While fans of the Showtime series Yellowjackets (read our review of season 2 Here) patiently wait to see the bonus episode that’s going to air sometime between the second and third seasons, the third season of the show has already been filming in Canada, aiming for a 2025 premiere. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, cast member Christina Ricci started building the hype for Yellowjackets season 3 by saying it’s going to be more surprising and shocking than what came before… and it’s going to be brutal.
Ricci said, “This season is going to be even more shocking and surprising than the previous seasons. It’s definitely going to be brutal. But they also put a lot of comedy into it. So I think it’s just going to be… extremely Yellowjackets-y.“

Production on “Yellowjackets” Season 3 is well underway, and while we’ll likely have to wait until next year to watch it, star Christina Ricci does bring an exciting tease this week.
Ricci tells The Hollywood Reporter, “This season is going to be even more shocking and surprising than the previous seasons. It’s definitely going to be brutal. But they also put a lot of comedy into it. So I think it’s just going to be… extremely Yellowjackets-y.”
“Yellowjackets” Season 2 ended with Ricci’s character Misty accidentally killing Juliette Lewis’ character Natalie, and Ricci teases Misty’s mental state in the wake of that shocker.
She explains to THR, “She forgave herself for what she did to her friends in the wilderness, and I think she is someone who does get past things because she is a survivor. If events in her life were going to have destroyed her,...

Griffin Naffly (an excellent Everett Blunck), the 14-year-old protagonist of Nicolas Colia’s surprising charmer Griffin in Summer, holds himself to the highest standards. The aspiring playwright chooses to tackle big themes in his dramas, one- to two-act showcases of marital rows and stalled dreams. An excerpt of his latest work, Regrets of Autumn, didn’t resonate at his school talent show, but Griffin doesn’t really care. He dreams of moving to New York (when he turns 18, of course) and staging his plays at the Roundabout Theatre on Broadway.
While Griffin’s classmates get drunk off hard seltzer and explore adolescent romance, the serious-minded teenager plots regional artistic domination. He partners with his best friend Kara (Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret‘s Abby Ryder Fortson), an aspiring director, to put on his divorce drama about an alcoholic woman and her unfaithful husband. Imagine Ernest Hemingway’s...

Griffin Nafly (Everett Blunck) is not like other 14-year-olds. Consider his contribution to his school’s end-of-the-year talent show: a snippet of his latest play in which he reads for both lead roles, a disaffected stockbroker and his drunk wife, as they scream and carry on about everything from infidelity to abortions. While everyone else is happy with pop song duets, it’s Griffin — too old for his years, too young to really break free — who wants to bring some actual art to the suburban stage.
And while that might all be Ok, even kinda fun, the real problem isn’t just that Griffin isn’t like most other 14-year-olds, it’s that he’s not even really like his closest friends either. While his childhood pals, including “Are You There, God? It’s Me Margaret” breakout Abbie Ryder Fortson as his long-suffering second-in-command Kara, are moving into classic young adulthood — finding handsy boyfriends,...

As production continues on the second season of HBO's adaptation of best-selling survival horror video game, The Last of Us, we have another late casting addition in the form of an Academy Award-nominated actor.
Variety (via GameFragger.com) reports that Jeffrey Wright has signed on to play Isaac Dixon, the character he provided the voice for in The Last of Us Part II game.
This take on Isaac is described as “the quietly powerful leader of a large militia group who sought liberty but instead has become mired in an endless war against a surprisingly resourceful enemy.”
In the game, Isaac leads the Washington Liberation Front (Wlf), who are engaged in a long-running war against the fanatical Seraphites (Scars). Abby Anderson (Kaitlyn Dever) is his most trusted and valued soldier, but she soon begins to question his ruthless and uncompromising tactics.

As part of Variety‘s Global Conversations Summit at the Cannes 2024 Film Festival, Variety executive editor Tatiana Siegel sat down with New Zealand Film Commission CEO Annie Murray and Philippa Mossman, head of International Screen Attraction at New Zealand Film Commission, to talk about the country’s thriving film industry.
Murray’s most recent project is a pop-up intensive film school by writer and director Jane Campion. Campion has hand-picked a class of ten filmmakers from 300 applicants and is taking them through a two-year program where they will develop and shoot original short films.
“What’s really important to [Campion] is that all the participants are paid to attend,” Murray explained. “So that removes barriers. It’s a super diverse group and they have spent a year with Dame Jane, who is not taking a fee and so very generously giving her time. And now the next year is making their short films.

