Walt Disney Studios has begun early development work on a third installment of the "National Treasure" adventure franchise, according to industry insider Daniel Richtman, who has a track record of accurately revealing upcoming studio projects.

Disney has not formally announced the project or set a release date, but the reported move would revive a series that last reached cinemas with 2007’s $459 million-grossing sequel "National Treasure: Book of Secrets." No cast or director attachments were disclosed.

The City of New York has officially renamed the corner of Delancey and Essex streets on the Lower East Side to Jack Kirby Way and Yancy Street, honoring the legendary Marvel and DC comic book artist Jack Kirby. This location marks Kirby's birthplace and childhood neighborhood. A commemorative sign celebrating Kirby was installed as part of the dedication ceremony, which was attended by Kirby's family and Marvel Comics creators. The tribute coincides with the upcoming release of a new Fantastic Four film, one of Kirby's most famous creations. The renaming also references Yancy Street, an iconic Marvel Comics location associated with the Fantastic Four series.

20th Century Studios has commissioned a new installment of the “Night at the Museum” franchise, hiring screenwriter Tripper Clancy – whose credits include the “Die Hart” films and “Stuber” – to draft a reimagining of the family comedy series. The project will be produced by Shawn Levy and Dan Levine through their 21 Laps Entertainment banner, with 21 Laps executive Emily Morris overseeing development for the company.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but sources say the film will unfold at the museum with an entirely new cast of characters rather than revisiting Ben Stiller’s original protagonist. A director and release timetable have not yet been announced.

The reboot revives a property that has generated more than $1.3 billion from three live-action releases in 2006, 2009 and 2014, plus the 2022 animated feature “Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again.” The move follows Disney’s 2019 acquisition of 20th Century Fox, now 20th Century Studios, as the studio looks to extend one of its most lucrative family franchises.

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is slated to return to the lineup on Wednesday after missing the past five games with a left groin injury. The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year was removed from the club’s injury report on Tuesday following a full-contact practice and is expected to start when the Fever host the expansion Golden State Valkyries at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Head coach Stephanie White said Clark will re-enter the rotation "barring any setbacks" and praised the guard’s efforts to stay engaged during rehabilitation. Clark last played on June 24 and has sat out a total of 10 contests this year, during which Indiana went 5-5. Despite the interruption, she leads the league with 8.9 assists while averaging 18.2 points and 5.0 rebounds in 33.3 minutes across nine games.

The Washington Commanders have unveiled a burgundy-and-gold “Super Bowl Era” alternate uniform that closely mirrors the jerseys and helmets the franchise wore during its four Super Bowl appearances between 1982 and 1991. Owner Josh Harris, whose sports portfolio was recently valued at $14.6 billion, has pushed to reconnect the club with its traditional colors, replacing the previous redesign that had drawn mixed reviews.

ESPN has signed analyst Dan Orlovsky to a new multi-year contract, keeping the former NFL quarterback as a central voice across the network’s football programming ahead of the 2025 season. The deal preserves Orlovsky’s roles on NFL Live, select Monday Night Football broadcasts alongside Chris Fowler and Louis Riddick, and regular appearances on SportsCenter, Get Up and First Take. Orlovsky, 41, joined ESPN in 2018 after a 12-year playing career and has become one of the network’s highest-profile film analysts.

The sports broadcaster also reached a separate two-year extension with longtime correspondent Sal Paolantonio, whose new agreement runs through May 2027 and will coincide with his 30th anniversary at ESPN on Aug. 1. The twin renewals solidify the network’s NFL talent roster as it prepares for the coming preseason and a media landscape increasingly shaped by high-profile analyst moves.

Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg will make his first appearance in team colors on 10 July, when the No. 1 overall draft pick faces Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the opening game of the NBA’s Las Vegas Summer League. ESPN will carry the 7 p.m. Pacific tip-off, and secondary-market seller TickPick says general-admission seats start at $83, while courtside access exceeds $2,500—easily the highest pricing recorded for a Summer League fixture.

Disney’s 20th Century Studios has expanded the cast of its upcoming sequel "The Devil Wears Prada 2," adding Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet to the ensemble. They will appear alongside original stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, with Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman also set to reprise their roles.

