How to Get Cast in NBC’s ‘Chicago Fire’ Season 14

Chicago Fire Season 14 Renewed: New Faces, Cast Exits, and What to Expect

NBC’s high-octane drama Chicago Fire is officially coming back for Season 14. While the brave first responders of Firehouse 51 will continue to save lives in the Windy City, fans should brace for big cast shake-ups and behind-the-scenes changes.

NBC Renews Chicago Fire for 2025-26 Season

Chicago Fire has been renewed by NBC for the 2025–26 TV season. The long-running hit will return for its 14th season following the conclusion of its 13th season, which wrapped on May 21. The series remains a flagship of NBC’s One Chicago universe, which also includes Chicago Med and Chicago PD.

The show continues to follow the intense and emotional lives of the firefighters, paramedics, and rescue squad at Firehouse 51, with stars like Taylor Kinney (Lt. Severide), David Eigenberg, Christian Stolte, and Miranda Rae Mayo returning to lead the ensemble.

Ratings Dip, But Firehouse 51 Stays Strong

Despite a noticeable drop in viewership, Chicago Fire remains a top-performing scripted series for NBC. Season 13 averaged a 0.39 rating in the 18–49 demographic and drew in 5.72 million viewers, including DVR playback—down 21% in the demo and 9% in total viewers compared to Season 12.

Still, its strong Wednesday night performance secures its place as NBC’s second-highest-rated scripted show.

Budget Cuts Bring Cast Changes and Fewer Episodes

In a bid to tighten production costs, NBC is implementing changes that will affect the cast and episode structure of Season 14:

  • Some main cast members will skip 2–4 episodes.
  • Actors who don’t establish Illinois residency may be featured in fewer episodes due to the show’s Chicago filming base.
  • Annual salary raises (typically 5%) are being frozen for select cast members.
  • Some characters may be written off entirely.

These adjustments are part of a broader cost-reduction strategy across network TV.

Two Fan Favorites Exit the Series

With change comes loss. Chicago Fire fans will be saying goodbye to two beloved characters:

  • Daniel Kyri, who portrayed Darren Ritter for seven seasons.
  • Jake Lockett, who played Sam Carver for three seasons.

NBC has not confirmed whether these exits will occur on-screen or be handled off-camera.

Brandon Larracuente Joins Cast in Mysterious New Role

To fill the gap left by Ritter and Carver, Chicago Fire is bringing in fresh talent. Brandon Larracuente has been cast as a new series regular for Season 14. Although character details remain under wraps, it’s highly likely he’ll be stepping in as a new firefighter at Firehouse 51.

Larracuente is no stranger to the Wolf Entertainment family, having starred in the Prime Video series On Call. His casting hints at a seamless integration into the One Chicago world.

Fans are especially curious to see if his character will represent the LGBTQ+ community, following the departure of the franchise’s only regular LGBTQ+ character (Ritter).

When Will Chicago Fire Season 14 Premiere?

NBC has yet to announce a specific premiere date, but Chicago Fire Season 14 is expected to debut in Fall 2025. Filming begins in July, so fans should anticipate first-look images and teasers in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned for updates on casting news, plot developments, and behind-the-scenes changes as the series gears up for another action-packed season.

How to Get Cast in “Memory of a Killer” Starring Patrick Dempsey

Patrick Dempsey to Star in Fox Thriller Series Memory of a Killer

Fox has officially ordered the drama-thriller series Memory of a Killer for the 2025–2026 season, with Patrick Dempsey set to lead. The announcement came just ahead of Fox’s annual upfront presentation in New York, generating major buzz for the network’s latest high-stakes drama.

What Is Memory of a Killer About?

Inspired by the acclaimed 2003 Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer (La Memoire Du Tueur), Memory of a Killer follows Angelo, a skilled assassin who also tries to live as a devoted family man. But when he’s diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, his two worlds collide — putting his family and himself in grave danger.

The new series reimagines this tense premise as a serialized drama, combining action, psychological depth, and family stakes.

Patrick Dempsey’s Return to Network TV

For longtime fans, Memory of a Killer marks a return to network television for Patrick Dempsey, who starred as Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy for 11 seasons.

Since leaving Grey’s Anatomy, Dempsey has appeared in Showtime’s Dexter: Original Sin, Sky Italia’s financial drama Devils, and films including Ferrari, Bridget Jones’s Baby, Sweet Home Alabama, Enchanted, and Disenchanted. His casting in Memory of a Killer signals a bold new role as a morally complex antihero.

The Creative Team Behind Memory of a Killer

The series was developed for television by Ed Whitmore (Silent Witness, Manhunt) and Tracey Malone (Rillington Place). They serve as executive producers alongside:

  • Cathy Schulman (Crash) of Welle Entertainment
  • Arthur Sarkissian (Rush Hour)
  • Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, The Protégé)
  • Peter Bouckaert of Eyeworks

Memory of a Killer is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Fox Entertainment, extending the long-standing partnership between the two companies.

Industry Buzz

Fox executives are already hyping the series. Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network, described it as:

“A propulsive series with a noisy, unrelenting character hook… In the spirit of 24 and House, we’re introducing a daring new Fox lead, a complicated antihero facing unimaginable danger.”

This places Memory of a Killer firmly in the tradition of Fox’s signature dramas with bold characters and addictive storytelling.

Previous Adaptations

This will be the second adaptation of the Belgian film. In 2022, Liam Neeson starred in the feature remake Memory, directed by Martin Campbell.

The original film (De Zaak Alzheimer) starred Jan Decleir, Koen De Bouw, and Laurien Van den Broeck, and was praised by critics for its suspense and emotional weight.

Premiere & Release

Memory of a Killer is set to premiere during the 2025–2026 television season on Fox. More details about its debut episode are expected in the coming months following Fox’s upfronts.

According to IMDb, the series will also star Richard Harmon and Michael Imperioli alongside Dempsey.

