All topics ↗A returning actor, a teaser and a renewal are three different developments. These briefings explain what a production or broadcaster has actually announced, identify the reporting behind casting claims, and keep trailers separate from reviews of finished work. Regional release dates belong to the market named in each source.

His note acknowledges the split response on day two; it does not claim the reviews were universally positive or that the film has already succeeded long-term.
Radio Times has the first-look images for Leo Reich's Channel 4 comedy It Gets Worse. The six-part A24 series follows three former university friends facing eviction in London; Lena Dunham, Blake Harrison and Amelia Dimoldenberg are among the guests, not the core trio.
