‘White Lotus' ‘incest scene' actors Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola snubbed by Emmys 2025 — and more
The TV Academy revealed the 2025 Emmy nominations on Tuesday, with the most nods going to 'Severance,' 'The Penguin, 'The White Lotus' and 'The Studio.'
Adam Scott, Kristen Bell, Jean Smart, Colin Farrell, Pedro Pascal, Kathy Bates, Noah Wyle, and Kathryn Hahn are among the nominated actors.
But a number of other performers were snubbed from the nominations list, including 'The White Lotus' stars Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola, who made headlines for their turns as the incestuous Ratliff brothers.

Schwarzenegger, 31, was predicted to score a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series leading up to the reveal on Tuesday, but both he and Nivola, 21, were shut out of the category.
Their co-stars Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs and Sam Rockwell were all nominated in the supporting actor drama series category, alongside three 'Severance' stars and James Marsden for 'Paradise.'

Ironically, Schwarzenegger and Nivola are both nepo babies. Schwarzenegger is the son of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, while Nivola's parents are Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola.
Schwarzenegger and Nivola's on-screen sister Sarah Catherine Hook, who played Piper Ratliff, was snubbed as well.
'The White Lotus' ladies Leslie Bibb and Michelle Monaghan also missed out on nominations, but their bestie Carrie Coon scored a nod in the supporting actress drama series category with co-stars Parker Posey, Aimee Lou Wood and Natasha Rothwell.

Despite the multiple snubs, the third season of the HBO hit still racked up 23 nominations.
In the lead actor drama category, Jon Hamm and Diego Luna both missed out on nominations for their respective roles in Apple TV+'s 'Your Friends and Neighbors' and Disney+'s 'Andor.'
In fact, 'Andor' only got one acting nomination, and it was for guest star Forest Whitaker. But the 'Star Wars' series did get in for Outstanding Drama Series with seven other shows.

'Your Friends and Neighbors,' 'Squid Game,' '1923' 'House of the Dragon' and 'The Handmaid's Tale' all missed out in Outstanding Drama Series.
Other drama snubs include Elisabeth Moss for 'The Handmaid's Tale,' Lee Jung-jae for 'Squid Game,' Jack Lowden for 'Slow Horses,' Dichen Lachman for 'Severance,' Helen Mirren for '1923,' Jacob Anderson for 'Interview With the Vampire' and Allison Janney for 'The Diplomat.'

On the comedy side, 'Only Murders in the Building' stars Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Meryl Streep were ignored by Emmy voters this go around, despite all landing noms last year for Season 3.
However, their co-star Martin Short got his fourth-straight acting nomination for the Hulu project.

In the limited categories, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' star Nicholas Alexander Chavez failed to join his on-screen brother Cooper Koch and on-screen parents Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny as a nominee.

Gladys Russell from 'The Gilded Age' is based on a real life socialite. Here's her story
One of the real life grand dames of Palm Beach, Florida is the inspiration for a key character in HBO's "The Gilded Age" Season 3 — a character whose story is about to take a major turn. Show creator Julian Fellowes, also the mind behind the hit series "Downton Abbey", has said that the fictional Russell family is inspired by the Vanderbilt family, and that central character Gladys Russell (Taissa Farmiga) is based on Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan, the real-life socialite daughter of suffragette Alva Erskine Belmont and railroad tycoon William Vanderbilt. In season three of "The Gilded Age" (Sundays, 9 ET/PT), is being forced by her parents to marry the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb). Similarly, Balsan was forced by her parents in 1895 to marry the Duke of Marlborough, in a ceremony reported to be one of the most anticipated events of the era. While it's yet to be seen if Gladys will follow in Consuelo's footsteps and go through with the wedding, a look back at the real woman offers hints at what the series may have planned. Who was Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan? Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan lived from 1877 to 1964. She was known as the famously reluctant bride of the Gilded Age who, despite her nuptials being the media event of a generation, did not go gently into matrimony. The New York Times assigned six reporters to cover every facet of the St. Thomas More Church ceremony (one writer's sole assignment was to report on the bridesmaids). Balsan's mother, desperate for the prestige her daughter's marriage into the peerage would bring, brokered the engagement with the aristocratic but ill-humored Sunny Marlborough. She then held her daughter prisoner to keep her from eloping with her true love. After bearing two sons, spending a goodly chunk of her fortune to rescue Blenheim Palace from ruin, and giving her mother the social armor she desired, Balsan decided to find her own happiness — and divorced the duke in 1921. Shortly afterward, she married French adventurer Jacques Balsan and spent the remaining half of her life blissfully married. After France fell to the Nazis, the couple moved to the United States. Where did Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan live? As Duchess, she lived in Blenheim Palace. Later, as Madame Balsan, she had homes in Paris, Monte Carlo, New York, Southampton, Manalapan and Palm Beach. In Manalapan, Florida, the Balsans lived on a nearly 7-acre estate in a mansion built in 1935 and designed by noted society architect Maurice Fatio. They named the mansion Casa Alva, for her mother. The former Duchess of Marlborough also bought Lakeview House in Palm Beach in the late 1950s shortly after her husband's death. Lakeview House was built in 1940 by developer Clarence Mack. It was purchased in 2012 for a recorded $5.2 million by longtime Palm Beach resident Virginia "Gina" Mortara. Once free of the Marlboroughs, Balsan happily threw herself into charity work and entertaining, hosting such high-profile guests as Winston and Clementine Churchill, the Duke of Connaught, Charlie Chaplin, the Maharajah de Kapurthala and Grace Moore. "Mme. Balsan is a top-notch hostess and another of the rare ones who are liked for themselves alone: She needed neither title nor Vanderbilt money to win her social laurels," Elsa Maxwell, a gossip columnist, wrote at the time. "Nowadays she is at her best as hostess to a few, preferring small parties to large: No doubt she had her fill of the pomp-and-ceremony school of hospitality during her years as mistress of Blenheim Palace." Did Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan write her own book? In a bit of a literary twist, Balsan's memoir "The Glitter and the Gold" topped the bestseller list for 20 weeks. When it was published in 1952, the book caused an uproar, raking in both positive and negative reviews. While The Palm Beach Post, now part of the USA TODAY NETWORK, reported at the time that it was the talk of that social season, one newspaper columnist wrote, "Several members of the Vanderbilt clan have been bitterly critical of Mme. Jacques (Consuelo Vanderbilt) Balsan for the publication of her autobiography …They believe that such indiscretions are not befitting a Vanderbilt." For the memoir to come from Balsan, "a lady of extreme regal bearing and behavior, it was a shocker," the columnist added.

