Tennis fans can rejoice. The first Grand Slam event of 2025 has officially arrived, with the Australian Open kicking off Sunday, Jan. 12, at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia. Catch the matches live on ESPN.
The 2025 Australian Open promises to be a thrilling tournament, set to feature the best of the best to open the season. Competitors include 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic, defending champion Jannik Sinner, world No. 3-ranked Carlos Alcaraz and Australia’s very own Nick Kyrgios, who is set to make his highly anticipated comeback.
Sidelined for much of the past two years with intense knee and wrist pain, Kyrgios discussed his return to action at SXSW Sydney, where he touched on his renewed sense of optimism and focus leading up to his Grand Slam return.
“The injury I had was brutal. The surgeon said I probably won’t play again,” Kyrgios said. “But I said, ‘Whatever. Just try and get me another two to three years of my career.’ It’s been a brutal last couple of years, but just being out there to play in front of a home crowd, whether it is good or bad, it will certainly be a lot of fun, for sure. I am looking forward to it.
“My only motivation to come back and play is to win a Grand Slam, and I’ll give it one more shot,” Kyrgios concluded.
Kyrgios’ single best Australian Open performance came in 2015, when the Australian native reached the quarterfinals — something his fans will eagerly hope he can repeat or surpass in a tournament boasting top-tier talent.

Since April 2020, fans of British period pieces and crime fiction have been delighting in the wit and whims of Victorian-era private investigator Eliza Scarlet (Kate Phillips, “Peaky Blinders”) and her policing partner DI William Wellington (Stuart Martin, “Army of Thieves,” 2021). With four complete six-episode seasons under its belt, PBS’s “Miss Scarlet & the Duke” has continued to captivate audiences over the past four and a half years — particularly as a series of pandemic-related lockdowns kept audiences at home, and often glued to their televisions, in the early days of the show. Now back for a fifth season, Eliza — the strong, independent woman she is — continues to handle matters on her own, with the Duke nowhere to be seen.
Season 5 of “Miss Scarlet,” formerly “Miss Scarlet & the Duke,” premieres Sunday, Jan. 12, on PBS. Check your local listings for details.
Created by “Trollied” and “The Mallorca Files” writer Rachael New, “Miss Scarlet & the Duke” began by following Eliza in the wake of her father’s death. A well-respected detective who ran his own agency, Eliza’s father’s sudden death left her essentially pen-
niless and on the cusp of making a self-defining choice in the first episode of the series: either find herself a husband to depend on financially (it is Victorian-era England, after all) or take up her father’s mantel and assume the responsibilities of the detective agency against all odds and gossip (again: Victorian England).
Opting for the latter, as she was already in the business and in no rush to secure herself a husband, Eliza soon calls upon a longtime friend and Scotland Yard detective for help: William Wellington, also known simply as “The Duke.”
Throughout the remaining 23 episodes to date (the most recent of which, the Season 4 finale, aired Feb. 11, 2024, on PBS), Eliza and Duke solved cases of all sizes and subject matter, from theft and blackmail to gang violence and murder. Having a police detective on her side meant that Eliza had many resources at her beck and call — not to mention someone she trusted to back her up in times of danger. But now, in Season 5, things have changed once again for Eliza, and she has to start back at ground zero with Scotland Yard.
While audiences don’t know what is coming down the pike for the diligent detective, existing fans of the show will remember (spoilers!) that in Episode 4 of Season 4, titled “The Diamond Feather,” Duke professed his love to Eliza and then promptly left for New York City, where a job with the local police force awaited him. Claiming that his London-based job around Eliza made it too difficult for him to separate his romantic feelings from his work, that heartbreaking moment was the last audiences saw of Duke.
Despite some followers of the show craving the romantic coupling of the two characters, Duke’s departure — much like Eliza’s father’s death — gave the character some agency, albeit this time, agency of a more political kind.

Q: It’s good to see Jon Hamm doing series work again with “Landman,” but what was his first TV series?
A: Though AMC’s “Mad Men” (2007-15) certainly was the show that cemented his television cred as advertising executive Don Draper, Hamm had a couple of series roles prior to that show. He appeared regularly on the NBC drama “Providence” during its 2000-01 season as a firefighter, then he played a police inspector on the largely female-driven Lifetime series “The Division” for the last three of its four seasons (2002-04).
During the 2006-07 season, Hamm has recurring parts on two shows, CBS’s “The Unit” and ABC’s “What About Brian.” Then came “Mad Men,” which changed his career trajectory and earned him awards including a Primetime Emmy and two Golden Globes. Even before that show was over, though, he appeared in “A Young Doctor’s Handbook” (2013-14) on Ovation – and right after “Mad Men,” he joined Netflix’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” (2015-19) in another recurring role.
Also in 2015, Hamm was in the ensemble cast of Netflix’s “Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp.” He did considerable voice work in animated shows including Comedy Central’s “TripTank” (2015-16), Prime Video’s “All or Nothing” (2016-20) and the Internet series “The Amazing Gayl Pile” (2016-18). Hamm also co-starred in Prime Video’s “Good Omens,” which debuted seasons in 2019 and 2023 and still has a series finale in the works.
After more animation voiceover work in Fox’s “Bless the Harts” in 2020-21, Hamm was in Season 3 of Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show” (2023) and the fifth season of FX’s “Fargo” (2023-24). He’s also in the voice cast of Fox’s continuing “Grimsburg” (which has been renewed for a second season) as he plays an oil-industry magnate in Paramount+’s podcast-inspired “Landman.”

