Miranda Cosgrove shares 'iCarly' movie update: 'It's happening'

Miranda Cosgrove has an 'exciting' update on the long-rumored 'iCarly' wrap-up movie: 'It looks like it's happening.'

ew.com

Miranda Cosgrove just confirmed that the long-rumored iCarly wrap-up movie is officially moving forward—scripts are in the works and it “looks like it’s happening.” She’s especially pumped because the film will answer the reboot’s big cliffhanger by finally introducing Carly and Spencer’s elusive mom (casting hasn’t been locked down yet, but she’ll be a key player).

After the original Nickelodeon run (2007–2012) and a Jennette-free Paramount+ reboot (2021–2023), fans are about to get the closure they’ve been craving. Cosgrove first hinted at the project in late 2024, but this is the clearest sign yet that the iCarly saga is far from over.

'One Piece' Renewed For Season 3 By Netflix, Gets Season 2 First Look

'One Piece' has received an early Season 3 renewal by Netflix with a new co-showrunner, Ian Stokes, joining Joe Tracz. See Season 2 first-look images.

‘One Piece’ snagged an early Season 3 renewal from Netflix during this weekend’s One Piece Day in Tokyo, even before Season 2 drops in 2026. Alongside the news, Netflix teased first-look images (hello, Callum Kerr as Captain Smoker!) from the live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s record-shattering manga.

Production on Season 3 sails off to Cape Town later this year, and there’s a fresh face behind the scenes: co-executive producer Ian Stokes joins Joe Tracz as co-showrunner, taking the helm after Matt Owens bowed out post-Season 2.

Ben Stiller Wants to Make ‘Severance' More Quickly—but First, He Needs to Get It Just Right

Ben Stiller Wants to Make ‘Severance’ More Quickly—but First, He Needs to Get It Just Right | Vanity Fair

Stiller goes deep on his busy year, from filming the “daunting” new Meet the Parents movie to planning Severance season 3—right after that huge Emmy noms haul.

vanityfair.com

Ben Stiller’s Hollywood hustle shows no signs of slowing down. After a surprise cameo in Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2, he’s gearing up to reunite with Robert De Niro (plus Ariana Grande!) in the new Meet the Parents sequel Focker In-Law and wrapping his heartfelt debut doc Nothing Is Lost, a tribute to his parents Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, due in theaters and on Apple TV+ this October. Meanwhile, the brainy sci-fi thriller Severance—on which he serves as executive producer and director—just hauled in a whopping 27 Emmy noms for its second season, proving that slow-burn perfection still pays off.

But Stiller admits there’s a tension between taking the time to get every scene just right and the desire to ride the wave of Emmy glory. He’s vowed that Severance season three will hit screens faster, yet he’s equally determined not to sacrifice the methodical precision that made seasons one and two such critical darlings. As he puts it, there’s nothing worse than waiting on reviews (or rushing a passion project), so he’s learning to balance the tug-of-war between patience, process, and perfection.

Jon Stewart’s New Boss Is Noncommittal on Host’s 'Daily Show' Future - LateNighter

Comedy Central's new leadership under Paramount-Skydance isn’t making any promises about Jon Stewart.

latenighter.com

Comedy Central’s new top dog George Cheeks is giving zero hints about whether Jon Stewart will stick around once his Daily Show deal expires in December. Stewart himself quipped on air, “I’m not going anywhere—I think,” but Cheeks, who just canned Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, won’t commit either way just yet.

In his first public stint as the go-to exec after Paramount’s Skydance merger, Cheeks said it’s still “day one” of the new regime and no decisions on renewals have been made. He even admitted he wasn’t sure where he stands with Colbert—despite calling himself “a huge fan” at a recent press conference.

Seth MacFarlane Wishes Hollywood Wasn't "So Dystopian"

It seems today that all Seth MacFarlane sees is violence in movies and dystopia on TV.

Seth MacFarlane says Hollywood’s menu is way too heavy on violence and dystopia these days, leaving TV shows and movies feeling relentlessly bleak. On the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, he called out the trend of “negative” storytelling and urged creators to start serving up more hope alongside the grim stuff.

He points to The Orville as his own antidote—an attempt to bring back the optimistic vibes he grew up on—and challenges the industry to balance its hard-hitting tales with narratives that inspire and uplift, even when the world feels uncertain.
