All adventurous women do … write a bestselling book.

Lena Dunham is celebrating her new memoir, Famesick, reaching the top spot on The New York Times bestseller list.

The Girls creator took to her social media on Thursday to share a video of herself learning that her memoir reached #1 on the prestigious list. In the video, Dunham gets a call from her team telling her the good news.

Afterward, Dunham puts her head in her hands and starts to cry. The person on the other end of the call tells her she sold almost 60,000 copies of Famesick in week one alone.

“You’re joking guys,” Dunham says. “No way!”

The post’s caption goes in depth on Dunham’s feelings about the accomplishment.

“Screaming, crying, throwing up. Which, to be fair, I do a lot of in this book- but this time it’s for a much more joyful reason: I am bowled over by the support you have shown Famesick,” Dunham wrote. “Almost two decades into my career, I know enough to know what a rare and special thing is to feel seen and heard, and this release has given me the opportunity to see and hear so many of you. I missed that.”

Dunham goes on to write that she doesn’t take any of this for granted.

“I am honored by every book in every pair of hands/ears and that Famesick made the #1 spot on the NYTimes, London Sunday Times, USA TODAY, and Indie Bookseller Bestseller lists,” she wrote, before finishing with, “Thank you. Truly.”

Famesick was published on April 14. According to a description from Penguin Random House, it is a “rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between” that finds Dunham wondering “whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain.”

A Secret Lives of Mormon Wives show based in California, a new reality show from Khloe Kardashian and a new season of Project Runway were among the new projects announced Wednesday at Hulu’s second Get Real House event

The event, hosted by talk show host and actor Scott Evans, delivered a series of announcements about Hulu’s upcoming unscripted slate.

Here are some of the upcoming new shows coming to Hulu:

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County
The show that originated in Utah will air a new installment this year featuring a group of young moms in Orange County, California.

The moms “collide in a community where beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity. While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo,” according to a show description.

The series, which does not yet have a release date, stars Aspyn Ovard, Bobbi Althoff, Avery Woods, Salomé Andrea, McCall DaPron, Chandler Higginson, Ashleigh Pease and Madison Bontempo.

Project Runway
Model Heidi Klum will return for a new season of Project Runway in July.

Twenty-two designers will compete for a chance to take their fashion careers to the next level, according to a press release from Disney Entertainment Television Publicity.

The upcoming new season will feature a crossover with some of the Dancing with the Stars cast members, who will hit the Runway catwalk. 

Project Runway will premiere on Hulu, Disney+ and Freeform on July 9.

The Girls from executive producer Khloé Kardashian
Many may know Khloé Kardashian on The Kardashians, but the reality star and entrepreneur is stepping behind the camera for the new reality series The Girls.

As an executive producer, Kardashian is bringing a new show to Hulu about her “inner circle of real-life besties” as they raise children and run businesses and survive “brutally honest group chats.”

The Mob hosted by Parker Posey
A new reality competition series The Mob will also be coming to Hulu, with Emmy-nominated actress Parker Posey as host.

The series will send a group of celebs to an Italian villa where they will “shake down, hustle and whack their way to win up to $250,000 in cash prizes,” a press release says.

“Every episode, they will tackle mob movie-inspired jobs to survive,” the press release adds. “But every mob family needs a don, and whoever they choose will have absolute power — deciding who makes money, who stays, and who ultimately gets whacked.”

We’re months away from stepping back into the Dancing with the Stars ballroom, but two cast members are already preparing their dance moves.

The Traitors star Maura Higgins and Summer House star Ciara Miller were announced Wednesday as the first two cast members to join the upcoming season of DWTS.

Higgins and Miller were revealed as part of the next season’s cast at Hulu’s second Get Real House event held in Beverly Hills, California.

Higgins rose to fame on the fifth season of the British reality show Love Island in 2019, where she was a finalist.

She went on to become a presenter for Love Island USA, Love Island Games and Love Island USA: Aftersun.

Most recently, Higgins starred on the fourth season of The Traitors, where she was a runner-up as a “faithful.”

Miller, a former travel nurse and model, joined the fifth season of the hit Bravo reality show Summer House in 2021.

Many fans have shown support for Miller amid the show’s current season, airing now, after her castmates Amanda Batula and West Wilson, whom Miller dated previously, confirmed their romantic relationship in a joint statement shared on their separate Instagram Stories.

While fans are awaiting to see how things will unfold between Miller, Batula, and Wilson at the Summer House season 10 reunion, Miller is turning her attention to DWTS.

