When The Last of Us premiered in 2023, the video game adaptation was instantly one of the most beloved adaptations of its kind in history. The HBO series faithfully told the story of the first game, and now, we’ve got our first look at what might be coming in season 2.

That includes glimpses of new characters introduced in the sequel to the game, The Last of Us Part 2, including Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), a famously divisive character who will be central to the story moving forward. The trailer also gives us glimpses of Ellie and Joel’s life in Wyoming, and picks up five years after the events of the first game. On top of all that, we also get a glimpse at more clickers than we ever saw during the show’s first season.

Season 2 is expected to drop sometime in the first half of 2025, but an exact premiere date remains up in the air. For now, then, fans will just have to poor over this first glimpse, which also gives us a look at Isabella Merced’s Dina, Catherine O’Hara in an undisclosed role, and Jeffrey Wright reprising the role of Isaac, which he also played in the game.

Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann return to the show as writers and executive producers on the second season, and each of them also directed episodes of the new season. Without spoiling what’s in store in the second season, the trailer gives us a sense of just how intense the show is going to get. If you thought season one was a lot, you aren’t ready for what’s coming.

Disney is about to make a subscription to Disney+ even more enticing. Reporting suggests that Disney+ will add a new tile to the streaming service beginning in December that has content from ESPN. The company will reportedly add some live sporting events as well as some ESPN shows to Disney+, even for those who don't subscribe to ESPN+.

The change will be implemented on Dec. 4, and the new title will allow people who subscribe to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+  “full access to all of the ESPN+ sports content they love while inside Disney+, similar to the experience we offer bundle subscribers with Hulu on Disney+,” CEO Bob Iger and CFO Hugh Johnston said in commentary provided with the September quarterly results.

Hacks season 4: Everything we know so far
What can you expect from Hacks season 4?
Jean Smart in Hacks Season 3

Hacks is probably the best show you aren't watching. Through three seasons, this little gem on Max has developed into a powerhouse of emotional resonance, comedy, and female camaraderie. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder star as Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels, the former a washed-up stand-up comedian who needs a boost and the latter a Millenial writer who can't get her material to stick. Together, Deborah and Ava form a dynamic duo and start to affect each other's lives in much deeper ways than they ever imagined.

Hacks walked away from this year's Emmy Awards with more than one trophy, and it was very deserving. The chemistry between cast members and creative storytelling is second to none right now in the comedy category. With the third season in the rearview mirror, it's time to think about Hacks season 4! Here is everything we know about the fourth outing so far.
What will Hacks season 4 be about?
Hacks season 4 should pick up right where we left off after a cliffhanger for the ages. Deborah achieved her ultimate success last season when she realized her lifelong goal of becoming a late-night talk show host. Unfortunately for Ava, Deborah believes her program will stand a better chance at renewal with a male head writer. She demotes Ava, a huge stab in the back to her younger comedic partner, who has been endlessly supportive even when it works against her self-interests.

Jenna Ortega and the cast of Wednesday.

Lady Gaga's acting career has been pretty impressive to date, and she's about to add another credit to her resume. Variety is reporting that the pop star will be featured in the second season of Wednesday. The role is not expected to be major, but the exact details of it are being kept under wraps. The second season is currently filming in Ireland. Sources say that the show's producers tried to recruit Gaga for a more significant role, but that didn't ultimately work out.

Gaga's acting career started almost a decade ago with roles in multiple series American Horror Story and eventually went on to roles in A Star Is Born, House of Gucci, and most recently, Joker: Folie a Deux.
