description: The new project will follow a privileged woman whose husband of 20 years suddenly decides to leave her.
encoded: Gwyneth Paltrow is set to star in a massive new series based on a best-selling memoir – with Netflix landing the rights to the series. The streaming service won a bidding war for the upcoming project, which will tell the story written in Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage by Belle Burden. According to Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has agreed to a reported seven-figure deal to secure the screen rights to the story. Oscar-winning actress Paltrow, who was most recently seen alongside Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme, has agreed to come on board as both the lead star of the project and the executive producer. Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage follows the story of Burden, whose privileged life was shattered when, just a week into the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, her husband of 20 years announced he was leaving her. A successful lawyer, born and raised in New York by a wealthy family, Burden believed she had a happy marriage with her husband — that was until he suddenly asked for a divorce. Coming to terms with the sudden departure of her husband, Burden had to start a new life as a single mum-of-three. In 2023, she published an essay about her divorce, titled ‘Was I Married to a Stranger?’, for New York Times, which was later adapted into an episode of the column's podcast. Burden's full-length memoir later followed. When Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage was released in January this year, it hit the top of the New York Times bestseller list, and launched tense negotiations for a screen adaptation. Netflix won the bidding war for the project ahead of A24, Warner, Sony and Amazon, who were all reportedly in the running. It is not known when filming is set to begin, or when the project will be released. On top of Paltrow’s involvement, the script will be written by playwright Heidi Schreck, with Stacey Sher – whose previous work includes Erin Brockovich, Matilda and Pulp Fiction – on board as producer.

encoded: The Gypsy King is back. Tyson Fury has come out of retirement and is set to return to the ring to fight Russian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov later this year. Fury hung up his gloves at the start of 2025, following his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, but has recently teased a comeback and returned to training, amid fresh rumours of a long-awaited showdown with fellow Brit Anthony Joshua. Now, it has been confirmed that the former two-time world heavyweight champion will step back onto the canvas this spring to face Makhmudov in the UK. Watch Tyson Fury v Arslanbek Makhmudov on Netflix Netflix will have exclusive coverage of Fury's first fight on home soil in more than two years at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. "Excited to be back," said the 37-year-old after his return to the ring was announced. "Heart’s always been and always will be in boxing. Someone go tell the king that the ace is back!" RadioTimes.com rounds up everything you need to know about the Tyson Fury v Arslanbek Makhmudov fight, including date and UK time. When is Tyson Fury v Arslanbek Makhmudov?

description: An emotional true story.
encoded: Netflix is expanding its Untold catalogue, with a new documentary tracing the life of Lamar Odom, from his rise to NBA fame to his near-death experience. Told through never-bef0re-heard revelations and first-hand accounts, The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, provides audiences with an insight into the pivotal decisions throughout Odom's life that led to such devastating consequences. The feature-length film features interviews from Odom's ex-wife Khloé Kardashian, his former teammates, children and family members as they detail how the life-changing incident affected not only Odom but also them. Read on to find out more about what happened to Lamar Odom, as told in Netflix's latest Untold episode. What happened to Lamar Odom? In 2015, Lamar Odom was hospitalised after he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch brothel outside Las Vegas, following on overdose. Odom confirmed that he suffered from six heart attacks and 12 strokes, and was later place in a coma and on life support before gaining consciousness three days later, and was left unable to walk. Recalling the incident in the documentary, Odom explained after waking up from a coma he was "ripping tubes out of [his] neck". "I still got the scar from it," he said. In the months after his hospitalisation, his ex-wife Khloé Kardashian explained how she and his loved ones "were determined to get him walking and moving again". "It probably was harder for her, because I couldn’t say thank you, or I appreciate you. Or couldn’t show any — I wouldn’t even cry," Odom said in the documentary. Where is Lamar Odom now? Now 46 years old, Lamar Odom is sober and previously confirmed he had not consumed any drugs or alcohol since 28 January 2026. "All of my doctors say I’m like a walking miracle because it’s, like, medically impossible for somebody to survive 12 strokes and six heart attacks while in a coma," Odom told USA Today. "And so I just take it day by day, and I’m more than grateful for life." Odom made a return to televis…

