Cosmo x Prime Video's ‘The Map That Leads to You' Screening Recap

Cosmo x Prime Video's ‘The Map That Leads to You' Screening Recap

Cosmopolitan3 days ago
On August 13 (aka the day TS12 dropped), Cosmopolitan joined forces with Amazon Prime Video for an event that rivaled Taylor Swift's New Heights appearance: a screening of Madelyn Cline and KJ Apa's new film, The Map That Leads to You.
Celebs, influencers, and Cosmo premium-tier members gathered at Crosby Street Hotel in NYC for cocktails, treats, photo ops, and a full showing of the movie, which was followed by a Q&A sesh with KJ Apa, hosted by Cosmo Senior Special Projects Director Madeleine Frank Reeves.
Oh, and Madeleine also got the chance to chat with another one of the film's stars, Madison Thompson, who joined the festivities. 'It's been so much fun,' she said of filming the movie. 'I feel like I have a new group of best friends. So it's always special to get to spend time with each other and get to celebrate something special like this.'
And celebrate we did!! Aside from KJ and Madison, guests at the screening included artists, influencers, creators, and even public figures like Nev Schulman and Tayshia Adams—and of course, our Cosmo premium-tier members (who, btw, get access to merch, events, and other fun perks like this!).
After the screening and Q&A, guests got the chance to mingle, imbibe, and listen to some tunes. And obviously, everyone went home with a goodie bag, which included a copy of Cosmo's Anniversary Issue featuring KJ and Madelyn.
The Map That Leads to You will be available to stream globally on Amazon Prime Video starting August 20, so mark your calendars!

Taylor Swift's website has ANOTHER mysterious countdown. Why?

She's back at it again, folks. For the third time in a week, there is a countdown on Taylor Swift's official website. Last Monday night, a timer counted down to the announcement of her twelfth studio album, The Life Of A Showgirl. On Wednesday, a countdown -- which involved Eras Tour stage-shaped keyholes and the mysterious orange door from her Eras Tour "Karma" performance -- marked the time until her appearance on the New Heights podcast and official album cover, track list and release date of Showgirl. The New Heights appearance gave viewers a rare glimpse into the mind of the singer/songwriter as she discussed her record-breaking tour, getting her music back, sourdough bread and her new album. This time, a countdown has popped up on Monday morning that ends, or expires as she puts it, at 2 PM ET on August 18. Whereas the previous countdowns featured an orange glitter background or black background with the orange door, this countdown has shifted to a purple glitter background. The Google confetti effects that had been orange when you searched for the 14-time Grammy winner are now also purple, but it's unclear what the shift means. We should hopefully have more answers in a few hours when the countdown hits zero. Until then, it's anyones guess what Swift is up to this time.

New countdown on Taylor Swift's website points to 2 p.m. ET. What could it mean?

Taylor Swift is starting off the week with another countdown sending fans into an excited whirlwind. The shimmering purple, four hour countdown popped up at 10 a.m. ET. The color reflects her "It's Rapturous" variant of her 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl." While nothing has been confirmed, the countdown could be leading to the first lead single announcement of her diamond-dripping, Elizabeth Taylor era. Or maybe a music video? What about a documentary announcement? The timing of 2 p.m. ET on a Monday could also signal a dazzling merchandise drop. Taylor Swift 'New Heights' updates: Eras Tour inspired new album, no extra tracks, more 'The Life of a Showgirl' The pop icon made her much-anticipated two hour appearance as a guest on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast on Aug. 13. Moments after the episode dropped, her official website unveiled the cover of her next project, an image of Swift submerged in bathwater wearing a bejeweled corset. "The Life of a Showgirl" will have 12 tracks, a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter and a release date of Oct. 3. Four variations of the album were available for sale over the weekend: "Sweat and Vanilla Perfume," "It's Frightening," "It's Rapturous" and "It's Beautiful."

Severance Season 3: Latest updates on release date, cast and plot details

By Aman Shukla Published on August 18, 2025, 19:40 IST Last updated August 18, 2025, 19:42 IST The buzz around Severance Season 3 is electric, and fans are itching to dive back into the eerie, mind-bending world of Lumon Industries. After that jaw-dropping Season 2 finale, the internet's been flooded with questions about what's next for Mark, Helly, and the gang. Here's a rundown of the latest updates on the release date, cast, and plot details. Severance Season 3 Potential Release Date No official release date for Severance Season 3 has been announced yet, but there's good news—things are moving faster this time. The three-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2 (due to Hollywood strikes and meticulous rewrites) left everyone antsy, but the team's promising a shorter wait. Ben Stiller, the show's executive producer and director, spilled some tea on the New Heights podcast, saying, 'The plan is not to wait three years.' He also hinted at an active writers' room during a PaleyFest LA panel, suggesting scripts are already in the works. Based on production timelines and the show's tendency to drop in early months (Season 1 hit in February 2022, Season 2 in January 2025), a late 2026 or early 2027 premiere feels realistic. Severance Season 3 Expected Cast The core Severance crew is expected to return, bringing their A-game to Lumon's sterile hallways. Here's the lineup based on what's out there: Adam Scott as Mark Scout: The heart of the show, grappling with his innie-outie drama. That finale choice? It's gonna haunt him. Britt Lower as Helly Riggs/Helena Eagan: Her rebel spirit and shocking lineage make her a must-watch. Zach Cherry as Dylan George: The fan-favorite with big energy and a bigger vendetta against Lumon. Dichen Lachman as Gemma/Ms. Casey: Her escape from the testing floor sets up a wild arc. Tramell Tillman as Seth Milchick: The company man showing cracks in his loyalty—expect some fireworks. Patricia Arquette as Harmony Cobel: Her obsession with Lumon screams 'she's not done yet.' Jen Tullock as Devon Scout-Hale: Mark's sister, anchoring his outside world. Michael Chernus as Ricken Hale: The quirky self-help guru fueling the resistance. Severance Season 3 Potential Plot Season 2's finale, 'Cold Harbor,' left fans reeling with cliffhangers. Without spoiling too much for those still catching up, expect Season 3 to pick up right where things left off, diving deeper into Lumon's creepy corporate underbelly. Here's what's on the horizon: Gemma's New Chapter: Her escape from Lumon's testing floor opens a messy emotional arc. Dichen Lachman told Glamour she's torn as a fan over Mark's split loyalties between Gemma and Helly. Will Gemma fight back or go into hiding? Lumon's Dark Secrets: Season 2 peeled back some layers, but the company's true endgame—severance's purpose, Kier Eagan's ideology—remains foggy. Erickson teased GQ that departments might team up to challenge Lumon's 'divide and conquer' strategy. Innie vs. Outie Tensions: Mark's innie and outie are at war, especially over love. Adam Scott told Entertainment Weekly the finale's choice is 'heartbreaking' for Gemma and Outie Mark. Reintegration's a big question mark—Erickson hinted to the LA Times it could 'decimate' one side of a person's identity. Milchick's Rebellion?: Tramell Tillman's character is loyal but fed up with management's treatment. Erickson told io9 Milchick's starting to question the system, which could spark a bigger reckoning.
