Romantasy Fans, The 'Fourth Wing' TV Show Just Took A Big Step Forward

For those awaiting the arrival of a 'Fourth Wing' TV show, the delays can seem long. And many fans of the Empyrean series of books by Rebecca Yaros may have worried that the show was lost in a development purgatory with little to no news ever being announced. But yesterday, the show took a big step forward - one that should reassure fans that the show is still in with a good chance of making it to their screens before too long. It was reported by Deadline yesterday that Moira Walley-Beckett, who was tapped as the showrunner by Amazon Prime Video (who are creating the show) over a year ago, has left the project. Then the industry publication updated their story to say that Jac Shaeffer could be the show's new showrunner. Although no decision has been made yet, sources told them the creator has signed a deal with the studio and is in discussions to lead the romatasy series as writer, executive producer and showrunner. For fans of the show desperate for nuggets of information on what their favourite book might look like on screen, Schaeffer is perhaps best known for her work on the Marvel fan-favourite series, Agatha All Along and WandaVision. So at the very least you know it'll be fun and stylish. In more industry-ish news, another producing team has been added to the show - Deadline says: 'Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy's Amazon MGM Studios-based Kilter Films (Prime Video's Fallout, The Peripheral) has joined Michael B. Jordan's Outlier Society, which had been on board since Amazon MGM Studios secured the rights to The Empyrean book series in 2023, along with Premediated Productions.' What does that mean? Well, it means more hands and money at the wheel - and at the very least, some reassurance for fans that their favourite book will end up on Amazon Prime Video sooner rather than later. Yaros' books are at the forefront of the romantasy movement which has taken over the world - the Empyrean series is planned to be five books. The first three, Fourth Wing (which spent 88 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list), Iron Flame and Onyx Storm have been released to worldwide success, with fans desperate to read the final two. In the books, dragons and their riders meet at an elite school known as Basgiath War College. There, Violet—small, underestimated, and with a chronic condition similar to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome—eschews what she thought would be a quiet life as a scribe for a chance to spar alongside other riders and bond with not one but two dragons. She also meets the traitorous (read: hot) Xaden Riorson, a wingleader already bonded to the dragon Sgaeyl, as he helps train Violet for dragonback—and for the war threatening their homeland, Navarre.

Fan-Favorite Disney Plus MCU Series Reportedly Canceled

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has turned into an ever-expanding franchise with a thriving continuity tied to dozens of beloved films and shows. The studio isn't always eager to renew some of its properties, however, and now one Disney Plus series tied to the MCU has been reportedly canceled. Cancellations are always frustrating, especially when it comes to fan-favorite TV shows, and streaming services like Disney Plus must frequently make decisions regarding which shows they renew or outright cancel. Now, after a silence from the studio, it looks like one series has been canceled without any fanfare. As explained by a new report, the cancellation when asked whether or not fans could expect to see new episodes of the series which last saw a release in 2024. Here's what TVLine shared: 'I'm hearing that there are no new episodes of the Disney+ franchise planned at this time,' he answered. His response refers to Marvel Studios: Assembled , a TV series that aired on Disney Plus with each episode diving into the making of various MCU projects. With so many new movies having been released in the last few years, there are certainly plenty of stories worth telling in the series, but it looks like that's no longer the plan. The last episode of Marvel Studios: Assembled released was in November 2024, and it tackled the making of Agatha All Along . While there are still other projects having been released recently like Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts , both of which would be perfect for episodes on the series, that's seemingly not going to happen. As of this writing, Marvel Studios: Assembled only consists of 22 episodes. While MCU fans were delighted by the Disney Plus series, the decision to have it canceled may be baffling, though it seems to be an example of the studio's efforts to downsize their output. After all, they want to make Disney Plus more successful, and adding too much Marvel content both saturates their catalogue and increases costs. Of course, we could always see a comeback for the series in the future, so we'll have to see what happens on that front. Hopefully this isn't the last we see of Marvel Studios: Assembled . For fans hoping that the more recent MCU releases would be receiving episodes, however, it looks like you shouldn't hold your breath.

