Ayesha Curry Talks Life, Motherhood, and Her New Collaboration

On Mother’s Day, we get to celebrate the special women in our lives who seem to have it all under control, the women who magically keep things moving both at home and at work, the women who keep us happy and fed and generally functional: our mamas. Ayesha Curry is one such superwoman. In addition to being wife to NBA superstar Stephen (better known as Steph) Curry and mother to two adorable daughters (Riley and Ryan), she’s a seriously budding personality in the food world. You may have seen her Food Network show Ayesha’s Home Kitchen, been totally drawn into her addictive Instagram feed, or fallen down the uber-delicious rabbit hole of the amazing recipes she posts on her site. As if that wasn’t enough, Ayesha also recently published a cookbook (The Seasoned Life: Food, Family, Faith, and the Joy of Eating Well), launched a meal kit subscription box, and announced that her first restaurant will open later this year in San Francisco. Honestly, we need a nap just thinking about all of this.

To top it all off (yep, we’re still going), on May 14 (Mother’s Day, appropriately), Ayesha will launch Cheeky Baby — a line of reusable, high-quality plastic and silicone tableware for little ones — in collaboration with Cheeky. Think sippy cups, non-slip bowls, divided plates, silicone bibs, and more… all in adorable, soft shades, and decorated with sweet animal characters. The best part? For every piece of the Cheeky Baby line purchased (exclusive to Target), one meal is donated to a child in need through No Kid Hungry.

Luckily for us, Ayesha took some time out of her clearly chaotic schedule to talk about life as a boss mom, as well as the new Cheeky Baby products. Read on to learn more!

Brit + Co: What are the keys to your entrepreneurial success?

Ayesha Curry: Not putting a ceiling on myself has really helped — and setting goals, but not dwelling on them if they don’t happen. For me, it hasn’t been about working for those goals. It’s just been about working. It’s about putting forth my best effort every single day, and seeing what God has in store for me, but not focusing in on any one thing. When you focus on one thing, you don’t realize all of the other blessings that are happening. I make sure that I put forth my best effort and am working really hard to make myself better in everything that I’m doing every single day. That’s been a big key. I’ve also learned how to shake off the negatives that happen. The bad things have taught me to be resilient, so I can press forward and get better.

B+C: What lessons have you learned about how to shake things off? Has it gotten any easier to do that?

AC: No, it never gets easier. It’s really, really hard. I don’t want to sugarcoat things! When I get really stressed out or frustrated or something’s not going the way that I want it to and it feels like everything’s falling apart, I have to sit down, go on my Headspace app, and just breathe. Then, I’ll literally take out a sheet of paper and write down all of the positives that are going on with whatever it is I have my foot in at the time. I think it’s really important to always put things in perspective and to physically write down the ways that you can solve the issue. That works for me. As women, we tend to get really, really worked up over what’s really big in the moment, but it usually ends up being a small deal.

B+C: How do you manage all of your entrepreneurial projects with being such an active mom to two little ones?

AC: The first thing is lots of coffee. Also, lots of wine. (laughs) I literally have to schedule myself down to the second. It gets frustrating at times, but that’s kind of how it works for me. I’m a visual person, so I have to take a pen and paper and do it. What I’ve also learned is that it’s always quality over quantity. I suffer from chronic Mom Guilt, which I think a lot of people can relate to. As a mom, that never goes away. You’re always going to feel like you’re not good enough, you’re always going to feel like you’re not doing enough — but the truth is that you are. The important part for me has been to make sure that when I am with my girls, I’m disconnected and my phone is down and I’m spending quality time with them. I don’t try to work and play at the same time. It’s really about making sure that you divide the two and set aside the time for work, and then set aside the time to be a mom. You’re always going to have to worry and you’re always going to have guilt, but being able to separate your time and really focus on the kids fully and wholeheartedly is important.

B+C: In your nonstop schedule, how do you keep your priorities in check and stay ahead of your to-do list?

