The Bear Season 4 Trailer Reveals Fallout After Carmy and Syd Receive Damning Restaurant Review
As Season 4 kicks off, 'Abigail's (played by Staite) home, work and romantic life are up in flames,' the official synopsis tells us. 'Her boyfriend Ben (Benjamin Ayres) has fallen off the wagon, Sofia (Eden Summer Gilmore) has written a devastating essay about her mother's alcoholism, and Harry (Garber) has passed her over for equity partnership.
'Abby decides to give Ben a second chance – though it only leads to more disappointment,' the overview continues. 'Later, sparks fly when she meets someone new and unexpected, but is she ready to date again?'
'Professionally, Abby's concerns about a major development at the firm are ignored, forcing her to make a decision that sends shockwaves through the office – and her family. Meanwhile, Harry and Joanne (Lauren Holly) manage their breakup poorly, until they both have experiences that make them reevaluate what truly matters. At work, Harry's plan for a lucrative merger with a rival law office looks like a sure thing until it forces him to make an impossible choice.'
Additionally, 'Daniel (Zach Smadu) mourns the end of his 'relationship' with Martina (Miranda Edwards) by having a one-night stand, and his life is further turned upside down when Jude shares life-changing news with him. Lucy (Genelle Williams) ends her relationship with the manipulative Kelly (Aliyah O'Brien), but the break-up leaves her wracked with self-doubt – until she's upfront about her insecurities on a podcast, which leads to exciting opportunities and possible romance.'
Family Law Season 4's awaited Stateside premiere date comes one week after The CW announced it had picked up two seasons of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, and with the netlet yet to make a decision on airing Season 3 (or even 4) of Wild Cards, which recently got a 2x renewal in Canada.
Family Law Season 4 has yet to air in Canada, though I am told that news on that front may arrive in the coming weeks.

Love Island spoiler: Exclusive Harry and Helena "split" after 'explosive showdown' over Shakira conversation
Love Island's Harry and Helena have reportedly split after an "explosive row", despite going exclusive in the villa. Last night's episode [23rd July] saw Harry and villa ex Shakira spending time together, before she cooled things down with her partner Conor. Now, a source at The Sun says the situation has hit boiling point, with Helena kicking off being in the love triangle again. "That old triangle is very much back," a villa source said. "In the bust-up, Harry admitted he still had feelings for Shakira. He said he didn't plan to act on it but Helena was gutted and furious and told him she was done.' The source continued, " It all happened the day after Shakira dumped Conor and Megan and Blu arrived." During Wednesday night's Love Island, Harry asked partner Helena to go exclusive with him, before he was seen having a flirty conversation with Shakira on the stairs. "I like talking to you… we haven't talked to each other for ages," he told her. "I really think it's a good idea if we hang out on the outside." Shakira's partner Conor then walked into the corridor, with Harry stepping aside to let him past. He then fumed to Helena, "She's [Shakira] out there with Harry... She didn't even acknowledge me there." Helena replied, "You don't think she's lost her head that me and Harry have gone exclusive?" Later, Shakira pulled Conor for a chat, and admitted she was struggling to get over past situations in the villa. He was then asked for a date by villa ex Megan, who is back in the villa for a second stint. Obviously, none of this is confirmed by ITV, and we're yet to see it play out in the villa yet, so we'll have to wait and see what happens. Oh we just love the drama, Mick! Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm.

