When Vince Gilligan created the iconic Breaking Bad, he could’ve never picked up a pen (or opened his laptop) again, and his legacy as one of the best would’ve remained. A 16-Primetime Emmy-winning series among countless other accolades, Breaking Bad was so popular, influential, and impressive that it changed television forever, as it became the blueprint for prestige success for streaming and helped define the “Golden Age” of TV.

Almost two decades later, Gilligan continues not to sit still, releasing arguably one of the best shows of this decade as his legacy somehow grows beyond the world of Walter White. The show in question is Pluribus, yet another sci-fi success for Apple TV, that reunited Gilligan with Better Call Saul star Rhea Seehorn. The series is set in a world where humanity has been overtaken by a virus that evolves each person into part of a peaceful hivemind. However, Seehorn’s Carol Sturka is one of just 13 people not to be affected by the so-called “Joining,” with her misery the only thing ready to save humanity from its sickening happiness.

A stunning success for Apple TV, its premiere episode was watched for an impressive 6.4 million hours in just seven days, with the series quickly becoming the most-watched on the streamer worldwide, and eventually breaking the record for Apple TV’s most-watched series of all time. It has now been almost four months since the show’s jaw-dropping finale on December 24, 2025, and it has yet to lose its impact on the streaming charts. At the time of writing, Pluribus is once again one of the ten most-streamed shows on Apple TV in the U.S., on all Amazon channels.

When Will ‘Pluribus’ Return?

With a show this detailed, it’s understandable that time needs to be taken before it can return. However, there has been a trend in recent years for popular shows to take three or more years to return, a situation that Pluribus lovers will be desperate to avoid. In a recent interview, Karolina Wydra, who portrays Zosia in the series, gave our closest hint at when the show could return thus far, saying that she expects production on Season 2 to begin “sometime in the fall.” With that in mind, a late-2027 premiere might be likely for Season 2.

Pluribus is streaming now on Apple TV. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

Victoria Beckham has been in one of the most high-profile marriages in the world through her marital union with husband David Beckham. As a result of being under a constant microscope, she’s learned how to ignore the negativity.

In an interview to accompany her inclusion on the “TIME 100 Most Influential People” list, Beckham shared how she responds to her marriage being criticized.

In the TIME interview, the pop star-turned-fashion designer gave insight into how she navigates being a source of constant chatter about her marriage.

“This has been happening since I was 20, so it’s been going on a long time,” Victoria told the outlet. “I have an incredible husband who supports me enormously.”

“We’re always there for each other,” she continued. “And I learned a long time ago to really not listen to the noise. Someone’s always going to have something to say. I focus and I just don’t pay attention to it.” 

Beckham also credited the recent documentaries that she and husband David had on Netflix for allowing her to tame her natural need to be in control.

“I always say that I went into the process a control freak and came out a reformed control freak, because I didn’t have that much control,” she revealed. “I learned so much from the process of the documentary. It was like a year’s intense therapy.”

The Spice Girls Member Recently Shared How She And David Tackle Tough Times

While appearing on “Today with Jenna & Sheinelle” on April 21, Victoria opened up about her family dynamic with husband David and their four children: Brookyln, Cruz, Romeo, and Harper.

When asked how she is navigating a “challenging year,” pointing to the highly public fallout between oldest child Brooklyn and his parents, Victoria explained that her children always take precedence.

“We always put our children first,” she said. “We love our children so much and have always really focused on protecting our children, but we laugh a lot. David Beckham is really, super funny.”

Victoria Beckham Also Explained The Couple’s Deep Bond After Over 25 Years Of Marriage

The couple, who have been married for 27 years, have captivated fans since they began dating at the height of her Spice Girls fame.

“You know, myself and David, we’re so close and we have incredible people around us,” Victoria said on the show. “We’re close to my parents and David’s parents. We support each other through everything that we do.” 

