More MobLand is on the way.

Paramount+ has renewed the action-crime series for season 3. This renewal comes ahead of the release of season 2 of the show, which premieres on the streaming service Sept. 18.

Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren star in the series about two mob families who find themselves in a war that threatens to ruin their empires and lives.

"The Harrigans, heads of North London’s largest criminal empire, are on the brink of civil war, and their rivals are starting to notice. As tensions within the Harrigan family intensify, their ‘fixer’ Harry Da Souza is the only one that can keep them from falling apart," according to an official description of season 2.

Ronan Bennett created and co-wrote the series, which was executive produced by David C. Glasser and co-written by Jez Butterworth.

Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Teddie Allen, Emmett J. Scanlan, Johnny Flynn, Ophelia Lovibond, Janet McTeer and Toby Jones also star in season 2.

“With over 26 million viewers and climbing, MobLand has become a resounding triumph driven by the creative brilliance of Guy, Jez, Ronan and David C. Glasser, and brought to life by the powerhouse performances by Tom, Pierce, and Helen,” Chris McCarthy, the co-CEO of Paramount and president of SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment, said at the time the series was renewed for season 2 in June 2025. 

New episodes of the 10-episode season 2 will be available to stream on Fridays, culminating in the season 2 finale releasing on Nov. 20.

Battinson may be back, but he's feeling his age.

Robert Pattinson is currently filming the long-awaited superhero sequel The Batman Part II. The actor celebrated his 40th birthday a month before filming started on the project in London this June. He told GQ in a recent interview that making an action movie feels different at 40.

“I’m in London here till the end of the year doing a Batman sequel,” Pattinson said. "It’s good. I’m definitely feeling my age when fighting a lot. I’m literally like, ‘G******, this is significantly harder than it used to be.’"

The actor said even though making the movie is harder, it's still "really fun" to do.

"I think the movie’s going to be pretty great. It’s got a really, really fun cast, but it’s a marathon," Pattinson said.

The cast of The Batman Part II includes franchise newcomers and A-listers Scarlett Johansson and Sebastian Stan, whose roles have yet to be announced. Charles Dance, Brian Tyree Henry and Sebastian Koch also star in the Matt Reeves-directed movie.

The Batman Part II is set to open in theaters on Feb. 18, 2028. It has been delayed multiple times. The film was first scheduled to open on Oct. 2, 2026, before it was delayed to Oct. 1, 2027.

Reeves announced the most recent release date change in a video he posted to Vimeo on July 15. The video also features the first camera test footage of Pattinson back in costume as the caped crusader.

Lionel Richie is back home and on the mend after being hospitalized, ABC News has confirmed.

The "Hello" artist checked himself into a hospital out of an abundance of caution after headlining a summer concert over the weekend, a source close to the singer's tour told ABC News earlier this week.

Richie performed in St. Louis at The Muny's annual summer finale concert on Saturday night.

According to TMZ on Monday, concertgoers reportedly saw Richie appearing to struggle toward the end of the show and performing his final song, "All Night Long," while sitting down.

Richie's hospitalization came more than two months after he experienced dizziness onstage during the opening night of his tour with Earth, Wind & Fire in Minnesota on June 24.

Several videos shared online at the time showed Richie performing while seated during that show.

Richie subsequently postponed two shows -- one in Columbus, Ohio, and another in Chicago -- after being advised by doctors to "rest and return to full health," according to Live Nation Chicago.

He returned to the stage on June 30 for a performance with Earth, Wind & Fire in Pittsburgh.

Along with his rescheduled tour dates, Richie is expected to take the stage at the Wynn in Las Vegas in October and November for his King of Hearts shows.

John Lennon's son Sean Ono Lennon is a dad.

The son of the legendary Beatles singer announced the news in a post on X and Instagram Wednesday with a photo saying that he's welcomed a baby boy with his partner, Charlotte Kemp Muhl.

"@charlottekempmuhl and I have created a Human Bean! His name is Aurelius! Thank you!" he wrote.

John Lennon was also the father to Julian Lennon, whom he shared with ex-wife Cynthia Lennon.

