Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco to make huge comeback in new mystery thriller for Prime Video
The 39-year-old actress - who is perhaps best known for her role as Penny on the hit sitcom 'The Big Bang Theory' - will soon be seen starring alongside Sam Claflin of 'Peaky Blinders' fame in the upcoming series 'Vanished' on Amazon's streaming platform.
Tushar Jindal, Head of Content Acquisitions, Prime Video UK said: 'With Kaley and Sam leading an incredible cast, this gripping thriller will keep viewers guessing at every turn. We're delighted to bring Vanished to Prime Video in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada and we can't wait for audiences to be swept up in the mystery!"
When a couple's trip to Paris takes a dark turn with the sudden disappearance of her boyfriend Tom (Claflin) aboard a train to the south of France, Alice (Cuoco) is plunged into a web of intrigue and danger, uncovering secrets about the man she thought she knew.
Production is underway in Marseille, France for the four-part series and it is expected that it will debut on the streaming platform in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand at some point in 2026.
The new role will act as something of a comeback for Kaley, who has not been seen since 'Based On A True Story' concluded its two-season run towards the end of last year.
Prior to that, Kaley - who has 18-month-old daughter Matilda with her fiancé Tom Pelphrey - starred in the film 'Role Play' alongside David Oyelowo.
But the star - who shot to fame as a teenager with her role on the long-running sitcom '8 Simple Rules' - reverently admitted that she would be happy to return to her signature role as Penny on 'The Big Bang Theory', more than five years after it came to an end.
She told PEOPLE: "I would absolutely reprise that role.
'100%. I love that character, and I always will.'

Jeff Bezos ‘didn't make any of his wedding guest VIPs sign gagging contracts'
Jeff Bezos didn't make any of the VIPs at his wedding sign gagging contracts, one of his guests claims. The Amazon founder billionaire, 61, and his partner Lauren Sanchez, 55, exchanged vows at the end ofd June during a weekend of celebrations held at a private venue in Venice. And one of the couple's guests, 44-year-old actress and podcast host Sara Foster has now spoken candidly about attending the lavish ceremony. Sara, who is the daughter of music producer David Foster, revealed behind-the-scenes details of the three-day celebration in Italy during an episode of The World's First Podcast, which she co-hosts with her sister Erin Foster. She said: 'No one signed NDAs. No NDAs.' Jeff and Lauren's wedding, which took place on 27 June, brought together a guest list of more than 200 people, including some of the world's most high-profile names. Sara added the event felt far more intimate than the public had been led to believe. She said: 'There's nothing – it's so interesting how the optics were this over the top, you know, protesters… it's just not, it's not what it was. 'It actually felt very intimate.' The ceremony, reported to have cost around $50 million, attracted global media attention and saw the presence of celebrities such as Mick Jagger, 80, Oprah Winfrey, 70, Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, Sydney Sweeney, 26, Jerry Seinfeld, 70, Orlando Bloom, 47, Jessica Alba, 43, Bill Gates, 68, Brooks Nader, 27, and Ivanka Trump, 42. Members of the Kardashian-Jenner family were also in attendance, including Kim Kardashian, 43, Khloé Kardashian, 40, Kendall Jenner, 28, Kylie Jenner, 27, and Kris Jenner, 68. Sara addressed the criticism she received online after sharing photos from the wedding on Instagram. 'Here's the problem. You can't say anything anymore without being attacked,' she said. Sara added: 'I swear to God, it never occurred to me once that anybody would take issue with people attending a wedding. Truly. It really didn't. It didn't.' She also hinted at the discretion of some attendees. Sara went on: 'There were definitely a lot of people that were not photographed. 'I can't. I mean, that's, like, so lame. I'm not gonna do that. But it's very interesting how many people went un-photographed. It was definitely a very interesting setup.'

