Prince Harry and Meghan Markle extend Netflix deal after £100 million (₹1,054 crore) contract ends.
Princess Diana documentary being discussed for 2027, marking 30 years since her death.
Netflix given first rights to Sussexes’ new shows under fresh “first look” deal.
Meghan’s lifestyle series With Love, Meghan returns for a second season despite mixed reviews.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in talks with Netflix for a new project centred on Princess Diana, with plans to release a documentary in 2027. The proposal forms part of their renewed “first look” deal with the streaming giant, following the end of their original £100 million (₹1,054 crore) partnership. The late princess remains a powerful secondary figure in the Sussexes’ story, and this project could be one of their most significant ventures yet.

What is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new Netflix deal?
The Sussexes’ original £100 million (₹1,054 crore) five-year deal with Netflix expired this year, prompting speculation about their future in streaming. According to reports, the couple have now signed a fresh agreement giving Netflix first refusal on any new content pitched through their Archewell Productions banner. The arrangement also covers staff and operational costs for their company, ensuring the couple continue to have a steady platform for creative projects.
Netflix executives have praised the pair as “influential voices whose stories resonate globally,” while Meghan said she felt “inspired” to keep creating content with the streamer.

Will the Princess Diana documentary go ahead?
A documentary about Princess Diana is among the proposals currently on the table. If confirmed, it would be scheduled for 2027, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of her death in Paris. Industry insiders told The Sun that Netflix would “bite his hand off” if Prince Harry agreed to lead the project, convinced it would be a ratings success.
Harry has previously spoken about his close relationship with his mother and the trauma of her passing when he was just 12. He has also taken part in earlier television projects marking her legacy, including Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy in 2017. A new Netflix special would allow him to revisit her life with unprecedented depth and global reach.

What other Netflix projects are Harry and Meghan working on?
Alongside the Diana documentary discussions, Netflix has confirmed a second season of Meghan’s lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, which launches this week. Although the first season drew harsh reviews, it pulled in stronger-than-expected viewership, ensuring its continuation. A December holiday special is also planned, along with a short documentary titled Masaka Kids: A Rhythm Within, about a group of Ugandan orphans.
The couple’s earlier six-part docuseries Harry & Meghan in 2022 was a record-breaking success for Netflix, though subsequent projects failed to reach the same level. With Diana’s story back in focus, the streaming platform hopes to capture a similar cultural impact.

Why is Princess Diana’s story still significant?
Princess Diana remains one of the most compelling figures in modern royal history, with enduring public fascination across generations. For Prince Harry, telling her story has always been deeply personal. In his memoir Spare, he described her death as “overwhelming and isolating,” while also crediting her memory with shaping his decision to step back from royal duties to protect his wife and children.

Harry has kept her legacy close, naming his daughter Lilibet Diana and maintaining a photo wall of her at his California home. If the documentary is confirmed, it will not only mark a historic anniversary but also underline how central Diana remains to the Sussexes’ public and private lives.

Rajinikanth's Coolie which has crossed £430m worldwide in just nine days
Rajinikanth’s Coolie crosses the £430m (₹457 crore) mark at the worldwide box office in nine days
The film has now overtaken Vijay’s GOAT to become the fifth highest-grossing Tamil film ever
Strong overseas earnings from the UK, US and Australia boosted its box office performance
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film stars Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan and Aamir Khan in a cameo
Rajinikanth’s Coolie has emerged as one of the biggest Tamil blockbusters of 2025, with its worldwide box office collection crossing £430m (₹457 crore) in just nine days. The film, which has been a major talking point in Tamil cinema, has not only dominated the Indian market but also broken records in overseas territories such as the UK, US, and Australia. By surpassing Vijay’s The Greatest Of All Time (GOAT), Coolie has now become the fifth highest-grossing Tamil film of all time.

How much has Coolie earned worldwide so far?
According to industry trade trackers, Coolie collected an impressive £235m (₹281 crore gross) in India alone within nine days of release. Overseas markets added another £195m (₹176 crore), bringing the film’s worldwide total to £430m (₹457 crore).
Its momentum was driven by a massive four-day opening weekend, which saw the film earn £162m (₹194.50 crore net) in India. Despite a significant drop during weekdays, the strong opening has secured its position as a global success.
Yes. On its ninth day, Coolie officially overtook Vijay’s GOAT in global earnings. Vijay’s film had earlier set a benchmark with £430m (₹457 crore) worldwide, but Rajinikanth’s latest outing has edged past it, claiming the fifth spot in the list of Tamil cinema’s highest-grossing films.
The only four films ahead of Coolie are 2.0,Jailer, Leo, and Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1, with two of these also starring Rajinikanth, highlighting his unmatched dominance at the box office.
Will Coolie enter the top three Tamil films of all time?
Industry experts believe Coolie still has the potential to climb higher. Its next milestone is Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1, which grossed around £460m (₹488 crore). If Coolie manages to maintain steady collections in its second weekend, it is expected to overtake Ponniyin Selvan and enter the top three Tamil films.
However, surpassing the £565m (₹600 crore) mark achieved by 2.0,Jailer, and Leo may be challenging, given that Coolie is now bringing in an average of only £8–10m (₹10–12 crore) per day worldwide.
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie is an action thriller featuring Rajinikanth in the titular role. The story follows a retired coolie who becomes entangled in the underworld after the death of a close friend. The ensemble cast includes Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj, with Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan making a special cameo appearance.
Despite mixed reviews from critics, the film has been loved by Rajinikanth’s fans for its mass action sequences, high-voltage drama, and the star’s signature screen presence.

