The 78th edition of the Emmy Awards, presented by the United States Television Academy, has released its nominations today, and the medical drama The pitt(HBO Max) has once again proven to be the darling of the academics. The series starring Noah Wyle will fight to retain its title of best drama, an award it won last year. Furthermore, a good portion of the cast is nominated in the acting categories. The drama will compete, among others, against Pluribus (AppleTV), which debuts at the awards with its first season. Vince Gilligan's series is not the only notable newcomer to these Emmys: another AppleTV production, La maldición de Widow's Bay, one of the season's word-of-mouth phenomena, has managed to sneak into the comedy categories.

A few weeks ago, the filming of Life Barcelona, a series that, as its uninspired title suggests, is set in the Catalan capital. It is a production from the Netherlands that follows Julia (Holly Mae Brood), a Dutch designer who is sent to Barcelona by her mother to secretly weaken a rival agency. Once in Barcelona, the girl will fall head over heels for the city's charms and will also experience various love stories. The news of the filming has outraged some Barcelonians, who see the series as another vehicle for gentrification and mass tourism, and a boycott movement has begun on social media. One of the residents who has reacted with astonishment to the announcement is Tommy Blanco, who has launched an Instagram account –@lavidabarcelona– that calls for mobilization to stop a production that they consider contributes to "selling the city".

Few people set trends in Hollywood as much as Zendaya, who always makes daring and personal stylistic choices. The actress has once again proven she is unbeatable on the red carpet by appearing at the premiere of The Odyssey in a dress that left no one indifferent. In the film, she plays the goddess Athena, and Zendaya has decided to dress in keeping with her role: she chose a sculptural design from the firm Schiaparelli that surprises with a white breastplate-like upper body that accentuates her breasts and ribs. The corset, in fact, can be reminiscent of an ancient Greek sculpture, undoubtedly a nod to the film in which she participates, an adaptation of Homer's epic poem.

For decades we have seen women's breasts in series and movies alike. Almost every time there was a sex scene, it was the female performer who had to go all out and show her body. A good example of this trend is Game of Thrones, often accused of extreme sexualization of both the main protagonists and the supporting actresses, and even extras. In recent times the trend has reversed and we can say that we have entered the era of naked male torsos. Many of the recent great series hits do not need many excuses to show their protagonists shirtless and with well-defined pecs.

It is one of the weddings of the year and some have even called it "the royal wedding of America". Singer Taylor Swift and American football player Travis Kelce are getting married this weekend at Madison Square Garden in New York and the ceremony has already altered life in the city center: the streets adjacent to the venue are closed and will remain so all weekend. On Thursday, the couple organized a pre-wedding dinner which was already attended by a small group of 100 guests. The big party, however, will take place this Friday, with the city in the midst of a heatwave. An event that will have a thousand guests, including celebrities such as Bradley Cooper and his partner, Gigi Hadid, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Antonoff (Swift's producer), Ed Sheeran, Sabrina Carpenter, and Lena Dunham, among others.

Past the halfway point of 2026 and when it's still too early to make lists of the best series of the year, we review some of the titles that have premiered during the first semester and are worthwhile. It's a selection that represents a mix of genres and various degrees of intensity: some aspire to be among the most outstanding fictions of 2026, while others seek to fill the space of light entertainment.

Hannah Murray began her acting career as a teenager, but for the past eight years she has been living completely retired from the world of acting. Between the beginning and the end of her career there are two defining moments: her time on Game of Thrones, which made her known worldwide, and her entry into a cult that led to a mental health crisis. Now the actress, who for many will always be remembered as the wild Gilly, reviews her traumatic experiences in the autobiography The Make-Believe: A memoir of magic and madness. Although Game of Thrones is the most popular title in his filmography, Murray has also participated in other productions such as the risky teen series Skins(2007-2013), she played a young woman with anorexia nervosa, or the musical film "God help the girl (2014), the directorial debut of Stuart Murdoch, leader of the band Belle & Sebastian. In the book, Murray explains how his entry into a cult, which he calls "the organization", coincided with one of the most important projects of his career, the film Detroit (2017), by Kathryn Bigelow, had scenes of great emotional wear. To prepare for them, the actress contacted a coach of interpretation that introduced her to the idea of "opening yourself as much as possible to let something pass through you." The actress describes the process as "almost shamanic."

In a month when many people already have holidays on their minds, platforms are opting for light entertainment, with series that have few pretensions beyond entertaining the viewer. We review the most outstanding titles of July.

Since September 2017, Alicia González Laá is Eva, the most innocent and love-struck member of the cast of Com si fos ahir, TV3's daily soap opera.

