This Is the Mount Rushmore of Vampire Movies
Vampires movies have been around since the beginning of the horror genre. With an undead force stalking its victims in the dark, the subgenre feels like a mashup of zombie movies, slashers, and creature features, while being something so much more. Sometimes vampires are purely there to scare, other times they’re sympathetic, and often sensuality and romance are involved, with a once living person now cursed by an insatiable desire.
Because they’ve been part of film for over a century, limiting the absolute best and most important vampire movies to just four is a challenge. This means omitting the likes of The Lost Boys, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Interview With a Vampire, and all of those Christopher Lee Hammer Films. So which four make it as the faces of the vampire Mount Rushmore?
‘Nosferatu’ (1922)
There is no list like this that does not begin with Nosferatu, the first ever vampire movie. Although it’s an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker‘s novel Dracula, director F.W. Murnau is not restrained. Nosferatu follows familiar beats, with Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a vampire who travels across the ocean to Germany, complete with a plague in tow. Once he lands, he sets his sights on Ellen Hutter (Greta Schröder), the only woman who may be able to bring an end to his terror.
Nosferatu is a course in filmmaking and how to overcome limitations. Because it’s 1922, this is a silent film, meaning that the film must succeed based on its visuals. Murnau uses German Expressionism, a form of storytelling with the emotion layered on the screen through the use of lighting and twisted shapes. Nosferatu is filled with dark corners and elongated shadows, like the terrifying shots which show Orlok’s visage lit against a wall, or in a brilliant moment, his long hand reaching out. Max Schreck becomes the character, so much so that his peculiar performance led to the biopic Shadow of a Vampire starring Willem Dafoe. With his long face, pointy ears, and rat-like teeth, Orlok will send chills down your spine from a century away. There have been reboots of Noseferatu, but none did so much with so little.
‘Dracula’ (1931)
The most famous vampire movie ever made came nine years later with Tod Browning‘s Dracula. The plot is close to what Nosferatu had already done, except with the addition of Van Helsing (Edward Van Sloan) as the famed vampire hunter, and a much different representation of the villain. Rather than being monstrous, the titular Dracula, with Bela Lugosi in the role, is a suave, sophisticated antagonist with his cape, bow tie, and slicked back hair. He’s portrayed as more man-like than a horrendous creature. The pop culture representations of Dracula now, from the Hammer films to the Count in Sesame Street, started here. Bela Lugosi IS Dracula, no matter how many other adaptations there have been.
Notably, this is the first variation of Dracula to appear on-screen with sound, allowing the audience to hear what the Count sounds like with his thick, rolling, hypnotic accent. Browning nails the gothic horror aesthetic while continuing to employ the German Expressionism-like style of filmmaking that focuses on shadows and atmosphere. The director also takes his time, letting the dread slowly build, and using the tension of silence to great effect. Maybe Dracula is dated for some modern audiences, but this is the most iconic vampire movie and always will be. Dracula is a moving history lesson playing out right in front of your eyes.
‘Let the Right One In’ (2008)
There were countless vampire movies between 1931 and 2008. So why does the Swedish film Let the Right One In find itself on Mount Rushmore? Because it takes everything we know about vampires and turns it on its head, defying expectations to take a well-worn subgenre in a fresh direction. Based on a novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist, Tomas Alfredson (Tinker Tailor Solider Spy) directs this unique coming-of-age film about a bullied boy named Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) in desperate need of a friend. He finds one in an odd girl new to town named Eli (Lina Leandersson). The twist is that Eli is a centuries-old vampire. However, rather than Oskar’s life being in danger, Let the Right One In is a sweet story about friendship and what two people will do for each other.
Vampire movies often relegate the undead to the role of the antagonist. Let the Right One In switches that up by making Eli the hero. She’s a dangerous, bloodthirsty killer, for sure, but she’s written as a creature in pain who needs someone even more than Oskar does. Rather than fearing Eli, both the audience and Oskar fall for her through one shocking twist to the next. Alfredson doesn’t overdo it with his direction. Rather than being too stylish, he stands back and lets the kids tell the stories, dipping in here and there to show the contrast of deep red blood on white snow. It’s a sad story, but Let the Right One In has one of the most messed-up, feel-good endings in horror history.
