Turkish megastar Can Yaman is set to attend the upcoming Mipcom TV market in Cannes to promote English-language drama “El Turco,” in which he plays a legendary historical figure that bridges Turkey with the Western world.

The groundbreaking six-episode “El Turco” series — featuring a starry cast of actors from nine different countries and combining history, action-adventure and romance — will be unveiled in Cannes by Turkish distributor Madd Entertainment, which is planning for the show to get a global release in February 2025.

In “El Turco,” which is produced by Turkey’s Ay Yapim, Yaman plays 17th Ottoman soldier Hasan Balaban, who was wounded during the Turkish army’s campaign to conquer Vienna in 1683 and ended up some 200 kilometers away in the Italian Alpine village of Moena. Nicknamed “El Turco” by the villagers, he led the locals to a clamorous revolt against unfair taxes that made him a local hero.

Quick Links It Is Bitter Sweet That All American Will Enter Its Final Season, But It Is the Right Move The Future of All American Remains Bright

All American has given fans six seasons of pristine coming-of-age drama, which established itself among the best. Basing itself (loosely) off NFL player Spencer Paysinger's own struggles for coming up through South Central LA to attend Beverly Hills High on a football scholarship, The CW original tackled modern social issues like racial inequality, mental health, and LGBTQ+ representation, weaved compelling character struggles and relationships throughout, and acted as a consistent inspiration of finding your dreams against any challenges. All American is the perfect teen drama.

This has led to the fandom feeling a bit bummed that the series is set to conclude with its seventh and final season, set for an undetermined 2025 release date. However, the more shocking news came recently when...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for All American: Homecoming season 3, episode 12!All American: Homecoming star Netta Walker, who portrays Keisha, has teased a "bittersweet" ending for season 3, with the next episode set to conclude the spinoff series. All American: Homecoming season 3 will be the final entry in the show, which was cancelled in June 2024, one month before the final episodes began airing. With one episode left, the futures of characters like Keisha, Simone (Geffri Maya), Landon (Martin Bobb-Semple) and Cam (Mitchell Edwards) remain unclear, including how definitive the finale will be.

Speaking with Deadline, Walker explained how the final episode of All American: Homecoming season 3 will be "bittersweet," but believes audiences will enjoy and understand why the show wraps up the way it does. The actor specifically teases where Simone ends up in the finale, while also expressing thankfulness for having been able to contribute to the series as Keisha for so long.

Bryan Ferry has shared his first original song in nearly a decade with “Star,” a collaboration with singer Amelia Barratt and Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

The track, which features on the Roxy Music singer’s upcoming five-disc Retrospective: Selected Recordings, began as a demo the Nin duo sent to Ferry, who in turn teamed with Barratt to turn the sketch into “Star,” with Barrett handling lead vocals on the track:

“A couple of years ago I helped [Barratt] record an audiobook here in my studio. I was very impressed by her writing,...

Bryan Ferry has announced Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023, a wide-spanning box set that celebrates 50 years of the artist’s career. To accompany the announcement, the Roxy Music member also unveiled a cover of Bob Dylan’s “She Belongs to Me,” which previews a series of upcoming digital EPs. Listen to the new cut below.

The collection will be available digitally and in a variety of physical formats, including a 5xCD edition that comes complete with a 100-page hardback book of liner notes and photography. The first disc serves as a greatest hits compilation, with the second disc exploring the development of his compositional skills...

When Nicole Holofcener was coming up in the ’90s, she was celebrated as that rare thing: a female writer-director. Today, she’s no longer a rarity, and she’s still delivering sharp, funny observational comedies about flawed middle-class New York women. But somehow, the breadth and potential of her talent remains elusive.

Hollywood gives her scripts to write and rewrite and polish (for the big bucks). She wrote, with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, “The Last Duel” for Ridley Scott, crafting the Jodie Comer character, and the Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh roles in Marvel’s “Black Widow.” She made more on that three-week assignment than three of her movies combined, she said at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, which tributed her this year, playing three of her films for an audience unfamiliar with her work. She’s currently writing for Gillian Anderson and Greta Lee in Disney’s latest iteration of “Tron.

Both Friends and The Big Bang Theory have cemented their place in TV history among some of the most beloved sitcoms of all time. Starring ensemble casts, each show brought laughter, heart, and many memorable moments, following the lives of a close-knit group of friends navigating the ups and downs of everyday life.

