Yahoo15-07-2025
In our politically divided nation, there's one issue on which members of both parties can come together: to congratulate Tim Daly and Téa Leoni on their recent wedding!
The actors, who played married couple Henry and Elizabeth McCord in CBS' White House drama Madam Secretary, were married in a private ceremony on July 12 in New York City, EW.com reports. TVLine has reached out to the actors' reps for comment.

Madam Secretary ran for six seasons from 2014 to 2019 on CBS. Leoni's Elizabeth started the series as the Secretary of State but was elected President of the United States by the show's final season. Daly's Henry was a theologian who wound up as ethical advisor to President Conrad Dalton and later became First Gentleman of the United States when Elizabeth was elected president.
Though Leoni and Daly knew each other prior to the show's start — they attended the same high school in Vermont — they began dating during in real life during the series' first season. As the show finished production in November 2019, Daly posted about his gratitude for everything (and everyone) it had brought into his life.
'HUMANS!!!,' he wrote on social media, 'What did I get from Madam Secretary? EVERYTHING!!! That's a wrap.'
Here's hoping the real-life couple's big day went more smoothly than Elizabeth and Henry's Season 5 vow renewal, which took place at an Arizona jail after she was arrested for speaking out against draconian family separation policies at the United States border. When Elizabeth refused to go free until the children separated from their parents were reunited, she and Henry (and their kids) marked their 30th anniversary with a ceremony held at her cell. They kissed through the bars. (Read a full recap.)

5 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and more (July 29-Aug. 4)

This week offers plenty of new movie options across the best streaming services, from a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller to a romantic drama set at a storied English university. Whatever sort of movie you're in the mood for, there's likely a newcomer to suit your tastes. '28 Years Later' on PVOD platforms headlines the next seven days, but HBO Max subscribers will be eager to enjoy the blood-soaked thrills of 'Final Destination Bloodlines' while over on Netflix, get your tissues out, because 'My Oxford Year' looks like a tearjerker. Looking to watch something fresh? These are the top new movies landing across streaming services over the next few days. And if you want to binge-watch, here's a guide to all the best new TV shows this week. The old saying goes, 'Time heals all,' but in Danny Boyle's apocalyptic zombie-infested Britain, that's not the case. This long-awaited second sequel to '28 Days Later' takes place almost three decades after the Rage Virus turned the U.K. into a quarantine island cut off from the rest of the world, and things have not improved in the time since Cillian Murphy's Jim was wandering around a devastated London. If anything, the situation has only gotten worse. On a remote, well-fortified island just off the mainland, Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) lives with his son Spike (Alfie Williams) and ill wife Isla (Jodie Comer). Taking his son on a rite-of-passage trip to the zombie-plagued mainland, Jamie and Spike discover the infected have mutated to become even deader, and that there are additional threats to consider. Also starring Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell, '28 Years Later' successfully recaptures the spirit and visual style of the 2002 original and, aside from a tonally confused ending, is an extremely compelling watch. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Plus, it features more than a few references to my beloved Newcastle Utd soccer team and is set in North East England (which happens to be my birthplace), which makes it an instant must-watch in my books. Buy or rent on Amazon from July 29 Mike Flanagan has developed a reputation as a horror master after directing movies like 'Oculus," "Gerald's Game" and 'Doctor Sleep,' alongside helming chilling Netflix shows 'The Haunting of Hill House' and 'Midnight Mass." However, he trades his usual spooky approach for something a little more heartwarming with 'The Life of Chuck.' This fantasy drama has been described as 'life-affirming' and has even been mooted as a potential awards contender in the upcoming season. Based on the novella of the same name by Stephen King, it marks the third time Flanagan has adapted one of the legendary author's works for the big screen, and stars Tom Hiddleston as the eponymous Charles 'Chuck' Krantz. The movie is told in reverse chronological order as we follow Chunk from his adulthood through to his younger years as he experiences all the ordinary things that make life truly extraordinary. The well-received movie also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Jacob Tremblay and Mark Hamill. Buy or rent on Amazon from July 29 'Final Destination Bloodlines' marks the return of the long-running horror franchise, and it's an excellent revival. I'd argue it ranks among the very best of 'Final Destination' movies ever, keeping the classic formula intact but with new twists that only add to the blood-soaking mayhem. Following the series' longest premonition scene to date, we flash forward more than 50 years and meet Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), a college student haunted by a grisly vision of a skytower collapsing in the 1960s. Soon enough, death begins stalking Stefani and her family, and the secret to survival might just be locked in her grandmother's past. The overly complicated death sequences have always been the main appeal of the 'Final Destination' franchise, and 'Bloodlines' packs some of the most darkly funny ones to date. And while it doesn't completely reinvent the wheel, it does take a few risks that all play off very well. It also marks the final on-screen appearance of franchise mainstay Tony Todd, who delivers a memorable last performance that might just have you shedding a tear or two. Watch on HBO Max from August 1 If you're looking for a gooey romantic comedy-drama in the vein of 'The Life List,' then Netflix has you covered this week with 'My Oxford Year.' Yes, the release timing is a little odd — a romance tale set in rainy England feels perfect for the fall — but still, I have no doubts this movie will prove popular with Netflix subscribers, even if critics might tear it to shreds. Based on the novel of the same name by Julia Whelan, it centers on Anna De La Vega (Sofia Carson), an American student who fulfills her lifelong dream of studying at England's prestigious (and pretentious) Oxford University. By all accounts, her life is going exactly to plan, but her carefully-considered plan is thrown into turmoil when she meets a very charming British boy (Corey Mylchreest) and sparks fly. Guaranteed to be full of sappy dialogue and overly dramatic musings about seizing the moment while you can, 'My Oxford Year' clearly knows its audience and plays to it. Watch on Netflix from August 1 Hulu's big addition this week is a historical action epic that tells the story of William Tell, a Swiss folk hero, who was an important player in the country's attempts to fight against Austrian invaders in the 14th century. Directed by Nick Hamm and starring Claes Bang in the titular role, this cinematic spin on the legend opens with Tell, a former soldier in the Crusades, living as a huntsman. When the Austrian Empire marches into his country, he refuses to bend the knee and instead becomes part of a revolution that seeks to push back against these foreign oppressors. Also starring Connor Swindells, Golshifteh Farahani, Rafe Spall, Jonathan Pryce and Ben Kingsley, on the surface 'William Tell' looks like it has all the ingredients to be a 'Braveheart' for a new generation. Unfortunately, its critical reception was anything but epic. With a lengthy 134-minute runtime, 'William Tell' might only be one for genre obsessives. Watch on Hulu from August 1

