Is Sabrina Carpenter a part of Mamma Mia 3? Producer finally answers the BIG question
Amanda Seyfried and producer Judy Craymer have addressed the persistent rumors surrounding a potential third "Mamma Mia!" film. While Seyfried playfully hinted at a possible Greece-based sequel before 2038, Craymer emphasized the franchise's enduring appeal and ABBA's timeless music. Fan speculation about Sabrina Carpenter joining the cast has also surfaced, with Seyfried expressing her support for the idea. The 2000s rom-com era delivered plenty of gems, but few shine brighter than Mamma Mia! (2008). Starring Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried , the film became a cult classic, thanks in large part to their unforgettable mother-daughter chemistry and career-defining performances. Exactly a decade later, the beloved sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again hit the screens, continuing the story with just as much heart and charm. Since then, whispers of a third installment have surfaced now and then—though lately, the buzz has grown louder, prompting a response from Amanda Seyfried herself. In a recent chat with Entertainment Tonight, Amanda Seyfried was finally pressed to address the one burning question on every musical rom-com fan's mind: 'What's happening with Mamma Mia 3?' True to her playful style, Amanda quipped, 'Oh... yeah, Mamma Mia 3 is happening. Hopefully in Greece, before 2038.' Safe to say, Amanda's cheeky reply wasn't the concrete update fans were hoping for. However, franchise producer Judy Craymer offered a more hopeful perspective in her interview with Deadline. She emphasized her unwavering belief in Mamma Mia's timeless global appeal—anchored by ABBA's iconic music. Craymer noted that the charm of ABBA transcends generations, saying, 'The Sabrina Carpenter generation and Dua Lipa's, and even Pink's generation, are all influenced by the songs.' When asked directly if Sabrina Carpenter might join the Mamma Mia universe, producer Judy Craymer playfully envisioned her as 'a goddess' or perhaps a character related to Meryl Streep's Donna—someone who could strikingly resemble the iconic lead. While not a confirmation, the idea certainly adds fuel to fan speculation. Interestingly, the more popular fan-cast fantasy has Sabrina Carpenter playing the daughter of Amanda Seyfried's character. But with only about a 13-year age gap between the two stars, the idea raises some eyebrows. It remains to be seen whether Amanda would be on board with such a bold casting choice. Refreshingly candid, Amanda Seyfried addressed the fan-casting buzz in a 2023 chat with ABC News. Embracing the idea, she said she'd happily don old-age makeup if needed. 'I'm an actor. I'll do it,' she quipped, adding that she's a big fan of Sabrina Carpenter and fully on board if it happens.

Amazon Prime fans rush to save ‘incredible' axed series as 70,000 sign petition
Amazon Prime Video viewers are rallying behind yet another show being cancelled by a major streaming service. It's the unfortunate circle of life now: discover a new show, obsess over it, then the feeling of devastation when the series gets scrapped before the story's even finished. Fantasy series The Wheel of Time has suffered that fate, having been cancelled after three seasons – but fans aren't going down without a fight. A petition has been set up on a suitably epic website SaveWOT, with over 72,000 fans and counting signing their names. They're going the extra mile, as the site includes The Wheel of Time's 97% Rotten Tomatoes score alongside similarly high ratings on IMDb and Metacritic. Organisers behind the campaign pointed out that it's third season is better rated than recent series of House of the Dragon, The Witcher and Rings of Power, along with fan testimonials, quotes from professional reviews, and viewing figures. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Based on the popular book series of the same name by Robert Jordan, The Wheel of Time followed Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) as she sought the reincarnation of the prophesied Dragon Reborn. This legendary figure would supposedly save ot doom the world. It's all classic fantasy stuff, really, but sadly, we'll never know the Dragon Reborn's destiny. Deadline reports that despite Amazon execs liking the series, it just never caught on with a big enough audience to make it financially sustainable. They claim that it all came down to season three's performance, which just wasn't good enough to justify the costs involved. The streaming service examined all other scenarios but just couldn't find a way to make season 4 work. What makes this an even more bitter pill for fans to swallow is that many believe the show was finally finding its feet, and they've taken to social media to make their fury known. @umbreoonnnn wrote on X, 'Wdym Prime cancelled The Wheel of Time after the best season they ever had? Rosamund Pike literally spent weeks in a desert for nothing?' A similar sentiment was held by @annetteb, who claimed 'S3 of The Wheel of Time was amazing, it shows the improvement!! It is not fair neither for cast or fans! Please some other studio take over it'. It was @oluwatroy, however, who perhaps summed up fan despair best when they posted 'Cancelling The Wheel of Time is not fair'. It's not just people on X who are upset, either. Over on The Wheel of Time section of Reddit,where lvs301 complained, 'every story was on a cliffhanger!!! This is so disappointing!' Cease_Cows admitted that while they didn't love a lot of the decisions the show made, they thought 'season 3 was definitely an upswing'. Others, meanwhile, were happy to point the finger of blame for the show's cancellation, and it seems that the rocky fan reception to season one is taking the brunt of the finger wagging. 'This sucks – but it's expected,' wrote Spyk124. 'It alienated too large of the fan base in the first season and wasn't quality enough to get a large enough audience outside of fans.' Sadly, this belief that the first season just cost the show too many eyeballs seems to be pretty widespread, with 2ndChanceCharlie adding It was doomed after the first season. Too many people gave up on it. More Trending 'I watched season one,' replied Hurrly90. 'Didn't even realise a second season, never mind a third, was out. I had zero interest after the first season.' Still, while fans may be devastated, they're still determined to save their favourite show with a #savewheeloftime campaign already well under way on X. Or if you're desperate to know exactly what happens, why not give Robert's original books a read? View More » All three seasons of Wheel of Time are available to watch now on Amazon Prime Video.

