Fire Country Synopsis, Courtesy of CBS:

Fire Country stars Max Thieriot as Bode Leone, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region. It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son until his troubles began.

Years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption with Cal Fire.

A24’s launched the first teaser for Eddington ahead of its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. The trailer doesn’t give away much but does confirm writer/director Ari Aster’s (Beau is Afraid) latest feature is sure to stir up feelings/controversy. One commenter on YouTube wrote, “I expect nothing but calm and rational discussions about this movie going forward.” (Too bad sarcasm doesn’t have a designated font.)

The contemporary Western stars a bevy of big names, including Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Austin Butler, and Emma Stone. Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, and Micheal Ward also star.

“In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Phoenix) and mayor (Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico,” reads A24’s synopsis.

Eddington opens in theaters on July 18, 2025.

The teaser for CBS’s FBI: International season four episode 18 shows Wes concerned the team’s walked straight into a trap. Directed by Steve Robin, episode 18 will air on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at 9pm ET/PT.

Jesse Lee Soffer stars as Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell, Carter Redwood plays Special Agent Andre Raines, Vinessa Vidotto is Special Agent Cameron Vo, Eva-Jane Willis is Europol Agent Megan “Smitty” Garretson, and Christina Wolfe plays Special Agent Amanda Tate.

“Lone Wolf” Plot: The Fly Team heads to the country of Georgia to determine the motive behind an attack that targeted two American soldiers at a NATO-Georgia joint training center before it turns into an international incident. Meanwhile, a supervisory position opens in another FBI division in Europe, and Mitchell encourages both Vo and Raines to apply. Guest stars include Jay Hayden and Moe Irvin.

FBI: International Details, Courtesy of CBS:

FBI: International is the third iteration of the successful FBI brand that follows the elite operatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s International Fly Team. Headquartered in Budapest, they travel throughout Europe with the mission of tracking and neutralizing threats against American citizens wherever they may be, putting their lives on the line to protect the U.S. and its people. Newly embedded to the Fly Team is charming and rakish Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell, whose impeccable instincts and unconventional tactics deepen his drive to stop at nothing to achieve justice.

Special Agent Andre Raines shines in the field and makes good use of his accounting background in tracking criminal enterprises’ moving money. Special Agent Cameron Vo, a competitive West Point grad, excels at interrogation and strategy, and Megan “Smitty” Garretson, a streetwise Europol agent with an extensive undercover background, uses her expertise to liaise with each host country they inhabit. Special Agent Amanda Tate, a confident and tech-savvy intel analyst, stays quick on her feet and remains calm in the midst of chaos. Always at the scene where American interests are at risk, FBI: International is a globe-trotting depiction of law enforcement overseas.

Lionsgate’s unveiled new character posters for the R-rated suspense thriller Hurry Up Tomorrow. Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, stars in and co-wrote the screenplay, and apparently the film finds the four-time Grammy winner playing a version of himself.

“This experience was really introspective and cathartic for me,” stated Tesfaye in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “From writing to production and through post — I realized just how much of a catalyst this art form can be for conversations about our emotions, mental health, and vulnerabilities.”

The film also stars Jenna Ortega (Wednesday, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) and Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inisherin). Tesfaye, Ortega, and Keoghan are featured on the just-released red and black character posters.

Lionsgate’s very basic synopsis reads, “A musician plagued by insomnia is pulled into an odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence.” Trey Edward Shults (It Comes at Night) directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with Tesfaye and Reza Fahim. Tesfaye, Fahim, Kevin Turen, and Harrison Kreiss serve as producers.

Lionsgate has set a May 16, 2025 theatrical release date for the thriller that shares a title with The Weeknd’s sixth album.
