Jeff Margolis, a prolific TV producer and director whose roster of credits stretching back to the 1970s includes nearly every major awards show and dozens of live events, specials and variety shows, died today in Nashville, Tennessee. He was 78.

His death was confirmed by the Screen Actors Guild Awards Committee and the Directors Guild of America. No cause of death was given.

“Jeff Margolis created some of the most unforgettable moments in awards show history, and we are grateful that the Screen Actors Guild Awards was among them. For over 16 years, Jeff helped shape the telecast into a celebration worthy of the actors it honors. We are profoundly grateful for his contributions and will miss him dearly,” the SAG Awards Committee said in a statement.

“The entire DGA community mourns the loss of Jeff Margolis, member since 1972,” the Directors Guild of America said in a statement. “Jeff received seven DGA Awards nominations,...

“The Wheel of Time” has been canceled after three seasons at Amazon Prime Video.

The fantasy series, based on the book series of the same name by Robert Jordan, followed Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of an incredibly powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, who embarks on a global journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity. Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski ) realizes in Season 2 that he is the subject of the prophesy, and in Season 3, competing forces pull him towards both good...

John, aka J.D., was the narrator and central character for most of the show’s first run.

Creator Bill Lawrence, Zach and other members of the cast have said they’d like to reunite for years.

“We’re gonna do it, you guys know,” the creator said during a Scrubs reunion panel at the Atx TV Festival in 2022. “If you ever have an excuse to work with people you want to spend time with anyway, run to it.”

Zach is the first member of the show’s original cast to join the ABC show. Scrubs also starred Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes,...

Josh Hartnett (Oppenheimer) has been tapped for the lead of Netflix’s untitled Newfoundland limited series from creator Jesse McKeown. Hartnett will executive produce the six-episode series, which takes place and will film in Newfoundland, Canada. Also boarding the project as executive producer is Jessica Rhoades (Black Mirror).

In the series, when a mysterious sea creature terrorizes a remote Newfoundland town, a hard-bitten fisherman (Hartnett) must fight to protect his family, his community, and his vanishing way of life.

McKeown will serve as showrunner. He executive produces with Rhoades through her company Pacesetter U.K., Chris Hatcher, Hartnett, Jamie Childs, Louise Sutton, and Sharon Hall. The series’ writing team includes Karen Walton, Perry Chafe and Natty Zavitz; Jamie Childs, Helen Shaver and Stephen Dunn will direct.

Nicola Walker (The Split) and Jemaine Clement (What We Do in the Shadows) will lead a new, six-part Disney+ original series, Alice and Steve (working title).

From the award-winning Clerkenwell Films (Baby Reindeer), Alice and Steve follows lifelong best friends who see their world implode when the middle-aged Steve starts dating Alice’s 26-year-old daughter, Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith). “Although both are no strangers to chaos and dubious decision-making, their once rock-solid friendship is turned upside down and tested to its limits — threatening their families, futures and everything in between,” a plot synopsis reads.

Joel Fry (Cruella) also stars as Alice’s husband Daniel, with Tyrese Eaton-Dyce (Sherwood) cast as her son Dom and Olivier-award-winning Marcia Warren (The Crown) starring as Alice’s mother, Val. Rounding out the cast are Eilidh Fisher (Dope Girls) and Ebony Aboagye. Filming has commenced in London.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from all five episodes of “Sirens,” now streaming on Netflix.

Hey hey! Starch your pastels and delete all your incriminating texts — Molly Smith Metzler’s new black comedy series “Sirens” is now streaming on Netflix. Adapted from Metzler’s 2011 play “Elemeno Pea,” the series follows Devon (Meghann Fahy) a prickly, blue-collar New Yorker who visits her sister Simone (Milly Alcock) at the ritzy Nantucket-ish estate owned by Simone’s glamorous boss, Michaela (Julianne Moore).

Though Devon visits Michaela’s island intent on chewing Simone out for leaving her alone to take of their aging...

Longtime ESPN host Tony Reali took his final lap “Around the Horn” on Friday, closing out the sports debate series after 23 years and more than 4,900 episodes.

