N)- The official trailer has dropped for “Billy Joel: And So It Goes,” an upcoming documentary chronicling the life and career of the legendary “Piano Man.” The HBO Max docuseries will air in two parts—the first half premiering Friday, July 18, followed by the second installment on July 25. Featuring Joel’s own candid commentary, the film dives into the highs and lows of his decades-long journey in music. “We just wanted to make as much noise as possible,” Joel says in the trailer. Another clip features a laugh: “I didn’t know one person who liked what we were doing.” He adds simply, “I loved it.”

Fans of Murderbot also have reason to celebrate. Apple TV+ has officially renewed the comedic sci-fi thriller for a second season. Starring Alexander Skarsgård as a self-hacking, self-aware security robot with a sarcastic streak, the series has gained a loyal following for its unique blend of action and dry wit.

Meanwhile, David Corenswet, the new face of Superman, opened up about his experience playing both sides of the iconic hero. In a recent interview, Corenswet admitted that portraying mild-mannered Clark Kent may actually be more enjoyable than donning the cape.
“The cape helps, but still—it was a nerve-wracking experience walking out for the first time for all to see,” Corenswet said. “With Clark it’s a lot more fun. You’re sort of hidden… the glasses, the hair—it’s more incognito. You have permission to have a little more fun.”
