Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly moves on from Kevin Costner series in new detective drama
Saying goodbye to Paramount Plus' Western saga, Yellowstone fan-favourite Reilly is transitioning to a "riveting" crime thriller based in the UK.
The upcoming drama, set to broadcast on Sky, features the London-born actress as a former detective turned teacher living in a fictional Welsh town that's been rocked by the death of a young boy.
Named Under Salt Marsh, the series also stars English actor Rafe Spall, Game of Thrones star Jonathan Pryce, Nightsleeper's Naomi Yang and Industry's Harry Lawtey.
The plot summary states: "Under Salt Marsh is a riveting crime thriller set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen.
"As a once-in-a-generation storm starts brewing far out at sea... teacher Jackie Ellis finds the body of her 8 year old student, Cefin, apparently drowned.

"The discovery sends shockwaves through the community, stirring up the spectre of an unresolved cold case that shook the town three years prior – the vanishing of Jackie's niece, Nessa, which cost her career.
"Cefin's death brings Jackie's former partner, Detective Eric Bull, back to Morfa Halen to head the investigation into a community he let down once before.
"Convinced the cases are linked, Jackie and Bull must reconcile and race to uncover long-buried secrets inside Morfa, before the storm breaks and all the evidence is gone for good."
Reilly, aged 47, takes on the role of teacher Jackie Ellis, with Spall portraying her former flame, Detective Eric Bull, reports

.
The cast also features talents such as Sandman's Dinita Gohil, Bad Sisters' Brian Gleeson, Fresh Meat's Kimberley Nixon, Happy Valley's Mark Stanley, Fool Me Once's Dino Fetscher and Julian Lewis Jones from House of the Dragon.
Currently in production across locations in Wales, the series is a brainchild of Claire Oakley (known for Make Up) and comes under the production banner of Little Door Productions working hand in hand with Sky Studios.
Add to that, the series Under Salt Marsh has been given a boost with backing from the Welsh Government through Creative Wales.
"We are incredibly fortunate to have such a talented cast bringing these characters to life," remarked Elwen Rowlands, CEO of Little Door.
"Claire's compelling scripts tell a thrilling story of a community deeply connected with its environment, raw with emotion, and beautifully mirrored by the stunning backdrop of North Wales where the story unfolds."
Games of Thrones actor Jonathan Pryce will star
On top of Under Salt Marsh, Yellowstone's own Reilly has another intriguing project lined up - the forthcoming film Last Meals. In this new prison-themed flick, she'll share the screen with Boyd Holbrook and Samuel L Jackson, who portrays a "disgraced former White House chef" named Walter.
In his new role, Walter is tasked with preparing the final meals for death row inmates, and he develops a connection with Reed, an inmate on hunger strike.
Walter suspects that Reed might be innocent and, with assistance from Reilly's character Hannah, attempts to challenge the prison head, bringing a glimmer of hope to the other prisoners.
This follows the conclusion of Yellowstone in December 2024, which wrapped up after five seasons and 53 episodes.
Under Salt Marsh will be accessible on Sky and the streaming service NOW in the U.K. and Ireland. NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution will manage the international sales of the series.
Yellowstone is available to stream now on Paramount Plus and Netflix.

