Victoria Woods Throws Shade At Her Dad’s Courtside Pop-Out
GloRilla turned her pop out at the Toronto Raptors vs. Memphis Grizzlies game on Friday, April 3 into a whole family affair. The raptress brought her dad courtside to watch her man Brandon Ingram hoop with the Raptors. As soon as the photos hit the net, Victoria Woods jumped in on Facebook with a lil’ message. She made it clear everything isn’t what it seems, writing, “Bruh lights was just turned off a couple days ago but ok,” alongside a green check emoji. As of right now their father’s living situation is unclear and neither Glo or Edwin Sr. have reacted to Victoria’s claims.
Fans Quickly Reacted To Victoria’s Claims
After The Shade Room posted Victoria’s reaction to the photo of Glo and their dad, fans flooded the comment section. Some asked her why she didn’t step up to assist, while others questioned why there’s so much pressure on Glo to cough up cash.

Prior To The Shade Glo Was Busy Clockin’ Pregnancy Rumors
Despite her sister throwing shade, GloRilla was busy enjoying some family time and shutting down pregnancy rumors. Yes Roomies, you read that right! A fan shared a Snapchat clip of Glo chilling courtside with her pops and a friend, once she peeped that she was being recorded by stadium cameras she started rubbing on her belly and mouthing “Who?” before cracking up. Fans have been speculating for a minute that Glo had a mini-me on the way due to recent videos she shared on social media. But she’s making it real clear that there’s no bump or baby on board!

Why Taylor Swift Allegedly Feels ‘Relief’ After Blake Lively’s Loss
Taylor Swift allegedly feels “relieved” after Blake Lively‘s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni suffered a major setback this week.
The chart-topping pop star is preparing for her wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce and seemingly doesn’t want the case to drag on until her big day.
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s relationship has been strained since the singer got dragged into the actress’s legal battle against Justin Baldoni, with several of their text messages being exposed.
Why Taylor Swift Feels ‘Relieved’ After Blake Lively’s Legal Loss

Sources close to Swift are claiming that the “Blank Space” singer is breathing a tentative sigh of relief after Lively suffered a major setback in her long-running legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
The pair used to be best pals but seemingly fell out after Swift was named in Lively’s ongoing legal battle with her “It Ends With Us” costar, with their private conversation also revealing that the singer allegedly referred to Baldoni as a “b-tch.”
Now that a federal judge has dismissed 10 of Lively’s 13 claims against Baldoni, sources told Rob Shuter’s #ShutterScoop that Swift sees it as a welcome development and secretly hopes it’s the beginning of the end.
“It’s a huge relief,” an insider told the journalist. “This case just got dramatically weaker.”
The Singer Wants The Case ‘Wrapped Up Before Her Summer Wedding’

Reports are rife suggesting Lively doesn’t plan to back down despite the loss and wants her day in court.
After the judge dismissed most of her claims, she’s left with just three allegations to prove, namely, breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting in retaliation, which will all proceed to a civil trial in New York on 18 May.
However, reports suggest Swift wonders why she’s not looking to settle and thinks the case shouldn’t have been dragged on for this long.
“No one understands why Blake isn’t trying to settle,” the source said. “From the outside, it looks like she’s already lost.”
The insider went further to explain that the Grammy winner doesn’t want to have anything to do with the case as her summer wedding to Kansas City Chiefs star, Travis Kelce, draws near.
“She wants this wrapped up before her summer wedding,” they shared. “The timing couldn’t be worse.”
Taylor Swift’s Messages With Blake Lively Were Unsealed

Back in January, Swift’s private texts with Lively were unsealed, seemingly confirming Baldoni’s claims that the actress tried to use her celebrity power and contacts to pressure him into accepting the changes she made to the “It Ends With Us” script.
In one text exchange, Lively asked the “Bad Blood” singer to endorse a script she came up with for the film “even without having read it,” Baldoni’s legal team claimed, per People Magazine. Swift then allegedly replied, “I’ll do anything for you !!”
However, Lively’s team said the text lacked context and pointed to her deposition in which the actress said she “sent Taylor the script on her way to my apartment because Justin was still there, and I asked her to read them. I told her she didn’t have to, I didn’t want her to feel pressured to do that, but I hoped that she would.”
The Former Pals Berated Justin Baldoni In A Text Exchange, Branding The Director A ‘Clown’

