Paramount+ Announces New Documentary 'The Carters'

PARAMOUNT+ ANNOUNCES NEW DOCUMENTARY THE CARTERS

The Two-Part Documentary is a Raw and Intimate Look Inside the Celebrity Family of Boy Band Superstars Nick and Aaron Carter Told by the Singers’ Sister Angel, and Follows Fame’s Devastating Toll on Their Family

From Director Soleil Moon Frye and See It Now Studios, The Carters Will Be Available to Stream Exclusively on Paramount+ Later This Year

Jan. 22, 2025 – Paramount+ today announced THE CARTERS, a new two-part documentary that takes a deeply personal look at the extreme highs and tragic lows of a family propelled into the spotlight by the meteoric rise of the musical careers of two brothers, Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys) and the late pop sensation Aaron Carter.

The two-part documentary from director Soleil Moon Frye (Kid 90, Punky Brewster, Sabrina the Teenage Witch) unravels a deeply disturbing path told by Angel Conrad, the singers’ sister, along with first-time interviews with friends Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Explains It All, Sabrina the Teenage Witch) and Scout Willis (Bandits). Never-before-seen home movies that detail the brothers’ rise to fame and the devastating toll it took on their family also help tell the Carters’ story. Produced by See It Now Studios and Candle True Stories, THE CARTERS will be available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ in 2025.

“I feel morally responsible to create a safe space for others to share their truths,” said Frye. “Angel’s courage in sharing her family's journey of mental health issues, addiction, pain, unbearable loss, and at the core, love, is a profound testament to who she is. Her mission is understanding how to transform grief and suffering into light that can heal even our most broken parts. This film, we hope, will help others who are struggling to see that through the pain and trauma Angel’s family has endured, meaningful change will come for her, her brother Nick, and the world.”

“This documentary is a labor of love for my family,” said Angel. “By sharing our true story - one shaped by loss, resilience, and healing - I hope to honor our journey and transform our past into a message of hope and purpose for others facing similar challenges.”

“Rarely can a director develop a deep trust of someone who has suffered great loss,” said Susan Zirinsky, President of See It Now Studios. “Angel Conrad has a painful story that she was willing to share with director Soleil Moon Frye. Stepping inside the family’s secrets where no one sees your pain is what Frye felt was a mission for Angel to talk about the fame, expectations, addiction, assumptions and at the heart of it all - critical mental health issues.”

THE CARTERS follows bona fide American teen heartthrobs, Nick and Aaron, who seemed to have it all, but behind their remarkable gifts was a family dealing with mental health struggles, drug addiction, and heartbreaking neglect. Their story is told by Aaron’s twin sister, Angel, who unpacks the complicated family dynamics that led to the untimely deaths of three of the original five Carter kids as well as their father. The often enchanting but ultimately painful story of these engaging siblings begins in childhood as home movies reveal Nick and Aaron’s undeniable and precocious talent. But fame and fortune were accompanied by rivalries, jealousies, and exploitation from those they relied on most, their parents. It is a sad and eye-opening tale shared by Angel and close family friends who also live in the spotlight including Melissa Joan Hart and Scout Willis. The film features exclusive interviews with those closest to the family, some who have never spoken out before.

THE CARTERS is executive produced by James Goldston, Steven Baker, Cynthia Childs, and Soleil Moon Frye, who also serves as director, and is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. For See It Now Studios, Susan Zirinsky and Terence Wrong executive produce, and Aysu Saliba and Cara Tortora are supervising producers.

SHOWTIME Debuts Trailer For 'Yellowjackets' Season Three

SHOWTIME® DEBUTS YELLOWJACKETS MUCH ANTICIPATED SEASON THREE TRAILER

Emmy®-Nominated Series to Premiere with Two Episodes Friday, February 14, 2025 on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME Plan

Paramount+ with SHOWTIME today revealed the official trailer for the third season of the SHOWTIME® original Emmy®-nominated series, YELLOWJACKETS.

The two-episode season premiere debuts Friday, February 14 on streaming and on demand for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan before its on-air debut on Sunday, February 16 at 8pm ET/PT. Internationally, the title will launch exclusively on Paramount+ in the UK, Australia, Latin America, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The season will also be available on Paramount+ France later in the year. Visit ParamountPlus.com for a free trial.


Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson (Narcos), YELLOWJACKETS is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, the series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.

In season three, as summer arrives, the Yellowjackets face a fragile victory—the brutal winter that nearly claimed them is finally behind them, but distrust in leadership and tension within the team jeopardize their chances of being rescued. In the present, long-buried secrets from their pasts begin to surface. As the women fight to keep their lives from unraveling, they must confront a chilling question: who are they really, and what dark truths are they hiding from each other and themselves?

YELLOWJACKETS stars Emmy nominee and Critics Choice Award winner Melanie Lynskey (Castle Rock), Emmy nominee Christina Ricci (Z: The Beginning of Everything), Tawny Cypress (Unforgettable), Emmy nominee Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under), Sophie Nélisse (The Book Thief), Jasmin Savoy Brown (The Leftovers), Sophie Thatcher (Heretic), Samantha Hanratty (Shameless), Courtney Eaton (Mad Max: Fury Road), Liv Hewson (Santa Clarita Diet), Steven Krueger (The Originals), Warren Kole (Shades of Blue), Kevin Alves (Locke & Key), Sarah Desjardins (The Night Agent) and Simone Kessell (Obi-Wan Kenobi), with Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) returning in a recurring role.

Two-time Academy Award®-winning actress Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby) guest stars this season and joins the all-star cast, along with Joel McHale (Community).

YELLOWJACKETS is executive produced by Lyle, Nickerson and fellow showrunner Jonathan Lisco. Drew Comins of Creative Engine also serves as executive producer along with Jeff W. Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa and Brad Van Arragon. The series is produced for SHOWTIME® by Lionsgate Television. 

YELLOWJACKETS is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Mad Cave Unveils First Look at The Casagrandes’ Spanish Language Graphic Novel Debut

Get your first look at The Casagrandes’ spanish-language debut from Mad Cave Studios

'Los Casagrande 3-in-1: Vol. 1' Cover

The Casagrandes have been a delightful fixture on Television and in comics, and now they are set to make their Spanish language debut courtesy of Mad Cave Studios and Papercutz.

Los Casagrande 3-in-1: Vol. 1, featuring the first-ever Casagrandes volume of stories published in Spanish, will release this February, but you can check out the cover right now in the image below, courtesy of ComicBook.com!

Los Casagrande 3-in-1: Vol. 1 will feature stories from the same creative team behind the hit Nickelodeon one two punch of The Loud House and The Casagrandes, and as the name suggests, the volume collects stories from the first three Casagrandes graphic novels. Those include "We’re All Familia", "Everything for Family", and "Brand Stinkin New".

Papercutz editor Stephanie Brooks said, “THE CASAGRANDES is a fantastic IP featuring a multilingual multigenerational family. The original cartoon and books were fantastic for representing Latine culture and for representing to viewers/readers basic Spanish vocab and culture. The Spanish Edition of LOS CASAGRANDES continues to cater to Spanish readers of all varieties but with greater vocabulary and the translation further emphasizes the importance of Mad Cave Studios’ origins and educational aspirations. The Spanish Edition will be great for anyone, and readers will adore Ronnie Anne and her grande familia. Mercedes Guhl, our translator, did an incredible job keeping the series’ tone, and Miguel A. Zapata lettered the comics beautifully. We are so proud of this first volume.”

“We’re incredibly excited to bring Casagrandes to Spanish-speaking readers for the first time in this unique collection filled with heart, humor, and multigenerational family dynamics,” said Mad Cave Marketing Director Allison Pond. “This collection not only resonates across cultures, but also serves as a valuable tool for bilingual and multicultural education, helping students connect with relatable characters while enhancing language and cultural understanding.”

You can check out the cover for the new collection above, and you can find the official desctipion in both Spanish and English below.

“Cuando la amiga de Lincoln Loud, Ronnie Anne, y su hermano, Bobby Santiago, se mudaron de Royal Woods a la gran ciudad, no tenían ni idea de que estaban a punto de comenzar un nuevo y emocionante capítulo en sus vidas. Ahora viven en un apartamento arriba del mercado de su abuelo, y junto a su madre María se están adaptando a dejar de ser una familia de tres en Royal Woods, para ser una familia numerosa liderada por los abuelos Héctor y Rosa en Great Lakes City.

