Exclusive: Fake Empire duo Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, best known for guiding Gossip Girl, have struck a first-look TV deal with Amazon MGM Studios and set up a luxurious new drama series.

The pair have struck a two-year deal with the company, which they are already in business with on a number of projects including Sterling Point, a drama from My Old Ass writer/director Megan Park and LuckyChap.

They have set their first project under the new deal – a drama set in Barneys New York.

The untitled series is set when Barneys reopens its doors in Manhattan, and the fashion elite and behind-the-scenes staff collide in a whirlwind of ambition, secrets, and style.

Barneys was a New York institution; a high-end department store that was founded in 1923. After being acquired by Authentic Brands Group, it closed its brick-and-mortars stores but remained as a brand, particularly as a partnership...

Mischa Barton had that early-2000s glow—fresh, trendy, and suddenly everywhere. We first saw her as the spooky little girl in The Sixth Sense, but it was The O.C. that truly made her a star. As Marissa Cooper, she became the teen drama royalty. She had the perfect look, amazing style, and unforgettable moments on the show.

But not everything was as shiny as it seemed. By 2006, just three seasons into the hit show, Barton made a surprising exit. It felt sudden, like the story stopped mid-sentence. Fans were left wondering why. Behind the glam and red carpets, she was under real pressure. Her quiet departure hinted that life behind the camera was a lot more complicated than anyone knew. Fame looked fun, but for Barton, it came with a storm she hadn’t signed up for.

Exclusive: Willa Holland (Arrow) and Paul Sparks (House of Cards) will lead The Mortuary Assistant, a feature adaptation of the bestselling horror video game created by Brian Clarke, which is currently in production in Missouri.

Hailing from Epic Pictures and its specialty horror label Dread, The Mortuary Assistant centers on Rebecca Owens, a recent mortuary science graduate who takes a night shift job at River Fields Mortuary. Initially, the job seems straightforward — embalming bodies, completing paperwork, and keeping things tidy. But once Rebecca starts working the night shift, things take a dark turn.

Holland plays Rebecca, the young woman confronting terrifying supernatural forces, with Sparks as Raymond Delver, Rebecca’s mysterious mortician boss, who appears to be a mentor, but also a potential threat. Directed by Jeremiah Kipp, the film is billed as a new chapter in the story that will expand on the game’s world and mythology, delving...

Adam Brody is coming back to the O.C. — Newport Beach, specifically.

The inaugural Newport Beach TV Fest will honor the alum of the beloved early-aughts teen drama series The O.C. with the fest’s TV Performance of the Year Award (Actor) in recognition of his widely-acclaimed turn as a rabbi dating a gentile on Netflix’s hit 2024 comedy series Nobody Wants This.

The award will be presented to Brody immediately following a live recording of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast — moderated by yours truly and featuring a career-retrospective conversation — which will kick off at 7pm on Friday, June 6, at Newport Beach’s Lido Theater.

Image Source: Paramount Pictures It’s shaping up to be a notable year for the iconic 1995 comedy Clueless. The film will celebrate its 30th anniversary later this summer, and as Cher Horowitz would famously say, “As If!” Since its release, Clueless has cultivated a dedicated fanbase and continues to find new audiences through home entertainment and streaming. While a Clueless television series did air from 1996 to 1999, it notably did not feature the film’s star, Alicia Silverstone, as Cher. However, nearly three decades later, Silverstone is set to return to the role of the beloved Beverly Hills high schooler. According to a report from Variety, a sequel series is in development for Peacock, brought to you by the creative minds behind hit shows like The Oc, Gossip Girl, and Dollface. Silverstone will not only star but also serve as an executive producer on the project. Alicia Silverstone’s portrayal of...

Whenever beloved movies or shows are announced to be getting the reboot, remake, or revival treatment, there are always the understandable groans. No one wants to see their favorite piece of media potentially ruined by companies rolling them back out for a quick money grab. But sometimes, you hear about a revival that just has you unbelievably excited, which brings us to...

Clueless staging a comeback in the form of a sequel series at Peacock! I know, I know, I was skeptical at first when Deadline broke the news, but the more and more I heard about the show, the more I realized this was the iteration of a reboot/revival that we deserve and need. Not only are the creators of Gossip Girl, Josh Schwartz (who also created The O.C.) and Stephanie Savage on board, but Clueless star Alicia Silverstone will be back to reprise her role as Cher Horowitz!

