In the late-2000s and early-2010s, it was looking like miniseries were going away. Then came *American Horror Story* in 2011, which helped resurrect the genre and led to a boom of limited and anthology series that hasn't slowed down 15 years later.

Netflix has been at the forefront of this resurrection, housing numerous buzzworthy miniseries that went on to win the genre's top prize at the Emmys, such as *Adolescence*, *Baby Reindeer*, and *The Queen's Gambit*. The streamer also has riveting docuseries like *The Andy Warhol Diaries* and *Wild, Wild Country* that explore their subjects further than a traditional documentary could.

Ahead, find our recommendations for the 22 best miniseries on Netflix worth binging in their entirety over the weekend.

James Franco as Jake Epping in '11.22.63'.

Russ Martin/Hulu

Based on the alternative history novel by Stephen King, this Hulu-produced miniseries is even more thoughtful and engrossing than its premise suggests. James Franco stars as Jake Epping, an English teacher who gains access to a portal that allows him to travel back in time to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But Jake's mission becomes complicated when he finds himself adjusting nicely to his new life in the '60s, while every choice he makes threatens to change the course of human history. It's a powerful character study in the body of a propulsive sci-fi thriller. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

Where to watch *11.22.63*: Netflix

**Cast:** James Franco, Chris Cooper, Sarah Gadon, Lucy Fry, George MacKay

Adolescence (2025)

This four-part miniseries has become a TV unicorn since its March 2025 release, becoming a massive hit with viewers, achieving universal acclaim from critics, and earning eight Emmys (including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series). *Adolescence* centers on a 13-year-old boy (Owen Cooper) accused of murdering a female classmate, deftly exploring the motive that led to the crime as well as the devastating impact it has on his family. Each episode takes place over the course of an hour and is filmed in one continuous take, from immersing us in the unnerving dread of the initial police interrogations to the sobering reality of his family left to ponder where they went wrong. It's gripping television, powered by masterful performances and urgent, economical storytelling. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Adolescence*: Netflix

**Cast:** Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, Christine Tremarco

Alias Grace (2017)

Sarah Gadon as Grace Marks in 'Alias Grace'. Jan Thijs/Netflix

If you're excited that female antiheroes are having a moment, then *Alias Grace* should be next on your watchlist. Created by *Women Talking *director Sarah Polley and directed by *American Psycho* helmer Mary Harron, *Alias Grace *follows Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon), a 19th-century maid who is in jail for allegedly murdering her employers. Like fellow Margaret Atwood adaptation *The Handmaid's Tale*, *Alias Grace* is a powerful critique of the plight of women in a patriarchal society, but it's also a miniseries that will keep you constantly guessing about the protagonist’s guilt or innocence. —*Janey Tracey*

Where to watch *Alias Grace*: Netflix

**EW grade:** A–

**Cast:** Sarah Gadon, Edward Holcroft, Rebecca Liddiard, Anna Paquin, Zachary Levi

The Andy Warhol Diaries (2022)

Andy Warhol in 'The Andy Warhol Diaries'.

This absorbing Emmy-nominated documentary series follows the rise of the influential pop artist Andy Warhol. Utilizing innovative technology to simulate Warhol's voice, the series brings the artist's meticulously written diaries to life, guiding us through his career as a painter, the various loves of his life, and his emergence as a pop culture icon in the '60s. Aided by revealing interviews from various public figures whose lives were touched by Warhol, *The Andy Warhol Diaries* is a fittingly stylish tribute to a legend. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *The Andy Warhol Diaries*: Netflix

Baby Reindeer (2024)

Richard Gadd as Donny Dunn in 'Baby Reindeer'.