Margot Robbie described motherhood as “the best” during an interview promoting her new film
Margot Robbie describes motherhood as “the best” in her first public comments since welcoming a son
The 35-year-old and her husband Tom Ackerley quietly welcomed their baby boy in October 2024
The couple, married since 2016, have not revealed their son’s name or exact birth date

Margot Robbie has spoken publicly about becoming a mother for the first time, calling motherhood “the best.” The Barbie and Birds of Prey star, who welcomed her baby boy with husband Tom Ackerley in October 2024, admitted that parenthood is hard to explain to non-parents. In her candid remarks while promoting her upcoming film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, Robbie said the joy of having a child is something that “doesn’t need much explaining” to those who have experienced it.

What did Margot Robbie say about motherhood?
During a conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Robbie explained how motherhood has transformed her life. The 35-year-old actress said:
“If you try to explain it to someone who has kids, you don’t need to because they get it. And if they don’t, it’s probably just really boring to hear. So, you’re just kind of like, ‘It’s the best.’”
This is in fact the first time she has addressed parenthood since giving birth last year. Robbie and Ackerley, who have kept their son’s name and birth date private, continue to protect their family life from public attention, while enjoying time at home together in Los Angeles.

When did Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley have their baby?
Robbie and Ackerley, both 35, welcomed their first child in October 2024, with news confirmed by People weeks later. Sources revealed that the couple were “loving spending time with their baby” and had settled into family life as homebodies.
The pair, who first met in 2013 on the set of Suite Française, married in a private ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia, in 2016. Since then, they have managed to balance their Hollywood careers with a largely private relationship, rarely speaking about their personal lives in interviews.

Has Margot Robbie revealed her baby’s name?
Despite growing curiosity from fans, Robbie and Ackerley have not disclosed their son’s name or released any photographs. The actress has kept her pregnancy and parenthood journey closely guarded, in line with her long-standing preference for privacy.
That hasn’t stopped her son from making the occasional unscripted appearance. During a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Robbie paused mid-conversation and smiled apologetically, saying: “I’m sorry about how loud my baby is.”
How has motherhood affected Margot Robbie’s career?
Robbie, who has built a reputation for balancing blockbuster projects like The Suicide Squad with indie hits such as I, Tonya, has taken a measured approach to work since becoming a parent.
According to sources, she plans to spend much of 2025 focused on family before returning to a busy schedule of upcoming projects. In the meantime, she is promoting A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, a romantic fantasy co-starring Colin Farrell, set for release on 19 September. Farrell also reflected on parenthood during the same interview, describing his two decades as a father as “the most important facet” of his life.

A new chapter for Margot Robbie
For Robbie, motherhood is a new chapter in an already remarkable career. From her breakout role in The Wolf of Wall Street to global success with Barbie, she has become one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. Now, with her first child, she is stepping into a role that has clearly brought her joy. While she may not share every detail of her private life, Robbie’s brief remarks underline a simple truth: for her, being a mother is something that doesn’t need many words, it’s enough to just say it’s the best.

Daniel Day-Lewis returns to the big screen in Anemone after eight years
First trailer for Anemone shows Daniel Day-Lewis returning to screen after eight years
The family drama is directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis and co-stars Sean Bean and Samantha Morton
The film premieres at the New York Film Festival in September before releasing in cinemas on 3 October
Produced by Brad Pitt’s Plan B and Focus Features, the film explores fractured family ties and past trauma
Daniel Day-Lewis has officially ended his eight-year retirement with the release of the Anemone trailer, marking his long-awaited screen comeback. The three-time Oscar winner last appeared in Phantom Thread (2017), after which he announced he would no longer act. With Anemone, directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis, he returns in a brooding family drama set in Northern England that also features Sean Bean and Samantha Morton.

What is Daniel Day-Lewis’s Anemone about?
Anemone tells the story of two estranged brothers haunted by their past. Sean Bean plays Jem Stoker, a suburban man who ventures into the woods to reconnect with his reclusive sibling Ray, portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis. The official synopsis describes their bond as “fraught, if occasionally tender,” shaped by shattering events decades earlier.
The trailer teases bleak landscapes, stormy coastlines and shadowy interiors, hinting at deeper conflict rooted in political and personal violence. Irish flags flash across the screen, suggesting the brothers’ involvement in British paramilitary activity during Northern Ireland’s Troubles.
The project is especially personal for the actor as it is directed by his 27-year-old son Ronan Day-Lewis. Father and son co-wrote the screenplay, making it the younger Day-Lewis’s feature debut after previously working as a painter and short filmmaker.
Anemone has been produced by Brad Pitt’s production house Plan B and distributed by Focus Features. The supporting cast includes Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green, with cinematography by Ben Fordesman.

