'Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew': Greta Gerwig's film adaptation gets official trailer

The teaser art for 'Narnia: The Magician's Nephew.' (Netflix)

The trailer for Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew is here.

Netflix has released an official trailer for Greta Gerwig's film adaptation of the novel by C.S. Lewis. Gerwig wrote and directed the film that stars newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell alongside a star-studded ensemble including Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Daniel Craig and Meryl Streep.

The teaser starts with Digory Kirke (McKenna) and Polly Plummer (Campbell) wondering if Digory's uncle Andrew is either "really mad" or a magician. We see the pair question their belief in magic before they enter a portal that takes them to a different world.

Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven" plays as the young children explore their entirely new surroundings. The trailer ends with the moment Aslan the Lion sings Narnia into existence.

"Have you ever seen a world born?" the children are asked, as they watch it happen in awe.

Netflix recruited Gerwig to direct their Narnia adaptation back in 2020. In 2023, the director helmed the year's highest-grossing film, Barbie, which earned almost $1.5 billion worldwide.

“I was a child when I first read The Magician’s Nephew, and I fell in love with the gorgeously improbable but completely brilliant concept of a cosmic lion singing the world of Narnia to life,” Gerwig said in a May 2026 press release. “I didn’t know that I would grow up to make films, but a universe built out of music is an idea that always lived in my heart. It is the honor of a lifetime to be asked to imagine it into being."

Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew will receive a full theatrical release. The movie will begin sneak previews on IMAX screens on Feb. 10, 2027, with a global wide release on Feb. 12, 2027. It will drop to Netflix on April 2, 2027.

This release strategy is a rare occurrence for the streamer. While Netflix does sometimes have limited theatrical releases in order for its titles to qualify for the Oscars, it mostly prefers to have its films debut on its streaming platform. A press release from Netflix likened the rarity to the franchise's popularity.

"A rare phenomenon that spans generations and geographies, Narnia’s release will match the scale and fandom of C. S. Lewis’s [sic] beloved books," according to Netflix.

Duane 'Keffe D' Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for Tupac Shakur's murder

Duane "Keffe D" Davis -- the only person ever charged with the murder of Tupac Shakur -- was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison Tuesday in a Las Vegas court after his conviction in August.

The sentence comes just over 30 years after the rap icon's drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip on Sept. 7, 1996. Shakur succumbed to his gunshot wounds six days after being gunned down.

In the ensuing years, Davis went on to tell a remarkably consistent account of what happened that night. In multiple police interviews, on the pages of his own self-published memoir, and in multiple on-camera interviews for the world to see, Davis allegedly confessed to what prosecutors would describe as his "shot caller" role in the infamous killing.

"I beat the streets, I beat the Feds, and I beat cancer," prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo quoted of Davis' own words to the jury in his closing argument. "Now, he's trying to beat 12 of you... Mr. Davis is attempting to escape responsibility for a crime everybody knows he committed, even him... End of the day, hold him accountable for the crime he committed."

Davis, now 63, has said he plans to appeal his conviction.

A onetime Los Angeles gang leader who later retired to the Vegas suburbs, Davis was arrested in September 2023 and charged with murder with the use of a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang, in connection with Shakur's murder. He has been in custody ever since. Once arrested, Davis pleaded not guilty and insisted on his innocence.

His lawyers argued he lied about his involvement in the murder and that there wasn't enough proof to put him in Vegas that night, much less in the white Cadillac from which the fatal .40 Glock shots were allegedly fired.

"The danger in this case has always been, just because we say something, is it true?" Davis' lawyer Michael Sanft said in his attempt to persuade the jury.

But in the years prior, Davis had plenty to say about his crucial role in the killing. He repeatedly admitted to his alleged role in Shakur's death, which he said was prompted by an escalating tit-for-tat of diss track and gangland retaliation that all came to a deadly head after the Tyson vs. Seldon boxing match the night of the shooting.

In continuing to tell his story and even profit from it, prosecutors said, Davis violated his own previous immunity agreement with a joint LA-task force. In fact, Vegas investigators credit Davis' many public statements for reinvigorating the case -- statements they worked to corroborate.

A jury of 12 Clark County citizens agreed -- that Davis' own words, bolstered by other evidence brought at trial, were to be believed. After less than three hours' deliberation in August, they unanimously found Davis guilty of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon.

