The key art for ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ season 5. (Disney, Hulu)
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.

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.

This Christmas Eve, you can expect the gift of Emily in Paris.
Netflix has announced that the sixth and final season of the popular romance series will premiere on Dec. 24.
Lily Collins once again stars as the titular American marketing executive who moved overseas for work. Season 6 is still in production in France. The season started production in Greece back in May. Darren Star created the show, which he also executive produces and writes for.
“I wanted the final season to feel like the biggest Emily in Paris experience yet,” Star said in a press release. “We went to multiple locations this season, and Greece was somewhere we really wanted to showcase in a spectacular way. That’s part of the fantasy of Europe: you’re always within reach of another extraordinary place, another culture, another adventure. 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.

Tim Curry, the British actor known for scene-stealing roles in cult classics and blockbusters ranging from The Rocky Horror Picture Show to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, has died, his publisher at Grand Central confirmed. He was 80.
The publisher declined further comment on the death of the beloved actor. The Los Angeles Police Department said officers responded to the actor’s home overnight for a death investigation, which they concluded without finding anything suspicious.
The actor survived a stroke in 2012 that left him requiring the use of a wheelchair and limited his work mostly to voice acting and guest appearances at fan events.
Born in Cheshire, England, Curry began his career on the London stage in the 1970s, performing in the original West End production of Hair. He later appeared on Broadway in Tom Stoppard’s Travesties and in Amadeus. For the latter, he received a Tony nomination for best actor in a play.
Curry was probably best known for playing mad scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the cult musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The actor originated the character on the West End stage in the early 1970s before reprising the role for the 1975 film adaptation. Thanks in large part to midnight showings, the film has the longest-running theatrical release in history.
Curry’s talent for playing campy villains, coupled with his recognizable baritone voice, landed him a series of memorable roles throughout the 1980s, including as the butler Wadsworth in Clue, the Lord of Darkness in the fantasy film Willow and the shape-shifting clown Pennywise in the TV miniseries It, adapted from Stephen King’s novel.
The actor starred in a string of Hollywood films throughout the 1990s and 2000s, with major roles in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, The Three Musketeers, The Hunt for Red October and Charlie’s Angels. He made frequent guest appearances on TV shows as well, including Roseanne, Will & Grace and Monk.
Curry was also a prolific voice actor, winning a Daytime Emmy for his performance as Captain Hook in the animated series Peter Pan and the Pirates. He voiced Nigel Thornberry on the Nickelodeon series The Wild Thornberrys, and appeared in the films FernGully: The Last Rainforest and The Rugrats Movie.
An accomplished singer, Curry appeared on various movie soundtracks and released three solo albums. His 1979 single “I Do the Rock” charted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
In 2004, Curry returned to Broadway, originating the role of King Arthur in Spamalot, the hit comedy musical written by Monty Python member Eric Idle and based on the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The performance earned him a Tony nomination for best performance by a leading actor in a musical.
Three years after his stroke, Curry made a rare public appearance to accept the Actors Fund’s lifetime achievement award and reflected on his use of humor amid his recovery.
“It’s not tough to maintain,” he told Los Angeles Magazine about his sense of humor. “It is just part of my DNA.”
Curry also reflected on his iconic role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. “It’s neither a blessing nor a curse. I was lucky to get it,” he told the magazine.

Dolly Parton, who died Tuesday at the age of 80 following a brief battle with cancer, revealed more than a decade ago which song she hoped would be part of her final farewell.
In a 2014 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Parton was asked which song she would want played at her funeral.
Parton said she wanted the country-gospel hymn “If We Never Meet Again” to be sung. The song was a favorite of her father, Lee Parton, and had also been performed at his funeral following his death in 2000, she said.
Parton had also made plans for her funeral well before her death. Her representatives confirmed that the singer requested a small, private service for immediate family members.
Her nephew and head of security, Bryan Seaver, also shared that Parton wanted to be laid to rest in a “beautiful bed of plush cotton.”
But even after that final goodbye, Parton has another piece of music waiting for fans.
An unreleased song titled “My Place in History” remains locked inside a chestnut box at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Parton wrote and recorded the song in 2015, the year the resort opened, with instructions that the box remain sealed until Jan. 19, 2046, which would have marked her 100th birthday.
The recording is stored on a CD, and Parton even included a CD player inside the box to make sure people would still have a way to listen to it decades later. The unusual arrangement effectively turned the song into a musical time capsule.
In her 2020 book, Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics, Parton joked about whether the technology would survive long enough for the plan to work.
“There’s no telling what music is going to be by then,” she wrote. “Hopefully, it will play and the whole thing ain’t rotted.”
Parton was 69 when she recorded “My Place in History” and initially entertained the possibility that she might be there when the box was opened.
“I might, and if I do, I’m going to be at that opening,” she wrote.
While fans will have to wait two decades to hear that recording, another of Parton’s final projects will move forward much sooner.
Dolly: A True Original Musical, the Broadway production based on Parton’s life and career, will proceed with its previously announced schedule following her death. The musical will begin previews Dec. 7 at the St. James Theatre in New York City before officially opening Jan. 19, 2027, which would have been Parton’s 81st birthday.
“As was Dolly’s wish, the Broadway run of DOLLY: A True Original Musical will begin previews December 7 at the St. James Theatre in New York City,” the production said in a statement.

