‘Wednesday' Season 2, Part 1 Character Guide: Who Plays Who?
Part 1 of Season 2, appropriately, begins streaming on Wednesday, Aug. 6.

The ‘Euphoria' Cast Reunited for a Night of Karaoke, and You Need to See the Video
It will probably be a while before we see Euphoria season 3, but the cast is keeping us fed in the meantime. On August 2, several of the show's stars—including Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, and Maude Apatow—reunited for a night out at The GasLite Karaoke bar in Los Angeles, and some sneaky fans managed to catch them in action. For instance, there's this video of Sydney, Hunter, and Maude singing 'What's Up' by 4 Non Blondes, which is making the rounds online: Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer and Maude Apatow spotted at a karaoke bar last night. — Buzzing Pop (@BuzzingPop) August 3, 2025 Later, the three joined Jacob Elordi at a table for what looked like an intense chat: Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer and Maude Apatow hanging out together last night. — Buzzing Pop (@BuzzingPop) August 3, 2025 Speaking of Euphoria! Sydney recently opened up to Bustle and teased that her character Cassie Howard is in for a 'wild ride' during season 3. 'I was definitely very shocked by the turns of Cassie's life,' she said, adding, 'I'm very excited for the entire show.' She also noted that the bond between herself and her on-screen sister (played by Maude) is much stronger behind the scenes. 'Maude's my best friend,' she gushed. 'I see her all the time, so being able to work together again is always so fulfilling. She's just such a special, sweet, and kind person. I'm lucky to have her as my sister on the show.' Back in April, fan-captured footage from what looked like the set of Euphoria season 3 went viral, which showed Sydney walking down an aisle in a white wedding dress. The aisle features the intertwined initials, 'C' and 'N,' the latter of which could possibly stand for Jacob's character, Nate Jacobs. Interesting!! Fans will just have to sit tight until 2026 to learn what else is in store for Cassie, Nate, and the rest of the gang (and hopefully, we'll get a few more cast reunions before then!!).

Here's Why Fans Think Lil Baby Is Dropping an Album Next Week
Lil Baby has been teasing a second album on the way for 2025, essentially since the minutes after his WHAM LP arrived in January. Baby had fans' minds churning once again on Tuesday (Aug. 5) when he captioned an Instagram post with '8.15.25,' which is next Friday (Aug. 15). More from Billboard Lil Baby Hosts Back to School Benefit for 4,000 Students in Atlanta: 'It Means A Lot to Come Back & Give Back' Myke Towers & Quevedo Set Charts Ablaze With 'Soleao' Justin Bieber Vacations With Wife Hailey & 11-Month-Old Son Jack Blues in Black & White 'Yukon' Music Video He fanned the flames surrounding his album talk with a follow-up post of a blurry photo to his Instagram Story featuring a whiteboard hinting at a project seemingly titled THE LEAK$. The picture also includes a list of 17 songs and possible appearances from Playboi Carti, Skooly, Veeze and Rylo Rodriguez. Fans were hyped at the influx of Atlanta rap this summer, as Metro Boomin dropped last week while JID, Gunna, Young Nudy and now Lil Baby are on the way. 'Gunna this week Lil baby next week Can thug drop on the 22nd,' one person wrote to X. Baby set off the year with WHAM, which brought Young Thug back into the rap universe with the Future-assisted 'Dum, Dumb and Dumber.' The project, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 140,000 album-equivalent units, also featured Travis Scott, 21 Savage and GloRilla. In an interview with Complex in January, Lil Baby teased the follow-up to WHAM being Dominique, an emotional project giving fans an unprecedented look behind the curtain of who he is. 'Well, I'm dropping two projects back to back: WHAM, then I'm coming with Dominique, my self-titled album,' he said at the time. 'WHAM is more like my young nigga street shit. Then I show the transition I'm taking in Dominique, the more emotional and more vulnerable side I never really gave my fans.'
