Elizabeth, Mr. Darcy yearn in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ Netflix series teaser trailer

February 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a streaming service in possession of a good fortune, must provide the teaser trailer for its Pride and Prejudice adaptation.

Netflix has shared the first trailer for its upcoming six-part series adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel. It has also announced that the series will be available to stream in fall 2026.

The official teaser, which runs just less than a minute, shows off Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet and Jack Lowden as Mr. Darcy.

There is no dialogue in the trailer, only yearning. We see Elizabeth sitting on her roof gazing out into the sun, before it cuts to a handwritten letter from Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth runs through muddy paths, there is lingered eye contact through horse-drawn carriages and a glimpse at the pair dancing at a ball. The final image is of Mr. Darcy sitting atop his horse staring out at what one can only assume is the direction of Elizabeth.

Bestselling author Dolly Alderton has adapted Austen’s novel for the screen while Heartstopper director Euros Lyn is helming the series.

In addition to Corrin and Lowden, the show’s cast includes Olivia Colman, Rufus Sewell, Freya Mavor, Jamie Demetriou, Daryl McCormack, Rhea Norwood, Siena Kelly and Louis Partridge.

“Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life,” Alderton said in a statement originally shared in July 2025.

Louvre director resigns months after jewel heist in Paris

February 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(PARIS) — The director of the Louvre Museum in France has resigned, months after $102 million in jewels were stolen, according to the office of the French president.

Laurence des Cars’ tenure has been under intense scrutiny since the heist and she has faced calls for resignation.

French President Emmanuel Macron praised the resignation “as an act of responsibility at a time when the world’s largest museum needs both stability and a strong new impetus to successfully complete major security and modernization projects,” the Élysée said in a statement Tuesday.

“The President thanked her for her work and commitment over the past few years and, recognizing her undeniable scientific expertise, entrusted her with a mission within the framework of the French G7 presidency, focusing on cooperation between the major museums of the participating countries,” according to the statement.

At least seven suspects have been arrested in connection with the October robbery but the jewels have not been recovered.

Empress Eugénie’s crown was the only item the thieves did not escape with during the robbery. The thieves dropped it on the street outside the Louvre during the roughly five-minute long heist.

The crown “was crushed and significantly deformed” during the heist, the Louvre said in a statement earlier this month. However, “it remained largely intact,” meaning museum officials believe it can be fully restored.

In light of the robbery, security lapses at the museum have been exposed, including that the password to the world-famous museum’s video surveillance system was “Louvre,” according to a museum employee with knowledge of the system.

During testimony before a French Senate committee after the robbery, des Cars said the only camera installed outside the Apollo Gallery, where the stolen jewels were displayed, was facing west and did not cover the window where the thieves used power tools to break in and exit.

Des Cars said all of the museum’s alarms and video cameras work, but said there was a “weakness” in the museum’s perimeter security “due to underinvestment.”

Bruce Springsteen’s tour to include special appearance by Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello

February 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will have a special guest on their upcoming Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour.

Springsteen just announced on social media that Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello will be joining the tour for “selected songs for every date” of the tour.

“Grammy-winning, Harvard-educated, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted artist, songwriter and activist Tom Morello is living proof of the transformative power of rock ‘n’ roll,” reads the post.

The announcement comes just weeks after Springsteen was the surprise guest at Morello’s charity concert in Minneapolis, where Springsteen performed his new protest song “Streets of Minneapolis,” and was joined by Morello for “The Ghost of Tom Joad.”

“After Bruce joined me last month in Minneapolis for our Defend Minnesota charity concert, I was reminded how important our platform is, and how crucial the resistance work is that our music can do together at this dangerous historical juncture,” Morello says. “Together, Bruce, the E Street Band, and I are going to turn a spotlight on the current threats to democracy and human rights happening all around us on the Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour in the spirit of freedom, justice and rock n roll.”

Morello previously toured with Springsteen and The E Street Band for several years in the mid-2010s, filling in for Stevie Van Zandt who was off filming the TV show Lilyhammer. Morello also appeared on two Springsteen albums, 2012’s Wrecking Ball and 2014’s High Hopes.

