Special Ops: Lioness, which hails from popular writer/director Taylor Sheridan, is likely headed back to Paramount+ for another explosive season. The star-studded action series dominated streaming for months at a time, but it's taken just as much time for fans to get a positive update on Season 3.

Per Deadline, Paramount+ is preparing to renew Special Ops: Lioness for a long-awaited Season 3. Zoe Saldaña has been signed on for three seasons, but the report claims that the hold-up was Nicole Kidman, who had to complete a new deal with the streamer after appearing in the first two installments. Now, Paramount is reportedly getting ready to shoot Lioness in its new 450,000-square-foot production facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The star-studded series will be joined by another Sheridan production in Texas, a Yellowstone spin-off starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Patrick J. Adams.

The second season of Lioness premiered on Paramount+ on October 27, 2024. The show follows Saldaña as Joe,...

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Cane’s Fury and Family Drama in Genoa City

Starting on Monday, July 7th, Cane is lurking and spying and sees Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) holding Damian Kane’s (Jermaine Rivers) hand. She’s being very sweet and says she likes how much he cares about his mom, Amy Lewis (Valarie Pettiford). We’ve got Lily ready to jump in with Damian. And seeing Kane again makes it clear to her who she can trust and who she cannot trust. And Kane is very angry at seeing them together looking so cozy.

Now that Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) told the family all the sketchy things Cane’s got going back in Genoa City, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) is insistent that she needs to get out,...

Die, My Love, the Lynne Ramsay-directed Jennifer Lawrence-Robert Pattinson drama that Mubi snapped up for $24 million out of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, is getting a domestic release of November 7, 2025. We hear it’s a wide release, not limited.

The movie follows Lawrence as a mother in rural American, battling with psychosis as it takes a toll on her husband played by Pattinson. Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte and Lakeith Stanfield also star.

Die, My Love was produced by Andrea Calderwood, Justine Ciarrocchi, Lawrence, Thad Luckinbill, Trent Luckinbill, Martin Scorsese and Molly Smith. Production companies include Excellent Cadaver, Black Label Media and Sikelia Productions, with Black Label also financing.

Said Ramsay, “At the heart of this story is the complexity of love and how it can change and transform over time. I aimed to keep it grounded, human, spontaneous and funny at times, capturing the moments that...

Mubi will release its grand Cannes acquisition Die, My Love in North America in the awards season corridor on November 7 as it prepares an Oscar push with star Jennifer Lawrence front and centre.

The company was in full acquisitions mode on the Croisette, where Lynne Ramsay’s film debuted in Competition, andpicked upNorth American rights and a raft of territories in a splashy deal said to be in the $24m range.

When Screen reported the deal from Cannes it was understood Mubi planned an exclusive 45-day theatrical run prior to debuting on the platform.

International release dates are being worked out.

Die My Love, the latest feature from Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, was one of the hottest titles heading into this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and the film’s stock has only grown following a headline-grabbing $24 million acquisition by Mubi.

The film has been divisive on the ground in Cannes and is still a hot talking point up and down the Croisette. But did anyone who watched the film in the Lumiere on Friday actually understand it? Ramsay, a Cannes Film Festival vet, is skeptical.

“This whole postpartum thing is just bullshit,” Ramsay said Monday afternoon of the discourse surrounding her movie during a fireside chat with veteran film journalist and critic Elvis Mitchell here in Cannes. “It’s not about that. It’s about a relationship breaking down,...

Mubi has acquired the rights to Lynne Ramsay’s “Die My Love” in the U.S. and multiple other territories in a deal totaling $24 million. The movie, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, world premiered at Cannes on Saturday evening to a six-minute standing ovation.

The acquisition marks the first major sale of this year’s Cannes. The territories include North America, Latin America, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand.

“Die My Love” is based on author Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel of the same name, which centers on a new mother who enters psychosis after developing postpartum depression. Ramsay’s adaptation of “Die, My Love” is set in rural America and revolves around Lawrence’s character, a woman who has just had a baby and is engulfed by love and madness, to which her husband (Pattinson) appears oblivious. It marks Ramsay...

