Apple TV+ has handed a straight-to-series order to The Dealer, a new drama series headlined by executive producers Jessica Chastain and Adam Driver.
The project, which hails from Tony Award winner Sam Gold, is described as 'a biting exploration of power, class, seduction and culture set inside the glittering world of the high-end art market,' per the official logline. The series is 'told through the eyes of an aspiring super gallerist,' played by Chastain, 'and the tangled relationship with her most gifted and unnerving artist,' played by Driver.

The Dealer marks the second collaboration between Chastain and Apple TV+; the Oscar winner is also set to lead The Savant, an eight-episode limited series inspired by a true story written by Andrea Stanley and published in Cosmopolitan. (Though a synopsis for the show remains under wraps, the lead for that August 2019 Cosmo story reads, 'You've never heard of her, but somewhere in America, a top secret investigator known as the Savant is infiltrating online hate groups to take down the most violent men in the country.') She previously led the 2022 Showtime mini George & Tammy, which earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.
Driver, meanwhile, is a three-time Emmy nominee for his breakout role as Adam Sackler in HBO's Girls (2012-17). He went on to earn a pair of Oscar nominations, for 2018's BlacKkKlansman and 2019's Marriage Story.

How Catherine Zeta-Jones Feels About Husband Michael Douglas' Retirement Plans

How Catherine Zeta-Jones Feels About Husband Michael Douglas' Retirement Plans originally appeared on Parade. Catherine Zeta-Jones has some thoughts before her husband officially calls it quits in Hollywood. The Academy Award-winning actress, 55, opened up about Michael Douglas' decorated career in a new interview with The Sunday Times amid the his past comments about how he has no real intentions again and that he just likes "to watch my wife work." "Michael has definitely earned the chance to slow down. But I never say never," Zeta-Jones said in the interview published Saturday, Aug. 16. "He's his father's son and loves to work — let's just say, 'retirement' is a flexible concept." The celebrated Welsh performer won Oscar gold for Chicago (2002), and Douglas, 80, has won two trophies himself : one as a producer of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and one as Best Actor in a Leading Role for Wall Street (1987). The Times calls Douglas "Hollywood royalty," being the offspring of the late Tinseltown icon Kirk Douglas, who died in 2020 at age 103. "He was a flirty little thing," Zeta-Jones told the publication about Kirk. "He was wonderful and he was very fond of me, as I was of him. I miss him. They [Kirk and his wife, Anne] left a philanthropic legacy that was way beyond movies." Whether Michael does slow down on the big screen or not, he and Zeta-Jones can both agree that he'll be playing a lot of golf going forward, The Times reports. Zeta-Jones has her own way of relaxing: homemaking, specifically organizing and stocking her numerous wardrobes. "I go to all the vintage stores in Paris. I buy things that you are probably never going to wear, like a gorgeous cape, just great pieces," the Wednesday star told The Times. "I am loving classic Yves Saint Laurent at the moment. I get excited about evening dresses. For me, a pair of jeans is a pair of jeans. Spending £200 on a white T-shirt? Nah. But when it comes to couture, beautiful beading, the artistry… I love the theatre of fashion."

Catherine Zeta-Jones and husband Michael Douglas 'are very similar'

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas "are very similar". The Hollywood couple will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary later this year and Catherine believes that their like-minded attitudes have enabled their marriage to stay strong. The 55-year-old actress told The Sunday Times: "Two celebrities together make ten. It's just the way it is. There's two versions of the story and there's two make-believes. We don't listen to the crap that is written about us, that's the main thing. "And we respect our space, we're independent spirits. We are very similar; we were born on the same day, 25 years apart. We're not afraid to be verbal, to express ourselves. I wear everything on my sleeve and so does he, which is good." Douglas, 80, revealed earlier this year that he didn't plan to act again as prefers to "watch my wife work" but Catherine wouldn't be surprised if her husband, the son of late Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas, returns to the big screen. The Welsh actress - who has son Dylan, 25, and daughter Carys, 22, with the Wall Street star - said: "Michael has definitely earned the chance to slow down. "But I never say never. He's his father's son and loves to work - let's just say, 'retirement' is a flexible concept." Catherine found fame in the British TV series The Darling Buds of May but explained that she was frustrated by the "great beauty" roles she was subsequently offered. The Oscar-winning actress said: "I don't consider myself a great beauty. "I always thought of myself as attractive and interesting, but never a great beauty." Zeta-Jones plays Morticia Addams in the Netflix series Wednesday and confessed that she didn't know who co-star Jenna Ortega, 22, was initially, but soon realised that she is a "phenomenon". The Chicago star said: "When we first met I didn't know who she was. It took me one moment on set to work out who she was going to be. It was very clear that she was a phenomenon. "I mean, forget the show, just her as a young woman, as an actress, the way she is. She has a smart head on her shoulders." Catherine added that she is at a stage of her life where "everything is a bonus". She said: "I have had such a great and varied career. I've worked with great directors, great actors. Everything now is a bonus."

Michelle Yeoh promises new musical treats are on the way in Wicked: For Good

Michelle Yeoh has promised fans new musical treats are on the way in Wicked: For Good. The 63-year-old actress plays Madame Morrible in the sequel to the hit witch movie, and has now hinted it will feature new songs. She told People ahead of the arrival of the highly anticipated second installment of the Wicked film series: 'I think you're getting some new songs.' Michelle quickly added with a laugh: 'I didn't say that.' The Oscar-winning star, known for her work in both Hollywood and Chinese cinema, spoke while promoting two projects. Alongside Wicked: For Good, she is also lending her voice to the English-language version of the Chinese blockbuster Ne Zha II, in which she plays Lady Yin, the mother of the rebellious young demigod Ne Zha. The films' dual releases have kept the actress busy throughout 2025, with Wicked: For Good set to premiere on 21 November and Ne Zha II hitting theaters on 22 August. The new songs in Wicked: For Good were composed by Stephen Schwartz, who created the music and lyrics for the original Broadway show. He confirmed the additions to People at the 2025 Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony, saying: 'I have permission to say there are two new songs in the movie because the storytelling demanded it. 'One of them happens to be for the character of Elphaba. The other one happens to be for the character of Glinda.' Michelle also reflected on her ongoing connection with the Wicked cast. She said: 'I was just at Hollywood Bowl (for) Cynthia,' she said, referring to Cynthia Erivo's performance as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Michelle added: 'I love her. She was so amazing.' Discussing Ne Zha II, Michelle said about her enthusiasm for the project: 'I had seen Ne Zha II in Chinese, and even at that time I thought, 'I hope they do an English version, because you want little kids to be able to see it and understand'. 'So when they did come to me and said, 'Would this interest you?' I jumped right in.' She also praised the film's faithful adaptation of Chinese mythology, noting the balance between traditional storytelling and contemporary accessibility. Michelle said: 'The storytelling is so amazing because they have kept intact the classic myth of how it was before, but added that contemporary way of storytelling. 'So that's the bridge for the generational gap. Like we say, it is timeless, but timely.'
