Varrick & Korra Reunite! John Michael Higgins Does The Thing | Braving the Elements | Avatar


Note: As of posting, this episode is currently unavailable in the U.K. and Ireland, however, the audio version can be listened to here.

John Michael Higgins, voice of the eccentric and endlessly quotable Varrick from The Legend of Korra, joins Janet Varney (Korra) and Dante Basco (Zuko) on this episode of Avatar: Braving the Elements! Higgins shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories and reflects on how Varrick became one of the most beloved (and morally ambiguous) characters in the Avatar universe. The conversation dives deep into Varrick's chaotic genius, his complex relationship with Zhu Li, and how his character embodies the tension between bending and technology in a post-ATLA world. We also dive into the unforgettable 'idea storm' scene, his platypus bear disguise, and the moment he declares, "If you can’t make money during a war, you just flat out cannot make money." Plus, we unpack Korra's emotional arc, her clash with President Raiko, and the explosive breakup with Mako in Book Two, episode 5 "Peacekeepers."

SHOWTIME Acquires Two ITV Studios Premium Thrillers: 'The Guest' and 'Coldwater'

SHOWTIME ACQUIRES TWO ITV STUDIOS PREMIUM THRILLERS: THE GUEST AND COLDWATER

THE GUEST Will Premiere October 17 on Paramount+ for Premium Subscribers in The U.S.

'The Guest' Key Art

October 2, 2025 – SHOWTIME today announces the acquisition of two premium thriller titles from multi award-winning producers, distributed by ITV Studios: THE GUEST from Quay St Productions (Fool Me Once, Nolly, The Stolen Girl), part of ITV Studios, and COLDWATER from SISTER (Black Doves, Eric, This Is Going to Hurt).

THE GUEST will debut on Friday, October 17 on streaming and on demand on Paramount+ for Premium plan subscribers before its on-air debut Sunday, October 19 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME in the US. Remaining episodes will premiere weekly. COLDWATER will premiere in early 2026. For a free trial, visit ParamountPlus.com.


Tom Clark, EVP Global Sales & Commercial Strategy at ITV Studios, said “I am so pleased that these gripping shows have found such a strong US partner in SHOWTIME. When it comes to premium British drama it really doesn’t get any better than Quay Street and SISTER, so I have no doubt the discerning SHOWTIME audience won’t be able to get enough of either one. Our buyers told us what they wanted: intense, attention-grabbing thrillers, so we set out to find the best and I’m excited for these two incredible titles to begin their global journeys.”

THE GUEST, which premiered on 1 September on BBC One, stars Eve Myles (The Crow Girl, Broadchurch) and Gabrielle Creevy (Black Doves, Three Women). The four-episode series combines action, intrigue and shocking twists with globally relevant themes of class and social mobility. The fast-paced thriller follows two unlikely friends as their lives begin to unravel.

THE GUEST follows Ria, who has never had the time or opportunity to think about what she might actually want from the world. But when she starts cleaning for charismatic businesswoman Fran, she’s intoxicated by this confident and self-assured woman who encourages her to take control of her life. Fran makes Ria believe she’s capable of anything – until they find themselves standing over a dead body and everything is thrown dramatically off course. This fast-paced thriller tells the story of these two unlikely friends as their lives begin to unravel. Packed with action, intrigue and shocking hooks, it will be a fun, wild ride. Ria and Fran’s intense relationship will quickly spiral into an increasingly dangerous game of cat and mouse. But who is playing who?

THE GUEST is written by Matthew Barry (Men Up, Industry) and directed by Ashley Way (Men Up, Who is Erin Carter?) who also serve as Executive Producers alongside Nicola Shindler (Happy Valley, It’s A Sin, Fool Me Once, Queer as Folk) and Davina Earl (Men Up, The Red King). THE GUEST also stars Sion Daniel Young (Lost Boys & Fairies, Slow Horses), Emun Elliott (Sexy Beast, The Gold, Guilt), Bethan Mary-James (Death Valley, Sisters, Friday Night Dinner), Julian Lewis Jones (Dope Girls, House of the Dragon and The Wheel Of Time), Joseph Ollman (Queenie, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Spent), Clive Russell (Game of Thrones, One Piece, The Witcher), Catherine Ayers (Missing You, The Way).