The deal is for $24 million, with full domestic theatrical commitment on 1,500 screens for 45 days, we hear. The territories were: North America, Latin America, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand.

Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson took to the Cannes red carpet this evening for the world premiere of new film Die My Love, directed by Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here).

The Competition movie is based on the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz and also stars Lakeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte.

Set in rural America, the film is a portrait of a married woman’s mental disintegration as post-natal depression consumes and obliterates her. Pattinson plays her husband, and Stanfield her lover.

In Deadline’s review, Damon Wise was impressed by Ramsay’s “mesmerizing film,” describing it as a “brutal but beautiful story.” As for many critics, Lawrence proved the star of the show. “America knows very well how good Jennifer Lawrence can be,” Wise wrote, “and this could well mean a fifth Oscar nomination if it lands in savvy hands.” But Ramsay also comes in for particular...

Die, My Love, one of the most hotly anticipated sales titles in competition at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, had its world premiere at the Grand Théâtre Lumière on Saturday night, and garnered a six-minute standing ovation.

The film, an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel of the same name — with the action relocated from France to Montana — was co-written and directed by art-house darling Lynne Ramsay and was co-produced by and stars Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence in her most ambitious performance in years.

In the genre-blending two-hour film, Lawrence plays a new mother who develops postpartum depression and begins going in and out of psychosis. Robert Pattinson plays her husband; Oscar winner Sissy Spacek and Oscar nominee Nick Nolte play his parents; and Oscar nominee Lakeith Stanfield also stars.

In 2015, Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill and Thad Luckinbill — founders of the film finance and production company Black Label Media — experienced the “deafening” roar of their first Cannes ovation as producers on “Sicario.” In the decade since, the company has evolved from a fledgling outfit to a major player, arriving on the Croisette with Lynne Ramsay’s hotly anticipated “Die, My Love,” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson.

“We’ve just watched the business change so much, yet at the same time, it feels almost full circle,” Smith said. “Indie film and the way we were putting movies together in the beginning feels like it’s back in full force.”

Added Trent Luckinbill: “We started out being a filmmaker-driven company, and we got lucky in the beginning to work with great names like Denis Villeneuve and Jean-Marc Vallée. We haven’t changed that mission. We’ve stuck to our guns on...

Lawrence plays a passionate woman in a rural outpost who struggles with psychosis. The cast includes Lakeith Stanfield, Sissey Spacek, and Nick Nolte.

Lynne Ramsay’s film (You Were Never Really Here), based on the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz, also stars Lakeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte. Lbi’s Rick Yorn is handling domestic sales.

Set in rural America, Die, My Love is described as the portrait of a woman engulfed by love and madness. Pattinson plays her husband, and Stanfield her lover.

Ramsay directed from her script written with Enda Walsh and Alice Burch. Producers include Justine Ciarrocchi and Lawrence on behalf of Excellent Cadaver, as well as Martin Scorsese, Andrea Calderwood, and Black Label Media’s Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill and Thad Luckinbill. The latter served as financier.

Former Lionsgate and Summit exec Wachsberger launched production and sales banner 193 earlier this year as a Jv with Legendary Entertainment.

Exclusive: Black Label Media has taken rights to Patrick Hoffman’s debut crime novel The White Van to develop as a feature for filmmaker Grant Singer.

Singer and author Hoffman will team to adapt the novel together.

The project reunites Singer with Black Label Media on the heels of Reptile, his chart-topping Netflix feature debut starring Benicio Del Toro, which the company also produced. That movie premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.

The White Van is a kinetic heist thriller following a troubled young woman who is lured into a criminal scheme that leaves her wanted for bank robbery and hunted by a corrupt cop who doesn’t want justice – but wants the money for himself. Evoking crime novelists like Dennis Lehane and gritty seventies films like Dog Day Afternoon, the line between good and evil blurs as criminals, cops, and hustlers collide in the unforgiving underbelly of San Francisco.

Despite being a city that’s been home to the likes of Helena Cassadine, Cyrus Renault, and Sidwell, Drew Quartermaine has been the most hated person in Port Charles. As Drew’s long list of enemies grows, could General Hospital be gearing up for a classic whodunnit?