Prosecutors said that, though he did not pull the trigger, Davis orchestrated the rap icon's drive-by shooting that night.

The truth is out there.

Ryan Coogler's reboot of The X-Files has been picked up to series. Hulu made the announcement about the series starring Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel on Tuesday.

This reboot follows "two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents" who "form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena," according to its official logline.

It will serve as a reimagining of the classic series created by Chris Carter that ran for nine seasons on Fox. The original show starred David Duchovny alongside Gillian Anderson.

Coogler wrote, directed and executive produced the reboot's pilot episode. He serves as an executive producer on the series alongside showrunner Jennifer Yale. In addition to starring, Deadwyler and Patel both co-executive produce.

“I’ve loved The X-Files for a long time, so getting the chance to write and direct the pilot has meant a great deal to me,” Coogler said. “What Chris Carter created is special, and we wanted to honor everything that made the original series connect with so many people while also finding our own way into that world."

Coogler continued, saying that Deadwyler and Patel, "along with the rest of our cast, have brought such original perspectives and performances to these characters, and watching that come together has been one of the most rewarding parts of the experience."

Making guest appearances in the new series are Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi and Ben Foster.

Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel E. Montgrand and Sofia Grace Clifton make up the rest of the cast.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.

Selma Blair released on bond following alleged altercation aboard Delta flight, bail set at $20K

Actress Selma Blair was arraigned Monday evening on assault charges in New York, following an alleged altercation with flight attendants aboard a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York City on Sunday.

She also had alleged altercations with a Port Authority officer and a registered nurse, according to a complaint obtained by ABC News.

A judge set bail for Blair at $20,000 cash, $60,000 bond or $60,000 partially secured bond, during her hearing on Monday. She was later released on bond and the case was adjourned to Jan. 19, 2027.

According to the criminal complaint filed in Queens, Blair is charged with two counts of assault in the second degree under New York Penal Law 120.05(3).

The Port Authority Police Department responded to a call Sunday night at John F. Kennedy International Airport regarding a physically abusive passenger aboard Delta flight 938, which was parked at the gate after arriving from Los Angeles International Airport, according to Port Authority officials.

The passenger, identified as Blair, was taken into custody following the alleged incident and transported to a hospital. Sources familiar with the matter told ABC News Blair was treated at Jamaica Hospital.

Two flight attendants sustained injuries as a result of the alleged incident, with one being transported to the hospital for further evaluation, according to Port Authority officials.

The pilots informed air traffic controllers ahead of landing that one person had a bloody nose and another person had bite marks and requested that medical personnel be waiting at the gate.

The complaint names Port Authority Police Officer Maria Suarez, who was kicked by Blair repeatedly in the face, neck and chest while the officer was helping transport Blair from John F. Kennedy Airport to an ambulance. The officer reported swelling to her jaw and substantial pain and was treated at a hospital, according to the complaint.

The second incident, involving registered nurse Ashley DeLeo, allegedly happened when she was assisting with Blair's medical treatment at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, according to the complaint.

Blair allegedly kicked DeLeo in the chest and she reported substantial chest pain, according to the complaint.

In addition to the assault charges, Blair was issued a violation notice on Monday alerting her that she is facing federal charges of assaults within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, a source familiar with the federal summons told ABC News.

The summons is answerable to the petty violations court in Brooklyn federal court, the sources said. There is no appearance date.

In a statement to ABC News, Blair's representative said, "Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition."

There was no operational impact to the flight as it arrived ahead of schedule, and law enforcement met the flight when it landed, according to Delta.

"Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first," the airline said in a statement to ABC News.

The FBI and Federal Aviation Administration say they are investigating the alleged incident.

True-crime doc 'Kill. Bury. Print.' spotlights police corruption, press intimidation in Oklahoma county

Bruce Willingham appears in 'Kill. Bury. Print.' (Peacock)

A family-owned newspaper and a corrupt sheriff’s department: the new documentary Kill. Bury. Print. takes viewers to rural Oklahoma, where a family searches for the truth, no matter the cost.

The true-crime doc from director Ben Klein follows newspaper publisher Bruce Willingham and his family as they report on, and fight against, law enforcement corruption in Idabel, Oklahoma.