“We’ve grown together. And that’s where I feel so blessed. We really have grown together,” she added. “We support each other. We’ve both got big dreams. We’re both very, very ambitious and we support each other. I want him to be the best version of himself and that’s what he wants for me.”

David Beckham Heaped Praise On His Wife For Her Birthday

On Instagram, the soccer legend posted a collection of sentimental photos of himself and his wife, along with a heartfelt message for her 52nd birthday on April 17.

“Happy Birthday to the one & only Posh Spice,” David’s caption began. “We love you so much, and we will make sure you have the most special day because as the best Wife, Mum, friend & of course, gym partner, you deserve to. Happy Birthday, We Love You.”

Victoria, clearly touched by the gesture, responded to the post in the comments, writing, “I love you so much.”

He wasn’t done, as David also took to his Instagram Stories to share another birthday message for his long-time wife.

“To my working-class wife, happy birthday. We love you. Be honest,” which is a humorous nod to their viral interaction in David’s Netflix documentary, where they discussed Victoria’s wealthy family background.

The Mother Of Four Finally Broke Her Silence On Family Rift With Son Brooklyn

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal on April 16, Victoria addressed the deep family rift but stopped short of mentioning Brooklyn by name.

“All we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it,” she stated. 

Brooklyn initially took his feud with his family public due to long-simmering issues involving his wife and her relationship with his parents.

Season 2 of Happy’s Place came to an end — but did Reba McEntire and Rex Linn‘s characters get back together?

During the Friday, April 24, episode of the hit NBC sitcom, Emmett (Linn) ended his relationship with girlfriend Monica (Cheri Oteri). He told Bobbie (McEntire), who wanted to share with Emmett that she was ready for them to date again. But before Bobbie could explain herself, Emmett made it clear he was done with dating — for now.

Bobbie chose to respect Emmett’s wishes and they ended the season single. The twist might come as a surprise to fans who tuned into season 2 expecting to see Emmett and Bobbie as a couple.

However, when season 2 premiered in 2025, Emmett revealed to Steve (Pablo Castelblanco) that he didn’t tell Bobbie he’d known about her secret sister, Isabella (Belissa Escobedo), for years.

Fan-favorite TV couples like 9-1-1’s Buck and Eddie, The Bear’s Sydney and Carmy and Tracker’s Colter and Reenie — or Billie — deserve to finally get together on screen in 2026. Based on Jeffery Deaver‘s novel The Never Game, Tracker has viewers tuning in each week to see their favorite fictional survivalist — a.k.a Colter […]

“It’s a big twist, for sure. Everyone knows what’s coming and that’s so thrilling and stressful for the audience,” Escobedo, 28, teased exclusively to Us Weekly about Bobbie finding out about Emmett’s secret. “That anticipation, because we know that when this secret drops, it’s going to drop hard.”

McEntire, 71, noted that there were “consequences” that needed to be addressed.

“It’s a very important time for something big to happen — something unexpected,” she added about Bobbie and Emmett’s romance. “You kind of give the audience what they want.”

While reflecting on the milestone moment, Escobedo broke down why now was the right time to explore the romance, adding, “Isabella coming into Bobbie’s life opened her up a bit. It brought out a more vulnerable side because she was forced to be vulnerable. Isabella pushed her to it. There’s a softer side that comes desiring some romance and some comfort.”

Linn, 69, also weighed in on the timing of the two major story lines.

Executive producer Kevin Abbott previously told Us about the show’s plan for the central fictional relationship.

“She’s with Rex now and we thought, ‘If it’s ever going to work, this is going to work.’ For me it works. They are just wonderful together,” Abbott shared in March 2025. “So I’m interested in following that track and seeing how it goes. That was the plan even before we cast Rex — believe it or not. Because we did cast him and that was always intended as a possible love interest because I’ve got some of those stories I want to tell. I wasn’t able to tell them in the old Reba sitcom.”

Happy’s Place is streaming on Peacock.

