STARZ Announces Lead Cast Of ‘Power: Origins’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

On Wednesday (Sept. 10), STARZ announced the co-leads of its new prequel series, Power: Origins.

Spence Moore — best known for roles in Creed III and Brilliant Minds — will play Ghost while Charlie Mann — who’s best known for roles in The Watchers and Virdee — will play Tommy. The adult versions of their characters were brilliantly portrayed by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora, respectively, in the original Power (2014-2020).
 
Power: Origins centers around the adolescent Ghost and Tommy as “ambitious young entrepreneurs on the rise, determined to make their mark on the streets of New York City.” Described by the network as a “fun, rambunctious exploration of a new time period,” Origins will also “highlight the unbridled audacity of young men not just leveling up, but determined to become legends in the game.”

STARZ

It was previously announced that MeKai Curtis, star of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, will reprise his role as Kanan Stark in this highly-anticipated prequel. Joseph Sikora has expressed interest in reprising his role but in the form of a narrator as 50 Cent does on Raising Kanan. However, that has not been confirmed.

“I’m excited to continue to explore the origin stories of the Power Universe’s founding fathers,” said Sascha Penn, showrunner, writer and executive producer, in a statement when the 18-episode order was announced back in July. “Ghost and Tommy’s backstories have fueled years of constant fascination and speculation among fans, and I’m thrilled to be able to answer some long-held questions and share new layers of the story that viewers won’t see coming.”  

The pilot episode of Origins will be co-written by Penn and Power franchise creator, Courtney A. Kemp.

First announced in March 2024, Power: Origins marks the fourth spinoff in the Power franchise — preceded by Power Book II: Ghost, which concluded following its fourth season in 2024 and Raising Kanan, which will end with its fifth season. Power Book IV: Force will debut its third and final season on Nov. 7.

Cast, Plot & How to Watch – Hollywood Life

The Bachelorette enthusiasts will have to wait until next year for season 22, but in the meantime, Netflix is offering a fictional reality TV escape to Paris — the “wrong” one, that is! Starring iCarly alum Miranda Cosgrove and an all-star cast, The Wrong Paris puts a fresh spin on fan-favorite dating competition shows.

Below, Hollywood Life has all the details about The Wrong Paris, from its synopsis to the premiere date and exclusive insights from a cast member!

What Is The Wrong Paris About?

The story is a real whirlwind for Miranda’s character, Dawn, a Texas native who gets accepted into an art school in Paris, France. There’s just one problem: she needs money before she can say, “Bon voyage!” to her family.

To earn the cash, she signs up for The Honey Pot, a reality TV dating show, which promises contestants the chance to find love with its bachelor in Paris. What none of them realizes is that the production has tricked them into filming in Paris, Texas.

Dawn develops an unexpected connection with the show’s leading man, Trey, and she must choose between chasing her dream or following her heart.

How to Watch The Wrong Paris: Premiere Date & Streaming Details

The Wrong Paris will premiere on Netflix on September 12, 2025. As long as you’re a Netflix subscriber, you’ll be able to watch it!

Who Is in The Wrong Paris Cast?

In addition to iCarly alum Miranda, the rest of The Wrong Paris cast features Pierson Fodé (Jessie; The Bold and the Beautiful; Dynasty), Madison Pettis (The Game Plan; Cory in the House; He’s All That), Frances Fisher (The Edge of Night; Titanic; Watchmen) and Yvonne Orji (Jane the Virgin; The Blackening; My Dad the Bounty Hunter).

What Did The Wrong Paris Cast Say About the Movie?

While speaking exclusively with Hollywood Life ahead of the film’s premiere, Maddison discussed her character, Lexi, who will do just about anything to win Trey’s affection in The Honey Pot — even if it involves wrestling Dawn in muddy water, a scene that Madison said was “really fun” to work on with Miranda.

“Miranda and I both said it was one of our favorite days of filming,” Madison told Hollywood Life, before pointing out, “even though it was, by far, the grossest for sure.”

Lexi is quite the two-faced mean girl, a stark contrast to Madison’s real-life personality. “She sounds so sweet when she’s talking, [like] she can get away with murder, but what she’s saying is not very nice,” the Disney Channel alum noted, adding that Lexi’s southern drawl helped her get into character.

