Netflix has finally decided to treat its Spanish heist franchise Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) like a living universe for good, it seems, and the latest teaser says that the show still has more to offer. The original series previously ended with Season 5, Part 2, with the surviving crew successfully stealing the gold from the Bank of Spain, faking their deaths, and escaping to new lives with new identities and passports in Portugal.

That original premise still has three seasons sitting inside Netflix’s all-time Top 10 for Non-English TV, with the platform’s engagement data from 2023 through 2025 reportedly showing 1.3 billion hours watched and around 160 million views for the main show alone. The spin-off side has already proven impressive, too. Berlin Season 1, built around Pedro Alonso’s jewel thief, opened as Netflix’s most-watched series globally in its premiere week, reached the Top 10 in 91 countries, and stayed in the Non-English Global Top 10 for seven consecutive weeks, earning 348 million hours viewed and 53 million total views. Its next installment, Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine, arrives globally on May 15, 2026, shifting the franchise into a Seville-set art-theft story involving Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine, blackmail, revenge, romance, and another high-style job.

Now, Netflix has officially confirmed the Money Heist universe will continue beyond Berlin Season 2. The announcement came during a huge public stunt in Seville on May 9, with red jumpsuits, Dalí masks, a boat on the Guadalquivir River, and “Bella Ciao” blasting for the crowd. Netflix has not confirmed whether the next project is Berlin Season 3, another character spin-off, an international expansion, or a direct continuation of Money Heist, but the teaser’s gold-bar imagery clearly signals that the Professor’s world is still in play.

The Professor’s Character Is Too Big to Die Off With ‘Money Heist’

The Professor (Álvaro Morte) feels almost impossible to exclude because he is the franchise’s brain, not just one member of the gang. Not to mention, the show’s massive fanbase loves him. He also survived the original finale, so Netflix does not need a resurrection trick to bring him back in a sequel-era story. There is room behind him as well: Berlin brought a lot of backstory to Berlin himself, while Sergio’s past, training, relationships, and full evolution into the Professor were left with far more open space. That leaves Netflix two obvious routes: a prequel about how he became the architect of the heists, or a continuation where his methods, enemies, and unfinished business pull him back in. His return is unconfirmed, but the show’s continuity and his importance in the universe make these questions unavoidable.

Berlin Season 2 is all set to stream on Netflix globally on May 15, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Brooks Marks is gearing up for the second season of Next Gen NYC — and fans will be getting an inside look at his relationship with boyfriend Kade Thomas.

“I think you’ll see more about my relationship life in season 2,” Brooks, 26, told Us Weekly exclusively at the Vulture Reality Masterminds Celebration in New York City on Thursday, May 7.

Brooks has been dating Kade since 2024, but kept their relationship largely out of the public eye. Several of Brooks’ Next Gen NYC castmates are in relationships, but he hopes to be the first one with an engagement ring on his finger.

“My boyfriend isn’t really in the public, so it’s definitely a new world for him,” he shared “I love keeping that sacred but, at the end of the day, I signed up for reality TV.”

Brooks told Us on Thursday that there was some apprehension when it came to showing that side of his life on Bravo.

“It’s all about showing every aspect of our lives,” he added. “I hope that it shows other people what a great relationship can look like.”

Bravo announced on Monday, May 11, that Next Gen NYC season 2 will premiere next month with Brooke Shields’ daughter Rowan Henchy, Liam Obergfoll and Kendall White joining the cast.

When asked which newcomer makes the biggest splash, Brooks played coy telling Us that viewers will have to “tune in to find out.”

Ariana Biermann admitted she had “hesitation” over bringing now-ex boyfriend Hudson McLeroy onto Next Gen NYC — especially because of a possible breakup. “It’s a little nerve-wracking bringing somebody onto a TV show with you and putting your whole relationship out for the world to see,” Biermann, 24, exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month […]

Along with Brooks, Next Gen NYC stars Ariana Biermann, Riley Burruss, Emira D’Spain, Ava Dash, Gia Giudice, Georgia McCann, Charlie Zakkour, Shai Fruchter and Hudson McLeroy are set to return.

“I’m so overwhelmed by all the support from the first [season]. I’m so grateful that we got a second season,” Brooks told Us. “The second season is absolutely insane.”