Yellowjackets Season 3 has officially started filming in the wilderness. Showtime teased that the new season of the drama has started production.
The network dropped a carousel of photos on social media teasing what’s ahead for the new season, alongside the caption, “We know you’re starving.”
Season 3 of the series will air in 2025, as production on the psychological thriller was delayed due to the writers’ and actors’ strike.

Season 3 will see showrunners Bart Nickerson and Jonathan Lisco directing episode two episodes, with Nickerson taking on episode 301, and Lisco will be directing episode 303.
Pre-production for Season 3 of the drama was shut down a day after the WGA strike began in May 2023. Once the strike was over, the writers room for Yellowjackets reopened in September.

Yellowjackets fans will be eating good soon as season 3 will be on its way to your screens with production officially starting. The third year of our favorite schoolgirls was one of the victims of a great delay due to the dual union strikes in Hollywood last year. However, there would be a bonus episode in between the second and third season that would whet viewers’ appetites before the true continuation occurred.
The official Yellowjackets account on social media has just dropped an announcement that filming on season 3 has officially taken off. The announcement is followed by some teaser photos of the camp with one picture showcasing the script for the premiere episode. The post reads, “We know you’re starving… #Yellowjackets Season 3 is officially in production.” Which is then followed by a clapperboard emoji and a bee yellowjacket emoji. You can view the photos below.

Showtime has taken to social media this afternoon to announce that “Yellowjackets” Season 3 is officially in production, and they’ve also shared behind the scenes photos from the set.
One of the photos reveals that the “Yellowjackets” Season 3 premiere was written by Jonathan Lisco & Ashley Lyle & Bart Nickerson, with Nickerson seated in the director’s chair.
Lyle & Nickerson created the hit series, while Lisco is the showrunner.
You can check out the social media announcement below.
It’s likely we’ll have to wait until 2025 for Season 3, but we had learned last June that a special bonus episode will come along before the new season premieres. So stay tuned for that.

Melanie Lynskey only appears a handful of times in , but each of her scenes packs a punch — and not just because she hurls prescription bottles at on-screen husband Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) after she catches him cheating. In a movie where the loudest and most belligerent voices take center stage, she infuses June Mindy with a quiet determination that drowns out the nonsense around her.
Lynskey’s talent shouldn’t come as a surprise: The New Zealand–born actor has been stealing scenes since 1994, when she made her big screen debut alongside Kate Winslet in Peter Jackson’s Heavenly Creatures. Since then, she’s made a career out of playing relatable women... or, at the very least, the ones who tend to carry dark, twisty secrets under a soft-spoken, unflappable exterior.

HBO’s The Last of Us broke the streak of unsuccessful video game adaptations and proved that games can be smoothly translated into other media. Besides the general audiences, even the fans of the games applauded the series to be one of the most perfect adaptations. However, the same can’t be said for the upcoming Season 2.

One of the most noticeable omissions from the 2023 Emmy nominations was “The Crown” star Imelda Staunton, who was generally considered a safe bet since her predecessors in the role of Queen Elizabeth II – Claire Foy and Olivia Colman – had never failed to garner TV academy recognition. As she now seeks redemption in the form of a farewell win (just like Foy and Colman achieved in 2018 and 2021), multiple factors give her a better standing in the race compared to last year.
Based on the Emmy nominations predictions of over 2,000 Gold Derby users, Staunton is currently in second place behind Best Drama Actress frontrunner (and 2020 nominee) Jennifer Aniston (“The Morning Show”). At this time last year, Staunton was in the same spot (behind Melanie Lynskey of “Yellowjackets”), albeit with significantly longer odds (11/2 versus the present 4/1) and less than 7% of the top choice votes, whereas she currently holds 19%.

Lali Sokolow kept a secret for 60 years before his story of love and survival in a Nazi death camp was captured in The Tattooist of Auschwitz — the novel that inspired the Peacock limited series of the same name, which released its six episodes on Thursday.
Sokolow, after reaching the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in 1942, eventually tattooed identifying serial numbers on the arms of fellow Jewish prisoners who were deemed fit to work and weren’t directed immediately to the gas chambers during the Holocaust. And collaborating with the Nazis by taking on the duties of a tattooist to stay alive caused Sokolow a life of guilt, fear and paranoia.
But his three years in Auschwitz also gave Lali the love of his life: Gita Furman, an 18-year-old Slovakian Jewish prisoner he instantly fell for the moment he put a painful needle into her skin to imprint a five-number tattoo. “I tattooed...