This story of the McCurtain Gazette and the McCurtain County Sheriff’s Department begins in 2018. Reporter Chris Willingham, working for his family’s newspaper, writes a series of articles alleging department malfeasance under Sheriff Kevin Clardy. As his reporting digs into accusations of sexual affairs, drugs and violence within the sheriff’s department, Bruce Willingham and Chris Willingham find themselves in the department's crosshairs. 

Five years later, Clardy, Bruce Willingham and Chris Willingham are thrust into the media spotlight after Bruce Willingham releases secretly recorded audio of Clardy and county officials suggesting they kill and bury them.

Klein said he was rapt by the broader story of a small-town paper standing up to local law enforcement, but it was the Willingham family that inspired him to travel to Oklahoma to document the moment.

“The reason I felt like it could work was the family at the center of it, the Willingham family. Just this incredible family unit; you know, how much they preserved through all of this, how much they put on the line, how much they gave up. I just thought it was incredibly moving,” Klein said. 

Rachel Maddow serves as a producer on the project. She told ABC Audio she kept tabs on what was happening in McCurtain County after the audio recording was released, then learned Klein was helming a documentary about the Willinghams and the McCurtain Gazette.

“The courage and the pluck of this family-run paper was so impressive to me, I just sort of couldn’t believe it,” Maddow said. “It really stuck with me, and I didn’t know how or when I’d go back to the story.”

Sensitive to the precariousness of their situation and the trust they were putting in him, Klein spent the next three and a half years trying to capture the Willinghams’ lives as they faced backlash and intimidation from the sheriff’s department. But he said Kill. Bury. Print. also explores community members’ experiences.

"I wanted to amplify their message, and I also wanted to meet many other people who were involved. This was not just some story that affected the Willingham family, this was the entire county. I can’t tell you how many people we spoke to who were affected by this story … [many of whom] weren’t willing to speak to us out of fear of retribution," Klein said. 

Kill. Bury. Print. is now streaming on Peacock. It will be awarded the 2026 David Carr Award for Truth in Non-Fiction Filmmaking during the Montclair Film Festival on Oct. 17.

'Breaking Bad' star RJ Mitte dies at 34

RJ Mitte, who starred in Breaking Bad, has died, according to a statement from his representative. He was 34.

"It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of beloved actor, philanthropist, and passionate disability rights advocate RJ Mitte," the statement said.

No cause of death was given via Mitte's representative.

The actor, who lived with cerebral palsy, rose to fame on AMC's award-winning series as Walter White Jr., the son of the show's titular character, Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston.

Mitte drew from his own experience living with the neurological disorder and used his platform to raise awareness about it.

The actor starred in Breaking Bad for all five seasons of the show.

Earlier this month, he appeared on the Joe Vulpis Podcast and reflected on what it was like auditioning for Breaking Bad, saying that it was "one of the longest auditions of my life."

"I was one of the very last main cast to be in the series," he said. "I already missed the cast dinner."

Mitte also starred in Switched at Birth, The Guardians of Justice, The Oak Room and more.

Outside of acting, Mitte was an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and Shriners Children's. He also served as the president of The Mitte Foundation.

In October 2025, Mitte proposed to his girlfriend of five years, Kennedy Suarez.

At the time, he told People that Suarez was his "everything" and that he couldn't wait to "start our life together."

Selma Blair arrested after alleged altercation on Delta flight

Selma Blair was arrested and is facing assault charges following an alleged altercation with flight attendants aboard a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York City on Sunday, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

The Port Authority Police Department responded to a call Sunday night at John F. Kennedy International Airport regarding a physically abusive passenger aboard Delta flight 938, which was parked at the gate after arriving from Los Angeles International Airport, according to Port Authority officials.

The passenger, identified as Blair, was taken into custody following the alleged incident and transported to a hospital. Sources familiar with the matter told ABC News Blair was treated at Jamaica Hospital.

In a statement to ABC News, Blair's representative said, "Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition."

Two flight attendants sustained injuries as a result of the alleged incident, while another was transported to the hospital for further evaluation, according to Port Authority officials. The pilots informed air traffic controllers ahead of landing that one person had a bloody nose and another person had bite marks and requested that medical personnel be waiting at the gate.

There was no operational impact to the flight as it arrived ahead of schedule, and law enforcement met the flight when it landed, according to Delta.

"Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first," the airline said in a statement to ABC News.

