Two years after the latest film entry in one of the greatest robotic sci-fi franchises hit theaters, confirmation has emerged that the franchise is set to return to theaters soon. When it comes to robotic sci-fi franchises, the likes of Star Wars, The Terminator, and Transformers are among the genre’s biggest names. However, the franchise currently making headlines is the latter, whose most recent installment, Transformers One, was released in September 2024 to positive reviews from critics, though it underperformed at the box office.

As one of the most popular franchises of all time, Transformers is produced by American toy company Hasbro and Japanese toy company Takara Tomy, with ownership currently shared between the two companies. Since the 1980s, the franchise has expanded across multiple film installments, one of which is set to return to theaters this fall. Titled The Transformers: The Movie, it was the franchise’s first feature film and was released in 1986 to generally negative reviews and a disappointing box-office performance. To make matters worse, the film upset audiences by killing off the Autobots’ leader, Optimus Prime, sparking backlash and even leading to a letter-writing campaign.

Now reports confirm that Hasbro and specialty distributor Fathom Entertainment have teamed up to theatrically re-release The Transformers: The Movie, which has since developed a cult following. The screening is timed to its 40th anniversary. Beginning September 17, 2026, the sci-fi classic will roll out in theaters across the U.S. through September 21. It will be presented in 4K while select international markets are expected to launch day-and-date with the U.S.

Did the Transformers Franchise Have a Strong First Film Entry?

As the first film entry in the Transformers franchise, The Transformers: The Movie delivers the familiar conflict between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. At the same time, it aimed for something far more ambitious and unexpected by taking bold creative risks, including killing off several well-known characters — most notably one of the franchise’s most beloved heroes, Optimus Prime. This year, Hasbro embraced the film’s infamous reputation and the nostalgia surrounding it by launching an Apology Tour packed with exclusive merchandise and new toy lines, seemingly in an effort to make amends with longtime fans.

Featured in the stellar voice cast of The Transformers: The Movie are franchise veterans Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and Frank Welker as Megatron, alongside Orson Welles as Unicron, Judd Nelson as Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron, Eric Idle as Wreck-Gar, and Robert Stack as Ultra Magnus.

The first Transformers film re-releases in theaters this September.

Will Trent received backlash after killing off several pivotal characters — and now Scott Foley is speaking out.

“What a wonderful gift to receive after a wonderful experience on #willtrent,” Foley wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of his name in the show’s title card. “Thanks to the cast and crew, the writers and creators who made the experience so special.”

He added: “This will surely make my wife and daughter say ‘Awww’ each time they pass by and really, that’s enough for me.”

Foley’s post comes after the May 5 season finale of the hit ABC series showed Angie (Erika Christensen) finally giving birth but her happiness was short-lived because her husband, Seth (Foley), died after collapsing in the hospital.

It is never easy to unexpectedly say goodbye to your favorite characters — and 2026 has featured an influx of shocking departures on our TV screens from Grey’s Anatomy to Virgin River. Virgin River fans were surprised when showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed multiple characters were written off the show after season 7. Marco Grazzini addressed […]

“It’s just Game of Thrones out here,” Iantha Richardson, who plays Faith, joked during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly. “I have no clue if death is imminent on this show [but] I hope not.”

Richardson, 35, recalled the reasoning she heard about Seth’s death, adding, “It sets up a beautiful emotional arc for people in the coming season of what’s to come. So there’s a lot to look forward to.”

Despite the potential onscreen growth, Richardson acknowledged how “hard” it is to see cast members leave the show.

“Losing people like that definitely keeps you on your toes. Nobody expected to lose one person — let alone two — in very different genres of what the show has. But to lose two in a matter of three weeks is just gut wrenching over and over again,” she noted. “What is expected is a lot of emotional roller-coasters. I don’t know if it’s death necessarily but I hope not. I do know that there is a lot of emotional recoil that will come in the season to come.”

Based on a book by Karin Slaughter, Will Trent follows a special agent at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation who was abandoned at birth and grew up in Atlanta’s overwhelmed foster care system. Will (Ramon Rodríguez) now relies on his unique perspective while pursuing justice, resulting in the highest clearance rate in the GBI.

In addition to Rodríguez, the show stars Richardson, Christensen, Jake McLaughlin, Sonja Sohn and Kevin Daniels. Season 4 threw viewers for a loop when Sohn’s character, Amanda, was killed off after being on the show since the beginning.