Since his father's death in 1980, Sean Lennon has continued to honor his legacy with his brother, Julian, by sharing stories about their father. In 2024, Sean Lennon's film War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John and Yoko won an Oscar for best animated short film.

The boy who lived is back for a brand-new era.

HBO has released a new official teaser trailer for the first season of its upcoming Harry Potter series, titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

"There is nothing special about Harry Potter — at least that's what his Aunt Petunia always says. On his 11th birthday, a letter of admittance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opens up a hidden world for Harry: one of fun, friendship and magic," its official logline reads. "But with this new adventure comes great risk as Harry is forced to face a dangerous enemy from his past."

Dominic McLaughlin leads the cast as Harry Potter. He stars alongside Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton, who play Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The series is described as a faithful adaptation of the books by J.K. Rowling, who serves as an executive producer.

The new teaser shows off the new crop of Hogwarts students arriving for the first day of the new school year. We see Harry, Ron and Hermione arrive on the Hogwarts Express, before Harry is sorted into Gryffindor by the sorting hat.

"Everyone thinks I'm this great wizard, but I really don't know anything," Harry says to Professor McGonagall, played by Janet McTeer.

We also see Severus Snape, as portrayed by Paapa Essiedu, signal Harry out during potions class.

"Let's hope you show some talent on the Quidditch pitch, Potter," Snape says. "You've certainly not exhibited any in here."

The series was renewed for season 2 on May 6, months ahead of its first season premiere. Succession's Jon Brown, who was a writer on season 1, has been promoted to co-showrunner for season 2. He will serve in the role alongside Francesca Gardiner, the showrunner of season 1.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone debuts to HBO and HBO Max on Dec. 25.

East of Eden has its first full-length trailer.

The new limited series adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic novel stars Florence Pugh as Cathy Ames, whose life becomes "intertwined with the lives of generations of men from the Trask family — notably those of Adam (Christopher Abbott) and Charles (Mike Faist).”

Throughout the trailer we hear Cathy’s narration as she muses on the evils of the world. “Evil is not always apparent at first glance,” she says. “It can come cloaked in goodness, or beauty, or love. The heart of our oldest stories.”

We see Adam immediately taken with Cathy, but his brother Charles is wary. “A girl like that doesn’t just fall out of the sky,” Charles warns. “She’s going to tear you to pieces, and I don’t want to watch it.”

The story later follows Cathy and Adam’s twin boys, Cal Trask, played by Joseph Zada, and Aron Trask, played by Joe Anders.

The seven-episode series is directed by Zoe Kazan, the granddaughter of director Elia Kazan, who previously adapted the novel into a 1955 film that launched the career of James Dean.

East of Eden debuts on Netflix Oct. 1.

A documentary about the late Matthew Perry is headed to Netflix.

The streaming service has announced a new three-part documentary series about the Friends actor, who died on Oct. 28, 2023, at 54 years old.

Called The One About Matthew Perry, this will be the first in-depth, definitive documentary about the actor. It is directed by Emmy Award winner Mary Robertson and premieres to Netflix on Oct. 27.

The series will feature never-before-heard testimonies from Perry's sister, Mia Perry Bowick, as well as lifelong best friends of the actor. It will also have unreleased photos and videos from the Perry family's private archive.

"Told through intimate testimonies from close family and friends, this documentary event reveals the real Matthew Perry—generous, funny, vulnerable, larger than life—and the battles he fought to become the man behind the icon. A raw record of a life lived in full, and the honesty that became his greatest legacy," according to the docuseries' logline.

“Matthew Perry was one of the comedic geniuses of our time. Through his many films, TV and stage performances, and his unforgettable portrayal of Chandler Bing, he made millions of us laugh, connect, and feel a little less alone," Robertson said in a press release. "He also gave us so much more by bravely speaking about addiction. Yet the public only knew part of his story. That's why we set out to make this series: to let the people who knew and loved Matthew reveal the person behind the public figure."

Perry Bowick also released a statement on the docuseries.

