Bachelor in Paradise’s Kristina Schulman Reveals How She Feels Now About Dean Unglert

If Kristina Schulman never wanted to speak to Dean Unglert after season four of Bachelor in Paradise, we wouldn’t blame her. Even he admitted that he “made a lot of bad decisions” when he found himself in a love triangle with her and Danielle “D-Lo” Lombard. But Schulman — who previously looked for love on Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor — is taking the high road.

“I’m trying to stay friendly with everyone,” she told HuffPosts “Here to Make Friends” podcast. That might seem surprising to fans, considering how Unglert treated her, but as she explained in her interview, Bachelor Nation is a small world: “I’ll be seeing him, as well as D-Lo, in the same Bachelor circles.”

She added, “I’m trying to be friendly. Understanding him a little bit more and what he was trying to do. Look, yes, it hurt me in the process a whole lot, but I try to see the best in people… I’m trying to understand where he was coming from.”

She also explained where she thinks things went wrong (other than the obvious), saying that when she first showed up in Mexico, she “had the Paradise mindset.” She continued, “I saw that Jade and Tanner [Tolbert] worked out, Evan and Carly [Bass], so to me I was like, ‘Okay, everything needs to be a little bit intensified if I want to walk out of Paradise in a fairly serious relationship.'”

Conversely, she feels like Unglert saw BiP as an opportunity to start dating someone rather than an entrée into a serious relationship. She admitted that when it came down it, they simply didn’t have what it took to make it work: “He and I did not line up.”

How can I watch "The Golden Bachelorette"?

According to ABC, The Golden Bachelorette will air on ABC and be available to stream on Hulu the following day. Historically, the different installments of The Bachelor have aired on Thursdays at 8pm ET.

What is the cast of "The Golden Bachelor" up to now?

It just so happens that our most beloved contestants from The Golden Bachelor, Kathy and Susan, have been working on a podcast titled Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour. They've posted tons of episodes dishing on The Golden Bachelor experience.

The pair definitely showed some real chemistry during the first-ever Golden Bachelor, and the podcast is a true testament to their friendship.

“We can finish each other's sentences,” Susan told PhillyVoice about Kathy. “We're night and day, but yet we're the same in a sense. We just roll off each other, and it's so easy.”

As far as the winners of The Golden Bachelor, Gerry and Theresa, things worked out for a bit, but they mutually decided to end their marriage in April 2024. Many speculated that they split because they had settled down in different places of the country and found it hard to relocate for love.

“We looked at homes in South Carolina, we considered New Jersey, and we just looked at homes after home,” Theresa said during an interview on Good Morning America, “but we never got to the point where we made that decision.”

How successful was "The Golden Bachelor"?

According to Variety, the first installment of The Golden Bachelor reached about 43.4 million viewers, making it ABC’s most-watched unscripted premiere on Hulu. The finale amassed 6.1 million viewers, deeming it the biggest episode in Bachelor history in nearly 3 years.

We had so much fun watching the very first installment of The Golden Bachelor, that we just can’t wait to see the roles reversed for The Golden Bachelorette. The hype is very real!

I've been anxiously awaiting news on The Last of Us season 2 release date ever since that crazy season 1 finale in March of 2023. ICYMI, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) have returned to Jackson but unfortunately, all's not well that ends well, because Joel is hiding a huge secret — and it's totally shaken Ellie's trust in him. I love this reluctant duo so much and the premiere has already proven The Last of Us is one of the best shows of 2025. Here's what you need to know about streaming the rest of the episodes.

Here's everything we know about The Last of Us season 2 episode guide & breakdown of episode 1, "Future Days."

What happened in The Last of Us season 2 premiere?

Liane Hentscher/HBO

The first episode of The Last of Us season 2, "Future Days," opens five years after the season 1 ending. Joel & Ellie have created lives for themselves in Jackson but their relationship is clearly fractured (without a doubt stemming from the lie he told about the Fireflies not needing her for a cure). Joel wants to keep Ellie safe, while she won't have anything to do with him. She's the same live wire as always, with the added freedom of a 19-year-old, which means that now, her reckless decisions include leaving her patrol behind to seek out infected in abandoned grocery stores — and then having to report to Tommy and Maria.

Ellie's aunt and uncle are in a new chapter themselves as parents of a 5-year-old. In addition to caring for their own family, Maria's struggling to ensure Jackson can house anyone who needs them — which is bound to include Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and her crew, who we learn are the survivors of Joel's season 1 Firefly hospital massacre...and who want to kill him "very slowly." The final moments of "Future Days" see Abby and the rest of the group finally near Jackson — and Abby give the tiniest knowing smile as she gets closer to enacting her revenge.