Sophie Turner Reveals Health Issue While Training for Tomb Raider

Key Takeaways

  • Sophie Turner discovered a long-term back issue while training for Tomb Raider
  • The role required intense physical preparation for nearly a year
  • Turner had little fitness experience before taking on Lara Croft
  • The new Amazon Prime Video series is currently in production

Sophie Turner Says Tomb Raider Training Uncovered a Health Problem

Sophie Turner is opening up about the physical toll of preparing to play Lara Croft — and how the demanding training revealed an unexpected health issue.

In a new interview, the Game of Thrones star shared that while training for Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming live-action Tomb Raider series, she discovered she has what she described as a “perpetual back problem.”

“Eight Hours a Day”: Inside Sophie Turner’s Tomb Raider Training

Speaking on The Julia Cunningham Show, Turner detailed the intense physical preparation required for the iconic action role.

“We’ve been doing eight hours a day, five days a week since February of last year,” Turner said. “So it’s been a lot.”

The training regimen lasted nearly a full year and included strength conditioning, combat choreography, and endurance work — a significant challenge for Turner, who admitted she had little prior experience with structured workouts.

“I’d Never Worked Out Before”

One of the biggest surprises for Turner wasn’t just the physical strain — it was how difficult it was to build muscle from scratch.

“I realised that it’s much easier to build muscle if you’ve worked out before in your life, which I never had,” she said.
“It’s taken me months and months and months to get into good shape.”

During this process, Turner learned she has an ongoing back issue, something she now manages alongside the physical demands of the role.

A Major Shift From Sansa Stark

Turner is best known for portraying Sansa Stark on HBO’s Game of Thrones, a character whose journey involved survival rather than physical dominance.

Reflecting on the difference, Turner noted that Lara Croft represents a dramatic shift.

“I was always the one that got beat up, not the one doing the beating,” she said of Sansa.
“So it’s quite nice to learn how to throw a punch and not just take it.”

First Look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft

Amazon MGM Studios confirmed Turner’s casting in September and recently released the first official image from the series.

The image shows Turner in action-ready gear — combat shorts, a fitted vest, and a weapon holstered at her thigh — signaling a more physically grounded and intense take on the legendary video game character.

The series is a reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise, previously portrayed on screen by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander.

Star-Studded Cast and Creative Team

The Tomb Raider series is being led by Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who serves as writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner.

The cast includes:

  • Sigourney Weaver as Evelyn Wallis, a powerful figure seeking to exploit Lara’s abilities
  • Celia Imrie as Francine, head of advancement at the British Museum
  • Jason Isaacs as Lara’s uncle, Atlas DeMornay

Director Jonathan Van Tulleken is also attached as executive producer.

Waller-Bridge praised the ensemble, calling the cast “beyond my wildest dreams.”

What’s Next for the Tomb Raider Series

Production on the Amazon Prime Video drama is officially underway, with the series set to reintroduce Lara Croft to a new generation of fans.

For Turner, the role marks a physically demanding — and transformative — chapter in her career, proving that stepping into an iconic action role can come with unexpected challenges behind the scenes.

Matt Damon on Cancel Culture: Why It “Follows You Forever”

Matt Damon on Cancel Culture: Why It “Follows You Forever”

Key Takeaways

  • Matt Damon compares cancel culture’s lasting impact to a punishment that never ends
  • He says public backlash can “follow you to the grave”
  • Damon reflects on his own past controversy and career resilience
  • The conversation highlights a larger Hollywood debate around accountability vs. permanent backlash

Matt Damon Says Cancel Culture Can “Follow You to the Grave”

Matt Damon is speaking candidly about cancel culture in Hollywood — and why he believes it can be more damaging than traditional punishment.

During a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, Damon joined longtime collaborator Ben Affleck to promote their upcoming Netflix film The Rip. The conversation quickly turned serious as Rogan and Damon discussed how public backlash affects actors’ lives and careers long after controversy fades from headlines.

“In Perpetuity”: Damon on the Reality of Being Canceled

Rogan described cancel culture as a system where a single mistake is amplified and used to permanently exile someone from public life.

Damon agreed — and went further.

“In perpetuity,” Damon said, emphasizing the permanence of online backlash.
“I bet some of those people would have preferred to go to jail for 18 months… and then say, ‘I paid my debt. Can we be done?’”

According to Damon, the issue isn’t accountability — it’s the lack of an endpoint.

Unlike legal consequences, public shaming online never fully disappears. Old headlines, social media posts, and search results resurface again and again, often overshadowing years of professional work.

“It just never ends,” Damon said. “It will follow you to the grave.”

Damon’s Own Experience With Internet Backlash

Damon knows firsthand how quickly online outrage can escalate.

In 2021, the actor faced widespread criticism after an interview sparked controversy over comments related to language and social progress. The backlash spread rapidly across social media, prompting Damon to release a public statement clarifying his remarks and reaffirming his support for the LGBTQ+ community.

He acknowledged that his words were misinterpreted but also recognized why people reacted strongly.

Rather than dismissing the criticism, Damon framed the moment as part of a broader cultural shift — one led by younger generations demanding accountability, empathy, and change.

Career Impact: Controversy Without Consequence?

Despite the intense scrutiny, Damon’s career momentum never truly slowed.

Since the controversy, he has starred in:

  • Air
  • Oppenheimer
  • Multiple high-profile studio projects

He’s also set to return to theaters later this year in the lead role of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, reinforcing his position as one of Hollywood’s most bankable actors.

The contrast raises a larger industry question:
Why do some stars recover quickly while others disappear entirely?

A Bigger Hollywood Conversation

Damon’s comments arrive at a time when Hollywood continues to wrestle with:

  • Accountability vs. permanent punishment
  • Growth vs. public shaming
  • Who gets second chances — and who doesn’t

As streaming platforms, social media, and fan-driven discourse continue to shape entertainment careers, the definition of “cancel culture” remains hotly debated.

For better or worse, Damon’s message is clear: in today’s digital world, public backlash doesn’t come with an expiration date.