From the trailer released on Monday, it appears the second season will showcase the aftermath of Ariana and Hudson’s October 2025 split.

“I think viewers are going to be very shocked by all the twists and turns,” Brooks told Us. “I did not see them coming, and I was blindsided by a couple things. I’m excited to see the whole pan out.”

On a personal level, Brooks told Us that he didn’t really change anything about himself before filming season 2.

“I am still in my 20s, I’m evolving,” he explained. “I think viewers will get to see another side to me that, maybe, they didn’t see last year.”

Next Gen NYC Season 2 premieres on Bravo on Wednesday, June 24, at 9 p.m. ET/PT

If your skin is still looking a little dull after winter, there’s an easy way to fake a sun-kissed glow without booking a beach vacation. I first discovered the Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Face & Body Drops when I was getting married back in 2018. I was looking for something that delivered a natural-looking tan without having to use a thick tanning mousse that I’d have to wash off hours after applying. With these tanning drops, all you have to do is mix them into your favorite moisturizer!

Unlike messy mousses or streaky sprays, these lightweight tanning drops blend seamlessly into your skincare routine. The formula is designed to create a gradual glow, meaning you can control the depth of your tan depending on how many drops you use. Plus, the dermatologist-approved formula is fragrance-free, cruelty-free and easy enough for even self-tanning beginners to master.

One of the biggest reasons shoppers love the drops is their customization. Mix one to 12 drops into moisturizer, serum or foundation, depending on your desired level of bronze. The result is a believable glow that develops gradually instead of leaving skin orange or uneven. According to the brand, the tan can last for days while helping create a smoother-looking makeup base.

The drops have become especially popular among people who want a low-maintenance alternative to traditional self-tanners. Amazon reviewers love these drops just as much as I do — “and beyond,” according to one shopper. “It looks so natural and feels so good on your skin. You don’t even know you have anything on your face. You mix it right with your moisturizer and voilà, instant tan within an hour or so.”

Another shopper shared that this is their “favorite tanning product” they’ve been using for years, while another wrote that the tan doesn’t “streak or smell or transfer.” Because there’s no heavy guide color, the drops won’t transfer onto clothing or bedding the way some self-tanners can.

If you want glowing skin before summer officially arrives, these viral tanning drops might be the easiest beauty upgrade you make all season. Just add a few drops to your moisturizer and wake up looking like you just got back from vacation!

There’s nothing like that first warm-weather day when you want your skin to look glowy, even and effortlessly sun-kissed. But between UV damage, dryness and uneven texture, getting that radiant finish isn’t always as simple as stepping into the sun. Instead, you’re often left choosing between protecting your skin and actually loving how it looks. […]

Actress Hayden Panettiere is opening up about a frightening experience she had as a teenager. During an appearance on Jay Shetty’s popular podcast, “On Purpose,” the “Bring It On” performer got candid about the time she was placed in a bed with a very famous “undressed” man on a boat. Panettiere, 36, touched on the moment in her upcoming memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” and now she’s revealing how it impacted her.

Shetty opens the conversation on his podcast by asking Panettiere about the moment her friend took her on a boat and was later led to a room with a much older man and told to perform sex acts.

Paneittere said that, looking back on the moment, she finds it appalling given how young she was. “The fact that I was 18, even though I’d lived such a huge life and I thought I was oh so mature at 18 … scientifically, your frontal lobes don’t develop until we’re what, 25, 26?” she said.

The actress explained that while she believed she was mature enough to make challenging decisions, she said, “I wasn’t capable of being fully aware of what was going on around me.”

Hayden Panettiere Says She Was Put In This Situation By Someone She Trusted

Panettiere said her mindset shifted once she realized that she was “in danger.” Before that, the mother of one called the moment “shocking,” stating that she believed she and her friends were spending the night together to celebrate.

She went on to say how badly the moment affected her, especially because she was put in the compromising position by someone close to her. “It was led by somebody that I had grown to trust and see as a protector and somebody who had my back,” she said. “When you really find somebody that you trust, you hold on to them for dear life, and you feel so lucky.

While Paneittere doesn’t reveal who the man was, the author described him as “very famous,” adding that the situation seemed like “an average day for him.”

