Jessica Chastain’s delayed Apple TV+ series “The Savant” has finally emerged from the streamer’s limbo, roughly a year after Apple put its release on hold.

The series was set to debut in September 2025, but Apple postponed it after what the company called “careful consideration.” The decision followed the Sept. 10 killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

It is now expected to air in spring 2027, giving the thriller a path to the screen after months of uncertainty.

‘The Savant’ Finally Lands A 2027 Release Window

Roughly a year after Apple TV+ shelved its premiere, “The Savant” has finally received a new release window.

The thriller was originally scheduled to premiere on Sept. 26, 2025, but Apple pulled it from its lineup on Sept. 23, just three days before its debut.

“After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone The Savant,” a spokesperson for the streamer said at the time, per Deadline. “We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series at a future date.”

However, reports suggested that the series’ focus on online hate groups and domestic extremism was considered politically sensitive following Kirk’s assassination.

According to Deadline, the release has now been rescheduled for spring 2027, although an exact date remains unannounced. The timing could put it in contention for the 2027 Emmys.

Jessica Chastain Pushes Back: ‘We’re Not Aligned’

Chastain pushed back on Apple’s decision to postpone the crime thriller. In a statement shared on social media at the time, the actress praised her working relationship with the streamer but said they were “not aligned” on the decision.

“I want to say how much I value my partnership with Apple. They’ve been incredible collaborators, and I deeply respect their team,” she said. “That said, I wanted to reach out and let you know that we’re not aligned on the decision to pause the release of The Savant.”

She argued that the upheaval surrounding Kirk’s killing made it more important to confront the series’ subject matter.

The “Interstellar” actress pointed to several acts of political and mass violence in the United States, saying the series had become especially relevant.

“I’ve never shied away from difficult subjects, and while I wish this show wasn’t so relevant, unfortunately it is,” she added. “The Savant is about the heroes who work every day to stop violence before it happens, and honoring their courage feels more urgent than ever.”

‘The Savant’ Takes Chastain Inside Online Hate Groups

4

Created by Melissa James Gibson, “The Savant” follows highly trained undercover investigator Jodi Goodwin, played by Chastain. She infiltrates online hate groups to identify people who could move from extremist rhetoric to real-world violence.

Her work involves tracking these communities to stop domestic extremists before they act. Away from the operation, Jodi balances her secret work with life as a mother and wife to Charlie Goodwin, played by Nnamdi Asomugha.

The cast also includes Cole Doman, Jordana Spiro, Trinity Lee Shirley, Toussaint Francois Battiste, and guest star Pablo Schreiber. James Badge Dale appears in a major recurring role.

The Real Investigator Who Inspired ‘The Savant’

4

“The Savant” drew inspiration from a 2019 Cosmopolitan feature by journalist Andrea Stanley titled “Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?”

The article profiled an anonymous investigator who infiltrated online extremist communities and worked with law enforcement to identify potential threats.

Apple later confirmed that Stanley served as a consultant on the series. The project reached Chastain after her production partner, Kelly Carmichael, brought her Stanley’s article.

Jessica Chastain Turns to Horror and a Netflix Drama

Chastain’s other upcoming projects include the horror film “Other Mommy,” directed by Rob Savage and based on Josh Malerman’s novel “Incidents Around the House.”

The story centers on a young girl named Bela who develops a relationship with a sinister figure in her home that closely resembles her mother. Chastain plays Bela’s mother and the sinister figure known as Other Mommy. The film is scheduled for release in early October.

The actress also joined Netflix’s upcoming drama “The Retrievals,” alongside Emilia Jones and Amy Ryan.

She plays Kaitlyn Langford, who has endured several failed fertility treatments, per Variety.

“When she learns she’s also a victim of criminal drug diversion at the Yale Fertility Center, she faces a devastating personal reckoning and becomes a key plaintiff in this historic lawsuit against Yale,” Netflix wrote about the plot.

