Mahershala Ali takes the lead in Apple TV+‘s new movie ‘Swan Song.’ 

The Academy Award winner stars as Cameron – a doting father and husband, whose world is flipped off its axis when he’s diagnosed with a terminal illness.

His life is rocked further when his doctor (played by Glenn Close) proposes an alternative solution to help him protect his family from his grief. Yet, it’s not without its ramifications because, by taking certain actions, Cam risks rewriting the fate of those he holds nearest.

Directed by Benjamin Cleary and co-starring Naomie Harris as well as Awkwafina, ‘Swan Song’ tells a story of love and sacrifice, as well as the extremes one will go to for family.

Set to hit the streamer and select theaters on December 17, check out the first-look trailer below…

For the last five years, The Weeknd and Post Malone have taken turns dominating the musical landscape to historic measure.

Beyond record-setting album sales and chart performance, they current hold the record for the two longest-running, male-led Hot 100 top 10 hits ever – ‘Blinding Lights’ and ‘Circles’ respectively.

With so much individual success, the two are looking to double their impact by joining forces for the new song, ‘One Right Now.’  Released November 5, the 80’s electroPop-inspired cut comes as the first collaboration between the artists and sees them trade verses about using a “new toy to get over an old one.”

“You said you loved me but I don’t care / That I broke my hand on the same one that you told me that it f-cked ya up
You think it’s so easy f-cking with my feelings / I got one comin’ over and one right now, one right now,” Posty sings on the chorus.