How to Get Cast in ABC’s “RJ Decker”

RJ Decker: ABC’s New Crime Drama Pilot Starring Scott Speedman

ABC is diving into the colorful and crime-filled world of Carl Hiaasen with its upcoming pilot RJ Decker, a drama that blends satire, mystery, and quirky South Florida chaos. Based on Hiaasen’s 1987 novel Double Whammy, the project promises a mix of sharp storytelling and offbeat humor that could make it a standout in the network’s lineup.

The Story Behind RJ Decker

At the heart of the series is RJ Decker, played by Scott Speedman (Felicity, Grey’s Anatomy, Animal Kingdom). Once a disgraced newspaper photographer and ex-con, Decker reinvents himself as a private investigator. His new career thrusts him into South Florida’s strangest corners, where cases range from slightly odd to completely bizarre.

But Decker doesn’t go it alone. He’s joined by his journalist ex, her police detective wife, and a mysterious benefactor from his past. While these allies provide support, they also complicate his path, particularly the benefactor, who might be his greatest ally—or the reason he lands back in prison.

Cast and Characters

Scott Speedman leads the series as the flawed yet compelling RJ Decker. He’s joined by Weruche Opia, who has signed on in a series regular role. While details about her character remain under wraps, her addition signals the show’s commitment to strong supporting players. Additional casting announcements are expected if the pilot moves forward into a full series.

The Creative Team

RJ Decker comes from an impressive creative lineup. Rob Doherty, the creator of Elementary, serves as writer and executive producer. Paul McGuigan, known for directing episodes of Sherlock and films like Lucky Number Slevin, is attached as both director and executive producer. Author Carl Hiaasen is also on board as an executive producer, ensuring the adaptation stays true to his distinct satirical voice. The series is produced by 20th Television for ABC, with the potential to stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally if picked up.

Casting Directors

Casting for RJ Decker is being overseen by industry professionals including Jasmin Downs, who is known for her work in the casting department on projects like Silo (2023), The Hunting Party (2025), and Rewind (2014). With experience across major productions as both a casting professional and producer, Downs brings a sharp eye for talent to the series. Her involvement suggests that RJ Decker will feature not only strong leads but also a diverse and dynamic supporting cast that captures the eccentricity of Carl Hiaasen’s South Florida world.

Filming and Production Status

Production on the RJ Decker pilot is currently underway in Wilmington, North Carolina, where local streets and venues have been transformed into Hiaasen’s South Florida setting. The pilot is ABC’s first greenlit project of 2025, a strong indication of the network’s confidence in the series. If the pilot is successful and ordered to series, fans can expect a premiere sometime in 2026.

Why RJ Decker Could Stand Out

What makes RJ Decker unique is its source material. Carl Hiaasen’s novels are beloved for their sharp wit, satirical edge, and eccentric characters, all set against the backdrop of Florida’s unpredictable culture. The adaptation has the potential to appeal to fans of shows like Justified, Dexter, and Elementary, where crime-solving meets layered storytelling and complex characters.

With Speedman’s star power, Doherty’s storytelling chops, McGuigan’s directorial flair, and Jasmin Downs’ casting expertise, RJ Decker could easily become a fresh favorite for viewers looking for something edgier than the standard crime drama.

Casting Opportunities

While the lead roles are already locked in, the pilot’s filming in Wilmington has opened the door for extras and background performers. If ABC orders the show to series, there will likely be additional casting opportunities for both actors and crew as production ramps up.

Bella Hadid Says She’d “Love” to Continue Acting After Ryan Murphy’s The Beauty

Bella Hadid Says She’d “Love” to Continue Acting After Ryan Murphy’s The Beauty

Key Takeaways

  • Bella Hadid says acting is a long-held dream she hopes to continue pursuing.
  • The supermodel stars in FX’s The Beauty, her most significant acting role to date.
  • Hadid credits Ryan Murphy as a major reason she joined the project.
  • She says her role challenged her creatively and was unlike anything she’s done in modeling.

Bella Hadid is stepping confidently into the world of acting — and she hopes it’s only the beginning.

The internationally renowned supermodel, who will soon appear in FX’s body horror series The Beauty, says she would “love” to continue acting beyond the Ryan Murphy–produced project. Speaking at the show’s New York premiere on Wednesday night, Hadid opened up about her creative ambitions and her growing passion for film.

“I would love to keep continuing acting after this,” Hadid told The Hollywood Reporter. “This is a dream of mine.”

From Runways to the Screen

Hadid, 29, rose to global fame through her work with luxury fashion houses like Chanel, Dior, and Versace, appeared on the cover of Vogue more than 30 times, and was named Model of the Year by the British Fashion Council in 2022. While she’s had small roles in series like Ramy and Yellowstone, The Beauty marks her most substantial acting role yet.

Despite portraying a model in the series, Hadid said the experience felt completely different from her real-life career.

“The modeling has no connection to what I did on this set, to be honest,” she explained. “It was the complete opposite of anything I’ve ever done.”

Working With Ryan Murphy

A major draw for Hadid was the opportunity to collaborate with Ryan Murphy, known for genre-defying series like American Horror Story and Glee. She spoke enthusiastically about Murphy’s creative vision and leadership.

“Ryan has just an incredible brain. I love his brain. I love his heart,” she said. “He’s somebody I really look up to when it comes to directing. I’m just grateful that he brought me onto this opportunity.”

Inside The Beauty

The Beauty is a dark, provocative body horror series starring Ashton Kutcher as a tech billionaire who creates a trillion-dollar empire around a mysterious drug called “The Beauty.” The substance, which spreads through the fashion world and beyond, promises perfection — but comes with devastating consequences.

The show explores themes of obsession, power, and sacrifice, asking a central question: What are you willing to give up to be beautiful?

Hadid’s answer, she says, is simple.

“Just be who you are.”

With The Beauty set to premiere its first three episodes on January 21, followed by weekly releases, Hadid appears ready for her next chapter. Surrounded by a cast that includes Evan Peters, Rebecca Hall, Anthony Ramos, and Jeremy Pope, and backed by a creative team she deeply admires, the model-turned-actress is embracing a new creative path.

