‘The Diplomat' Renewed For Season 4 At Netflix
From creator, showrunner, and executive producer Debora Cahn, The Diplomat is a high-stakes, contemporary political drama about the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships between countries and people. It centers on Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), the new U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom. She was supposed to go to Afghanistan. She's great in a crisis zone. In a historic home … less so. War is brewing on one continent and boiling over on another. Kate will have to defuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London, and adjust to her new place in the spotlight — all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and political star Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell).

In Season 3, Ambassador Kate Wyler lives the particular nightmare that is getting what you want. She just accused Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) of hatching a terrorist plot and admitted she's after the VP's job. But now the President is dead, Kate's husband Hal may have inadvertently killed him, and Grace Penn is the leader of the free world. None of this slows Hal's campaign to land Kate the vice presidency. Kate steps into a role she never wanted, with a freedom she never expected, an increasingly complicated friendship with Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and an unnerving bond with First Gentleman Todd Penn (Bradley Whitford).

As Pamela Anderson Vamps It Up in 'The Naked Gun', She's Also Been Acting in a Tennessee Williams Play on the Weekends
The actress has been performing in a production of 'Camino Real' at the Williamstown Theatre Festival while on the press tour for 'The Naked Gun'NEED TO KNOW As Pamela Anderson's movie The Naked Gun opens in theaters, she's wrapping up a stint in a production of the Tennessee Williams play Camino Real The Golden Globe nominee has traveled to Williamstown, Massachusetts, to perform in the play on weekends while promoting The Naked Gun around the world during the weekdays Despite the challenges of juggling both projects, Anderson said in a recent interview with Town & Country that she felt compelled to do the play: "I absolutely had to"Pamela Anderson's new comedy, The Naked Gun, releases in theaters across the world today. She has another gig that's much more intimate: Since July 19, the Golden Globe nominee, 58, has been performing in a production of Tennessee Williams's Camino Real at the prestigious Williamstown Theatre Festival in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Anderson's three-show-per-weekend schedule (two on Saturdays, one on Sundays), means the actress has had to jet from all over the globe — where she's been promoting The Naked Gun in London, New York and Berlin — back to the small town in the Bay State's Berkshires area. 'I saw that the premiere dates and press tour for The Naked Gun would have to happen between performances of Camino Real, but I said, 'there's no other choice.' I absolutely had to do this play,' Anderson recently told Town & Country. The projects couldn't be more different in tone. In The Naked Gun — an update of the 1988 slapstick comedy starring Leslie Nielsen as L.A. Police Squat lieutenant Frank Drebin — she plays Beth Davenport, a femme fatale who gets involved with Drebin's son Frank Jr. (Liam Neeson, with whom Anderson has struck up a romance, a source confirmed to PEOPLE on Tuesday, July 29.) According to a description of the surreal play Camino Real on the festival's website, "The Camino Real is a dead end, a police state in an imagined Latin-Mediterranean-American country, and an inescapable condition. Characters from history and literature such as Don Quixote, Casanova, and Camille inhabit this phantasmagoric plaza where corruption and alienation have nearly destroyed the human spirit. Enter Kilroy, a prize-winning boxer and all-American fella with 'a heart as big as the head of a baby.'" Nicholas Alexander Chavez, from the Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story, stars as Kilroy, while Anderson plays Marguerite Gaultier (a courtesan and character originally from Alexandre Dumas's novel The Lady of the Camellias). The star of The Last Showgirl told Town & Country her 2022 stint as murderous housewife Roxie Hart on the Great White Way inspired her to continue stage work. 'I loved being on Broadway playing Roxie in Chicago, and I didn't know if I'd get another chance,' she said. Her role in Camino Real wraps up with a final performance on Sunday, Aug. 3, but Anderson seems interested in performing live in the future. "There are so many characters I want to play that I would never have thought about back in my twenties, but I feel like in this part of my life, I can play them with hindsight, wisdom, and knowledge," she told Town & Country. "I'd love to play Amanda in The Glass Menagerie — I have the energy and the inspiration, and I feel like I'm really just starting out." The Naked Gun is now playing in theaters nationwide; performances of Camino Real run through Sunday. Aug. 3. Read the original article on People

