“Romantasy” is one of those portmanteaus like “ legacyquel” or “ Barbenheimer ” that have become ubiquitous recently. Only a few years ago, you would never have heard it in day-to-day life, but now it's a necessary word that describes a very specific cultural phenomenon. In this case, the rise of romance/fantasy hybrid books quickly took over BookTok through a blend of high fantasy worldbuilding and bodice-ripping romance.

The comic follows Suzie and Jon, young adults who discover they have the power to stop time when they have sex. As their budding relationship evolves, they decide to use their power to rob banks.

Former Spurs bosses Thomas Frank and Ange Postecoglou will be rivals once again at the World Cup this summer. However, instead of facing one another in the dugouts, they'll be going head-to-head in competing TV studios, having both penned deals to be pundits at this summer's tournament. The first match of the USA, Canada and Mexico tournament kicks off in one month's time and both will be there to provide punditry for UK TV networks.

Peacock announced on Monday that's launching two unscripted Bravo microdramas, which will stream on its app. These are vertical video series, with episodes around 60 to 90 seconds, are designed for a quick, TikTok-like viewing experience. "Salon Confessionals with Madison LeCroy" will feature the "Southern Charm" star as she gives her clients a makeover while they tell her their most dramatic stories. "Campus Confidential: Miami" spotlights a group of college students including Georgia Gay, daughter of Heather Gay from "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City."

Lad, 29, who lives in the Lower Haight, will represent San Francisco on Season 4 of "The Great American Baking Show," which premieres May 11 on the Roku Channel. Like its British counterpart, the popular show pits highly skilled home bakers against each other as they race against the clock to craft extravagant cakes in a tent setting. The cakes are then judged by celebrity chef Paul Hollywood, as well as restaurateur, chef and writer Prue Leith; each week, a different baker is sent home.

Jules didn’t appear in the season premiere beyond Lexi's eyebrow-raising mention. But from the moment she graced our screens, it felt like she had been hanging out in the elite circles of New York, even though she's living and (kind of) working in Los Angeles like all of her former high school peers.

It's a blessing that Good Omens Season 3 is happening at all. Mired in real-life controversy, creator Neil Gaiman stepped away from the project, and many fans were worried that the show would end after the heartbreaking confession and betrayal of the Season 2 finale. Thankfully, Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and Crowley (David Tennant) live on, albeit in a shorter, feature-length special that tries its best to tell the story of the Second Coming but really just wraps up the story of these Ineffable Husbands. But let's be honest - that's all we really wanted anyway.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, the love triangle was resolved by the end of the season! We have a freshly single Katie, a furious Sunny, a contrite Archie, and a brand-new antagonist for season two. This was a relatively low-key but incredibly sweet finale that hit all the pleasure centers a good comedy finale should hit. There was comeuppance, a celebration, lots of touching moments, and a delicious cliffhanger that makes us want so much more.

“I think Eddie lives in such naivety, and he's oblivious to so much that that's kind of the texture of the character,” he said. “I think if he knew what that looked like or played into that, it wouldn't read as well, to be honest. So him having that spat with Buck, not knowing that he looks like the exact married couple that you see on TV, amplifies that scene.”

Joni's love for the Lord and for the people we serve shaped this ministry from the beginning, the network's board of directors said in the statement. The network said its ministry will continue on and that Lamb made sure a leadership team was in place. Lamb, the network's president, had been suffering from serious health issues before sustaining a back injury that caused her health to deteriorate, the network said in a statement. A cause of death was not released.

Hallmark+ has renewed Hope Valley:1874 for a second season. Of course, while it's always a little nerve-racking waiting to see if your favorite show made the cut, this renewal news shouldn't come as a major surprise for those of us invested in the When Calls the Heart universe. The fandom is a loyal bunch! In fact, Hope Valley is actually the streamer's most successful series launch to date.

While celebrity appearances often come down to a cost-benefit analysis of how it will help their profile, Stephen Lambert, the chief executive of the show's producer, Studio Lambert, said the reason most celebrities gave for signing up to Celebrity Traitors was the allure of the game itself. The 21 celebrities confirmed for the upcoming series of Celebrity Traitors: (top, L-R) Amol Rajan, Bella Ramsey, James Acaster,

Rolling out first in the U.S., Clips will include...well, clips of shows on Prime Video that are designed to hook a viewer and get them to give the full show a try. From that clip, users can add a title to their watchlist, share it with a friend, or navigate to rent, buy, or access the title through their subscription.

She delights in working with other actors. She is thoughtful about good writing. She wants to make everything better, and somehow, that seems like half the battle.

Usually quite a bit darker than your average crime thriller, these stories often feature familiar plot beats garnished with unflinching violence and complex supporting characters. Netflix's "The Chestnut Man" is one of the better recent examples of this phenomenon, a Danish thriller from 2021 that follows the investigation into a string of serial murders, all marked by the inclusion of a disturbing chestnut figurine alongside various mutilated dead bodies.

“Robyn Brooks definitely has Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally on her playlist,” the streamer captioned the April 27 post (which seems to have since been deleted), drawing a connection between Kravitz's fictional record store owner and her (reported) real-life beau's latest album.

Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness premieres June 26th on HBO and HBO Max, with new episodes debuting weekly. Check out the teaser trailer below for more.

While he didn't dream up the concept of cable TV or even launch its first culturally significant network - HBO gets that honor - Turner, an outsider who built his empire from Atlanta instead of New York or Hollywood, had an almost dogmatic belief in the industry's potential to break up the monopoly that the Big Three broadcast networks had maintained for decades.

Though confrontation - be it physical, professional, or behavioral - is often the linchpin that drives much of these series' twists and turns, self-examination and true accountability is seldom deployed to facilitate whatever goal each show's cast members hope to achieve.

Don is tasked with something that seems impossible: recruiting and training Customs agents to become deep cover secret agents. He starts with a simple flyer reading "Could You Offer More?" and then a complex and mysterious series of tests that whittle the contenders down to just four: Erin, Kate, Bailey, and Guy.

Bychkova confirmed her exit in March, saying she would "always be grateful" for the experience. She added: "This isn't the end... I look forward to being part of the Strictly world for many years to come in ways I am beginning to explore."

The first two seasons of Daredevil: Born Again depict the ascension of career criminal Wilson Fisk to the realm of politics, winning the seat of mayor, much to the chagrin of his longtime vigilante nemesis Daredevil. Such a radical shift of the status quo would surely have rippled out beyond Hell's Kitchen into the wider universe (and in the source material, it very much does), but as shown by the teaser for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the Kingpin's newfound office and the anti-vigilante legislation he championed don't seem like it'll have many repercussions outside of Born Again.
