English actor Sam Tutty on Boston, sunscreen, and those stunning Swiss Alps
Advertisement I'd return to Switzerland. My partner [Carly Turnbull, a wardrobe supervisor for West End shows] and I went there a year or two ago, and it was just the most magical experience I've ever had. You've got to remember that being from the UK, we're starved of mountains. The concept of mountains is so surreal to us in the UK — to me, anyway — so when my partner and I saw them for the first time, it was crazy. It was absolutely crazy. It was just an amazing time. The driving was incredible, the views were incredible, the food was amazing, we went up mountains, we went tobogganing … such a beautiful time. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Do you prefer booking trips through a travel agent or on your own? Advertisement I prefer doing it by myself. I think you get more ownership, and you can cater to your own needs much easier. Advertisement Thoughts on an 'unplugged' vacation? If you think that's an ingredient that is necessary for the vacation, then absolutely. Hopefully, most vacations are more unplugged than when you are just at home or working because you're having an amazing experience. What has been your worst vacation experience? I've been very blessed to say that I haven't had one. I remember one for my mum, though. When we were kids, we went to a campsite and long story short, we booked a caravan [camper] that was covered in bugs. I was so young that I don't really remember. I was just playing outside all the time, but my mum was fighting off millipedes and mold and cockroaches. What is your favorite childhood travel memory? I was probably about 16 or 17, so maybe not childhood, but my family and I went to Disney World in Florida. And as cliche as it sounds, it was just everything that we hoped it would be. We booked it two years in advance, and I was counting down every single day. It got to the point where people in my class would ask, 'how many days, Sam?' And I would say '391,' like the weird little boy that I was. Do you vacation to relax, to learn, or for the adventure of it all? If you don't do all three, I would say it's a missed opportunity. I'm always trying to go to a museum or to learn about the culture where I am. Advertisement What book do you plan on bringing with you to read on your next vacation? The one that I have read loads is the 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' series by Sarah J. Maas. I've read all of them and they were just fantastic. If you could travel with one famous person/celebrity, who would it be? Other than with my family, I would probably like to travel with someone really profound — probably the late playwright Noël Coward. I did 'Dear Evan Hansen' in the Noël Coward Theatre in London and it was a life-changing event for me. I saw photos of him and autobiographies of him everywhere. And I felt quite connected to him at that certain point in my life, so I would like to maybe go on holiday with him and just chat with him about his experiences. What is the best gift to give a traveler? Probably a first aid kit. If you do need it, it could be lifesaving. And if you don't, that means you had a great trip. What is your go-to snack for a flight or a road trip? Crisps, like chips. I'm not much of a sweets or candy guy; I prefer savory. What is the coolest souvenir you've picked up on a vacation? When I was a kid, I went to Lanzarote [one of the Canary Islands off the north coast of Africa that is known for its volcanic landscape] and I picked up a bit of volcano, just from the ground. I remember that felt so rebellious and so cool. I brought it to school and all the kids were going crazy for it. Advertisement What is your favorite app/website for travel? I think Reddit's really good. There's great sort of threads for places where you want to go. Do's and Don'ts on YouTube is also a great one. Before I came to Boston, I watched three videos on the Do's and Don'ts of Boston as a Brit. What has travel taught you? Travel taught me perspective. I'd also say privilege. I'm very fortunate to live in and to come from a country where tourism is huge all year round and not just seasonal. What is your best travel tip? Stay hydrated. Drink water and wear sunscreen, regardless of the weather! Juliet Pennington can be reached at

'This Is Us' creator Dan Fogelman and star Sterling K. Brown's twisty new drama 'Paradise' has been renewed for a second season at Hulu. Variety has learned production is set to begin on Season 2 this spring. More from Variety 'Paradise' Star Sarah Shahi on Torabi and Xavier's Future After Sinatra's Bombshell Reveal Mindy Kaling Comedy 'Not Suitable for Work' Ordered to Series at Hulu 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' TV Series Dead at Hulu Produced by Disney's 20th Television, the political thriller is set in the serene community of Paradise inhabited by some of the world's most prominent individuals who — spoiler alert — are among the 25,000 residents living in a bunker following an apocalyptic event. The tranquility of the city is jeopardized when the murder of President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) occurs and his head Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) is tasked with discovering who killed him and why. There are currently two episodes left in the show's eight-episode first-season run.

‘A Court of Thorns and Roses' TV Series Dead at Hulu
Hulu's TV adaptation of Sarah J. Maas's wildly popular romantasy book series 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' is officially scrapped. Produced by Disney's 20th Television, the project has been in the development stage at Hulu (also a Disney property) since March 2021. Maas was on the 'ACOTAR' (as the book series is known to fans) TV scripts alongside 'Outlander' creator Ronald D. Moore. More from Variety 'Dying for Sex' Sets April Release Date at Hulu 'Deli Boys' Trailer Reveals Hilarious Dark Side of Family Convenience Store Business 'Rust' Doc Examining Halyna Hutchins Accidental Death and Aftermath to Premiere on Hulu Not many updates have been given on the show since, with both the writers and actors strikes of Summer 2023 putting a pause on almost all scripted production and development. Last February, TVLine reported that the 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' TV series was no longer in development at Hulu and that it was also not being shopped to other platforms. At that time, sources told Variety the show was technically still in the works but no longer in active development and Disney's 20th Television had the rights through late Summer 2025. Maas is looking to take the TV adaptation rights for 'ACOTAR' out to a different studio and platform once the option has expired at Disney, sources close to the project tell Variety. 20th Television and Hulu declined comment. Representatives for Maas have not yet responded to Variety's request. The first installment of the 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' novel series, which centers around 19-year-old huntress Feyre Archeron, was published in May 2015. After murdering a faerie wolf in the woods, she is dragged to the magical land of Prythian by Tamlin, who serves as one of the seven High Lords of Prythian. While spending time with Tamlin at his estate in the spring court, Feyre slowly comes to learn that everything she has learned about the faerie world is a lie. Following the success of the first novel, Maas released four sequels titled 'A Court of Mist and Fury,' 'A Court of Wings and Ruin,' 'A Court of Frost and Starlight' and 'A Court of Silver Flames.' A sixth book in the series is planned with no release date set as of now.
