The documentary from Academy Award–winning filmmaker Morgan Neville will be released in theatres on April 17, 2026

Focus Features will release LORNE, the first-ever, behind-the-scenes look into the life of Lorne Michaels, the legendary creator and reluctant icon behind Saturday Night Live. While SNL is one of the most examined and celebrated shows in television history, the man who built and sustained the institution for nearly five decades has largely remained out of view. From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville, LORNE reframes a cultural story audiences think they know, offering unprecedented access to the quiet force who shaped American comedy. The film will be released in theatres in the U.S. on April 17, 2026. Focus has worldwide rights on the film and Universal Pictures International will handle international distribution for the studio.

Logline: From Morgan Neville, Academy Award-winning filmmaker of 20 FEET FROM STARDOM and WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR, comes LORNE, an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes glimpse at the man who built the inimitable empire of comedy, shaping television and culture for generations. The documentary features exclusive footage, archival treasures, and candid interviews with the show’s most iconic cast members and writers including Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, John Mulaney, Andy Samberg, Conan O’Brien, Chris Rock and many more.

Director: Morgan Neville
Producers: Morgan Neville, p.g.a., via A Tremolo Production; Lauren Belfer, p.g.a.

LORNE reunites Focus and Neville for a fourth time having previously partnered on, PIECE BY PIECE, ROADRUNNER: A FILM ABOUT ANTHONY BOURDAIN, and WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? which earned a number of awards including Best Documentary at the 2019 Independent Spirit Awards.

Morgan Neville is an Oscar®, Grammy® and Emmy Award®-winning filmmaker known for his work as a cultural documentarian. His acclaimed 2018 film Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is one of the best-reviewed and highest-grossing documentaries of all time. His 2013 film 20 Feet From Stardom won the Academy Award® for Best Documentary. His 2021 film Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain was the highest-grossing documentary of that year. Additional films and series include the Emmy-winning Best of Enemies, the Emmy-nominated STEVE! (Martin) a Documentary in 2 Pieces, Piece by Piece, Shangri-la, Watch The Sound with Mark Ronson, Song Exploder and Ugly Delicious. Neville recently was nominated for an Emmy® for his work on the documentary series, SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night. Most recently, he directed Man on the Run, which documents Paul McCartney’s decade-long creative surge after the Beatles, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and will be released by Amazon MGM February 25.
LORNE builds upon Focus’ slate of critically acclaimed documentaries including POPE FRANCIS – A MAN OF HIS WORD from legendary filmmaker Wim Wenders; THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE from Nanette Burstein and Brett Morgen; THE GROUND TRUTH from Patricia Foulkro; BABIES from acclaimed filmmaker, Thomas Balmès; and Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz’s UNDER THE ELECTRIC SKY.

On Friday the 13th, Netflix is delivering a bad omen with the Official Teaser debut for Something Very Bad is Going to Happen.

From the Executive Producers of Stranger Things, and the Director of Baby Reindeer. Something Very Bad is Going to Happen is coming to Netflix March 26th. Created by Haley Z. Boston

ABOUT SOMETHING VERY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN
Logline: Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen is an atmospheric horror series set at a wedding, following a bride and groom in the week leading up to their ill-fated nuptials. That’s not a spoiler – just read the title.

Synopsis: If Carrie is horror’s version of a girl becoming a woman, and Rosemary’s Baby is the horrific version of a woman becoming a mother, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is horror’s take on a woman becoming a wife. Rachel (Camila Morrone) is getting married in five days. Together with her fiancé, Nicky (Adam DiMarco), she embarks on a road trip to his family’s vacation home, secluded in a snowy forest, for the intimate wedding ceremony of their dreams. Which really would be so lovely, except … prone to superstition and paranoia, Rachel can’t shake the relentless feeling that something bad is going to happen. Her foreboding doubts, coupled with a series of eerie coincidences and dreadful surprises, force her to ask the question: What makes two people soulmates? And worse — what could be scarier than lifelong commitment to the wrong person?

You may have seen the viral buzz south of the border about DQ’s Valentine’s Cupcakes, with fans racing to their local stores to try the mini version of the iconic DQ cake. This had Canadians feeling a little left out.