AC: This is repetitive, but I’ll go back to making lists! Visually crossing things off really helps me. You’re most likely not going to finish everything that’s on that list. Seeing everything that I actually did accomplish gives me peace of mind, so I’m not harping on what I didn’t finish. I keep perspective, though. My kids are healthy, I was able to feed my family that day, and everything’s okay… that makes me feel accomplished. Perspective is huge in my life. We’re all so blessed and we tend to look past all of the blessings and just look at the negative and what’s not right — instead of looking at what is right.

B+C: What is your favorite part about juggling your busy work life and family life?

AC: My favorite part about all of this is the adrenaline rush I get. When you really love what you do, the stressful times almost boost you up. Whether I’m in the kitchen developing recipes for the restaurant, or whether I’m at home or shooting [the show], I have these moments where the stress level is so high, and I feel like there’s not enough time to do anything that needs to get done. In those moments, my best self presents itself, because ultimately, I’m dealing with all of these hardships and stressors, and the fact that you’re able to get through and finish what you started is an accomplishment in itself. The high-stress moments and the adrenaline rush that comes with them is the best part of juggling everything and having a full plate.

B+C: On the other hand, what do you find to be the biggest challenge that comes with the juggling act?

AC: It feels like there’s never enough time to sleep! When it is time to sleep, I always feel like I could be doing more. I try to make sure that I’m taking care of myself, even though I have two little (Riley and Ryan) and one big (husband Steph) human beings to take care of on top of myself. Plus, I have all of these other endeavors. It’s about making sure that I don’t forget about myself, and it’s about setting that time aside. It can be something as simple as taking your vitamins or drinking enough water or taking that time for yourself to just breathe or be.

B+C: When you do get that time for yourself, what’s your favorite way to spend it?

AC: I love to light a candle that smells really peaceful and run a bath. I’ll pour a glass of red wine. I love to just sit in there and either read a magazine or just close my eyes. It’s my favorite thing to do. The funniest part about that, though, is that I think I spend more time running the bath than I actually do in it. (laughs) It’s a whole therapeutic process.

B+C: How has being a mom helped you become a better entrepreneur?

AC: I’m capable of multitasking and juggling several different things at once. After I had my first daughter, I thought to myself, “What was I doing with my time before?” Having kids, I’m able to do more than I was before and still be a mom. That’s something that I think is so amazing about being a woman, in general. We have this ability to multitask and juggle and still manage to take care of the people around us. It’s a really beautiful thing.

B+C: What about vice versa — how has working on all of your endeavors made you a better mom?

AC: Being a mom has taught me a lot of patience, and to simply breathe. It’s helped me be a more calm, serene, responsible person.

B+C: One of the things people love about your blog and your show is the chance to see your family life in action. What’s it like being on the inside of that overlap between the professional and personal?

AC: Sometimes, it gets a little weird and intimidating. At the same time, my family is my whole existence. They’re the reason that I do everything, and they make me extremely happy. My family is why I started on this journey in the first place. When I had my first blog “Little Lights of Mine,” it was there as a vessel for me to share all of the things that brought light and positivity and happiness into my life. Obviously, my family is the biggest part of that. My journey with food is the second half of it. Food and family go hand in hand. My whole mission is to keep the family meal and the camaraderie of simply gathering around the table and eating together alive. With social media, everyone’s always on their phones, trying to capture the moment. You spend so much time trying to capture the moment that you never actually live a moment, because you’re trying to create one instead of just being. My whole mission with food and sharing these parts of my family is to try to encourage people to keep that tradition alive. When you’re eating together and enjoying really good food, that’s where memories are made, and that’s where relationships are built.

B+C: What was the inspiration for your new product line Cheeky Baby?

