Nobody's telling horror stories quite like Mike Flanagan right now. His films and TV shows are equal parts heartbreaking and terrifying. His characters are often holding onto deep-seated emotional wounds, many of which are brought painfully to the surface in the face of some monstrous threat or supernatural danger. Even when he's adapting the works of literary titans like Stephen King and Shirley Jackson, Flanagan carefully re-works and re-purposes the source material, making it firmly his own.

His latest Netflix series, "The Midnight Club," once again sees Flanagan adapting someone else's work, this time that of Christopher Pike's 1994 young adult horror novel of the same name, with "Once Upon a Time" alum Leah Fong serving as the show's co-creator. Flanagan was among the young readers who took to Pike's book upon its release and he's been hoping to adapt it to the screen ever since. With its premiere...

Great news, Kissing Booth fans! Not only is a third movie in the works, but The Kissing Booth 3 has already been filmed and is getting ready to go for next year's release date. The third movie in the popular Netflix rom-com series actually finished filming last year, so it won't be affected by any pandemic shutdowns.

During Netflix's #TKBFanFest live stream on July 26, stars Joey King and Joel Courtney made the big announcement. Apparently, they secretly filmed The Kissing Booth 3 at the same time that they filmed The Kissing Booth 2, which is out now. Although the announcement was abrupt, it's not entirely unexpected - after all, the To All the Boys I've Loved Before series used the same filming strategy, filming P.S. I Still Love You simultaneously with the upcoming third and final movie, Always and Forever, Lara Jean. The only difference is that they were totally public...

If you've fallen in love with Lara Jean Covey and Peter Kavinsky in To All the Boys I've Loved Before, you're not alone. The two stars of Jenny Han's book (and Netflix film) fell in love in the first story of the series, and their story continues in the second book, P.S. I Still Love You, which is on Netflix now. But if you can't wait to find out how the trilogy ends, we've got all the spoilers for book three, Always and Forever Lara Jean, right here. Keep in mind that the Netflix version of the story might deviate from this, but at least you'll have an idea of how Lara Jean and Peter end up.

Always and Forever...

We know it's been a hot second since To All the Boys I've Loved Before first dropped on Netflix, so it's understandable if you forgot that John Ambrose McClaren in the first movie was a completely different actor from the one in the sequel. In To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, the role was played by Jordan Fisher instead of Jordan Burtchett, who was in the first film. Were the filmmakers hoping we'd just forgotten that John Ambrose showed up at Lara Jean's (Lana Condor) door with her long-lost love letter at the end of the first movie? And that we wouldn't notice that these Jordans are two very different people?

The Tatbilb filmmakers never specifically said why they chose to recast the role, and Burtchett hasn't said much on the topic either. He shared his gratitude for his fans in a lengthy Instagram post after the recasting news last year,...

Stars: Lana Condor, Noah Centineo, Emilija Baranac, Jordon Fisher | Written by Sofia Alvarez, J. Mills Goodloe | Directed by Michael Fimognari

In 2018 Netflix came out with an original movie based on a young-adult novel by Jenny Han called To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. It was a charming, whimsical teen rom-com that was a genuinely good film. It did very well, too, and so they’ve released a sequel, based on the sequel book by Han. Directed by Michael Fimognari (who directed the first film too) and with screenplay penned by Sofia Alvarez and J. Mills Goodloe, P.S. I Still Love You continues the story of Lara Jean, her life, her love and everything in-between.

We revisit Lara Jean, played with a sparky energy by the talented Lana Condor, who is in the early stages of a relationship with Peter (Noah Centineo) and still learning what it means to be in her first relationship.

Viacom CEO Bob Bakish, speaking at Ubs’s media and communication conference on Monday, said that a sequel to Netflix’s teen-love hit “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” is in the works.

The project will be the first film as part of a multipicture deal that Viacom’s Paramount and Netflix signed in November, Bakish said via a livestream from the conference.

“We’re doing a sequel to ‘To All the Boys’ and we’re in conversations with them about other titles,” Bakish said.

The first film was produced by Awesomeness TV, which was acquired by Viacom in July. Bakish said that according to Netflix the film “is one of the most-viewed films of all time on the platform” — making a sequel an almost foregone conclusion.

Netflix did not return TheWrap’s request for comment.

