The docuseries, which debuted on Monday with three episodes, investigates who is to blame for the 1982 killings of seven people in the Chicago area who took extra-strength Tylenol laced with cyanide and died shortly after. The series features interviews with the victims' families, journalists, federal investigators — and the case's primary suspect, James Lewis, who gave his last interview about the investigation for the project. He died in July 2023.

At 81, Kelly Bishop Is Still Reinventing Herself
A ctress Kelly Bishop doesn't understand people who want to retire. Just this year, she guest-starred in three episodes of the Prime Video show, Étoile . Now, six decades into her career, the dancer turned Tony-award-winning stage performer—turned film and television star—is nowhere near ready to slow down. 'I'm baffled by people who reach their 60s and only think about retirement. You might like to play golf, and now there's pickleball, but then what?' Bishop says. 'No, I'm working until the day I die.' 'In 'A Chorus Line,' most of what Sheila said was my story," says Bishop. "In my mind, that was the perfect place to introduce myself as an actor, and it worked." Penske Media via Getty Images Every decade of Bishop's early career was marked by a new milestone, a new perseverance-fueled reinvention. In her late teens, the ballet-trained Denver dancer landed her first professional dance job at Radio City Music Hall. In her twenties, she debuted on Broadway. In her 30s, Bishop stunned the theater world with a role she helped craft (one that was literally based on her own experiences as a dancer) and took home the Tony for her standout portrayal of Sheila in 'A Chorus Line.' In her 40s, she hit the silver screen as Baby's mother in Dirty Dancing, a box-office sensation that turned into an enduring classic. Then, in her mid-50s, a script for a show called Gilmore Girls came her way—and would change her career. For seven years, Bishop played the affluent, unyielding and ever-sharp family matriarch Emily Gilmore. 'Each year, at the end of the season, we would find out if the show was being picked up, and it was, and then it was again and then it was again,' Bishop says. 'When I read the script, I was so impressed," says Bishop. "I worked like crazy to nail the audition. It was good, apparently, because I got the job.' Kevin Winter / Getty Images In 2014, the show, which originally aired on the WB, made its way to Netflix, and suddenly, a fresh, captive audience discovered, and latched onto, the series. The fan response was so undeniable and so clearly unceasing, the streaming giant teamed up with the show's original creator and showrunner, Amy Sherman-Palladino, for a four-episode revival in 2016. Then in her 70s, Bishop stepped back into the familiar role. 'I just understood Emily so well. It was like coming home,' she says. Both Bishop and Emily had aged since the show aired its final episode in the summer of 2007. Her character's storyline also hit remarkably close to home. Emily Gilmore was learning how to live without her husband at the same time that Bishop was watching her own spouse, talk show host Lee Leonard, grow sicker while fighting cancer for the eighth time. 'We're constantly, without advertising, building an audience. It's amazing how many people are crazy about this show—really, really crazy about it,' says Bishop. Amanda Edwards/WireImage 'I was preparing myself to one day be a widow. And so I remember thinking at some point, I'm practicing for real life, working on this role right now,' Bishop says. 'I loved my husband so much, and little by little, he was becoming diminished because of these cancers. I knew I would one day be a widow, and there was dread, but I just used it. Actors always use things right?' In the years since Leonard's 2018 death, Bishop has continued to act—and for Gilmore Girls fans, has confirmed that she would reprise her role in the show that launched her career to new heights 'in a heartbeat.' 50 Over 50: 2025 Our fifth annual list of 200 women who are redefining what's possible in life's second half. VIEW THE FULL LISTST In 2024, she also added author to her long list of career titles last year with her memoir, The Third Gilmore Girl . Bishop, who characterizes herself as long-winded, says she suspected those encouraging her to write just wanted to quiet her. Still, she teamed up with co-author Lindsay Harrison—Bishop considers herself a storyteller, not a writer—to bring the book to life. The story she wasn't sure anyone would care to read became an instant New York Times bestseller. 'For years, people suggested I write a book, probably because I'm very long-winded," says Bishop. "I remember thinking this person is saying shut up and write a book."Bishop was pleasantly surprised by the success of yet another career leap landing, and is thankful for all that she's managed to accomplish since she first set her sights on stardom. 