AC: When I came on with Cheeky Baby, I was looking for stuff for my youngest daughter, Ryan, who was a baby at the time. I was looking for plates, forks, transitional cups, and all of that. Everything was either so ridiculously priced or really, really cheap and would break apart or spill everywhere. It just wasn’t functional. When [Cheeky and I] approached each other through our partner No Kid Hungry, I was like, “Yes! Let’s do this!” I signed on with Cheeky before Cheeky Baby was even born! The inspiration was finding the balance between being functional and aesthetically pleasing for the parents, but also super cute and fun for the baby. For me, a lot of stuff on the market is a little bit intimidating. I’m a big neutrals girl, and I don’t like anything that’s too bright and too loud. The product is such a happy medium because all of the colors are so serene. At the same time, every piece tells a story and there’s a character involved for kids to connect with. Ultimately, though, the fact that Cheeky Baby is a one-for-one company is what inspired me the most. For every piece you buy, a meal is donated through No Kid Hungry. Not only are you getting what you need for your children, but you’re also giving back to children in need… and teaching your kids how to give back too.

B+C: What else should moms know about Cheeky Baby products?

AC: The line is available at Target, and the price point is so competitive with the other products there. I’m able to share this moment with all of my friends and family, because it’s just so affordable — but we’re not missing out on that quality. As a mom, the most important thing to me is that things are dishwasher-safe (laughs), so you can throw it in the dishwasher and you don’t have to worry about it.

B+C: How does mealtime in your house look with Cheeky Baby?

AC: Mealtime, for us, is chaotic. We’re trying to figure out the best thing possible to feed [the kids], but we also want it fast and easy. Mealtime is fun now because we use all of our Cheeky Baby stuff. We have drawers that sit low in the kitchen, and I put everything into those drawers. It empowers [Riley and Ryan], because I can say, “Okay, girls, it’s dinnertime. Go ahead and pick out which plates you want today.” Usually, they’ll fight over the plates, and it’s kind of adorable. But it empowers them because they’re able to make a choice and get excited about the meal they’re about to eat.

B+C: When you’re not organizing meals for your littles ones, what are your favorite foods?

AC: I love Asian-inspired cuisine. It’s what I grew up with. My mom’s Jamaican, and Jamaican and Caribbean cooking have a huge Asian influence, so I love the mixture of that. I also love good old fashioned Italian.

B+C: What don’t know people know about you that you think would surprise them?

AC: I think people wouldn’t know that I’m a very nervous, shy, introverted person. I’m comfortable around family members, but around anyone else, I generally keep to myself. Also, I play the bass guitar. (laughs)

Marvel movies are known for their heroes and their hopeful outlook on the world. But in 2025, we're getting a brand new team: the Thunderbolts. This team is made up of antiheroes and former villains, and it's sure to be the wackiest and strangest, as well as one of the most memorable, superhero movies we've seen in recent years.

Keep reading for the latest news on Thunderbolts* before it hits theaters in 2025.

Marvel Studios/YouTube

Thunderbolts* comes out this May, and the cast just showed off some brand new footage at the D23 convention — and thanks to the new 'Celebrating 85 Years' spot, we have the first look too!

We get a look at Bucky Barnes, The Red Guardian, John Walker, and Ghost. Plus, Yelena Belova, of course. This heartbreaking detail about Yelena's new look connects Florence Pugh's Yelena to Scarlett Johansson's Natashaand I'm WEEPING.

Marvel Studios/Walt Disney Studios

And at D23 Brazil, we got a brand new look at my new favorite team. "There’s something in this film, in terms of superpowers and superheroes, that shows that our superpowers lie in how ‘broken’ we are," David Harbour said at the event. "As if our superpowers came from our relationships.”

What is the plot of Thunderbolts?

Thunderbolts* Plot

Consider Thunderbolts* to be The Avengers' edgy younger sibling. The movie follows Yelena Belova (who we know off the bat is a "depressed assassin" thanks to a Marvel Studios press release). She's joined by Bucky Barnes, The Red Guardian, and John Walker. Based on a leak, it looks like we'll see this group of misfits team up against Valentina Allegra de Fontaine after she sends them on a deadly mission.