I haven’t seen many films where I’ve wished for the end to come faster simply because I wanted to stop crying. But Elsinore is one of those films. Directed by Simon Stone and written by Stephen Beresford, the film stars Andrew Scott as stage and screen actor Ian Charleson; we follow him during the last years of his life as he prepares for his final role as Hamlet, while also struggling with an AIDS diagnosis. The stirring drama gives Scott the perfect stage for one of the best performances of his life, while the emotional and devastating story set during the height of the AIDS crisis makes it almost impossible to watch without reaching for tissues. Elsinore allows Scott to deliver an authentic and gut-wrenching performance that stays with you long after the movie is over.

What Is ‘Elsinore’ About?

When we first meet Scott’s Ian Charleson in 1989, he’s in a bit of a slump. After an early career hit with Chariots of Fire, his recent roles have been lackluster, and he longs to return to theater. When a young Daniel Day Lewis drops out of Richard Eyre‘s (Johnny Flynn) production of Hamlet at the National Theater in London, Charleson’s suddenly given the opportunity of a lifetime to replace him, and play one of Shakespeare’s most iconic characters. Unfortunately, at the same time, he’s been diagnosed with AIDS and, after discovering lesions, is quickly reaching the advanced stage of the disease.

Turning to Dr. Margaret Johnson (Olivia Colman) at the Royal Free Hospital, Charleson begins undergoing treatment. Although Eyre knows about his condition, he still casts Charleson as Lewis’ replacement for the production. Concealing his illness from his castmates, Charleson is determined to play Hamlet even when Dr. Johnson strongly cautions against it, given the strenuous demands of the role. In between rehearsals, memorization, and practice, Charleson returns to the Royal Free Hospital regularly for treatment with his friend Patsy Pollock (Billie Piper) at his side. As the time comes for him to take to the stage, friends and family rally to Charleson as he gives an empowered and critically acclaimed final performance, inspiring his peers and audiences in the process.

In ‘Elsinore,’ Andrew Scott Gives His Greatest Performance To Date as Ian Charleson

While there are certainly moments when Elsinore stumbles as a film, what is flawless and worthy of universal acclaim is Andrew Scott’s performance as Ian Charleson. Able to grasp the soft and private moments of Charleson’s personal life along with his bombastic on-stage performance, Scott deftly navigates these different aspects of his character, slipping into Charleson’s skin so well that you barely notice his piercing blue contact lenses and straw-gold wig that doesn’t quite pass muster upon closer inspection. In the more personal moments, whether he’s across Piper’s Patsy or Flynn’s Eyre, Scott is able to capture nuance with the smallest of expressions.

But it’s when he’s opposite Luke Thompson‘s Georgie and David Dawson‘s Derek Jarman that he really pulls at the heartstrings of the viewers. Charleson has a close bond with both characters; Georgie is a former flame who is also dying of AIDS, while Jarman is the openly gay director of Jubilee, Charleson’s first film. With Thompson, he is gentle and loving, especially when Georgie is near the end of his life. Initially, when we first see them together in London, there’s already a spark of chemistry; when they meet again at the hospital, the mood is decidedly more somber, but the connection between the two actors is palpable. With Dawson, whose character pushes for Charleson to come out of the closet, the relationship is more fraught. But rather than playing it as purely antagonistic, Scott leans into the characters’ bond.

Where Scott truly shines his brightest, though, is when Charleson is on stage as Hamlet. It’s a veritable Russian nesting doll of a performance: Not only is Scott playing Charleson, but he’s playing Charleson while he’s at his sickest, while also playing the prince of Denmark. His impassioned monologues, particularly Hamlet’s “To be, or not to be” speech, are among the most effective of the entire film. It’s impossible not to be moved by Charleson giving his all to a role that he’s dreamed of playing, and Scott’s portrayal is so seamless that you might even forget that you’re not watching the real Charleson himself on the National Theater stage.

