Speaking on a panel at PaleyFest LA on Saturday (via Variety), “Better Call Saul” co-creator Peter Gould confirmed what many fans have been predicting: the final season of the “Breaking Bad” prequel will feature appearances from Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. “I don’t want to spoil things for the audience, but I will say the first question we had when we started the show was, ‘Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?...

The Abhartach legend is a fun way to distract silly tourists, but these local boys can’t shake the sense that there might actually be something to the tall tale.

Fraser, who stars in Darren Aronofsky’s drama based on Samuel D. Hunter’s semi-autobiographical play of the same name, spoke to Vanity Fair about how the physical transformation for the role is part of his reintroduction to Hollywood. Fraser’s turn as Charlie, a reclusive and obese English teacher who tries to repair his relationship with his daughter (Sadie Sink) over the course of five days, landed him a TIFF Tribute Award. A24’s “The Whale” makes its world premiere at the 2022 Venice Film Festival on September 4 before debuting at TIFF and later opening in theaters December 9....

The purported record-smashing numbers for Netflix were buoyed by a fleet of new originals, including the launch of the much talked-about salacious period series “Bridgerton.” The bawdy English Regency drama created by Chris Van Dusen and produced by Shonda Rhimes is projected to have reached more than 63 million households so far, making it Netflix’s fifth biggest original series launch of all time. “Bridgerton” has reached the No. 1 spot overall in 76 countries including the U....
