Belle prepares for final fight in Bye Bye, Earth season 2 episode 9: Full recap, global timings and streaming details
Bye Bye, Earth Season 2 Episode 9 is set to air in Japan on Friday, May 30, 2025, at 11:30 PM JST. Viewers outside Japan can also watch the episode on May 30 with release times adjusted to local time zones. The episode is expected to continue Belle's confrontation with the god, now in a world that closely resembles Earth. She will likely question it directly, but answers may remain vague. How episode 8 ended The previous episode, 'Hymn: Erehwon', saw Belle regaining her arms and Runding through chanting. She successfully destroyed Rusty Nail and impaled Adonis. Meanwhile, Mist explored a tunnel connecting the castle and catacombs. During a large-scale attack by the Army of Insatiable Emptiness, Gaff refused to follow divine orders to kill Sherry and instead allied with Guinness. Kitty was gravely injured in battle. In a key twist, Adonis infected a machine with his powers but was absorbed by a being that looked like a younger Belle. Sherry's song helped liberate the minds of the people. Belle later awoke in a modern city. Climax and closure ahead Episode 9 is likely to bring closure to major arcs. Belle is expected to realize that there are others like her in this new world. This revelation may strengthen her resolve and lead to the defeat of the god. A final exchange with Adonis is anticipated before Schwert Land's collapse. The season is expected to conclude with Belle choosing to live on in honor of those who fought beside her. Where to watch In Japan, Episode 9 will be available on streaming platforms including Anime Store, ABEMA, and Amazon Prime Video. Internationally, Crunchyroll will stream the episode with dubs in English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and German.

‘Handmaid's Tale' kills off 2 major characters in the penultimate episode: ‘What were the writers thinking?'
Rebellion comes with a price. 'The Handmaid's Tale' killed off two major characters during Tuesday's penultimate episode of the hit Hulu series. Warning: Spoilers below! Advertisement 10 Josh Charles and Yvonne Strahovski in 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Disney 10 Elisabeth Moss, Max Minghella in 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Disney Nick (Max Minghella) and Commander Joseph Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) were both killed by a bomb that detonates on a plane carrying some of Gilead's most villainous High Commanders, including Commander Wharton (Josh Charles). Advertisement Comm. Lawrence intentionally got on the plane to blow it up, and he was joined by Nick shortly before takeoff. June (Elisabeth Moss) tearfully watched as her lover and father of her daughter, Nick, and her ally, Comm. Lawrence, both perished onboard the plane. 10 Bradley Whitford in 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Disney Minghella, 39, revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he learned of Nick's death from Moss (who directed the episode) long before they read the scripts for the final season. Advertisement 'This is a very poignant way to end to me,' the actor said. 'I felt like a grounded version of Nick, and what I was really impressed by was how much it was not what I thought it was going to be. It's such a compliment to everybody who works on the show that they came up with something really inventive and still very much within the context of the show.' 10 Max Minghella as Nick in 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Disney 'It was really a blessed and wonderful way to finish, to have Lizzie directing my last scene in the show. It was fitting to finish with Brad, too,' Minghella added. 'We've become so close. I just adore him. I didn't know him before 'The Handmaid's Tale,' and now I consider him one of my nearest and dearest friends. To do our last scene together was perfect.' 10 Max Minghella in the final season of 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Disney Advertisement Whitford, 65, told THR that he was 'dreading' filming Comm. Lawrence's final moment on the show. 'I was very happy that Lawrence made the choice that he made,' said the Emmy winner. 'I think as he's listening to Nick and sitting on the plane [in the final scene] he's thinking, 'This poor kid is another victim of this hellscape that I created.'' 10 Bradley Whitford as Joseph Lawrence in 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Disney While he wasn't sure if Comm. Lawrence would got out as a hero or a villain, he always believed his character was 'redeemable' despite his involvement with Gilead. Moss, 42, revealed that she 'humbly requested' to direct Episode 9 after learning of the double character deaths. 'With the final season, we were all constantly making sure the show moved forward,' Moss shared. ''Do we end in a different place than we began? Don't be stagnant. Keep going forward, because this is it. There's 10 episodes left to get to the end.' No character this season ends in the same place that we begin.' 10 Elisabeth Moss as June Osborne in 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Disney Some show viewers complained about how Nick's death was handled on X (formerly Twitter). Advertisement '5 seasons of Nick disliking Gilead but being stuck regretting his past just for them to completely villainize him in 3 episodes & kill him. HE WAS A PLANT THAT HATED GILEAD IN THE BOOKS & WORKING WITH MAYDAY. WHAT WERE THE WRITERS THINKING WTF,' one fan wrote. 'Nick was never a hero. He was complicit from the beginning and deserved his fate, especially after betraying June. Boy bye,' another person said. 10 Max Minghella, Josh Charles in 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Disney 10 Elisabeth Moss in the final season of 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Disney Advertisement A third person tweeted, 'Honestly, what's wrong with writers who can't stick to the original material? In the books, Nick's from mayday and reunites with Holly, but now he's suddenly a nazi and just got blown up? And Serena's a sweet pie??' 'Well, that just ruined my night. Nick Blaine, you deserved better than whatever that was. The one person who literally sacrificed everyone and everything he had every season for her and that's what he gets,' a different fan wrote. The new episode also featured Taylor Swift's song 'Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)' from her upcoming rerecorded album, 'Reputation (Taylor's Version).' 10 Taylor Swift at the 67th Grammys Awards held at the Arena in Los Angeles on Feb. 2, 2025. Los Angeles Times via Getty Images Advertisement Moss said in a statement to Billboard that she's wanted to include Swift's music in the dystopian series 'for many years.' 'We finally found the perfect spot for a track from her, and I'm so glad we waited because there could not be a more perfect song for a more perfect moment,' Moss said. 'Taylor has been such an inspiration to me personally. It's such an honor to be able to use her music in the final episodes of our show.' The series finale of 'The Handmaid's Tale' airs next Tuesday on Hulu.