description: The star behind that big finale death gave his reaction when speaking exclusively with Radio Times.
encoded: *Warning: Contains major spoilers for the Detective Hole season 1 finale.* The first season of Detective Hole adapts the fifth novel in Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole series, and the author told Radio Times this is because it is the story where "it all comes together". One story element which is brought to a close in that novel is Harry Hole's combative relationship with his colleague and nemesis, corrupt cop Tom Waaler. Waaler, played by Joel Kinnaman, meets his end in the finale after kidnapping the son of Harry's partner Rakel, Oleg. In a dramatic and gory moment, Harry traps Waaler's arm in an ascending elevator, leading to it being ripped off and Waaler ultimately dying of blood loss. "It’s a pretty iconic death," Kinnaman said of his character's ending, while speaking exclusively with Radio Times. "This is what I love about Jo's writing – he just doesn't have boundaries to his imagination." View Green Video on the source website He continued: "It can get really brutal and violent, and there's something that happens… he just takes it really far and you don't feel in his writing that he's trying to create shock for the sake of shock, but his imagination just doesn't have those sort of boundaries, which makes it shocking." While speaking with Radio Times, Kinnaman also spoke about what drew him to playing his "conflicted" character, and how he thought about him. "I sort of define him as a malignant narcissist, which, on the scale of psychopathy, is the station right before a sociopathic narcissist," he explained. "It's someone that doesn't have much empathy, and can act completely without empathy, but has the ability to sometimes feel it. I thought that was really interesting." Tobias Santelmann leads the cast of Detective Hole, playing the titular role, while Pia Tjelta, Ellen Helinder and Maxime Baune Bochud also star. Detective Hole is available to watch in full on Netflix now. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Me…

encoded: Robert Englund is heading back to Hawkins to voice a part in new animated spin-off series Stranger Things: Tales from ’85. The horror icon, who played Victor Creel in his older years on season 4 of the live-action mothership show, will voice a minor role in the new series called Cosmo. Details about Cosmo so far remain scarce, but the new Tales from ’85 trailer does appear to pay homage to Englund's Nightmare on Elm Street roots in the form of a Freddy Krueger cardboard cut-out. The new prequel show is set in the winter of 1985, between the events of Stranger Things' second and third seasons. It will follow the beloved gang of Eleven, Max, Mike, Lucas, Dustin and Will, who’ve all settled back into a quiet life of D&D and snowball fights - that is, until they’re plagued by a host of new monsters and tasked with unravelling a paranormal mystery terrorising their town. "Beneath the ice, something terrifying has awakened. Could it be from the Upside Down? From the depths of Hawkins Lab?" the official synopsis teases. "Or from somewhere else entirely? Our heroes must race to solve this mystery and save Hawkins in this new story set in the Stranger Things universe." Alongside Englund, Brooklyn Davey Norstedt appears in the voice cast as Eleven, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max, Luca Diaz as Mike, Elisha “EJ” Williams as Lucas, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Ben Plessala as Will, and Brett Gipson as Hopper. Jeremy Jordan will also feature as the voice of Steve, Janeane Garofalo as Anna Baxter, Lou Diamond Phillips as Daniel Fischer, Alysia Reiner as Karen Wheeler, Alessandra Antonelli as Nancy Wheeler, Valeria Rodriguez as Rosario, and Jack Griffo as Jeff.

