Josh Brolinis parting ways with his rustic Georgia estate.

TheDuneactor, 58, has listed his traditional-style home in Sandy Springs, Ga., for just under $5 million. The property, which he shares with wifeKathryn Boyd Brolin, 38, is located in the suburbs just outside Atlanta.

The home is a “beautifully maintained treasure,” according to the property'slistingagent Jacob Bean.

“It's a charming 'one-of-one' property that manages to feel like a private resort while remaining incredibly approachable,” he tells PEOPLE in an emailed statement. “The Brolins poured so much love into the curation of this estate, and the result is a beautiful compound that has quite literally been the preferred home-away-from-home for Hollywood's elite while filming in Georgia.”

Inside the property's main house, there's a large foyer surrounded by the formal dining room and a lounge perfect for hosting. Elsewhere is a two-story living room with a fireplace and a gourmet chef's kitchen with a large center island, casual seating and an eat-in space.

Occupying its own wing at the rear of the main house is an “oversized primary sanctuary,” according to the listing. It features vaulted ceilings and a private lounge area that connects directly to the back porch.

A grand staircase leads to the second level, which offers three bedrooms, each with their own ensuite bathrooms. A walkway connecting the upper level overlooks the vaulted living room below.

Downstairs, the lower level has a dedicated space for entertaining and wellness. A large secondary living room opens to the outside patio. There is another bedroom with an ensuite bathroom as well as a “state-of-the-art” home cinema and a professional-grade gym with a custom sauna and cold plunge.

Outside, a large heated gunite pool offers a hot tub, two waterfalls and a custom jumping rock.  Beyond the pool is a set of stairs that lead to an expansive green lawn with a hidden park set back in a canopy of trees.

The property also includes a detached two-story guest suite complete with a living room, dining room and full kitchen. The unit also has a vaulted primary bedroom with its own covered porch.

“In the Atlanta luxury market, privacy is the ultimate currency. This estate has served as a discreet haven for some of the biggest names in the film industry, and for good reason,” Bean adds. “Between the secluded location and the compound-style layout, it offers a level of security and serenity that makes it a turn-key solution for high-profile residents who need to disappear from the world while staying in the heart of the city.”

“Saved by the Bell” crew member claims Dustin Diamond pulled a knife on spinoff costar

Scott DeVaney, a production assistant on Saved by the Bell: The New Class, alleges that Dustin Diamond threatened one of his costars with a knife while filming promo for the spinoff.

Key Points

• DeVaney, Dustin's father Mark Diamond, and Saved by the Bell cast member Ed Alonzo all speak to Dustin's erratic mental state at the time on the new episode of ID's Hollywood Demons.

• "Eventually it ends up, Dustin didn't try to strike him with the knife," DeVaney claims. "It ends up with him in tears, and he runs off."

A lot went on behind the scenes ofSaved by the Bellthat would shock fans of the beloved teen sitcom. And apparently, even more happened when the cameras weren't rolling on its spinoff,Saved by the Bell: The New Class.

"I was there when Screech,Dustin Diamond, returned to that fold. To be honest, it was pretty bananas from the jump," according to Scott DeVaney, a production assistant on the spinoff. DeVaney and several others involved with the series, its famous predecessor, that classic's obscure progenitor,Good Morning, Miss Bliss, and more opened up about dark goings-on that haunted each production on "After the Bell," the latest episode of Investigation Discovery'sHollywood Demons.

"You'd walk in the dressing room and immediately it was a little odd. He had pictures of knives and guns in his dressing room," DeVaney claimed on the episode, which premiered on Monday. But according to the former PA, Diamond's attachment to such weapons ran even deeper.

"He came off the big hit,Saved by the Bell, but he's still an insecure teenager at the time, and he comes in wanting to present, 'I'm the big boss. I've got the gravitas. I'm really the star of this show,'" DeVaney speculated. "I saw him treat a lot of people poorly, to be clear."

Saved by the Bell: The New Classimmediately followedSaved by the Bell's bow in 1993 and ran for seven seasons. Diamond was the only original cast member to return, and was joined by an ensemble that included Isaac Lidsky, Bianca Lawson, Dennis Haskins, Sarah Lancaster, and Jonathan Angel. DeVaney recalled one particular promo shoot where "there was an argument between Dustin Diamond and a cast member. I cant remember what started it exactly, but here's Dustin Diamond saying, 'I could have you fired!'"