Think print is dead? Nora Nazerene Abu Bakar on the book revolution and the bold voices shaping Southeast Asia's literary scene
Every few years people will ask me, 'Are printed books dead?' But right now I see a revolution of books coming back. - Nora Nazerene Abu Bakar - Books are having a moment, says Nora, and have become akin to a calling card. 'If you are a CEO, you want to give [your] book to people. You see so many movies now about writers and there are Bookstagrammers and BookTokers. Celebrities have book clubs. They've all made books very fashionable. Every few years people will ask me, 'Are printed books dead?' But right now I see a revolution of books coming back. And I'm heartened to see that there are so many people who want to write.' As AI disrupts publishing, Nora looks back on Penguin SEA's list and the books that have been both personal milestones and significant for the literary scene in Southeast Asia—and beyond—and for Asian authors. See also: 'You don't have to choose between being an effective leader and being a good person'—Dr Bonnie Hayden Cheng on why kindness is a secret weapon in leadership Delivering debuts Above Fall Baby by Lakshmi Pamuntjak 'When Penguin Southeast Asia started, the focus was English reading markets including Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. We were really happy to publish this book from Indonesian author Laksmi Pamuntjak as mostly Indonesians were reading in Bahasa, and there were very few writers coming out of Indonesia writing originally in English. Pamuntjak did. Her book, Fall Baby, gave us an indication that Indonesia was ready to read more in English. It also won Best Literary Work at the Singapore Book Awards in 2020.' Above And Softly Go the Crossings, by Danielle Lim Above Harmony Heights, by Ong Chin Huat 'In 2021, Singaporean writer Danielle Lim's And Softly Go the Crossings won best literary work at the Singapore Book Awards. We always wanted to give a platform not just established voices, but to hidden, uncovered talent.' Harmony Heights, by Ong Chin Huat 'One recent debut that has done very well is Harmony Heights by Ong Chin Huat. Would I say it was a surprise? Every time a debut writer does well, it's a pleasant surprise. We do all we can to help debut writers. We want people to at least know their name, but if the book is a success then that's a bonus.' From Asia to the world Above The American Boyfriend, by Ivy Ngeow 'Ivy Ngeow's The American Boyfriend is a book that we were very proud of. The author is Malaysian, but she lives in the UK. And it became very successful, both here as well as outside Southeast Asia, and was the book that made us believe that it is possible to publish a Southeast Asian writer here and get the word out to the world that we've got good stuff coming out of this region. Ngeow will be publishing a new book titled In Safe Hands in October.' Women supporting women Above The Stories Women Journalists Tell, edited by Reta Lee 'Another thing I'm very proud of about our list is that we publish a lot of women. It's well known that any list is very much influenced by the publisher. They are the ones who set the direction. I'm drawn to books by women living in Southeast Asia. There's always been this innate character of women here that they don't usually speak, so when I started with Penguin I was very encouraged to see that there were actually many women who had something to say, and there still are. And it's not just the business leaders or movers and shakers. I've met a lot of women who have stories to tell and things to share which would be useful not just to other women, but also men. Stories Women Journalists Tell is a collection of stories from female journalists about their experiences in the field.' Romance calling Above Love on the Second Read, by Mica de Leon 'Romance does well in Southeast Asia—and also in the West. I think this was especially true during Covid-19, because we were all at home and we looked to books to immerse ourselves in another world, and to fall in love with a character. We had a lot of time and we needed to connect—and that's when the romance genre really boomed. [It put] you in a world where there are two people connecting and falling in love and it made you escape the realities of Covid, and that just continues today. Love on the Second Read is my romance pick. It has been translated into Korean and Bahasa.' In translation Above The Genealogy of Kings, by Tun Seri Lanang 'We have a series called Southeast Asian Classics, where we translate old books into English to keep these works alive and make them accessible to all readers, whether a different generation of readers or readers from another part of the world. One of the first ones we did was The Genealogy of Kings , which tells the story of how the Malayan Empire was born. 'We've since published quite a number of Classics. And we see that they really connect people. When someone from Singapore or Malaysia sees a translated work from Thailand, for example, they get excited. The region has many shared histories and we are a lot more similar than we ever realise, and by sharing stories we really become aware of our similarities and how connected we are despite the different geographical locations. 'At Penguin SEA, AI is not used for translations and we feel that AI cannot replace human translators. It's the voice and feel of the original story that you need to capture. There are nuances that AI cannot pick up on.' Modern classics Above No Man River, Duong Huong 'This year we have started publishing modern classics, which are books that have come after World War II. The first one was published in May and is No Man River , written about the Vietnamese War. A lot of books [about the Vietnam War] are written by Americans, but this is written by a Vietnamese and it's very refreshing. It's about a town that lost all their men to the war, while the women were left to fend for themselves and to raise the children. We published it to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War.' Taking risks Above Final Reckoning, by Romen Bose Above Misgovernance, by Edmund Terence Gomez 'Publishing Final Reckoning was risky. While we don't publish books about politics in Singapore from Singapore, we've published a number of books on politics from Malaysia. We received quite a bit of pushback for this book because people perceived it to be written in defence of Najib [Razak, former Prime Minister of Malaysia], who was supposed to be the villain and the perpetrator in the 1MDB [1Malaysia Development Berhad] scandal. What the author was trying to do was put everything on the table, and say that this is what you have been reading, but did you know that all these other things were happening as well? And we did have journalists writing to us and asking how we could publish this book. But as long as the author is able to verify sources for anything that goes into the book, we are okay to publish it.' Misgovernance: Grand Corruption in Malaysia, by Edmund Terence Gomez 'We also recently published a book call Misgovernance: Grand Corruption in Malaysia , which tells readers what is wrong with Malaysia such that scandals like 1MDB can happen. So, we don't take sides. We don't publish books by people only from a certain party, but we do avoid anything salacious or scandalous.' The next chapter 'The number of books we will be publishing in 2025 is actually fewer than in previous years as we are trying to be more focused and to be able to put in the necessary effort to make sure that every book succeeds. Now, we also know what works for us, so we're more confident that we can actually do more with a lower number of titles. 'In September Penguin Southeast Asia will be publishing Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's book Rethinking Ourselves: Justice, Reform and Ignorance in Postnormal Times . We also have a book by Australian-Bornean poet and spoken word performer Omar Musa published in partnership with Penguin Australia, titled Fierceland due out in September.'