For Bella Hadid, acting isn’t just a side project — it’s a dream she’s ready to keep chasing.

Netflix Lands Exclusive Global Deal to Stream Sony Films

Netflix Lands Exclusive Global Deal to Stream Sony Films

Netflix and Sony Pictures Entertainment have reached a new multi-year agreement that will bring major Sony films to Netflix subscribers worldwide following their theatrical runs, the companies announced Thursday.

Under the deal, Netflix will become the exclusive streaming home for Sony Pictures films for the first 18 months after they leave theaters and video-on-demand platforms. After that window, the films will move to Disney.

The rollout will happen gradually, beginning later this year as regional rights become available, with full global availability expected by early 2029.

Among the high-profile titles set to stream on Netflix under the agreement are “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,” Nintendo’s live-action “The Legend of Zelda,” “The Nightingale” starring Dakota and Elle Fanning, and Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes’ upcoming four-film project centered on The Beatles.

The deal strengthens Netflix’s licensed content strategy by providing a steady pipeline of studio films for its global audience. Netflix already holds similar Sony streaming rights in select markets, including the U.S., Germany, and parts of Southeast Asia.

For Sony, the agreement secures a long-term streaming destination for its theatrical slate as studios continue to reassess distribution strategies amid changing viewing habits driven by streaming.

Sony’s film catalog includes titles such as “Uncharted,” “Anyone But You,” “Venom: The Last Dance,” and “It Ends With Us.” Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Timothée Chalamet Says Background Actor Threatened Him on ‘Marty Supreme’ Set

Timothée Chalamet Says Background Actor Threatened Him on ‘Marty Supreme’ Set

Timothée Chalamet is pulling back the curtain on one of the most intense moments from filming Marty Supreme — and it’s a story fans won’t forget anytime soon.

The 30-year-old actor recently joined Robert Downey Jr. for a live Q&A at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles on January 14, where he opened up about a nerve-wracking scene involving a background actor who definitely wasn’t acting.

“You Don’t Want to See Me Angry”

While discussing a motel scene from the upcoming ping pong drama, Chalamet explained that the sequence featured several non-actors — something he finds exciting but unpredictable.

“I won’t say who, but in that motel sequence, there are a lot of non-actors,” Chalamet shared. “Sometimes it would take multiple takes to really get something out of them.”

Trying to raise the emotional stakes, Chalamet leaned into his scene partner, hoping to provoke a reaction.

“I was saying to Josh [Safdie], he’s not getting angry with me,” Chalamet recalled.

That’s when the situation suddenly shifted.

During another take, the background actor looked at Chalamet and said, “I was just in jail for 30 years. You really don’t want to f–k with me. You don’t want to see me angry.”

Chalamet laughed nervously as he wrapped up the story:

“I said to Josh, ‘Holy s–t, who do you have me opposite, man?’”

A Secret Robert Pattinson Cameo?

That wasn’t the only surprise revealed about Marty Supreme.

While speaking at London’s BFI Southbank, director Josh Safdie shared that Robert Pattinson makes a secret, voice-only cameo in the film — a detail even die-hard fans may have missed.

“No one knows this, but that voice — the commentator, the umpire — is Pattinson,” Safdie revealed.

The cameo serves as a subtle Easter egg, reuniting Safdie with Pattinson after their 2017 collaboration on Good Time.

Awards Buzz Is Heating Up

Marty Supreme, which follows the rise of an American table tennis phenom on the international circuit, features a standout cast including Odessa A’zion, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Fran Drescher.

Still, it’s Chalamet who’s leading the awards-season conversation.

He’s already taken home both a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for his portrayal of Marty Mauser. Co-star Odessa A’zion also earned a Best Supporting Actress nomination at The Actor Awards.

When Chalamet won Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes on January 12, he shared an emotional moment with his girlfriend of three years, Kylie Jenner, before thanking those closest to him.

“My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up,” Chalamet said. “Always be grateful for what you have.”

“For my parents, for my partner — I love you. Thank you so much,” he added.

Why Stories Like This Matter for Actors

Moments like these are a reminder that unforgettable performances often come from unpredictable, real-world experiences — especially when working alongside non-actors and unconventional casts.

Whether you’re just starting out or building momentum in your career, opportunities like these begin with visibility.

The 30-year-old model and reality TV star recently revealed that she keeps a private list of baby names she loves—describing them as “beautiful normal” rather than flashy or celebrity-inspired.

During an appearance on the In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele podcast, Kendall was asked whether her baby name choices leaned toward “insane” or stereotypical “nepo baby” territory. Her answer was blunt and clear.

She said she’s “so over” extreme name trends and finds the obsession with outrageous celebrity baby names a little ridiculous.

Why Kendall Prefers “Normal” Baby Names

Kendall emphasized that her list isn’t wild or unconventional. Instead, she’s drawn to names that feel classic, simple, and timeless.

“I actually love my baby list,” she shared, adding that she gravitates toward names that sound familiar but still feel beautiful.

This approach reflects a growing trend among celebrities in recent years, where many are moving away from ultra-unique names and back toward classic choices that age well.

No “K” Names—And No Exceptions

One thing Kendall was very clear about: her future children’s names will not start with the letter “K.”

While her sisters—Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, and Kylie—are famously aligned in their naming tradition, Kendall has no interest in continuing it.

Her response when asked was immediate: absolutely not.

Unique Names Can Still Work—If Done Right

Although she prefers more traditional names, Kendall doesn’t dismiss unique ones entirely.

She pointed to Joaquin Phoenix as an example of a name that stands out without going too far. In her view, a good name can be distinctive without sounding forced or gimmicky.

She also mentioned Brad Pitt, calling it an “incredible name” that proves simplicity can still carry star power.

Kendall Jenner on Motherhood and Timing

Kendall has been open in the past about wanting children one day. She once hoped to start a family in her late 20s, but her perspective has shifted.

