“The Morning Show” is about to get a lot more louche.

Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons has joined the cast of Apple TV+’s hit drama series for Season 4, the streaming service announced Tuesday.

Irons will play Martin Levy, the father of Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston). According to TVLine, the character is described as “a charming, sharp, deep-thinking man with a sense of humor. And, in what has probably not been super fun for Alex her entire life, Martin pulls no emotional punches.” In other words, a perfect role for Jeremy Irons. He is expected to appear in approximately six episodes of Season 4.

Irons is the second Academy Award winner recently added to the cast of “The Morning Show;” Marion Cotillard is joining the series as a French businesswoman named Celine Dumont. Before Irons was cast, it was reported Oscar winner Kevin Kline had been approached for the part as well.

Michael Chernus will lead Peacock’s upcoming limited drama series, “Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy” as the harrowing serial killer.

“I’m both excited and humbled by this opportunity. The direction that the writers are taking with this project is important, focusing on the victims and their families as well as those who finally brought John Wayne Gacy to justice,” says Chernus. “While Gacy was the perpetrator of these horrific crimes, I’m relieved that he won’t be the main focus of the series. It’s heartbreaking for me to think of what his victims (all young men and boys) could have done with their lives had the system not failed them so tragically. I believe in the power of storytelling and hope that by telling this story, in a thoughtful way, we can play some part in preventing this from ever happening again.”

A “300” TV series adaptation is in early development at Warner Bros. Television, Variety has learned from sources.

Exact plot details are still being worked out, but sources say that the show would serve as a prequel to the 2006 film. No writer or platform is currently attached to the project.

Deals are still being negotiated, but Zack Snyder, who directed and co-wrote “300,” is in talks to direct and executive produce the series. Deborah Snyder, who executive produced “300,” would also return as an executive producer under her and Zack’s Stone Quarry production banner, with Stone Quarry’s Wesley Coller also on board. Gianni Nunnari, Mark Canton, and Bernie Goldmann — all of whom were producers on the film — are likewise in talks to return.

Reps for Wbtv declined to comment.

“300” was based on the graphic novel of the same name by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, which was...

David Cronenberg always makes personal cinema, whether telepodding Jeff Goldblum into a human-sized pest in “The Fly” or asking James Spader to fuck a gaping flesh wound in “Crash.” The Canadian filmmaker will never tell you what makes his body horror classics so close to home, but he doesn’t feel it should matter to viewers anyway.

“For an average audience, they shouldn’t have to know that,” Cronenberg, behind oversized Saint Laurent sunglasses, told IndieWire at Cannes on a windy day atop the Jw Marriott. “They shouldn’t have to know that it has any basis in my reality at all. The movie has to stand on its own, and you can’t expect the audience to give you credit because it’s really happened to you.”

But his latest film “The Shrouds,” his seventh to compete for the Palme d’Or at Cannes and a co-production of fashion house Saint Laurent,...

The body, as any fan of David Cronenberg’s cinema knows, will betray you. Canada’s greatest gift to genre film has spent half a century exploring how treacherous the human organism can be. How our frail frames can be infected, mutated or corrupted by outside invasion — see Rabid, Shivers or The Fly — or by internal disruption, be it mental illness (Spider), addiction (Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch) or destructive desire (Crash). And technology, be it the VHS implants in Videodrome, the virtual reality of eXistenZ or the body enhancements of Crimes of the Future, will not save us, says Cronenberg, from the way of all flesh.

The body’s final betrayal, of course, is death, the subject of Cronenberg’s new film. The Shrouds, which will premiere May 20 in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, stars Vincent Cassel as Karsh, a businessman overwhelmed with grief at the death of his...

Variety has earned its third Daytime Emmy nomination for the “Actors on Actors” series, with the first coming in 2019.

