(Photo by Arturo Holmes/WireImage) Jeremy Strong is starring in a new Paramount+ show about 9/11 first responders. Strong is best known for playing Kendall Roy in HBO’s Succession. That role won him an Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Emmy Award in 2020, while he was also nominated for the same accolade two other times. He was also recently nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his portrayal of Roy Cohn in 2024’s The Apprentice. What is Jeremy Strong’s 9/11 TV show about? Per The Hollywood Reporter, Jeremy Strong has now been tapped to star in 9/12, a six-episode limited series that is written, directed, and executive produced by Tobias Lindholm. The show is about “a landmark David vs. Goliath legal struggle that first responders to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack faced before eventually winning compensation.” In addition to playing class-action lawyer Jason Smith, Strong will also executive produce the series, which will begin production in 2026. Frank Pugliese also serves as a writer and executive producer. “Though rooted in the unprecedented attacks of September 11, 2001, 9/12 speaks to struggles that reach far beyond that day. It asks what happens when those who risked everything are abandoned by the very institutions meant to protect them. The series is a testament to human strength and perseverance in the face of unthinkable adversity — the very tension that compelled me to tell this story,” Lindholm said. Strong said, “The great American historian David Halberstam once wrote about Sept. 11, 2001, ‘On a day when the worst of mankind showed itself, the best of mankind answered.’ 9/12 is about the best of us — our first responders whose official response time on 9/11 was five seconds. It is about a moment of unity and togetherness in this divided country, when, amidst the wreckage, we rebuilt and rose again from the rubble.” 9/12 will be released on Paramount+ in 2027.

Photo Credit: HBO Max The first trailer for the new Game of Thrones spin-off show, titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has been released. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is the forthcoming six-episode Game of Thrones spin-off show that premieres on HBO Max next year. Created by Ira Parker and George R. R. Martin, the series is an adaptation of the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas. Check out the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms trailer below (watch more trailers and clips): What do we know about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms stars Peter Claffey as Sir Duncan the Tall/Dunk, Dexter Sol Ansell as Prince Aegon Targaryen/Egg, Finn Bennett as Prince Aerion “Brightflame” Targaryen, Bertie Carvel as Prince Baelor “Breakspear” Targaryen, Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle, Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Baratheon, and Sam Spruell as Prince Maker Targaryen. The official logline reads, “A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.” Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Parker explained how A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be different than Game of Thrones and the other HBO spin-off show, House of the Dragon. “All decisions came down to Dunk, trying to channel the type of person he is into every aspect of this show, even the title sequence,” Parker explained. “The title sequences on the original [Game of Thrones] and House of Dragon are big and epic and incredible. Ramin Djawadi’s score is orchestral and large and beautiful. That’s not really Dunk’s M.O. He’s plain and he’s simple and he’s to-the-point. He doesn’t have a lot of flash to him. “…Nobody’s thinking about magic. This could basically be 14th-century Britain. This is hard-nose, grind it out, gritty, medieval knights, cold with a really light, hopeful touch. It’s a wonderful place to be. We are ground up in this series, we are starting right at the bottom. We’re not with the lords and ladies, the kings and queens.” A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms premieres on January 18, 2026, on HBO Max. Originally reported by Brandon Schreur at SuperHeroHype.

