A quartet of fast-rising British names are coming together for a buzzy new project launching at the Cannes market.
Bella Ramsey, Louis Partridge and Ruby Stokes are set to lead Sunny Dancer, the sophomore feature from George Jaques. Embankment Films is handling global pre-sales of the film, which it says showcases the “best of new British talent.”
“Sunny Dancer” follows Ivy (Ramsey), a teenager in remission from cancer, whose gloriously outspoken mum and well-intentioned dad insist she attend Children Run Free Camp, a summer retreat for young adults affected by cancer. The camp’s slogan, “Where kids come to kid,” does little to alleviate Ivy’s apprehension, and a quick Google search confirms her fears when she stumbles upon a cringeworthy promotional video filled with tacky messages and clichéd sunsets. As if conquering cancer wasn’t enough of a challenge, Ivy now faces the prospect of spending her summer at what she calls “chemo camp.

It’s the next step in the separation of the Starz cable channel/streaming service from the Lionsgate production house.
The effort by Lionsgate to spin off its TV and movie production studio from the cable channel/streaming service Starz has taken its next step. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lionsgate has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to spin off its TV and movie studios in a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (Spac), allowing it to continue the process of disentangling itself from Starz and potentially attract new buyers.

George Jaques is 23. Already a star, whom you may be familiar with from The Serpent Queen and A Town Called Malice, he’s now branching out into feature directing, and doing so with the kind of confidence most people don’t acquire until their forties. It’s a confidence that shows onscreen and in his writing, and it’s accompanied by shrewd insight into the experiences of his generation and the world at large.
Recently screened at the Glasgow Film Festival, his first feature film, Black Dog, follows two teenage boys from very different backgrounds who end up sharing a car on a journey from London to Scotlans. He co-wrote it with Jamie Flatters, who plays wayward foster kid Nathan, whilst Keenan Munn-Francis plays the withdrawn and secretly troubled Sam. During the festival, we met up, along with producer Ken Petrie, to discuss the film and how all this came about.

He co-wrote it with Jamie Flatters, who plays wayward foster kid Nathan, whilst Keenan Munn-Francis plays the withdrawn and secretly troubled Sam. During the festival, we met up, along with producer Ken Petrie, to discuss the film and how all this came about.

It doesn't take an expert in 17th-century English history to see why period piece Mary & George was snapped up by Starz after it was dropped by AMC late last year. The British drama is right at home on the premium cabler, where shows like Outlander and The Serpent Queen offer sexually explicit takes on major historical events, and various Power spin-offs take a hard look at the cost of ambition. D.C. Moore's Mary & George seeks to do both as it dramatizes the true story of Mary Villiers (Julianne Moore), who schemed her way into King James' (Tony Curran) court by molding her son George (Nicholas Galitzine) to be the King's lover.

Chrissy Metz (This Is Us), Jaime Ray Newman (Dopesick), Katie Lowes (Scandal), and George Ferrier (One of Us Is Lying) have been cast as series regulars in Starz’s upcoming drama series The Hunting Wives, alongside previously announced Malin Åkerman, Brittany Snow, Dermot Mulroney, and Evan Jonigkeit. Production is underway in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Written by Rebecca Cutter based on May Cobb’s novel of the same name, The Hunting Wives tells the story of Sophie O’Neil (Snow) and her family’s move from the East Coast to deep East Texas, where she succumbs to socialite Margo Bank’s (Åkerman) irresistible charms – and finds her life consumed by obsession, seduction and murder.
Metz plays Starr. Abby’s mother, a proud working-class woman and staunch Christian. Although she’s active at church and her daughter dates the star point guard Brad, she is not welcomed in the high-society world of the Hunting Wives.

Lionsgate currently has distribution deals in place with The Roku Channel and Peacock, but will they survive the studio’s split from one company into two?
The long-promised split of the Lionsgate movie studio from the Starz cable/streaming bundle is getting underway in April. A new report from Deadline indicates that the studio will merge with a special purpose acquisition company (Spac) in April, and will begin trading on the Nasdaq under a different symbol than Starz.
The plan is for Lionsgate to be fully split from Starz by the end of 2024. Once the split is complete, Starz and its properties like “Outlander” and the “Power” franchise would be available for acquisition. The transactions should not have an effect on licensing deals between Lionsgate and streaming partners like Peacock and The Roku Channel. Sign Up $5.99+ / month peacocktv.com

Lionsgate Television just eliminated more than half of its development deals, IndieWire has confirmed. The reduction comes after Lionsgate’s $375 million acquisition of eOne from Hasbro. The eOne purchase, which on the television side brought over “Yellowjackets” and other series, mixed with general industry contraction in the post-Peak TV era, rationalized the sweeping cuts.
Lionsgate executives conducted a two-months-long review of the Lionsgate Television and eOne talent rosters, which together included nearly 60 overall and first-look deals. The number is now below 30; no names have been reported on either the “stay” or “go” side of the ledger.
Deadline first reported the news. A Lionsgate rep declined comment on this story.
It is pretty common for a company to slim down ahead of acquisition — just ask Paramount — but this round was pretty drastic. It is important to remember that during last year’s writers strikes, pretty much all overall deals were put on pause.

