Neill Blomkamp had an almost impossible job following District 9. His feature debut came out of nowhere, earned more than $200 million worldwide, landed a Best Picture nomination and immediately established the filmmaker as one of Hollywood’s most exciting new science-fiction voices. Naturally, his follow-up went even bigger. Much bigger. He equipped himself with an A-list cast, a huge budget and fused District 9 with Blade Runner to make this epic science fiction feature that’s exploding on Netflix once again, as audiences rediscover it 13 years later.
Elysium is streaming on Netflix, giving audiences another opportunity to revisit Blomkamp’s 2013 sci-fi epic. In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) will stop at nothing to preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium – but that doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. Max (Matt Damon) agrees to take on a life-threatening mission, one that could bring equality to these polarized worlds.
Blomkamp wrote, directed and produced Elysium, using the significantly larger budget to expand many of the themes he’d explored in District 9. Immigration, inequality, access to healthcare, worker exploitation and transhumanism all sit underneath the gunfire, exoskeletons and exploding mercenaries.

Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.

Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.

You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.

You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

Who Stars in ‘Elysium’?
Elysium also stars Sharlto Copley (District 9) as Kruger, Alice Braga (I Am Legend) as Frey, Diego Luna (Andor) as Julio, Wagner Moura (Narcos) as Spider, William Fichtner (The Dark Knight) as John Carlyle, Faran Tahir (Iron Man) as President Patel, Brandon Auret (Chappie) as Drake, and Emma Tremblay (Supergirl) as Matilda.
Elysium wasn’t a blockbuster hit, especially not relative to its budget, but it was a modest success, all things considered. It opened at No. 1 domestically with $29.8 million and ultimately earned $93.1 million in North America and approximately $193.1 million internationally, giving it a worldwide total of roughly $286.2 million. Critics also felt it failed to hit the heights of District 9, while it currently has a 64% Rotten Tomatoes score from 262 reviews, and a 58% audience score.
2026 has been a banner year for Prime Video so far, and the streamer is enjoying continued success with its latest release, Reacher. Starring Alan Ritchson, Prime Video has unleashed four seasons of Reacher in only five years, and with the fifth season already shooting, it’s a safe bet that it will be released before the end of 2027. Prime Video also brought back its hit Reacher replacement, Cross, for its second season earlier this year. The show stars Aldis Hodge, who starred as Hawkman opposite Dwayne Johnson in Black Adam, and Prime Video has already ordered a third season of the James Patterson-inspired crime show. Hellboy veteran Ron Perlman has even joined the cast of Cross Season 3, which is also expected to be released before the end of 2027.
One of Prime Video’s biggest success stories in the last few years is Fallout, the sci-fi series inspired by the popular video game series from developer Bethesda. Fallout set out to tell a new story set within the existing timeline and canon instead of adapting the events of one of the games, which has proven to be a smart choice, as it allowed for the introduction of beloved new characters like The Ghoul (played by Walton Goggins) and Lucy (played by Ella Purnell). Prime Video unleashed the long-awaited second season of Fallout at the end of 2025, and Season 2 bled into the early months of 2026, but the show isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Before Fallout returns for Season 3 in 2027, the show has surged back into the global top 10 in more than 15 countries around the world. Fallout is perfect for fans of Silo and The Last of Us, as it takes elements from both shows, like vaults and post-apocalyptic wastelands, and effectively merges them for one series.

Prime Video Secured Some Big Stars for ‘Fallout’ Season 3
The biggest names to join the cast between Fallout Season 1 and 2 were Kumail Nanjiani and Macaulay Culkin, and Prime Video is continuing the trend of getting big stars in Season 3. News broke earlier this year that Aaron Paul, famed for his role as Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad, is joining the cast of Fallout Season 3 in an undisclosed role. Manny Jacinto, who recently stole the show in the canceled Star Wars Disney Plus series, The Acolyte, has also joined the cast of Fallout Season 3. Production on Fallout Season 3 is deep in the weeds, which should allow the show to return next year with no problems.