Based on Richard Gadd's one-man show about his experience with stalking, *Baby Reindeer* starts with humor, then takes a sharp turn that makes you reevaluate everything that came before. The Emmy-winning miniseries has been controversial, especially after a lawsuit was filed by the woman who claims to be the inspiration for the series. But, wherever you stand on the ethics of fictionalizing real people, *Baby Reindeer* still stands on its own as intimate, gut-wrenching television that's deeply personal. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Baby Reindeer*: Netflix

**Cast:** Richard Gadd, Jessica Gunning, Nava Mau, Tom Goodman-Hill

Bodyguard (2018)

Richard Madden as David Budd and Keeley Hawes as Julia Montague in 'Bodyguard'. World Productions/Netflix

Many shows might build to their first nail-biting sequence, but not *Bodyguard*. The first episode starts with a 20-minute scene in which David Budd (Richard Madden), a British Army war veteran suffering from PTSD, tries to talk down a suicide bomber while on a train with his two children. EW staffers praised Madden's Golden Globe-winning performance, the portrayal of women in positions of power, and the "what-the-heck-is-even-happening moments" that make the miniseries impossible not to binge. And the viewers seemed to agree: When it aired in the U.K., *Bodyguard* became the country's most successful launch of a drama series in the 2010s. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Bodyguard*: Netflix

**Cast:** Richard Madden, Keeley Hawes, Gina McKee, Sophie Rundle, Vincent Franklin

Death by Lightning (2025)

James A. Garfield may not have the name recognition of other centuries-old presidents like George Washington, John Adams, or Abraham Lincoln, but this four-part miniseries has certainly elevated his profile. Michael Shannon stars as Garfield as he becomes the 20th President of the United States and advocates for civil rights. Meanwhile, troubled devotee Charles J. Guiteau (Matthew Macfadyen) turns increasingly disgruntled, leading to him shooting the president. It's a compelling two-hander that explores both the potential and dangers of humanity. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Death by Lightning*: Netflix

**Cast:** Michael Shannon, Matthew Macfadyen, Betty Gilpin, Bradley Whitford, Nick Offerman

Godless (2017)

Michelle Dockery as Alice Fletcher in 'Godless'. Ursula Coyote/Netflix

*Godless* takes the Western genre and turns it on its head, focusing on a town almost entirely run by women after a mining accident kills most of the men. Jeff Daniels chews the scenery as murderous robber Frank Griffin, giving a villainous performance for the ages (even if some of his monologues run a little long). But the women are the standouts, especially *Downton Abbey*'s Michelle Dockery and Merritt Wever as the men's clothes-wearing, overtly feminist Mary Agnes. "I'm done with the notion that the bliss of me and my sisters is to be found in childbearing and caregiving," she declares. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Godless*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B

**Cast:** Michelle Dockery, Jack O'Connell, Merritt Wever, Sam Waterston, Jeff Daniels

Griselda (2024)

Sofía Vergara as Griselda Blanco in 'Griselda'.

You've never seen Sofía Vergara quite like this. The *Modern Family* alum sheds her comedic persona — and puts on some prosthetics — to deliver a chilling, Emmy-nominated performance as Griselda Blanco, the infamous Colombian drug lord. According to director Andrés Baiz, who also worked on *Narcos*, Vergara was drawn to the role of a woman in a man's world and the opportunity to show her range. "This was a chance to reinvent herself and step out of her comfort zone," Baiz told EW. "She knew she had to dive in completely into this role and...push herself to the limit." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Griselda*: Netflix

**Cast:** Sofía Vergara, Alberto Guerra, Martin Rodriguez, Juliana Aidén Martinez, Vanessa Ferlito

The Haunting of Hill House (2018)

(From left to right): Mckenna Grace as Theo, Lulu Wilson as Shirley, Paxton Singleton as Steven, Violet McGraw as Nell, Julian Hilliard as Luke, and Henry Thomas as Hugh — the Crains — in 'The Haunting of Hill House'. Steve Dietl/Netflix

Less of an adaptation than a reimagining, *The Haunting of Hill House* has almost nothing in common with the original Shirley Jackson novel except the characters' names. But director Mike Flanagan captures the spirit of the work; in true elevated horror fashion, the miniseries uses ghosts as metaphors for trauma and unresolved grief, reaching a terrible and beautiful climax with the now-classic episode "The Bent-Neck Lady."