Believe it or not, Madison and Miranda — alumni of the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, respectively — hadn’t crossed paths until they were cast in The Wrong Paris, but Madison “grew up watching” Miranda’s performances, such as in Drake & Josh, she told Hollywood Life.

“I feel like she inspired a lot of my Disney performances,” the He’s All That star elaborated. “[Miranda’s] Drake & Josh character, Megan, is so iconic to me. She [played] the best evil little sister that torments her brothers. I sort of channeled that in [my role] in Cory in the House.”

Kit Harington and Keira Knightley join Harry Potter audiobook cast

written by jummy84

Kit Harington and Keira Knightley have been cast in the new Harry Potter audiobook series.

Keira Knightley has joined the cast of the new Harry Potter audiobooks

The Game of Thrones actor and Black Doves actress are among the 10 new stars lending their voices to the Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions.

Kit will voice Professor Lockhart with Keira taking on the role of Professor Umbridge in the upcoming Pottermore Publishing and Audible project.

Game of Thrones’ Iwan Rheon and Gemma Whelan will voice Professor Lupin and Professor Sprout respectively, with Ruth Wilson joining as Bellatrix Lestrange, Ambika Mod playing Nymphadora Tonks, and Leo Woodall as Bill Weasley.

James McAvoy has also joined as Mad-Eye Moody, while Matt Berry will voice Sir Cadogan.

For the new audiobooks, Arthur Weasley will be played by Simon Pegg, whose Hot Fuzz co-star Nick Frost is portraying Rubeus Hagrid in HBO’s separate TV revival of the wizarding franchise.

Casting for a number of key roles already been confirmed for the audiobooks.

For the first three books – The Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban – Frankie Treadaway, Max Lester and Arabella Stanton will voice Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger respectively.

Arabella has also been cast as Hermione in HBO’s reboot, alongside Dominic McLaughlin (Harry) and Alastair Stout (Ron).

For the final four audiobooks – Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince and the Deathly Hallows – Frankie, Max and Lester will be replaced by Jaxon Knopf, Rhys Mulligan and Nina Barker-Francis.

Elsewhere in the Full-Cast Audio Editions, Cush Jumbo will narrate, with Hugh Laurie (Albus Dumbledore), Matthew Macfadyen (Lord Voldemort), Riz Ahmed (Professor Snape), Michelle Gomez (Professor McGonagall) and Mark Addy (Hagrid).

The cast so far is rounded off by Alex Hassell as Lucius Malfoy, Daniel Mays as Dobby, and Sara and Anvi Deshmukh as the Patil twins.

The audiobooks are separate from HBO’s series, and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner recently offered a word of warning for Dominic, Alastair and Arabella about life as a child star.

She told Flaunt magazine: “I look at the kids who are about to be in the new Harry Potter and I just want to give them a hug and say, ‘Look, it’s going to be okay but don’t go anywhere near [social media].

“’Stay friends with your home friends, keep living at home with your family, make sure your parents are your chaperones — it’s so important to have that grounding adjacent to the big, crazy stuff that you do.’”

Meet the new cast of Only Murders in the Building Season 5: Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz and more

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Season 5 of Only Murders in the Building is here, and the Arconia has fresh faces. The Hulu hit dropped its first three episodes on September 9, kicking off another round of chaos for Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez). This time, the victim is close to home – beloved doorman Lester, played by Teddy Coluca. His death in the courtyard fountain pulls the trio back into sleuth mode.

“Our beloved doorman has a hold of a large amount of tenants in our buildings’ secrets,” co-creator John Hoffman told Decider last year. “We really are dipping our toe into a New York City in season 5 that feels particularly ripped from the headlines in certain ways that we’ve not done before,” he added.

Returning players include Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Nathan Lane, Richard Kind, Michael Cyril Creighton, and Téa Leoni. But it’s the newcomers that have people talking.

Renée Zellweger leads the new arrivals

Renée Zellweger plays Camila White, a powerful billionaire tied to the city’s hospitality world. In the trailer, she drops a chilling line: “The easiest way to win is to make your opponent think they’re playing a different game entirely.”

Christoph Waltz joins as Bash Steed, a tech mogul whose sudden interest in the Arconia raises suspicion. Logan Lerman rounds out the trio of billionaires as Jay Pflug, heir to a pharmaceutical empire. “This is the new mob of New York! These people could be killers,” Oliver declares in the preview.

