He’s back: The Vince Staples Show has been renewed for a second season.
Here’s Vince Staples’ exclusive statement on the renewal to Tudum.com: “The Vince Staples Show is back! The people have spoken and the most riveting, captivating, and polarizing show on Netflix is returning for Season 2. Get ready for hijinks that only a mother can love. Thank you, Netflix!”
Created by Staples and executive produced by Kenya Barris, the first, five-episode installment is often funny, sometimes emotional, and always thought-provoking. Each story is a slice-of-life tale told through a satirical lens and, as Staples told Tudum when the show premiered, there’s plenty of opportunity to expand.
“There are 365 days in a year, so we’re able to have 365 episodes of this thing because they’re all based on what it’s like to just exist day-to-day,” said Staples, who plays a version of himself on the show.

For a long time the place for up-and-coming comics to get a real chance at breaking into the public’s consciousness was a five-minute stand-up feature on a late-night show.
An entire generation of the biggest-name comics—Letterman, Leno, Crystal, Seinfeld, Shandling, Pryor, Williams, DeGeneres—recognized that a shot in front of the national audience drawn nightly to Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show was, in success, a golden ticket to a celebrated career.
Is that still true?
The answer is more complicated than it used to be because comics now have the opportunity to build a following solely on social media, doing sets on You Tube or Tik Tok, etc.
And younger comics, much more raised on the attraction of those social media sites, often look to score there rather than on TV, because many contemporary comedy clubs now book more often based on number of followers than a single hot set on late night.

After “Bridgerton” dominated the top three spots on Luminate’s streaming rankings last week, the only TV title that could rival it was a complete change of pace from the high production value Regency-era drama: “Tires,” Shane Gillis’ self-funded half-hour comedy that premiered on May 23.
“Bridgerton” Season 3 of course still took the No. 1 position with 766.8 million minutes watched in its second full week of availability, coming out to an estimated 3.7 million views when divided by the 220-minute runtime of the four currently available episodes.

In the finale of “The Curse,” Whitney (Emma Stone) wakes up to discover her husband, Asher (Nathan Fielder), experiencing some unexplained form of reverse gravity on the ceiling above their bed. Panicked, the couple assumes it’s a result of an air pocket in their airtight, eco-friendly, passive home. But panic mounts to full-blown terror after Asher, with great physical effort and agility, navigates his way outside, and the only thing stopping him from being launched into the heavens is a large tree limb he holds onto for dear life.
While Asher spends the season concerned he’s been cursed by a tenant’s daughter (Hikmah Warsame), and the series composer John Medeski’s score more than hints at the cosmic, there was nothing that explains or prepares the audience for the surreal, seemingly-out-nowhere 40 minutes that concludes the season.

When Loki debuted in 2021, fans were introduced to Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), the variant whose exploits lead the God of Mischief (Tom Hiddleston) deeper into the depths of the Time Variance Authority (Tva) and the conspiracy behind its ruler. As Season 1 unfolded, Sylvie sought to unleash free will, eliminating the forces that tear variants away from their timelines and loved ones as she had been when she was a child. When viewers pick back up with Sylvie in Season 2, she’s doing her best to move on, but even time and a new life set in 1980s Oklahoma isn’t enough to help her escape the past. When Loki and Mobius (Owen Wilson) come crashing back into her life, Sylvie finds herself compelled to help them solve the Tva’s meltdown, which was seemingly sparked by her killing of He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) in Season 1.

Belt-tightening and cost-cutting continues across Hollywood as the Peak TV era has come to a close, and another legacy TV brand is being shuttered as a result.
Sony Television is shutting down its TriStar Television banner, which recently has been responsible for series like “Lucky Hank” (AMC), “The Afterparty” (Apple TV+), “On Becoming a God in Central Florida” (Showtime). In its heyday, TriStar TV produced and distributed “The Nanny,” “Mad About You,” and many more series.
A source says the decision is part of a larger shift around Sony Pictures Television’s boutique labels, not unlike the shuttering of the Gemstone brand several years ago, and that the hope is to weave all of TriStar’s values and goals into the bigger studio.

Et tu, Dr. Sullivan? The fifth episode of Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, now streaming on Max, confirms the girls’ suspicions about their smooth-talking therapist — one that bumps her to the top of their suspect list.
Following last week’s bombshell that Dr. Sullivan treated Rose Waters, it was also revealed that the good (or not-so-good) doc has been keeping detailed records of her sessions with the girls. Annabeth Gish’s character is apparently writing a book about adolescent survivors of traumatic events, for which she’s also using information she acquired while treating the original Liars back in the day.

So that was a big difference.” But for Cox, having a primarily Indigenous crew in front of and behind the camera also made a difference. “They were amazing to work with because when you’re with Indigenous people, it felt like home… you just feel the vibes and they understand each other.

Depending on how Russian your sense of humor is, Anton Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard” could be classified as either the darkest of comedies or a tragedy that sometimes manages to be mildly humorous. The play follows a past-their-prime family of Russian aristocrats who are forced to sell their eponymous orchard, which they spent most of their lives ignoring and neglecting. But once it’s time to actually part ways, they become overwhelmed by morose nostalgia as they struggle to let go of something that they assumed would always be there. It’s both a brilliant satire of wealth-induced decadence and a somber exploration of how humans struggle to say goodbye at the ends of their eras.
So it’s fitting that, whether she knows it or not, Lillian Hall’s (Jessica Lange) upcoming turn as Madame Lyubov Andreievna Ranevskaya in “The Cherry Orchard” will be her final performance. Michael Cristofer...

