Goodbye, You.

Netflix has released the teaser trailer and release date for season 5 of its thriller series, You. The show, which stars Penn Badgley as the hopeless romantic killer Joe Goldberg, returns for its final season on April 24.

Joe’s journey to finding The One has taken him all over the world, from New York City to LA, San Francisco and London, but he’s back in the Big Apple for the final 10 episodes of the popular show.

“Hello, you. Do you remember me? ‘Cause I remember you. Here we are together again, back to where it began. A lot has happened these many years together. Identities, cities, loves. Complications,” Badgley’s Joe says via his signature voice-over narration in the trailer. “But all that led me here to now, to where I was always meant to be. And the one constant, the one thing that has always been there for me, is you.”

Charlotte Richie also returns in season 5 as Joe’s partner, Kate. The pair move to New York together, where we’re introduced to several new characters, including free-spirited playwright Bronte, played by Madeline Brewer, Joe’s brother-in-law Teddy, played by Griffin Matthews, and Joe’s twin sisters-in-law Raegan and Maddie, both portrayed by Anna Camp.

Natasha Behnam, Pete Ploszek, Tom Francis and Nava Mau also star in the fifth and final season of the Netflix show.

Fans will get a double dose of Sam Heughan Friday night. Right after Outlander’s season 7 finale airs on Starz, Heughan’s new show, The Couple Next Door, debuts its first episode on the channel.

Heughan stars as Danny, a husband with secrets, in the steamy relationship drama about two married couples who become entangled in each others’ suburban lives. While many fans would argue Heughan’s Outlander character Jamie Fraser is the perfect man, the Scottish actor tells ABC Audio it was refreshing to play a man with flaws in The Couple Next Door.

“I think it’s actually somehow more interesting,” he says. “Jamie Fraser always knows what to do in most situations. And that’s a great character to play. But it’s really interesting to play someone who’s maybe more morally ambiguous and makes bad decisions. Perhaps too many of them.”

Danny and his wife, Becka, played by Jessica De Gouw, are at a “crisis point” in their relationship just as a beautiful couple – played by Eleanor Tomlinson and Alfred Enoch – move in next door, making their lives all the more complicated.

“It’s make or break for them, I think,” Heughan says. “And this new couple coming in obviously is refreshing and new energy and new life and they welcome them into it. But it also has obviously big consequences.” 

The Couple Next Door airs on Starz Fridays at 9 p.m. ET.

Renée Zellweger is opening up about why she took a half-decade hiatus from acting, and it has to do with the sound of her voice.

In a recent interview with Hugh Grant for British Vogue, Grant asked Zellweger why she took a break from acting between the years 2010 and 2016.

“Because I needed to. I was sick of the sound of my own voice. When I was working, I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, listen to you. Are you sad again, Renée? Oh, is this your mad voice?’ It was a regurgitation of the same emotional experiences,” Zellweger said.

While she did not do any acting during her break, Zellweger said she kept up with her artistry by writing music, among other new hobbies she picked up.

The actress “studied international law. I built a house, rescued a pair of older doggies, created a partnership that led to a production company, advocated for and fundraised with a sick friend, and spent a lot of time with family and godchildren and driving across the country with the dogs. I got healthy” during her acting hiatus, she said.

Zellweger and Grant will reunite in the upcoming fourth Bridget Jones film, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, which streams on Peacock on Feb. 13.

Riley Keough is sharing how she wants to raise her kids differently than her own upbringing.

In an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast released on Wednesday, the actress, who is the eldest daughter of the late Lisa Marie Presley, opened up about her childhood, talked about the relationship she had with her mother and shared what she wants to instill in her children.

“I think she was such an amazing parent and she wanted us to have — I think her father did — these amazing experiences all the time,” Keough told host Alex Cooper. “For me personally, I think that the problem there could be for some that when you’re used to so much, it’s hard to find joy in simple things.”

“I really want my children to be able to find joy … just playing in the backyard and doing normal kid stuff and not need like elephants and circus and all these things all the time,” she said.

The actress also talked about the mother-daughter dynamic she had with Presley, who died in January 2023 at 54 from a small bowel obstruction. Keough said the dynamic with her mom “changed” when Presley “fell into her addiction.”

“There was a certain point, probably in my mid 20s, when I sort of became more of the caretaker in the relationship. And I think it was around when she became addicted to opiates,” Keough said.

As a mom to daughter Tupelo Storm, whom she shares with husband Ben Smith-Petersen, Keough said she doesn’t want to ever burden her kids and make them feel like they have to take care of her.

