Doctor Who fans left 'scared' and shocked after 'leak' ahead of series finale
This series has treated viewers to Ncuti Gatwa's 15th Doctor trying to get new companion Belinda Chandra (Verada Sethu) back home to Earth.
The future of the series beyond this one remains up in the air, with no confirmation of a new series yet.
However, a supposed 'leak' ahead of the series finale is gaining traction online, with fans shocked.
Newsquest will not reveal the details of the alleged 'leak' going around as not to spoil the show.
There is also no confirmation that any of it is true.
However, fans have taken to social media to air their thoughts over the 'leak'.
One said: "Okay I've seen the leak I assume everybody is talking about with Doctor Who.
"I won't say anything on the tl, but my general thoughts: it's sitting with me in less than fun way."
Another said: "I just woke up and opened Twitter and I'm hearing talk about a big doctor who leak what's going on I'm scared."
A third posted a short video showing Freema Agyeman's former Doctor Who character Martha Jones saying: "Oh my god!"
One doubted the rumours, though, saying: "Read the Doctor Who leaks and while some of them line up with what's happened so far, I really don't believe a certain few of them.
"Feels like the leaker maybe threw in some red herrings as to not let the BBC catch on to the leak until recently."
The BBC declined to comment on the Doctor Who rumours when approached for comment.
The final episode of this series of Doctor Who, The Reality War, will be shown on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 7.10pm on Saturday, May 31.
It is the second part of a two-part finale, following Wish World from the week before.

Chris Hemsworth questions 'cost' of extreme biohacking as he opens up about Alzheimer's risk
The Thor star, 41, says there is a 'fine line' between trying to live forever and enjoying life for as long as possible. Chris Hemsworth has spoken out against turning to extreme methods to live longer, as he reflects on his own journey with ageing and wellness. The Thor star, 41, discovered in 2022 that he is at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, following a gene test that revealed he has two copies of the APOE4 gene. The result arrived while he was filming the first season of Limitless, a National Geographic series in which he explored ways to age well and improve longevity. Speaking to the BBC, Hemsworth said that while the discovery prompted him to take better care of his health, he has "no interest to explore" the world of biohacking. Biohacking refers to a range of experimental approaches to "hack" human biology in order to improve health and wellness. The practice can involve small changes like dietary adjustments or using wearable technology, to the more extreme interventions of using technology or drugs to alter bodily functions. In recent years, American entrepreneur Bryan Johnson shot to fame for his biohacking interventions, which include spending millions of dollars on treatments, tests and scans, and taking numerous supplements and pills every single day. The 47-year-old claims he is trying to reverse ageing and wants to extend his lifespan. He documented his attempts and his anti-ageing regimen in the 2020 Netflix documentary Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever. But Hemsworth questioned whether it was worth committing to a life of "isolation" in order to extend one's lifespan, adding that while he plans to "put energy into health and wellness", he also wants to enjoy everything life has to offer. "You want to live a longer and better life, but at what cost? You could have your exact routine, but there's no point doing all of that if you're isolated and lonely at home," he said. He added that his own approach to longevity was to keep an open mind to how "different pieces of science resonate at different times in your life". Hemsworth also commented on the idea of living forever, and he doubted that anyone would ever be able to figure out how to cheat death. "Suffering comes from denial of our inevitability of death – we all have an expiration [date]," he said. "If you were told you had 200 years guaranteed, you'd become more complacent and reckless. "The idea that life can be taken away at any second is a beautiful reminder to appreciate every moment." Hemsworth's increased Alzheimer's risk The Australian actor previously revealed what a "shock" it was to receive the "intense" news about his risk of developing Alzheimer's due to his genetic make-up. He told Men's Health of the changes he made to improve and protect his health after the discovery, including reducing the amount of exercise he does. The move came as a surprise to fans, as Hemsworth is known for his muscular stature particularly in his role as Thor, but he explained that he felt it was important to "make time for stillness". Instead of the intense body-building exercises he was accustomed to, Hemsworth said he was "lifting less frequently", opting instead for "more cardio and endurance workouts". He also told the outlet that he is sleeping more regularly and having ice baths. Hemsworth appears in the forthcoming second series of Limitless: Live Better Now, which will be available to stream on Disney+ from 15 August. He lives in Byron Bay, with his wife, actress Elsa Pataky, and their three children, daughter India Rose Hemsworth and twin boys Sasha and Tristan Hemsworth.