The beginning of the end. "Where You Left Your Heart" is the final premiere for The Originals. In the seven years since the Mikaelsons were forced to end their vow of "Always and Forever" in order to save Klaus and Hayley's daughter, a lot has changed. Hayley, Josh, Freya and Vincent work to keep the peace in New Orleans, Hope is a rebellious teenager and the Mikaelson siblings are spread throughout the world. Let's see what they've been up to.

The death of "Always and Forever" singer Keith Wilder came as a shock to his family ... because he looked great and was full of energy in the days leading up to it. Keith's family tells TMZ ... he was dancing, laughing and in great spirits from Thursday through Saturday last week while his niece was in town for her birthday. We're told they hit up a concert Friday night and went out for a late dinner...

Keith Wilder, the lead singer of the '70s funk band Heatwave, has died. Wilder's had several massive hits, including "Always and Forever," "Boogie Nights" and "The Groove Line." Wilder had been suffering from serious health problems recently and died in his sleep Sunday, according to his cousin and bandmate, Billy Jones. "Always and Forever" was the group's biggest hit ... as it went platinum. "Boogie Nights" broke the top 10. Keith summed up his band simply...

The droughtlander is almost over as Book 3 of “Outlander” is coming back in September. As we pause in rematching the official trailer for the nth time, we have more to obsess over now that the cast and crew hit Comic-Con to tease Season 3.

Taking to the Ballroom 20 stage in San Diego’s Convention Center were stars Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Tobias Menzies, Sophie Skelton, and Richard Rankin, alongside Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis and author Diana Gabaldon. While having the cast together looking good in contemporary clothes is always a good time, fans were also keen to see or hear anything more about Season 3.

As a special surprise, Jenna Dewan Tatum was the moderator for the panel. “I’m the hugest, biggest ‘Outlander’ fan,” she declared. During the lively panel, Tatum challenged the actors to a “Truth or Dance” game, and the audience had the honor of seeing Balfe and...

Archer is going even further back in time next season. After a year in “Dreamland” — specifically the year 1947 — “Archer: Danger Island,” Season 9, will take place in the spring of 1939 on a remote beach locale in the South Pacific.

Announced by executive producer Matt Thompson during the Comic-Con panel in San Diego, it was also unveiled that Archer will be a seaplane pilot with one eyepatch and two partners: One is Pam Poovy, his co-pilot who he’s gotten into “many scrapes” with across the globe. The other is a “talking, fucking” parrot named Crackers, who will be voiced by Lucky Yates (who usually plays Dr. Krieger).

Lana is a princess on the island, while Mallory is a bar owner and (unlike last season) Archer’s mother. Mallory’s character in “Dreamland” was not related to Archer, and voice actress Jessica Walter said she was glad the familial connection has been restored.

“Robot Chicken” has a lot to catch up on.

It’s been over a year since the Adult Swim show was on the air, and it looks like that android-poultry hybrid spent most of its time watching TV. At the show’s Comic-Con panel Friday afternoon, the team behind “Robot Chicken” unveiled the first look at Season 9, which is set to debut at some point this fall.

Eagle-eyed viewers will spot parodies of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Westworld,” “Black Mirror,” Pokemon and At&T commercials: basically, everything that Comic-Con fans adore. (Bonus points for getting in a mention of the late, lamented “Selfie” — John Cho would be proud.) And, by the looks of things, it seems like the show’s favorite nerd has come a long way since getting starstruck by George Lucas in an elevator.

Carrie Fisher's castmates are continuing to honor the late legend.

At the D23 Expo this weekend, Fisher's Star Wars: The Last Jedi co-stars spoke to Et's Cameron Mathison about her enduring legacy and the loss they're still feeling.

Mark Hamill told Et, "It's hard to accept you know? I still think of her in the present tense, you know, she's such an irreplaceable part of that legacy."

"But the films were about triumph and tragedy and unfortunately, real life rammed straight into our fantasy in a way that we never could have imagined," he added. "I think the film has an air of melancholy about it, which it doesn't deserve, but that's life, isn't it?"