Jimmy Kimmel has finally scored a meeting with the Vice President.
VP Kamala Harris is now scheduled to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, June 4.
She was initially slated to guest on Kimmel’s April 16th episode, but postponed the appearance days after it was announced, cutting her Los Angeles trip short for an undisclosed reason.
At the time, insiders said her interview would be rescheduled for a later date. (Harris’ next talk show appearance wound up being The Kelly Clarkson Show on April 29.)
Her appearance will come less than a week after yesterday’s conviction of former President Donald Trump on 34 felony charges related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels. Last night, Kimmel had the distinction of being the only late-night host not on vacation the day the news broke.
Harris last appeared on a late-night show in March 2023 when she guested on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Saturday Night Live won’t be in the demo itself when it premieres its 50th season in September, but when it comes to viewers 18-49, the NBC sketch show is still tops.
With the final numbers now in for the 2023-24 broadcast season, SNL is officially the season’s top rated entertainment series across broadcast and cable TV among viewers 18-49. For the fifth year running, it’s also TV’s highest-rated comedy series in the demo.

Science fiction and fantasy have inspired dozens of great television scores through the years, from “Battlestar Galactica” to “Game of Thrones.” Three more streaming series continued that tradition this season: “Silo,” “Fallout” and “3 Body Problem.”
Atli Örvarsson’s music for “Silo,” the Apple TV+ dystopian drama set in a bleak future where everyone lives in underground silos, was initially inspired by the setting. “It’s a mechanized world,” he says. “The technology you see is very, very old; the computers look like they’re from the ’80s, so there was always this idea that even the electronic sounds should be primitive,...

The last time a Bryan Cranston drama hit Netflix, it sparked a pop culture phenomenon, with Breaking Bad earning an all-new array of fans and becoming watercooler viewing in its last few seasons. Now, another of his shows is getting a resurgence in viewership: Your Honor.

The actor gave fans a big push to check it out, writing on social media, “Please do catch it. We have a terrific cast, and you’ll be on the edge of your sofa watching the story unfold.

Some imperfect iPhone video shot by retired NASA astronaut Scott Kelly while he was commander of the International Space Station was the primary source of inspiration behind the visual style of the space-set scenes in Apple TV+’s “Constellation.”
As the sci-fi series begins, astronaut Jo, played by Noomi Rapace, survives a disaster at the Iss and returns to Earth to find that things are not the same. Kelly was a key adviser on the ambitious production.
Director of photography Markus Förderer (“Red Notice”) relates that after seeing Kelly’s video, the team aimed to “replicate” as close as possible...

“It sounds like that’s what their calculus was, to put it as close to that show as possible,” series director Lance Oppenheim says, laughing.

Series creator and original “Scott Pilgrim” scribe Bryan Lee O’Malley was out with BenDavid Grabinski, feeling stuck about a potential “Scott Pilgrim” adaptation for Netflix. O’Malley told IndieWire that the universe of the film, games, and graphic novels felt “very sludgy in my brain,” that he was at a loss for how to refresh it in the 2020s.
Then Grabinski offered — after some sake — “What if you killed Scott Pilgrim in the first episode?...

Saturday Night Live cast member Marcello Hernández stars in a new Major League Baseball ad campaign highlighting Latine culture in baseball.
The campaign, titled “El Béisbol Es Otra Cosa”—which translates to “Baseball is Something Else”—shines a spotlight on not only baseball’s Latine stars, but also its Latine fan community.
The season-long bilingual ad campaign launched Thursday, and will run across MLB Media outlets, social platforms, and broadcast partners.
“Baseball is a sport,” Hernández explains in a 90 second launch video (above), before continuing in Spanish. “But to be honest, for us, baseball is something else.”

Step aside, Netflix — there’s a new churn leader in town.
Amazon Prime Video boasts the lowest rate of customer cancellations in the streaming industry, according to a new study by Parks Associates. Prime Video’s current annual churn rate is 8 percent, which means eight out of 100 Prime Video members cancel their service within a 12-month period. (A customer who returns within the same time frame would be counted as both churn and current subscriber.)
By comparison, it sounds like “90-Day Fiancé” is not creating many 365-day subscribers: The Discovery+ annual churn rate is a whopping 43 percent.
There’s a pretty big gap between the churn rates of league-leaders Prime Video and Netflix and the other major streaming platforms. From April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, Hulu’s churn rate was 15 percent, Max’s (fka HBO Max) was 17 percent, as was Peacock’s; the Disney+ churn rate was 21 percent and Paramount+ was 24 percent.

The actors, husband and wife, on Saturday will attempt to revive a cable-tv mainstay for decidedly new purposes. When “Dinner & A Movie” debuted on TBS in 1995, it did so in an era when cable had yet to gain its fullest traction. A male-and-female duo gabbed and quibbled about movies such as “Breakfast Club” or “Fargo” and scarfed up gourmet snacks before throwing to a commercial. In return, executives hoped, viewers would stick around longer than they might otherwise. In 2024, Warner Bros. Discovery, TBS’ corporate parent,...