The Last of Us: Part 2 is seen by many as one of the most prominent games of the last generation. The reason for that is simple enough: most gamers loved this game’s writing. They loved the story, and they empathized with most of its characters. There were a bunch of naysayers too, but every game has its critics.
Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann put a lot of work into this sequel. Not just its story, but its dialogue, its music, and its motion capture—every element of this game screamed perfection. Besides being a perfect example of an excellent action survival horror game, The Last of Us: Part 2 was also full of numerous references. But one of them hit harder than others, and there was a huge reason why the developers included it in the game.

Specific images of the Holocaust have endlessly punctuated the film and TV landscape: The barbed wire of a concentration camp. Naked bodies rendered to skin and bone, tossed in discarded piles. Gleeful abuse and random killings by evil Nazis. Hollywood has repeatedly ingrained that imagery when presenting this horrific time in history, so to continue conjuring it adds to the collective trauma of an entire people.
Yet all these displays and more are the Sky Studios and Peacock co-production “The Tattooist of Auschwitz.” That makes it a challenging show to sit through, let alone binge six episodes of, when the event series drops on Peacock on May 2.
The series finds inspiration in Heather Morris’ controversial, bestselling 2018 book of the same name. Morris wrote the debut novel after spending time with a Slovakian Holocaust survivor named Lali Sokolov (nee Ludwig Eisenberg), who was a tattooist at Auschwitz II-Birkenau.

In Nazi concentration camps, tattoos were etched on prisoners’ arms in an attempt to erase their humanity, turning them into numbers. The Tattooist of Auschwitz, a wrenching but ultimately uplifting six-part series adapted from the non-fiction novel by Heather Morris, corrects this atrocity by repeatedly presenting a stark gallery of somber faces, among the millions lost to history but burned into the memory of Auschwitz-Birkenau survivor Lali Sokolov (an affecting Harvey Keitel). Still overcome with anger, grief and guilt in 2003, more than a half-century after the Holocaust, the recently widowed Lali recounts the horrors to novice writer Morris (Melanie Lynskey), framing his account as the most unlikely of love stories. It was in Auschwitz, assigned to tattoo numbers onto incoming prisoners—“It’s worse if you’re gentle,” he’s told—that the cautious Lali (mournful Jonah Hauer-King as the younger man) meets and is instantly smitten by new arrival...

The Tattooist of Auschwitz has a distinctive way of way of marking death. Each time someone passes, the drama pauses on a moving portrait of their face in life, against the grim toll of a bell. Sometimes, it’s how we learn a character we’ve been following for several episodes has been killed. At others, it’s the only good look we get at people whose names we never even learn before they’re slaughtered.
Always, it’s hard to bear. Their eyes bore right through the camera, their expressions unreadable and their thoughts unknowable. Each stare nonetheless lands as a plea — for us to notice, to remember, to not look away — and the Peacock miniseries takes seriously the responsibility to bear witness.

The way Jason Ritter proposed to Melanie Lynskey was so low-key that she didn’t even know he was proposing.
While appearing on The Tonight Show on Monday, Lynskey shared with host Jimmy Fallon that Ritter had to redo their engagement because his first one was “so confusing.”
“The day before, I had been looking at rings, and I tried one on,” she recalled. “I was like, ‘Oh, it kind of looks like an engagement ring, almost. I don’t think I’m going to get it.'”
Ritter then got her the ring and when he gave it to her, Lynskey thanked him for it, thinking it was just a considerate gift. “It didn’t sort of cross my mind [that it was a proposal],” she told Fallon.
“And then there was this strange speech,” Lynskey continued. “We were just sort of sitting there. He had paused whatever [was on TV], The Bachelor. And I was just sort of like,...

Melanie Lynskey apparently never has to nag Jason Ritter to take out the garbage.
Lynskey had recent starring roles in Candy, The Last of Us and Yellowjackets. She credits Ritter with taking care of her and their 5-year-old daughter while she focuses on work.

Melanie Lynskey recently told People magazine that her husband and fellow actor Jason Ritter has sacrificed his own career in recent years so that hers could flourish. Lynskey has been on a roll lately with an Emmy-nominated and series regular role on Showtime’s “Yellowjackets,” plus acclaimed supporting turns in “The Last of Us,” “Candy” and more. None of this career success would be possible had Ritter not put his own acting career on pause to help raise their five-year-old daughter while Lynskey took acting gigs.
“He’s the most supportive person in the world,” Lynskey told the publication. “The last few years we’ve had this role of like, whoever’s job makes the most sense, whether it’s the most exciting career wise or it’s more money, we would prioritize the one that was going to help move the person’s career forward.”

