Photo Credit: Paramount Pictures Actor and producer Channing Tatum stars in Roofman, a film inspired by the story of Jeffrey Manchester, a real-life convicted spree robber. He portrays Manchester and recently spoke about the rare opportunity he got to sit down with the former U.S. Army Reserve soldier as part of his preparation for the role. Channing Tatum on what real Jeffrey Manchester said to him The Magic Mike star, playing Jeffrey Manchester in Roofman, got to speak with the real-life inspiration behind his character. Jeffrey Manchester is currently in prison for his crimes. Along with director Derek Cianfrance, Channing Tatum visited him while preparing to portray him on screen. Recently, the 45-year-old actor told Entertainment Weekly about the conversations he had with Manchester. Tatum mentioned, “Man, we talked about so much,” recalling those discussions. “I think in the beginning, I obviously had lists and lists of questions about the whys and the hows, and did this really happen? Did that really happen?” He then elaborated on how Manchester told him one of the most heartbreaking things. It helped him learn who the latter is as a human. The Blink Twice actor shared, “He’s made some bad decisions, and he’s very, very aware of that and having to pay the price for that. But I asked him, when he gets out, what are you going to do? And it really just punched me in the gut, man. He’s like, ‘I don’t know if they’ll ever let me, because I’m a felon, but I would love to adopt, and I would love to have a second chance of being a father and not screwing it up this time.” “He really knows. He’s like, ‘The thing that I cheated [my kids] out of is just my actual presence in their life. And I just didn’t understand before this, I had to be taught a lesson, and you can’t take those decisions back.’ He’s dealing with those consequences in that reality, and it’s a hard thing to swallow,” Tatum further revealed. Empathizing with the real Roofman, Channing Tatum also expressed how he wished that Jeffrey Manchester got to see the movie. “But, I hope they give him a second chance to at least see the movie and then hopefully it gives a little perspective on him, and why he did what he did, and maybe it shaves some time off his sentence, but who knows?” he stated.

Photo Credit: Marvel Entertainment (via YouTube) Actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II recently shared details about the powers of his character Simon Williams, AKA Wonder Man, in Marvel’s upcoming series. A trailer of Wonder Man was recently shown at the New York Comic-Con, featuring Abdul-Mateen, accompanied by Ben Kingsley. The release date of the show was recently postponed by a month from December 2025 to January 2026. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II on what Wonder Man’s super power is in MCU The Aquaman star had a conversation at the NYCC recently. There, he talked about the powers of his character, Simon Williams, in Wonder Man. While Yahya Abdul-Mateen II didn’t reveal much, he hinted that Williams’ acting skills are his main power. He told Rotten Tomatoes, “I think Simon is, well, Simon is trying to figure out what his powers, you know. Simon has a superpower. Simon would say that his superpower is his craft.” Abdul Mateen added that fans will “get to see how well he manages” being a superhero and an actor in the upcoming series. Furthermore, Marvel Head of TV and Streaming, Brad Winderbaum, sat with Entertainment Weekly and spoke about Wonder Man. Apart from it being a meta show, he also stated, “It’s one of my favorite things. It’s very different than anything the studio’s produced. In terms of how meta it is, without getting into details, it is a show that takes place within the MCU, but it’s a story about Hollywood. And it’s a story about not just Hollywood, I would say it’s a story about acting and the journey of an actor in Hollywood.” Winderbaum also shared his views on Wonder Man being compared to the hit Apple TV+ series The Studio. He stated, “It is very different than The Studio, actually. It’s different tonally. It’s very sincere, and it’s very focused on acting as a craft. The Studio is really more about the big Hollywood system and the machine and the craziness that ensues. This is really a very intimate portrait of one actor trying to live his dreams while the world and the need to make money intervenes.” Originally reported by Ishita Verma on SuperHeroHype.

But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system.

