Scandals, Sequels, and Gold: News Heats Up!

Series Mania, Europe's largest TV festival, is set to open with the world premiere of "The Testaments," a sequel to the acclaimed series "The Handmaid's Tale," according to Variety. The festival, which will also feature "The Audacity" starring "The Big Bang Theory" actor Simon Helberg, will see the attendance of "The Testaments" showrunner Bruce Miller and cast member Ann Dowd.

The festival news comes as the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina are marred by scandals, including credit card theft and reports of athletes' personal drama, as reported by Vox. Meanwhile, the film "A Prayer for the Dying," starring Johnny Flynn, John C. Reilly, and Kristine Kujath Thorp, launched a trailer ahead of its Berlinale premiere, as revealed by Variety. The film is set to premiere in Berlinale's Perspectives section.

In the realm of sports, France secured the gold medal in ice dance at the Olympics, with Madison Chock and Evan Bates of the U.S. taking silver, according to Time. Canada's Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier earned bronze. The podium was full of surprises, as Great Britain's Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson, current world bronze medalists, finished in seventh after Fear faltered during the synchronized twizzles.

The political landscape is also shifting, with Vox highlighting how Catholics could be key to the opposition against Donald Trump's second administration. Katherine Kelaidis, a research associate at the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies in the United Kingdom, noted that Trump's second administration has been a reckoning for America, and perhaps especially for America's Christians.

The Olympics have been a source of both athletic achievement and controversy. "Generally speaking, the athlete stories that come out of the Olympic Games are about the countless hours spent on the ice, on the," according to Alex Abad-Santos of Vox. The games have been overshadowed by the personal drama of the athletes.
