The official trailer for season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has arrived.

In addition to the brand-new trailer, Hulu has announced that season 5 of the reality series premieres on Sept. 10. As previously announced, the fifth season of the show will consist of five episodes rather than the usual 10. The show has already been renewed for seasons 6 and 7. 

The season 5 cast includes Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, Jessi Draper, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, Miranda Hope and Whitney Leavitt.

“After two wild years, #MomTok is hotter than hell, but will friendships and dreams go up in flames? Taylor returns from The Bachelorette with unfinished business, an old temptation, and the pressure of life in the public eye. Whitney debuts on Broadway in New York City as tensions back home chase her. Back in Utah, the limits of loyalty are tested as fame, secrets and backlash threaten #MomTok — with every blowup making headlines,” according to the season’s official synopsis. “As the heat threatens to burn the sisterhood, have they finally flown too close to the sun? With rumors spiraling and the public demanding answers, the sisterhood starts to crack, and #MomTok must decide what — and who — it’s willing to sacrifice.”

The new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives arrives months after Paul’s season as lead of The Bachelorette was pulled by ABC amid an open “domestic assault investigation” involving Paul and ex-partner Dakota Mortensen.

Season 5 marks Leavitt’s final season as a cast member on the series. She confirmed her departure in a video posted to Instagram in May.

Additionally, Hulu has announced a spinoff titled The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, which will star Affleck. Fans assume she will also leave the original show after season 5.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.

I got a text! It says that Love Island USA has been renewed for season 9 on Peacock.

Emmy nominee Ariana Madix is set to return as the host of the popular reality dating competition series in the ninth season.

Love Island USA follows singles who go on a search for love while living in a Fijian villa. “Throughout their stay in a tropical oasis, Islanders will couple up to face brand new heart-racing challenges and bigger twists and turns than ever before,” according to an official synopsis. “Temptations rise and drama ensues as new ‘bombshells’ arrive, forcing Islanders to decide if they want to remain with their current partners or recouple with someone new.”

Miley Cyrus is remembering her honorary godmother, Dolly Parton, following the country music legend’s death at age 80.

“The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share. Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts,” Cyrus wrote in a social media post Wednesday, alongside a photo of Parton.

“What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong. I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis,” Cyrus continued. “I will always love her and want to make her proud. My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply. We’re in this loss together and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things.”

Parton died on Tuesday in Nashville after a “brief battle” with cancer, according to her publicist.

Parton told ABC News’ Robin Roberts in a 2009 interview that she was asked to be Cyrus’ godmother by the singer’s father, Billy Ray Cyrus.

“I’m her honorary godmother. I’ve known her since she was a baby,” Parton said. “Her father’s a friend of mine, and when she was born, he said, ‘You just have to be her godmother,’ and I said, ‘I accept.’ We never did do a big ceremony, but I’m so proud of her, love her and she’s just like one of my own.”

Years later, Parton opened up about her bond with Miley Cyrus in the ABC News special Dolly Parton: From Rhinestones to Rock & Roll, saying she loved her “like a child.”

Parton also praised Miley Cyrus as “talented in every way” and spoke about the connection they shared when performing together.

“I know where she’s going and she knows where I’m going,” Parton said. “So out of that really comes a really magical thing sometimes.”

The two singers collaborated several times over the years, including on a cover of Miley Cyrus’ 2013 hit “Wrecking Ball” for Parton’s 2023 album, Rockstar.

After the album’s release, Miley Cyrus shared a video celebrating Parton as she drove past a billboard of her on Hollywood Boulevard.

“I love you so much Aunt Dolly, congratulations on your rock ‘n’ roll album,” Miley Cyrus said in the video. “I love you.”

The pair also reunited musically earlier this year, when Miley Cyrus joined Parton, Reba McEntire, Queen Latifah and Lainey Wilson for a new version of Parton’s “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” in celebration of Parton’s 80th birthday.

