  1. Isa Briones Breaks Down Santos vs. Langdon & Garcia Drama | The Pitt Season 2

    Isa Briones Breaks Down Santos vs. Langdon & Garcia Drama | The Pitt Season 2

    Everyone’s juggling a lot in The Pitt Season 2, but Isa Briones’ storyline as Trinity Santos feels especially full. Not only is being a second-year resident at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center's Emergency Department especially taxing, but on this particular day, she also faces the return of Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball), Dr. Robby’s (Noah Wyle) pending exit for his sabbatical, and the realization that she might not get precisely what she wants out of her relationship with Dr. Garcia (Alexandra Metz). As is very often the case with The Pitt, the writers do an exceptional job of blending workplace challenges with personal concerns to craft stories about fully realized people giving everything they’ve got to others, while trying to figure out how to care for themselves in the process. With The Pitt closing in on its Season 2 finale, Briones carved out the time to swing by the Collider Ladies Night studio to discuss everything that’s happened through Episode 13, “7:00 PM,” before jetting off to New York City for her run in Just in Time on Broadway. We covered lessons learned from her father, Jon Jon Briones, takeaways from Star Trek: Picard, what it was like joining the cast of The Pitt, and, of course, everything Santos is trying to power through on July 4th.

  2. Camila Morrone: Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen Ending Explained

    5D AGO

    Camila Morrone: Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen Ending Explained

    2018’s The Haunting of Hill House was a game changer for Netflix, Mike Flanagan, and for genre storytelling. Flanagan already had success in the feature film realm with Oculus, Hush, and Ouija: Origin of Evil, just to name a few, but Hill House was the type of hit that sent his career soaring, and paved the way to four more series with Netflix. Every single one of those shows was a feat in genre storytelling. They made Netflix a go-to destination for high-quality horror, and also amplified the fact that horror is a genre with range and significant substance. Yes, there are jump scares, blood and gore, but you can also tell a deeply human horror story that can be both bone chilling and soulful. After 2023’s The Fall of the House of Usher, Flanagan’s run with Netflix came to an end and off he went to Amazon MGM Studios where he signed an exclusive multi-year TV pact. Three years later, Netflix found a creator capable of filling the Flanagan void. It’s Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen’s Haley Z. Boston. And the success of her eight-episode limited series isn’t only sending her star soaring. It also confirms that star Camila Morrone is and should continue to be a genre star. With Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen currently enjoying a position in Netflix’s Top 10 TV Shows in the US, Morrone sat down for a Collider Ladies Night interview to discuss her collaboration with Boston, and also to talk about her first go-around in the horror genre.

    Fiona Dourif Interview: The Pitt, Her Chucky Legacy & The 10-Year Rule for Actors

    Collider Ladies Night continues to highlight one of the best ensembles on television right now, the cast of HBO Max's The Pitt. In recent weeks, we’ve had conversations with Shabana Azeez and Katherine LaNasa, and now it’s time to turn to Fiona Dourif to cover what’s happening in Season 2 through Episode 12, “6:00 PM.” During her full Ladies Night chat, we discussed Dourif’s experience deciding to become a professional actor and first starting to make a living pursuing that dream at 34. She also delved into her journey with the Child’s Play franchise (and her potential future in it), before turning to her work playing Dr. McKay in The Pitt. Dourif revealed some of her own personal backstory for the character, spoke about McKay’s Episode 12 conversation with Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) when she senses something’s off with him, and also took a moment to address the show’s ICE storyline.

    Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kathryn Newton on Sharing the Screen in Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

    It isn’t often you get so many genre icons in one movie, but so is the case with the Ready or Not sequel, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. The 2019 original sent Samara Weaving’s star soaring and now, in film two, she’s joined by two other actors who have achieved “scream queen” status. It’s Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kathryn Newton. While in Austin celebrating Ready or Not’s World Premiere at SXSW 2026, Gellar and Newton visited the Collider interview studio for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to cover their journeys to the Ready or Not franchise, and to tease their hopes for their futures in the genre.