Drew (Cameron Mathison) has been hated across Port Charles for months, ever since the news got out that he had an affair with his nephew’s wife, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Since then, he’s not only become obsessed with her, showing up when he wasn’t wanted and later buying a house with the assumption she would be moving in with her kids, but he’s also wrecked havoc on former some friends.

Young and the Restless fans are talking about who is really behind Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case)’s kidnapping because it may not be who you assume it is. It may be a really big twist. There are some big red flags waving that somebody you wouldn’t expect is tormenting Red and Sharon, and this could be a really bizarre pivot in the storyline.

So, despite the horror movie feel to where the kidnapper has stuck them, you know, really Phyllis and Sharon haven’t suffered that much while in captivity. Now, that could be because the villain is trying to build up their fear and anxiety before they do something really bad to the ladies, or this lack of actual torment could be a sign that the kidnapper has no ill intent, which sounds bizarre, right? I mean, why would you kidnap somebody? And...

Before Taylor Sheridan dominated the streaming landscape with his riveting television series such as Yellowstone, Landman, and various other projects, the writer would be best known for several of his enthralling screenplays taken on by talented filmmakers. Perhaps the best-known film from Sheridan's body of written work is Sicario, which Denis Villeneuve directed. Before the acclaimed filmmaker helmed the adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel Dune, it was 2015's Sicario that would further establish Villeneuve as a powerhouse director with an eye for powerful storytelling. Now, the film will have a new streaming home on Netflix this March.

Sicario will be hitting the streaming platform on March 1st, allowing Netflix subscribers to check out one of the earlier mainstream films in Villeneuve's career. Starring Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, and Daniel Kaluuya, Sicario explores the complex inner workings of the war on drugs and the morally ambiguous...

The Young and the Restless (Y&r) spoilers indicate that fans are reeling after the Tuesday, February 25 episode, which centered around Phyllis Summers’ (Michelle Stafford) and Sharon Newman’s (Sharon Case) abduction.

The show revealed that the two have gone missing together, and someone is holding them captive in an old (and seemingly abandoned) psychiatric facility.

The place was uber creepy, with an odd (and annoying) alarm that went off multiple times during scenes. A bluesy song also played at one point, which frustrated Phyllis, but Sharon believed it to be a clue.

When the music stopped, Sharon asked for the rules of the game, and this was when a disguised voice came over the intercom.

They noted that the two women would have to work together, and the prize at the end was staying alive. It was also revealed that the captor has a camera in the room and is...

Thad Luckinbill, formerly of The Young and the Restless, recently completed the second season of the Paramount+ drama Lioness, his first as a series regular. The Tyler Sheridan drama is a spy thriller about the CIA’s war on terror, focusing on an elite unit of female undercover operatives that Zoe Saldana’s character heads. Luckinbill plays Kyle McManus, a CIA operative who’s often out in the field. Needless to say, the show’s intense action means the actors need to be in tip-top shape. Thankfully, Luckinbill has no problem fulfilling this element of the series.

The Strange is set in New Galveston, Mars in the year 1931.

Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from Lioness season 2, episodes 1 and 2.

While Taylor Sheridan's contribution to Lioness cannot be understated, as he's the creator, executive producer, showrunner, writer, and director of the series, Sheridan's role somehow gets even greater in season 2. The spy thriller TV show is one of many that Sheridan has created for Paramount in the past eight years, following in the footsteps of Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, and more. Like most of his series, Lioness has been a massive success for the filmmaker, which might be why Sheridan fully immersed himself in season 2's production.

The Paramount+ TV show's title changed from Special Ops: Lioness in season 1 to just Lioness in season 2.

The cast of Lioness includes Zoe Saldaa as Joe, Laysla De Oliveira as Cruz, Dave Annable as Neal, Nicole Kidman as Kaitlyn, Morgan Freeman as Mullins, Genesis Rodriguez as Josephina Carrillo, and many more.

