15 Celeb Deaths That Shook Us to the Core in 2016

2016 was teeming with new life, with what seemed like a complete and total celebrity baby boom — just check out these nine super memorable pregnancy announcements for proof! Yet, for every new addition bestowed upon us, it seemed as though we lost an old familiar face in a beloved celeb. Celebrity deaths occur every year, but 2016 seemed especially brutal, taking some of our brightest and most revered stars. We’re taking a look back at some of those who may be gone, but never forgotten, by honoring them with our recap of 15 celeb deaths that shook us to the core.

1. David Bowie, January 10: Right from the start, 2016 broke our hearts by taking from us the musical genius that was David Bowie, AKA Ziggy Stardust. The artist passed away following an 18-month-long, largely secret battle with cancer, and our worlds have all been duller for it since. From his turn as Jareth the Goblin King to his penchant for killer cat photos, he truly was a magical unicorn that we’ll forever miss. (Photo via Tim Mosenfelder/Getty)

2. Alan Rickman, January 16: Right on the heels of Bowie’s death came more heartbreaking news, as Alan Rickman also passed away due to cancer. The actor beloved for his role as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films and remembered (if not quite as fondly) for breaking Emma Thompson’s character’s heart in everyone’s favorite (or not-so favorite) holiday flick, Love Actually, was mourned by fans the world over. And they weren’t the only ones feeling the blow of his death: the entire HP crew, including JK Rowling, Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, took to social media to share their pain.

3. Abe Vigoda, January 26: Though actor Abe Vigoda had countless memorable film roles in his lifetime, we’ll always remember him best as the lovable grandpa from Look Who’s Talking (one of our childhood faves) that lets out a hearty laugh as baby Mikey pulls at his eyebrows. His death, peaceful as it was in his sleep, felt like losing a grandparent of our own. (Photo via Jim Spellman/Getty)

4. Chyna, April 20: Though her passing was largely overshadowed by that of the much-loved musician Prince, who died just one day later, former WWE wrestler Chyna’s death was certainly noteworthy: She was the first and only woman to ever hold the WWF Intercontinental Championship. In short? She was a #GirlBoss in a traditionally male-dominated industry, and for that, we give her our utmost respect. (Photo via Michael Stuparyk/Getty)

5. Prince, April 21: Whether you knew him as Prince Rogers Nelson (his given birth name), just Prince, The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, the love symbol or something else entirely, His Purple Majesty’s death wasn’t one we’ll soon be forgetting. The 57-year-old musician’s fanbase reached far and wide, thanks to not only a slew of hits spanning more than four decades, but his trendsetting tendencies in the worlds of fashion and art, to boot. (Photo via Chelsea Lauren/Getty)

6. Muhammad Ali, June 3: One of the most revered persons to pass this year, Muhammad Ali was honored by no less than 15 celebs following his mid-summer death. Known as both a boxing champion, and, perhaps more importantly, a humanitarian, Muhammad touched everyone from Halle Berry to Justin Timberlake and Ryan Reynolds, in addition to countless anonymous admirers the world over. Often imitated but never duplicated, he truly was the greatest when it came to his craft, and to many, as a human being. (Photo via Stephen J. Cohen/Getty)

7. Christina Grimmie, June 10: In what may have been the most tragic death of 2016 in nature, 22-year-old rising The Voice alum Christina Grimmie was gunned down before her time following a performance in Florida. While many offered their condolences via Instagram, Twitter and the like, it was former coach Adam Levine that was perhaps hit the hardest, offering to pay for the young star’s funeral. (Photo via Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic/Getty)

8. Anton Yelchin, June 19: Less than two weeks after Christina’s untimely passing, tragedy struck again when 27-year-old actor Anton Yelchin was killed in a freak accident involving his vehicle. Stars such as Anna Kendrick and Kat Dennings were heartbroken at the Star Trek actor’s absence in their lives; another blossoming talent taken far too soon. (Photo via Barry King/Getty)

9. Gene Wilder, August 29: Another death that felt like a personal injury was that of actor Gene Wilder. With such a strong connection to our childhoods, our dear Willy Wonka had Twitter pouring its heart out for the man who brought the whimsy of our younger days to life. We can still hear him singing now… (Photo via John Lamparski/WireImage/Getty)

