Carmy’s coming back for more.

The Bear has been renewed for a fifth season on FX. This renewal news comes a little over a week after season 4 dropped on June 25.

John Landgraf, the chairman of FX, announced the renewal in a statement.

“The Bear continues to be a fan favorite worldwide and their response to this season—as seen through incredibly high viewership—has been as spectacular as any of its previous seasons,” Landgraf said. “Year-in and year-out, Chris Storer, the producers, cast and crew make The Bear one of the best shows on television, and we are excited that they will continue to tell this magnificent story.”

Jeremy Allen White stars as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, a young chef who moves back to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop after a tragic family death. Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach also star as Sydney Adamu and Richard “Richie” Jerimovich.

Season 4 of The Bear finds Carmy, Sydney and Richie pushing forward, “determined not only to survive, but also to take The Bear to the next level,” according to an official synopsis. “With new challenges around every corner, the team must adapt, adjust and overcome. The pursuit of excellence isn’t just about getting better – it’s about deciding what’s worth holding on to.”

Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Matty Matheson, Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon also starred in season 4.

Storer created The Bear and serves as an executive producer. The show won 11 Emmys for its second season, which is the most wins for a comedy series ever in a single year.

(SPOILER ALERT) Theo is going through it in the latest episode of The Buccaneers.

In the third episode of season 2, the Duke of Tintagel is not only dealing with the discovery that his wife, Nan (Kristine Frøseth), was intimate with his best friend, Guy (Matthew Broome), the night before their wedding — he’s also coming to terms with the fact that his mother knew about the affair and chose not to tell him about it.

Guy Remmers, who plays Duke Theo on the show, spoke to ABC Audio about his character’s intense emotional journey.

“Such a roller coaster,” Remmers said. “The betrayal of his mother, the betrayal of his best friend, you know, there were so many life-changing, uprooting things that happens to him.”

While the subject matter of the episode was emotionally intense, Remmers said it was a dream to get to play.

“It was a treat. It was an absolute pleasure. It’s an actor’s dream to have all those huge emotional, turbulent things happen to you and you get to try and see the world through that person’s eyes,” Remmers said. “It was a pleasure. Challenging, but exciting.”

Episode three also finds Lizzy engaged to her new suitor, Hector. After a first season without any viable romantic prospects for her character, actress Aubri Ibrag said seeing Lizzy explore love connections in season 2 was what she hoped for.

“I think she’s finally sort of come out of a comfort zone and put herself out there and opened herself up to the opportunity of love after being hurt in season 1,” Ibrag said. “That’s what I really hoped for, for Lizzy.”

New episodes of The Buccaneers season 2 drop Wednesdays on Apple TV+.

Glen Powell is on the run in the official trailer for The Running Man.

Paramount Pictures released the trailer for the dystopian action-comedy film on Tuesday. The movie, which was directed by Edgar Wright, follows a man who enters a deadly TV competition show.

Based on the novel by Stephen King, The Running Man is set in a society in the near-future. The movie centers around a popular TV show whose contestants have to survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. Each and every one of their moves are broadcast to the public while every day of survival brings a bigger cash reward.

“Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort,” according to the film’s official synopsis. “But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.”

Along with Powell and Brolin, the film stars Colman Domingo, Lee Pace, Jayme Lawson, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones and William H. Macy.

A previous film adaptation of King’s novel starring Arnold Schwarzenegger was released in 1987.

The Running Man arrives in theaters on Nov. 7.

Jennifer Aniston will star in a series inspired by Jennette McCurdy‘s memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died.

The drama-comedy will consist of 10 episodes made for Apple TV+. McCurdy serves as a writer, executive producer and the showrunner of the series alongside Ari Katcher.

McCurdy’s #1 New York Times bestselling memoir recounts her struggles as a former child actor as she dealt with her overbearing and domineering mother.

Apple TV+ describes the upcoming series as a dramedy that “will center on the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid’s show, and her narcissistic mother who relishes in her identity as ‘a starlet’s mother.’”

Aniston will play the starlet’s mother in the series. She’ll also executive produce the show. Sharon Horgan, Tom Ackerley and Jerrod Carmichael are among several other executive producers on the project.

This marks another collaboration between Aniston and Apple TV+. The actress stars in and executive produces the service’s drama series The Morning Show.

McCurdy is known for her time playing Sam on the Nickelodeon series iCarly. She reprised that role in the spinoff series Sam & Cat.

I’m Glad My Mom Died was published on Aug. 9, 2022. It has spent over 80 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list.