‘Sinners’ (2025)
Will Ryan Coogler ever make a bad movie? If anything, the writer and director only seems to be getting better, and Sinners proves it. Yet again, he teams up with Michael B. Jordan in what may be his most challenging role yet, because this time, he plays two characters, twin brothers Smoke and Stack. The first third of the movie isn’t a vampire movie at all. Instead, it’s a well-shot period piece about siblings in 1930s Mississippi who start their own juke joint. There’s already enough drama with local racists and the return of love interest Mary (Hailee Steinfeld). Then the vampires show up, led by the terrifying Remmick (Jack O’Connell), and all hell breaks loose.
Sinners made history by becoming the most nominated film in Academy Award history. It more than deserves every single one of them. Coogler’s directing is flawless. Jordan makes you forget that he’s playing two different people on screen at the same time. Veteran actor Delroy Lindo shines. The cinematography is stunning, the costumes impeccable. Sinners has it all. There’s a deep message there about racism. Rather than being a downer of a movie though, Sinners is also a celebration of Black culture, especially with the transformative history of Black music scene. Even if those aspects were missing, Sinners is still a great vampire movie. What puts it on Mount Rushmore is that it’s so much more.

“Reba” cast reunites for first time in 19 years on “Happy's Place”, immediately prank call former co-star
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/Joanna-Swisher-Happys-place-121-03122026-edc49884dc7f4205bf9c6f9e00f0a99d.jpg)
JoAnna Garcia Swisher, who played McEntire’s daughter for six seasons, guest stars on the March 13 episode of “Happy’s Place.”
After waiting for over a year, viewers finally found out who died in the newest season of Virgin River.
The season 6 finale, which aired in December 2024, showed Jack (Martin Henderson) arriving at Charmaine’s (Lauren Hammersley) home, only to find a startling scene.
When the hit Netflix series returned for season 7 on Thursday, March 12, it was confirmed that Charmaine was kidnapped while Calvin (Josh Blacker) had been killed.
Charmaine was the main suspect since she was nowhere to be found. Brie (Zibby Allen), however, figured out that the mom of two was taken hostage and ultimately connected it back to Charmaine’s boss Grant (Alessandro Juliani).
Virgin River is almost back for season 7 after ending on a major cliffhanger for Charmaine. During the season 6 finale, which aired in December 2024, Lauren Hammersley‘s divisive character appeared to go missing when her home was found ransacked. Charmaine and her twin babies were gone, which caused concern among fans about whether they […]
Grant claimed he killed Calvin to protect Charmaine. He was ultimately arrested for murdering Calvin and abducting Charmaine.
“I knew somebody was dead, but I wasn’t sure who exactly it was until I knew what it would lead to,” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told TV Line on Thursday. “I saw the potential in what the different [options] were, but I wanted to explore all the different choices to see which played best in the totality of the season.”
Smith called Calvin’s death a “convenient” way to end Calvin’s story. He noted that Calvin has “already come back from the dead and wants his children and has murdered people. [The actor was recast in season 6] as well, so it just felt like an opportunity to clean that out.”
Season 7 of Virgin River went through several cast changes. News broke on Thursday that Marco Grazzini won’t be returning as a series regular.
Netflix’s longest-running scripted series Virgin River has gone through some surprising cast changes — so who is expected to appear in season 7? Based on Robyn Carr’s book series, Virgin River follows the lives of residents living in a small town in Northern California, including Mel and Jack. The hit series, which premiered in 2019, […]
“Character departures are very common in this business — especially on a long-running and beloved series like Virgin River,” Grazzini, 45, who has been on the show since season 2, told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s been a wonderful opportunity to play Mike for six seasons.”
Grazzini said he has “nothing but love for the cast, crew and especially the phenomenal fans who make the show so special,” adding, “I’m excited for this new chapter in my career.”