The PBS SoCal series pairs up actors for candid discussions about their recent work and thoughts on the entertainment industry. The nominated season features interviews with actors discussing their television projects including Emily Blunt (“The English”) with Brian Cox (“Succession”), Taron Egerton (“Black Bird”) with Rachel Weisz (“Dead Ringers”), Elle Fanning (“The Great”) with Jenna Ortega (“Wednesday”), Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us”) with Steven Yeun (“Beef”), Melanie Lynskey (“Yellowjackets”) with Natasha Lyonne (“Poker Face”), Kieran Culkin (“Succession”) with Claire Danes (“Fleishman Is in Trouble”), Jennifer Garner (“The Last Thing He Told Me”) with Sheryl Lee Ralph (“Abbott Elementary”), Brett Goldstein (“Ted Lasso”) with Theo James (“The White Lotus”), Katherine Heigl (“Firefly Lane”) with Ellen Pompeo (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Jennifer Coolidge (“The White Lotus”) with Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear”), Jason Segel...

Sydney Sweeney isn’t letting anyone keep her down. Yesterday, representatives for the “Immaculate” and “Madame Web” actress hit back at film producer Carol Baum for criticizing her appearance and disparaging remarks about her ability to act.

Following a public screening of the 1988 horror film “Dead Ringers,” which she produced, Baum spoke with Janet Maslin of the New York Times and randomly threw barbs at the “Euphoria” star.

There’s something about a doppelganger that feels uniquely cinematic. A person who looks like you, thinks like you, and maybe even lives like you has always been a subject of fascination and dread in literature and philosophy, a concept that raises questions about individuality and the collective. But on the screen, seeing the effect of one person mimicked and duplicated proves all the more uncanny and unnerving. Science fiction, horror, and a multitude of other genres have used duality as a means to terrify, unsettle, and provoke.

And then, of course, there’s the acting challenge. For an experienced actor or an up-and-comer alike, playing dual roles is the ultimate flex, a way to show your range in a single project. Whether playing twins or identical strangers, an actor who takes on a dual role has to manage the trick of being both an individual and a duo, of...

Fallout is poised to come back with a bang, now that Prime Video’s video game adaptation has been renewed for Season 2.

The news comes just over a week after Season 1’s eight-episode release, which in its first four days, Prime Video claims, emerged as one of the service’s top three most-watched titles ever — and the most-watched season globally since Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Sydney Sweeney responds to producer's criticism as "sad," calls out attacking another woman. Baum's negative comments on Sweeney are seen as particularly harsh. Despite recent criticism, Sweeney's career is on an upward trajectory, with successful projects.

Sydney Sweeney reacts to a producer who said she “can’t act” and called a key film of hers “unwatchable.” Sweeney is a two-time Emmy-nominated actress, recognized for her work in Euphoria and The White Lotus. While most iconically known for playing the role of Cassie on Euphoria, she most recently played the lead role in the horror film Immaculate.

As per Variety, Sweeney offers her response to recent criticism. Sweeney found the comments from the producer “sad” in that “a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman.” After this producer had “decades” in the industry, Sweeney felt her behavior was “shameful.” Check out...

Sydney Sweeney caught a stray last week when veteran Hollywood producer Carol Baum said at an event that Sweeney is “not pretty” and “can’t act” — and that her hit rom-com “Anyone but You” was “unwatchable.”

A representative for Sweeney has now fired back at Baum, saying in a statement shared with Variety: “How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman. If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students, that’s shameful. To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms. Baum’s character.”

Baum, a longtime Hollywood producer and executive behind films including “Dead Ringers,” “Father of the Bride” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” made the disparaging comments about Sweeney during a discussion in Pleasantville, N.Y., with New York Times film critic Janet Maslin.

Sydney Sweeney‘s rep is speaking out in response to some comments made about the actress.

Hollywood producer Carol Baum recently shared some not so pleasant thoughts about the 26-year-old actress’ looks and her acting skills at a screening of her movie Dead Ringers.

“She’s not pretty, she can’t act,” she said. “I don’t get Sydney Sweeney.”

Carol also commented how she watched Anyone But You on a plane.

“I was watching on the plane Sydney Sweeney‘s movie because I wanted to watch it,” she said. “I wanted to know who she is and why everybody’s talking about her. I watched this unwatchable movie- sorry to people who love this movie – [this] romantic comedy where they hate each other.”

