Jason Momoa celebrates 46 with Dune III, Chief of War premiere, beard gone but one wish remains
Chief of War dives into the history of Hawaii in the 18th century, and Momoa-who co-created it with Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, did not hold back about what it means to him. 'I feel like this whole thing has chosen me in a way, like this is my destiny. To play my ancestors is such a responsibility. It's scary and exciting,' he said.
Jason Momoa shaves his beard
A few days before his birthday, Momoa shaved off his beard for the first time in six years. In a July 30 Instagram video, he ran an electric shaver across his face, talking about ditching single-use plastic as clumps of his beard dropped to the ground. 'Haven't shaved in six years, and here we are again,' he wrote in the caption.
The clean-shaven look came just in time for day one back in the Dune universe-and this time, he is not going alone. His 16-year-old son Nakoa-Wolf is joining the cast of Dune: Part Three, Momoa confirmed. 'He's into the workforce for the first time. He did it on his own. I don't want to help him, and he's done it all on his own, and good for him,' Momoa said to Extra.

Silo Season 3: Cast, plot, new faces, and everything to know about Apple TV+'s dystopian epic
Apple TV+ has officially renewed its hit sci-fi series 'Silo' for a third season, continuing the story based on Hugh Howey's dystopian trilogy 'Wool, Shift, and Dust'. The critically acclaimed series explores the lives of 10,000 survivors living deep underground in a silo, cut off from a toxic world above and governed by strict rules and deadly secrets. At the centre of the mystery is Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson), an engineer determined to uncover the truth behind a murder and the origins of their confined society. Season 3 will go back in time, drawing from Howey's second novel, Shift, to explore the events that led to the construction of the silo system. 'We get into the origin story [of the Pez dispenser], but we're also deep into our silo world,' showrunner Graham Yost told TIME in January 2025. 'There'll also be more to learn about the dirty bomb." Yost added in a December 2024 press release, 'It has been a richly rewarding experience to adapt Hugh's epic novels with our partners at Apple, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this complete story to the screen over the course of four seasons.' While no official release date has been announced, Apple confirmed on X that filming for season 3 wrapped in May 2025. Seasons 3 and 4 are being filmed back-to-back. Most of the main cast is expected to return, including Rebecca Ferguson, Steve Zahn, Common, Harriet Walter, Clare Perkins, and others. Jessica Henwick and Ashley Zukerman, who appeared in the season 2 finale, will join as regulars. Tim Robbins and Iain Glen may not return. Season 3 will offer a rare glimpse of the outside world, bringing light—literally and figuratively—into the dark, claustrophobic narrative. You can stream Silo exclusively on Apple TV+.
