Release of TMNT delayed by a year
The release of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2' has been postponed by a year.
The upcoming sequel from Paramount Pictures was originally set for release on October 9, 2026 but has now been pushed back to September 17, 2027.
The change in schedule has been caused by delays in animation physical production.
Filmmaker Jeff Rowe is directing the follow up to the 2023 film, which included the voice talents of Ayo Edebiri, Maya Rudolph, John Cena, Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Jackie Chan, Ice Cube and Paul Rudd.
Announcing the sequel, Paramount CEO Brian Robbins said: 'In the nearly 40 years since 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' launched into the zeitgeist, it has entertained generations of fans and only continues to grow. We are excited to grow 'TMNT's legacy in partnership with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg at Point Grey, and Jeff Rowe, who are innovating the franchise with their singular brand of humour and elevated storytelling for audiences everywhere, across virtually every platform.'
Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation, said. 'Reinvigorating this franchise has been years in the making, and we are thrilled to continue expanding the beloved 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' universe and bringing new adventures to families and fans.'
Rogen produced the first movie and voiced warthog mutant Bebop, with Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu and Brady Noon as turtles Donatello, Michaelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael respectively.
Chan voiced the Turtles' mentor Splinter, with Byrne as Leatherhead and Cena as Bebop's pal Rocksteady.
In addition, Hannibal Buress played Genghis Frog, Ice Cube as Superfly, Natasia Demetriou as Wingnut, Ayo Edebiri as April O'Neil, Giancarlo Esposito as Baxter Stockman, Post Malone as Ray Fillet, Rudd as Mondo Gecko, and Rudolph as Cynthia Utrom.

In good hands: Lessons I learnt from ‘Couples Therapy Australia'
Marryam Chehelnabi in 'Couples Therapy Australia'. Credit: Paramount Have you ever been curious about what really happens in couples therapy? Is it like in the movies, filled with screaming, sobbing and soft furnishings in neutral palettes? Or is it more clinical, sliding around on an uncomfortable faux leather couch with your equally uncomfortable partner next to you? Well, consider your questions answered with Couples Therapy Australia , a docuseries which follows three real couples each season as they seek help from clinical psychotherapist and absolute queen Marryam Chehelnabi. And yes, you read that correctly: real couples. Participants on this show explore their relationships with one another but also with themselves in extremely vulnerable ways on camera, and it is simply marvellous viewing. Couples Therapy Australia is a spin-off of the American show Couples Therapy , which follows the same docuseries format and is led by icon, legend, star and clinical psychologist Orna Gulnarik. Fans of the OG show might worry they'll feel separation anxiety from Orna, but let me reassure you that much like the couples in the show, we're in good hands with Marryam Chehelnabi. It's also refreshing to see Australian couples in this therapeutic context as well. While they may not be as loud or overtly dramatic as our beloved US couples from across the pond, the show is equally as gripping and packs the same punch. And with the cost of living being what it is, let's be honest, we can't all afford a regular therapy session. So, here's all the lessons I learned from Couples Therapy Australia instead. You might think that the therapists in Couples Therapy are just there to guide us through whatever drama is happening with the couple, but Chehelnabi's role is essential and fascinating. It's not just how she engages the couple during the session, drawing out their complex inner worlds, but also how she reflects on her role afterwards. One of the best parts of Couples Therapy Australia is seeing Chehelnabi process her work with her own clinical supervisor after the sessions. In the first episode, she says she feels 'so much responsibility', and it's an important reminder of the thought, time and energy that goes into working with these couples. If you've ever considered couples therapy as a way to win an argument, please reconsider. One of the things Chehelnabi makes very clear is that she must be neutral, and actually, it's that neutrality that makes the couples therapist position valuable in the first place. This is not your group chat of besties who are always on call to validate your feelings. 