‘Elsinore’ Stumbles Too Far Into Melodrama in the Third Act

Image via Photagonist

Where Elsinore stumbles is in both its tone and its final act. Tonally, the film is dour. Obviously, any movie about AIDS is not necessarily going to be the cheeriest, but Elsinore is so desperately sad at times that it can feel defeating to watch. While the consistency of the tone means that the film hews close to its themes, Stone pushes everything up to 11 by the third act, culminating in a final montage that feels like borderline emotional manipulation.

This is made all the worse by Stefan Gregory‘s sweeping score, which enhances how heartbreaking these moments are. By no means is Gregory’s score bad, but it exaggerates the problem of Stone not necessarily sticking to the same level of nuance that his leading man does. One notable example is the film’s inclusion of a young man named Nicholas (Joe Locke), another AIDS patient we meet at the hospital, which feels almost painfully heavy-handed. Charleson inspires Nicholas to pursue theater when he feels his most hopeless, but in a film already jam-packed with remarkable moments that are based in reality, this inclusion feels entirely fabricated to make the audience feel even sadder than they already do.

Ultimately, Elsinore is a strong film, one that is quite literally the definition of a tearjerker. With any other lead actor, the prestige of the film might falter. Performances from Colman, Piper, Flynn, and Thompson are notable, but Scott is what makes the film stand out from the crowd. Highlighting an unforgettable story, Stone’s Elsinore is well worth its 111-minute runtime, but for god’s sake, bring more than just one pack of tissues to the theater.

Pros & Cons

• Andrew Scott’s performance as Ian Charleson is damn near perfection.
• Scott’s chemistry specifically with Coleman, Piper, Flynn, Thompson, and Dawson gives the film more buoyancy.

• Stone’s third act struggles the most, leaning too far into melodrama and tear-jerker moments to match the subtlty of the first two parts.

Singer and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Kandi Burruss confirmed that she’d filed for divorce from producer Todd Tucker in November 2025. Now, months later, following the divorce being finalized, the “Don’t Bring Your Man To Atlanta” filmmaker is opening up about the split, alluding to him having considered suicide at one point.

Todd Tucker Opens Up About His Divorce From Kandi Burruss

Page Six interviewed Tucker in September 2026, featuring the former “RHOA” crew member promoting his upcoming projects, including his movie, “Don’t Bring Your Man To Atlanta,” and new reality project, “Till Divorce Do Us Part.”

During the conversation, he was asked how he handled the difficult moments of his divorce from Burruss. Tucker responded, “I’m gonna be honest, when we separated, I stayed in the guesthouse, which is just me in this big house by myself. My kids and the family are next door, and it was a lot of alone time.”

After that, Tucker said he lacked support during the divorce. According to him, “It was a lot of time in my head, thinking, trying to figure out, ‘What did I just do? What just happened? Did I lose my family?’ So I’m gonna be honest, I had nobody really to lean on.”

After that, he reiterated a moment from the trailer for his reality project, “I looked at my gun. I was like, but then I snapped out of it.”

In discussing what he realized he had to live for despite feeling alone, Tucker recalled, “I was like, ‘No, you have a family. You have kids that you have to see through.’” He added, “It was a lot of dark times.”

Todd Says His Life Has Improved Since Reaching A Low Point

Tucker continued his Page Six interview by discussing how much his life has changed since he felt isolated after his divorce from Burruss. He stated, “But since then, I’ve been going to church.”

After that, the 53-year-old discussed his plans to improve his mental health and other areas of his life, including fatherhood. According to him, “I’m about to find me a therapist and just take this journey of rebuilding myself, getting myself where I wanna be and being the best dad and the best co-parent and moving forward.”

Todd Also Shared Thoughts On Mama Joyce

After that, Tucker was asked about his ex-mother-in-law, Mama Joyce, who openly criticized him on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” both before and during his marriage to Burruss. Specifically, the reporter asked how it felt to not have her directly involved in his life.

The dad of three responded, “I think it’s a weight lifted off my shoulders.” He then reflected, saying, “It was like I was trying to prove myself to somebody who didn’t like me, and I never stopped.” From there, he shared that despite their contentious relationship, he taught his children to respect their grandmother, adding, “I still cared.”

