Keira Knightley Gets Sucked Into a Nautical Mystery in First Trailer for Netflix’s ‘The Woman in Cabin 10’

Ready to meet “The Woman in Cabin 10?”

The new Netflix thriller, based on the bestselling novel by Ruth Ware and starring Keira Knightley, arrives on the streaming platform on Oct. 10. But thanks to a brand-new trailer, you can dip your toes into the nautical thriller starting now. Watch it below.

TRAILER

The trailer introduces Knightley’s Laura “Lo” Blacklock, a journalist who is invited on a charity cruise for the rich and famous, who witnesses a woman (the titular woman in cabin 10) falling – or getting thrown overboard. The problem? Nobody on the cruise believes her. Will she uncover the truth? And what will it cost her?

The rest of the “Woman in Cabin 10” cast includes Guy Pearce, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Kaya Scodelario, David Morrissey, Hannah Waddingham and David Ajala.

“The Woman in Cabin 10” was directed by Simon Stone, with a script by Joe Shrapne, Anna Waterhouse and Stone. Stone previously directed the 2021 historical drama “The Dig” for Netflix.

Ware, the author, said in a statement, “At its heart, the film is about a woman who experiences something wrong, reports it truthfully, and isn’t taken seriously because of who she is. Too many people know what that feels like and I think we want vindication for ourselves as much as Lo.”

“The Woman in Cabin 10” arrives on Netflix on Oct. 10.

YouTube’s TV Viewership Streak Continues for 6th Consecutive Month With 13.4% Share in July

YouTube’s streak as TV’s top media distributor continued in July, with the company capturing 13.4% of TV viewing. The company established its largest lead to date over its streaming and legacy media competitors since Nielsen began first tracking in November 2023.

Disney stayed in second place at 9.4%, while Netflix jumped to 8.8% in July –rounding out the top three for the second consecutive month.

The latter saw the largest volume gain across all streaming platforms during the month, increasing its average minute audience by an additional 215,000 viewers compared to June. It was also the only streaming platform to exhibit an increase across all viewing demographic categories month over month.

NBCUniversal and Paramount landed in the fourth and fifth place spots with 7.6% and 7% of TV viewing for the month, respectively.

The remainder of the list included Fox at 6.5%, Warner Bros. Discovery at 6%, Amazon at 3.9%, The Roku Channel at 2.8%, Scripps at 2.2%, Weigel Broadcasting at 1.4%, Hallmark at 1.1% A+E Networks at 1% and AMC Networks at 0.8%.

The Roku Channel saw the largest monthly increase of all streaming platforms with a 7.5% boost compared to June.

Amazon’s gains were driven by its “Bosch” spinoff “Ballard,” which attracted viewers over 50 and generated 2.5 billion minutes viewed, and new episodes of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” which resonated with the 12-to-24 demo and totaled 1.5 billion minutes. The tech giant has seen its share of TV viewing increase 62% since July 2021.

Hallmark’s growth was fueled by its annual “Christmas in July” programming on The Hallmark Channel, where new premieres, including the four-part “Unwrapping Christmas” movies and holiday series “Holidazed” and “Christmas at Sea,” resulted in a 19% viewership bump for the network. 

The latest update comes as streaming reached nearly half of total TV viewing for the month at 47.3%. In comparison, Broadcast made up 18% of TV viewing in July, boosted by a 28% increase in news viewing, while cable finished with 22.2% of TV viewing in July following a 11% dip in news and 17% drop in sports viewing.

Mayim Bialik Says Her ‘Blossom’ Reboot Has Been Scrapped by Disney: ‘It Was Not for a Lack of Trying’

Mayim Bialik revealed on Monday that the reboot of her 1990s sitcom “Blossom” she was developing alongside series creator Don Reo is dead, after being rejected by Disney “for no particular reason.”

Bialik announced the potential reboot back in 2023, saying at the time that all of the original cast were on board and a pilot script had been written. Later that year she suggested it also might return with a dramatic reboot instead of as a sitcom.

