There are some team-ups that you just don’t expect. One of those is coming to Peacock, as The Miniature Wife finds its lead cast. This comedy series sounds like a blast.

There is little known about the series and the characters just yet. However, with the casting alone, this is sure to be a series to watch out for. Plus, Peacock does well with these types of comedy shows, offering something light in the midst of all the darker television that is out there.

Matthew Macfadyen is joined by Elizabeth Banks in The Miniature Wife

Succession star Matthew Macfadyen will join The Hunger Games actress Elizabeth Banks in the new Peacock show. They will lead the one-hour comedy series, which focuses on a power struggled between husband and wife when there’s a technical mishap. Yes, they are the husband and wife, and we can just see how it will all play out now.

Look what’s growing in the Garden State.

The Hollywood Reporter was on-site Tuesday morning when Netflix broke ground on its new East Coast home, Netflix Studios Fort Monmouth in central New Jersey. (Yes, there is a central New Jersey.) The gigantic renovation project — in which Netflix will turn a long-abandoned U.S. Army base into a dozen soundstages, a backlot, state-of-the-art postproduction facilities, general office space and basically 500,000 square feet of all things Netflix — was brought to you by one thing: tax credits.

You might want to take some notes here, California.

Before a wrecking ball even thrice ceremoniously slammed into some random, already-crumbling decommissioned military building (we were provided with hard hats, thank you for your concern), and before the pork roll, egg and cheese sandwiches were handed out to guests in attendance, including The Sopranos creator David Chase, Netflix had seven productions currently filming in New Jersey. In the coming years,...

"Wherever I go, the wind follows. And the wind... smells like rain."

After dropping a first look photo earlier today, the first official teaser trailer for Spider-Noir has found its way online, offering a sensational sneak peek at the upcoming Nicolas Cage-fronted series that is set to arrive on our small screens in 2026.

The synopsis reads, "Spider-Noir is a live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir. Spider-Noir tells the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero."

As per the official press release, the series will be available to watch in black and white and in color. It will debut domestically on MGM+, then launch globally on Prime Video the following day in over 240 countries and territories.

The main star cast features...

On May 2, Boardwalk Empire star Michael Pitt was charged with two counts of first-degree sexual abuse in addition to counts of strangulation in the second degree, assault with a blunt object and several other counts.

According to court records, four incidents allegedly occurred at Pitt’s home in Brooklyn between April 2020 and August 2021.

Pitt’s lawyer, Jason Goldman, said the situation is a sad reflection on our society.

“Unfortunately, we live in a world where somebody like Mr. Pitt — an accomplished professional who would never so much as contemplate these crimes — can be arrested on the uncorroborated word of an unreliable individual,” he said in a statement. “In reality, this baseless claim is suspiciously raised some four or five years after the alleged incident, from a time when the two parties were in a completely consensual relationship. We look forward to proving his innocence through the evidence and not through the media.

With the first Ironheart teaser expected to be released tomorrow and Superman's trailer confirmed for Wednesday, it's shaping up to be a busy week for news.

As for Monday, we're kicking things off with an official look at Nicolas Cage's Spider-Man in Amazon and MGM+'s Spider-Noir TV series.

The wall-crawling private investigator has already been spotted in set photos, but this spectacular black-and-white image is like seeing the comic books—and 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse—come to life in live-action.

Cage can be seen striking an iconic Spider-Man pose and will clearly be able to shoot webs in the show. Whether Spider-Noir can right the ship for Sony after disappointments like Madame Web, Morbius, and Kraven the Hunter remains to be seen.

It's interesting that this still has been presented in black-and-white because Spider-Noir star Lukas Haas previously said, "We filmed it in - I...

Sylvester Stallone might have a new title as President Trump's "special ambassador to Hollywood," but he's still sitting on the throne as the "Tulsa King." Yes, the Paramount+ juggernaut, one in a long line of Taylor Sheridan produced series, will be returning for a third season.

It makes sense that actor turned prolific TV creative has been able to create so many of these shows (considering he wrote the "Tulsa King" pilot in less than 24 hours), and yet, despite the quick script, some say "Tulsa King" may be Sheridan's best work (or at least the most entertaining of the bunch). The tale of Dwight "The General" Manfredi (Stallone) and rise from exiled New York mafia soldier to kingpin of Tulsa, Oklahoma has produced some of the funniest, strangest characters in the entire Sheridan universe. It has also helped turn the show into a hit for Paramount+, which has...