Madame Web star Sydney Sweeney is a hugely in-demand actress right now, but one top producer doesn’t understand the hype. Carol Baum, who served as executive producer on films such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Father of the Bride, slammed the White Lotus actress during a discussion after a screening of her 1988 film Dead Ringers. According to the Daily Mail, Baum said she “didn’t get” Sweeney, who rose to fame playing Cassie Howard on HBO’s hit teen drama Euphoria and has gone on to star in films such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Voyeurs, Reality, Anyone But You, and Immaculate. “I was watching on the plane Sydney Sweeney’s movie because I wanted to watch it,” Baum continued, referring to Will Gluck’s 2024 romantic comedy Anyone But You. “I wanted to know who she is and why everybody’s talking about her.” She added,...

David Cronenberg’s new film The Shrouds has scored its release date. An auteur of the body horror genre, Cronenberg is best known for his work on films such as The Fly and Dead Ringers. The Shrouds is his most current work, which follows the story of a widower and businessman named Karsh who builds a new device that can connect people with the dead inside a burial shroud.

Now, Festival de Cannes has announced their selection of The Shrouds, giving the film a premiere. Check out the post below:

Sue Naegle and Ali Krug are re-teaming for a new venture.

The former Annapurna duo and longtime collaborators have launched Dinner Party Productions and signed a multiple-year overall deal with Universal Content Productions.

Naegle, the former content chief at Megan Ellison’s company, and Krug, who was co-head of TV alongside her at Annapurna, will develop and produce new projects for UCP for both NBCUniversal-owned platforms as well as third-party buyers.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Naegle and Krug — who have worked together for 13 years — said the appeal of being able to sell to outside buyers was part of why they wanted to sign with the Beatrice Springborn-led division that is housed within Pearlena Igbokwe’s Universal Studio Group. (Read the Q&a, below.)

As part of the pact, Naegle and Krug have boarded Peacock’s adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s New York Times best-seller The Five-Star Weekend.

Then what about Oscar winner Rachel Weisz playing dual roles in a miniseries from last April? Anyone? Anyone?

Fremantle is getting into the Rachel Weisz business.

The international production powerhouse has signed a first-look and development deal with Astral Projection, the production company run by the Oscar-winning actress and her Dead Ringers producer Polly Stokes.

The three-year deal will see Fremantle become the primary home for all of Astral Projection’s TV and film projects. Astral will work closely with Fremantle’s Global Drama division under Global Drama CEO Christian Vesper and COO Seb Shorr, as well as its international distribution team.

“We are thrilled to have found such experienced and trusting partners in Fremantle,” said Weisz in a statement. “As soon as we met Christian and Seb, we knew they were a perfect fit for our taste and energy and that this would be a brilliant home for Astral.”

Added Stokes: “We want to tell stories that are surprising and affirming — that find joy in unexpected and daring places.

Astral Projection, the production company set up by Oscar winner Rachel Weisz and British executive producer Polly Stokes has signed a new first-look and development deal with Fremantle.

The three-year deal will see Fremantle become the primary home for all TV and film projects for Astral Projection, which co-produced “Dead Ringers,” Amazon’s six-part psychological thriller in which Weisz played both lead roles in a gender-swapped reimagining of the 1988 David Cronenberg film. Stokes, a former creative executive at Film4, and Weisz have a long-standing relationship and are building a slate of projects with Rebecca Servadio as Astral’s literary consultant.

The deal was spearheaded by Fremantle CEO of global drama Christian Vesper and COO of global drama Seb Shorr. It was negotiated by Fran Denny, Fremantle’s VP legal and business affairs of global drama, and James Kay and Jessica Hudson for Sheridans on behalf of Astral Projection.

Peacock’s upcoming limited series adaptation of “Long Bright River” starring Amanda Seyfried has added six to its cast in recurring roles.

Dash Mihok, Britne Oldford, Matthew Del Negro, Harriet Sansom Harris, Patch Darragh, and Perry Mattfeld have all joined the series.

They will appear alongside Seyfried and previously announced cast members Nicholas Pinnock, Ashleigh Cummings, Callum Vinson and John Doman.

