Snake in Delhi Metro creates chaos as ladies' coach breaks into panic dance: Watch
In the wildest twist of Delhi Metro's daily drama, a video has gone viral showing sheer chaos erupt inside a ladies' coach, with women jumping, screaming, and bolting to one side. The alleged reason? A snake. Yes, you read that right. The viral footage shows passengers freaking out like they were on a Discovery Channel special instead of the Yellow Line. When metro turns into a jungle safari The actual reptile is nowhere to be seen in the clip, but that did not stop the rumour mill or the hysteria. Apparently, just the mention of a snake had everyone losing their collective calm. Reptile or rumour? Social media reacts Twitter and Instagram went full investigative journalist mode. One user compared the incident to a 'wildlife safari,' while another dubbed the Delhi Metro a 'circus on tracks.' Cue the memes, screams, and LOLs. A supposed eyewitness claimed the whole fiasco might have started with someone mistaking a lizard for a snake. Classic desi panic starter pack, right? Meanwhile, netizens played Sherlock Holmes trying to identify the station, with many guessing Sarojini Nagar, because of course, the drama capital of Delhi had to be involved. Not everyone's laughing though While some social media users had a field day cracking jokes, others pointed out that such scares in public transport are no laughing matter. One user noted the serious anxiety this could cause in a crowded space. And let's be honest, with rush hour already testing our limits, no one needs surprise snake sightings. Still no word from DMRC As of now, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has not dropped any official statement on the so-called slithering guest, although it does looks like a snake, and DMRC? It has ghosted harder than your last Hinge match.

A trendy beaded bag that'll have your bestie *~thinkin' pink~* for the rest of the summer as they sling it over their shoulder and brag about it to anyone willing to listen.

A stress relief coloring book from Coco Wyo (a TikTok famous brand known for creating the most adorable coloring books) featuring big, easy-to-color pictures they'll take one look at and want to scream, "THIS IS SO CUTE!!!!!" right before canceling their evening plans to spend it with their markers instead. Murdle, Volume 1, a compilation of murder mystery–themed logic puzzles that are reminiscent of the ever-popular Wordle game — perfect for cracking open poolside.

An Americana-themed tote bag for your pal with a Fourth of July birthday who loves nothing more than embracing a theme. Just watch out for Uncle Sam, because he'll be trying to snag this beauty for himself. A sand-free blanket designed so that sand (or dirt) rolls right off it — because is there anything worse than finding debris in every crevice of your car after lounging at the beach all day? It can fit four adults on it, folds up nice 'n' small, and will become your bestie's go-to for all of their summer hangs. Playful clips that are as practical as they are pretty — they'll hold their towel in place on their chair so they won't have to chase it across the pool deck and can focus on more important things like sipping on a margarita. A palm leaf print satin pajama set with a ruffled hemline on the shorts that'll make them feel put-together even if their only birthday plans include treating themselves to their favorite takeout on the couch, and the only person who will see them wearing them is their mom on FaceTime.

A neck reading light that's easy on the eyes, simpler to manage than a clip-on light, and a welcome addition to their nightly routine of falling asleep while reading a beachy romance novel. Speaking of romance novels, they'll love this deluxe edition of rom-com genius Emily Henry's Beach Read with endpapers and sprayed edges designed to look like a stunning sunset. Don't get me started on the shimmering, updated cover. Their bookshelf is going to BEG you to add this to their collection. And a personalized book stamp they can use to literally make their mark in the novels they typically loan out to fellow book club buds. A heart-shaped silicone ice cube tray for the summer bb in your life — spruce up their iced coffees and Long Island iced teas with a little love in the form of these cubes. 💕 Or a "float-tea unicorn," aka the reusable tea infuser of their wackiest dreams. When a summer storm rolls in to destroy their plans of lounging by the pool, they can nurse a cozy cup of tea alongside this festive friend until it passes.

