Lil Durk is going free. The “All My Life” rapper was found not guilty of all charges in a murder-for-hire trial on Sept. 11, with a Los Angeles jury determining that the 33-year-old was not responsible for the fatal shooting of Saviay’a Robinson in 2022. Durk (real name Durk Banks) had pled not guilty to five charges in the case, including stalking and orchestrating a murder-for-hire. Prosecutors accused Durk of being “consumed with revenge” over the death of his friend King Von (real name Dayvon Bennett), who was fatally shot in Atlanta in 2020 following a fight with associates of…
Kyle Chandler, who first rose to fame with the 1996 CBS series Early Edition, is capturing viewer attention again with his unconventional turn as Hal Jordan in Lanterns. But it’s not his first foray into the sci-fi genre, with a prominent role in the MonsterVerse franchise as Mark Russell in Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs. Kong, and a far, far less prominent one in the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. Most notably, three years after the latter (and 15 years before Lanterns), Chandler starred in Super 8, an underappreciated, Spielbergian sci-fi masterpiece that sees…
Picture Credit: Netflix It’s the end of the road for Staten and Quinn. Netflix has officially decided not to move forward with a third season of its romantic drama Ransom Canyon, bringing the Jodi Thomas adaptation to a close after two seasons. As first broken by Deadline, Netflix has opted to cancel the Texas-set romance starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly just a month and a half after its sophomore season dropped on July 23, 2026. For close readers of What’s on Netflix, the writing has unfortunately been on the wall for a little while now, and despite a last-minute…

Netflix’s Crew Girl premiered today, and it made waves as the first young adult series to feature rowing. It features everything you’d want in a young adult sports drama: messy team dynamics, an angsty love triangle, and a coach who actually cares about his team. I watch several sports dramas, and while some coaches are talented, few genuinely care about their players’ well-being. I can only think of Coach Taylor from Friday Night Lights or Coach Baker from All American.Coach Hayden (Thomas Cadrot) was different, too. He wanted to win a championship, partly because his job was on the line,…
It’s been one year and six days since Obsession premiered at the 50th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival in 2025, but for the film’s director, Curry Barker, and its Oscar-contending star, Inde Navarrette, that year has marked some earth-shattering changes. “It’s insane,” Barker said in front of a sold-out crowd at this year’s festival ahead of a victory lap anniversary screening of Obsession. “Even the plane ride here was different. I’m looking at the same buildings, but I’m not in the same hotel.” “We shared a room at TIFF the first time around,” Navarrette added later. That’s certainly…

Sebastian Stan has been running around the city of Toronto. We’re sitting in a restaurant, having lunch between his multiple studio visits for various publications. It’s busy and bustling around us, the way TIFF tends to transform every hotel and restaurant over its 11-day period. Stan settles in at the table and digs into a chicken salad. He’s here to talk with Variety about the movie he says he’s been chasing, in one form or another, since he was a teenager. “Fjord” is the film Stan long promised himself he would make: a return, however partial, to the country he…
Hallmark Channel The chances of “When Calls the Heart” being your introduction to Jack Wagner — who plays Bill Avery — are slim. Although Wagner has appeared on the Hallmark series since 2014, he’s been entertaining fans for decades, and you’ve probably seen his work. A soap opera veteran, Wagner has enjoyed years-long runs on some of the best soap operas of all time such as “General Hospital,” “Santa Barbara,” and “The Bold and the Beautiful,” where he starred in more than 1,300 episodes over two decades. While the soap legend…
