A series based on Stephen King’s The Institute has been greenlit by MGM+, with Ben Barnes (Shadow and Bone) and Mary-Louise Parker (Angels in America) confirmed to star. Jack Bender is on board to direct and executive produce, with Benjamin Cavell writing and executive producing. Both have previously worked on Stephen King adaptations, with Bender adapting Mr. Mercedes and Cavell with King’s The Stand.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work again with Stephen King. And The Institute, based on his critically acclaimed novel, is an exciting addition to the MGM+ original series slate,” stated Michael Wright, head of MGM+. “There is no creative team I would trust more to bring the book to life than Jack and Ben, whose creative vision and love of Mr. King’s voice, will bring this thought-provoking and gut-wrenching story to life, in the engaging, cinematic, and thrilling style MGM+ viewers expect.”
Filming is expected to take place this year in Nova Scotia. Season one of the thriller will consist of eight episodes.
“I’m delighted and excited at the prospect of The Institute, with its high-intensity suspense, being filmed as a series,” said Stephen King. “The combination of Jack Bender and Ben Cavell guarantees that the results will be terrific.”
Commenting on the project, Bender said, “I’m thrilled that Stephen King has entrusted me with another of his brilliant novels and continuing the extraordinary creative relationship with Michael Wright and MGM+. Working alongside Ben Cavell and a team of exceptional writers to tell the story of these uniquely gifted children will ensure a suspenseful and engrossing series.”
“It is my great honor to have another chance to adapt Stephen King, who has been generous and collaborative beyond my wildest imaginings,” added Cavell. “Also, the opportunity to work with Jack Bender, who has directed some of my all-time favorite television, is truly a dream come true. I couldn’t be more grateful to Michael Wright and MGM for putting this team together.”
MGM+ released this description of the series:
When 12-year-old genius Luke Ellis is kidnapped, he awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who all got there the same way he did, and who are all possessed of unusual abilities. In a nearby town, haunted former police officer Tim Jamieson has come looking to start a new life, but the peace and quiet won’t last, as his story and Luke’s are destined to collide.
Tim Jamieson, played by Barnes, is a disillusioned ex-cop who takes a job as the night knocker in a small town, withdrawing from the world until Luke’s plight reignites him and gives him something to believe in.
Ms. Sigsby, played by Parker, is the charming but iron-willed director of the Institute and a true believer in its awful mission. She’s certain history will come to see her as a hero.
Dave Bautista bakes scones and buys his daughter a used burner phone in the trailer for Amazon MGM Studios’ My Spy The Eternal City. The action comedy, a sequel to 2020’s My Spy, reunites Bautista and Chloe Coleman for another family adventure from director Pete Segal.
Ken Jeong and Kristen Schaal also reprise their roles for the sequel. Newcomers include Flula Borg, Craig Robinson, Billy Barratt, Taeho K, and Anna Faris.
“My Spy The Eternal City reunites a beloved cast led by Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman in a feel-good family adventure set in some of Europe’s most storied destinations. When Sophie’s (Coleman) high school choir is selected for an Italian tour culminating in a performance for the Pope in Vatican City, JJ (Bautista) sees this as an opportunity to bond with his new stepdaughter, so he volunteers to help chaperone the group through the Venetian canals, across Florence’s renowned bridges and into Rome’s most historic sites,” reads Prime Video’s synopsis. “Instead, he finds that he and Sophie have become unwitting pawns in a terrorist plot that could end the world as we know it.”
Erich Hoeber, Jon Hoeber, and Pete Segal wrote the screenplay. Segal, Dave Bautista, Chris Bender, Jake Weiner, Robert Simonds, Gigi Pritzker, and Jonathan Meisner serve as producers.
The PG-13 action comedy streams on Prime Video on July 18, 2024.

Peacock’s TikTok Star Murders documentary takes a deep dive into the murders of Ana Abulaban and Rayburn Barron, committed by social media star Ali Abulaban. The documentary, airing on June 25, 2024, sheds light on aspects of the former TikTok personality’s life that weren’t shared publicly with his thousands of followers.
The documentary includes new interviews with friends and family members of Ali and Ana Abulaban. It also features never-before-aired cellphone footage and audio.