Despite their unique storylines and character arcs, there remained a striking resemblance in their finales, as Kunal Nayyar’s Raj and Matt LeBlanc’s Joey found themselves alone at the end of their respective show, something fans still wish had been avoided.

Bittersweet Endings for Raj in The Big Bang Theory and Joey in Friends

Both The Big Bang Theory and Friends follow a group of friends as they navigate their personal and professional lives. However, despite their different tones and character arcs, a particular detail about their ending has remained a topic of discussion.

My Lady Jane is a historical fiction television series that premiered on Amazon Prime Video. The show is based on the novel "Lady Jane Grey" by Eva Ibbotson and follows the story of Jane Grey, who becomes the queen of England at the age of 16. The series features a mix of romance, drama, and political intrigue, set in the 16th century. Here are the songs featured in each episode of My Lady Jane: Episode 1 Songs:

Warning: Spoilers for My Lady Jane

Prime Video's My Lady Jane retells history with a new look at Tudor-style Englands politics and music. The series official soundtrack features only nine covers of famous songs. However, the show makes specific use of many other songs, most of them being notably recent. This decision to use modern music in a historical tale reflects the shows subversion of the typical storytelling style for shows about this subject. Other...

The following contains major spoilers for My Hero Academia Chapter 424, "Epilogue," by Horikoshi Kohei, Caleb Cook and John Hunt.

Although My Hero Academias final war may be over, the superhero shnen series still has a lot of ground to cover and loose ends to tie up before it can reach a satisfactory conclusion. Following All For Ones definitive defeat in the previous installment, Chapter 424 delves into the aftermath of the war, including its effects on the brave heroes who participated and the foreign countries that were affected by its ripple effects. The Demon Lord may be gone for good, but theres still a lot of work to be done to repair the nationwide damage his brief reign of terror caused.

Chapter 424 is aptly titled Epilogue. Focusing largely on the rebuilding effort, "Epilogue" reminds fans that although the war itself may be over, the Pro-Heroes are still paving the path to true peace.

Following his last appearance in the disappointing 2022 film Love and Thunder, Chris Hemsworth is expected to reprise his role one last time in Thor 5 other than the upcoming Avengers movies.

Today, Gunna announced that his upcoming One of Wun album will be released on May 10th. One of Wun is the Atlanta artist’s fifth studio album. The album artwork showcases a depiction of the fashion-forward artist draped in a sheer scarf with a white and blue floral print. Calvin Clausell Jr. helmed the artwork design, and collaborated with creative director Spike Jordan of The Genius Club as well as art director Tal Midyan. Gunna also shared a new single, “Whatsapp (Wassam)” ahead of the album’s release.

Last week,...

Gunna is nearly ready to unleash his forthcoming studio album One of Wun — but he won’t say when it’s coming. The rapper shared the title of the record on Monday and unveiled its accompanying cover art, created by the visual artist Calvin Clausell Jr. In the image, Gunna’s face is concealed beneath a mess of blue and white flower petals.

While the project doesn’t yet have an official release date, it will likely arrive just in time for Gunna to kick off The Bittersweet Tour with Flo Milli in May.

The writing was not on the Coterie wall for Good Trouble showrunner Joanna Johnson with regards to the Freeform drama’s cancellation in early December 2023.

“After the writers’ strike ended, we were making schedules to get up and running, and I got a call from the network… saying, ‘Just a head’s up, a lot of things are changing in the business right now, and so, we kind of don’t know if we’re, for sure, going to get to pick the show up,'” Johnson tells TVLine. “We were all very surprised because we had left Season 5 99.9% sure...

The NCIS showrunners for a hot second thought about channeling Avengers: Endgame and having everybody show up for the funeral of Dr. Donald Mallard in this week’s Ducky/David McCallum tribute episode.

But when that proved wildly impractical and logistically improbable, they zeroed in on a singular cameo that was rich with history but also lightened up the very heavy hour.

In the series finale of Prime Video’s Expats, Margaret, Hilary and Mercy finally came to terms with the weight of their individual traumas, and the complicated and sometimes brutal roles they played in each others’ lives.

When the three women met face to face, Margaret announced that her family was moving back to the States in order to help her other two children move on. And while Hilary reflected on healing from her father’s death and his abuse against her mother throughout her childhood, Mercy timidly faced motherhood, as she continued to struggle with her own grief stemming...

Gunna is heading out on a North American tour dubbed The Bittersweet Tour. The trek features special guest Flo Milli opening each night, with the exception of Gunna’s festival appearance at Roots Picnic in Philadelphia on June 2.

