Lee Pace Is a Ripped Messiah in FOUNDATION Season 3 Trailer
The fate of the universe hangs in the balance in this latest look at Foundation. The trailer for Foundation season three makes it clear that a new threat is coming. It will cause former foes to unite so mankind can hope to avoid a reign of darkness. Why does Game of Thrones' alum Pilou Asbæk's Mule pose such a danger? To go along with the new Foundation trailer, here's the official season three synopsis from Apple:
Set 152 years after the events of season two, The Foundation has become increasingly established far beyond its humble beginnings while the Cleonic Dynasty's Empire has dwindled. As both of these galactic powers forge an uneasy alliance, a threat to the entire galaxy appears in the fearsome form of a warlord known as 'The Mule' whose sights are set on ruling the universe by use of physical and military force, as well as mind control. It's anyone's guess who will win, who will lose, who will live and who will die as Hari Seldon, Gaal Dornick, the Cleons and Demerzel play a potentially deadly game of intergalactic chess.
Season three will feature plenty of new faces joining returning stars Pace, Jared Harris, and Lou Llobell. Cherry Jones, Brandon P. Bell, Synnøve Karlsen, Cody Fern, Tómas Lemarquis, Alexander Siddig, and Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur are getting in on the intergalactic fun/mayhem. We see many of them in action in the Foundation season three trailer above.

FOUNDATION Shares Season 3 Trailer, First Images, and Summer Release Date
As for lead Lee Pace's appearance this season, well, there are a lot of comments we could make about it. This Foundation season three trailer is not stingy with its hot messiah visuals. For example, we might say, he probably turns water into protein shakes at his CrossFit gym. Or talk about how he's going to convert some viewers into following a new religion based entirely on his beard and bod. And how prayers at his church will instead with, 'A-Man!' instead.
We could go on. But we bet the internet will take care of that for us soon enough. Foundation's ten-episode third season debuts at Apple TV on Friday, July 11, 2025.

Here Are the Latest Emoji on Your Phone and What Each Emoji Means
Apple and Samsung brought eight new emoji to their devices this year with the releases of iOS 18.4 and One UI 7. The new emoji include a face with bags under its eyes and a splatter, but what do these new emoji, and the thousands of others, mean? A "😃" or "❤️" are easy to understand, but how are "😩" and "😭" different, and what does it mean when someone sends you food emoji like "🍆" or "🍑"? Over time, emoji meanings have become subjective, depending on a message's context and wider cultural trends. That face says it all. Apple Which shaking smiley face should you use? Is there a difference between each different colored heart? Does the peach emoji actually mean fruit anymore? Here's how to figure out what all 3,790 emoji mean and what emoji could be next. Read more: We Could Get a Sasquatch Emoji Soon Emojipedia is here to help Emojipedia is an online encyclopedia of emoji managed by people who research emoji. The site sorts emoji into nine categories, including Smileys, People, Objects, Activity and more. Each category then breaks down emoji into further subsections. So if you click into Smileys, for example, you'll see sections like Smiling & Affectionate and Sleepy & Unwell. If you click an individual emoji, Emojipedia will give you a brief description of that emoji. For example, here's what Emojipedia writes about the "✨" sparkles emoji: "Commonly used to indicate various positive sentiments, including love, happiness, beauty, gratitude, and excitement, as well as newness or cleanliness. May also be used as a form of ✨emphasis✨ or to convey sarcastic or mocking tones." Emojipedia will also give you a list of other emoji that this particular emoji works well with. In the case of the "🎁" wrapped gift emoji, for example, Emojipedia's suggestions include the "🥳" partying face and the "🛒" shopping cart. What's a text message without an emoji or two? Jason Cipriani/CNET Each Emojipedia entry also shows you the different artwork for each emoji across platforms, as well as how the artwork evolved. The emoji entry will also show you shortcodes and other names for each emoji, if applicable. What are the most popular emoji? You may have your own go-to emoji, but according to Emojipedia, these are the most popular emoji as of the beginning of July. The list changes periodically, so what's popular now might not be popular next month or around a holiday. Note that not all platforms support all the latest emoji, so they may not all appear on your device. What are the latest emoji? Emojipedia In September, Google unveiled Emoji 16.0, which includes eight new emoji. Here are the new emoji. Apple included these emoji with iOS 18.4 in March, and Samsung brought these emoji to some devices with One UI 7 in April and more devices since then. WhatsApp introduced these emoji to its app in January. How often are new emoji added? Anyone can submit an idea for a new emoji. The Unicode Standard -- a universal character encoding standard -- is responsible for creating new emoji. Unicode proposed nine new emoji in November, 2024, including a Sasquatch and an orca. However, those are