The Land of Hope and Dreams tour kicks off March 31 in Minneapolis, and wraps May 27 in Washington, D.C. A complete list of dates and ticket information can be found at BruceSpringsteen.net.

February 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Queen + Adam Lambert performed at the 91st annual Academy Awards held in Los Angeles, treating the Hollywood audience to “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions.”

‘Lizzie McGuire’ stars remember Robert Carradine after his death at 71

February 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Hilary Duff is remembering her TV dad, Robert Carradine, with whom she starred on the Disney Channel show Lizzie McGuire.

Carradine died Monday at the age of 71 after a decades-long mental health battle, a representative for his brother, actor Keith Carradine, confirmed to ABC News.

“This one hurts,” Duff wrote on Instagram along with two photos of her with Robert Carradine.

“There was so much warmth in the McGuire family and I always felt so cared for by my on-screen parents. I’ll be forever grateful for that,” Duff continued. “I’m deeply sad to learn Bobby was suffering. My heart aches for him, his family, and everyone who loved him.”

Jake Thomas, who played Duff’s on-screen brother, Matt McGuire, also paid tribute to his TV dad, writing on Instagram about Robert Carradine’s death, “My heart hurts today.”

“I was fortunate to know Bobby for most of my life. And he was one of the coolest guys you could ever meet. Funny, pragmatic, sometimes cranky, always a little eccentric,” Thomas wrote, later adding, “He was a talented actor, musician, and director. But more than anything, he was family.”

Robert Carradine, who also starred in movies including Revenge of the Nerds and Coming Home, died after a nearly 20-year battle with bipolar disorder, according to his family.

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that “causes unusual shifts in a person’s mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration” that are more severe than the usual ups and downs that people experience, according to the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health.

Robert Carradine was born into the famous Carradine acting family on March 24, 1954, in Hollywood, California. His father was actor John Carradine, who starred in films including the The Grapes of Wrath and Stagecoach, and his mother was actress Sonia Sorel.

Robert Carradine is survived by his children, Marika Reed Carradine and Ian Carradine, whom he shared with his ex-wife, Edie Mani, and Ever Carradine, whom he shared with actress Susan Snyder.

Ever Carradine shared a loving tribute to her dad on Instagram, writing, “I knew my dad loved me, I knew it deep in my bones, and I always knew he had my back.”

“My dad was a lover, not a fighter. He was all heart, and in a world so full of conflict and division, I think we can all take a page out of his book today, open our hearts and feel and share the love,” she continued, in part. “I have a thousand stories and I’m being flooded with memories — so if you see me, please ask me about my dad, Bobby Carradine, who made me who I am. Rest easy, dad. I love you the most.”

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

And the greatest pop song of the streaming era, according to Spotify, is …

February 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

After putting together a list of the Classic Pop Albums of the streaming era, Spotify’s music editors have now created a list of the 100 Greatest Pop Songs of the Streaming Era. Unlike the albums list, this one is ranked.

So what’s number one? It’s Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license.” It was released in January of 2021, during a time, Spotify notes, that “the pop landscape was in a lull” because “the pandemic had stalled the development and promotion of new pop artists.”

Boosted by its love triangle backstory, the song “whipped through the pop music discourse,” Spotify writes, reminding us “what it felt like to watch a star be born in real time.”

In terms of actual numbers, when “drivers license” was released, it broke the Spotify record for most streams in a single-day for a non-holiday song, and then broke its own record the next day.

The rest of the top 10 Greatest Pop Songs of the Streaming Era, according to Spotify, are:

2. Chappell Roan – “Pink Pony Club”
3. Taylor Swift – “Cruel Summer”
4. Dua Lipa – “Don’t Start Now”
5. Carly Rae Jepsen – “Run Away With Me”
6. Justin Bieber – “Sorry”
7. Lorde – “Green Light”
8. Drake –”One Dance”
9. Billie Eilish – “BIRDS OF A FEATHER”
10. Ariana Grande – “no tears left to cry”

Other songs on Spotify’s list include Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers,” The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,” The Chainsmokers’ “Closer,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” Harry Styles’ “Watermelon Sugar,” Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” Adele’s “Hello,” “Rihanna’s “Love on the Brain” and multiple other songs by Dua, Taylor, Ed, Billie and Ariana.