10. Alexis Arquette, September 11: Already a day of reverence for America, which remembered the 15th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks this year, the Arquette family faced extra hardship this year when Alexis Arquette took her last breath on September 11. The second youngest of five, Alexis’s baby brother David Arquette took to Twitter to share a touching tribute to his big bro, “His hero for eternity.” *Tear* (Photo via Amanda Edwards/WireImage/Getty)

11. Janet Reno, November 7: Janet Reno, controversial though some of her professional actions may have been, paved the way for many a woman in office when she broke down government barriers as the first female US Attorney General. With any luck, the path she helped to pave for women in politics will be one that sees a female president taking office sooner rather than later. (Photo via John Kopaloff/Getty)

12: Florence Henderson, November 24: We still can’t believe that Florence Henderson, AKA Carole Brady, is gone. While she will forever live on through the legacy that has become The Brady Bunch, the world seems a little less safe and comfortable knowing we’ll never hear that wonderfully familiar voice exclaim, “Oh, Alice!” ever again. (Photo via Amanda Edwards/WireImage/Getty)

13. John Glenn, December 8: As Janet was a pioneer in politics, John Glenn was a pioneer in space, becoming the first American to orbit the Earth, and only the fifth person to enter space’s atmosphere: a fact that seems crazy in 2016, when more than 530 have accomplished the feat. Later a politician himself with a seat in the Senate, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from none other than President Obama in 2012. May we all aspire to lead such eventful and celebrated lives! (Photo via NASA/Getty)

14. Alan Thicke, December 13: If Carole Brady was America’s TV mom, Alan Thick was its dad. The patriarch of Growing Pains for the entirety of the show’s seven seasons, plus its two subsequent movies, Alan Thicke was practically synonymous with Jason Seaver. While he had other roles throughout his career (including a recent one on Fuller House), it was his stint as the level-headed psychiatrist who played Mr. Mom so that his wife could go back to work — a rather progressive role in the ‘80s — that seemed to have enthusiasts (Candace Cameron Bure included) at a total loss over his sudden heart attack. (Photo via Andrew Chin/Getty)

15. Zsa Zsa Gabor: December 18: Just as it opened, 2016 went out with a bang in the celebrity death department with the Hollywood icon that was Zsa Zsa Gabor. Known just as much for her personal life (she was married nine times!) as she was for her film roles, Zsa Zsa was every bit as famed as Paris or Nicky Hilton in her day (and incidentally, was married to their great-grandfather Conrad at one point).

Thanks to the eternal popularity of Gilmore Girls, we all know mother-daughter shows are some of the best around. And if you ask me, Ginny and Georgia are totally the next Rory and Lorelai. If you're looking for a new series to binge while getting cozy this winter, then look no further than Ginny & Georgia. It's got intrigue, it's got romance, it's got drama — which is exactly why it's one of the Netflix shows you should binge on a break!

Keep reading for everything you need to know about Ginny & Georgia season 3.

When does season 3 of Ginny & Georgia come out?

Brooke Palmer/Netflix

You can stream Ginny & Georgia on Netflix starting June 5, 2025.

What is Ginny & Georgia season 3 about?

Netflix

Ginny & Georgia follows the titular mother-daughter duo (plus Ginny's little brother Austin) who move from Texas to Wellsbury, Massachusetts after the death of Georgia's husband. But while a new town, a new school, and new friends can be complicated on their own, things get even messier in season 2 when Ginny discovers her step-dad's death wasn't an accident.

And at the end of season 2, Georgia's arrested for murder in the middle of her wedding reception. This was "always the plan," according to creator Sarah Lampert. "How we pitched season 1 and then how we ended our pitch of season 2 was, 'Then Georgia's married to Paul, they're having their first dance, and she's arrested for murder,'" she told People in January 2023.

"I'm blown away that the writers are still able to show us completely new sides of each character, and that's what you're going to see in season 3," actress Brianne Howey says. "You will see a lot of grit and hustle, but in an entirely new way. Georgia has to dig deeper into a part of herself we haven't seen yet. So, she has to use that grit in all new ways."

Who's in the cast?

Netflix

Ginny & Georgia stars Brianne Howey as Georgia Miller, Antonia Gentry as Ginny Miller, Diesel La Torraca as Austin Miller, Jennifer Robertson as Ellen Baker, Felix Mallard as Marcus Baker, Sara Waisglass as Max Baker, Scott Porter as Paul Randolph, and Raymond Ablack as Joe.

How old was Georgia when she had Ginny?

