Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are expanding their family. The former Game of Thrones star told Elle UK that she and the Jonas Brothers singer will welcome a sibling for their 20-month-old daughter Willa, and she couldn’t be more psyched. “It’s what life is about for me — raising the next generation,” said Turner, who will soon be seen in the HBO dramatic series The Staircase. “The greatest thing in life is seeing my daughter go from strength to strength. We’re so excited to be expanding the family.

Larry David Doesn’t Know Why He Hasn’t Been Cancelled Yet
This article is part of our coverage of the 2022 Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival. During an era of “wokescolds” on the left and free speech panic from the right, comedian-actor Larry David remains the same. It’s been 20 years since the first episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm aired, and David’s semi-fictional persona of a man with zero social awareness or ability to learn from his mistakes still draws an audience in the far more tense political climate of 2022. In fact, the long-running HBO series was recently renewed for a 12th season. In a conversation with fellow Curb alum Robert B. Weide at Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival in Los Angeles, the 74-year old comedian was asked to explain, basically, why his show still exists. “How have you not been cancelled? How do you get away with this?” as...
Jessica Biel Can’t Help Hulu’s Confused Candy Coalesce: Review
The Pitch: The story of Candy Montgomery is almost too gruesome and eerily-timed to feel true: On Friday, the 13th, one June in 1980, a pleasant, well-liked suburban housewife in a bucolic northeastern Texas town went over to her friend and neighbor Betty Gore’s house, and murdered her with an axe. She slashed her 41 times, 40 of them while her heart was still beating. Then, she took a shower in Betty’s home to clean off the blood, and drove back home to continue her day like nothing had happened… with Betty’s newborn infant crying in her dead mother’s home for thirteen hours before the body was found. Even crazier than that? Candy would end up being found not guilty. Naturally, it’s the kind of lurid true-crime story that would spawn not one, but two miniseries in our murde...
First Look at The Umbrella Academy Season 3 Introduces the Sparrows
Netflix has offered up a first look at the upcoming Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy, giving fans a preview of the Sparrows, who will serve as the counterparts to the eponymous superhero team in the new timeline caused by their detour to 1963 in Season 2. The returning six heroes of the Umbrella Academy are Tom Hopper as Luther, David Castañeda as Diego, Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison, Robert Sheehan as Klaus, Aidan Gallagher as Number Five, and Elliot Page’s rechristened character Viktor Hargreeves. In this alternate timeline, Umbrella Academy patriarch Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) is still alive, but he founded the Sparrow Academy instead. Not only that, but their formerly dead brother Ben (Justin H. Min) has no memory of the Umbrella Academy and instead is Sparrow Number Two...
The Sex Pistols Rage Against “Terribly Boring” England in Extended Pistol Trailer: Watch
“England’s terribly boring. Nothing ever changes,” a young punk bemoans in the extended trailer for Pistol, Danny Boyle’s upcoming Sex Pistols series. Enter Johnny Rotten and company, whose “I am an antichrist/ I am an anarchist” lyrics simultaneously pioneered punk rock and triggered a moral panic across their, uh, beloved UK. The new trailer for the FX series tracks the formation of the band, as Thomas Brodie-Sangster’s Malcom McLaren concocts the idea for a group based not on talent, but on pure spunk. “Whether you can play is not the criteria,” McLaren says. “It’s whether you’ve got something to say.” Of course, Sex Pistols fans know their whole anarchist ethos was more bad boy posturing than anything, so when someone asks Anson Boon’s Rotten (born John Lydon) what, in fact, ...

Better Call Saul Recap: There’s Proving and Then There’s Knowing
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 4, “Hit and Run.”] Case Summary After last week’s seismic installment, Episode 4 of Better Call Saul was a bit more easygoing, even if things grow more and more uneasy for everyone. As the old saying goes, it’s not paranoia if someone is actually out to get you, and while things actually do seem to be going pretty well for Kim Wexler and Saul Goodman, attorneys-at-law, Kim at least is not sleeping easy these days. The centerpiece scam this time focused on Jimmy and Kim’s ongoing campaign to ruin Howard Hamlin’s reputation, which pays off last week’s key-copying adventure. While a blissfully ignorant Howard sits down for therapy, Jimmy uses his duplicate key for Howard’s car for a wild little bit of sketch...
Andrew Garfield and the Under the Banner of Heaven Cast on Navigating the “Rough Seas” of Mormonism and Murder
When writer Dustin Lance Black first approached adapting the Jon Krakauer book Under the Banner of Heaven, it was as a potential feature film — an idea that the star-studded cast of the new limited series from FX now sees as laughable. In fact, star Daisy Edgar-Jones literally laughs a little when talking to Consequence about it: “It would not be possible. This is such a rich story, there’s so much to unpack, and fitting that into an hour and a half would not happen.” Clocking in at seven episodes, Under the Banner of Heaven is a true crime story of the darkest sort, tracking the investigation into the murder of Brenda Lafferty (Edgar-Jones) and her infant daughter in 1984. Starring Andrew Garfield as lead detective Jeb Pyre, the motivation for these murders, we learn, is tied up in the fa...

Challenge Lovebirds Kam Williams And Leroy Garrett Are Engaged
Kam Williams and Leroy Garrett may have met on Vendettas, but there’s no bitter quarrels going on between these two Challengers. In fact, the MTV stars just announced they are engaged! “The easiest yes I’ve ever said 💍💙,” the future Mrs. Garrett captioned the heartwarming Instagram post above. “One of our favorite quotes has always been to ‘Trust The Process.’ Sometimes I really sit back & look at how God works. To start out on a dating show to find love which I didn’t at the time, but it lead me to the love of my life. To years of you competing and us finding love on that game 🥰. We both found something that we didn’t go looking for & that just came naturally. We aren’t perfect & I wouldn’t trade any of our ups & ...
