Jessica Chastain, Adam Driver to Star in Apple Series "The Dealer"
Yara Sameh
Jessica Chastain and Adam Driver are set to star in the series 'The Dealer' at Apple TV+.
The project has been given a straight-to-series order in a competitive situation.
It is described as 'a biting exploration of power, class, and culture set inside the glittering world of the high-end art market, 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.'
Lucas Hnath is the writer behind the series and serves as executive producer.
Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer will executive produce for Media Res, while Chastain and Kelly Carmichael will executive produce for Freckle Films.
Driver and Alan Poul also executive produce along with Sam Gold and Sarah Lunnie. Arianna Anderson will serve as co-executive producer. Gold is also directing.
The series is produced by Media Res, which also produces the Apple shows 'The Morning Show,' 'Pachinko,' and 'Extrapolations.'
This marks just the second regular television role of Driver's career. He previously broke out with his role in the critically-acclaimed HBO series 'Girls,' in which he starred throughout the show's six season run.
Driver is primarily known for his film roles, having earned two Oscar nominations to date — one for 'Marriage Story' and another for 'BlacKkKlansman.'
He is also known for his role as Kylo Ren in the new 'Star Wars' trilogy and has starred in other films like 'Megalopolis,' 'House of Gucci,' 'The Last Duel,' 'Silence,' and 'The Report.'
'The Dealer' also marks Chastain's second series with Apple. She is also leading the upcoming limited series 'The Savant,' which was filmed in 2024 and is currently awaiting a release date.
Chastain also starred in the limited series 'George and Tammy' opposite Michael Shannon, in which they played George Jones and Tammy Wynette. She won the Academy Award for best actress for her work in 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' in 2022.
She has been nominated two other times — for 'Zero Dark Thirty' and 'The Help.' Her other notable film roles include starring in 'The Good Nurse,' 'Armageddon Time,' 'Molly's Game,' 'Interstellar,' and 'A Most Violent Year.'

Enjoy Delicious & Easy Sweet Potatoes Cake
Pasant Elzaitony This Flourless Sweet Potato Ginger Cake is a warm, comforting dessert with a perfect balance of spices and natural sweetness from the sweet potato. It's moist, and full of rich flavors, making it a great option for those looking for a healthier treat Here's a simple recipe for a delicious sweet potato cake: Ingredients: - 2 large sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 tsp baking powder - 1 tsp baking soda - 1 tsp salt - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened - 2 large eggs - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. 4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. 5. Gradually mix in flour mixture, then mashed sweet potatoes. 6. If using walnuts, fold them into batter. 7. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. 8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 9. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. 10. Once cakes are cool, you can frost and decorate them as desired. Tips: - Use cooked and mashed sweet potatoes that are still slightly warm for best results. - Don't overmix batter, as this can result in dense cake. - If you want a moist and tender crumb, make sure to not overbake. Variations: - Add a hint of spice with cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. - Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a richer flavor. - Top with cream cheese frosting for a tangy contrast.

Top 2025 Summer Fashion Trends: Dark Colors & Unconventional Cuts
Pasant Elzaitony The summer fashion trends for this season are defined by sophisticated and standout details. Dresses, skirts, pants, and tank tops are seen everywhere. However, what truly sets this season apart is how these pieces are paired together. The '90s trend is making a comeback, particularly with the look of pants under dresses and skirts which is an iconic '90s fashion statement. • Unconventional Colors Summer is usually known for its bright, light colors, but this season dark tones are making a bold statement. Shades like brown and burgundy are among the top used colors for the summer palette, along with deep navy blue. At the same time, pastel hues remain popular, and all shades of yellow are trending, from soft butter yellow to vibrant canary. Floral tones, from pink to fuchsia, are also in vogue, alongside enchanting shades of green. • Standout Prints This summer brings prints typically reserved for winter, like large and small plaids, into the spotlight. Stripes, both vertical and horizontal, are also trending, along with polka dots. Animal prints, such as leopard, zebra, and snake, are prominent too. Just choose one pattern and incorporate it into your look whether it's a bag, belt, pants, or a top. • Unconventional Details It seems fashion designers are determined to break out of their comfort zones and take 2025 fashion into bolder, more experimental territory. One striking design features one pant leg and one skirt side in a single piece. Ruffles (seen in dreamy, flowing dresses) are also making a strong comeback. Finally, shine this summer, express your style freely, and mix and match from your wardrobe in a way that reflects your unique personality.
