Is Cousins Beach from 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' a Real Place?
The third and final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty officially began streaming on July 16. The Prime Video series, based on the books by Jenny Han (To All the Boys I've Loved Before), has quickly become a fan favorite. The series follows Isabel 'Belly' Conklin (Lola Tung) as she's caught between two crushes: her childhood friend Conrad (Christopher Briney) and his younger brother Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). There's also growth and drama in their family dynamics, but the heart of the series is the love story that takes place on Cousins Beach, where Belly's family visits every year. Here's where they made that atmosphere come to life. The two families vacation every year at Cousins Beach, but sadly, it turns out that the beach does not actually exist. Han told Prime Video that she 'had a lot of beaches in [her] head' as she was forming Belly's story. 'I think that's part of the reason why people can read the book and feel like [Cousins Beach] is their beach,' she said. In another interview with Today, she said that Cousins Beach was inspired by Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, the Hamptons, and Nags Head. Nags Head is in North Carolina, and that's where the show was eventually filmed—more specifically, the town of Wilmington. Other shows filmed in Wilmington, NC include Netflix's The Waterfront and the classic dramas One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek. The Fisher family's house is located in a Wilmington gated community called Porters Neck Plantation. That's where many of the house's exterior shots were filmed. '[The house] had to have that cedar shake on it because [Han] wanted that Cape Cod Northeast look,' the location manager, Lindsay Fort, told People. As for the interior of the house, those scenes took place on sound stages in Wilmington, but the attention to detail is all the same. 'Our character Susannah [Conrad and Jeremiah's mom] loves to garden, and there are always fresh flowers throughout the house,' the production designer for season 1, Teresa Mastropierro, told House Beautiful. 'Our greens department literally transformed the landscape around the house. I think we bought every last hydrangea plant in the state.' In addition to Wilmington, scenes were filmed in other North Carolina locations like Southport, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Old River Farms, Porters Neck Country Club, Fort Fisher, and Wrightsville Beach, per People. The latter is where Belly and Jeremiah took the path from the house to the beach in season 1. 'That's the one with the seashells hanging in it,' Fort, told People about Wrightsville Beach. 'It has that really pretty romantic vibe that they run down that path.' College scenes were filmed at Han's alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. 'Filming at my old dorm, Old East, was definitely emotional,' Han told UNC. 'I was in the first class of women who were allowed to live there. I would lay out in the grass and listen to music and look up at the stars. It felt very romantic and nostalgic to come back and be able to shoot my show here.'

XO, Kitty Season 3 Wraps Filming In Seoul, Netflix Release Expected By Early 2026
While Netflix is yet to make an official announcement, signs point to a release in early 2026, potentially by March. Netflix's hit teen romance series XO, Kitty is officially returning with Season 3, and fans can rejoice as the cast and crew have wrapped up filming in Seoul, according to recent reports. While Netflix is yet to make an official announcement, signs point to a release in early 2026, potentially by March. Director Michael Medico, who has helmed several episodes of the series, confirmed the filming wrap on social media two weeks ago. Sharing a behind-the-scenes photo, he wrote, 'That's a wrap on block 3, season 3 of XO Kitty and my time in Seoul. I fell in love with this city and cast and crew. XO, Medico." This season, viewers will follow Kitty Song Covey as she enters her third semester at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS). Season 2 left audiences with plenty of emotional cliffhangers, and Season 3 promises even more romantic twists and evolving friendships. Though the show's creators haven't revealed much about the new storyline, media reports suggest that new characters will be introduced, bringing fresh energy and possibly complicating Kitty's love life even further. The show, a spinoff of Jenny Han's To All the Boys I've Loved Before franchise, has carved its own fan base thanks to its relatable themes, vibrant Korean backdrop, and endearing performances. Season 3 is expected to dive deeper into Kitty's personal journey while also pushing the story closer to what fans are calling the 'MoonCovey endgame", a potential resolution to her ongoing love triangle. As previously reported by What's On Netflix, filming for Season 3 began in April 2025. While it was initially expected to wrap in June, production extended into mid-July. This extra time likely points to added content or extended episodes, a treat for fans eager for more drama, romance, and Seoul sights. Though Netflix has not released an official teaser or premiere date yet, the buzz suggests that new episodes will arrive in the first quarter of 2026. Until then, fans can rewatch the first two seasons and speculate about what's next for Kitty and her friends.

