Dan Harmon Teases ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 5, Says It’s More on Schedule Than Ever
The length of time between seasons of Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty” has been something of a running joke among fans. It was, for example, nearly two and a half years between Season 3 and Season 4, which finished its run in May this year. As we wait for a whole lot more to come from Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, whose beloved series has many episodes remaining as part of a package deal with Cartoon Network, they’re also here to reassure fans that it’s coming soon.

As reported by Syfy Wire out of a PaleyFest virtual conversation, Harmon said that despite Covid’s impact on the industry and digital workflow Season 5 is fully on schedule and has actually benefited from production setbacks.

“We’re more on schedule than we’ve ever been,” he said, adding that it’s easier to get the animated “Rick and Morty” off the

“There’s a story being concocted,” Kidman added. “Our group of women all want to do it. It’s more the kernel of ideas that just need to be solidified.”

Kidman revealed earlier this month in an interview with Marie Claire that the cast and crew of “Big Little Lies” were looking forward to working together again on a new season. The actress said,

The Undoing Recap: Grace Under Fire — Plus, Grade the Premiere!
Your Moulin Rouge-adoring mind was not playing tricks on you: That was indeed Undoing star and exec producer Nicole Kidman singing a cover of “Dream a Little Dream of Me” in the HBO limited series’ opening title sequence.

The song choice is, of course, drenched in irony given the David E. Kelley-penned thriller’s dark premise and, you know, foreboding title. But for the first half of Sunday’s premiere, Kidman’s moneyed Manhattanite Grace Fraser was living something of a fantasy life, even if director Susanne Bier’s haunting vision of New York in winter foreshadowed the nightmare to come.

CNN Could Face New Era Without Jeff Zucker

CNN Could Face New Era Without Jeff Zucker
Jason Kilar sat in a darkened conference room in 2007, telling anyone who came to visit about the wonders of a new video-on-demand service called Hulu. Kilar was the outlet’s first CEO, and the room in which he was perched stood in the headquarters of NBCUniversal, one of Hulu’s two original co-owners. Another worker in that building was Jeff Zucker, then the CEO of NBCU, and someone who helped spur Kilar’s early journey.

Now it is Kilar who may have influence on Zucker’s future steps.

After losing the NBCU job once Comcast took control of that company,