Kaling took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a photo carousel filled with memories from making the series.
“I love this show, I loved making this show, I love these people, and I love all of you for all your sweet comments, messages, edits and for watching @NotSuitableForWork,” Kaling captioned her post.

Celebrities are offering their condolences following the death of country music superstar Dolly Parton, who died Tuesday at the age of 80.
Lily Tomlin, Parton’s longtime friend and one of her co-stars in the 1980 hit comedy 9 to 5, wrote on Instagram, “No words…” alongside a broken heart emoji.
The movie was Parton’s big-screen debut, and she wrote and performed the film’s chart-topping, Grammy-winning theme song.
Tomlin said at the 16th annual Governors Awards in 2025 that the song “9 to 5” was “so much bigger than any singular theme song on a movie soundtrack,” saying it “became an anthem for our culture of the time.”
She added at the time that Parton’s “humanitarian achievements are as staggering as her formidable singing career” and called her “one of the few people who remains in this world that everyone loves and respects.”
Country singer Kacey Musgraves wrote on social media on Tuesday, “This really really hurts.”
“The world feels a lot less sparkly all of a sudden,” Musgraves said. “So glad she’s with her Carl Dean.”
Dean, who was Parton’s husband of nearly 60 years, died last year at the age of 82.
Parton’s fellow country singer and actress Reba McEntire wrote on Instagram, “Dolly, thank you for all the wonderful things you did for us here on earth. Your love, your music and you gave so much with your huge huge heart.”
“There will never ever be another you. We will remember and cherish every memory and every note you ever played and sang,” she continued. “I’ll never forget the first time I met you and I’ll never forget our last conversation. I hold it with love in my heart.”
The Jacksons called Parton a “true trailblazer” in a statement on Instagram.
“Through her extraordinary talent, kindness and generosity, she opened doors and inspired generations around the world. We share this special memory from 1977, when we had the honor of meeting Dolly in England on the same day we also met Queen Elizabeth II,” the Jacksons wrote alongside a carousel of images. “Thank you, Dolly, for the music, the joy and the light you shared with us all.”
“Our prayers are with Dolly’s family, friends and everyone whose life she touched. … Your beautiful spirit and remarkable legacy will live on forever,” the Jacksons said.
Khloe Kardashian, a Parton superfan, wrote in an Instagram Story, “Some people are so extraordinary, their existence feels almost impossible. Dolly was one of those people.”
“A once-in-a-lifetime soul. A woman whose light, heart, talent and humanity changed this world forever,” Kardashian wrote. “To have admired her was a gift. To have met her, spent time in her presence, and somehow been lucky enough that Dolly Parton knew my name… I will never have words big enough for what that means to me.”
“What an astronomical human being. What a legacy. What a loss,” she added. “There will never be another Dolly.
Singer Kelly Clarkson also honored the legendary singer, writing on social media that Parton “had a way of making everyone feel special, and seen, and welcomed, and as if you were old friends.”
“I will miss her heart and her voice as I am sure millions will,” Clarkson said. “What an incredible gift and talent she was and still is with an amazing catalogue of art she has left behind for all of us.”
Jack White of The White Stripes, who covered Parton’s hit song “Jolene” in 2000, posted a photo of Parton on Instagram with the caption, “Instant Sainthood.”
Actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth wrote on Instagram that she was “heartbroken,” calling Parton her “ultimate inspiration.”
“I met Dolly on several occasions and she always made me feel like one of her own. She even agreed to sing with me on one of my records,” Chenoweth said. “The world has lost one of the best but I know we will never forget her because she is impossible to forget. I love you Dolly and I will ALWAYS love you.”
The Muppets also honored the iconic performer, saying in a statement on Facebook, “There will never be another quite like Dolly Parton. She was the ultimate singer, songwriter, actress, performer, and philanthropist. She filled the world with light and we are so grateful for every second we got to spend with her onstage and off.”
Actress Octavia Spencer called Parton “a gift to the world,” writing on social media, “[Y]our voice, your philanthropic heart, and warmth made us … feel seen and that the world was a pretty decent place.”
Actor Colman Domingo wrote on social media, “Dolly taught us that you can be anything and do anything and to do it with kindness. What a light. We are all grateful that we lived in a time of Dolly Parton. We will always love her.”
