The third season of Heartstopper is coming to Netflix this fall, and it will be as star-studded as it gets. Jonathan Bailey, Hayley Atwell, and Eddie Marsan will play key supporting roles when Heartstopper returns for its third season in October.

Rumors about Bailey’s potential casting started circling last month, and things are finally official. Heartstopper team teased his casting with a short video that sees him playing Jack Maddox, an Instagram-famous writer who just happens to be Charlie’s celebrity crush.

In addition to the Bridgerton actor, Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter) and Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan) will also star in Season 3. Atwell will play Nick’s Aunt Diane, who takes him to Menorca over the summer, while Marsan joined the cast as Charlie’s wise and straight-talking therapist Geoff.

Alice Oseman, who created this series for Netflix, is looking forward to welcoming the new cast members on board.

“I am incredibly excited to be welcoming three new cast members to the Heartstopper family… It was an absolute joy to see Hayley, Eddie, and Jonathan’s talent alongside our existing cast, and I can’t wait for the Heartstopper fans to meet these new characters,” said Oseman in a statement.

Joe Locke and Nick Nelson lead Heartstopper as Charlie and Nick, while the supporting cast includes William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser, Rhea Norwood, and Leila Khan.

Luca Guadagnino’s tennis film Challengers is serving some drama in the theatres right now, and people can’t get enough of its leading trio Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist. If you’re in the mood to explore their filmography, here are three shows worth checking out.

Zendaya – Euphoria

Zendaya rose to prominence as the star of Disney Channel shows Shake It Up and K.C. Undercover, but those days are long behind her. She’s now best known as the star of HBO’s hit teen drama Euphoria, which won her two Emmy Awards for the best lead actress in a drama.

Josh O’Connor – The Crown

If Zendaya’s co-star Josh O’Connor looks familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen him in The Crown. These two projects perfectly illustrate his range and his volatile Challengers characters in nothing like his Emmy-winning portrayal of Prince Charles in Netflix’s royal drama.

Mike Faist – Panic

Mike Faist is best known as the theatre actor, who made a successful transition to Hollywood with the role in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. He doesn’t have too many notable TV credits under his belt yet, but his Amazon Prime Video series Panic about a group of high school seniors taking part in a deadly competition to win a life-changing prize is worth checking out.

It’s been over a decade since Steve Carell and Tina Fey co-starred in Date Night, and they’re finally ready to join forces again. Carell joined Fey in the upcoming Netflix comedy series The Four Seasons, based on the hit ’80s movie of the same name.

The star-studded cast of the original film included Alan Alda, Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno, and Jack Weston, and it centered on three couples who vacation together every season. Their group dynamic is forever changed when one of the couples files for a divorce.

The Four Seasons will reunite Fey with 30 Rock alums Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, who co-created this series by her side. They’ll all be credited as executive producers alongside David Miner, Eric Gurian, and Jeff Richmond.

Fey and Carell previously led Shawn Levy’s romantic comedy Date Night in 2010. They were both at the peak of their fame at the time, leading NBC’s hit sitcoms 30 Rock and The Office.

The Four Seasons will mark Carell’s first major TV role since he starred in Netflix’s workplace comedy Space Force and Hulu’s psychological thriller The Patient in 2022. He has several high-profile voice roles lined up this year, including Despicable Me 4 and John Krasinski’s IF.

The second season of Wednesday has been a long time coming, and the more we learn about it—the more excited we are! The Season 2 cast is shaping up to be amazing, and Thandiwe Newton is the latest actress joining Jenna Ortega for the next chapter of this story.

Wednesday premiered on Netflix back in 2022 and became a huge pop-culture phenomenon and the streamer’s second-most-watched English-language series in history. It chronicled the adventures of the teenage Wednesday Addams during her time at Nevermore Academy, and it’s safe to assume that the class will be back in session in Season 2.

Newton will play a mystery character in the show’s next season, but she isn’t the first notable star to join Wednesday in recent weeks. Hollywood veteran Steve Buscemi will also be a part of the Season 2 cast, and it’s rumored he’ll play the new principal of Nevermore Academy, replacing Gwendoline Christie.

Thandiwe Newton is best known as the star of HBO’s sci-fi series Westworld, which earned her three Emmy nominations for best supporting actress in a drama series during its run. Her recent credits include voice roles in Big Mouth and Human Resources and lead roles in thriller films God’s Country and All the Old Knives.