Robert Irwin is taking his ballroom experience to the next level.

The conservationist, zookeeper, and TV presenter is set to host a new Dancing with the Stars spinoff series called Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro.

At Hulu’s second annual Get Real House event in Beverly Hills, California, on April 22, Irwin was announced as the host for the highly anticipated new show, which will aim to find the next pro dancer for the next season of DWTS.

Irwin was crowned the season 34 winner of DWTS with his pro dance partner Witney Carson. The duo quickly became a fan-favorite pair as they lit up the dance floor each week on the reality competition show.

The new series will feature 12 “up-and-coming dancers who move into one house and compete in a grueling audition process, all vying for a coveted spot as a pro dancer on Season 35 of ‘Dancing with the Stars,'” Disney Entertainment Television Publicity said in a press release.

Three-time Mirrorball champion Mark Ballas and his mom Shirley Ballas, dubbed “The Queen of Latin,” will serve as judges on the show.

Returning pros will also appear as rotating mentors/guest judges.

BBC will produce the new show, while Conrad Green will serve as showrunner and executive producer.

Hulu’s realityverse came together at the Get Real House on Wednesday to celebrate some of the platform’s beloved shows and talent.

In addition to the Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro reveal, the event gave fans a front-row seat to some of Hulu’s biggest announcements, exclusive first-looks and surprise moments.

Miss You, Love You is headed to HBO.

The new film, which had a secret screening at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, is set to premiere to HBO on May 29. It will also be available to stream on HBO Max.

Miss You, Love You stars Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells, while Jim Rash wrote and directed it. Janney plays a grieving widow named Diane Patterson who is forced to plan her husband’s funeral with a complete stranger: her estranged son’s assistant, Jamie Simms, played by Rannells.

“As they fumble through grief and their strange, darkly funny circumstances, buried secrets and long-held resentments surface, but their partnership becomes an unlikely conduit for connection, laughter, and healing for this mother and her unexpected surrogate son,” according to the film’s official logline.

The film also stars Bonnie Hunt as Judith Bibbs, Suzy Nakamura as Kathy, Oscar Nuñez as Minister and Lisa Schurga as Nance.

“I’m absolutely thrilled! To be championed by HBO and included among their exemplary library of films and series is humbling. It’s the perfect home,” Rash said in a press release.

Francesca Orsi, the executive vice president of HBO Programming and head of HBO Drama series and films, said that “Jim Rash has crafted a film that masterfully navigates grief, family, and the weight of buried trauma with a comedic lightness that never undercuts its depth.”

She continued, “At its center, Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells deliver beautifully calibrated performances as Diane and Jamie, two people bound by loss, misunderstanding. We’re thrilled to bring this beautifully human story into the HBO Films family and can’t wait for audiences to experience it.”

At long last, the trailer for Coyote vs. Acme has arrived.

Ketchup Entertainment has released the official trailer for the upcoming live-action and animated hybrid movie, which pokes fun at the film’s history.

Iconic Looney Tunes characters star alongside Will Forte and John Cena in the film, which “centers on Wile E. Coyote as he takes legal action against the Acme Corporation for the countless faulty products that have hindered his relentless pursuit of the Road Runner,” according to its official synopsis.

Coyote vs. Acme was shelved by Warner Bros. Pictures in 2023. In 2024, Warner Bros. Discovery wrote off $115 million of their content as part of an earnings filing that they called a “strategic realignment plan associated with the Warner Bros. Pictures Animation group.” It is presumed Coyote vs. Acme was one of the projects that was affected by the decision. Ketchup Entertainment acquired the film in March 2025.

The new trailer hints at this history through subtle nods. After showing the Warner Bros. Discovery logo toward the beginning of the trailer, the logo, which previously read “WB,” flips and changes to “WAG,” with an asterisk noting fine print at the bottom of the screen. When zoomed into, the fine print reads, “A wholly owned subsidiary of the Acme corporation.”

Later in the trailer, title cards read, “The movie Acme doesn’t want you to see.” In the trailer’s final seconds, a voice says, “The Acme Corporation is releasing this film for accounting purposes only.”

Lana Condor, Tone Bell, P.J. Byrne and Martha Kelly also star in Coyote vs. Acme. It is directed by Dave Green with a screenplay written by May December scribe Samy Burch. James Gunn and Chris DeFaria produced the film.

Coyote vs. Acme blasts into theaters on Aug. 28.