'I really can't complain about how my life as an actor and as a woman has evolved up to this point. I feel very fortunate. I was smart, I was tough, I was careful with my money. I feel pretty satisfied—but I'm not stopping.' Now an octogenarian, a word Bishop says she loves, she is busy with events marking the 50th anniversary of 'A Chorus Line' and the 25th anniversary of Gilmore Girls . She's enjoying celebrating the work she's so proud of, but as ever, is also looking ahead to find her next character. She envisions one that isn't just a sweet grandmother who pops into a scene, but has her own story worthy of being told—one that she'd herself like to tune into. 'When I'm watching television, I want to see people closer to my age. I'm not that interested in 30-somethings falling in love with each other. Been there, done that,' Bishop says, in a delivery remarkably similar to an Emily Gilmore zinger. 'At 80, I finally threw myself a birthday party, the first one in all my life," says Bishop. "I thought, I'm 80, I've got to celebrate."Bishop says she'll know the right next role when she sees it, but if it doesn't come along, she just might make it herself. These days, when she's not reading spec scripts, she's toying with her own idea for a show. It's ' Golden Girls meets Sex in the City ,' she declares. She knows the details: There are four female leads. She knows their backstories, where they'll live, down to the New York City street address, and what brings them together for the pilot. She also knows how she fits into the picture—mostly. 'One of the women is me. I would also like to be in the writing room, sitting back in the corner. I might want to be one of the producers. I don't quite know what they do,' she says, a smirk in her voice. 'I'd have to find out.'

From war zones to Greek detention: African migrants face 'invasion' counter measures
Greece is dealing with an escalating migration problem, which its new migrant Minister, Thanos Plevris, has classified as a "state of emergency." Greece is currently experiencing a significant migration surge, labeled a 'state of emergency' by officials. Thousands of migrants, primarily from war-affected African countries, are arriving, leading to stringent policies. Detention practices, like those at Ayia detention facility, raise concerns about human rights and living conditions. With thousands of people arriving on its beaches, many of whom are fleeing war-torn African countries, the country has taken more strict measures, raising concerns about how those seeking sanctuary are treated. The Greek migrant minister used terms like "invasion" to characterize the increasing number of immigrants, underlining that "anyone who comes will be detained and returned." This hardline attitude has already resulted in significant changes in policy and practice, such as the detention of individuals without giving them the opportunity to tell their tale, especially those escaping conflict zones like Sudan. The severe nature of the situation is most evident in the Ayia detention facility, which is built in an ancient exhibition center. Migrants are forced to deplorable circumstances during a hot Greek summer, as reported by the BBC. They crowd around a few outside taps, stripped to the waist or wearing vests, with no good showers and only dirty blankets to sleep on. Many people are afraid to speak up since guards have warned them not to communicate with strangers. Inside the institution, cartons of donated clothes and toys stay unopened, as officials worry that releasing them may incite conflict. Asian and African migrants rerouting to Greek shores The bulk of people apprehended are from Egypt, Bangladesh, Yemen, and Sudan, with African migrants accounting for a large proportion of new arrivals. On one weekend alone, 900 individuals arrived on the Greek island of Crete from Libya, overloading already overburdened services. Between January and late June, more than 7,000 illegal migrants arrived in Crete, more than double the amount registered the previous year. According to the EU's Frontex border agency, about 20,000 migrants entered Greece across the Eastern Mediterranean during that time, with the Libya-Crete route currently the busiest corridor. The shift to Crete as a key entrance site followed Italy's contentious agreement with Libya to apprehend and return migrants at sea, an arrangement that has sparked widespread condemnation owing to Libya's history of human rights violations. Greece has subsequently followed suit, launching its own crackdown. In mid-July, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated that "the road to Greece is closing," and that any migrant who entered illegally would be arrested. The implications of this transformation are obvious. Mustafa, a 20-year-old Sudanese migrant who escaped his country's violent strife, was one of those recently imprisoned. In a succession of voice and text messages, he narrated his perilous journey: months in deplorable conditions in Libya, two days at sea on a plastic boat crowded with 38 people, and eventually an arrest in Greece. "We are living here like a prison," Mustafa told the BBC. 'They don't allow us to move. We don't have clothes or shoes. Our situation is very bad," he narrated. "I left my country because of the war. I can't go back," Mustafa continued. "I come from Sudan because there is war in Sudan, and I want protection. That's why I came here. Now we do not know what our fate will be."