2026 has been a roller-coaster of a year for Chris Pratt, who got the ball rolling with one of the biggest sci-fi misfires of the year, Mercy. Pratt co-stars alongside Rebecca Ferguson in the film, which grossed only $54 million at the box office against a $60 million budget before going on to become one of the biggest streaming hits of the year so far on Prime Video. Pratt found box office redemption with his return to the NintendoVerse in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which was the first film of the year to reach $1 billion at the box office. Pratt has also been tapped to return as James Reece in the second season of The Terminal List on Prime Video, setting him up for a big second half of 2026 with some massive momentum.
Pratt has several star-making roles under his belt, but one of the first that comes to mind is that of Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy films. He’s also famous for his work as Owen in the Jurassic World trilogy, but back in 2016, he starred in one of the most underrated sci-fi films of his career, Passengers. Jennifer Lawrence co-stars opposite Pratt in the film, which has found a streaming home on Netflix for most of the year, but this won’t be the case for much longer. Netflix announced not long ago that Passengers is officially leaving the streaming platform at the end of the month, meaning the last day to watch the film will be on August 31. It’s unclear at this time if the film is migrating to another platform at the start of September.

What Is ‘Passengers’ About?
The official synopsis for Passengers, which also stars Michael Sheen and Laurence Fishburne, reads as follows: “Mechanical engineer Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) wakes up alone aboard the starship Avalon, torn from hibernation 90 years too soon by a malfunction. Facing a lifetime of solitude before the ship reaches its destination, he’s confronted with an impossible choice that will change two lives forever. When writer Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence) enters the picture, an unforgettable adventure ignites in this romantic sci-fi thriller.” Passengers earned 30% from critics but a passable 63% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. The film also grossed $300 million at the box office against a $100 million budget, largely on the back of Lawrence’s stardom, who was red-hot at the time thanks to The Hunger Games movies.
Check out Passengers before it’s removed from Netflix at the end of this month, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Chris Pratt’s future projects.

Amazon is investing plenty in its next action superstar after acquiring the James Bond franchise for $1 billion. The casting for the new 007 is justifiably taking some time, with the new face of a massive era in both Bond and Prime Video’s history a choice that requires plenty of time and detail. Recently, producer Amy Pascalconfirmed that the team’s “methodical” approach to casting should come to an end before the end of the year, sending the rumor mill into overdrive as the likes of Henry Cavill, Jack Lowden, and Callum Turner‘s names turn from whispers into shouts.
Whoever the new 007 is, there’s no doubt that they will become the face of Prime Video, and likely the most famous action star on the planet. But before that time comes for Cavill, Lowden, Turner, or whoever else might be cast, there’s already a man flying that action flag for Prime Video, and he recently returned to the viewing pleasure of millions. Following a brutal third season, Alan Ritchson‘s Reachermade an explosive return last week in Season 4, Episode 1, “City of Brotherly Love,” directed by Sam Hill and written by Nick Santora.
With the promise of 30 fight sequences spread across its eight episodes, fans can expect the most action-packed installment of Reacher yet over the coming weeks, with Christopher Marquette (The Girl Next Door), Agnez Mo (Pernikahan Dini), Anggun (Cannes Confidential), Kevin Corrigan (Grounded for Life), Sydelle Noel (Black Panther), Marc Blucas (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and more added to the cast. Already, the series has shot back to its rightful place atop the streaming charts, ranking as the most-watched series on Prime Video in both the U.S. and worldwide.

Collider Exclusive · Action Hero Quiz Which Action Hero Would Be Your Perfect Partner? Rambo · James Bond · Indiana Jones · John McClane · Ethan Hunt
Five legends. Five completely different ways of getting out alive — with style, with muscle, with charm, with luck, or with a plan so intricate it probably shouldn’t work. Ten questions will reveal which action hero was built to have your back.
🎖️Rambo
🍸James Bond
🏺Indiana Jones

🔧John McClane
🎭Ethan Hunt
Advertisement
01
You’re dropped into a dangerous situation with no warning. What do you need most from a partner? The first few seconds tell you everything about who belongs beside you.
Advertisement
02
You have to get somewhere dangerous, fast. How do you travel? How you get there is half the mission.
Advertisement
03
You’re pinned down and outnumbered. What does your ideal partner do? This is when you find out what someone is really made of.
Advertisement
04
The mission is paused. You have one evening to decompress. What does your partner suggest? Who someone is when the pressure drops is who they actually are.
Advertisement
05
How do you prefer your partner to communicate mid-mission? Good communication is the difference between partners and a liability.
Advertisement
06
Your enemy is powerful, well-resourced, and has the upper hand. How should your partner approach them? The approach to the enemy defines the partnership.
Advertisement
07
Things go badly wrong and you’re captured. What do you trust your partner to do? Who someone is when you need them most is the only thing that matters.
Advertisement
08
What does your ideal partner bring to the table that you couldn’t replace? A great partner fills the gap you didn’t know you had.
Advertisement
09
Every partnership has a cost. Which of these can you live with? No one comes without baggage. The question is whether you can carry it together.
Advertisement
10
It’s the final moment. Everything is on the line. What do you need from your partner right now? The last question is the most honest one.
Advertisement
Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Advertisement
Rambo
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Advertisement
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.
Advertisement
John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Advertisement
Ethan Hunt
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