In a previous interview with Vogue, she admitted that she’s enjoying her independence and flexibility too much to rush into motherhood.

Now in her 30s, she says she still feels young and values the freedom to travel and make spontaneous choices.

She Wants a Big Family—Eventually

While she’s not in a hurry, Kendall does see motherhood in her future.

On The Kardashians, she shared that she wants at least two children so they can grow up with a sibling. Three is the maximum, she joked—but two would be just fine.

For now, though, Kendall is content embracing her current lifestyle, knowing she has time to build the family she wants when the moment feels right.

A Refreshingly Down-to-Earth Take on Celebrity Baby Names

In a world where celebrity baby names often dominate headlines for their shock value, Kendall Jenner’s approach feels surprisingly grounded. Her preference for “beautiful normal” names—and her openness about taking her time with motherhood—reflect a more thoughtful, relatable perspective.

As fans continue to follow her career and personal journey, Kendall’s comments offer a reminder that even in Hollywood, not everything has to be over-the-top. Sometimes, simplicity, intention, and timing matter most—and for Kendall Jenner, that seems to be exactly the plan.

Ethan Hawke on AI in Movies and the Future of Live Theatre

Ethan Hawke on AI in Movies and the Future of Live Theatre

Key Takeaways

  • Ethan Hawke is openly skeptical about using AI in movies.
  • He believes the future of entertainment lies in live events and human connection.
  • Theatre, concerts, and in-person performances are drawing younger audiences.
  • Hawke supports balancing commercial success with meaningful, independent art.

Ethan Hawke Says AI in Movies Misses the Point

Ethan Hawke has made it clear: the idea of AI in movies doesn’t excite him—it pushes him back toward the theatre.

The Blue Moon actor recently shared that while he doesn’t fully understand artificial intelligence, he feels its growing presence in film highlights something audiences are craving more than ever: real human interaction.

According to Hawke, when conversations turn to AI in filmmaking, his instinct is to return to live performance—where phones are down, attention is focused, and people share a moment together.

Why Live Theatre Still Matters in a Digital World

For Hawke, theatre offers something technology can’t replicate.

In live performance:

  • Audiences are fully present
  • Performers and viewers share the same space
  • Every show feels slightly different and alive

He compares it to “going back to the farm,” acknowledging there’s a Luddite side to his thinking—but one rooted in human connection rather than nostalgia.

Live Events Are Thriving With Younger Audiences

Hawke also pointed to major live events as proof that the future isn’t purely digital.

After attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, he was struck by how many young people were eager to experience something live and communal. To him, that enthusiasm signals a shift—not away from entertainment, but toward experiences that feel real and shared.

“The future is here,” he suggested, “and it looks a lot like live events.”

Movie Stars on Broadway: A Good Thing, Not a Problem

While some critics question why major film stars are increasingly appearing on Broadway and the West End, Hawke sees it as a positive trend.

He recalled seeing Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen perform in London, noting that most of the audience was under 30. Many attended because of the actors’ fame—but left having experienced world-class theatre.

In Hawke’s view, the reason people show up matters less than the fact that they’re exposed to meaningful art.

Balancing Commercial Films and Independent Art

Hawke also reflected on how artists navigate commercial success while staying creatively fulfilled.

He referenced directors like Steven Spielberg, Guillermo del Toro, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Ryan Coogler as filmmakers who manage to create popular art while elevating the industry as a whole.

At the same time, he expressed concern about how difficult it’s become for smaller, independent projects to survive. Without cultural and financial support, emerging artists struggle to find the space and time needed to grow.

His message was clear: big commercial projects help the ecosystem—but nurturing smaller creative voices is just as essential.

Why This Conversation Matters Now

As AI continues to enter the entertainment industry, Hawke’s perspective highlights a growing tension between technology and human-driven storytelling.

For actors, filmmakers, and creators, his comments reinforce a key idea: no matter how advanced tools become, audiences still crave authenticity, presence, and shared experience.

And for live theatre and independent film, that desire may be the strongest sign yet that human creativity remains at the center of entertainment’s future.

How to Get Cast on “Tulsa King”

‘Tulsa King’ Renewed for Season 4 Ahead of Season 3 Debut — Sylvester Stallone Drops a Major Hint

Fans of Tulsa King have reason to celebrate! Before the third season even hits screens, Paramount+ has officially renewed the hit crime drama for Season 4, signaling strong confidence in the Taylor Sheridan-produced series. Alongside the renewal comes even more exciting news: a Tulsa King spinoff titled NOLA King is in the works, expanding the ever-growing Sheridan-verse that already includes Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, and 1923.

Tulsa King Renewed for Season 4

Ahead of its Season 3 premiere on September 21, Paramount+ confirmed that Tulsa King will return for a fourth season. The early renewal highlights the show’s ongoing popularity and the strong fanbase surrounding Sylvester Stallone’s portrayal of Dwight “The General” Manfredi — a former New York mobster trying to rebuild his criminal empire in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

When Will Tulsa King Season 4 Premiere?

An official premiere date has yet to be announced, but Tulsa King has historically followed a fall release schedule:

  • Season 1: November 2022
  • Season 2: September 2024
  • Season 3: September 21, 2025

Following this pattern, fans can likely expect Tulsa King Season 4 to premiere in fall 2026.

Who Will Star in Tulsa King Season 4?

Although we’ll have to wait and see which characters survive the explosive events of Season 3, one thing seems certain — Sylvester Stallone will return as Dwight “The General” Manfredi.

In an interview with TV Insider, Stallone hinted that Season 4 will introduce new faces to the Tulsa King universe:

“Do we have new characters in [Season] 4? Oh, yes. You bet.”