"It's taken time for me to feel ready to share these memories and what it was like to love Matthew through all the complexity of his life—to see him as a whole person, not just as Chandler, and not just as someone who struggled with addiction," she said. "As his sister, he shaped who I am today, the person I strive to be, and the work to which I've devoted my life. Matthew had a beautiful heart and a generous spirit, and even in his darkest moments, he could still make you laugh and feel loved. I hope this series gives everyone who loved him, whether personally or from afar, a deeper appreciation for who he truly was, and the legacy he leaves behind."

Country music legend Dolly Parton will be remembered at two Dollyfest concerts in 2027, her estate announced Monday.

The concerts, billed as the "party of a lifetime," will be held across two consecutive weekends in 2027 in Nashville and London, according to her estate.

The celebration was originally scheduled to take place in Nashville in January this year, according to the estate, and was intended to be a "multi-artist event" featuring Parton, who died on Aug. 25 at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer.

"Many people behind the scenes know that DOLLYFEST is a dream of Dolly's that was intended to take place on her 80th birthday in Nashville," Danny Nozell, Parton's longtime manager, said in a statement Monday. "We had the venue booked and we had the announcement ready to go. And then, in August 2025, Dolly had to take a step back after her initial health challenges. A lot of people always say, WWDD (What Would Dolly Do?), and, well, at this moment, DOLLYFEST is WDWD (What Dolly Would Do!)."

"What Dolly started, we will ensure is brought to life," Nozell added.

Exact dates for the two 2027 Dollyfest celebrations are forthcoming, Parton's estate said, along with more information on who will be performing.

The upcoming celebrations were announced three days after Parton was laid to rest in a private memorial service in Nashville on Aug. 28, her niece Lainey Mae Parton shared in a social media post over the weekend.

Parton, who was preceded in death by her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, requested a private funeral, her nephew Bryan Seaver said in a video message announcing her death.

Parton was born one of 12 children in a small town in Tennessee and propelled herself to become one of the world's most successful entertainers, releasing 50 albums and winning 11 Grammy Awards.

She took a step back from public appearances over the past year as she dealt with health issues, details of which she did not share publicly.

Just days before her death, Parton shared a statement with People saying she was taking time to address health issues she "didn't pay attention to" prior to Dean's death last year.

Parton's last major in-person public appearance was in June, when she made a surprise appearance at the grand opening of a gas station and restaurant called Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop.

Stephen Kalyn is going from the hockey rink to the courtroom.

The Off Campus breakout actor has been cast in The Housemaid's Secret. He will play the role of Brock Cunningham, a lawyer who is in a relationship with Sydney Sweeney's character, Millie Calloway.

Lionsgate announced the casting news in a video shared to Instagram on Monday. The video finds Kalyn reading Freida McFadden’s novel before walking inside a trailer on a film set.

"Welcome home, Brock. Stephen Kalyn joins the cast of The Housemaid’s Secret," the post's caption reads.

The Housemaid's Secret will be based on the second book in the trilogy by McFadden. It is the direct sequel to the 2025 film The Housemaid, directed by Paul Feig. This new movie finds Millie taking a job as a housekeeper for a woman she's never allowed to see, who remains behind a locked door. She discovers the truth behind all of this and it threatens to expose secrets darker than her own.

Lionsgate announced plans for a film adaptation of The Housemaid's Secret in January. At the time, the studio announced it would begin production on the film in 2026.

Sweeney and Michele Morrone are set to return to their roles of Millie and Enzo Accardi in the movie. Joining the cast for the sequel are Kirsten Dunst, Brittany Snow and Paul Anthony Kelly.

Feig will also return to direct. Sweeney is set to executive produce while Feig also produces through his Pretty Dangerous Pictures alongside Laura Fischer. Rebecca Sonnenshine will once again adapt McFadden's words for the screen.

At the time the sequel was announced, Feig said, "It’s been thrilling to see audiences around the world fall in love with The Housemaid and the incredible work of our talented cast and crew. We’re lucky that Freida McFadden has already extended Millie’s journey on the page, and that we get to work with Rebecca Sonnenshine and Lionsgate to bring this next story to audiences."

