The world of Doctor Who is one of boundless imagination, where the limits of time and space are pretty much non-existent due to the timelessness of the Doctor. However, when it comes to the fandom, pleasing the fandom can be just as complex and tumultuous as the time vortex itself. Every time there is supposed to be a new doctor, there are more chances of it becoming a polarizing event rather than the one fans would be appreciative of.

So, while in recent years, Jodi Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa have been the ones to face such backlash over their casting, there was another actor who, after stepping into the Tardis after David Tennant, became the target of scrutiny for being too young for the role.

Young Jedi Adventures returned for a second season in August 2024, and I looked forward to it. Having gotten on board with Kai, Brightstar Lys Solay, and Nubs and self-identifying as a green-eyed adventurer with red hair like Nash Durango, I looked forward to seeing what came next.

Here are the 5 best moments of Young Jedi Adventures Season 2.1. Nubs-tacle Course

This short, released before the rest of the season, shows Nubs in a familiar situation. Nubs is my favorite for his tendency to work through discouragement and this was no exception. He tries his best to excel or even complete an obstacle course that comes easily to Kai Brightstar. He gives in to understandable frustration when persistence doesn't pay off. In the end, he is able to stay calm and use his trust in the Force to succeed but then refuses to do it again. I could definitely relate.

The British Academy has unveiled the results of the first round of voting across all 25 categories for the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards, with two very different thrillers leading the pack of longlisted features.

Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez,” a Spanish-language music-thriller that was picked up by Netflix in Cannes, has emerged ahead of the race with slots in 15 categories, including best film, director, leading actress and three in the supporting actress list. Meanwhile “Conclave,” Focus Features’ Papal mystery-thriller from Edward Berger set within the Vatican, has 14, including best film, director and leading actor for Ralph Fiennes.

Further down, a tight pack of films includes “The Substance,” “The Brutalist” and “A Complete Unknown” on 11 lists, “Wicked” and “Dune: Part Two” on 10 and “Anora” and “Gladiator 2” on nine. All, with the exception of “Gladiator 2,” are on the best film longlist. Ridley Scott’s epic return to the coliseum also missed out...

BAFTA on Friday unveiled its longlists for this year’s film awards with Emilia Pérez, Conclave, A Complete Unknown, The Brutalist and The Substance setting the pace.

Jacques Audiard’s Spanish-language musical tops the longlists (15), including leading actress and supporting actress mentions for Karla Sofia Gascon, Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez. Edward Berger’s Conclave follows with 14 nods, including leading actor and supporting actor for Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci, respectively.

After that, it’s a three-way tie between Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist, Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown and Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance (11). Sean Baker’s Anora is honored with nine mentions on the longlists, including for lead star Mikey Madison. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are included for their roles in Jon M. Chu’s Wicked, and Timothée Chalamet is among the leading actor list for his performance in A Complete Unknown.

Round two of voting kicks off Friday,...

Bafta has unveiled the round two voting longlists for its 2024 film awards, with Emilia Perez leading the way with 15 spots followed by Conclave with 14.

Eighty films have been longlisted across 25 categories, including the new children’s and family film award – the first new category at the Bafta film awards for five years.

It has been a marvelous year for Star Wars fans. Books explored new territory, comics took us to dark places, and the TV shows made us think and laugh in equal measure. Rather than fill in a blank for every standard award category, I thought it would be good to assign a special award for each project of 2024.

One of the first big adventures of the millennial era began with Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor Who. The sci-fi series was a formative part of the entertainment industry’s growth and evolution through the ’90s and as for the audience, Doctor Who remains an ingrained part of pop culture’s collective memory.

Meanwhile, Christopher Eccleston made the role his own by imbuing the Ninth Doctor with a trait that was individually characteristic of his personality. However, as a veteran actor, his foray into light comedy with a hint of political commentary came at a cost. At the time, Eccleston was not yet cracked up for the role of the Time Lord and keeper of the Tardis. And he knew it too.

