Ashley Williams might look like she has it all together on the outside, but internally her head can be full of insecurities — one of which inspired her two new Hallmark movies.

“I got really sad in an airport one day, and I had an idea for a movie based on sort of my own downward spiral of self-hatred,” Williams, 46, exclusively told Us Weekly, before laughing about how the concept for To Barcelona, With Love and To Barcelona, Forever, came about.

She explained, “I had this idea for about like a writer who, you know, she’s a terrible writer, but the person who translates her book into a different language [then] rewrites it and makes it an actually good book.” (This is the premise for To Barcelona, With Love premieres on Hallmark Channel Saturday, June 7.)

Williams joked, “That would be the only way that I would ever be a successful writer is if somebody rewrote what I wrote into an actually good book. That was literally my thought.”

The actress recalled, “I was like, ‘Oh, that’s kind of not a bad idea for, like, a rom-com,” and eventually pitched it to Julie Sherman Wolfe, who is a writer for Hallmark.

Sherman Wolfe pointed out that they needed another Hallmark star to “speaks a different language” to make it work. “Right then Alison Sweeney walked by and I said, ‘Hey, Ali, do you speak another language?’ And she said, ‘Spanish,’” Williams told Us. “And I turned to Julie, and I said, ‘So the movie takes place in Barcelona.’ And that is how the idea came about.”

After a successful pitch, both Williams and Sweeney, 48, signed on to play writer Anna and translator Erica, respectively. The excitement, however, wasn’t over, because Sherman Wolfe liked the idea so much, she asked the actresses to figure out how to make it into two movies.

“We were really picky about the second movie because, of course, now there’s a lot of extra stress with that, like, making sure it’s different, making sure it’s really its own story,” Sweeney exclusively told Us, confessing she “hates” sequels so she didn’t want To Barcelona, Forever, which premieres on Saturday, June 14, to feel like one.

Sweeney noted that the first installment is about Erica (her character) and Anna’s “friendship” being introduced through miscommunication and a hilarious book debacle they find themselves in.

The second film is more about Anna’s (Williams) next steps after realizing that maybe her creative passions lie somewhere other than writing romance novels.

“At the end of the first movie, Anna is a completely different person who now is ready for what happens in the second movie,” Williams teased. “There does end up being a love story that, you know, is something completely different from what Anna could have ever considered.”

Williams explained to Us that To Barcelona, With Love is about a “misunderstanding” while To Barcelona, Forever is also about a misunderstanding with “some very well-intentioned deception” with an “incredibly, tall, handsome Spaniard” thrown in for good measure.

“Having lived through this crazy hijinks of a situation, like, then what happens to these women?” Sweeney asked. “What, what do they do? What do they learn from [the first movie] that they carry forward?”

She promised To Barcelona, Forever “very much gives you that next chapter of their lives to enjoy and with the lessons they learned, but maybe some more lessons to learn too.”

To Barcelona, With Love premieres on Hallmark Channel Saturday, June 7, at 8 p.m. ET. To Barcelona, Forever, follows on Saturday, June 14, at the same time.

As a result of Georgia’s murder trial going viral, Ginny almost relapsed with her self-harm before Child Protective Services stepped in and took her — and Austin — away on Ginny & Georgia.

During the fifth episode of season 3, which premiered on Thursday, June 5, Georgia (Brianne Howey) could no longer hide the suspicious deaths of her first and second husband. The accusations that she was a serial killer made her trial go viral, which created excessive public attention around her, Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and Austin (Diesel La Torraca).

Georgia’s marriage to Paul (Scott Porter) fell apart as he questioned her past. He ultimately left the house despite Austin asking him to stay. In the courtroom, Georgia’s lawyer got Gabriel’s (Alex Mallari Jr.) testimony to be deemed inadmissible but it was too late. By the end of the episode, CPS stepped in to take Ginny and Austin out of the home due to a tip from Zion (Nathan Mitchell) and Gil (Aaron Ashmore).

Ginny, meanwhile, tried to not let the interest in her mother’s case affect her. But very quickly she was punching Press (Damian Romeo) for joking about her being a serial killer, sneaking out of school to go on a date with Wolfe (Ty Doran) and nearly self-harming. Georgia stepped in before Ginny could hurt herself (after seeing her poem from season 2 about Georgia gaining views on social media).

As Ginny was dealing with the fallout of the trial, her friends took a step back from supporting her. She also shared an awkward moment with Marcus (Felix Mallard), who saw her kissing Wolfe.

The flashbacks from this episode hinted at Georgia’s shoplifting past when she took Ginny out of school as a child so they could go shopping.

Ginny & Georgia, which returned after more than two years, picked up after Georgia was arrested on her and Paul’s wedding day for the murder of fellow Wellsbury resident Cynthia’s husband. Georgia previously killed Cynthia’s terminally ill husband after learning Cynthia blocked Austin’s dad Gil’s application to move to Wellsbury.

Summer TV Preview 2025: Inside Must-Watch New and Returning Shows

Before the hit series returned to Netflix, Howey, 35, reflected on how becoming a mother to her daughter, whom she shares with husband Matt Ziering, allowed her to understand Georgia better.

