One final chapter in the Game Of Thrones saga is coming to our screens – this time in the form of a feature-length film.

Almost seven years on from one of the most polarising finales in TV history, screenwriter Beau Willimon – best known for his work on House Of Cards and the Star Wars off-shoot Andor – is said to be writing the script for a new movie version of Game Of Thrones.

The news was first reported by Page Six, and later confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter.

Game Of Thrones came to an end in 2019, with a dramatic turn of events that saw Jon Snow offing Daenerys Targaryen, and Sansa Stark ending up on the Iron Throne.

While the last episodes of Game Of Thrones weren’t exactly well-received by fans at the time, that certainly hasn’t stopped the Westeros universe from expanding in the years since.

The popular prequel series House Of The Dragon, set two centuries before the events of Game Of Thrones, is expected to air its third season next year, with James Norton and Tom Cullen among those joining regulars Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke and Rhys Ifans. A fourth has already been commissioned by US broadcaster HBO.

Meanwhile, a spin-off of a very different nature premiered earlier this year, in the form of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, based on Game Of Thrones author Tales Of Dunk And Egg books.

The series was notable in that it vastly differed tonally from other adaptations set in the Game Of Thrones universe, with much more emphasis on comedy than fans are probably used to – which split critics down the middle.

A spin-off centred around the hero Jon Snow was also heavily rumoured to be in the works, but this project was eventually shelved when Kit Harington pulled out.

Game Of Thrones, House Of The Dragon and A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms are all streaming on Now and Sky in the UK.

The latest season of Bridgerton has received widespread praise for its touching coming out scene, which sees Benedict opening up to Sophie about his sexuality.

Luke Thompson’s character was confirmed to be queer during the show’s third run, where he was seen engaging in trysts with both men and women.

Benedict is Bridgerton’s first openly queer lead character, and his coming out scene took the show’s writers into new territory.

“I am capable of caring for you, just as I have cared for women I have known who are of the Ton,” he told Yerin Ha’s character, Sophie, in season four’s sixth episode, which premiered on Netflix last week.

“Just as I have cared for some men whom I have known intimately,” he added. “And I refuse to be at all ashamed about that.”

Since the episode’s release, showrunner Jess Brownell has explained why it was “hugely important” to her that this scene be included.

“I think any queer person knows that no matter who you end up with, queerness is a part of your identity,” Jess told Business Insider. “It never goes away. And I think one of the messages of this show every season is that the only way to truly be loved is to be your true self.”

After Benedict’s coming out, Sophie assures him: “Love is always a thing to be proud of. The world needs more of it.”

But to Jess, there was never any doubt about how the character would react.

“Sophie is someone who’s been through so much and has lived in the downstairs world and been friends with people of all different classes,” she claimed. “And I do think she’s probably encountered people of different sexualities.”

Before the series was released, Jess stressed that it was “really important” to her that Benedict’s queerness remain a key part of his character, including after he began to pursue a romantic relationship with a woman.

“There is a really harmful and untrue stereotype that bisexual men are actually just gay men. More often, we see bisexual men ending up in media in homosexual-presenting relationships,” Jess told Variety last year.

“And it felt fresh and important to see a bisexual man ending up in a heterosexual-presenting relationship and still owning the fact that he is still queer.”

Benedict is not the only queer character in the world of Bridgerton.

Jess has previously said that Hannah Dodd’s Francesca will enter a same-sex relationship in a future season.

At the end of Bridgerton’s third outing, Francesca is introduced to her husband John’s female cousin, Michaeala Stirling.

Fans of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton book series will know that in the novels, this character is written as a man called Michael, with whom Francesca finds love after John suddenly dies.

However, he has been gender-swapped for the TV adaptation, with Michaela being played by Masali Baduza.

All four seasons of Bridgerton are available to watch on Bridgerton now.

Richard Osman has announced that he is stepping down from his BBC game show House Of Games after almost a decade at the helm.

On Tuesday morning, the former Pointless host confirmed that the current season of House Of Games would be his last.

However, fans of the format needn’t worry, as he’s confirmed that it will continue to air with a new host.

Announcing the news on his podcast The Rest Is Entertainment, he confirmed: “I am leaving House Of Games. It will no longer be Richard Osman’s House Of Games – it will be somebody else’s House Of Games. I gladly hand over the keys.”

“Thank you for all your kind words as I step down from House Of Games after nine amazing years,” he later wrote on X.

“It is honestly the most fun show to work on, with the most wonderful team, but, after 800 episodes it’s time to hand over the keys to a new host.”