Based on the book of the same name by Liz Moore, the series is described as a suspense thriller that tells the story of “Mickey (Seyfried), a police officer who patrols a Philadelphia neighborhood hard-hit by the opioid crisis. When a series of murders begins in the neighborhood, Mickey realizes that her personal history might be related to the case.”

Mihok will recur as Eddie, while Oldford will play Aura. Del Negro will play Simon, with Sansom Harris as Mrs. Mahon, Darragh as Sergeant Kevin Ahearn, and Mattfield as Paula.

Nikki Toscano and Liz Moore are writing and exec producing, with Toscano serving as showrunner.

Exclusive: Artists First has signed actress Brittany Bradford (Julia), as well as actress, comedian and digital creator Amanda McCants for management.

Bradford is coming off a two-season run on Max’s dramedy Julia, starring Sarah Lancashire as chef and television personality Julia Child, which came to an end in December. Created by Daniel Goldfarb, the show had her playing Alice Naman, an associate producer at broadcaster Wgbh who champions Child’s cooking show The French Chef.

Previously, Bradford has also been seen on series including Fire Country, Fear the Walking Dead, New Amsterdam, The Watcher, Prime Video’s Dead Ringers opposite Rachel Weisz, and Max’s The Gilded Age.

“Outer Banks” Season 4 has added five new cast members, Variety has learned.

J. Anthony Crane, Pollyanna McIntosh, Brianna Brown, Rigo Sanchez, and Mia Challis have all joined the popular adventure drama series in recurring guest star roles.

Full character descriptions can be found below.

They join series stars like Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Carlacia Grant, Rudy Pankow, Austin North, and Drew Starkey in Season 4.

The official description for the series states, “‘Outer Banks’ is a coming of age story that follows the tight-knit group of Pogues as they navigate a chain of illicit events filled with mystery, adventure, a high-stakes treasure hunt and the escalating conflict with their rivals.”

“Outer Banks” originally debuted in 2020 and proved to be a major hit for Netflix. Per the streamer, Season 3 of the series spent six weeks on the global Top 10 English TV list and reached the Top 10 charts in 77 countries.

One of the most acclaimed movies of 2023 is coming home: A24 has announced that "The Iron Claw" will be available on Blu-ray and DVD next month. But for those who aren't committed to picking up a physical copy of the film, it is also available to rent on VOD from a variety of digital retailers right now. So there are plenty of options, with even more on the way in the coming months (we'll get to that in a moment).

A24's wrestling drama about the Von Erichs "The Iron Claw" (read /Film's review here) is currently available to rent from retailers such as Apple TV+, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube, among others. It is priced at $19.99 for a 48-hour rental, which is the standard premium VOD price that studios began running with a few years ago. That price typically drops several weeks after the initial Digital release date.

Super Bowl commercials aren't just movie trailers -- it's also the time of year when far less flashy brands pay the big bucks to get stars in their ads, ones that all of America will see. Sometimes, those ads can get pretty wild.

This year, we got one from State Farm Insurance featuring the talents of former bodybuilder and Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger (who's also starred in a few movies you may have heard of). The ad is titled "Like A Good Neighbaaa," referencing both State Farm's company slogan and Arnold's famous Austrian accent. And that pronunciation difference is the keystone of the ad.

Arnold, in a red State Farm shirt, rushes out of a burning house (which explodes behind him) carrying two dogs to safety. "Agent State Farm" is initially shown only from the shoulders down, but his face is revealed once he recites the company slogan.

As a horror fan, I was delighted that 2023 not only delivered some top-notch genre films but also that there were enough directed by women to create a 10 best list. Women created a diverse array of horror from psychological thrillers to over-the-top gore comedy to creature features. They looked beyond just final girls to create fascinating, flawed, and sometimes deeply disturbed characters.

I measure progress not by how many positive female characters we get on screen but rather by the diversity and depth of the women driving the stories we see. Kudos to the female talent in front of and behind the camera that created these bold, original works in 2023.

Shiv Roy may have had to reach for her superior’s hand at the end of “Succession,” but Sarah Snook only extended her arm Monday night to receive her trophy. The Australian actor won the Primetime Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, marking her first victory overall.

