Catalina Sandino Moreno on ‘From' fan theories: ‘Whenever you think that you're in the right lane, you're not'
From star Catalina Sandino Moreno is completely in the dark about the show's mythology and story arcs. "Season 3 finished in such a way that it just opened up so many doors, and you don't know where the story is going to go," she tells Gold Derby.
"I have no idea where my character is going to go. I'm very curious. I've asked [creator] John [Griffin] and [producers] Jack [Bender] and Jeff [Pinkner]. I'm like, 'Just give me a little,' and they're like, 'Nope,'" she continues. "Well, we just have to wait and see what's going to happen. They're very secretive, as they usually are. Even in Season 4, they're not giving any crumbs."

Justine Lupe on the unexpected chemistries that power Netflix's 'Nobody Wants This'
The horror drama is set in a decaying old ghost town in middle America that appears to be under the control of an unknown malevolent force that traps anyone who arrives. The unwilling residents struggle to stay alive while plagued by nocturnal creatures lurking in the surrounding forest, as they search for secrets hidden within the town and beyond, in the hope of finding a way out.
Oscar nominee Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace) stars as Tabitha Matthews alongside onscreen husband Eion Bailey as Jim Matthews, and Lost alum Harold Perrineau, who plays Boyd Stevens, the town's self-appointed sheriff and de-facto mayor of the ramshackle town of terrified survivors. The series' large ensemble cast includes Hannah Cheramy, Simon Webster, David Alpay, Elizabeth Saunders, Scott McCord, and Ricky He, who are all forced to live as a community of strangers desperate to escape.

The series began in Season 1 with the arrival of the Matthews family, who soon discover they are mysteriously trapped in the town with no apparent escape. Tabitha, still grieving the death of their youngest child, experiences and witnesses numerous horrors throughout the first two seasons. Her ordeal intensifies in the latest season as she uncovers more about the town's sinister secrets, her own crucial connection to the malevolent creatures and the mysterious force possibly controlling them, and perhaps a way to finally escape the nightmare that has engulfed her and her family.
By the Season 3 finale, it's revealed that Tabitha and Jade (Alpay) are reincarnations of Miranda and Christopher, key figures from the town's past who once tried, and failed, to save the town's children from an evil force. Their return suggests a recurring cycle in which they're fated to confront the town's evil again. This connection resurfaces when they play a specific melody on Miranda's violin, summoning the mysterious children in white who whisper "anghkhooey," meaning "remember," a moment that unlocks memories of their past lives and cements their renewed purpose. Tabitha also envisions a daughter that she and Jade once had in a past life, adding emotional weight to their mission. These revelations deepen their bond and clarify their roles in the battle to break the cycle, unravel the town's curse, and free its inhabitants once and for all.
"That was a huge thing for me, because they didn't tell me that I was the reincarnation of Miranda. That's why I'm so confused about what's going to happen next season," Sandino Moreno says. "I love the relationship between Tabitha and Jade, for the mere reason that Tabitha is married to someone that is very logical, and he sees everything within those eyes, unlike Jade, who is a believer,' she explains. 'Jim is very rational, and she wants to rationalize everything that happens with her, like when she went down the tunnels, and she sees all the monsters, she comes out and is like, 'I saw the monsters,' and he's like, 'Well, did you really? Maybe they were not there. Maybe they're playing with our brains.' He sees what's happening in town so different from what she feels that is happening. And I feel that's the connection between Jade and Tabitha that they see their world the same. And I can't wait to see how are they going to develop this season because they have a lot of similarities in how they see the world."
From is MGM+'s most successful series to date following its strong third season, with surging viewership numbers and deafening social media buzz. Ahead of the Season 3 finale that aired last fall, the network demonstrated its confidence in the show's future, handing it an early renewal, with production on Season 4 set to begin later this year for a 2026 premiere.