Presentando las mejores historias de las tres primeras novelas gráficas: Todos somos Familia, Todo por la Familia y Apestosamente Nuevo, ésta gran colección en español es imperdible para los fans de The Loud House y Los Casagrande.”

Los Casagrande 3 en 1: Vol 1 saldrá el 18 de febrero de 2025.

“When Lincoln Loud’s close friend Ronnie Anne and her brother Bobby Santiago moved away from Royal Oaks to the Big City, they had no idea that they were about to start an exciting new chapter in their lives, while living in an apartment above their abuelo’s Mercado. Together with their mom, Maria, they are adapting from going to a family of three in Royal Oaks to living with their whole extended family, headed by the kids’ abuelos, Hector and Rosa, in the big city. Now, The Casagrandes are starring in their own popular animated series on Nickelodeon! Collecting The Casagrandes’s greatest comic stories from the hit The Loud House graphic novel series.”

Los Casagrande 3-in-1 Vol. 1 will release on February 18th.

‘Sonic the Hedgehog 4’ Sets Spring 2027 Release Date

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is sprinting to theaters in the spring of 2027.

Knuckles (Idris Elba), Sonic (Ben Schwartz) and Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) in 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' from Paramount Pictures and Sega of America, Inc.
Knuckles (Idris Elba), Sonic (Ben Schwartz) and Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 from Paramount Pictures and Sega of America, Inc.

The fourth installment in Paramount’s family-friendly franchise will be released on March 19, 2027. It’s currently the only title on that date, though that’s sure to change over the next two years.

Paramount announced the fourquel in the Sega video game-inspired series even before the third Sonic the Hedgehog adventure hit the big screen. It’s a decision that turned out to be prescient given that Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which debuted in December, is officially the property’s highest-grossing entry with $218 million domestically and $422 million globally to date.

Sonic 3 builds on the commercial success of its predecessors; the original 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog earnt $148 million domestically and $319 million globally, setting a then-record for the highest-grossing video game adaptation in North America. And the 2022 sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was bigger than the first, powering to $190 million domestically and $405 million globally. Earlier in January, the Sonic film franchise collectively surpassed $1 billion in box office receipts worldwide.

And that’s just the windfall from theatrical. Paramount reported that Sonic has driven over $180 million in global consumer spending from home entertainment rentals and digital purchases. There’s also the Paramount+ spinoff television series Knuckles, which premiered in 2024.

Jeff Fowler has directed all three Sonic films, with Ben Schwartz providing the voice of the blue, anthropomorphic speedster with a knack for busting bad guys. Jim Carrey plays the hedgehog’s main antagonist Dr. Robotnik, while Idris Elba and Colleen O’Shaughnessey voice Sonic’s pals Knuckles and Tails. In the third live-action/ CGI hybrid adventure, Keanu Reeves voices the mysterious Shadow the Hedgehog while Carrey does double duty as Dr. Robotnik’s grandfather, Gerald.

Plot details on Sonic the Hedgehog 4 are — you guessed it — being kept under wraps. However, there's a hint at what comes next in the Sonic movie universe during Sonic the Hedgehog 3's post-credits scene.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is available on Digital today, and will arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, and DVD on April 15, 2025. The 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray Combo will also be available in two collectible SteelBooks™ while supplies last. A Paramount+ release date is still to be announced.

'Monster High', 'The Loud House', 'The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish' and 'The Really Loud House' Receive Nominations In 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards

GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, today announced the nominees of the 36th GLAAD Media Awards. In a time of unprecedented challenges for LGBTQ people, LGBTQ stories are the antidote to anti-LGBTQ violence, legislation and disinformation.

36th GLAAD Media Awards

The Nickelodeon animated series The Loud House has been nominated for the "Outstanding Kids & Family Programming or Film – Animated" award in this year's GLAAD Media Awards, whilst its live-action spin-off The Really Loud House has been nominated for "Outstanding Kids & Family Programming or Film – Live Action" for the episode “Louds in Love”.