description: Nesbø has adapted his own novel for the new Netflix series.
encoded: Fans of the Harry Hole novels were no doubt assured going into new Netflix adaptation, Detective Hole, by knowing that the series was written by the author of the books, Jo Nesbø, himself. However, they may have been surprised to learn that the series was kicking off with the fifth novel, The Devil's Star, rather than starting from the beginning. Now, speaking exclusively with Radio Times, Nesbø has explained that decision. "It's because it's the novel where it all comes together," Nesbø said. "Not only Harry as a character, but also the people around him, his relationship with Rakel being a mother with the son, and Harry’s relationship to the young son, Oleg. "But also, Oslo has become almost like a character in the novel. And that was important for us. That was one of the key decisions made, was to shoot it in Oslo and have Oslo being a character, not only in the story, but also visually. "So we made this Oslo that is the real Oslo, but slightly exaggerated. So we call it Oslo plus 10 per cent, which means the gritty side of Oslo is a bit more gritty, the glossy side a bit more glossy. So it's become like a Gotham City version of Oslo." View Green Video on the source website Nesbø was speaking alongside Tobias Santelmann, the actor who plays Harry in the series. Also starring in the show is Joel Kinnaman, who plays Harry's colleague and nemesis Tom Waaler. Throughout the first season, Harry goes head-to-head with Waaler, while also struggling with his own demons, and trying to catch a serial killer who has been stalking the streets of Oslo. Kinnaman also spoke with Radio Times, and he broke down his complex character who he called "conflicted". "I sort of define him as a malignant narcissist, which, on the scale of psychopathy, is the station right before a sociopathic narcissist," Kinnaman said.

description: Some of the best movies on Netflix right now include A Quiet Place: Day One, The Fall Guy, Marriage Story and Train Dreams. Updated weekly.
encoded: There's only a couple of months to go until this year's summer blockbusters start to arrive, but if you're already craving some spectacular movies then Netflix has you covered. Recently new to the streamer is John Krasinski's prequel A Quiet Place: Day One. It takes the premise of the previous two entries — 2018's A Quiet Place and 2021's A Quiet Place: Part II, which told the story of how the Abbott family survived after the sudden arrival of aliens that hunt using their sensitive hearing on their rural farmhouse in upstate New York — and changes the setting, following the citizens of New York City as the creatures first land on Earth. Lupita Nyong’o leads the cast as Sam, a woman who is on a day trip to New York City when the monsters arrive. When she's thrown together with a man named Eric (Joseph Quinn), the pair are forced to navigate the city together. Meanwhile, a collapsing marriage is captured in intimate, doleful detail in Marriage Story. Starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson as the fighting spouses, it will likely have you weeping with its cutting exploration of broken love. Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Noah Baumbach, the movie tells the story of Nicole (Johansson) and Charlie (Driver), who try and navigate a bi-coastal divorce while sharing custody of their young son Henry (Azhy Robertson). For something more uplifting, Netflix has also nabbed the rights to Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt's underrated 2024 gem The Fall Guy, which imagines a light-hearted conspiracy unfolding around the chaos of a typical Hollywood movie set. The charismatic leads prove to be well matched sparring partners, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson (28 Years Later), Winston Duke (Black Panther) and Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) among the wider cast. Read on for our latest picks of the best films on the streaming service right now – from recent releases like Anniversary and Train Dreams to classics such as The Untouchables and Falling Down – or head over to our guides to the bes…