Photo Credit: Netflix The ongoing speculation about the future of Warner Bros. Discovery appears to have attracted several suitors, except Netflix, with the streaming giant reportedly not intending to submit a bid. Greg Peters, who serves as the co-CEO of the company, addressed the burning question regarding Netflix’s supposed interest in acquiring WBD at a recent event, expressing skepticism about such a deal ever materializing. Why Netflix may not acquire Warner Bros. Discovery Greg Peters has relayed uncertainty about Netflix ever forwarding a bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. Speaking at the recently conducted Bloomberg Screentime conference in Los Angeles about the proposed Netflix-WBD deal, the veteran entrepreneur noted, “We come from a deep heritage of being builders rather than buyers. One should have a reasonable amount of skepticism around big media mergers. They don’t have an amazing track record over time.” According to a report published by Deadline, Peters’ comments come after Paramount, which recently completed its merger with Skydance Media, showed signs of sending in an offer for the acquisition of WBD. While the entertainment juggernaut has yet to submit an official bid, the speculation has supposedly caused many media conglomerates to entertain the option of buying out WBD. Rumors have also suggested that current Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav had a significant role to play in inviting Netflix to the bidders’ table, as it would allow him to retain an important post in the company, post-acquisition. On the other hand, a deal with Paramount would not leave any assurances for Zaslav’s role in the organization. “Our job is to figure out what is the best way to grow the business,” Peters remarked when asked whether Netflix is unlikely to issue a bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. “We have to think really carefully about how we invest our capital, our time, and our attention. And if that’s the best way to do it, great. And if it’s not, we should do something else,” he added. The post Why Netflix’s Bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Is Unlikely appeared first on ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More. View the full article

Photo Credit: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Tron: Ares star Evan Peters shared a surprising connection his character has to the original movie. What is Tron: Ares villain’s unexpected connection to the original? In Tron: Ares, Peters plays Julian Dillinger, the CEO of Dillinger Systems. Fans of the franchise will recognize that Julian shares the same last name as Ed Dillinger, the villainous executive from the original Tron. Julian is Ed’s grandson, while Elisabeth Dillinger, played by Gillian Anderson, is Ed’s daughter and Julian’s mother. Peters explained how Julian will carry on the legacy of the Dillingers as he attempts to use AI for military efforts. “[In the] second film, the Dillingers are unveiling NCom12, and now Julian is unveiling this military AI, Ares,” Peters said to GamesRadar+. “So it sort of kicks off the movie. But like you said, it was in the writing, and then our characters’ relationship and dynamic – that was pretty fresh and new to the series. I was excited to jump on board with that.” Jared Leto stars as Ares, Dillinger’s creation. Ares is an intelligent and highly sophisticated AI created in the digital realm to be a super soldier in the real world. Ares is ordered to hunt Eve Kim (Greta Lee), the CEO of ENCOM, who has found the permanence code. With the permanence code, digital objects can become real, so Eve plans to use it to improve humanity by creating food and medicine. Julian needs the code for his takeover and will stop at nothing to retrieve it. Tron: Ares also stars Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, and Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn, the former CEO of ENCOM and protagonist in the 1982 film. Joachim Rønning directs Tron: Ares from a screenplay by Jesse Wigutow. Producers include Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Jared Leto, Emma Ludbrook, and Steven Lisberger. Tron: Ares is the third movie in the franchise, behind 1982’s Tron and 2010’s Tron: Legacy. Tron: Ares opens in theaters on October 10, 2025. Originally reported by Dan Girolamo on SuperHeroHype.