"A ghost can be a lot of things: memories, guilt, regrets, trauma, loss," Flanagan told EW. "We all have our ghosts to contend with, and that contention is where we learn the most about ourselves, as individuals and as a society." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *The Haunting of Hill House*: Netflix

**Cast:** Victoria Pedretti, Carla Gugino, Michiel Huisma, Kate Siegel, Timothy Hutton

The Last Dance (2020)

You don't need to follow basketball to appreciate *The Last Dance*. Chronicling Michael Jordan's final season with the Chicago Bulls, this 10-part docuseries became a quarantine favorite at a time when no one could watch live sports, painting a compelling portrait of ambition, leadership, and the price of success. "Sports fans or non-sports fans, the Chicago Bulls were a global phenomenon," director Jason Hehir told EW. "This was a cast of characters that Hollywood couldn't come up with, and Michael Jordan was the star of all stars." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *The Last Dance*: Netflix

**Cast:** Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman

The 25 best miniseries ready to binge-watch this weekend

The 28 best drama series on Netflix to get hooked on

Maid (2021)

Margaret Qualley as Alex Russell in 'Maid'.

Ricardo Hubbs/Netflix

Based on Stephanie Land's memoir, *Maid* follows Alex (Margaret Qualley), a young mother who escapes an abusive relationship and struggles to support herself and her daughter. The miniseries is a raw and empathetic portrayal of the challenges faced by those living on the margins of society and a scathing indictment of the institutions that make it nearly impossible to escape abuse and poverty. Qualley's real-life mother Andie MacDowell has an unsettling supporting role as Alex's mentally ill mother, but Qualley is the star, and her nuanced, Emmy-nominated performance makes *Maid *both heartbreaking and inspiring. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Maid*: Netflix

**Cast:** Margaret Qualley, Nick Robinson, Anika Noni Rose, Andie MacDowell

Midnight Mass (2021)

Hamish Linklater as Father Paul Hill in 'Midnight Mass'.

*The Haunting of Hill House* is Mike Flanagan's claim to fame, but some might call *Midnight Mass* his magnum opus. The miniseries follows Riley Flynn (Zach Gilford), a man who returns to his religious hometown after serving prison time for manslaughter. When a mysterious priest (Hamish Linklater) arrives, strange and unexplainable events begin to occur. Full of slow-burn horror, it's Flanagan's most personal work, based on his experiences with recovery and his upbringing in a Catholic community. "I don't know how long I could have gone without writing it," he wrote in a letter to critics. “This...was the story I always wanted to tell." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Midnight Mass*: Netflix

**EW grade:** A–

**Cast**: Zach Gilford, Kate Siegel, Hamish Linklater, Kristin Lehman, Samantha Sloyan

One Day (2024)

Ambika Mod as Emma Morley and Leo Woodall as Dexter Mayhew in 'One Day'.

Forget the 2011 film version starring Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway — *One Day* on Netflix is now the definitive adaptation of the beloved novel by David Nicholls. The series follows college classmates Emma (Ambika Mod) and Dexter (Leo Woodall), whose relationship unfolds on the same day over the course of 20 years. A lovely rom-com elevated by Mod and Woodall's chemistry and nuanced, charming performances, *One Day* will have you in tears by the end of your binge. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *One Day*: Netflix

**Cast:** Ambika Mod, Leo Woodall

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023)

A prequel series to ratings juggernaut *Bridgerton*, *Queen Charlotte* offers a lush, romantic look at the origins of one of the most beloved characters. The miniseries, by super creator Shonda Rhimes, delves into the young Queen Charlotte's (India Amarteifio) rise to power and her relationship with King George III (Corey Mylchreest). The story has a modern resonance as Queen Charlotte is written as a woman of color, which is the belief of many historians. "I wanted to tell the story of this young woman of color arriving in this world where she never imagined she'd be," Rhimes told EW. —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B+

**Cast:** India Amarteifio, Adjoa Andoh, Michelle Fairley, Corey Mylchreest, Golda Rosheuvel

The Queen's Gambit (2020)

Anya Taylor-Joy as Beth Harmon in 'The Queen's Gambit'.

