It took nearly 15 years for Sofía Vergara to land Griselda at Netflix, but when it was finally time to step into the notorious Colombian drug lord’s heels, the Modern Family star was filled with doubt. “There were a million things that I was nervous about, mainly my performance,” she says. “This was my first time acting in Spanish, my first time doing drama, and I was nervous if I was going to be able to convince people that it wasn’t just Gloria Pritchett with a plastic nose.” To Vergara’s delight, the reception has been nothing but effusive. “It’s a risk to do something like this, because you never know,” she says. “To realize people actually love it, it’s a gift.”

Netflix keeps sticking to its long-standing tradition of dropping more and more new (or not so new) flicks and shows every week replenishing its immense collection, and one of the recent arrivals seems to have joined the streaming’s hit movie of this year on the list of journalism-related dramas.
Released back in January, the thriller Cold Copy, starring The Morning Show’s actress Bel Powley, has been available on Netflix for a while now, coming as a perfect fit for those who previously enjoyed the Gillian Anderson-led drama Scoop.
What Is Cold Copy About?
Roxine Helberg’s directorial debut, Cold Copy follows ambitious journalism student Mia Scott as she goes for The Night Report’s host and ruthless interviewer Diane Heger trying to talk the latter into having a segment aired on her show. Seeing Heger remain indifferent, Mia adopts tougher methods when she starts twisting the story...

Lulu Wang remembers Nicole Kidman spiraling down a psychological rabbit hole in Jonathan Glazer’s 2004 dream-like masterpiece Birth where a woman believes that a 10-year-old boy is the reincarnation of her dead husband. “That’s my favorite,” Wang declares, much to Kidman’s delight — and surprise. During the making of Prime Video’s Expats drama series, based on Janice Y.K. Lee’s second novel, The Expatriates published in early 2016, they both discovered that they had the same ‘get up and do it’ sensibility. As Kidman put it: “You’ve got to roll up your sleeves and do it.” Followed by a cry of “Don’t just sit there, let’s do it, let’s do it.” Wang says it’s “super rare” to meet someone like Kidman. “It feels pretty rare because there are a lot of people who talk about meeting more female directors. But I think that the evidence is in the resume.

Things are going great between King Charles III and Prince William. The monarch, 75, and his oldest son and heir, the Prince of Wales, 41, have moved on from any potential “rivalry” or feelings of jealousy thanks to, in large part, “ tricky family issues.” Now, more than ever, William’s happy to help out his father as much as possible. Meanwhile, the king sees his oldest son as a “useful ally.”
Any father-son ‘rivalry’ is over for King Charles and Prince William
Competitiveness between the king and heir? Not anymore. A friend of the king’s told The Sunday Times the two are done with that “chapter” of their lives.
“If there was ever a green-eyed monster or a sense of rivalry between the two, that is a chapter of the past,” they said. “The King sees his son as a useful ally on family matters. And, increasingly, in discharging the duties of nation and state.

Succession star Harriet Walter is taking on Maggie Thatcher in splashy Channel 4 drama series Brian and Margaret, which is being directed by Stephen Frears, penned by James Graham and co-starring Steve Coogan. Coogan’s BBC Studios-backed Baby Cow is producing.
Unveiled with three weeks until the general election, the two-parter is a dramatization of the story behind and occasion of Thatcher’s last TV interview, the hugely damaging ITV grilling by her old friend Brian Walden (Coogan), which some view as the final nail in her prime ministerial coffin.
The pair were cosy in the run up to the interview and had faced each other before on the small screen but Walden – who was one of the most feared political interviewers of his day – struck several blows particularly with a line of questioning about the recent resignation of Thatcher’s chancellor,...

Gillian Anderson has been a British national treasure for many years. This may seem incongruous to state definitively of a Chicago-born actress who first rose to prominence playing an FBI agent on a hit network show, but it is what it is. The year The X-Files ended, Anderson moved to London, and she has lived there ever since. She had spent her earliest childhood years in the city. Sorry America, it doesn’t matter what her passport says: at this point, Anderson has lived as much of her life in the UK as outside it, and the country is very keen to claim her.
Anderson’s Anglophilia runs deep, you see, and more than perhaps any other American acting transplant, she has earned her stripes. With the financial freedom The X-Files offered, she was called back to London to tread the boards, and from her earliest appearances on the West...