Callum Turner is fresh off starring in the Apple TV+ series Masters of the Air, and he’s already gearing up for his next collaboration with the streamer. The British actor landed a lead role in the TV adaptation of William Gibson’s cult cyberpunk novel Neuromancer.

According to the streamer’s official logline, this series will follow a “damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high stakes crime with his partner Molly, a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes, aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets.”

William Gibson published Neuromancer in 1984, and this cult novel is often credited for birthing the cyberpunk genre. It made history as the only novel to ever win all three major sci-fi awards – Nebula Award, Philip K. Dick Award, and Hugo Award – and marked the start of the author’s Sprawl trilogy.

Apple’s adaptation of Neuromancer was co-created by its showrunner Graham Roland and JD Dillard, who’ll direct the pilot. It will feature a total of ten episodes.

Turner most recently starred in the war drama mini-series Masters of the Air. His notable credits also include the Fantastic Beasts franchise, the films Emma and The Boys on the Boat, and the TV series War & Peace and The Capture.

NBC’s pilot Grosse Pointe Garden Society is rounding out a pretty impressive cast, and another amazing actress just hopped on board. Aja Naomi King is the latest star to join Melissa Fumero and AnnaSophia Robb in this promising drama pilot.

Grosse Pointe Garden Society will center on four members of a suburban garden club from different walks of life, whose peaceful hobby takes a sinister turn when they get caught up in murder and mischief while struggling to make their conventional lives bloom.

King’s character Catherine is described as “an unhappily married mother of two younger children, a realtor and active member of the Garden Society who works off some of her loneliness with a very juicy secret.”

She’ll be joined by Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), AnnaSophia Robb (Dr. Death), and Ben Rappaport (Ozark), who’ve been cast as Birdie, Alice, and Brett, the remaining three members of Grosse Pointe Garden Society.

Aja Naomi King rose to prominence while starring opposite Viola Davis in the legal drama How To Get Away With Murder.

It’s been over a decade since The Office ended its run, and rumors about its potential spin-off have been circling for years. The offshoot series is finally taking shape, and Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore are reportedly eyeing lead roles in this project.

After years of speculations about a potential The Office reboot, things finally started looking promising earlier this year. Greg Daniels, the creator of the original series, opened a development room with trusted writers back in January to explore new series ideas.

He found a perfect partner in crime in the Nathan For You co-creator Michael Koman, who’s joining him as co-writer of the new spin-off. Not much is known about this project, but it’s believed it would focus on a new cast of characters working at a new office, that exits in the same universe as the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company from Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Domhnall Gleeson, who previously co-starred alongside The Office leading man Steve Carell in The Patient, has been tapped to play one of the lead roles. He most recently starred in the Channel 4 mini-series Alice & Jack and HBO’s historical drama White House Plumbers.

Sabrina Impacciatore will also star in the spin-off series alongside Gleeson. She’s best known as the star of the second season of The White Lotus, which earned her an Emmy nomination for best supporting actress in a drama series.

It’s been three decades since Molly Shannon and Steve Koren met on the set of Saturday Night Live, and their next collaboration is on the way. The Emmy-nominated actress will lead Koren’s untitled HBO comedy series about a woman addicted to celebrity gossip.

Shannon will play a woman who gets so obsessed with celebrity gossip that her friends and family decide to intervene. She agrees to get help at a fancy celebrity rehab in Malibu, where she develops a strong connection with her favorite young starlet, and must make a choice between joining her in Hollywood or going back home and confronting her demons.

This series hails from Steve Koren, who met Molly Shannon during her time on Saturday Night Live. They worked on many sketches by each other’s side, including the ones involving her iconic character Mary Katherine Gallagher, which inspired a spin-off film Superstar, written by Koren.

They’ll both executive produce this upcoming HBO series, alongside Shannon’s longtime manager Steven Levy. Koren previously wrote films starring several other SNL alums, including Adam Sandler’s Click and Eddie Murphy’s A Thousand Words.

Shannon is fresh off starring in the Showtime comedy I Love That For You, and she recently landed a supporting role on the next season of Only Murders in the Building.

It made history as the only novel to ever win all three major sci-fi awards – Nebula Award, Philip K. Dick Award, and Hugo Award – and marked the start of the author’s Sprawl trilogy.

Apple’s adaptation of Neuromancer was co-created by its showrunner Graham Roland and JD Dillard, who’ll direct the pilot. It will feature a total of ten episodes.

Turner most recently starred in the war drama mini-series Masters of the Air. His notable credits also include the Fantastic Beasts franchise, the films Emma and The Boys on the Boat, and the TV series War & Peace and The Capture.