20 new shows and movies to watch in August 2025 — 'Wednesday,' 'Peacemaker,' 'Platonic' and more
Aliens, awkward romances, and Eddie Murphy in an armored truck — there's no shortage of new shows and movies to watch in August 2025 on Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV Plus and other major streaming services, as well as broadcast and cable TV. We're highlighting the biggest, buzziest new shows and movies premiering this month. Returning favorites "Wednesday," "Peacemaker," "Platonic" and "Love Is Blind: UK" all return for their second seasons, while the animated classic "King of the Hill" embarks on its 14th season after getting canceled 15 years ago. New arrivals include the highly anticipated sci-fi series "Alien: Earth" and the political thriller "Hostage." If movies are more your speed, "The Pickup" delivers action and laughs, while "Night Always Comes" takes a grittier, emotional turn. Here's our guide on what to watch in August 2025. Jason Momoa gets fierce in his sweeping historical drama about Hawai'i's battle for unification in the 18th century. Ka'iana is a revered ali'i (chief) caught between loyalty and conscience. After he's pulled into a bloody struggle to unite the islands, he realizes the real war might be within. Momoa co-created the series with Thomas Pa'a Sibbett and steps behind the camera to direct the finale. The cast is stacked with Polynesian talent, including Cliff Curtis, Temuera Morrison, and rising star Kaina Makua. — Kelly Woo Premieres Aug. 1 on Apple TV Plus Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Eyes of Wakanda' has the potential to be interesting. The animated miniseries is a spin-off of Ryan Coogler's 'Black Panther' and was produced by his company, Proximity Media. Throughout four episodes, it will examine centuries of Wakandan history through the eyes of Wakanda's Hatut Zaraze, a secret service tasked with recovering stolen vibranium artifacts. The first episode is set in Crete in 1260 B.C and starring the voice of Cress Williams as a Wakandan general gone AWOL, hunted by Hatut Zaraze agent Noni (Winnie Harlow). It will also include cameos from Marvel heroes, including Iron Fist. The show's premiere has been moved up to an Aug. 1 release date with all four episodes dropping at once, so make sure to check Disney Plus at the start of the month. — Malcolm McMillan Premieres Aug. 1 on Disney Plus I have a soft spot for rom-coms, no matter how dramatic or packed with clichés they are. Even when the storyline is wildly predictable, there's something comforting about this genre that keeps me coming back. 'My Oxford Year,' based on Julia Whelan's novel of the same name, follows Anna De La Vega (Sofia Carson), a driven American university student who fulfills her lifelong dream of studying at Oxford — only to have everything upended when she meets Jamie Davenport (Corey Mylchreest), a charming local poetry tutor hiding a transformative secret. As Anna and Jamie's friendship deepens through their shared love of poetry, their romance challenges her meticulously planned path and forces both characters to reconsider their choices. — Alix Blackburn Premieres Aug. 1 on Netflix For my generation, 'King of the Hill' is up there with 'The Simpsons,' 'Family Guy' and 'Futurama' as part of the Mount Rushmore of the Fox network's animated comedy series. Now, just like the last of those three series, it's getting the revival treatment and heading to Hulu and Disney Plus. If you're not familiar with this show from 'Beavis and Butt-Head' creator Mike Judge and 'The Office' showrunner Greg Daniels, it centers around the Hill family, residents of the (fictional) blue-collar city of Arlen, Texas. Unlike its contemporaries, it's a grounded show, focused on the mundane aspects of daily life and family dynamics. It's not over-the-top, but it is hilarious. This revival picks up 15 years after the show's initial run ended, with main characters Hank and Peggy Hill returning to Arlen after years working abroad in the propane industry, to enjoy retirement. So far, early reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with season 14 currently scoring a perfect 100% 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes. — MM Premieres Aug. 4 on Hulu Like any longtime friendship, 'Platonic' is just getting messier with age. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne return as Will and Sylvia, besties who are trying (and mostly failing) to keep their lives in check. He's engaged to a tech CEO, she's moonlighting as his wedding planner, and both are juggling emotional crises with their usual mix of honesty, avoidance and alcohol (and lots of it). Season 2 brings fresh dysfunction and new faces — including Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennett — as the pals put their friendship to the test. Some rocks hold you up; others break windows. — KW Premieres Aug. 6 on Apple TV Plus Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson make an unlikely odd couple in this heist comedy. Russell (Murphy) is the no-nonsense vet, while Travis (Davidson) is all nerves and bad ideas. Their routine armored truck route goes sideways fast when they're ambushed by a crew led by Zoe (Keke Palmer) … who also happens to be Travis's one-night stand. Toss in Russell's furious wife (Eva Longoria), a pile of stolen cash and a plan that's way bigger than anyone signed up for, and their day becomes one wild ride. — KW Premieres Aug. 6 on Prime Video 'Wednesday' season 2 part 1 picks up with Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) returning to Nevermore Academy as a reluctant hero, only to be haunted by dark visions — one of which shows her roommate Enid's (Emma Myers) potential death. Determined to stop it, Wednesday dives into a new supernatural mystery that's darker, gorier, and more horror-driven than before. This season ditches the romance subplot entirely, focusing instead on Wednesday's evolving psychic abilities, her deepening bond with Enid, and a growing tension with her increasingly present family. New faces like Steve Buscemi (as Nevermore's principal) and Joanna Lumley (as Grandmama) join the cast, along with surprise appearances from stars like Lady Gaga. It's going to be a creepy and kooky time, to say the least. — AB Premieres Aug. 6 on Netflix 'Alien: Earth' is my most anticipated TV show of the year, and saying I'm excited would be an understatement. Set in the universe of the iconic 'Alien' franchise, this series trades claustrophobic space horror for manic, otherworldly terror right here on Earth. The Xenomorph is coming home. The show follows Wendy (Sydney Chandler), the first-ever 'hybrid' created by uploading a dying child's consciousness into a synthetic body. When a Weyland-owned research vessel crashes in Prodigy City, it unleashes deadly alien life forms, including Xenomorphs, onto the planet. Wendy and a group of tactical soldiers must confront the threat while grappling with questions about identity, humanity, and corporate exploitation. Created by Noah Hawley, the eight-episode series leans into existential sci-fi and classic horror, exploring a world dominated by mega-corporations like Weyland-Yutani and raising fresh stakes by bringing the Xenomorph terror to familiar ground. — AB Premieres Aug. 12 on FX (via Sling or Fubo) and Hulu 'Butterfly' looks like a gripping spy thriller you don't want to miss. The trailer is packed with action and character drama, and fans of Daniel Dae Kim from 'Lost' or 'Hellboy' will see him take on an even more complex role in this new series. Kim stars as David Jung, a former U.S. intelligence operative now living in South Korea. His quiet life is shattered when Rebecca (Reina Hardesty), a highly trained assassin, is sent to kill him. Shockingly, Rebecca is revealed to be David's estranged daughter, raised to believe he abandoned her years ago. As father and daughter confront their painful past, they become entangled in a dangerous game of deceit and treachery orchestrated by Juno (Piper Perabo) and her intelligence agency. — AB Premieres Aug. 13 on Prime Video The 'Love is Blind' dating show franchise was already a hit worldwide before it made its U.K. debut in August 2024, bringing the same bingeable brand of relationship drama, romantic competitiveness and social curiosities that viewers have come to know and love after five years. And now 'Love is Blind: UK' is back for its second go-round, with the first batch of episodes dropping on Wednesday, August 13. Hosts Emma and Matt Willis will also return to guide the new crop of U.K.