Author Kira Peikoff Explores The World Of Fertility In New Dystopian Novel "Baby X"

Q: B+C: You set "Baby X" in a world that's moved past the pandemic and influencer age. What about these things stood out to you and serve as inspiration for the book?

Kira Peikoff: , It's backstory in my book starts about 30 years from our present day so some of my characters were kids in today's world who were growing up amidst the chaos of the pandemic and our politics. This moment in time culturally shaped my characters because they are probably more prone to rebel against the status quo, cultural norms, and conventions that that pandemic has thrown into disarray.

Q: B+C: When you were writing "Baby X," did you know that you wanted to have chapters where the characters gave their own POVs?

Kira Peikoff: , I'm someone who extensively plots my work before I even write the first page and in this case, I think I spend about two to three months just thinking about the characters and what kind of stories they were in the middle of in their own lives. Basically I knew exactly what the answers were by the time I sat down writing .

Q: B+C: We're in this digital world where we're seeing the shuttering of publications that have been around for a long time and we have a character who's excited to have this opportunity to work somewhere that reminds her of the traditional way of writing. Do you feel like her feelings were displaced when she meets someone else who has a similar opportunity?

Kira Peikoff: ,Yeah, I think her feelings of insecurity are warranted even though she has a lot to offer. I tried to show that she was very motivated, hardworking, and bright, and has gotten herself into an amazing fellowship at a very prestigious outlet that's a combination of The New Yorker and Wired. They cover highbrow topics from a technological perspective.

Q: B+C: We're living in unprecedented times where things like IVF are now in limbo because of recent rulings and there's a little fear that this choice can be taken away from parents. If given the chance, do you think parents would choose their children's genetics in the future?

Kira Peikoff: ,I think there's a lot going on to unpack. These types of politics that we're seeing in Alabama and other states absolutely jeopardize and imperil the technologies that could actually help parents in the future to have healthier children or have more freedom in terms of who can procreate. The technology in my book has already been shown to work in mice.

Q: B+C: Women are often told their biological clock is ticking, but that language is nonexistent in "Baby X." Was that intentional?

Kira Peikoff: ,Absolutely. I think part of the huge benefits of the technology — and of course there's risk associated with it — are that age doesn't matter anymore and you don't have to rely on your supply of eggs that you were born with as an infant. [In the book] all you have to do to reproduce is to give a swab of your cells and a lab would turn your cells from inside of your cheek into eggs or sperm.

Kira Peikoff knows we're living in unprecedented times with the ever-changing scopes of technology and science and beyond...but she doesn't necessarily think it's a bad thing. She says, "I love writing about the impact of new and emerging technologies on our lives and on our world." In fact, she's dreamt up a world that marries the two in her upcoming science fiction novel Baby X. It's a mix of mystery and thriller, inspired by everything from recent events to fertility advancements. Still, she knows there's always dangers lurking beneath a reimagined dystopian society so I chatted with her to learn more about her inspo for writing a gripping novel like Baby X.

B+C: You set "Baby X" in a world that's moved past the pandemic and influencer age. What about these things stood out to you and serve as inspiration for the book?

Kira Peikoff: It's backstory in my book starts about 30 years from our present day so some of my characters were kids in today's world who were growing up amidst the chaos of the pandemic and our politics. This moment in time culturally shaped my characters because they are probably more prone to rebel against the status quo, cultural norms, and conventions that that pandemic has thrown into disarray.

B+C: When you were writing "Baby X," did you know that you wanted to have chapters where the characters gave their own POVs?

Kira Peikoff: I'm someone who extensively plots my work before I even write the first page and in this case, I think I spend about two to three months just thinking about the characters and what kind of stories they were in the middle of in their own lives. Basically I knew exactly what the answers were by the time I sat down writing .

B+C: We're in this digital world where we're seeing the shuttering of publications that have been around for a long time and we have a character who's excited to have this opportunity to work somewhere that reminds her of the traditional way of writing. Do you feel like her feelings were displaced when she meets someone else who has a similar opportunity?