Orcas Pretend to Drown Each Other in Rare Training Session Caught on Camera
Orcas are called 'killer whales' (even though they're technically dolphins) for good reason. They're the ocean's top predators, hunting down everything from great white sharks to blue whales—the largest animal in the world. But orcas aren't born killers. It's a skill they learn from their elders and, as new evidence suggests, practice on each other. Parenthood, a new five-part BBC wildlife series narrated by David Attenborough, includes the first known footage of orcas learning how to drown their prey, as first reported by The Times. The training session is led by a matriarch and consists of one orca pretending to be the prey so the others can surround it and practice pushing its blowhole under the water. Video Shows Orcas Left Behind in Algae-Filled Tanks Months After French Park Shut Down 'Specialised underwater gimbals and tow cameras were used to bring cameras alongside hunting orcas underwater. This technology allowed the crew to travel at the same speed as the orca hunting pack and provided new insights into their behaviour,' a BBC spokeswoman told The Times. 'The practice-hunting behaviour appears to show members of an orca family submerging the head of one individual to prevent it from breathing—the technique used by killer whales to hunt large whales. This practice-hunting behaviour has never been filmed before.' The footage was captured near Western Australia's Bremer Bay, the same region where, in April, horrified tourists watched 60 orcas devour an endangered blue whale. After the practice session, the series shows the orcas using their skills while hunting a blue whale caught by surprise. Blue whales can hold their breath for somewhere between 10 and 30 minutes. Orcas training their young how to hunt is just one of many parenting moments featured in the wildlife series, which was filmed over three years in six continents and 23 countries. 'I think it's got all the feels—it's got great behaviour, it's got great emotion, it's got great humour, it's got relatable parental dilemmas. And it has a nod and a wink towards 'helicopter parenting' and 'snowplow 'parenting'—all those different terms that we bandy about as to what type of parent you are,' Jeff Wilson, the director, told the BBC. The series footage required 'an observational, non-invasive' approach, he added. 'We're very proud of what we've put on screen.' The show aired on BBC One on August 3 and is available on BBC iPlayer. We don't know yet when the U.S. release will take place, but I'm sure those of you in the States can't wait. After all, who wouldn't want to hear Attenborough's mesmerizing voice declare, 'Success for all parents has perhaps the greatest of consequences. It ensures the future of life on our planet.'

Landman Season 2: Release date, cast and plot details
By Aman Shukla Published on August 5, 2025, 19:54 IST After a buzzworthy debut that lit up Paramount+, Landman is gearing up for a high-octane return. Season 2 is officially happening, and fans are already counting the days. With filming wrapped in Texas and a stacked cast—including some exciting new faces—there's a lot to unpack about what's coming next. So, if you've been dying to know when Billy Bob's back in boots or how the oil drama heats up, here's the full scoop on Landman Season 2. When Is Landman Season 2 Coming Out? Mark the date: Landman Season 2 premieres November 17, 2025, only on Paramount+. Shooting kicked off in April 2025 down in Texas, and they've moved fast—just like Season 1's production. Expect weekly drops, not a binge-style dump, so get ready to settle in for another slow-burn season of oil-soaked chaos and high-stakes drama. Some earlier rumors hinted at a 2026 release, but Paramount+ has confirmed the fall 2025 date. So, no need to wait too long to dive back into the drama-filled world of derricks, deals, and danger. Who's In and Who's Out? The Cast of Season 2 Landman Season 2 brings back the heavy hitters and adds some fresh energy to the mix. Here's who you'll see: Billy Bob Thornton returns as Tommy Norris, the smooth-talking crisis fixer caught between the oil game and his messy personal life. His role? Still the heartbeat of the show. Demi Moore is back as Cami Miller, now stepping up big-time after her husband Monty's death. With Tommy's help, she's about to learn just how brutal the business of oil can be. Andy Garcia is also returning as cartel boss Galino—his presence adds serious edge to the show. Joining him is Stefania Spampinato , playing his wife, which should deepen the cartel drama even more. Ali Larter reprises her role as Angela Norris, Tommy's unpredictable ex-wife. Expect more emotional fireworks there. Familiar faces like Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie, and Colm Feore are all sticking around too, keeping the ensemble strong and consistent. New this season: Sam Elliott joins the main cast, though his role's still under wraps. Thornton's called him a mentor, so expect something impactful. Also joining: J. Smith-Cameron ( Succession ), Guy Burnet, and Miriam Silverman—bringing new characters, new tension, and more conflict to the oil patch. One person you won't see? Jon Hamm. His character, Monty Miller, met a dramatic end in the Season 1 finale, so his time in West Texas is officially over. What's the Story in Season 2? While Paramount+ hasn't dropped an official synopsis yet, we've got a pretty good idea of what's coming—thanks to the explosive Season 1 finale and a few behind-the-scenes teases. Tommy's Juggling Act: He's still trying to balance shady oil deals, cartel ties, and family drama. His dynamic with Cami deepens as he helps her navigate the industry Monty left behind. Cami Steps Up: After losing her husband, Cami finds herself thrown into the deep end at M-Tex Oil. With no real experience, she leans on Tommy—but expect her to carve out her own path, too. Cartel Trouble: Tommy's alliance with Galino is only going to get messier. With Andy Garcia's cool, calculating presence and Stefania Spampinato's new character adding to the intrigue, there's bound to be danger on both sides of the law. Fresh Faces, New Fights: The new characters aren't just background noise. J. Smith-Cameron's role could tie into corporate or legal drama, while Guy Burnet's engineer character might stir things up on the ground level. Family Fallout: Tommy's family life remains a mess. His ex-wife Angela is still around, and his daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) continues to be a crucial emotional anchor—or perhaps a breaking point. And as with all Taylor Sheridan shows, don't expect this to stay on the surface. Season 2 will likely dive even deeper into themes like power, greed, loyalty, and the environmental price of all that black gold beneath the dirt.