David Frankel returns to direct and Aline Brosh McKenna to write the follow-up to the 2006 hit, which grossed $326 million worldwide and earned Streep an Oscar nomination. Plot details remain under wraps, but the story is expected to revisit Miranda Priestly as she confronts the decline of print magazines and clashes with Blunt’s now-powerful fashion-industry executive.

Production is under way, and the studio has scheduled a theatrical release for May 1, 2026.

The Big East Conference and ESPN have agreed to a new six-year digital media rights deal, marking the renewal of their historic partnership after more than a decade since their last split. The agreement, effective from the 2025-26 season, will grant ESPN the rights to broadcast hundreds of Big East events, including men’s and women’s basketball, across 22 sports. This deal will also provide additional content for ESPN’s upcoming direct-to-consumer platform, scheduled to launch in the fall of 2025.

The Southeastern Conference has released the full roster of player representatives for its 2025 Football Media Days, which will run 14–17 July at the College Football Hall of Fame and the adjoining Omni Atlanta Hotel. All 16 member schools are sending three athletes alongside their head coaches, and the event will again be carried live on SEC Network.

Alabama’s contingent features defensive lineman Tim Keenan III, linebacker Deontae Lawson and offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor, while Texas—entering its second season in the league—will be represented by quarterback Arch Manning, linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. and safety Michael Taaffe. Oklahoma is sending quarterback John Mateer, safety Robert Spears-Jennings and defensive end R Mason Thomas.

The Walt Disney Co. and Hearst Corp. have begun exploring strategic options, including an outright sale, for their 50-50 joint venture A+E Global Media, according to people familiar with the matter. The partners have hired the investment-banking arm of Wells Fargo to gauge market interest in the company, which houses cable channels A&E Network, Lifetime and History as well as a portfolio of streaming apps, FAST channels and content studios.

The move comes as major media groups shed legacy cable assets amid accelerating cord-cutting and a pivot to streaming. NBCUniversal plans to spin off most of its cable networks into a new entity called Versant later this year, while Warner Bros. Discovery is preparing a similar separation of CNN, TNT, TBS and other linear channels. Sources cautioned that Disney and Hearst could decide to sell only parts of A+E or retain the business if bids fall short of expectations.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Nashville on 12 July with a 12-bout card at Bridgestone Arena, headlined by a heavyweight meeting between veteran knockout leader Derrick Lewis and fast-rising Brazilian Tallison “Xicão” Teixeira. Lewis, 40, holds a UFC-record 15 knockouts and is coming off a stoppage win over Rodrigo Nascimento. Teixeira, 25, has finished all eight of his professional opponents in under five minutes, most recently flattening Justin Tafa in 35 seconds in his promotional debut.

The main card, which airs on ESPN and ESPN+ at 9 p.m. Eastern (prelims begin at 6 p.m.), also features a welterweight co-main event matching former title challenger Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson against Brazilian prospect Gabriel Bonfim. Additional televised bouts pit Steve Garcia against Calvin Kattar at featherweight, hometown favourite Nate Landwehr against France’s Morgan Charriere, and heavyweight contests Vitor Petrino-Austen Lane and Junior Tafa-Tuco Tokkos.

Saturday’s show marks the UFC’s sixth trip to Music City and opens a seven-week stretch that will take the promotion to New Orleans, Abu Dhabi, Las Vegas, Chicago and Shanghai. Tickets remain on sale through the arena box office and UFC’s digital platforms.

Marvel Studios released a new teaser and promotional images on 8 July for its forthcoming live-action series “Wonder Man,” confirming that the show will debut on Disney+ in December 2025.

The series expands Marvel’s television slate on the streaming platform, following recent entries such as “Echo” and “Daredevil: Born Again.” Further casting details and an exact premiere date were not disclosed.

Wednesday marks 15 years since LeBron James stunned the NBA by announcing on live television that he would “take [his] talents to South Beach” and sign with the Miami Heat. The hour-long ESPN special, aired on 8 July 2010 and later dubbed “The Decision,” drew nearly 10 million viewers and generated about $2 million for the Boys & Girls Club of America.

