Andy and Barbara are hard at work trying to come up with an idea for a story they'd want to tell for another season. It's not limbo other than they need to land on something they're excited by creatively. We'll be there.
Netflix has officially renewed Virgin River for Season 8. In fact, the renewal came in July 2025, long before the anticipated arrival of Season 7, hinting at just how much confidence Netflix has in the series and its viewership.
Being raised in Mormon culture, I learned that the women were supposed to be at home, nurturing children, and the men were supposed to be out providing and working. For a woman, wanting success outside the home was selfish. That perception has definitely changed throughout the years. Now, I know you can be a better mom when you're pursuing your dreams. When you fill your cup, you have more to give.
Don't call yourself a fan if you share racist/homophobic/biphobic/misogynistic/ageist/ableist/parasocial/bigoted comments of any kind. None of us need your hateful 'love.' We all respect and support and love each other and are on the same side. If you can't accept that gtfoh.
For the purposes of the BFOA, and what its main agenda and the goal is, there are people that are in the financial and otherwise, and anything that we can do to contribute to giving a helping hand to them is something we should not hesitate to do.

Saturday Night Live is one of the most influential comedy brands in the world and bringing the UK edition to Peacock is a natural extension of that legacy. As the streaming home of SNL, Peacock is proud to introduce bold new British voices to a global stage.
This season introduces the 'Ohana Round, filmed at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. The new round is part of a three-episode arc that follows the show's Hollywood Week, offering the competition's top 30 hopefuls a more intimate stage. During the round, contestants perform for industry influencers, including social media stars, choreographers, music creators and more, whose combined social media reach totals nearly 149 million followers.
The Daryl Hannah of the series, ditzy and needy and serving as a human complication to the love story on offer, is, Hannah asserted, a lie. The character's arc is 'not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John,' she wrote. Her essay came with a plaintive title: 'How Can Love Story Get Away With This?'
Seven million pounds, he repeats in his Irish brogue. And you can't even eat it. The audience laugh. A heckler shouts that he'd offer a fiver for it. The band strike up. At the back of the studio, two burly bodyguards stand silhouetted. The egg's diamond-studded shell sparkles under the bright lights.
Walmart bought Vizio in 2024, and now it's taking the next steps to formally fold the TV maker into itself by phasing out Vizio accounts. Now, when you purchase a new Vizio TV, you'll be asked to sign in or create a Walmart account. Customers will have the option to merge their Vizio account, if they have one, with their Walmart account.
I've been doing my Bill Clinton impression since the early days of Family Guy. It's an interesting example of how AI can be used as a tool and not necessarily trample on the art that the rest of the industry is doing. We tried prosthetics, we tried traditional CGI, and everything just looked terrifying. So we just said, 'To hell with it, let's try AI.' It worked. It was the only way to look like Bill Clinton.
We don't know when the second season will begin and we're not being coy. According to Tierney, season two will begin production in August. Asked what the upcoming second outing might entail, G.K. and Chang said they aren't exactly sure of the plot yet.
Rooster is the new feel-good comfort sitcom of the season, and it commands your perfect attendance this semester. But if you want to be lame and go to Cancun for a week or whatever, fret not, because Rooster is streaming for your convenience.
I have never used cocaine in my life or hosted cocaine-fueled parties. I have never pressured anyone into marriage. I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone's private memorial. I have never planted any story in the press. I never compared Jacqueline Onassis' death to a dog's.
While Howard's case is full of nuance, Ogilvie initially only sees him as an overweight patient who might be better served by the medical facilities at the zoo. It's a breathtakingly callous statement, especially when made within earshot of the patient, yet to many larger-bodied people, it's a very real concern.
A recent tragedy-exploiting television series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette features a character using my name and presents her as me. The choice to portray her as irritating, self-absorbed, whiny and inappropriate was no accident. But a real, living person is not a narrative device. Isn't it textbook misogyny to tear down one woman in order to build up another?
The golf, the courts, the exclusivity, the discretion. People need a place where they can feel safe, where they can pretend everything is okay. It's the land of make-believe. This opening statement establishes the country club as a sanctuary where members escape reality and maintain carefully constructed personas, setting up the central tension of the season.
Just because it's made by a streaming company doesn't mean they cut corners. This mini-LED, QLED-powered panel handles dark colors and shadows with grace, with no haloing or distortion like you might find on other QLED screens at lower price points.
Through favors and coercion, both couples vie for the approval of the elitist club's billionaire owner, Chairwoman Park (Youn Yuh-jung), who struggles to manage her own scandal involving her second husband, Doctor Kim (Song Kang-ho).
The teaser trailers reveal a young couple, played by Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny, who both work at a country club. The two accidentally witness a physical fight between their boss and his wife (Oscar Isaac and Carrie Mulligan). Mulligan throws and breaks something fragile, and Isaac yells "Stop! Stop it!" while brandishing a golf club at her.