Matteo Bocelli eyes duet with his hero Ed Sheeran after working with his co-writer on new album
Matteo Bocelli would love to duet with his idol Ed Sheeran. The son of legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli, 66, has worked with Grammy winner Ed's co-writer Amy Wadge - with whom he penned huge hit Thinking Out Loud - on the balladeer's upcoming second studio album, Falling In Love. The 27-year-old singer's famous father featured on a 2017 classical version of Ed's song Perfect, Perfect Symphony. And, he would love to follow in his parent's footsteps and duet with Ed, but admits he would likely get overwhelmed and struggle to "handle the situation" - despite having performed for King Charles, and at the weddings of Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos and his spouse Lauren Sánchez and reality star Kourtney Kardashian and Blink-182 rocker Travis Barker. Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Matteo said when asked about a potential collaboration with the Bad Habits hitmaker: "Always. I was so honoured to have received a song written by him and his brother [Matthew Sheeran], called Chasing Stars. But obviously, yes, I would love one day to be on stage with him - but I don't know if I'd be able to handle the situation." It was after Ed came to Italy to record Perfect Symphony and spent time with the Bocelli's that he found out Matteo was looking for material for his debut album, 2023's Matteo, and later sent him Chasing Stars, about a close bond between a father and son. Matteo - who brought all of his co-writers and producers that worked on the new album to his Tuscany home to record the album - also praised Amy for making him feel at ease expressing himself with "no filters". He said of the heartfelt songwriter: "I worked with Amy many times, multiple times, and she is not just an incredible songwriter, but she's a beautiful soul. She's a beautiful human being. And at the bottom of you know, every writing session, I need to have these people. I need to have people with which I feel myself, with which I feel I'm able to express myself, you know, freely, with no filters. And she's one of them. And so yes, I'm very excited to have a song with her that is To Get To Love You." Matteo's new album Falling In Love is released September 12 on Decca Records. He tours the UK in November. Matteo Bocelli's 2025 UK tour dates: November 2, Manchester, The Bridgewater Hall November 4, Birmingham Symphony Hall November 5, London Adelphi Theatre

'Sex and the City' star Sarah Jessica Parker gets tongue-tied in awkward response to Lauren Sánchez Vogue cover question
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker tripped over her words while trying to avoid answering a question about Lauren Sánchez gracing the cover of Vogue in tandem with her highly publicized wedding to Jeff Bezos. During a game titled 'Hello, Lover, or Leave It?' on Sunday's episode of 'Watch What Happens Live,' host Andy Cohen asked his guest — and longtime pal — how she felt about Sánchez's cover story with the prestigious fashion magazine. Parker, 60, raised her eyebrows and let out a high-pitched 'um' before shrugging her shoulders and lifting her hands up in the air. 'I … I … I … I mean …' the 'Sex and the City' star stuttered with an uncomfortable grin on her face. Eventually, Parker — who has been on the cover of Vogue multiple times over the years, most recently in 2021 — said, 'Why shouldn't she? I was fortunate enough. Why shouldn't she as well have that opportunity?' As for Sánchez, she got her time to shine last month. Mere moments after the former news anchor, 55, said 'I do' to the billionaire Amazon founder in Venice, Italy, in front of a gaggle of famous faces, published an article titled, 'Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos Are Married! See Inside Her Final Wedding Dress Fitting.' For both her cover shoot and the star-studded nuptials, which cost around $50 million, Sánchez wore a lace long-sleeved Dolce & Gabbana gown. The dress featured a corseted waist, turtleneck and buttons from the neck to the floor, culminating in a mermaid-style skirt. The mother of three wore her dark brown hair pulled back into a loose bun, leaving some pieces out in front underneath her lace-trimmed veil. She accessorized with Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings featuring four diamonds cut from a single stone and inlaid in white gold as her 'something borrowed.' Sánchez — known for showing off her fit physique in revealing outfits — drew her inspiration from the high-necked lace wedding dress Sophia Loren's character wore to marry Cary Grant's character in the 1958 rom-com 'Houseboat.' 'It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment and where I am right now,'' she told Vogue, acknowledging that the look is 'a departure from what people expect.' But according to Sánchez, she is 'a different person than [she] was five years ago.' As Page Six previously reported, Anna Wintour — who recently stepped down as Vogue's editor-in-chief — helped Sánchez come to a final decision on her gown.