ESPN set the end date months ago for the half-hour series that has been a staple of the sports cabler’s early evening lineup. Reali has not been shy in recent interviews about “Around the Horn” having been canceled despite its long tenure.

“Around the Horn” featured a “Hollywood Squares”-style assembly of prominent sports journalists talking about teams, athletes and sports issues of the day. The scribes vied to score points, as judged by Reali,...

An “absolutely brutal” Daily Double ruling may have cost a Jeopardy! Champion their chance to compete in the Tournament of Champions on Friday’s (May 23) edition of the series. Brendan Liaw, a stay-at-home son from Vancouver, British Columbia, came into the game with a three-day winning streak and a total of $59,398. Competing against him were Jim Carpenter, a retired music professor from Charlotte, Vermont, and Congressional liaison David Crockett from Washington D.C. In the first round, Liaw took the lead, earning $5,200 to Crockett’s $4,000 and Carpenter’s $3,800. It was Carpenter who secured the Daily Double for the round — correctly guessing that “acid test” was the idiom described by the clue, “Its original sense had to do with dissolving metals to determine gold content; now it means an ultimate proof.” By wagering $1,000 on the Dd, Carpenter brought himself close to the others. During the interviews segment of the day, Liaw,...

The Manning brothers aren’t the only sibling duo hoping to make a splash with unfettered game commentary.

When The Handmaid’s Tale‘s penultimate episode dropped Tuesday, Taylor Swift fans rejoiced: The hour’s opening moments were backed by “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version),” an inclusion they hoped was a hint that Swift’s re-recorded Reputation album was on its way.

But a few sharp-eyed fans watching the sequence, which featured Elisabeth Moss’ June and her fellow handmaids on the warpath to destroy Gilead, thought Swift had even more influence on the scene. As in: They were fairly certain she was in the scene as an background actor, albeit with her back to the camera.

The expansion of the California film and TV tax credit, which industry stakeholders argue is key to protecting jobs in the state, hit a snag on Friday, as lawmakers deleted references in bill language to raising the program cap to $750 million.

Gov. Gavin Newsom vowed last fall to increase the program from $330 million to $750 million. Two bills, Ab 1138 and Sb 630, have been working their way through the legislative process to enact that increase and other changes to make the program more attractive to producers.

On Friday, the bills passed through the appropriations committees in the Assembly and Senate, but the references to $750 million were removed.

Josh Hartnett is taking on a scary monster at Netflix.

The actor — whose most recent TV roles include guest spots on The Bear and Black Mirror — will star in and executive-produce an untitled limited series for the streamer about a mysterious sea creature that terrorizes a remote Newfoundland town, our sister site Variety reports.

Jeff Margolis, a TV producer and director who specialized in live events from the Oscars to the Emmys and SAG Awards, died Friday in Nashville, Tenn. He was 78.

Over four decades, Margolis directed some of TV’s biggest events, including presidential galas and specials for entertainers including Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Midler and Cher.

“Jeff Margolis created some of the most unforgettable moments in awards show history, and we are grateful that the Screen Actors Guild Awards was among them. For over 16 years, Jeff helped shape the telecast into a celebration worthy of the actors it honors.

You gotta give the Lost writers a lot of credit. Over the course of six seasons, the storytellers behind the hit ABC drama actually did answer the vast majority of the questions they raised. We know, for example, why Oceanic 815 crashed on a tropical island, why the survivors found polar bears there, why there were Others (and immortal beings) on the seemingly deserted isle, and whether our heroes were actually dead the whole time. Still, some mysteries remain 15 years after the series ended on May 23, 2010 — whether by narrative oversight or producer decree. We can grow flash-forward beards and shout “We have to go back!” as much as we want, but no number of return trips to the Island will yield answers. Here are some of the questions nagging us the most. 1. Who was with “Christian Shephard” in the cabin? In the Season 4 premiere, Hurley (Jorge Garcia) stumbled upon the same...

Winning Survivor means collecting a $1 million payday. Only one person can win the season, though, so what happens to everybody else? Do they just walk away penniless, or is there a compensation system in place for those who don’t make it all the way? While very little has been officially said about the salaries of Survivor contestants, there is a bit known about whether players who aren’t the Sole Survivor actually walk away with any money. Scroll down for everything we know! Are Survivor contestants paid? Yes, Survivor contestants do get paid appearance fees for competing on the series, but the amount is heavily dependent upon how long they last in the competition. In 2021, Corinne Kaplan, who appeared on Seasons 17 and 26, opened up about how much contestants earn from the show. “I think people are always surprised to learn that we do earn money,” she said on the...