But in post on her Substack Monday, Bialik explained that Disney, which owns the rights to “Blossom,” said no.

Bialik said at one point last year, Disney seemed ready to move forward with the project. But, due as she put it to “the constant changing of guards in our industry, the mergers, the insincerity and the increasingly extended periods of time it takes to get answers or contracts completed,” things took a turn. At one point, the reboot eventually fell under the purview of new executives, who reversed course.

“For no particular reason, we were told ‘no,’” Bialik says. “We asked for the rights so that we could let the market decide if audiences might want to see these characters all these years later. We were told Disney reserves the rights in case they ever want to do a reboot of Blossom. The reboot we all wanted to do was now, with Don’s script. We will likely never know … why they would not let us bring these beautiful stories to people who love 90s nostalgia and who have a special place in their hearts for Blossom.”

“The sun is gonna surely shine. Maybe not the way [Reo] and I intended, but this door closed. While we didn’t want it to, we are powerless over every aspect of it except what we know to be true: we loved this possibility with all that we have and we are so so sorry we couldn’t get it to happen,” Bialik also said.

The actress did however hint that she hopes things might be reversed in the future, writing in part, I hope there will be more to this story someday,” she writes. “But for now, the Gd’s honest truth is this project is the role I want to play more than any other.”

“Since this all fell apart, my desire to continue to pursue on-camera roles has waned,” Bialik added.

Disney has not commented publicly on her account of the matter. Read her whole post here.

Katie Couric Calls Trump’s Kennedy Center ‘a Disgrace,’ Director Responds That She’s ‘Mad Everyone Is Welcome’

Katie Couric and the director of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing arts traded barbs on Saturday, and then again on Monday, after Couric called the center’s new Donald Trump-mandated direction is “a disgrace.”

It began on Saturday when, in the comments of a Kennedy Center Instagram post about an Opera performance that night, Couric wrote, “This is so sad. I grew up going to the Kennedy Center which was about 20 minutes from our house in Arlington. What they’ve done to it is a disgrace.”

Her comment received 44 replies, many of which came from angry fans of Trump — among them the current director of the Kennedy Center himself, Richard Grenell. Trump’s so-called “Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions” replied, “we didn’t cancel a single show. Your team couldn’t perform for Republicans. They cancelled. It is this exact intolerance that we fight against. Everyone is welcome to the Kennedy Center….even you!”

That was where things lay, until Monday morning that is, when the Daily Beast published a story about it, headlined “Katie Couric starts bizarre fight with opera after DC’s Kennedy Center was taken over by MAGA.”

Shortly after, the Kennedy Center’s Instagram account posted a screenshot of the story and shared a link. Accompanying these were restatement of what Grenell said two days earlier and a belittling honorific: “The Kennedy Center is for EVERYONE. That includes Mrs. Couric.”

Couric’ responded laconically, commenting, ‘s laconic response: “This is hilarious. And it’s Ms. Couric to you.”

Interestingly, the majority of replies this time came from people criticizing (or mocking) the Kennedy Center’s social media team for posting about the Daily Mail’s article in the first place. That may be why when Grenell posted about the article himself, he did so over on X, where he declared “@katiecouric is so mad that everyone is welcome at the @kencen. @DailyMail.”

Grenell’s X post does not however appear to have sparked a larger backlash, for now at least. As of this writing it has received only 139 replies.

‘Love Island USA’ Season 7 Reunion: 10 Most Shocking Moments

It’s that time again. “Love Island USA” Season 7 returned for its long-awaited reunion, rehashing the season’s most dramatic moments and giving updates on which couples stayed together and which friendships lasted.

While Ariana Madix hosted solo last year, this time around she was joined by Bravo extraordinaire Andy Cohen, who was certainly up for the task of pressing the cast on their biggest controversies and fallouts, from Huda Mustafa’s racy heart rate challenge to the podcast interviews that pissed them off the most after they left the villa.