In his first single since his chart-topping fourth studio album A Gift & a Curse, Gunna lays his latest hopes and fears bare. “Bittersweet” is pensive and stripped back, with the Atlanta Mc laying stream-of-consciousness raps down over sentimental guitar and subtle percussion from producers Dystinkt Beats and 1Srael, the latter of the the popular Philadelphia beat-smiths Working on Dying.

Gunna runs through concerns about women, former friends, and drug use throughout the song, but also notes some recent highlights, like the massive success of his last album, released after a year-long stint in jail,...

Welcome to our weekly rundown of the best new music — featuring big singles, key tracks from our favorite albums, and more. The takeaway from this week’s new releases can be summed up by Lainey Wilson’s new one “Country’s Cool Again,” which Queen Bey reaffirmed with her rodeo-ready new single. Beyond the country music takeover, Dua Lipa sets the bar high for future lovers, Karol G delivers a dance-ready love anthem, and Gunna gets introspective. Plus, new tracks from Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey, Schoolboy Q, and Kim Petras.

Composer Laura Karpman received her first Oscar nomination on Tuesday for Amazon MGM Studios’ American Fiction in Music (Original Score).

In a call with Deadline on Tuesday morning, Karpman is giddy to claim that she might have possessed a little foresight that led to this Oscar reigning moment as the film picked up a total of four other Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Jeffrey Wright for Actor in a Leading Role, Sterling K. Brown for Actor in a Supporting Role and Cord Jefferson for Best Adapted Screenplay.

“When I first saw [a cut of] American Fiction, I told Cord, Ben LeClair [producer] and Hilda [Rasula], the editor, that this was going to get an Oscar, that this was an awards film,” Karpman said. “So, I sent them a text that said, ‘I told you.’”

It’s been going on for a while, and it’s been even worse post-pandemic, but the Oscar halo effect for Best Picture nominees has diminished greatly.

Even though most of this year’s Best Picture contenders are available in the home, there are three in an exclusive theatrical release which look to make gains by Oscar night, March 10: Amazon MGM’s American Fiction, Searchlight’s Poor Things and A24’s Zone of Interest. For some studios, playing off the heat of Oscar nominations is still a business.

Poor Things is currently playing in 1,400 theaters, the widest it has been following its Dec. 8 release, which notched the third best first weekend theater average ($73K) of 2023. The Emma Stone-starring and produced bawdy female erotic romp busts wide this weekend at 2,200 theaters. This Friday,...

Dolly Parton is celebrating her birthday Friday, January 19th, with a new deluxe edition of her November album Rockstar that includes fresh tracks.

“It’s my Birthday so I’m going to give you a present!” our November cover star wrote on Twitter. “I’m releasing four never released songs for my birthday, to go with the Rockstar album, and a few others that you may have heard before that were not on the album. I hope you enjoy them, and I hope you all have a happy birthday for me! Lol.”

Rockstar primarily comprised Parton’s renditions of rock classics like “Magic Man,” “Purple Rain,” “Stairway to Heaven,” and many more, plus a who’s-who of guest features. The deluxe edition of Rockstar continues the fun with originals “Mama Never Said” and a live version of “Rockin’ It,” plus the Sylvester Stallone-featuring “Stay Out of My Bedroom,” lifted...

Dolly Parton isn’t done rocking yet. After sharing her new album Rockstar last week, our November cover star has returned with two new bonus tracks: Her rendition of the Eddie Money’s “Two Tickets to Paradise,” plus a new version of her classic “Jolene” featuring Måneskin.

The Måneskin-assisted version of “Jolene” is available exclusively with the digital download version of Rockstar on Parton’s website, though the country icon did share a preview of the duet on Instagram. It sounds like the new recording stays fairly faithful to the original, with Måneskin’s Damiano David taking on co-lead vocals with Parton.

“Jolene” appears on the deluxe edition of Rockstar, which also features guest features from Sting, Steve Perry, Joan Jett, Mick Fleetwood, Pat Benatar, Brandi Carlile, and many, many more. See a preview clip of Måneskin’s take on “Jolene” below.

Rockstar, the star-studded rock’n’roll album by our November cover star, Dolly Parton, has arrived. Stream it below.

Inspired by her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, Rockstar is the 49th full-length release from Parton, and features a variety of new originals and classic rock covers, as well as a heap of guest appearances by artists like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Ringo Starr, Miley Cyrus, Chris Stapleton, Debbie Harry, Nikki Sixx, and many more.