In another text exchange that was exposed, Lively referred to Baldoni as a “clown” and a “doofus,” while Swift allegedly called him a “b-tch.”
The insider who spoke to Shuter explained that things have now changed between the former close pals, as the fallout has been real.
“Taylor has nothing to do with this. She was supporting a friend — that’s it,” the insider said. “This has affected people around Blake, and some feel she didn’t fully consider that.”
“There’s a sense this didn’t need to go this far,” they added. “That ego took over.”
Taylor Swift Likely Won’t Invite Blake Lively To Her Wedding

Meanwhile, Swift is reportedly lurking and observing how things go from here as she doesn’t want to be involved in the case again, at least not until things are completely over.
A source told Shuter that she’s “watching everything” closely because “the last thing she wants is her name or her texts dragged into this again.”
Insiders have previously called attention to the sour state of their relationship after it was revealed that the “Another Simple Favor” actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, won’t be invited to Swift’s summer wedding to Kelce.
“They are not invited. Period,” a source claimed. “Taylor wants a drama-free day, and she no longer trusts Blake or Ryan.”
Another insider shared at the time that Swift concluded a long time ago on not inviting the couple, adding that she felt “exposed and violated.”
“There’s been an emotional gap for a long time,” the source added. “Rebuilding trust doesn’t feel possible right now.”

Ashley Iaconetti Has ‘No Shame’ Putting Her Kids on Leashes
Ashley Iaconetti has a tried-and-true method to conquering solo mom outings with two kids — no matter what the critics say.
“Jared [Haibon] went to visit a friend in the hospital in Boston today,” Iaconetti, 38, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, April 4, referring to her husband. “I thought, ‘Let me take the kids to the Boston aquarium while he’s there.’ I do not recommend doing this 😂.”
Iaconetti and Haibon, 37, have been married since 2019 and share sons Dawson, 4, and Hayden, 20 months. During Saturday’s aquarium visit, Iaconetti put Hayden on a so-called leash, connected to her wrist. She also put an AirTag on Dawson in case she needed to track his whereabouts via her smartphone if he ran out of eyesight.
“I have no shame in my leash game,” she wrote, adding a “Safety Over Shame” hashtag.
Iaconetti also took her boys to Chuck E. Cheese during Haibon’s hospital visit.
“Pro tip of parents: Chuck E. Cheese. It is still the best,” she added in a follow-up Saturday post. “Pizza, wings, games, little rides, trampolines and play zone all in one. Unlike a lot of play zones, everything is monitored and it’s small enough to keep your eyes on your kids without having to crawl in tubes yourself.”
She continued, “The silver membership we have is $12 a month and, basically, gives you unlimited games every time you go, and you can go as much as you want.”

While Iaconetti is embracing mom life, she’s also stepping back into the limelight. The Bachelor Nation alum is among the stars on Bravo’s new series The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. (Iaconetti moved to Rhode Island, Haibon’s home state, after they said “I do.”)
“Ashley probably isn’t the first person you think of when thinking of a ‘Housewife.’ However, when I think about it, I actually think she is,” Haibon wrote via Instagram on Thursday, April 2, celebrating his wife’s new series. “Ashley is hardworking, beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful, a supportive wife and the most loving mother any child can ask for. I see her put her family first every single day.”
He added at the time, “She might not be confrontational, she might not flip tables but she is strong, diligent and wears her heart on her sleeve. Ashley I is a badass, and when I think of this franchise, I think of badass women. Because of this, I think Ashley will fit right in.”
RHORI premiered on Thursday, chronicling Iaconetti’s integration into the Ocean State’s social scene alongside fellow cast members Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson and Jo-Ellen Tiberi.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.