In addition to Grazzini, Lauren Hammersley, who has been playing Charmaine since the show premiered on Netflix in 2019, is also not expected to come back. With the exception of Grazzini, the rest of Virgin River‘s season 7 series regulars are expected to return in season 8.
This isn’t the first time the show has gone through some changes behind the scenes. Grayson Gurnsey left as Ricky after season 4, and Mark Ghanimé, who played Cameron, had a surprising exit once season 6 was released.
Virgin River is currently streaming on Netflix.
Jana Kramer has been an open book about her divorce from ex-husband Mike Caussin — but she wouldn’t have shared everything publicly without his approval.
“Even writing stuff about my ex in my book, it’s like, ‘Hey, I’m obviously writing stories, here are some of them. Would you like to see them?’” Kramer, 42, recalled on the Friday, March 13, episode of her “Whine Down” podcast.
Kramer said that she gave Caussin, 39, a heads-up about what she planned to include in her 2023 book, The Next Chapter: Making Peace with Hard Memories, Finding Hope All Around Me, and Clearing Space for Good Things to Come―Navigating Heartbreak and Loss with Wisdom.
Kramer explained, “I think it’s the respectful thing to do to reach out to people if you’re going to talk about them.”
The One Tree Hill alum joked that she told Caussin at the time that “because our book deal about trust went away,” she was instead going to write about her experience as a divorcee.
Jana Kramer made sure her ex-husband Mike Caussin read the special shout-out she gave him in her new book, The Next Chapter. “I know that you have not read the book, but there is one part I do want you to read,” Kramer, 39, told Caussin, 36, on the Monday, October 30, episode of her […]
The now-exes previously collaborated on The Good Fight: Wanting to Leave, Choosing to Stay, and the Powerful Practice for Loving Faithfully and were supposed to work together on a second project about trust when Kramer learned that Caussin allegedly cheated on her . (Caussin has not publicly spoke about the alleged infidelity, but Kramer wrote about it in her book). They split for good in spring 2021.
“I said, what I want you to know first and foremost is that this isn’t an ‘I hate Mike book.’ This is about my year post-divorce,” Kramer remembered on Friday’s podcast.
She told him, “There are things I didn’t speak about to protect you, mostly the kids. Because if there were certain things I put in there he would’ve fought [about it].”
Kramer told her listeners, “I felt like I was tasteful enough with the stories” and Caussin agreed.
Jana Kramer managed to save a few revelations for her second book, The Next Chapter. After initially releasing The Good Fight: Wanting to Leave, Choosing to Stay, and the Powerful Practice for Loving Faithfully with then-husband Mike Caussin, the spouses were given a book deal to write a second installment on trust in 2021. Two […]
“He goes, ‘I trust that you are saying what you’re saying about the stories and that you wouldn’t put in what I would hope you wouldn’t,’” she shared.
Kramer confessed that if the tables were turned, “I would’ve read every single page.”
When asked whether she would have “changed” any parts of the story if Caussin had objected, Kramer admitted that she would but only “pieces” of her book because it was her “truth.”
Kramer noted that when it comes to her split from Caussin, her book and what she discusses on her podcast only focuses on their past together, not what the retired NFL player is doing now.

“Whatever you do now, it’s not on me to talk about. I’m not that person,” Kramer said. “All I’ve ever talked about was past experiences when we were in a marriage.”
Kramer announced in April 2021 that she and Caussin were getting divorced after nearly six years of marriage.
“‘It’s time.’ As I try to make sense of a reality I never wanted to believe could be possible again, those words have now become a reality,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. ”I’ve fought y’all. I’ve loved hard. I’ve forgiven. I’ve put the work in. I’ve given everything I have, and now I have nothing else to give.”
Kramer and Caussin previously separated in 2016 after Us Weekly broke the news that he was unfaithful. Caussin later entered treatment for sex addiction and the pair renewed their vows in 2017.