Speaking with Paramore’s Hayley Williams for Consequence’s most recent cover story, Parton explained that when she found out she was voted into the Rock Hall, she “didn’t feel like [she’d] earned it.” To make up for that, she got into the studio and cut a proper rock album, without cutting any corners. “That was important to me: not to half-ass do a record that’s a country girl singing some rock,...

Gareth Edwards has many thoughts on the ending of “The Creator,” but he’s even more interested in what audiences think about how the sci-fi film — which depicts a war between mankind and AI — concludes.

In any war, the director notes, sacrifices are made. And in “The Creator’s” case, the ending is “bittersweet,” Edwards noted.

TheWrap asked him to elaborate on the final scenes and their implications (find out if there’s a post-credit here). Obviously, major spoilers from “The Creator” lie ahead, so you’ve been warned.

Eminent filmmaker Ananth Narayan Mahadevan is in post-production on “Phule,” about the pioneers of women’s education in India.

Jyotirao Govindrao Phule and his wife Savitribai were social reformers known for their efforts against India’s endemic caste system. Phule’s first school for girls was founded in Pune, western India, in 1848. In 1873, Jyotirao Phule and his followers began the Satyashodhak Samaj (Truth-seekers’ Society) to campaign for increased rights for the underprivileged. In 1888, the honorific Mahatma (great soul), a term later used to describe Gandhi, was accorded to Phule.

“The two of them are lethal, the husband and wife, because at a time when the girl child was being refused education and just pushed into marriage, Jyotirao chose to actually educate his little wife – she was just 11 at that time, he was 17 when they got married, because it was the time of child marriage,” Mahadevan told Variety.

Zoe Saldana, known for playing Lt. Uhura in the rebooted Star Trek movies, revealed which of her co-stars was best at making her laugh.

The subject came up in an interview with BBC Radio 1, with critic Ali Plumb suggesting Saldana's Guardians of the Galaxy love interest Chris Pratt. "Chris is really good at improvising, so it makes it really hard for you to stay in character, for sure," she answered. "But I also remember, because of the three Star Trek movies that I've done, that being in the same room with Simon Pegg, John Cho or Anton Yelchin... sometimes Chris Pine, whenever he wanted to jump in. Zachary Quinto was hysterical. Because these are very educated individuals, and they're masters of words, and they would whip out little jokes here and there. That was really hard, to stay in character and improvise with them, but I don't improvise. I...

“Physical” on Apple TV+ was always going to end after Season 3. But even with that plan in place, star and executive producer Rose Byrne felt bringing the series to a close felt “insurmountable.”

She told TheWrap it’s because of the love she has for both the series and creator Annie Weisman’s storytelling that she feels “bittersweet” about this final outing, which began its 10-episode run Wednesday. The series finale is scheduled to premiere Sept. 27.

“It’s an incredible role and an incredible part,” Byrne said in an interview conducted ahead of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. “I’ve never read anything like this. It’s been a really creatively life-changing experience. I feel very protective of the show and Sheila.”

From the first meeting for Season 3, Byrne and Weisman were already discussing how they wanted to “close out” the story of Shelia Rubin, an ’80s housewife-turned-fitness idol. It...

Filmmaker Justin Simien was the main attraction at the July 15 red carpet premiere of his latest effort, The Haunted Mansion. But it wasn’t because he arrived in a floor-length cape, his tribute to the movie’s costume designer. It was because the hours-old SAG-AFTRA strike prevented his starry cast — Lakeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish and Jamie Lee Curtis among them — from joining. “‘Bittersweet’ is probably the best word for it,” the 40-year-old director explains two days later in his modest Los Angeles office. “I’m glad we got to show the movie [out July 28] — but with the strike and the Bob Iger comments, I feel like I crash-landed into [the event].”

In Hulu’s Tiny Beautiful Things, Kathryn Hahn plays Clare, a reimagined version of Cheryl Strayed from Strayed’s memoir of the same name. Working on the story, which examines grief and family close-up, has left Hahn “forever changed” she said on Tuesday morning, shortly after receiving an Emmy nomination for her role.

However, as SAG-AFTRA talks continue, with a possible actors’ strike on the horizon in addition to the ongoing writers’ strike, Hahn said, “Everything feels very bittersweet, doesn’t it?” She recalled her love for the writers’ room on Tiny Beautiful Things and writer-EPs Liz Tigelaar and Cheryl Strayed, adding, “You know, no matter what, we’re all 100 percent behind the writers, and I am filled with gratitude. And we’ll continue to shout their names since they are unable to for a bit.”

