For Hotel Costiera, Jesse Williams was drawn to making "something that is global.” The new Prime Video series stars Williams as Daniel De Luca, a former Marine who returns home to Italy to work at a hotel, only to find himself tasked with finding the missing daughter of the hotel's owner. While he has “no complaints” filming in Positano paradise, “I tried to stay relatively disciplined, but I ate a lot of pasta and bread,” Williams told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. Of the character, he related to his duality. "I don't really say I'm half anything," he notes. "That has to have found itself stewing in something Daniel DeLuca is dealing with." And this series represents a new phase for Williams, taking creative control as a producer. "It certainly feels good... to bet on you in the same way you're trying to bet on yourself.” After leaving his iconic role on Grey's Anatomy, his first move was a deliberate challenge, first going to Broadway and now this, raising the stakes even further by creating an original show. “It's not based on IP or something else. Like it's really trying to forge something new in a space.” But at the end of the day, it's all about the process. "I love the collaboration that exists in our business."

Elvira firmly believes Halloween requires spooky snacks, and she's here to provide some inspiration with Elvira's Cookbook from Hell: Sexy, Spooky Soirées and Celebrations for Every Occasion. "I ate every single recipe. I was tasting every single one and they were all great," Cassandra Peterson, the actress behind Elvira, told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. "I do love to cook, however. I don't know about Elvira. I don't think she cooks so much, but I love cooking." For the past 45 years, Elvira has been a staple of Halloween. “I've never had a Halloween off.” But that's ok, because she's proud of playing such a vital role in so many people's lives. “I get gay guys coming up to me and saying, ‘Oh, you saved me, because I had your poster in my bedroom and my parents were like, ‘Oh thank God, he's not gay.' Little did they know.” And ultimately, she knows that despite never having Halloween off, she's given something back to the dark souls of the world with Elvira and has no plans to stop. “It's fun and people get a laugh out of it. And that's what's important. Laughing is important. We need to laugh more than ever. And if I can do that for people, I hope I can do it for a long, long time.” Subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.newsweek.com/newsletter/the-culture/ Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For millions of people, a trip to a Disney park is a special occasion, a magical escape. But what if it was your job? What if your office was Main Street, U.S.A., and your daily task was to ride attractions and eat snacks for an audience of thousands? Today we're talking to someone who lives that reality: David Vaughn, one of the most engaging Disney content creators on YouTube and social media. He joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to pull back the curtain to ask him what the job is really like, what drives his passion for the parks, and we get an honest answer to the ultimate question: does having to press 'record' change the way you experience the magic?

She's one of the most iconic and feared players in reality TV history, and this week, the legendary Parvati Shallow joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott for a can't-miss conversation. From the cutthroat beaches of Survivor to the paranoia-filled castle of The Traitors, Parvati has mastered the art of the game, but what about the woman behind the "Black Widow" persona? She pulls back the curtain on her most famous strategic moves and dives deep into the powerful lessons on intuition and resilience she shares in her brand new book, Nice Girls Don't Win: How I Burned It All Down to Claim My Power. Whether you know her as a master strategist, a cunning traitor, or a Survivor winner, tune in to hear the side of Parvati Shallow you haven't seen on screen.

Robin Wright knew that in her new Prime Video show The Girlfriend, which she developed in addition to starring in, she would have to fight the potential for melodrama, because “it could easily go there,” she told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. “This was so much of our discussion in the writer's room. How do we keep it plausible?” Wright plays Laura, whose adult son Daniel (Laurie Davidson) starts dating a suspicious woman named Cherry (Olivia Cooke) and proceeds to spiral out of control. “She does not want to lose him to anything. She is very overprotective and ends up becoming possessive.” Despite her sharing few similarities with her character— “I'm not that possessive with my son.”— she still feels a kinship with her. “Everyone you play, as venal as they can be, they believe that they're doing the right thing. So you have to believe that within them.” Wearing many hats, Wright doubled as co-star and director for many episodes. “I could be in the scene with Olivia or Laurie and I'm watching them as a director, like split brain, you know? But I'm still feeding them the character, Laura.” And while she's directed a number of projects, she says she still has room to grow. “I'm still learning. I'm learning and trying to learn how to get my style.” Subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.newsweek.com/newsletter/the-culture/ Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Clear the floor because we have Arconia royalty in the building! Newsweek's H. Alan Scott chats with the delightful Michael Cyril Creighton, known to all of us as the cat-loving, ever-present, and scene-stealing Howard Morris from Hulu's Only Murders in the Building. With the dust barely settled from the latest season's finale, we couldn't resist looking ahead. We talk about his personal hopes for Howard's character arc (will he finally find lasting love? Or a new cat?) and the behind-the-scenes magic of working alongside legends like Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Season five of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building is streaming now.

Michael Strassner joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about how one little direct message to Jay Duplass is what birthed the their new film The Baltimorons. A beautiful and heartfelt film set in Baltimore tells the personal and funny story of one man's journey to sobriety on a fateful Christmas Eve. We talked about how difficult it is to get a movie made these days and what it means to Michael to have this film show his hometown, Baltimore.