"Peaky Blinders" has enjoyed overwhelming acclaim since its 2013 premiere on BBC One and Two. Even after the show wrapped up its sixth and seemingly final season in 2022, its popularity persisted, shaping cultural discourse surrounding stories of a similar tint. Although "Peaky Blinders" shares tonal similarities with other works, its approach to real-world inspirations feels distinct enough to warrant the reputation that it enjoys. 

Series creator Steven Knight understands the complicated appeal of the gangster epic, where even the most morally vacuous characters are afforded nuance. Knight has also made excellent use of a stacked ensemble cast, whose characters navigate circumstances that highlight the human condition within a hyperspecific socio-cultural time period. There's a grittiness to the lives that the Shelbys live, along with the wider societal fabric of Birmingham that is inseparable from its criminal underbelly. 

Knight is no stranger to these kinds of stories, as his directorial debut is...

Some disturbing news has arrived this morning that alleges former Boardwalk Empire star Michael Pitt of some very serious crimes. Should these allegations prove to be true, Pitt is going to find himself in a world of legal trouble that could result in serious consequences.

Per The New York Post, court records out of New York City indicate that Pitt was arrested and arraigned at Kings Supreme Court in Brooklyn on May 2 following allegations of sexual abuse against his former girlfriend. The incidents go back to April 2020, with the actor being charged with two counts of first-degree sexual abuse, along with additional counts of assault injury with several blunt objects and strangulation.

The Alleged Abuse Gets Even More Disturbing Warner Independent Pictures

The court records go on to show that the charges are associated with four alleged domestic incidents that began in 2020, with the last coming in August 2021. The detailed...

He pleaded not guilty to all charges and was released on $15,000 bail. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 17.

Pitt was previously arrested in July 2022 for assault and petty larceny for allegedly hitting a man multiple times and taking his phone. Later that year, he reportedly was hospitalized and deemed “emotionally disturbed” after he was accused of throwing items at people from the roof of a building.

Jason Goldman, an attorney for Pitt, said in a statement provided to Deadline: “Unfortunately,...

With just weeks to go, the marketing campaign for Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is starting to ramp up and Paramount has just shared an insane new featurette, spotlighting the film's high stakes underwater sequence that will be unlike anything you've ever seen on screen.

Teasing the sequence, star/producer Tom Cruise said, "From Legend in 1985 to Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, I have been studying and filming underwater sequences for over 40 years. We have always tried to push our filmmaking to the next level… In this movie McQ and I saw an opportunity to create an underwater sequence unlike any other. We are excited to share it with you."

While the context of the scene remains mostly under wraps, it seems probable that this unprecedented moment will have something to do with the missing Sevastopol, which Ethan Hunt and his Imf team will be racing to locate...

Tulsa King has cast famed comedian Kevin Pollak for a major role in Season 3. The Sylvester Stallone-starring crime drama was renewed for a third season in March.

Pollak will be joining the Paramount+ series as FBI Special Agent Musso, who enters the story "with an axe to grind." Agent Musso is certain to cause problems for Dwight "The General" Manfred (Stallone) as he establishes a mafia foothold in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This role will be as a series regular, making Pollak's part much more than a guest appearance.

Kevin Pollak Joins Tulsa King Season 3

"I’ve been an admirer of Sly’s throughout his entire career and could not be more excited to be a part of this stellar cast and extraordinary production," Pollak said in a statement.

Pollak is no stranger to the mob drama genre, as he memorably played corrupt casino boss Phillip Green opposite Robert De Niro...

With a few weeks to go, the first tracking data for Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is out and it seems as though his ace Imf agent Ethan Hunt is gearing up to go out with a bang.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, The Final Reckoning is currently looking at an opening in the $72 million to $88 million range, with box office pundits targeting a $80 million domestic launch over the course of the four-day Memorial Day holiday weekend, which would be a franchise-best, topping the $61.2 million three-day launch for Mission: Impossible - Fallout in 2018.

Meanwhile, Disney's Lilo & Stitch is expected to open around $120 million over the four-day holiday, with projections expecting something in the $110 million to $130 million range, so based on these early estimates, it seems like we're in for one of the biggest movie weekends since 2023's Barbenheimer.