The Twins conducted a complete fire sale at the trade deadline this year as they shipped 11 players off their big league roster, but one significant player who stayed in place was ace right-hander Pablo Lopez. The talented righty was limited to just 14 starts this season by a hamstring strain and a shoulder strain before his season came to an end in September due to a forearm strain. The fact of Lopez’s injury-marred season left the Twins unable to move him at the deadline this year when they purged the majority of their veteran players, but that doesn’t mean a deal can’t be made this offseason. After all, the aforementioned forearm strain that ended his season came with “no concern” regarding Lopez’s UCL or elbow, and all indications point to him being expected to have a normal offseason and be ready for the 2026 campaign. What’s more, Lopez was nothing short of excellent when healthy this year as he pitched to a 2.79 ERA with a 3.19 FIP in 75 2/3 innings of work. That’s the sort of top-of-the-rotation potential that contending teams will want to bring in desperately this winter, and the Twins could stand to benefit from trading Lopez during an offseason where there are few free agents who offer much certainty. Dylan Cease, Zac Gallen, and Framber Valdez all had tough years that didn’t quite reach their typical standards, while Brandon Woodruff and Shane Bieber face health-related questions after seasons coming off major surgery. Lopez has his own flaws, of course, including his array of recent injuries and a pedestrian 4.08 ERA as recently as last year. Even so, the uncertainty surrounding this crop of free agent starters can only serve to make Lopez more attractive by comparison. It’s unclear what the Twins’ payroll capacity or competitive expectations for 2025 are, but if the team embarks on a lengthy rebuild it would make little sense to hold onto the final two years and $43.5MM left on the Lopez’s contract. With young arms like Mick Abel, Simeon Woods Richardson, Taj Bradley, Zebby Matthews, and David Festa all likely to compete for a spot in the rotation. Holdovers Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober will surely be in the rotation (unless they’re traded themselves), and Kendry Rojas could be ready for the majors at some point next year as well. That deep group of young rotation pieces makes Lopez a bit more expendable to the Twins than he would be for most teams, at least if they aren’t expecting to compete next year. Given the fact that Lopez would surely bring back a hefty return on the trade market and the depth the Twins currently enjoy in their rotation, using the right-hander to infuse more offensive talent into the club’s roster would make a lot of sense. With that being said, it’s worth noting that the Twins actually still have some notable talent on paper. Lopez, Ryan, and Ober could form a front three in the rotation that many contenders in the league would be jealous of. Star outfielder Byron Buxton has been healthier of late and has the offensive ability to be an anchor for a playoff lineup. Players like Royce Lewis and Matt Wallner have shown impressive ceilings despite their inconsistency, while young bats like Brooks Lee and Luke Keaschall could take a big step forward. It’s not impossible to imagine a viable offensive core coming together as soon as next year, especially if top prospects like Emmanuel Rodriguez and Walker Jenkins can contribute at some point. Of course, even with those positives the Twins would need to significantly invest in the team in order to build a real contender for 2026. RosterResource estimates the club’s current payroll for 2026 to fall into the range of $95MM, and while that leaves around $40MM in budget space relative to the 2025 club’s payroll it’s an open question how much of that (if any) will actually be reinvested into the major league club given the clear financial motivations behind this summer’s Correa trade. The Twins would need serious help in the bullpen in order to compete after losing Griffin Jax, Louis Varland, and Jhoan Duran at the deadline, and players like Kody Clemens and Austin Martin starting regularly at first base and in left field wouldn’t exactly inspire confidence either. If the front office is facing substantial financial constraints that weren’t in place this time last year, there may be an argument for moving Lopez even if they do want to compete next year. After all, his $21.75MM salary could then be reinvested into the offense or bullpen, both of which have much less depth than the rotation does at present. How do MLBTR readers view the situation? Should the Twins trade Lopez this offseason, either in hopes of reallocating his salary to other parts of the roster or as part of a full-scale rebuild? Or should they keep their ace in the fold to give themselves the best shot of winning next year? Have your say in the poll below: Take Our Poll View the full article

As the playoffs continue, here are three things we’ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today: 1. Phillies stave off elimination: The Phillies managed to keep their playoff hopes alive last night as they clobbered the Dodgers 8-2 off the back of two home runs from Kyle Schwarber. Today’s game will kick off in Los Angeles at 3:08pm local time as the Dodgers send right-hander Tyler Glasnow (3.19 ERA) to the mound opposite lefty Cristopher Sanchez (2.50 ERA). Both already pitched in Game 1 of this series, though they had different roles in the game. Sanchez drew the start for Philadelphia and allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings of work while striking out eight against two walks. Glasnow, by contrast, was used as a reliever and recorded 1 2/3 scoreless innings of work where he struck out two with two walks. 2. Cubs survive to see Game 4: Philadelphia wasn’t the only team to remain standing after an elimination game last night, as the Cubs beat the Brewers 4-3 after rallying to a lead in the first inning they would not relinquish. At 8:08pm local time this evening, Chicago and Milwaukee will take the field on the north side. Neither team has announced its starter for the game. Southpaw Matthew Boyd would be on regular rest after starting Game 1 for the Cubs, but after failing to make it out of the first inning in his last start against the Brew Crew there’s at least a possibility Chicago will consider other options. Meanwhile, Freddy Peralta would be on regular rest for Milwaukee, though it’s at least plausible they could go with another arm for Game 4 and save Peralta for either a decisive Game 5 or keep him fresh for the start of the NLCS should they win tonight. 3. Yankees head home after ALDS defeat: After winning the AL pennant last year for the first time since 2009, the Yankees won’t be able to recapture it this year. They dropped last night’s game to Toronto in a 5-2 loss and will now head into the offseason earlier than they were surely hoping to. This offseason likely won’t involve quite as much upheaval as last winter, when New York overhauled its roster after losing Juan Soto to the Mets, but there are still some significant pieces ticketed for free agency including Paul Goldschmidt, Trent Grisham, and (most likely) Cody Bellinger. The Yankees will surely hold a presser in the coming days that will shed some light on their offseason plans as they look ahead to the 2026 campaign, when Gerrit Cole will return from Tommy John surgery to help lead the rotation alongside Max Fried.