Fans have been buzzing about where the show is headed next season, with theories spreading online about the various storylines that have been teased over three seasons, picking apart every potential clue and easter egg along the way. Asked if she has any theories of her own, the actor says she doesn't even try to guess anymore. "I don't do theories I don't understand. I have a 16-year-old, and he was watching and he's like, 'What about this and this and this?' and I'm like, 'Oh, my God, you're right, maybe,'" she says with a smile. "And then, when we did Season 2, I turned to him and said, 'We're not going to do this again, we failed miserably,''" she says, adding that "whenever you think that you're in the right lane, you're not!"
Sandino Moreno is happy to leave that to the show's mastermind creator and showrunner, noting that he has planned out the show's entire plot, and will keep the show's secrets close to his chest until they're revealed in future episodes. "John knows how the show is going to end. He has it very, very clear. He knows the whole folklore about the kids and the stones and the tree, all of it. But he doesn't want to share with anyone!'
From is airing now on MGM+.

The 'Ginny & Georgia' Season 3 Ending, Explained: "No On In The Miller Family Will Be The Same"
season 3 has come to an end, and thank goodness season 4 is on its way because that season 3 ending? Crazy! Make sure you go and watch the new episodes on Netflix before reading ahead (or rewatch, if you already binged the whole thing), because we have all the tea you need to know. Creator Sarah Lampert told the main character of Ginny & Georgia isn't either of these women — it's their relationship. 'For Season 3, the question I asked is, 'What would it take to break Georgia?' And I mean that coming from a place of love for Georgia, because I think she needs to break to build. So Season 3 was about getting her to a place of being able to build her back differently in Season 4.' Let's get into it! After Georgia gets arrested for murder at the end of Ginny & Georgia season 2 (in the middle of her wedding, no less), we spend all of season 3 wondering what exactly is going to happen to our favorite Georgia peach. The case is being broadcast to the entire country — and both of Georgia's kids are dealing with the consequences of her actions. And when Austin (Diesel La Torraca) is called to the stand and admits to seeing the murder, he actually testifies that he saw his dad Gil (Aaron Ashmore) commit the crime, not Georgia. 'It's an out-of-body moment,' actress Brianne Howey tells . 'Georgia was fully resigned to the fact she was going away, so this completely rips the rug out from under her.' So this means Georgia doesn't go to jail at the end of season 3, and we can thank Ginny for masterminding the whole situation. 'Ginny is fully turning into Georgia by the end of the season,' Antonia Gentry adds. 'Georgia giving up [on fighting the charges, thinking she's finally been cornered into surrender] is something that really ignited the flame in Ginny that's like, 'No, you're not allowed to give up. I've never seen you give up. That freaks me out, so now I'm going to have to be you in order to fix this. Because you won't be you.'' Georgia's free to go, but it's a lot more complicated than she — or us as the viewer — expected. 'Once Georgia realizes how her kids manipulated this situation, it's quite sobering," Brianne says. "It's also the final straw that leads Georgia to finally want to go to therapy, to finally break the cycle. She's now seeing in very real terms what her actions have done to her children, because now her children are re-creating her actions.' And, believe it or not, there's plenty happening outside the case. Ginny finds out she's pregnant after sleeping with Wolfe (Ty Doran) and decides to get an abortion. Paul (Scott Porter), Georgia's fiancé, ends up leaving her when the trial — and Georgia using Ginny's pregnancy test to lie about her own pregnancy — becomes too much for him. Plus, Ginny's dad Zion (Nathan Mitchell) is filing for joint custody, while a now-single Georgia decides to sleep with Joe. Whew. 'Joe is one of the few people she's always felt comfortable around, and we get to see the most genuine Georgia with Joe,' Brianne tells . 'With Joe, we see a sliver of who Georgia could have grown up to be if she never got pregnant at 16, if she never joined the Blood Eyes, if she never killed anybody." And speaking of appears we'll have a new addition to the Ginny & Georgia cast next season because Georgia is actually expecting! But whose baby is it? The creators know, but they're not spilling the beans. "Everyone in the [writers'] room has worked on the show a prior season. So the group really knows the gang," creator Sarah Lampert tells . "Glinski and I entered this season [and] we were like, 'Okay, we know whose baby it is. Change our mind.' Then we spent a whole day with the writers, and it was contentious. There was a debate over how the storylines could go based on whose baby it was and all that. But no, we've landed on whose baby it is. I'll say that." Meanwhile, Max and Marcus are dealing with their own problems when Max tells their parents about her brother's drinking problem. She wants him to go to rehab but their mom is worried missing summer school will force him to repeat 10th grade. "We put the burden of Marcus onto Max and we see how much she does deeply care about everyone in her life, but she's neurodivergent and she doesn't always have the tools to get what she wants, which is connection," Sarah Lampert tells . "Her worry is she can be too much. I think we see that this season." "She has such a responsibility to fix things and to make sure everyone she loves is okay, and she takes that burden on every single day, even if people don't appreciate it," Sarah Glinski adds. "You can see her parents this season really put that burden on her shoulders a lot to care for Marcus, and that's really hard to carry that every single day." Don't worry Peaches — Ginny & Georgia season 4 is on the way! But you can expect a lot of surprises to come your way. "No one in the Miller family will be the same after this season," Sarah Glinski tells . "We talk about Georgia changing, but Ginny has changed, Austin has changed, and there's no going back."

