‘Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story' Star Cooper Koch On First Emmy Nom & Having An Effect On Events In 'Real-Time Before Our Eyes'
It's shaping up to be quite a good week for Cooper Koch, who just received his first Emmy nomination this morning for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series. Not only is he ecstatic about the news, the nomination came as a bit of an early present for him. 'Today's the greatest day and it's my birthday tomorrow,' says Koch. 'That's the best birthday present in the entire world.' Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story is the second season of Ryan Murphy's Monster anthology series for Netflix, centering on the 1989 murders of José (Javier Bardem) and Kitty Menendez (Chloë Sevigny), who were killed by their sons Lyle (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Erik (Koch). The season was nominated for 11 Emmys, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series.

'I found out about the story when I was auditioning for the Law & Order series and the Lifetime movie back in 2017,' he says. 'Since then, I've always had this deep care and passion for the brothers and sort of believing their side of the story.' A chance to show that care and passion came about with the fifth episode of the season, 'The Hurt Man' – a one-shot episode where Erik speaks about the abuse he suffered from his parents as a child. 'It's such a testament to Ian Brennan's work on writing the script,' says Koch. 'He really captured the way that both Erik and Leslie (Ari Graynor) sound and behave, and just the entire circumference of what it means to have experienced a form of sexual abuse… I don't know if I will ever get a script that is better than that, and I don't know if I'll ever do work that I feel as passionate about or proud of.' Something that makes the recognition even more meaningful for Koch is that the actual Menendez brothers are still in the midst of trials. 'For the past year, this is still something that's happening live, and in real-time before our eyes,' he says. 'If I, or the show and everybody who worked on the show, has had anything to do to sort of move the needle and impact the real-life events that are happening in front of our eyes, then that just means the world… If I had the ability to change the outcome of someone's life for the better, there's nothing better than that.' Of course, there's no rest for Koch who is already gearing up for Luca Guadagnino's AI-themed film Artificial. 'I'm going to be shooting that in August, and I have a couple of plays that I've been circulating that are still sort of in early development,' he says. 'But the thing I'm going to do next is Artificial.'

Has Sirens been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Renewed or Cancelled? Sirens is the latest comedic drama on Netflix, with an energetic cast and a simple but effective premise. Having watched the first season in its entirety, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more! What is Sirens about? Sirens is the latest black comedy on Netflix, created by Molly Smith Metzlerand based on her 2011 play Elemeno Pea. The story unfolds throughout one explosive weekend at a lavish beach estate. Here, Simone has let her billionaire boss take over her life, but when her sister, Devon, shows up, everything comes unravelled fast! Has Sirens been renewed for Season 2? At the time of writing, Sirens has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Real Men has had a very mixed reaction online from critics and audiences alike. Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. The series has potential no doubt, but given its based on a play and the ending is quite conclusive, given the end scene with both girls on the boat, it seems unlikely to get a second season nod. Furthermore, this has been listed as a Limited Series and while that doesn't always mean a single season only, it is a strong indicator of this. However, we could be completely wrong too, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt! What we know about season 2 so far: Barely anything is known about Sirens season 2 at this point given Netflix haven't officially renewed or cancelled this one. Given the first season's conclusion, it sees very unlikely that this will change. However, should this get the nod we'd expect another 5 episode season and a return of the same cast and crew too. We will update this page when more information becomes available, so be sure to check this page out in the near future. Would you like to see Sirens return for a second season?