Previously, Snook had been nominated twice for playing the ruthless political consultant turned aspiring Waystar Royco CEO. Both nods came in the Supporting Actress category, but she — along with her onscreen sibling, Kieran Culkin — moved to the Lead categories for “Succession’s” final season.

Snook triumphed in a stacked category. Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) has 15 Emmy nominations throughout her career, and she’s won twice. Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”) is a four-time nominee who many consider long overdue for a win herself. This is Sharon Horgan’s first acting nomination at the Emmys, but she’s also nominated for writing this year,...

Heading into the 2024 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 7, “Succession” was the show to beat as it scored a record nine nominations — more than any other television show in history. Some of the other top nominees on the TV side were “The Bear” and “Only Murders in the Building” with five noms apiece, and “The Crown” with four bids. But which shows ended up being the big winners during the three-hour ceremony?

Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actress was the first TV category handed out this year, and it went to Ali Wong (“Beef”), who is also predicted to prevail at next week’s Emmys. She beat out Riley Keough (“Daisy Jones & the Six”), Brie Larson (“Lessons in Chemistry”), Elizabeth Olson (“Love and Death”), Juno Temple (“Fargo”) and Rachel Weisz (“Dead Ringers”).

Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actor was up next, with Wong’s co-star Steven Yeun (“Beef”) winning, which...

The fictional Roy family may not have been filled with winners, but “Succession” continues to produce awards season champions. Sarah Snook won the 2024 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, making it the second consecutive victory for the Australian actor who played Shiv Roy. Snook also won in 2022, for the series’ third season, before going out on top for the final season in 2024.

Snook triumphed over stiff competition. Also nominated were Helen Mirren, who’s racked up 17 nominations(!) and won three times; Emma Stone, an eight-time nominee and 2017 winner for “La La Land”; Keri Russell, who snagged her fourth nomination this year after winning for “Felicity” in 1999; Imelda Staunton, a three-time nominee, and Bella Ramsey, who earned her first nomination this year for “The Last of Us.”

Snook is amassing quite a trophy collection. In addition to her two Golden Globes, she’s won a Screen...

jjjmoss13: So, zero actual TV comedies will be winning a trophy tonight.

Every year, some breakout names emerge victorious at various awards groups on just their first nominations. Last year, Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan won Golden Globes for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” while Austin Butler also won on his first bid, for “Elvis.” This year, several performers are in with a good chance of following in these performers’ footsteps and triumphing on their first nominations, too. Here are the most likely to win.

Lily Gladstone — “Killers of the Flower Moon”

Lily Gladstone stars in Apple Original Films’ “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which tells the true story of the murders of Osage tribe members in the south of the USA in the 1920s. Gladstone demonstrates quiet power and searing intelligence in her heartbreaking role as Mollie Burkhart, who is one of the victims of the plan concocted by her husband (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his uncle (Robert De Niro).

FX’s “Fargo” is facing some tough competition at the Golden Globes this year in the form of Netflix’s “Beef.” Noah Hawley‘s anthology limited series follows a different cast and storyline every season with the latest installment, the fifth season, featuring the likes of Jon Hamm, Juno Temple, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. This story follows a kidnapping gone wrong that leads to implications for many.

This season has fared well, garnering three Golden Globe nominations: Best Limited Series/TV Movie, Best Limited Series/TV Movie Actor for Hamm, and Best Limited Series/TV Movie Actress for Temple. These two acting bids add to the Golden Globes history of “Fargo,” which has often done well in snagging nominations for its cast. Here’s the breakdown.

The first season saw Billy Bob Thornton win Best Limited Series/TV Movie in 2015 while co-star Martin Freeman was also nominated in the same category.

2023 was another great year for television. Despite streaming beginning to show some wear and tear and the delays caused by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, we got a ton of new series and returning favorites over the last twelve months. We could barely watch everything from event series to revivals, comedies, dramas, and genre offerings. With hundreds of shows to choose from and thousands of hours of programming, here is our list of the best TV shows of 2023.

Being the entertainment gluttons that we are, we put together a nice video of the Top 10 series of the year, while the full-text list of the 25 best is ranked below.

