GRAMMY-nominated, global chart-topping and record-breaking singer-songwriter and musician Alex Warren has revealed details on his highly anticipated sophomore studio album WILDCHILD to be released on August 28 via Atlantic Records. Watch the teaser starring Kevin James HERE.

Accompanying the news of WILDCHILD comes the irresistibly joyous and soon-to-be summer smash “PASSENGER,” written by Alex Warren and produced by Adam Yaron, the rousing new single comes with an equally fun official music video directed by Blythe Thomas. Watch HERE

News of WILDCHILD follows Warren’s most recent singles “Fine Place To Die” and “Fever Dream,” and his incredible, record-breaking 2025 album debut YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT, KID, which has garnered the young artist over 9 billion streams to date, 5 iHeart Radio Awards, a 2025 MTV VMA for Best New Artist and Billboard’s Best New Artist of 2025, amongst other impressive accolades.

WILDCHILD further showcases the full spectrum of Warren’s intimate and vulnerable songwriting as well as his rich, soulful vocals which have captivated audiences around the world since he first entered the scene in 2021 and went on to become one of the highest charting and streaming artists of last year. Warren again spotlights both joyful and equally heart wrenching themes which are both deeply personal to him and universally relatable to listeners. The album explores loss, grief and the journey that follows as he navigates his new life while treasuring the gifts his dad imparted to him both throughout his life and when saying goodbye.

“Growing up, my dad used to call me Wildchild so it’s always had a special meaning and I even have it tattooed on me,” says Warren. “Creating this album was really healing, therapeutic and a way for me to continue finding out more about myself. This album really shows where I am in my life today and compared to my first album which feels like a man who is broken, this one is a man who’s trying to heal. It’s been really nice to be able to confront those feelings and also be able to share them with the world to give everyone a transparent view into my life.”

Alex Warren is currently on his sold-out world FINDING FAMILY ON THE ROAD.

ABOUT: Starring popular podcasters and sketch-comedy duo Justine Williamson and Greg Vardy, Tracy & Martina: Goin’ Out West follows two best friends Tracy and Martina who have never been farther than Nova Scotia. When they hear promises of big opportunities “out west,” the pair pack their clothes into garbage bags and hop a flight to Alberta.

What starts as a dream trip quickly unravels: internal tensions, surprise expenses, and cousins who are nowhere to be found. With their return tickets unbooked and Martina’s credit card maxed, the girls are stranded, broke, and desperate.

They thought they’d make enough money opening for the band Slowcoaster at their three stops in Fort McMurray, Edmonton, and Calgary, but budgeting has never been their strength. Things go from bad to worse when old small-town tensions between the girls bubble to the surface.

Through it all, Tracy and Martina discover that making ‘Berta Money’ isn’t as easy as they thought, but sticking together and relying on East Coast hospitality just might be their ticket back to Cape Breton

Apple’s highly anticipated psychological horror thriller “Cape Fear” makes its global debut this Friday. Starring and executive produced by Academy Award winner Javier Bardem and Academy Award nominee Amy Adams, showrun and executive produced by Nick Antosca and executive produced by Academy Award winners Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, fear takes hold when the first two episodes of “Cape Fear” premiere this week, and new episodes will premiere every Friday.

Also this week, Apple TV releases new episodes of acclaimed series “Widow’s Bay,” “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed,” “Criminal Record,” “Unconditional” and the season two finale of “Your Friends & Neighbours.”

“Cape Fear” – global premiere
In “Cape Fear,” inspired by the 1991 remake directed by Martin Scorsese and produced by Steven Spielberg, a storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Amy Adams) and Tom Bowden (Patrick Wilson) when Max Cady (Javier Bardem), the notorious killer they are responsible for putting behind bars, is let out of prison — and he wants vengeance.

The highly anticipated new series is created, showrun and executive produced by Nick Antosca, with Academy Award winners Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg serving as executive producers. Academy Award winner Bardem stars alongside Academy Award nominee Adams, who also executive produces. Patrick Wilson, CCH Pounder, Joe Anders, Lily Collias, Jamie Hector, Malia Pyles and Anna Baryshnikov round out the ensemble cast.

Hailing from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Amblin Television, “Cape Fear” is based on both the novel “The Executioners,” which inspired Gregory Peck’s 1962 Universal Pictures feature of the same name, as well as the acclaimed 1991 remake directed by Scorsese. The series is executive produced by Spielberg, who produced the 1991 film alongside Scorsese. Creator Antosca showruns and produces alongside Alex Hedlund for Eat The Cat; and Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey produce alongside Spielberg for Amblin Television. Academy Award nominee Morten Tyldum will direct the pilot and serve as executive producer. The series is developed and produced through Antosca’s overall deal at UCP, where he’s been based since 2017.

“Cape Fear” will make its global debut on Friday, June 5, 2026 with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday through July 31, 2026.

A NEW PYRAMID-SHAPED TEA BAG FOR PERFECT FLAVOUR RELEASE

The new collection also supports growing demand for more sustainable everyday products, featuring paper cartons and plant-based compostable tea bags.

A PREMIUM TEA EXPERIENCE AT A MAINSTREAM PRICE
