Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sleeper hit Bad Moms is being turned into as franchise following its unprecedented box office success earlier this summer.

The naughty mothers of the title will return as early as 2017 with a Christmas-set sequel set to reunite original stars Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn.

There are no words on who will play the older generation but expect some big names to be announced over the coming months.

News of Bad Moms Christmas arrives soon after it was announced that spin-off Bad Dads would be released by STX Entertainment next July.

The distributor - who steered the original to an impressive £147 million - said it "...has chosen to focus on extending consumer passion for the Bad Moms brand with a series of film spin-offs, a reality television show, short form digital content, and a robust consumer products program.”

Seems we'll be being spoon-fed a lot of Bad Moms content over the coming years.

Writer/directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore will be back for Bad Moms Christmas but it's unknown whether Christina Applegate or Jada Pinkett-Smith will be back for more.