encoded: *Warning: Spoilers ahead for Something Very Bad is Going to Happen episode 4.* As Netflix's new horror series, Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, hits screens, viewers may have been surprised to see a secret guest star appear midway through the series. Horror icon Victoria Pedretti makes an unannounced appearance in the show, which is executive produced by Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers, as Alexandra, as the mother of Camila Morrone's character Rachel Harkin, with episode 4 exploring a terrifying chapter in Rachel's family history. Starring alongside Logan Miller as a young Jay, Rachel's father, Pedretti was tasked with some of the most horrifying scenes in the entire series. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times, showrunner Haley Z Boston explained: "I'm a huge fan of her, and I think a lot of of horror fans are. "She's so brilliant, so great in this genre - the way she captures fear, and she's very good at externalising these very internal emotions. I was surprised that she agreed to do it, and she really elevated that character." In fact, Pedretti's performance even changed the structure of the entire episode, with Boston adding: "It was challenging to depart from the main story - and if you're going to do that, you really need to compel the audience with a different character, a different story. View Green Video on the source website "Victoria and Logan just did an incredible job and allowed me to to be able to structure the episode with, I think, 15 minutes of just their story. That's not how the script was written. It was supposed to cut back to Rachel, and because their performances were so strong, we were able to structure the episode that way." Pedretti is best known for her roles in Mike Flanagan's Netflix horror hits The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, as well as the psychological thriller You. Boston also added that fans will have heard Pedretti earlier in the season, as she voices the podcast in the very first episo…

encoded: Netflix subscribers tuning in to watch new Norwegian crime drama Detective Hole may be surprised by the presence of Hollywood star Joel Kinnaman in the cast. Although he has acted entirely in the US and in the English language for a long time now, Kinnaman is Swedish-American, and grew up in Sweden. He is now playing Tom Waaler, the corrupt Swedish cop who is the arch nemesis of Harry Hole, his colleague and the detective at the centre of the drama. Kinnaman sat down with Radio Times exclusively to speak about the "conflicted" character, who gets up to plenty of devious deed across the series and is never anything less than compelling to watch. When asked to describe Waaler, Kinnaman said with a heavy dose of sarcasm: "He's just warm, kind, and he's a good friend. He's a good friend, he takes his job very seriously, and he cares a lot about his society. And even though he doesn't have any empathy and he cuts off an occasional penis, he's a good guy. He's a really good guy." Asked how Waaler's relationship with Harry Hole develops, and how much fun it was working on that with Harry star Tobias Santelmann, Kinnaman said: "So fun. It's so fun playing this kind of character that's so conflicted. "He's sexually conflicted. He's morally without any real compass. His only real compass is his sexual drive and his ambition and need for power." View Green Video on the source website He continued: "But at the same time, there is also something underneath there that is a wounded child, that just wants to be loved and wants to be accepted. So it's all these things that are in there and working together in conjunction. And he is not clear of what's going on. Tom is not clear. "He's not like, ‘Oh, this is my goal, and I'm working towards it and I know what I feel about things.’ He is all over the place, but he's also very intelligent and competent and knows how to play power games really well.

encoded: After starring opposite Brad Pitt in the Oscar-nominated film F1, Damson Idris has now joined the cast of The Lords' Day, a new Netflix series adapted from the novel by Michael Dobbs. Dobbs, a Conservative politician and member of the House of Lords, is best known as the author of the House of Cards trilogy, which was previously adapted both as a BBC series in 1990 and as a US Netflix show which ran from 2013. Idris will also be an executive producer on the series, which comes from Bad Wolf, the production company behind the current era of Doctor Who, as well as shows such as Industry and Dope Girls.

Ben Chanan, the creator of The Capture and director of its first season, will serve as director and executive producer on The Lords' Day. The synopsis for the six-part series calls it a "fast-paced action thriller set at the heart of British power", and says: "On the State Opening of Parliament, British spy Harry Jones (Idris) finds himself inside the iconic building amidst a lockdown. "As the siege escalates, loyalties are tested and selfless sacrifices are made, leading to a desperate fight for survival where not everyone will emerge alive. Can Harry use his skills and training to be the country’s saviour?" As well as his role in F1, Idris is known for appearing in series such as Miranda, Casualty, Snowfall, The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror and Swarm, along with films such as The Commuter and Outside the Wire.