Season 3’s ensemble cast includes:

  • Martin Starr as Lawrence “Bodhi” Geigerman
  • Jay Will as Tyson Mitchell
  • Garrett Hedlund as Mitch Keller
  • Dana Delaney as Margaret Devereaux
  • Annabella Sciorra as Joanne Manfredi
  • Neal McDonough as Cal Thresher
  • Frank Grillo as Bill Bevilaqua
  • Chris Caldovino as Dennis “Goodie” Carangi
  • McKenna Quigley Harrington as Grace
  • Mike “Ca$h Flo” Walden as Bigfoot

New cast members joining Season 3 include Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Patrick, Beau Knapp, Bella Heathcote, Kevin Pollak, and James Russo — some of whom may carry their storylines into the upcoming fourth season.

What Will Happen in Tulsa King Season 4?

While details remain under wraps, Tulsa King continues to follow Dwight Manfredi as he navigates the criminal underworld in Tulsa while contending with personal rivalries and family turmoil. Stallone teased that the tension between his character and Robert Patrick’s Jeremiah Dunmire will continue into Season 4:

“You’ll come across him in this season, but it’s a matter of, he has to just eventually, eventually throw down and say, ‘I know you’re going to try to kill me. So we’re going to try to work this out, or one of us has got to go.’”

That storyline, Stallone confirmed, unfolds across Season 3’s 10 episodes and will carry directly into Season 4.

Who Are the Casting Directors for Tulsa King?

Tulsa King boasts a powerhouse casting team responsible for assembling its talented ensemble — from Stallone’s commanding lead performance to the fresh faces joining the drama.

Her ability to identify chemistry among cast members has been instrumental in shaping Tulsa King’s dynamic on-screen relationships.

Bryan Riley — With credits like The Day After Tomorrow (2004), X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019), and The Shape of Water (2017), Bryan brings a cinematic flair to the series. His expertise in blending visual spectacle with strong character casting enhances the authenticity and scale of Tulsa King’s world.

How to Get Cast on ‘Lioness’ Season 3

How to Get Cast on ‘Lioness’ Season 3

Paramount+ has officially renewed Lioness for Season 3, bringing Taylor Sheridan’s espionage thriller back for another chapter. The series—starring and executive produced by Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman—has built a strong following thanks to its high-stakes missions, grounded intensity, and stacked cast.

The renewal announcement arrives after a long wait following the end of Lioness Season 2, which wrapped its run on Paramount+ months ago. Now, with Season 3 confirmed, fans are finally getting the update they’ve been anticipating.

Why the ‘Lioness’ Season 3 Renewal Took So Long

While Season 3 was always a strong possibility, the delay reportedly came down to behind-the-scenes logistics—specifically deals and scheduling.

According to reporting referenced in the information provided, Zoe Saldaña already had an acting deal spanning three seasons, while Nicole Kidman needed a new agreement for Season 3, which took time to finalize. The Season 3 greenlight reportedly happened quietly earlier this year, but the announcement was held as producers worked around the two stars’ busy film schedules.

During the gap between seasons, Saldaña also joined Kidman among Oscar winners, earning major recognition for her performance in Emilia Pérez.

Production Plans: New Texas Campus and a Reported October Start

Momentum for Lioness Season 3 became more visible in August when a new production campus in Fort Worth, Texas (AllianceTexas development) was unveiled. The campus was announced as a partnership between SGS Studios, Paramount Television, and Hillwood (a Perot Company).

At the time, 101 Studios CEO David Glasser shared that multiple shows were expected to film at the lot this year, starting with Landman Season 2, followed by The Madison Season 2, and then Lioness Season 3, reportedly targeted for an October start.

What Happened in ‘Lioness’ Season 2

In Lioness Season 2, the CIA’s battle against terror moved closer to home. Joe (Zoe Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Nicole Kidman), and Byron (Michael Kelly) brought in a new Lioness operative to infiltrate a threat that had previously gone undetected.

As pressure intensified from every direction, Joe was pushed to confront the personal cost of leading the Lioness program—raising the stakes not only for the mission, but for her own life and relationships.

‘Lioness’ Cast: Who Starred in Season 2

Season 2 featured an ensemble that included:

  • Zoe Saldaña
  • Nicole Kidman
  • Morgan Freeman
  • Michael Kelly
  • Laysla De Oliveira
  • Genesis Rodriguez
  • Dave Annable
  • Jill Wagner
  • LaMonica Garrett
  • James Jordan
  • Austin Hébert
  • Jonah Wharton
  • Thad Luckinbill
  • Hannah Love Lanier

Kidman also earned a Critics Choice Award nomination (Best Supporting Actress) for her Season 2 performance, per the information provided.

Who’s Behind ‘Lioness’ Season 3

Lioness Season 2 listed a large executive producing team, including Taylor Sheridan, David Glasser, Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, and others involved in the series’ production leadership. With Season 3 now confirmed, the key creative forces behind the show remain central to its continuation.

Casting Directors for ‘Lioness’: Who’s Putting Season 3 Together

Casting plays a huge role in what makes Lioness feel authentic, tense, and character-driven—and Season 3 is in experienced hands.

John Papsidera

John Papsidera is one of the casting directors attached to Lioness. He’s known for his work on major productions such as Oppenheimer, Superman, and The Odyssey. Papsidera has a reputation for building casts that mix powerhouse names with breakout talent, helping elevate projects into must-watch territory.

Legacy Casting

Legacy Casting is also serving as a casting director on Lioness. Known for strong ensemble-building and sharp character casting, Legacy Casting has developed a reputation for finding both established performers and fresh faces—especially for projects that require grounded, believable performances. Their involvement is a good sign for actors keeping an eye out for potential supporting, day-player, or recurring opportunities.

Damson Idris Addresses James Bond Casting Rumors at the 2026 Golden Globes

Damson Idris Addresses James Bond Casting Rumors at the 2026 Golden Globes

Key Takeaways

  • Damson Idris shut down rumors that he has been cast as the next James Bond.
  • The actor said he’s honored by the speculation and views it as a compliment.
  • Idris acknowledged actors like Idris Elba who have also been fan favorites for the role.
  • The F1 star also shared excitement about future collaborations and joked about racing Brad Pitt.