See the 10 most shocking moments of the reunion below:

Huda says she can’t speak about her current relationship for legal reasons

When asked about her current relationship status — fueled by photos of her with “Too Hot to Handle” alum Louis Russell — Mustafa said repeatedly she was not at liberty to speak about it due to legal reasons. When pressed, Mustafa said the legal reasons are from Netflix, but would not speak further about it.

At the time the reunion’s filming, Netflix was rolling out “Perfect Match” Season 3, which Russell starred in and dated other women, and Sandy Gallagher called out Russell for ruining the end of “Perfect Match” for viewers.

Nic calls out Cierra’s social media videos

While Cierra Ortega was not present at the reunion, the hosts asked Nic Vansteenberghe about his feelings about her after leaving the villa. Vansteenberghe said he had initially wanted to speak to her after leaving the show, but his ‘tude quickly changed when he saw the videos she was posted on social media, in which he said she “prioritized attention.”

Taylor apologizes to Olandria

Taylor Williams took a moment in the reunion in front of everyone to apologize to Olandria Carthen for not being honest with her, and all seems well between both couples.

Coco’s dramatic moment with Olandria — and Chelley

When asked about her remarks on a recent podcast about Carthen being “standoffish,” Coco Watson doubled down on her statement. While Carthen agreed she didn’t speak much to the Casa girls, she did take issue with how Watson described her on the podcast. It was revealed that while all of the cast was out the prior night, Carthen passed on a chance to talk to Watson. Eventually, Chelley Bissainthe stepped in, and Carthen and Bissainthe called out Watson, Vanna Einerson and Mustafa for creating a narrative that they were bullies.

Bryan accuses Zak of being in it for the money

Winner Bryan Arenales stood on his previous comments about Zak Srakaew: That he was in the show for the money. Arenales said Srakaew had a conversation with the boys strategizing the game, while Arenales said he encouraged them to “go off your feelings,” and Amaya Espinal added that Srakaew’s timing of chats felt “performative.”

Austin’s strange moment of distress when asked about Jaden

When Austin Shepard was asked whether he and Jaden Duggar continued their relationship outside of the villa, Shepard froze and was unable to get a comprehensible sentence out. Duggar revealed that she sent a message to Shepard asking for him to be transparent about his dating life, and Shepard said he did see it, though it was unclear whether he responded to the message. Either way, Duggar said he treated her disrespectfully when she learned at a party from other people that he had gone on a date, and Shepard then lied about it to her.

The reunion rolled back the tapes on the conversation that led to Hannah Fields’ dumping, which showed Bissainthe saying the group shouldn’t go off of the strength of conversations and making a case to send Fields home by pointing out how Fields connected “instantly” with both Charlie Georgiou and Pepe Gonzalez. After Bissainthe made her case, all four women voted to boot off Fields.

Ace beefs with the boys and Amaya

Ace had plenty to address with his fellow islanders during the reunion. He and Jeremiah addressed tension about Jeremiah claiming that his co-star had pushed the other men in the cast to vote him out when he was eliminated. Unedited footage from the deliberation proved that he wasn’t a “ringleader” as Jeremiah had been claimed, and the conversation ended with an apology.

He admitted to being hurt by his fellow islanders’ comments in podcasts about him, including Amaya making a joke about his height on a clip in the Call Her Dady podcast that went viral, which Amaya said her team had tried to take down. The conversation showed plenty of tension between Ace and Austin as well, though that part was not addressed further.

Olandria says Huda didn’t shut down racism

After getting out of the villa and seeing racist comments from Mustafa’s fans, Carthen said she and Mustafa discussed Mustafa making a post shutting down the racist remarks, but that separate post never came. “You kinda just got into the real world and kinda fell into that narrative and fed it,” Carthen said, explaining that’s why she unfollowed Mustafa and they have not spoken.