In Netflix’s Scoop, Gillian Anderson plays Emily Maitlis, the real-life former BBC host who, on Nov. 16, 2019, left Prince Andrew squirming as she probed him over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
During the interview, Andrew (Rufus Sewell) infamously failed to distance himself from the convicted sex trafficker, only describing Epstein’s behavior as “unbecoming” and claiming innocence of his own allegations of sexual abuse on account of a cryptic condition in which he did not sweat. (Andrew’s accuser described him as being sweaty when they allegedly danced together at a London nightclub.)
Maitlis maintained her composure as she watched — and in many ways provoked — the train wreck in front of her. “It was exactly the right way for her to pitch it,” Anderson says.
The result made headlines across the globe and earned BBC’s Newsnight several awards. Scoop takes audiences behind the scenes of Maitlis’ and booker Sam McAlister...

Gillian Anderson wants the truth.
After winning an Emmy for Netflix’s “The Crown,” Gillian Anderson is back in the royal realm, but this time she’s in the shoes of journalist Emily Maitlis in Netflix’s taut thriller “Scoop.” The film tells the story of the BBC news team that secured the explosive 2019 interview with Prince Andrew about his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Anderson has a deep admiration and respect for journalists, but in a post Donald Trump-era she’s grown increasingly frustrated with news outlets that have lost focus on their core mission.
“It’s frustrating when publications that don’t lead with integrity, whether in news or entertainment, and devolve into tabloid journalism,” Anderson tells Variety. “There are so few left that respect the truth, the job and the integrity of individuals. They should treat their audience as adults, capable of making up their own minds.

Netflix India is set to delve into another gripping true story. Peepingmoon.com has exclusively learned that the streaming giant is developing a web series based on “Operation Safed Sagar,” a crucial mission carried out by the Indian Air Force (Iaf) during the 1999 Kargil War between India and Pakistan.
Renowned director Oni Sen, known for his work on the popular web series “Asur,” has been chosen to helm this project. The series will be produced by Sanjay Routray, Sarita Patil, and Dikssha Jyoti Routray under the Matchbox Shots banner. The show will depict the Iaf’s historic 47-day operation, executed in collaboration with the Indian Army’s ground forces, aimed at dislodging Pakistani troops from Indian positions along the Line of Control. This operation, launched on May 26, 1999, involved precision airstrikes using fighter planes, attack helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles to clear high-altitude enemy positions.

There aren’t enough Native women on TV. But when they do get hired, they’re often playing cops.
“Not to take away from the performances of all these actresses, who I admire so much and are doing a beautiful job,” says Lily Gladstone, “but it’s almost the only role that we get to see.”
So it’s understandable that Gladstone had something of a checklist in hand when she first met with the producers of “Under the Bridge.” They were offering her the role of Cam Bentland, a police officer investigating the 1997 murder of Reena Virk (played by Vritika Gupta), a 14-year-old child of Indian immigrants in Saanich Core, British Columbia.
Cam, a Native woman adopted by a family of white cops, was the invention of series creator Quinn Shephard. Though realistic, the character is fictional; but the homicide at the center of the project is not. Often in the true crime genre,...

The Crown may not be done after all. And Prince Andrew’s partly to thank. The success of Scoop, a Netflix movie about his 2019 Newsnight interview, has reportedly made executives at the streamer realize there are still more British royal family stories to tell. To that end, The Crown, which ended after six seasons in December 2023, may return to the small-screen with a prequel.
Netflix is looking to make a short-form prequel to ‘The Crown’
“When the sixth season was released at the end of 2023, some breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the controversial show had been put to bed for good,” Tatler reported. However, it looks like it may very well be on its way back. (The Crown ended after depicting now-King Charles III’s 2005 marriage to now-Queen Camilla.)

Last Thursday, FX confirmed that its adaptation of James Clavell’s “Shōgun” will continue past its first season and thus compete as a drama series rather than a limited one at the upcoming Emmys. Since it had spent the preceding three weeks as Gold Derby’s predicted Best Limited Series winner and was expected to reap several acting nominations, every drama and limited race was shaken up by its reclassification – and the dust still has not settled.
Within 48 hours of the “Shōgun” shift, our 2,500+ Emmy predictors came to the consensus that it will be nominated for Best Drama Series and all of the corresponding main acting awards. Even lead actor Cosmo Jarvis and supporting actress Moeka Hoshi, who never quite managed to reach predicted nominee status before, quickly broke into our forecasted drama lineups.

Neil has a long history of working for Murdoch interests in the UK. He was the founding chairman of Sky (now owned by Comcast) and was editor of The Sunday Times for more than a decade.