7 Upcoming Horror Shows You Cannot Miss
Horror TV is definitely having a moment. Sadly, though, between endless reboots and spin-offs, it’s getting harder to tell which projects are actually worth paying attention to and which ones are just riding the wave. Unfortunately, even some of the more original concepts fail to stick the landing because they still rely on the same old tropes that viewers have honestly grown tired of at this point.
Thankfully, though, this year’s horror lineup is surprisingly stacked with a good mix of reimaginings and unique stories that feel genuinely exciting. To cut through the noise, though, here is a list of upcoming horror shows that just cannot be missed.
7
‘Carrie’
October 2026
Stephen King’s 1974 novel Carrie has seen several adaptations over the years. However, Mike Flanagan’s upcoming take on it definitely justifies revisiting the story once again. Flanagan is the undisputed king of TV horror with shows like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass under his belt. That makes him the perfect director to reimagine Carrie with a character-driven, in-depth approach that focuses on the emotion beneath the horror. The series will follow Summer H. Howell as Carrie White, a socially isolated teenager raised by her extremely religious and abusive mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). However, her life takes a turn when she develops terrifying telekinetic powers right when she is in the middle of an awful bullying scandal.
Flagan’s version of Carrie is expected to portray Carrie’s journey as a coming-of-age tragedy that’s only heightened by the supernatural horror elements of the story. The horror here won’t just come from what Carrie can do, but also what has been done to her. The series is currently slated to premiere in October 2026, right in time for spooky season. At a time when audiences are frankly getting a little tired of reboots, Carrie has a real chance of changing the game by giving the story a new sense of depth and nuance.

Untitled ‘The Conjuring’ Series
2026
The Conjuring universe has already proven itself as one of the most successful horror franchises of all time, so it was only a matter of time before it moved to TV. An untitled The Conjuring series is now in development at HBO Max and is set to expand the world established in the films. The show is a continuation of the story rather than a reboot or retelling, which immediately gives the audience a reason to tune in. Details about the plot are still under wraps, but Nancy Won is on board as showrunner while Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires serve as writers.
This shift in format could be exactly what the horror franchise needs at the moment. The nine films have largely thrived on contained cases and traditional horror storytelling featuring plot twists and jump scares. However, a series allows for a deeper dive into the Warrens’ legacy or perhaps what happens to it after they choose to retire in The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025). The series is expected to be released in 2026, but an exact date has not been announced yet.