Here are three things we’ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world today: 1. ALCS Game 2: After a solo homer by George Springer in the first inning, Bryce Miller and the Mariners’ bullpen managed to shut down a Blue Jays offense that throttled the Yankees in the division series to take Game 1 of the ALCS 3-1. Seattle will look to build on that lead later today with right-hander Logan Gilbert (3.44 ERA) on the mound, while the Blue Jays will turn to rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage (3.21 ERA) as they look to tie up the series before it heads to Seattle for Game 3. Yesavage is coming off a dominant performance against New York where he struck out 11 in 5 1/3 hitless innings, but Gilbert had a strong showing in the ALDS himself. He struck out seven Tigers across six innings of one-run ball in his lone start in the series before pitching two scoreless innings of relief in Seattle’s marathon Game 5 win over Detroit. The teams are set to face off at 5:03pm local time this evening in Toronto. 2. NLCS Game 1: Just over three hours later, at 7:08pm local time in Milwaukee, the Brewers and Dodgers will kick off Game 1 of the NLCS. Left-hander Blake Snell (2.35 ERA) is slated to take the mound for L.A. He’s already come up with wins for the Dodgers against both the Reds and Phillies this October, combining for 13 innings of two-run ball with 18 strikeouts. Milwaukee, meanwhile, has not announced a starter but plans to go with an opener for the start of the game, with either Quinn Priester (3.32 ERA) or Jose Quintana (3.96 ERA) to follow as a bulk arm. Quintana was the far more effective of the two in the NLDS, as he threw three scoreless frames against Chicago while Priester surrendered four runs and recorded just two outs in his lone appearance. 3. Lukes day-to-day: Turning back to the ALCS, Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes exited yesterday’s game after fouling a ball off of his knee. He was eventually diagnosed as a right knee contusion after x-rays came back negative. It’s a good sign for his availability at some point later in the series, but manager John Schneider told reporters yesterday that it wouldn’t be known if Lukes was available for today’s game. Lukes will be evaluated by the Jays’ medical staff when he arrives at the park today. If he’s unavailable, Davis Schneider or Myles Straw would likely step into the starting lineup in his place.

Image credit: HBO Max The ending of Peacemaker Season 2 not only introduced the Salvation planet to the DCU but also hinted at bigger things to come in James Gunn’s revamped universe. As such, many fans have been wondering how this newly discovered dimension will fit into upcoming DCU projects, especially Man of Tomorrow, as well as which characters will help shape the franchise’s main storyline. While Gunn has chosen to keep most plot details under wraps, he has revealed four characters that will be pivotal to his upcoming slate of films. James Gunn confirms three more DC characters for Salvation after Peacemaker In a recent discussion with Comic Book Resources, the DC Studios co-CEO confirmed that Superman, Lex Luthor, and Rick Flag Sr. will play significant roles in the DCU’s Salvation storyline. In a separate social media interaction, Gunn also highlighted Peacemaker’s involvement in the arc. Talking about his near-future plans for the DCU, Gunn stated, “There’s a bigger story being told that involves, say, Salvation. And so that story – it involves Rick Flag. It involves Lex and Superman. There are those movies that I’m going to be directing. That’s the plan right now, at least.” Meanwhile, he also confirmed the role of John Cena’s Peacemaker in the Salvation arc while answering a fan query on Threads. While replying to a question about Chris Smith’s DCU future, Gunn simply noted, “ofc. He’s instrumental.” In the concluding moments of Peacemaker Season 2, Cena’s titular anti-hero ends up getting stranded on planet Salvation at Rick Flag Sr.’s behest. Notably, in the pages of DC Comics, planet Salvation serves as a glorified prison for a horde of menacing supervillains. Explaining how Rick Flag Sr. leaving Peacemaker on Salvation helps set up upcoming DCU projects, including 2027’s Man of Tomorrow, on Threads, Gunn posted, “Where Chris is at the end, what is happening between the government and the metahumans, Rick and Lex’s new partnership, and all of their decision to do what they did is all a part of the future, MoT, and more.” As such, fans can expect to see more of Superman, Lex Luthor, Peacemaker, and Rick Flag Sr. in the next two years. The Supergirl movie starring Milly Alcock is the next theatrical entry in Gunn’s DCU and will come out on June 26, 2026. Meanwhile, Man of Tomorrow is currently on track to premiere on July 9, 2027.

Photo by Santiago Felipe/Getty Images Elliot Page recently discussed what it was like working with Christopher Nolan again on the filmmaker’s upcoming epic The Odyssey. The two previously worked together on the 2010 sci-fi action heist feature Inception in one of the film’s most prominent supporting roles. The Odyssey star Elliot Page on collaborating with Christopher Nolan again Page made an appearance at the X-Men: Days of Future Past panel at the 2025 New York Comic Con and reflected on reuniting with director Christopher Nolan after roughly 15 years. “I loved working with him on Inception and loved being a part of that movie,” Page said. “I was just completely jazzed and excited, and [I] basically went and met with Chris and talked about the part, then sat in a room and read the script. It was such a joy to come back.” (via Variety) Page, who transitioned in 2020, underscored what made The Odyssey a “more enjoyable” experience. “To come back now, as you can imagine, being more comfortable in yourself makes these sorts of projects more enjoyable,” Page elaborated. “To get to have a Chris Nolan experience again now meant so much to me selfishly.” Besides directing, Nolan developed the screenplay for the movie as an adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic of the same name. Page’s character in the movie remains under wraps. However, it has been revealed that the film’s cast also includes Matt Damon as Odysseus and Tom Holland as Telemachus, alongside Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, John Leguizamo, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, and Himesh Patel. According to the official logline, the movie follows Odysseus as he “embarks on a long and perilous journey home following the Trojan War, chronicling his encounters with mythical beings such as the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the witch-goddess Circe.” The production for The Odyssey took place between early and mid-2025 and spanned across multiple continents. The movie debuts in theaters in IMAX and other formats on July 17, 2026.