Do you think drama just stays on screen in the entertainment industry? Well, no…sometimes, it can seep into the behind-the-scenes operations of some of our favorite shows. Kevin Costner, the celebrated actor known for his roles in films like Dances with Wolves and The Bodyguard, has found himself at the forefront of some recent production troubles with his hit TV series, Yellowstone.
Yellowstone [Credit: Paramount Network]Apart from a few remarks made earlier this year, in which he delighted fans by expressing interest in returning for a potential sixth season, Costner has stayed silent about the conflict. But, in a recent chat with Deadline, the California-born actor, 69, shared his own serialized story as he gets ready to debut the first chapter of Horizon: An American Saga at Cannes.

The British Royal Family is often a source of scandal. You can verify this thanks to The Crown by Peter Morgan or a simple attempt to Google the latest news from Buckingham Palace: you will see the recent "disappearance" of Kate Middleton and Prince Harry's tossing between the US and UK, and the false statement about the death of the King.
A recent movie released on Netflix depicts another high-profile story involving the son of Elizabeth II. The scandal reached its climax in 2019, when the prince gave an interview to the BBC and created a wave of criticism against him. It was the historic conversation that became the subject of study by director Philip Martin in the film Scoop.
The movie is based on a book by Sam McAlister, the same producer who finally persuaded Prince Andrew to break his silence.

Back in 2022, the eight-episode feature following the mysterious adventures of Wednesday Addams in Nevermore Academy became Netflix’s most-watched original series ever, beating even the most hyped seasons of Stranger Things and Bridgerton.
Filming of the follow-up has just started in Ireland, and we can finally have a closer look at the second season’s cast changes. Luckily, Wednesday’s main star, the new scream queen Jenna Ortega, will reprise her already iconic role, despite her dropping out of another Netflix’s project, the animated series Jurassic World: Chaos Theory.
Wednesday Regulars: Who Returns in Season 2?
Firstly, we’ll have some characters elevated to the status of the show’s regulars. These include Catherine Zeta-Jones as Wednesday’s mother, Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, the father of the family, Isaac Ordonez as their son Pugsley, and also Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Ritchie Santiago, the deputy of the local police department.

Given its warm critical reception and past PGA and SAG Award notices, it makes sense that “Mr. Monk’s Last Case” has maintained a massive lead over its Best TV Movie competitors ever since we opened our 2024 Emmys predictions center. However, because the original “Monk” was never even nominated for Best Comedy Series during its eight-season run, the one-off Peacock continuation can’t exactly be considered a shoo-in. In truth, it faces quite a few strong challengers, including the laugh-packed Netflix offering “Unfrosted.”
Hours before its May 3 premiere, “Unfrosted” rose above its 100/1 Gold Derby odds and pulled ahead of both “Finestkind” and “Genie” to become this year’s seventh most likely TV movie nominee. Its next immediate challenge is passing sixth place runner “Scoop” (also from Netflix), which is currently a predicted nominee among our editors and experts.
Limited series acting hopefuls Nicole Kidman (“Expats”) and Johnny Flynn (“Ripley”) also recently improved upon their 100/1 odds,...

Indian actor Prosenjit Chatterjee is a veteran of more than 250 films, but his most recent endeavor “Shesh Pata” is one of the special ones.
Chatterjee is a superstar in the eastern Indian Bengali-language film industry and a sought-after actor in the Hindi-language Bollywood industry as well. He scored global hits in 2023 with his pivotal roles in Prime Video series “Jubilee” and Netflix series “Scoop.” The same year, he starred in Bengali blockbuster “Dasham Avatar.”
For “Shesh Pata,” Chatterjee reunited with director Atanu Ghosh, with whom he’d done successful films “Mayurakshi” (2017) and “Robibaar” (2019). In “Shesh Pata,” Chatterjee plays Balmiki, an arrogant non-conformist fiction writer whose best days are behind him. A publisher commissions him to write a book about his murdered actress wife, but Balmiki, who is sunk in a morass of tobacco and alcohol, does not deliver. The publisher engages a debt recovery agent to get the writing out of Balmiki.

Gandhi, the Indian period drama series currently in production, will reveal “the origin of Superman,” according to its makers.
In a series of interviews, stars Pratik Gandhi and Tom Felton, director Hansal Mehta and executive producer Sameer Nair revealed the latest on the show, which is being billed as one of the biggest to ever come out of India.
The show will tell the story of Mahatma Gandhi’s earlier adult years before becoming a political icon and nonviolence protest pioneer, in particular his time spent in London and South Africa.
“There are almost 45 years of life before the moment he becomes the Mahatma,” said Nair, CEO of Gandhi producer Applause Entertainment. “Of that, a large part was spent in London before he spent 23 in South Africa. There are a lot of elements of that story that are not known but are important to the history. Richard Attenborough’s [1982] movie covers it in 15 minutes,...

