“The breakout Canadian actor is a Balenciaga ambassador and an unabashed evangelist for his own beauty routine.
Hudson Williams is a Canadian actor, known for his breakout acting role as Shane Hollander in the 2025 television series “Heated Rivalry.” In 2026, he was named a brand ambassador and Friend of the House for Balenciaga, fronting its Spring 2026 Heart and Body campaign. He is also a prominent advocate for male skincare, popularising multi-step routines through a viral grooming video in 2025 and signing a brand campaign with Korean label SKIN1004 in 2026.
Born in 2001 in Kelowna, British Columbia, and raised in Kamloops to a Korean mother and British-Dutch father, Williams attended the Beattie School of the Arts and Sa-Hali Secondary School. He earned a Film Arts acting certificate from Langara College in Vancouver in 2020.
Styled by Anastasia Walker, Williams made his Met Gala debut in May 2026 wearing custom Balenciaga with Bulgari jewellery, and attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in a sheer evening look. He covered the Spring 2026 issue of Wonderland, and collaborated with groomer Aika Flores on clinical skincare for the Golden Globes.
"Heated Rivalry" became the most watched acquired scripted series in HBO Max history, establishing his international platform. He subsequently secured roles in television series including “Yaga” and “The Altruists,” and feature films “Apparatus” and "Tyrant.”

Prime Video renewed Neagley for Season 2,
and the numbers explain why: 40 million viewers in its first 13 days, making it the streamer’s fourth-biggest original-series debut.
Apparently, Neagley didn’t need Reacher to bring the audience, she just needed a few people to make the mistake of getting on her bad side. 😂
Now the real question is how big the Reacher universe is going to get.
Reacher has Season 6, Neagley has Season 2, and at this point the 110 Special Investigators might need their own Amazon department.
One thing is official: Neagley isn’t just visiting Reacher’s world anymore, she’s building a neighborhood in it.
Why is Shawn Levy in so high demand by Disney?? 👇
Shawn Levy just packed up his production company 21 Laps and left Netflix for Disney.
Not the movies. Those were already heading that way. This is the TV business. 20th Television locked him into an overall deal that starts October 2027, after his Netflix pact runs out. Trade reporting puts it at five years and nine figures, which is wild money for a producer who isn’t the writer in the room.
Stranger Things and the spinoff stay at Netflix. Levy’s already said he’s not walking away from that universe. So this isn’t “Hawkins moves to Disney+.” It’s “the guy who helped turn Hawkins into a global machine now works for the Mouse on everything else.”
Levy is the third big get by Disney in a short span. Disney is clearly trying to stock the TV side with people who can actually put a show in front of a mass audience, not just prestige-core subscribers.
Important caveat: this is TV only. Disney barely does film overalls anymore, so Levy’s next movie deal can still land somewhere else if he wants it to.
On the directing side, the gossip is even messier. Tom Cruise and Paramount were reportedly all in on him for the Days of Thunder sequel. He passed and stayed with Ryan Gosling on Marvel’s Ghost Rider instead. That’s not a small swing. That’s choosing a flaming skull over Tom Cruise but the box office projections for Digger may tell us he made the right choice.
Why Disney suddenly threw the bag, well execs reportedly saw a cut of Star Wars: Starfighter this summer and talks ramped after that. If that’s true, the screening did its job. Levy has now directed for 20th Century, Marvel, and Lucasfilm.
The bet is pretty obvious. Disney wants someone who can take dusty IP, make it feel like an event, and maybe finally give Disney+ a four-quadrant hit that isn’t just “the movie but longer.” Levy already did that once with Stranger Things. Now they want him to do it in-house.