Stephen Colbert's Fellow Late-Night Host ‘Stunned' by Cancelation

Andy Cohen was just one of a number of late-night hosts and lawmakers expressing shock over CBS' cancelation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Colbert himself made the announcement on Thursday, revealing to the audience after taping Thursday's episode that he was told the news 'just last night.' In addition to posting the message on Instagram before his show, Colbert replayed the announcement at the start of his Thursday episode. Not only will Colbert's hosting gig end in May 2026, but The Late Show itself will end completely. 'I'm stunned,' Cohen told reporters at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards. 'He was one of three late-night shows deemed worthy enough for an Emmy nomination. He produces a brilliant show," Cohen said. Cohen, the host of Watch What Happens Live! on Bravo, continued, 'I think it's a sad day for late-night television. I think it's a sad day for CBS. I think Stephen Colbert is a singular talent. He's going to have an incredible next chapter.' 'I can't believe CBS is turning out the lights at 11:30 after the local news,' Cohen lamented. 'Just completely turning out the lights.' Fellow late-night host also Jimmy Kimmel shared some of his thoughts on Colbert's cancellation. In an Instagram post responding to Colbert's video, Kimmel wrote, 'Love you Stephen,' followed by a message to Colbert's network: 'F--- you and all your Sheldons CBS.' Outside the late-night hosts, CBS has drawn plenty of criticism for their decision. Sen. Elizabeth Warren called the network out for firing Colbert so soon after he criticized their parent company Paramount in one of his monologues. 'CBS canceled Colbert's show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump,' Warren posted on X. 'America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.' Sen. Adam Schiff, Colbert's guest for his first episode post-announcement Thursday, echoed Warren's concerns. 'If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better,' Schiff posted. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper also shared a heartfelt 2019 interview clip on Anderson Cooper 360° where Colbert talked about coping with profound grief. Cooper told his viewers, 'Stephen Colbert is smart and he is funny, and he has actual conversations with people on his program.' He added, 'I think the thing that so many of us love about Stephen Colbert is that he is at heart an incredibly decent human being with an amazing wife and family and strong faith.'

Seth Meyers Reveals Biggest ‘Worry' Amid Late-Night TV Drama

Seth Meyers is worried about his mental health if he ends up following in Stephen Colbert's footsteps. The late-night host said as much on the Monday episode of Armchair Expert, which was taped before the news that CBS is ending The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. But his comments couldn't feel more relevant right now. 'I would worry about myself, like, mental health-wise,' Meyers said, after he was asked how he'd feel if his show was over tomorrow. 'There is this weird thing that I feel like I shifted from fearing that I wouldn't be good enough. And now my fear is weirdly more outside of my control, which is just at some point, the ecosystem might not support' the late-night format. 'I guess that's better than thinking it's your fault,' he added, 'But it is weird to not feel any control over it.' The walls do seem to be closing in, with Meyers' show as the last of it kind that still airs in the 12:35 a.m. time slot, following CBS' cancelations of James Corden's Late Late Show and then its much cheaper replacement, After Midnight. Whether it be due to money or politics, Meyers said he would be most concerned about his mental health if his show ended because late-night TV is the format he 'loves' most. He's 'trying to do other things,' he said, like developing his stand-up act and focusing on his podcasts to soften the blow, but nothing so far has really compared. 'I do still love late-night,' he said. 'There's a real family element to it… I have a showbiz job that feels like home. It's the most comfortable place.' Meyers' comments come after Trump gloated about his 'part' in Late Show's cancelation, and his subsequent call-outs of other late nights hosts and critics Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel, who he said would be 'next to go.' While many saw Colbert's axing as politically motivated (Colbert called the company's settlement with the president a 'big, fat bribe' on air just days before), others noted the show was apparently losing CBS $40 million a year. Though Paramount insisted that cutting the cord on Colbert was a 'purely financial' decision, Trump's online rambling cast further doubt that the CBS parent company hadn't been trying to butter up the president just before its $8 billion merger with Skydance. Trump's FCC gave the approval for that deal just days after the end to Late Show was announced. The same week, Trump threatened The View over Joy Behar's criticism of him, with a White House statement that the daytime roundtable series could be 'the next show to be pulled off air.' Meyers has not yet reached the top of Trump's media hit list, but there's still cause for concern, he admitted. 'I do' fear that the show could be on the chopping block soon, he said, 'because it is such a time we're living in, as far as the entertainment industry.' He continued, 'This isn't the best time to be doing what I'm doing, but at least I got in. And so I sometimes think the body of my work matters enough. The world knows Seth Meyers in a way that I'm happy with. I've taken my opportunity to build a thing. I know what it means, and I think other people know what it means, so I'm happy about that.'