Today's news has got fans of Amy Heckerling's coming-of-age masterpiece "Clueless" waffling between totally freaking and totally bugging, because according to Variety, the Peacock streaming service is currently developing a sequel series with star Alicia Silverstone set to reprise her role as Cher Horowitz. 

If this sounds like old news, it's because you're probably thinking of a different Peacock "Clueless" series that was announced back in 2020 and slated to star Stacey Dash, reviving her role as Cher's ride-or-die bestie Dionne. Well, that series is no longer happening, and this series currently has Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage attached to write, along with Jordan Weiss. The trio will executive produce alongside Silverstone, and they'll be joined by the original film's producer, Robert Lawrence, and writer/director Heckerling as executive producers as well.

The original "Clueless" was initially envisioned as a television show before becoming one of the most successful...

Alicia Silverstone will reprise her iconic “Clueless” role of Cher Horowitz for a TV series based on the classic 1990s film, TheWrap has learned. She is also attached to executive produce the follow-up, along with Amy Heckerling, who directed and wrote the 1995 comedy, and producer Robert Lawrence.

It’s being developed by CBS Studios in association with Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, for Peacock.

Writers and executive producers on the series are Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage through their Fake Empire banner. They previously teamed on “The O.C.” and “Gossip Girl.”

Jordan Weiss, who created the Kat Dennings Hulu series “Dollface” and scripted upcoming Disney sequel “Freakier Friday,” will also serve as writer and EP. She was also a writer on the Max animated series “Harley Quinn” and directed and co-wrote 2024’s holiday romcom “Sweethearts,” which starred Kiernan Shipka.

A short-lived 1990s TV series based on “Clueless,...

Did you really think they would try to make another Clueless TV show without Alicia Silverstone? As if!

Silverstone is attached to reprise her role as Cher Horowitz in a sequel series to the classic 1995 teen comedy in development at Peacock, our sister site Variety reports. The show will serve as a follow-up to the Clueless film, catching up with Cher 30 years later.

Cher Horowitz may be on her way back to the screen.

Peacock is developing a follow-up series to Clueless, with Alicia Silverstone attached to reprise her iconic role as Cher. She’ll also be an executive producer of the project, which comes from writers Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage (Gossip Girl, The O.C.) and Jordan Weiss (Freakier Friday). Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the 1995 film, and its producer Robert Lawrence are also EPs.

CBS Studios, which owns rights to Clueless — corporate sibling Paramount Pictures released the movie — and Universal Television are producing. Other than Silverstone once again playing Cher, story details are being kept quiet.

The current iteration of Clueless is not related to another take on the story that Peacock began developing in 2020 — and scuttled nine months later. That show had a mystery-fueled plot that centered on Cher disappearing and her best friend Dionne (played by Stacey Dash in the movie) investigating what happened.

Alicia Silverstone is attached to reprise the role of Cher Horowitz in a “Clueless” sequel series at Peacock, Variety has learned.

The show is currently in development. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps aside from the fact the show will serve as a follow-up to the cult classic film.

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are attached to write along with Jordan Weiss. All three will executive produce, with Schwartz and Savage doing so under their Fake Empire banner. Silverstone will executive produce in addition to starring. Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the film, and Robert Lawrence, who produced the film, also serve as executive producers. CBS Studios will produce in association with Universal Television.

This is a wholly new “Clueless” series than the one that had been set up at Peacock in 2020 but ultimately did not go forward. That show, with a completely different creative team, was...

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants cast almost looked very different!

Blake Lively, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn played best friends united by a pair of pants that followed them on huge adventures in two movies starting back in 2005.

The women are still supporting each other in 2024. In fact, America, Amber and Alexis recently issued a statement in support of Blake amid her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

They are part of what made the franchise as successful as it is, but we’ve learned that several other big actresses were in the running for the roles.

Producer Debra Martin Chase named six stars who were could have played Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget during an appearance on the Hollywood Gold podcast.

The shortlist included one actress who was famous for her role on The O.C. and several other young actresses who have gone far in Hollywood. Debra shared...

Fans still love The O.C. after all these years!