Review: ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' is ‘Love Island,' but with murder
The new 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer' is like a certain sexy reality show, but where people get killed off instead of leaving the villa. There are impossibly good-looking, 'Love Island'-like young people at a sun-dappled seaside resort occasionally hooking up with lots of drama, then murders spoil the fun. Although it is the first feature theatrical release in the franchise since 1998's 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer,' it seems so familiar. The first two are a constant staple on streaming and cable, and a one-season Prime Video series, which like the original 1997 film was based on Lois Duncan's 1973 young adult novel, debuted in 2021. The current film is not a remake, but a sequel, and one of its drawing cards is that original cast members Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprise their roles. Plus another person, but we're not allowed to say. But it's most definitely the year 2025 and it's a young person's show. While not a game changer in any way, director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Netflix's ' Do Revenge ') has delivered an appealing, efficiently packaged but rather predictable slasher film with a game cast. In other words, it's as advertised — no more, no less. The weird thing, though, is that the 'crime' that gets the young people in trouble isn't really a crime. In the original, they accidentally hit a pedestrian and then sank the body in a nearby river to hide the evidence. That's a couple of crimes at least. In this one, a careening car goes off the cliff trying to avoid hitting a clowning around Teddy (Tyriq Withers) as a group of five young people are enjoying Fourth of July fireworks. 'That's manslaughter!' says one as they justify fleeing the scene. Uh, not really. Any good lawyer can prove that the car was driving dangerously. Anyway. The damage is done, and Teddy and the rest of them — his fiance, Danica (Madelyn Cline of ' Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery '), her best friend Ava (Chase Sui Wonders of Apple TV+'s ' The Studio '), Ava's current crush Milo (Jonah Hauer-King of ' The Little Mermaid ') and the group's estranged friend Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon of Hulu's ' Tiny Beautiful Things ') agree never to tell anyone. Nonetheless, a year later, at Danica's bridal shower, she gets a greeting card with the ominous 'I know what you did last summer' scrawled in blood. The bodies then begin to pile up, courtesy of what I call the Gorton's Fisherman's evil twin. There are plenty of twists and turns — by the killer's signature hook as well as the plot — as the 20-somethings band together to stay alive and solve the crime. They look to Julie James (Hewitt), a survivor in the first two films, for advice; Ray Bronson (Prinze) is a bar owner who is mentoring Stevie. Look, 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' is fun, recapturing a '90s slasher film vibe. It's no 'Bring Her Back,' the Aussie horror chiller released around Memorial Day, but it's not meant to be.

HBO confirms The Last of Us season 3 will arrive in 2027
If you're all caught up on The Last of Us (the TV version that is) then you'll know that season two made clear that when the show returns it will focus a lot more on Kaitlyn's Dever's Abby. But it sounds like we're going to have to wait a while to see that side of the story unfold. Speaking to Variety off the back of The Last of Us netting HBO 16 Emmy nominations this week, the company's CEO, Casey Bloys, said season three is "definitely planned for 2027." Bloys didn't offer any more specific information about the release window, but the next batch of episodes arriving in the first half of 2027 would be consistent with the roughly two-year gap between seasons one and two. The HBO Max chief also told Variety that a decision has yet to be made on whether the remaining chunk of narrative from The Last of Us Part II will be adapted into more than one additional season. Bloys said that the decision is being left to showrunner Craig Mazin. Mazin's decision likely won't involve input from Neil Druckmann, though. The Naughty Dog studio head and co-creator of the eponymous video game series stepped away from his role on the show after season two. But Bloys unsurprisingly doesn't think (publicly at least) that Druckmann's departure will affect the development of season three. "It was fantastic to have Neil involved. A lot of people don't realize that Neil has a full time job creating video games and running Naughty Dog. It's a really big job that he's got. So I understand why he needs to focus on that," he told Variety . "But I believe he's given us a good blueprint with the show. And obviously Craig is a pro, so I think we'll be in excellent shape. I'm not worried at all." If you are looking for a way to bridge the gap between now and what could be the final season of The Last of Us , a replay of the game it's based on might be the way to go. Last week, Naughty Dog introduced a new Chronological Mode to the remastered version of the sequel that ditches the game's frequent flashback sequences to focus on Ellie and Abby's respective Seattle plotlines as they unfold.