Thankfully, Panettiere said she was able to flee the room and hide elsewhere on the vessel. “That lion in me, that fire in me … my hair stood on end and I became ferocious,” she said. “I was like, ‘This is not happening.’”

Hayden Panettiere Is Revealing Even More In Her New Memoir, Out May 19

Also in her book, Paneittere breaks her silence on her sexuality. According to a previous report from The Blast, the “Nashville” alum said that while she wishes she had spoken about it earlier, she’s fully embracing this side of herself.

“It’s sad that I had to wait till I was 36 years old to share that part of me, but better late than never, right?” she said. “I’ve chosen to share it with the world. I’m comfortable saying I’m bisexual. I’m comfortable to confidently say that, yes, I am bisexual. I said it!”

The actress admitted that living life in the spotlight influenced what information she shared with the public about herself. However, she said she had always been attracted to women.

“[I was] much more into women,” she said before revealing why she didn’t date them publicly. “I didn’t really have the courage to throw myself fully, emotionally into it,” she said. “Because then if I did fall in love, that wasn’t something that I wanted to ever have to hide.”

Panettiere Lost Her Younger Brother

Another report from The Blast details the struggles Paneittere went through after losing her brother, Jansen, at 28.

The actress said that she will always be “heartbroken” over the loss, and even shared that it triggered previous disorders to reemerge.

“He was my only sibling, and it was my job to protect him,” she said. “When I lost him, I felt like I lost half of my soul.”

The 28-year-old died from cardiomegaly, which is an enlarged heart, along with aortic valve complications.

According to Panettiere, her brother’s death prompted her agoraphobia (severe anxiety disorder) to resurface after she was followed by paparazzi.

“I had to see horrific paparazzi pictures of myself coming out of Jansen’s funeral, which happened in a very private place, and it was shocking,” she said. “It became a destructive hamster wheel of, do I feel good enough to go out?”

Panettiere Struggled With Addiction

Prior to that, Panettiere broke her silence after struggling with addiction. “I was on the top of the world, and I ruined it,” she said, adding, “I’d think I hit rock bottom, but then there’s that trap door that opens.”

Paneittere revealed that she sought help for her addiction and attended both trauma therapy and inpatient treatment between 2021 and 2022.

“I put a lot of work into myself, and I had to be willing to be incredibly honest,” she said, revealing that her recovery journey was far from easy.

“But I don’t regret even the ugliest things that have happened to me. I feel incredibly accomplished. And I feel like I have a second chance.”

Sandra Bullock and Matthew McConaughey just gave fans another reason to love their longtime friendship. Following Mother’s Day weekend, Bullock made a surprise appearance in McConaughey’s Instagram comments after he shared a tribute post celebrating his mom, Kay “MaMac” McConaughey.

The Oscar winner kept things short and hilarious, writing, “all hail The Beast,” referencing one of the now-viral moments from MaMac’s latest campaign video. Fans immediately flooded the comments section reacting to Bullock’s appearance, with many loving the unexpected reunion between the former co-stars.

The viral moment comes as Kay “MaMac” McConaughey is officially stepping into the spotlight herself, thanks to a new campaign for Pantalones Organic Tequila, founded by Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves McConaughey.

In the campaign, MaMac stars as “The Most Interesting Mom In The World,” delivering wildly unfiltered stories and one-liners that instantly caught attention online. One especially talked-about moment featured MaMac casually recalling her late husband’s bedroom nickname. “He was good in bed, we called it ‘The Beast,’” she joked in the now-viral clip.

The campaign quickly exploded across social media, with fans praising the 94-year-old for her unapologetic humor and scene-stealing personality.

Pantalones Continues Its Pantless Marketing Campaign

The new ads are part of Pantalones Organic Tequila’s ongoing “Official Tequila Of” campaign, which has become known for its playful, chaotic, and intentionally ridiculous tone. Matthew and Camila have previously appeared pantsless in several campaign videos while grilling, riding horses, and even playing bongos to promote the brand. Now, MaMac appears to be carrying that same energy into the next chapter of the campaign.

The ads also highlight MaMac’s signature cocktail, appropriately named “MaMac’s Manhattan.” The drink features Pantalones Organic Extra Añejo Tequila mixed with Averna Amaro and orange bitters before being finished with an orange twist. The drink helps spotlight the brand’s recently released Extra Añejo tequila, a limited-edition expression finished in Texas bourbon barrels.

