After going on a ‘59 Wilt Chamberlain run with his critically acclaimed first season, Beef creator and EP Lee Sung Jin is ready for a second serving. While there are no deals in place, Deadline reported that Jin is in talks with new indie darlings Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny to have an on-screen feud with Brokeback Mountain duo Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal for the next season of Beef. If everything falls into place for the Netflix darling, it would continue the trend of highly-lauded limited series becoming not-so-limited, as we recently saw with the guests of The White Lotus. Let’s just hope Gyllenhaal doesn’t read his lines in a “Pepe Le Pew-like accent.”

Whatever it is you’re looking for, the Pope of Trash probably has it, and he’s coming back for his first film in 20 years. John Waters is reportedly returning to his hometown of Baltimore to adapt his 2022 novel Liarmouth with Hollywood’s crassest princess, Aubrey Plaza, set to star. Waters’ “feel-bad romance” is described as a “hilariously filthy tale of sex, crime and family dysfunction.” Love live the Sultan of Sleaze.