Well, now until March 29, 2026, Canadians can get in on the action!

Thanks to overwhelming social chatter and fan demand, some DQ Canada locations are offering the Cupcakes for a limited time as part of a secret menu. Availability will vary by store over the next few weeks, so people should check with their local store before setting out to get a taste of the viral sensation. Given it’s a “Secret Menu” item, people must ask for the item at the register.

The single-serve treats feature layers of soft-serve, fudge and a crunchy chocolate centre, topped with signature DQ icing, delivering the full cake experience in a perfectly portioned size. The Cupcakes are available as singles, two-packs and four-packs.

For fans looking for a sweet deal this Valentine’s Day, DQ’s Cupfections (including the limited-time 2 for $10 offer, running until February 14) offer a similarly fun-sized frozen teat that is widely available across Canada.

Immediately after launching their “Bigger Than You Think!” tour, multi-platinum rock band Simple Plan’s tour title proved itself by selling out their Toronto show within an hour of today’s general on-sale. Their first Toronto headline show in almost 10 years, the band will play at the RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto this summer, bringing their energetic pop-punk sound to 16,000 fans at the city’s premier outdoor venue on Thursday, August 20th. The Toronto show will feature a reunion with longtime friends Marianas Trench, as well as Bowling for Soup and 3OH!3 as supporting acts.

Simple Plan shares, “After more than nine years since our last headline show in Toronto, we weren’t exactly sure what to expect, but this is beyond any of our wildest hopes. To sell out the RBC amphitheatre so fast on the day our show goes on sale is absolutely incredible and a confirmation that Toronto is such a special place for our band, truly a second home. We would like to thank all of our amazing fans in Toronto for making this possible and supporting us from day 1. We would also love to give a huge shout out to our great friends Marianas Trench for joining us, along with the amazing Bowling For Soup and 3O3!H guys for making this such a phenomenal lineup.

There’s nothing like playing in our home country, and we can’t wait for this summer! See you at the show!”

Produced by Live Nation Canada, the show is set to take place while the band is on the road, headlining the 2nd leg of their “Bigger Than You Think!” Tour throughout the US. Kicking off Friday, July 24th, in Las Vegas, the “Bigger Than You Think! – The Sequel!” Tour continues Simple Plan’s 25th-anniversary celebrations with the kind of all-gas-no-brakes live show that has cemented the band as one of pop punk’s most beloved acts for more than two decades. Delivering a career-defining setlist including hits like I’m Just a Kid, Welcome to My Life, Summer Paradise, Perfect and many more. See below for the full Bigger Than You Think Tour US tour dates.

2026 IT’S BIGGER THAN YOU THINK! TOUR – THE SEQUEL! TOUR DATES:

Simple Plan will donate $1 from each ticket sold on this tour to the Simple Plan Foundation. Established in 2005, the Simple Plan Foundation focuses on helping young people in need and showcasing the power of music as a tool to find purpose and direction in life. Since its inception, the Simple Plan Foundation has donated over $3M to various charitable causes and has been awarded many prestigious distinctions for its philanthropic work.

The band recently released “Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd,” a 90-minute Amazon Prime documentary chronicling the 25-year career of the Canadian pop-punk band. The film features archival footage, interviews with band members and peers like Avril Lavigne and Mark Hoppus, and covers their journey from Montreal basements to global stardom. Available for streaming here.

ABOUT SIMPLE PLAN

For more than two decades, SIMPLE PLAN has been one of the most culturally and commercially successful bands in rock. Their multi-platinum 2002 debut album, No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls bore the smash singles “I’d Do Anything,” “I’m Just A Kid,” “Addicted” and “Perfect,” while subsequent hits “Welcome To My Life,” “Summer Paradise,” “Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me?),” “Shut Up!” and “What’s New Scooby-Doo?” have cemented their legacy as pop-punk legends. In all, the Montreal-formed quartet has sold over 10 million albums worldwide, captivated the main stages of the Vans Warped Tour and When We Were Young, performed at the 2010 Winter Olympics and with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, sold out shows around the world and raised more than $3 million through the Simple Plan Foundation. Their videos have garnered more than a billion YouTube views, while their inescapable social media presence driven another billion views on the viral #ImJustAKid Challenge alongside videos from *NSYNC, Ed Sheeran, and Venus and Serena Williams. Last year, they celebrated their landmark 25th anniversary with their biggest year yet, anchored by a career-spanning documentary on Amazon Prime Video, worldwide amphitheater and arena tours with Avril Lavigne and The Offspring and their most ambitious headlining trek in 20 years, the Bigger Than You Think!

