‘Couples Therapy' is renewed for Season 5
June 6 (UPI) -- Paramount+ announced Friday that Couples Therapy is getting a fifth season.
The news arrives after the second installment of Season 4 began streaming May 23 on Paramount+ with Showtime. Viewership increased 30% across platforms when compared to the previous season, a press release states.
The series follows Dr. Orna Guralnik's real-life therapy sessions with various couples she is counseling through relationship challenges.
Couples Therapy showcases both the breakdowns and the breakthroughs, according to an official synopsis.
Season 4B introduced four new couples.
"People can just talk about nothing," said Guralnik in a recent preview for the episodes. "Either they just bicker endlessly or obsess over something that doesn't matter -- that's all noise... But as analysts we're trained to listen in for that and to find a way to move from noise to signal."

Watch: Mary prepares to take over 'Downton Abbey' in 'Grand Finale'
1 of 3 | The trailer for Michelle Dockery's "Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale" was released online Monday. File Photo by Christine Chew/UPI | License Photo June 30 (UPI) -- The first trailer for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, the third and final movie in the Downton Abbey franchise, was released Monday. The 2 1/2-minute preview shows Robert and Cora Crawley (Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern) preparing to hand over their palatial British country estate to their elder daughter Mary (Michelle Dockery), whose divorce is making her a pariah in social circles. "Families like ours must keep moving to survive," Mary tells her father. But the 1929 U.S. stock-market crash is also threatening the finances and security of the Crawleys and those who loyally serve them. Robert is seen asking Cora, "If Mama were alive, what would she do?" Late actress Maggie Smith portrayed Robert's late mother, Violet Crawley, in the franchise. Robert later kisses his hand and places it on the building his family has owned for generations. The clip ends with Mary saying, "Long live Downton Abbey," to her sister Edith (Laura Carmichael), who responds with a smile, "Amen to that." The film, which follows two others and a six-season TV show, is set for theatrical release on Sept. 12.

BBC apologizes for streaming Bob Vylan's 'antisemitic' Glastonbury set

Photo by Hugo Philpott/UPI | License Photo June 30 (UPI) -- The BBC has apologized for live-streaming Bob Vylan's Glastonbury Music Festival set over the weekend, calling it "deeply offensive" and "antisemitic." The British rap duo -- comprised of artists Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan -- led the concertgoers, some of whom were waving Palestinian flags, in chants of "Death, death to the IDF," "From the river to the sea" and "Free, free Palestine" at the high-profile event, according to video posted on Bobby's Instagram account. After receiving expressions of what he described as being of both "support and hatred" over the weekend, Bobby doubled down on his message with an Instagram post Sunday, stating, "I said what I said." But the BBC is expressing regret over sharing the duo's festival performance with a global audience. "Millions of people tuned in to enjoy Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC's output but one performance within our live-streams included comments that were deeply offensive. The BBC respects freedom of expression, but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. We welcome Glastonbury's condemnation of the performance," the BBC said in a lengthy statement Monday. "The performance was part of a live stream of the West Holts stage on BBC iPlayer. The judgment on Saturday to issue a warning on screen while streaming online was in line with our editorial guidelines. In addition, we took the decision not to make the performance available on demand. The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen," the statement continued. "In light of this weekend, we will look at our guidance around live events so we can be sure teams are clear on when it is acceptable to keep output on air."

5 Insightful Analyst Questions From Paramount's Q1 Earnings Call
Paramount's first quarter results were positively received by the market, reflecting operational improvements despite ongoing industry pressures. Management credited strong engagement on Paramount+ and robust sports programming on CBS for mitigating declines in traditional TV and digital advertising. Co-CEO Chris McCarthy highlighted, 'Our focused execution with high performing content drove strong results across the company,' pointing to D2C (direct-to-consumer) profitability improvements and subscriber growth. Advertiser demand for live sports and hit programming, such as the NFL playoffs and NCAA tournaments, helped offset digital ad softness, while cost discipline and content investment supported margin expansion. Is now the time to buy PARA? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $7.19 billion vs analyst estimates of $7.1 billion (6.4% year-on-year decline, 1.3% beat) Adjusted EPS: $0.29 vs analyst estimates of $0.26 (12% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $688 million vs analyst estimates of $642.5 million (9.6% margin, 7.1% beat) Operating Margin: 7.6%, up from -5.4% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $8.85 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Steven Cahall (Wells Fargo) asked about digital ad pricing pressure and affiliate revenue outlook; Co-CEO Chris McCarthy said supply-demand imbalances in digital ads persist but expects normalization, while Co-CEO George Cheeks highlighted the importance of affiliate partnerships for revenue stability. Robert Fishman (MoffettNathanson) questioned content licensing strategy; Co-CEO Brian Robbins explained Paramount is balancing exclusive use of key IP on its own platforms with selective licensing to third parties for incremental revenue. Ben Swinburne (Morgan Stanley) inquired about the long-term outlook for linear declines and streaming growth; CFO Naveen Chopra emphasized subscriber declines and deal renewals as key linear trends, while streaming growth is driven by subscriber and ARPU gains. Richard Greenfield (LightShed) probed on the relationship with Taylor Sheridan and 101 Studios; McCarthy explained the value of the exclusive creative partnership and preference for the current model of collaboration rather than acquisition. Rick Preis (Raymond James) raised the potential for bundling, joint ventures, and M&A McCarthy stated Paramount remains opportunistic, with current success in partnerships like Walmart but open to future combinations that add value. In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will watch (1) the trajectory of Paramount+ subscriber growth and profitability milestones, (2) trends in digital and linear advertising monetization as industry supply and macroeconomic conditions evolve, and (3) execution on upcoming franchise launches and major film releases. Additional attention will be on the pace of expense reductions and any strategic moves, such as partnerships or M&A, that could reshape Paramount's competitive landscape. Paramount currently trades at $12.52, up from $11.68 just before the earnings. In the wake of this quarter, is it a buy or sell? See for yourself in our full research report (it's free).