Sandra Bullock And Matthew McConaughey Have Stayed Close For Years

While Sandra Bullock and Matthew McConaughey have remained close friends for years, their relationship reportedly once extended beyond friendship. The pair first connected while filming “A Time to Kill” in the 1990s, where fans immediately noticed their chemistry both on and off screen.

In a 2003 interview with Cosmopolitan, Bullock admitted, “I have a hard time being just friends,” and notably never corrected the interviewer when McConaughey was referred to as her ex-boyfriend multiple times throughout the conversation. McConaughey later seemingly confirmed the romance himself during a 2017 interview with Playboy.

Despite eventually going their separate ways romantically, the two stars appear to have maintained a strong friendship over the decades. McConaughey has previously reflected on dating several famous women before meeting his wife, Camila Alves McConaughey, including Bullock, Penélope Cruz, and Renée Zellweger.

“I had met, spent time with, and seriously dated some wonderful women in my life, many of whom I am still friends with today, but ultimately they were all stops, no stays,” he wrote in his memoir.

Matthew McConaughey And Camila Alves McConaughey Built A Business Together With Pantalones

These days, McConaughey is happily married to Camila Alves McConaughey, whom he wed in 2012 after several years of dating. Over the years, the couple has become known not only for their family life but also for their growing list of business ventures together, including Pantalones Organic Tequila.

“The world doesn’t need another celebrity tequila, but tequila sure could use a kick in the pants. Pantalones Organic Tequila is the best thing we’ve made with our pants on,” Matthew and Camila McConaughey previously said in a statement about the brand. “We said, ‘let’s do it together and be face-forward.”

Matthew And Camila McConaughey’s Tequila Brand Has Gone Global

Plus, last year, Matthew and Camila added another unexpected milestone to their tequila journey when they were named the ceremonial “godparents” of Princess Cruises’ newest ship. The couple helped christen the vessel using Pantalones Organic Tequila during the celebratory event, putting a playful twist on the traditional champagne bottle ceremony.

What started as a passion project for Matthew and Camila has quickly evolved into an internationally available tequila brand, expanding far beyond the U.S. into markets including Canada, Australia, the UK, and parts of Asia.

Blake Lively appeared noticeably tense during a recent outing in New York as the fallout from her bitter legal battle with Justin Baldoni continues to dominate headlines.

Just days after the shocking settlement ended months of courtroom chaos, the actress was photographed looking somber while spending time with friends, fueling fresh speculation about the emotional toll the controversy has taken on her personal life.

The “It Ends With Us” actress stepped out in North Salem, New York over the weekend for an equestrian event, but her mood quickly became a talking point online.

According to The Daily Mail, Blake Lively was photographed frowning and appearing deep in thought while spending time with friends following the end of her highly publicized lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

The outing came shortly after the actress finalized a surprise settlement tied to the legal battle that had originally been expected to head to trial on May 18.

Observers immediately noticed the contrast between Lively’s tense appearance and husband Ryan Reynolds’ much more relaxed demeanor during his separate trip to Bermuda.

While Lively remained in New York, Reynolds traveled roughly 800 miles away to participate in the Apex Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix with his BONDS Flying Roos SailGP team.

The actor appeared cheerful and calm while competing on the water, a striking difference from the emotional expressions captured during Lively’s latest appearance.

Blake Lively Returned To The Spotlight Alone

The New York outing followed another headline-making moment earlier in the week when Lively made a solo appearance at the Met Gala.

Fans were stunned after the actress arrived at fashion’s biggest night only hours after news broke that the legal battle had officially ended.

Despite the glamorous setting, Ryan Reynolds did not attend the event alongside his wife.

The actress later admitted during an interview that she was feeling “shy” and wished her children had accompanied her to the annual fashion celebration.

The settlement itself reportedly left many observers shocked because Lively received no payout from Justin Baldoni, though she is still seeking payment for legal fees.

The agreement also came after a judge reportedly “gutted” major portions of her 2024 sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit weeks earlier by dismissing several of her allegations.

Meanwhile, Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman publicly criticized Lively’s decision to attend the Met Gala during the middle of such intense public scrutiny.

“I don’t know that it was the wisest choice. If that’s what she needs to heal, then more power to her,” Freedman told Entertainment Tonight.

