It’s been four years since Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides hit theaters, but that film’s impressive performance at the box office (despite underwhelming reviews) ensured a fifth installment of the hit franchise was on the way. Now Disney has offered up the official synopsis of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, along with news that production on the film has officially begun in Australia.

The official synopsis for the film reads as follows:

Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea…including him. Captain Jack’s only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas

It should probably come as no surprise that the film will feature the return of franchise star Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, with Geoffrey Rush (as Barbossa), Kevin R. McNally (Joshamee Gibbs), and Stephen Graham (Scrum) also reprising their roles. Newcomers to the franchise this time around will be Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men), Kaya Scodelario (The Maze Runner), Brenton Thwaites (Maleficent), and Golshifteh Farahani (Exodus: Gods and Kings).

Set to be directed by Kon-Tiki filmmakers Espen Sandberg and Joachim Rønning, the upcoming film should provide an interesting gauge on Depp’s ability to draw an audience after a series of underperforming films — most recently, the crime caper Mortdecai.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is expected to arrive in theaters July 7, 2017.

The best rom-coms on Amazon Prime Video right now

A young man in a tank top and a woman walking opposite directions stop to look at one another in a scene from The Idea of You.

When it comes to a good rom-com, it needs to have a few elements. It has to make you both laugh and cry. It has to be aspirational or touching in some way, whisking you off into a magical place in your mind as you watch. But it also needs to be predictable, because a rom-com with an unexpected twist ending might not leave you feeling satisfied.

Looking for something that fits the bill? We have curated this list of the best rom-coms on Amazon Prime Video right now. There are classics as well as new movies, and a fabulous selection of Amazon Originals like the new movie starring Anne Hathaway, The Idea of You.

If you have to watch one Netflix show this May, stream this one

if you have to watch one netflix show this may 2024 stream archer featured

Fans of romance movies and shows on Netflix are probably locked into watching the first part of Bridgerton season 3, while drama lovers may gravitate toward A Man in Full, which is currently one of the most popular shows on Netflix. Animation is also well-represented this month with a new season of Blood of Zeus and the premiere of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. But our choice for the one Netflix show this May that you have to stream is the animated spy comedy Archer.

Adam Reed created Archer for FX in 2009, and the series has had remarkable staying power. Through 14 seasons, Archer has amassed 145 episodes. This series has been streaming on Hulu for years, but now it has a chance to attract an even wider audience on Netflix, which is no stranger to adult-oriented animated shows like Big Mouth and BoJack Horseman.

Everything you need to know about Severance season 2

Mark, Dylan, Irving, and Helly in the Lumon office on Apple TV+ series Severance.

In February 2022, audiences discovered the mysterious world at Lumon Industries with the premiere of the Apple TV+ sci-fi drama Severance. At Lumon, several employees undergo "severance," a medical procedure that separates your work memories from your life on the outside ("outies"). Severed employees ("innies") cannot remember anything about themselves once they enter work. The severed employees essentially live two different lives.

Season 1 follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott) and his co-workers, who all underwent severance. When a new employee named Helly (Britt Lower) joins the company, Mark begins to question Lumon's motives, which may or may not be sinister. Severance season 1 premiered to universal acclaim from critics, resulting in 14 Emmy nominations. Season 2 is on the way. Here's everything we know so far.
Is there a release date for Severance season 2?