Drew Barrymore went in a different direction in the ’90s, as the long-time star has now confirmed that she once opted to play Cinderella instead of a porn star. The actress recently shared on an episode of her eponymous talk show “The Drew Barrymore Show” (via The Hollywood Reporter) that she did in fact turn down a role in “Boogie Nights.” Barrymore has long been rumored to have been considered for the Rollergirl part, which later went to Heather Graham.
“It’s so hard when you, like, are thinking of doing a film and then you don’t end up doing it,” Barrymore said. “I have so many of those experiences. I’ve never said this out loud, ‘Boogie Nights.’ There was a moment where we were talking about ‘Boogie Nights’ and I think it’s when I went and did ‘Ever After’ [‘A Cinderella Story’] and I went in a very different direction.

Melanie Lynskey is praising husband Jason Ritter for putting his own acting career on hold for her success.
“He’s the most supportive person in the world,” the Yellowjackets star told People magazine about Ritter, whom she began dating in 2013 and married in 2020. “The last few years we’ve had this role of like, whoever’s job makes the most sense, whether it’s the most exciting career wise or it’s more money, we would prioritize the one that was going to help move the person’s career forward.”
Lynskey added that her success comes at the expense of Ritter’s work, as he has been “getting offered stuff all the time” but has passed on roles in support of his wife. “It’s like genuinely sacrificing,” she said.
The actress also credited the Parenthood alum for encouraging her to take on her memorable role in the first season of The Last of Us.

As you prep your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best Drama Actress, make sure you check out our photo gallery showcasing the likeliest contenders. None of last year’s half dozen nominees – including winner Sarah Snook (“Succession”) – are eligible this time, leaving plenty of slots open for both newcomers and past hopefuls.
All of Snook’s 2023 challengers differ from her in that their shows are still in production (albeit delayed until at least late 2024). They are Sharon Horgan (“Bad Sisters”), Melanie Lynskey (“Yellowjackets”), Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), Bella Ramsey (“The Last of Us”), and Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”).
With all of those actresses out of the running, the current race leader is Jennifer Aniston (“The Morning Show”), who was recognized for the same series in 2020 and won Best Comedy Actress for “Friends” in 2002. Her “Morning Show” cast mate, Reese Witherspoon, is expected to join her in the lineup after having competed...

Barbra Streisand has recorded a new song, “Love Will Survive,” for the final scene of the Peacock and Sky drama The Tattooist of Auschwitz, the singer’s first-ever recording for a TV series.
In an Instagram post, Streisand writes, “My new song ‘Love Will Survive’ from the upcoming Sky/Peacock Original Limited Series The Tattooist of Auschwitz will be released on April 25th. Because of the rise in antisemitism around the world today, I wanted to sing ‘Love Will Survive’ in the context of this series, as a way of remembering the six-million souls who were lost less than 80 years ago. And also to say that even in the darkest of times, the power of love can triumph and endure.”

Barbra Streisand has released her first song in six years, titled “Love Will Survive” — and it’s her first work for an onscreen project in 12 years, since she herself last appeared in a movie, 2012’s “The Guilt Trip.”
“Love Will Survive,” composed by Hans Zimmer and Kara Talve, will be Streisand’s end title anthem for the credits of Peacock and Sky limited series “The Tattooist of Auschwitz,” based on the WWII-set novel of the same name. Melanie Lynskey portrays real-life author Heather Morris, who interviewed Holocaust survivor Lali Sokolov (Harvey Keitel) about meeting his future wife Gina (Anna Próchniak) in a concentration camp. The novel is inspired by the real-life love story of Lali and Gita Sokolov, who met while prisoners in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during the Holocaust. He had been ordered to tattoo serial numbers on prisoners’ arms.
This is Streisand’s first recording for a TV series.

Barbra Streisand is looking to make the final scene in The Tattooist of Auschwitz memorable and poignant as the credits roll after recording a new song, “Love Will Survive,” for the Peacock and Sky original drama.
Marking her first ever recording for a TV series, Streisand has performed the end title anthem for the series about two young Jewish prisoners in the Nazi concentration camp who fall in love and commit themselves to survive the Holocaust together.
Hans Zimmer and Kara Talve composed the original song for the limited series that stars Harvey Keitel, Melanie Lynskey, Jonah Hauer-King, Anna Próchniak and Jonas Nay, and which Streisand recorded to in part recall the memory of the Holocaust and the specter of antisemitism resurfacing again.