Best LGBTQ TV And Movie Couples

To celebrate Pride 2025, we asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which LGBTQ+ TV and movie couples have the best chemistry of all time. Here are some of their top answers: First, Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez as Henry and Alex from Red, White & Royal Blue "They got me out of a shipping slump with how electric they are just from the trailer."—Anonymous, 40, New Zealand"Definitely Alex and Henry from RWRB. I haven't moved on from them and keep on reading fan fiction and watching fan videos. All to tide me over until the sequel is finally here."—Anonymous, 35, Belgium"They are incredible. The heart eyes are the best you will ever see. Same with the kisses and casual touches. No 1. 🥰."—Anonymous Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza as Agatha and Rio from Agatha All Along "Definitely Agatha and Rio. I have never been more heartbroken or more feral than seeing those two lesbians interact. There's something so beautiful about two people who would do anything for the other (even if they deny it)."—Anonymous, 21, Georgia"Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza because their chemistry is just insane and it's the biggest loss of my life."—Anonymous, 16, UK Katherine Barrell and Dominique Provost-Chalkley as Nicole and Waverly from Wynonna Earp "Their chemistry was immediately off the charts and led to Kat going from the initial three-episode contract to permanent cast member, the actors and show going on to win multiple awards. The show sadly ended five years ago, but I will never move on from the magic that was Wayhaught."—Anonymous"Their chemistry is just through the roof. The best representation I have ever seen, and so lucky that it exists."—Anonymous, 25, Belgium Kit Connor and Joe Locke as Nick and Charlie from Heartstopper "Kit and Joe have such great chemistry in real life, and it truly carries into the show. Both actors really deeply understand their characters and where they are coming from for each scene and every moment that it makes it seem so real and alive."—Anonymous Hailee Steinfeld and Katie Leung as Vi and Caitlyn from Arcane "'Cupcake...'"—Anonymous, 22 Minnesota Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced as Ellie and Dina from The Last of Us "My experience is limited, but definitely Ellie and Dina."—Anonymous, 26 Scotland Cameron Monaghan and Noel Fisher as Ian and Mickey from Shameless "They brought us everything from laughter to joy to passion to pain, and did it all with a chemistry that made it seem effortless."—Anonymous, 49, Canada"They are the blueprint!"—Anonymous"These guys were so charismatic that when the writers split them up, people complained for MULTIPLE SEASONS until they brought Mickey back. We're talking a decade-plus of these two being together, with chemistry so good they made a minor character into a member of the main cast because he married into the family. Chemistry so good they had to do an in-character announcement online to reveal they were getting back together. Also, the fact that their story isn't all sunshine and roses meant that we got to see them trying their best to support each other, even in their awful circumstances. That doesn't always work out, but it means that their finale is so much sweeter when they overcome it all."—Anonymous, 26"They literally carried the show post-Emmy Rossum leaving! Plus, the writing and character development remained consistently good as opposed to the rest of the show."—Anonymous John Turturro and Christopher Walken as Irving and Burt from Severance "I think the most recent example I can think of that I felt had great chemistry was probably John Turturro as Irving and Christopher Walken as Burt in Severance. These two actors, who typically play vastly different types of characters (and this may have even been an entirely new avenue for both of them!), had wonderful onscreen chemistry! I loved seeing them together, seeing their love story. Even though Season 2 was frustrating in a lot of ways, the way they ended the scene at the train station was beautiful ♥️."—Anonymous, 25, Michigan Jacob Anderson and Sam Reed as Louis and Lestat from Interview with the Vampire "They just have the toxic love, so well done. The second Sam Reed as Lestat looked at Louis, you just knew he was hooked. In the last scene of Season 2, when they just embraced each other and wept…I would give my left foot to know what they were saying to each other. But you know that it's something worthy of an immortal romance reunion."—Anonymous, 21 Chicago Danielle Savre and Stefania Spampinato as Maya and Carina from Station 19 "There's good chemistry on TV, and then there's chemistry that changes the entire course of a TV show, and that's really what Danielle and Stefania had on Station 19. Their work together as Maya and Carina completely transformed the show (and their characters), and it was just brilliant to watch. For me, Maya is one of the best bisexual characters on TV. Her character arc was just so authentic."