Jana Kramer and Mike Caussin are proud to say they’ve found a way to be cordial exes after a public divorce. “You have to love your kids more than you hate your ex,” Kramer, 40, wrote via her Instagram Story on Monday, April 15, when asked how she remains close with her ex-husband. “And I […]
The exes, who share daughter Jolie, 10, and son Jace, 7, split for good in 2021 after he allegedly confessed to cheating on her again. (Kramer is now married to Allan Russell, with whom she shares son Roman, 2.)
Kramer has continued to speak about her highs and lows with Caussin as well as their coparenting dynamic on her podcast.
In her book, she claimed that amid their divorce proceedings, Caussin told her, “You know, I never really loved you.”
“He wanted to hurt me, and news flash, it did,” she wrote. “I had taken massive steps away from him and toward a new future in the last few weeks, but hearing those words confirmed the little voice in my head that had been telling me that everything he did and said in our marriage was because he didn’t love me.”
March has already been a great month for Prime Video subscribers, as a brand-new screen adaptation of a classic literary tale has taken the streamer by storm. Able to overcome competition from the likes of Fallout Season 2 and the return of Ben Watkins‘ Cross, Young Sherlock, based on the young adult thriller novel series Young Sherlock Holmes by Andrew Lane, immediately topped the Prime Video streaming charts in the U.S. Boasting the burgeoning acting talent of Hero Fiennes Tiffin and the directing prowess of veteran Guy Ritchie, Young Sherlock is a hit. But for those who have already finished with their binge of the series, what should you watch next? To help you decide, here’s a look at three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.

1
‘Scarpetta’ (2026)
Rotten Tomatoes: 71% | IMDb: 5.7/10
The hottest new arrival on Prime Video this week is the perfect place to begin this list of recommendations. Scarpetta, based on Patricia Cornwell’s book series of the same name, follows the brilliant titular forensic pathologist, portrayed by Nicole Kidman, as she travels to various locations solving improbable crimes and puzzling mysteries using her detailed skillset.
Praised for “captivating” performances in Aidan Kelley‘s review for Collider, Scarpetta‘s biggest highlight has to be its star-studded cast. Kidman alone is enough to lead a series, but throw in the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Cannavale, Ariana DeBose, and Simon Baker, and a recipe for a streaming hit is born. Already rivaling Young Sherlock for the Prime Video crown, join the rest of the world in binge-watching Scarpetta.
2
‘A Small Light’ (2023)
Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDb: 8.4/10
At a time when the world seems constantly frightening, this series is the perfect reminder that light pushes through even in the darkest times. A Small Light follows the life of Miep Gies (Bel Powley), a Dutch woman most famous for sheltering Anne Frank (Billie Boulet) during the Holocaust for more than two years.
To take such a powerful true story and turn it into eight phenomenal episodes is no easy task, but to do so with such delicate respect for the real people at its heart is even more remarkable. A Small Light is one of the best historical series of this decade and boasts a terrific selection of performances, led by Powley in a turn that earned her a Critics’ Choice Award nomination.
3
‘Clean Slate’ (2025)
Rotten Tomatoes: 87% | IMDb: 6.6/10
For something different this weekend, why not try a series that was cruelly cancelled way before its time? That series is Clean Slate, which follows Desiree Slate (Laverne Cox) as she returns to her hometown in Alabama to reunite with her estranged father, Harry (George Wallace). However, the last time Harry saw Desiree, she was living as a man.
As trans voices continue to be silenced, help this gem of a series let its voice be heard. There has been no official reason given for the show’s cancellation, and it doesn’t take a genius to see why a series like this could face the ax quicker than its contemporaries in a divisive political climate. A smart, funny sitcom with plenty of important stuff to say, don’t let Clean Slate pass you by.

This 27-Year-Old Brendan Fraser Fantasy Adventure Saga Is Storming Streaming Ahead of ‘The Mummy 4’
In just a few weeks, this Brendan Fraser-led action-adventure film will be returning to theaters for its 25th anniversary. But in the meantime, fans are revisiting this movie, especially after it was confirmed that he will be returning to the franchise, along with one of his most legendary co-stars. It seems fans are keen to see Fraser make another theatrical comeback, years after the movie’s debut.