The person screaming over Olandria’s controversial voiceover is revealed

At the end of the show, Ariana cleared up a viral moment from the show that fans thought captured Cierra screaming about being asked to leave the show. The moment happened as Olandria recorded an interview and discussed a conversation with Zack. The screams could be heard interrupted what she said, but it wasn’t Cierra at all.

The footage showed that cameras actually captured Huda singing in the women’s dressing room to “Who Says” by Selena Gomez. No drama there!

‘The Waterfront’ Canceled on Netflix After One Season

“The Waterfront” won’t be back for a second season on Netflix.

The hit drama created by Kevin Williamson has been canceled despite a very strong showing when it launched in June, TheWrap has learned.

“The Waterfront” debuted at#1 on Nielsen’s streaming chart back in June. It also spent 5 weeks on Netflix’s global English language top 10 and hit #1 there three times. It scored 8.3 million views in first four days on Netflix, numbers comparable to “Ransom Canyon,” which was renewed in June; notably, “Ransom Canyon” never topped the English language top 10.

But Netflix is known for making renewal decisions based on factors other than viewership, including costs vs. viewership; according to Deadline, which first reported the cancelation, Netflix decision makers didn’t feel the show’s completion rate was high enough to warrant renewal.

The eight-episode drama followed the Buckley family, who see their business empire crumble in a fictional North Carolina town, leading them to turn to criminal activity to stay afloat. It was a homecoming of sorts for Williamson, who is from the state and early in his career filmed the YA drama “Dawson’s Creek” there.

The series starred Holt McCallany, Melissa Benoist, Jake Weary, Rafael L. Silva, Humberly González, Danielle Campbell, Brady Hepner and Maria Bello.

Conan O’Brien Remembers an ‘SNL’ Costume Designer Scheming for Lorne Michaels to Fire Him | Video

Conan O’Brien might be known today as one of Hollywood’s most beloved comedians — just ask anyone who tuned in to his Oscars hosting gig. But according to the ex-late-night host and his former “Saturday Night Live” colleague, the equally beloved comedy creator and showrunner Greg Daniels, they both had a tendency to “ignorantly step on toes” early in their careers.

In one memorable instance, an “SNL” colleague even tried to get them fired.

“I was just remembering the bit where we got into our first kind of argument with the costume designer,” Daniels said on Monday’s “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast. “They went to Lorne and they said, ‘You need to fire these two or I’m leaving.’ And Lorne was like, ‘This is my costume designer. She’s terrific and got all these awards and everything.’ So he called us into his office and we were a little nervous.”

O’Brien admitted that he thought Michaels was going to pull the pink slip on behalf of the the disgruntled designer. Fortunately, Michaels found a way to appease both parties: O’Brien and Daniels got a talking-to to save face with the designer, and the two comedy writers got to keep their jobs.

“He sat down and we just had this conversation. He said, you gotta stay in here about 20 minutes so she thinks I’m yelling at you,” Daniels recalled. “It was terrific.”

“He was great,” O’Brien agreed. “He was like, ‘I have to be here for 20 minutes and you’re in here too. And just so you know, I’m yelling at you right now.’ But he wasn’t. And we didn’t get into a fight.”

Watch the interview below:

O’Brien then revealed the cause of the designer’s ire, explaining that they apparently ticked off the wrong person when they went to the costuming department to check on materials for a sketch that required elaborate looks.

“To be fair, all we did was we wrote a sketch and it had these elaborate costumes. And we went to the place where they were manufacturing them just to check on them because we thought that’s what a good writer-producer does is check on things,” O’Brien said. “And that, apparently, was us overstepping our bounds, which, OK, I didn’t know! We didn’t know that, we were brand new. So yeah, I don’t remember us — we never got into fights with people or yelled at people.”

“No, no, no, no,” Daniels agreed, quipping: “We just ignorantly step on toes.” Daniels later added that “we were pretty nice people,” but admitted to having “bad instincts for Hollywood” that over the years almost cost them a lucrative script rewrite opportunity and more.