The FBI and Federal Aviation Administration say they are investigating the alleged incident.

Sources familiar with the alleged incident told ABC News Blair arrived at Queens Central Booking on Monday, where she is facing two counts of assault for allegedly kicking an officer from the Port Authority Police Department. Blair is also facing a potential charge for an altercation with a nurse at the hospital, the sources said.

Blair was also issued a violation notice alerting her that she is facing federal charges of assaults within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, a source familiar with the federal summons told ABC News.

The summons is answerable to the petty violations court in Brooklyn federal court, the sources said. There is no appearance date.

This is not the first time that Blair has been involved with an incident on a flight. In June 2016, the actress was removed from a plane on a stretcher and hospitalized after reportedly causing a scene.

Blair later apologized in a statement to Vanity Fair, saying that she had been under the influence at the time of the incident.

"I made a big mistake yesterday. After a lovely trip with my son and his Dad, I mixed alcohol with medication, and that caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret," she said at the time.

She added, "I take this very seriously, and I apologize to all of the passengers and crew that I disturbed and am thankful to all of the people who helped me in the aftermath. I am a flawed human being who makes mistakes and am filled with shame over this incident. I am truly very sorry."

Blair also opened up about the 2016 incident during a visit to The Talk in October that year, saying she'd had a "total psychotic blackout."

"It was horrible and frightening and I had empathy for myself actually afterwards because it was actually so out of character for me, especially because I'm a mother," she added.

Blair, who is known for films like The Sweetest Thing, Cruel Intentions, Legally Blonde and more, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018. In 2021, she announced that she was in remission.

Dan Levy slams Shane Gillis' 'Saturday Night Live' monologue: 'I'm speechless'

Dan Levy is sharing his thoughts on Shane Gillis' recent Saturday Night Live monologue.

Gillis hosted the Oct. 10 episode of Saturday Night Live, where he performed a stand-up comedy routine as his monologue. Part of his routine included a bit about the way women dress when they go to the gym.

"I haven’t been to the gym in so long, I didn’t know women just dress like w***** now. Look, I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe [it]. Have you seen it? I’ve seen it. You’ve seen the shorts?" Gillis said.

Levy took to Instagram on Sunday, where he posted a video sharing thoughts on some of the things Gillis said in his monologue.

"Women wearing short shorts at the gym does not make them w*****. It makes the men calling them w***** misogynists. There’s a difference there. By the way, I’ve seen more men’s nipples at the gym than I’ve ever seen women showing their bodies off," Levy said.

Gillis' monologue included more details about the shorts he says women wear, calling them "those neon artificial bait-colored" ones where "the wrinkles go around the cheeks and all combine at the butthole."

Gillis continued, saying, "And don't look! You’re not allowed to look. For real! Don’t look, ‘cause they are filming."

Levy continued his video by saying, "I’m speechless that something like that can exist on live national television. And to be perfectly honest, more men need to be standing up in opposition to it because it’s complacency that has created the environment in which women are sexually assaulted and it’s a ‘conversation’ as opposed to a ‘crime.’"

The Schitt's Creek actor also said that "men need to be defending women more."

"This is not a women’s issue, this is an everybody issue. Because the more that men objectify women in the media, the more that other men see them as objects and treat them as objects. They are not objects, they are superior human beings to men, OK?" Levy said.

Levy hosted Saturday Night Live in 2021. Gillis has hosted the series two other times, once in 2024 and again in 2025. He was previously fired from the program in 2019 before he ever made an appearance as a cast member due to anti-Asian and anti-LGBTQ+ comments he made resurfacing.

Why Kelly Clarkson is feuding with a New York store

Kelly Clarkson is feuding with a magic and games store in Brooklyn, New York.

Clarkson claimed in an Oct. 10 social media post that she was treated rudely while shopping at the store, called Art of Play, on Saturday. She compared her experience to how Julia Roberts' character Vivian from the 1990 movie Pretty Woman is treated by staff at a high-end clothing store.

"Just drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally was looked at as if I couldn't afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me," the singer and former talk show host wrote. "Wow, dude. You're an idiot and just lost a huge sale. But y'all should go check out Art of Play in Brooklyn if you enjoy being treated like Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman. For sure, check it out."

Clarkson's post quickly went viral and has since garnered more than 43 million views.