Paramount+'s Special Ops: Lioness contains a talented and distinguished cast, ranging from Academy Award winners to an actress who has starred in four of the highest-grossing movies of all time. The spy thriller TV show comes from the mind of Taylor Sheridan, who is most known for creating Yellowstone and all its spinoffs. However, Sheridan branched out from the neo-Western drama when Special Ops: Lioness debuted in July 2023, and it was a hit for Paramount+ (despite receiving mixed reviews from critics). As a result, the platform renewed it for a second season, which premieres in October 2024.

Paramount+ changed the show's title from Special Ops: Lioness to just Lioness in season 2.

While Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) tried to cover up Heather’s death after an explosive confrontation, viewers can’t help but think she isn’t behind the murder.

After all, Sharon did blackout during the entire thing, which likely means there’s an unknown killer on the loose. Could the show completely swerve fans when it comes to the murderer?

Paramount+’s Lioness may have shed its “Special Ops”: prefix for Season 2, but it made significant gains everywhere else.

Simply said, the Zoe Saldaña-led spy thriller’s sophomore run is fantastic, and stands as one of the year’s best TV shows. The only thing keeping it from an “A+” grade is that at times it gets so into the weeds of intelligence gathering and hair-trigger geopolitical issues, it can be a bit hard to follow. But if that is your jam (as it is mine), a rip-roaring thrill ride awaits.

Is Nicole Kidman the hardest working person in Hollywood at the moment?

In the last year or so, Nicole Kidman has starred in “A Family Affair” and “Babygirl.” On the TV side, she starred in “Expats” and “The Perfect Couple” and returns to Taylor Sheridan’s “Lioness” for its second season, launching on Paramount+ on Oct. 27.

At the same time, she’ll be seen in Season 2 of the Hulu series “Nine Perfect Strangers,” the animated movie “Spellbound and the thriller “Holland, Michigan.” She also plays the title role in “Scarpetta,” Amazon’s upcoming series adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s mystery books, opposite Jamie Lee Curtis and Ariana DeBose. She’s hoping to get a third season of “Big Little Lies” off the ground as well as a sequel to “Practical Magic.”

Even so, Kidman says she does actually find time to sleep. “I slept nine hours last night,” she told...

The first season of Lioness had serious star power but fizzled out quickly. While Zoe Saldaña commands the screen, big names like Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman are heavily touted. However, the two Academy Award-winning actors barely had enough screen time compared to an alum from the game show Wipeout.

That said, I love Jillian Wagner, who is utterly convincing as a kick-ass Black Ops soldier, so that’s not the issue. This season is different. Saldaña simply electrifies in her role as a CIA officer in charge. However, now she has a cast with enough screen time to match her intensity.

Sparks fly alongside Kidman, Freeman, and The Penguin’s Michael Kelly. Series creator Taylor Sheridan crafts dialogue that cuts like verbal daggers across an expensive government conference room table. The stakes are higher, the tension is palpable, and Lioness is even better the second time around.

Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers hint that fans continue to reel over the Thursday, September 26 episode. Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) had contemplated poisoning Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) and snuck into his condo to add a dire substance to his whiskey.

Of course, despite her mental health spiral, Sharon decided against the act of revenge and went to leave the apartment.

Just as she opened the door, Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) was staring right back at her, entering her condo, and this triggered a confrontation, which got ugly fast. So much so, that Ms. Stevens ended up dying and being thrown into a river. Does This All Mean That Heath And Vail Bloom Have Exited The Y&r?

Y&r Spoilers: Many Fans Believe This Could Be A Dream/Hallucination

As of this writing, neither Bloom nor the Y&r have commented on the status of the actress on the soap.

The Young and the Restless spoilers document that Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) seemingly kills Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) and dumps her body into a river.

But a series of delusional nightmares, evoked through Sharon’s unstable mental state, creates a natural question.

The fans are collectively wondering. Did Sharon kill Heather, or are they watching another nightmare?

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Heather Stevens Is Dead

If Sharon killed Heather, then she would be eventually caught. Alternatively, Sharon could guilt herself into confessing.

The challenge with this type of plot is that Sharon could not be imprisoned for life. Case is a main character. So, this outcome is only possible if she’s knowingly working her final storyline as a regular cast member.

However, if Sharon killed Heather, she could receive a light sentence because of her mental health issue. That would likely still require many months, if not at least a year,...