And as for whether there will be a Season 2 of the limited series, Hahn said,...

The Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will drop Rockstar on Nov. 17. The 30-track album will include nine original songs and 21 rock covers, including “Purple Rain,” “We Are the Champions,” “Every Breath You Take” with Sting and “Let It Be” with McCartney, Starr, Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood.

It’s probably safe to say that Dolly Parton will be the only artist this year (and possibly ever) whose new album will include features by Lizzo, Rob Halford, Paul McCartney, and Stevie Nicks.

Upon her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, Dolly Parton announced her intention to record a rock album. “If I’m gonna be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I’m gonna have to earn it,” she said at the time.

Parton has spent the last year making good on that promise by enlisting some of the biggest names in music to join her in recording a mix of rock ‘n’ roll originals and covers. The end result, aptly titled Rockstar, will arrive on November 17th via her own Butterfly Records in conjunction with Big Machine Label Group.

When Dolly calls, everyone answer. Just look at the massive 30-song tracklist for Rockstar: there’s literally a Beatles reunion! Steve Perry sings a Journey song! Lizzo plays jazz flute on “Stairway to Heaven”!

Among the notable covers, Sting accompanies Parton on The Police’s “Every Breath You Take,...

Christina Applegate says the final season fo “Dead to Me” may be her last on-camera appearance – and that she was glad to share it with dear friend and co-star Linda Cardellini.

“I’m probably not going to work on-camera again, but I’m so glad that I went out with someone who is by far the greatest actress I’ve ever worked with in my entire life, if not the greatest human I’ve ever known,” she said in an interview with Vanity Fair.

After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis while filming Season 3 of the Netflix dark comedy, Applegate continued through to the show’s conclusion, making her first public appearance since her diagnosis last November to receive her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

She spoke of her special connection to Cardellini

“Linda and I, from day one, were in love with each other and trusted each other and supported each other,...

Thirty years ago when Robin Thicke was 16, he recorded his first album with R&b star Brian McKnight. But the music wasn’t epic.

“[The label] was willing to put it out, but there wasn’t going to be a lot of promotion money behind it, so I said, ‘Let’s shelve it,’” he recalls.

While still recording his own music, he went on to develop his musicality by writing and producing for others, including Michael Jackson, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Jordan Knight, Brandy, Raven-Symoné, 98 Degrees, Marc Anthony, Mya, Color Me Badd, Guy Sebastian, Brownstone, Will Young, Kevon Edmonds, Ron Keating, Chante Moore and others.

But he needed to get back to making music for himself, so the early twentysomething decided he wouldn’t cut his hair until he heard his song on the radio.

“My hair grew down to my shoulders, and I ended up meeting Andre Harrell, who changed...

Kevin Morby hasn’t completely closed the door on This is a Photograph, the introspective seventh studio album he released last year. On it, he walked a thin line between autobiographical and fictional storytelling while exploring the way childhood memories change with age. But even those 12 songs weren’t enough for him to feel at peace with it all, so he’s going back for more on More Photographs (A Continuum), set for release on May 26.

“If This Is a Photograph is a house that you have been living inside of,...

There's no business like show business, and no group more self-flagellating than theater geeks, as Theater Camp so cheekily discovers. The Sundance Film Festival selection was quickly snapped up by Searchlight Pictures for a cool 8 million, which should serve as a testament to its entertainment value. Directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman, who collaborated on the script with star Ben Platt and his partner Noah Galvin, the film was clearly crafted by artists with a strong investment in stage performance. Theater Camp won't be for everyone, but thespians and drama geeks will find themselves right at home, and even laymen may find more than a few laughs.

Platt plays Amos, "a performer who is a full-time acting teacher" and one among many characters inexplicably dedicated their lives to the Adirond-acts summer camp for Broadway hopefuls. Rather than encourage and inspire, however, each teacher in Theater Camp seems determined to...

In my many years of seeing live music, few sights were as dispiriting as the first time I saw David Crosby up close. In the early Eighties, he played a solo show at New York’s Town Hall. Walking onstage, looking a little overweight, unkempt and shaggy in an untucked shirt and baggy pants, he plopped down on a wooden chair. His voice was a bit raspier than we’d heard on his records, and the blissed-out smiles and stage patter he was known for were Mia. At one point,...
