Some breaking news from Westeros: The Game of Thrones prequel series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has added a major talent from Black Mirror to serve as its debut season’s lead director, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Owen Harris has boarded the HBO drama as an executive producer and will also direct the first three episodes, establishing the directorial vision for the series. Harris is best known for helming two of Black Mirror‘s finest episodes — “Be Right Back” and the widely acclaimed “San Junipero.”
In addition, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ episode count has now been revealed: The first season will be six episodes, making for a tighter opener than the 10-episode first seasons of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. The run time seems appropriate given Knight is an adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s 160-page novella The Hedge Knight rather than one of his 900-page epic novels.

“Let It Be,” the legendary 1970 Beatles documentary that has been out of circulation since the ’80s, is now streaming on Disney+ in a new restoration by Peter Jackson and his Park Road Post Production. This long-lost Beatles artifact, which inspired Jackson to dig deeper with his Emmy-winning “The Beatles: Get Back” docuseries, captures director Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s fly-on-the-wall snapshot of the Fab Four’s creatively productive yet tense studio sessions for their final two albums — “Let It Be” and “Abbey Road” — followed by their joyous rooftop concert at Apple Corps headquarters.
“Peter’s a Beatles fan par excellence and, through his investigation [for ‘Get Back’], he ended up with this wonderful giant’s mood of a movie because he had the time to do it,” Lindsay-Hogg told IndieWire. “And also because he was a great tinkerer as well, he was able to come up with visual things and audio things that...

One of the best recent rule changes the Television Academy recently made was the 2020 decision to expand the Drama and Comedy series categories to include eight nominees, regardless of the number of entries. But if the goal of the Primetime Emmys is to be reflective of the shows that most engaged viewers and voters alike throughout the TV season, it needs to now go one step further. The TV Academy needs to expand the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series category to eight nominees as well.
In the decade since they have re-split the Limited Series and TV Movie categories there have been plenty of winners that were a cultural moment, from “The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story” to “Big Little Lies” to “Watchmen,” but these event series were not as common an occurrence. Then the Covid-19 pandemic happened, an event that has had ramifications to the television schedule still present today.

Tyler said Season 17, premiering Thursday, June 16 on Paramount+ with its first two episodes of 10, is such a standout because, “It’s in the fact that we moved to streaming, and we’re able to be more authentic and more grounded and more gritty… And the show is longer, so we’re able to spend more time in the emotional moments and also in the horror moments. The episodes this season have been extraordinary.” Tyler returns to the director’s chair for Episode 7, “which is an absolute doozy,...

King assured the committee that the streamer took “every reasonable precaution in disguising the real-life identities of the people involved in that story.” As pointed out by John Nicolson, a Scottish National Party MP on the Culture,...

Despite the implication, the show, which will stream on Peacock, won't be set in Pennsylvania once more.

It’s always been incredibly difficult to make a steady living in entertainment. This remains true to this day — as Hollywood weathers industry-wide contractions in the post-peak TV era, many gig workers, including producers, actors, and writers, are struggling to get by. In such a competitive industry, it’s easy to understand why people might jump at an invitation to work on major projects without taking a beat to vet the opportunities first.
In 2018, investigative journalist Scott Johnson at The Hollywood Reporter broke the unbelievable story of the “Hollywood Con Queen,” a scammer who allegedly targeted hundreds of entertainment industry gig workers for years. The Con Queen reportedly would impersonate high-profile, primarily female Hollywood executives and lure victims to Jakarta under the guise of working on major projects.

Busy Philipps was heartbroken when Busy Tonight ended in 2019 after less than a year. Deep down the star knew it wasn’t the end of her late-night hosting run. She just needed the right opportunity. Fast forward to today, and Philipps is gearing up to host her new late-night talk show Busy This Week on QVC+. The first 10 episodes will be released weekly on Wednesdays with four holiday-themed episodes set to premiere in November and December. She’ll bring the fun to each episode with trademark takes and conversations with celebrity guests. And it wouldn’t be QVC without personalized retail recommendations and shoppable finds. For Philipps, it’s another chance to bring a female voice to a male-dominated space within the entertainment space. The actress plans to tackle topics important to women, and in some cases, may not otherwise get discussed elsewhere. Here Philipps tells us what to expect...