Last week, Young Jedi Adventures received four The Children's & Family Emmy Awards nominations. It joins a respectful list of Star Wars animation that has received both nominations and awards from the Emmys. What other TV series have been honored by the Academy?

Here is every Star Wars Emmy Award win or nomination

As early 2013, Star Wars: The Clone Wars received several nominations and awards for both animation and children's programming for the Daytime Emmys. It was nominated 15 times during its run and won five times during that span. The wins included winning Outstanding Special Class Animated Program twice.

David Tennant, who has voiced the droid Huyang on The Clone Wars, Ahsoka, and Young Jedi Adventures, won Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program in 2013 for voicing the character during the series's fifth season.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a Doctor Who special, and a new one, “Joy to the World,” starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor and guest starring Nicola Coughlan, is set to arrive on Disney+ on Christmas Day. How will it compare to the rest? We’ll have to wait and see. But when TV Insider spoke with showrunner Russell T Davies and former showrunner and this special’s writer Steven Moffat, we had to ask which of each other’s Christmas episodes is their favorite. Moffat named “The Christmas Invasion,” which introduced David Tennant as the Doctor after the Ninth Doctor’s (Christopher Eccleston) regeneration in 2005, and for Davies, while he enjoyed “Joy to the World,” his pick was “A Christmas Carol,” Matt Smith‘s first holiday special as the Time Lord in 2010. It’s not just that Moffat considers “The Christmas Invasion” to be “a wonderful episode,” he explains.

David Tennant, star of Doctor Who and most recently, Rivals, will return to host the 2025 Ee BAFTA Film Awards.

The Scottish actor is stepping up to the task for the second year in a row, BAFTA confirmed, for the ceremony held at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, Feb. 16.

“It’s quite curious,” Tennant told The Hollywood Reporter about being asked to return to the role of host. “Because it’s not something I’d ever imagined I would be asked to do, or particularly aspired to do — it was one of those things that came out the blue. And you think I probably can’t say no to this, because it’s such a unique thing to be a part of.”

“When they asked me back, I thought, ‘Really, are you sure?’ But, you know, why not?”

It is a privilege to share Britain’s biggest celebration of film with TV audiences worldwide, and to recognize the extraordinary creativity of those who power the British and global film industry.”

When Ahsoka premiered on Disney+ in 2023, the audience loved it for its solid performances and thrilling storyline set in the Star Wars universe. The show focuses on the titular Jedi, who fights against a dangerous threat to the galaxy.

Jim Parsons’ career-defining role was Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory, a show that effortlessly combined awkward humor and brainy jokes. He played a socially awkward yet overly intelligent physicist and throughout his time on the show, he captured millions of hearts. At his peak, Parsons was earning $1 million per episode!

It’s an achievement that only a few could reach in the show business, but he wasn’t driven by money. He made surprising career decisions, like taking an exit from the sitcom that took him to marvelous heights. But throughout all this, his love for things that brought him joy did not diminish.

It's the most wonderful time of the year as Disney has released the full trailer for the Doctor Who Christmas special that doubles the Doctors!

When the BBC revived the iconic sci-fi series Doctor Who in 2005, Christopher Eccleston was cast as the titular time-traveling alien. The first season ended in a big twist with the Doctor regenerating into a new actor, David Tennant.

The producers decided to craft a Christmas-themed special, "The Christmas Invasion," to serve as Tennant's first full turn as the Doctor. It was such a hit that afterward, a Christmas Doctor Who special became a tradition, an extra-long episode to show the Doctor involved in some adventure at Christmas time. 

Some specials are stand-alone adventures, but others are quite important. The 2009, 2013 and 2017 specials all involved the Doctor experiencing another regeneration. Last year's special was the first full one for Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th Doctor and introduced Millie Gibson as his companion,...

Rivals will return for a second season. Hulu has renewed the British drama series after leaving viewers with a cliffhanger season finale. The show premiered on the streaming service on October 18th.

