Oscar winner Anne Hathaway (Les Misérables) stars as a mom who falls for a much younger pop star after a chance meeting at Coachella in The Idea of You, based on the bestselling novel by Robinne Lee. The official trailer shows the meet-cute followed by the flirtatious period, which ultimately leads to a May-December romance.

The cast also includes Ella Rubin, Annie Mumolo, Reid Scott, Perry Mattfeld, Jordan Aaron Hall, and Mathilda Gianopoulos. Raymond Cham Jr., Jaiden Anthony, Viktor White, and Dakota Adan also star in the romantic drama set to premiere as the Closing Night Film at SXSW.

As they begin a whirlwind romance, it isn’t long before Hayes’ superstar status poses unavoidable challenges to their relationship, and Solène soon discovers that life in the glare of his spotlight might be more than she bargained for.”

A fan of founding father Benjamin Franklin is the center of events on Fox’s Alert: Missing Persons Unit season two episode two. “Benjamin Franklin” will air on Tuesday, March 12, 2024 at 9pm ET/PT.

Scott Caan stars as Jason Grant and Dania Ramirez is Nikki Batista. Ryan Broussard plays Mike Sherman, Adeola Role is Kemi Adebayo, and Alisha-Marie Ahamed is Wayne Pascal.

“Benjamin Franklin” Plot: The MPU searches for a Benjamin Franklin aficionado after he suspiciously disappears during one of his city tours.

Alert Series Description, Courtesy of Fox:

Alert: Missing Persons Unit is a procedural drama set in the Philadelphia Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit (MPU). Each episode features a heart-pounding, life-or-death search for a missing person headed by detectives Jason Grant and Nikki Batista. Together with the MPU team, their job is to find the missing or abducted and reunite them with their loved ones. Jason and Nikki, once married, have a very personal connection to these cases as their own young son went missing and was never found. The emotional toll of their son’s disappearance blew up their marriage, but even though they’ve moved on, their bond remains.

Nikki now runs MPU, where she and the team do for others what she wasn’t able to do for herself: bring a loved one back home. At MPU, she leads a highly skilled team, including her fiancé Mike Sherman, whom Nikki met when he was assigned to oversee the search for her son; Kemi Adebayo, a spiritually savvy detective with an astonishing knowledge base; and forensic anthropologist C (recurring guest star and newcomer Petey Gibson), who is a master at reconstructing the faces of those who have disappeared.

As the second season begins, the MPU team step into their new office in headquarters, where Jason and Nikki meet their new boss Inspector Hollis Braun (guest star Gil Bellows), who wants to keep a close eye on the team, particularly the unpredictable Jason Grant. Jason brings his old friend in to help with the case: master hacker Wayne Pascal, who he worked with in Afghanistan. Jason conveniently never told Nikki that Wayne was a woman (and a hot one!), which raises issues even as Nikki and Mike plan their wedding. Together, the team works to find the missing or abducted and help reunite them with their loved ones before it’s too late.

Upload starring Robbie Amell will have one more season to delve into its virtual reality afterlife world. Prime Video’s officially given the sci-fi comedy an order for a fourth and final season.

“When I conceived Upload many years ago, I had the story arced out over four seasons, so I am thrilled to make the ending the fans deserve and the characters and creative team have been working towards,” said series creator, writer, showrunner, and executive producer Greg Daniels (The Office). “Jen Salke and Vernon Sanders have been our Angels and they deserve 5 stars.”

In addition to Amell as Nathan, season three starred Andy Allo as Nora, Kevin Bigley as Luke, Allegra Edwards as Ingrid, Zainab Johnson as Aleesha, and Owen Daniels as A.I. Guy. Howard Klein and Jeff Blitz serve as executive producers.

“I’m thrilled to share that Upload will return to Prime Video for a fourth and final installment.

The series, which premiered in May 2020, is “set in a technologically advanced future where holographic phones, self-driving vehicles, AI assistance, and 3D food printers are the norm. And, forget about dying – instead, you’ll be ‘uploaded’ to a virtual reality afterlife and enjoy all the comforts of a world-class resort. Provided you can afford it.”