Liane Hentscher/HBO

The Last of Us season 2 immediately throws the viewer back into the action, and doesn't miss a beat (and not just because it includes a couple seconds after season 1 ends). "Future Days" once again proves that relationships are the heart of this show, and every single dynamic is just as good as the last: Tommy and Ellie, Dina and Joel, Jesse and Ellie, Abby and Owen.

One dynamic we see from the very beginning is Ellie and Dina who are friends-but-maybe-more. That is, until a town dance finally reveals their feelings for each other. They kiss on the dance floor, but when they're interrupted by a man who calls them horrible names, Joel pushes him to the floor, prompting Ellie to yell at him in front of the whole town. But despite the fact the dialogue is a memorable part of the game, Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey's facial expressions steal the show, and these small interactions between the characters are what sets the show apart.

Bella Ramsey is once again untouchable as Ellie, and their jump from playing a 14-year-old to a 19-year-old is so striking, I couldn't help but forget five years didn't pass in real life. The same can be said for Pedro Pascal, whose Joel carries himself so differently from season 1 after spending five years in a safe space surrounded by people he loves (as far as I'm concerned, his Emmy campaign starts now!!). I've watched Kaitlyn Dever since we were both in high school and her display of power, grief, and calculated anger makes her a new series standout — as does Isabela Merced's magnetic and infectious joy.

The Last of Us season 2 has always been emotional and gripping, but season 2 is already addictive.

Where can I watch The Last of Us season 2 episodes?

Liane Hentscher/HBO

The Last of Us season 2 premiered on HBO and Max April 13, 2025. There will be seven episodes total, and new episodes will air every Sunday at 9 PM ET. Here's the full episode schedule:

  • Season 2, Episode 1 “Future Days” aired April 13, 2025
  • Season 2, Episode 2 airs April 20, 2025
  • Season 2, Episode 3 airs April 27, 2025
  • Season 2, Episode 4 airs May 4, 2025
  • Season 2, Episode 5 airs May 11, 2025
  • Season 2, Episode 6 airs May 18, 2025
  • Season 2, Episode 7 airs May 25, 2025

Who's in The Last of Us season 2 cast?

Liane Hentscher/HBO

The Last of Us cast for season 2 includes:

  • Pedro Pascal as Joel
  • Bella Ramsey as Ellie
  • Gabriel Luna as Tommy
  • Rutina Wesley as Maria
  • Kaitlyn Dever as Abby
  • Isabela Merced as Dina
  • Young Mazino as Jesse
  • Ariela Barer as Mel
  • Tati Gabrielle as Nora
  • Spencer Lord as Owen
  • Danny Ramirez as Manny
  • Jeffrey Wright as Isaac
  • Catherine O’Hara as Gail

What is The Last of Us season 2 about?

Liane Hentscher/HBO

The Last of Us season 2 was renewed in January of 2023 after the pilot aired. The game sequel opens five years after the events of the first game, and Joel and Ellie's relationship has splintered because of Joel's secret: his promise that Ellie's immunity couldn't be used for a cure is actually a lie — and he murdered an entire hospital of Firefly rebels to save her life.

When Ellie finds out Joel lied to her — and when a certain someone finds out Joel's responsible for the massacre — their worlds implode. Bella Ramsey told Vanity Fair "it’s really a story about revenge and a continuation from the first season about the dangers of unconditional love."

Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal teased to Deadline that The Last of Us team “are always going to find ways to build on the incredible source material that they have, and surprise us with how they can use that material in a different format like a television show."

'The Last of Us' season 2 trailer teases lots of terror.

Liane Hentscher/HBO

We've already gotten our first look at Kaitlyn Dever's Abby (a character fans of the game love to hate), but The Last of Us season 2 trailer is the first time we gotten to hear her — or see her Firefly pendant. We also caught a glimpse of Ellie and Dina (Isabela Merced) dancing during an iconic game scene and Tommy (Gabriel Luna) helping defend Jackson from the infected.

While season 1 was full of earthy tones and tons of light vs. dark imagery (as is the beginning of the season 2 premiere), The Last of Us season 2 is already showing off a much more aggressive color palette with blacks and reds that underscore just how explosive things are this season (and judging by the flares, I mean that quite literally).

Check back here for the latest The Last of Us season 2 release date news! And read up on the other most-anticipated TV shows coming in 2025.