What Have Critics Said About ‘Reacher’ Season 4?
The latest season of Reacher has kept up the action show’s streak of ranking above 90% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes in every season, with the fourth installment currently scoring 94%. An adaptation of Gone Tomorrow, the 13th novel in Lee Child‘s long-running series, what exactly have critics said about the latest batch of ass-kicking episodes? For Collider, David Caballero wrote, “Reacher Season 4 stays true to itself by delivering a fistful of rageful, determined justice that will have you cheering through gritted teeth,” adding that this is “the show’s bleakest, most furious, and most demanding season so far.”

Qualley, 31, went nearly barefoot at the Dog Stars premiere in London, England, on Thursday, August 20, in a pair of soleless Chanel flats. The shoes, which are going viral on social media, featured nothing but a heel and two straps that tied in bows around the base of her ankle. The actress made sure her toes were perfectly polished with black paint.
On the red carpet, Qualley opened up to Good Morning America about her unconventional look, confirming that she was indeed barefoot. “Well, I found the little Chanel [shoes],” she said while looking down at her feet. “I’m Chanel barefoot!”
The Substance star styled her interesting footwear with a Chanel dress featuring a plunging neckline, short sleeves, a snatched waist and all-over fringe details.

For glam, Qualley donned a full beat including glowy skin, manicured eyebrows, winged eyeliner, blushed cheeks and pin lops. Her brunette hair was parted down the middle and styled in soft curls.

Fans were quick to share their reactions to Qualley’s shoes via Instagram.
“I was IN LOVE until I saw the shoes,” one wrote. A second agreed, “What the helly?” Another person questioned her flats, writing, “Why bother with a shoe at all at that point?? 🤨.” One more loved her overall look, but wasn’t here for the partial-shoes: “Silly shoes, but she is sooooo incredibly beautiful!! 😍😍😍.”

In Dog Stars,Qualley plays Cima alongside Jacob Elordi, who stars as Hig. More cast members include Josh Brolin (Bangley) and Guy Pearce (Pops). The movie follows survivors of a pandemic that travel through a post-apocalyptic land to find the origin of a radio transmission.
Qualley previously promoted the film, which is set to premiere in theaters on August 28, via Instagram.
In June, she shared a zoomed-in photo of herself, giving fans a close-up on her freckles. “Dog Stars ⭐️ 💫 in theaters August 28,” she captioned the post.
Love Island USA alum Iris Kendall opened up about beauty treatments she’s tried through the years.
“Obviously I wanna preface this by saying do whatever to your body,” she said via TikTok on Thursday, August 20. “These are just personal things that I regret.”
“The first thing that I really regret doing to myself is getting lip injections,” Kendall, 26, said, noting she got the injections at just 18 years old. “I really wish I didn’t do that. It just never fully went away. I just don’t think the injector knew what they were doing. They totally overfilled my lips.”
The reality star went on to say that if her fans want to get lip filler, she recommends finding the “right injector.”

“For me, I already had naturally plump lips, so I didn’t really need it,” she said.
“I just didn’t want to form those wrinkles on my forehead, so that’s why I did it,” she added.
The influencer also shared that she doesn’t have any Botox in her lower face, but normally has “strong facial muscles.”
“That’s why some things don’t move on my face,” she explained.