Daniels’ latest project, “The Office” spinoff “The Paper,” premieres in full on Peacock Sept. 4. He and O’Brien worked together at “SNL” 1988-1990. Watch their full “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” interview in the video above.

Dwayne Johnson Says He Was ‘Too Scared’ to Explore Dramatic Roles – Until ‘The Smashing Machine’

After years fitting into the action star mold, Dwayne Johnson will soon take on the challenge of being a dramatic leading man in “The Smashing Machine.” In fact, Johnson said the role reintroduced him to a new feeling: fear.

“It was very real. I had not experienced that in a very, very, very long time, where I was really scared and thinking, ‘I don’t know if I can do this. Can I do this?’” Johnson told Vanity Fair in a Monday feature. “I realized that maybe these opportunities weren’t coming my way because I was too scared to explore this stuff.”

In “The Smashing Machine,” Johnson takes on the part of real-life UFC champion Mark Kerr — a role not entirely outside the comfort zone of the WWE legend. The film is written and directed by Benny Safdie, one half of the brotherly duo behind the films “Good Time” and “Uncut Gems.” This will be Benny’s first solo feature, releasing within months of Josh’s “Marty Supreme.”

Johnson dove into the transformative part, which many have labeled as an awards hopeful. This included spending hours every day in the makeup chair.

“I just sat in front of that mirror for three to four hours and watched it all change. There were about 13 or 14 different prosthetics. Subtle, yet I think very impactful,” Johnson said. “By the time I got to set, I was Mark Kerr and I felt it, from how he walked to how he talked and how he looked at life.”

It doesn’t seem that Johnson will be shying back away from these heavy roles any time soon. In June, it was reported that the actor would star in Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming film “Breakthrough” for A24.

“The Smashing Machine” shares a name with a 2002 HBO documentary about Kerr’s life and career, also titled “The Smashing Machine: The Life and Times of Extreme Fighter Mark Kerr.” In the film, Johnson is joined by Emily Blunt, who plays Kerr’s then-wife Dawn Staples.

““If Emily and I weren’t best friends, I don’t know that we could’ve gone to the places we went to,” Johnson told Vanity Fair. “That closeness created the trust, which then allowed for the vulnerability, which then allowed for (us to) go anywhere.”

Blunt was similarly praiseful of her co-star, saying he disappeared into the role.

“It seemed to be an effortless immersion—like a full disappearance, spooky. From day one, he was elsewhere,” Blunt told Vanity Fair. “He has absorbed and borne witness to so much of what Mark has experienced that it was such a beautiful thing to watch this person let go of having to be an image, of having to be The Rock, and crack himself in half for this role.”

“The Smashing Machine” will premiere at Venice International Film Festival in competition on Sept. 1. A24 will distribute the film in theaters starting Oct. 3.

Frank Price, Columbia and Universal Studio Chief, Dies at 95

Frank Price, a writer-producer who made the rare leap to studio executive and became the head of Universal and Columbia Pictures, has died at the age of 95, according to his son and former Amazon Studios head Roy Price.

Price’s four-decade rise from CBS story editor to the head of Universal Television and later Columbia has left an immeasurable impact on Hollywood, from helping to pioneer formats like miniseries and made-for-TV movies to overseeing the release of Best Picture Oscar winners like “Out of Africa” and “Gandhi” and some of the biggest zeitgeist-defining films of the 80s like “Ghostbusters” and “The Karate Kid.

“My father, Frank Price, passed away peacefully in his sleep this morning at 95. He lived a full life and we will miss him deeply,” Roy Price wrote.

Born in Illinois, Price got his first taste of Hollywood hanging around the Warner Bros. lot as a kid while his mother worked in the studio commissary. There, he met the likes of Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney and Olivia de Havilland.

In 1951 at the age of 21, he got his start as a story editor for CBS before moving to Columbia Pictures two years later. After bouncing around writers’ rooms through the 1950s, his career reached the next level when he joined Universal Television in 1959 and was taken under the wing of the studio’s two legendary leaders, Lew Wasserman and Sidney Sheinberg.