Kira Peikoff: Yeah, I think her feelings of insecurity are warranted even though she has a lot to offer. I tried to show that she was very motivated, hardworking, and bright, and has gotten herself into an amazing fellowship at a very prestigious outlet that's a combination of The New Yorker and Wired. They cover highbrow topics from a technological perspective.

So, this character gets this fellowship and she's paired with another postgraduate fellow who was a selected embryo and this other fellow is extremely talented in ways that makes her feel inadequate. Over time, this character learns that your predispositions are what you make of them.

Your own energy, drive, passions, creativity, and what you bring to the table matters more than your scores as an embryo. That's the message I really want to get out there and hopefully comes across by the end of the book.

B+C: We're living in unprecedented times where things like IVF are now in limbo because of recent rulings and there's a little fear that this choice can be taken away from parents. If given the chance, do you think parents would choose their children's genetics in the future?

Kira Peikoff: I think there's a lot going on to unpack. These types of politics that we're seeing in Alabama and other states absolutely jeopardize and imperil the technologies that could actually help parents in the future to have healthier children or have more freedom in terms of who can procreate. The technology in my book has already been shown to work in mice.

But, it would absolutely be impossible if the prevailing politics take over. That's certainly an issue to be wary about. However, I think there will be a demand for parents to select embryos with certain genetics. We already see the competitive impulses parents have on getting their kids into good colleges.

B+C: Women are often told their biological clock is ticking, but that language is nonexistent in "Baby X." Was that intentional?

Kira Peikoff: Absolutely. I think part of the huge benefits of the technology — and of course there's risk associated with it — are that age doesn't matter anymore and you don't have to rely on your supply of eggs that you were born with as an infant. [In the book] all you have to do to reproduce is to give a swab of your cells and a lab would turn your cells from inside of your cheek into eggs or sperm.

You still have to carry the baby yourself or have a surrogate, but hormone support and drugs would make it possibly to carry later in life. We're seeing that age 35 is not a sharp cut off for pregnancy today. Instead it's a slow curve that decreases over time.

Dax Shepard Asked Oscar Nominee Cynthia Erivo About Going To The Bathroom...For Some Reason

The Wicked moviepress tour has been a truly beautiful thing to witness. Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo have cried in almost every interview because of how much they love their characters and each other, and it seems like working on this project really did heal something in them. So, after the sincerity of their interviews, I was really taken aback when I learned Dax Shepard had Cynthia Erivo on his Armchair Expert podcast...and chose to ask her about going to the bathroom?

Keep reading for what Dax Shepard had to say and, like me, wonder why he asked it in the first place.

On an episode of his Armchair Expert podcast, Dax Shepard asked Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo if her famously long nails make it difficult to wipe when she goes to the bathroom. “I knew you would ask that,” Cynthia responds, saying “no one’s afraid” to ask such an intimate question.

“My answer is that nobody uses just their fingers to wipe their backside,” she says. “You use tissue, correct? And you wipe!”

When he asked if she was annoyed or offended by the question, Cynthia admits she's "annoyed by it."

“I'm, like, 'Come on, guys,' ” she says. “But I get it, but it's also, like, ‘I'm a functioning adult, and I've never walked around smelling like, you know…'"

Theo Wargo/Getty Images

The actress has proved she's nothing if not honest this fall, going viral for saying "thank goodness" the actresses who auditioned with her for Glinda didn't land the role and for vocalizinghow much a fan edit of the Wicked movie poster offended her (she later admitted she should have texted her friends instead of posting on social media).

Now, this question was very weird to me for a few reasons. Not only does it have nothing to do with the film, but Dax asking Cynthia about her bathroom habits gives me a similar feeling to the one I got watching that male interviewer ask Scarlett Johansson about her underwear during Avengers: Age of Ultron press. Just...what is the reason? Plus, the fact Cynthia has also been vocal about how much she values her nails as a part of Black culture only makes the question (and the fact the nails feel like, no pun intended, the butt of the joke) weirder.