Another thing she regrets is tanning without SPF. “I do have sun damage from not wearing sunscreen,” she shared. “Also, make sure you put it on your neck.”
Kendall also noted that she regrets not applying products to her neck while doing her skincare and makeup routine, as well as not “embracing” her natural brunette hair color. “Don’t get me wrong, I did love the blonde, but it was hard to maintain,” she said.
Kendall lastly shared that she regrets spending so much money on expensive skincare products and not finding her best eyebrow shape earlier.
Hayden Panettiere‘s ex Brian Hickerson was reportedly accused of drug use three days before the actress’ unexpected death at 36.
According to court records obtained by People on Friday, August 21, prosecutors accused Hickerson, 37, of continued drug use amid his efforts to expunge his domestic violence convictions. Neither Hickerson nor his attorney attended the hearing.
During the hearing that occurred on August 13, prosecutors argued that Hickerson’s petition to expunge his two felony counts of corporal injury to a spouse/cohabitant should be denied. (Hickerson was convicted in 2021 after pleading no contest in a domestic violence case involving Panettiere. He was sentenced to 45 days in jail, for which he spent 13 days behind bars, four years of formal probation, 52 domestic violence classes and a five-year protective order. Hickerson also had to pay $500 in restitution.)
At the hearing last week, a prosecutor argued that Hickerson appeared “quite high on what appears to be a stimulant,” claiming he was “very clearly not sober” during a recent interview, per the outlet. The prosecutor alleged that Hickerson spoke “for 15 minutes about the abuse that’s been documented in his victim’s bestselling book, and he makes several admissions about that.” (Hickerson was interviewed by TMZ in May following the release of Panettiere’s memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning.)
Hayden Panettiere‘s on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson found himself back in the actress’ life before her shocking death. “Brian was with her at the time of her death,” the source exclusively shared with Us. “He had inserted himself into her life and was surveilling her.” According to a Greenville City Police Department incident report obtained by […]
The prosecutor also stated that Hickerson “was high and arrested at a local restaurant in West Hollywood” in August 2025.

Us confirmed that Hickerson was arrested twice within a matter of days, the first time at a bar on August 2, 2025, and again on August 6, 2025. Records show that he was cuffed at 5:14 p.m. on August 2, booked at 5:45 p.m. and released at 3:17 a.m. the following morning. On August 6, he was arrested just before 8 a.m., booked at 9:12 a.m. and released later that evening.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department confirmed to Us that charges for both arrests were “under the influence of a controlled substance.”
According to records viewed by Us, Hickerson did have a hearing on August 13, which was three days before Panettiere’s death. His expungement request was ultimately denied by a judge.
Following the hearing last week, the L.A. County D.A.’s Office told People in a statement that prosecutors opposed Hickerson’s petition “based on the individual’s Aug. 2, 2025, arrest” and what they characterized as his “continued demonstrable drug use.”

Us has reached out to Hickerson’s attorney and the prosecutor in the case for comment.
Panettiere died on Sunday, August 16. She was found unresponsive at a residence in South Carolina by Brian and his brother, Zach Hickerson. Emergency services arrived at the scene to perform “advanced cardiac life support measures,” but the actress was pronounced dead that afternoon.
Hayden Panettiere felt compelled to set firm boundaries with ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson in the months before her death, including taking steps to protect herself. “She helped him from time to time because he made her feel guilty, claiming he was trying to turn his life around, but couldn’t because she put him in jail,” a […]
An autopsy was completed and found “no signs of trauma that would have contributed” to Panettiere’s death, per the coroner’s office. The cause and manner of her death “remain pending further investigation and the completion of additional studies.”

The New York Times reported on Thursday, August 20, that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was investigating Panettiere’s death.
Brian broke his silence on Panettiere’s death in a statement shared via his attorney Sloan Ellis.
“Hayden’s death remains under investigation and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed,” Ellis told Us on Thursday. “As has been publicly reported, police confirmed there were no signs of foul play. Out of respect for Hayden’s loved ones and the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this time.”
“Tom Hanks knows who I am and he’s approaching me to talk to me,” Fitzpatrick, 43, said he was thinking on the Thursday, August 20 episode of the “Fitz and Whit” podcast. “I make eye contact…Tom’s gotta know who I am. Makes eye contact, points at me… so I’m feeling really good, I’m like, ‘Holy crap, how cool is this? Tom Hanks knows who I am and he’s approaching me to talk to me.’”
It turns out, that was not the case.
“He looks at me and he says, ‘Just so you know that’s a huge faux pas,” Fitzpatrick admitted. “You’re not supposed to wear a top hat at a wedding. That’s saved for the groom.’ And then [he] just keeps walking.”
Tony Romo scored an invite to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding after making multiple viral comments about the newlyweds’ relationship. Romo, 46, and his CBS Sports broadcast partner, Jim Nantz, were in attendance at Swift and Kelce’s nuptials at Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio. In […]
Fitzpatrick continued, “It was like 50 percent that he was serious, 50 percent that it was a joke. I’m not sure which. But he has no idea who I am. I’m the guy that wore the top hat that was a huge faux pas at the wedding ‘cause it’s reserved for the groom.”