Inspired by the Dame Jilly Cooper novel, the Rivals series stars Alex Hassell, David Tennant, Aidan Turner, Nafessa Williams, Katherine Parkinson, Bella Maclean, Emily Atack, Catriona Chandler, Oliver Chris, Danny Dyer, Rufus Jones, Lisa McGrillis, Luke Pasqualino, Claire Rushbrook, and Victoria Smurfit. It is set in the world of independent television in 1980s England.

Peter Capaldi portrayed the 12th Doctor in 39 episodes of Doctor Who, from 2013 to 2017. His run was a mixed bag, but fans still look back on his era with good memories. And unlike previous Doctors David Tennant and Matt Smith, Capaldi has not reprised his role for a cameo since leaving, and he doesn't really have any inclination to do so.

What Capaldi has over other Doctors is a rich history of playing other characters throughout the Whoniverse. Way back in 2008, he played Roman merchant Caecilius in "The Fires of Pompeii," opposite David Tennant's version of the Doctor. And then a year later he played key character John Frobisher on spinoff series Torchwood: Children of Earth.

Given Capaldi's tendencies to keep coming back to Doctor Who, fans are hoping he'll one day make a triumphant return as the Doctor himself. In the Whoniverse, anything is possible. I mean, David Tennant returned...

It’s “Joy to the World” for Doctor Who fans this Christmas as Disney and the BBC unveil a trailer for the latest holiday special.

Featuring Ncuti Gatwa and Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan, Joy to the World follows the title character checking into a London hotel in 2024. She opens a secret doorway to the Time Hotel — discovering danger, dinosaurs and the Doctor. But a deadly plan is unfolding across the Earth, just in time for Christmas.

Gatwa of course returns as the Doctor. Coughlan, who is known globally for her role as Penelope Featherington in Netflix’s Bridgerton, has been trailed to be appearing in Doctor Who for some time. Others to feature include Steph de Whalley as Anita, Jonathan Aris as Melnak, Joel Fry as Trev, Peter Benedict as Basil, Julia Watson as Hilda and Niamh Marie Smithas Sylvia.

“Rivals,” Hulu and Disney+’s acclaimed drama about the ruthless British independent television industry of the 1980s, will return for Season 2, Hulu announced Wednesday.

The series is based on a 1988 novel by Dame Jilly Cooper, and tells the story of wealthy and ambitious entrepreneurs Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) and Tony, Lord Baddingham (David Tennant) as they build a network to compete with the BBC during the era of deregulation. It’s a witty and sexy show that has found an audience on both sides of the pond since its release in October.

“Nearly 40 years after my novel Rivals was published, I’ve adored seeing the world fall in love with my beloved characters — Rutshire’s Finest,” Cooper said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, referencing the series her novel is part of, the “Rutshire Chronicles. “And it has been a fairytale come true working with Happy Prince [part of co0269801 autoITV Studios...

Disney+ has renewed the outrageously entertaining British drama Rivals for season 2. More on the news below.

Based on Dame Jilly Cooper’s novel, Rivals has been quite a success for Disney+ and its American home Hulu. The 8-part first season is currently sitting at a very impressive 94% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, so it’s no wonder that Rivals has been renewed for another season.

“Nearly 40 years after my novel Rivals was published, I’ve adored seeing the world fall in love with my beloved characters – Rutshire’s Finest,” Cooper commented on the news.

She added: “And it has been a fairytale come true working with Happy Prince and Disney+ on the first season. I’m orgasmic with excitement and cannot wait for the return of my superhero Rupert Campbell-Black and the rest of the characters in season two!”

We’re rather excited too, Dame Jilly.

Rivals follows two men,...

Hulu announced today that the drama Rivals, based on the novel by Dame Jilly Cooper, will return for a second season. Following a dramatic, cliff-hanger ending, Emea Disney+ with Happy Prince (part of ITV Studios) has officially renewed the hit UK Original series for a second run.

Rivals Season 2 will debut on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ in the UK and internationally.

Rivals is part of Cooper’s bestselling “Rutshire Chronicles,” and is packed full of wit, romantic entanglements, sex and unforgettable characters. The story is set against the backdrop of the drama, excess, and shocking antics of the power-grabbing social elite of 1980s England in the ruthless world of independent television.