Starz hasn’t offered this deal since August of 2023, and it’s not likely to stick around for long!
This particular moment in time is a tricky one to be searching for a new streaming platform. The NFL season is over, so subscribing to a service that carries NFL games won’t bring any extra value until September. Scripted TV series are still making their way back to airwaves after the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, so there are few marquee titles that will draw fans to one streamer over another.
Fortunately, Starz is offering a fantastic incentive to potential subscribers on the hunt for a new favorite show: 70% off your subscription for three months! That will drop the price of a Starz subscription to $2.99 per month, and you’ll stay at that price for the next 90 days.

After months of not knowing whether Lionsgate would spin off its studio or the Starz cable/streaming bundle, we now have a bit more clarity.
After months of speculation and analysis, there is finally some movement on the Lionsgate front. In July, the company filed paperwork to create two separate business entities; one for its movie and TV studio, and the other for its cable/streaming bundle Starz. Now, reports indicate that Lionsgate has made its decision, which will see its TV and movie studio spun off and merged with a special-purpose acquisition company (Spac).
Lionsgate will merge with Screaming Eagle Acquisition Corp to form Lionsgate Studios Corp. Its main goal will be to raise cash and make itself a more attractive acquisition target for a bigger company.

MGM previously joined forces with Lionsgate to enter a raft of international markets and will now have a footprint in 24 countries, including Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador,...

Starz has had its fair share of historical dramas in its original programming lineup. Of course, there’s the network’s popular adaptations of “Outlander” and “Dangerous Liaisons.” But Starz also has original series based on aristocratic figures, like “Becoming Elizabeth” and “The Serpent Queen.” Here’s another to join that list: “Mary & George,” a new series that charts the rise to power of the cunning Mary Viller, Countess Of Buckingham and her son, George.

Almost seven years to the day since it began, we’re about to give a royal wave of farewell to Netflix drama The Crown, but series six might be its most eye-opening yet, as its first part (out on November 16) deals with the events surrounding the tragic death of Princess Diana.
Some critics’ hackles might be up already after the show previously attracted condemnation for historical inaccuracies, so it will be especially interesting to see how the show covers such an emotive and important event in royal history, and just where the story ends when the final episodes are released on 14th December.
Even so, many fans will be disappointed not to see more recent events get The Crown treatment, like that Prince Andrew interview and Harry and Meghan’s very public royal uncoupling, but is it so far beyond the realms of possibility that the show might have a...

Exclusive: Lionsgate Entertainment is in final negotiations to acquire an additional ownership stake in management and production company 3 Arts Entertainment, sources tell Deadline. The exact size of the stake is unclear but it is understood to be significant. A rep for Lionsgate declined comment.
In spring 2018, indie studio Lionsgate acquired a majority (just over 50%) stake in 3 Arts, with an option to buy more/the rest five years later. The new deal, which is now being finalized after months of negotiations, ups Lionsgate’s investment in the leading management/production company in a major way without going for a full ownership.
At the time of the original 2018 investment, Lionsgate’s initial stake was valued in the $300M-$350M range. The prices of media assets like 3 Arts have gone up over the past five years, and the new acquisition followed a new valuation, a standard procedure, which I hear was higher...

Outlander may be off the air for an extended hiatus, but Sam Heughan has a delicious new role to sink his teeth into.
As previously reported, he will star opposite Eleanor Tomlinson in the Starz/Channel 4 series The Couple Next Door.
Now, months before the series premiere, we have the official trailer.
Let's just say it looks like a must-see drama, complete with twists and turns that will turn up the heat on those cold Winter nights.
In addition to Heughan and Tomlinson, Jessica De Gouw, and Alfred Enoch.
"When Evie (Tomlinson) and Pete (Enoch) move into an upscale neighborhood, they find themselves in a world of curtain twitching and status anxiety," the project's official description reads.
"But soon find friendship in the shape of the couple next door, alpha traffic cop Danny (Heughan) and his wife, glamorous yoga instructor Becka (De Gouw)."

The push for greater studio capacity and more ambitious large-scale facilities — both in the Paris region and throughout the country — is a key element of the France 2030 plan.
As it stands, France is on track to offer more than two dozen studios by 2024, with flagship developments including the Tsf Backlot 77. That sprawling installation, built on the site of a one-time airbase 38 miles east of Paris, will offer Parisian street facades and a number of standing sets encompassing different neighborhoods and architectural styles.
The backlot will go live next summer, just weeks before the Summer Olympics puts one side of Paris on display to the world while curtailing production in other (often iconic) parts of town. The opportune timing has hardly been lost on municipal shooting commission Film Paris Region and national counterpart Film France; they will propose the ersatz capital as one of many solutions once certain areas of Paris...

International production spending in France hit record highs in 2022, resulting in 2,220 shooting days that crested above $1 billion in promised investment — and public initiatives had a major role to play. In early 2020, for example, France updated its Tax Rebate for International Production scheme, supplementing a 30% across-the-board rebate with an additional 10% — applicable on all eligible expenses — for productions that spent $2.2 million with local VFX and post houses.
Clearly, such initiatives have already borne fruit, with (wholly) locally shot films like “The Nun II” in theaters before big-budget series such as Apple’s “The New Look,” Starz’s “The Serpent Queen” Season 2 and AMC’s “Monsieur Spade” hit airwaves. Local authorities are well into a campaign of internal improvement met with international outreach, all meant to shore up Gaul’s standing as a preeminent, full-service production destination.