“Ali and Ana Abulaban have it all – great jobs, a beautiful young daughter, and the promise of stardom. A TikTok creator who gained popularity under the username JinnKid in late 2019, Ali is known for his viral Skyrim and Scarface comedic impressions, often featuring his beautiful wife, Ana. To his fans, Ali is talented, funny, charismatic, and has a picture-perfect relationship with the modelesque Ana. They seemingly have it all, but not everything online is as it seems. Under the surface is a relationship falling apart, full of domestic violence, and Ali is filming it – disturbing never-before-seen footage of private fights from his cell phone,” reads Peacock’s synopsis. “Narcissism, addiction, and crippling jealousy all play a role in Ali’s desire for control and fame, while Ana seeks independence and a happy life for her and her daughter.
The relationship disintegrates, and in October of 2021, the abuse takes a deadly turn that leaves two people dead, and another facing a lifetime behind bars.”
George Plamondon, Zak Weisfeld, Libby Richman, Elizabeth Fisher, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson executive produce. The documentary is produced by Lusid Media and G-Unit Films & Television, Inc.
On May 29, 2024, a San Diego jury found the former TikTok star guilty of two counts of 1st-degree murder. Ali is facing a possible life sentence, with the court scheduled to announce his sentencing on June 28th.

The Seven Kingdoms are on the verge of civil war when HBO’s House of the Dragon season two premieres on June 16, 2024. Queen Alicent misinterpreted King Viserys’ dying wish, resulting in the crown being stolen from his rightful heir, Princess Rhaenyra, and Aegon named the new king. That, followed by the murder of Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys, has Houses in the realm forced to take sides in what promises to be a very bloody war.
Even if you’re Team Black … which is where my allegiance clearly lies … it’s hard to root against Team Green. Well, it’s not difficult to dislike Ser Otto Hightower, but Aegon and Aemond aren’t responsible for the political machinations of the Hand of the King.
And speaking of choosing sides, Olivia Cooke (Alicent), Ewan Mitchell (Aemond), Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon), and Fabien Frankel (Criston Cole) were part of a three-part press conference hosted by HBO. The following are highlights from the Q&A which includes a question about the possibility fans might switch sides – even more than once – this season.
On Alicent’s growth from naïve young woman to a fierce power player:
Olivia Cooke: “I don’t know, it’s hard because I don’t see her as vicious. I sort of think she’s got a point a lot of the time. And she’s got to manipulate in order to get her point across, in order to steer these men away from chaos and implosion.
But yeah, in season one you definitely saw her as the naïve girl, and that indoctrination from her father has set in and she becomes this mini-Otto Hightower in a way. I think at the top of season two, she’s coming into her own power. She’s the most powerful she’s ever been as her son sits on the Iron Throne, and I think is sort of navigating her two full-grown sons, who are beginning to dismiss her more and more.”

On Aegon’s journey from reluctant eldest son to King of the Seven Kingdoms:
Tom Glynn-Carney: “It has been kind of exciting to sort of work it out with Aegon as he’s been working out. I think it was important to me to find somewhere to go with Aegon. And we’d see him at the start of season two with a little bit more of a spring in his step. He’s sort of walking two inches higher than he would have usually been. He’s stepped into these kingly shoes with – well, with enthusiasm, I think. We see a little shift in him at the end of season one. And with a small minor hiccup with Rhaenys, but we’ll ignore that. Yeah, we’re on to greener pastures.
[…] We’re just sort of seeing where that goes. And, I mean, the guy’s riddled with insecurities and vulnerabilities and everything that kind of fractures a person. We’ll see how long he holds together.”
On how Aemond’s insecurities and struggle to find his place within his own family influence his actions in season two:
Ewan Mitchell: “I think, yeah, it’s that drive that he possesses. He was the only kid in the family who wasn’t given a dragon egg growing up. He was on the back foot and there’s this dynamic that as the person grows, so does the hatchling and they’re very much extensions of each other. Aemond was different and he didn’t get an egg, and he was bullied for being different.
You’ve got the oldest, baddest, hardened dragon in the known world in Vhagar. She’s like so enormous she can’t fit within the confines of any castle wall. And that’s similar to Aemond. He can’t fit in anywhere either. And so, they’re able to identify with each other.
That idea of standing in the face of adversity, a 10-year-old claiming this behemoth, it’s a tremendous feat of courage. And this drive is very evident in that. Going into season two you’re going to see that drive continue, and it’s going to be scary.”
On Criston Cole’s darkness coming to the forefront in season two:
Fabien Frankel: “ You know, I can’t remember who it was, someone said to me at the end of last year – I think it was Sara – she was like, ‘I hope you’re looking forward to being the most hated character on television.’ So, let’s see. But I do think… – I’m not gonna speak anymore. I’m not saying anything else. I won’t. For me, that’s all.”
On the possibility of fans switching sides between Team Green and Team Black in season two:
Tom Glynn-Carney: “Well, yeah, you’d hope so. You’d hope that the narrative is still malleable, and people can swap and change. The idea is that, well, for me anyway, the idea is that you could watch one episode and be Team Black and then watch a different episode and be Team Green. But that’s the excitement of it, the unpredictability of it.”
Olivia Cooke: “I mean, we’re so biased at this point. We sort of bleed green and we have loads of fun.”
On why George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world continues to captivate audiences:
Ewan Mitchell: “I think the first season was shot over a long period of time during circumstances that the whole world felt. We were kind of plunged into the unknown with the pandemic. And so, I think it’s brilliant that HBO was able to give back a world to the audience that they did know. Instead of being surrounded in this world of unknown, you know a Targaryen is going to be a Targaryen; you know a Baratheon is going to be a Baratheon. And I think it is that familiarity that during uncertain times it was certainly something our audience members could hold onto.”

