HBO’s shared the official trailer for My Brilliant Friend‘s fourth and final season. Renewed in 2022, the fourth season will premiere on September 9, 2024 at 9pm ET/PT. New episodes will air on Mondays.
Season four is based on the fourth book of Elena Ferrante’s quadrilogy, My Brilliant Friend: The Story Of The Lost Child.
“My Brilliant Friend follows Elena Greco and the most important friend in her life, Raffaella ‘Lila’ Cerullo. After meeting as children in 1950s Naples, their story goes on to cover over 60 years, exploring the mystery of Lila – Elena’s brilliant best friend and, in a way, her worst enemy,” reads HBO’s synopsis. “The fourth installment of the saga, titled ‘Story of the Lost Child,’ delves into the adult lives of Elena and Lila. They find themselves entangled in the turmoil of Italy in the late 1980s, nearing the end of decades of political violence and social unrest. Amid motherhood and career demands, amid betrayals, threats, disappearances, and natural disasters, Elena and Lila once again reside in the same neighborhood.”
Season four stars Alba Rohrwacher as Elena Greco/Lenù, Irene Maiorino as Raffaella Cerullo/Lila, Fabrizio Gifuni as Nino Sarratorea, Stefano Dionisi as Franco Mari, and Anna Rita Vitolo as Immacolata. Pier Giorgio Bellocchio plays Pietro Airota, Daria Deflorian is Adele Airota, Lino Musella is Marcello Solara, Eduardo Scarpetta is Pasquale Peluso, Edoardo Pesce is Michele Solara, and Sonia Bergamasco is Maria Rosa Airota.
Author Elena Ferrante, Francesco Piccolo, Laura Paolucci, and Saverio Costanzo wrote the screenplays, with Laura Bispuri directing. Executive producers include Paolucci, Saverio Costanzo, Paolo Sorrentino, Jennifer Schuur, Elena Recchia, and Guido De Laurentiis.
Season two of Netflix’s sports documentary series Sprint will continue spotlighting the journeys of world-class sprinters through the trials and the Paris 2024 Olympics. The new season focuses on Noah Lyles, Gabby Thomas, Fred Kerley, Kishane Thompson, Julien Alfred, and Letsile Tebogo. Melissa Jefferson, Twanisha Terry, Marcell Jacobs, Kenny Bednarek, Shericka Jackson, and Oblique Seville will also be featured in season two.
“Following athletes from all over the world, this series delves deep into the psyches of those elite competitors who train to be the fastest person on the planet,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “We take an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the high stakes, and mental toughness of the sprinters who devote their entire lives to crossing the finish line in record time, where their professional futures are decided in just fractions of a second.”
The six-episode first season debuted on July 2, 2024, ahead of the Olympics, with footage shot during the 2023 World Championships. Sprint season two will premiere on November 13th.

Season six will air in 2025.
“Over the last few seasons, stations have realized that The Drew Barrymore Show is like no other series in daytime, bringing Drew’s brand of positivity and ad-friendly content to viewers on a consistent basis,” said Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures. “Many of these upgrades now pair Drew with a CBS Mornings lead-in, which has proven to be a powerful combination. This season, in markets where Drew airs at 9:00 AM, its ratings are +21% higher among total viewers when CBS Mornings is the lead-in.”
Barrymore and Jason Kurtz serve as executive producers.
“Drew is a one-of-a-kind talent who is an integral part of the CBS and Paramount family,” added McMahon. “This early renewal and upgrades are a testament to our commitment to The Drew Barrymore Show and its loyal audience, who tune in every day to see Drew’s warmth, inquisitiveness, and spontaneity.”

