What can we expect from season four of the show?

Season four is packed with twists, drama, and, most importantly, a lot of heart.

Nick Frost says he will never copy Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid in HBO’s 'Harry Potter' reboot

When Nick Frost was cast as Rubeus Hagrid in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot, comparisons to Robbie Coltrane were inevitable. After all, Coltrane’s portrayal defined the character for a generation. But Frost isn’t trying to recreate what’s already been done. He’s stepping into the role with clear eyes, aware of the legacy, but determined to bring his own version of Hagrid to life.

In an interview, Frost acknowledged Coltrane’s unforgettable impact but drew a firm line: he won’t mimic him. “I’m not going to try and be Robbie,” he said. “You have to honour what came before, but I’ll bring my own take.” For Frost, Hagrid is more than just a gentle giant. He sees the character as a mix of both toughness and vulnerability, like a big-hearted man with childlike qualities, both tender and fierce.

Is 'Doctor Who' bringing back Billie Piper as the next Doctor after Ncuti Gatwa’s exit?

In the final moments of Doctor Who’s latest episode, “The Reality War,” Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor gave up his current form in a high-stakes finale. In true Doctor Who fashion, he regenerated, but this time, the new face wasn’t a complete stranger. Viewers were stunned to see Billie Piper appear, looking strikingly similar to Rose Tyler, the beloved companion from the show’s 2000s revival. Whether she is the next Doctor or something else entirely is unclear.

The credits only add to the mystery. They list Piper under “Introducing Billie Piper,” avoiding the usual confirmation of her as the Doctor. Piper herself played coy, saying she was thrilled to return but urged fans to “wait and see” what her reappearance really means.