On keeping track of their places in the story as the season goes along:
Fabien Frankel: “[It’s] very good continuity people who tell us pretty much where we are at each point. […] You can always go to the monitor and you’ll find Tessa (Kimbell) there, who’s our script supervisor, chewing gum. She’ll tell us exactly what’s just happened, what’s about to happen. Because you know you shoot it completely out of order. So, it’s very useful. And then just hope that you’ve not like completely forgotten that you’re supposed to be out of breath, which I didn’t do in episode three.”
Tom Glynn-Carney: “I think it’s useful, in terms of knowing your whole character arc, it’s always useful for me to have some form of timeline. So, to read the scripts and take out those sort of landmark moments that you know are gearshifts in your character’s progress. And yeah, just to kind of remember where those are and how they shift you and what decisions, how that informs your decisions as you play the character. But also, it’s just […] rolling with the scenes, just being present in the scenes. It kind of does its own job, if you just let it happen.
Yeah, without the help of Tess and our script supervisors, that continuity team and all, we’d be lost in the woods somewhere.”

In the new season of Evil, Kristen, David and Ben continue to assess cases that involve wayward technology, possessed pigs, demonic oppression and infestation, a dance muse conjured by alleged witches and an evil relic. Throughout, Leland attempts to lure Kristen into raising a baby antichrist who was conceived with her ovum. David is recruited by the Vatican’s secret service to “remote view” a paranormal ability to see the unseen in order to detect evil. Ben is hit by an ion beam, causing him to see visions of a taunting jinn until he discovers an unusual solution to banish it.
Finally, all three realize they only have a few weeks left to assess cases because the parish has decided to disband the team due to a lack of funds. This culminates in one last confrontation with Leland and the 60 families that make up Evil in the modern world.

A lost robot bonds with forest creators and becomes a protective mother to an orphaned duckling in DreamWorks Animation’s second The Wild Robot trailer. Based on Peter Brown’s New York Times bestseller, the animated action-adventure opens in theaters on September 27, 2024.
Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o voices the robot who becomes one with nature. Pedro Pascal voices the fox Fink; Catherine O’Hara voices opossum Pinktail; Bill Nighy as goose Longneck; Kit Connor voices gosling Brightbill; and Stephanie Hsu voices Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island. Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames also lend their voices to animated characters.
“The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, ‘Roz’ for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling,” reads DreamWorks Animation.
Three-time Oscar nominee Chris Sanders adapted Brown’s award-winning book and directs. Jeff Hermann serves as a producer.
Bridgerton fans will be treated to Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Demi Lovato covers when season three part two premieres on June 13, 2024. Composer Kris Bowers incorporated Grande’s “POV,” Lovato’s “Confident,” Swift’s “You Belong With Me,” and Ellie Goulding’s “Lights” into episodes five through eight.
“It’s a much more lighthearted feeling, I think, overall,” said Bowers. “There’s obviously the ups and downs that we always have in this show. But with Colin and Pen being friends, with a lot of their interactions having a bit of awkwardness to them — and within this season there are so many stories that we dip into — there’s a lot of fun and lightness that we experience with the music and comedic moments.”
The third #Polin-centric season features the franchise’s first original song, “All I Want,” from songwriters Rogét Chahayed, Wesley Singerman, Taylor Dexter, and Nicole Cohen. Tori Kelly performed the song at the Bridgerton fan wedding, and Bowers arranged an orchestral version for season three episode eight.
