Jake Gyllenhaal is Caught in a Deadly Affair in “Presumed Innocent” Trailer

Jake Gyllenhaal is in some serious trouble in the first trailer for Apple TV+’s new limited series Presumed Innocent. 

Gyllenhaal stars as Rusty Sabich, a chief deputy prosecutor in Chicago’s Prosecuting Attorney’s office who has all the trappings of a successful, highly well-adjusted life: an important job, a loving wife, Barbara (played by Ruth Negga), and a family. But Sabich finds himself irresistibly drawn to his colleague, Carolyn (Renate Reinsve). The trailer sets the stage for what happens next—once Rusty and Carolyn begin an affair,

Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day Appear at “The Fall Guy” Premiere as Beavis and Butt-Head

When Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day played Beavis and Butt-Head in an SNL sketch this past April 13 during Gosling’s episode, the effect was so sublimely absurd that SNL star Heidi Gardner broke character and lost it. Gardner played a NewsNation anchor hosting a very serious discussion about the perils of AI, but then she notices two audience members who appear to be the flesh-and-blood incarnations of the iconic animated characters from the 1990s.

Carrie Coon Confirms “The White Lotus” Season 3 is About Death

Mike White’s The White Lotus season 3 will once again skewer the clueless rich as the first two seasons did with such gleeful precision, but it’s being built around a single theme just as seasons one and two did. This isn’t just pure speculation; it comes from season 3 cast member Carrie Coon, who will be one of the tourists idling away at the White Lotus in Thailand.

White’s anthology series has depicted both the staff and the guests of the titular White Lotus resort—Hawaii in season 1 and Sicily in season 2—with most of the guests falling somewhere on the Extreme Bozo end of the rich and entitled spectrum.

Spoiler Alert: The following article contains spoilers for Challengers.

Back in 2018, playwright and author Justin Kuritzkes was obsessively consuming the world of elite tennis. As the first-time screenwriter conveyed to The Credits, it was better than anything in theaters or on the small screen — tennis was really just that good.