Damson Idris may be known for life in the fast lane, but when it comes to rumors about becoming the next James Bond, the actor is slowing things down.

While walking the red carpet at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton, Idris addressed ongoing speculation that he could be tapped to play the iconic British spy. Speaking with E! News correspondent Justin Sylvester, the F1 star made it clear that the rumors aren’t true — at least for now.

“It’s definitely not true, it’s just a rumor,” Idris said during LIVE from E!: Golden Globes 2026. Still, he expressed gratitude for being part of the conversation, calling the speculation a meaningful compliment.

“All these roles are superb,” he added. “And I think it’s a testament to a young artist to be given that compliment.”

Honored to Be in the Conversation

Idris acknowledged that he’s far from the first actor fans have imagined slipping into James Bond’s tuxedo. He pointed to Idris Elba, among others, who have long been discussed as potential successors to the role.

“There’s been many artists before me — Idris Elba, my big brother, and many artists today,” Idris said. “So I think it’s just a testament saying that we’re doing a good job and that people see us.”

Dressed sharply in a black suit and bow tie, Idris embodied Bond-worthy style even as he dismissed the casting chatter.

Looking Ahead to New Collaborations

While Bond may not be on the horizon, Idris revealed there are other projects he’s eager to pursue. At the top of his list is working with actress Wunmi Mosaku, whose recent performance left a strong impression on him.

“I’m in love with Wunmi right now,” he shared. “Her performance in Sinners is superb. That’s definitely someone I want to work with.”

Racing Ahead After F1

Idris also reflected on his experience starring alongside Brad Pitt in F1, which received Golden Globe nominations for Best Score (Motion Picture) and Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

Calling himself “super, super fortunate” to work on the film, Idris couldn’t resist a playful jab at his absent co-star.

“Brad ain’t here today,” the 34-year-old joked, “but I came personally to say I’m faster than him driving Formula One cars.”

As Bond rumors swirl and new opportunities await, Idris appears focused on enjoying the moment — grateful for the recognition and eager for whatever role comes next.

How to Get Cast on “Big Time” Starring Chloe Fineman

Chloe Fineman to Star in ‘Big Time,’ a Bold Hollywood Comedy

Key Takeaways

  • Saturday Night Live standout Chloe Fineman will lead Big Time, a new comedy acquired by Panoramic Media.
  • The film is based on a short story by Emmy-nominated writer Jen Spyra, who will adapt it as her first feature screenplay.
  • Big Time follows a crass, time-hopping 1940s starlet navigating modern Hollywood.
  • Wayward Casting is attached as one of the casting directors for the project.
  • The film is produced by Panoramic Media, the company behind major hits like Wednesday and Creed III.

Chloe Fineman is set to headline Big Time, an upcoming comedy feature recently picked up by Jonathan Glickman’s Panoramic Media. Best known for her work on Saturday Night Live, Fineman continues to expand her film career with projects that blend sharp comedy, character-driven storytelling, and industry satire.

Big Time is adapted from the title short story in a recent best-selling collection by writer and comedian Jen Spyra. Spyra will make her feature film writing debut with the adaptation, bringing her distinctive voice—equal parts biting, absurd, and observant—to the big screen.

The film centers on a brash, unapologetic movie star from the 1940s who mysteriously finds herself dropped into modern-day Hollywood. Determined to reclaim fame at any cost, she charges ahead despite being wildly out of sync with contemporary culture, social norms, and industry expectations. The result is a high-concept comedy that uses time travel to explore fame, relevance, and the ever-evolving entertainment business.

A Comedy That Skewers Hollywood Then and Now

Hollywood-focused comedies have seen renewed interest in recent years, particularly those that reflect on celebrity culture, power, and reinvention. Big Time taps into this trend by contrasting old-school studio-era bravado with today’s image-conscious, fast-moving entertainment industry.

The film’s premise allows for both broad comedy and pointed commentary. By placing a Golden Age starlet into a modern setting, Big Time highlights how much the industry has changed—and how much, in some ways, it hasn’t. This balance of humor and insight is central to the project’s appeal and aligns with audience demand for comedies that feel smart without sacrificing entertainment value.

Chloe Fineman’s Rising Star Power

Fineman is currently in her fourth season on Saturday Night Live, where she has earned praise for her pitch-perfect celebrity impressions and fearless comedic choices. Her ability to capture both exaggerated personalities and subtle emotional beats has made her one of the show’s most versatile performers.

Outside of SNL, Fineman’s film and television résumé continues to grow. She stars in Damien Chazelle’s Babylon, a Paramount release that earned five Golden Globe nominations, where she portrays classic Hollywood icon Marion Davies. She also appears in Noah Baumbach’s Netflix film White Noise.

Her recent credits include HBO Max’s Father of the Bride reboot opposite Andy Garcia and Gloria Estefan, as well as television roles on Big Mouth, Dickinson, Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens, and Search Party. With a background at The Groundlings, Fineman brings strong improv instincts and comedic discipline to every role—qualities that make her a natural fit for Big Time.

Jen Spyra’s First Feature Film

Jen Spyra brings a well-established comedic pedigree to Big Time. She currently serves as the announcer for CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and has earned five Emmy nominations for her writing on the show. Her past work includes voicing Hillary Clinton and Jill Biden on Showtime’s animated series Our Cartoon President.

Spyra is also a frequent contributor to The New Yorker and a former senior writer at The Onion, where she honed her signature blend of dark humor and cultural satire. Her debut novel, Happy Nights at the Golden Banana, was recently acquired by Random House, further cementing her reputation as a sharp, original voice across formats.

With Big Time, Spyra translates her acclaimed short story into a feature-length narrative, expanding its themes while preserving its irreverent tone.

Panoramic Media’s Proven Track Record

Jonathan Glickman produces Big Time under his Panoramic Media banner, with Roni Stein, Panoramic’s Director of Development, overseeing the project. Spyra is also attached as an executive producer.