The hit teen drama – starring Ben McKenzie, Mischa Barton, Adam Brody, Rachel Bilson, Peter Gallagher, Kelly Rowan, Melinda Clarke, Alan Dale, Autumn Reeser, Willa Holland, and Chris Carmack – ran for four seasons from 2003 to 2007 on Fox.

Just recently, Alan Sepinwall published his new book titled Welcome to the O.C.: The Oral History in which creator Josh Schwartz, executive producer Stephanie Savage, and several cast members shared some behind-the-scenes secrets from the show.

It is not a new thing for members of the Star Trek cast to step behind the camera and take on directing duties for some episodes. Who better than the only ones to feature in every episode to take over the reins sometimes? Actors like Jonathan Frakes and LeVar Burton have directed the most number of Star Trek episodes even after their shows ended.

However, one actress who transitioned into directing and has made it her bread and butter (much like Frakes) is Voyager’s Roxann Dawson. Dawson played B’Elanna Torres in the spinoff show and directed two episodes of the series later. She has since been the guiding force for some of the best network shows of the past few decades.

In response to her felony assault arrest last weekend, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has decided not to file charges against actress Kim Delaney, citing a lack of evidence.

On Saturday, March 29, Delaney was arrested alongside her partner, James Morgan, after law enforcement arrived at her home in response to a domestic disturbance call. Upon arrival at the residence around 10:00 a.m. local time, officers assessed the situation, noting that Delaney and Morgan allegedly got into a “heated argument that turned physical,” according to TMZ.

At the time, Delaney was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon while Morgan was arrested for domestic violence, per a spokesperson for the Marina Del Rey Sherriff’s Station, as reported by People. Morgan was said to have been arrested about a half an hour before Delaney by the Lasd, but was later released after paying bail.

Twilight fans never miss an opportunity to return to Forks, and Netflix decided that it will make revisiting Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) a lot easier for its subscribers. Today, the streamer announced that all five movies of The Twilight Saga are coming to the catalog. And you will be able to sit down and binge-watch them sooner rather than later: the movies will become available on May 1.

At this point, most of us know the story of Bella Swan by heart. The teenage girl goes to Washington to live with her father and enrolls in a new school in which she has a hard time adjusting. However, she is instantly taken by Edward Cullen, whose peculiar behavior around her starts grabbing her attention. After the duo falls in love, Bella discovers that Edward is a vampire, and they decide to be together even though...

NYPD Blue alum Kim Delaney was arrested on Saturday on a charge of felony assault after an alleged domestic disturbance.

At 10:15 a.m. on March 29 in Los Angeles, Delaney, 63, was arrested following a “heated argument that turned physical” with her husband, fellow actor James Morgan. Paramedics arrived at the scene to treat any potential injuries either party might have before both Delaney and Morgan were taken into custody.

According to a spokesperson for the Marina Del Rey Sheriff’e Station, Delaney was charged with felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury, while Morgan was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence. Morgan posted bail for $20,000, while Delaney did not seem to qualify.

In 2011, Delany was escorted off stage after giving an incoherent speech at an award ceremony honoring then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates. She was also sued for a November 2022 hit-and-run.

Chicago Fire has cycled through multiple actors over the years. There are a lot of members of the family, which should come as no surprise given that the show has been on the air for 13 seasons. Unfortunately, one such alum run afoul of the law on Saturday, March 29.

Kim Delaney has been arrested and charged with felony assault. TMZ reports that the actress was taken into custody by LAPD following a domestic dispute with her partner, James Morgan.

Netflix's hit comedy, the Adam Brody and Kristen Bell-starring Nobody Wants This, is well into production on the series' second installment. And, given the popularity of the "loosely based on a true story" tale from Erin Foster, it's probably no surprise to anyone that the streaming service is eyeing an Asap release date for Season 2. With production slated to wrap in April of this year, it seems as though a primetime, fall release date is a given for the popular series.

According to the blog What's On Netflix, the streamer is allegedly eyeing an October 2025 premiere date for the show's second season. Which will no doubt be music to the ears of the users who helped contribute to Nobody Wants This amassing approximately 56.8 million views in 2024 alone. While Netflix has yet to confirm anything, we would not be surprised if it makes all of this official when they...