A luggage drink caddy that'll attach to their wheeled luggage on the many summer adventures they've got lined up this season. They can use it to hold their Dunkin' coffee, phone, ID, etc., and prevent them from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport. And a retro-inspired high-cut one-piece to justify a coordinating Instagram grid–worthy photoshoot during your next beach trip together — this suit deserves recognition. A gold-plated station necklace from affordable (and fabulous) jewelry brand Pavoi, whose sole mission seems to be finding a way to glam up all of our looks without having to gobble up all of our dollars. Or a dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than 20 bucks! It's 14-karat gold-plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to their daily stack. Plus a splurge-worthy custom pave nameplate necklace you can personalize with the nickname you've been calling them since you bonded over a hatred for math in seventh grade. A lightweight tinted lip balm with a touch of gloss that'll be perfect for upgrading your bestie's makeup lineup — it'll add some color to their pout but keep it looking au natural. Plus, it's super similar to the viral Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm. Or a trio of ColourPop Lilo & Stitch lip glosses shaped like popsicles (can you EVENNNN?!) that'll provide their pout with a nonsticky, ultra-glossy sheen while also leaving it nice 'n' hydrated and honoring their fave movie. Each one is filled with nourishing elements like hyaluronic acid, Kakadu plum, and sweet cherry oil. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Hair & Body Perfume Mist, designed to channel the brand's ever-popular Cheirosa 62 but with a more woodsy vibe that's perhaps more fitting to their preference. It has delectable notes of sandalwood and vanilla orchid — so good they'll want to bask in their own scent all day. Or a bottle of Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume you know they'll adore since you were with them when they tried the sample size of YSL's Black Opium at the mall and fell in love with it but didn't have $95 to shell out. Luckily for them (and your wallet), this one is super similar and will leave you with enough money left to *also* treat both of you to lunch. Disney tumbler glasses featuring none other than Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck — they can fill 'em up with iced coffee, lemonade, or whatever other refreshing beverage they prefer to add some extra magic into their summer celebrations. And colorful Mickey Mouse–shaped melamine plates for the Disney Adult in your life who loves hosting outdoor watch parties of the classic '90s flicks (when they're not planning a trip to the parks, obvs). Double-buckle slides to replace the Birkenstocks they've worn so much they can feel the cement with each step they take. These are just as comfortable but come in more playful styles. A Vineyard Vines pullover featuring a super soft terrycloth material they'll want to live in during their entire East Coast summer. How cute is this going to look in their lobster roll selfies?! A luxurious jar of Ouai whipped body cream packed with cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and squalane to help soften their skin while moisturizing it. It'll be a nice upgrade to the likely expired one they've been using for *too* long. And a birthday card featuring a custom Taylor Swift Lego MiniFig any Swiftie and collector will adore — you might just find them plucking her right off the card and singing, "You are the best thing that's ever been mine!"

Getting Emotional With Holmes: ‘Sherlock & Daughter' Creator On His Take On The Iconic Sleuth
The creator of Sherlock & Daughter has broken down his take on Holmes, and it's an emotional one. 'Sherlock Holmes is classically an unemotional character in the stories, but he's also a big experimenter,' Brendan Foley said at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival. 'So, is it possible that just once in that great experimenter's life, he might have thought, what's all this human emotion stuff about?' More from Deadline Chace Crawford Had To Break Out Of "CW Pretty Boy Jail" After 'Gossip Girl' Jaz Sinclair Accepts Monte-Carlo TV Festival Award, Teases Darker Tone For Season 2 Of Prime Video's 'Gen V' Morris Chestnut Talks 'Watson' Season 2, Whether Matt Berry Will Appear On-Screen & Why He Wants Lucy Liu On The Show The emotion relates to David Thewlis' Holmes' relationship with Blu Hunt's character in the series, Amelia. The pair join forces on a case and it transpires Holmes may be her father. Dougray Scott, meanwhile, stars as Moriarty. Elaborating on the series' take on Holmes, Foley said: 'He is an absolutely classic Sherlock, but is also a 'lion in winter'. And then we're able to play with the other side, to bring in the younger audience, which is through Blu's character.' The 'lion in winter' reference means this version of Holmes is much more seasoned than several of the other recent takes on the sleuth. 'You think of recent Sherlocks, and they're all kind of wonderful, young and on the go, learning the ropes, and breaking the rules,' Foley said. 'Our Holmes has done it all. He's done every case. He's always 12 steps ahead of everybody else. He knows exactly what his lane is.' The series has fared well on The CW and HBO Max, which took second-window rights in the U.S. It is in HBO Max's top-ten rail and has been as high as fourth, and is The CW's top scripted series in linear. Starlings Entertainment produces the series with Albion Television and StoryFirst with James Duff (Major Crimes) the showrunner and executive producer. With numerous Sherlock projects in the works, as well as the scores that have gone before, Foley said no-one should go into a Holmes project lightly. 'It's effectively as genre, a sort of Holmes-iverse,' he said. 'It's a balancing act. You have to be true to the original stories and the spirit, but you also have to give people something new.' The CW has not yet made a call on a second season of the show. It has been selling well globally, with pre-sales including to Warner Bros. Discovery in the UK, NRK in Norway, SVT in Sweden and Amedia in the CIS region. Federation is distributing outside German-speaking territories where Palatin is across sales.