Fraser began his acting career in 1990 and has since appeared in many projects, including Journey to the Center of the Earth, Rental Family, and a handful of DC projects, such as Titans and Doom Patrol. During his career resurgence in the 2020s, his performance in The Whale earned widespread recognition, including the Academy Award for “Best Actor” and nominations for “Best Actor in a Leading Role” at the BAFTAs and “Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama” at the Golden Globes. But before his career comeback, Fraser was already a recognized actor, and one of his projects is still a fan favorite to this day.
The Mummy and its sequel, The Mummy Returns, had a streaming comeback over the weekend, with The Mummy Returns placing at #2 on HBO Max’s Top Movies worldwide, between Jurassic World Rebirth and Alien, while The Mummy sat at #8, between Hulk and Locke. The Mummy franchise began in 1999 with a remake of the 1932 film of the same name, directed by Stephen Sommers. The trilogy stars Fraser as Rick O’Connell, an adventurer and treasure hunter, who must face a resurrected mummy determined to end the world. Both films found success after their theatrical releases, generating over $400 million each, and The Mummy received an Academy Award nomination for “Best Sound.” At the same time, the sequel earned four Saturn Award nominations, including “Best Fantasy Film.”

Is Brendan Fraser Returning To ‘The Mummy’ Franchise?
Ever since the release of the third installment of The Mummy franchise, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Universal Pictures attempted to create a cinematic universe called the “Dark Universe,” with The Mummy leading the charge, starring Tom Cruise, but it was poorly received by fans and critics alike, and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is set to enter theaters next month.
Recently, there was speculation that Fraser would return to The Mummy franchise, 17 years after the last film. And in 2025, those reports came true, as the actor will be reuniting with Rachel Weisz, who played the love interest, Evelyn Carnahan. According to the directors of The Mummy 4, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, they’ve reassured that Fraser and Weisz’s appearances aren’t “nostalgia bait” and that they want to be respectful of the previous films. However, it was reported that The Mummy 4 will not take into account the events of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. While plot details for this movie are still under wraps, it was reported that production prep is scheduled to start in May and shooting is expected to begin in August.
The Mummy is available to stream on Hulu in the U.S. Meanwhile, The Mummy 4 is scheduled to come out in 2028. Follow Collider for more updates.

The waving Pikachu is too cute.
With box-office ceilings having dropped in recent years, movies that would have been expected to gross $1 billion worldwide now tap out at around $800 million. The biggest impact of this recession was felt by films such as Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Jurassic World Rebirth, which fell short of their respective predecessors by around 20%. However, a couple of years ago, one sci-fi movie exceeded expectations and delivered the second-biggest worldwide haul of its franchise. The movie not only proved to be a major box office hit, but has also done very well on home video. This streak continued recently, when it debuted on HBO Max in several overseas markets and promptly claimed the streamer’s global viewership crown.
The movie featured a cast including a handful of future stars such as Isabela Merced, Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, and others. It also served as something of a comeback for its director, who was coming off a failed franchise reboot — The Girl in the Spider’s Web. The movie in question earned positive reviews and was praised for returning the franchise to its horror roots. The franchise was launched over four decades ago by Ridley Scott, who served as one of the producers on the new film. Scott has maintained control of the franchise’s creative direction, having previously worked for several years on a new installment with District 9 director Neill Blomkamp set to helm. However, that project fell apart, and Blomkamp didn’t have the warmest words for his experience.
Strap on Your Hockey Masks; It’s Friday the 13th — The Collider Movie Quiz!
Because today is Friday the 13th, let’s march our way through the iconic slasher franchise. Ch-ch-ch-ch. Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Here’s the Sci-Fi Hit That Saved a Franchise in 2024
The movie in question, of course, is Fede Álvarez‘s Alien: Romulus, which resurrected the long-running Alien franchise after Scott’s Alien: Covenant underperformed in 2017. Romulus grossed $350 million at the worldwide box office in 2024, and was followed by Noah Hawley‘s acclaimed Hulu series Alien: Earth in 2025. A sequel to Romulus is in the works, although Álvarez has said that he will not return. Romulus earned mostly positive reviews and is now sitting at a “Certified Fresh” 80% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The website’s consensus reads, “Honoring its nightmarish predecessors while chestbursting at the seams with new frights of its own, Romulus injects some fresh acid blood into one of cinema’s great horror franchises.” Romulus made it to the number one spot on HBO Max before dropping down to a still respectable number five on the global HBO Max charts.