The list does not stop there. Keegan-Michael Key steps in as embattled Mayor Tillman. Jermaine Fowler plays Randall, the doorman reluctantly promoted after Lester’s death. Beanie Feldstein appears as Althea – or “Thé” – Mabel’s estranged childhood friend turned pop star. Bobby Cannavale shows up as mob-tied Nicky Caccimelio, while Dianne Wiest plays Lester’s widow, Lorraine.

A mix of comedy, star power, and suspicion

According to People, the season weaves in corruption, celebrity, and old rivalries alongside the murder mystery. Feldstein’s flashy pop star clashes with Mabel. Cannavale’s mobster raises red flags after a fight with Lester. Wiest delivers heart as the grieving wife with her late husband’s secrets.

The newcomers expand an already stacked cast while keeping the series’ balance of humor and tension intact. With Streep, Zellweger, Waltz, and Wiest sharing the screen, season 5 leans even harder into prestige casting.

Hoffman called Wiest’s addition a personal thrill, telling Parade he “couldn’t believe” she said yes. Five seasons in, the Arconia still has secrets – and now even more suspects.

In the years since, Peacock’s reimagined series Bel-Air has given fans a dramatic take on the iconic sitcom with Jabari Banks taking on Smith’s role as Will (Jones, Smith and Medina all serve as producers).

And as a gift to fans, producers have definitely been up to some good, enlisting Tatyana Ali (who starred as Ashley Banks), Vernee Watson-Johnson (who appeared as Will’s mom Vy), Daphne Maxwell Reid (the second actress to play Aunt Viv) and Joseph Marcell (beloved butler Geoffrey) to make cameos in the new series. 

The cast as a whole has been good about staying in touch, Ali told E! News in 2023, revealing, “We all have a text chain.” 

And while we couldn’t get the story all about how they relive their years together, she told E!, “It’s a real blessing that anything that you make or are a part of making could mean that much to people.”

So we’d like to take a minute—just sit right there—and check in with her and the rest of the original Fresh Prince cast to see what they’ve been up to since they said goodbye to the Banks residence.

‘Paddington the Musical’ Expands Cast for London West End Bow

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The marmalade is spreading across London’s West End. Producers have unveiled the expanded company for “Paddington the Musical,” the world premiere adaptation heading to London’s Savoy Theatre this fall.

Sonia Friedman Productions, Studiocanal and Eliza Lumley Productions on behalf of Universal Music U.K. revealed the additional cast members joining the previously announced ensemble for the musical based on Michael Bond’s beloved bear.

One key casting element remains under wraps: the identity of Paddington himself, along with the bear designer and bear creative team, will be revealed on the first preview performance.

The production reunites several notable West End veterans, including Bonnie Langford as Mrs Bird, Brenda Edwards as Tanya, and Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as villain Millicent Clyde. Tom Edden takes on the role of the Browns’ curmudgeonly neighbor Mr. Curry, while Teddy Kempner plays the kindly Mr. Gruber.

The Brown family will be portrayed by Amy Ellen Richardson and Adrian Der Gregorian as Mr. and Mrs. Brown, with Delilah Bennett-Cardy as daughter Judy. Four young actors — Joseph Bramley, Leo Collon, Stevie Hare and Jasper Rowse — will share the role of son Jonathan Brown.

Rounding out the company are Esme Bacalla-Hayes, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, David Birch, Aimée Fisher, Jacqueline Hughes, Kellianna Jay, Sam Lathwood, Natasha Leaver, Katie Lee, Sunny Lee, Vicki Lee Taylor, Jáiden Lodge, Andilé Mabhena, Rose Mary O’Reilly, Ben Redfern, Hugo Rolland and Simon Shorten.

The musical features music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher, book by Jessica Swale and direction by Luke Sheppard. The creative team includes musical supervisor Matt Brind, choreographer Ellen Kane, and scenic designer Tom Pye.

“Paddington the Musical” begins previews Nov. 1, with booking currently extending through May 25, 2026. The production promises “show-stopping songs, dazzling choreography, mischief and mayhem at every turn — and of course, marmalade sandwiches.”

The musical draws from Bond’s original books and takes story inspiration from the 2014 Studiocanal film. Bond’s first “Paddington” book was published in 1958, launching a franchise that has sold over 35 million copies worldwide and spawned multiple TV adaptations and three feature films, including this year’s “Paddington in Peru.”
