Here's A First Look At Meryl Streep As Miranda Priestly In "The Devil Wears Prada 2," And More TV And Movie News You Need To Know
This week in Screen Time, my brain is consumed by how much I loved Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. I also share what's all over my FYP — like Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson reuniting for a movie — and what we've got going on over on BuzzFeed Celeb's YouTube channel, plus so much more. Listen, I even find time to explain who THE best TV ships are, according to me. Thanks for joining me! The Fantastic Four: First Steps — watch for: Vanessa Kirby. A new Marvel woman I would die for. In theaters now The Fantastic Four: First Steps finally brings Marvel's first family to the MCU. The movie doesn't spend time on origins, and instead drops you right into the action of the Fantastic Four facing the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) and Galactus (Ralph Ineson). The dynamic between Reed (Pedro Pascal), Sue (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny (Joseph Quinn), and Ben (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) is everything I could've wished for. While each of them is great, it's Vanessa as Sue who is the heart of the film. Her portrayal of motherhood is spectacular and endearing. So, basically, Vanessa, welcome to the club of Marvel women I would die for. Plus, when she and Pedro have moments together, you can see the love behind their eyes that really solidifies the Reed-Sue dynamic. And it's just a visually cool movie from director Matt Shakman, the mind behind WandaVision. They finally got the Fantastic Four right on screen, and it poetically took exactly four tries. The Gilded Age — watch for: Honestly? Stunning costumes, wild storylines, and a great cast Streaming on HBO Max; new episodes every Sunday As someone who watched Downton Abbey religiously every week, The Gilded Age is a show that feels like it was made in a lab specifically for me. Created by Julian Fellowes, who also created Downton, the show is set in NYC during the 1880s and follows the social scene and conflicts that arise between old money and new money in the city. While the show started off as a guilty pleasure watch for most, with its current third season, it has found its footing and become one of the best shows you might not be watching. Anchored by riveting performances from Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Taissa Farmiga, Denée Benton, Louisa Jacobson, and more, each episode of this new season has been better than the last. So, yes, my comfort show right now consists of living in 1880s NYC, and I am totally okay with that. Severance — watch for: Once-in-a-lifetime performances from the entire cast Streaming on Apple TV+ Leading into this year's Emmy Awards in September, I figured I would spotlight the Emmy-nominated shows that you should watch (or rewatch) before then. So, we're starting off with Severance, which has the most nominations with 27! This brilliant series follows the employees of Lumon, who have elected to have a procedure that splits their personalities in half. Their 'innie' exists only at work, while their 'outie' lives out their personal lives outside of work. I genuinely believe this is one of the greatest (and smartest) TV shows airing right now. With brilliant performances from literally everyone in this cast, like Adam Scott, Britt Lower, and Tramell Tillman, to name a few, you're honestly missing out if you're NOT watching. Please, join me in worship at the altar of Lumon (and Helly R.). These are some of my favorite things from my FYP, feed, and more: My entire feed this week has been flooded with Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson. Twenty-two years after starring as Pacey and Joey on Dawson's Creek, the duo is currently filming Happy Hours, a romance movie written and directed by Holmes. The photos of them smiling and laughing while filming in NYC caused widespread panic on my feeds because, yes, Katie and Joshua really do have the best chemistry ever committed to film. At the end of the day, all we want is new projects starring actors who have unmatched chemistry. See: what Nora Ephron did with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, or even what Mike Flanagan does. And in other filming news, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has begun filming in NYC, which means we've been able to catch glimpses of Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep, Simone Ashley, and more filming, and I'm honestly getting more and more excited. Not only did Anne post from her first day back, but the minute photos of Meryl as THE Miranda Priestly hit the internet, it's all anyone could talk about. And can you blame them? LOOK AT HER: This week, over on BuzzFeed Celeb, the I Know What You Did Last Summer cast — Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Sarah