just proposed emoji. Unicode will decide in September which emoji to add next. Emojipedia What about custom emoji, like Apple's Genmoji? Apple unveiled its emoji generator, Genmoji, at WWDC 2024, and the tech giant included the feature in iOS 18.2. However, only people with an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max or a device from the iPhone 16 lineup can access Genmoji for now. If you can't use Genmoji and want to create your own custom emoji, Emojipedia is home to two custom emoji generators. Emojipedia First is Emojipedia's AI emoji generator. You can use this tool to create anything from a frog wearing a cowboy hat to a heart shaped pizza. You type your description of the emoji into the generator, and the tool will create an emoji based on your description. You can then download or copy your custom emoji to your clipboard and use it as a sticker across messaging apps like WhatsApp and iMessage. This emoji generator is free, but you can only generate three emoji per day so make sure you describe your emoji as much as possible so you don't waste one of your tries. If you do run out of AI emoji generations for the day, you can also use the Emoji Mashup Bot, which combines two emoji from the Twemoji set. You can use this as many times as you want, but you can only choose up to 113 emoji to combine and they are all smileys. That means you can't be as creative in your creation as you might be in the AI emoji generator. All this just for emoji? Yeah, but wait there's more! Emojipedia also hosts the World Emoji Awards on World Emoji Day, July 17. Awards are given for things like Most Popular New Emoji and Most Anticipated Emoji. Winners are determined by popular vote on X, formerly known as Twitter, and any emoji approved the year prior is eligible to win. New emoji are added every year, and there are even awards given out for new emoji. Emojipedia The winner for the Most Popular New Emoji in 2024 was the head shaking horizontally (🙂↔️) followed by the head shaking vertically (🙂↕️) and the phoenix (🐦🔥). The winner of the Most Anticipated Emoji went to the face with bags under its eyes and the Most 2024 Emoji award went to the melting face (🫠) for the second year in a row -- it still fits. The sparkles (✨) emoji was also given the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2024. Emojipedia wrote that this emoji has been among the most popular emoji since 2015, and it's been adopted as the go-to image for AI. In 2023, the most popular emoji was the pink heart emoji (🩷) and the runner-up was the shaking face (🫨). The most anticipated emoji award in 2023 went to the head shaking horizontally (🙂↔️).

Jennifer Aniston teases ‘emotional' season four of The Morning Show
Jennifer Aniston has revealed the plot of the forthcoming fourth season of The Morning Show will be 'complicated'. The 56-year-old stars in the Apple TV+ drama, which follows a fictional breakfast show in the aftermath of a prominent news anchor being hit with a series of allegations, alongside Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup and Julianna Margulies. Aniston – who plays the TV anchor Alex Levy on the show alongside executive producing the series with co-star Witherspoon – told People that The Morning Show 'is just a beast to film'. 'It is layered, it's complicated, it's emotional, it hits on a lot of topics and current events, so let's just say, it's not Friends,' she added, referencing the Nineties show in which she played Rachel Green from 1994 to 2004. She continued: 'We're involved in every single aspect of the show, on top of just the performance side, which is a big piece of it. But I've got incredible support, and we have such an incredible team.' Season four of The Morning Show finished shooting in December last year, according to a post from Witherspoon's media company, Hello Sunshine. 'And that's a wrap on Season 4 of #TheMorningShow!' it read. 'Thank you to our incredible cast and crew for bringing this season to life. We can't wait for you all to see what's in store on @AppleTV!' Season three of The Morning show saw a romance begin between Aniston's Alex and the space tech billionaire Paul Marks, played by Jon Hamm. Elsewhere, Witherspoon's Bradley attempted to salvage her reputation as a journalist after she chose not to reveal video evidence of her brother taking part in the insurrection at the US Capitol. Speaking to Deadline, showrunner Charlotte Stoudt said the next season of the show would explore deepfakes and artificial intelligence. 'We blew everything up last year with the biggest bomb we could possibly build,' she said. 'So, we have to ask ourselves how is the band going to get back together, and what will that look like? 'We get into the world of deepfakes and AI and the misinformation in the fog of war that we're seeing now in the Middle East and stuff. 'We're looking at who can trust. And can you trust what you're seeing? Can you trust yourself? Can you trust your news outlet?' The Morning Show returns for season four on Wednesday, 17 September on Apple TV+

Jennifer Aniston Jokes That Season 4 of ‘The Morning Show' Is ‘Not Friends'