Photo Credit: Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Sarah Michelle Gellar paid a heartfelt tribute to her former co-star, Michelle Trachtenberg. Trachtenberg was found dead in her apartment in February 2025. However, Gellar posted this emotional message on October 11, which would’ve marked the late actress’ 40th birthday. Sarah Michelle Gellar remembers ‘little sister’ Michelle Trachtenberg on 40th birthday On October 11, Sarah Michelle Gellar, known for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, took to her Instagram account to post an emotional tribute in honor of the late actress Michelle Trachtenberg. In the post, Gellar uploaded a small clip of her character, Buffy Summers, and Trachtenberg’s, Dawn Summers, hugging each other. In the background, the video played Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa’s song, “See You Again.” The video was also accompanied by a message. The caption read, “When you turned 16, it was hard not to still see you as the little girl I met on All My Children. When you turned 21, I had to teach myself to not see you as the little sister anymore. I can’t imagine what 40 would have been like. This I know… it would be filled with love. Happy birthday @michelletrachtenberg” The post has since gone viral and garnered sincere responses from fans and co-stars, all adding to the tribute. This comes months after Trachtenberg was found dead in her New York City apartment on February 26, 2025. Following weeks of laboratory tests, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York revealed that the actress had died due to complications of diabetes mellitus. Michelle Trachtenberg’s Dawn Summers first appeared on Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 2000 as Buffy’s younger sister. She continued to play the role until the show ended in 2003. Outside of the show, Trachtenberg has also been part of movies like Euro Trip, Gossip Girl, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Ice Princess, and 17 Again, among many others.

From Batman to Judge Dredd, and from page to screen, Jock’s work is instantly recognisable – this book collects sketches, layouts, and unlettered artwork from the highly influential artist, in-demand film poster artist, and one of the most respected comic creators working in the medium. This stunning hardcover coffee table book illustrates his processes across sequential and concept art, including his character designs for the 2012 movie, DREDD. From his earliest work to his latest 2000 AD covers, this book showcases the artistic evolution of one of the modern masters of comic art. If you ever have wanted to learn more about comics and their creators, you’ve come to the right place. More and more books are being published focusing on the history of comics, history of curators, and academic analyses of what comics means. Comic books and their history have become more accepted as an area in recent years with some universities and schools offering minors and majors in the topic. That’s pretty amazing considering people had been proclaiming the end of the comic book industry in the 1970s! My only caveat was that it was hard to find a lot of comics about non-English countries that were written by the people from those countries or their diaspora. This may be a question of whether those books exist in those countries in those languages but have not been translated into English; I just don’t know. So here’s a list of books that look behind the scenes in the world of comics. Some explore the art and the design behind them while others look more critically at the history of the medium and their creators. All-Negro Comics: America’s First Black Comic Book by Chris Robinson and Orrin C. Evans and others (Image Comics, November 4, 2025) I am particularly fond of comics that reprint and refresh our memories about comic books in the 20th century. This one book reprints 1947 All-Negro Comics #1, which is described as the “first comic book anthology of original Black characters created by Black talent,” led by Orrin C. Evans. In addition to the reprint, the book includes essays about the importance of the comic book and its creators. It also includes current Black comic book writers/artists creating new stories with the characters from the original comic. It’s a great way to honor the importance of the comic and help connect today’s readers to the book.

