Season 3 of Ted Lasso is underway, we're eating up Ali Wong and Steven Yeun's raging Beef and going behind the scenes of Alone Australia.

Did BL abandon Ted Lasso because it's straight culture? Is that the exact reason why it's a healing balm for BW? And how will Ted and Nate's breakup play out in the final series of the beloved Apple TV+ show?

Comedian Ali Wong and Oscar nominated Steven Yeun face off in The A24/Netflix series Beef, which features Wong and Yeun as strangers who become obsessed with making each others' lives hell after a road rage incident.

Alone Australia is SBS' upcoming version of the international hit documentary series. Executive Producer Riima Daher talks about everything from training participants how to use camera gear in the wilderness to where they poop.