What to Watch This Weekend (Aug. 2-3): 9 Best New Movies and Shows to Stream Now (Including a Major Reboot of a Beloved '80s Comedy!)
Here's where to watch the top nine best movies and shows the weekend of Aug. 2-3 The first weekend of the month can often be slow in theaters and streaming but August is already off to the races as we grasp onto the final few weeks of summer! This weekend, Aug. 2-3, the summer of reboots continues with the revival of an '80s comedy classic in theaters. Over on streaming, true crime is ramping up once again with a new iteration of Netflix's Conversations with a Killer series. Not ready to sidle up to a spooky documentary just yet? All good, we have some lighter options with the return of everyone's favorite fashion competition and a new comedy series from Leanne Morgan. And there's more! Here's a list of the nine best new movies and shows to watch this weekend and where to stream them. The Naked Gun Liam Neeson may be known for his ultra serious action roles, but he's getting silly (and scantily clad) in The Naked Gun. A reboot of the 1988 classic of the same name, Neeson's character, Frank, is following in the footsteps of his goofy police officer father — and taking on the law in his own unique way (which includes whipping out his gun to skip the bathroom line). The Naked Gun releases in theaters on August 1. Project Runway season 21 Make it work! So goes the iconic catchphrase of OG Project Runway mentor Tim Gunn, and the show is certainly taking the slogan to heart as it revs back up after a two-year hiatus with a new judge panel, host and streaming platform. Back at the helm is Heidi Klum, though Gunn won't be joining her after 16 seasons together. Also returning are designer (and winner!) Christian Siriano as host and Elle editor-in-chief Nina Garcia as judge. Celebrity stylist Law Roach is also joining the judging panel, where he is not holding back on his takes. Watch the first two episodes of Project Runway season 21 on Hulu and Disney+, with episodes releasing weekly at 9 p.m. ET on Thursdays on Freeform. My Oxford Year Starring two of Netflix's darlings — The Life List's Sofia Carson and Queen Charlotte's Corey Mylchreest — My Oxford Year brings Anna de la Vega and Jamie Davenport's love story from the 2018 book of the same name to life. Anna is an ambitious American who has dreamed of studying abroad at the University of Oxford for a year. What she doesn't expect is to fall for her hot, brooding professor — who is naturally emotionally unavailable, as hot brooding professors are. Watch My Oxford Year on Netflix. Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes Netflix hones in on a new serial killer in a continuation of its Conversations with a Killer series: the Son of Sam, David Berkowitz. Between the summers of 1976 and 1977 in New York City, the now-incarcerated serial killer targeted women with short brown hair who were often sitting in cars with their partners in "lovers lane." He left cryptic letters for the police, signing off as the "Son of Sam," until he was eventually caught after illegally parking at the scene of one of his crimes. Watch Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes on Netflix. The Yogurt Shop Murders Four girls walked into a yogurt shop in Austin in 1991, but none walked out. Authorities found their bodies after the I Can't Believe It's Yogurt! storefront was set on fire, and to this day, no perpetrator has been caught. An HBO docuseries, The Yogurt Shop Murders, looks back at the chilling tale and the cold case, featuring interviews with the victims' families and investigators. Watch The Yogurt Shop Murders on Sunday, Aug. 3 at 10 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max. Leanne Morgan may have only launched her comedy career in her 50s, but she's already off to the races with a self-titled sitcom on Netflix, Leanne. After her husband leaves her for another woman, Leanne's life is turned upside down. But thankfully, she has her extroverted sister to help push her in the dating world. Watch Leanne on Netflix. Perfect Match season 3 If you don't have reality dating show fatigue yet (though surely this may push you over), then we have another one queued up for you: Perfect Match is back. Season 3 marks a new chapter for the Netflix show: while previously the series focused on pairing reality stars from the streamer's own dating universe, this time around it's broadening the pool to include Bachelor Nation, Love Island and other fan-favorite show alums. Watch the first six episodes of Perfect Match season 3 on Netflix. Chief of War Jason Momoa has passion projects just like us.

Momoa, who is of Hawaiian heritage himself, stars as a chief on a mission to unify his people as colonizers arrive to annex their land. He is joined by a predominantly Polynesian cast. Watch Chief of War on AppleTV+. Twisted Metal season 2 This plot is so twisted (pun intended) it's hard to keep up but if video game adaptations are your cup of tea, then the second season of Twisted Metal will be right up your alley. Following the revelations in the season 1 finale, John (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) find themselves enrolling in a strange man's Twisted Metal tournament, which is essentially a demolition derby. Watch season 2 of Twisted Metal on Peacock. Read the original article on People
