Will & HarperThe Emmys, Will Ferrell's road-trip doc
Published on January 15, 2026 EDT

While our Fall TV Preview is still going strong, yesterday we kicked off our Fall Movie Preview. Over 10 days we'll have exclusive content about a dozen films — with our very first animated motion cover, celebrating Moana 2 with stars Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson, as the centerpiece. Circling back to TV, though, we're also gearing up for the Emmys. We've got plenty of predictions on who will win, but one thing I know for sure is I'll be co-hosting the PEOPLE and EW Red Carpet Live, which you can watch on our website, YouTube, and social accounts, as well as on Roku starting at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on Sunday. (Shameless plug complete.)  —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

And the Emmy goes to… We'll find out at Sunday's ceremony, hosted by father-son team Eugene and Dan Levy starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ABC. Shōgun has already broken the record for most wins by a series in a single year with the 14 it picked up at last week's Creative Arts ceremony — and the FX samurai epic is projected to win several more, including Outstanding Drama Series. On the comedy side, expect The Bear to dominate, while Hacks duo Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder are likely to score matching statuettes. TV's biggest night might be a predictable one, but it's no less exciting to see your favorite shows and actors celebrated! —Gerrad Hall, Editorial Director

In this intimate and heartwarming documentary (in theaters now, on Netflix Sept. 23), Will Ferrell takes a 16-day, cross-country road trip with longtime pal and fellow Saturday Night Live alum Harper Steele to rediscover their friendship after she came out as transgender. Come for the laughs, cameos, and raw emotions, stay for the pitch-perfect theme song co-written and performed by Kristen Wiig. —Lauren Huff, Staff Writer

Saturday Night Live star Ego Nwodim, raised by a single mom, enlists celebrities to be her "dad for a day," asking them things she wasn't able to ask her own. Upcoming guests for this moving yet funny new podcast include SNL costars Kenan Thompson and Mikey Day. —Jillian Sederholm, News Director

Tiny Reparations Books

The call — or, in this case, the book — is coming from inside the house! EW's own Lester Fabian Brathwaite has penned an explosive "part cultural critique, part memoir" debut that examines sexual racism, toxic masculinity, body dysmorphia, and so much more. You will be completely into it. —Dalton Ross, Editorial Director