Richard continued: “There are plenty of new episodes still to air though, and I’ll even be filming one final handover week later in the year! It really has been a treat from start to finish.”

House Of Games sees Richard welcoming four celebrities into his studio for a week of shows which pits them against each other in a series of weird and wonderful challenges.

Launching in 2017, the show has garnered a loyal following over the years, and in 2025, spawned its first international spin-off for Australian audiences, with comedian Claire Hooper at the helm.

It is also notably where he met his now-wife, Ingrid Oliver, after she appeared as a celebrity participant back in 2021.

Outside of his TV work, Richard has become synonymous with his hugely successful Thursday Murder Club book series, the latest instalment of which hit the shelves towards the end of last year.

In 2025, the first Thursday Murder Club novel was also adapted for Netflix, with Dame Helen Mirren, Celia Imrie, Pierce Brosnan and Sir Ben Kingsley leading an all-star cast in the streaming movie.

Yerin Ha has explained why one of fans’ most-anticipated scenes in Bridgerton’s fourth season wasn’t nearly as sexy to film as it was to watch.

The moment in question sees Yerin’s character, Sophie, enjoying a steamy encounter with Benedict, played by Luke Thompson, in a bathtub.

However when it came to filming this sequence, it turns out that languishing in warm water for hours on end to achieve the perfect sex scene comes with occupational hazards.

“Basically I put baby powder all on me because I was told it would help dry my skin to put the intimacy wear on with the tape,” Yerin recently told Capital Breakfast.

“And then basically the next day after the bathtub, I got hives all over my body, and I got folliculitis, so I needed steroid cream.”

She joked: “But I blame myself, because I think it was a combination of baby powder and the bath water. So it’s me, I’m a sensitive gal!”

Benedict chipped in to reveal that the scene took seven whole hours to film. Let it never be said that actors don’t suffer for their art…

The bathtub scene in question was included in the second batch of episodes for Bridgerton season four, which arrived on Netflix earlier this week to mixed reviews from the critics.

Part two follows the developing romance between second eldest Bridgerton son Benedict and maid Sophie, after a complicated road including a masquerade ball, a wicked stepmother, and an absolute misfire when Benedict asked Sophie to be his mistress during a pivotal cliffhanger.

While that’s it for season four, there are at least a couple more series of Bridgerton in the pipeline, as we wait to see which of the remaining siblings’ love story is next.

Showrunner Jess Brownell previously teased who will step up to the plate in seasons five and six of the Netflix Regency drama, leaving fans to guess between Eloise and Francesca, played by Claudia Jessie and Hannah Dodd, respectively.

Bridgerton season four is streaming on Netflix now.

If you’ve still not checked out Netflix’s hit thriller The Night Agent, reviews for its recently-released third season might make you reconsider.

While the hit spy series – led by Gabriel Basso as FBI agent Peter Sutherland – doesn’t quite have the profile of Netflix originals like Stranger Things, Squid Game or Wednesday, its first season remains one of the most-watched in the platform’s history, so the following is clearly there.

On Thursday, The Night Agent returned for its third outing, and impressively, the reviews at the time of writing are unanimously positive, with a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

When we last caught up with Peter Sutherland, he was being given a new mission to act as a double agent to crime boss Jacob Monroe, with the new season picking up one year on.

Here’s a quick snapshot of what critics have been saying about the new batch of episodes so far…

“The Night Agent takes a big gamble with season three – and it mostly pays off […] Brasso still pulls his weight in the fight scenes, which feel refreshingly brutal and grounded. As unrealistic as they can be sometimes, they’re still more visceral than most, committed to showing the toll of this line of work. The emotional toll takes precedence though, and therein lies the key to making this series work.”

“The Night Agent doesn’t break new ground, but not every show needs to do that. If The Pitt has taught us anything, it’s that there’s an appetite for old-fashioned dramatic structures that are done well. This one doesn’t rise to the levels of that HBO hit, but it does what it sets out to do remarkably well. It values escapist entertainment above all else.”

“The Night Agent season three is the show’s best instalment yet, thanks to a tighter narrative, compelling characters, solid action, and great twists […] For a while, the show knew what it was: a Netflix thriller that did not need to be much more than what it promised to be, which is fun and binge-worthy. As of The Night Agent season three’s ending, the show still isn’t on the level of other quality TV shows, but it certainly keeps improving [and] season three is the best of the bunch.”

“While there were certainly solid moments in Season 2, it sometimes felt overpacked, juggling so many moving pieces that the plot grew convoluted and the emotional throughline occasionally got lost. With its return, however, The Night Agent returns to its roots, delivering a tighter, more focused season that feels completely sure of itself — and easily the strongest the series has produced so far.”

