Meet Hunter Doohan, who plays Tyler in Netflix's Wednesday
Wednesday as the lovable barista Tyler Galpin – but, spoiler alert, he is later revealed to be the Hyde, a shape-shifting killer. In the first half of the second season, Tyler is more complex and unhinged than ever, spending much of his screen time confined to a psychiatric hospital.

The 31-year-old actor began his career with his first speaking role in Westworld in 2018, followed by Apple TV+'s Truth Be Told. He made his mark with a stand-out performance as Adam Desiato in Your Honor and more recently as the serial killer Muse in Daredevil: Born Again.

Doohan isn't slowing down any time soon, with roles secured in Evil Dead Burn, the next instalment of the famed horror franchise, and upcoming indie film, The Wilderness. Here's what else you need to know about the Wednesday actor.
He didn't know he was auditioning for Daredevil

Hyde is not Doohan's only time stepping into the shoes of a killer. Earlier this year, the actor portrayed Bastian Cooper – also known as Muse – a terrifying villain in Marvel's Daredevil: Born Again. He revealed in an interview with IndieWire that before landing the role, he had no knowledge about the series or character.
'That one was just one audition,' he shared. 'We talked about Netflix being kind of tight-lipped –
Marvel is that, times 1000. I didn't know the character. I think I might have not even known the show when I did the first audition.'
He moved to LA from Arkansas

Dimepiece's Brynn Wallner on her favourite hotels, films – and her Timex collab
After working for the content team at auction house Sotheby's and falling in love with watches, New York-based Brynn Wallner established Dimepiece in 2020. What started as an Instagram account is now one of the most respected resources for women – and men – who have a genuine interest in the world of watchmaking. Also a curator of vintage timepieces available for purchase on the website, Wallner recently teamed up with Timex on a re-edition of the 1995 Intrepid watch worn by 90s icon John F. Kennedy Jr back in the day. Here, Wallner talks about this latest project and her favourite finds from New York and around the world. What I'm watching … Alain Delon and Romy Schneider on the set of La Piscine, directed by Jacques Deray. Advertisement I've been addicted to the Criterion Collection this summer. My TV consumption goes way down during the warmer months, so if I'm sitting down in front of my TV, I want to feel just as fulfilled as I would if I were at a party or on a long, dreamy walk. Most of my favourites are in French, which I use to supplement my nearly 800-day streak on Duolingo. Here are some highlights: The Sandpiper (Vincente Minnelli, 1965) starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton – a heart-wrenching story about forbidden love and a woman's right to independence. Water Lilies (Céline Sciamma, 2007) – an intimate French film about teenage friendship, sexuality and obsession. La Piscine (Jacques Deray, 1969) – a summer staple starring Alain Delon and Romy Schneider at their best. Gorgeous and unnerving. Watch this and then watch Luca Guadagnino's 2015 remake, A Bigger Splash. Stranger by the Lake (Alain Guiraudie, 2013) – Also gorgeous and unnerving. Don't watch this if you're not into seeing naked men. Also French. My favourite Instagram accounts

The film has become the most-viewed animated film ever on the platform since its release in June, and 'Golden' is making a strong bid for the top of the Billboard Hot 100 after placing no 2 on the chart last week. Netflix is entering the song into the 2026 Academy Awards in hopes it can also bag them an Oscar. Ejae at the premiere of Netflix's K-pop Demon Hunters in June.

Ejae provides the singing voice for the character Rumi in the movie. Advertisement Ejae, who co-wrote 'Golden' with Mark Sonnenblick, is also behind several other songs from the film's soundtrack, including 'Your Idol', 'How It's Done', and 'The Hunter's Mantra'. Its original soundtrack album has marked the highest debut for a soundtrack in 2025, per Rolling Stone, and Ejae has gained nearly 100,000 Instagram followers in a month.

Shin has starred in over 300 movies and is also known for his generous donations to the film industry.

She was a trainee at SM Entertainment Ejae in Brooklyn in 2019: she studied at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Photo: @ejae_k/Instagram Ejae was a trainee at SM Entertainment for around 10 years, but despite extensive training and attempts to debut with both a group and as a solo star, she was ultimately deemed too old to debut as a traditional K-pop idol. When users on TikTok learned of her story, they accused the industry of being shallow, with one writing: 'They don't recognise talent, they just want beautiful faces. She is a great talent!'
