Carey Mulligan Carey Mulligan wore all the orange Beef’s second season debuts today on Netflix. It is my weekend watch, for sure. There was a screening last night in New York, and everyone wore grey except Carey Mulligan, who showed up in traffic cone orange velvet. I don’t think I like it but it’s SO By Sarah • Apr 16, 2026 01:34 pm

Jean Smart Jean and Hannah: A Fifth and Final Premiere You can mock me for this admission, because I deserve it: I came to Hacks late, like didn’t start watching until mid-way through when season three was airing. And even then it took me a while to start season two after I finished season one. See? A dumbass, please By Lainey • Apr 09, 2026 11:48 am
What Else The Plums in NYC The Testaments premieres tomorrow on Hulu and Disney+ in Canada, starring Chase Infiniti as Agnes but if you’ve read Margaret Atwood’s book, you know who she really is.

TV Updates Lindsay and Shailene are liars Lindsay Lohan and Shailene Woodley are currently shooting the series Count My Lies, based on the book by Sophia Stava.

Chase Infiniti So much more Chase One Battle After Another was (most of) our introduction to Chase Infiniti, the film’s breakout star. It was a huge opportunity for her – her first movie, a Paul Thomas Anderson project no less, alongside multiple Oscar winners, that would go on to win the Best Picture Oscar.

Modernised for today’s world, I guess you could paraphrase it, “Reboots Are Whores’ Series”. Too much? Too strong for this early in the day, or to be associated with the recently-murdered Buffy reboot? Not at all. If anything, By Duana • Mar 18, 2026 01:28 pm
TV Updates Madonna joins The Studio Though The Studio mopped up pretty much every major award for a comedy series during the 2025-26 awards season, I don’t think this show is actually THAT popular. Like it’s not Ted Lasso, an Apple TV+ series we can say with confidence “everyone” watched. Ted Lasso had a By Sarah • Mar 17, 2026 10:03 am
TV Updates Beef has a more subtle flavor this time Beef is back, baby! And no, this has nothing to do with the McDonald’s CEO eating a burger weird, but with the Netflix anthology series Beef, created by Lee Sung Jin.
