What Else to Expect?
Back in Paris with Fresh Eyes and Older Tensions
Emily may still be in Paris, but her world is expanding fast—and not just geographically. Netflix 's fan-favorite romantic comedy Emily in Paris is returning for a fifth season in 2025, and with it comes an infusion of fresh energy, new entanglements, and more than a few surprises. According to Deadline, Season 5 is already in production and set to bring both familiar heartbreak and new beginnings—starting with three intriguing new characters.Emily in Paris is about to get a little more…American. Bryan Greenberg, best known for How to Make It in America, The Mindy Project, and most recently Suits LA, joins the cast as Jake, a fellow American expat living in the City of Light. This marks the highest number of American characters the show has seen at one time, with Jake joining Emily (Lily Collins) and last season's addition Genevieve (Thalia Besson).What Jake's role will be in Emily's increasingly complicated personal and professional life is still under wraps, but fans can expect sparks, cultural comedy, and perhaps a much-needed confidant—or rival—in the midst of her expanding universe.Also joining Season 5 is iconic French actress Michèle Laroque , a César Award nominee celebrated for films like Ma Vie en Rose and The Closet. She'll be portraying Yvette, an old friend of Sylvie Grateau (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu). With Sylvie's romantic past catching up to her and her marriage to Laurent G (Arnaud Binard) still in play, Yvette's presence could stir new drama—or offer unexpected support.And then there's Princess Jane, played by none other than Minnie Driver, whose casting was previously confirmed. As royalty enters the narrative, Emily's glamorous life takes yet another couture-laced turn.Season 5 picks up mere days after Season 4's dramatic finale, as Emily settles into her new apartment in Rome. She's now helping manage Agence Grateau's Italian office and spending more time with Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), the charismatic heir to a family-run cashmere empire. But even Rome can't shield her from the Parisian chaos she left behind—especially when Nico (Paul Forman), Mindy's ex and one of Season 4's emotional linchpins, makes his return.Will Nico's comeback stir unresolved feelings for Mindy (Ashley Park)? Will Sylvie and Laurent navigate their messy marriage and her Roman rendezvous? And how will Jake and Yvette fold into these stories of ambition, heartbreak, and high fashion?Filming for Emily in Paris Season 5 began in May in Rome and resumed in June in Paris. Creator Darren Star, who recently told Deadline, 'I think we've got a really terrific season coming up,' returns as executive producer alongside a powerhouse team including Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, and Andrew Fleming. The show continues to be produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, Darren Star Productions, and Jax Media.What started as a bright-eyed expat comedy has grown into a layered tale of identity, ambition, and unexpected alliances—with love triangles and workplace drama never far behind.From cappuccinos in Rome to cocktails in Paris, Emily in Paris promises a season where personal and professional lives unravel, collide, and find new ground. With its most diverse cast yet, Season 5 hints at the beginning of a new era for Emily Cooper—one where global charm meets emotional reckoning, and the American dream finds itself tangled in French and Italian flair.

Julie Bowen says she thought 'Happy Gilmore 2' makers would replace her with "younger woman"
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actress Julie Bowen was surprised when the makers asked her to return for 'Happy Gilmore 2', reported Variety. She recently appeared on the 'Inside of You' podcast, where she shared that she was certain about being replaced as the love interest for Adam Sandler 's titular golfer by a younger actress in the 'Happy Gilmore' sequel. "I didn't think they'd bring me back at all," Bowen said, adding, "I mean, who am I supposed to be? He's got to have a younger woman in this one, 'Happy Gilmore 2'," reported Variety. Bowen shared that she was not sure about being part of the first film, in which she played the character of Virginia Venit, the pro golf tour's public relations director. However, she thought that the makers would opt for a "hot girl" to play the part, reported Variety. "I read and they were relieved," she added. "They were visibly relieved. I go, 'What's going on?' They're like, 'Yeah, some of these girls are just so aggressively sexy.' And I was like, 'That's a bad thing?'" The cast who have joined the 'Happy Gilmore' team include Margaret Qualley, Eric Andre, Sunny Sandler, Benny Safdie, Bad Bunny, Eminem and Travis Kelce. Bowen said she has less screentime in "Happy Gilmore 2" than in the original. Even so, she said her co-star, Adam Sandler, keeps encouraging her not to de-emphasise her importance, reported Variety. 'Happy Gilmore 2' releases on Netflix July 25.