Fitzpatrick is a long-time friend of Kelce’s, having told Adam Schefter in 2022 that the pair met over a game of beer pong at a party. Despite his fashion error, the ex-quarterback has talked glowingly about his friend’s Madison Square Garden wedding, which took place on July 3.
“I may have cried,” he told at the ACC Golf Championship. “It was very emotional and also very fun and funny, too. It had all the feels.”
Fitzpatrick was also asked about the rumors that Kelce, 36, cried at the wedding.
Adam Sandler officiating Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded wedding felt a bit unbelievable to the lucky 1,000 in attendance. “Adam Sandler … came down [the aisle], everybody laughed and thought it was a joke at first,” American Century Investments CEO Jonathan Thomas said on the Thursday, July 17, episode of “The Compound” podcast. “He […]
“You know, it was kind of far away,” he said. “It might have been sweat that got in his eyes. I’m not sure. It was kind of far away, so I can’t tell you 100 percent.”

He added in an interview with People the week after the wedding that he was “floored” when he realized Adam Sandler would officiate the ceremony.
Afterward, FItzpatrick said he and his wife, Liza, tore it up on the dance floor.
“There was a lot of dancing, hours and hours, we’re still kind of recovering from being out on that dance floor for six-plus hours,” he said. “My favorite moment was just [when] I got to spend the night with my wife just on the dance floor, being around and being in it, so that was pretty magical for us.”
After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent six years in California, royal watchers are wondering what really caused the couple to head back to the U.K.
“It is clear their time in America did not go to plan,” former royal butler Grant Harrold exclusively shares with Us. “We see that through the Netflix deal and some of their other commercial decisions. I think there are multiple factors at play. I suppose the dream life in the U.S. that they imagined didn’t come off.”
Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, initially signed a $100 million, multiyear deal to produce their own TV shows and movies with Netflix in 2020.
Although they have not completely cut ties with the couple, Netflix ended their partnership with Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, in March after two seasons of With Love, Meghan.
Prince Harry is looking forward to coming back home after spending six years in California. “Harry is not as happy in the U.S. as he is in the U.K.,” a source exclusively shares with Us after news broke that the Duke of Sussex and wife Meghan Markle would be moving back to Britain. “They aim […]
Harrold, 48, who previously worked with King Charles III and is now a British etiquette expert and broadcaster, noted that Harry and Meghan aren’t the first to make a big move and have a change of heart.

“This happens to people all the time,” Harrold shares. “Many move abroad and then change their minds and move back. It just happens that this certain decision is incredibly public.”

News broke on Wednesday, August 19, that Harry and Meghan are relocating their children to the U.K. for an extended period starting later this month. The couple’s son, Prince Archie, 7, and daughter, Princess Lilibet, 5, are scheduled to begin school there in September.
Harry and Meghan will reportedly keep their home in Montecito, California, and their vacation residence in Portugal while having non-royal property in Britain.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are heading back to Britain — kids in tow. Six years after stepping down as senior working royals and decamping to California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are relocating their family to the United Kingdom for an extended period. News broke of the move in August 2026, with multiple […]
Meghan is expected to continue leading her lifestyle brand from their international home while also planning a return to acting. Harry, meanwhile, will be spending more time supporting U.K.-based charities and patronages.

While the moving news caught many fans by surprise, Harrold is hopeful that some members of the royal family, including Charles, 77, were made aware long before it became front-page news.
“We know Harry and the king have been working on their relationship for the last few months. Even if it was only confirmed [to Charles over] the weekend, I would like to think there has been back and forth between them,” Harrold, who is a partner of OLBG says. “I think Harry would have taken his dad’s advice on aspects of the move and taken his pointers. Harry knows that doing this behind his dad’s back would cause more upset, and I imagine he’s doing everything he can to keep things sweet at the moment.”
Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter addressed the recently announced spinoff Legends starring Charlie Hunnam and more original cast members.
“I know the news about Charlie’s show hit today, and I’ve been getting some queries about it. I just want to say my piece: I’m not involved with Legends at all, nor should I be,” Sutter, 66, said in a Thursday, August 20, Instagram video. “It has nothing to do with the characters I created or the mythology.”
Sutter explained that Legends, which will be a miniseries, is more about “the legacy” of Sons of Anarchy rather than the show itself. The screenwriter revealed that Hunnam, who is developing the project, approached him with the idea before taking it to FX.
“Just want folks to know that Charlie came to me early on, when he was in the process of pitching this to the network, to ask for my blessing, knowing that the IP [intellectual property] would probably not be able to be invoked for various reasons of legalese stuff, and I gave Charlie my full blessing,” he continued. “I wish nothing but the best for him in this project.”