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Spoilers below. What's next for The Morning Show? For a series that literally began its latest season IN SPACE, the possibilities are endless. Season 3 went from the outer layers of earth's atmosphere to the bowels of the Capitol on January 6th—all while navigating the network's pending sale to an Elon Musk-like billionaire, Paul Marks (Jon Hamm). The series, which began as a reflection of the #MeToo movement, continued to rip from headlines, this latest season being the overrun of Roe vs. Wade, and the current state of media. In the end, Alex is making power moves, Bradley is about to do time, and UBA is heading into a drastically different direction than we thought. So, where to now? On May 28, it was announced that season 4 will premiere on September 17 on Apple TV+. From there, the 10-episode season will release weekly every Friday until November 19. We're expecting to see much more of stars Jennifer Aniston (Alex) and Reese Witherspoon (Bradley), as well as Billy Crudup (Cory), Mark Duplass (Chip), Nestor Carbonell (Yanko), Karen Pittman (Mia), Greta Lee (Stella), and Nicole Beharie (Chris). Oscar winner Marion Cotillard will also join the cast as Celine Dumont, 'a savvy operator from a storied European family,' according to Apple. And according to The Hollywood Reporter, Jeremy Irons, Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper, and Boyd Holbrook will appear in season 4 as well. Hamm will also be returning. But one character we won't be seeing again? Laura Peterson, Bradley's love interest. Per Variety, actress Julianna Margulies will not return for season 4, a decision reportedly made prior to Margulies's controversial comments on a podcast in November 2023. Season 4 is confirmed to have a time jump. The show is now set to take place in spring 2024 after the merger has been finalized. The showrunner already hinted that this might happen in a previous conversation with THR. 'I think you probably have to have some kind of time jump, because it takes so long to write and shoot and post the show,' she said. 'You don't want to get too far behind in real time, in terms of the era we're playing and when people are watching it. But I think those time jumps, actually, are great. Because they allow for really surprising reveals at the top of the season. It's a little bit of: 'How did they get there? Wait, he's doing what? Those two are together?!' I think just on a transparent deliciousness of story, you can have a lot of fun with this big cast.' Now, the storied media conglomerates UBA and NBN will join forces in a massive deal that somehow turned out to be more beneficial than selling to billionaire Paul Marks. (He who surveilled journalists and lied to NASA.) But as Mia and Stella hint in the control room, this new chapter is going to lead to a lot of changes in both companies: in leadership, talent, and staff. With two major companies coming together, projects and roles will double up. Will we see intense competition arise between anchors and producers between companies? Whose jobs are at stake? 'I think mergers are always messy, whether they're personal or corporate,' showrunner Charlotte Stoudt told Deadline. 'So, it's always fun to play with that. Whether that story is the story is a question we're wrestling with right now. There are all sorts of things to talk about. We're also trying to reflect the world…how many streamers can there be? People getting laid off, that sort of stuff. So we also just want to reflect what's actually happening in the media world. Some people are doing very well, some people are doing less well. It's like the Wild West.' And at the end of season 3, Bradley—now resigned from UBA—and her brother, Hal, turn themselves in to the FBI to account for his assault of a police officer during the January 6th insurrection (and Bradley subsequently withholding evidence). That leaves a big question for the state of the series's leading pair: How will the show handle Alex and Bradley being apart? (Even more than they did this past season?) Stoudt also teased what's to come in a discussion with Deadline in April 2024. 'We blew everything up last year with the biggest bomb we could possibly build,' she explained. 'So, we have to ask ourselves how is the band going to get back together, and what will that look like? We get into the world of DeepFakes and AI and the misinformation in the fog of war that we're seeing now in the Middle East and stuff. We're looking at who can trust. And can you trust what you're seeing? Can you trust yourself? Can you trust your news outlet?' In an interview in July 2025 with People, Aniston hinted at a 'complicated' season. 'The Morning Show is just a beast to film. It is layered, it's complicated, it's emotional, it hits on a lot of topics and current events, so let's just say, it's not Friends,' she joked. Of herself and Witherspoon producing, Aniston said, 'We're involved in every single aspect of the show, on top of just the performance side, which is a big piece of it. But I've got incredible support, and we have such an incredible team.' Yes. On July 8, Aniston shared with her Instagram followers that the cast has officially begun shooting. 'Let @themorningshow season 4 games begin 🥳 Here we come! ❤️👏🏼👏🏼❤️🥂,' she wrote in the caption along with a BTS photo of her, Witherspoon, and Notaro. They wore coordinating denim looks and carried name plates with their characters' names. Aniston also included a picture of the front of the script for episode 401, titled 'My Roman Empire.'