The whole nation, and perhaps the world, may wish Prince Andrew to stay out of the public eye, but he’s got his own plans.
Maybe the Newsnight interview was unnecessary and a disaster, but what’s done is done. He’s lost his role as a working member of the Royal Family, and while he still lives comfortably enough, he no longer benefits from the royal grant.
However, some people would love it if he dropped his Hrh title, which he can now only use in private, and exit the Order of the Garter – the UK’s most senior order of chivalry – but well, he’s not complying. Above all, royal expert Richard Palmer believes the King won’t strip him of his titles for this reason.

At the start of the current Emmys season, our in-house editors and cadre of awards experts generally agreed that the next Best Drama Actress winner would be Jennifer Aniston (“The Morning Show”). That wasn’t the case for long, however, as the expert odds have now consistently favored Imelda Staunton (“The Crown”) for over two months. Although the editors’ opinion is shared by a majority of our 2,000+ Emmy predictors, the experts could be onto something given the wide open nature of this and many more 2024 Emmy races.
Staunton’s claim to victory is strengthened by the fact that her show is the only past Best Drama Series nominee currently vying for that prize (which it won three years ago). It also helps that her supporting cast mate, Elizabeth Debicki, is her category’s obvious frontrunner due to her status as the sole 2023 drama acting contender eligible for an immediate return.

King Charles III’s slimmed-down monarchy has caused a “huge void” in the British royal family’s “lineup,” according to a royal author. What was supposed to include the “strongest” members of the Windsor family now is a “limp” showing. Ahead, the “crisis” the royal family’s been dealing with since before the king and Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnoses. Plus, who is on the list of working royals.

According to Omid Scobie, a royal commentator and author, King Charles’s slimmed-down monarchy isn’t the one he originally intended. In fact, far from it.
Instead of a “strong” showing, what’s left is a “huge void in the royal lineup,” he told ABC News Studio’s Impact x Nightline: The Crown in Crisis (via UsWeekly).

Sure, Scoop “upset” Princess Beatrice. But not as much as Amazon’s own depiction of Prince Andrew’s 2019 Newsnight interview is about to. The 35-year-old British royal is reportedly “dreading” A Very Royal Scandal’s release as she’s further “dragged” into the drama surrounding her father’s legendary interview.
Beatrice expects to be featured more prominently in ‘A Very Royal Scandal’ than ‘Scoop’
Although, like Scoop, A Very Royal Scandal focuses on her father’s 2019 Newsnight interview about Jeffrey Epstein that saw him lose patronages as well as working royal and Hrh [His Royal Highness] status, Beatrice is more concerned about Amazon’s depiction as opposed to Netflix’s.
The reason, per Ok! Magazine, is because Beatrice thinks she’ll feature more prominently compared to Scoop, in which actor Charity Wakefield played her in one brief scene.

Before you make your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best TV Movie, take a look through our photo gallery featuring the telefilms most likely to land in this year’s lineup. As it stands, Peacock’s “Mr. Monk’s Last Case” (a continuation of the eight-time Emmy-winning 2000s comedy series “Monk”) is comfortably leading the race.
“Mr. Monk’s Last Case” would be the first Peacock movie ever nominated in this category, as would “Genie” or “Shooting Stars.”
Last year, Hulu’s “Fire Island” and “Prey” were both passed over in favor of The Roku Channel’s “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” but the streamer could soon avenge those losses with “No One Will Save You,” “Quiz Lady,” or “Self Reliance.”
Netflix – which won this award for three “Black Mirror” installments (2017-2019) as well as “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square” (2021) – can now achieve its fifth victory with “Scoop” or “Unfrosted.”

Netflix – which won this award for three “Black Mirror” installments (2017-2019) as well as “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square” (2021) – can now achieve its fifth victory with “Scoop” or “Unfrosted.”

3 Body Problem clocked another week atop Netflix’s TV charts — though it appears to have been a slow week for the streamer’s series.
The drama series from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff, D. B. Weiss, as well as Alexander Woo, clocked just 4.8M views in its third week at No. 1. Consider that the series tallied 11M views in its first weekend on Netflix and could only muster second place.
The series now sits just below 40M views in total since launch, which places it about halfway to the most popular list. It would need more than 83M views in its 91-day premiere window to beat out The Witcher Season 1. This is still looking relatively unlikely, since the series peaked with about 15.6M views in one week and viewership has steeply declined in the past two measurement periods.
The Gentlemen took third place again, but its viewership also declined to 3.7M views.

