One unusual thing I love about My Brilliant Friend is my complete inability to figure out how old anyone is. The passionate and brutal adaptation of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan quartet stars teenagers as teenagers, but the characters grow up fast in 1960s Naples. Season 2, which starts Monday on HBO, is designated The Story of a New Name after the second book in the series. Lila (Gaia Girace) starts off as a newly married child-bride, and it's not long before she's a cynical store manager desperately housewifing against her abusive husband, Stefano (Giovanni Amura).

Valentine’s Day is just two weeks away and Dan Auerbach would like to help you get ready. Today, EW is thrilled to premiere the Black Keys’ frontman’s sweet new ditty, “Up On a Mountain of Love,” and its trippy music video. “This song was inspired by new love,” the rocker tells EW via email of the cut that will release via Amazon Music’s Love Me, Love Me Not playlist on Feb.

Singer, songwriter, and (as of Friday morning) three-time Grammy nominee Sia has two primary musical modes she tends to stick to: cathartic dance pop like her breakout single “Chandelier” and brooding power ballads like “Pretty Hurts” (which she wrote with Beyoncé). The album version of “Big Girls Cry,” from her 1000 Forms of Fear, is firmly of the second sort, but for a new official remix the rising EDM production duo ODESZA strips away the song’s angst and replaces it with the low-key but rave-able energy that they’ve made their trademark.

The first single from the Chi-Raq soundtrack is here: Spike Lee posted a link to the song’s music video on his Instagram Tuesday along with a message urging listeners to “listen carefully to the lyrics.” Kevon Carter performs the track, titled “WGDB,” in the video, which features the musician sitting at a piano in a church full of those who have lost loved ones to gang violence. “Let’s not become desensitized,” he sings.

After Starz announced on Monday that it was pulling the plug on Heels — the wrestling-and-family drama starring Stephen Amell — angry fans made "#CancelStarz" trend on social media. The news was particularly painful for Heels' small but devoted following of viewers, coming as it did just 10 days after the intense season 2 finale.

Helen Hoang had been mulling over an idea for a romance novel that would be a reverse Pretty Woman for some time when she first encountered high-functioning autism, also known as Asperger’s syndrome.

Fire up the bong, it's time to hole up in the basement. Netflix has just dropped the full trailer for their reboot of That '70s Show, appropriately titled That '90s Show, and Point Place is buzzing and buzzed with faces fresh and familiar. According to a synopsis from Netflix, the story goes: It's 1995 and Leia Forman (Callie Haverda) is desperate for some adventure in her life or at least a best friend who isn't her dad.

As you may have heard, the Academy Awards will be held this Sunday evening in Hollywood. Who’s gonna win an Oscar? We’ll see. Pundits like EW’s crack panel say there’s a good chance that Helen Mirren will walk away with a statuette for her work in The Queen, while Forest Whitaker is a favorite to take home a little gold guy for playing Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland.

Henry Cavill not only flexed his impeccable physique as Superman in Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam, he also showed off his strong-willed secrecy skills in keeping the whole thing under wraps.