Phil Bray/Netflix

The miniseries that made everyone learn chess during quarantine, *The Queen's Gambit* was the surprise hit of 2020, captivating audiences with its riveting tale of chess prodigy Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy). Set during the Cold War, the Emmy-winning series traces Beth's journey from a Kentucky orphanage to the international chess scene, all while dealing with addiction and inner demons. The quick pacing and inventive visuals make chess matches as thrilling as a sports movie climax, but Taylor-Joy's mesmerizing performance is the real draw. As EW's critic writes, "*Queen's Gambit* will be remembered as the final star-making moment for Taylor-Joy, before her movie career rockets fast and Furiosa-ly." —*J.T.*

Where to watch* The Queen's Gambit*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B

**Cast: **Anya Taylor-Joy, Bill Camp, Moses Ingram, Marielle Heller, Thomas Brodie-Sangster

Ripley (2024)

Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley in 'Ripley'.

*Ripley* brings Patricia Highsmith's infamous con artist to the small screen in a stylish retelling that goes full noir, filmed entirely in black and white. These changes allow for a darker, lonelier version of Tom Ripley (played by a career-best Andrew Scott), whose complex psychology and lack of glamour is for a modern audience. "I didn't purposely try to get sympathy or empathy for him," creator Steven Zaillian told EW. "I trusted that, just by telling the story, that same thing would happen as it did in the book." —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Ripley*: Netflix

**Cast: **Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning, Johnny Flynn, Eliot Sumner, Margherita Buy

Toxic Town (2025)

Aimee Lou Wood as Tracy, Jodie Whittaker as Susan, and Karla Crome as Pattie in 'Toxic Town'.

Ben Blackall/Netflix

This four-part British series is based on the real-life story of mothers who fought their town's council on behalf of their children. At the center is the toxic waste scandal in Corby, Northamptonshire, England, where the mishandling of industrial waste led to birth defects for several of the town's newborns. Jodie Whittaker and *White Lotus* alum Aimee Lou Wood are superb as two of the mothers whose babies were affected, and the series is at once infuriating and inspiring as it portrays the long and winding road of seeking justice. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Toxic Town*: Netflix

**Cast:** Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood, Rory Kinnear, Brendan Coyle, Robert Carlyle

Unbelievable (2019)

Kaitlyn Dever as Marie Adler in 'Unbelievable'. Beth Dubber/Netflix

Based on the devastating, Pulitzer Prize-winning article "An Unbelievable Story of Rape" from ProPublica and the Marshall Project, *Unbelievable* is a hard-hitting, unusually compassionate police procedural about two detectives (Toni Collette and Merritt Wever) as they investigate a series of sexual assaults. Kaitlyn Dever gives a heartbreaking performance as Marie, a rape survivor dismissed by authorities, which the actress called "the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my career." But instead of dwelling on the gendered injustices, the miniseries highlights the importance of having women in positions of power, as the empathetic approach taken by the female investigators is key to righting the wrongs of the case. —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Unbelievable*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B+

**Cast: **Toni Collette, Merritt Wever, Kaitlyn Dever

Unorthodox (2020)

Amit Rahav as Yanky Shapiro and Shira Haas as Esty Shapiro in 'Unorthodox'. Anika Molnar/Netflix

Based on Deborah Feldman's memoir, *Unorthodox* tells the story of Esther "Esty" Shapiro, a young woman who flees her ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn for a new life in Berlin. The miniseries is a gripping tale of self-discovery and rebellion, with Shira Haas delivering an extraordinary turn as Esty. She earned an Emmy nomination for her performance, not least because of that powerful singing scene. "The show is about a woman finding her voice, and in that scene, she's literally finding it," Haas told EW. "She's even surprising herself of what's coming out of her." —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Unorthodox*: Netflix

**Cast:** Shira Haas, Amit Rahav, Jeff Wilbusch

When They See Us (2019)

Niecy Nash-Betts as Delores Wise in 'When They See Us'. Atsushi Nishijima/Netflix