Pidgeon, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, and Gabbriette Bechtel — swung by to compete in a game of Cast Wars, aka a trivia game about themselves. Right out of the gate, things got competitive when Chase, Tyriq, and Gabbriette named their team "Pogues for Life," and it only got more hilariously wild from there. We tested them on each other's past roles, like Sarah's turn in The Wilds, as well as the OG IKWYDLS movie, like what was the color of Helen's dress? Watch it all now: Where I answer YOUR questions about TV, movies, fandom, and more: Question: Who are your top five TV ships of all time? If there's one thing you need to know about me, I live and die by the ships I love that have become part of my personality. I have very strong opinions about which sides of love triangles are correct. I often tweet and flail over my unyielding love of characters who make me swoon. This question was made for me. I also stand by all of my picks. Coming up with a top five is hard, but I think I feel confident in this list: 1. Nathan and Haley from One Tree Hill 2. Mark and Lexie from Grey's Anatomy 3. Glenn and Maggie from The Walking Dead 4. Caroline and Klaus from The Vampire Diaries 5. Waverly and Nicole from Wynonna Earp And we're continuing the discussion over here: Tell me who YOUR top five TV ships of all time are! Well, that's all I've got for this week's edition of Screen Time. Come back every week to get more TV and movie recommendations, find out which celebs we're working with, and so much more!

'Resident Alien' Canceled in Shocking Move Ahead of Season 4 Finale, Cast and Creator React to the 'Disappointing' News
Stars Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko and Corey Reynolds reacted to the "disappointing turn of events" on social media Fans of Resident Alien just got some bad news. On Thursday, July 24, Chris Sheridan, the creator and showrunner of the SyFy turned USA Network series, revealed to TV Insider that the show's currently-airing fourth season will be its last. Though the news came as a big surprise to fans of the series, which is based on Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse's comic of the same name, it was less of a shock to Sheridan. 'I knew going into it that this was likely going to be our final season,' he told TV Insider. The showrunner's hunch that season 4 would be the show's last led him to make some creative decisions that would tidy things up. He told the outlet that it was " to go into the season knowing it was likely the show's last, "because I knew we could spend the time wrapping up some storylines and driving toward an ending." "I'm so proud of how good season 4 is and especially proud that we were able to finish as strongly as we did," he continued. Sheridan also teased that the season 4 finale, which is now the series finale, "is probably my favorite episode of the series." The cast is also reacting to the sad news and reflecting on their experiences on the show. In a post on Threads, Alan Tudyk, who played the alien masquerading as Colorado doctor Harry Vanderspeigle, wrote, "It was a hell of a fun playground to play in. Laughter through the tears:)))" Corey Reynolds, who plays Sheriff Mike Thompson, called Resident Alien the "best job I ever had" in a post on Threads and admitted the cancellation news is "definitely a disappointing turn of events." "Frankly, I would've been happy playing, Sheriff Mike 'Big Black' Thompson, for the rest of my life 🤠," he wrote. "But, if there is an upside here, it's that we were somewhat prepared for this, so you the fans, will still get a complete story." Like Sheridan, he teased that the final episodes of the show are worth the wait and will give the story a proper "end." Star Sara Tomko shared a lengthy statement in response to the cancellation news, as she said the show "changed my life." In an Instagram post, Tomko, 41, who has played Asta Twelvetrees, admitted that it will "take time for me to process and digest this fully" as she shared a carousel of photos with her castmates and from set. "I will definitely be sharing BTS photos of our many years together in time," she wrote. "For now, I can say with a full heart that this show changed my life completely," her lengthy caption continued. "Every season we were told how lucky we were to still have a job and I can say with full certainty that luck had nothing to do with it because this cast, our chemistry, our crew, our circumstances, our strength was always held up by an incredible team of writers, producers and our ever-growing fans whose unwavering loyalty kept us enduring." "I will never forget this time in my life nor the effect this show had on all of us. Thank you for your love and support," Tomko added. Like Sheridan and Reynolds, she ended her post by teasing a great last three episodes of the show. "Join us as we make our way to the grand finale," she wrote.
