Hayley Atwell’s (Agent Carter) character Aunt Diane will serve as a maternal figure in Nick’s life after Olivia Colman who played his mother said she won’t be back for Season 3. Diana will take Nick on a summer holiday to Menorca and give him some tough advice during their time together.
As for Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan), he’ll portray a fan-favorite character from Heartstopper graphic novels – Charlie’s wise and straight-talking therapist, Geoff.
Joe Locke and Nick Nelson will be back to lead the cast in Season 3, along with William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser, Rhea Norwood, and Leila Khan in supporting roles.

]]>The Four Seasons starred Alan Alda, Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno, and Jack Weston, and it followed three couples who always plan their holidays together. Their vacation plans suffer a huge blow after one of the couples decides to put an end to their marriage.
Fey co-created this series alongside 30 Rock alums Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield. They’re coming on board as executive producers, alongside David Miner, Eric Gurian, and Jeff Richmond. Netflix ordered eight episodes, and the production is expected to kick off later this year.
This won’t be the first time Carell and Fey joined forces. The duo capitalized on the success of their NBC sitcoms The Office and 30 Rock by starring in the 2010 rom-com Date Night, directed by Shawn Levy.
The Four Seasons will reunite Carell with Netflix for the first time since 2022 when his workplace comedy Space Force ended its run. He starred in several notable TV series in recent years, including Hulu’s The Patient and Apple TV’s The Morning Show.

]]>It’s been over a decade since the American version of The Office ended its run, and it managed to become an even bigger hit in the era of streaming. It was just a matter of time before its creator Greg Daniels decided to revisit this world, and the new spin-off started taking shape when he opened a development room to explore new ideas back in January.
Daniels joined forces with a group of trusted writers, and Nathan For You co-creator Michael Koman emerged as a standout. He’ll be credited as a co-creator of the new series alongside Daniels, which will be set in a new office with new characters, while existing in the same world as the original series.
Domhnall Gleeson, whose notable credits include the Star Wars franchise and films About Time and Ex Machina, is one of the actors circling this project. Sabrina Impacciatore is also eying one of the key roles, after getting her big break with the Emmy-nominated supporting turn on The White Lotus.

]]>The post “The Witcher” to End Its Run After Five Seasons appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>The Witcher creator and showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissric said it’s a huge pride to star shooting the penultimate season of this series with some new additions to the cast.
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring Andrzej Sapkowski’s books to an epic and satisfying conclusion. It wouldn’t be our show if we didn’t push our family of characters to their absolute limit — stay tuned to see how the story ends,” said Schmidt Hissrich in a statement.
The Witcher will undergo several major changes when it returns for its fourth chapter. This will mark the first season without Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia after he decided to exit the series and let Liam Hemsworth take his role.
Co-leads Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan will return as Yennefer and Ciri, while the supporting cast includes Joey Batey, Mimî M. Khayisa, Anna Shaffer, Royce Pierreson, Wilson Mbomio, Mahesh Jadu, plus Laurence Fishburne joining the series as the fan-favorite character Regis in Season 4.

]]>The post “For All Mankind” Season 5 Confirmed, New Spin-Off in the Works appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>For All Mankind put a “what if” take on the history of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. It’s set in an alternate timeline where the Soviets won the space race after being the first nation to land a man on the Moon, forcing NASA to try and catch up over the course of the next few decades.
For All Mankind will return for its fifth season, but Apple TV+ is also planning to continue telling this story from a different perspective. The new spin-off Star City will center on Soviet cosmonauts, engineers, and intelligence officers, who took huge risks to propel humanity forward.
Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi co-wrote the spin-off alongside Ronald D. Moore, and serve as its showrunners. Their fascination with the Soviet space program grew with every season of For All Mankind, and they can’t wait to tell the tale about “the secret city in the forests outside Moscow where the Soviet cosmonauts and engineers worked and lived.”

]]>Despite losing the Academy Award for best original screenplay at the Oscar to Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers won over the WGA Awards voters. David Hemingson won the trophy for writing this film, beating Air, Barbie, May December, and Past Lives.
Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction replicated its Oscars success, winning another trophy for the best original screenplay. It defeated tough competition in Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Killers of the Flower Moon, Nyad, and Oppenheimer.
Winners in the TV categories were pretty easy to predict, and the three main awards went to TV shows that dominated the entire award season. Succession won best drama series, The Bear was named the best comedy series, while Beef was crowned the best limited series. The Last of Us collected the trophy for the best new series, despite losing in the best drama field.
The Writers Guild of America Awards took place on April 14, after being delayed by several months in the face of the writers’ strike.

]]>Sethu was mentioned as a potential replacement for Gibson after the rumors about her departure started circling around in January. Fans were made to believe that Gibson would step down, leaving it up to Sethu to serve as Gatwa’s next companion, but BBC decided to go in a different direction.
Both Sethu and Gibson will board the Tardis alongside Gatwa when he returns for his second full season as the Time Lord.