So much for Always and Forever. The Mikaelson family officially broke their vow to stick together on tonight's finale of The Originals, but it was for an incredibly good reason. In order to save Hope (and all of New Orleans) from the evil Hollow that had possessed her, Vincent (Yusuf Gatewood) explained that he had to divide up the Hollow and put it into something that was both eternal and related to Hope (Summer Fontana) by blood—Aka her vampire family. He needed four vampires, and then he needed those four vampires to go in four completely different directions, never able to see each other or Hope again in order to keep the Hollow from gaining power and trying to steal Hope's incredible...

The CW is taking another stab at a Supernatural spinoff, this one built around Kim Rhodes’ Sheriff Jody Mills.

According to Deadline, which first broke the news, the premise for the potential offshoot — tentatively titled Wayward Sisters — will be introduced in a Season 13 episode of Supernatural. Here’s the conceit: Sheriff Mills (played by Rhodes) and a group of troubled young women, all of them orphaned by supernatural tragedy, will team up as a supreme monster-fighting force.

“Unlike the original series, which centers on a biological brothers, Wayward Sisters is about a sisterhood of girls in a foster family,” Deadline reports.

Chris Cornell‘s family is honoring the rocker’s legacy.

The Soundgarden frontman’s widow, Vicky Karayiannis, exclusively shares with People a poignant, heartfelt letter she has written to her late husband.

Cornell was only 52 years old when he died last Wednesday; a medical examiner ruled his death suicide by hanging. Just hours before his body was found in his Detroit hotel room, Cornell played what would be his final concert with Soundgarden at the Fox Theatre.

His suicide remains a mystery, as family and friends say he was in good spirits in the days leading up to his death.

Chris Cornell died by suicide on May 17, and his wife Vicky bared her soul in a heartfelt note ahead of his funeral. In the open letter published in Billboard, the Soundgarden frontman's other half calls Chris "the best father, husband and son-in-law." She also vows to "stand up" and "fight for" him, and to ensure that his children, daughters Toni and Lillian and son Christopher, are well taken care of. Read her letter in full below. "To My Sweet Christopher, You were the best father, husband and son-in-law. Your patience, empathy and love always showed through. You had always said I saved you, that you wouldn't be alive if it were not for me. My heart gleamed to see you happy, living and motivated. Excited for life. Doing everything you could to give back. We had the time of our lives in the last decade and I'm sorry, my sweet love,...

Chris Cornell's wife, Vicky Cornell, penned a heartbreaking letter to her late husband on Wednesday.

American Idol lives! ABC has officially confirmed that it’s rebooting the reality competition series following its 2016 cancellation.

While we patiently wait for the show’s new network to announce a premiere date, judges and hosts, we’re looking back at where it all began for the biggest stars to come out of the show’s first 15 seasons.

Carrie Underwood

Underwood claimed the Idol crown in season 4. When we first made her acquaintance, she was an Oklahoma farm girl who had never even been on a plane, but her rendition of “I Can’t Make You Love Me” proved she was destined for bigger things.

The Hollow is a force to be reckoned with in New Orleans. 

The race was on to save the children on The Originals Season 4 Episode 4 and turned out to be another solid episode of this CW series. 

Let's start with everyone mostly teaming up to save the children of New Orleans. It must have been tough for everyone involved.

There's been so much said and done over the years that the very notion of the likes of Vincent, Klaus, Marcel, Elijah and Hayley joining forces seemed like something that would happen when hell froze over. 

The drama is always at its best on this series when crazy power struggles are going on. In this case, that power struggle was the differing factions of the French Quarter branching off to do their own thing. 

Lara's comments about Marcel being the ruler of the city were true, but I have to give...

The first weekend Moonlight was released back in October, it only played on four screens. Of course, now that it’s the Academy Award winner for Best Picture—the first Lgbtq film ever to achieve that honor—it is hitting a lot more. The movie is expanding to 1,500 theaters this weekend, A24 told The A.V. Club, for its largest run yet. (It hit its previous peak of 1,104 back in January.) The distributor also just released a new promo incorporating the speeches given by the film’s Oscar winners, actor Mahershala Ali, director Barry Jenkins, and playwright Tarrell Alvin McCraney.

February is a particular busy time for the “Queen of Sappy Love Songs,” who is also known for advice-giving, as she highlights love songs and stories all month long.

“I really do think that putting expectations on a holiday is setting yourself up for failure,” Delilah, 56, tells People exclusively. “A lot of times, in our culture and our society, we put romantic love somehow on a higher plane than self-love and friendship love. You can’t do that.