Miley Cyrus — who featured Parton on several episodes of her show Hannah Montana — has described Parton as a maternal figure in her life.

“Dolly’s been like a mother to me,” Miley Cyrus told W Magazine in 2024 while recalling a Mother’s Day message she received from Parton that read, “How much do I love you? As much as my heart can hold and as far as my arms can reach.”

More recently, in March, Miley Cyrus told Good Morning America that one of the biggest lessons she learned from Parton was “to start promoting something before it’s real.”

Billy Ray Cyrus paid tribute to Parton on his own after her death, recalling their decadeslong friendship in a post on Instagram.

Billy Ray Cyrus said Parton had recently sent him a message telling him she loved him “with her whole heart.”

“I will always love her in the same way … with my whole heart … and I always will,” he wrote.

Rupert Grint is headed back to Hogwarts.

The actor, who portrayed Ron Weasley in all eight of the Harry Potter films, is reprising the role of the Gryffindor wizard on Broadway.

Grint is joining the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for a 17-week engagement starting on Feb. 2, 2027. His time in the role is scheduled to last through May 30, 2027.

Grint follows in the footsteps of Tom Felton, who originated Draco Malfoy in the films and has been playing the adult version of the character in the production over the last year. Felton has extended his run in the production many times.

Felton is currently expected to exit the show on Jan. 3, 2027, meaning at this time his Broadway run won’t overlap with Grint’s.

In a statement shared with Deadline, Grint said, “Ron Weasley has been a part of me since I was 11 years old and I can’t wait to meet him again in this stage of life. There is something so full-circle and so special about stepping back into Ron’s shoes now when we are both fathers; it is somehow both very familiar and completely new. And the joy of being back on Broadway, this time in a role that defined so much of my life is truly exciting.”

He continued, “The first time I saw Cursed Child onstage I was blown away and I can’t wait to set foot back on Platform 9 ¾ and pick up where I left off. I am overjoyed to join this exceptional cast and crew at the Lyric Theatre this winter.”

The play continues the Harry Potter story 19 years after the events of the book series and film franchise. It follows the children of Harry, Hermione, Ron and Draco, who now all attend Hogwarts together.

I wanted the audience to have that vicarious experience of traveling right along with Emily.”

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Lucien Laviscount, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie, Minnie Driver and Paul Forman also star in season 6 the romance series.

“Stepping into a new era of ambition and romance, Emily faces defining choices that test her ultimate loyalties,” according to an official logline for the season. “But as unexpected career conflicts and shifting relationships force her to reevaluate where her true future lies, she must make one final choice between her career, her heart, and the life she’s built in Paris.”

No lessons in chemistry are necessary.

Prime Video has released the official trailer for its film adaptation of The Love Hypothesis. The movie is based on The New York Times bestselling first novel by Ali Hazelwood.

Lili Reinhart stars as Olive Smith and Tom Bateman takes on the role of Dr. Adam Carlsen in this new rom-com.

The Love Hypothesis follows a fake relationship between biology PhD candidate Olive and hotshot professor Carlsen. Through their time together, “each of their carefully calculated theories on love are thrown into chaos,” according to an official description from Amazon MGM Studios.

The film’s trailer finds Reinhart’s Olive kissing a random man in order to make her best friend feel comfortable enough to pursue a relationship of her own. It turns out that random man is actually Dr. Carlsen, affectionately known around campus as Dr. Evil.

“There’s a guy. He wants to go out with my best friend. The only way that she will date this guy is if I’m dating someone else,” Olive says.

“I accept your proposal to deceive your friend into believing that I’m your love interest,” Dr. Carlsen says back.

“It sounds really bad when you put it like that,” Olive responds.

Set it Up director Claire Scanlon helmed it from a script by Sarah Rothschild. Both Hazelwood and Reinhart serve as executive producers on the project.

The Love Hypothesis makes its streaming debut on Sept. 23.