Eight people who found guilty of crimes including robbery in an organized gang, kidnapping, acquisition and possession of weapons, aggravated theft, complicity in preparation of a criminal act, sequestration and assisting an armed gang on Friday in Paris, concluding a high-profile trial recounting the armed robbery of Kim Kardashian. Kardashian was tied up and robbed of upwards of $6 million in jewelry in her Paris rental apartment in 2016.

Aomar Aït Khedache, the alleged ringleader of the gang — who were nicknamed “Grandpa robbers,” as most of them are older than 60 — was sentenced to eight years in prison, five of which were suspended,...

Amazon has decided to pull the plug on one of its most ambitious fantasy adaptation series after three seasons. The Wheel of Time will not return for Season 4, and fans are sharing their reactions to the news online. The streaming series adapted Robert Jordan’s book series of the same name and told the story of Rand al-Thor (portrayed by Josha Stradowski in the show), whom prophecy foretold was the reincarnation of the Dragon — called the Dragon Reborn — who had to face the Dark One and decide whether to save the world or destroy it altogether. The adaptation featured Rosamund Pike in the lead as Moiraine Damodred, who belonged to a group of women with the ability to channel the One Power and sought out the Dragon Reborn. The series was developed by Rafe Judkins, who also served as showrunner, and its cast also featured Daniel Henney as Moiraine’s companion al’Lan Mandragoran,...

Since 1979, the Emmy Awards have made space, between the many live-action series it honors, to hand out some recognition to animated programs through its Outstanding Animated Program category. But in the nearly 50-year history of the trophy, a large, increasingly important subset of the medium hasn’t even been eligible to compete: anime.

The rules for the Emmy Awards state that, for a show to be submitted in the Primetime Emmys ceremony, the show needs to be produced at least partially by an American company. As a result, the uniquely Japanese art form — despite its growing popularity in the West — has only been able to compete in the international category for “Best Kids Animation.”

Six series produced in Japan have been nominated in that category since 2012: “Digimon Xros Wars,” “Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter,” “Shimajiro’s Wow!,” “Design Ah!,” “To Your Eternity,” and “Rilakkuma’s Theme Park Adventure”; “Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter...

The 2025 finale season is upon us. As shows that aired in the fall and midseason prepare to air their final episodes of the 2024-2025 TV year, networks and streamers are slowly starting to reveal which programs won’t be coming back. Cancellations are unfortunately inevitable and unavoidable, and even long-running shows must eventually come to an end. Heading into 2025, we already knew that some of the biggest shows of the last decade would be releasing their final episodes this year. Below is the list of all the TV shows that have either been canceled, or are ending, in 2025. We’ll continue to update this list as more cancellations and final seasons are announced.

How do you even begin to follow a triumph like “Succession”?

It’s the kind of problem that only the most rarified group of showrunners have ever faced, and virtually none of them have found a good answer. For every “Better Call Saul,” there are five misfires like “The Romanoffs,” and it sometimes feels like the smartest move is to pull a David Chase or Jerry Seinfeld and simply not try at all. Creating a television show that captures the zeitgeist the way “Succession” did requires endless amounts of talent and resources at every level of the filmmaking process — and you still have to catch lightning in a bottle on top of that.

“Succession” Season 4 erased all doubts about Jesse Armstrong’s writing abilities, but it’s hardly reasonable to expect him to snap his fingers and recreate the magical cast chemistry, iconic music, political timeliness, and endless quotability that...

Fans are pretty concerned about the well-being of former Man v. Food host Adam Richman after he posted a cryptic update about his ongoing health issues. The foodie and sushi chef, who hosted the Travel Channel show from 2008 until 2012, shared a concerning message on his Instagram feed Friday (May 23), asking fans and followers for prayers as he undergoes a second surgery for a mystery condition. “Hello beautiful people. Don’t want to scare anyone like last time, so just want to be ultra clear- Today is surgery number two. And because nobody knows the future, I just wanted to once again tell all those who have been so kind and supportive of me & the shows I make and have made, I am forever grateful & love you all so much,” Richman wrote. “If I’m granted the opportunity to come out of this, I promise I’ll continue to work my...

