In an Instagram video of the final moments on set, executive producer Eric Kripke thanked the cast and crew of The Boys for wrapping the fourth season.

In an f-bomb-loaded send-off, Kripke thanked his stars and the Amazon show’s crew, calling working on the show “one of the great honors of my life.”

Shown embracing in the video were a bloodied Jack Quaid (Hughie), Karen Fukuhara (Kimiko) and Erin Moriarty (Starlight/Annie), and a relatively clean Karl Urban (Billy Butcher), Laz Alonso (Mother’s Milk) and a fist-pumping Tomer Capone (Frenchie). Not seen was Antony Starr (Homelander), so it’s likely the final shot was of the series’ heroes.

Recently ABC Audio asked executive producer Seth Rogen what he could tell us about the fourth season. “It’s just so crazy,” he expressed.

“Every time I’m like, ‘These guys have done the craziest stuff you could ever do.’ I’ll, like, watch — there’s one set piece in this new season that is, like, I’m disturbed that I work with the people who conceived of it,” he said.

The show’s fourth season will start either late this year or in early 2024.

Netflix’s Emmy-winning comic book adaptation Sweet Tooth finally returns on April 27, and its new trailer shows Gus (Christian Convery) and the other human-animal hybrids’ fight for survival.

The series, produced by Robert Downey Jr. and his wife and co-producer, Susan Downey, takes place after a deadly virus decimates the human population. Human-animal hybrids were born, and some survivors blame them for the extinction-level event.

Hunted and, as seen in last season’s finale, harvested for a cure for the disease they’re immune to, young Gus and his hybrid friends plot an escape from the clutches of the evil General Abbot (Neil Sandilands).

Netflix teases, “Gus and his found family find themselves on a collision course with Abbot and the evil forces that look to wipe them out once and for all.”

The trailer closes with a character saying of Gus, “That boy might be our only hope.”

Already having become the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time even before its second weekend in theaters, the box office gross of The Super Mario Bros. Movie is still mushrooming.

The Universal film cleared more than $691 million over the weekend and is expected to barrel past the $700 million mark by the time the sun rises on Tuesday.

In both U.S. theaters and overseas, Deadline reports, the movie enjoyed a huge Sunday, which is generally a weaker theatrical day than Friday and Saturday. The movie starring the voices of Chris Pratt, Jack Black, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy and Seth Rogen actually jumped on Sunday versus its box office take on Saturday in several major European markets.

The LA County District Attorney’s Office confirms to KABC that the Los Angeles Police Department has presented a case involving actor Armie Hammer and that it is “under review.” It means that the LAPD has wrapped up its investigation, and now the DA’s office will review the case and decide if there is enough evidence to charge Hammer. They can decide to go with a case or not — or they can request more investigation by police.

It’s unclear what case has been presented to the DA. But Hammer has been under investigation for sexual assault since early 2021 involving an alleged rape in 2017. He has denied all accusations.

In January 2021, Hammer’s ex-girlfriend Paige Lorenze released unverified DMs that allegedly came from Hammer and claimed the actor harbored fantasies involving cannibalism. In addition, the 22-year-old alleged Hammer was “obsessed” with the idea of “taking a piece of me…and consuming it.”

A second woman, a 24-year-old who goes by the name Effie, also came forward in 2021, claiming she thought the Golden Globe nominee was going to kill her after he allegedly “violently” raped her on April 24, 2017.

Hammer’s attorneys have claimed all of his relationships have been consensual.

If you are affected by abuse and needing support, or know someone who is, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, or the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). You can also chat online at thehotline.org or online.rainn.org, respectively.

(NOTE LANGUAGE) New Girl, the beloved Fox sitcom that ran from 2011 to 2018, has found a new place to crash.

Peacock has announced that all seven seasons of the show, which starred Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Hannah Simone, Lamorne Morris, Damon Wayans Jr. and Megan Fox, are now available for streaming.

To promote the new addition, the network released a fake “Roommates Wanted” ad, noting that the “desired qualities” included “Must be willing to help with pranks,” “always have change at hand to contribute to the d*****bag jar,” and of course, “Must give a cookie if I got you a cookie” — all callbacks to the offbeat show.

Oh, “dealbreakers” include “Doesn’t like cats” and “doesn’t like Dirty Dancing.”

Oh, and rent is a reasonable $4.99 a month — which is, not coincidentally, Peacock’s subscription price.