The spectacle reshaped player movement in U.S. sports, accelerating the trend toward superstar empowerment and short-term contracts that give athletes greater leverage over their careers. James’ move also sparked an immediate backlash—particularly in his native Ohio, where Cleveland Cavaliers fans burned jerseys—and cast the Heat’s newly formed trio of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh as league villains until Miami captured back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013.

ABC has ordered a 30th season of “The Bachelor,” securing the long-running dating franchise through the 2025-26 broadcast cycle. The pickup cements the show’s status as one of network television’s most durable unscripted titles, debuting in 2002 and spawning numerous spin-offs and international editions.

Alongside the renewal, the network elevated Scott Teti to showrunner. Teti currently steers “Bachelor in Paradise” and is credited with refreshing that summer series by adding new compatibility challenges and relocating production to Costa Rica for its 10th season. He takes over the flagship from veteran executive producers Bennett Graebner and Claire Freeland, who remain with the franchise as executive producers.

ABC’s decision comes as competition in the reality-dating space intensifies, with Peacock’s “Love Island USA” posting record streaming engagement this summer. By giving the mothership series a creative overhaul ahead of its milestone year, the network aims to keep the brand competitive while expanding its cross-platform footprint on Hulu and Disney’s other streaming outlets.

Chicago Cubs fans roundly booed podcaster Alex Cooper during the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field on Sunday, 6 July. Cooper, 30, led “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” with two companions, delivering an exaggerated, off-key performance that drew audible jeers from much of the 40,319-strong crowd almost from the first note. Video of the moment spread quickly online.

The Cubs—already leading the St. Louis Cardinals 11-0 in a nationally televised game—had marketed the evening as “Big Al’s Takeover.” While the lopsided score left little suspense on the field, the reaction to Cooper’s rendition became the dominant storyline. The club offered no immediate comment on Monday.

ABC’s summer dating franchise “Bachelor in Paradise” returns to the schedule tonight after a two-year break, launching its 10th season at 8 p.m. Eastern. The series resumes with a fresh backdrop, relocating production from its long-time base in Sayulita, Mexico, to a beach resort in Costa Rica.

In a first for the format, the cast mixes 20 recent alumni of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” with ten older contestants drawn from the network’s “Golden Bachelor” and “Golden Bachelorette” spinoffs. Producers hope the inter-generational roster broadens the show’s appeal and introduces new story lines.

Jesse Palmer returns as host alongside resident bartender Wells Adams. Former Bachelorette Hannah Brown will oversee a newly created “Champagne Lounge” segment. New episodes air Mondays on ABC, with a one-off Tuesday episode on July 15; each installment streams the following day on Hulu. Cord-cutters can watch live via Fubo, DirecTV, Hulu + Live TV or Sling.

Smriti Irani is set to reprise her iconic role as Tulsi Virani in the reboot of the popular Indian television drama "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi," which originally aired over 25 years ago and featured more than 1,500 episodes. The reboot, titled "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2," will premiere on July 29 at 10:30 PM on Star Plus and will also be available for streaming on JioCinema. The first look of Irani as Tulsi, dressed in her classic saree and bindi, has been released and has generated considerable attention and nostalgia among viewers. Amar Upadhyay will also return to the series as Mihir.

The show, produced by Ekta Kapoor, is regarded as a defining story in Indian television history. Irani, who is also a politician, has expressed that returning to this role is not just a reprise but a return to a story that has shaped Indian TV and holds a special place in the hearts of millions. The reboot has received positive remarks from industry figures such as Ram Kapoor, who described it as beneficial for the entertainment industry. Irani has also pledged to use her involvement in the series to support India's creative sector. The reboot is highly anticipated, with media outlets providing exclusive interviews and coverage ahead of its launch.

Inside Edition has hired Eva Pilgrim, a longtime ABC News correspondent and co-anchor of “GMA3: What You Need to Know,” as its next host.

Executive producer Charles Lachman called the hire “winning the jackpot,” citing her reporting experience and on-air relatability. The show reaches nearly 10 million viewers each week.