From Sara Raasch and Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling authors of the Witch and Hunter duology, comes a lush and dazzling new romantasy set in the volatile and glamorous Scottish court, where a fae guardian of the realm falls in love with a charming Elizabethan spy—who could also be the key to her world’s undoing. Using secret codes, hidden messages, and a little bit of magic, both seeking to uncover threats to their own countries, Alyth and Sampson will have to work together to unravel a plot centuries in the making. Perfect for fans of Outlander, Powerless, and My Lady Jane. In 2025, YA romantasy is having a moment. After all, who wouldn’t root for teens empowered to change the magical world around them with a partner to strengthen their fight? Book Riot has covered romantasy extensively since the portmanteau combining “fantasy” and “romance” entered the scene. In truth, much of the momentum behind the genre originated in young adult books, an age category that often combined elements of fantasy and romance to great success. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, and Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas were all wildly popular even before YA romantasy was a semi-official subgenre. I will say, one benefit of 2025 YA romantasy is the increase in diverse options for readers. Although YA, and publishing at large, is still largely white and straight, it is much more common to be able to find YA romantasy books with queer, BIPOC, or disability representation. The genre is the better for it. There are simply so many excellent 2025 YA romantasy books to pick up now and put on your TBR. From debuts to the continuation of series, these young adult authors deliver fantastical worlds and swoony romance. I can guarantee you do not want to miss them. Hit YA Romantasy Between These Broken Hearts by Lexi Ryan *Potential spoiler alert: this is a continuation of a series.* In the conclusion to the These Hollow Vows series, both Jasalyn and Felicity will have to learn how to trust themselves and their partners if they want to dodge their fates.

Although she will have to confront her deepest fears, Jasalyn will have Kendrick by her side, ready to help her slay her darkest demons. Shape-shifter Felicity disappeared from King Misha’s dungeons, but she will need his help if she wants to avoid a destructive prophecy. Fateless by Julie Kagawa Sparrow is determined to prove her place in the Thieves Guild by pulling off an impossible job in the city of the Deathless Kings. When the mysterious request came from the group that controls her guild, Sparrow knew she had to embark on the deadly mission, even if she had to team up with Raithe, a fascinating assassin she knew better than to trust. But if Sparrow, Raithe, and their fellow thieves want to survive their quest, they will have to quickly learn to work as a team if they want to survive the ancient forces that nip at their heels. Carving Shadows into Gold by Brigid Kemmerer *Potential spoiler alert: second in a series* The second book in the Forging Silver into Stars series follows the complicated aftermath of Tycho’s bargain with the magical scraver who saved King Gray. His budding relationship with Jax the blacksmith barely has a chance to develop when Tycho must leave the castle to serve as the King’s Courier.

Callyn has also found herself working for the Queen and hiding her new magic at court.

Watch Me by Tahereh Mafi Ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment, James Anderson is finally old enough to eliminate the island holdout protecting the last of the empire. At least, that’s what he thought. But when James infiltrates the island, he finds himself captured by the government and entangled with the shockingly beautiful assassin, Rosabelle Wolff. Rosa thought she knew what to expect from James, but his easygoing attitude has a randomness that even an advanced computer program couldn’t possibly predict.

There were a few clues: Mira received an odd letter from her mother, found strange tracks on a hike, and was impossibly saved by Julian Santos, a mysterious, cold boy who managed to jump down a cliff to catch her. When the Blood Moon rises, Mira becomes central to an ancient war that has the chance to change the world.