The series is executive produced by Dominic Treadwell-Collins, Alexander Lamb, Felicity Blunt, Elliot Hegarty, Olivier Award-winning playwright Laura Wade (The Riot Club), Rivals author Dame Jilly Cooper and for Disney+ Emea Scripted Content, Jonny Richards.

Ready for more tales from the Rutshire Chronicles? Well, the folks at Disney+ and Hulu certainly are. After winning legions of fans with its lethally entertaining cocktail of sex, scandal, soapy melodrama, and tack-sharp writing, Rivals — a titillating TV take on Jilly Cooper's bestselling, 80s set bonkbusters — has scored a Season 2 renewal from the streaming powers that be.

Beginning with Alex Hassell's bare backside and, er, climaxing with a doozy of a cliffhanger, Rivals kind of came out of nowhere and took us all by surprise as we suddenly found ourselves intensely invested in some period regional TV rights argy-bargy between ex-Olympic rider Rupert Campbell-Black (Hassell) and TV station controller Lord Tony Baddingham (Tennant). Now, we don't know when exactly Season 2 of Rivals will hit our screens, or indeed whether [Redacted] will return after [Redacted] bonked [Redacted] with [Redacted], but so long as we get more of Danny Dyer and Katherine Parkinson...

Good news, Jilly Cooper fans: Rivals has been renewed for a second season at Hulu, TVLine has confirmed.

Based on Cooper’s bestselling novel of the same name (which was originally published in 1988) and set against the backdrop of the drama, excess and shocking antics of the social elite of 1980s England, Rivals stars Alex Hassell (Cowboy Bebop) as Rupert Campbell-Black, an ex-Olympian and Member of Parliament who is described as “an incorrigible rake, and dangerously charismatic.” David Tennant (Good Omens) is also among the residents of the fictional English village called Rutshire who regularly battle, flirt and fornicate their way through life.

Phew — a second season of British drama Rivals is on the way. Walt Disney streamer Disney+ said on Wednesday that its critically acclaimed series, based on the novel of the same name by Jilly Cooper, will return for a second season after the first ended on a dramatic cliffhanger.

With a star-studded cast of Aidan Turner, David Tennant, Alex Hassell, Bella Maclean, Emily Atack, Victoria Smurfit, Katherine Parkinson, Danny Dyer, Nafessa Williams and Luke Pasqualino, the series has proved overwhelmingly popular with Disney+ viewers.

The story follows Cooper’s novel on the infamous scoundrel Rupert Campbell-Black (Hassell) and his rivalry with Tony Baddingham (Tennant) that seeps into the world of Baddingham’s Corinium independent commercial television station, located in the fictional county of Rutshire, the Cotswolds in southwest England.

Rivals is part of Cooper’s bestselling Rutshire Chronicles series of novels. The author said: “Nearly 40 years after my novel Rivals was published,...

Jilly Cooper drama Rivals will return for a second season.

Based on Cooper’s novel of the same name, the series is set in the Rutshire Chronicles universe and set against the background of the drama, excess and power-grabbing 1980s socially elite England, in the world of independent television.

In the U.S., Season 2 will once again stream on Hulu, while going out internationally on Disney+.

Season 1 stars the likes of David Tennant, Aidan Turner, Alex Hassall, Danny Dyer, Katherine Parkinson and Emily Atack, and was produced by ITV Studios-owned Happy Prince, which will return to make the second.

Cooper, who is an executive producer on the project, said: “Nearly 40 years after my novel Rivals was published, I’ve adored seeing the world fall in love with my beloved characters – Rutshire’s finest. And it has been a fairytale come true working with Happy Prince and Disney+ on the first season.

Jilly Cooper fans have reason to rejoice: “Rivals” is returning for a second season.

Based on Cooper’s bestselling “bonkbuster” of the same name, the series stars Emily Atack, Aidan Turner and David Tennant as residents of a fictional English village called Rutshire where they regularly fight, flirt and fornicate.

The book was first published in 1988.

Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger, with Cooper’s iconic hunk Rupert Campbell-Black (played by Alex Hassell) finally giving in to his feelings for his friend’s daughter Taggie (Bella Maclean), some 16 years his junior, and evil TV boss Tony Baddingham (Tennant) getting his comeuppance after violently beating his mistress and employee Cameron Cook (Nafessa Williams).

Last month Tennant told Variety he felt “very fortunate” to be part of the series, despite only taking on the role of Baddingham at the behest of his wife Georgia. “It’s happened a handful of times to me...

Known for his creative flair and business acumen as much as for his talent for throwing the best parties, French entrepreneur and producer Pascal Breton is celebrating a milestone in the 11-year history of his Paris-based Federation Studios. That is the launch of “The Agency,” the anticipated U.S. remake of “Le Bureau des Legendes” starring Michael Fassbender, which Federation executive produced alongside George Clooney and is co-distributing internationally with Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Federation Studios previously sold Eric Rochant’s smash hit spy series “Le Bureau des Legendes” widely, but retained the IP, allowing the outfit to make a lucrative deal with Paramount for the remake and remain in the picture as co-distributor and executive producer.

A disruptor at heart, Breton was vying for a career in academics after getting a PhD in political science with a prophetic thesis about how television has changed the rules of political life.

The world changed back in 2015 when Netflix’s iconic series Daredevil dropped. Creating a chain of events that went on to include Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, Finn Jones’ Iron Fist, and more, the world truly enjoyed these shows.

Although they eventually came to an end, fans rejoiced again when Daredevil: Born Again was announced. With some iconic characters returning (like Karen and Foggy), fans also want Krysten Ritter to reprise her role of Jessica Jones in the upcoming show.

Jessica Jones was the second...

Hit drama series “Rivals,” which debuted to great fanfare on Hulu and Disney+, follows the fortunes of genteel television boss Lord Tony Baddingham (played by David Tennant) as he fights to preserve his independent commercial television station Corinium.

It’s a drama that ITV boss, Dame Carolyn McCall, may well be watching closely. McCall, who has presided over the U.K.’s biggest commercial public service broadcaster (Psb) since 2018, is reportedly weighing up selling the media conglomerate, either in its entirety or piecemeal. The latter would see her spin off production arm ITV Studios — whose hits include, amongst other fare, “Rivals” – to the highest bidder.

Over the weekend, a well-sourced Sky News report suggested that McCall is open to entertaining bids, with a number of potential suitors holding “early-stage discussions” about throwing their hat in the ring. According to the report, these include Cvc Capital Partners and a European broadcaster...

Jessica Jones first premiered on Netflix on November 20, 2015, and quickly became popular. The first season earned a lot of praise, especially for Krysten Ritter’s portrayal of Jessica and David Tennant’s role as Kilgrave. The show’s dark themes and its focus on topics like trauma and abuse were also well-received.

Recently, Carrie-Anne Moss, who played Jeri Hogarth in Jessica Jones and other Marvel Netflix shows, shared her interest in returning to the role. In an interview, Moss said, “I loved playing her, one of my favorite roles I’ve ever played. I would, of course, love to play her again.“

Hogarth, a tough and determined lawyer, appeared in Jessica Jones as well as Daredevil, Iron Fist, and The Defenders.

Despite her interest, Moss admitted she’s unsure if the character will return, saying, “I don’t see that. I’m pretty intuitive. I don’t feel that coming my way.

Jessica Jones premiered on Netflix on November 20, 2015, and quickly gained a large audience. The first season received high praise from critics, who highlighted Krysten Ritter’s performance as Jessica and David Tennant’s role as Kilgrave.

Recently, Carrie-Anne Moss, who played Jeri Hogarth in Marvel’s Netflix series Jessica Jones, has expressed an interest in reprising her role within MCU. In a recent interview, Moss shared her enthusiasm, stating, “I loved playing her, one of my favorite roles I’ve ever played. I would, of course, love to play her again.”

Hogarth is a straightforward and determined lawyer who first appeared in Jessica Jones and later showed up in Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Defenders.