Thunderbolts* Release Date

Thunderbolts* Release Date

Thunderbolts* hits theaters May 2, 2025.

Who's on the Thunderbolts team?

Thunderbolts* Cast

Thunderbolts* stars Florence Pugh, Geraldine Viswanathan, Lewis Pullman, Hannah John-Kamen, Wyatt Russell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sebastian Stan, and David Harbour.

This is a huge cast, and Viswanathan just revealed how crazy the first day of filming was. “My first day didn’t feel real," she tells Vanity Fair. "I felt this extra pressure of, ‘Know your lines, babe. You can’t really play around like you usually do.’"

Historically, sci-fi fans haven't been kind to actresses in their favorite projects (remember when Star Wars fans bullied Kelly Marie Tran off social media?). But Viswanathan is already thinking ahead. “If it’s overwhelming, I’ll log off. But I like discourse around pop culture,” she says. “[Thunderbolts*] felt a little bit edgier and fresher, more existential and dark.”

Jesse Grant/Disney

The rest of the cast also enjoyed working together. “Everyone is going to f—kin’ love me! It’s really, really, really fun to be with a group of actors that you have a good time with," Wyatt Russell says at Comic Con (via Variety), while David Harbour adds, “Florence Pugh [is] just electric to work with. There’s warmth and humor, but there’s also a lot of pathos.”

“This is why we can't stop laughing together, because we genuinely just had such a wonderful time with each other and we've loved working with one another," Pugh tells People. “I feel like this is something that we've never seen before from Marvel...it's a very open and honest and truthful idea. And I'm just really excited for people to watch it.”

Are you excited for this brand new chapter in the MCU? I really feel like Thunderbolts* will usher in a whole new generation of fans and I, for one, CANNOT WAIT! Let us know your thoughts on Facebook.

Fans of Fourth Wing are on pins and needles because Rebecca Yarros just announced she's finished writing the third book in the Empyrean series! It's us, we're fans — along with over half of BookTok.

We can't believe we're getting closer to reading more about Violet Sorrengail's journey, but we know you have a ton of burning questions about the release date for Book No. 3.

We may not have all the answers, but we've done a little digging to share as much as we can because who doesn't want to know what Rebecca Yarros has been up to?

I'm new to the Empyrean series. Are "Fourth Wing" and "Iron Flame" really worth reading?

Amazon

I'm not going to lie to you. The editorial team, including myself, are extremely biased about Fourth Wingand Iron Flame. From my perspective, I think these are great books for anyone who had the pleasure of growing up during the great Harry Potter era and moved on to watchingGame of Thrones and House of Dragons.

Did she announce the name of book no. 3?

Rebecca Yarros/Instagram

YES! Book No. 3 is titled Oynx Storm.

Knowing what we do about the manifestation of Violet's powers, I think this could hint she's going to play an even larger role in the series. According to a fan theory shared on TikTok(via Empyrean Riders), it's believed that Violet and Xaden Riorson are actually gods. Stay with me here.

Empyrean Riders noted that Violet's last name means heavenly and that she's able to control time thanks to her connection to the young dragon Andarna (I love her so much!). That sounds pretty god-like to me.

And when asked which two Taylor Swift songs describe Onyx Storm, Rebecca Yarros chose "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" from The Tortured Poets Department and "So It Goes..." from Reputation. "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" is one of Taylor's most powerful songs and definitely translates the idea that Violet's powers are going to be stronger than ever, while "So It Goes..." is equal parts suspense and seduction, and is TOTALLY about "all the pieces fall right into place" to get together with the right person.

There's so much more to unpack so I suggest grabbing a yummy snack while you fall down the rabbit hole. All I'm sure of is that Onyx Storm is going to leave our emotions in shambles just like Fourth Wing and Iron Flame did.