We are living in an era defined by several moral panics happening simultaneously. It’s hard not to when the last decade has been mired by the erosion of trust in facts and history, paired with the ever-increasing amounts of mis- and disinformation being sown about near any and every topic imaginable. That we have lost news and truth through the shrinking of local news, the paywalling of stories that impact people’s everyday lives, and seen both traditional media and social media become tools for partisanship has not helped. These are but some of the many reasons why the 2025 Read Harder challenge included the task of reading a book about a moral panic. It’s important to read about both past moral panics and contemporary moral panics to understand where we are now and where we may be going. But first, what the heck is a moral panic anyway? A moral panic is widespread fear that there is something or someone evil threatening the values, beliefs, and well-being of society. In America, this looks like a marginalized group or belief system earning the blame for shifts away from “traditional” lifestyles or values. “Traditional” is code privilege and most frequently means the white, cishet, able-bodied, and conservative Christian. We see this right now in the moral panic over “inappropriate” books in schools and libraries; we see this right now in the moral panic over there “not being enough babies being born” in the US; we see it right now in the anti-vaccine movement that’s led to growth in measles, a disease that had been eradicated in this country. The “evil” of being people of color and queer people in the first two, with “big pharma” and literal medical experts and scientists being the third. Moral panics fuel political movements, underpin conspiracy theory, and frequently direct policy, creating damage that can last for generations–if the damage can be undone at all. For this task, I’ve pulled together a wide range of books about moral panics. They span history, and while the majority focus on American moral panics, not all of them do. Most of these books are nonfiction, but I’ve included several works of fiction which have their moral panics based in real life. There are both trade books here and heftier academic tomes, so you can pick whatever feels like the right moral panic for your time and energy. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, but most of these books are written by men. This isn’t accidental. Cisgender men are among the most protected from moral panics, and they’re also most likely to have the ability to write about them because of the systems that work in their favor socially, politically, culturally, and in the publishing world more broadly. Rather than create a shorter list to find parity, for the sake of providing a breadth of book options, I’ve elected to keep a longer list and note that we could absolutely benefit from more marginalized perspectives on moral panics. Nonfiction About Moral Panics American Panic: A History of Who Scares Us and Why by Mark Stein If you’re looking for a broad exploration of moral panics throughout America’s history, as well as how those moral panics have helped shape more contemporary panics, this book has you covered. Stein’s book looks at what causes a moral panic to grow in popularity, where and how people become susceptible to one, and how those panics shape policy and politics. This was written in 2014, so it won’t tackle more contemporary topics–including the real issues of mis- and dis- information–but the content should provide a lens through which you can better understand them. Banned Book Club by Hyun Sook Kim and Ryan Estrada, illustrated by Hyung-Ju Ko In 1983, Kim Hyun Sook thought going to college would open up her world–she’d convinced her very traditional mother that studying Western Literature in academia would be good for her (and she herself was grateful to get out of having to work in the family’s restaurant). The problem is that this was during South Korea’s Fifth Republic. It was an era marked by relentless censorship and cruelty inflicted upon the country’s citizens. So when Hyun Sook is invited to take part in a book club at school, she doesn’t expect what this actually would entail–hiding in a dark basement with fellow book lovers in order to read the books deemed illicit by the Regime. This comic explores anti-intellectualism, censorship, and the real consequences of authoritarianism. All Access members: read on for 13 more recommendations! This content is for members only.

Recently, I’ve noticed books that belong in the horror genre keep getting mislabeled as thrillers by readers or even their publishers. Bunny by Mona Awad, for example, is often referred to as a psychological thriller despite the very much not rooted in reality events that happen in the book. Jennifer McMahon’s My Darling Girl is another book that’s often called a thriller despite the demonic possession storyline, once again, skewing it toward the creeping dread and possession elements that I’d argue live in the horror genre. And this is only to name a couple! There seems to be a tendency for readers to mislabel women-written horror novels as thrillers. But why? While, spoiler alert, there’s no clear-cut answer, let’s take a look at some possibilities of what’s at play here. The Thin Line Between Horror and Thriller The horror and thriller genres are closely intertwined, with often no clear-cut way to decide which bucket a book falls into. Both genres are categorized in large part by the feelings they invoke in the reader rather than one specific element to point to. And, well, every reader is different, so what’s horrifying to one might be just a low-level thriller to another. Both genres are mood-based, using setting, character, and plot to create a sense of foreboding or dread in their audience. Some signs do point one way or another, like the paranormal or ghostly elements that make something horror, or the way thrillers are often firmly based in the real world.

A memorable opening line grabs a reader’s attention immediately. Children’s authors have even less room to make a great impression than authors of fiction for adults. In a short book for audiences with less reading and life experience, every word counts. These lines introduce the books’ characters, settings, and themes. Often, the themes include family, culture, and identity. They set the story’s tone and hint at characters’ personalities and relationships. A book may be a child’s first introduction to a topic or genre. Opening lines that might seem ordinary or even cliché in fiction for adults can be funny, fresh, and inventive in fiction for kids. Kidlit has more variety in general and room to be playful. Despite the books’ emotional impact, our memories of childhood classics may be vague. You might not even remember the exact titles. For example, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is more frequently called Alice in Wonderland. In this quiz, there’s no need to type the titles. Just think of the answers, then scroll down to check, or skip to the end. These books may be your old favorites, or your kids’ or students’ current favorites. This quiz may jog your memory or surprise you. Either way, have fun! Opening Lines: “The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home.” “Where’s Papa going with that ax?” said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast. “My name is Zuri, and I have hair that has a mind of its own.” “The only person left alive on the island was a baby girl.” “Little Man, would you come on? You keep it up and you’re gonna make us late.” “Eh, Tree-ear! Have you hungered well today?” “All children, except one, grow up.” “It was a dark and stormy night.” “That fool of a fairy Lucinda did not intend to lay a curse on me.” “Our story begins on the ocean, with wind and rain and thunder and lightning and waves.” Ready for the Answers? The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame “The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home.” Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White “Where’s Papa going with that ax?” said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast. Hair Love by Matthew A. Cherry, illustrated by Vashti Harrison “My name is Zuri, and I have hair that has a mind of its own.” The Birchbark House by Louise Erdrich “The only person left alive on the island was a baby girl.” Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor “Little Man, would you come on? You keep it up and you’re gonna make us late.” A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park “Eh, Tree-ear! Have you hungered well today?” Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie (also published as Peter and Wendy) “All children, except one, grow up.” A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle “It was a dark and stormy night.” This line was parodied for over a century before L’Engle revived it. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine That fool of a fairy Lucinda did not intend to lay a curse on me. The Wild Robot by Peter Brown Our story begins on the ocean, with wind and rain and thunder and lightning and waves. A Few More Quizzes to Try: Match the blurb to the book.