- and Ireland-based daters through the highs and lows of trying to find their one true love. As always, the streamer promises, the series 'will uncover whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind.' — Christina Izzo Premieres Aug. 13 on Netflix Vanessa Kirby is having a standout summer. With Marvel's 'Fantastic Four' reboot already out in theaters, she's now set to star in a highly anticipated crime thriller. 'Night Always Comes' is described by Netflix as an intense journey of survival. After watching the trailer, it's quickly become one of the summer's must-watch releases for me. With its gripping storyline, popular bestselling origins, and talented cast, this thriller has all the elements to become a streaming hit. Kirby stars as Lynette, a determined woman racing against time to raise $25,000 in just one night to prevent her family's eviction and avoid losing everything. As the deadline looms, she's pushed to take drastic measures to protect her loved ones and secure their future. — AB Premieres Aug. 15 on Netflix This TV remake breathes new life into John Grisham's classic legal thriller, updating the story that Matt Damon brought to the big screen in 1997. Milo Callaghan is Rudy Baylor, a recent law school grad who's fired from a fancy firm on day one. He lands in a scrappy taco joint-turned-law office with the ambulance-chasing Bruiser (Lana Parrilla) and her shady paralegal, Deck (P.J. Byrne). Together, they dig into a deadly hospital conspiracy, forcing Rudy to go head-to-head with his former boss … and his ex. The 'Suits' reboot may have stumbled, but 'The Rainmaker' hopes to be a more compelling legal drama. — KW Premieres Aug. 15 on USA (via Sling or Fubo) We've already seen the saga of the Amanda Knox case — a then-20-year-old exchange student living in Perugia, Italy who was wrongfully convicted and incarcerated for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher — play out in real time on the news and retrospectively in true-crime documentaries like the 2016 Netflix doc 'Amanda Knox.' Now the shocking story is getting the dramatic limited series treatment with 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox,' a Hulu Original series premiering with its first two episodes on Wednesday, August 20. In the eight-episode drama, 'Tell Me Lies' starlet Grace Van Patten portrays Knox (who serves as an executive producer on the series) as she endures wrongful imprisonment for Meredith's death as well as the media firestorm and public vitriol that followed, all while battling to prove her innocence. — CI Premieres Aug. 20 on Hulu Political thrillers aren't usually my go-to, but 'Hostage' quickly grabbed me. Part of that is thanks to the cast, but I also appreciate that it doesn't rely on over-the-top action or constant explosions. After watching the first trailer, I'm even more excited. 'Hostage' follows Prime Minister Abigail Dalton (Suranne Jones), who faces a harrowing crisis when her husband is kidnapped, with kidnappers demanding her resignation. At the same time, the visiting French President (Julie Delpy) is blackmailed, creating a tense political standoff. What makes me confident this will be good is Jones leading the show. She's known for her powerful performances in dramas like 'Doctor Foster' and 'Gentlemen Jack,' infusing stories with plenty of emotion and intensity. Plus, with her also serving as executive producer, I'm sure this series has been thoughtfully made. — AB Premieres Aug. 21 on Netflix 'Peacemaker' holds an interesting spot in the DCU canon. The first season technically isn't canon anymore, nor is star John Cena's appearance as the titular antihero in the 2021 film 'The Suicide Squad.' A large part of season 2 will be establishing parts of what happened in those stories as part of the DCU canon. But another big part of 'Peacemaker' season 2 will be dealing with the interdimensional portal that Chris aka Peacemaker has access to and the dimensional rift it causes when he leaves this dimension for another