Adolescence fans will be disappointed as Stephen Graham thriller gets update
Stephen Graham's next project is the 'twisted' thriller movie Good Boy, which is set to premiere at a festival later this year
Stephen Graham's upcoming must-see project has been given an update - though regrettably supporters still face a considerable wait ahead.
The celebrated Boiling Point actor's most recent series Adolescence remains regarded as amongst the finest new dramas of the year following its Netflix debut in March.
Co-created by Graham and Jack Thorne, the four-episode series shot in continuous takes chronicles a household torn asunder when 13 year old Jamie (portrayed by Owen Cooper) faces arrest for murdering his female schoolmate.
Following Adolescence's swift ascent to become one of Netflix's most-viewed programmes of the year across nearly 100 nations, numerous admirers were left keen to discover Graham's subsequent venture.
He's shortly bound for cinema screens, appearing alongside The Bear's Jeremy Allen White in the musical biography Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, reports the Mirror.

Nevertheless, prior to this potential Academy Award contender reaching theatres in October, his more intimate thriller Good Boy is scheduled to debut at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), planned for 4-14th September.
Also featuring Andrea Riseborough, who appeared in Matilda the Musical alongside Graham, and MobLand's Anson Boon, the picture is characterised as a "twisted" tale of "freedom and identity".
Sadly, Good Boy's TIFF debut means cinema enthusiasts unable to travel to Toronto this year might need to wait until the following year before its public release, as no official widespread distribution date has been confirmed.
In this distinctive British thriller, Boon takes on the role of Tommy, a 19-year-old gang leader who coerces his mates into committing violent acts.
Tommy's world is thrown into chaos when Chris, played by Graham, abducts him and, together with his wife Kathryn (portrayed by Riseborough), employs unconventional methods to make him pay for his wrongdoings.
The film is directed by Polish filmmaker Jan Komasa, with the screenplay penned by Bartek Bartosik and Naqqash Khalid.

Sky Sports unveil six major changes to how they'll show new Premier League season
Sky Sports have unveiled a rebrand of their Premier League coverage ahead of the first season of the new £6.7billion broadcast deal, with Multiview the biggest change Sky Sports have made major changes to the way they broadcast Premier League football ahead of the 2025/26 season. Sky will show 215 matches this season – up from 128 in 2024/25 – and are attempting to freshen up their offering for fans in the first year of their new four-year £6.7billion rights deal. The broadcaster has made no secret about their desire to court a younger audience and have undergone sweeping personnel changes in recent years. And ahead of the start of the Premier League season this weekend, Sky have announced a raft of fresh changes. The headline change is the introduction of Multiview, where viewers will be able to follow up to four matches simultaneously. The move echoes the famous Red Zone programme from NFL and is most likely to be seen on Sundays in the new season, with one match as the main screen and three others shown smaller and one commentary team flitting between them. 'The question for us has been how can we enhance what we've got? And how can we utilise the new rights?' said Sky's director of football Gary Hughes. 'Having four simultaneous games, we might even have five on some midweeks, means it's just the best way we can offer the best use of the assets that we've got. There could be some chaos to it, but that's the beauty of having all those games at once.' All the final games on the last day of the season will be live, while Sky have also changed their theme music, replacing Celeste's Stop This Flame with a revamped version of G.O.A.T by Kasabian ft. Cristale. Their desire to chase younger viewers was shown by the hiring of Roman Kemp to front a show called Premier League Friday and it's also clear in the use of fans from each of the 20 Premier league clubs in their coverage. Meanwhile, there is a new role for Jamie Carragher, who will front a new show called Extra Time on Sundays, after the classic Super Sunday programme. There is a new, if familiar, presenter in the form of Mark Chapman, who – like Kelly Cates – will combine presenting Match of the Day on the BBC with working for Sky. Chief sports officer for Sky, Jonathan Licht, said: 'This is a landmark season for Sky Sports and the Premier League. For the first time, we'll bring fans over 215 live matches, including every 2pm kick-off on Super Sunday. 'We're introducing new innovations like Multiview, new programmes like Super Sunday: Extra Time, and a new look schedule for Sky Sports News. From the moment the season kicks off, we'll be helping fans stay across all the biggest stories and making sure they never miss a moment of the action.'

Ozark star's thrilling first look at team-up with Marvel star gets rave response from fans
A new trailer for what could be one of the best new thrillers of the year coming soon on Sky has just been released Ozark star Tom Pelphrey is teaming up with Marvel icon Mark Ruffalo in the latest prestige crime drama arriving this year on Sky and HBO Max. Premiering in just under a month's time, Task is created by the Emmy-nominated creator of Mare of Easttown, Brad Ingelsby. A riveting trailer setting up the drama's intriguing premise was released today (Tuesday, 12th August), set to Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. The first footage of the gripping FBI investigation into a series of home invasions against the backdrop of a turf war and emotional family drama has received an overwhelmingly positive response from drama fans so far. A synopsis for the series reads: 'Set in the working-class suburbs of Philadelphia, an FBI agent (Ruffalo) heads a Task Force to put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspecting family man (Pelphrey).' Audiences are paying particular attention to Ozark breakout Pelphrey, who received acclaim and an Emmy nomination for his role as Ben Davis in the hit Netflix crime drama. One YouTube user commented under the trailer: 'This dude was legitimately so good in Ozark. I'm glad he's getting work.' Another agreed: 'Looking forward to seeing this due to Tom. He was so so SO good in Ozark.' Discussion continued over on Reddit, where one user wrote: 'I'm glad they seem to be advertising Tom Pelphrey as much as Ruffalo here. 'Pelphrey hasn't always picked the best projects, but I have never seen him turn in a bad performance.' To which someone else wrote: 'Pelphrey was outstandingly terrific in Ozark. And Banshee. Man never disappoints.' And a final user said: 'Mare of Easttown was one of the best Drama/Thriller shows ever. This looks even better, can't wait!' Alongside the two stellar leads, Task's all-star cast also includes Emilia Jones, Jamie McShane, Sam Keeley, Thuso Mbedu, Fabien Frankel, Alison Oliver, Raúl Castillo, Silvia Dionicio, Phoebe Fox, and Martha Plimpton. Thankfully, fans don't need to wait too long as the series is set to release in early September, with the UK premiere arriving just hours after the first episode drops on HBO.

Watch: Netflix teases new series of Meghan's lifestyle show
A trailer for the second series of the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle show has been released, in which she reveals, with mock disbelief, that Prince Harry does not like lobster. The minute-long teaser for the forthcoming series of With Love, Meghan was shared on social media on Tuesday evening, ahead of the Netflix show's full release on Aug 26. It comes just a day after it was announced that the Sussexes had signed a reduced, 'first-look' deal with the streaming giant, understood to be less lucrative than their original five-year contract. The trailer shows Meghan cooking and baking with celebrity friends as she gushes: 'I love the idea of just spending time together … and finding new ways to show people you care.' She adds: 'There are easy ways to show up, lovingly.' Cooking with chef Jose Andres, the founder of World Central Kitchen, she says: 'Do you know who doesn't like lobster? My husband.' A shocked Andres replies: 'And you marry him?' prompting Meghan to guffaw with laughter.