If the tracking holds, and if buzz continues...

The out of this world talented Stephen Root is joining “Resident Alien” Season 4 in a guest star role, Variety has learned exclusively.

Root will play the father of Harry (Alan Tudyk). According to the official character description, Root’s character will appear to his son in human form and “push Harry to go back to his evil alien roots.”

“Resident Alien” was renewed for Season 4 in June 2024, with the show set to move from Syfy to fellow NBCUniversal cabler USA Network. The new season does not have a premiere date at the time of this publishing. Along with Tudyk and Root, the cast also includes Sara Tomko, Alice Wetterlund, Levi Fiehler, Meredith Garretson, Corey Reynolds, and Elizabeth Bowen.

Root is a highly versatile actor with a strong resume across television and film. He received an Emmy nomination in 2019 for best supporting actor in a comedy for his work on the HBO series “Barry,...

[Editor’s Note: This list was originally published in February 2018. It has been updated to include new shows, including “The Last of Us.”]

Dwelling on death isn’t exactly healthy if you think about it the wrong way — except TV deaths, which leave special, agonizing scars. Losing a TV character you’ve spent years with hits hard, and can often change the course of the series moving forward. Someone like prickly “Succession” patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) was integral not only to the narrative, but to how each and every other character relates to one another and to their core attributes and aspirations. “Succession” was simply not the same show without him. Other deaths devastate you by building up a character into someone you love — which is why so many fans struggled with the gruesome death of Pedro Pascal’s Joel in “The Last of Us.”

To process (or calcify) our feelings, IndieWire’s TV team collected the biggest TV deaths of the 21st century — deaths that were not only shocking and hurtful,...

Exclusive: Production is underway in Vancouver, Canada, on The Marshmallow Experiment, a “raunchy coming-of-age comedy” from Canadian production and finance company Big Picture Cinema Group.

The film stars Dafne Keen (Deadpool & Wolverine), Sam McCarthy (Dead To Me), Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Johnny Knoxville (Jackass), Josh Lucas (Ford Vs Ferrari) and Sarah Chalke (Scrubs) in the story of “a young internet addicted teen (McCarthy) who, after bombing in bed with his dream girl, embarks on a wild, cringe-filled journey of digital detox…with influencer parents, rogue AI avatars, and a talking gorilla as his guide, The Marshmallow Experiment tackles intimacy, identity, and growing up unplugged—in the most online way possible.”

The US-Canadian co-production is written and directed by Richard Goldgewicht (Pablo), Matt Hamilton and Abe Frank. Pic is produced by Big Picture Cinema Group’s Jayce Barreiro and Graem Luis (Night Comes). Also producing are Richard Goldgewicht and Ruth Bornhauser of Core Story.

There are a few shows or movies that set a standard and a template for a whole genre. HBO’s 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers not only did that for war dramas but also launched and boosted many acting careers. The series, created by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, presented real-life events of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division throughout World War II.

The ensemble cast of Band of Brothers is one of the main reasons people still remember the show. Apart from playing the roles of soldiers, actors like Scott Grimes as Donald Malarkey, Kirk Acevedo as Joe Toye, and Damian Lewis as Richard Winters made the audience empathize with their losses and wins and connect with their camaraderie. Now, after more than two decades since its premiere, let’s catch up with some of these talented cast members and see what they are up to.

Paramount has just released fifteen new character posters from the upcoming Christopher McQuarrie-directed blockbuster, offering an awesome new look at every major character from the upcoming blockbuster, including Tom Cruise ("Ethan Hunt"), Hayley Atwell ("Grace"), Ving Rhames ("Luther Stickell"), Simon Pegg ("Benji Dunn"), Esai Morales ("Gabriel"), Pom Klementieff ("Paris"), Henry Czerny ("Eugene Kittridge"), Nick Offerman ("Sydney"), Hannah Waddingham ("Regina"), Tramell Tillman ("Barnes"), Angela Bassett ("Erika Sloane"), Shea Whigham ("Briggs"), Greg Tarzan Davis ("Degas"), with Rolf Saxon ("William Donloe") and Lucy Tulugarjuk ("Inuk Elder").

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...

