"Bridgerton" Star Nicola Coughlan to Lead "I Am" Season 4
'I Am,' the BAFTA-winning female-led drama anthology series that has starred the likes of Kate Winslet, Letitia Wright, Lesley Manville and Samantha Morton, has been recommissioned by the U.K.'s Channel 4 for a fourth season.
The two-part 'I Am Helen' will this time be led by Nicola Coughlan ('Derry Girls,' 'Bridgerton,' 'Big Mood'), who is set to star opposite Joe Cole ('Gangs of London,' 'A Small Light').
'I Am' has been created. written, produced and directed by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Dominic Savage and produced by Emmy-winning Me+You Productions since the first series that debuted in 2019.
Savage has always developed the stories in creative collaboration with its leading actors, with the story of 'I Am Helen' developed alongside Coughlan.
'It's an absolute honour to be part of telling the next 'I Am…' story alongside Dominic Savage — a singular talent and a storyteller deeply committed to exploring the breadth of the female experience,' said Coughlan. 'To follow in the footsteps of the brilliant women who've collaborated with him on this series feels truly surreal, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be embarking on this journey.'
'I Am Helen' follows the standout success of three previous 'I Am' series, authentically exploring the personal experiences of women through what is described as 'provocative, emotionally raw storytelling.' In 2023, Winslet led the double BAFTA-winning 'I Am Ruth' to critical acclaim.
'I Am' became Channel 4's most successful new 10 pm drama in six years when it debuted in August 2019, with Vicky McClure starring in 'I Am Nicola.' Morton starred in the BAFTA-nominated 'I Am Kirsty,' and Gemma Chan starred in I Am Hannah. Series two was equally successful, starring Suranne Jones in the BAFTA-nominated 'I Am Victoria,' Wright in 'I Am Danielle,' and Lesley Manville in 'I Am Maria.'
'I Am' is produced by Me+You Productions, Majumdar, and Savage. Executive producer is Richard Yee, with Gemma Boswell, commissioning editor from Channel 4 drama. The series is co-funded by Sky Studios, and international sales are handled by NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution. It will air on Channel 4.

Yara Sameh Veteran Egyptian actor Lotfy Labib was transferred again on Tuesday to the intensive care unit (ICU) in critical condition after suffering from another health scare. This was the veteran actor's second time this month to be hospitalised. On July 13, Labib was admitted to the ICU after suffering from a sudden health crisis. Born on August 18, 1947, Labib is an Egyptian stage, television, and film actor. The acclaimed actor has worked profusely, in many supporting but memorable roles, with over 200 film and television credits. Through many of his screen appearances, the veteran actor has performed admirably and has shown himself to be one of the strongest performers of his generation. On March 29, Labib announced his retirement from acting due to his health condition. "In my current health condition, if I get a role, I won't be able to play it because I prefer that my image remains as it was to the fans," he said. He made his final onscreen appearance in the 2024 film 'Ana W Ibn Khalti' ("Me and My Cousin"). Hanady Mehanna, Bayoumi Fouad, Sayed Ragab, Mimi Gamal, Sara Abdelrahman, Ali Loka, and Enaam Salousa round out the cast. Ahmed Saleh directed from a script by Doaa Abdel Wahab and Amr Abu Zeid.

It will release on Disney+ on August 1. The upcoming show will be set in Wakanda, the home of the Black Panther which was extensively explored in Coogler's two Marvel movies. The show will follow 'the adventures of brave Wakandan warriors throughout history. In this globe-trotting adventure, the heroes must carry-out dangerous missions to retrieve Vibranium artifacts from the enemies of Wakanda. They are the Hatut Zaraze and this is their story.' The voice cast includes Winnie Harlow, Cress Williams, Patricia Belcher, Larry Herron, Adam Gold, Lynn Whitfield, Jacques Colimon, Jona Xiao, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Gary Anthony Williams, Zeke Alton, Steve Toussaint, and Anika Noni Rose. The last time fans saw Wakanda was in 2022's 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' the sequel to Marvel's 2018 best picture nominee. That movie introduced the underwater world of Atlantis and featured the returns of Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett, Winston Duke, Danai Gurira and Martin Freeman. Wakandans have popped up in other places in the MCU, including an appearance by Ayo, played by Florence Kasumba, in the Disney+ series 'The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.'

The 'Wakanda' series is the first in a multi-year overall TV deal with Coogler's Proximity production company and The Walt Disney Company, with other TV projects in currently in development for the MCU. 'Eyes of Wakanda' is helmed by director/executive producer Todd Harris, who was first a storyboard artist on 'Black Panther' and 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' then as an illustrator on 'Sinners' before directing 'Eyes of Wakanda.' The show is executive produced by Coogler, Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, and Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt.

My Chemical Romance Debut New Song at L.A. Show
Yara Sameh 'The Black Parade' marched through Los Angeles over the weekend, as My Chemical Romance played back-to-back shows at Dodger Stadium on July 26-27. The shows come as part of the alternative emo rock group's 'Long Live the Black Parade Tour' — the band's first stadium trek where it plays its era-defining 2006 album in its entirety. The Dodger Stadium setlist included the full record followed by hits from the band's other releases, covers and a never-before-heard song. The group's performance of 'Black Parade' was a full-on theatrical production. To the beat of a militaristic drum, with actors depicting despots and soldiers, the band took the stage donned in black marching band uniforms evoking the album's original concept art. An energetic crowd swayed, sang and moshed along to the iconic 14 tracks while cheering along front man Gerard Way, who played the part of the album's protagonist in a redemptive and fatalistic arc. After fireworks, a wardrobe change and a cello interlude, the band took a second stage in the middle of the crowd for an additional set. The song selection varied from Saturday to Sunday night, but both included cuts off of 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge' and 'Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.' On Saturday, the band also debuted an unreleased single titled 'War Beneath the Rain," a powerful rock ballad about memory and fate. Fittingly, Way dedicated the debut performance to Doug McKean, an audio-engineer who collaborated with My Chemical Romance on the song and also worked on 'Black Parade.' McKean died of a brain hemorrhage in 2022. Way introduced the song saying, 'I don't remember how long ago it was, but before the band broke up, we had a studio in North Hollywood and we were making a record that never came out. This was one of the songs we really loved from it. It was just us in the studio with our friend Doug McKean. He was there recording it. His family's here tonight. I want this to go out to them.' 'War Beneath the Rain' marks My Chemical Romance's second unveiling of new music since the band reunited in 2019. In 2022, the band released 'The Foundations of Decay,' marking their first single in nearly a decade. It's yet to be determined whether 'War Beneath the Rain' will receive a studio release, or whether the band will showcase more unreleased tracks along the tour. However, fans at Dodger Stadium were quick to capture the song and share videos of the performance across social media. Next, My Chemical Romance heads to Arlington, TX on August 2 before touring up and down the east coast through September. The tour then takes a pause until the band heads to Latin America in 2026, with dates lined up in Santiago, Chile, and Mexico City, Mexico. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