Could this be worse than The Crown? Well, if you ask Princess Beatrice, the answer would be yes. There’s a new report that says the young princess feels absolutely devastated and humiliated that Scoop is making her father, Prince Andrew, and the royal family look so bad.
It’s one show that she would rather tune out from than tune in. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Royal Family News – Princess Beatrice Feels Humiliated Over Netflix’s ‘Scoop
Princess Beatrice doesn’t want anyone talking to her about Netflix’s Scoop. The film, which stars Billie Piper and Gillian Anderson, is about how the women of Newsnight secured Prince Andrew’s infamous 2019 interview, when he denied all of the allegations of sexual assault that were made against him. He also tried to downplay his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Rufus Sewell’s butt made headlines earlier this year when it was inaccurately reported that he wore a prosthetic butt to play Prince Andrew in Netflix’s “Scoop,” the juicy dramatization of his disastrous interview regarding a friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
“There’s an account of him wearing bum prosthetics and body prosthetics, but he was literally joking to another journalist,” “Scoop” prosthetic makeup designer Kristyan Mallett told IndieWire. “That is a body double [when you see him naked from behind]. I’m sure loads of people would love to stick on Rufus bum prosthetics, but I didn’t get the luxury this time. Maybe next time.”
But despite the absence of a prosthetic posterior, Mallett and hair and makeup designer Kirstin Chalmers had their hands full. “The two faces are very, very different,” Chalmers told IndieWire. “Andrew’s is very long and Rufus is very chiseled and almost like a diamond shape. Rufus has a very amazing chin,...

King Charles III would probably do things differently if he had a do-over at parenting Prince William and Prince Harry. According to a royal expert, the king likely “regrets” the “freestyle” way the Prince of Wales, 41, and Duke of Sussex, 39, grew up in the British royal family.
Harry and William didn’t have ‘many’ boundaries growing up
As kids growing up at Kensington Palace and Highgrove, the world was, for the most part, William and Harry’s oyster. After all, they were the children of a future king, the then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
As such, the brothers largely had free rein to do “what they wanted.” Sure, they had a nanny not unlike other royal children. The lack of boundaries is what Ingrid Seward, a royal expert and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, thinks King Charles now regrets.
“I think Charles probably regrets that he wasn’t strict with Harry and William,...

The premiere week of Netflix’s “Ripley” elbowed “3 Body Problem” out of the No. 1 slot among streaming original series for the week of April 5-11, according to Luminate streaming ratings.
Among streaming original movies, “Scoop” managed a solid break for Netflix while Amazon Prime Video’s “Road House” hung tough in its third full week in release, as reported by Luminate in its weekly Top 10 Streaming Originals charts for series and movies.
“Ripley,” the much talked-about adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s classic fraudster saga “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” from Oscar-winning screenwriter Steve Zaillian, debuted with about 670.1 million minutes watched across its eight episodes. That translates to about 1.5 million views.
A sleeper entrant at No. 2 was Netflix’s unscripted crime docu “Files of the Unexplained,” with 531.3 million minutes watched across eight episodes. The show’s audience grew 276% in its first full week in release after premiering on April 3.
Landing at No.

Scoop, the Netflix film chronicling Prince Andrew’s humbling interview on the BBC, has enjoyed a relatively regal reception from British audiences.
Based on a book of the same name by Sam McAlister, the woman who played a central role in securing access to the Duke of York, the feature was watched by 2.75M viewers in its first seven days.
The rating is healthy for Netflix, putting Scoop ahead of other recently launched titles, not least the eye-wateringly expensive 3 Body Problem, which premiered with 1.7M viewers.
Scoop could not quite match fellow royal drama The Crown, however. The Left Bank show’s final season debuted with 2.8M last year, according to official Barb figures supplied by overnights.tv.
The biggest title on Netflix in 2024 has been Fool Me Once’s blockbuster debut of 6.3M viewers in January. Netflix’s UK chief Anne Mensah revealed last month that Fool Me Once...

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell Productions announced two new projects that will make their Netflix debut. The first will provide viewers with unprecedented access to the world of professional polo. However, news of Meghan Markle’s new cooking show caused a royal reporter to say, “Give me a barf bag.”
Meghan Markle can add cooking show host to her resume
Archewell Productions released a few details about Meghan Markle’s cooking show. The Duchess of Sussex will helm a series focused on “celebrating the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining, and friendship.”
However, royal reporter Kinsey Schofield had a less-than-positive response to the news. She shared her thoughts in commentary on Talk TV.
“I want to stress this is a PR push for Meghan,” she begins. “I think people really dislike Meghan Markle, and it must absolutely destroy her; otherwise, she wouldn’t be fighting so hard to be relevant.