description: Showrunner Haley Z Boston takes us through that bloody final episode.
encoded: **Warning: Major spoilers ahead for the finale episode of Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen.** From the very off, Netflix's new horror warned us that Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen – but did you see that ending coming? The new series, executive produced by Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers, follows couple Rachel (Camila Morrone) and Nicky (Adam DiMarco) in the week leading up to their wedding, as strange happenings start plaguing the both of them. A horrifying revelation changes everything for them, however, and their wedding soon becomes a matter of life and death, with Rachel suddenly questioning everything about their relationship. Here's everything you need to know about that dramatic end – complete with a breakdown from showrunner Haley Z Boston. Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen ending explained: What happened to Rachel? While she initially dies from the curse, with it being revealed that Nicky isn't her soulmate, Rachel is resurrected and takes on the mantle of The Witness. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times about that twist, showrunner Boston said: "It was important to me that Rachel was active in the finale and that, even after making her decision, she has to recalibrate, and she gets another chance to make another decision [about whether to marry Nicky]. "And she says no, but of course, I didn't want her to die. That would have been so bleak! Ultimately, by becoming the new Witness, she is reborn. "It's a break-up story, so she gets to leave with this freedom and this new life. And that's kind of how it feels to leave a relationship. It's bittersweet, and obviously you're leaving some hurt people in your wake. "But she's triumphant at the end, and she chooses herself, and that was important to me." Earlier in the season, it was revealed that Rachel and her entire bloodline have been plagued with a curse when it comes to getting married. If they are proposed to, either they marry their soulmate or they die. If they choose not to g…

encoded: **Warning: Spoilers ahead for Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen.** With Netflix's new horror series, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, exploring our very worst fears about soulmates and committing to the wrong person, all eyes are on whether there will be a season 2. The series, executive produced by the Duffer Brothers, marking their first project since the end of Stranger Things, sees Camila Morrone's Rachel faced with an increasing sense of dread as her wedding to Adam DiMarco's Nicky approaches. The reason she's so on edge is revealed mid-season (with a scene featuring an unexpected guest star!), and culminates in a very dramatic and blood-soaked finale. But what, if anything, is next for her? Radio Times spoke to showrunner Haley Z Boston to find out. Will there be a Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen season 2? Currently, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen has not been renewed for a second season – but showrunner Haley Z Boston isn't fully ruling it out. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times, she said: "In my mind, it was always one [season], and it works as one. "I think it's a complete story. Of course, it is a bit open ended – there's a world where the show exists as an anthology if I would be lucky enough to be able to continue that [but] it's such a personal story to me. "I know that's kind of funny to say, because of what happens, but drawing from my own kind of fears, that's what excites me as a filmmaker. So I think I would need to kind of figure out what my next existential fear is in order to continue!" Who could star in a Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen season 2? If the show does return, it sounds like it would be an entirely different cast. Considering how it ended, there's the possibility that Camila Morrone's Rachel Harkin could be back – however, as Boston says, her story may be at an end.

description: The Party is back in action.
encoded: A first-look trailer for the upcoming animated Stranger Things spin-off series shows the all-new monsters our beloved heroes will be up against. First announced in April last year, Stranger Things: Tales From '85 is set in the winter of 1985 (as the title suggests), between the events of Stranger Things' second and third seasons. It follows the beloved gang of Eleven, Max, Mike, Lucas, Dustin and Will, as they face new monsters and unravel a paranormal mystery terrorising their town. The official synopsis reads: "In the winter of 1985, snow blankets the town and the horrors of the Upside Down are finally fading. Our heroes Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max have settled back into a normal life of D&D, snowball fights, and quiet days. "But beneath the ice, something terrifying has awakened. Could it be from the Upside Down? From the depths of Hawkins Lab? Or from somewhere else entirely? Our heroes must race to solve this mystery and save Hawkins in this new story set in the Stranger Things universe." View oEmbed on the source website Now, fans have been given their very first look at the new monsters in the brand new trailer for the show. Alongside Demogorgons and Demodogs that fans are acquainted with from the original series, a new viney-looking monster that seems akin to Little Shop of Horror’s carnivorous plant, Audrey II, is introduced, along with a Demogorgon-looking creature that has a pumpkin for a head. Maybe it's the Halloween special? Whilst no names or details of the new monsters have been confirmed, Eric Robles, showrunner and executive producer, did tease some info of what we can expect from the new creatures. "Hawkins Lab science meets Upside Down matter," he said. "There's a chain reaction to the creatures that are in our world and the things that are popping up." Without the presence of Vecna and a giant world-saving storyline, Stranger Things: Tales from '85 goes back to being a cosy small-town horror show, reminiscent of the first few seas…

