Titan: The OceanGate Disaster examines the mindset of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and his determination to become a leader in oceanic exploration. Through whistleblower testimony, audio recordings and footage from the company's beginnings, the film offers fresh perspective on the implosion of the Titan submersible that commanded the world's attention in June 2023. Rush was among the five people who died aboard the vessel while it was off the coast of Canada during a voyage to the Titanic wreckage.
'There was no way of knowing when Titan was going to fail,' one individual says in the trailer. 'But it was a mathematical certainty that it would fail.'
Another participant in the project says in the footage, 'I thought Stockton was a borderline psychopath. How do you manage a person like that who owns the company?'
Producers for Titan: The OceanGate Disaster include Monroe, Lily Garrison and Jon Bardin. Liz Garbus, Dan Cogan, Kate Barry, Mala Chapple, Tommy Coriale, Jude Gerard Prest, Hannah Olson and Amy Herdy serve as executive producers.
Monroe is a filmmaker who won a WGA Award for his writing work on the Ron Howard-directed documentary feature Jim Henson: Idea Man.

Is The Diplomat season 3 releasing in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 7, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated June 7, 2025, 12:04 IST Netflix's political thriller The Diplomat , starring Keri Russell as U.S. Ambassador Kate Wyler, has kept audiences hooked with its intense drama, jaw-dropping cliffhangers, and sharp political intrigue. After the explosive Season 2 finale, fans are eagerly awaiting news about The Diplomat Season 3. One burning question is whether the show will return in June 2025. Here's everything we know so far. Is The Diplomat Season 3 Releasing in June 2025? As of now, Netflix has not confirmed an exact release date for The Diplomat Season 3, but the show is slated to premiere in fall 2025. While June 2025 falls within the first half of the year, multiple reports indicate that the release is more likely to occur between September and November 2025, aligning with Netflix's 'fall' window. The Diplomat Season 3 Renewal and Production Updates Netflix renewed The Diplomat for Season 3 in October 2024, before Season 2 even premiered, showing strong confidence in the series. Production began in June 2024, with filming taking place in London and New York City, and wrapped in mid-to-late March 2025, earlier than the initially planned March 20 date. This dual-location shoot reflects the show's commitment to capturing the global scope of diplomatic affairs. The early renewal and back-to-back filming with Season 2 (to avoid delays like those caused by the 2023 strikes) suggest Netflix is prioritizing a quicker turnaround. Executive producer Janice Williams noted that the show is 'almost finished filming' as of early 2025, with most work now in the editing room, further supporting a fall 2025 release. Additionally, Netflix announced a Season 4 renewal in May 2025, ahead of Season 3's premiere, ensuring that Kate Wyler's story will continue beyond the upcoming season.