“I am never too comfortable in any space because you really just never know. But I don’t think [a possible death for Faith] is at the forefront of my mind,” Richardson told Us about her personal reaction to multiple cast exits within a matter of weeks. “I don’t think that would happen. But who knows. If it’s meant for the greater good of Will Trent then I’m sure there will be a great reason behind it and it’ll all happen in the best way. But I hope not.”

Will Trent has been renewed for season 3 and is currently streaming on Hulu.

Welcome to Plathville’s Lydia Plath and Zac Wyse were vocal about saving their first kiss for their wedding day — so how long did they wait to have sex?

During the Tuesday, May 19, episode of the TLC series, Lydia, 22, met up with her friend and bridesmaid Mariah to talk about how married life was going with Zac, 24, after tying the knot in February 2025.

“[It’s] been really great. Enjoying marriage, discovering marriage,” Lydia said.

Welcome to Plathville‘s Lydia Plath and husband Zac Wyse are hinting that their sex life is “naughty” after saving their first kiss for their wedding. “Is the honeymoon phase over yet?” a producer asks the newlyweds, who break out into an awkward laugh, in Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek at the season 8 premiere airing […]

She then detailed how her and Zac’s first night together after kissing at the altar.

“Zac had told me leading up to the wedding, he was like, ‘You know, when it comes to sex, when it comes to intimacy, like, I want you to let me know when you’re ready,’” Lydia recalled.

The reality star remembered her now-husband saying, “‘If you want to wait a week, you know, [and] enjoy a week of kissing and making out and warming up to each other before we do anything else [we can].’ He’s like, ‘I’m here to serve you.’”

Lydia noted that Zac “really created a safe place” for her in the bedroom before confirming they had sex shortly after becoming husband and wife.

“No, we didn’t wait a week so much,” she told her friend, making a cheeky face and letting out a laugh.

Lydia explained, “I don’t want to disclose what our wedding night looked like, but it was so beautiful. It’s just so perfect and so God-centered and so just honoring.”

The TLC personality was also honest about what it was like being naked in front of somebody else after growing up in such a conservative household.

“I wouldn’t even change it in front of my sister’s till I was like 17,” Lydia confessed to Mariah. “That was honestly something that surprised both of us, just how comfortable we were with each other from day one.”

Lydia — who received backlash from her family over how quickly she married Zac — told the cameras that she’s happy with the couple’s sex life thus far. (Ahead of their special day, Lydia’s eldest brother Ethan Plath questioned Zac’s sexuality after learning they hadn’t kissed. Ethan, 28, and the rest of the family eventually apologized for being so critical.)

“There’s definitely a side of me that no one has ever seen or I never imagined was there. But, it’s for Zac only and it’s awesome,” Lydia teased before biting a banana on camera. The action, which appeared somewhat sexual, caused the crew to laugh, but Lydia insisted it wasn’t on “purpose.”

Thank You!

Lydia, who moved to Colorado from Florida with Zac earlier this month, proceeded to give fans a little glimpse at the couple’s newlywed phase.

“There’s just such a beauty in sex and intimacy with your spouse. That’s like it just breeds so much deeper connection [of] joy, love,” Lydia shared. “It’s literally life giving, like, literally, but it also is life giving as a couple. Like it, it does bring life into the world, but it also brings life into your marriage.”

Now, Akbar V is back at it again and claiming a few titles. At the same time, she’s throwing shade while the internet guesses who she’s targeting.

She wrote, “I’m the princess of Rap……and Queen Of Atlanta.” She later added, “Lyrically who can f*** with me … I’m really Ms. Pen Griffey.” Following the post, the rapper also teased a few freestyles. In one clip, she sampled T.I.’s ‘Rubber Band Man’ with the caption, “How it feel to be a n***a six pick.”

Akbar V later shared another freestyle with the caption, “This the time i get my lick back cause i been owing yall b****** like Tasha K.”

The rapper dropped several bars about industry relationships and drama. In one verse, she raps, “B*** ask am i the drama no bye Felicia your the friday.” In another verse, Akbar says, “they been bouncing this b*** like a ball, but it didn’t count for sh** when it got passed to Klay.” She also added, “Show us you really big mama if you can make leave his wife today show us you can post a pic with him like im out eating lunch with my hubby today.”

These lyrics had folks wondering if she was taking shots at Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, and other female rappers.

Furthermore, she later took to X to share a photo of GloRilla’s sister, Victoria Woods, also known as B-Rilla. In the caption, Akbar wrote:

“B***s will sell they soul for 2500 and a fake Cuban chain / if i send you a pic of a low cut lil titty stud just know you ain’t use to things … ran 2 Atlanta freestyle link in my bio click it.”