When did Rebecca Yarros announce she's done writing book no. 3 in the series?

Rebecca Yarros/Instagram

On June 17, Rebecca Yarros shared this image of her laptop to indicate she'd finished the third book in the Empyrean series.

She wrote, "(Pic from one of the very many locations in which this book was written)," towards the end of the caption before adding a few relevant hashtags to it.

When will Onxy Storm be available for purchase?

Rebecca Yarros/Instagram

Rebecca Yarros exclusively told Good Morning America that fans can expect the book to hit shelves January 21, 2025! That gives us a little over six months to prepare our emotions for what's sure to be a storm of a book.

She said, "There will be politics, new adventures, old enemies and of course, dragons." There's no way she could forget the dragons because I'd willingly riot over them. They deserve to have their stories told forever.

As luck would have it, Cosmopolitan received an exciting first look at what's to come in Onyx Storm. The excerpt begins with Violet realizing the Venin have found their way into Basgiath War College and are wreaking havoc. Alongside Rhiannon, Sawyer, and Ridoc, she races to stop the Venin from releasing Jack Barlowe from his prison cell.

However, Violet's shocked when she discovered one of the "dark wielders" has a long silver braid that closely resembles her own. Before she can fully react, the woman disappears. According to Screen Rant, there are possible theories about why Violet saw her and what this means for her growing power.

Towards the end of the excerpt, Violet discovers the Venin want to capture her too. Also, Xaden makes his long-awaited appearance and it's clear their playful banter in the face of danger hasn't changed. That he hasn't fully changed into the Venin Violet's used to seeing.

I officially can't wait to read the rest of the book in January!

Has Rebecca Yarros revealed the cover for Onyx Storm?

Today/Bree Archer, Elizabeth Turner Stokes for Entangled Publishing

Onyx Storm

Yes!

TODAY received an exclusive look at the cover for Onyx Storm and it doesn't disappoint! Unlike its predecessors, it appears Rebecca Yarros is hinting that darker events will take place.

Fans of the Empyrean series aren't the only ones who are excited to see what fate has in store for our favorite characters though. In a statement to TODAY, Rebecca revealed how elated she is to be working on the series again. "It's amazing to be back with these characters again. She also said, ""I can't wait for readers to see what Violet, Xaden, and the rest of the quadrant have in store for them in Onyx Storm!"

Outer Banks fans got a treat during 2023's Poguelandia event (which took place on February 18 in Huntington Beach, California). While celebrating the release of Outer Banks season 3, the cast took to the stage to announce that we were also getting Outer Banks season 4! As a native Outer Banks-er myself, this is one teen drama I will never be able to get enough of — so keep the seasons coming Netflix!

I'm already thinking about what hijinks the Pogues will get up to in Outer Banks season 4. Here's everything we know about the new TV show, including the cast, the plot, and the Outer Banks season 4 release date! Once you've scrolled through, catch up on The Craziest Outer Banks Theories.

Keep reading for the latest news & updates on Outer Banks season 4.

Who runs over the turtles in Outer Banks?

Jackson Lee Davis/Netflix

The one Outer Banks season 4 scene that has fans freaking out is when the Pogues and Kooks wind up at the same access on their beach day — and a game of chicken literally turns deadly. Topper's new girlfriend Ruthie (played by Mia Challis) drives her Jeep directly at the Pogues, and winds up running over a turtle hatch, killing a baby turtle in the process.

“When I read that in the script, I was as shocked as the viewers," she tells Elite Daily. "I read it four times being like, ‘Wait, a baby turtle? No, surely not.'"

Despite her cold shoulder, Mia thinks Ruthie did end up feeling guilty about the situation. "When she finds out the turtles have died, she thinks, 'What have I done?'" she says. "There is slight remorse. But Ruthie's defense mechanism is to pretend like she doesn't care."