Sometimes the drama doesn’t stay on TV—it hits close to home. Reality star Jenelle Evans is facing a frightening situation off-screen as her 16-year-old son, Jace, has been placed in a mental health facility. The placement follows a serious incident involving his grandmother, Barbara Evans. Jenelle and her mother became household names after appearing on hit shows like ‘16 and Pregnant’ and ‘Teen Mom 2,’ where grandma often stepped in—even when unwanted—to care for Jace.

What Happened Between Jace And His Grandmother?
According to reports, the incident occurred on February 22 at Barbara Evans’ home in North Carolina. Authorities responded to what they described as a “troubled teen disturbance” after Barbara reportedly called 911. Sources tell TMZ that Jace allegedly pulled a gun on his grandmother, put it to his own head, and threatened both Barbara and himself. There were also concerns about possible substance use in the lead-up to the incident, with claims that Jace had been drinking and using drugs.
For context, Jace has been in his grandmother’s care since birth, when she took custody of him. Custody was returned to Janelle 13 years later, in 2023, per PEOPLE. It’s unclear why he remained with Barbara Evans after the legal change.
How Jenelle Is Handling The Situation
A spokesperson for Jenelle told Entertainment Weekly that the reality star is “still trying to find him the best [facility] to meet his needs.” Jenelle currently lives in Las Vegas and is a full-time mom to her other children: 11-year-old Kaiser with ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffith, and 9-year-old Ensley with ex-husband David Eason. Jace, her oldest, was conceived with her high school boyfriend Andrew Lewis.
Jace’s Next Steps Revealed
Jace is now receiving professional care at a mental health facility, though it’s unclear how long he will remain in treatment. Those close to the family say the focus is on his health and stability rather than public commentary. Furthermore, law enforcement confirmed the response to Barbara’s 911 call, but details remain limited. Both Jenelle and Barbara have not publicly commented on the situation beyond statements through representatives.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Maya Hawke is in the honeymoon phase of her relationship with husband Christian Lee Hutson one month after they tied the knot.
Hawke, 27, called married life “absolutely fantastic” while attending the world premiere of her new movie Wishful Thinking on Thursday, March 12.
“I’m a very, very lucky person who’s very happy right now,” Hawke told People at the SXSW Conference & Festivals in Austin, Texas. “And yeah, [I] couldn’t be more grateful.”
The Stranger Things alum couldn’t stop gushing about her romance with Hutson, 35, at the event.
Stranger Things star Maya Hawke is married after saying “I do” to Christian Lee Hutson on Valentine’s Day. Hawke, 27, and Hutson, 35, exchanged vows on Saturday, February 14, in New York City, according to photos obtained by People. The bride looked elegant in a white ballgown with a matching cropped jacket, while Hutson sported […]
“I feel so lucky to have found my best friend and to have someone I can tell anything to,” Hawke told Page Six on Thursday of her spouse, who is a singer-songwriter. “It makes something like getting married feel like, ‘Oh, of course,’ you know, not like, ‘What?’ And I’m very, very, very lucky, so I’m really happy.”
She added that she’s “ecstatically happy” following her wedding. “I mean … love is the best,” Hawke revealed.
Hawke and Hutson surprised fans by exchanging vows on Valentine’s Day, February 14, in New York City.
Uma Thurman and Maya Hawke looked refined and aligned at the Room to Grow 25th anniversary gala in New York City. The mother-daughter duo graced the Wednesday, October 25, blue carpet in coordinated all-black ensembles. Thurman, 53, opted for a timeless black dress that featured a subtle but sexy thigh-high slit. She teamed the garment […]
According to photos from the nuptials obtained by multiple outlets, Hawke wore an elegant white ballgown with a matching cropped jacket. Hutson wore a classic black tuxedo to say, “I do.”