By Sunday, Art of Play had posted a response on its social media pages, claiming in an Instagram post that Clarkson had asked about an item that was not for sale.

"Yesterday, Kelly Clarkson visited us in Brooklyn and inquired about buying 'Molly,' a one-of-a-kind singing and dancing bird automaton who plays an important role in the magic shows we host here. Molly is permanently attached to the wall and isn't for sale," the store wrote.

It added, "We're going to keep our heads down and hopefully, we can clear things up with Kelly someday."

In a follow-up post, Clarkson shared a photo of the item she had asked about buying, which showed a price tag next to the bird.

"Cool, cool. Sure, it wasn't for sale," she wrote. "That's the narrative Art of Play is gonna go with so the whole conversation we had when I asked you if it was for sale whilst pointing to the price tag hanging on the wall with the title Singing Bird didn't happen as you elevator eyed me saying in a condescending tone 'yes, it's for sale but it costs 15,000 dollars so if you'd like me to find something comparable for you I can.' That all never happened and now it's not for sale. Okay, cool."

Art of Play then responded with a "clarification," calling the dispute a "misunderstanding" and saying it had subsequently reached out to Clarkson "to try and clear the air."

"During the 5 minutes she spent in the store, [Clarkson] inquired about our mechanical bird puppet named Molly. We explained that while Molly is permanently attached to the wall and serves as a de facto mascot for our shop, a nearly identical automaton is owned by the creator of the machines, a brilliant artist named Bliss Kolb who lives in Seattle," the store wrote. "He told us he would be willing to part with Molly's twin for $15,000."

It continued, "We explained all of this to Kelly Clarkson. We also offered to show her a different singing bird automaton, made by a traditional clockmaking shop in Germany, that she could have taken home with her that day. It costs about $2,000. She did not stick around long enough to see it."

Both Clarkson's and Art of Play's posts have attracted supporters and critics alike, with some pointing out the apparent discrepancies in the shop's initial response and it's follow-up reply and others criticizing Clarkson for taking the feud public.

ABC News has reached out to Clarkson and Art of Play for comment.

Keegan Allen says he was robbed at gunpoint, knifepoint in LA: 'My life for a watch'

Keegan Allen said he was robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint in West Hollywood, California, in a video posted to social media after the incident.

The Pretty Little Liars actor appeared bloodied and out of breath in the video, which was posted Thursday night local time, as he explained what allegedly transpired.

"I was just robbed of my watch," Allen said, explaining the incident took place outside a grocery store.

He continued, "These two dudes hit me in the head, pointed a gun at me with a knife, and then took off."

Allen's post also included what appears to be surveillance video showing the incident.

In the video, part of Allen's face is bloodied, from his forehead down his face and neck, with blood appearing on his hand as well.

"West Hollywood is not safe anymore. Robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint by two young men that threatened to KILL me over my watch and would have! God said no tonight. My life for a watch," wrote Allen in his social media post.

In a statement to ABC News, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said around 9:05 p.m. deputies responded to a West Hollywood location "regarding robbery call for service."

The statement said deputies made contact with a male adult who "stated he was approached by two male adults dressed in black clothing."

"One suspect pointed a silver handgun at the victim while the other pointed a knife and demanded the victim's watch and bracelet. Shortly after, the victim was struck in the face with the handgun," according to the sheriff's department.

The statement said the "suspects obtained the victim's watch and fled the scene in an unknown vehicle."

The statement confirmed the victim "sustained a laceration to his forehead" and was evaluated by Los Angeles County Fire but was not taken to the hospital.

The sheriff's department urged the public to contact West Hollywood Station Detectives with further information.

ABC News has reached out to representatives for Allen for more information.

Hayden Panettiere's ex-fiance granted temporary guardianship of estate

A Los Angeles judge has granted Hayden Panettiere's former fiance Wladimir Klitschko temporary guardianship of the estate inherited by their 11-year-old daughter after the actress's sudden death in August.

Klitschko had raised concerns about the preservation of Panettiere's estate and had argued to the court that he needed control, claiming others outside of the late actress's family had allegedly been trying to profit off her death.

Panettiere and Klitschko's 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, is the sole heir to the TV star's multimillion-dollar fortune. Panettiere had relinquished custody of Kaya to Klitschko in 2018.