Sean Durkin’s “The Iron Claw” is less Christmas crowdpleaser than family downer, but this skillfully directed portrait of the tragic rise, fall, and resurrection of the Von Erich wrestling family dynasty should be a holiday hit for A24. Its stacked cast includes a Hollywood favorite with a beloved risen-from-the-ashes story of his own (Zac Efron), at least one super hot name right now (Jeremy Allen White), and a fast-rising indie darling on his way to becoming a household name (Harris Dickinson).

They, along with newcomer Stanley Simons, play the quartet of Von Erich brothers beset by misfortune and heroic episodes of prevailing throughout their 1980s wrestling careers, under the controlling clutch of their father’s (Holt McCallany) merciless management style and cruel kind of love. Maura Tierney, meanwhile, plays their mother as a woman numbed by grief amid the successive self-inflicted deaths of her children. To this day, Kevin Von Erich...

As someone who grew up a fan of wrestling but had little knowledge of the pre-WWE generations, including the legendary Von Erich family, I was certainly interested in what a biographical film based on this family could add to my enjoyment of the entertainment sport. I also had never seen any of director Sean Durkin's previous films before watching The Iron Claw, so for me personally, the main draws were definitely the subject matter and cast, who will undoubtedly get some sort of recognition & accolades during the awards season this year. One of the film's most resonant themes is the exploration of how passion can transform into an unhealthy obsession, even more so when passed down through generations and driven by the overwhelming weight of rigid parenting. // Continue Reading ›...

Jennifer Ehle has been cast in Jaclyn Bethany’s queer indie drama “In Transit.”

Written by Alex Sarrigeorgiou, the Maine-set feature tells the story of a small town bartender called Lucy who agrees to model for painter Ilse – played by Ehle – who is existentially floundering as she seeks solitude away from her career and complicated personal life while on an artists retreat.

“Through their relationship, both women must confront their preconceptions of what makes a good life,” reads the logline.

Sarrigeorgiou will play Lucy while Francois Arnaud (“Yellowjackets”) is set to play Lucy’s boyfriend Tom, a local chef.

The film goes into production this month with principal photography commencing in Damariscotta, Maine before moving to New York City in February.

Marin Hope cast the project.

Emmy nominee Bethany (“Tell That to the Winter Sea”) directs and produces for Bke Productions alongside C.C. Kellogg of Valmora Productions, Sarrigeorgiou for Little Language Films and Sarah Keyes.

Clockwise: Poppy Liu (T. Fallon/Getty Images), Abbi Jacobson (Ryan Pfluger), Linda Cardellini (Netflix), Luke Wilson (Sam Jones), and Teyonah Parris (Jacob Webster)

Linda Cardellini will be reuniting with Dead to Me creator and executive producer Liz Feldman for Netflix’s No Good Deeds, a dark comedy starring Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow. The streaming service also announced Luke Wilson (Fingernails), Teyonah Parris (The Marvels), Abbi Jacobson (A League of Their Own), and Poppy Liu (Dead Ringers) have signed to the series.

Feldman is the eight-episode first-season showrunner and executive produces with Christie Smith, Silver Tree, and Gloria Sanchez Productions’ Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum. Silver Tree is directing multiple episodes including the pilot.

Netflix offered this description of the series and characters:

“No Good Deed is a half-hour, dark comedy that follows three very different families vying to buy the very same 1920s Spanish-style villa that they think will solve all their problems.

From the heavenly heights of Bowen Yang as God in “Dicks: The Musical” to Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri beating the hell out of each other for “Bottoms,” 2023 was a near-biblical year for queer entertainment. Sure, LGBTQ film and TV had its fair share of sins — what with the “Red, White, and Royal Blue” butt prep scene and “Saltburn” bathtub of it all. Not to mention, we lost a handful of beloved TV series with the cancelations of “A League of Their Own” and the full-blown streaming removal of “The L Word: Generation Q” (among others). But all things created equal, it was a pretty fantastic year to be queer in Hollywood, with a slew of great new titles arriving in theaters and across platforms as diverse voices continued to break through to LGBTQ audiences.

The aforementioned song-and-dance/raunchy sex comedies were just the tip of the iceberg on a...

