Antonelli looking for his first Formula 1 victory at Saudi Grand Prix
The 2025 Formula One season is in full throttle with another exciting weekend of racing in progress.
The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix gets underway Sunday, April 20, at Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. All practices, qualifiers and race day will be broadcast live on ESPN.
The 2025 F1 season has been off to a thrilling start. With no clear frontrunner in sight, it’s made for one of the most compelling seasons in recent memory. This season has also seen the debut of six rookie drivers added to the grid, with 18-year-old Andrea Kimi Antonelli making a big impact amongst the newcomers.
Antonelli, who was signed with Mercedes as a junior driver, has long been considered one of the sport’s brightest upcoming talents. Already making strong impressions this season with several consistent performances through four races, Antonelli’s best performance (at press time) came at the Australian Grand Prix, clawing back from 16th place to start the race to finishing fourth behind Mercedes teammate George Russell. His first race also put him in the history books as the second-youngest driver in F1 history to score

points, following Max Verstappen.
Antonelli’s strong performances this season have contributed to Mercedes’ successful start to the 2025 season. At press time, Mercedes held a top-three spot in the team standings, with both Mercedes drivers holding top-five positions in the driver standings. Mercedes looks to have had a smooth transition from seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, as Antonelli looks to continue showcasing his talent. And with many points still up for grabs, look for the Italian to keep pushing the limits and proving he belongs among the best of the best in Formula One.

Back to ‘You’: Final season of Badgleyled thriller gets late-April premiere
What makes a murderer? And how can you tell them apart from everyone else? These sinister questions form the basis of “You,” the Netflix thriller series that shot to popularity following its Season 1 debut in September 2018. Now, nearly seven years later, the series’ fifth and final season brings murderous leading man Joe Goldberg, played by Penn Badgley (“Gossip Girl”), back to the New York City bookshop where it all began.
“You” Season 5 premieres Thursday, April 24, on Netflix.
Both true crime and human psychology have been hugely popular topics of public interest for centuries, but the rise of film, television and podcast culture has had a lasting impact on the way society views some of our most frightening peers — whether real or fictional. Author Caroline Kepnes capitalized on this morbid interest when she wrote her first novel, “You,” in 2014, despite then being completely unaware that it would later be translated into 19 languages while spawning three sequels and a five-season Netflix series starring Badgley, one of TV’s biggest small-screen darlings.
The novel — and subsequently the TV series’ first season — follows bookstore employee Joe Goldberg, a charming and well-read young New Yorker with a troubling outlook on love who grows obsessed with budding author Guinevere Beck (played in Season 1 by “Ordinary Joe” actress Elizabeth Lail). Driven by his untamed “love” for her, Joe tracks her every move through the city, arrang-
ing “chance” encounters and ultimately forcing a relationship by any means possible. Determined to have the supposed love of his life by his side forever, Joe’s passion sees him go to extreme lengths to secure Beck’s loyalty to him.
Now four seasons and three big “loves” later, Joe is married and moving back to New York from London, where Season 4 took place.
“Every season they manage to find new space to make it interesting and relevant,” Badgley told Netflix’s Tudum while filming the series’ fifth and final season. “I think somehow coming back to where it started allowed for it to just become grounded in the way that it needs to also have this kind of spectacular finish.”
Based on press details released by Netflix, the “epic” fifth season was always expected to be “You’s” last. Because of this, expectations will be high for the finale, and fans of the show are likely to be split in their desire to see Joe brought to justice for his numerous grisly crimes.
As for the plot of the series’ final 10 episodes, Netflix has set the scene three years after Joe and his wife, Kate (Charlotte Ritchie, “Call the Midwife”), left the U.K. for New York. We learn that Joe has purchased Mooney’s bookstore — the site of his meet-cute and final showdown with Beck — with some of the ample funds he has accrued by virtue of his marriage into the affluent Lockwood family. With Kate now in the role of CEO of Lockwood Corporation, “Joe is her loyal husband who has been dubbed Prince Charming by the adoring public, and they’re both following through on

Ellen Pompeo
Q: I remember seeing Ellen Pompeo in a movie where she played Jake Gyllenhaal’s love interest. What was that film?
A: Ellen Pompeo, the veteran of ABC and Hulu’s medical-drama staple “Grey’s Anatomy” — who has been starring lately in Hulu’s “Good American Family” — did a number of movies before starting her “Grey’s” run in 2005. One of those was the films you’re referring to, “Moonlight Mile,” a 2002 release set in 1972 and casting Pompeo as a woman who lends support to an emotionally adrift would-be groom (Jake Gyllenhaal) whose fiancee was murdered.
The story had a tragic real-life inspiration, since writer-director Brad Silberling based it on his own circumstances concerning the death of his girlfriend Rebecca Schaeffer, who he had met in film school at UCLA ... and who was known for her co-starring role on the 1986-88 CBS sitcom “My Sister Sam.” A stalker was convicted of the killing, leading to anti-stalking legislation being enacted in California, along with a revision of laws about what information can be released by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Silberling continued to have a connection to Schaeffer’s parents in the aftermath of the crime, reflected by the “Moonlight Mile” treatment of the Gyllenhaal character’s link to his late love’s mother and father (played by Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon). Eventually, Silberling met actress Amy Brenneman when they both were working on the ABC police drama “NYPD Blue”; marking their 30th wedding anniversary this year, they have two children.

Surreal scenarios: Nathan Fielder ups the weird factor in Season 2 of ‘The Rehearsal’
Question reality and prepare for the future alongside writer, director, star and producer Nathan Fielder (“The Curse”) during Season 2 of the oddly twisted and widely acclaimed series “The Rehearsal,” premiering Sunday, April 20, on HBO.
Blurring the lines between what’s real and what’s fake, “The Rehearsal” first made its debut in 2022 with a stellar first season. Following Fielder, who plays himself, the series aims to help real-life people prepare for some of life’s biggest moments, doing so through the use of freakishly-accurate, borderline surreal simulations. Using his wide array of resources, including a construction crew, actors and more, Fielder helps these everyday people “rehearse” for these upcoming moments. Whether they are big events, conversations or parenthood itself, Fielder offers the opportunity to experience the future in a controlled setting, where they can practice each and every potential outcome.
Featuring six episodes, this second season aims to build on the surrealism of Season 1, seeing “the urgency of Fielder’s project grow as he decides to put his resources toward an issue that affects us all” (per HBO). Adding to the cryptic intonation of HBO’s press release was a 20-second preview for the upcoming season, in which Fielder oversees the dressing of five identical room-like sets, all built within a massive and foreboding warehouse.
Speaking at the FYC House + HBO
Max panel in 2023, Fielder once explained his hopes for “The Rehearsal,” sharing: “The goal is always for things that are better than your plan to happen. But I would try to map out like every scenario of what would happen … I would go into a situation, like, ‘OK, if they do this, I’ll do this. And if they do this, I’ll do that,’” he said. “And then all the time, these moments would happen that I didn’t see coming at all. And they’re often like the best moments in the show. But instead of thinking, ‘Oh, that’s like, cool that this thing happened,’ I would always be sort of mad at myself and go, ‘Man, why didn’t I see that coming?’ And so I thought that frustration was funny, because, obviously, you can’t predict reality.”
While you can’t predict reality, you can certainly practice for it. “The Rehearsal’s” second season takes center stage Sunday, April 20, on HBO.
