Ben Stiller is assuring “Severance” fans that Season 2 is still on its way, more than two years since the Apple TV+ series rolled out its acclaimed first season.
Stiller responded to show super-fan Sza on Twitter, after the singer-songwriter called out the series director and executive producer.
“Was trying to be polite but I really need a new season of ‘Severance’ right the fuck now,” Grammy winner Sza tweeted (via Complex).
Stiller replied, “Ok ok got it,” to which Sza clarified, “Omg please accept my humble apology lmao whenever ur ready is fine. Just dying of thirst it’s the best show ever! Ur a madman. Thank U mr stiller king sir!”
In later tweets, Sza even apologized and quote tweeted a fan who said she should understand how it feels now whenever someone asks her when she’s going to drop her next album.

I’m a big believer in tarot cards and fate guiding us, but after watching the film Killer Fortune Teller by Peter Sullivan, I’ve got to say that it’s kind of sketchy how some people exploit these beliefs for personal gain. The movie follows Shane, a wise businessman in the pharmaceutical world. Just like his father, Shane becomes a tarot card believer after meeting Maya Priestley, a tarot card reader. Some of her readings start to benefit Shane and his company, leading him to put blind faith in them. However, Shane’s sister, Olivia, is totally against this new belief system. Not only that, but she’s also skeptical of Shane’s new girlfriend, Natalie, whom he dreams of marrying. Is Olivia right to be suspicious? Will fortune-telling turn out to be a blessing or a curse for Shane and his company? Let’s dive in and find out together!

Rod Stewart has become the latest classic-rock superstar to sell his song catalog in what the Wall Street Journal reports is a nearly $100 million deal.
Stewart, whose hits include such 1970s rock staples as “Maggie May,” “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy,” “You Wear It Well” and “You’re in My Heart,” sold his interests in his publishing catalog and recorded music, as well as some name and likeness rights, to Irving Azoff’s Iconic Artists Group.
The WSJ, citing sources familiar with the deal, reports that Azoff’s Iconic has also raised more than $1 billion in new capital for future catalog investments led by the private markets investment firm Hps Investment Partners.
Stewart’s catalog covers 10 No. 1 albums, and six consecutive decades with studio albums that sold more than one million copies each. The catalog he sold includes work from his solo career and also stretches back to his...

Larry David on Tuesday attended the premiere of the final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, where he revealed what he had planned next and gave insight into the creative freedom HBO gave him during the series’ 12-season run.
Ahead of a screening of the first two episodes of Season 12 of the comedy, David got onstage to present the show, getting a standing ovation from the crowd.
“If I would’ve been a different person, I might have been touched by that,” David joked after the ovation.
“So, yes, yes, this is it. This is it. The final season. It’s very sad, very sad,” David awkwardly said while being playful with the American Sign Language interpreter next to him.
David noted that many people have been asking what he would do now that the show is ending, to which he jokingly said, “Hey, don’t worry about me. I got plenty to do.

It's finally happening: we're getting another season of Severance.
Who knew a cliffhanger could keep us on the edge of our seats for nearly two years? It takes a crackpot writing team and a stellar cast to elicit the kind of response that the season one finale got out of its fanbase, and boy, does Severance deliver on both fronts.
The news we've all been anxiously waiting for is here. Season two is coming, and it's sure to be a doozy.
It may be because this millennial's first introduction to Ben Stiller was his three-film stint as Greg Focker, but his directorial deftness still exceeds expectations.
Plus, with a cast teeming with industry legends, it's no surprise that Apple TV was more than happy to gift us another season. So, without further ado, here's everything we know about what's to come for our friends at Lumon Industries.
Where Did Severence Season 1 Leave Off?...

Brian De Palma's "Carrie" was the film that defined a generation. Its blend of coming-of-age themes, fantastical magic, and slasher-style bloodshed makes it a genre-bending film that time just can't seem to forget.
The 1976 horror tells the story of a sheltered girl who lives under her obsessively religious mother's tyrannical rule, a dictatorship made all the worse by the onset of Carrie's period. Her mother's frenzy combined with a cruel prank at the prom pushes the shy young girl to a mental break, complete with telekinetic powers. The Stephen King adaptation launched some incredibly notable careers, including John Travolta, who plays high school bully Billy Nolan. Sadly, not all of the cast has lived to see the end of 2023, including Piper Laurie, whose performance as Carrie's mother earned her one of three Oscar nominations in her lifetime.
Laurie passed away in October of 2023, but many of the other main cast members are alive,...

