French media executive Romain Bessi, who as Variety exclusively announced has been named CEO of the alliance of independent production companies known as the Creatives, said on Tuesday that the group is now searching for financing that will allow it not only to remain competitive in a difficult market but to continue to grow its reach.
“We need to invest in people, in development. We need to invest in a few things in order to grow faster and grow stronger,” Bessi told an industry audience at Rome’s Mia Market. “For that, we need a partner. We don’t want to sell the Creatives. We want to find a partner to join us and reach another level.”
The Creatives was launched in 2021 as a long-term partnership between its member companies to forge co-productions, launch strategic joint ventures, share information and combine networks.

It’s been crickets on the fate of Parish since the series’ first season came to a close on May 5, 2024. The crime drama’s six episodes aired from late March to early May 2024, but it notably was not included in the 13 AMC shows licensed to Netflix in a one-year deal that began on August 19. Other AMC shows that aired new seasons in 2024, like Interview With the Vampire and Monsieur Spade, were included. Parish has yet to be renewed or canceled. Will the Giancarlo Esposito drama get a second season? The star certainly hopes so. Parish follows Esposito as the titular Gracian “Gray” Parish, who’s pulled back into the crime world after the murder of his son and the collapse of his luxury car service he owns in New Orleans. The getaway driver-turned straight-and-narrow businessman is pulled back into his former life of crime for one last job with former...

Monsieur Spade is one of a collection of AMC shows now available to stream on Netflix as part of a one-year licensing deal between the network and the streamer — a deal that’s become somewhat of a tradition ever since Breaking Bad surged in popularity once it became available on Netflix. The Clive Owen-led noir drama offers a new story in the infamous onscreen life of Sam Spade, the detective made famous in Dashiell Hammett’s books and in Humphrey Bogart‘s performance in The Maltese Falcon. It’s a gorgeously rendered gumshoe mystery that shows a new side of the character. Set in the south of France in the 1963, Spade is a man in relatively peaceful retirement who’s living quietly after the death of his wife, whom he met in France while tasked with seeing to the safe passage of a young girl named Teresa (the elder...

Ah, August. We’re almost there, people. If we can just get through another four weeks of blazing temperatures, surging electricity bills, and sweating through more outfits than your coolest Olympian, then… well, then we’ll probably have four more weeks of the same wretched heat. But maybe not! September, while still typically quite warm, is still historically milder than July and August, which means there’s hope for a few precious days of 70-degree, maybe even 68-degree weather. And when you’re melting into your bed each night, hope means everything.
Hope is also present in the best new shows on Netflix this month. While the streamer is reserving its most anticipated releases for the traditional start of TV season in September — a rom-com series with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody! a family murder-mystery starring Nicole Kidman! a new movie from “The Leftovers’” own Carrie Coon! — the August Netflix calendar is actually pretty stacked.

AMC said Tuesday that it has inked a deal with the streaming giant that will bring the prior seasons of 13 different series to the platform. Most of the shows will launch on Netflix on Aug. 19, with two others to become available in early 2025.
AMC describes the deal as a “curated selection” of shows, which will be available for 12 months.

Clive Owen has not forgotten his roots. Growing up in a working-class family in Coventry in the 1970s U.K., he yearned to explore different roles in life — and the youth wing of the city’s civic Belgrade Theatre gave him that opportunity.
More than four decades later, Owen — who most recently appeared in “Monsieur Spade” as an aging Sam Spade drawn back into the game to solve a post-World War II murder mystery in the south of France — credits that experience as the foundation for his career.
“That is where it all started for me — joining the youth theater was a life changer for me,” he tells Variety at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic, where he receives the President’s Award Saturday night. “The city is still a very tough one, and places like the youth theater are a lifeline for kids like me to...