‘Widow’s Bay’
April 29, 2026
Apple TV has been delivering some of the most unique shows on streaming in recent years, and Widow’s Bay will be no exception. The horror-comedy series, created by Katie Dippold and directed by Hiro Murai, is set in a remote New England town that might be cursed. The story follows Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys), a skeptic determined to revive the struggling town, even as the locals insist something is deeply wrong. This tension between disbelief and a sense of creeping dread makes the show’s premise so interesting.
Widow’s Peak will lean into familiar small-town horror territory and is already being compared to Twin Peaks-style storytelling, where the tone is constantly shifting. The upcoming series premieres on April 29, 2026, and will feature 10 episodes where the central mystery will slowly unravel. It might not be the most mainstream horror title on the slate, but it’s definitely one to watch out for.
4
‘Crystal Lake’
2026
Crystal Lake is another upcoming series that will revive a beloved horror franchise. The horror show will serve as a prequel to the original 1980 Friday the 13th and shift the focus away from the violence and gore to the actual origin of Pamela Vorhees herself. Linda Cardellini headlines Crystal Lake as Pamela, a grieving mother who descends into absolute madness after her son, Jason, drowned at Camp Crystal Lake after being bullied by the other campers. Longtime fans of the franchise already know that Pamela blames the tragedy on the camp counselors who were supposed to be watching him. However, the series will explore the events leading up to young Jason (Callum Vinson)’s death while grounding the story in the very specific time and mindset of the ‘70s.
There’s no denying that the premise of this is rooted in familiar territory, but it will take a far more ambitious creative direction. Crystal Lake has been pitched as a paranoid thriller that will unpack Pamela’s grief and paranoia on a whole new level. The show will feature its fair share of slasher moments, but the context behind them is what will give them their true weight. Crystal Lake has been through quite a few issues behind-the-scenes with the original showrunner, Bryan Fuller, exiting due to creative differences. However, the series is now helmed by Brad Caleb Kane, whose approach leans heavily into character and atmosphere. An official premiere date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the prequel series is expected to arrive sometime in 2026.
3
‘Hostel’
Late 2026
The Hostel franchise has been met with mixed reception due to its “torture horror” roots. The original movie, released in 2005, follows a group of backpackers who are lured into a nightmarish underground network where wealthy elites pay to torture unsuspecting tourists. The film’s graphic violence is definitely still controversial, but it was a pop-culture-defining moment for early 2000s horror. The upcoming Peacock series marks a revival of Eli Roth’s franchise and is expected to take a present-day approach to the original concept instead of simply rehashing the films. Paul Giamatti is set to star in a leading role. However, details about the characters and the plot remain under wraps.
The upcoming Hostel series has the potential to expand the lore of the Elite Hunting Club beyond just a single location and focus on the people who run it. The series can still lean into the graphic violence of its predecessors, but it might benefit from taking a more psychological approach with its story. Hostel definitely has the potential to reinvent itself for a new audience if it manages to balance its signature shock value with something more substantial. The show does not have a confirmed release date yet, but it is expected to premiere in late 2026, possibly around Halloween.
2
Untitled Netflix Newfoundland Series
Late 2026
This entry on the list might not have a title, but its premise has all the makings of a horror hit. Netflix’s untitled series based on Newfoundland will be set in a remote coastal town where a mysterious sea creature begins terrorizing the community. The story will follow a tough fisherman, played by Josh Hartnett, who has to fight for his and his family’s survival. The cast also includes Mackenzie Davis and Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton.
This won’t be a typical creature feature, though, because the show is meant to be a character-driven drama about resilience and community. The Newfoundland setting is also of key importance here, since the culture and dialect will also have a huge impact on the story. The series will have a limited, six-episode run and has the potential to balance spectacle with a story that feels intimate. An official release date has not been announced yet, but given that production is already underway, a late 2026 debut might be in the books.

‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ Series
TBA
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) has left a mark on the horror genre like no other. Instead of relying on supernatural scares, the film’s sense of fear is grounded in something disturbingly real, and that makes all the difference. A24 is leaning into that same identity with a new TV series that’s currently in development. The upcoming show promises to dig deeper into Leatherface and his cannibalistic family’s origins. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre TV adaptation is not a remake, but instead, is being positioned as a long-form exploration of the franchise’s mythology.
JT Mollner has joined the project as writer and director, while Roy Lee and Glen Powell serve as producers alongside Kim Henkel, who co-created the original film. What makes the series so exciting is how The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has always hinted at a larger, more disturbing world beyond the immediate violence the audience sees. The series will have room to unpack all of that, explore the dynamics of the family and the environment that shaped them. The A24 series doesn’t have an official release window yet.

Taylor Frankie Paul Posts Singing Shower Video With Daughter
Taylor Frankie Paul is seemingly committed to “just keep swimming” alongside her daughter Indy amid her most recent domestic violence allegations and custody dispute.
“Just keep swimming… with some singing,” Paul, 31, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, April 4, alongside a video showing the reality TV star singing in the shower — fully clothed — as her daughter, 8, danced in front of the bathroom mirror.
“My mini with sass,” Paul wrote over the video, which was seemingly taken by her daughter via an iPhone. (Paul also shares Ocean, 5, with her ex-husband Tate Paul, and Ever, 2, with her ex boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.)
While The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star received a fair amount of criticism in the comments section for how she was dancing in front of her daughter, plenty of fans offered her praise and support amid her ongoing legal troubles with Mortensen.
“This is everything. Keep singing, Taylor!” one fan wrote.
“Remember no matter how hard life gets remember you got whatever life throws at you!” another commented. “Be stronger work on yourself and come back on top!!”
“So happy to see you slowly coming back,” another added.
According to a report from the Draper City Police Department in Utah obtained by Us Weekly, authorities opened a domestic assault investigation into the former couple on February 23. Mortensen accused Taylor of “scratching” him and physically assaulting him during the alleged dispute.
Mortensen later claimed in the report that there were “two incidents of physical assault involving ‘grabbing, scratching, shoving, and striking’ at the hands of Taylor. Per the same report, authorities have opened a second investigation, which includes an additional accusation of domestic violence in the presence of a child. Draper PD told People no charges have been filed.
Taylor has denied the allegations, and alleged that Mortensen has been abusive towards her. He has also denied the allegations against him. According to documents obtained by Us on March 20, Mortensen was awarded temporary custody of Ever and a temporary protective order against Taylor amid the domestic violence allegations.
Days later, video of a 2023 domestic dispute between Taylor and Mortensen surfaced, in which Taylor could be seen physically assaulting and throwing chairs at Mortensen in the presence of her daughter. She was subsequently arrested and charged with aggravated assault, two counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, child abuse with injury and criminal mischief.
Taylor pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in exchange for the other charges to be dismissed.
Hours after the video surfaced, ABC announced that Taylor’s The Bachelorette season was canceled ahead of its scheduled March 22 premiere.
“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” a Disney Entertainment spokesperson told Us in a statement at the time.
“Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security,” a rep for Taylor said in a statement to Us, reacting to the decision. “After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm.”
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.