It has been well over two years since “Magazine Dreams” made its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. Following its premiere, the movie received largely mixed reviews but most critics were quick to heap praise on the performance given by its star, Jonathan Majors. It was subsequently picked up by Searchlight Pictures, which originally slated it to be released on December 8, 2023 — likely targeting a potential awards campaign for Majors.

The actor was caught up, however, in a domestic assault scandal in March 2023 that tarnished his previously shining, fast-rising star profile. Searchlight later dropped “Magazine Dreams,” reportedly due to both Majors’ assault case and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Briarcliff Entertainment has since acquired the film’s distribution rights, though, and it is now on the verge of finally being released.

Here is where, when and how you can watch “Magazine Dreams.”

Netflix is taking the multiverse trend to wild new heights, reuniting Gossip Girl icons Penn Badgley and Kristen Bell, but with a dark twist. This time, they’re tangled in a mind-bending story that flips their Gossip Girl dynamic on its head.

Like it or not, 2025 is rapidly becoming the Year of the Freak Accident.

In horror, everybody from audiences who loved “The Monkey” to that very flammable fellow in “The Rule of Jenny Pen” is feeling it. But there’s even more to come when “Final Destination” — the genre’s most criminally underrated supernatural franchise — returns with scads more not-so-accidental deaths on May 16.

The aughts used to get a bad rap in pop culture, but that’s improved somewhat in recent years. As filmmakers have released their death-grip obsession on the ’80s, familiar faces and franchises from throughout the 2000s have reemerged across all types of movies and TV. Right now, for example, you can see the forty-something “Veronica Mars” dating that forty-something guy from “The O.C.” in a rom-com on Netflix that’s been wildly popular — in spite of the title “Nobody Wants This.”

When it comes to nostalgia for aughts-era nightmares,...

While the role of Hannah Montana is now known as the role that launched the career of superstar Miley Cyrus, in another reality, it would have been the big breakout role of Pretty Little Liars starLucy Hale. From the mid-2000s to the early 2010s, the names Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus were inescapable as they were a cultural phenomenon. After 17 years, Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert still remains the highest-grossing Super Bowl weekend opening and Hannah Montana: The Movie grossed $155 million worldwide in 2009. It is hard to imagine anyone else in the role of Hannah Montana, but it turns out the role could have been very different if she had looked like Katy Keene's star.

During BuzzFeed’s The Puppy Interview, Hale revealed many of the high-profile projects he auditioned for over the years, including Pitch Perfect, 50 Shades of Grey, and even recently,...

One of Netflix's biggest hit original series in recent years is "Outer Banks," which premiered in 2020 and ran for five seasons. Set in the scenic beach towns of North Carolina, the series blended coming-of-age drama, along with romance and action, elevated by its young, charismatic main cast. "Outer Banks" reinvigorated teen dramas and thrillers, but the genre has been a television staple for decades. With that in mind, there are countless shows like "Outer Banks" for fans looking to find the series' effective soap operatic stakes elsewhere.

From shows set in other picturesque locations around the country or featuring cool, stylish characters in a cycle of love and betrayal, there are plenty of teen dramas to watch. What links these series are young, impossibly beautiful main characters, often thrust into melodramatic storylines that grow increasingly ludicrous. For fans of the genre, they wouldn't have these teen and young adult shows any other way.

Can you imagine The O.C. without Ben McKenzie and Mischa Barton?!

Back in 2021, former The O.C. co-stars Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke, who played Summer Roberts and Julie Cooper respectively, launched their brand new podcast, Welcome to The O.C., Bitches.

On the podcast’s first episode, the ladies were joined by the show’s creator Josh Schwartz.

During their conversation, Josh talked about the show’s casting process, revealing that Ben and Misha weren’t the top choices to play Ryan Atwood and Marissa Cooper, before sharing which other actors were also up for those parts.

The 2025 award season is off to a glamorous start, with two of the biggest events, like the Golden Globes in January and the Grammys in February, already setting social media on fire.

This year, some pairs didn’t just walk the red carpet—they absolutely owned it. From breathtaking outfits to undeniable chemistry, these couples turned heads and stole the show. Let’s take a...

George Lucas changed cinema forever with "Star Wars." He didn't just alter the medium in terms of franchising, but he also pushed the limits of independent cinema and revolutionized everything from visual effects to digital editing, sound design, and filming. But you already know that, right? 