“Is season three The Night Agent’s best outing, then? I think you could make a case, certainly. It has tighter storytelling and a strong sense of character, and there’s no sign of things neatly wrapping up any time soon.

“That desire to keep the show going may prove its undoing down the line, but for now, at least, I don’t think we’ve exhausted everything it has to offer just yet.”

“One of the biggest changes for the third season of Netflix’s The Night Agent is that Luciane Buchanan’s character Rose Larkin isn’t a part of it.

“Both Buchanan and creator Shawn Ryan are on record saying [this absence] was only because the story that Ryan and his writers broke for season three didn’t include Rose, and that she could come back in future seasons. Still, it’s a big loss for the show, and that loss is evident in the first episode of season three […] The Night Agent is still perfectly good ‘watch while doing laundry’ TV but it feels like the third season is even more lunkheaded than the first two, and the absence of Buchanan is huge.”

All three seasons of The Night Agent are now streaming on Netflix. Watch the trailer for season three below:

The hit Netflix dark comedy thriller How To Get To Heaven From Belfast reunites the creator of Derry Girls, Lisa McGee, with some of the sitcom’s main stars – plus a host of familiar faces from the world of TV.

The critically-acclaimed series follows three women in their 30s, who reunite in the wake of the death of the estranged fourth member of their teenage friend group.

After a sinister discovery, the trio embarks on a quest to find out what really happened to their late friend, becoming tangled in a web of conspiracies in the process as they attempt to keep their own skeletons firmly in the closet.

How Tom Get To Heaven From Belfast is full of recognisable performers – and here is where you might have seen them before…

Roisin Gallagher plays screenwriter Saoirse in How To Get To Heaven From Belfast. Her first notable role was playing DC Emer Taylor in The Fall alongside Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan.

In 2022, she landed the leading role in ITV’s The Dry, where she portrayed a woman who returns home to Dublin amid her recovery from alcoholism.

The following year, Roisin appeared alongside Johnny Flynn in Sky’s romantic drama The Lovers, playing a supermarket worker with a secret past who fell in love with a well-known political journalist.

More recently, Roisin played the romantic love interest, Laura in Harlan Coben’s Netflix series Lazarus.

Sinéad Keenan, who plays Robyn in the Netflix show, is best known as DCI Jessica James in ITV’s Unforgotten.

Before that, she first found fame in Irish soap Fair City, where she played Farrah Phelan.

She later portrayed the werewolf Nina Pickering in the BBC supernatural drama Being Human alongside Russell Tovey, and has also had roles in Doctor Who, playing the captain of a Vinvocci salvage team in The End Of Time, Jimmy McGovern’s TV movie Care and the BBC’s 2021 legal drama Showtrial.

You may recognise Caoilfhionn Dunne for her playing Lizzie in the Dublin-set crime drama Love/Hate, VP Jackie Walsh in Industry, or, more recently, Anne Glover in A Thousand Blows, alongside Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty.

Caoilfhionn also appeared in one episode of the BBC sitcom Ghosts, appearing as film director Petra O’Keefe, as well as Britannia and the Star Wars spin-off Andor.

Iconic Irish actor Bronagh Gallagher is the main antagonist of How To Get To Heaven From Belfast.

Bronagh has consistently been on our screens since the 1990s and was listed at number 33 on The Irish Times’ list of Ireland’s Greatest Actors Of All Time.

She is probably best recognised from playing Sandra in the sitcom Pramface, appearing in the Sky miniseries You, Me and the Apocalypse, and most recently as Carol in comedy/drama Brassic.

She rose to fame in 1991, playing a singer in the musical drama The Commitments, which began a long and illustrious career, ranging from playing a captain in the Judicial Forces in Star Wars to starring in The Personal History of David Copperfield as Mrs. Micawber.

Her TV credits are almost as long as her filmography, ranging from Scottish crime drama The Field Of Blood to sketch comedy The Peter Serafinowicz Show.

If Josh Finan, who plays Jason in the new Netflix drama, looks familiar to you, it’s quite probably from his Bafta-nominated role as the young, vulnerable Marco in The Responder.

He later played Dixon’s assistant Jethro in Netflix’s The Gentleman, a bartender who works with Donny in Baby Reindeer and Gerry Adams in Irish historical drama Say Nothing.

Most recently, Josh has played the lead in BBC drama Waiting For The Out, which sees an educator try to teach philosophy to prisoners.

Ardal O’Hanlon is undoubtedly best known for playing Father Dougal in the iconic sitcom Father Ted, but he also played the lead, George, in the BBC comedy My Hero, which follows an alien superhero who tries to adapt to life after falling in love with a human.