What We Know So Far About the Star Wars: Starfighter Movie
A new Star Wars movie is coming, and with it a trip to a galaxy far, far away set in a new time period. Star Wars: Starfighter is scheduled for a May 2027 release, starring Ryan Gosling (yes, Ken from the Barbie movie) as a brand-new character. We don't know much about his role or the film yet, though director Shawn Levy revealed a bit last month during the Star Wars Celebration fan event in Japan. "The movie is a new adventure. It's new characters," Levy said. "It takes place in a new period of time after the battle of Exegol, after Episode 9." Episode 9 refers to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which came out in 2019, and the planet Exegol was the site of a battle during the war between the First Order and the Resistance. No one was surprised to see plans for a new Star Wars movie, given how the franchise has drastically expanded since Disney bought the franchise's parent company, Lucasfilm, in 2012. Fans are ready for a standalone Star Wars film The new film has excited superfans like Jimmy "Mac" McInerney, host and producer of the Rebel Force Radio: Star Wars Podcast. "Superfans like me will be there for anything Star Wars, but I really hope Levy and Gosling will pack the appropriate punch to excite the masses," McInerney told CNET. "I'm also very optimistic that this will be a standalone story with a solid beginning, middle and end." The movie will be set about five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and it won't follow any of the main plot lines from past films. So it's not a prequel or a sequel, it's a new adventure. Mclnerney thinks the standalone nature of Star Wars: Starfighter might be a good thing. "Sometimes Star Wars gets crushed under the weight of its existing lore, so it's nice to know this will be a self-contained adventure," he said. "This could provide fandom with a nice palate cleanser following the divisive sequel trilogy and propel the franchise into the future." For now, you can find all the Star Wars content your heart desires on the streaming service Disney Plus.

Ransom Canyon Star Teases Potential Shake-Up for Lucas in Season 2 (And More Skinny-Dipping!)
If you've two-stepped your way through all 10 episodes of Ransom Canyon's first season, you've already had the pleasure of meeting Lucas Russell. Now, get to know the man behind the boy next door. 'Playing Lucas, I got to become the cowboy that I've always dreamed of being,' actor Garrett Wareing tells TVLine. The full-circle role also brought him back to Texas, having grown up in College Station before moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. 'Funny enough, this dream brought me right back to my roots, which I think is pretty cool,' he says. More from TVLine YOU Series Finale Ends With Chilling Message to Viewers; EPs Explain That Fourth Wall-Breaking Moment The Four Seasons' Tina Fey and Will Forte Talk Playing Husband and Wife, Recall Their SNL Days - Watch Video YOU's Final Season Brings Back Familiar Faces From Joe's Sordid Past - Just Don't Expect to See [Spoiler] The self-proclaimed 'small-town kid' spent his childhood on ranches, surrounded by horses and cows. And if all goes according to plan, he'll end up right back where he started. 'My dream after all of this is to have my own farm one day,' he says. 'It runs in my blood, this Texas lifestyle.' A misunderstood dreamer with a huge heart, Lucas is the kind of guy you can't help but root for, especially when it comes to his Romeo and Juliet-esque relationship with cheerleader Lauren. 'In some ways, Lucas represents that idealistic, all-American boy next door, and the same exists within Lauren,' Wareing says. 'It's always nice to watch a good love story, and to be able to bring that to life was an honor. What you see on screen between Lizzy Greene and I was true. I got to go to work every day with my best friend, and she's talented as hell. She made me a better actor because she is who she is, and I'm so thankful to her.' And nothing says true love like a little skinny-dipping! 'It was cold, I'll say that,' Wareing recalls of Lucas' bold romantic gesture. 'It was freezing cold. It was actually a really fun, sweet day. I'm all about body positivity. I look for a good challenge, and that was a wonderful challenge that I accepted with open arms.' You probably also found yourself surprisingly invested in Lucas' unexpected friendship with Lauren's ex-boyfriend Reid, which is exactly what Wareing and co-star Andrew Liner were hoping for. 'Drew and I really wanted to build out what a modern bromance could look like,' Wareing explains. 'Most of the friends in my life, we go through patches, we get over hurdles, and I think you become closer together because you overcome these hurdles. Seeing that represented between two men on screen was nice to be able to play.' But one of his 'biggest honors' of the season, Wareing says, was getting to be on set for an exciting cameo in Episode 9. 'There's a character named Billy Brinks, and you might miss it if you're not an eagle-eyed viewer, but he's played by Dan Reynolds, who is [Minka Kelly's] partner and also the lead singer of Imagine Dragons,' Wareing explains. 'That was a really cool moment for me.' Ransom Canyon: Your Guide to Who's Who View List So, what's next for the goodest boy in all of Ransom Canyon? The finale ends with Lucas receiving acceptance letters from several prestigious universities, but Wareing is more interested in matters closer to home. Although 'the trajectory of Lucas is to be determined,' Wareing says he 'would love to see a mysterious character from his past come back into play.' More specifically, he'd like to meet Lucas and Kit's father, someone about whom we still know very little. 'I would love to see how that could shake things up in Ransom Canyon if he returns.' Also on Lucas' to-do list for a potential second season: 'I'd like to have some scenes with Yancy and Quinn, and I'd love to ride more horses,' Wareing says. 'And I'd love to skinny dip again.'
