Joe Manganiello explains why he had to hit the gym for film 'Nonnas'
Joe Manganiello tells USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa why he had to hit the gym while filming his latest movie, "Nonnas," which is streaming on Netflix.
Disagreeing sisters, a rich boss and a weekend at a lavish private island are the elements that make up Netflix's new limited series "Sirens."
Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) thinks her sister Simone DeWitt (Milly Alcock) has creepy relationship with her boss, enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore). However, Simone is completely enthralled by Michaela's cult-ish life of luxury. That is, until Devon decides it's time for an intervention. Little does she know what a formidable opponent Michaela will be.
"Told over the course of one explosive weekend at The Kells' lavish island estate, 'Sirens' is an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class," says Netflix about the series.
Series creator and executive producer Molly Smith Metzler told Netflix's Tudum the "story has a lot of teeth.'
'There are real moments of drama, and it's going to make people uncomfortable," Smith Metzler said. "Operatic is a word I like to use to describe it. It's a true dark comedy — and it's got a Greek mythology vibe.'
However, Fahy notes viewers should not expect a murder mystery.
'Sirens is really a show about relationships and the way people desperately try to outrun their past,' the actor told Tudum.
Here's what to know about the "Sirens," including the release date, cast and trailer.

Meghan Markle's pal, who previously blasted the royal family, slams social media ‘harassment campaign' against duchess
Meghan Markle's pal has spoken out against the persistent negative narrative surrounding the Duchess of Sussex, saying she has endured 'ridiculous lies' about her for years. Christopher Bouzy, a longtime ally of the Sussexes, said the 'Suits' alum, 43, constantly faces 'destructive' trolling on social media. Bouzy, head of the social media analysis firm Bot Sentinel, revealed that his company's investigation into the hate-fueled comments targeting the former working royal uncovered a concentrated group of social media accounts responsible for the attacks. Advertisement 'It would be easy to laugh at such absurdity if it weren't so destructive,' the tech entrepreneur told Newsweek. 'Over the years, these ridiculous lies have cascaded into a full-blown harassment campaign against Meghan and her family.' 5 Meghan Markle's pal has spoken out against the persistent negative narrative surrounding the Duchess of Sussex, saying she has endured 'ridiculous lies' about her for years. AP Advertisement Bouzy appeared on the couple's 2022 Netflix series, 'Harry & Meghan,' where he discussed his findings about the harassment campaign against the As Ever founder. 'We cannot ignore the real-world impact that this kind of sustained conspiracy harassment has,' he added. The duchess was widely mocked last week after she shared a rare video of her and Prince Harry dancing in the hospital while awaiting the birth of their daughter Lilibet in 2021. 5 Christopher Bouzy, a longtime ally of the Sussexes, said the 'Suits' alum, 43, constantly faces 'destructive' trolling on social media. Netflix Advertisement The video, which Markle uploaded on June 4 in honor of Lilibet's fourth birthday, showed the former actress 'drop it low' while dancing to Starrkeisha's then-viral song, 'The Baby Momma Dance,' while cradling her baby bump. 'Imagine, for a moment, what it would feel like to have some of the happiest and most vulnerable moments of your life turned into ammunition for hate,' Bouzy went on. 'Every maternity dress and every baby video becomes 'evidence' for strangers obsessively trying to prove your pregnancies were a sham. It is sickening and cruel.' 5 The duchess was widely mocked last week after she shared a rare video of her and Prince Harry dancing in the hospital while awaiting the birth of their daughter Lilibet in 2021. meghan/Instagram Advertisement The social media analyst mentioned the 'suicidal thoughts' Markle had faced at 'the height of the abuse,' saying 'one doesn't have to stretch to see a link between that despair and the ceaseless torrent of vilification she endured.' 'Beyond the personal toll on Meghan and Harry, there's a broader societal damage to consider. When conspiracy theories like these flourish, they corrode our collective grasp on reality and decency,' he added. Markle had previously said on the 'Teenage Therapy' podcast in 2020 that social media abuse against her had been 'almost unsurvivable.' 5 The video showed Markle 'drop it low' while dancing to Starrkeisha's then-viral song, 'The Baby Momma Dance.' meghan/Instagram Appearing alongside her husband on the podcast, the mom of two said she was told that 'in 2019, I was the most trolled person in the entire world – male or female.' '[For] eight months of that, I wasn't even visible, I was on maternity leave with the baby — but what was able to be manufactured and churned out, it's almost unsurvivable, it's so big you can't even think what that feels like,' she went on. 'I don't care if you're 15 or 25, if people are saying things about you that aren't true, what that does to your mental and emotional health is so damaging.'

Netflix just dropped a trailer for its new star-studded romantic comedy series — and it looks like a hilarious watch
If you're a Netflix subscriber and a romantic comedy fan, you might be primed to fall in love with the streamer's upcoming series, "Too Much." That's based on the trailer, which the streaming giant just dropped for Lena Dunham's star-studded new Netflix rom-com this week, and promises to show the messy realities of falling in love. Check it out below: The trailer tees up the connection between our two leads — workaholic and New York expat Jessica (Megan Stalter) and Felix (Will Sharpe), a singer and so-called "walking series of red flags" — and shows off the sense of humor and some of the misadventures you can expect to see when the show hits the streaming service this summer. I've described "Too Much" as a "star-studded" show, and for good reason. Dunham described her cast as "an embarrassment of riches" (via Tudum), and you can expect to see appearances from Andrew Scott, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Fry, Jennifer Saunders, Rhea Perlman and many, many more in the show (you can find a full cast breakdown below). Excited? You don't have long to wait. The streaming giant has confirmed that "Too Much" will be available to stream on Netflix from Thursday, July 10. The "Too Much" trailer already helps sell the show's vibe and hints at some of the ups and downs that Jessica will face. If you want an even clearer picture of what to expect from the show, though, Netflix has already shared a full synopsis for the romantic comedy series. It reads: "Jessica (Megan Stalter) is a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties, reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows. When every block in New York tells a story of her own bad behavior, the only solution is to take a job in London, where she plans to live a life of solitude like a Brontë sister. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "But when she meets Felix (Will Sharpe) — a walking series of red flags — she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language?" In addition to the above names, "Too Much" also stars Adèle Exarchopoulos, Adwoa Aboah, Andrew Rannells, Daisy Bevan, Dean-Charles Chapman, Emily Ratajkowski, Janicza Bravo, Jessica Alba, Kaori Momoi, Kit Harington, Leo Reich, Michael Zegen, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Rita Ora, and Rita Wilson.