Donnie Wahlberg got honest about how expensive it was to make Blue Bloods — and why it led to the cast taking a pay cut before the show’s cancellation.

“With Blue Bloods, they came to us before the final year and said, ‘You need to take a 25 percent pay cut or we’re going off the air.’ And some people were like, ‘Nope.’ Other people were like, ‘OK,’” Wahlberg, 56, shared in the Tuesday, April 21, episode of “The George Janko Show” podcast.

The actor, who played Danny Reagan on the show, tried to negotiate. “I was like, ‘Why not just say [a] 15 [percent pay cut] in exchange for four more seasons?’” he recalled. “Because they were like, ‘This is the last year, so 25 percent pay cut.’ I just was like, ‘Let’s keep it going. I’d rather have 75 percent of something than zero percent of zero.’”

Blue Bloods ultimately came to an end after 14 seasons on CBS.

“I naively thought if we take the pay cut — and this is where other people were right — that we could have kept going. But the show has gotten so expensive and the industry has changed,” Wahlberg explained. “They used to make 10 to 20 TV pilots on one network. … There’s no pilot season anymore. It’s all changed.”

The hit series found a strong fanbase when it premiered on CBS in 2010. After a 14-season run, viewers were not ready to say goodbye to New York Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) and his children: Danny (Wahlberg), Erin (Bridget Moynahan) and Jamie (Will Estes).

CBS, however, had different plans when speculation grew that Blue Bloods could end despite the cast and producers agreeing to take a 25 percent pay cut. After Blue Bloods’ series finale in December 2024, Wahlberg scored a spinoff with CBS’ Boston Blue.

“I can assure every viewer out there that nobody was more disappointed than me. Nobody cried more than me. Nobody’s heart was broken more than mine,” Wahlberg exclusively told Us Weekly in February. “I fought tooth and nail to save Blue Bloods. I did everything I could.”

Wahlberg recalled having to mourn the end of Blue Bloods before making the transition.

“I had to go through the process of saying goodbye to our crew and the cast and reconciling the fact that [Blue Bloods] could now be in my rearview mirror,” he continued. “I had to let go of Danny Reagan and Blue Bloods. So when this came along, I had to reevaluate. It wasn’t just a snap decision.”

He concluded: “It became an easier decision as I got to work on the pilot script with the Brandons [creators Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier]. I found ways to make it authentic to Danny, make it plausible that he would go to Boston, and find ways to really make Danny a fish out of water.”

Boston Blue airs on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

Calling Black people chimps, n-words and justifying slavery on camera has left one Houston Police Department officer jobless! The agency shared on Friday (April 24) that it fired Ashley Gonzalez following her racist remarks. Gonzalez had initially filmed and posted her rant on Instagram’s ‘Close Friends,’ but it went viral after someone apparently leaked it. She has yet to address the public about her offensive comments.

Houston Officer Fired Over Viral Racist Rant (UPDATE)

HPD announced the update regarding Officer Ashley Gonzalez on its social platforms, including X. They named her and shunned her actions, revealing she was fired following an internal investigation.

“The Houston Police Department (HPD) has terminated the employment of Ashley Gonzalez. As of today, she is no longer an employee of the department. HPD holds every officer to the highest standards of integrity and conduct, and will not waver in upholding these expectations.”

Additionally, HPD’s statement clarified that Ashley had been relieved of her duties earlier this week after the agency first learned about the viral video. Houston Public Media reported on Wednesday that Gonzalez was relieved with pay. HPD today confirmed a speedy investigation took place as required by state civil laws. Police Chief Noe Diaz Jr. strongly condemned Ashley Gonzalez’s actions.

“The behavior exhibited by Ashley Gonzalez was abhorrent, disgusting, and entirely unacceptable,” the chief said. “It is deeply disturbing and has no place in law enforcement or in our community.”

Ashley had reportedly been with the Houston Police Department since January 2024, assigned to the South Gessner Patrol Division.

