may be for you. In many ways, Anthony Petra’s near three-hour video essay (even so much as to get the opening credit of “A video by”) is like the direct-to-video cousin to Longworth’s long-form audio series. And I don’t mean that as a pejorative. I hope the director wouldn't take it that way, either, given Petra’s desire to focus more attentively on the less fondly remembered, less glossy works of (largely independent) Hollywood eroticism that more often than not skipped theatrical exhibition. Instead they instead found money and eager viewers on the shelves of video stores and as late-night cable network fare across the country...

Caroline Wozniacki worked her way through a good first round opening win at the US Open , claiming the victory in straight sets.
Wozniacki made quite light work of her inexperienced opponent, beating World No.227 Tatiana Prozorova in a more competitive first set, before outstaying her completely in the second set. Wozniacki will recognise there are definitely sterner challenges ahead, but this is a great platform to build from.
Wozniacki hadn't featured in a Grand Slam singles match for over three years after initially retiring at the 2020 Australian Open, bowing out that day to Ons Jabeur in the opening round. However, since making the decision to return to competitive action , Wozniacki definitely feels like there is unfinished business in this next phase of her tennis career.

[This interview was conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike authorization.] If they’re lucky enough, some folks will go on to inherit a house, or even just a nice sum of money. But in Freeform‘s first-ever animated series Praise Petey, New Yorker Petra, a.k.a. Petey (voiced by Schitt’s Creek star Annie Murphy), inherits a cult. In the comedy series’ opener, Petey learns of her absentee father (Barry‘s Stephen Root) and then learns that he has died and left behind New Utopia, a cult outside of the tri-state area the size of a small town. And while everyone in New Utopia is anxiously awaiting Petey’s arrival so they can have someone new to worship, Petey decides she doesn’t want to run New Utopia the way he did.

When Freeform's new animated series Praise Petey premieres this Friday, you won't recognize any of the faces, but you'll certainly recognize the supersized talent behind them.
Prolific actor Stephen Root is among the actors who will use their voices to bring a wide array of characters to life in the new series by creator, writer, and executive producer Anna Drezen, a former head writer on Saturday Night Live.
We had the chance to chat with Root during a recent press day, and the pleasure was all ours. The interview was conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
There's no doubt that you are familiar with many of Root's roles over the years.
He's incredibly talented, and his acting chops tear apart roles in both comedies and dramas, but he leans heavily into the former, even when taking a dramatic turn.

Freeform has released the first trailer for its new adult animated comedy Praise Petey, which follows how one modern woman will manage her deceased father’s cult.
The two-minute first look teases New Yorker and “It Girl” Petra aka “Petey” grappling with her life turning upside down when she must move from her big-city life to a place called New Utopia. It’s a community her father founded, only it’s not like most. Here, everyone’s part of a cult. Even worse? They believe Petey’s their prophesized savior.
“You being here means the prophecy of the great daughter’s return is fulfilled,” John Cho’s character says in a southern twang.
“Is this town doing Ok?” Petey asks, before Kiersey Clemons’ character responds, “Nah, we’re starving.”
But Petey doesn’t want to fulfill the prophecy of the daughter returned. Instead, she wants to “girlboss” her way out...
The two-minute first look teases New Yorker and “It Girl” Petra aka “Petey” grappling with her life turning upside down when she must move from her big-city life to a place called New Utopia. It’s a community her father founded, only it’s not like most. Here, everyone’s part of a cult. Even worse? They believe Petey’s their prophesized savior.
“You being here means the prophecy of the great daughter’s return is fulfilled,” John Cho’s character says in a southern twang.
“Is this town doing Ok?” Petey asks, before Kiersey Clemons’ character responds, “Nah, we’re starving.”
But Petey doesn’t want to fulfill the prophecy of the daughter returned. Instead, she wants to “girlboss” her way out...

Freeform is tapping into a genre that hasn't aired on the network yet with Praise Petey.
The cabler went public with the trailer for its star-studded new series on Thursday, and it's poised to be a big hit.
"Petey aka Petra begins the series as an NYC' It Girl' with everything figured out, until her well-curated life comes crashing down," the official description reads.
"As luck would have it, a mysterious gift from her deceased father gives her a new lease on life – taking over as leader of his small-town cult New Utopia."
"As Petey leans into her new role as a 'girl boss,' she discovers what it means to be a leader and how to find her voice as she tries to modernize her late father's small-town cult."
It's a compelling hook for a series, but we're sure the biggest hook here will be the cast.

Human Resources is an adult animated series created by Jennifer Flackett, Kelly Galuska, Andrew Goldberg, Nick Kroll and Mark Levin.
From the “wicked” world of Big Mouth comes the second season of this very badass series that turns this (professional) mischief into something fun, at least for a few minutes. Whether one gets tired of it or not is up to the viewer.
Human Resources
Absurd and crude, great in some of its dialogues, reflective… Human Resources continues with its tone of ludicrous parody that mixes The Office with Big Mouth itself and that, yes, manages to amuse in a South Park style, with that humor that you either love or hate but that, at least, has the honesty to try, in its provocative style, many times, just for the sake of it.
And other times, perhaps not by chance, in that provocation it finds the perfect formula to tell us something totally coherent.

Wolfgang Hohlbein’s fantasy novel has been adapted by Amazon Prime, as the streaming platform just released the limited series The Griffin this week. Originally in German, the limited series has six episodes with a runtime of 40 minutes each. Based in the ’90s, the series showcases the adventures of three kids, Mark, Memo, and Becky, as they try to save the world from an apocalyptic creature called The Griffin. It’s up to these 16-year-olds to stop a winged monster from entering the realm of humans and capturing it, but how are they supposed to accomplish such a monumental task? Armed with magic weapons and an ancient book, of course. The show captures the ’90s vibe perfectly, with the old instruments and the music of that day and age, and the monster designs are also very impressive, although the story remains a little jagged around the edges. Here’s what...

This post contains spoilers for "Tár." This piece also discusses sexual assault, abuse, and suicide. Reader discretion is advised.
When Todd Field courted financiers to produce his screenplay about a world-famous fictional composer who fell from grace, he warned them directly on the page, stating that "this will not be a reasonable film." His 92-page screenplay somehow detailed a two-and-a-half-hour epic, with many long, lingering shots that feel deeply voyeuristic.
"Tár" is a complicated film dealing with painfully complex issues, introducing us to Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett), an incredibly famous composer and conductor who heads up the Berlin Philharmonic. She is wildly talented, charismatic, and a little terrifying, with the kind of larger-than-life presence that you can practically feel through the screen. She's also an egomaniac who uses her power to manipulate and sexually abuse the young women seeking her mentorship, even blacklisting those who speak up against her in any way after the fact.
