Indian rapper-singer Badshah (Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia) is reported to have married Punjabi actress-model Isha Rikhi in a low-key ceremony, after photos and videos from the event circulated widely online on March 24, 2026. Clips and images shared on Instagram by Isha’s mother, Poonam Rikhi, appear to show traditional wedding rituals including varmala and pheras; some stills show the actress wearing sindoor and bridal accessories. In the footage Badshah is seen in traditional kurta and saafa. Neither Badshah nor Isha have issued an official statement confirming the marriage. Reports say the couple had been linked for about four years. The coverage notes this would be Badshah’s second marriage; he was previously married to Jasmine Masih, with whom he has a daughter, Jessemy Grace Masih Singh, who lives in London. The reports come amid heightened public scrutiny of Badshah following controversy around his March 2026 Haryanvi single “Tateeree,” though outlets emphasise the wedding appears to have been a private family event rather than a publicity stunt.

Netflix confirmed on March 24, 2026 that production has begun on Bridgerton season five, which will center on Hannah Dodd’s Francesca Bridgerton and Masali Baduza’s Michaela Stirling. The eight-episode season, filming in the UK, adapts elements of Julia Quinn’s When He Was Wicked but gender-swaps the book’s Michael into Michaela, marking the series’ first main same-sex romance. Netflix released a teaser showing the pair together and published a synopsis: two years after the death of Francesca’s husband John Stirling, Francesca re-enters the marriage mart for practical reasons and finds her plans upended when Michaela returns to London to tend the Kilmartin estate. Showrunner Jess Brownell has framed the season as a story of “yearning” and queer joy, saying the writers researched ways to portray a sapphic relationship within the Regency-era world. Julia Quinn and several executive producers, including Shonda Rhimes, have publicly supported the direction. The announcement has drawn a mix of excitement and criticism from fans—some disappointed Eloise’s storyline was deferred—but the streamer says seasons five and six were already greenlit and the series will continue to explore the remaining Bridgerton books.

Paramount has announced that Dutton Ranch, a high-profile spinoff of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone, will premiere on Paramount+ (and air on the Paramount Network) on May 15, launching with two episodes at 8 p.m. ET/PT followed by weekly releases across a nine-episode first season. The series follows fan-favorites Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) as they relocate to South Texas with their ward Carter (Finn Little) and clash with a ruthless rival ranch. Paramount released a teaser and first-look images in late March that emphasize violence and rivalry; the cast also includes Annette Bening, Ed Harris, Jai Courtney, Juan Pablo Raba, Marc Menchaca, Natalie Alyn Lind and J.R. Villarreal. Chad Feehan serves as creator and showrunner; Taylor Sheridan and John Linson remain executive producers. Produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, Dutton Ranch arrives shortly after Marshals and The Madison in a busy 2026 rollout of Sheridan-linked projects and revives a core Yellowstone storyline for Paramount+’s streaming slate.

On 24 March 2026 producers of the BBC series The Repair Shop halted and removed a filmed segment after discovering material in handwritten joke books belonging to late comedian Bob Monkhouse that was judged inappropriate for broadcast. Ricochet, the series' production company, said the books — brought into the show's barn by Monkhouse's former writing partner Colin Edmonds and his adopted daughter Abigail Williams — contained numerous gags and illustrations dating from the 1960s that were not suitable for a programme. Joanna Ball, Ricochet's managing director, said the item was returned to the family and filming of the piece was not completed. The notebooks, long part of Monkhouse's archive and famously stolen in 1995 before being recovered, reportedly include cartoons of topless women and material some outlets described as sexist by modern standards. The decision prompted criticism from commentators and tabloid coverage accusing the broadcaster of 'caving in' to sensitivities, while the BBC described the move as a production decision made in consideration of viewers.

Kirsten Dunst has been cast alongside Sydney Sweeney in Lionsgate’s The Housemaid’s Secret, the sequel to the 2025 psychological thriller The Housemaid, which grossed nearly $400 million worldwide. The film is based on Freida McFadden’s second Housemaid novel and continues the story of Millie Calloway, played by Sweeney, as she takes a new job in a wealthy household and uncovers dangerous secrets behind a locked door. Lionsgate said Dunst will play Mrs. Wendy Garrick, the reclusive employer at the center of the new mystery. Paul Feig is returning to direct, with Rebecca Sonnenshine back to adapt the screenplay. Michele Morrone will reprise his role as Enzo. Lionsgate confirmed the project on March 23, with production expected to begin later in 2026 and no release date yet announced. The casting comes as Dunst remains in demand, having recently signed on for the sequel to A Minecraft Movie and Ruben Östlund’s The Entertainment System Is Down.