He continued, “Even though she didn’t like me, you know, at the end of the day I feel like it’s a weight lifted off my shoulders. That’s still my kids’ grandma, and I want them to still have a great relationship.”

The Father Of Three Previously Reflected On His Divorce From Kandi

Tucker appeared on radio station V-103’s “Big Tigger Morning Show” in September 2026. Early in the interview, the hosts asked for an update on how he’d coped with his divorce from Burruss following their 11-year marriage.

He said, “I’m not whole. I went from being at home with my family every day. The dog, the kids, the nanny, the wife, and now I’m by myself, pretty much.” After that, he discussed masking his loneliness with “going out” and “drinking.”

He then said, “I don’t think people understand, like, divorce; I lost my person.” After saying that the reason for the split from Burruss didn’t matter, Tucker added, “I still lost my person, and I lost my family as I knew it.”

Kandi Burruss Has Responded To Todd Tucker’s Threesome Claims

The trailer for Tucker’s reality project, “Till Divorce Do Us Part,” features him alongside other men, some of whom appeared on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” as he discusses his split from Burruss. In one section, he stated that they had threesomes throughout their marriage.

This led Burruss to issue a statement to PEOPLE in which she accused her ex of being a clout chaser. She said, “A man who has already hurt me to my core is furthering the damage by choosing to sensationalize our sex life to stretch his five minutes of fame.”

The statement continued, “What consensually happens between a husband and wife in the privacy of their marriage is exactly that, private. His current behavior has only confirmed that I did the right thing by getting divorced. I Do, I Did, I’m Done!”

During his Page Six interview, Tucker was asked about Burruss’ statement, with the reporter referring to the threesome claims as their “private marital sex life.” He interjected during the question, saying, “Did we have a private marital sex life?” For context, Tucker is referring to Burruss previously being open about their sex life on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and in various interviews.

He continued, “And this is not even from me. Like, you’ve heard it from her. So, how private is it? Even when she first started saying that we had done threesomes, she didn’t consult with me. She just… and that’s what she does.”

Rita Wilson is showing off her surprising body ink.

On Saturday, September 19, the actress and singer shared a topless photo via Instagram, revealing a large cross tattooed on her back.

The artwork resembles her son Chet Hanks’ own tattoo of a cross emblazoned across his back.

“STRANGER WITH AGE? Who? Me? I’m lovin’ it! Who else is stranger with age? STRANGER WITH AGE song is out everywhere,” Wilson, 69, captioned the post, referring to her new single.

Wilson shares sons Chet, 36, and Truman, 30, with husband Tom Hanks. (Hanks is also dad to actor Colin, 48, and writer Elizabeth, 44, from his first marriage to late ex-wife Samantha Lewes.)

Wilson and Hanks got married in 1988 and have been going strong ever since.

Earlier this year, Wilson recalled her 2015 battle with breast cancer and the two things she asked her husband in the event that she didn’t survive.

“I said to Tom, I’m like, ‘OK, if something happens and I go first, I just have two requests,’” the actress said during the Sound of a Woman: Rita Wilson in Conversation with Demi Moore event at New York City’s 92nd Street Y in April.

Wilson said her first request for the Oscar winner was that he “should be sad for a very, very long time.”

“The second one was, throw me a party,” she shared. “I want it to be a celebration of life. I want it to be about people telling stories and joy and remembering me in that way. And I think people, a lot of people want that, you know? I think there’s room for that.”

Rita Wilson was surprised to learn that her late father, Allan Wilson, had a second life away from her family. “I did this English show, Who Do You Think You Are?, and usually in those genealogy shows, they go back many, many generations,” Rita, 69, said on the Wednesday, April 22, episode of the “How […]

The Jingle All the Way actress celebrated 10 years of being cancer-free in March 2025.

“I am so deeply grateful,” she said in an Instagram video at the time. “I’m so thankful to my doctors. To my friends, to my family. The gratitude is overwhelming. Didn’t always feel this way. And you know that, anybody who’s going through [it, or] who’s survived knows that it’s an up and down, like, hamster wheel. But then you get to this point.”