Under their mentorship, Price made the jump from writer to exec in 1961 as vice president of Universal TV. While there, he learned much of the business side of Hollywood by serving as an executive producer on “The Virginian,” the first 90-minute TV western, which ran from 1962 to 1970.

Along with working on “The Virginian,” Price helped pioneer the made-for-TV movie with “The Doomsday Flight” in 1966, written by “The Twilight Zone” creator Rod Serling. The film, starring Jack Lord, centers around a commercial airplane held hostage by a mysterious figure who demands a ransom after he plants a bomb on the plane that will detonate if the plane flies below 4,000 feet.

Price’s work led him to be promoted to the head of Universal Television in 1971, where he remained until he made the flip to film by moving to Columbia Pictures in 1978. His TV career ended with a wide array of hit series under his belt, including “Kojak,” “Columbo” and the original “Battlestar Galactica.”

During his first tenure at Columbia from 1978 to 1983, Price oversaw the release of the Best Picture Oscar winner “Kramer vs. Kramer” and “Gandhi,” as well as the nominated “Tootsie.”

But one of Price’s biggest moves as an executive came in the final months of his tenure: taking a risk on Ivan Reitman’s “Ghostbusters.” At the time, comedies were seen as struggling at the box office, and a supernatural comedy that would require at least $25 million to produce — around $81 million in today’s money — was seen as a huge risk.

Against the wishes of Columbia CEO Fay Vincent, Price greenlit “Ghostbusters.” After a power struggle with Vincent over the future of Columbia, Price left the studio in October 1983, just weeks before “Ghostbusters” started shooting. Eight months later, the film was released and became the second highest grossing film of 1984 with $295 million grossed, equivalent to $916 million today.

On the flipside, there was another classic film that Price let get away: Steven Spielberg’s “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial.” After the success of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” Spielberg developed another alien film called “Night Skies” around a film in which an alien befriends an autistic child.

While Columbia put $1 million into the development of “Night Skies,” Price, at the advice of his subordinates, decided that the film would not appeal to a wide audience and put the project in turnaround. Spielberg then brought it to Price’s former mentor, Sid Sheinberg, who had become the president of Universal’s parent company MCA, and convinced him to buy the “E.T.” script from Columbia. Universal greenlit the film, and “E.T.” became the highest grossing film of all time, holding the record until another Spielberg hit, “Jurassic Park,” took it in 1993.

After leaving Columbia in 1983, Price served for four years as the chairman of MCA. There, Price oversaw the development of his third Best Picture winner “Out of Africa” in 1985 as well as the smash hit “Back to the Future,” whose script had been rejected repeatedly by other studios and execs.

But Price’s time there came to an abrupt end after the infamous box office bomb “Howard the Duck,” based on the satirical Marvel character. Three years later, Columbia Pictures, now under the ownership of Sony, invited Price to come back, where he greenlit “Boyz ‘n the Hood,” which led to director John Singleton to become the first Black filmmaker to be nominated for the Best Director Oscar and the youngest ever to do so.

In a 1994 interview with the Los Angeles Times as the head of his own independent production company Price Entertainment, Price said that being a studio executive was the best job in the world.

“Anyone who complains about the stresses is a fool. The pay and the perks are good. You have fun lunches with [Barbra] Streisand and [Robert] Redford. And it’s sort of like being head of a small country. Though I rarely used the plane, I was met at the airport and commanded a certain amount of deference. Things go your way–period,” he said.

“Though there was certainly some ego-stroking, the best part of the job was the ability to buy the best–directors, scripts, talent,” he added. “The worst was spending your day saying ‘no’–telling people you don’t share their dreams. You’re making subjective decisions in a very amorphous realm . . . and have to wait 18 to 24 months before you know if you guessed right.”

Price is survived by his sons, Roy, David and Will, and 14 grandchildren.