'The Devil Wears Prada 2': Shooting, Cast, Release Date, Synopsis and Everything About the Most Awaited Sequel
It looked like it was one of those internet rumours that come and go from time to time, but nope. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a reality and will be released much sooner than we imagined, just in time to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the 2006 film directed by David Frankel in which he adapted the novel of the same title by Lauren Weisberger that was a bestseller since its publication in 2003. In it, Weisberger narrated in the first person her experience as assistant to the editor-in-chief of one of the most important fashion magazines in the world, Runway . A sort of transcript of this magazine that served as a vehicle to uncover the vanities of the fashion world, but also to give the importance it deserves to an industry often branded as frivolous and insubstantial. It was in 2006 when this adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada , which has even had a musical version in London and New York, hit theatres. A cast with Meryl Streep in the role of Miranda Priestley, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt ran like clockwork for a film that became an instant classic and garnered two Oscar nominations that year, for Streep's performance and Patricia Field's incredible costumes. Since then, the film has positioned itself as a reference work for all fashion lovers and has become the less brainy and rather more punkish reverse of other feature films that delve into the world of fashion, such as Robert Altman's unforgettable Pret-a-porter . And in Hollywood where a dearth of ideas has become a running joke, the sequel was a given. What's more, Streep, Hathaway and Blunt took the stage at the 2024 SAG Awards to recreate one of the film's iconic scenes and hint that something was brewing. And so it has been. Who's in the cast of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'? As we've already discussed, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt will return as Miranda, Andy and Emily once again. Stanley Tucci is confirmed to return as Nigel. Joining the cast is Kenneth Branagh in the role of Miranda's husband. Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak and Justin Theroux will also be in the cast. The one who will not return, confirmed, is Adrien Grenier, who in the first installment plays Nate, the real villain of the film according to some fans. What is 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' about? Miranda Priestley has to deal with the loss of influence of luxury magazines and, above all, the lack of advertisers in traditional media. Runway is not what it used to be and to get it afloat again she will have to desperately get the investment of a group of luxury brands that now runs. Emily, the unfortunate character of Emily Blunt in the first of the films, has finally been able to travel to Paris fashion week. Nothing has been announced about Andy Sachs, the recent journalism graduate played by Anne Hathaway. We will remain expectant. Is it possible to see the trailer of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'? Not yet. Only a clip has been advanced in which the heel of the original film has been multiplied by two and the iconic phrases of the first feature are heard in the background.

Culture meets craft: Chow Tai Fook's Timeless Harmony high jewellery dazzles in Hangzhou
Set in Hangzhou, the launch of the Chow Tai Fook Timeless Harmony high jewellery collection embraced traditional Chinese motifs without clichés Chow Tai Fook debuted its latest high jewellery collection, Timeless Harmony, at Hangzhou's West Lake. But this was no ordinary launch—it was an exemplar of how cultural heritage can be honoured without resorting to cliché. Rather than relying on overt Chinese cultural symbols such as dragons or phoenixes, Chow Tai Fook's creative director of high jewellery Nicholas Lieou crafted something far more nuanced. The Hong Kong-born jewellery designer presented a seven-part collection that draws inspiration from Chinese philosophy and architecture, translating concepts such as stillness, balance and structural harmony into wearable art. Despite being characterised by clean and precise forms, Timeless Harmony was several years in the making, with some of the pieces requiring hundreds or even thousands of hours to complete. The resulting 100-plus pieces—made from precious metals, such as platinum, pure gold and 18 karat gold, as well as jadeite, pearls, diamonds and other, coloured gemstones—that are a quiet ode to the jewellery maison's eastern heritage.