'I have to maintain that position of neutrality so I can be of use to them,' Chehelnabi says and similarly, she tells her clinical supervisor that she's 'not here to fix'. Instead of telling someone they're right or wrong, a couples therapist helps the pair communicate with one another and express their feelings. At various points in Couples Therapy Australia , we see the couples learn something new about one another. Each of these couples have been together for years, but they still have the capacity to surprise each other. For Brendon and Scott, there is an emotional reveal about a family history with alcohol. For one of the other couples, a conversation about clothing turns much deeper, ultimately leading to a reckoning with feelings of inadequacy. In both scenarios, our couples learn something new about their partner, an experience that can be uncomfortable and even jarring. What we see in Couples Therapy Australia is the many layers to relationships, and to the individuals in those relationships. While these couples may know one another intimately, they don't know each other completely, and therapy may change their perceptions and understandings of each other more than they expected. Like Chehelnabi's admission that she's 'not here to fix' a relationship, she also tells us that couples therapy isn't a 'quick fix' either. The couples need to be willing to put in the work – and it really is work. One couple in season one of Couples Therapy Australia are forced to switch their usual 'relationship roles', and while it's an empowering experience for one person, it's emotional and difficult for the other. For anyone thinking that going to a couples therapist means a psychologist waving a magic wand and fixing all your relationship issues, sorry, but think again. In each episode of Couples Therapy Australia , we see the labour that goes into working through issues like grief, divergent parenting styles, and alcohol dependence. And while Chehelnabi is essential, the bulk of that work has to come from the couples themselves. After many days spent binge watching both Couples Therapy Australia and the original Couples Therapy , both now streaming on SBS On Demand, I have a huge respect for the vulnerability and bravery of the couples on the show. However, I could simply never do it, because I know the faces I would pull on camera would haunt me forever. Couples Therapy Australia is now streaming at SBS On Demand. Couples Therapy Australia All four seasons of the US Couples Therapy are also streaming at SBS On Demand. Share this with family and friends SBS's award winning companion podcast.

Mass exodus at Channel 7 as three high-profile reporters defect to Network 10
The bloodbath continues at Channel 7 with not one, not two, but three of the station's reporters defecting to Network 10. Senior 7News Sydney reporter Bill Hogan, former foreign correspondent Amelia Brace, and Denham Hitchcock, a reporter and producer for the channel's flagship current affairs program Spotlight, have all jumped ship, according to The Australian. The trio will reportedly be working on a new, long-form investigative offering established by 10's head of broadcast news Martin White. The Australian reports that Brace and Hitchcock began their new roles on Monday after leaving Seven's Sydney offices 'within hours of quitting,' while Hogan is set to follow after working out a further three weeks notice. Network 10, which was bought by Paramount in 2017, is investing in an investigative unit to pursue long-form stories as part of its news offering. It's believed the new hires will be working on a program to rival the likes of the ABC's Four Corners, Nine's 60 Minutes, and Seven's Spotlight. Brace, who will reportedly be pocketing $270,000 for the role - a $50,000 increase on her salary at Seven, is said to have told colleagues on Friday, 'It feels off to not have an official 'last day' to say goodbye, but it's best for me to just fade away for now.' 'Stand up for yourselves, and each other … and think of me every time you have to find a f**king case study.' Meanwhile Hitchcock had only recently returned to Spotlight after leaving the program in 2023 for life on a boat with his family. He was part of the original team who established Spotlight in 2019 and rejoined again in February this year after returning to terra ferma. In a statement shared on social media, Hitchcock said he's excited to be joining the network his own father used to work for and hopes to help with 10's 'plans for the future'. 'Well here we go. I've switched channels,' he said on Monday, 'But also in a way - I've come full circle. I grew up watching my father on Channel 10 News every night. 'I had a bunk bed with eyewitness news stickers all over it - and can still sing the theme song.' The triple defection comes less than a month after the head of Seven's news division Anthony De Ceglie, left after just 13 months in the job. De Ceglie, who Seven chairman and AFL diehard Kerry Stokes had taken under his wing, left his position to take up the job the inaugural CEO of new rugby league team the Perth Bears. He reportedly told the newsroom the position was 'too good an opportunity to pass up,' and that he 'couldn't wait to build a sports team in his home state from the ground up'. His departure from Seven follows a series of failed news experiments in 2024, notably the introduction of a weekly satire spot with comedian Mark Humphries and an astrology segment. Staff morale also took a hit as experienced reporters and newsreaders were shed to cut costs.