Just when you think coming-of-age animated series “Big Mouth” on Netflix couldn’t be any raunchier, co-creator and star Nick Kroll reveals the time that he and his cohorts realized they probably went too far.

“Maury [Kroll] was allowed to have sex with the decapitated skull of Garrison Keillor, and this was before Keillor went down, mind you, and [Netflix] still let that go,” Kroll told me Thursday at the show’s series finale premiere at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. (Minnesota Public Radio cut ties with Keillor in 2017 after an investigation found he had engaged in dozens of sexually inappropriate incidents over many years.

Paramount+ is going all-in on its critically acclaimed British crime drama “MobLand.”

Revealed to Variety exclusively, the company is launching an ambitious Emmy campaign that surprisingly places both Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan in the running for lead drama actor. The decision to push Brosnan as a co-lead — rather than a supporting contender as many had assumed — is one of several surprising moves in the streamer’s Emmy strategy.

Helen Mirren, meanwhile, will compete for supporting drama actress, avoiding a head-to-head clash with her own work in “1923,” Taylor Sheridan’s Western drama, where she is considered a possible contender for lead drama actress.

Peak TV may be over, but it’s still Peak FYC for quite a few players both in front of and behind the camera. Because we’re no longer in the era of 22-episode seasons — once the rule, now the exception — the idea of exclusivity has been thrown out the door. That’s why you keep seeing your favorite actors all over your TV screens, as there seems to be no stopping of some stars’ work ethic.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for Vol. 4 of “Love, Death + Robots,” now streaming on Netflix.

Netflix’s Emmy-winning animated anthology series “Love, Death + Robots” is back for a fourth outing – and this balls-to-the-wall collection of short films is more outrageous than ever.

Whether it’s a mockumentary about fed-up smart devices, a demon attack on unsuspecting WW2 soldiers or a strings-attached Red Hot Chili Peppers concert, the series’ signature bleeding-edge animation coupled with smartly-adapted short stories makes for an unforgettable new batch of tales.

Ahead of Volume 4’s premiere, several creatives behind the series sat down with...

It’s time to take another walk down Fear Street.The hit trilogy of horror films started and concluded in 2021, with all three installments landing at Netflix in consecutive weeks. Now Fear Street: Prom Queen will bring us back to the dark heart of Shadyside with a stand-alone movie.

Five years ago, “Billions” actor Asia Kate Dillon wrote an impassioned letter in Variety, calling for the SAG-AFTRA committee to eliminate gendered acting categories after being asked to take part in their motion picture nominating category.

As a non-binary actor, Dillon had previously felt alienated by the Emmys and that org’s binary gender distinctions when submitting for “Billions” in 2017 — a distinction they labeled a “false dichotomy.” Dillon ended up not submitting at all for the 2023 Tonys when appearing in “Macbeth” on Broadway alongside Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga.

It’s a recent pattern seen with other non-binary actors in the awards conversation,...

We always enjoy watching Charlie Cale crack a case on Poker Face… but we worry for her safety, too.

But in doing so, Charlie often puts herself in harm’s way, confronting the killer and explaining how she figured out they did it in great detail… all by herself, without any weapon or backup to protect her.

That’s his character’s name on Apple TV+’s Hollywood satire “The Studio,” and in Episode 8, Sal becomes a bit of a running joke in the middle of the Golden Globes. As the faux version of that kudofest proceeds, a running joke erupts where everyone on stage thanks “Sal Saperstein,” even though they don’t know who the hell he is.

Billy Joel has revealed he’s been diagnosed with a brain disorder and will be canceling several upcoming engagements as a result of the medical issue.

This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance,” the statement began. “Under his doctor’s instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health. He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage.” Additionally,...