Things escalated quickly, according to DeVaney. "It led to Dustin pulling out a butterfly knife. It was a very physically threatening thing. So everybody's trying to say, 'Back off, everybody cool down.' Eventually it ends up, Dustin didn't try to strike him with the knife. It ends up with him in tears, and he runs off."

Two important Marks in Diamond's life were able to provide context to the shocking allegation. Mark Bridge, Diamond's childhood friend, recalled that "Dustin did like to carry a pocket knife. We were friends from before he was on a national stage, and he liked the Chinese stars, the samurai swords, the knives."

Mark Diamond, Dustin's father, explained that Dustin had already endured a considerable amount of hardship in his young life, but at that particular time, he was facing something even worse.

"They told me that there was something that happened on the set, and Dustin threatened somebody. I went to a taping [the] next week, and we sat down and talked to him," Mark shared. "A lot of people don't realize he was dealing with hard things. He'd already lost his brother. Now, Dustin's mother, she had been diagnosed with cancer, and she went downhill pretty quickly, and Dustin saw all that happening."

Indeed, Dustin lost his mother, Jaimee Diamond, in 1996. He was 19 at the time, and when he was only six, he lost his older brother Ryan, who was born with Down syndrome and a congenital heart disease.

Though Dustin's family and friends remember him taking to the role of Samuel "Screech" Powers with glee, the consequence of spending his entire childhood and adolesence on studio sets meant that "he missed out going to proms, to the football games on the weekend, and so he was never able to branch out and make friends in the real world," said Ed Alonzo, Dustin'sSaved by the Bellcastmate.

Later in his life, Dustinpublicly apologizedfor his on-set behavior — not to hisNew Classcostars, but to his originalSaved by the Bellcostars — after a memoir he claimed was ghostwritten without his participation alleged all manner of torrid intra-cast behavior behind the scenes.

"This is my best weapon for repairing the damage that was caused by things that were done by people who took advantage of me and the situation I was in at the time," Dustin, who died in 2021, shared in a 2016 interview. "Guys, I think you're fantastic, working with you has been just one of the icons of my life and I'm sorry that this has taken advantage of me — the book and other situations I'm sure we'll talk about here. But I'm sure that you've experienced downfalls, as well, in your time and I'm still loving you guys."

"After the Bell" premiered Monday, May 4 on ID. New episodes ofHollywood Demonspremiere weekly, with episodes available to stream on HBO Max.

Oprah’s new book club pick made her feel ‘transported.’ What did she choose?

Oprah Winfrey’slatestbook club pickis a new novel from a beloved literary voice.

Winfrey chose“John of John”by Douglas Stuart, theNational Book Award-nominated authorof “Shuggie Bain” and “Young Mungo.” “John of John” traces a complex father-son relationship against the backdrop of a small textile and farming town on a northern Scottish isle.

“I felt transported,” Winfrey said in a statement. “I could feel every aspect of this remote community where tradition and judgment quietly shaped everyone’s life. Douglas Stuart brilliantly weaved a layered, compelling and yet so intimate a story of identity, what it means to belong, and the courage to claim your own truth.”

Oprah’s Book Club pick for May: ‘John of John’ by Douglas Stuart

“John of John,” one ofUSA TODAY’s most anticipated booksof 2026, follows a young, broke graduate as he returns from art school to his hometown. John-Calum Macleod must weather the disappointed eye of his sheep farmer and devoutly religious father, who is distressed by how his son has changed and grown into himself in college.

Winfrey calls the novel a "complex and compelling tale that ultimately showcases the transformational power of love in a hostile and judgmental world."

Stuart pulls from his own background as a fashion designer to create the textile community and art student protagonist in “John of John.” This novel continues to explore the parent-child dynamics Stuart dug into in “Shuggie Bain” and “Young Mungo.” His books often interrogate how expectations in small, conservative hometowns can be at odds with his protagonists’ gender and sexuality.

“The phone call from Oprah telling me she loved my book and wanted to share it with her book club will always be one of the greatest, and most surreal, calls of my life,” Stuart wrote in a statement. “What an incredible honor. I grew up in a home without books but we always loved stories and storytelling. Oprah's was the first book club I saw on television, the first to say that books are for everyone and that everyone is welcome. For three decades she has been bringing writers and readers together and I can’t express how thrilling and humbling it is to become a small part of that legacy.”