Ava DuVernay's *When They See Us* is a searing, unflinching account of the wrongful convictions of the Central Park Five, five Black and Latino teenagers who were falsely accused of a brutal assault in 1989. The miniseries powerfully depicts the systemic racism and injustice faced by these young men, following their harrowing journey from arrest to exoneration. With DuVernay's auteur touch and stellar performances from an ensemble cast, especially Jharrel Jerome, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of Korey Wise, *When They See Us* is as emotionally devastating as it is necessary viewing. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *When They See Us*: Netflix

**Cast:** Asante Blackk, Jharrel Jerome, Niecy Nash-Betts, Felicity Huffman

Wild Wild Country (2018)

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh in 'Wild Wild Country'. Netflix

Cult documentaries have been a part of our media diet, but *Wild Wild Country* is one you have to see to believe. Chronicling the rise and fall of the Rajneeshpuram commune in Oregon during the 1980s, the docuseries delves into the controversial practices of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers, leading to one of the most bizarre, shocking, and underreported events in American history. It's a wild ride filled with twists, legal battles, and a fascinating cast of real-life characters. —*J.T.*

Vampire Diaries bosses on casting Enzo as a Salvatore brother and Damon's fate in the finale

EW's editorial guidelines

August 27, 2021 9:00 a.m. ET

For *The Vampire Diaries* creatives, casting Enzo was a particularly difficult task. Because originally, the role was going to be very different.

"You were supposed to be the third Salvatore brother," executive producer Julie Plec tells star Michael Malarkey in episode 8 of *EW's Binge: The Vampire Diaries*. Writer Brett Matthews adds, "That was always the plan, and then it went a different direction, but that's why it was so hard to find the person. We thought it was going to be a Salvatore brother, so we cast a very wide net [and] looked very hard." Ultimately, they scrapped that plan and made it so Enzo didn't share Salvatore blood, but he was a brother figure for Damon (Ian Somerhalder) for many years (and he was sired by Lily Salvatore).

But that wasn't the only plan that changed in the writers' room over the years. In discussing the *Vampire Diaries*' final season, Plec and Matthews recall the final major debate: Which Salvatore were they going to kill in the series finale? "We went back and forth in the writers' room all season long," Plec says. "We finally landed on: We're killing Damon. That's the right thing to do. He is the one with the consequence to pay. Stefan was morally a bit stronger of a character."

Matthews adds, "Damon's a fairly obvious choice," noting that the writers really fell in love with the idea of Damon compelling Stefan (Paul Wesley) to let him die. But when executive producer Kevin Williamson proposed that it should be Stefan that dies, they started to rethink their plan. "It felt like dying for Stefan freed him from a lot of weight, whereas it felt like living for Damon freed him to go and be the man that he was always supposed to be," Plec says.

Of course, both Salvatores were meant to die in the original ending Plec and Williamson came up with during the show's second season. In that ending, "The boys would sacrifice themselves to save Elena so that Elena could go and have a life and be human and live," Plec recalls during the podcast. "To save her, they would die together, and that was always the pitch. And then when Nina [Dobrev] left, it felt like the show can't be as much about protecting Elena's happiness, although that's important to us, but we want to protect the bothers' happiness, we want them to get something out of this. Then it shifted to: We can't kill both of them for her because that feels somehow like nobody got what they wanted. Let's find a different way to give one of these brothers the happiness that they need and the other brother the closure that they need."

(One other way Dobrev leaving changed the plan? Plec says, "I thought that by the time we came back to the end of the series, whenever it was, that Elena would've found her way back to Stefan and Damon would've found a different path.")

Paige Lorenze is opening up about her decision to start taking anxiety medication

In her most recent YouTube vlog, the content creator spoke to followers about her experience managing anxiety over the last few years, and how she ultimately decided that taking medication was right for her

"I feel like kind of invincible," Lorenze said in her latest video

Paige Lorenze is opening up about her experience managing anxiety.In her most recent YouTube vlog, posted on Sunday, April 26, the content creator shared that she had recently started taking an anxiety medication, and broke down some of her initial reluctancies in her decision to do so."For me, my anxiety — and I'm very lucky for this — it's not like I wake up and my chest is tight and I'm really anxious," the Dairy Boy founder began, explaining how she had experienced anxious feelings in the past.