Watson Didn't Get Canceled, But It Suffered A Fate That Has Me Upset
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Even though CBS canceled a chunk of shows this year, there are still prime titles to look forward to for the 2025-26 season. That includes plenty of returning shows. Watson, the Morris Chestnut-led medical drama is among the series that managed to avoid the axe this spring amid the 2025 TV schedule and, as a fan, I'm very happy about that. However, what I'm not so pleased about is an update regarding when new episodes of the show will debut. CBS' schedule for next season reveals that Watson will not be back this fall and will instead be held for midseason in 2026. The show will still air on Sundays, but it will take over The Equalizer's slot at 10 p.m. ET, along with new Yellowstone spinoff Y: Marshals following Tracker. The wait is going to be excruciating for me, especially since the mystery series' first season ended with a major twist that saw the titular doctor murder enemy and Sherlock Holmes' killer James Moriarty. While speaking with Deadline, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach said she was still fairly confident the show will do well in its new timeslot, considering what it's being paired with: I'm fairly confident in Tracker and Y: Marshals being very, very big lead-ins for Watson. Watson does really, really well for us on streaming as well. So we expect that viewers who might not catch it at 10 o'clock will catch on streaming because it's had such a loyal fan base over on Paramount+. We think it's the best of both worlds. Despite the exec's confidence, I'm still not all that enthused about having to wait so long for new episodes. Sure, I understand the logic of holding the show as, during a given TV season, there are instances in which a show must be held for scheduling reasons. But having to wait until 2026 to see more of John Watson's story is just frustrating for me as a viewer. From a business standpoint, though, Reisenbach and co. are looking to ensure that interest in the show remains, and that method involves Paramount+ subscription holders: We'll definitely be pushing viewers to binge it on Paramount+ in the meantime. But there truly was a lack of room on the schedule. You look at that schedule, there's no other real logical place for it. Season 1 contains 13 episodes, and an official count has yet to be revealed for the second season. Based on past instances of midseason placings, I think it's possible that Watson could receive 18 episodes for Season 2, depending on when it's scheduled to premiere and how many breaks it has. For example, The Rookie and Will Trent on ABC will once again be airing midseason, and both shows and both put out 18 installments this year. Of course, this is a different network we're dealing with for Morris Chestnut's show. Paramount Plus: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearStream Watson on Paramount+ by grabbing the Essential plan. Or go ad-free and receive double the catalog with Showtime through the Premium plan, which starts from $12.99 per month. Also, get 12 months for the price of 10 with the annual Deal It was quite gutsy for the Craig Sweeny-created show to go out with that killer finale. On top of the big Moriarty twist, twins Adam and Stephens Croft were on the brink of death due to a targeted virus but, as per usual, the team -- although down two people -- was able to save them both. Season 2 will more than likely follow up on the traumatic experience that the Crofts went through and the aftermath of Moriarty's death. As some who's really into Watson, I'm hoping the wait for new episodes will be worth it. At the very least, though, I suppose that I should just be grateful that Watson is returning at all, given the others shows that met their demises this spring. This time of year can be brutal for avid TV fans, and I'm glad one of my favorite shows is still on the docket.