Lively’s Legal Team Defends Her Actions

While critics questioned her public appearances, Blake Lively’s legal team strongly defended the actress and insisted she is refusing to hide from public life.

Attorney Sigrid McCawley told Entertainment Tonight that the actress is focused on “moving on with her life.”

McCawley also said the Met Gala appearance was meant to prove Lively was “standing up and not being silenced.”

“That’s exactly what Blake is intent on doing. We wouldn’t want any woman in that position to be silenced. They should be out living their life,” the lawyer explained.

Following the settlement, McCawley revealed that Lively is now concentrating on “exposing the digital retaliation campaign here that was weaponized against her.”

The attorney also praised the actress for continuing to fight publicly despite the backlash surrounding the case.

According to McCawley, Lively “was incredibly brave to stand up for herself in that moment and for others in the workplace and she’s going to continue to pave that path of being really bold and brave in this moment.”

The legal fight became one of Hollywood’s most closely watched celebrity disputes after allegations, countersuits, and leaked text messages pulled several major names into the drama.

Justin Baldoni’s Team Fires Back Again

Baldoni’s legal team, however, continued taking direct aim at Lively even after the settlement became official.

Freedman claimed during an interview with TMZ that the actress chose to settle because she feared testifying under oath during trial proceedings.

The attorney argued that a courtroom battle would have “exposed her lies” and emphasized that Lively “ended up with nothing” after the agreement was finalized.

“Part of the reason Blake settled is because she was scared to take the witness stand at trial. She did not want to face cross examination by anyone because that would require her to tell the truth,” Freedman alleged.

Blake Lively And Justin Baldoni Move Forward Separately

As Lively attempted to return to public life, Baldoni also made his first public appearance since the settlement.

The filmmaker was photographed in Nashville while spending time with his wife Emily.

Unlike the tense expressions captured on Lively’s face, Baldoni appeared relaxed and smiling throughout the outing while holding hands with his wife.

Reports claimed the director is now focused on “moving forward” alongside Emily and their two children following the exhausting court battle.

For now, both stars appear determined to leave the legal chaos behind, though public fascination surrounding the fallout shows little sign of fading anytime soon.

The first look at the Summer House season 10 reunion is here — and, as expected, West Wilson is the cast’s biggest target.

“The thing that I’m most focused on is West’s ease of lying,” Kyle Cooke told costars Ciara Miller, Carl Radke, Mia Calabrese and Ben Waddell in a clip from the reunion which debuted at the NBC upfronts on Monday, May 11.

The clip, which has since been shared via social media, also showed Ciara, 30, claiming that West “had a girlfriend this entire time.” Kyle, 43, seemingly corroborated her claim.

“We know that he had a full-blown, exclusive relationship since February of 2025,” he continued. “We actually have receipts.”

As the clip faded to black, Mia could be heard saying, “Can’t wait.”

This is the first official look at the upcoming reunion after several audio clips were leaked in April. (Bravo launched an investigation into the leak and has since identified the source.)

Bravo fans are gearing up for the Summer House cast to take on West, 31, when the highly anticipated reunion airs later this month. It appears he’ll have more to answer for than just his relationship with Amanda Batula.

Amanda, 34, and West confirmed in late March that they are dating after weeks of rumors (which they initially denied). Amanda was previously married to Kyle, while West dated Ciara — who was one of Amanda’s best friends — for several months in 2023.

“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” they wrote, in part. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything.”

West shared his take on filming the reunion during a recent episode of his “Show Me Something” podcast.

“These are my friends, and I’ve caused a lot of damage, which f***ing sucks,” West explained on May 5. “It’s gonna take time, for sure. Doing the reunion was one step. Got through [it] and we’re on the other side of it. Reunions aren’t fun.”

He added, “It’s the darkest form of therapy. You don’t normally get that much feedback on how your actions impact other people.”

West told cohost Sophie Cunningham that his goal was to “be better” about his friendships going forward.

“I’m not trying to be cliché, but the only thing I can do from this is learn and try and be better,” the Bravo star continued. “The only way you can make experiences like this worth it, as dark as it gets, is to be better from it later.”

He added, “Obviously, I have a lot to learn from and be better for, but it’s absolutely the only way you can turn it positive.”