Olivia Wilde is set to direct a new feature after her provocative 2022 film Don’t Worry Darling. This time, she’ll be helming a date night comedy that was inspired by the Spanish film Sentimental. This new film will be titled The Invite and has been adapted by Rashida Jones and her writing partner Will McCormack, whose credits include Celeste & Jesse Forever. The Invite will be about “a couple [who] invites the neighbors over, igniting an evening full of unexpected twists and turns, revealing deeply repressed emotions and unexplored sexuality.”

Variety reports that Wilde has her cast with Seth Rogen starring in the film alongside Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz. The production has already started in Los Angeles. The comedy will be produced by Ben Browning of FilmNation Entertainment, along with Annapurna Pictures’ Megan Ellison, and David Permut. Additionally, Annapurna’s Head of Film and Television, Patrick Chu, is on board as an executive producer.

Deadline reports that Paul Ben-Victor has joined the cast of HBO’s Lanterns for what will be a key recurring role as a mysterious extraterrestrial.

The actor will play Antaan, “an extraterrestrial devoted to exposing the truth and exacting vengeance against those who wronged his people. Consumed by a deep and unrelenting hatred for the law, he is determined to deliver justice on his own terms.” While the name is different, fans believe that the character is actually Atrocitus, a character who was forced to witness the death of his wife and children (as well as nearly every living being in his sector) after a rampage of rogue Manhunters. He becomes the leader of the Red Lantern Corps and swears vengeance against the Guardians of the Universe and all who serve them.

Paul Ben-Victor has appeared in many projects, including The Wire, True Detective, The Irishman, Vinyl, and more, but for some reason,...

Andy Serkis has unveiled the all-star voice cast for his long-gestating animated adaptation of George Orwell's seminal 1945 novella Animal Farm, with Seth Rogen (The Studio) leading the pack as the power-hungry pig Napoleon. He, along with the other barnyard animals, will shepherd in a rebellion against their human owners in an attempt to take over the farm. However, under the staunch dictatorship of the tyrannical Napoleon, the herd will face new challenges and hardships, forcing them to find the courage to stand up against the patriarch.

The cast of Animal Farm also includes Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things), Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Glenn Close (Fatal Attraction), Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black), Kieran Culkin (Succession), Woody Harrelson (True Detective), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Kathleen Turner (Peggy Sue Got Married), and Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel). In addition to directing, Serkis (Andor) will also lend his voice to one of the animals,...

Paramount Pictures has released another amazing new behind-the-scenes featurette from Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, this time shifting the spotlight away from the stunts and onto one of the franchise's most breathtaking shooting locations: Svalbard, Norway!

If you're wondering what brings our heroes to the Arctic, well, it's probably safe to say it'll have something to do with the missing Sevastopol, which sank at the beginning of the previous film.

Dead Reckoning spoilers ahead, but, as we all know now, the completed key that Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) managed to swipe at the end of that film opens a chamber in the Sevastopol that contains the Entity's source code, allowing it to be destroyed or controlled.

The sub's location has remained a mystery until now, but, it looks like, in the two months between adventures, Hunt and company will have cracked its hidding spot in the Arctic Ocean.

How...

Andy Serkis has unveiled the voice cast for his animated adaptation of the classic George Orwell allegory “Animal Farm.” It’s a film that Serkis has wanted to direct for over a decade, and it’s finally becoming a reality.

The cast of the film includes Seth Rogen (“The Studio”), Gaten Matarazzo (“Stranger Things”), Steve Buscemi (“Boardwalk Empire”), Glenn Close (“Fatal Attraction”), Laverne Cox (“Orange is the New Black”), Kieran Culkin (“Succession”), Woody Harrelson (“True Detective”), Jim Parsons (“The Big Bang Theory”), Andy Serkis, Kathleen Turner (“Peggy Sue Got Married”), and Iman Vellani (“Ms. Marvel”).

A classic novella first published in 1945, “Animal Farm” is a satirical political allegory about anthropomorphized animals who rebel against their human farmer owners in the hopes of creating a new society, but the story shows how new challenges can emerge and that revolution is just the beginning. Rogen leads the cast as the cunning pig named Napoleon.

Andy Serkis has been working on his animated adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm for a looong time, but the voice cast has finally been announced. Variety reports that Seth Rogen (The Studio), Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things), Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Glenn Close (Damages), Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black), Kieran Culkin (Succession), Woody Harrelson (True Detective), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Kathleen Turner (Romancing the Stone), and Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel) will all be voicing characters in Animal Farm.

