The White Lotus Season 2. "In the beginning, he just sort of tolerated being talked down to or being slightly humiliated here and there. But increasingly, he's holding more and more anxiety, jealousy, fear, anger — all of those things. He's trying to contain them because he's trying to keep the peace and he wants to be a good person," Will Sharpe says of Ethan. "There's this unhappy little hurricane developing. And, you know, talking with [creator] Mike White through the series about how restrained Ethan was written, it felt like at some point he was bound to snap."

Loki Season 2. "It's been amazing to shoot the second season of Loki," Gugu Mbatha-Raw, adding that fans of the series "are gonna be in for a real treat because the show is bolder and more surreal. And in many ways, goes to some bigger, bolder places than season 1, which is really exciting."

The Good Fight. Given Carmen’s ambiguous ending — at least compared to other characters — there's no reason the Kings couldn't revisit her story in another spinoff series down the road. "I think in the right circumstances," Charmaine Bingwa says she would "absolutely" be up for another run as Carmen. "Michelle and Robert are geniuses. I would email them all the time and be like, 'By the way, in case no one's told you today, you are a genius.' And so yeah, I would love to work with them again." (Read more from Bingwa’s conversation about the end of the Paramount+ series, Emancipation and her connection to Heath Ledger.)
And Just Like That... The cast films season 2 around New York City, with the sequel series expected to premiere sometime in 2023. (Read on for everything we know about the upcoming installment in the Sex and the City franchise.)
“I’m not trying to pat Hollywood on the back too much, but the power of a story well told moves the needle. It changes the way in which we interact and see society. I think Randall Pearson coming into people’s houses may offer the opportunity to say, ‘That guy is more like me than I would have thought.’ The next time they come across another African- American male they may not cross the street. They may not pretend like they don’t see him. They may actually look him in the eye and say hello.”--Sterling K. Brown

Aside from the disappearance of tobacco sponsorships, what are some of the biggest social changes you’ve seen since the time of the film?
Billie Jean King: We’ve made a lot of advances in the L.G.B.T. community. We still have a long way to go, and I think we’re starting to go backward a bit, especially with the ban on trans people in the armed forces. We have to keep pushing. We have to have equality in every way. Everyone deserves to belong.