—noradominick Naya Rivera and Heather Morris as Santana and Brittany from Glee —Anonymous Dan Levy and Noah Reid as David and Patrick from Schitt's Creek "Their wedding was one of the greatest moments of TV from the COVID era (when I finally got to binge-watch the series)."—Anonymous, 42, Sydney, Australia Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel as Marianne and Héloïse from Portrait of a Lady on Fire "It's sapphic perfection, and their chemistry truly is on fire. 🔥."—Anonymous, 27, Delaware Liv Hewson and Jasmine Savoy Brown as Van and Tai from Yellowjackets "So much chemistry!"—Anonymous Marwan Kenzari and Luca Marinelli as Joe and Nicky from The Old Guard "Joe's van speech is the epitome of romance, and all their little touches and gestures make the relationship feel real."—Anonymous, 35, Portland, OR Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill as The Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz from Doctor Who "I'm still not remotely over the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz. They never properly realized during their time on the show, but both admitted to having feelings for each other, and they had the most wonderful relationship regardless. Bonus: In the finale of the most recent season, three years after her exit from the show, the Thirteenth Doctor returned and, when told 'I love you' by the current Fifteenth Doctor, she responded with, 'I should say that to Yaz.' SCREAMING!"—Anonymous, 22, Illinois Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi as Stede and Ed in Our Flag Means Death "They feel organic together with their different personalities, their chemistry is on point, and they never fail to make me feel warm inside."—diamond_girl_7 Kiana Madeira and Olivia Welch as Deena and Sam from Fear Street Suggested by: luxahoy Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett as Bill and Frank in The Last of Us "Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett blew me away. I haven't cried at an episode of television like that since. Their portrayal was so real and beautiful. It was nice to see a happy queer relationship between men, as that is not as often depicted!"—Anonymous, 35, Wisconsin Keiynan Lonsdale and Tom Green as Sammy and Ollie from Dance Academy "Sammy and Ollie had excellent chemistry. We watch Sammy struggle with his sexuality for a season and a half, during which time he dates and breaks up with several girls. Then, in one episode, the dance school hosts a local football team that needs to practice their coordination. Near the end, one of the footballers asks Sammy on a date. Instead of saying he's not gay, he says he's unavailable. Sammy develops a crush on his roommate, and his friend Kat helps him explore development of Sammy's sexuality comes to a head when Sammy is held back a year, Ollie is kicked off the third-year tour, and they're assigned to each other in a tutor/student relationship. Ollie is openly gay, and Sammy is still struggling with his own sexuality. The forced proximity leads Sammy to develop a crush on Ollie. Ollie lies and pretends Sammy isn't his a whole will-they-won't-they thing for a while until they both admit their feelings and begin dating. The chemistry they have together makes them both better people, better dancers, and even better friends to each other and everyone not for all the external drama concerning Sammy's family, he and Ollie should have been endgame."—Anonymous, 35, Arizona Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie as Amy and Kirsten in Vigil "I'm going to add Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie as Amy and Kirsten in Vigil. They have beautiful chemistry on and off-screen and play off of each other really well."—ravenbard Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg as Wille and Simon in Young Royals Suggested by: theoatcake Caity Lotz and Jes Macallan as Sara and Ava from Legends of Tomorrow Suggested by: awfulkitten67 Danielle Brooks and Elizabeth Faith Ludlow as Leota and Keeya from Peacemaker "They're so sweet and supportive."—lovelytortoise925 Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor as Xena and Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess "Can't believe no one has said Xena and Gabrielle. They had the greatest couple chemistry of all time, bar none."—coolphone30 Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Aziraphale and Crowley in Good Omens "They work together so perfectly that it's one of those rare instances where I love the show just as much as the book. Also, the friendship Michael and David developed IRL is the cutest thing ever."—aliceinautieland And finally, Mary-Louis Parker and Mary Stuart Masterson as Ruth and Idgie from Fried Green Tomatoes Suggested by: keepintabs Looking for more LGBTQ+ or Pride content?