‘Reacher’s Season 4 Return Proves Prime Video Has Massive Plans for the Franchise
2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for the Reacher television franchise, as fans will be treated to both the return of Alan Ritchson‘s titular action hero in his own series as well as the release of the first-ever Reacher spin-off, Neagley, starring Reacher series alum Maria Sten. Additionally, recent comments from Ritchson tease that Prime Video clearly has more in store for the future of its biggest action franchise.
‘Reacher’ Season 4 Will Be Its Best and “Most Gripping,” According to Alan Ritchson
While Reacher Season 4 doesn’t have a release date yet, Ritchson previously confirmed in an interview with Collider that it would be dropping later this year on Prime Video, additionally promising that the show’s upcoming fourth season would be “the best season we’ve had yet.” It’s certainly a bold claim, as the last three seasons have been praised by both critics and viewers.
As if to double down on his earlier comments, Ritchson later revealed his official wrap on post-production of Season 4 in a March 25 Instagram post: “Here we are, in the ADR booth for the very last time for Season 4 of Reacher. There it is; we are dunzos. This thing is gonna be hitting airwaves very soon.” To caption the video itself, the star wrote, “This is, without a doubt, the most gripping season yet. I think we hit our stride. Firing on all cylinders… as it were.” Based on Ritchson’s statements, it looks like Reacher fanatics are in for quite the ride with Season 4.
‘Reacher’ Season 4 Will Have More Action Than Ever
Longtime Reacher viewers are no strangers to the show’s unique brand of action, and it looks like the series is stepping up the action quotient for Season 4. During a November 2025 interview with ScreenRant, Ritchson revealed that Season 4 set a new series record for the volume of action scenes that were filmed.
The star’s comments are a bit surprising given that Reacher Season 4 is based on the book Gone Tomorrow, which is more of a cerebral detective story than an action-thriller. However, during the same interview, Ritchson spoke about anticipating “fight fatigue,” something he and the production team were mindful of for the new season, and added that Season 4’s fight sequences happen “all for good reason,” emphasizing that any stunts are designed with a narrative-driven intent to serve a larger purpose for character and story. In Ritchson’s words:
“You got to be invested in feeling for these characters and the reason for what they’re fighting for, and I think we’ve done a really good job of that.”
Ritchson Is Also Reprising His Role as Jack Reacher in ‘Neagley’
Another big Reacher release for 2026 is the Neagley spin-off, in which Maria Sten will take center stage in the new series that will finally reveal more about one of Reacher’s most dedicated allies — not to mention, Ritchson will once again reprise his role as Jack Reacher. Fans are used to seeing Neagley in a supporting role in the flagship series, but Ritchson’s guest-starring appearance will serve as an inversion of the characters’ usual dynamic, with Neagley now finding herself in the position to investigate the shocking death of a close friend.
Neagley also provides the opportunity for the Reacher franchise to reveal one of its longest mysteries in depicting the titular character’s mysterious backstory. Reacher fans have noticed that Neagley showcases extreme haphephobia, a fear of touching, which is consistent with the character from Lee Child‘s novels. However, as the author explained in a February 2025 interview with The Wrap, he previously shied away from revealing more about Neagley in his books, wanting the character to retain a sense of mystique for readers. That all changes with Neagley, as Reacher showrunner Nick Santora is working on the spin-off with Child’s approval and oversight.
Needless to say, the hype and anticipation are building for both Reacher Season 4 and the series debut of Neagley. Hopefully, Prime Video begins rolling out the release details and marketing campaign soon, offering an even better sense of the bone-crunching, action-packed fun that fans can expect.

