It's time for "Sex and the City" fans to say one final goodbye.

The revival premiered on HBO Max in late 2021, featuring three of the four original stars, minus Kim Cattrall's promiscuous Samantha Jones. Following the lives of the original "SATC" women 11 years after the end of the original series, "And Just Like That" was originally billed as a one-off miniseries before being picked up for two more sets of episodes. Parker shared an emotional tribute to Carrie Bradshaw, who she said "dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years" in an Instagram post announcing the end of the series. "I know others have loved her just as I have," she said to fans. Here's what to know about catching the final episodes of the series. What time is the series finale of 'And Just Like That'?

'The Worst Movie Of 2025': Ice Cube's War Of The Worlds Hits 0% On Rotten Tomatoes

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. It's rare for a piece of entertainment to bring the entire internet together anymore. Usually, there's some contrarian corner of the web ready to defend even the most maligned release — or to tear apart something that's being widely praised. But when it comes to the new "War of the Worlds" adaptation (did we even need another one?) that's now available on Prime Video and starring Ice Cube, let's just say that it's uniting critics and audiences in a way that you hardly ever see anymore, with most agreeing that this is easily the worst movie of 2025. Where to even begin with this one: Much of it consists of Ice Cube reacting to disaster scenes playing out on a computer screen. The Amazon product placement in the movie, from delivery drivers to drones to gift cards, is so overt it's cringe-worthy. The movie's tagline ("It's worse than you think") works on multiple levels, and the bottom line is that there's no mystery at all as to why this "War of the Worlds" version is currently sitting on a 17% Rotten Tomatoes audience score and a 0% critics' score. Obviously, it begs the question: How did this get made?

Needless to say, Ice Cube isn't able to salvage what one Letterboxd user has described as a "screenlife fever dream that feels like it was written by someone featured on 'Doomsday Preppers'." It's not just bad. It's bad in a way that arguably ought to offend audiences, that a company would think so little of you it assumes you'll make time to watch this. As one YouTube commenter summed up perfectly: "When the star of 'Hunger Games' hates your movie, you know you messed up." Prime Video may have banked on star power (the cast also includes Eva Longoria and Clark Gregg) and a nostalgic title, but instead, they've unleashed a cultural event so bad that the internet can't stop talking about it. Audiences on Rotten Tomatoes have torn into it with ferocity: "Possibly the worst film I've ever tried to watch, did they just call it in whilst sat at home on a rainy Sunday?" "Were the actors paid in free Prime memberships?" "Nothing makes sense... You need an IQ below potato to not start laughing at every attempt made by the writers." My favorite zinger, though, comes from this YouTube commenter: "It's rare I miss the logic and clear thinking of the 'Sharknado' movies." Because, obviously — when a movie manages to make people nostalgic for "Sharknado," you know something's gone so wrong. Read the original article on BGR.

'South Park' Scrubbed from HBO Max This Week: Here's Why

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. South Park will be leaving HBO Max after airing a provocative episode criticizing President Donald Trump and invoking a response from the White House last month. However, the departure from HBO Max has nothing to do with its recent depiction of Trump, as it was originally scheduled as part of South Park's new deal with Paramount+ to offer the show exclusively on that platform. Why It Matters South Park made the news last month when it kicked off its 27th season on July 23 with an episode featuring a parody of Trump. During the episode, Trump was mocked for suing people who have different political opinions as well as his physical appearance. It also showed Trump in a relationship with Satan.

AaronP/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images What To Know Why is South Park Leaving HBO? South Park's exit from HBO Max occurred on Tuesday, August 5, but it was not the result of any political issues with the show. The satirical animation, which often pokes fun at pop culture and political events, was previously scheduled to move its library of episodes to Paramount+ under a new multiyear licensing arrangement. Previously, HBO Max viewers had access to all of South Park's TV seasons, while Paramount allowed fans to watch event "specials." Newsweek reached out to HBO Max for comment via email. Donald Trump South Park Episode: What Happens in the Episode? During the most recent Trump South Park episode, Sermon on the Mount, the president is depicted in a romantic relationship with Satan. He's also made fun of for his physical appearance and for suing people he disagrees with. The White House issued a statement in response to the episode, saying the show "hasn't been relevant for over 20 years." The episode was South Park's most watched season premiere since 1999, and ratings were up 68 percent over the season 26 premiere. Kristi Noem Subject of Recent Episode Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will likely be the butt of a joke in this week's episode of South Park. In a teaser for the upcoming episode on Wednesday, South Park shows an animated version of Noem done up with makeup and standing by an ICE vehicle, holding up her gun. "'Got A Nut': When Mr. Mackay loses his job, he desperately tries to find a new way to make a living," South Park summarized the upcoming episode in a new post on X. Noem, the former governor of South Dakota, has supported Trump consistently through his reelection. She also gained widespread attention when she admitted in a memoir that she shot and killed her family dog for being "untrainable." Trump nominated Noem to serve as DHS secretary and she was confirmed by the Senate in January. Since then, Noem has implemented Trump's immigration policies, ramping up deportations of undocumented immigrants and earning the name "ICE Barbie." Newsweek reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment via email. What People Are Saying White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement last month: "This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention, … President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history—and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak." Podcaster Joe Rogan said about the Trump episode of South Park during a July podcast: "There's so much chaos, there's so much madness. They did a Donald Trump on with Satan. It's f****** hilarious. They haven't given a f*** since the beginning, and it's the greatest show of all time." What Happens Next The next episode of South Park will air Wednesday, August 6 at 10 p.m. EST on Comedy Central. Fans of the show can now also watch South Park exclusively on Paramount+.