Is Dancing With the Stars Rigged? Producer Speaks Out
Dancing With The Stars is about to debut its 34th season on ABC and apparently the show is pulling in bigger audiences than ever—and battling rumors that it's rigged. Executive producer Ryan O'Dowd just sat down for an interview with Deadline, who wasted no time asking about the "small contingent of fans who accuse the show of being fixed." "We take that very seriously," Ryan said. "We have never, nor would we ever do anything to manipulate the votes. The show really needs to be credible. It needs to allow the viewers to have a voice and to really be the voice of who deserves to win. So we have never nor would we ever want to manipulate that in any way." Ryan was also asked about the possibility of doing a live show for the West Coast and East Coast, and shut that down pretty fast. "Many years ago, I worked on a singing show called Rising Star for ABC, and it became unbelievably challenging to produce," he said. "We would essentially have the live show for the east coast and central viewers and then we would stay and produce another live result. There was a West coast save element to that format and the juice wasn't worth squeeze, to be honest. I think we are always looking for ways in which we can include the west coast in a more meaningful way. It's just proven to be very difficult." Noted!

And Just Like That Season 4 - News, Cast, Updates, More
While Sex and the City is a beloved, ground-breaking show that fans still rewatch today. It's sequel series, And Just Like That, is loved for different reasons. The series is so wacky and so distinct from the original, that it's addictive in its own way—it's hard not to tune in to find out what totally unexpected or unreasonable thing is going to happen next. (Plus, there's still some great fashion to take in!) So, if you're excited about the third season, you're not alone, and if you're already wondering if there is going to be a fourth, that's understandable. Hell, at this point, let the story of Carrie Bradshaw continue on as long as possible. Here's what we know about the future of And Just Like That. As reported by Deadline, And Just Like That was renewed for a third season in August 2023, only a couple of days before the season 2 finale. At that time, the show was only renewed for one season, so there is no official announcement about a fourth season yet. The good news? If HBO Max follows a similar pattern when it comes to announcing the fourth season, we'll find out very soon. Season 3 premieres on May 29, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, the finale will air August 14. So, maybe we'll get an announcement in August? Love. Friendship. Aging. Family. New York City. Shoes. You know, the usual. It's impossible to know at this point what the specific storylines would be, because season 3 isn't over yet. I mean, season 2 ended with Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) breaking up and making some sort of vague deal that they'd reunite after five years when his kids were grown up. Didn't see that one coming, so anything can happen! The third season focuses on Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Seema (Sarita Choudhury), and LTW (Nicole Ari Parker.) We know that Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) and Nya (Karen Pittman) are not returning, so it seems unlikely that they'd be back for a potential fourth season. We also know that Dolly Wells and Sebastiano Pigazzi are returning after joining in season 2, so if their connections to Miranda and Anthony (Mario Cantone), respectively, continue on, maybe they'll be back for season 4, too. And while we got a glimpse of her in the season 2 finale, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) will not be back. Well, probably. In July 2024, Cattrall responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter) about her returning for season 3. She wrote, "Aw that's so kind but I'm not" and added a kiss emoji. Fourth season's a charm? Doubtful. If there is a fourth season of And Just Like That, it's hard to know when it will be released. There was a year-and-a-half gap between the first season and the second, and then there was a two-year break between the release of the second and the third seasons. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, there was a delay in production of season 3 due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. So, unless there's another delay, maybe season 4 would have a faster turnaround. For now, take in all that season 3 has to offer, including Carrie becoming a fiction writer, flirtations with new love interests, and rats. Yes, rats. That's new, huh?