Kamal Haasan's Thug Life Quietly Arrives On Netflix In Less Than A Month Of Its Theatrical Release Following Language Row
Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Mani Ratnam, released in Indian theatres, except for Karnataka, on June 5, 2025. The film has now silently arrived on Netflix in five languages -- Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, in less than a month of its release in cinema halls. The Tamil gangster action drama was embroiled in controversy after lead star Kamal Haasan at a promotional event said "Your language (Kannada) was born out of Tamil". Despite backlash, Kamal Haasan -- who was also attached with the film as a producer -- refused to apologise for his comments. He also decided to not release the film, mounted on a reported budget of Rs 200-300 crore, in Karnataka, which may have played a role in Thug Life 's poor box office collections. What's Happening On Thursday morning, Thug Life -- also starring Silambarasan TR -- quietly made its streaming debut on Netflix. Its OTT premiere came two days before it completed even a month in theatres. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) In an Instagram post, Netflix said, "It is a battle between Death and Rangaraya Sakthivel, want to see who wins the game? Watch Thug Life, now on Netflix in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam #ThugLifeOnNetflix #Thuglife #KamalHaasan #SilambarasanTR "A #ManiRatnam Film An @arrahman Musical @ikamalhaasan @silambarasantrofficial #Mahendran @siva_ananth @trishakrishnan @aishu__ @ashokselvan @abhiramiact @jojugeorgeactorofficial @dop007 @rkfioffl @madrastalkies @turmericmedia @magizhmandram @saregamatamil." What The Audience Said About Thug Life 's OTT premiere A section of social media users seemed disinterested in watching the film on OTT. One of them commented on Netflix's Thug Life announcement post, "Save your life." Another said, "Not interested." An Instagram user said, "Not interested. Already wasted my valuable time and money in theatre." In A Nutshell Weeks before the release of Thug Life, Kamal Haasan landed into a fresh controversy with his "your language (Kannada) was born out of Tamil" remark at an event. The row led to boycott calls from the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce and pro-Kannada language groups. The film, directed by Mani Ratnam, didn't release in Karnataka on June 5, 2025, as did in the rest of the country and other international territories. According to reports, Thug Life emerged as one of the highest grossing Tamil films of 2025 earning around Rs 90 crore, but it didn't perform well at the box office considering its massive budget (Rs 200-300 crore). The movie is now streaming on Netflix.

Jurassic World Rebirth Box Office Collection: Scarlett Johansson's film rakes in $28 M on day 1, eyeing $260M worldwide
Jurassic World Rebirth Box Office Collection: The dinosaurs are back with Jurassic World: Rebirth. The thrilling new chapter brings nostalgia and excitement to the theatres. Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, the film is a standalone sequel to Jurassic World Dominion (2022) of the franchise. It also makes it the fourth Jurassic World movie and the seventh overall in the hit Jurassic Park series. Starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein, the film saw a massive opening. According to Deadline, Jurassic World: Rebirth can earn as much as $260 million worldwide by Sunday. The seventh film in the action-adventure franchise, produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment and Universal, had a strong start at the box office, raking in $28 million on its first day in US theatres, as confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter. The film is likely to cross the $250 million mark globally during its opening weekend. Meanwhile, the top three Jurassic opening days include 2015's Jurassic World ($81.9M), 2022's Dominion ($59.5M) and 2018's Fallen Kingdom ($58.5M). Jurassic World: Rebirth is majorly clashing with Brad Pitt's F1. F1 is estimated to do a business of $6M+ today, reported Deadline. The film grossed $6.9M on Monday and $8.6M on discount Tuesday. The total business made by the film is said to be around $78M. Jurassic World Rebirth also stars Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono and Audrina Miranda. The film follows a team of experts on a high-stakes mission to the most dangerous place on Earth—an isolated research facility located on the original Jurassic Park island. Assigned to retrieve dinosaur DNA that could hold the key to life-saving medical breakthroughs, the team soon finds themselves in a far more perilous situation than they anticipated. As the danger intensifies, they uncover a chilling secret buried deep within the island—one that has remained hidden for decades and could change everything. Before release, the film premiered at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London. It was released in the US and Canada by Universal Pictures on July 2. The film has received mixed reviews from critics and the audience.
