At one point in his career, Michael Cera preferred to keep his mischief closely managed. The Phoenician Scheme star recently revealed that he once had the opportunity to join the Harry Potter franchise with a role in the prequel spinoff Fantastic Beasts, though he turned it down out of a desire to keep things like they were. “I don’t even know if I was offered, I think I just declined to engage with it because I think it would be like probably six years commitment or something,” he said during an appearance on the June 26 episode of the Louis Theroux…

Paramount Global is removing the Showtime name from the top tier of its streaming service, Paramount+. The ad-free tier of the platform has gone by the somewhat clunky title of Paramount+ With Showtime since 2023, when Paramount decided to merge its SVOD platform and premium cable outlet (and, in turn, shut down the standalone Showtime streaming service). Now, though, the ad-free tier will go by the name Paramount+ Premium — though it will still include Showtime programming, including the Dexter franchise and Yellowjackets.