In this chapter we talk about Alexis from Gran Cita working as a gigolo and Paul Mescal in Barcelona. "And is this news?" is the question we often see in comments on news about gossip magazines and pop culture. And, evidently, they are not news that occupy newspaper front pages, but they are indeed topics that we often discuss with friends or family around a table or at the bar counter. And this is what we do in this podcast: we go to a place to review some social chronicle news that serve not only to keep up with the most notable gossip, but also to talk about love, friendship or breakups.

When The bear premiered on Disney+ in June 2022, it quickly won over most critics and viewers alike. It was the series of the moment: everyone was talking about this drama set in a restaurant and its lead actor, Jeremy Allen White, who played a fine-dining chef taking over the family sandwich shop. Although he had already participated in long-running shows like Shameless, The bear propelled Allen White into the big leagues and made him one of the most talked-about actors. After the experts' praise came the awards: at the 2023 Emmy Awards, it swept the most important categories. Of course, curiously, despite being clearly a drama or, at best, a dramedy, the platform submitted it in the comedy category, and all the awards it has accumulated so far are for this genre.

Usual presence at Catalan music festivals, Rufus Wainwright (Rhinebeck, New York, 1972) will perform on Sunday, June 28 at Blaumarí Music, the concert series born this year and taking place on a stage over the water at Port Vell in Barcelona. With a musical career ranging from pop to folk, through classical music and opera, the American musician will offer a concert with some of his best-known songs.

For a few weeks now, Barcelona, Salou, and other Catalan towns have traveled to the past to commemorate the youth of the Beatles. They have become the settings for the filming of the four biographical films that Sam Mendes is directing about the history of the Liverpool quartet. The provisional release date for the tetralogy is April 2028, although Sam Mendes has not clarified if the four films will be released in cinemas at the same time.

Turning point on Pasapalabra. The Antena 3 contest will experience a historic and not particularly happy night this Thursday: it will definitively say goodbye to the rosco, the popular final test that allows contestants to access the large cash prize. The elimination is due to the ruling from late May by the Supreme Court which confirmed that the test is part of a work protected by intellectual property and that its ownership belongs to the Dutch company MC&F and not ITV, the production company that licenses the broadcast rights of the contest to Antena 3. The judicial decision implies that the channel cannot broadcast the rosco. Furthermore, to comply with the ruling, Antena 3 has also had to remove from its online platform, Atresplayer, the episodes of the contest in which the test appears, a total of 1,540 episodes.

The Lux Tour is arguably Rosalía's most ambitious tour to date. Everything is meticulously planned, including the wardrobe. Now that the singer has begun the North American leg of the tour, she has decided to make changes to some of the outfits she wears, and the novelties have come from Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior, who has designed four exclusive looks for her, which were already seen at the concert she gave in Boston. The French house has shared several videos on Instagram showing the creative process and allowing us to see Rosalía trying on the outfits she will wear in the concerts she still has to perform. It should be remembered that since 2024 Rosalía has been a global ambassador for Dior.

In Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen, Mary Bennet is the overlooked and often ridiculed sister of the main protagonist, Elizabeth. In fact, Mary is a minor character who, in the book, does not have a plot of her own with substance, beyond being the butt of jokes when she decides to sing at social gatherings. But in The Other Bennet Sister, the miniseries that Movistar Plus + premieres this Tuesday, the introverted girl becomes the protagonist of the story: tired of being her mother's whipping boy, who always finds an excuse to belittle her, she decides to forge her own path and make decisions for herself. When all her sisters get married, she leaves the family home and moves to London to live with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner.

Hacks, one of the most critically acclaimed comedies of recent years, recently aired its finale. In principle, from now on anyone who wants to rewatch the series will be able to do so through the HBO Max platform, which has broadcast it since its beginnings. A few weeks ago, however, the creators of the comedy, Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky, expressed their distrust regarding storage on streaming services and advocated for a return to physical media, specifically DVDs. They argue that in a time of high volatility in the audiovisual sector – with mergers like that of Warner Bros. and Paramount – it is more reliable to have a physical copy than one in the cloud, which is why they would like to bring out a complete edition of the series on DVD. The project of releasing a box set with the DVDs of all seasons, as was done years ago, is for now just an illusion in the hearts of the three creators.

Following a personal experience – the arduous task of getting rid of some of your belongings when you move house – Maria Andrés, 27, and her family launched Pompina Home Reborn, a company with which they aim to redefine what it means to empty a home. After carrying out an extensive inventory, for three days, they organize markets open to the public within the property itself and offer the opportunity to buy furniture or objects that the owner of the flat does not want or cannot take with them. Andrés explains that in the process of emptying flats, they have found items they didn't even know what they were, such as an antique stereoscope, an optical instrument that became very popular in the late 19th century and allows you to view flat photographs in three dimensions.

The realization of the event was handled by Paulí Subirà, who has a very long professional career in this field.