Margot Robbie’s 2025 Fantasy Flop Is Quietly Taking Over Streaming Worldwide
Following the global phenomenon that was Barbie in 2023, Margot Robbie was perhaps the most famous movie star in the world. A two-time Academy Award nominee whose filmography includes the likes of I, Tonya, The Wolf of Wall Street, and the most copied modern interpretation of Harley Quinn, it’s incredible to think that Robbie is still just getting started. However, since turning the iconic Barbie doll into her own three years ago, Robbie’s performances haven’t quite found the same success, most recently earning a mixed reception — albeit with a big box office triumph — in Wuthering Heights, the latest adaptation of Emily Brontë’s famous novel.
Before she starred alongside Jacob Elordi in the period drama, Robbie delivered one of the more disappointing efforts in her recent career in the fantasy romantic drama A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Directed by Kogonada of After Yang fame, the film promised a clever trip through memory and trauma with two of the very best actors working today: Robbie and Colin Farrell. The film also featured a stellar supporting cast, including Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass), Lily Rabe (American Horror Story), and Billy Magnussen (Lilo & Stitch).
Sadly, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey was one of the biggest flops of the year, earning just $20 million worldwide against a reported $45 million production budget, with a domestic haul of $6.6 million and a further $13.4 million from overseas markets, well below expectations. However, months later, the film has bounced back and is currently one of the ten most-streamed movies on HBO Max in the world.
Remembering the Icons of Television — Collider TV Quiz
These television artists were posthumously recognized for their work, and the awards they received were testaments to their lasting legacies.
Critics Were Left Frustrated by ‘A Big Bold Beautiful Journey’
Scoring just 37% from critics on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, one of Robbie’s worst scores to date, it’s safe to say that A Big Bold Beautiful Journey frustrated critics. In his review for Collider, Ross Bonaime wrote that the movie “occasionally works, but isn’t entirely as successful as one would hope,” adding, “The screenplay by Reiss is too eccentric and full of empty statements about life that result in the movie not working like it should. If you squint,” Bonaime said, “you can almost see how great this film could’ve been.”
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is streaming on HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