Who doesn’t love a sincere curmudgeon? In these grumpy/grumpy romances, we have not one but two cranky, love-sick fools ready for their happily ever after. Much like grumpy/sunshine or black/cat golden retriever romances, grumpy/grumpy romance trope describes the characters’ dynamic and public persona in a romance. In this case, both characters in the relationship are certified grumps. More birds of a feather than opposites attract, grumpy/grumpy romances prove that sometimes similar personalities create the strongest partnerships. I always love a good grumpy personality with all its high emotional walls, directness, and a heartfelt resting “no thank you.” Plus, a grumpy/grumpy romance explores the origins of the protective instinct to default to grouchiness. It’s a fun, emotional bonding moment, and I, for one, will never turn down a good opportunity to witness that empathetic magic in the making. When it came to collecting my favorite grumpy/grumpy romances, I gathered a wide range of romances with the iconic trope. I hope you have fun with this group of ill-tempered lovers. The Most Lovable Grumps All Access members, read on for eight recommendations of grumpy/grumpy romance novels. This content is for members only. Visit the site and log in/register to read. These grumpy/grumpy romances are wonderfully sincere because characters with grumpy exteriors and gooey interiors are so easy to love.

Photo Credit: BET+ The Zatima Season 4 Part 2 release date is highly anticipated following the conclusion of Part 1. The first part premiered on September 11, 2025, and ran until October 9, 2025. Created by Tyler Perry, this comedy-drama follows the relationship between Zac and Fatima. The pair deeply loves each other and takes steps to deepen their bond. However, new relationships and past deeds test their efforts. So, what is the release date of Zatima Season 4 Part 2? Here’s what we have gathered on the subject. What is the Zatima Season 4 Part 2 release date estimate? Zatima Season 4 Part 2’s release date will likely fall during the December 2025 to early 2026 timeframe. This is based on the pattern followed by the previous seasons. Since Season 2, Zatima has followed a release pattern in which the episodes were split into two parts. Season 2 Part 1 premiered on March 16, 2023, and ran until April 13, followed by Season 2 Part 2, which ran from August 24, 2023, to September 28, 2023. Season 3 Part 1 launched on October 3, 2024, running until October 31, followed by Season 3 Part 2, which released from December 26, 2024, to January 23, 2025. Thus, if Season 4 Part 2 follows a similar pattern, its anticipated December 2025 to early 2026 release timeframe becomes even more likely. Zatima Season 4 Part 2 news and updates Recently, the two main leads of Zatima, Crystal Hayslett and Devale Ellis, gave an interview with Revolt. In it, the pair discussed the show and their respective careers. During the discussion, Hayslett explained why fans loved Zatima so much and why they resonated with it compared to other shows exploring modern relationships. “I think honestly, it’s us living out our flaws and faults in front of everyone,” Hayslett shared. “We’re not giving you the perfect fairytale love story, you know? And I fell victim to that by watching TV.” She continued, “And I fell victim to that by watching TV. I’m like, ‘I want that kind of love.’ That ain’t real. You know? So, I think that we are actually showing what it looks like to grow as couples, grow individually, and then also start to communicate and be able to build a family on a solid foundation.” The Zatima Season 4 Part 2 expected cast includes Hayslett, Ellis, Nzinga Imani, Jasmin Brown, and Remington Hoffman. The synopsis for Zatima is as follows: “Zac and Fatima take a huge step to strengthen their bond, but new friends and past actions interfere with their blossoming relationship.” The post Zatima Season 4 Part 2 Release Date Estimate, News & Updates appeared first on ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.