King Charles III has big shoes, err, a big crown, to fill the British royal family after Queen Elizabeth II. According to a royal author, he’s simply “never” had the ability to “connect” with the public like his late mother.
King Charles can’t ‘connect’ with people like the queen did
Sept. 8, 2023, marked the one-year anniversary of the queen’s death but also King Charles’s first year on the throne. Discussing where the king stands today, royal author Clive Irving explained the 74-year-old isn’t in an ideal situation.
Namely, he’s “struggling to connect” with people, a problem his mother didn’t have. “When Charles appears, he doesn’t connect,” Irving told the US Express (via Express). “I felt that very strongly at the time of the coronation that he looked almost morose throughout the whole ceremony.”
King Charles officially became king on May 6, 2023. The Westminster Abbey ceremony in London,...

Freevee’s Bosch: Legacy Season 2 premiered October 20, paying tribute to Annie Wersching and Lance Reddick, two alums of the original Bosch series, who died earlier this year. The tribute came in the way of a simple title card that states, “In Loving Memory of Our Friends Annie Wersching and Lance Reddick.” Wersching, known for her portrayal of Officer Julia Brasher on Bosch, appeared as a series regular in Season 1 and later as a recurring guest star. She passed away on January 29 of this year. Reddick, who portrayed Chief of Police Irvin Irving throughout all seven seasons of Bosch, also passed away on March 17. Check the tribute below. It’s worth noting that Reddick made a return as Irving in Bosch: Legacy Season 2, marking his debut in the Freevee offshoot. “I can tell you one of the great gifts we had was bringing him back for one more scene,” exec producer...

“Based on a true story” has become one of the most overused (and misleading) labels of our time. Still, its application to “Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose” is duly warranted — and no less ridiculous for being so. The “true events” drawn on here remain dumbfounding: In the 1930s, a family living in a farmhouse on the Isle of Man claimed they played frequent host to an octogenarian mongoose from New Delhi whose mysterious powers were hardly limited to human speech. This tale attracted considerable interest from tabloids, tourists and investigators over several years’ course. Belief persisted despite all kinds of doubt-casting evidence, not least the daughter’s admitted talent for ventriloquism.
It’s the kind of wonderfully bizarre anecdote one imagines can hardly miss in screen depiction. Yet somehow it does just that in U.S. writer-director Adam Sigal’s U.K.-produced third feature, itself the sort of...

The afternoon of May 21, 2020, Yolanda Irving was relaxing in her bedroom in East Raleigh, North Carolina. The city was in the throes of the Covid-19 pandemic, so her three kids milled around the apartment. Irving’s teenage daughter, Cydneea, was in her room across the hall, and her 20-year-old son, Juwan, was in his wheelchair playing video games. Outside, Irving’s youngest, Jalen, then 12, sat on the stoop with three teenage neighbors.

How do the stars of The Neighborhood feel about hitting 100 episodes?
“Well, we came in together in free agency and said, ‘Let’s get 200,'” Max Greenfield tells TVLine. “We’d already done the hundred thing. We were both free agents, like Kyrie [Irving] and [Kevin] Durant,” who teamed up on the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets before being traded to different teams this year, “but this is going to end in a better way” — especially if Cedric the Entertainer has any say in the matter.

Curated by the IndieWire Crafts team, Craft Considerations is a platform for filmmakers to talk about recent work we believe is worthy of awards consideration. In partnership with Apple TV+, for this edition we look at how production design, score, and direction came together to build the chillingly mysterious corporate world of “Severance.”
The ingenious premise of “Severance” — in which office workers agree to a procedure in which work experiences and memories are “severed” from those outside work, allowing personal and professional lives to remain completely separate — has proven irresistible to audiences tantalized by the issues and possibilities. The premise was equally irresistible, and challenging, for artisans who had to figure out how to bring Lumon Industries and its surroundings to life.
The show’s unique tone, and a genre that sits somewhere between sci-fi, satire, drama, and psychological horror, created intriguing opportunities and obstacles for the filmmakers tasked with getting the balance exactly right.

The Martian, which remained in the top three at the box office over the weekend in its sixth week at theaters, is a bonafide hit for legendary director Ridley Scott and will almost certainly earn multiple nominations from the Academy.
Scott is no stranger to nominations, having earned three best directing nods in his career, but the award itself still eludes the English director. 2000’s Gladiator may have earned a best actor Oscar for Russell Crowe and best picture, but Scott lost best director to Steven Soderbergh for Traffic. The very next year saw the same outcome for Scott as his directing nomination for Black Hawk Down lost out to Crowe-starring A Beautiful Mind‘s director, Ron Howard.
This year is shaping up to be different for Scott, however, as The Martian continues to rack up at the box office and resound with critics. A...