The series stars Tobias Santelmann in the title role, while Joel Kinnaman plays his colleague and nemesis, corrupt cop Tom Waaler. They spar across the episodes, while also trying to bring down a serial killer on the loose in Oslo. But, given Nesbø has written plenty of books from which the series can draw inspiration, will there be a second season on the way? Read on for everything you need to know about the potential for a Detective Hole season 2. Will there be Detective Hole season 2? We don't yet know whether there will be a Detective Hole season 2, as it will likely depend on viewing figures for the show's first run. However, the team behind the show, including Nesbø and Tobias Santelmann, have expressed interest in returning if the opportunity arises, and there are certainly more Harry Hole books to be adapted. There are currently 13 novels in Nesbø's series in total, with only the fifth, The Devil's Star, and elements of the stories leading up to it, having currently been used in the Netflix show thus far. We will keep this page updated as and when we get any more updates on the show's future. When would a potential Detective Hole season 2 be released? It's hard to say when a potential Detective Hole season 2 would be released on Netflix, given that the show hasn't actually been renewed yet. At the moment, we can only look to the production timeline of the first season for guidance, which was announced in March 2024, before camera started rolling in May of the same year. It then took nearly two years for the season to be released, meaning that if season 2 follows a similar timeline, we could have a wait on our hands. At this point, a 2028 release date might seem most likely - however, we will make sure to update this …

Based on the fifth book in the Harry Hole series, The Devil's Star, this season sees Harry trying to take down a serial killer operating in Oslo, while also exposing the criminal acts of his nemesis and colleague, Tom Waaler. But did Harry succeed in bringing down Waaler in the end, and what happened to him? Plus, who was the serial killer terrorising the streets of Oslo? Read on for everything you need to know about the ending of Detective Hole season 1. Detective Hole ending explained: Who was the killer? In the penultimate episode of Detective Hole, it was revealed in a shocking twist that the killer was actually Willy Barli, the husband of Lisbeth. Harry had found this out because seeds found under Lisbeth's fingernail, on the finger that had been chopped off, came only from a cafe Willy had visited the same day it was found. Harry deduced that Willy had killed her, chopped off her finger and put it up his anus after she had died, rather than her putting it up there herself before, as he had claimed. He had found out his wife had started an affair with Martin Aminov on their honeymoon, and had determined to make them both pay by killing Lisbeth and framing Aminov for the murder. He also killed three others and added rituals to the proceedings, so as to detract attention away from himself – if it was just Lisbeth that was killed, he would have been the prime suspect, but the presence of a serial killer muddied the waters. Aminov had previously tried to sell the Barlis a star-shaped diamond, so Willy had said he was in the marked to buy multiple of then, in order to find Aminov. Aminov dropped the diamonds off at a discreet location for Barli at specified times, so the latter could ensure the former wouldn't have an alib…

From the director who brought audiences The Greatest Night in Pop, this documentary offers rare behind-the-access to the group as they work through their doubts and share moments of laughter and rediscovery. As per Netflix, the documentary will follow the band as they contemplate how to begin again, wrestle with honouring the past and redefine an ever-evolving identity as they grow as artists and global icons. "I did not try to tell the entire story of BTS," director Bao Nguyen said of the documentary, "I tried to understand what this particular moment meant to them and what story could be found inside that. "What I kept seeing, just through observation and listening, was a brotherhood formed through creativity and through proximity, through living together, working together, growing up together, and carrying an emormous weight together." So, after their recent comeback performance, when can audiences tune into the documentary? Read on for everything you need to know. What time is BTS: The Return streaming on Netflix?