Despite her eagerness, Moss acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding her character’s return, noting, “I don’t see that.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for “Rivals,” now streaming on Hulu/Disney+.

British author Jilly Cooper is synonymous with sex. In the U.K., the 87-year-old has long reigned as the queen of “bonkbusters” (aka romance novels), with titles like “Riders” and “Tackle” usually accompanied by saucy jacket covers (one edition of “Riders” features a woman in tight-fitting horse-riding pants with a man’s hand placed provocatively on her posterior.)

“She’s a writer with a reputation within the United Kingdom,” says Felicity Blunt, Cooper’s longtime literary agent at Curtis Brown (part of UTA). “But I would say you should never judge a book by a cover.”

That much is evident in an expensive and expansive new TV adaptation of one of her most famous books, “Rivals,” which took the U.K. by storm when it was released on Disney+ last month and is now catching on in the U.

A couple weeks back, fans of the Prime Video show Good Omens — about an unlikely friendship between the angle Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant) — got some bad news: no longer would the show's third and final season be...well, a season of TV. Instead, it will be one 90-minute episode that will wrap up all the stories the second season left dangling, most notably what will become of Aziraphale and Crowley now that they've parted ways, with Aziraphale returning to heaven to help plan the Second Coming and Crowley getting as far away from all that mess as he possibly can.

Fans have grown very attached to Aziraphale and Crowley, and many were upset with the news. The season is being cut down almost certainly because of a series of sexual assault allegations made against Neil Gaiman, who not only co-wrote the original Good Omens book...

Gregor Fisher and Greg McHugh star in Scottish sitcom Only Child, and the BBC has released a first trailer. More here.

Gregor Fisher will always be inextracably intertwined with Rab C. Nesbitt, the permanently plastered Glaswegian festering in squalor alongside long suffering wife Mary Doll, played by Elaine C. Smith. The show became so popular that writer Ian Pattison adapted it into a stage show, and stars like Sylvester McCoy, Stanley Baxter and Richard E. Grant appeared in the show. Series 3 episode Touch features a very early television appearance by David Tennant, who guest stars as barmaid Davina.

As we approach the festive season, Fisher also features in arguably the sweetest story in Richard Curtis’ Love Actually, about the friendship between his character Joe and Bill Nighy’s rock star Billy Mack.

Now though? Gregor Fisher is returning to the small screen for sitcom Only Child.

Watch the trailer below:

According to the BBC,...

I did wonder how well Good Omens would translate from book to screen. Well, it worked, and now we’re ready to see how it all comes to an end. Well, sort of. We’re not “ready” ready, but it does need an ending.

This is one of those series that can’t be duplicated. There isn’t anything else out there that matches the energy, but there are a fair few shows that come somewhat close. It all depends on the elements you want to gain from Good Omens in other works.

Here are six shows worth watching.

Matt Smith may currently be well-known for his portrayal of Daemon Targaryen in HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon, but viewers will forever see him as synonymous with his portrayal of the Doctor on Doctor Who.

Smith portrayed the Eleventh Doctor for three seasons, making just shy of 50 episodes. Alongside David Tennant, his seasons are widely regarded as the golden age of the 'New Who' era of the franchise. Fans are always campaigning for his triumphant return, although Smith himself isn't too interested in reprising his beloved role just yet.

Of course, Smith would go on to grow his illustrious filmography. Notably, he played the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, in Netflix's The Crown. Other big roles include Last Night in Soho and a Marvel debut in Morbius. However, outside of Doctor Who, his biggest role by far is playing Daemon Targaryen in House of the Dragon.

David Tennant is a British actor known for appearing in stuff like Doctor Who, Good Omens and the Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling is the author of the Harry Potter who's become best known in recent years for her anti-trans rhetoric. They're in a feud!

Kind of. The dust-up started earlier this year when Tennant accepted a Celebrity Ally award at the British LGBT Awards. During his acceptance speech, Tennant took aim at U.K. Minister for Women and Equalities Kemi Badenoch, who "has said she would exclude trans women from single sex spaces," per Variety. “I suppose if I’m honest I’m a little depressed by the fact that acknowledging that everyone has the right to be who they want to be and live their life how they want to live it as long as they’re not hurting anyone else should merit any kind of special or award...