Social Media Reacts 

Social media users gathered across platforms as they reacted to Akbar V’s tweets. Some tried figuring out who she could be rapping about. Others debated who deserves the “Princess of Rap” and “Queen of Atlanta” titles. Some argued that regardless of how you may feel about Akbar V, her talent and bars cannot be denied.

While Instagram user @she2real4fake1s wrote  “Ng| she is talented, however, her antics, husband/ baby daddy drama and the way she carries herself on social media are what’s keeping people from taking her serious.”

The dark comedy is a tough genre to pull off for several reasons. Some projects go too hard with the comedy, forgetting the key word that precedes it. Others are so dark that you do a double-take when you remember that you’re supposed to be laughing, too. Apple TV’s unpredictable new series, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, created by David J. Rosen, despite being billed as a dark comedy, feels more akin to a mystery thriller with some comedic bits peppered in, unquestionably thrusting you into a web of lies in need of untangling above anything else. It’s thanks to Tatiana Maslany‘s charming tour-de-force performance — which turns overused tropes on their head — that Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed becomes a solid, addictive addition to the streamer, with each episode asking: Can anyone be trusted?

What Is ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’ About?

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed wastes no time in establishing everything you need to know about Paula (Maslany) and the show itself in a very inventive way. It’s evening in NYC, and Paula is video chatting with a guy she comfortably calls “Trev” (Brandon Flynn) as he sips a beer and tells her that the goat painting she’s trying to hang up on her crisp apartment wall is way too small. In between the laughs as Paula unpacks moving boxes, she laments about how Karl (Jake Johnson) won’t let Hazel (Nola Wallace) stay over at her new place if it’s not completely set up.

Paula knows she’s a bit of a hot mess, and is both aware of the fact that she needs to get her life in order, and that, well, that’s just how she is. Maslany might be one of very few people who could deliver a line in which she jokes that she should maybe take a bath with a toaster, and it comes across as wickedly charming and magnetic. She might never fully have her life in order, but she’s doing her damn best.

The rug is pulled out from under us when Trev clocks that they only have six minutes left of their call, and says that she could “buy another hour.” Paula then asks if they could “make six minutes work.” Suddenly, pants are down, the talk gets dirty, and it’s clear that Paula’s paid for online sex from a “cam boy,” who she has been in a pseudo-relationship with for quite some time, given how much he seems to casually know about her personal life. Paula is paying for sexual pleasure, yes, but she’s also paying for someone to be her friend as she adjusts to life as a divorcee.

The aforementioned proverbial rug then gets thrown out the window when, during another virtual dinner date with Trev, his doorbell rings, and an unknown assailant attacks him, with Paula left to helplessly watch from her home in her cheetah-print bra. She shows a cop a recording from her phone of the incident on her laptop, and the cop says that Trevor is likely blackmailing her. Everything reaches peak intensity and danger when Paula starts getting calls from someone who knows specific details about her personal life — including her daughter — and who demands money, unless she wants her cam boy videos leaked. Paula’s chaotic life just got inexplicably more uncertain and unstable at the worst possible time.

Tatiana Maslany Is the Perfect Choice To Lead ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’

What’s so great about Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is that Tatiana Maslany has the chance to fully show off all she is capable of as a performer. Of course, the series Orphan Black, which won Maslany an Emmy and planted her firmly on the Hollywood map, had her playing multiple characters, naturally conveying her range. The divisive She-Hulk: Attorney at Law allowed her to break the fourth wall and loosen up as she brought a Marvel character to life in a fun way. Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed feels like a sublime convergence of her skill sets.

Maslany is also the perfect choice for a role that subverts the thankless portrayal of mothers in film and TV. In Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Paula is the “fun” parent whom her daughter, Hazel, would much rather spend time with if given the choice. She loves and is close to her father and stepmother, but Paula is undoubtedly the person she can be her carefree, silly self with. If anything, Paula is even sillier than her daughter. Ice cream for dinner and jumping on the bed is her vibe — even if she also has bills to pay and a 3rd grade soccer team to coach.

It’s fun to see the mom character being the “mess” for a change. Paula needs to get her life together; she doesn’t have all the answers a mom is expected to have, and she unapologetically has sexual desires she needs to satisfy. The show never takes a detour to fill her with shame for that, which is refreshing, akin to how the tragically forgotten HBO series Mrs. Fletcher saw its female protagonist exploring her sexuality as an adult. (It’s only when Karl has concerns about when these virtual rendezvous were taking place that it understandably becomes problematic.)