description: She could have been one of the show's most loved characters!
encoded: Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan has revealed that she missed out on a huge role in the hit Netflix show Stranger Things. The Irish actress disclosed that she auditioned for the role of Robin Buckley in the globally successful sci-fi show, the quick-witted fan favourite character who was ultimately played by Maya Hawke. "It would be being generous to myself to say I narrowly missed out on it," she admitted on Capital Radio to host Siân Welby. "I did a first round audition for Stranger Things to play Robin, which Maya Hawke then played." She reflected on missing out on the role with humour and went on to praise Hawke's rendition of the character, adding that she was definitely the right choice for the role. "You know you watch a show and you go 'Well thank God I didn't get that because I would have been way worse!' "I don't think I was anywhere close to being in Stranger Things but I did audition," she confessed candidly. Robin Buckley was introduced in season three of Stranger Things as a colleague of Joe Keery’s character Steve Harrington at the ice cream shop he worked at. She quickly became a fan-favourite character thanks to her quick wit and humour, as well as the onscreen chemistry between the two actor. Although it was not Maya Hawke's first acting role, the Netflix hit launched the 27-year-old daughter of Hollywood actors Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke into stardom. Missing out on the role has not been a detriment to Nicola Coughlan's career though, and she's since gone on to star in a Netflix series of her own — Bridgerton, as Penelope Featherington, aka Lady Whistledown. She is also known for portraying Clare Devlin in the wildly funny Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls, Maggie in the dark comedy-drama series Big Mood, and also plays Silky in the upcoming film adaptation of the book The Magic Faraway Tree. Stranger Things and Bridgerton are both available to stream on Netflix. Add Stranger Things to your watchlist on the Radio Times: What to Watch app – download now…

encoded: Dick Wolf's Homicide is returning for a second season in New York – offering audiences an insight into some of the most notorious crimes in the city. In each episode, an elite team of NYPD detectives relive the homicide investigations that defined their careers, and season 2 opens with the murder of Joey Comunale. In 2016, Joey Comunale was reported missing by his father. Investigators went to the apartment where he was last seen, where they found evidence of foul play. But what exactly happened to Joey Comunale? Read on for the full story. Who was Joey Comunale? Joey Comunale was a 26-year-old Hofstra University graduate from Stamford, who had travelled to New York City for a night out. What happened to Joey Comunale? Joey Comunale was partying at a nightclub in New York City, before heading to an after party with James Rackover, his friend Lawrence Dilione and three girls they had met earlier that night. Surveillance footage showed Comunale entering an apartment building in the Upper East Side before leaving with Dilione and the three women. A short while later, he was seen re-entering the building with Dilione. After that point, he wasn't seen again. While at the apartment, Joey was stabbed and killed. A medical examiner determined that the cause of death was multiple stab wounds to the torso. His body was then stuffed into a car boot. He was found in a shallow grave in New Jersey after being burned. When questioned by the police, James Rackover said he had hosted a party at his apartment, which Dilione, a number of women, and a man he didn't know attended. He said that he didn't know what happened to the man who came to the party. Detectives then questioned Dilione, who told them (via ABC): "I know James. He lives in Apt. ___ of 418 East 59th Street. I went with Joey to a party that James threw in his apartment ___ on November 13, 2016. We took Joey's body to Oceanport, New Jersey and we buried it in a vacant lot." Dilione then showed investigators where the bod…

encoded: Maya Hawke is set to star in the new Netflix "multi-generational drama" series The God of the Woods. The actress, who rose to fame playing Robin Buckley in the globally popular Stranger Things, will join the cast as a series regular, playing Judy Luptack, the first female investigator in the male-dominated Bureau of Criminal Investigation, who is assigned to unravel the disappearance of the young girl. The God of the Woods is set in the Adirondacks, a mountain range in America, and explores the Van Laar family’s dark secrets, class tensions, and the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of 13-year-old Barbara Van Laar from her family’s summer camp – in the wake of an earlier family tragedy that may be related.