Q: Is Angie Harmon ever going to give us more “Rizzoli & Isles”? What’s she up to now?
A: Unfortunately, it looks like the odd couple of Boston policing did indeed solve their last case in 2016.
“Rizzoli & Isles” was a huge success for its cable network, TNT. So, when it was canceled in 2016, fans were surprised and upset and immediately started agitating for
a continuation of some kind. But none ever came to pass.
Angie Harmon (“Law & Order”) has moved on — sort of. “Rizzoli & Isles” immediately found a new home for itself in reruns on Lifetime. And Harmon found a home there, too, first as the narrator of the docuseries “Cellmate Secrets,” then as the star of the feature film “Buried in Barstow” (2022). Marketing material for those shows generally mentioned

Narrated by Awkwa na, new bug journeys await, full of more mind-blowing behaviors and larger-than-life characters.
that “Rizzoli & Isles” was airing in reruns on the network as well.
“Buried in Barstow” was supposed to be the first in a series and part of a multi-picture deal Harmon signed with Lifetime, but nothing else has come out of it so far.
Other than those, and a brief gig as a voice actress in a few episodes of the kids cartoon “Voltron: Legendary Defender” in 2017, we haven’t heard anything from Harmon since she turned in Rizzoli’s badge.

Q: Ken Jeong did some singing on “The Masked Singer” and did a great job. Has he done any more?
A: It might be easier to ask what Ken Jeong (“Community”) hasn’t done at a professional standard.
In case you hadn’t heard, before becoming a full-time comedian and then actor, Jeong was a practicing internal physician. In fact, he still technically is — he maintains his medical license in California, presumably in case this multi-hyphenate-screen-star thing doesn’t work out.
He started doing comedy while still in school, before taking comedy to the screen in film and television roles. His latest transformation is into a TV host, of the Fox musical game show “I Can See Your Voice” — a gig he got after being a full-time panelist in “The Masked Singer.”
And through it all, he’s also found time to show off some singing chops of his own. At first, it was for comedic effect. Jeong sang in “The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard” (2009), one of his earlier screen roles. He also broke into song a few times in “Community,” his breakout hit sitcom.
But, when he got into the musical reality shows, he surprised people by actually being good. See, for example, his performance of “I’m Just Ken,” the hit song from the 2023 film “Barbie,” in a “Barbie”-themed episode of “The Masked Singer” last fall.
If you’re really a fan, I recommend checking out his surprisingly tender performance of Radiohead’s power ballad “Creep” in a 2019 episode of “King of Masked Singer,” the Korean version of the series (did I mention that Jeong is also fluent in Korean?). People have shared it pretty widely on social media, with one Reddit user sharing it with the title “Today I learned Ken Jeong can sing ... like REALLY sing.”

Finding independence as a young adult can be hard. When you have Tourette syndrome, it can be even more complicated. Meet Baylen Dupree, a young woman managing fame, friendships, the future and more, during the series premiere of “Baylen Out Loud,” airing Monday, Jan. 13, on TLC.
At 18 years old, Baylen was officially diagnosed with Tourette syndrome after she began experiencing an influx of involuntary motor and vocal tics that grew increasingly difficult to control. Despite the challenges her diagnosis brings, including public mishaps with those unaware of Baylen’s tics — which can cause her to randomly state phrases such as “wind it up,” “your mom’s built like a falafel” and “my mom has crabs” (per People), which can potentially lead Baylen into dangerous situations, such as claiming to have a gun in the middle of TSA screening, as seen in a trailer for the series — the young woman remains steadfast in her plans to move out, find independence and learn to manage the ups and downs of living with Tourette’s.
As described by Warner Bros. Discovery, the series “will inspire audiences as they watch Baylen push herself out-
side her comfort zone in pursuit of the independent life she’s always dreamed of, particularly as she strives to build a future with her boyfriend, Colin Dooley. After years of feeling self-conscious about her condition, Baylen is finally ready to live freely, embracing her authentic self and showing the world that Tourette’s doesn’t define her. With the support of her family and friends, Baylen is ready to stretch her wings.”
With the support of her family, including her five siblings, her protective father Allen and her strong-willed mother Julie, Baylen is now attending West Virginia University and has found ways to not only manage her diagnosis but to laugh at herself through it all — even gaining an impressive 9.5 million followers on her TikTok account, @baylen. dupree, as she “leverages the power of positivity and her strong relationships to navigate life’s challenges” (per Warner Bros.).
Offering fearless honesty, raw humor and a path to a deeper understanding of Tourette syndrome, “Baylen Out Loud” debuts Monday, Jan. 13, on TLC.