NBC’s pilot Grosse Pointe Garden Society is rounding out a pretty impressive cast, and another amazing actress just hopped on board. Aja Naomi King is the latest star to join Melissa Fumero and AnnaSophia Robb in this promising drama pilot.

Grosse Pointe Garden Society will center on four members of a suburban garden club from different walks of life, whose peaceful hobby takes a sinister turn when they get caught up in murder and mischief while struggling to make their conventional lives bloom.

King’s character Catherine is described as “an unhappily married mother of two younger children, a realtor and active member of the Garden Society who works off some of her loneliness with a very juicy secret.”

She’ll be joined by Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), AnnaSophia Robb (Dr. Death), and Ben Rappaport (Ozark), who’ve been cast as Birdie, Alice, and Brett, the remaining three members of Grosse Pointe Garden Society.

Aja Naomi King rose to prominence while starring opposite Viola Davis in the legal drama How To Get Away With Murder. She most recently appeared in the mini-series Lessons in Chemistry alongside Brie Larson, which earned her a Critics’ Choice Television Awards nomination for the best supporting actress in a movie/miniseries.

Grace & Frankie creator Marta Kauffman is finally plotting her next series with Amazon MGM Studios, and this project just found its leads. June Diane Raphael and Paul Scheer will lead the pilot for DINKS, described as an improvisational style multi-cam comedy.

DINKS stands short for “Dual Income No Kids”, and it will center on the couple Josh (Scheer) and Charlie (Raphael). They decided to build a life together despite not being married or having kids and pour their energy into renovating their nightmare of a dream house.

Marta Kauffman serves as writer and showrunner of the project, which she’s also executive producing through her Okay Goodnight banner, alongside Amazon MGM Studios and Lionsgate Television. She co-wrote the pilot with Hannah K.S. Canter, while Alex Fernie is on board as a director.

DINKS will reunite Kauffman with Raphael, who’ll also serve as one of the EPs. She was one of the series regulars on Grace & Frankie, which ran on Netflix for seven seasons. We’ve recently seen her play guest roles in Based on a True Story, Abbott Elementary, and The Morning Show.

Paul Scheer is Raphael’s husband and long-time collaborator, best known as the star of comedy shows The League, Veep, and Fresh Off the Boat. He’ll also be credited as an executive producer.

It’s been over a decade since The Office ended its run, and rumors about its potential spin-off have been circling for years. The offshoot series is finally taking shape, and Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore are reportedly eyeing lead roles in this project.

After years of speculations about a potential The Office reboot, things finally started looking promising earlier this year. Greg Daniels, the creator of the original series, opened a development room with trusted writers back in January to explore new series ideas.

He found a perfect partner in crime in the Nathan For You co-creator Michael Koman, who’s joining him as co-writer of the new spin-off. Not much is known about this project, but it’s believed it would focus on a new cast of characters working at a new office, that exits in the same universe as the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company from Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Domhnall Gleeson, who previously co-starred alongside The Office leading man Steve Carell in The Patient, has been tapped to play one of the lead roles. He most recently starred in the Channel 4 mini-series Alice & Jack and HBO’s historical drama White House Plumbers.

Sabrina Impacciatore will also star in the spin-off series alongside Gleeson. She’s best known as the star of the second season of The White Lotus, which earned her an Emmy nomination for best supporting actress in a drama series.

It’s been three decades since Molly Shannon and Steve Koren met on the set of Saturday Night Live, and their next collaboration is on the way. The Emmy-nominated actress will lead Koren’s untitled HBO comedy series about a woman addicted to celebrity gossip.

Shannon will play a woman who gets so obsessed with celebrity gossip that her friends and family decide to intervene. She agrees to get help at a fancy celebrity rehab in Malibu, where she develops a strong connection with her favorite young starlet, and must make a choice between joining her in Hollywood or going back home and confronting her demons.

This series hails from Steve Koren, who met Molly Shannon during her time on Saturday Night Live. They worked on many sketches by each other’s side, including the ones involving her iconic character Mary Katherine Gallagher, which inspired a spin-off film Superstar, written by Koren.

They’ll both executive produce this upcoming HBO series, alongside Shannon’s longtime manager Steven Levy. Koren previously wrote films starring several other SNL alums, including Adam Sandler’s Click and Eddie Murphy’s A Thousand Words.

Shannon is fresh off starring in the Showtime comedy I Love That For You, and she recently landed a supporting role on the next season of Only Murders in the Building.