Today we get a new trailer for BRIDGERTON Season 4 Part II, arriving in two weeks!

BRIDGERTON S4
Part 1 Premiere Date (episodes 401-404): January 29, 2026
Part 2 Premiere Date (episodes 405-408): February 26, 2026
Synopsis: From Shondaland and Jess Brownell, BRIDGERTON returns for a fairy-tale inspired fourth season. Bohemian second son Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) refuses to settle down, despite pleas to the contrary from matriarch Lady Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell). Until — at Violet’s masquerade ball, Benedict is awestruck by a masked, mysterious Lady in Silver. With the reluctant help of his sister Eloise (Claudia Jessie), Benedict sets out in society to uncover the young lady’s identity. But in fact, his heart’s desire is not in society at all — she is a resourceful maid called Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), working for the formidable Lady of the house, Araminta Gun (Katie Leung).
When fate brings Benedict and Sophie back together, Benedict wrestles between the reality of his affection for this intriguing maid and the fantasy of the Lady in Silver — unaware that they are the same person. Will Benedict’s inability to see these women as one in the same derail the undeniable spark between him and Sophie? And can love truly conquer anything — even a cross-class connection forbidden by society?
Inspiring Benedict’s journey are the marriages of his siblings —including Francesca (Hannah Dodd) to John Stirling (Victor Alli), and Colin (Luke Newton) to Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), who faces new challenges as a now public gossip columnist.

The tense, sensual thriller A Safe Distance, directed by Vancouver-based filmmaker Gloria Mercer in her feature debut, will have its World Premiere at the 2026 SXSW Film & TV Festival in the Narrative Spotlight program.

Written by Aidan West and produced by Nic Altobelli of Area V5 Pictures alongside Mercer and West through their banner See Horse Films, A Safe Distance is a slow-burn thriller set against the isolation of the Pacific Northwest wilderness.

In the film, a young woman abandoned by her boyfriend in a remote forest encounters a pair of notorious fugitives. As she forms an unexpected bond with them, shifting loyalties and dangerous desires pull her into a volatile triangle from which there may be no safe escape.

The film stars Bethany Brown (Murder in a Small Town, F*** Marry Kill), Chris McNally (When Calls the Heart, Supernatural), Cody Kearsley (Riverdale, Virgin River), and Tandia Mercedes (Allegiance).

Shot in British Columbia, A Safe Distance builds on Mercer and West’s acclaimed 2021 short of the same name, expanding its intimate psychological tension into a feature-length exploration of power, vulnerability, and survival.

“We’re thrilled to premiere A Safe Distance at SXSW,” said Mercer. “This film was built from the ground up through an incredible collaboration with producer Nic Altobelli, writer Aidan West, and our remarkable BC cast and crew. We can’t wait to share it with an audience that champions bold, character-driven independent cinema.”

A Safe Distance has been acquired for Canadian distribution by Vortex Media. The film was funded by the Canada Council for the Arts, and Creative BC and produced with the support of Keslow Camera, Sunbelt Rentals, Maverick Post and UBCP/ACTRA.

Festival screening times will be announced by SXSW.

For the first time ever, this project gives fans an all-access look at Michigan Basketball as we push toward March.”

“For over two decades, the Kansas Men’s Basketball program has been approached for a variety of all-access documentaries, and I have always turned them down,” said Kansas’ Men’s Head Basketball Coach, Bill Self. “However, this is the one moment, with an incredibly special team, where I felt it was finally the right time to let viewers behind the curtain to get an unfettered look at what goes on with Kansas basketball.”