Meanwhile, in a new chat with WSJ. Magazine, Zooey expressed of a potential New Girl reboot, “It kind of depends on the circumstance. I wouldn’t want to spend the rest of my life doing reboots, but I definitely had a wonderful time and would be very happy to revisit.”

SEGA, the company that created Sonic the Hedgehog, has acquired Rovio, the company behind the Angry Birds phenomenon, in a deal worth $775 million.

That’s a lot of gold rings.

In a statement, Rovio CEO Alexandre Pelletier-Normand enthused, “I grew up playing Sonic the Hedgehog, captivated by its state-of-the-art design. Later, when I played Angry Birds for the first time, I knew that gaming had evolved into a true mainstream phenomenon, with the power to shape modern culture.”

What began as a mobile game in 2009, Angry Birds has since spawned a franchise of some 30 games, an animated series, a pair of feature films in 2016, and 2019, respectively, and scads of merchandise.

Sony Pictures is releasing The Angry Birds Movie 3: Tropi-Collapse in 2024.

For his part, Sonic became a movie star in 2020, and a sequel was released two years later. His next big screen bow is set for December 20, 2024 from Paramount Pictures — and don’t be surprised if his new angry avian co-workers make an appearance.

Dreams do come true!

That’s what Kim Kardashian captioned a video of her daughter, North West, joining Katy Perry onstage during a show at her Las Vegas residency over the weekend. Like a proud mama, The Kardashians star chronicled the entire experience on her Instagram Stories. 

In one clip, where the duo is onstage, Katy says to North, “So the reason I know your name is because I’m a huge fan of your TikTok.”

“I’ve seen a couple of them that you’ve made, she continues. “You’re a really good dancer, and I thought what better way to be a great dancer [than] to show the world your awesome dance moves?”

North then asks if her friends can join to which Katy replies, “She’s got friends, she doesn’t wanna do it alone. This is awesome.”

Katy, North, and three of her friends, then proceed to have a mini dance session onstage.

Kim and North weren’t the only celebs to visit Katy’s show. The “Daisies” singer took to Instagram to share some snapshots from the show, revealing that Sia and Paris Hilton were also in attendance.

Oscar winner Jamie Foxx continues to recover from the mysterious medical emergency that left him hospitalized last week, People is reporting.

While reps for the star have been mum, a source tells the magazine that Foxx is “steadily improving.”

The Ray star had been nearing the end of production on his Netflix action comedy Back in Action with co-star Cameron Diaz, when according to his daughter Corinne last Tuesday, the 55-year-old experienced a “medical complication.”

Explaining he was “recovering,” Corinne’s message added, “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy at this time.”

Production on the movie, for which Foxx lured Diaz out of retirement, was temporarily halted after the emergency, according to TMZ, which noted things got rolling again on Thursday. While Foxx remains in the hospital for testing, his stunt double was called in to shoot in his place, according to photos of the stand-in posted on the gossip site.

Netflix’s live telecast of the Love Is Blind reunion hit a snag on Sunday when, instead of the show, set to begin at 8 p.m. ET, viewers saw an error message that read, “Pardon the interruption. We’re having trouble playing Netflix. Please check your internet and try again.” Almost 90 minutes after the broadcast was to start, Netflix’s Twitter account apologized for the goof. The show eventually did get up and running, but was no longer a live event. The event marked the streamer’s second live telecast, following its successful live stream of Chris Rock‘s standup comedy special, Selective Outrage. Next year, Netflix will stream the Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony, marking the first major awards show to broadcast on a streaming service…

On Sunday night, the curtain fell on Broadway’s longest-running show: Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s The Phantom of the Opera closed after more than 35 years. Since opening on Broadway in January of 1988, Phantom has played almost 14,000 performances to over 20 million theatergoers, while grossing over $1.3 billion…

Bryan Cranston clarified comments he made on Dax Shepard’s recent Armchair Expert podcast in which he ruled out a third season for Showtime’s Your Honor. The Breaking Bad Emmy winner tells Deadline, “Showtime has indicated there is interest.” Adds Cranston, “If it happens, fantastic, but it’d have to be some great reason to keep expanding in this world and to find out where the allegiances are.” Cranston plays Judge Michael Desiato, whose son, Adam — portrayed by Hunter Doohan — died in the season 2 finale. Cranston says he would only return if season 3 truly explored a father grieving the loss of his son…
