Apple
Slow Horses season 5 now has a release date.
Apple announced the premiere date and first-look photos of the fifth season of the espionage drama series on Tuesday.
The Gary Oldman-starring show returns to Apple TV+ on Sept. 24. The six-episode season premieres with two episodes on that date, with one episode weekly on the Wednesdays that follow through Oct. 22.
Slow Horses follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents led by Jackson Lamb, played by Oldman.
In season 5, “everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend,” according to its official synopsis. “When a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected. After all, Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, the London Rules — cover your back — always apply.”
The cast also includes Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves and Jonathan Pryce. Ted Lasso star NickMohammed also joins season 5 in a guest star role.
Anthony Carrigan is opening up about the deeply personal connection he has to Superman.
The actor plays Metamorpho/Rex Mason in the upcoming James Gunn-directed Superman film and told Good Morning America that Christopher Reeve, who starred as the DC Comics superhero in the 1978 Superman film and its sequels, helped him embrace his alopecia, with which he was diagnosed as a child.
“When I was a kid, my mom told me about all of these actors and people who had alopecia, and she told me about Christopher Reeve,” Carrigan said at the film’s premiere in LA on Monday night.
Carrigan continued, “That was really special, because I really figured, well, if Superman could have alopecia, then I can have alopecia.”
Reeve, who portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films, was diagnosed with alopecia areata as a teen. He opened up about the disease in an interview with The New Yorker in 2003 and also spoke about the condition in his 1998 autobiography, StillMe.
Reeve died in October 2004 at the age of 52.
Alopecia is a blanket term for hair loss. According to the National Institutes of Health, there are different types of alopecia, and experts believe some types occur when a person’s immune system inappropriately targets their own hair follicles, which stifles hair growth.
There is no cure for alopecia but there are treatments, including steroid injections and oral steroids or various immunotherapies. Red light therapy may have benefits for some patients with certain types of hair loss, but not all, according to research published in the journal Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, available on the National Library of Medicine’s website.
Carrigan said knowing about Reeve’s struggle with alopecia was “a big deal for me” growing up.
“So knowing that I’m now part of Superman, I’m now part of this legacy,” he added.
In Gunn’s Superman, Metamorpho, also known as The Element Man, has the power of manipulation. In production notes for the film, Carrigan said his character can “turn himself into whatever he wants” because of this power.
“So, it’s a blessing and a curse. He, I think, sees it more as a curse,” he said. “He does not like the way that he looks, which I can certainly relate to. You know, growing up with alopecia, that was something that I wished that I could change about myself back then, and it really affected my self-esteem. It affected the way that I moved through the world. And so, that’s certainly a kind of aspect of this character that I feel like I can really relate to. But since then, since accepting that, it really has become a kind of superpower of mine, this different, unique look of mine.”
Did somebody order The Bear season 4 trailer? Yes, chef!
The official trailer for the fourth season of the FX series has arrived. Jeremy Allen White returns to his Emmy-winning lead role as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto in this upcoming batch of new episodes.
“People go to restaurants to be taken care of, to relax, to not have to think about anything else for a minute,” Carmy says in the new trailer. “It’s hard, and it’s brutal and that’s what makes it special.”
This time around, Carmy, Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) are “pushing forward, determined not only to survive, but also to take The Bear to the next level,” according to the season’s official synopsis. “With new challenges around every corner, the team must adapt, adjust and overcome. This season, the pursuit of excellence isn’t just about getting better – it’s about deciding what’s worth holding on to.”
Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis also appears as Carmy’s mother in the trailer. “Hi Bear,” she says to Carmy, who looks back at her stunned.
Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Matty Matheson, Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon also star in the new season.