Panoramic Media has become one of the most reliable production companies in the industry, with a track record that spans theatrical releases and streaming hits. The company is behind Netflix’s Wednesday, which became the platform’s second most-watched series of all time, surpassing one billion hours viewed worldwide.

Additional credits include Creed III, directed by and starring Michael B. Jordan, The Underdoggs starring Snoop Dogg, Respect with Jennifer Hudson, and The Addams Family 2. This history of commercial success and audience engagement adds significant weight to Big Time as it moves forward.

Casting Directors for Big Time

Casting is a crucial part of shaping any film, especially a comedy built around bold characters and heightened performances. Casting directors work closely with producers and filmmakers to identify actors who can deliver both comedic timing and authentic character work.

For Big Time, one of the casting teams attached to the project is Wayward Casting.

Wayward Casting is involved in casting for the film, supporting the creative team in assembling an ensemble that fits the story’s unique blend of classic Hollywood energy and modern satire. Their responsibilities typically include:

  • Collaborating with producers and filmmakers on character breakdowns
  • Reviewing submissions and sourcing talent through agencies and targeted searches
  • Coordinating auditions, callbacks, and chemistry reads
  • Helping ensure the final cast aligns with the film’s tone, humor, and storytelling goals

As the project progresses, casting decisions will play a key role in bringing the film’s time-hopping world to life.

Nikki Glaser Honors Rob Reiner with Subtle Tribute at the 2026 Golden Globes

Nikki Glaser Honors Rob Reiner with Subtle Tribute at the 2026 Golden Globes

Key Takeaways

  • Nikki Glaser paid tribute to late filmmaker Rob Reiner during the 2026 Golden Globes.
  • The host wore a Spinal Tap hat referencing Reiner’s iconic 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap.
  • Reiner and his wife Michele were found dead in their Los Angeles home in December.
  • Glaser said she wanted to honor Reiner in a personal, understated way.

Nikki Glaser made sure the 2026 Golden Globes included a heartfelt tribute to Rob Reiner, honoring the late filmmaker with a subtle yet meaningful nod during the ceremony’s closing moments.

As host of the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jan. 11, Glaser appeared onstage wearing a black baseball cap emblazoned with the words “Spinal Tap,” referencing Reiner’s beloved 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap.

“Well, that’s our show. This one went to 11,” Glaser said, quoting one of the film’s most iconic lines. She continued by thanking the audience for the evening and closed with a playful sign-off: “A good Chalamet to you all, good night!”

A Tribute One Month After His Death

Glaser’s tribute came nearly one month after Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele, 70, were found dead in their Los Angeles home on Dec. 14. Their son, Nick Reiner, 32, has since been charged in connection with their deaths.

Rather than dedicating a formal segment to Reiner — as the Golden Globes does not include a full In Memoriam section — Glaser chose a quiet reference that longtime fans would recognize.

“Celebrate Him in My Own Way”

Ahead of the ceremony, Glaser explained her approach in an interview with USA Today. She acknowledged that while she didn’t know Reiner as closely as some of his longtime friends, she still wanted to honor him thoughtfully.

“I knew him, but not really well,” she said. “It’s delicate, because we don’t really have an In Memoriam. But I have something planned that I’m going to do in my own way to just acknowledge him and celebrate him.”

The tribute followed a similar moment earlier in the awards season, when Chelsea Handler honored Reiner at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, calling him “the nicest guy in Hollywood.”

A Personal Reflection

Glaser later shared that she considered how Reiner might have handled a similar situation if their roles were reversed.

“If something happened to me and Rob Reiner was hosting a show, given our relationship, how would I want him to handle it?” she said. “I think I landed on something that I feel he would do for me too.”

The moment struck a balance between humor and remembrance — fitting for a filmmaker whose work blended satire, heart, and cultural impact.

How to Get Cast in “All the Sinners Bleed” on Netflix

Summary

Netflix’s All the Sinners Bleed combines Southern Gothic intensity with a gripping crime thriller edge. Produced by Amblin Entertainment and Higher Ground, the series explores faith, justice, and racial tension in rural Virginia. With Steven Spielberg as executive producer and Joe Robert Cole (Black Panther) writing and directing, the show offers an extraordinary opportunity for actors looking to work on a prestige Netflix series.

About All the Sinners Bleed

Based on S.A. Cosby’s acclaimed novel, All the Sinners Bleed follows Titus Crown (Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù), a former FBI agent who becomes the first Black sheriff in Charon County, Virginia. The town seems quiet, but under its surface lie dark secrets. A schoolteacher’s death exposes a long-hidden pattern of violence, pushing Titus to hunt a serial killer whose crimes stem from religious fanaticism.

As he pursues justice, Titus faces challenges from all sides — a far-right group pushing to celebrate Confederate history, a deeply divided community, and a haunting past of his own. The story blends crime, faith, and psychological depth, making it ideal for actors who can handle intense emotional and moral themes.

Cast and Characters

The show features an impressive lineup of talent:

  • Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù (Gangs of London, Black Rabbit) as Titus Crown — the determined sheriff confronting both evil and inner demons.
  • John Douglas Thompson (The Gilded Age, Mare of Easttown) as Albert Crown, Titus’s father.
  • Nicole Beharie (The Morning Show, Miss Juneteenth) as Darlene, Titus’s supportive girlfriend.
  • Daniel Ezra (All American) and Andrea Cortés are also confirmed for key roles.

This ensemble reflects Netflix’s commitment to strong, character-driven performances anchored in realism and moral conflict.

Production Details

  • Title: All the Sinners Bleed
  • Format: Series / Netflix
  • Production Company: Amblin Entertainment (Steven Spielberg)

  • Production Dates: November 3, 2025 – May 15, 2026

The series will feature a gritty Southern aesthetic with dusty backroads, church choirs, and hidden sins. Casting directors will need extras and supporting actors to portray townspeople, church members, deputies, and protesters.

How to Get Cast in All the Sinners Bleed

Why This Project Matters

For aspiring actors, this project represents the best of both worlds: the prestige of cinematic storytelling and the visibility of a global streaming release.