"It's such an emotional scene for Madison Bailey, who plays Kiara," she continues. "They gave her a plastic baby turtle to hold. When that was happening, we were looking down at the turtle and thinking it was so sad. But I had to switch that off and try to get into my Ruthie mindset."

But surprisingly, Mia also reveals filming the emotional scene wasn't as devastating as you might expect: "We were laughing the whole time. When I watched it, I felt awful, but on the actual day of filming, it was quite light and fun."

What happens at the end of Outer Banks season 4?

Jackson Lee Davis/Netflix

Spoiler warning!! The Outer Banks season 4 ending shocked the internet by killing off one of our favorite Pogues: JJ. The decision immediately sent fans into a tailspin, and more than one viewer told me they're heartbroken over the loss. Don't worry though. This Rudy Pankow & Madison Bailey interaction just might heal you.

Is there an Outer Banks season 4 trailer?

Netflix

Yes, you can watch the Outer Banks season 4 trailer here! The trailer really proves the show is returning to its roots by bringing the Pogues back to the OBX.

I have all my fingers and toes crossed we finally get some answers to one question I've had since season 1. I'm convinced that during Kiara's Kook year, when she briefly ditched the boys to become friends with Sarah, that Rafe fell for her, and hasn't left her alone since. This is such a small detail but it would provide so much context for the characters! Either way, it looks like Rafe, JJ, and John B will be fighting this season (again).

When is Outer Banks season 4 coming out?

Netflix

Summer vacation is lasting all year long! Outer Banks season 4 will be premiering in two parts: we'll get the first five episodes on October 10, and the second five on November 7.

After Madison Bailey revealed in an Instagramstory that Outer Banks 4 finished filming in June, she confirmed we'd be getting Outer Banks season 4 this fall on August 15 with a hilarious video hyping up John B and Sarah's fictional surf shop (which we'll see in the upcoming season).

What is season 4 of Outer Banks about?

Netflix

Outer Banks season 3 ended with an 18-month time jump — meaning the characters will be a year and a half older at the end of Outer Banks season 4 than in previous installments of the show. This definitely works in the series' favor because the characters will be closer to the cast's ages. Plus, being post-grad gives them more flexibility to go treasure hunting without the repercussions of skipping school...like they did the entirety of season 2.

Thanks to some important details at the end of the season finale, we know Kie is working with turtles, JJ bought a charter boat, Pope is going to college, and John B. and Sarah are running a surf shop. But things take a turn for the adventurous when the Pogues are given a new quest to hunt for Blackbeard's treasure. The real Blackbeard loved hiding his treasure on places like Ocracoke Island, which is on the real OBX. I'm super excited for this plotline because it means we'll be back on the Outer Banks for (hopefully) the whole season!

Netflix

"It’s not going to be the usual Blackbeard story," according to co-creator Josh Pate, and (spoiler!!) we actually have our first plot details. According to Wrightsville Beach recreation program supervisor Katie Ryan (via Wilmington StarNews) and the shows filming permits, we know that one scene will involve "two people jumping from the pier," while a second "involves individuals finding a body on the beach."

While Outer Banks season 4 promises to be as adventurous as ever, Chase Stokes promises People the show will also go back to its roots. “There was a real want for a lot of the authenticity and the characters in season 1. So I will say that they do a good job this season of that,” he says.

Netflix


After the death of Sarah and John B.'s fathers, the show's golden couple will have to figure out what their future looks like. “It really will force them to evaluate everything," he says. "Where they are, what their purpose is, what their intentions are, and what was the actual value of it? Was it worth it, in hindsight? If they could go back and change things, would they?"

"[The Pogues have had] a huge, huge shift in lifestyle in a very, very short period of time," Chase continues. “And I think when you go through that level of trauma, for sure, it'll make you start asking those deeper questions.”

Who's in the Outer Banks season 4 cast?