Roman Reigns Reportedly In Talks For Big Hollywood Film
Top WWE figure Roman Reigns may soon be swapping the wrestling ring for a major Hollywood movie set. Reigns, who has been a dominant force in WWE for many years, is not entirely new to Hollywood. A recent report from Matt Grobar of Deadline has revealed that Reigns is currently in discussions for a starring role in the upcoming live-action "Street Fighter" film. This project is an adaptation of the iconic video game series that is well-known around the world. This exciting movie, which Legendary Entertainment is developing, is also reportedly looking at other high-profile actors for its cast. Names such as Andrew Koji, known for his role in "Warrior"; Jason Momoa, famous as "Aquaman"; and Noah Centineo from the "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" series are also said to be in talks for different roles. While full details about this new "Street Fighter" movie are still being kept under wraps by the studio, the potential casting of a global superstar like Reigns is already generating a lot of buzz among both wrestling and movie fans. Deadline's report highlighted his previous work on the big screen and his professional representation: "A pro wrestler born Leati Joseph Anoa'i with one of the longest world title reigns in the history of the WWE, Reigns has previously made appearances in films like Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and The Wrong Missy. He is repped by Bad Toro and Torres Benet." This news of potential significant movie work for Reigns comes while he has been noticeably absent from WWE television programming. WWE fans last saw him on the episode of WWE Raw that took place immediately following WrestleMania 41 in April 2025. During that show, he was viciously attacked and laid out by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker.

Zoe Kravitz is dwarfed by hunky 'beau' Noah Centineo who looks unrecognizable with long hair
Zoë Kravitz was spotted out in New York City with her rumored boyfriend Noah Centineo, 28. Only the To All the Boys I've Loved Before star was nearly unrecognizable and looked nothing like the clean cut and dashing rom com star he's played in the past. Noah's hair and beard were completely over grown, giving him a totally different look. Zoë and Noah were seen walking though Manhattan with the High Fidelity star, 36, looking casual in a cropped grey t-shirt and low-rise brown pants. The Sierra Burgess is a Loser star, meanwhile, looked cozy in a white sweatshirt and black overalls with one of the straps undone. Zoë carried a brown tote bag and red jacket while Noah had his hands shoved deep into his pockets. Zoë and Noah have been spotted with each other since February, four months after the Blink Twice director split from her fiancé Channing Tatum, 45. Channing, and Zoe were romantically involved for three years and engaged for one before they called off their wedding at the end of October. Noah's new look is worrying to his fans as his face appears heavier and he looks downtrodden in most of his pics. He also has red circles around his soulful brown eyes. In February, Noah opened up about his sobriety journey, which started in his early 20s. 'I was so unhappy,' he said on the Chicks in the Office podcast about his rise to fame. 'I was able to pay my bills for the first time. I was completely financially stable and secure. I was working regularly, and I was doing a lot of drugs. Nothing crazy. I was doing drugs a lot. And drinking all the time, every day and I was young.' 'I was 20 years old and I had been doing that for a couple years. So, I had a career that I was proud of. I was making enough money to pay my rent and put a little bit away. You would think I should be super stoked and super happy, and I just wasn't.' Noah, who began sobriety at 21, revealed he started drinking again around the 2021 release of To All The Boys: Always and Forever. But he quickly determined that alcohol wasn't something he wanted in his life. 'One day I woke up and the world looked different.' 'It felt like it was the same world, but I was looking at it, and it felt like something had broken a little bit, and it scared me.' 'I realized that I needed to dry out, sober up and take a look at myself and take inventory to see what that change was. And to get back to myself.' 'You get to really confront things. If you're drinking you don't really have to worry about things. 'It's a good way to numb yourself or self-medicate. And then you have to find healthier ways to deal with those things,' he said. In 2020 he shared that in his early 20s he was doing just about 'everything' when it came to drugs. 'I smoked a lot of things. I was really upset, man. It was a really dark time in my life,' he told Harpers Bazaar as he posed for the men's digital cover. 'There wasn't really much I wouldn't do. I never, ever injected anything, which is good,' he said, adding that he and friends would 'take Molly and talk for five hours and like get to the bottom of some really deeply philosophical existential questions.' In 2018, he told fans that he was 'completely sober' and doesn't smoke, drink, or do drugs — but had done them a lot before getting clean. He shot to fame portraying Peter Kavinsky in the To All the Boys I've Loved Before film series, establishing himself as a teen heartthrob

The internet's boyfriends go to hell and back in 'Warfare.' The movie will change how you see them.
