Netflix House? Netflix House. It just doesn’t sound right. “Netflix House” feels wrong in the mouth — but I guess if the streamer is going for a Disneyesque empire, it’s better than Netflix Land. Either way, it’s happening: Netflix is moving from the digital space to the physical by buying up dearly departed department stores (now there’s a phrase that works). The first two Netflix Houses will open in malls in Dallas, Texas, and King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, in 2025 per a press release.

Harvey Weinstein Update, August 24: The New York State Court of Appeals has agreed to hear Harvey Weinstein’s appeal in his rape and sexual assault case. Weinstein fought his conviction in a lower appeals court, but it ruled against him in June. This development means that Weinstein has another chance to fight his conviction, this time in front of New York’s highest state court. In a statement, Weinstein’s spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, said: “We are hopeful and grateful for this rare opportunity and believe that granting Harvey Weinstein and his lawyers leave to make the appeal to the NY Court of Appeals demonstrates that there is, in fact, merit to the appeal.

Horse girls. Wolf girls. Girls who role-played Warriors at recess. If you haven’t thought about this particular subtype of kid since fifth grade, sorry for this trailer, because it’s about to unlock something. In the upcoming movie Wolf, George MacKay and Lily-Rose Depp play young adults at conversion therapy for “species dysphoria,” meaning they feel that they are different species of animal trapped in human bodies. The trailer depicts this metaphorical conceit as something halfway between The Lobster in reverse and Boy Erased but for otherkin, as if George MacKay saw Lucas Hedges’s performance and ripped his shirt off and said “Bet.

“Winter is coming” is music to Peter Dinklage’s ears. And that has nothing to do with Game of Thrones. No, it means that Dinklage can bust out his vast scarf and knit-hat collection. Seriously, Dinklage loves winter accessories as much as Tyrion Lannister loves whores. His hats tend to be black, but his scarves come in a vibrant assortment of colors, patterns, and textures. In honor of the Northern Hemisphere’s rapidly rising temperatures, we put together this tribute to Dinklage’s serious winter-clothes game.

Scott Foley has never done reality TV before, but you wouldn’t know it watching him host Ellen’s Next Great Designer. He’s such a natural on the furniture-design competition show, named after producer (and avowed design lover) Ellen DeGeneres, that it should really be called Scott Foley’s Next Great Designer. He’s the one greeting contestants, assigning them challenges, judging their work with co-panelists Brigette Romanek and Fernando Mastrangelo, and visiting them in their studios to offer encouragement (or, in the case of one contestant, a gentle reminder that referring to him as Noel, his character from Felicity, makes them both look old).

As the number of public accusations of sexual harassment, assault, and rape lodged against Harvey Weinstein climb, claims that those familiar with the former studio head did not know about his reputation become more and more difficult to believe. In a new Facebook post, screenwriter Scott Rosenberg offers his perspective on the disgraced producer, whom he worked for during Miramax’s late-’90s “golden age,” in the form of a confessional poem.

The Writers Guild of America this weekend released a list of the “101 Best Written TV Series of All Time,” and several comedies ranked high on the list, which was determined by online voting by WGA members. While The Sopranos took the top spot, the list also included comedies like Seinfeld (#2), All in the Family (#4), M*A*S*H (#5), The Mary Tyler Moore Show (#6), Cheers (#8), and The Simpsons (#11).

We’re in a safe space to share this news: Jessica Alba, a reigning queen of hard-boiled action for the big screen when she isn’t running a near-billion-dollar wellness company, will be starring in a new drama film for Netflix called Trigger Warning. THR reports that Alba will portray a traumatized veteran who “inherits her grandfather’s bar and faces a moral dilemma after learning the truth behind his untimely death,” which, if we had to guess, involves quite a large conspiracy that will bring forth even more untimely deaths.

Just your standard niece-uncle behavior (if you’re Targaryen, that is). At the end of the fourth episode of House of the Dragon, King Viserys is about as angry as we’ve ever seen him. His daughter and heir, Rhaenyra, stands accused of being intimate with his brother — her uncle — Daemon. They may not have consummated the deed, but they certainly almost did, and Rhaenyra, at least, was super into it.