Mayor Speaks Out After Ashley Gonzalez Is Fired

Earlier this week, several relevant organizations, from the Houston Police Officers’ Union to the local NAACP, had slammed Ashley Gonzalez’s racist rant. On Friday, Mayor John Whitmire reacted to the update in the Gonzalez investigation, per ABC13.

“The comments in the video recorded by former Houston Police Officer Ashley Gonzalez are outrageous and reprehensible. I was shocked and deeply disappointed to hear a Houston police officer use such foul and offensive language. Her actions do not reflect the values of our city or the Houston Police Department, nor the standards we expect from those sworn to serve and protect our community. Let me be clear: this behavior is unacceptable. I applaud HPD Chief Diaz for suspending Gonzalez when the department became aware of the video and firing her as soon as the state civil service process allowed. Let this incident serve as a warning to all City of Houston employees. There is zero tolerance for racism in my administration, and if you see it, report it immediately. I ask all Houstonians to rededicate ourselves to human rights and respect for others,” Mayor Whitmire said.

Social Media Reacts To HPD’s Swift Response To Racist Incident

The HPD update was viewed over 1.8 million times on X within a four-hour window. It also collected more than 8,500 likes and generated 400-plus comments. While some people seemed satisfied with the outcome, others questioned why HPD continued to pay her after relieving her from her duties earlier this week. Also, some X users are demanding HPD reopen cases involving Black people that Ashley was a part of. Houston PD has not said whether their investigation called for that step.

Meanwhile, others are hoping Ashley Gonzalez won’t be allowed to hold another position in law enforcement following her firing. Some also predicted what Ashley’s next steps will be.

Good. Now reopen all the cases she was apart of that lead to convictions. If we gone do it, let’s do it right.

everyone acting like this is a win is ignoring the fact that she’ll probably just be hired by a different county next month. the system is designed to let them keep their badges even after a termination like this

— Rose 🫶 (@heyitsrosexx) April 24, 2026

Go ahead and review her arrests too. Thanks.

Now investigate her arrests too. She was way too racist and probably wrongfully arrested a lot of people. Also make sure she can’t be hired in law enforcement anywhere ever!

— Hell1s (@Hell1s) April 24, 2026

Good. So, she leaves Houston PD and is hired by the next city/county? Or is hired as a resource officer at a local high school? We all know her being fired doesn’t mean she won’t be seen in a PO uniform again.

Yall love to recycle the bad apples into different departments…

Ok. What are the next steps? Her behavior was not only “exhibited” in those videos, but a reflection of her morality, beliefs, practices, and interpersonal interactions.

Alan Cumming is opening up about his years-long friendship with Lisa Kudrow.

Cumming, 61, gushed about Kudrow, 62, while speaking to Us Weekly exclusively at the Time100 Gala on Thursday, April 23. The Traitors host shared his reaction to Kudrow’s tribute in Time’s list of the 100 Most Influential People of 2026.

“I didn’t know it was going to be her. … They don’t tell you. And so it was just such a lovely surprise,” he told Us. “And you know, everything that she said about me, I completely feel about her.”

In her tribute, Kudrow wrote that Cumming is “just as spectacular in person as he is on your television screen.”

“I mean, are you kidding? He steps into the room, and you just can’t help but think, ‘Yes. Glorious,’” the Friends alum continued. “Everything about him is thrilling. And yet, there’s something about him that makes you feel like you can take a deep, calming breath whenever he’s near. He’s so fully himself — so free, so authentic — that simply being around him feels like a celebration. It’s really no wonder everyone is so drawn to him.”

Kudrow added that watching Cumming host The Traitors is “so much fun, not only because he always looks fantastic, but because he plays such a great villain.”

“The Alan I know off-screen is sweet, bubbly, and friendly,” she concluded. “He chooses joy, he chooses glee, and he sees the wonderful in everything. He’s a phenomenal person and also, luckily for us, a brilliant performer. Alan can do anything and everything, and that’s really all there is to it.”