Animal Farm is directed by Serkis (who also voices a character) from a script by Nick Stoller (The Muppets). The film tells the story of “a group of animals who rebel against their human owners and take over the farm. Their uprising over, they are presented with a fresh set of challenges under the rule of a cunning pig named Napoleon (Rogen). It’s a situation that...

A new era of "The Last of Us" brings a brand new cast of survivors and some characters we'll probably end up crying over when they roll up a sleeve and reveal they've been become infected in the post-apocalyptic society. But besides new friendly faces joining the fold, there are also some far colder characters making the tough choices that others daren't make. Among these select few is Isaac Dixon, a former Marine and leader of the Washington Liberation Front (Wlf), who's on a mission to wipe out an opposing faction known as The Seraphites. But who is playing this new authority figure that could clash with our heroes? None other than beloved star, Jeffery Wright.

An Oscar-nominated actor who might have one of the coolest voices in Hollywood, Jeffrey Wright is an all-around brilliant talent that elevates just about anything he puts his name to. But while some other...

Paramount Pictures has shared a jaw-dropping new look at Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, offering a quick sneak peek at Tom Cruise's most dangerous stunt yet, as he hangs off the wing of a biplane at 8,000 feet, with winds of over 140 mph blasting!

This stunt, which will undoubtedly be this final installment's signature sequence. has been in the works for several years now, with Cruise ("Ethan Hunt") and director Christopher McQuarrie having meticulously shot it over the last two years. The duo actually first teased the plane sequence at CinemaCon 2023 ahead of the launch of that summer's Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning.

The previous installment received widespread critical acclaim and the follow-up is shaping up to bigger and better in every way, as Ethan Hunt and his elite team of Imf operatives race against the clock to stop The Entity once and for all.

In our Dead Reckoning review,...

Since its beginning, Lanterns has billed itself as a mystery series similar to True Detective. Speaking with THR, Lanterns director James Hawes believes those comparisons are valid, but adds that the Green Lantern series will have a little more humour.

“Talking tone, it looks and feels rooted. You meet two guys, but there is wit and comedy to it that you would not expect in True Detective,” Hawes said. “It is, in many ways, a buddy cop structure with travel in the story time, to and fro, that is really sophisticated. Chris Mundy has done the most amazing job with the team there, and so I think [the True Detective comparison] is valid. People will still go, ‘What were you talking about?’ to some extent, but I would also bring in No Country for Old Men, Fargo and things that have that Americana heart to them. There’s a wry humor, and so there...

Apple TV+ has unveiled the first image from Smoke, the upcoming drama series starringTaron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett. The first two episodes of the gritty crime drama will premiere on June 27, with one episode following weekly every Friday until the show concludes in an epic finale on August 8. Inspired by true events, Smoke tells the story of a troubled detective and an enigmatic arson investigator hot on the trail of two serial arsonists. The series is based on the acclaimed podcast Firebug, which was previously believed to be the title of the show until this latest announcement. Smoke was written and created for television by Dennis Lehane, who will also produce. John Leguizamo has also been cast in an undisclosed role in the show.

Taron Egerton stars in the show as lead arson investigator Dave Gudsen, and Emmy Award-nominee Jurnee Smollett will feature as the police detective Michelle Calderone. Rafe Spall,...

After over two years of anxious waiting — and the occasional infected tease — HBO’s The Last of Us returned with a bang. The Season 2 premiere of the post-apocalyptic drama drew an infectious 5.3 million cross-platform viewers in the U.S. on Sunday night, according to HBO. That marks a 13% increase from its already impressive series debut back in January 2023. Layman's terms: the show that was a hit is now an even bigger hit.

For those keeping score, The Last of Us originally launched to 4.7 million viewers across HBO and what was then called HBO Max — ah, sweet nostalgia — making it HBO’s second-best series premiere in over a decade, just behind Boardwalk Empire’s 2010 debut. And much like the Cordyceps virus outbreak shown in the show, The Last of Us only grew from there. Season 1 saw consistent week-over-week gains, culminating in a finale that pulled in a then-series-high 8.2 million viewers.

