'The Gilded Age' stars discuss Larry's proposal and George's revenge plot in season 3 episode 5
In episode five of The Gilded Age season three, Larry Russell (Harry Richardson) informs his father George (Morgan Spector) of his plans to propose to Ms. Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson). George supports Larry's decision while his wife Bertha (Carrie Coon) remains unaware, occupied with social engagements. Speaking to Deadline, Spector commented on George's mindset, saying, 'I think at that point, George is just hopped up on bitterness and rage, and so he's ready to stick the needle in wherever he possibly can. It's not really fair. I think it's a little bit ersatz. He's sort of throwing together this little revenge plot, but I do think he's also determined not to repeat the same mistake and try to fight for his son's autonomy and freedom.' Bertha learns of the proposal after Marian has accepted, and her reaction is reserved despite her previous support for Marian in other social situations. Coon told Deadline, 'I wasn't sure how the writers would deal with Bertha's relationship with Marian, because I think she does respect Marian. I think she admires her. I think she sees herself in Marian more than she sees herself in Gladys. And so I always wondered if she, when push came to shove, she would embrace Marian as a potential partner for Larry, but she's not quite ready to give into that fight for status.' With three episodes left, it remains to be seen how Bertha will respond to Larry's choice in the face of societal expectations.

HBO's Harry Potter reboot reportedly casts Voldemort in secret
Recent reports suggest that Lord Voldemort has been cast for HBO's upcoming Harry Potter television reboot, though the actor's identity has not been officially disclosed. Filming began in July 2025 at Leavesden Studios, where the original film series was also shot. The speculation began after an anonymous social media post claimed that the role of Voldemort had already been filled but that the studio plans to keep the casting secret until the show premieres. Fan accounts have since circulated similar claims, indicating that the Dark Lord will appear earlier than expected possibly across multiple episodes in season one. A rumor originating from the fan account MovieMagick added fuel, stating that while the casting is reportedly confirmed, the reveal will be withheld. It also named Cillian Murphy and Matt Smith as rumored front-runners for the role, though neither actor nor the studio has confirmed or commented publicly. Major outlets covering the series have noted that HBO is still finalizing key details around the character's inclusion and timeline. While initial expectations were that Voldemort might not appear until later seasons, the new speculation suggests his arc could begin far sooner. No official statements have been made by HBO or Warner Bros. The series is slated to premiere in 2027, with the first two seasons expected to consist of six episodes each. Casting for Harry, Hermione, and Ron has already been officially announced.