‘Project Hail Mary’s Directors Want To Adapt This Impressive Sci-Fi Book Next After Their 95% RT Hit
Project Hail Mary is an undeniable hit among both critics and the audience, so now, everyone is naturally curious about what else directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have lined up. Up next is Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the latest installment in the trilogy Phil Lord and Christopher Miller helped shape as producers and creative leads, which began with 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse. After that, they may tackle yet another Andy Weir novel: Artemis. They have been connected to this project for a while, and, while the book may not have seen the same success as The Martian or Project Hail Mary itself, it still has the marks of a typical Weir novel; this time, however, instead of Mars or any other alien planet, the whole thing is set on the Moon.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s Adaptation of ‘Artemis’ Was Announced in 2017
Recently speaking to THR, Lord and Miller mentioned having “a backlog of like seven or eight things” they want to do after Beyond the Spider-Verse, so they may end up doing something else entirely instead of Artemis, but that is also the first optimistic update we’ve had on the project in, well, years. With the director duo already attached, the Artemis adaptation was initially announced the same year the novel came out, in 2017.
It was, however, a completely different world — the project was being developed by Fox, for example, before its acquisition by Disney two years later. The Martian had already come out and was a hit, so the spotlight was on Weir and his science-y storytelling; unfortunately, news became scarce over the years. The latest update came in 2018, when current Fallout co-showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet took over screenwriting duties. Then, the industry changed completely, and it seems things were left at that point.
Lord and Miller have suggested that a script exists and have spoken positively about its direction, but it isn’t clear whether that remains Robertson-Dworet’s initial script or if it’s a new treatment. The true challenge was figuring out “how to execute one-sixth gravity,” the duo reveals, since the story is set entirely on the Moon, and low gravity plays an important role. If this were a purely technical issue, then it’s apparently resolved, according to them, suggesting that Artemis remains one of several projects in their backlog that could potentially move forward, depending on scheduling and studio priorities.
‘Artemis’ Tells a Coming-of-Age Heist Story Set Entirely on the Moon
Although it’s just as much of a hard sci-fi story as Weir’s other novels, Artemis follows a completely different approach towards hard sci-fi than the usual scientist who has to “science the s*** out of” everything to survive. Here, the story follows Jasmine “Jazz” Bashara, a more hero-type protagonist who is very different from Mark Watney (Matt Damon) and Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling). She is every bit as brave and resourceful as those two, but her novel is unique compared to theirs.
Jazz lives in Artemis, the first city on the Moon, in the late 2080s, and is still learning how to navigate adult life. We meet her as a small-time smuggler who is at odds with everyone in her life, from her father to her best friend, but she has to reevaluate her position when she is recruited by a Norwegian entrepreneur to sabotage his rival’s mining operation. Desperately needing the money, she accepts, but things quickly take a turn for the worse as she suddenly finds herself the target of a huge crime syndicate.
As always, there’s a lot of science in Artemis, and Weir does an incredible job at world-building. The lunar environment plays a role of its own in the story, affecting everything from the way people move at low gravity to Artemis’ own economy. Tourism is the city’s main asset, but with so many people living there to support the tourist influx, other skills have become invaluable, especially welding and security. Still, Artemis didn’t see the same success as Weir’s other novels, but it’s perfectly suited for a movie.
After ‘Project Hail Mary’s Success, Lord and Miller Are the Perfect People to Helm ‘Artemis’
As great as Artemis is, though, it’s still representative of Weir’s honing his skills as a sci-fi writer, looking to tell more character-driven stories and lay out more complex plots in terms of drama, without leaving science behind. It’s an honest attempt, but Jazz’s story could benefit from a more cinematic vision, especially one as clear as Lord and Miller’s. They excel in telling high-concept stories with no small dose of sharp and accessible comedy, of which Project Hail Mary is but one of numerous proofs.
Jazz is the kind of protagonist that Lord and Miller have tackled countless times: funny, flawed, and morally flexible, while remaining an essentially good individual. We’ve seen that in Spider-Verse‘s Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and Katie Mitchell (Abbi Jacobson) in The Mitchells vs. the Machines, for example, both of which helped cement Lord and Miller as household names in Hollywood. This experience of crafting this kind of chaotic, yet sympathetic protagonist makes them the perfect people to bring Jazz to the big screen, too.
Finally, although Project Hail Mary has a contemplative side to it, Lord and Miller are also quite fond of fast-paced narratives. Artemis represents Weir’s first attempt to craft just that in a novel, but it does get sandwiched between science and Jazz’s own drama. Lord and Miller’s protagonists are often forced to grow while in the middle of the action, which would fit perfectly with Artemis‘ narrative. Hopefully, with the success of Project Hail Mary, this adaptation gets bumped up in the duo’s backlog.
Project Hail Mary is currently in theaters.

