If you’ve ever wanted to visit the cozy bookstore from Netflix’s hit series “You,” now is your chance. You might not find Joe Goldberg working the counter, but for two days only, New Yorkers get to step inside the show’s world at a pop-up Mooney’s in Soho. 

From April 22-23, fans can take photos inside the staged store, grab “You” swag and participate in literary scavenger hunts at the location at 489 Broome St., New York. Participants must register for entry and can sign up for a time slot between noon and 9 p.m. using a QR code posted outside the store.

The Mooney’s early birds caught the worm on the pop-up’s opening day – “You” star Penn Badgley himself made an appearance to surprise fans and snag some pictures. 

Inside the pop-up, you’ll find dark walls, gold-framed pictures, green bankers lamps and dozens of bookshelves reminiscent of “You.” Grab a Mooney’s swag bag from the front desk and head out on a scavenger hunt amid the shelves to solve for a secret code that’ll get you access to the second part of the experience.

English author and “Heartstopper” writer Alice Oseman took to Instagram on April 22 to confirm the show would return for a last installment after fan speculation that the series would end on a cliffhanger.

“We are making a feature film to conclude the Heartstopper screen adaptation, based on Heartstopper Volume 6 and the ‘Nick and Charlie’ novella. We are getting to tell the end of the story!!!” Oseman wrote.

Oseman continued: “I’m deeply relieved and so excited about this new creative venture. I’ve written the script and we’re hard at work already. I know you’ll have a lot of questions, and I’ll be able to talk about it more very soon, but for now let’s CELEBRATE! Heartstopper is getting its ending!!!!!! 🍂”

‘Heartstopper’: Why you should make time to watch Netflix’s sweet, queer YA romance

Based on the graphic novels by Oseman, who wrote the show, “Heartstopper” premiered in 2022 as a half-hour series about Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick (Kit Connor), two British teens who fall madly in love over the course of a school year.

Netflix’s thriller drama “You” returns this week for an “epic fifth and final season,” according to Netflix as “Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) returns to New York to enjoy his happily ever after… until his perfect life is threatened by the ghosts of his past and his own dark desires.”

Co-showrunner and executive producer Michael Foley told Netflix’s Tudum the producers loved the “idea of things coming full circle for” Joe.

“We always said that we would stop after five and [that], in a perfect world, we would bring Joe back home to New York,” Foley told Tudum. “We loved the idea of things coming full circle for him. We’re excited by the fact that Joe came home as such a different person than [who] we saw in Season 1. At the core of our final story for Joe is this dichotomy of the old and the new.”

According to Netflix, the final season picks up three years after Joe and Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) left London for New York City. Kate is now CEO of the Lockwood Corporation while Joe is her loyal husband “dubbed Prince Charming by the adoring public.”

The release of Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” has reignited discourse about vampire etiquette on social media. Starring Michael B. Jordan, the original horror film set in the 1930s − which dominated the box office over the weekend − called back to classic vampire rules and mythology that prevents the deceitful entities from entering an establishment unless they’re invited in.

The standard vampire lore has now become the center of memes, skits, and reactions online. Other people joked that they are getting rid of their welcome mats to be extra careful of the persuasive creatures.

“The concept of vampires not being allowed in unless invited is so cool to me,” one person wrote in a viral post on X. “I forgot it was a thing till today.”

The businesswoman, designer and mother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles shared that she was diagnosed with Stage 1 cancer in her left breast during an interview with Gayle King on “CBS Mornings” and in her new book.

Knowles, affectionally dubbed Mama Tina by fans, said the diagnoses came in July 2024 after a delayed mammogram appointment. She also opened up about the moments leading up to her lumpectomy.

And she is continuing to share more intimate details about her life in “Matriarch,” which was released April 22. Oprah Winfrey announced the book is the latest selection for her famous Oprah’s Book Club.