  5. We've Been Getting Kayla Craig All Wrong | Alona Tal on Cross Season 2

    We've Been Getting Kayla Craig All Wrong | Alona Tal on Cross Season 2

    Alona Tal made a huge impression in Cross Season 1 on Prime Video, but Kayla Craig shakes things up to an especially great extent in Season 2, and it’s bound to make her one of the most intriguing characters in the show’s just-announced third season. In Season 1, Kayla makes the invaluable assist. She swoops in when she can to help Alex (Aldis Craig) stop Ramsey (Ed Ramsey). In Season 2, however, they’re forced to work an entire case side by side. That partnership tests many aspects of their connection, and challenges Kayla to question how far she’s willing to go to get what she wants. While on Collider Ladies Night, Tal looked back on a number of key Season 2 scenes that reveal Kayla’s drive and true intentions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  6. Nina Kiri on Undertone and the Film's One-Take Ending

    Nina Kiri on Undertone and the Film's One-Take Ending

    A24 has another horror genre winner on their hands, Undertone. Writer-director Ian Tuason whipped up one of the most chilling films of 2026 for a reported $500,000 production budget, and it features a wildly commanding lead performance that should earn the star “scream queen” status. It’s The Handmaid’s Tale’s Nina Kiri as Evy Babic, one half of the Undertone Podcast duo. While living with and caring for her comatose mother (Michèle Duquet), Evy takes breaks in the middle of the night to podcast with Justin (Adam DiMarco). The two are used to exploring supernatural occurrences and enjoy leaning into their roles as the skeptic and the believer, respectively, but when they receive an anonymous email containing ten audio files, Evy is forced to consider the fact that they may be the real deal. With Undertone now playing in theaters nationwide, Kiri joined me for a Collider Ladies Night interview to discuss her journey as an actor thus far, including her unforgettable run on The Handmaid’s Tale, before digging into some of Undertone’s most chilling moments. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  7. Charithra Chandran Interview: One Piece Season 2, Playing Vivi & How Iñaki Godoy is "Made in a Lab"

    Charithra Chandran Interview: One Piece Season 2, Playing Vivi & How Iñaki Godoy is "Made in a Lab"

    It isn’t easy joining a beloved ensemble in the second season of their show and making enough of an impression to earn a place among them, but Charithra Chandran certainly accomplished just that playing Vivi in One Piece: Into the Grand Line. Soon after making the shift from Baroque Works agent Miss Wednesday to the Princess of Alabasta, Chandran’s Vivi not only feels right among the Straw Hats, but also proves she’s the kind of person who can make them an even stronger pirate crew and found family. With Into the Grand Line now available to stream on Netflix, Chandran visited the Collider Ladies Night studio to look back on her journey to becoming a Netflix star, and to dig into some of Vivi’s biggest scenes in One Piece Season 2, like the moment she shares with Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) at the gates of Drum Island in Episode 6, “Nami Deerest.” Hosted on Acast.

  8. Emily Rudd on One Piece Season 2, Nami & Sanji’s Bond, and Her Surprising Season 3 Tease

    Emily Rudd on One Piece Season 2, Nami & Sanji’s Bond, and Her Surprising Season 3 Tease

    Given One Piece Season 2, Into the Grand Line, is fantastic and now available to stream in full on Netflix, we can’t help but be greedy fans and look to the future — especially with One Piece Season 3 already in production. In celebration of the release of Season 2, Nami herself, Emily Rudd, returned to Collider Ladies Night to discuss her journey from the Fear Street trilogy to One Piece, to dig into Nami’s biggest moments in One Piece Season 2, and to offer up a little tease of what’s to come next season. Nami goes through a lot in Into the Grand Line. She gains confidence in herself as a navigator, powers through the effects of a wicked Kestia bite, and becomes more comfortable leaning on her fellow Straw Hats when necessary — but one particular plot point that heavily defines Nami’s Season 2 arc is her connection with Charithra Chandran’s Vivi. And now we know, according to Rudd, that’ll be a driving force for her character in Season 3 as well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