FX will release all nine-episodes of the limited series Say Nothing on Hulu on November 14, 2024. Created by Joshua Zetumer (RoboCop), the drama is based on Patrick Radden Keefe’s bestseller, which made the New York Times‘ 100 Best Books of the 21st Century list.
“Say Nothing is a gripping story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. Spanning four decades, the series opens with the shocking disappearance of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten who was abducted from her home in 1972 and never seen alive again,” reads FX’s synopsis. “Telling the story of various Irish Republican Army (IRA) members, Say Nothing explores the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply divided society can suddenly tip over into armed conflict, the long shadow of radical violence for all affected, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence.”
The nine-episode series stars Lola Petticrew (Tuesday) as Dolours Price and Hazel Doupe (Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale) as Marian Price, the young women who became potent symbols of radical politics. Anthony Boyle (The Plot Against America) plays Brendan Hughes, described as a charismatic but conflicted military strategist. Josh Finan (The Gentlemen) is Gerry Adams, a leading political operator who would go on to negotiate peace and has always denied having any involvement with the IRA.
The Theory of Everything‘s Maxine Peake plays the older Dolours Price.
Author Patrick Radden Keefe is involved as an executive producer. Additional executive producers include Zetumer, Edward McDonnell, Michael Lennox, and Color Force’s Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson.
Fox’s new drama Rescue: HI-Surf is helping real open-water lifeguards get the designation they deserve by supporting the “Lifeguards First” campaign. The series is teaming up with the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) to host rallies and hold letter-writing campaigns to have open-water lifeguards designated as official emergency response providers.
“Our new action-drama Rescue: HI-Surf captures the incredible skill and bravery of open-water lifeguards, and every episode is inspired by the heroic, real-life first responders who save lives every day under seemingly impossible conditions,” stated Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network. “But through our work on this series, we were troubled to learn that despite their essential, courageous work, they are not considered Emergency First Responders in most places and don’t receive the recognition and benefits they deserve.”
USLA and Fox are hosting a rally on the Jersey Shore on August 24th and in Los Angeles on August 31st. Per Fox, the events will feature special appearances by the cast, shaved ice trucks, and photo opps. For more details, visit the official rhsfirstresponders.com website.
“The USLA is excited to collaborate with FOX in rallying Congressional Co-Sponsors for House Concurrent Resolution 41, which will recognize open water lifeguards as official emergency response providers,” said Peter Davis, President of the USLA. “This vital measure will ensure that lifeguards across the nation are acknowledged as first responders, granting them the respect and benefits commensurate with their critical role in public safety.”
Fox’s new drama stars Robbie Magasiva (Wentworth), Arielle Kebbel (Midnight, Texas), Adam Demos (Sex / Life), Kekoa Kekumano (The White Lotus), Alex Aiono (Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin), and Zoe Cipres (Roswell, New Mexico). Recurring guest stars include Sea Shimooka (3 Body Problem), Shawn Hatosy (Animal Kingdom), and Ian Anthony Dale (The Resident).
“Rescue: HI-Surf follows the personal and professional lives of the heavy-water lifeguards who patrol and protect the North Shore of O’ahu—the most famous and dangerous stretch of coastline in the world,” reads Fox’s synopsis. “Each episode will feature these dedicated, heroic and adrenaline-seeking first-responders saving lives in the difficult and often life-threatening conditions of Hawaii’s Seven Mile Miracle.”
Matt Kester created the series and serves as an executive producer and co-showrunner with John Wells and Daniele Nathanson. Wells directed the first two episodes, and Kester and Nathanson are writers. (Kester wrote the season premiere.)
The action drama kicks off with a two-night premiere on September 22nd and 23rd.

The Megalopolis trailer moves viewers no closer to understanding Francis Ford Coppola’s self-financed, decades in the making epic drama. (Update below.) However, the fact that it promotes bad reviews of Coppola’s films that have stood the test of time is an interesting choice, to say the least.
What’s even more interesting is that Vulture’s Bilge Ebiri has written a piece pointing out that many of the quotes, including those by Pauline Kael and Andrew Sarris, don’t appear to actually exist. (Ebiri’s well-researched article is a must-read.) Ebiri also points out that the intent is unknown. Was it done because it was assumed no one would look up the original reviews or to push those willing to make the effort into reading these particular reviews? Either way, it’s stirred up a conversation around the trailer, resulting in more people pushing play than might have otherwise.
UPDATE: Not long after the trailer was released, Lionsgate pulled it and issued an apology. Their statement: “Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for Megalopolis. We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry.”
Poster for Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Megalopolis’
Megalopolis stars Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, and Laurence Fishburne. Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, Kathryn Hunter, Grace VanderWaal, Chloe Fineman, James Remar, D.B. Sweeney, and Dustin Hoffman also star.
“Megalopolis is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina, a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare,” reads Lionsgate’s synopsis. “Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero, the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.”
Francis Ford Coppola wrote, produced, and directed the film, with Fred Roos, Barry Hirsch, and Michael Bederman also producing.
Lionsgate’s set a September 27, 2024 theatrical release date.
It’s all about accepting our differences, finding ways to connect, and coming together as friends in the new Wicked featurette. The musical’s director Jon M. Chu (In the Heights) talks about the bond between Elphaba and Glinda, and the chemistry between Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the latest behind-the-scenes video.
In addition to Grande and Erivo, the musical stars Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University’s regal headmistress Madame Morrible; Jonathan Bailey (Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, a roguish and carefree prince; Tony nominee Ethan Slater (Fosse/Verdon) as Boq, an altruistic Munchkin student; Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut as Nessarose, Elphaba’s favored sister; and pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz.
Plus, Emmy nominee Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) and Bronwyn James (Harlots) star as Pfannee and ShenShen, two conniving compatriots of Glind; a new character created for the film, Miss Coddle, is played by Tony nominee Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman), and four-time Emmy winner Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) is the voice of Dr. Dillamond.
Wicked opens in theaters on November 22, 2024 followed by Part Two on November 26, 2025.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony-winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