“Having my own daughter going through these scenes … meant so much more in a new way,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in February. “The more personal you make the work, the more universal it becomes, and the writing, the story, the nuance, it’s so personal to everybody involved and it seems to be making waves. No matter what walk of life you come from, there seems to be a character that you feel like you can really relate to and that you want to go on this journey with them.”

Ginny & Georgia is currently streaming on Netflix.

Leah Remini and Kevin James made sitcom history with their dynamic on The King of Queens — but was there a downside to the show?

In her Us Weekly cover story, Remini, 54, confirmed she is “always” in touch with James, 60, years after they played love interests on the hit series, saying, “We talk all the time. He’s the real deal.”

Remini noted that working with James affected other shows she has worked on.

“He kind of ruined me for future projects. I loved working with Kevin so much,” she added. “I’ve said that a thousand times but he really did ruin me because he’s the perfect leading man for me.”

TV Shows That Changed Their Premise: From 'Scrubs' to 'Saved by the Bell'

The King of Queens, which ran from 1998 to 2007, followed a working-class couple that lived in Queens. In addition to Remini and James, The King of Queens also starred Jerry Stiller, Victor Williams, Patton Oswalt), Larry Romano, Gary Valentine and Nicole Sullivan.

After making Us root for Carrie and Doug, Remini and James waited nearly a decade before reuniting on his sitcom Kevin Can Wait. The CBS series aired from 2016 to 2018 and introduced James as a recently retired police officer who became a single dad to three kids after his wife (played by Erinn Hayes) died ahead of season 2. (Remini, for her part, was introduced as his partner at the police force after he returned to work.)

“There is nobody I have worked with or ever will work with that will match what she did,” James told TVInsider in September 2024. “It doesn’t matter what I do, I’ll have fun working with other people, but there’s nothing like what I had with Leah in that way. That comfort and laughing my ass off just the whole time.”

Reboots and Revivals Missing Beloved TV Stars

James called Remini “family,” adding, “We just have that relationship and a connection.” Despite their bond, Remini explained to Us why neither of them were in a rush to reboot The King of Queens.

“I would consider it. But they’d have to really present a way to represent Jerry,” she said to Us about actor Jerry Stiller, who died in 2020. “Because it would be hard to say yes without something meaningful.”

Remini admitted she wasn’t sure about revisiting that world.

“Not just in memory of Jerry Stiller. It would be hard to do a show like that without him,” she continued. “To me in memory, it wouldn’t be enough. You would have to really think of something to represent Jerry. Because he was such a big part of this. There’s no The King of Queens without him.”

In 2021, Ana de Armas blew us away with her action moves in No Time to Die. This weekend, Armas is finally getting to headline her own action movie, Ballerina, a John Wick spinoff that even features Keanu Reeves.

Unsurprisingly, Ballerina delivers all of the action we could have ever wanted, and Armas seems poised for even greater stardom.

If you liked Ballerina, then you’re going to love these three action movies after watching the John Wick spinoff.

The connecting theme of this list is that all three movies feature female action heroes. And it’s a positive sign for the genre that we didn’t have to look far to find these films.

9 Must-See Action Movies on Netflix Right Now (May 2025)

‘Atomic Blonde’ (2017)

If we were ranking Charlize Theron‘s action films, then Atomic Blonde would be pretty high on the list. In this late Cold War spy action thriller, Theron plays Lorraine Broughton, an M16 on a mission to East Germany to recover stolen intelligence from the men who murdered another agent.

Most of the fights that Lorraine has in this movie are with men, and they are absolutely brutal. One of the reasons why Atomic Blonde stands out is that Lorraine pays a physical price for all of the hand-to-hand battles she’s in. This may be a very stylized film, but the action is top-notch.

Atomic Blonde is available for rent or purchase at Prime Video.

‘Peppermint’ (2018)

Jennifer Garner had her John Wick moment in Peppermint, and all of her action experience from Alias and even Daredevil and Elektra probably helped prepare her for this. Garner plays Riley North, a banker who is happily married to Chris (Jeff Hephner) and proudly raising their daughter, Carly (Cailey Fleming). When a drug lord named Diego Garcia (Juan Pablo Raba) sends out a hit on Chris for something he didn’t even do, only Riley is left alive.

8 Great Action Movies on Hulu Right Now (May 2025)

When Diego escapes justice, Riley vows revenge for the loss of her husband and child. And she’s willing to take a destructive journey over several years just to settle the score.

Peppermint is streaming on AMC+.

‘The Long Kiss Goodnight’ (1996)

Genna Davis wasn’t the first female action star, but she was definitely a pioneer in The Long Kiss Goodnight. The film was written by Shane Black, so of course it takes place during Christmas. Davis plays Samantha Caine, but she knows full well that isn’t her real name. Eight years ago, Samantha was found badly injured and she never regained her memory.

None of the private investigators that Samantha hires can tell her who she really is. So she finds a life for herself as a school teacher and the wife of Hal (Tom Amandes), and as the mother of Caitlin (Yvonne Zima). One Christmas, private investigator Mitch Henessey (Samuel L. Jackson) finally finds a lead about Samantha. And he’s not the only one, because Samantha’s enemies are also close to tracking her down.

The Long Kiss Goodnight is available to rent or buy on Prime Video.