Paula’s charismatic, gives-zero-effs personality is exactly what makes Maslany’s performance all the more impressive when Paula is thrust into tense conversations with her ex and the authorities about her increasingly convoluted blackmail situation. In between Paula trying to identify the blackmailer — and eventually, a murderer — she is dealing with an intensifying custody battle with Karl, who certainly has the upper hand and plans to move Hazel to Idaho. It’s almost uncomfortable to see Johnson play someone who isn’t a charming, lovable guy, but the New Girl star pulls it off impressively. What’s interesting is that Karl is by no means a villain. In fact, he’s a great father who just wants the best for his child. It’s simply the way he’s positioned in the narrative that we are designed not to like him. As the season progresses, it’s clear that this custody fight isn’t exactly easy for him, either, and that he might even have some second thoughts about how things are being handled.

Murray Bartlett Is a Masterful Menace in ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’

Though not much can be revealed about who exactly Murray Bartlett plays in Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed and how or when he factors into Paula’s increasingly deadly circumstances, one thing is for certain: you do not want to cross him. Bartlett’s put-together, disarming personality in the series is quickly revealed to be a guise he wears in order to get what he wants and needs.

One minute, Dennis is enjoying a lovely sushi date with his boyfriend, and the next, he’s calculating his every move and putting a bag over a woman’s head in the woods. Any trace of Bartlett’s notable performances in The White Lotus and The Last of Us is nowhere to be found here, making the possibilities of the types of characters he could play in future projects seem endless.

Kiarra Hamagami Goldberg and Charlie Hall Are ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’s Scene-Stealers

The colorful icing on the Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed cake is undoubtedly the dynamic duo that is Kiarra Hamagami Goldberg and Charlie Hall, who play Geri and Rudy, Paula’s younger, snootier coworkers. At first, they come across simply as nuisances in Paula’s life, with their only goal being to take her down a peg with their unnecessarily cruel, witty jabs. As the episodes progress, however, and the mystery gets more and more twisted, Geri and Rudy slowly become integral to the central narrative and evolve beyond “one-note” comic relief. Goldberg’s Geri deals with conflicting feelings about Paula’s circumstances, and Rudy goes from being a quirky, entitled guy with relationship baggage to someone you really root for. It’s thanks to Goldberg and Hall’s chemistry and screen presence that these two supporting characters become real standouts.

With Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Apple TV adds yet another fun, unconventional series to its expanding and star-studded library. Maslany digs into a role that’s charming and complicated, effortlessly handling the humor and heaviness that gets thrown Paula’s way. While the main mystery at hand may sometimes feel unnecessarily complex, it ultimately serves as an entertaining escape that will leave you wishing Season 2 were around the corner.

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed premieres with two episodes Wednesday, May 20 on Apple TV.

Hey General Hospital fans, we’ve got a big pile of leaks for you from our very reliable source that covers a bunch of front burner storylines and characters. We’ve got some scoop on Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey), on Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), and lots more.

We’re going to share what our reliable leaker said about what’s next for Carly, Cassius and a new death leak and info on a returning character. All right. Now, as I always do with these leaks, I want to clarify that while these are from a trustworthy source who has a behind the scenes connection at General Hospital, these are not official spoilers. So, definitely consider it in the rumor vein, but this source has given us many leaks that have come to fruition. So, as we remember, these fall into the rumor category. Let’s jump right in.

Cassius Faison Is Still A Villain on General Hospital

So, first off, while it sure looks like General Hospital is humanizing him right now, the leaker said, “Never forget that Cassius Faison is a villain. The newly invented son of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) is not a good guy.” But the leak says that even villains are capable of love. And if you remember, uber villain Helena Cassadine (Constance  Towers) definitely loved her son Stavros Cassadine and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) loved Marco Rios (Adrian Anchando).

And similarly, it looks like Cassius has developed genuine feelings for his nephew James West (Gary James Fuller) while he is pretending to be, you know, the dead father of James that died. So, another leak about Cassius that says there’s this special connection between him and James says that that will continue, but the leaker said there are some questions about how they’re going to have to deal with the big Cassius isn’t Nathan reveal, especially with James involved and without having Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) on screen right now.

Possible Temporary Recast of Maxie Jones on GH

And since it seems like Kirsten Storms may not be available to film, the insider said there are some questions behind the scenes about how the writers can deal with this storyline unless they do a Maxie recast, even if it’s just a temporary one for storyline reasons.

Also, our leaker says that Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) soon has reason to suspect something is off with Cassius, but him being the evil twin of Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not on her bingo card. Instead, the backstage chatter is that Lulu thinks not Nathan has some form of PTSD from those missing years after his presumed death.