"Here’s the thing," Cynthia tells Dax before switching topics. "There are people who do not have nails who need to check how they’re wiping." Get 'em girl!

The New 'Babygirl' Trailer Is Out & I Can't Believe I Watched It During Work Hours

Nicole Kidman is, as the kids say, mothering. She's giving fans plenty of movies and TV shows to pick from while we wait for the next seasons of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers — A Family Affair, Expats, The Perfect Couple (and the AMC intro, of course). Her newest movie Babygirl comes from A24, and the steamy drama is mixing work and pleasure. Pour yourself a glass of wine for this one, folks.

Scroll down to learn more about Babygirl — and to watch the HOT new trailer!

What is the plot of Babygirl?

A24

Babygirl Plot

In Babygirl, Nicole Kidman plays Romy, a powerful CEO struggling to hold her perfect persona together. Her marriage to Jacob has never provided with much pleasure, despite the fact he's caring and artistic. But when Romy meets a young intern named Samuel, and feels immediately drawn to him, the two begin a torrid affair.

And filming scenes with Harry Dickinson got so intense, Kidman said she literally had to take breaks. “There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more,'” she told the Sun. “Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!”

But the fact the movie was made by women empowered Kidman — and gave her a sense of freedom. "Doing this subject matter in the hands of the woman that wrote the script, that's directing it and is a really great actress herself — we became one in a weird way, which I'd never had with a director before," Kidman says in a statement. "When you're working with a woman on this subject matter, you can share everything with each other.”

"I really decided in the beginning, I want to make a sexual film, just as sexual as all these films that I've always admired so much," adds writer-director-producer Halina Reijn, "but now I'm going to do it completely through female eyes. What does that mean and what does that look like?”

When is the Babygirl release date?

A24

Babygirl Release Date

Babygirl made its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, but you can watch the movie in theaters December 25, 2024.

Who's in the Babygirl cast?

A24

Babygirl Cast

The cast of Babygirl includes Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, Sophie Wilde, and Antonio Banderas.

What has Nicole Kidman said about making Babygirl?

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole Kidman revealed Babygirl is the most "exposing" film she's done because she's “made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this.”

“It left me raggedm" Kidman says. "At some point I was like, I don’t want to be touched. I don’t want to do this anymore, but at the same time I was compelled to do it...This is something you do and hide in your home videos. It is not a thing that normally is going to be seen by the world.”

“I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being,” she continues. “I had to go in and go out like, I need to put my protection back on. What have I just done? Where did I go? What did I do?”

What does babygirl energy mean?

A24

"Babygirl" is a term of endearment that's usually applied to a man (you've probably heard it describe Pedro Pascal or Paul Mescal). When someone is giving babygirl energy, they're kind, cute, and disarming. And considering Babygirl plays with power dynamics, we could be guessing who the "babygirl" in question is up until the very end.

Kevin Costner Finally Spoke On THAT 'Yellowstone' Death

Yellowstone season 5B is here! Twisters might have been THE summer movie of 2024, but the western vibes aren't going away, even after the Glen Powell movie has left theaters. The second half of Yellowstone season 5 returned to Paramount November 10 and it did not disappoint. 16.4 million viewers tuned into the premiere over a variety of networks — making it the most-watched season premiere in the show's history.

And it's a major season for one very specific reason: Kevin Costner isn't returning as John Dutton. The star decided to exit the series after season 5's eighth episode premiered in January 2023, but as big of a change is this is, Costner is still an executive producer on the series, giving it a familiarity fans will appreciate.

Yellowstone has always been dramatic, but in the Yellowstone season 5 first look, you can just feel the tension from fan favorites like Beth Dutton, Monica Long, and Kayce Dutton. And no wonder: the Duttons' family drama is coming to a head, and it looks like someone might not make it out alive. Read up on everything you need to know about the new season of Yellowstone, and check out why Paramount+'s New Drama Landman Is Perfect For Yellowstone Fans.

Keep reading for everything you need to know about the final season of Yellowstone.

Is Kevin Costner in Yellowstone season 5 part 2?