Netflix

We're expecting the main cast to return for Outer Banks season 4, including Chase Stokes as John B., Madelyn Cline as Sarah, Madison Bailey as Kiara, Jonathan Daviss as Pope, Rudy Pankow as JJ, Carlacia Grant as Cleo, Drew Starkey as Rafe, and Austin North as Topper.

Fiona Palomo will star as Sofia alongside J. Anthony Crane as Chandler Groff, Pollyanna McIntosh as Dalia, Brianna Brown as Hollis Robinson, Rigo Sanchez as Lightner, Mia Challis as Ruthie, and Cullen Moss as Shoupe.

Since Charles Esten's Ward ends up (spoiler!) dying at the end of season 3, he probably won't make a return — unless the show ventures into ghost territory. Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised. But even if he's not on set, he recently reunited with Madelyn Cline and Drew Starkey!

Charles Esten/Instagram

"That thing where you’re playing your 4th Annual WARDJAMMER...and your amazing friends who also happen to be your @obx son and daughter surprise you by showing up and hanging out all night and even coming on stage to sing 'Left Hand Free,'" Charles writes on Instagram. "What an absolute joy to wrap my arms around these two! The bond is real and my heart is grateful."

Where is Outer Banks season 4 filming?

Netflix

Outer Banks season 4 has been seen filming around Charleston, South Carolina and Wilmington, North Carolina, which is where other titles like Dawson's Creek,The Summer I Turned Pretty, andOne Tree Hill have all filmed! Because OBX has never filming in Wilmington before, it makes me think the Pogues will truly go on an adventure we've never seen.

The First Look At Outer Banks Season 4

Netflix/YouTube

After Netflix's Tudum event showed off the Pogues' new style (and confirmed that all of them will be returning, thank goodness), we got a brand new look at some Outer Banks season 4 scenes thanks to Netflix's 2024 preview. It's a brief clip, but we hear just how excited the Pogues are to go after a treasure they've "spent [their] whole lives hearing about" (same, TBH) — and get to see them lounging around on a day off. Treasure hunting is hard work, after all!

This first look gives us an idea of what we can expect from this upcoming installment because while season 1 had the golden overtone of our favorite 2000s dramas, season 2 featured warmer orange tones, and season 3 featured cooler blues and greens, it looks like Outer Banks season 4 is youthful, bright, and colorful. And thanks to this clip, we also know for a fact we'll see Madison Bailey, Rudy Pankow, Jonathan Daviss, Madelyn Cline, Chase Stokes, and Carlacia Grant come back to their iconic roles.

Is Outer Banks season 4 the last season?

Netflix

Netflix hasn't officially announced whether we'll be getting an Outer Banks season 5 or 6 yet, but creators Jonas and Josh Pate have enough story for another two seasons. "We’re going to fill in some gaps in the 18 months," Josh tells TUDUM. "We felt like we needed to migrate them out of school. We think about the first three [seasons] as a trilogy and then we’re starting over on [another sort of] trilogy now. We just needed to clear the decks. We’re going to have new villains, a new treasure hunt, a new life situation."

I'm excited to see what kind of roots the characters put down in Outer Banks season 4 — and how they flourish as the story continues!

Kate Winslet is THE Hollywood actress to me. Not only has she starred in box office smashes like Titanic and Avatar: Way of Water, but she's proven her acting chops in breakout indie flicks and provided mothers and daughters everywhere with eternal Christmas movie nights thanks to The Holiday. But the actress' consistently viral kindness, her dedication to embracing her natural beauty, and her sophistication don't mean she always feels confident. Kate Winslet just spilled on the one movie from her career that had her "sh—ing" herself, and I just had to dive in.

Here's what Kate Winslet had to say about her scariest movie experience ever.

  • Kate Winslet made a name for herself with Titanic, Sense & Sensibility, and The Holiday.
  • However those movies aren't the film she wants fans to ask about!
  • The actress spills on the movies she's proud of, and the one job that had her "sh—ing myself."

