The Anglo-American cultural clash continues, but "The Buccaneers" are no longer the invaders.
In Season 2 of Apple TV+'s regal drama, "The Buccaneers," a group of feisty young American girls, who "exploded into the tightly corseted London of the 1870s, setting hearts racing and kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash" in Season 1 now call England is their home and are in fact "practically running the place."
"Last time we got a taste of England. This time we're in for a veritable feast," says Apple TV+ about the upcoming season, adding the next chapter will explore "sisterhood, romance, wit, steamy love affairs, extravagant gowns, spectacular landscapes and jaw-dropping plot twists," against the backdrop of musical hits by Chappell Roan, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, and The Last Dinner Party among others.

Jon Hamm Prefers to Play the Bad Guy: ‘Superman Can Be Kind of Boring'
Jon Hamm does not have as much fun playing the good guy. In an interview with W, the 'Mad Men' alum explained that even though he has the look of a Clark Kent/Superman type he does not feel as compelled by boy scout or the hero. He prefers more of the 'sinner' role. 'I think people can relate to characters making bad decisions, because we've all made them,' Hamm said. 'My history of characters isn't exactly the saints; it's more on the sinner side of the equation. But Superman can be kind of boring. No offense to the new Superman [David Corenswet], who I hope is a delightful person.' Hamm has kept to his word when it comes to playing characters with a darker side. He has been a recurring villain in Apple TV+'s 'The Morning Show' where he plays tech billionaire Paul Marks. The most recent season ended with the exposure of his illegal business practices being threatened by Jennifer Aniston's character Alex. The actor double-dipped at Apple TV+ and starred in 2025's 'Your Friends and Neighbors' – which he also serves as executive producer on. TheWrap reviewer Diedre Johnson called the show 'delightfully watchable.' 'Although good in most of his roles, if there's one type Hamm has nailed, it's the uber successful businessman,' Johnson wrote. She added: ''Your Friends & Neighbors' is not only a dark comedy but also a cynical look at wealthy and aspiring one-percenters at mid-life. A strong cast of talented actors bring magic into the dynamic nine-episode drama.' The post Jon Hamm Prefers to Play the Bad Guy: 'Superman Can Be Kind of Boring' appeared first on TheWrap.

Tyler Perry sued for sexually harassing 'The Oval' actor over 4 years
Tyler Perry sued for sexually harassing 'The Oval' actor over 4 years Show Caption Hide Caption Love Tyler Perry? Emory University has a course on his life, career Dr. Tameka Cage Conley has created a course in Emory University's Oxford College on the life of filmmaker, actor and philanthropist Tyler Perry. Ariana Triggs, USA TODAY Tyler Perry has been sued by an actor alleging Perry threatened the man's series regular role on TV and for several years used his "professional power for sexual leverage." Derek Dixon on June 13 filed a lawsuit against Perry – an actor, writer and director known for films from the wide-ranging "Madea" franchise as well as the new Netflix thriller "Straw" – alleging quid pro quo sexual harassment, work environment harassment, sexual assault and battery, retaliation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to the complaint, obtained by USA TODAY June 17, Dixon is seeking $260 million due to allegedly being targeted by Perry, who he said sought "a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic with Mr. Dixon." Perry initially approached Dixon with career opportunities and cast him in the BET+ show "Ruthless," the lawsuit says. Dixon eventually ended up on the BET show "The Oval," which is Dixon's biggest onscreen credit; he appeared in 85 episodes from 2021 to 2025, per IMDB. Perry then subjected Dixon "to escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation when Mr. Dixon did not reciprocate Mr. Perry's unwanted advances," Dixon claims. This led to Dixon allegedly quitting in Season 6. TMZ was first to report the news. Tyler Perry's lawyer accuses Derek Dixon of 'setting up a scam' Perry's lawyer denied the allegations in a statement shared with USA TODAY. "This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam," said attorney Matthew Boyd. "But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail." Accuser: Tyler Perry 'provided vulnerable men with acting positions', expected 'gratification' Dixon says he first met Perry while working at Perry's studio opening party in September 2019 and was offered a chance to audition for one of Perry's TV projects. Months later, in January 2020, Perry allegedly made his first physical advances on Dixon. Describing Perry as "a powerful media mogul," Dixon leveled claims of an alleged "sustained pattern of workplace sexual harassment, assault, and retaliation." Throughout his lawsuit, Dixon leveled claims of "sexual aggression," including over text, and provided screenshots. "Using his influence, Mr. Perry provided vulnerable men with acting positions, roles, show contracts, cars, and money. Once the object of his desire was hooked, Tyler Perry would then put them in fear of losing it all unless they engaged in Mr. Perry's perverted desire for sexual gratification," Dixon's lawsuit reads. "Mr. Perry would easily ''ill off' a character in a show of an actor who failed to indulge Perry's sexual fantasies," the suit continues. In turn, "Fearing that his career would end before it began, Dixon put up with these comments and continued to maintain that he was not the sexual type," the actor alleges. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence, RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline offers free, confidential, 24/7 support in English and Spanish via chat and at 800-656-4673.

'Lilo & Stitch' actor David Hekili Kenui Bell dies at 46: 'A beautiful spirit'
'Lilo & Stitch' actor David Hekili Kenui Bell dies at 46: 'A beautiful spirit' Show Caption Hide Caption 'Lilo & Stitch' trailer: Disney's furry alien goes live action Newcomer Maia Kealoha stars as a Hawaiian girl who makes friends with a furry ball of alien mayhem in Disney's live-action "Lilo & Stitch." Actor David Hekili Kenui Bell, who recently made his silver screen debut in Disney's live-action "Lilo & Stitch," has died. He was 46. Bell died on June 12, his family confirmed in a press release shared by his agent Lashuana Downie on June 17. A cause of death was not disclosed, although the release notes Bell's death was a "peaceful passing." The actor, who previously made appearances on the shows "Hawaii Five-0" and "Magnum P.I.," played the character "Big Hawaiian Dude" in the adaptation of the 2002 animated film about a young Hawaiian girl who befriends an alien fugitive. The movie premiered on May 23 and has grossed $858.6 million worldwide to date. 'Lilo & Stitch' reimagined: The biggest changes from Disney's original movie "David was celebrated for his talent and presence in front of the camera and admired for the aloha he brought into every space he entered," Bell's family said in a statement. "Our 'ohana' is deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and respectfully asks for continued aloha and privacy during this time of remembrance and healing." Downie, who praised Bell as an "extraordinary talent," added in a separate statement: "David brought light, kindness, and a beautiful spirit to all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be profoundly missed by everyone whose lives he touched." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé With regard to memorial services for the actor, Bell's family said additional information will be "shared in the coming days." In his review of the film, USA TODAY's movie critic Brian Truitt described "Lilo & Stitch" as an "excessively earnest Disney Channel movie compared with the delightfully unhinged 2002 cartoon." 'Lilo & Stitch' review: Disney adaptation falls short of first film's unhinged brilliance "The updated 'Lilo' pulls back on the sci-fi action to focus instead on the emotional story of two orphaned human siblings," Truitt wrote. "That old 'Ohana means family' riff still hits right in the feels, though what this latest outing lacks most is the first film's electric charm. ... This 'Stitch' settles on being a fine retread instead of a rabble-rousing romp." Contributing: Brian Truitt, USA TODAY
