The Handmaid's Tale is one of the best, yet eerily specific dystopian shows we've watched which is why we couldn't wait to see Offred get her sweet revenge. It's without a doubt Margaret Atwood's most memorable books so we're excited The Testaments, the sequel to the exhilarating series, is in the works! Adaptations can be a hit or miss, but we have high hopes for this one based on how its predecessors had us glued to TV screens.

Learn everything we know about the highly-anticipated The Testaments series!

What is 'The Testaments' about?

The Testaments is set to follow the book's plot (via Variety) and will feature three central characters — Aunty Lydia, Agnes, and Daisy. As the Republic of Gilead continues its rampage, the intersection of their lives changes the course of history.

Deadline's official synopsis of the show says it's a "coming-of-age story" that follows "a new generation of young women in Gilead, grappling with the bleak future that awaits them." The bleak part is "growing up in Gilead is all they have ever known, having no tangible memories of the outside world before their indoctrination into this life."

During a time where marriage is highly praised and sought after, these young girls will have to find friendship among each other and anyone who's willing to positively guide them from girlhood to being women. Not only that, but they'll have to see if they have what it takes to break free from Gilead's oppressive reign.

Is casting information available?

  • Brad Alexander as another Commander who develops a close relationship to the girls under his watchful eye
  • Zarrin Darnell-Martin as Aunt Gabbana, a close friend of Aunt Vidala

  • Kira Guloien as Rose, a "Martha" who helps guide Agnes as best as she can

Everything You Need To Know About The 'Yellowjackets' Season 3 Finale After THAT Death

My jaw literally dropped after that Yellowjacketsepisode 9 ending. While Yellowjacketsfans are no strangers to shocking deaths, there was something about losing Van like that after everything she's been through that felt especially traumatic. And if that's how the penultimate episode went, I can only imagine what the writers are gonna do to us during the season 3 finale...

If you're trying to prep for whatever bombshells we're gonna get during the Yellowjackets season 3 finale, then this guide is for you. Here's everything you need to know!

Scroll to see all the details you need to know before we get the sure-to-be explosive Yellowjacketsseason 3 finale.

  6. Thanksgiving (Canada)
  7. Croak
  8. A Normal, Boring Life
  9. How the Story Ends
  10. Episode 10

Who's in the 'Yellowjackets' season 3 cast?

Showtime

Given the fact that we have a teen cast and an adult cast for Yellowjackets season 3, there are a lot of people on this show. This list includes:

  • Melanie Lynsky (Adult Shauna)
  • Tawny Cypress (Adult Tai)
  • Christina Ricci (Adult Misty)
  • Lauren Ambrose (Adult Van)
  • Simone Kessell (Adult Lottie)

What happened to Van in 'Yellowjackets'?

Showtime

In Yellowjackets season 3, episode 9, the living adult women cross paths with adult Melissa after thinking she was dead for years.

When the group finds out that Melissa faked her own suicide, came up with a new identity, and married the daughter of a woman they killed in the wilderness, needless to say they feel pretty suspicious of Melissa's motives. Things get especially dicey when everyone learns that Melissa sent Shauna a tape recording of one of their notorious wilderness feasts — some of the only actual evidence of their more heinous acts during their time stranded in the woods.

While Melissa's tied up (in her own home, I might add), she turns on the fireplace and keeps the flu closed. Tai and Shauna get CO2 poisoning while Van is outside, leaving Van to save them as quickly as possible. After rescuing her friends, Van unties Melissa to confront her, but can't bring herself to kill Melissa.

Much to everyone's surprise, Melissa doesn't take this mercy with kindness. She turns the knife on Van, stabbing and killing her. Much like Van's literal bleeding heart, I was broken after that.

Where did 'Yellowjackets' season 3 film?

Showtime

According to IMDB, Yellowjackets is filmed in British Columbia, Canada and Los Angeles.

Is 'Yellowjackets' based on a true story?

Showtime

No, Yellowjackets is (thankfully) not based on a true story!

There are plenty of things that make summer special, from the smell of salty ocean air to the touch of warm breezes and the gorgeous backdrops that golden sunsets paint on the sky each evening.

Lucy is a timeless name with Latin roots that means "light" or "bringer of light." It's derived from the male name Lucius and has a gentle yet strong sound that feels vintage chic.

August is derived from the name Augustus, meaning "great" or "to increase," and carries a sense of honor. It's historically tied to the Roman emperor Augustus, giving this name long-standing associations with influence and power.

With Spanish origins, Isla is a serene name for girls that means "island." Additionally, it has ties to the Isla River in northeastern Scotland, a waterway that's rich in fish.

How To Stream All 6 Episodes Of 'Black Mirror' Season 7 On Netflix

The best TV shows don't only entertain and inspire — they also make us reexamine the world we live in. And nobody is doing it like Black Mirror. Inspired in part by The Twilight Zone, this freaky Netflix show dives into a darker side of contemporary society, focusing on the doubts and hesitations we can all have when it comes to technology. Each episode of the gripping thriller is basically its own short movie, and the drama will have you on the edge of your seat the entire time because it's dealing with something we all use, and that familiarity makes it even spookier.