The bride’s famous parents, exes Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, were on hand to celebrate their special day. (Thurman, 55, welcomed Maya with Ethan, 55, in July 1998. The exes, who split in 2005, also share son Levon, 24. Ethan is also father to daughters Clementine, 17, and India, 14, whom he shares with wife Ryan Shawhughes Hawke.)
Maya’s Stranger Things costars were also represented on the guest list, with Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer and Joe Keery all showing up to toast the happy couple.

Maya and Hutson’s wedding day was unexpected as the pair never publicly announced their engagement.
The newlyweds dated for roughly three years before they walked down the aisle. They were first romantically linked in 2023.
Maya opened up about finding love with Hutson in 2024 during an appearance on The Zach Sang Show.
Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo and the rest of the Stranger Things cast have evolved tremendously since the show began in 2016. The once relatively unknown actors burst into the Hollywood industry full speed ahead after the drama’s massive success. “I don’t think Netflix thought it was going to be as huge as it became, […]
“I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. It’s the best,” she gushed. “They know you, and as a human being who has dated other people. They really know you as a person who has feelings … not just a piece of paper for them to project their image of [the] perfect girlfriend onto. It’s the best to feel seen in that way.”
That same year, Hutson peeled back the curtain on his and Maya’s working relationship after recording several songs together.
“I just have so much fun writing with her, similar to Phoebe [Bridgers],” Hutson told Extra in November 2024. “I think she really understands how my brain works and is very good at helping flesh out the little world. It’s fun to be bouncing these characters around with her, and it’s just unbelievable.”
Netflix has yet to confirm the return of Selling Sunset for season 10, but the cast has already hinted who will — and won’t — return.
Season 9, which premiered in October 2025, left the future of the show unclear, with many of the central friendships fractured. Emma Hernan was no longer close to Chrishell Stause — or Chelsea Lazkani — due to her relationship with then-boyfriend Blake Davis.
Chrishell, meanwhile, was only on good terms with Chelsea, who was also keeping her distance from the rest of the cast. Chelsea was specifically at odds with Mary Bonnet and Bre Tiesi after individual feuds addressed on screen.
The cast member with the most drama became Nicole Young after Jason and Brett Oppenheim fired her following a controversial group dinner. Most of the show’s stars refused to film with Nicole, which led to further complications.
Netflix Selling Sunset getting renewed for season 9 feels inevitable, but will the whole group be back? The reality series, which debuted in 2019, became an overnight success for Netflix as viewers were introduced to employees at high-end Los Angeles real estate brokerage the Oppenheim Group. Selling Sunset always has fans talking — whether it […]
By the time the group sat down for the reunion, the division was worse than ever. Several cast members later teased that they were unsure about coming back for more episodes while former stars like Christine Quinn hinted at a possible return.
Scroll down to see which stars are — and are not — planning to return for a season 10:
Jason Oppenheim
It wouldn’t be Selling Sunset without the brothers who put the Oppenheim in the Oppenheim Group, so Jason Oppenheim is expected to be back.
Brett Oppenheim
The same goes for Brett Oppenheim, since Jason needs someone to argue with about the hedge in front of their office.
Christine Quinn
Christine Quinn exited Selling Sunset after season 5, which aired in 2022. Christine teased the possibility of her return to the reality show in February 2026. Us exclusively revealed in March 2026, “Christine is coming back” for season 10 after nearly four years off the show.
An insider told Us at the time that filming was already “supposed to start” but it had been “delayed because they are waiting for [Christine] to finish negotiations.”
Mary Bonnet
“Absolutely [I will come back]. I think so,” Mary Bonnet said during a red carpet interview at the 2025 National Television Awards. “As long as everyone’s on the same page on the direction that we want the show to go in. I’ll always be back.”
Chrishell Stause
When asked about returning for another season of the hit reality series, Chrishell Stause appeared to hint she was weighing her options.
“The reunion was so brutal. In that moment, I realized I will be done here going forward. I wish everyone the best, but this isn’t the place for me. It felt a little bit like a dog pile,” she told Variety in October 2025. “I don’t know when they will start filming. I hope they never tell me.”