A ‘White Lotus'-Inspired Coastal Italian Stunner Opens Inside the Thompson Palm Springs
Celebrity-drawing restaurateurs Marissa and Matt Hermer open their next restaurant, Bar Issi on June 6 inside the Thompson Hotel in Palm Springs, their first expansion outside of Los Angeles. With a similar color palette of Italian reds, blues, greens, and earth tones, Bar Issi's maximalist style, courtesy of Tom Parker of Fettle Design, is poised to become a beloved part of Palm Springs' dining scene. According to Marissa Hermer, the look and feel were inspired by the wildly popular Season 2 of HBO's the White Lotus , which took place on a luxe Sicilian resort, as well as San Luis Obispo's iconic overdesigned Madonna Inn with its floor-to-ceiling patterns and textures. Bar Issi's original inspiration comes from the short-lived Issima that opened as an indoor-outdoor ground-floor restaurant inside the West Hollywood La Peer hotel, serving chic pastas, pizza, and wood-fired seasonal produce. In October 2024, the Hermers also opened French Mediterranean restaurant Chez Mia in the old Ago space on Melrose, cementing their status in West Hollywood (Olivetta is undergoing renovations, while their first restaurant, the Draycott, closed at the end of 2024). Issima eventually morphed into Charbel Hayek's Ladyhawk, and the Hermers brought the Issima concept over to the desert, where it somehow feels more lived in. The 180-seat space joins the eastern Mediterranean-inflected Lola Rose Grand Mezze and Hall Napa Valley Tasting Room on the Thompson property. Marissa says she always prefers to serve the 'kind of food I like to eat,' with old money coastal Italian fare intersected with Californian sensibility. Everything is shareable, unfussy, and tasty — never too challenging but also a few steps beyond the basic. Hamachi carpaccio comes with truffle, yuzu, and ponzu, while a Sun Gold tomato gazpacho arrives just in time for Palm Springs' sweltering months. Squash blossoms filled with feta cheese and ricotta provide a warm appetizer while shrimp linguini with Calabrian chile gets a bright spritz of lemon. Wood-fired pizza ranges classic pepperoni with 24-month Parmesan and roasted mushrooms with fontina, taleggio, and thyme. Easy mains include lamb chops, roasted salmon with peas and yogurt, or citrus-marinated skirt steak. Given it's the second time the Hermers have occupied a hotel space, Bar Issi's versatile menu and fun-first approach should play well with its key location in Downtown Palm Springs, which already boasts a vibrant nightlife scene. Though located nowhere near an actual coastline, Bar Issi's escapist ambience and party-like atmosphere fit the bill for the Thompson Hotel. Bar Issi is open 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 4:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Sunday 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. for dinner. Friday to Sunday, it'll serve brunch from 11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. with bar happy hour in between brunch and dinner. It'll be located inside the Thompson Hotel Palm Springs at 410 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA, 92262. Reservations are available on Resy . Sign up for our newsletter.