Wilson first shared her breast cancer diagnosis in April 2015.

“Last week, with my husband by my side, and with the love and support of family and friends, I underwent a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction for breast cancer after a diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma,” Wilson said in a statement to Us at the time. “I am recovering and most importantly, expected to make a full recovery. Why? Because I caught this early, have excellent doctors and because I got a second opinion.”

Kid Rock was reportedly set to appear at a political event with a history of cancellations, but his representative quickly swooped in for damage control.

The singer was added to MAGA-inspired Patriot’s Day Freedom Fest days before organizers called it off. The Kentucky event was promoted as a major pro-Trump gathering featuring several conservative personalities. The poor ticket sales ultimately forced organizer Eric Deters to cancel the festival.

Kid Rock was among the names attached to the MAGA-inspired event alongside Dog the Bounty Hunter and Joe Concha. The singer’s representative now says the cancellation had little to do with him and that he had no other connection to the festival.

Kid Rock’s Rep Insists He Had ‘No Other Ties To The Event‘

5

Patriot’s Day Freedom Fest was scheduled to take place in Kentucky on Saturday. The event was expected to begin at 4 p.m. and end at 7 p.m. with a fireworks show.

Deters had promoted the gathering as the “best MAGA event” while attempting to attract supporters. General admission and parking were supposed to remain free for attendees.

The lineup included Kid Rock, Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman and Fox News personality Joe Concha. Other names on the poster included Kentucky Republican congressional candidate Ed Gallrein, Rep. James Comer and Jackie Kallen.

Kid Rock was reportedly added only five days before the cancellation and was booked to speak rather than perform. His representative also told the outlet that he had “no other ties to the event,” creating clear distance between the singer and the failed festival.

Deters announced the cancellation in a since-deleted Facebook video according to Newsweek and The Cincinnati Enquirer. He said only six people had purchased the $1,000 VIP tickets he hoped would fund the event.

Deters also said he would “never ever, ever, ever, ever” hold the event again. Entertainment Weekly reported that Deters rejected the idea that Kid Rock caused the cancellation. He said the cancellation “had absolutely nothing to do” with the singer.

The MAGA-Inspired Event Has A History Of Cancellations Before This Year’s Poor Ticket Sales

5

Deters had planned to finance the event through VIP ticket sales. He hoped roughly 100 people from his network would purchase $1,000 VIP packages. Instead, only six VIP tickets had reportedly been sold when he checked the numbers. 

IBTimes reported that the 2026 cancellation marked the third time Deters had scrapped the festival since 2023. The outlet also noted that supporters had previously paid $5,000 for VIP tickets when Deters promised Donald Trump would attend a past edition.

The festival’s problems did not begin with the 2026 edition. Deters first canceled the 2023 event after promoting Trump as its expected headliner. He initially said Trump could no longer attend before rescheduling the gathering twelve days later.

The event was then canceled again on September 1, leaving supporters without the festival that year. He later revived the event after speakers and members of the public asked him to continue.

In 2024, the festival returned for three days, featuring a music night, speeches, and a church service. The festival itself began at the Morning View farm in 2021.

It was reported that Deters said around 8,000 people attended in 2022, while other prominent names who had appeared there included Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Candace Owens.

Kid Rock Previously Faced Questions Over Another Conservative Event

5

Earlier in 2026, Turning Point USA organized an alternative halftime show featuring the singer as its main attraction. The show was presented as an alternative to the official Super Bowl halftime performance. Afterward, some viewers accused Kid Rock of lip-syncing because the performance had reportedly been pre-taped.

Kid Rock addressed those accusations during an appearance on Fox News “The Ingraham Angle.” He acknowledged that the show had been pre-taped but denied intentionally lip-syncing. He explained that his DJ was not properly highlighted.

He also said he was moving around while performing and breathing through his vocals. The Blast shared that Kid Rock confirmed the show had been pre-taped but described the issue as a syncing problem.

