Yara Sameh
Luke Evans (Beauty And The Beast), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), and Daniel Zovatto (Woman of the Hour) have joined Russell Crowe in action-thriller "Bear Country", helmed by Derrick Borte (Unhinged).
Nina Dobrev and Teresa Palmer also star in the ensemble movie which is filming in Australia.
"Bear Country" follows an ageing but formidable club owner, Manco Kapak (Crowe) who has been robbed by a masked gunman. Now, his aspirations of selling his club and riding off into the sunset alongside his girlfriend appear more distant than ever. Cartel bosses are breathing down his neck and a young upstart has been posing as the new guy in town eager to purchase the club.
Evans will play Joe Carver, an undercover federal agent posing as a potential buyer for Kapak's club in hopes of infiltrating the cartel he's washing money for.
Paul will play Jeff, an unassuming community college teacher who gets roped into a dirty cop's robbery scheme. Zovatto will play Rodriguez, the cartel's top man in Los Angeles.
"Bear Country" is produced by Mark Fasano (Marlow) of Nickel City Pictures, Jeffrey Greenstein (The Hitman's Bodyguard) of A Higher Standard, Deborah Glover (Sleeping Dogs) of G2 Dispatch, and Mark Bower and Bruno Mustic of Life & Soul Pictures.

"Mayfair Witches" Renewed for Season 3
Yara Sameh AMC and its sibling streamer AMC+, have picked up a third season of "Mayfair Witches", which is part of its Anne Rice universe. Along with the renewal, the cable network announced that "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" alum Thomas Schnauz is joining the series as co-showrunner alongside Esta Spalding. Season three will be set in Salem, Massachusetts — where the infamous witch trials of the late 17th century took place — and will delve deeper into the mythology of witchcraft and introduce new characters, AMC 'The drama and complexities of the Mayfair family continue to be an intriguing and enchanting source of story, and expanding that story against the backdrop of Salem, a historical haven of witchcraft, is an exciting next chapter for this series and our larger Anne Rice Immortal Universe,' said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. 'Tom Schnauz has a storied history with AMC, and we're elated to have him join the talented Esta Spalding and our Mayfair cast for a season that will explore a larger world of witchery and Mayfair family secrets as we continue to build out this dynamic franchise.' Season two ended with Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) attaining a new level of power, albeit at a sizable cost. Spalding told The Hollywood Reporter after the finale that she hoped to explore that more in a third season. 'When you have the power she has you can't just, as she says, sit on your hands and act like a good girl,' Spalding said. 'So I think there's something in a season three where we would be exploring Rowan's quest for that feeling again.' Spalding said in a statement about the renewal, 'I am thrilled to welcome Tom Schnauz to our team for the third season of Mayfair Witches. A contemporary twist on the Salem story, it promises to be our most delicious yet.' Added Schnauz, 'I'm incredibly excited to reunite with both AMC and [executive producer] Mark Johnson on Mayfair Witches. The work I've done so far with Esta Spalding on season three has been fantastic and fun, and we're hoping that translates to the screen for fans and new viewers of the show.' "Mayfair Witches" also stars Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa and Alyssa Jirrels. Spalding and Schnauz will executive produce season three with Johnson — who oversees all three shows in the Rice-verse for AMC — Michelle Ashford and Tom Williams. As for AMC's other Anne Rice series, "Interview With the Vampire" is slated to debut its third season in 2026.