Of the new sitcom The Paper, about a struggling Midwestern newspaper and its staff, Domhnall Gleeson is quick to note that while it shares a universe with The Office (they share the same mockumentary crew and a cast member), its motivation is different. “I think the people who go into work in this workplace, their reason for going to work is very different than a lot of people in The Office,” Gleeson tells Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. And he credits that delicate balance of nostalgia and newness to creator Greg Daniels. “Part of what makes him great is that he is continually interested in the next thing.” Gleeson adds, “he's looking at the next funny idea.” At the show's center is Gleeson's Ned, the editor-in-chief who Gleeson describes as “hopeful and optimistic”—both his greatest asset and flaw. “He thinks the world is a better place than it is, and he wants the world to be an even better place.” Ultimately, Gleeson hopes The Paper has a similar impact on the fans as The Office did. “It's nice to be a part of something that hopefully will make people happy or give people a warm place to spend time.” Subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.newsweek.com/newsletter/the-culture/ Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Grace Van Patten has one word to describe having the opportunity to portray Amanda Knox in Hulu's The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox—grateful. “I was really, really grateful to be a part of something that was giving Amanda a chance to reclaim her story,” she told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. To capture Knox's mindset, Van Patten leaned into the confusion of the case itself. “Playing the confusion was truthful. I was so confused by what happened when I was learning about it that it was very easy to be present in those moments.” The role also showed her the impact of public perception. “I learned a lot about how easy it is for women, but all people, to be so easily scrutinized and villainized in the press.” Partly because there's money in the shock value. “It sells. It's so much about money. And we're all guilty of buying into it because it's enticing, and it's in big font. It taught me a lot to work harder on not buying into that type of thing.” Ultimately, she is eager to see if the series can shift long-held beliefs. “I'm really curious to see if it does change their opinion at the end of it.” You can watch the full chat at https://www.newsweek.com/2025/09/12/grace-van-patten-reclaiming-amanda-knoxs-true-story-hulu-2119585.html Subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.newsweek.com/newsletter/the-culture/ Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“We had wanted to work together for a long time,” Benedict Cumberbatch tells Newsweek's H. Alan Scott, reflecting on the project that finally united him with Olivia Colman. The new film adaptation of Warren Adler's 1981 novel The War of the Roses was also made into a hit 1989 film starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito. “It takes nothing away from the original film,” Colman says. “Ours is with a sort of respectful nod to it and has taken it in a slightly different direction.” Cumberbatch and Colman chatted with Newsweek about the new film, their pairing, and the comedic geniuses on set they were in awe of. This chat was witty and chaotic and delightful. It's presented to you in full, unedited. You're welcome.

Marc Maron joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to break down his incredible new HBO comedy special, Panicked. Holding nothing back, he argues that a comic doesn't have a responsibility to be political in the age of Trump. "I do not think it's that comics' responsibility to do anything but be funny." To that, Maron roasts the left for its infighting, joking that progressives may have “annoyed the average American into fascism.” But we go deeper than politics. Maron reflects on how processing tragedy has allowed him to take greater comedic risks, revealing there's “a part of me that's a little softer and a little more vulnerable and fragile underneath all the noise.” From the anxiety of modern life to the simple truth that “democracy doesn't work without tolerance,” this is an essential chat from a comedy master.

We're talking Trisha Paytas' reincarnation theory following the death of Ozzy Osbourne (yes, really).

We also pondered what late night might look like after Stephen Colbert. Finally, influencers got cozy at Elon Musk's new Hollywood café, do they deserve to be called out—or called in?

When Jean Smart first read the play ‘Call Me Izzy,' she had one response. “I just had to do it.” Smart is taking a break from winning multiple Emmys for her portrayal of Deborah Vance on ‘Hacks' to tackle the one-person Broadway show about Isabelle Scutley, a Southern woman trapped in an abusive marriage who, despite it all, finds her voice through writing and humor.

Alan Scott exclusively about what inspired her to take on this endeavor, her inspiration for the character, and how she keeps up the stamina.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's week two of my Pride 2025 Feature and this week I'm so excited to get to hang out with two of my favorite people in comics and returning guests, Josh Trujillo and GLAAD Nominated Jude Doyle. Josh and Jude have multiple projects in the new DC Pride Special, now in it's fifth year, including one developing new DC trans character Ethan Rivera. I've already picked it up and found this new formatting where there's a common narrative thread that connects all the stories incredibly powerful. We also get to talk about one of my new favorite characters the snarky Blue Snowman and how things are looking representationally with queer characters and creators in the medium. Josh's Website Josh on BlueSky Jude's Website Jude on BlueSky DC PRIDE SPECIAL 2025 From the publisher DC Pride 2025 brings DC's heroes together when a century-old tavern, the center of queer life in Gotham City, unexpectedly announces its imminent closure. It's a huge loss to the community, and generations of patrons return to pay respects to a space they've endowed with entire lifetimes of memories, wishes and dreams—including Alan Scott, the Green Lantern. Alan returns, for one last time, to the place he fell for his first love, Johnny Ladd, to touch the wall on which they carved the symbol of their love, to remember the days before everything went to hell for them...and to say goodbye. But love is a kind of magic, and, in Alan's experience, magic can take on a life of its own. Before anyone knows it's happening, heroes, villains, and civilians alike from across the DCU with powerful ties to this mysterious place—the Question, Midnighter and Apollo, Harley Quinn, Green Lantern Jo Mullein, Bunker, Connor Hawke, and Blue Snowman among them—find themselves spirited away to strange, alternate worlds where everything they ever thought they wanted can be theirs…but at what cost?

Fortune Feimster is one of the funniest comics working today. (She co-hosts Handsome, one of the most popular podcasts out there.) And if you know her, you know that she loves her doggy. Which is why it makes perfect sense she's partnering with Greenies to ‘double dog dare you' to smell your dog's breath. Why smell your dog's breath? Because 80 percent of dogs develop dental issues by the age of 3, according to the Journal of Veterinary Medical Science. That's wild! Feimster and I chatted about why she wants people to tag her in pics and videos of you smelling your dog's breath, why she thinks her podcast Handsome is so popular, and how I, H. Alan Scott, can get more handsome, if you will. (I don't think it's possible.)