“It was very difficult,” he said, while explaining that he had noticed the problem when he saw an early version of the performance. The alternative show reportedly attracted around five million concurrent viewers shortly after 8 p.m. EST. Other performers included Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert and Gabby Barrett.

The Music Star Has A Positive Friendship With The President

5

Kid Rock has also continued to speak publicly about his relationship with Donald Trump. The singer has described their friendship as longstanding and has spoken positively about having direct conversations with the president. Their relationship dates back to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Kid Rock has also appeared at Trump-related events and publicly supported the president. In a 2026 interview, however, Kid Rock gave a blunt description of Trump’s second administration. He called it “the greatest sh-t show on Earth” while still describing his friendship with Trump as something he enjoyed.

The singer said it was “f-cking awesome” having a friend in such a powerful position. He described their conversations as lighthearted and said he enjoyed having a “front-row seat” to the administration.

The Blast revealed that Kid Rock also defended Trump against critics who question his priorities. The singer said he believes Trump’s concern is “for this country, period,” and argued that leaders should put their countries first.

The interview also came after speculation that the pair had grown apart. Those rumors gained attention after Kid Rock did not publicly wish Trump a happy birthday in 2026.

Kid Rock Has Denied Any Rift With Donald Trump

5

The birthday speculation followed a public appearance where Kid Rock was present for Trump’s 80th birthday celebration. However, the singer was not seen sitting near Trump at the UFC Freedom 250 event. Kid Rock also did not perform the national anthem at the celebration.

That role instead went to country singer Zac Brown. Despite those details, Kid Rock’s comments suggested that he did not view his friendship with Trump as damaged. 

The singer continued speaking positively about their relationship during his July interview. Trump has also publicly praised Kid Rock on several occasions. During his 2024 Republican National Convention acceptance speech, Trump described the musician as a friend and called him “amazing.”

The president also praised Kid Rock when the singer introduced him at the National Guard Association’s 146th General Conference. He called the Detroit rocker “a great guy and a talented one.” 

The president has even referred to Kid Rock as “Bob.” He used the nickname while congratulating him on the opening of his Nashville restaurant, which Trump described as a “very friendly MAGA establishment.”

Kid Rock responded by thanking Trump and telling him to keep “kickin’ -ss for America.” Against that backdrop, his representative’s latest statement makes his limited involvement in the canceled Freedom Fest especially clear.

Kid Rock’s representatives’ statement has drawn a firm line between him and the canceled Freedom Fest.

Tom Cruise has spent decades as one of Hollywood’s most recognizable movie stars, but Interview with the Vampire remains one of those rare occasions when the actor seems to completely disappear beneath someone else’s skin. His Lestat is charming, funny, cruel, and frequently terrifying, which made the backlash to his casting look rather silly once audiences actually saw the finished film. Director Neil Jordan, however, wasn’t immediately convinced either.

Speaking exclusively with Collider, Jordan recalled being asked by the studio to meet Cruise after numerous actors had been discussed for Lestat. Jordan already admired Cruise’s work, but it was meeting him away from the screen that convinced him there was something the actor could tap into for Lestat. Speaking during a Collider Rewind interview for the film’s 4K restoration, Jordan said:

“The studio asked me to meet Tom. I always loved him as an actor. I always liked him as an actor, and there were all sorts of names being mentioned for this. I thought, ‘Tom Cruise? Oh my God. Okay, fine.’ So I drove out to meet Tom, who lived in Brentwood at the time or something like that. Utterly charming guy. But there’s something going on there. Do you understand what I mean? There’s something behind that grin. There’s something behind the beautiful physique, and I don’t know what it is.”

Jordan initially connected Cruise’s enormous fame with Lestat’s existence in the shadows. By their second meeting, however, the director had spotted something else underneath Cruise’s famous charm. “At the time, he was the biggest star in the world, so he had to keep himself in the shadows a bit,” explained Jordan. “He didn’t have to protect himself from sunlight, but he had to protect himself from the glare of others, let’s put it that way. There was that aspect of being such a big star that struck me as suiting the part. I met him once, and we talked a bit, and then I met him a second time. That second time, I could see this other thing underneath the charm. It was intriguing and slightly terrifying, too. I thought, ‘Okay, let’s go for this. Let’s see what happens if I cast Tom as Lestat.’ And he gave a great, great performance.”