This is the one Disney Plus show I'm watching this Pride Month — and it's a binge-worthy witchy adventure

Happy Pride Month! Over the past decade, streaming services have increasingly become home to many, many LGBTQ+ movies and TV shows. Whether they are romantic comedies or spy thrillers featuring queer characters in leading or supporting roles, I love the variety available. But as a lifelong Marvel Cinematic Universe fan (I've got two MCU-specific tattoos), I've wanted a queer Marvel show for years now — and it finally came in the form of "Agatha All Along" last October. And I've been obsessed with it ever since. Not just because it's the sequel to "WandaVision," a show I absolutely adore, but because it's got fantastic storytelling and, best of all, solid queer representation that I find very relatable. If you need a show to binge-watch and, like me, love a witchy adventure, then "Agatha All Along" should be right up your alley, and it's streaming on Disney Plus right now. Here are the reasons why I'm watching the show for the ninth time. Also, if you haven't watched the show yet, I'll be discussing minor spoilers in this article; you have been warned. "Agatha All Along" takes place three years after the events of "WandaVision" when Agatha Harkness (played by the ridiculously talented Kathryn Hahn) breaks free from the Scarlett Witch's spell. Along with Teen (played by Joe Locke, and whose real identity is a mystery until the season's midpoint), three other witches, and Rio Vidal (played by Aubrey Plaza), Agatha assembles a coven to take on the trials of the infamous Witches' Road. Each episode focuses on a trial tailored to the coven's members, and the prize at the end of the Road is glory, power, anything the victor's heart desires. With beautiful set design and a banging ballad with several versions, "Agatha All Along" is a captivating adventure with twists and turns... and major reveals. When I watched "Parks and Recreation" ages ago, I always wished Kathryn Hahn's and Aubrey Plaza's characters interacted more — and the universe works in funny ways. I knew "Agatha All Along" was going to be a hit (in my eyes anyway) when Plaza was cast opposite Hahn. And neither actress was a let-down. As the coven walks the Witches' Road, the tension between Hahn's character Agatha and Plaza's character Rio is palpable. Rio's role in the story isn't fully revealed until the penultimate episode, so I'll leave that for you to uncover. But what we do know for the start is that Rio and Agatha have a past — and Hahn and Plaza play the part of exes extremely well. So well, in fact, that their chemistry has seen the birth of many fan edits on TikTok and Instagram Reels. Before filming the show, Hahn and Plaza kept themselves apart from each other and they exchanged love poems and music over text to build the tension, and it clearly worked in their favor as I felt like I could cut the tension with a knife while watching. Of course, Agatha and Rio aren't the only queer characters in "Agatha All Along." Joe Locke, well-known for playing the baby-gay Charlie in "Heartstopper," plays Teen, whose real identity is one of the biggest mysteries. Teen is also canonically queer, sporting painted nails and heavy eyeliner, and gushing about his boyfriend and coming very close to saying the L word. It's all very, very cute. Teen and Agatha make a formidable team, with both quipping as they make their way down the Road. There are a few dialogues that stuck with me since I first watched the show. I loved Agatha's "Hey, if you want straight answers, ask a straight lady" line so much that I got a jumper with the text printed on it. Locke also improvised the fantastic "I don't want to go back into the closet" line that gets a chuckle out of me every time. When Lilia, the Divination Witch, asks who the querent is during one of the trials, Locke hits back with, "I guess I'm the queerant!" There are other subtle ones, and all of them stick with you in one way or another. When "Agatha All Along" came out (pun intended), it opened to mixed reviews with critics and audiences disagreeing. Today, the show has an 84% critics score and 83% audience score — balance has been restored. For me, and this is a personal preference, "Agatha All Along" is one of the best MCU series. It's fun, quirky, beautifully produced and written, and it's unapologetically queer. The last of those reasons is what has quickly made it one of my most-watched shows. Aside from our three protagonists being canonically queer, it's implied that others, like Jen and Alice, are too. But what's also great about "Agatha All Along" is that the story never focuses overtly on the characters' queerness. Queerness isn't over- or hypersexualized, and you can tell the show hasn't been written for the male gaze. The characters are messy and often unhinged, and this is the queer representation I've always wanted to see in Marvel. As someone whose teenage years were heavily moulded by movies like "The Avengers" and predominantly straight characters, I can finally see a character like me on screen, and when you get that kind of accurate representation, you're left wondering, "Why hasn't this been the case all along?" I can only thank the casting directors for bringing Aubrey Plaza and Joe Locke on board because both have added a vibrancy the MCU lacked. And Kathryn Hahn becoming known as a queer icon amongst the lesbian community wasn't on my bingo card, but we're all better for it. "Agatha All Along" is available to stream on Disney Plus.
