Himesh Patel has been cast as the co-lead of Ryan Coogler's upcoming reboot of the classic sci-fi series, which is currently in development at Hulu.

In the fourth season of Industry, everyone has a story to sell: a neutered fund or loveless marriage, shamed husbands, a life aimless after retirement, a payment-processing firm hampered by its ties to porn and sex work. These labels seem to indicate mistaken priorities or misplaced trust. But they are just narratives to be refined or redefined. Everything is up for grabs if you tell the right story.

Perhaps best known for taking over The Wheel of Time, Sanderson made his electric debut 21 years ago with. Now, more than two decades later, Sanderson's complex fantasy books, including the Mistborn series and The Stormlight Archive, are finally getting adapted for film and TV.

Starring Brad Pitt as the titular Cliff Booth along with Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, and more, the trailer depicts Booth after the events of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. "So you helped rick subdue those hippie intruders, huh?," he's asked before replying "Something like that." The teaser then shows various scenes and scenarios from the film, but with minimal dialogue; though each time a character cusses or flips someone off, it's bleeped and censored.

The new FX series The Beauty opens in Paris, as a model played by Bella Hadid strides down a fashion show runway to the tune of Prodigy's "Firestarter."

The Paramount+ series stars Thornton as Tommy Norris, with Thornton's exact voice and wit embedded into the show's drama of a landman making deals for drilling rights. But after Tommy is fired near the end of season 2 and forced to start his own oil company, many fans seemed to take the late-season twist to mean that Thornton was leaving the show as well. He's not, of coursebut don't just take it from me. You can hear the confirmation from Thornton himself. I'm signed up for like five years or something, the actor told Esquire ahead of the finale.

The television show I'm most enjoying right now: There is a Hollywood story in David Niven's autobiography Bring on the Empty Horses, in which the screenwriter Charles MacArthur asks Charlie Chaplin how to make the comic pratfall scene of a person slipping on a banana peel new again. Chaplin suggests that MacArthur start with a lady walking down the street and cut to a shot of the banana peel on the sidewalk, which the lady steps over-right before she falls down a manhole.

Apple TV+ has become one of the best streaming services for sci-fi, with hits like Pluribus, Severance, Foundation and many more. There are so many shows that it's easy to forget the one that started it all.

It concludes on May 29, with new installments dropping each Friday.