“Succession” made sure to make history on it’s way out, earning a record-breaking nine nominations at the 2024 Golden Globes for its farewell season. Those final nominations helped HBO score 17 overall, the most of any network at the 81st ceremony; the network netted 16 nominations and its streaming service Max landed one. It won a neck-and-neck race with Netflix, which earned 15 total, with Apple TV+ just missing out on double digits with nine.

In addition to those nine “Succession” nominations, HBO had success with its other drama series “The Last of Us,” which earned three bids. “The Crown,” “Beef,” and “The Diplomat” led the way for Netflix, which also got a boost by dominating the new Stand-Up Comedian on Television category with five bids out of the six total slots. “Ted Lasso,” “The Morning Show,” and “Lessons in Chemistry” all contributed to the Apple TV+ tally.

The Crown made Golden Globes history this morning on a good day for stars from across the pond.

Netflix’s royal saga became the first show to have been nominated for Best Television Series – Drama for each of its seasons, with the latest nom seeing it come up against the likes of 1923, The Last of Us and Succession when the ceremony takes place on January 7.

With the final set of episodes of The Crown about to drop, the sometimes controversial but always popular Netflix smash is having a bit of a moment, and EP Suzanne Mackie described the Globes record as an “absolute honor and a privilege.”

As we close in on the 2024 Golden Globe nominations, we’re predicting that, for the first time in its four-season history, HBO’s “Succession” will dominate on the TV side. Our official odds have the recently concluded drama series reaping a whopping six bids, matching the incredible single-year showings of just two other post-2010 programs: “Big Little Lies” (2018) and “The Crown” (2021).

In a close second (and leading the comedy pack) is Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” with five expected mentions. We’re anticipating four bids apiece for the laffers “Abbott Elementary,” “The Bear,” and “Ted Lasso” as well as for period drama “The Crown” on its sixth and final outing.

Among telefilms and limited series, we forecast a good morning for “Beef” and “Daisy Jones & the Six,” each of which are poised to compete in three categories. Also tipped to pull off a triple play are continuing...

The 2024 Golden Globes nominations will be announced on Monday, December 11. The winners will be revealed in a ceremony on CBS on January 7, 2024. We’ve been busy canvassing industry insiders plus our own in-house team of editors, the readers who did the best last year (Top 24) and for the past two years (All-Stars) plus thousands of readers for their predictions.

We’ve combined these into official racetrack odds. Scroll down to see the full line-up on the TV side with our projected winners highlighted in gold. Reflecting two major Golden Globes rule changes, each category includes six predicted nominees rather than the usual five, and the supporting races are back to only being divided by gender after having also been separated by format (comedy/drama series; TV movie/limited series) in 2023.

"Woo! Now you're flyin', boy!" A24 has revealed the official trailer for the film The Iron Claw, directed by Sean Durkin. Critics have been raving about this, set to open soon this month. The film is about the family of wrestlers, the Von Erich family, and their legacy as they popularized wrestling helping make it a big success. The film is centered around this Texas family, a dynasty of wrestlers from the 1960s onwards that had enormous success, and popularized the iron claw professional wrestling hold. However, they not only had to battle inside of the ring, but also fight the "Von Erich curse" outside of it. This stars Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson as Kevin, Kerry and David Von Erich, respectively. The film's cast also includes Maura Tierney, Holt McCallany, Stanley Simons, Brady Pierce, and Lily James, plus a few real wrestlers including Ryan Nemeth. This featurette...

We’re well into the so-called post-Peak TV era. Tightening budgets and consolidating streaming platforms suggest an uncertain future for the medium. With the exception of new staples like The Last of Us and Poker Face, many of the best television shows of 2023 wrapped things up with their final seasons or had only limited runs. And due to the Hollywood strikes, the TV landscape could look quite different by this time next year.

Yet, Succession and Barry have proven that there remains room for complex narratives skewering American lust for power and unaccountability, while comedies like The Great, I Think You Should Leave, and I’m a Virgo bent the boundaries of the form with gonzo vigor. And new animated shows like Genndy Tartakovsky’s Unicorn: Warriors Eternal and Max’s Scavengers Reign bring a sense of fantastical wonder that’s generally lacking in more terrestrial series. So while things...