Is ‘The White Lotus' Coming Back For Season 4? Here's Everything To Know So Far
Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola in "The White Lotus" Season 3. The third season of The White Lotus may be checking out tonight, but don't pack your bags just yet. Mike White's twisted vacation anthology isn't closing its doors anytime soon. HBO has officially renewed the hit series for a fourth season, so here's everything we know about the next Lotus location, release timeline, and more. A fourth season of The White Lotus was officially greenlit by HBO in January 2025, a few weeks ahead of the Season 3 premiere. The series has been a massive hit for the network, earning 15 Emmys across its first two seasons, including Outstanding Limited Series for its inaugural season. Season 3 has delivered plenty of chaos—violence, armed robbery, corporate fraud, threats, and even fraternal incest—but so far, not much death (aside from the flash-forward in the premiere, where a unknown body is found floating in a pond). The cast has described the upcoming finale with phrases like 'mouth-agape shocking,' 'profound,' and 'emotional and deeply satisfying,' so viewers should buckle up for a wild ride in Episode 8. As the dramatic finale unfolds, here's everything to know about Season 4, including where the next White Lotus resort could be set. Walton Goggins in "The White Lotus" Season 3. HBO has not yet announced a release date for Season 4 of The White Lotus. Production is expected to begin sometime in 2026, which—based on the show's previous timelines—means the next season likely won't premiere until late 2026 or even 2027. Jon Gries in "The White Lotus" Season 3. The destination for The White Lotus Season 4 hasn't been announced yet, but creator Mike White has previously said it's his dream for the show to 'hit every continent.' So far, the series has explored North America (Hawaii), Europe (Sicily), and Asia (Thailand), leaving South America, Australia, Africa, and even Antarctica still on the map. White made that comment while speaking at a festival in Sydney, according to Vulture, where he also alluded to the 'wealth of talent' in Australia, saying, 'The beauty is inarguable, so it feels like it checks all the boxes.' So, there's definitely a chance the next season could take place in the land Down Under. But perhaps the most definitive clue came from HBO executive Francesca Orsi, who told Deadline at the show's Season 3 premiere on Feb. 10 that location scouting would begin in the coming weeks. 'I can't really say where we're going to land,' Orsi said at the time, 'but chances are somewhere in Europe.' One European destination that likely won't get The White Lotus treatment is Paris. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, creator Mike White explained that the show's next location could be hugely impactful [to that locale]. 'It's hard to go backward. Like, 'Oh, we'll do it in Paris!' That feels like a cop-out,' he told the site. He continued, 'At the same time, I'm not a cultural ambassador. I'm a random writer. I need to focus on what I'm excited about creatively and not get too far ahead of myself.' It also looks like Antarctica may be off the table—at least for now. White Lotus producer David Bernad said during the February 26 episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast that viewers should expect the next location to be in a country with a warm climate. 'Mike does not like the cold … he's a California guy, he's not built for the cold,' Bernad said. 'Never say never, but I would be surprised.' Natasha Rothwell and Nicholas Duvernay in "The White Lotus" Season 3. While it's tempting to speculate which cast members might return for the next installment, it's impossible to say for sure ahead of the Season 3 finale. That said, The White Lotus is no stranger to bringing back familiar faces. Jennifer Coolidge's Tanya appeared in Seasons 1 and 2, Natasha Rothwell's Belinda returned for Seasons 1 and 3, and Jon Gries's Greg (aka Gary) has appeared in all three seasons to date. As for Season 3, it's still unclear which characters will make it out alive. We know at least one person is dead, after Belinda's son discovered a body in the pond following a flurry of gunshots at the resort. Truth be told, here's to hoping Parker Posey's character survives—if only so we can hear her deliver more iconic lines like 'Piper, no!', 'Lorazepam,' and 'Buuudhism.' There's also the possibility that your surviving favorites from all three seasons could return from previous installments. Patrick Schwarzenegger, who portrays Saxon, told THR in April that he's heard rumors of an 'all-stars season' that would bring a bunch of former White Lotus guests together. White weighed in on the rumour and told THR that he would 'love to do that." Parker Posey in "The White Lotus" Season 3. The music for The White Lotus Season 4 could sound very different from the previous three seasons. The show's composer, Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, recently confirmed to The New York Times that he will not return for Season 4 due to creative differences with White. When he addressed the change to the soundtrack in Season 3, he said, "When [the season three theme] came out, I had TMZ calling me, even people from England and from France, because they wanted some kind of statement about the theme. People are furious about the change of the theme, and I thought that was interesting." De Veer revealed that he had created a longer version of the song, one that was closer in style to the previous scores, which could have been used in the opening credits. "I texted the producer and I told him that it would be great to, at some point, give them the longer version with the ooh-loo-loo-loos, because people will explode if they realise that it was going there anyway. He thought it was a good idea. But then [White] cut that – he wasn't happy about that." De Veer also alleged that his conversations with producers could become "hysterical" and that he was repeatedly asked for music that was more experimental than he wanted to create. He even likened his situation to being in a rock band, saying he's "the guitar player" who "doesn't understand the singer at all." "Maybe I was being unprofessional, and for sure Mike feels that I was always unprofessional to him because I didn't give him what he wanted. But what I gave him did this, you know — did those Emmys, people going crazy," he added. Stay tuned for more updates on The White Lotus Season 4. The Season 3 finale premieres Sunday, April 6, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO. Watch the official teaser for Episode 8 below.