Sutter added that his wife, Katey Sagal, is going to appear in the series as well. (Sagal starred in Sons of Anarchy as Gemma Teller Morrow, who was the mother of Hunnam’s character, Jax.)
The director teased that he caught a glimpse at the script for Legends while it was lying on his wife’s “knitting table” — and he thinks fans are going to like it.
“It’s so well-done, and I think you’ll dig it. And that’s my two cents,” he said. “I love Charlie to death, and I think you will have mad love for this project as well.”
Not only are Hunnam and Sagal returning, but a majority of the cast will be back as well. Ron Perlman, Maggie Siff, Mark Boone Junior, Tommy Flanagan, Kim Coates and Theo Rossi will also return.

According to the series’ premise, Legends will follow the Sons of Anarchy cast as they reunite “at a fan convention after more than a decade.”

“The line between life and art blurs as the fractured brotherhood finds itself up against a real-world threat more dangerous than anything they ever faced in their show,” the logline stated.

In addition to starring in Legends, Hunnam serves as an executive producer. It will be produced by FX Productions and 20th Television.
“When Charlie brought us this inspired idea, we instantly sparked to his bold and entertaining vision,” FX Entertainment president Nick Grad said in a statement after the network ordered the series. “Charlie’s talents are on full display as a writer, performer and executive producer, leading the real-life brotherhood on an adventure that is both a love letter to the series and a fun meta twist on what fans think they know.”
The ruling on the field stands: Nicole Williams English’s No. 1 cheerleader remains her husband and former NFL star, Larry English.
“Larry is so great because he’s just down for whatever, and he always hangs out with the girls,” Nicole, 42, exclusively shared with Us earlier this month when promoting The Girls: A Khloé Kardashian Project. “It’s like, you gotta expect this.”
In Hulu’s new reality show, Nicole can’t help but spill some secrets about her marriage to her costars, which includes longtime friends Olivia Pierson and Natalie Halcro. Khadijah Haqq-McCray, Malika Haqq and Yris Palmer are also part of the ensemble cast, with Khloé Kardashian serving as the executive producer.
The very first episode has Nicole sharing some OMG details about her sex life with her close gal pals.
While many NFL stars dominate on the football field, it’s their wives, fiancées and girlfriends who often run the show at home. Fans have since referred to this elite group of women as “WAGs,” a shorthand for “wives and girlfriends” that grew in popularity thanks to E!’s three-season WAGS docuseries in 2015. Netflix went on […]
“I feel like with girlfriends, I won’t say too much, but with girlfriends and hanging out with your best friends, having a couple drinks, you kind of just spill the beans on everything — even if it is very personal,” Nicole told Us. “And girl chat sometimes goes a little too far, and this definitely went there.”

She continued, “I’m not gonna say too much. Sometimes you overexaggerate a little bit when you’re drinking, and it just led to what you guys will see.”
Nicole and Larry, 40, first signed up for reality TV when they appeared on the E! reality series WAGS from 2015 to 2017. Cameras followed a group of ladies who were romantically linked to professional athletes.

During the show, viewers watched the couple get married during a romantic ceremony at the Montage Laguna Beach in Orange County, California. They are now raising 3-year-old daughter India.
Although it’s been nearly 10 years since Nicole last filmed with Olivia, 37, and Natalie, 38, the trio remain dear friends.

“We’ve been friends for so long. I mean, Nat and Liv were like sisters to [Larry],” Nicole told Us. “He’ll bicker about them. I bicker to them about him, you know. He’ll be like, ‘I’m going on a hot date tonight,’ and I’m like, ‘Cool, Nat and Liv are coming.’ He’s like, ‘Ah, why can’t we ever just be alone?’ We come as a three-pack.”
She continued, “It’s more than a friendship too. We met later in life, and usually when you do that, you become friends, but you don’t find a best friend in that. I definitely think we were just meant to be because we’re just all so similar.”
Watch the friendships unfold by streaming The Girls: A Khloé Kardashian Project now on Hulu.