Absolute Batman #13 has revealed a fan-favorite character to be the leader of the outlaw collective, the Red Hood gang. In contrast to the character’s iconic look from the mainline DC universe, they have a completely new look in the Absolute Universe and bring a new twist to the Red Hood gang. Absolute Batman #13 introduces Harley Quinn with a twist In a shocking twist, in Absolute Batman #13, the Clown Princess of Crime, Harley Quinn, is revealed to be the leader of the Red Hood gang. The gang is often associated more with Jason Todd, who takes up the mantle of the Red Hood, and also the Joker. Departing from her signature look, this version of Harley sports a shaved head, diamond tattoos around her eyes and hands, and a checkered tattoo running down her neck. In contrast to her usually unconventional and eye-catching fashion choices in other representations, Absolute Harley has a casual look. She wears short pants paired with what seems to be a white shirt and a black vest. Furthermore, she also wears an oversized red hoodie, red sneakers, and checkered socks. Her weapon of choice in her appearance is a pair of nunchucks. The revelation comes when Batman and Selina get into a fight with members of the Red Hood Gang, and suddenly, the Bane Venom inside Batman’s body activates. Batman manages to calm things down by revealing his plan. He explains his plans to destroy Bane, Ark M, and his words seem to capture the leader’s attention, leading to Harley’s reveal. While Harley seems to be commanding the Red Hood, it’s important to note that Jason Todd and other Robins are expected to appear later in the series. Scott Snyder continues to write the story of the Absolute Batman series, alongside art by Nick Dragotta. Originally reported by Harsha Panduranga on SuperHeroHype.

From #1 New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Freida McFadden... It's late, and there's someone outside your door. She needs help. She'll kill to get it. In the middle of a storm, a girl appears on Casey's doorstep, obviously in need of help. She's young. She's alone. She's desperate. The girl is clearly running from something, but she won't say what. When Casey tries to learn more, she gets hostile. When Casey discovers disturbing diary entries and drawings in her meager backpack, she gets violent. This will be the longest night of Casey's life. This week’s batch of bestsellers has quite a few new releases, which is a nice change. The biggest book of the moment is 107 Days by Kamala Harris, which is in the top ten of all five of the biggest bestseller lists. It is the “story of one of the wildest and most consequential presidential campaigns in American history.” One book you won’t see here that’s worth mentioning is The Court of the Dead: A Nico di Angelo Adventure by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro. This is the newest book in the “World of Percy Jackson” and is a big seller, but because most outlets divide children’s books onto their own lists, it hasn’t made it onto this roundup. This list continues to lack of diversity on many levels, including being disproportionately by white authors. Some Indie Bestsellers you should know about are The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai, Katabasis by R. F. Kuang, and All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks. To get these numbers, we look at the New York Times, both Combined Print & E-Book Fiction and Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction lists; Amazon Charts, both Fiction and Nonfiction; Publishers Weekly; USA Today; and Indie Bestsellers, Fiction and Nonfiction, both Paperback and Hardcover.