What you may not know, however, is that Lucas frequently made appearances in non-"Star Wars" movies and TV shows throughout his career. For example, the now-retired filmmaker once cameoed in his buddy Steven Spielberg's Peter Pan film "Hook," specifically in a scene where he makes out with Carrie Fisher. (!) Lucas also played a small role in "Beverly Hills Cop III" (sharing the screen with Christina Venuti) and even showed up in an episode of "The O.C." once.

Of course, "Star Wars" fans are aware that Lucas similarly popped up in "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith." In that case,...

Ke Huy Quan‘s leading debut with Love Hurts may not have blazed as hot as his comeback in Everything, Everywhere All at Once, but it’s certainly the type of throwback movie that is rarely seen nowadays. It’s a simple, fun, goofy little action comedy that’s brisk enough for an entertaining casual viewing and it doesn’t try to be anything more. Quan’s charm and his action prowess really come through and it’s cool to see him step up into the lead role.

Love Hurts is set to have a collector’s edition 4K Blu-ray release courtesy of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, according to Blu-ray.com. While Love Hurts didn’t make a big splash at the box office, you can catch the movie on physical media with a bunch of special features, including a bevy of deleted and alternate scenes. Love Hurts stars Ke Huy Quan,...

The Fox Broadcasting Network is set to expand in 2025. According to CEO Lachlan Murdoch, the company plans to launch a brand-new streaming service.

If everything surrounding the highly anticipated launch goes to plan, the newly minted streaming service will be available at the start of the NFL and college football seasons. Speaking at Morgan Stanley's Technology, Media and Telecom conference via The Wrap, Murdoch said that "the aspiration" is for the platform to hit the "mid-single digit millions of subscribers range."

Culkin said he only realized the similarity between Benji and the person he based him on, a year after filming the movie.

Murdoch discussed the company's latest streaming venture during a recent earnings call. The CEO revealed that prices will be "relatively low," with the service featuring content from Fox's existing shows and brands.

Following the boom of streaming services in the last decade, viewers are often overwhelmed with options for watching TV. Max, Netflix, and Hulu, among others, have dozens of incredible shows perfect for binge-watching, from Game of Thrones to Breaking Bad to Stranger Things and everything in between. Binge-watching culture has become central to television, and keeping audiences hooked to the "Next Episode" button is an art in itself.

This has influenced the narrative and episodic structure of TV, and many series prove why this release model can be so effective: it plays with expectations, setting cliffhangers along the way or simply giving a feel-good vibe to the viewers. Even more enticingly, every genre imaginable, from romance to drama to horror, has innumerable shows available for a TV marathon. As a result, all current streaming services boast some of the best shows to binge-watch ever, but which ones are truly the best binges on TV?...

In the first few years of the millennium, studios were finally getting hip to the fact that superhero movies, done in a comic-accurate way, could be big at the box office. Bryan Singer’s X-Men opened the door, but it was Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man that made the genre a no-brainer. One studio that was eager to get in on the comic book movie action was 20th Century Fox, which produced X-Men. They managed to get the rights to one of Marvel’s most enduring superheroes, Daredevil, producing a film that was solid, if unspectacular, when it came out on Valentine’s Day in 2003. The movie marked Ben Affleck’s first outing as a superhero and proved divisive among fans. Some say it’s underrated, while others say it’s dated garbage. Who’s right? Let’s find out Wtf Happened to Daredevil.

Eric Mabius has been arrested for alleged battery in Nassau County, Florida.

The Ugly Betty actor was arrested just after 2am in the early hours of Thursday morning before he was booked at Nassau County Jail and Detention Center at 5:45am on two misdemeanor charges.

He’s facing a battery charge and resisting arrest without violence, both misdemeanors for which he is awaiting trial. In a mugshot, Mabius sports a black eye.

Leighton Meester and Miles Fowler are joining the cast of Nobody Wants This when the show returns for Season 2 on Netflix.

Meester will share credits with her real-life husband, Adam Brody. The Gossip Girl alum will play Abby, who the streamer describes as Joanne’s (Bell) “middle school nemesis” who cross paths now as adults.

Fowler is set to guest star as Noah’s (Brody) basketball teammate, who gets set up with Joanne’s sister Morgan, played by Justine Lupe.