When Boden (Eamonn Walker) left at the end of Season 12, he wanted Herrmann (David Eigenberg) to fill the hole left at 51. And Herrmann certainly has done that just with who he is, but the assumption was he’d be the next chief. Chicago Fire Season 13 even saw him taking the steps to do so, including becoming captain and planning to take the chief test, after Dermot Mulroney came in as Dom Pascal to lead the firehouse. But that all changed in the finale. Pascal had been questioning if Herrmann wanted to be chief, and it turned out he was right to do so. In the finale, Herrmann revealed to Mouch (Christian Stolte) that not only was he not going to be chief, he was also stepping down to be a regular firefighter again so his friend could be lieutenant on engine. Showrunner Andrea Newman told TV Insider that Herrmann came...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Overcompensating Season 1.] Overcompensating’s first season goes out with a jaw-dropping bang. A chaotic college party at Yates University turns into an emotional battleground for Benny (Benito Skinner) and his best friend, Carmen (Wally Baram). Benny spends Season 1, out now, navigating his queerness and figuring out how to come out after portraying a straight façade to his friends and family. His coming out journey is derailed when he stumbles upon Carmen kissing his crush, Miles (Rish Shah), at the party.

Benito Skinner and Wally Baram spoke with TV Insider about that shocking Season 1 ending and what it means for Benny and Carmen’s friendship. “I think my thing is that it’s still a college show, and I think I was like, this feels real and messy and honest and, also,...

A new era begins on the red clay courts of Roland-Garros in Paris. Rafael Nadal, 14-time champion at the French Open, has retired, leaving the door open for the next great tennis king of France. In the men’s draw, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz enters with strong momentum, having secured titles in Monte Carlo and Rome. His path to the final appears favorable, potentially avoiding top contenders like Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner until the later rounds. Sinner, currently ranked world No. 1, faces a challenging route, including a possible quarterfinal clash with Jack Draper. On the women’s side, No. 5 seed Iga Świątek (pictured above) aims for a fourth consecutive French Open title. Świątek’s draw includes formidable opponents such as Emma Raducanu and Aryna Sabalenka, the latter seeking her first Roland-Garros final appearance and entering the tournament as the No. 1 seed.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for the Survivor Season 48 finale.] Survivor 48 became a battle between the public and secret alliances that controlled the game’s trajectory from start to finish. Joe Hunter and Eva Erickson had a strong majority alliance with Shauhin Davari and Kyle Fraser and others throughout the season, but no one knew that Kyle and Kamilla Karthigesu were meeting in secret to influence group decisions. Kyle concocted a plan to weaken this majority alliance and increase both his and Kamilla’s chances of winning the title of Sole Survivor, and the plan worked. Kyle, Kamilla, Joe, and Eva made up Survivor 48’s final four. When Kamilla lost at fire to Eva, Kyle had to prove to reveal his and Kamilla’s secret moves to the jury in order to win. Even though Kamilla was now in the jury, he still had to make clear how his individual game differentiated from hers. This was the...

Bo Brady’s storyline on Days of our Lives kicked back into gear on May 23, and his portrayer, Peter Reckell, couldn’t be happier to be visiting Salem again. “There’s so many different levels to it,” begins Reckell, who last appeared in 2023. “The first thing that I think about is that I grew up in a family with six kids, and once I left home, coming back for holidays or whatever, you just pick up as if it was just another day at home, and it all works.

If you tuned in with hopes of catching a new episode of The View live on Friday (May 23), you’re out of luck. The show has gone on a temporary break for the Memorial Day weekend, with cohosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin enjoying a few days off for vacation celebrations. Instead of airing a new live episode, Friday’s timeslot features a rebroadcast of the Friday, May 2, episode in which actors Kerry Washington and Omar Sy appeared on air to promote their new action movie, Shadow Force, and the subject of the upcoming Desperate Housewives revival, Wisteria Lane, came up. About the new iteration, Washington said, “It’s inspired [by Desperate Housewives]. I can’t say too much — it’s very newly announced, it’s in development. … The idea is that it’s new times, there’s new challenges, it’s like,...

A ‘list it’s stealer maybe – but I’m working on that!

After a seven-year hiatus, Mel B. is back on America’s Got Talent for Season 20. Earlier this month, the Spice Girls singer revealed on the Today show that she “got kind of laid off and fired” from the show, and confirms to TV Insider, “Simon [Cowell] fired me!