More recently, Ardal appeared in Death In Paradise between 2017 and 2020.

A mainstay of British and Irish TV for the last three decades, Ardal also played a cat person in the Doctor Who episode Gridlock, a politics teacher in the third season of Skins and Mary and Sarah’s cousin Eamon in How To Get To Heaven From Belfast creator Lisa McGee’s other hit series Derry Girls.

The Irish actor continues his run of playing bad boys with his role in How To Get To Heaven From Belfast.

Emmett found fame playing Brendan Brady in Hollyoaks between 2011 and 2013, and has had a prolific TV career since leaving the soap, often playing villains.

He later had a recurring role in police drama The Fall, as D.C. Glenn Martin, before appearing in BBC supernatural drama In The Flesh, Harlan Coben’s Safe and five episodes of Peaky Blinders between 2017 and 2019.

Michelle Fairley will already be known to Game Of Thrones fans for playing Catelyn Stark in the fantasy series, although she had a long career in both film and TV before joining Westeros.

Since appearing as the mother to the Stark children in the fantasy show, Michelle has appeared in Suits, 24: Live Another Day and The White Princess, in which she starred as Henry VII’s mother Margaret Beaufort.

More recently, she played a terrifying matriarch in Gangs Of London, Princess Augusta in Bridgerton prequel Queen Charlotte and Mrs Wilson in the 2024 Cillian Murphy film, Small Things Like These.

Natasha O’Keeffe is best known for her role as Lizzie Shelby in Peaky Blinders.

However, her first TV role came years earlier, in 2010, when she played Abby in the BBC drama Lip Service. Following this, she joined the cast of Misfits, playing Abby in seasons four and five.

Her other TV credits include The Abominable Snowman, Strike and the fantasy series The Wheel Of Time.

Saoirse-Monica Jackson has teamed back up with her former Derry Girls collaborator to appear in a small but memorable role in How To Get To Heaven From Belfast.

She played the always-opinionated Erin Quinn in all 19 episodes of Derry Girls, and has since gone on to join the cast of the BBC crime drama The City Is Ours, as well as appearing in the TV film The Trial, where she played a crime investigator.

On the big screen, she appeared in the American coming-of-age romantic comedy Finding You, before having a blink-and-you-miss-it role as Barry’s housemate in the critically-panned DCU project The Flash.

Darragh is best known for playing the geeky Michael Holden in the Netflix teen show Heartstopper, but fans of the Netflix teen drama will no doubt find him recognisable in How To Get To Heaven From Belfast as he sports a very different look.

His other TV credits include minor appearances in Grace and Silent Witness.

Emma Canning – who plays the young Greta in flashback scenes in How To Get To Heaven From Belfast – is definitely a star on the rise, with an already-impressive resume.

Most recently, she starred alongside Paul Mescal in Josh O’Connor in The History Of Sound, but she also played a young Domina in Britannia, before going on to join Apple TV+’s star-studded Masters Of The Air.

She also appeared in Irish historical drama Say Nothing and recently appeared in Dune: Prophecy as a Young Tula.

Since the Stranger Things finale premiered towards the end of 2025, fans have been debating whether or not they were satisfied with the way things turned out in the award-winning sci-fi drama.

And it seems the cast is now getting involved in the discourse, too.

Last week, one viewer asked cast member Matthew Modine – who played the villainous Dr. Martin Brenner in the Netflix series – if he “liked the finale of Stranger Things”.

By way of response, Matthew had just one word, writing back: “Nope.”

Matthew appeared in 16 episodes of Stranger Things, last appearing in season four back in 2022.

His other notable credits include the films Streamers, And The Band Played On, Married To The Mob, Full Metal Jacket and Oppenheimer, as well as the TV shows Weeds and The New Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes.

Since joining Stranger Things, he’s proved to be a popular member of the cast, notably officiating co-star Millie Bobby Brown’s wedding to Jake Bongiovi in 2024.

While the main show of Stranger Things may now be over, there’s still plenty for fans of the show to look forward to in the near future.

Later this year, the “midquel” spin-off Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, is set to debut on Netflix.

Set between the events of seasons two and three, the series will reimagine the characters we already know and love from the main show in animated form (with new voice actors taking on the roles).

Last week, a new trailer for the animated series was released, teasing new adventures ahead of its release date in April 2026.

Meanwhile, Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers have made no secret of the fact they’re exploring different ideas for spin-offs set within the show’s universe.

The Stranger Things theatrical experience The First Shadow is also currently playing in both London’s West End and Broadway.