The Housemaid's Secret arrives in theaters on Dec. 17, 2027.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced Monday it will not go forward with its exhibit on fashion designer John Galliano, which had been planned to coincide with the 2027 Met Gala.

The exhibition, John Galliano: Horizons, was met with backlash when it was announced in late July because of the fashion designer's history of making antisemitic remarks.

Galliano was fired from his job as creative director of Christian Dior in 2011 and found guilty of antisemitic behavior by a French court later that same year.

In a statement posted on its website, the Metropolitan Museum of Art said the decision to cancel the exhibit, which was scheduled to open next May, was made with Galliano.

The museum also released a statement from the designer, who also previously worked as the head designer of Givenchy and was previously named international designer of the year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

"After much reflection and discussion with The Met and all those involved, I have decided, with great sadness, that it is best for the exhibition not to take place at this time," Galliano said in a statement shared by The Met. "I remain fully accountable for the pain caused by my words in the past, particularly the hurt I caused to the Jewish and Asian communities, and I remain deeply sorry for it. I understand that meaningful atonement is not achieved through an exhibition, institutional recognition or a single public gesture. It is a continuing responsibility, demonstrated through listening, learning and one’s conduct over time."

The statement continued, in part, "I do not want the debate surrounding me to place The Met in a difficult position or to distract from the remarkable work of the Costume Institute. I also recognize and respect that an exhibition honoring my work would be painful for some."

After stepping away from fashion for several years, Galliano spent 10 years working as artistic director of the Maison Margiela fashion house, leaving the role in 2024, according to The Associated Press.

The Galliano exhibit was to be held at The Met's Costume Institute. Each spring, the institute's new exhibit is opened by the star-studded Met Gala.

The gala, chaired by Condé Nast chief content officer Anna Wintour, is a major fundraiser for the museum and the Costume Institute in particular.

Wintour said in a statement Monday that she supports the decision to not move forward with the Galliano exhibition.

"John's decision that the exhibition devoted to his work should not take place at this time is very courageous and a measure of the man he is," she said. "I believe this is the right decision, and both he and the Museum have my full support."

A new spring Costume Institute exhibition and more information on the 2027 Met Gala will be announced at a later date, according to the museum.

Dolly Parton was laid to rest in a private burial in Nashville on Friday, three days after the country music legend died at age 80.

Parton's niece Lainey Mae Parton shared news of the burial Saturday in an emotional social media post remembering her aunt.

"This is a really hard post for me to make. I wanted to wait until after my granny was laid to rest yesterday before I tried to put any of this into words," she wrote in an Instagram post alongside photos of Parton.

"From the time I was little, my granny always had a way of making me feel like I was enough," she continued. "She believed in me before I even knew how to believe in myself."

Lainey Mae also reflected on Parton's close relationship with her family.

"Because she couldn't have kids of her own, she always made us feel like we were hers," she wrote. "She loved us that way, and I'll forever be grateful for that."

Parton died on Aug. 25 after "bravely facing a brief battle with cancer," according to her publicist.

Following her burial, tributes to Parton continued Saturday night at the Grand Ole Opry, which dedicated its Aug. 29 show to the longtime Opry member and Country Music Hall of Fame inductee.

A portion of ticket proceeds from the show will be donated to Parton's Imagination Library, the childhood literacy program she founded.

Parton's niece Jada Star spoke on behalf of the family and performed "The Orchard" during the tribute.

Carly Pearce, who began her career performing at Dollywood as a teenager and was invited by Parton to join the Opry in 2021, performed "Those Memories of You." Kathy Mattea dedicated a performance of "Jolene" to Parton's memory.

The performers later gathered onstage for "9 to 5," with Opry member Jelly Roll making a surprise appearance. The night concluded with the artists and backstage guests watching a video of Parton performing "I Will Always Love You" at the Opry.

The tributes come as Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and Nashville International Airport have announced their intent to name the airport in Parton's honor.

Lee said the move would create "a lasting tribute to her indelible legacy and the generations of people she inspired across Tennessee and around the world."