Neil Jordan Says Tom Cruise Gives Everything to a Performance

Jordan believes part of what makes Cruise such an interesting performer is his willingness to put enormous trust in his directors. He pointed toward Cruise’s work with Paul Thomas Anderson on Magnolia as an example of what can happen when the actor is given the opportunity to explore a completely different side of himself. “I think he’s a very interesting actor because I think he puts an enormous amount of trust in the director. I can see why the work he did with Paul Thomas Anderson, how he would have loved playing that role,” said Jordan.

“I think he’s the kind of actor who sees there are multiple possibilities of yourself and seems to love different bits, which is why I’m really interested to see what he does in Digger,” the director told Collider. “It’s why I loved what he did in that strange movie with Robert Downey Jr. where he played a version of Harvey Weinstein [Tropic Thunder]. I don’t know what the hell he was playing there, but I went, ‘Okay.’” Whatever the role, Jordan says there’s one thing nobody can accuse Cruise of doing: phoning it in. “I don’t think Tom Cruise would ever do anything without throwing himself into it. That’s the one thing you can say about him. He’s 100%, 110% there.”

Best known for her breathtaking role as Velma Kelly in the 2002 true-crime musical Chicago, Catherine Zeta-Jones is still, without question, one of Hollywood’s most important actresses. The late ’90s and early 2000s were a great time for fans of Zeta-Jones, as she starred in massive hits like The Mask of Zorro (co-starring Antonio Banderas), Entrapment (co-starring Sean Connery), and even Traffic (co-starring Michael Douglas and Benicio del Toro). Zeta-Jones never picked up another Oscar nomination following her career-defining performance in Chicago, but she’s been steadily starring in other movies and TV shows in the last few years despite the lack of awards recognition. She even stars as Morticia in one of the biggest Netflix shows of all time, Wednesday, which features Jenna Ortega as the titular character, Wednesday Addams.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is always on the lookout for her next big streaming hit, and she’s found another starring role in a show that could quietly be one of the most impressive of the entire year. Zeta-Jones will star opposite Daniel Ings, Bill Paterson, and Ron Perlman in the new action thriller series, Kill Jackie, which is set to premiere on October 2. Today, Collider is thrilled to bring you an exclusive sneak peek at what’s to come. In addition to starring in the leading role, Zeta-Jones also serves as an executive producer on the show, which is based on the novel The Price You Pay by Nick Harkaway. The show was written and created for TV by Conor Keane and Tom Butterworth, and additional cast members include Sidse Babett Knudsen, Óscar Jaenada, Hattie Hook, Darci Shaw, Raff Law, Enzo Cilenti, Christine Adams, Tadashi Ito, and more.

What Is ‘Kill Jackie’ About?

AMC+ has released an official synopsis for Kill Jackie, which reads as follows: “Kill Jackie follows Jackie Price (Zeta-Jones), who has spent the last twenty years living a quiet, luxurious existence selling fine art while remaining anonymous after escaping a criminal past. Her carefully constructed world is shattered when she discovers that The Seven Demons, a squad of ruthless assassins, have been hired to kill her. Jackie will need to unleash her old instincts and execute a dangerous plan to take down the Demons.” The show is set to be a must-watch for fans of Killing Eve and John Wick. AMC+ is also home to some of the most popular TV shows in the world, including The Walking Dead, The Vampire Lestat, and The Terror: Devil in Silver, which was produced by Ridley Scott.

Inde Navarrette is already thinking about one of the most recognizable elements of Rogue as she prepares to join Marvel’s X-Men: her unmistakable Southern accent.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Navarrette revealed that her own upbringing in Texas will provide some inspiration for her portrayal of Rogue. The actress spent a significant portion of her childhood in Corpus Christi and remembers the Southern women she grew up around as an influence on how she is approaching the character.