Jessi And Marciano Have Fans Talking: ‘Messi’
It’s been quite a chaotic time for fans of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” lately and it doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. And since the hit Hulu reality show has ceased filming for the time being, fans are getting their fill of the drama via social media, and let’s just say there’s no lack of insanity happening.
Jessi Draper‘s recent actions have fans either rooting for her or scratching their heads, but regardless of what side they are taking, everyone is here for it. After an emotional affair with “Vanderpump Villa” star Marciano Brunette when the two shows collided for a crossover episode, a new dramatic storyline was born. Fans may have thought it was dead and buried, even after the announcement came that Jessi and her husband Jordan were getting a divorce, but they couldn’t be more wrong. A series of Instagram Stories and TikTok video shared in the past few days prove that something is going on – but is it just rage bait to keep the fans intrigued while filming has stopped, or is there something more serious brewing with the two of them out of the spotlight?
Jessi And Marciano Have Fans Talking Online
To catch anyone up to speed who may have missed the past few days online, Marciano teased a visit to Utah in his Instagram Stories on Friday. But the teasing was soon proved to be what everyone was thinking – he was visiting Jessi. Internet detectives starting sharing theories and even receipts that the two were in fact hanging out.
It didn’t take too long before Jessi posted a video to help that speculation along. And then a video by Marciano soon followed. And now that fans see that Jessi and Marciano are spending time together in Utah, they aren’t holding back what they are thinking in the comment sections of TikTok videos and Instagram posts.
Media personality Harry Jowsey wasted no time jumping into the comment section to say, “What is happening.” He actually also shared some interesting news on his own Instagram page, but we’ll get to that later.
“Who needs a Hulu subscription when season 5 is airing free on TikTok,” one person wrote. Another asked, “Is it illegal in Utah to be single?” One other viewer said, “Jessi calling up Marciano the second she handed those divorce papers over.”
Marciano Also Shared A Video That Has Fans Talking

Not long after sharing his Instagram Stories – one of the airport, another of a margarita with a mystery woman in the background (who we now know is Jessi) and one of a Swig cup – he shared a video on Instagram that shows him and Jessi walking hand-in-hand captioned, “Messi.” (Looks like they have a cute name for themselves as a couple already.)
Fans probably tripped getting into the comment section to say what’s on their minds.
“Don’t hurt her,” Jowsey said. He seems quite invested in the drama, and fans are loving that. Reality star Stassi Schroeder wrote, “WHAT IS HAPPENING,” and fellow reality star Katie Maloney wrote, “I’m here for this.”
“Begging someone from Hulu to grab a camera, like, yesterday,” another viewer wrote. One other added, “I like the couple name,” and another said, “You’ve got our attention.”
It appears that some are just here for the drama, others are invested in them actually being a couple, and then the rest are hoping this is just rage baiting at its finest.
Back To Harry Jowsey And What He Shared About Jessi And Marciano
For fans of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” who watched season 4, Harry Jowsey’s entanglement into the drama makes sense. For those who haven’t watched season 4 yet, he makes an appearance on the show and it’s quite memorable.
He jumped into the ongoing drama with Jessi and Marciano to give a more “on the ground journalism” approach and viewers are loving this POV. He shared a screenshot of a text between him, Jessi, and Marciano in a TikTok video and in his Instagram Story.
“Fire Hulu and hire Harry atp,” one viewer wrote in the comments of the TikTok video. “Man is working over time to give us the tea,” another shared. Another fan pointed out what many are thinking, “Production stopped at the WORST time ever.” One other said, “Harry just know you are doing the lord’s work right now.”
‘I Vote Harry For Executive Producer At This Point’
Viral TikToker @stephwithdadeets also shared Harry’s text chain reveal and more information in her video captioned, “ATP we’re gonna need Harry to just become a producer and pick up his own and head to Utah.”
The comment section lit up with praise for Harry. One fan wrote, “Harry is the man we all want and need right now. Bless that man with all good things,” and another said, “I vote Harry for executive producer at this point.” One other fan joked, “I’m convinced Harry is already filming season 5.”
While ‘Mormon Wives’ Filming Is On Hiatus, Stay Up-To-Date On Social Media

While it might be discouraging that season 5 isn’t currently filming due to Taylor Frankie Paul’s ongoing alleged domestic violence drama, it seems that fans can get their fill of Utah excitement on TikTok and Instagram.
Most of the cast have been sharing their lives on social media despite not currently filming, so if you are missing the show and already binged seasons 1 through 4 multiple times, TikTok just might give you the fix you need.
What are your thoughts on Jessi and Marciano – is it just rage bait or interesting PR angling, or is there actually something going on with the two of them?