However, despite her unique experience with anxious feelings, Lorenze admitted that she did understand where much of her anxiety was stemming from, saying: "I was sort of like, 'Yeah, well, no s--- I have anxiety. I've been living my life in the public eye since I was 20. I've grown up on the internet. I have so many responsibilities. I have people picking apart my life. I have people making up s--- about me, but I also have people so many more people who love and support me, but are also holding me to like a very high standard."As a result, the content creator said that she often found that she had "undermined my own anxiety because of the circumstance that I'm in" and that she hadn't "taken it as seriously."She even opened up about experiencing social anxiety recently, something she said she hadn't experienced before in her life, as one of the factors that contributed to her decision to begin taking medication.

"With that being said, I am actually really glad that I decided to go on medication now," she added."I feel like I really had to like work through those things and I really had to work through my own triggers," she said. "I feel like for that, I'm a better person. I can really do a pretty good job at self-regulating my emotions."Of her anxiety medication, the lifestyle brand founder said that she has been "really, really, really loving it.""I feel like it's actually made a huge change," she said, before going on to say that she felt "invincible."Lorenze also said that taking the medication in conjunction with getting off of her birth control, prioritizing getting good sleep and working out had been the combination that worked for her.

Lorenze has been open in the past about the toll that her highly public life as a content creator and lifestyle brand founder with two million followers across her Instagram and TikTok pages has taken on her. Speaking with PEOPLE in November 2024, Lorenze reflected on her content, which she called a "highlight reel," and how she felt it didn't necessarily depict her "actual life.""The world is not just aesthetics. We're complicated people with real lives and real problems — and I think the hyper aesthetics on Instagram due to influencers can be harmful," Lorenze said at the time. "I just want people to view it as a source of inspiration, but not a Bible."

"I think there is something non-human about just... constantly talking about yourself, constantly you, you, you all the time," Lorenze said.

Writer-director and alum of the original animated series Dean DeBlois spoke with ** last year about the dragon-filled fantasy nabbing a sequel before the live-action remake was released in theaters. The news was shared last April at CinemaCon 2025.

"I think once [Universal Pictures] saw a pretty finished version of the movie that we tested with an audience, they felt really confident. And so they wanted to let it be known especially at CinemaCon, because there's so many factors that go into planning for a movie, even two years out, getting screens and premium large format screens, and just getting movie theater exhibitors excited," he shared, adding he was "a little reluctant" to announce the news of the sequel at CinemaCon last April.

He continued, "I'm like, 'Maybe we should just release the movie first and see if people like it before you go and announce another one?' But I understood that that was the audience where you want to get them excited about what's coming."

Based on the 2010 animated film of the same name, which itself was the first of a trilogy, the live-action remake is also set on the fictional Isle of Berk. It follows Viking teen Hiccup (Mason Thames), whose inability to kill dragons makes him an outcast among his Viking community, frustrating father and chieftain Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler). Hiccup eventually does the unthinkable, befriending a fearsome Night Fury dragon named Toothless — and soon teaching his fellow Vikings the two can live in harmony.

*How to Train Your Dragon 2 *is slated for a June 11, 2027 release.**

The man accused of killing two University of South Florida doctoral students asked ChatGPT about putting a person in a trash bag and throwing them in a dumpster, according to a court filing.

Hisham Abugharbieh, 26, is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, both 27. Limon, whose body was found Friday, was roommates with Abugharbieh, a former USF student.

In the court document — a motion filed Saturday seeking to keep Abugharbieh behind bars while he awaits trial — prosecutors alleged he asked ChatGPT about putting someone in a dumpster on the night of April 13, three days before Limon and Bristy were last seen alive.

"What happens if a human has a put in a black garbage bag and thrown in a dumpster," prosecutors said Abugharbieh asked the artificial intelligence chatbot.

According to the filing, ChatGPT answered that it sounded dangerous, to which Abugharbieh responded by sending another message: "How would they find out."