Klitschko and Kaya appeared virtually before court on Thursday and only spoke during the hearing to introduce themselves.

The judge also authorized Klitschko to sign and pay Panettiere's state and federal income tax returns, which are due in about a week. Permanent guardianship of the estate is set to be decided in December.

The development comes after Klitschko, a former boxer, filed a supplement this week to his September guardianship petition, claiming a non-family member had sold some of Panettiere's possessions, including jewelry, to a pawn shop. Attorneys for Klitschko requested for him to have the power "to request and authorize law enforcement investigation into the recovery of Hayden's property believed to have been misappropriated."

Panettiere died on Aug. 16 from an accidental overdose of drugs, including fentanyl, 4-ANPP, alprazolam, methocarbamol and quetiapine, the Greenville County Coroner's Office determined.

Both local and federal investigators are investigating the source and supplier of the illicit drugs.

Bok bok! Crazy Rich Asians is so back.

Eight years after the blockbuster film was released, HBO announced Thursday that it has greenlit a one-hour original drama series based on the bestselling books by Kevin Kwan.

HBO also announced that the original cast members Constance Wu, Henry Golding and Ronny Chieng will reunite for the series, with Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh recurring.

"It's a CRAZY RICH family reunion!" showrunner and executive producer Adele Lim said in a statement shared by HBO.

Lim, who was a co-writer of the 2018 film, added, "This series is the sequel we've been waiting for, but instead of just one movie, we get eight episodes to delve into the characters and worlds of Kevin Kwan's brilliant books."

She teased, "Our writers room is humming and we can't wait to share what we've come up with."

The film follows a Chinese-American economics professor, Rachel Chu, who travels to Singapore with her longtime boyfriend, Nick Young, for his best friend's wedding. While there, she discovers that Nick belongs to one of Singapore's most elite and wealthy real estate families.

As she's thrown into their world of opulence, she faces scrutiny from other jealous socialites, including Nick's mother, Eleanor.

The film made $239 million worldwide at the box office, according to The Numbers, and since then has become a fan-favorite film for many. It also marked a milestone for representation in Hollywood.

Additionally, many online over the years have shared how the film is their favorite airplane movie.

Also returning to the project is director Jon M. Chu, who will co-executive produce the series with Lim, Kwan, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson.

"Eight years ago, 'Crazy Rich Asians' changed my life, and I got to make it with the most creative and hilarious group of people I've ever known," Chu said in a statement shared by HBO. "It's been incredible watching audiences make this movie part of their lives, from mahjong nights to becoming the ultimate airplane movie, and I can't wait to share what comes next."

He added, "Finally, I get to answer the question I've been asked almost every day for eight years: 'When are we getting the sequel?' well… bok bok b----, we're back."

A video shared by HBO announcing the news said that production for the new series will begin in 2027.

Elizabeth Banks to star in Karen Read series for Prime Video

Elizabeth Banks is set to star in a new series about Karen Read.

Prime Video has given a series order to a currently untitled drama series inspired by the Law&Crime and Audible Original podcast Karen. Banks will star as Read and also executive produce the show from showrunner, executive producer and writer Justin Noble.

The show follows what happens when a Boston police officer is found dead in the snow in the middle of a blizzard.

"All eyes are on his girlfriend, Karen Read. But when she and her legal team claim she's not only innocent, but that she's the victim of a conspiracy protecting the real assailants, the story spreads like wildfire, dividing a community in ways they've never seen," according to its official synopsis. "As endless suspicion mounts, in multiple directions, this genre-bending true crime series explores society's explosive obsession with true crime."

The new series will span eight hourlong episodes.

Banks said in a press release that she grew up in Massachusetts, where she "watched this case divide families, friends, and entire towns."

"We have spent years with this material because the questions it raises go far beyond one courtroom: why we choose the stories we believe, and what happens when trust in our institutions breaks down. Justin has written a series that respects and treats with care the complexity of what happened and the public reaction to it," Banks continued.

Noble said Read's story has more twists and turns than any other story he has consumed, whether it be real or fictional.

“It makes M. Night Shyamalan look like Nora Ephron. But the reason this story resonates and must be told is because of the profound takeaways it leaves us with: about a deeply imperfect justice system that urgently needs change, about the mistreatment of women by those who weaponize and abuse their power, and about a victim who deserves to be remembered," Noble said.