TVLine's Performers of the Week: Matthew Goode and Chloe Pirrie
THE PERFORMERS | Matthew Goode and Chloe Pirrie More from TVLine The Cleaning Lady, Alert: Missing Persons Unit Both Cancelled at Fox Is Doctor Who Reunion Inevitable? Did Cleaning Lady Kiss Leave You Cold? How Would SNL Have Handled Trump/ Musk Break-Up? More TV Qs! Emmys Twist: Dept. Q Enters Drama Series Race at 11th Hour, Potentially Upending 2025 Contest (Exclusive) THE SHOW | Netflix's Dept. Q THE EPISODE | 'Episode 9' (May 29, 2025) THE PERFORMANCES | Edinburgh Detective Carl Morck and cutthroat prosecutor Merritt Lingard are, for all intents and purposes, miserable human beings — a fact Dept. Q spends much of its gripping nine-episode run leaning into. It's a testament to the acting strength of Goode and Pirrie (i.e., their respective portrayers) that we still found ourselves rooting for the pair despite their aggressive unlikability. And while both actors delivered tremendous work throughout the Scottish thriller, it was their performances in the finale — which found Carl and Merritt at their most introspective and mellow — that packed the biggest punch. For Queen's Gambit alum Pirrie, two moments — both of which found the actress uttering nary a syllable — stand out. First there was her wordless reunion with younger brother William following her brutal four-year captivity, during which Pirrie — using just her eyes — infused Merritt's aura of emptiness and despair with hope and relief upon seeing her healthy, smiling sibling. Later, when the sight of the elaborate tracking board detectives used to find her literally took Merritt's breath away, Pirrie ensured that audiences felt the full weight of the discovery that, yes, the young solicitor's life mattered — if not to her than to Carl and his fellow scoobies. Goode, meanwhile, produced a series of similarly silent rapid-fire payoffs during the episode's closing moments as Carl's myriad demons fell by the wayside like dominos amid quietly heartfelt run-ins with his numerous frenemies/foils at home and at work. Watching Carl's fury and indignation vanish, even if temporarily, proved to be Goode's most satisfying magic trick. Scroll down to see who got Honorable Mention shout-outs this week… We were on the lookout for Millie Gibson's performance in the Doctor Who finale, and Russell T Davies was dead on. To start, Gibson was excellent when Ruby confronted ex-beau Conrad about the Wish World he'd created, one not full of whisky and guns but people who were safe, warm and had families. (How did that speak to Conrad's upbringing/never-mentioned dad?) Later, Gibson did very heavy lifting when one glitch of the Wish World's undoing left Ruby the only person to remember the Doctor and Belinda's impossible daughter. Gibson's pained face communicated all of the heartbreak that the disappeared child's parents should have, but couldn't, feel. 'The gods are full of tricks,' Ruby sniffed, referring to the tyke's absence and Conrad's new, benign fate. Gibson's work peaked as an emphatic Ruby finally convinced her Doctor 'there's another world,' and in it lives 'a little girl, and she's beautiful. Her name's Poppy.' —Matt Webb Mitovich Some actors simply have a gift when it comes time to shed tears — we previously ran a list of TV's best weepers, in fact — and Martha Millan certainly possesses that talent. During The Cleaning Lady's Season 4 finale (now a series finale), Millan put that skill on display in an emotional confrontation between Fiona and ADA Joel Herman, in which Fiona begged Joel to understand the sacrifices Thony had made for her family. 'She was willing to scrub toilets by my side to keep her son breathing,' Fiona recalled, Millan's face suddenly etched with pain. 'Would you move halfway across the world… to scrub toilets to save your daughter? Of course you would. But you're lucky. 'Cause you don't have to.' The tremor in Millan's voice, her quivering bottom lip, the way she repeatedly reined in Fiona's tears before they overtook her — it all made for a moving and memorable scene, even in a two-hour finale packed with standout moments. — Rebecca Luther His roommates might label him a 'friend slut,' but Adults' Anton simply sees himself as 'a delight' — and Owen Thiele was indeed delightful as Anton faced the consequences of being too fun to be around this week on FX's riotous new comedy. In Episode 3, the gang learned a stabber was loose in their neighborhood, and of course, Anton had the guy in his phone already, as we learned when he (in one of the year's funniest TV scenes) scrolled to reveal hundreds of texts from random people like 'Trevor Medieval Times Knight.' Thiele was flat-out hilarious as Anton shrugged off his ability to make friends with anyone instantly… and then proceeded to befriend the cops investigating the stabber. Thiele even got to mix in some terror and tears as Anton had to face his greatest fear: telling someone he doesn't want to be friends with them. Adults already has a great ensemble in its freshman season, but Thiele might just be our new bestie. — Dave Nemetz Which performance(s) knocked your socks off this week? Tell us in the comments!

Dave Chappelle Reflects On 2016 Trump ‘SNL' Speech
Source: Arturo Holmes / Getty For comedian Dave Chappelle, the opening monologue he gave as the host of Saturday Night Live after the 2016 presidential election isn't something he regrets. He had the chance to reflect on it during a conversation with comedian Mo Amer for the Actors on Actors series for Variety. 'I haven't watched it in a while, but I remember it fondly,' Chappelle said at the 27-minute mark of the conversation, which was shared Wednesday (June 4) after Amer asked him about his perspective on it from back then to now. The monologue went viral, as Chappelle declared that 'an internet troll' had won the White House, also pointing out his history of sexual assault. He would then segue into how he felt after former President Barack Obama won in 2008. 'And it made me very happy about the prospects of our country,' he said then. 'So, in that spirit, I'm wishing Donald Trump luck. And I'm going to give him a chance. And we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one, too.''Oh, I remember that part,' Chappelle said. 'You know what? I look at it like a photograph. That's what it felt like in that moment. Now, if it ages well or not, I don't get mad if I look at a picture because it's not today. That's what it was at that time.' He continued, 'You might look at an old set and cringe, but you could just cringe because of how you were at that time. And in that sense, I'm fine with it.' Chappelle's conversation with Amer is one of the rare moments he's opened up for media – he has declined direct interviews in the wake of brushback from jokes he made against the transgender community in his 2021 Netflix special The Closer . But he and the Palestinian comedian bonded during the COVID-19 pandemic, making this a keen opportunity for the two to talk about comedy and their perspectives on the current times particularly with Amer's hit Netflix show. 'As you know, I notoriously don't like to do press,' Chappelle said, 'but today I wouldn't have missed, because it's you.' Check out the entire conversation above.