OpenAI, the organization behind ChatGPT, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A roommate of Abugharbieh’s told investigators that he saw Abugharbieh moving some cardboard boxes from his room to a compactor dumpster at their apartment complex on April 17, prosecutors wrote. A search of the dumpster yielded items belonging to Limon, including a student ID and credit cards with his name on it, the filing stated.

DNA testing on a gray T-shirt also found in the dumpster indicated the genetic material was likely Limon's, and similar testing on a kitchen mat matched with Bristy, according to the filing.

Sheriff’s investigators on Friday found Limon’s remains in a heavy duty trash bag that smelled of decomposition, the filing stated. His death was preliminarily determined to be a homicide caused by “multiple sharp force injuries,” the motion stated, citing an autopsy.

According to the motion, there is no evidence that would point to Bristy still being alive, and investigators believe Abugharbieh disposed of her body.

Human remains were found Sunday during the search for Bristy, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said, but the remains have not been identified.

The sheriff’s office hasn’t said what may have motivated the killings.

Prosecutors said in their filing that Abugharbieh claimed to have given Limon and Bristy a ride to Clearwater the day they were last seen, April 16.

Investigators also alleged in the motion that Abugharbieh purchased trash bags, Lysol wipes and Febreze that night, and that blood was discovered in his apartment. He also disposed of items including Bristy’s pink cellphone cover, prosecutors alleged.

Jennifer Spradley, homicide bureau chief of the Hillsborough County Public Defender’s Office, which is representing Abugharbieh, said by email that they have no comment on the case.

Investigators said Abugharbieh had a cut on his left pinky when they first approached him, according to their motion, and was later determined to have lacerations on his legs. He said the finger injury was the result of an accident while slicing onions, the filing stated.

When interviewed by detectives, Abugharbieh denied knowing the whereabouts of Limon and Bristy and said they'd never been in his car, according to the filing, before he later changed his story once he was confronted with data that indicated Limon's phone had been in Clearwater, where Abugharbieh's car had also been.

According to the motion, Abugharbieh told the detectives he'd dropped Limon and Bristy off in Clearwater after Limon asked for a ride. Abugharbieh did not provide a reason as to why, prosecutors wrote.

On April 17, he drove to a location along the Howard Frankland Bridge that spans Tampa Bay and stopped there, the filing said, citing location data obtained through a search warrant. Limon's body was found on the side of the bridge.

Abugharbieh was arrested Friday after a brief standoff at a residence in the area, according to the sheriff’s office.

He was also charged with battery, false imprisonment, failure to report a death, storing remains in unapproved conditions and tampering with evidence, according to court records.

He was being held without bond at the sheriff’s Falkenburg Road Jail, according to court and jail records. A hearing was scheduled for Tuesday.

Family members have told NBC news that Limon and Bristy, both from Bangladesh, previously dated. Prosecutors in their filing described them as a couple.

The families of the pair said in a joint statement Sunday that their wish is that “the bodies of Zamil and Bristy be handled in accordance with Islamic rituals and funeral requirements.”

They also hoped the university will establish a memorial in the couple’s names.

In its own statement Sunday, USF said it "is mourning the tragic loss of students Nahida Bristy and Zamil Limon," adding that it is "committed to the safety and well-being of our students."

- *Charlie's Angels* star Kate Jackson said at the PaleyFest L.A. event celebrating the show's 50th anniversary that she had pitched the idea of the women being called angels.

- As Jackson recalled, she had been inspired by a painting depicting three angels in producer Aaron Spelling's office. He had wanted to call them alley cats.

- The actress said she didn't mind she was "never credited or paid."

*Charlie's Angels** *star Kate Jackson says she did more than star in the classic '70s series — she named it.

A painting of three angels that storied TV producer Aaron Spelling had in his office gave her the idea that the main characters should be called angels, Jackson explained this month at a 50th anniversary event for the series held at PaleyFest. She passed on the idea to Spelling.