‘Washington Black' review: Escaping enslavement becomes a rip-roaring adventure
What does 'somewhere safe' mean when a bounty hunter is on your trail? In the Hulu adventure series 'Washington Black,' that location has been Halifax, Nova Scotia — at least temporarily — for the title character who, as a boy, escaped enslavement on a sugar plantation in early 19th century Barbados. Now a young adult (Ernest Kingsley Jr.), he goes by Jack Crawford to evade detection. Wash, as he was known in a former life, has been living for an indeterminate period of time as a free man in Halifax among other free Black people, including the warmly protective Medwin (Sterling K. Brown, also a producer here), who affectionately calls Wash 'island boy' and says things like 'Are we dreamin' or are we drinkin'?' before clinking glasses, and then: 'If the white folks don't kill ya, this'll definitely do the job,' he says of whatever they're swilling. He is also not afraid to get his hands dirty. This is good news for Wash, since that aforementioned bounty hunter means business. An accomplished artist and scientist who dreams of building a flying machine, Wash's interests and prodigious talents are conspicuous enough that his attempts to disappear haven't fully succeeded, forcing him into hiding. There's also the beautiful young blonde woman Wash spotted days earlier at the docks. As she disembarked from a ship, he stared, both enraptured but also clocking that she's biracial, something the white population of Halifax has failed to grasp. That's how her (white) father wants it, but she has no intention of living a lie or denying the memory of her deceased mother. Her insistence is why they left London to start over in Halifax, as her father keeps reminding her: 'You are a child of England, a child of empire, and that is the skin you must inhabit for us both.' The tenuousness of her and Wash's circumstances complicates the sweetness of their tentative romance. They have both been living double lives and have a unique understanding of one another as a result. That's the 1837 narrative. The other begins eight years earlier in Barbados, and it is Wash's origin story told in flashback. A repellent plantation owner rides out to the sugarcane fields to ward off any thoughts of suicide as a means of escape from their living nightmare: 'Killing yourself is a crime against me as surely as if you stole my horse and slit his throat.' This cruel man has a brother, whose arrival changes the course of Wash's life. A high-spirited inventor and abolitionist named Titch (Tom Ellis), he recognizes the child's curiosity and talent and takes the preteen (played by Eddie Karanja) under his wing. Soon enough, the pair are fleeing the sugarcane fields and Titch's nasty family dysfunction in a blimp-shaped 'cloutcutter' of the man's own devising. They don't get far before crashing into the masts of a pirate ship, and so Wash's journey — a grand, Jules Verne-esque tale both thrilling and fought with danger — begins. Based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Esi Edugyan, the eight-episode series is adapted by show creator Selwyn Seyfu Hinds and has a throwback quality to it, with a sweeping orchestral score that sets the tone. Wash's story can be deeply harrowing in parts (Nat Turner, played by Jamie Hector, makes a brief appearance and he is deadly serious about how precarious everyone's safety is), but it is also filled with dreamy and audacious escapades that see Wash deep sea diving and becoming mesmerized by the vast unknowableness of ocean life under the water. Is a novel, which engages the imagination differently than a screen adaptation, better equipped to toggle between these competing tones? Perhaps. More pressing, for me, was the question of who Wash is, in terms of his personality. As written and performed, we don't get much sense of what his own particular internal monologue might be, and this becomes underscored in any scene he shares with Brown's Medwin, who is such a clearly defined presence by comparison. Brown's an actor working on a different level than most, and he's very effective in his few appearances. I wish the show had outlined a bit more about the lives of Black people in Fairfax. They are free but vulnerable, and that nuance comes through most clearly when Medwin walks into a watering hole patronized by white men. The place goes quiet and he takes a seat at the bar. The man next to him says, 'I wouldn't expect your kind to be welcome in a place like this,' to which Medwin replies evenly: 'No, not usually. But most of the boys in here still need me and mine to make life easier for 'em down on the docks, so' — he takes a short but meaningful pause — 'we agree to disagree.'

The Real Reason Meghan Markle And Prince Harry's £75 Million Netflix Deal Won't Be Renewed
On paper, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's move to the leafy Californian enclave of Montecito looked like a dream: autonomy over their lives, a new home in sunny California, and a platform built for 'impactful storytelling' over royal protocol. The couple's first creation for the streaming platform, the docuseries of their love story, Harry & Meghan, broke Netflix records as the streamer's most-watched documentary of all time — 28 million households tuned in to watch two former Windsors set their own narrative in the first two weeks of its premiere. Even Meghan's lifestyle series With Love, Meghan generated a briefly landed in Netflix's top ten. Yet it has now been reported, per People, that the couple's reported $100 million (£75 million) deal with Netflix will not be renewed in September. The pair signed their multi-year Netflix deal in 2020, marking their first major project after stepping back from royal duties and relocating to California. Behind the scenes, the numbers of the Sussexes' projects tell a less regal tale. While Harry & Meghan proved a hit, their later projects — Polo and Heart of Invictus — struggled to keep the spotlight, with Polo only nabbing 500,000 viewers globally and With Love, Meghan falling outside Netflix's coveted top 300 for 2025. Per People, however, there's 'no animosity' between the royal couple and Netflix, with sources noting that it's merely a symptom of Netflix shifting focus from high-cost exclusive deals like Archewell's towards single-project options. The streaming service pivoted in the same way with with their deal involving former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground production company, which evolved into a first-look agreement, according to People. 'Netflix were clever in that they got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series, and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair,' a source said. 'They're not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time.' In the meantime, the already-filmed second season of With Love, Meghan will premiere on Netflix in the autumn, while the Sussexes no doubt start working out what their next chapter will look like.