Why is Anemone being called a “nepo baby film”?
Some commentators online have dubbed Anemone the “ultimate nepo baby film” because it marks Ronan Day-Lewis’s directorial debut with his father in the lead role. The term has become a buzzword in Hollywood for children of celebrities working in the industry. However, early reactions to the trailer suggest Ronan’s feature debut is more than just a family connection, with its sombre tone and layered storytelling drawing attention in its own right.
Anemone will premiere at the New York Film Festival, which runs from 26 September to 13 October 2025. Focus Features has confirmed the drama will open in select US cinemas on 3 October, before expanding nationwide on 10 October. UK and European release dates are expected to follow.
Given Daniel Day-Lewis’s reputation as one of the greatest screen actors of his generation, the film is already generating major awards season buzz.
Day-Lewis shocked Hollywood in 2017 when he declared he would quit acting after completing Phantom Thread, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. At the time, he issued a statement saying he felt “overwhelmed by a sense of sadness” during filming and wanted to step away from the profession for good.
It was not his first hiatus. After starring in The Boxer in 1997, Day-Lewis temporarily left cinema to train as a shoemaker in Italy before returning in 2002 with Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York. His decision to appear in Anemone raises the question of whether this is a one-time return or a full re-entry into acting.

What makes Daniel Day-Lewis’s comeback significant?
Regarded as one of the finest performers in film history, Daniel Day-Lewis has won three Academy Awards for Best Actor, for My Left Foot (1989), There Will Be Blood (2007) and Lincoln (2012). His meticulous method acting and selective filmography have given each of his roles a sense of event cinema.
The fact that his return comes through a collaboration with his son adds another layer of intrigue. While some have jokingly labelled it the “ultimate nepo baby film,” early reactions to the trailer suggest a serious, atmospheric piece focused on grief, reconciliation and redemption.

With Anemone, audiences will see whether Daniel Day-Lewis, now 68, still commands the screen with the same intensity that made him a legend.

Sydney Sweeney says her bathwater soap faced harsher criticism than Jacob Elordi’s Saltburn candle
Sydney Sweeney defended her controversial bathwater soap, Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss, in a new interview.
The Euphoria star compared criticism she faced to the praise Jacob Elordi’s bathwater candle received.
The limited-edition soap sold out in seconds despite online backlash.
Sweeney also addressed the outrage over her American Eagle “great jeans” campaign.
Sydney Sweeney has spoken out about the backlash she faced for her bathwater soap, saying that criticism mostly came from women. The Euphoria actor launched Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss in collaboration with men’s grooming brand Dr. Squatch earlier this year, but the product sparked a wave of online debate. In a new interview, she said it was “really interesting” that while her soap was mocked, fans had loved the idea of Jacob Elordi’s bathwater candle inspired by his Saltburn role.

What was Sydney Sweeney’s bathwater soap?
In May, Sydney Sweeney released a limited-edition bar soap called Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss. The quirky product was marketed as being made with water she had bathed in, along with ingredients such as pine bark and sand extracts. Each bar retailed at £6.30 (₹660) and sold out almost instantly, with just 5,000 units available.
The campaign followed her earlier partnership with Dr. Squatch on a suggestive men’s body wash advert. While some fans saw the bathwater soap as a playful stunt, others labelled it unhygienic and gimmicky.
Why did Sydney Sweeney compare it to Jacob Elordi’s bathwater?
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Sweeney revealed she had noticed a gender divide in the reactions. “It was mainly the girls making comments about it, which I thought was really interesting,” she said. “They all loved the idea of Jacob Elordi’s bathwater.”
Elordi, her Euphoria co-star, became a social media obsession after the release of Saltburn in 2023. A now infamous scene showed Barry Keoghan’s character drinking his bathwater, sparking countless memes and inspiring novelty products like a “Jacob Elordi’s Bathwater” candle. Unlike Sweeney’s soap, the candle was celebrated online as a cult pop culture joke.
Reactions on social media were divided. Some joked that the bar might at least “get men to shower,” while others questioned whether marketing real bathwater crossed a line. Despite the debate, the soap’s limited stock selling out in seconds proved its commercial appeal.
In her interview, Sweeney said she does not regret the idea, calling it “weird in the best way.” She explained, “When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it or turn it into a bar of soap. It’s unforgettable, and it actually smells incredible.”

What about Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ‘great jeans’ ad?
The soap was not Sweeney’s only controversial campaign this year. In July, she became the face of American Eagle’s new ad slogan, “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.” The wordplay on “genes” sparked outrage online, with some critics accusing the brand of promoting eugenics and unrealistic beauty ideals.
American Eagle defended the campaign, insisting the message was simply about denim and individual style. Donald Trump’s team also weighed in, with his communications manager calling the backlash “cancel culture run amok.”
Sweeney herself has avoided directly commenting on the jeans controversy but said she closely monitors public response to her projects: “Everything is a conversation with the audience.”