Talking to Vanity Fair for her newest film Lee, Kate Winslet revealed one project she wishes fans asked about more is Iris. The 2001 film stars Kate as a young Iris Murdoch against Judi Dench's older counterpart. And for Kate, nothing was more terrifying than working with such a wonderful actress.

"People don’t really ask me about Iris. It’s such a delicate film," she says. "It was the first thing I had done after having my daughter. Going to work with a baby, I’m playing Iris Murdoch, looking to Judi Dench’s older Iris Murdoch — I was sh—ting myself."

Considering how nervous I get when I meet my heroes, I can only imagine what it was like to meet Dame Judi Dench. Talk about a dream! Another film Kate loves is Revolutionary Road, and not just because she got to reunite with Leonardo DiCaprio.

"The thing that people say is, 'You got to work with Leo again.' Then they go off on the whole Leo tangent, which I totally understand," she says of the film, which follows an ambitious couple who find themselves trapped in the reality of 1950s suburbia. "But Revolutionary Road — f—king hell, it just knocked us all sideways. Unbelievably difficult material. I was very proud of that film and what Leo and I were able to create as Frank and April. It was so brutal."

The process for getting Lee into the world sounds equally brutal, considering Kate started working on it over a decade ago. As producer, Kate tells Vanity Fair she doesn't mind the fact she's done more for the film than if she only had an acting credit. "That has felt very necessary for this film. But it’s also just really important to me," she says. "It’s important to me that people know that it’s out there and might feel compelled to go and see it."

Because it turns out, commercial success or stardom on its own doesn't actually help your movie get made! "It doesn’t matter who you are," she says. "No one’s going to go, 'Oh, I’ll just back that pony because she was in Titanic.' It doesn’t happen that way, and I never expected that. That’s really important to say."

"I've gotten older and I’ve learned more and felt more confident in myself about whether or not I could actually do it," she adds. "It’s not something I would’ve done had I not felt so passionately about the subject, and Lee was just—she wouldn’t let me go."

Gladiator 2 isn't even in theaters yet (mark your calendars for November 22!) and star Paul Mescal is already thinking about doing a threequel. Although, after raving about director Ridley Scott, and sharing the screen with Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and Joseph Quinn, who could blame him?! So if you're wondering 'Is there going to be a Gladiator 3?' then you've come to the right place.

Keep reading for all the latest Gladiator 3 news — and to see what Paul Mescal and Ridley Scott have said about returning.

Is there going to be a Gladiator 3?

Paramount Pictures

Paramount Pictures hasn't confirmed whether we're getting a Gladiator 3 quite yet, but director Ridley Scott is definitely on board. "I’ve already got eight pages. I’ve got the beginning of a very good footprint," he says. But he also mentions he'd like to make one huge change from the first two movies. "If there’s a Gladiator 3, I don’t think you’d ever go back into the arena. But I had to go back into the arena…"

And as for whether Paul Mescal would return? Well that's a resounding yes. “If there's going to be a Gladiator III, I hope I'm in it," he told Peopleat the LA premiere of Gladiator 2 on November 18, while adding to Variety that he'd be “massively down” for a third movie.

“I don’t think it will be [24] years — but I have no idea when it will be.”

But Paul's comments on a Gladiator 3 weren't the only reason he made headlines last night! He brought GF Gracie Abrams (who just broke the internet in her own right when she performed with Taylor Swift). And while they didn't make a red carpet appearance together, it seems like Gladiator's official TikTok account just hard launched their relationship.

"THEY HIT THE PENTAGON," one user commented, while another said, "I just fell to my knees." If you can't tell from the drama, fans are going crazy. (It's me, I'm fans).

Is Russell Crowe in the new Gladiator?

No, sadly, Russell Crowe doesn't make an appearance in Gladiator 2 (well, apart from Gladiator flashbacks, that is). And if you're wondering 'Is Maximus alive in Gladiator 2?' you'll just have to watch the first one!