one. He'll also have to contend with Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) hunting him down to avenge his son's death in the 2021 Suicide Squad movie, and avoiding Red St. Wild (Michael Rooker), the world's premier eagle hunter who wants to kill Peacemaker's animal sidekick, Eagly. — MM Premieres Aug. 21 on HBO Max Earth's last hope is a team-up like no other. The third season of the sprawling sci-fi thriller brings together the scattered survivors for one impossible mission: sneak aboard the alien mothership and stop the takeover. With Golshifteh Farahani, Shamier Anderson, and fresh face Erika Alexander leading the charge, tensions run high as old friendships are tested and new alliances form. Humanity hangs by a thread as the aliens' motives are finally about to be revealed. — KW Premieres Aug. 22 on Apple TV Plus Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the genius behind 'BoJack Horseman,' is back with another animated comedy. 'Long Story Short' follows the Schwooper siblings, a Jewish family from Northern California. The twist is that the story jumps all over the place in time, showing everything from their childhood screw-ups to their adult dilemmas and everything in between. The show blends Bob-Waksberg's signature wit with heartfelt moments. If you loved 'BoJack's' emotional depth wrapped in sharp humor, this one's made for you. — KW Premieres Aug. 22 on Netflix This Prime Video sci-fi comedy-drama has been a hidden gem for the streaming service.'Upload' is set in a world where you can upload yourself into a virtual afterlife upon your death, which, in theory, sounds great. In practice, though, the evil corporation Horizen ruined it, creating a caste system where the rich get a top-tier afterlife and the poor are stuck using a freemium version with data caps, meaning you could spend months of your afterlife digitally frozen, awaiting more data. That's led to some drama, both in the digital world and the real one, with Nathan 'Nate' Brown (Robbie Amell) at the center of it. A computer programmer who was killed for nearly ruining everything for Horizen and now, he's on a mission to expose Horizen's crimes. In the process, a duplicate Nate was created from a backup, but in the season 3 finale, it was revealed that one of them was killed. Tune in to the fourth and final season to see how the story ends. — MM Premieres Aug. 25 on Prime Video Looks like love-triangle complications will still be waiting for Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) upon her grand return to Silver Falls, Colorado after a much-needed summer away in New York City. When we catch up with her, Cole (Noah LaLonde), Alex (Ashby Gentry) and the rest of the Walter clan when the YA series adaptation returns on Netflix on Thursday, August 28, it's quickly obvious that those romantic dramas haven't magically disappeared upon Jackie's departure. When she returns, 'Jackie is determined to make amends with Alex and set boundaries with Cole while finding her place within the Walter family. But fitting back in isn't that easy, reads the season 2 synopsis. Alex, who is busy training for a risky rodeo event, isn't too thrilled about Jackie's attempts to reconnect, while Cole is unsuccessfully trying to fill the void left by not playing football, causing his old ways to come worryingly creeping back in. — CI Premieres Aug. 28 on Netflix Richard Osman has become a cherished name in British entertainment. After building a strong TV presence, he successfully ventured into fiction with his popular 'Thursday Murder Club' series, which centers on a group of senior friends living in a retirement community who team up to crack both old and new murder mysteries. Now, the debut novel has been turned into a Netflix movie featuring a star-studded cast, bringing these beloved characters to life on screen for the very first time. 'The Thursday Murder Club' follows four lively retirees — played by Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie — who meet weekly in their retirement village to solve cold cases. Their hobby takes a serious turn when a real murder happens nearby, pulling them into a genuine mystery. — AB Premieres Aug. 28 on Netflix
