On the show today…

Filming has begun on the Disney+ Australian event series The Clearing. The series is inspired by the real-life Australian cult The Family and its founder Anne Hamilton-Byrne, who is one of the rare female cult leaders in history. Here’s everything we know about the all-star Australian cast.

And The Hills star Audrina Patridge has released a new memoir chronicling all the secrets behind the iconic reality TV show. The book includes some off-script stories about her castmates and it’s potentially changed the way we see the show.

Plus, Beauty and the Geek Australia is currently airing and pulling in a large and devoted audience each night. But as the makeover episodes start to air this week, we’re being forced to confront a very problematic side of the show and what it represents.
