Bill and Ted 3 finally faces the music once summer 2020 arrives

Bill & Ted 3: Face the Music Announcement

The Wyld Stallyns ride again! It’s been a bumpy road for Bill and Ted 3: Face the Music, there is finally an end in sight. Stars Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves confirmed that the long-awaited third installment in the most righteous Bill and Ted series will begin filming this summer, with an eye toward a summer 2020 release.

The announcement came on the official Orion Pictures YouTube channel, where Reeves and Winter make the announcement at the famous Hollywood Bowl. While the Bill and Ted 3 filming and release dates are the big news, most of the video is actually a tribute to Bill and Ted‘s dedicated and patient fans.  “We owe you a huge debt of gratitude and we wanted to say thank you,” Winter says, before both actors drop Bill and Ted’s catchphrase, “Be excellent.”

Previous reports indicated that Bill and Ted 3: Face the Music will see the time-traveling rockers suffering from a cosmic midlife crisis. “Basically, they’re supposed to write a song to save the world and they haven’t done that,” Reeves said on The Graham Norton Show. That pressure, as well as Bill and Ted’s crumbling family lives, come to a head when a time-traveler warns them that if they don’t write the fabled tune, time itself will break apart.

In 2012, news broke that that Galaxy Quest director Dean Parisot had signed on to Bill and Ted 3: Face the Music, while original Bill and Ted screenwriters Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon would return to pen the script. According to Winter, that was still the plan in 2018, although Reeves quickly cast doubt on the sequel’s future, claiming that rights issues and financial concerns threatened to scuttle the production.

Judging by the latest announcement, those conflicts have been settled, although it’s not clear if Parisot is still attached to the project. William Sadler, who played Death in Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, is expected to reprise his role for the sequel.

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure debuted in 1989, and told the story of two rock and roll-obsessed teenagers who traveled through time in order to pass their high school history class, ensuring that their band, the Wyld Stallyns, would eventually bring peace and harmony to the world. In the follow-up, Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, Bill and Ted died, and had to escape hell to make their local battle of the bands competition

How to watch, results and highlights: Duke vs. Illinois
People walking outside of Madison Square Garden.

It's rare to get a high-profile non-conference game this late in the college basketball season, so when it happens, enjoy it. Cooper Flagg and the No. 3 Duke Blue Devils (23-3) take on Kasparas Jakucionis and the Illinois Fighting Illini (17-10). The two squads last played each other in 2020, with Illinois pulling out an 83-68 victory.
Since losing to Clemson on February 8, Duke has won three consecutive games, including Monday's 80-62 victory over Virginia. Duke is in prime position to secure a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Speaking of the tournament, Illinois is fading rather quickly. The Illini are projected as a No. 7 seed in the tournament thanks to their seven Quad 1 wins. However, Illinois can't afford to lose much more, or they will be on the tournament bubble.
If Illinois can pull off the upset, it will be a massive win on their resume. If Duke wins, the No. 1 seed is that much closer. Find out how to watch Duke versus Illinois, including the start time, TV channel, and highlights. Check out our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide for more coverage.

The 50 best shows on Netflix in February 2025
Robert De Niro in Zero Day.

While other streamers tend to slack off for the final weekend of the month, Netflix has dropped two new series this week that are the new No. 1 and No. 2 on the most popular shows on Netflix. The first is American Murder: Petito, a true crime story for the age of social media because the titular murder victim was already known before she was killed.
Netflix's second new addition is Zero Day, one of its most hyped original shows of 2025. Getting Robert De Niro to star in it alongside a strong cast of supporting players definitely played a part in this show's meteoric rise to No. 2 on Netflix's chart in under a day. It should be interesting to see if it has staying power.
You can find these series and more below among the best shows on Netflix. We update this list every Friday to give you the best streaming options for your weekend viewing.

We’ve also rounded up all the best new shows to stream this week, the best movies on Netflix, the best shows on Hulu, the best shows on Amazon Prime, and the best shows on Disney+ because we take our streaming seriously.