After being off the air for more than two years, HBO’s The Last of Us on Sunday night returned to approximately 5.3 million U.S. cross-platform viewers, up nearly 13% from its series premiere.

Back on Jan. 15, 2023, HBO‘s adaptation of the popular video game franchise premiered to 4.7 million total viewers (across linear and HBO Max platforms in the U.S.), which at the time marked the pay cabler’s second-best series launch in more than 12 years — since Boardwalk Empire drew north of 7 million in September 2010.

HBO has picked up The Last of Us for a third season.

The announcement comes ahead of the anticipated Season 2 debut on April 13. Deadline understands that a decision has not been made yet whether Season 3 will be the series’ last.

Creators Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin previously told Deadline that they were contemplating up to four total seasons to tell the story laid out across two video games. Season 2 is seven episodes, and the duo sought early on to quell any worry from fans that they would try to wrap up the behemoth that is The Last of Us Part II in such little time.

“It can’t be overemphasized how proud HBO is for the outstanding achievement we believe the second season of The Last of Us is,” Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films, said in a statement. “Craig, Neil, Carolyn...

Tonight’s episode of Daredevil: Born Again, titled “Isle of Joy,” builds on last week’s gripping hour of television with an eye-opening installment that sheds light on what Foggy may have been up to in the pilot.

Disney’s Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 Episode 8 Recap: Why Does Vanessa Help Fisk?

This is an interesting question. For one, Vanessa (You’s Ayelet Zurer) has elevated the business into something profitable and, in some respects, legitimate. Think of Stringer Bell laundering corner profits in The Wire before Avon Barksdale was released from prison. Eliminating Fisk would solve most of her problems regarding power and control.

Vanessa knows her husband can do more for her in office,...

A night shift attendant finds herself trapped in a Storage Wars episode gone wrong in the new trailer for Unit 234. Don Johnson stars in this thrilling tale of a mystery man, a ruthless band of criminals, and the woman caught in the middle. The film will premiere in theaters and on-demand on May 9, 2025. Collider can exclusively reveal the new thriller's trailer and poster below.

The trailer opens in a complex of storage units, where Laurie (Isabelle Fuhrman) is working the night shift when Jules (Johnson) drops in, demanding to see the contents of the titular Unit 234. However, since he can't produce anything that ties him to the unit, she has to ask him to leave. Overcome with curiosity, Laurie checks the unit herself, and what she finds inside it is something much more alarming than patio furniture or old comic books: it's Clayton (Jack Huston), a mystery man handcuffed...

If you’re one of those people who prefer a good book to the boob tube, AMC is about to make you feel conflicted.

On Monday, AMC Networks announced it is developing a new TV franchise produced by AMC Studios and “built on iconic American stories.” Up first: John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath.

“Each season of the anthology series will be devoted to a different celebrated work, historical moment, or individual narrative celebrating and highlighting the American spirit,” the company said. The Great American Stories anthology will air on the AMC cable channel and stream on AMC’s primary streaming service (out of a bunch), AMC+.

If you want to Anne Rice-ify classic American literature, who better to adapt the novel than Rolin Jones, who did the same thing with Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire (and Friday Night Lights, and Boardwalk Empire)? Jones will take...

During last night's Final Four games on CBS, Paramount Pictures announced that the brand new theatrical trailer for Tom Cruise's highly anticipated Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning - which originally debuted at CinemaCon last week - will be released online Monday!

Whether it'll drop during the National Championship Game or earlier in the day remains to be seen, but we'd wager on the latter since that's generally when the studio tends to launch new footage. We'd then expect a TV spot to debut during the game, directing fans online to check out the full-length trailer.

Plot details remain under wraps, but we learned at CinemaCon that the film will pick up two months after the events of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) still seemingly on the run and presumably on the hunt for the sunken Sevastopol.

As per Deadline's footage description, here's some...

Plummer would replace Woody Harrelson in the role he played through the whole original Hunger Games saga.

Insider Jeff Sneider shared the report, stating he “100% [buys] this,” noting that he “heard a few other names, but Charlie was one of them.” He added that he “figured he had the edge,” especially as he is also the “most experienced" contender he heard could replace Harrelson.

Born in New York, Plummer has past credits in Boardwalk Empire, Moonfall, Lean on Pete, and All the Money in the World.