COLDWATER premiered on Sunday, 14 September on ITV. The six-episode series stars Andrew Lincoln (The Walking Dead, Love Actually) in his long-awaited return to British television and Ewen Bremner (Our Flag Means Death, Trainspotting). COLDWATER is a twisted thriller about a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation when he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous.

In COLDWATER, John (Lincoln) secretly rages at his life as a middle-aged, stay-at-home dad. When his failure to intervene in a violent confrontation in a city playground brings his identity crisis to a head, John moves his family to the rural idyll of Coldwater. On arrival, he is befriended by neighbour Tommy (Bremner), a charming, confident pillar of the community. John is impressed by Tommy. However, he is blissfully unaware that Tommy is harbouring horrifying secrets. When John’s long-repressed rage finally explodes with disastrous results, he finds himself unexpectedly indebted to his new friend. But how long will it take for him to figure out just how dangerous Tommy really is?

COLDWATER is created and written by David Ireland (The Lovers, Ulster American, Cyprus Avenue) and executive produced by Ireland, Chris Fry (Black Doves, Kaos, Landscapers), Alice Tyler (The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies), Lydia Hampson (The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies, Fleabag) and Jane Featherstone (Black Doves, Eric, Chernobyl). In addition to Lincoln and Bremner, it stars Indira Varma (Game of Thrones, Obsession, Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Eve Myles. It is directed by Lee Haven Jones (Passenger, A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story, Doctor Who) and Andrew Cumming (Out Of Darkness, Payback, Shetland).

ABOUT GABBY’S DOLLHOUSE: THE MOVIE
DreamWorks Animation elevates its global smash streaming series into its first ever cinematic
adventure with Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie.

Since the debut of the Gabby’s Dollhouse series in 2021, kids around the world have been having one big sprinkle party with Gabby and her friends. Created by celebrated storytellers Traci Paige Johnson and Jennifer Twomey and now the most watched kids series on Netflix, Gabby’s Dollhouse is a mixed media preschool series that unboxes a surprise before jumping into a fantastical animated world full of adorable cat characters that live inside Gabby’s dollhouse.

In the new film, Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner, reprising her role from the series) heads out on a
road trip with her Grandma Gigi (four-time Grammy Award winner Gloria Estefan) to the urban
wonderland of Cat Francisco. But when Gabby’s dollhouse, her most prized possession, ends up in the hands of an eccentric cat lady named Vera (Oscar® nominee Kristen Wiig), Gabby sets off on an adventure through the real world to get the Gabby Cats back together and save the dollhouse before it’s too late.

The all-star comedic voice cast includes Saturday Night Live powerhouses Ego Nwodim, Kyle Mooney and Melissa Villaseñor, as well as Emmy nominee Thomas Lennon (Reno 911!, American Dad!), Jason Mantzoukas (Invincible, Big Mouth), and Fortune Feimster (Fortune Feimster: Crushing It, Velma). The beloved series voice cast reprises their roles as Pandy Paws, CatRat, Cakey, DJ Catnip, Baby Box, MerCat and more.

Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie is directed by Ryan Crego (executive producer of Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh, I Heart Arlo), who earned a Children’s and Family Emmy nomination for his television feature Arlo the Alligator Boy. The film is produced by Steven Schweickart, who has served as a production supervisor or co-producer on some of DreamWorks Animation’s biggest blockbusters including How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods and most recently, Kung Fu Panda 4, which has earned almost $500 million worldwide. The film is executive produced by Jennifer Twomey and Traci Paige Johnson, based on the Gabby’s Dollhouse series created by them.

This year, according to Nielsen, the Gabby’s Dollhouse series has been the most-viewed streaming original series for kids. Netflix expanded the series to 100 total episodes, and the 11th season debuted on Netflix in February 2025.

Rooted in a growth mindset, Gabby’s activity-based episodes encourage flexible thinking and learning from your mistakes. The Gabby’s Dollhouse series has been in the Top 10 in TV in 63 countries on Netflix and has become a top preschool brand around the world, inspiring an award-winning toy line, publishing, home, apparel, and more, as well as original music, a top-rated app and a growing YouTube channel visited by millions of fans weekly.

Additionally, Gabby’s Dollhouse continues to expand through Universal Destinations & Experiences theme parks, global fan experiences, live events and more.