Moore herself will act as one of the series showrunners, writers, and executive producers, alongside Liz Hannah (The Girl from Plainville, Mindhunter, The Post). Speaking to Netflix, Moore and Hannah said: "We love making TV and can’t wait to bring The God of the Woods to life with our partners at Sony and Netflix. "We hope everyone falls in love (and hate) with these characters as much as we have."

Peaky Blinders creator reveals why a Tom Hardy return was considered - and why it didn't happen

description: Peaky Blinders creator and writer Steven Knight has opened up about Alfie's absence from the new movie.
encoded: Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the new movie sequel to the six-series hit TV show, came to Netflix recently, with Cillian Murphy reprising his role as gang leader Tommy Shelby opposite a cast including Barry Keoghan, Tim Roth, and Stephen Graham. The film picks up Tommy's story and brings him into the midst of the Second World War, where he finds himself involved with stopping the real life Nazi scheme known as Operation Bernhard. Despite the returning faces, some viewers were disappointed that Tom Hardy's character, Alfie Solomons – a fan favourite from the series - did not appear in The Immortal Man. And now series creator and writer of every episode plus the movie, Steven Knight, has revealed that he had further plans for Alfie at one point, but they were not to be. View Green Video on the source website According to The Hollywood Reporter, Knight had conceptualised a twist on Hardy's character, who was shot in the face in the fourth season of the TV series only to reappear during the next run. Knight explained: "I had an idea, which I haven’t really spoken about. Ever since he was shot on the beach at Margate, you’ve only ever seen Tommy and Alfie together alone. "I thought, Maybe he appears, and we realise he’s been dead all that time. Now, I nearly did that, and I didn’t do it, but that was a thought." Speaking about the fact that Paul Anderson's Arthur Shelby also did not return, Knight emphasised "What I’ll say is that the story determines the cast, and the story was set." Clearly, neither Alfie nor Arthur would have fit into what Knight wanted to do with The Immortal Man. There had been a popular theory circulating amongst fans of the TV show in its latter two seasons that Alfie was merely a figment of Tommy's imagination, so it's interesting to hear Knight explain that this almost became canon. Fan disappointment in the lack of Alfie is understandable – Hardy had revealed in an interview with <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?id=489797&clickref=r…

description: And whether you need to see it all before Steel Ball Run.
encoded: Figuring out how to watch JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure in order can feel oddly daunting at first, especially now that Steel Ball Run (the seventh story arc in the franchise) has started on Netflix. Between the changing protagonists, the different subtitles, and the franchise’s habit of reinventing itself every few arcs, it is easy to see why so many viewers end up searching for the right JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure watch order — being sure that nothing important is missed. The good news is that the anime is much less confusing than its reputation suggests. Once you know how the series is organised, the canon order to watch JoJo becomes far clearer — and there is a simple way to tackle it without missing any of the big character moments or the stranger twists along the way. How to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in order For anyone wondering what order to watch the JoJo anime in, the cleanest answer is to follow the main parts in release order. The official anime portal lists the franchise across six numbered TV seasons, beginning with Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency in the first season, then moving through Stardust Crusaders, Diamond is Unbreakable, Golden Wind, Stone Ocean, and now Steel Ball Run. That means the canon JoJo order to watch is: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Steel Ball Run: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Do you have to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in order? To understand and enjoy each separate season of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, you don’t need to watch the show in the exact order before Steel Ball Run, but it does become slightly easier to understand the overarching story if you do. This is because each part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has its own central cast, its own setting, and its own immediate conflict going on as part of the plot, which…