Season two debuted in May 2022, followed by season three in October 2023. Prime Video did not announce when fans can expect the fourth and final season to arrive.

Oscar nominee Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting) has joined the cast of Starz’s The Serpent Queen season two as ‘Virgin Queen’ Elizabeth I. Driver’s will be a recurring role, while Angus Imrie (Fleabag), Emma McDonald (Moonhaven), Stanley Morgan (The Sandman), and Philippine Velge (Station Eleven) have come on board as series regulars.

Season two will also include new recurring characters played by Rosalie Craig (1899), Isobel Jesper Jones (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), Bill Milner (Son of Rambow), Ashley Thomas (Them), and Alexandre Willaume (The Wheel of Time).

Samantha Morton returns to lead the cast as Catherine de Medici in the period drama based on Leonia Frieda’s Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France. Justin Haythe (Revolutionary Road) writes and executive produces the series, with Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games Franchise) and Erwin Stoff (Edge of Tomorrow) also serving as executive producers.

Starz released the following descriptions of new season two characters:

Minnie Driver joins as “Elizabeth I” the infamous ‘Virgin Queen.’ Elizabeth goes toe-to-toe with Catherine and is a woman of style, wit, and experience.
Angus Imrie joins as “Henry IV” the son of Antoine de Bourbon and Jeanne d’Albret, he appears uncivilized, to the unobservant observer but in reality, he is quite an intellect.
Emma McDonald joins as “Rahima” who viewers first met in season one. Rahima has grown in wit and confidence and now has assumed an important position in Catherine’s life.
Stanley Morgan joins as “Anjou” the younger brother of King Charles, who is non-conforming and capable of disruptive violence.
Philippine Velge joins as “Margot” Catherine’s eldest daughter, who is her polar opposite. Incredibly charming, liked by all and seeks the truth.
Rosalie Craig joins as “Jeanne d’Albret” the self-righteous and disapproving wife of Antonie de Bourbon.
Isobel Jesper Jones joins as “Edith,” a protestant preacher to a group of loyal followers.
Bill Milner joins as “King Charles IX” the oldest son of Catherine de Medici, and the now King of France. Not a boy, but not quite a man, he is anxious to play king and get it right.
Ashley Thomas joins as “Alessandro de Medici” a man possessed with great charisma and beauty and is the object of desire.
Alexandre Willaume joins as “Montmorency” the wise and humorless Constable General of France. He is a loyal and serious servant of the king.

Season two will premiere on Starz later this year.

The live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender has been renewed for seasons two and three, with Netflix announcing the upcoming seasons will wrap up the reimagining of the popular Nickelodeon series. The streaming service’s official announcement didn’t include a target premiere date.

Netflix’s very basic description of the upcoming seasons reads: “The live-action reimagining of the beloved animated series will return with a second and third season to conclude the epic story as the four nations unite – Water. Earth. Fire. Air. – to bring The Legend of Aang to its proper conclusion.”

Season one premiered on February 22, 2024 and pulled in 41.1 million views in its first 11 days. The story of a young boy with incredible powers ranked first among all English TV shows on the streaming service in 76 countries.

The eight-episode first season stars Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sooka, Dallas Liu as Crown Prince Zuko, Ken Leung as Commander Zhao, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Uncle Iroh, and Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai.

“Water. Earth. Fire. Air. The four nations once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the Air Nomads, the first step taken by the firebenders towards conquering the world. With the current incarnation of the Avatar yet to emerge, the world has lost hope. But like a light in the darkness, hope springs forth when Aang, a young Air Nomad — and the last of his kind — reawakens to take his rightful place as the next Avatar,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “Alongside his newfound friends Sokka and Katara, siblings and members of the Southern Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a fantastical, action-packed quest to save the world and fight back against the fearsome onslaught of Fire Lord Ozai.

But with a driven Crown Prince Zuko determined to capture them, it won’t be an easy task. They’ll need the help of the many allies and colorful characters they meet along the way.”
