Netflix’s “It’s What’s Inside” is the body-swapping thriller that sparked a bidding war at Sundance, and it’s finally streaming for all to see. And you’re probably going to want to see it a couple of times, because the ensemble cast is constantly rotating through characters, leaving the audience to keep up with who’s who — and in who’s body — at what point in the film.
We’re going to keep the basic cast and character details here spoiler-free, though we will add some hints to help you keep track, in case you’re wondering where you’ve seen that actor before without getting the whole movie ruined for you.

The Jackson 5 have found their harmony once again for the upcoming biopic “Michael” from director Antoine Fuqua and Oscar-winning producer Graham King.
After a worldwide search led filmmakers to cast Jackson’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, as the King of Pop, with 9-year-old Juliano Krue Valdi as the younger Michael, fans have been eagerly waiting to see who would round out the rest of the Jackson family.
The film, which is scheduled to hit theaters on April 18, 2025, is currently in production. Oscar-nominee Colman Domingo assumes the role of family patriarch Joe Jackson with Nia Long as mother Katherine Jackson, plus Miles Teller as lawyer John Branca.

Ever since Saving Private Ryan, it has been nearly impossible not to get excited over a Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks collaboration, especially when it comes to projects surrounding their shared love of World War II. And their latest, Masters of the Air, looks to be a stellar addition to the lineup.
This time around, executive producers Spielberg and Hanks – along with Gary Geotzman who, like the aforementioned men, helped get Band of Brothers and The Pacific on the air – take to the skies, focusing on a group in the United States Army Air Forces. While Band of Brothers and The Pacific were both monumental hits for HBO and won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Miniseries, Masters of the Air will be headed to Apple TV+, where it is no doubt one of the most highly anticipated series since the service launched.

Alycia Debnam-Carey left Fear The Walking Dead in season 7. Since leaving the show, Debnam-Carey has taken on main roles in different projects, showcasing her range beyond the apocalyptic heroine roles she's known for. Although her character, Alicia Clark, is still alive at the end of Fear The Walking Dead, there is potential for her to return to the Walking Dead franchise in a crossover, especially considering her connection to Morgan Jones and the rising threat of the Civic Republic Military.
Alycia Debnam-Carey made no secret of her motivation for leaving Fear The Walking Dead in 2022. Alongside Colman Domingo's Victor Strand and Rubén Blades' Daniel Salazar, Alycia Debnam-Carey's Alicla Clark was one of precious few original characters still standing in Fear The Walking Dead season 7. While Victor and Daniel would roll onto season 8, Fear The Walking Dead's final season, Alicia left the group. Mistakenly believing she was close to death,...

Warning: spoilers ahead for Fear The Walking Dead season 8, episode 8.
Fear The Walking Dead faces the challenge of incorporating Alicia Clark into its ending, possibly without Alycia Debnam-Carey in the cast. Madison's line about putting zombie Alicia to rest sets up a possibility for Fear The Walking Dead's ending. Including a zombified Alicia played by a different actress could be a solution, but it may be preferable to not include the character at all if Alycia Debnam-Carey cannot return.
Fear The Walking Dead's final episodes have an Alicia Clark problem, but a line from Madison sets up one way the absent character can return without original actor Alycia Debnam-Carey. After playing Alicia since the very first episode in 2015, Alycia Debnam-Carey left Fear The Walking Dead at the end of season 7. AMC then announced Fear The Walking Dead season 8 as the show's conclusion, giving the spinoff a major story dilemma.

When The 100 debuted on The CW in 2014, it was a nice change of pace for the network.
The post-apocalyptic drama followed a group of survivors from The Ark who return to Earth nearly 100 years after a nuclear apocalypse.
With all seven seasons of the series being available to binge on Netflix, it's easier to watch the show than ever.
The 100 had an expansive cast because we met many different factions throughout.
Let's take a look at what the cast has been up to since the series wrapped.

Warning: spoilers ahead for Fear The Walking Dead season 8, episode 7.
Killing Alicia off-screen would be a huge injustice to her character, considering her importance and longevity on Fear The Walking Dead. Alicia's death would mean no closure for her character after her uncertain exit and no reunion with her mother, Madison. Fear The Walking Dead can still rescue Alicia's character by reintroducing her before season 8 finishes and delivering the Madison reunion the show needs.
Fear The Walking Dead is claiming that a major death took place off-screen, but such an unceremonious end would represent a huge injustice for this zombie apocalypse veteran - if proven true. Having debuted as a member of the original Fear The Walking Dead cast in episode 1, Alycia Debnam-Carey eventually departed in season 7. While Alicia Clark believed she was dying, her fever ultimately broke, and "Amina" concluded with the protagonist wandering toward an unknown future, alive and well.