The leakers said that Lulu learns the truth about Cassius’s true identity by the summer and that Lulu does not take it well. The rumor is that Cassius goes really dark after that and breaks bad after Lulu turns on him. And there’s this hint that we could get a whodunit and that Ryan Paevey may exit after the reveal and not stick around much longer. We’ll see.

Peter August May Return to General Hospital as a Ghost

Next on our leak list is something I’m frankly not too enthused about. They said that Wes Ramsey is back in upcoming scenes as Peter August. Now, fortunately, if he is back, Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) nephew doesn’t seem to be back from the dead, but the source said that Peter may have some ghostly appearances coming up from beyond the grave. So, that could mean that Anna is haunted by her sister’s sicko son while she’s in the newer high facility psych ward in France that she seems destined to be sent to unless somebody intervenes.

Carly Will Realize What Happened to Drew

All right, next on our leak list is one about Carly and her awful ex, Drew. So, our leaker said a couple of months ago that Carly would be the one to realize what’s happening with Drew and what Willow Tait Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) did to him. And at the time that we first got that leak, we’re like, “Okay, that seems crazy because Carly isn’t even in the storyline.”

But now because of Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) stabbing Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) with that syringe and causing his stroke, Carly is very much in the mix. So, she may be sniffing around about Jack since Carly needs him awake and communicating to give her answers about Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy).

Carly thinks that Jack put Joss somewhere and he didn’t. But she’s not going to stop. And Carly already mentioned to Nina how strange it is. There’s two strokes of two healthy men in the same house. Plus, this week it looks like Willow hands Nina another syringe of paralytic and has her mom inject Jack again at GH. Maybe to buy them more time to scheme up a solution.

So, if Carly finds out that Jack also has the same mysterious locked-in condition just like Drew, we could see Carly heading over to Willow’s house and poking around and Drew finds a way to communicate with his ex. Even though Carly hates him, she would still help because I think she hates Willow and Nina even more.

Britt Nearly Dies Saving Rocco on General Hospital

Next on our leak list is that Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) puts her life literally on the line to save Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr). Kind of owes him because, you know, he saved Britt and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). So, the rumor is that Britt winds up near death. However, I don’t suspect she’ll actually die, unless, of course, Kelly Thiebaud decides she wants to leave again. But maybe it’ll get Lulu and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) to soften up a bit towards her if she nearly dies saving Rocco.

Plus, our source also said that Finola Hughes and Steve Burton’s hiatuses that turned out really lengthy left writers scrambling and that’s why we got Anna’s kidnapping, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) stuck for so long in Carly’s attic, Rocco shooting Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), and also Josslyn’s kidnapping. They basically referred to them as stall tactics, and they said these were hasty rewrites rather than long-term planned storytelling.

Cullum Will Be Killed Off GH in Mid To Late June

Now, let’s talk about a death. Although I love the actor and I think he’s done a great job. They said that Cullum is going to be killed off in mid to late June. And honestly, that can’t come too soon because he’s tried to kill Britt and Jason and was seemingly planning to kill Brennan for asking too many questions. And I think he would gleefully kill Rocco or Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) or anybody he suspects of shooting him.

So, we’ve also heard it’s going to be an insane and dramatic July 4th, which actually hits during the second week of July sweeps. We’ve also heard that right at the end of sweeps, in the third week of July, is when Jason is back on the General Hospital scene. He’s supposed to return to filming in June. Burton confirmed that, but I don’t think that the first scenes are going to have Jason back in Port Charles right away. We’ll probably see where they’ve stuck him at and whatever happens to get him out of there.

Detective Joe Fitzpatrick Has A Secret Agenda on GH

New guy, detective Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) that we just met when he arrested Curtis supposedly has a secret agenda and Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) may have sent Joe to town, but we know they are writing an off-screen death for Tristan Rogers’ character. So, when Robert dies, reportedly Joe is in over his head.

Another item from the leak list is that Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) gets a family member this summer. That makes sense because after Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) brutally assaulted him, Isaiah is going to need several operations and his future as a transplant surgeon may be at risk because Curtis wrecked his hand. In a couple of weeks, we’re going to see the set for the Metro Court Pool make its summer debut on GH.

So, we will see how many of these leaks on our list manifest. But one thing is for sure, it’s going to be a sizzling hot summer in Port Charles. And one last reminder, again, these are not spoilers, but they are leaks. But the source has been right about a lot. They’re the ones who leaked us about Cyrus being Sam’s killer and just a ton of other stuff. So, I do like talking about their info, but just know it may not all play out, but a lot of it I’m super excited about.