Amanda Matlovich/Netflix

Georgia was 15 years old when she gave birth to Ginny. This is another detail that reminds us of Gilmore Girls since Lorelai was 16 when she had Rory!

Where can I watch Ginny & Georgia?

Netflix

Ginny & Georgia season 3 is premiering June 5, 2025 on Netflix, which is where you can stream all 20 episodes of the show (10 in season one and 10 in season two). It's safe to assume that Ginny & Georgia season 3 will also have 10 episodes.

This post has been updated.

If you're waiting for 1923 season 2, I've got good news for you. You don't have to spend the next month rewatching season 1 because Netflix just dropped a brand new TV show that is giving MAJOR Yellowstone universe vibes. Set in 1857, American Primeval is all about family and survival, which sounds a lot like the Duttons if you ask me. Lock in, friends, because you'll probably binge it in one sitting.

Here's everything you need to know about American Primeval, streaming on Netflix now.

Where can I watch American Primeval?

All six episodes of American Primeval are available to watch on Netflix now. The episodes range from 36 minutes to just over an hour. That means it's the perfect TV show to binge watch this weekend!

What is American Primeval about?

In 1857 Utah, cultures clash when Indigenous peoples, settlers, and the Mormon militia begin a fight for the land. Sara (Betty Gilpin) and Devin (Preston Mota) are searching for Devin's father when they meet Two Moons (Shawnee Pourier), a Native American who escaped abuse. When their group is attacked, the trio is taken under the wing of Isaac (Taylor Kitsch).

And fans are loving it! One X user tweeted that it's "one of the best series Netflix has made," while another calls it a "masterpiece."

Who's in the cast?

American Primeval stars Taylor Kitsch as Isaac Reed, Betty Gilpin as Sara Rowell, Dane DeHaan as Jacob Pratt, Saura Lightfoot-Leon as Abish Pratt, Derek Hinkey as Red Feather, Joe Tippett as James Wolsey, Jai Courtney as Virgil Cutter, Preston Mota as Devin Rowell, Shawnee Pourier as Two Moons, and Shea Whigham as Jim Bridger.

Is American Primeval true?

Matt Kennedy/Netflix

American Primeval is a fictionalized version of history, so while it features real events like the Utah War and the Mountain Meadows Massacre (in which the Mormon militia murdered a wagon train of travelers on their way to California), the details and main characters were created for the series.

But one real detail about the TV show? Taylor Kitsch learned the Shoshone language from elders at the Wind River Reservation for his role as Isaac. "One of my dialect coaches, she's in her late 70s and the last thing she wants to do is get this language written down," he told Q's Tom Power. "I'm so lucky to do this kind of stuff."

"To give yourself to a project worth telling….You're servicing something bigger than you," he continues. "There's a legacy. There's something there that humbles you quite quickly and I love that challenge."

Will there be a season 2 for American Primeval?

American Primeval was originally released as a limited series. But given the success of the show, I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up getting a new season! Stay tuned for updates on American Primeval season 2.

The White Lotus season 3 is finally on its way, and it is, without a doubt, one of my most-anticipated 2025 TV shows. And we finally have an official release date! The new 8-episode season is coming even sooner than I could have hoped for, and there are plenty of sexy surprises in store.

In addition to the highly-anticipated return of Natasha Rothwell's Belinda, we're also going to meet characters played by Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Aimee Lou Wood. Talk about a stacked cast! I can't wait to watch the new episodesthis February, but this trailer is definitely holding me over for now!

The White Lotus season 3 is coming February 16, 2025. This season we're headed to Thailand (after season 1 took us to Hawaii and season 2 took us to Italy), but amidst the stress-management meditation and incredible food, our cast is dealing with plenty of secrets, testing their limits throughout their week-long vacation.

"What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand," is the perfect way to open the trailer for this (likely) debaucherous new season. There's a lot to unpack throughout this almost 3-minute video. Here's what we noticed:

  • The Thailand White Lotus property is stunning! Every season makes me want to book a vacation ASAP.
  • Belinda looks gorgeous — so happy to see our girl thriving!
  • We're getting a classic White Lotus family with kids who clearly have nothing in common or want anything to do with their family.
  • Responding to "I hope you enjoy Thailand," with "We usually go to the Caribbean" is that perfect White Lotus humor I live for. It's not in your face, but it gets the point across so well.
  • Belinda's there to learn and "bring the magic back to Maui." (Could this mean we get a return to the Hawaii resort in a future season?!)
  • Aimee Lou Wood and Walter Goggins playing a multi-generational couple is perfect — especially with little details like Aimee saying Walter should get a facial because someone thought he was her dad. Incredible.
  • "It means we're not dead yet," is such good foreshadowing given what we know about this show.
  • "I think the cosmos brought us together," is more amazing White Lotus writing — these characters are always kooky, eccentric, and so addictive.
  • "We're poor now and daddy's going to prison" is a classic White Lotus character problem. You can't help but love to laugh at the incredulous Rich People Problems on this show!
  • It looks like all the crime described on the island sets up the potential for lots of different whodunnit murder scenarios we could end up with. I have a feeling we'll all be shocked at how this story turns up from who ends up in the body bag to who puts them there.
  • "Someone once said, 'The secret to life is knowing when to stop.'"
  • Oh and we get a new version of the theme song! I'm sure it'll be stuck in our collective brain for many months to come!

We already got hints at 'The White Lotus' season 3 last year.

The teaser trailer gave us a glimpse at this exciting season back in December 2024.

"Everyone runs from pain towards pleasure," the teaser trailer voiceover said. "But they get there only to find more pain." The montage of late-night parties and unsettling shots like Parker Posey staring down the camera (and someone grilling a live crab until it catches on fire??) have me convinced The White Lotus season 3 is going to serve us an insane helping of both pain and pleasure.

We also got shots of Patrick Schwarzenegger lounging by the pool, Jason Isaacs taking a paranoid stroll through the jungle, and a coupled-up Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins celebrating the fact their vacation didn't kill them.

And creator Mike White says 'The White Lotus' season 3 is going to be bigger than ever.

We know that The White Lotus season 3 is going to be the biggest season yet, thanks to interviews with the creator and crew. “It’s going to be a supersized White Lotus,” creator Mike White said in an interview with EW. “It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier. I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing…I’m super excited about the content of the season.”

And he's not the only one. Natasha Rothwell told PEOPLE that "White Lotus is going to give you a run for your money.”

"It's an excellent season and people are going to be very pleased," she continues. There's always something special about a third season thanks to the combination of familiarity and brand-new adventures, and the seductive intrigue The White Lotus season 3 is already proving my point.

Season 3 is always my favorite season of a show — especially considering Gilmore Girls Season 3 Is Simply The Best, And No TV Show Has Matched It Since. Check out our weekend email send for more TV news and the latest news on The White Lotus season 4!

Just when we thought we'd had enough thriller books on our shelves, we caught wind of a new The Girl with Dragon Tattoo book! Ever since we saw Rooney Mara expertly portray Lisbeth Salander in the 2011 film (not to mention the page-turner book itself), we've been hooked on this series. Originally written by Stieg Larsson, each tale followsLisbeth's journey as a hacker who has more depth than meets the eye.

Now she's back for more perilous adventure that may have even more damning consequences! Here's what we know.

Scroll down for all the sweet details about the new Girl With the Dragon Tattoo book!

What's the name of the new 'Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' book?

Penguin Random House

PEOPLE revealed the final book in this series is called The Girl with Ice In Her Veins. Based on the prior titles in the series, it's on par with the mysterious and thrilling aspect found in each plot.

What is 'The Girl with Ice In Her Veins' about? 

The Girl with Ice In Her Veins takes Lisbeth Salander on yet another deadly adventure in Sweden.

Plagued by bitter coldness and snow, the town of Gasskas is facing unprecedented times. In addition to dealing with frigid temperatures, those in the community are angered at the carelessness of a corporation that only cares about having access to area's resources. Before long, an explosion sets off a chain reaction and someone turns up dead...

The only reason Lisbeth returns to Gasskas is because her colleague Plague has been snatched away and her young niece Svala has been left in her care with no explanation. However, Lisbeth isn't going alone because Mikael Blomkvist will be with her.

As they work to interpret what's happening in the chilly town, Svala disappears which makes Lisbeth's mission more personal than before.

When does 'The Girl with Ice In Her Veins' come out?

Amazon

The Girl with Ice In Her Veins will be on shelves September 2!

What else do we know about 'The Girl with Ice In Her Veins'?

PEOPLEshared a snippet of the book, and it's clear from the onset that something's not right. The conversation between Lisbeth and the hacker Plague seems tense, yet filled with remnants of care. But that's not what's unsettling. It's the fact Lisbeth can tell Plague doesn't sound like himself even as she fights a viral cold. Check it out for yourself!