When the cast of the film Warfare was announced, people were confused — what were so many of the internet's boyfriends doing in a gritty, realistic movie about the perils of war? The film stars heartthrobs from several projects beloved by young people, like Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things), Kit Connor (Heartstopper), Charles Melton (Riverdale), D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai (Reservation Dogs) and Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I've Loved Before). Standouts from prestigious projects also star, like Will Poulter (The Bear), Michael Gandolfini (The Many Saints of Newark) and Cosmo Jarvis (Shōgun). Civil War writer-director Alex Garland wrote and directed the movie with Ray Mendoza based on Mendoza's memories of a mission gone awry during the Iraq War as a former U.S. Navy SEAL. After the casting was announced, people began to question if it was all a stunt. Was A24 trying to capitalize on the parasocial relationships that so many young people have with this cast to come to see a brutal film? Were these actors out to prove that they could do so much more than what their audience has come to expect of them? Because most of the film unfolds in real-time, characters aren't given backstories. The audience's first impression of the Navy SEALs comes from what they already know about the actors who play them. Quinn told Yahoo Entertainment that he didn't think of how the audience might be perceiving him as himself in the film because 'that's a very fast route to madness.' 'A very interesting aspect of the film was the fact that it doesn't patronize the audience or spoon-feed them any kind of particular agenda or backstory about any of these characters,' he said. 'It's very brave in the fact that it just presents these people in the situation and lets the film unfold from there. I would say if you're starting a film and thinking, 'They're going to think Kit Connor is in this,' you're on the high road to nothing.' Connor told Yahoo Entertainment that he 'sincerely hopes' that the status of the actors in the cast 'doesn't infringe on the immersive nature of the film.' 'I certainly hope that if that is the case, then that runs out quite quickly,' he added. Garland told the Cut that casting someone in the 'age at which men are sent to combat' was crucial, but he didn't cast Connor because of his teen idol image or because he wanted to subvert it. 'There was no issue of escaping his heartthrob perception because I didn't know about it!' Garland said. Footage of the opening scene of Warfare has been released, and without context, it's misleading. It shows the cast gathered around a computer, guns in hand, to watch the music video for Eric Prydz's 'Call On Me,' in which leotard-clad dancers perform a workout routine. That's the last upbeat moment of the film. Connor said the idea of that scene came 'halfway through the filming process.' He said it's not meant to give any 'preconceptions' about the characters but an idea 'of how they all sit in the sort of ecosystem of that platoon.' Poulter told Yahoo Entertainment that the cast never thought about how the audience might react to the film parasocially, but they all came together 'irrespective of what we'd all done before or ages or level of experience' to go to boot camp, which was a 'great equalizer.' 'Once everyone shaves their heads and gets down to day one of boot camp, we're all starting from zero,' he said. 'In the respect of representing Navy SEALs, we're all very aware of just how limited our skill sets were by comparison. The parasocial thing didn't really play a part.' Woon-A-Tai told Yahoo Entertainment that as soon as the cast got to boot camp, Mendoza 'made sure that our egos were left at the door.' 'First and foremost, none of us brought it in the first place, but … we 110% gave it our all like this was our only job for the whole year. We gave it all of our dedication,' Woon-A-Tai, who had the added pressure of playing writer-director Mendoza himself, explained. Jarvis plays Elliott Miller — a Navy SEAL who suffered a traumatic brain injury on the mission depicted in Warfare. The film is dedicated to him. The rest of the cast plays other members of the mission, but they go by aliases because their real-life counterparts decided not to go public with their identities. Melton told Yahoo Entertainment that the project 'required an absolute, full commitment … because it's a very personal story' to Mendoza, 'in part for the veterans and for his best friend, [Miller], to see what happened to him on that specific day.' The cast isn't thinking about how their stardom might attract audiences. They just hope people come see the film. is in theaters April 11.