A new mockumentary series set in the world of “The Office” is not only being developed — but was just picked up by Peacock. “The Office” creator Greg Daniels and “Nathan for You” co-creator Michael Koman’s untitled project has been ordered to series, produced by Utv.
The untitled Daniels/Koman project will star Irish film star Domhnall Gleeson and “The White Lotus” Season 2 breakout Sabrina Impacciatore, as well as an ensemble cast that has yet to be announced. According to a press release from Peacock, the documentary crew behind “The Office” (who stepped out from behind the camera in controversial later seasons) is back to work looking for a new subject, “when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.” Like Dunder Mifflin’s struggle with selling paper in the digital age, the series’ synopsis suggests that it will tackle the...

For anyone wondering whether that was the real Bob Dylan who called into John Mulaney’s Netflix talk show last night: It wasn’t.
Tuesday night marked the third of six installments for Everybody’s in L.A., Mulaney’s very live, very loose, late-night-esque show. One of the standout elements of the format so far is when Mulaney takes viewer phone calls. Anything can happen on those calls, but last night yielded a most unexpected guest.
Sounding off on the episode’s call-in topic of helicopters, a twangy-voiced “Bob in Malibu” complained, “They spook my horses.”
“Bob, what’s your full name?” Mulaney eventually asked.
“Bob Dylan. I’m a recording artist for Columbia,” the caller replied.
No, that wasn't the real Bob Dylan who called into #everybodysinLA with @Mulaney last night. It was SNL's James Austin Johnson (aka @shrimpJAJ). Full story: https://t.co/jIDACSW2fD pic.

Is Maya Rudolph actually the longest-running Saturday Night Live cast member? The just-released promo for her SNL hosting gig this weekend certainly makes that case.
The clip opens with Chloe Troast walking down the hallway at SNL’s offices with fellow cast member Andrew Dismukes, asking him if he’s excited for summer. (He’s got plans.)
But the pair are taken aback when they hear laughter spilling out from behind a closet door.
When they open it, they’re shocked to discover Maya Rudolph, dressed in colonial garb and eating porridge.
“I’ve been in here since 2007,” she explains. “I never left.”
“You’ve been here for 17 years?” Dismuskes asks.

Both broadly and specifically, “Dark Matter” is a TV series made with me in mind — or, at the very least, a version of me that could exist. Speaking generally, the Apple drama asks big questions about how the choices we make come to define who we are: Would I be different today if I had pursued a different career, married a different woman, or raised a different family? In small ways — the stuff of daydreams — the answer is, “Yes, of course, I’d be different.” In a different job, I wouldn’t be writing these words right now because I’d be napping in a hammock off the coast of Ireland, as a professional hammock tester specializing in cold weather climates. But aside from changes in what I’d be doing, what about who I am? Would a new profession, or a new partner, or a new home-life alter my personality?...

For just the second time in show history, a catfish contestant has won The Circle. This time, it’s Brandon Baker, who e-cosplayed as Olivia, a variation of his real-life coworker, throughout the entire run of the social media competition and emerged victorious. Though Brandon as Olivia started out with some serious doubters, including Season 6’s instant frontrunner Myles who wasn’t sold on the blasé persona, he made some very smart moves right up until the very end. Some of the stars aligned as pure kismet — the fact that Olivia became Myles’ ride or die was just a matter of math, but even then Brandon played it well by giving his word to Myles and honoring it where it counted. If Myles had a question mark looming over Olivia’s profile pic before that, it was completely gone after the ride-or-dies challenge. Soon after, Brandon’s alter ego won...

Chances are that even those uninitiated in the mind-boggling principles of quantum physics have heard of Schrödinger's Cat. In layman’s terms, the groundbreaking thought experiment demonstrated how tiny particles can exist in two states at once until they’re observed. If you put a cat in a box with something that could kill it, the cat is both dead and alive for as long as the box remains unopened.

Luke Kleintank may have left FBI: International, but as far as the Fly Team is concerned, their boss Scott Forrester didn’t have any plans to go anywhere. In fact, the latest episode doesn’t end with even the hint that he’s leaving; we only knew it was his last episode because it was reported to be. But now, the promo for the May 14 episode teases just how the CBS drama will handle his onscreen absence. Vo (Vinessa Vidotto) is the one to question where Scott is, and it turns out that he’s “gone dark.” But why? That’s unclear, but the team knows that if any of them went Mia, Scott would do anything to find them, and so that’s exactly what they’re doing. Watch the promo above for more, including an ending that has us concerned… In “Touts,” Kleintank’s final episode, the focus...

For the first time ever, Jimmy Kimmel will appear as a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers next Monday, May 13th.
Kimmel has plenty of projects to promote. In addition to Jimmy Kimmel Live, he’s an executive producer on the Hulu reality series High Times, and he’ll host the newly revived celebrity primetime edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire this summer.