Paramount

No Kevin Costner is not in the second half of Yellowstone season 5, and we find out the fate of his character John Dutton immediately. When Beth and Kayce find John dead in the bathroom, Beth immediately suspects foul play and blames it on Jamie. Well, Kevin is finally speaking on his character's end, and told The Michael Smerconish Programon November 11 that he actually didn't know the show had premiered the night before.

“I’m going to be perfectly honest. I didn’t know it was actually airing last night,” he says. “That’s a swear-to-God moment. I’ve been seeing ads with my face all over the place and I’m thinking, ‘Gee, I’m not in that one.’ But I didn’t realize yesterday was the thing...I heard it’s a suicide, so that doesn’t make me want to rush to go see it.”

But even if Kevin isn't over the moon about watching his character die, he doesn't have any bad blood with the writers. “They’re pretty smart people,” he continues. “Maybe it’s a red herring. Who knows? They’re very good. And they’ll figure that out.”

Well, the actor told Entertainment Tonight that he STILL hasn't seen the season 5 premiere as of November 17. “I didn’t watch it, so I don’t really have any thoughts about it,” he said. Due to delays from the writer's strike, and a tug-of-war between Paramount saying Kevin couldn't film new episodes and Kevin saying creator Taylor Sheridan took too long to write the scripts, the actor chose to leave the series, reportedly in part to promote his Horizon movie franchise.

“I gave this thing five seasons,” the actor told The Hollywood Reporterthis summer. “I was really happy to do it. And I don’t need drama. So, let’s just take that drama away, let’s take the guessing [away]. The fans have been way too good to me. And my obligation is to go on and continue to make things that mean something to them.”

What is Yellowstone season 5 about?

Paramount

Yellowstone Season 5 Plot

The series introduced us to the Duttons, a powerful family in charge of America's biggest contiguous cattle ranch. Every season has been gritty and powerful, and in the fifth season, we've seen John become Montana's governor and make Beth his chief of staff. But with Jamie trying to take the power away from his dad, the Duttons are fighting each other like we've never seen — especially when Jamie and Beth start considering how to get away with murder.

Luke Grimes recently told Entertainment Weekly how pleased he is with the finale, and Kelly Reilly revealed creator Taylor Sheridan actually told her the ending to the series while they filmed season 1.

“I read the last episode the day before we started filming,” Luke says. “I couldn't be happier. I think it's a perfect ending for the show for every character. It's just a testament to what a good writer Taylor is, and it's a very, very profound, beautiful ending. I can't wait to sit down and watch it one day.”

Is Yellowstone season 5 part 2 out yet?

Paramount

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Release Date

Yes, Yellowstone season 5 part 2 premiered on Paramount November 10, 2024. You can watch new episodes every Sunday.

The series filmed in Montana during the summer of 2024.

Who's in the cast of Yellowstone season 5?

Paramount

Yellowstone Season 5 Cast

The cast of Yellowstone season 5 includes Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Luke Grimes, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Finn Little, Cole Hauser, Gil Birmingham, Wendy Moniz, and Mo Brings Plenty.

Where can I watch season 5 part 1 of Yellowstone?

Paramount

The first half of Yellowstone season 5 is now streaming on Peacock.

Will there be a season 6 of Yellowstone?

Paramount

It's always hard to say goodbye to a beloved show, but despite reports that Yellowstone would end with season 5, it looks like we could be getting a Yellowstone season 6 after all. Deadline confirmed that negotiations are happening for a potential continuation, which would focus on Kelly Reilly's Beth and Cole Hauser's Rip.

Reilly told Entertainment Weekly ahead of the season 5 premiere that "Beth is more like a wild animal this season than ever. When I read the scripts, it made me think [that] she is, for the first time, maybe afraid she will lose it for [her dad]."

"It's dark, brutal and desperate stuff — gaining power, losing it, defending and fighting," she continues. "It's bloody and at times beautiful in how it breaks them into their core selves." The setup for a potential season 6 will totally depend on how season 5 ends — and how it affects Beth, Rip, and the rest of the family.