“I really am going to try my best,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s just inevitable, but as a parent, I don’t ever want my kids to feel like they have to take care of me, or unless they literally do. But I mean like emotionally, you know?”

“I don’t want my children to feel like my happiness is their responsibility,” she added.

The official trailer for Daredevil: Born Again is here at long last.

The clip centers around Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox), the blind lawyer by day and vigilante by night, and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio), the former mob boss, having an increasingly tense conversation at a diner intercut with bloody, bone-breaking action.

“I will admit, it’s not entirely unpleasant seeing you again,” Fisk says after Murdock thanks him for meeting him. “A lot of time has passed. By the look of it, you’ve come up in the world.”

Murdock returns the favor, saying, “I could say the same about you.”

Fisk defends his new title of mayor, claiming he’s the one who “serves his city,” but he’s quick to notice Murdock’s not buying it.

“I can see you’re not entirely convinced,” Fisk says. Murdock replies, “Can you blame me? I can’t shake the feeling that you’re gaming the system.”

Later in the trailer, Fisk suggests that “sometimes peace needs to be broken and chaos must reign.”

“I was raised to believe in grace, but I was also raised to believe in retribution,” Murdock says as the trailer comes to a close — but not before he meets up with Jon Bernthal‘s Frank Castle/The Punisher.

According to the series’ official synopsis, Murdock continues to “fight for justice” while Fisk “pursues his own political endeavors in New York,” adding, “When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.”

The series also stars Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Wilson Bethel, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini and Ayelet Zurer.

Daredevil: Born Again premieres on Disney+ on March 4 at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET.

Disney is the parent company of Marvel and ABC News.

Josh Gad is opening up about the public response to his portrayal of LeFou in the live-action Beauty and the Beast film.

In the actor’s new memoir, In Gad We Trust: A Tell-Some, he writes about the public backlash he received after his character danced with a man during a musical number in the 2017 film.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Gad wrote he “never once” played LeFou as a gay character, and a “sweet and innocuous moment” of dance choreography was taken out of context.

“I for one certainly didn’t exactly feel like LeFou was who the queer community had been wistfully waiting for,” Gad wrote. “I can’t quite imagine a Pride celebration in honor of the ‘cinematic watershed moment’ involving a quasi-villainous Disney sidekick dancing with a man for half a second. I mean, if I were gay, I’m sure I’d be pissed.”

Gad said he had discussions with director Bill Condon, as well as screenwriters Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos, about the specific nature of LeFou’s feelings for Gaston. Ultimately, Gad wrote, they decided that LeFou was simply in awe of Gaston, “and that was not driven by any sexual desire whatsoever but rather a deep-seated love, appreciation, and belief in this person he had served alongside in battle for many years.”

He also wrote that the team never discussed focusing on LeFou’s sexuality, which “frankly was not a thing to really explore in a random comedic character in the film … or so I thought.”

Through all of this, Gad wrote he would have loved to have played an explicitly gay version of LeFou, but that “never once was the moment in this film described to me as something that we were going to hang a lantern on and pat ourselves on the back for. … It was both too little and not enough to be anything more than it was.”

In Gad We Trust: A Tell-Some is available now. In a Tuesday morning appearance on The View, Gad said he plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from his book to those affected by the wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

There’s double the Robert De Niro in the new trailer for The Alto Knights.

The Oscar winner plays two roles — Vito Genovese and Frank Costello — in the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures film. It arrives in theaters on March 21.

Helmed by Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson, the film follows two of New York City’s most notorious organized crime bosses “as they vie for control of the city’s streets. Once the best of friends, petty jealousies and a series of betrayals place them on a deadly collision course that will reshape the Mafia (and America) forever,” according to the film’s official logline.

“Where do I start?” De Niro’s Frank Costello asks in the trailer. “You’re going down a very dangerous road.”

“And we ain’t been down dangerous roads before? That’s the risk you take. Me, I take that risk,” the Vito Genovese De Niro responds.

The film was inspired by the true story of the mob boss who brought about the downfall of the American mafia, according to the trailer. It was written by Goodfellas screenwriter and Oscar nominee Nicholas Pileggi, and produced by Oscar winner Irwin Winkler, who also produced Rocky and Goodfellas.

Debra Messing, Cosmo Jarvis, Katherine Narducci, Michael Rispoli, Michael Adler, Ed Amatrudo, Joe Bacino, Anthony J. Gallo, Wallace Langham, Louis Mustillo, Frank Piccirillo, Matt Serviet and Robert Uricola also star.