After Black Mirror season 6 (starring Annie Murphy, Myha'la Herrold, and Zazie Beetz) premiered in June of 2023, it became the most-watched streaming TV program in the US, and its popularity isn't slowing down anytime soon — especially with how stacked Netflix's Black Mirror season 7 cast is.

Here's everything you need to know about Black Mirror season 7, streaming on Netflix now.

Who's in Netflix's Black Mirror season 7 cast?

Netflix

The Black Mirror season 7 is one of its best yet. The lineup includes:

  • Awkwafina
  • Milanka Brooks
  • Peter Capaldi
  • Emma Corrin
  • Patsy Ferran
  • Paul Giamatti
  • Lewis Gribben
  • Osy Ikhile
  • Rashida Jones
  • Siena Kelly
  • Billy Magnussen
  • Rosy McEwen
  • Cristin Milioti
  • Chris O’Dowd
  • Issa Rae
  • Paul G. Raymond
  • Tracee Ellis Ross
  • Jimmi Simpson
  • Harriet Walter

Is there a 7th season of Black Mirror?

Netflix

Yes, Black Mirror season 7 is on Netflix now! And arguably the most-anticipated episode serves as a sequel to season 4's "USS Callister" starring Jesse Plemons, Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson, Michaela Coel, and Billy Magnussen.

The season 7 announcement came with a cryptic message on X. While the tweet itself simply reads "TCKR_Confidential_NotForDistribution.mp4," the video shows an 80s desktop computer rebooting — and for a brief moment you can see "Exit Game" flash across the screen, which makes me wonder if we're reaching the end of this hit series.

When in 2025 is Black Mirror coming out?

Parisa Tag/Netflix

The Black Mirror season 7 release date was April 10, 2025. That means you can watch all episodes now!

How many episodes are in season 7 of Black Mirror?

Netflix

There are six episodes in Black Mirror season 7:

  • Season 7, Episode 1, "Common People" premiered on April 10, 2025
  • Season 7, Episode 2, "Bête Noir" premiered on April 10, 2025
  • Season 7, Episode 3, "Hotel Reverie" premiered on April 10, 2025
  • Season 7, Episode 4, "Plaything" premiered on April 10, 2025
  • Season 7, Episode 5, "Eulogy" premiered on April 10, 2025
  • Season 7, Episode 6, "USS Callister: Into Infinity" premiered on April 10, 2025

Why is a Black Mirror called a Black Mirror?

Netflix

A Black Mirror refers to all of our screens when they're dark. Cell phones, laptops, televisions — they're all Black Mirrors. This makes the series even harder to shake once you've turned it off because you realize that, while the story is fictional, these Black Mirrors are actually around us, and with us, all the time. And ever since Black Mirror season 1, we've never looked at our screens the same way!

Colleen Hoover's 'Reminders Of Him' Movie Is On Its Way!

A new Colleen Hoover movie is in the works. Reminders of Him (which the author published in 2022) is getting the film treatment alongside It Ends With Us, Verity, and Regretting You — and we finally have our first cast member. Keep reading for the latest news on the movie, and check back here for updates as they're announced!

Here's everything we know about Colleen Hoover's Reminders of Him movie, coming to theaters February 13, 2026.

Who's in the Reminders of Him cast?

The Reminders of Him cast is shaping up to be pretty great. So far it we'll see:

  • Maika Monroe as Kenna Rowan: a woman who struggles to reconnect with her daughter after serving a prison sentence.
  • Tyriq Withers as Ledger: a bar owner who shows up for Kenna, and then starts to fall for her.

Who are the characters in Reminders of Him?

We're still waiting to hear the full Reminders of Him cast, but here's a rundown of the book characters:

  • Kenna Rowan: our lead character who spent five years in prison and longs to reconnect with her daughter Diem.
  • Ledger Ward: the local bar owner and a very important link between Kenna and Diem.
  • Scotty Landry: Diem's father and Kenna's first love.
  • Diem Landry: Kenna's daughter, who's four years old when Kenna gets out of prison.
  • Grace Landry: Diem's paternal grandmother and guardian.
  • Patrick Landry: Diem's paternal grandfather and guardian.
  • Benji Ward: Ledger's father.
  • Robin Ward: Ledger's mother.

What is Reminders of Him about?

Sony Pictures Releasing

Kenna Rowan made a tragic mistake — and just served five years in prison for it. When she finally returns home to her now four-year-old daughter, Kenna realizes just how much her mistake cost her, and wonders if she'll ever be able to redeem herself.

Bar owner Ledger is one of the only people who hasn't cut Kenna out, and as they form a connection, they realize their blossoming romance could risk everything.

Fans of the book are thrilled that this book is being adapted for the big screen. "I loved it. Cried a lot and I’m happy it’s also getting an adaptation!" one user wrote on Reddit, while another added, "I was captivated from the very beginning. It was a great book for me."

A third says, "Overall I loved the book, the ending was perfect, I wouldn’t change anything. But it was very predictable." Hey, sometimes we need a predictable happy ending!

When is Reminders of Him coming out?

Sony Pictures Releasing

Reminders of Him is coming to theaters February 13, 2026 so we'll see it next year!

We'll also see Verity in May of 2026! It's a great year for CoHo lovers.

Is Reminders of Him steamy?
