How are the actors' strikes impacting film and TV? We have an update on the SAG-AFTRA strike as Barbie and Oppenheimer hit the big screen this weekend.

On this week’s Backstage we hear from Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy star Zoe Saldana about her new series Special Ops: Lioness and her thoughts on the actors’ strike in the US.

Last year’s big summer hit, The Bear is back for season two. Ebon Moss Bachrach chats about the 'unbelievable' reaction the series received.

Plus, fresh off the back of Wimbledon, Aidan Turner tells us about his new drama series set in the world of pro-tennis, Fifteen-Love.