Saint X on Hulu is a gripping crime series set in the idyllic Caribbean, with a dark and twisted plot that keeps viewers hooked. While the show received mixed reviews from critics, it gained a strong following among audiences, earning an impressive 84% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Although the series has similarities to the real-life Natalee Holloway case, it is actually a fictional story based on Alexis Schaitkin's 2020 novel, which received critical acclaim upon release. A second season is unlikely due to the limited source material.
Saint X on Hulu tells a shocking and gripping crime story with plenty of twists and turns, but the show's believability has left many to wonder if it is based on a true story. The psychological drama series was developed for the screen by Leila Gerstein and follows Emily as she travels to the Caribbean to finally learn the truth about her older sister's brutal murder two decades earlier.

Toronto-born, rapper, singer, and songwriter Drake has seen immense success as a musician, releasing seven studio albums, three compilation albums, four EPs, and seven mix tapes. He has seen great success in both the West and Europe, and at the end of 2022, was reported to have sold 184 million singles, making him the highest-selling singles artist in RIAA (Record Industry Association of America) history, blowing past Eminem, who previously held the record of 166 million singles sales.
As a musical artist, Drake is known worldwide for his unique style (often deemed pop-rap) that draws heavy influences from the rapper's life experiences and relationships with women.

Saint X is going all out on its complexities with every episode. And it has made me begin harboring doubts over whether it will offer answers to all the questions it’s made me form in my mind since it began. There’s a lot of explanation I need, and I’m sure you do too. At the end of Episode 5, we had a letter from Sara’s husband, and it surely has some shocking information, possibly regarding Edwin being in New York. Also, Josh has seen Clive. Let’s find out what Saint X Episode 6 has in store.

Episode 4 of Saint X ended with John noticing Emily talking to a guy in front of their home. She has begun her assignment of making Gogo trust her. In Alison’s timeline, we have Ethan as a suspect alongside Edwin. In Gogo’s timeline, we find out that Sara has married Edwin, but we do not know if Edwin has come to New York or is still in the Caribbean. Saint X Episode 5 is an oxymoron. Nothing happens, but a lot happens anyways. And it’s unnervingly restless, much more so than the previous episodes.

Saint X is turning out to be quite a restless series in the way it is slowly crouching towards its as yet unknown ending. We have Clairey, a.k.a. Emily, who is stalking Gogo. We have Alison, who is getting more and more involved with Edwin. While these are the primary storylines that we need to follow, a lot else is happening in the background that gives us a better sketch of the characters. Episode 3 ends with Emily deciding to make Gogo trust her just like he and Edwin made Alison trust them before raping and killing her. Gogo, on the other hand, still has nightmares of the witch from Faraway Cay, which means that he is still not over what happened on the night of Alison’s death. Let’s find out what Saint X Episode 4 has in store for us and, more importantly, for Emily and Gogo.

Debnam-Carey revealed exclusively to TV Fanatic that she chose not to read the book because she knew there would be distinct changes in the series.
"I didn't want to cross-pollinate what was happening on set versus in the book," the star shares.
"So I decided to just focus on the scripts and that character arc as it was being written for the show."
The star revealed that she waited to read the book until production was completed, and she hopes fans of the show will discover the book.

“Saint X,” Alexis Schaitkin’s acclaimed 2020 novel, has roiling depth beneath its placid surface, much like the pristine waters of the Caribbean island where it takes place. The body of a young American girl washes ashore in those tropical tides, and because her death incites the story, “Saint X” initially cuts the figure of a thriller. Yes, the book slowly unfurls the details behind her untimely demise. But the story isn’t really about what happened, it’s about the grief, recrimination and obsession that consumes the survivors over time. It’s a meditation on trauma, shot through with social commentary and disguised as a nondescript “imperiled woman” beach read.
Hulu’s series adaptation of “Saint X” hews closely to its source material, which winds up being as much a curse as a gift. The show also feints at a proper whodunnit, then builds to a nuanced, if anticlimactic conclusion,...

In a moment of emotional crisis, Alison (West Duchovny) blurts out the suspicion that’s been weighing on her to a stranger in the bathroom: “Am I generic?” she sobs. And though the stranger assures her that she’s not, Saint X takes a more nuanced view.
In premise, the series would seem to be a fairly standard take on the dead-white-girl narrative, with Alison’s eventual unexplained death serving as the mystery at the heart of the plot. But as with the 2020 Alexis Schaitkin novel it’s based on, it upends those tropes by offering a kaleidoscope of perspectives that reconsider what kind of stories we expect from tragedies like these, and who gets to be at their center — or it aims to, anyway. Unfortunately, an accumulation of minor fumbles leaves what could’ve been an incisive subversion of a familiar story feeling, instead, more like a replication of it.

In any good mystery series that withholds its answers until the very end, our investment hinges upon the depth of the characters and their lives outside the looming revelations. There can be a spectacular conclusion that upends all that we had come to expect, but it is nothing without a foundation that gets us to care. By the time all the cards are laid on the table, the weight of impact hinges on all the surrounding details. In Saint X, the new Hulu adaptation of the novel of the same name by Alexis Schaitkin, we almost get there. Through the story of a suspected murder via two timelines, the lead-up to it and the aftermath many years later, its emotional focus is unfortunately bifurcated and ultimately dissipates because of this dispersion. Despite some strong episodes that take us deeper into the lives of the characters grappling with loss, Saint X...