“I grew up in Texas for a good majority of my life,” Navarrette said. “So honestly, those Southern women are really my favorite. Corpus Christi is the city specifically.”

However, Navarrette knows that a Texas accent isn’t necessarily Rogue’s accent.

In Marvel Comics, Rogue, also known as Anna Marie, comes from Mississippi, and Navarrette wants to spend time there before stepping into the role.

“But specifically, Mississippi, Rogue is from Mississippi,” Navarrette explained. “So, I’m really just — I want to go there. I really want to do her justice.”

Rogue’s Southern Voice Is Part of the Character

Getting Rogue’s voice right could be particularly important for longtime X-Men fans.

Rogue’s Southern drawl has become one of the character’s defining traits, especially through Lenore Zann’s performance in X-Men: The Animated Series and, more recently, X-Men ’97. Navarrette’s comments suggest Marvel’s new live-action interpretation won’t abandon that aspect of the character.

Navarrette was officially announced as Rogue during D23 in August. She joins a growing X-Men ensemble that includes Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Maya Boyd as Storm, Christopher Abbott as Professor Charles Xavier, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister. Asa Germann was also recently added as Angel.

Thunderbolts filmmaker Jake Schreier is directing Marvel’s new take on the mutant team.

While audiences will have to wait to hear exactly what Navarrette’s Rogue sounds like, the actress appears determined to make the character’s Mississippi roots part of her performance rather than simply adopting a generic Southern drawl.

Marvel’s X-Men is currently scheduled to hit theaters May 5, 2028.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ fourth and penultimate season is warping to its conclusion. It’s going to conclude with a bang in “Tomorrow’s Enterprise,” a season finale that sees the USS Enterprise of the present and future in collision. The episode will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ on Thursday, September 24, but before that stardate, Collider is proud to present an exclusive sneak preview clip from the episode, as we see the future Enterprise crew begin to take shape.

Strange New Worlds is a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series, the Trek show that begat them all. It features the familiar Enterprise, and some familiar crew members, like Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), Spock (Ethan Peck), Christine Chapel (Jess Bush), and Montgomery “Scotty” Scott (Martin Quinn), but under the command of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), whose ultimate destiny is well-known to Trek fans, and to Pike himself. As the series goes on, the crew who’ll serve under James Kirk (Paul Wesley) are starting to come into focus.

That’s showcased in our exclusive sneak peek of the finale, which is apparently set in the show’s future. Kirk now commands the ship, stalking the bridge with a William Shatner-ian ease as he discusses the results of last week’s poker game with Spock, Scotty, and Uhura; the latter is now sporting a hairstyle very similar to that worn by Nichelle Nichols when she originated the role. Also present is Dr. Phil Boyce (Brian Markinson), who eagle-eyed Trek fans will recognize from a key moment in the franchise’s history. The ship is about to conduct an experiment that will require some fancy flying, and Kirk’s called in someone he calls “the best pilot in Starfleet.” That raises two questions: is the show about to introduce another Trek legacy character? And if so, what happened to the Enterprise‘s previous ace pilot, Erica Ortegas (Melissa Navia)? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

Who Is Dr. Phil Boyce?

Dr. Phil Boyce was played by John Hoyt (Spartacus) in “The Cage,” the original pilot for Star Trek, which takes place before the events of Strange New Worlds. “The Cage” was rejected by the network, and Boyce was replaced by Dr. Mark Piper (Paul Fix, The Rifleman) in the show’s second pilot, and then by the familiar Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy (DeForest Kelley) for the rest of the series. However, Boyce did appear in the two-part episode “The Menagerie,” which was made by combining “The Cage” with new footage. Sixty years later, Boyce returned on the Strange New Worlds episode “Off-Hour,” having transferred back to the Enterprise from his previous posting, the USS Sunita.

“Tomorrow’s Enterprise,” the Season 4 finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, premieres on Paramount+ tomorrow, September 24. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