Meanwhile, The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish and Monster High have both received a nomination in the "Outstanding Children’s Programming" category of the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.

Additionally, the “Aunt Praline’s Sweetie Pie” episode of Paramount+'s Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City has been nominated for the "Outstanding Children’s Programming" award, with SHOWTIME's The Chi and Paramount+'s Star Trek: Discovery earning nominations in the "Outstanding Drama Series" category, and Paramount Pictures' Mean Girls earning a nomination for "Outstanding Film – Wide Theatrical Release".

GLAAD’s mission to accelerate acceptance and understanding for LGBTQ people through visibility in media stands stronger than ever, with the 36th GLAAD Media Awards spotlighting 303 culture-changing nominees across 33 categories, honoring outstanding fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues in film, television, gaming, publishing, stage productions, music, podcasting, journalism, and more.

Since 1990, the GLAAD Media Awards have grown to be the most visible annual LGBTQ awards show in the world, sending powerful messages of acceptance to audiences globally. Nominees for the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards reflect work published, released, or broadcast between January 1 and December 31, 2024.

GLAAD routinely reviews the accuracy and impact of GLAAD Media Awards categories to best reflect the ever-evolving media landscape, including the ways in which media is consumed by audiences and consumers alike. As such, and in recognition of the profusion of news sources in the overall media landscape, this year, GLAAD celebrates the category of Outstanding Blog being updated to Outstanding Independent Journalism. This expanded category will recognize creators and independent news organizations that drive journalism and commentary for and about LGBTQ people and issues.

A full list of nominees in the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards can be found at https://glaad.org/mediaawards/36/nominees. Tag and follow #GLAADawards and @glaad for updates and reactions from nominees.

Statement by GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis:
“The GLAAD Media Awards were created nearly four decades ago to champion LGBTQ stories amid a deeply hostile and unsafe time for our community. Today, this mission holds true and ever-more important as attacks against LGBTQ people are not only growing, but finding new avenues. Whether it’s rampant misinformation or defamation of transgender people, LGBTQ youth, or the shocking corporate rollback of policies and programs that keep LGBTQ people seen and safe in a workforce, what will always prevail is our truth and talent. This year’s nominees for the 36th GLAAD Media Awards represent the best of our vibrant community, spanning across all media, genres and mediums, and send a loud and global message to industry leaders that our stories are not only popular and entertaining, but necessary and culture-changing.”

The GLAAD Media Awards ceremony, which powers GLAAD’s work to accelerate LGBTQ acceptance and visibility in media all year round, will be held this year in Los Angeles.

GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis serves as Executive Producer of the 36th GLAAD Media Awards, alongside GLAAD’s Rich Ferraro and Anthony Allen Ramos. GLAAD’s Tony Morrison will serve as Supervising Producer and Jose Useche will serve as Producer. The ceremony is produced in partnership with STAMP Event Co.

The 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards are presented by: Official Sponsors, Delta Air Lines, Hornitos and Sony Music Group

SPECIAL RECOGNITION

Each year, GLAAD presents non-competitive honors to projects across entertainment and media that do not fit into existing or traditional GLAAD Media Awards categories. Spotlighting the strength, resilience and ingenuity of the LGBTQ community, GLAAD has chosen six projects to receive this honor for the 36th GLAAD Media Awards.

For their immeasurable impact and contributions to LGBTQ acceptance and visibility, GLAAD has awarded the Special Recognition honor to: “DRAG: The Musical,” “La Verdrag” (Canal Once), OUTLOUD, “Red Ink: A Tribute to Cecilia Gentili,” The Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, “The Q Agenda” (LatiNation), and WNBA 2024 Champions: The New York Liberty.

GLAAD’s Barbara Gittings Award for Excellence in LGBTQ Media honors a pioneering individual, group, or community media outlet that has made a significant contribution to the development of LGBTQ media. The award is named after Barbara Gittings in recognition of her groundbreaking work as editor of The Ladder, and for her appearances as an out lesbian on national news media throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

This year, GLAAD’s Barbara Gittings Award for Excellence in LGBTQ Media is presented to: Q.Digital