"I never heard of the words 'intellectual property,' and I thought in order to copyright something, you had to actually have the money to produce it," Jackson said. "But I'm still proud to have been part of it. I'm proud to have had an idea that kind of set the world on fire for a while. It was fun."

Jackson had met with Spelling to hear his idea for the series, which was still in its early stages. She wasn't a fan of what she'd been pitched so far.

"I was looking down," Jackson said, "while he was telling me the story of *The Alley Cats* thinking, 'That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life. What's going to happen when I look up? Is my top lip going to stick to my teeth, or am I going to be smiling?'"

She steeled herself to push back, and that's when the *Mod Squad** *producer asked Jackson if she had any ideas of her own.

As she told it, she was at a loss and simply began, "Once upon a time," which is what was eventually used for the opening of the series. She said she was "never credited or paid" for her contributions.

*Charlie's Angels *aired for five seasons, between 1976 and 1981.

Jackson starred as Sabrina Duncan on the first three seasons. Her costars were originally Farrah Fawcett, who left her full-time role on the series after season one, as well as Jaclyn Smith, a consistent presence on the ABC show, and Cheryl Ladd, who joined in the second season.

The story of the beautiful, butt-kicking private detectives certainly caught on.

*Charlie's Angels* was a ratings hit that was nominated for four Emmys during its run. It, of course, had a renaissance in the 2000s, when Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu did an action-comedy version, with a memorable soundtrack featuring Destiny's Child.

The story was rebooted again in 2019, with Elizabeth Banks in the director's chair. That time, Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska played the main characters.

- Anne Hathaway shares details about her ominous dance sequence in the new film *Mother Mary*.

- The scene, which required Hathaway to train for eight hours a day, sees her pop star character move like she is "possessed by something," the actress tells EW.

- Director David Lowery calls the dance an "invitation to an exorcism.”

**This article contains minor spoilers for *Mother Mary*.**

Anne Hathaway’s turn as a fictional pop megastar preparing for her comeback show in *Mother Mary* required intense training.

The Oscar winner performs original songs by Jack Antonoff, Charli XCX, and FKA Twigs in the new David Lowery film. But one of her most demanding scenes is devoid of singing, or even background music.

After showing up unannounced at the house of fashion designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel), years after the friends had a falling out, Hathaway’s Mother Mary demonstrates the dance she intends to unveil at her upcoming performance. It’s raw, powerful, and, by the end, a tad frightening.

“At a certain point, what was inside of her took over, and what was inside of her was messy and violent and out of control, and she just had no choice but to let it take over,” Hathaway tells * *of the memorable sequence.

Hathaway says she trained for about eight hours a day in the months leading up to filming the dance number, which was choreographed by Dani Vitale, known for her work with real-life pop stars like Rihanna, Katy Perry, and BTS.

"I could make a documentary about the making of that dance," Hathaway says.

In the film, Mother Mary performs the piece without music for Sam, who refuses to listen to the pop star’s work. Wearing sweatpants and no shoes, she goes through the movements in Sam’s dark and spacious barn studio, the silence highlighting the physicality of it all. The result is a haunting modern dance that looks and feels like an exorcism, or, as Lowery puts it, “the invitation to an exorcism.”

Although the audience experiences the scene without music, Hathaway shares that she actually performed the dance to two pieces of music, which Lowery says "brought out different emotions."

"The movement was always largely the same, but there was so much expression that changed from one take to the next," Lowery explains.

The dance hints at spooky events to come, and that's not just because Mother Mary intends to pair it with her new song, “Spooky Action.”

For her ominous routine, Hathaway tells EW she found inspiration in her *Mothers' Instinct *costar, Jessica Chastain.

“I have to give a shout out to Jessica Chastain, who, when she did *A Doll’s House*, did a *danse macabre* on stage that I saw right before I left to start this,” she says, “and it just blew my mind and made me wanna go even deeper than I already had gone.”

In the end, Hathaway says, the key to pulling off the dance was learning how to look “possessed” in her movements.

“It’s not just about the performance,” she says, “it's about looking like something else is coming through, that you are actually possessed by something.”

*Mother Mary* is now in theaters.