She confirmed her exit one month later. “I’ve gotten to a place where I don’t need the show financially. I’m lucky to have other forms of employment, because it’s no longer good for my mental health,” she told Bustle.
Us confirmed in March 2026 that Chrishell is “not coming back” after previously talking about her need to take a step back.

“If I was to ever go back, it would be with Selling Sunset [and not Selling the OC] — just because that was my group,” Heather Rae El Moussa told Us in July 2025 before her season 9 cameo. “We were all an office and friends before Selling Sunset was even a show.”
She continued: “I have a rapport with them, I have loyalty with them and I have a lot of history with them. So if I want to go back, it would be Selling Sunset and not Selling the OC.”
Us exclusively confirmed in March 2026 that Heather is returning for season 10 of the Netflix series after leaving during season 7 in 2023.
Amanza Smith
Despite shifting back to interior design instead of selling real estate, Amanza Smith will likely return in season 10.
Emma Hernan
During an exclusive interview with Us in November 2025, Emma Hernan remained unsure about her future with the show.
“It’s one of those things where we’ll see when the call comes. But I’m really happy with my life right now, and it’s been really peaceful. It was just such a refreshing feeling to be done with the reunion, because that was so emotionally draining,” she explained. “I’ve been just really enjoying my time on the East Coast. A lot of time with my family, a lot of time with Blake, and I can’t picture at this moment filming again. I’m really happy with where things are at, and we’ll see what happens.”
Emma hinted at a possible departure on the “Untraditionally Lala” podcast, saying, “I was basically done [after] season 8 and I came back to tell my side of the story. I mean, I’m kind of … I’m tapped [out].”
Emma said she didn’t want to make an official statement. “I’ll never say never. I don’t like when people say they’re not going to join the show and then they do. I’ve heard that so many times where people are like, ‘I’m never coming back.’ And they’re back every season,” she added. “A lot of people have done and said that — I’m not naming names.”
She continued: “I’ve actually never said it but I’m at a point where I’m really happy with my life. I love my family. I’ve been trying to spend more time with them. I enjoy being home with the family and I’ve been on the East Coast a lot this year, which has been really nice for me.”
Chelsea Lazkani
While attending the 2025 National Television Awards, Chelsea Lazkani said she was “undecided” about coming back for more seasons. Us exclusively confirmed in March 2026 that, like Chrishell Stause and Nicole Young, Chelsea is not coming back for another season.
Nicole Young
Season 9 showed Nicole Young getting fired from the Oppenheim Group, which she later claimed was just for show.
“I still work at the Oppenheim Group. Getting ‘fired’ was just a dramatic story line,” she wrote via Instagram in October 2025. “I wasn’t privy to [it] until I saw the episode where the cast was told I was let go.”
Nicole then hinted she could return in season 10, telling Netflix’s Tudum, “My new priority will be Nashville, but it definitely won’t be goodbye to L.A. real estate.”
A source exclusively told Us in March 2026 that Nicole would not be returning to the reality show for the new season.
Bre Tiesi
Bre Tiesi will likely return in season 10 but hasn’t confirmed or denied anything yet.
Alanna Gold
After joining the show one season prior, Alanna Gold was largely missing from most scenes in season 9. It remains unclear whether she will come back for more episodes.
Sandra Vergara
Sofía Vergara‘s sister Sandra Vergara hinted to Us that she wanted a chance to share more of her side of the story after joining season 9 later on.
“I came in midseason. So, I just wish I was introduced before,” she told Us in October 2025. “I don’t come from that world and I am a big personality, but these people had a lot of history with one another. You have to navigate [a lot]. At first, I didn’t want to watch the show because I wanted to make my own impressions. But then I’m like, ‘F*** it. I’m going to watch the show.’”
She continued: “I watched it and I understand why certain people have anger toward certain people. To me, it’s all very unnecessary. It is little things, and how is that a reason for an ongoing feud? Don’t make a thing more than what it actually is.”