To say the relationships at the center of Rivals, the Hulu adaptation of Dame Jilly Cooper’s book, are messy would be an understatement. But that’s what makes it—and the novel—so good. There are quite a few changes from the pages to the screen, notably in Tony (David Tennant) and Cameron’s (Nafessa Williams) relationship and how that ends—is he dead?!—while others are exactly what we pictured, like Rupert (Alex Hassell) and Taggie’s (Bella Maclean) meeting. And with the first season (the show has yet to be renewed) not covering the entire book, there’s plenty to explore should it continue. TV Insider decided to get the author’s take on the relationships from her mind depicted on screen. There are quite a few changes from the book. Which ones excited you the most to see explored on the ...

Kemi Badenoch has become the UK Conservative Party leader, beating her colleague Robert Jenrick in the final vote, to become the first Black leader of a British national political party.

Badenoch previously engaged in a social media war of words with Doctor Who star David Tennant. She said she “wasn’t afraid of Doctor Who” after the pair clashed on trans rights.

Badenoch won by more than 10,000 votes from a total poll of more than 130,000. Party members across the country voted in the contest, which followed the Tory party defeat in the UK general election this summer, after which defeated prime minister Rishi Sunak said he would stand down.

Conservative Party chairman Richard Fuller introduced the conference to announce the result in London 11am Saturday morning. He stressed that the party, currently in opposition, must unite in addressing the country’s needs. 1922 committee chairman Bob Blackman then announced the winner of the leadership campaign.

There’s a new series about the foibles of a wealthy group of neighbors who share cocktails, secrets, and lovers to hilarious and sometimes devastating effect. (And Nicole Kidman isn’t starring in it!) “Rivals” premiered on Hulu October 18, and its combination of ’80s go-go excess and English countryside life is a potent mix. And what befits these horny buggers more than houses befitting their varying stations in life?

Based on Dame Jilly Cooper’s novel in her Rutshire Chronicles, “Rivals” filmed its fictional community on location across Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, using private homes for the exteriors (and some interiors) of its characters’ estates. And in production designer Dominic Hyman, “Rivals” (created by Dominic Treadwell-Collins) found the ideal architect for its home unsweet homes. “It was a world that I completely understood,” Hyman told IndieWire. “I was in my late teens in 1986, ’87, and I kind of dipped in and out...

It's been confirmed that Nick Frost (Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy) will be in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, voicing a droid that the four kid main characters find. Named Sm-33, this droid is very much evoking the pirate vibe that's been a big part of the promotional material so far. But is that the only character that Frost is playing?

While promoting his newest horror film, Get Away, Frost spoke in a long interview with The Hollywood Reporter about his career. Of course, Skeleton Crew came up where he said something of note. Frost said:

I got a message from Jon Favreau to say just, ‘because you’re a robot doesn’t mean that you can’t appear somewhere as yourself.'Nick Frost Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Sm-33 voiced by Nick Frost. Image Credit: StarWars.com | starwars.com

Does this mean that Frost will play more than one role? Probably,...

The show may be called "The Boys," but it proves time and time again that girls do get it done. Eric Kripke's superhero satire, adapted from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's even more controversial comic series, has a feminist bent and a recurring theme of its female characters asserting agency. Starlight/Annie January (Erin Moriarty) is the greatest example, with her literally becoming a progressive icon and thoughtful leader in-universe.

As part of the series' critique of corporate America, though, it does not celebrate rainbow capitalism (i.e. putting individuals from marginalized groups at the top of institutions doing the marginalizing). Girlboss characters are never celebrated on "The Boys," from soulless exec Madelyn Stillwell (Elisabeth Shue), to serpentine politician Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), to Ashley Barrett (Colby Minifie) — a PR flack in way over her head as Homelander's (Antony Starr) lackey.

Minifie's performance as Ashley is especially impressive,...