Turns out, the one thing everybody gathered for The Hollywood Reporter‘s annual Drama Actor Emmy roundtable has in common is the fact that they’ve all lied to land a job.
“All the time,” jokes Nicholas Galitzine, of both Starz’s Mary & George and Prime Video’s Red, White & Royal Blue, when the question is first posed.
Fellow Travelers‘ Matt Bomer is similarly quick to confess. “I absolutely figure skate, I play ice hockey. Rollerblade. Yes, years of experience,” he says through laughter.
The lies vary, of course; as do the consequences. But all six of the men gathered on this April afternoon at the Georgian Hotel cop to at least one lie — and perhaps unsurprisingly, it rarely ended well. Clive Owens (Monsieur Spade, A Murder at the End of the World) said he could ride a horse — a lie that came back to bite him when...

Steven Spielberg's filmmaking techniques took a large bound forward in 2001 with the release of "A.I. Artificial Intelligence." The sci-fi film, set in a near future populated by conscious androids, was a project Spielberg took over from an ailing Stanley Kubrick, who passed on it when he felt Spielberg could do it better. In "A.I.," Spielberg's photography and editing were very different from the slick, adventure films and glossy prestige pictures he had become popular making. Now everything was hazy, staid, more deliberate.
Although he had already won three Oscars (two for "Schindler's List" and one for "Saving Private Ryan") and was widely considered to be a reigning master of Hollywood's blockbuster class, Spielberg evolved. After 2001, Spielberg's career bifurcated into dispassionate effects-based thrillers wherein the filmmaker was merely experimenting, and deeply passionate political thrillers that used the politics of the past to reflect on issues of the day.

AMC Networks’ plans to submit the zombie spinoff “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live” as a limited series for the Emmys have been killed.
The cable network had announced plans to submit the six-episode spinoff, created by Scott M. Gimple, Danai Gurira, and Andrew Lincoln, for outstanding limited or anthology series at the Primetime Emmys. However, Variety has learned exclusively from two sources with direct knowledge that the show is ineligible to submit in the category.
In 2021, the Television Academy defined what constitutes a limited or anthology series, stating that the story must be resolved within its season without any ongoing storylines. This criteria affected past winners, such as the second season of “The White Lotus,” which was required to compete as a drama due to Jennifer Coolidge’s recurring character.

Clive Owen hopes to divide and conquer with his dual Emmy submissions this year.
With two competing limited series in the Emmys race, the star will be submitting his two acclaimed performances in AMC’s “Monsieur Spade” and Hulu’s “A Murder at the End of the World” in separate acting categories, Variety has learned exclusively.
For his work as detective Sam Spade in AMC’s neo-noir miniseries “Monsieur Spade,” he’ll remain as expected in the highly competitive lead actor in a limited series or TV movie race, where he’ll face potential contenders such as Jon Hamm (“Fargo”) and Tom Hollander (“Feud: Capote vs. the Swans”). However, regarding his turn in Hulu’s psychological thriller “A Murder at the End of the World,” he’ll seek Emmy consideration as a supporting actor, eyeing competition in actors like Jonathan Bailey (“Fellow Travelers”) and Lewis Pullman (“Lessons in Chemistry”), and...

In the penultimate episode of Monsieur Spade, the reason why Zyad was so important to everyone was revealed. George and Cynthia were revealed to be two spies working for the British Intelligence, who wanted to bring Zyad to safety as every other secret organization like Oas wanted the kid, since he was gifted with a special ability to crack any kind of code. Sam Spade didn’t want to get involved in this, but Teresa’s life was in jeopardy as she was Philippe’s daughter and was also a target of Oas, who wanted to get to Philippe through her. In the last episode of this miniseries, the entangled web of mystery is unraveled in haste, which ends in a haphazard way. Let’s discuss what happened in the season finale to resolve our quarrels.

Was Monsieur Spade Season 1 Episode 6 the end of the story, or just the beginning of a new chapter in the life of the venerable detective?
With the superb cast, masterful writing, and one of the few times that viewers and critics connect, it's hard not to imagine everyone involved hoping this was only the first chapter of a new book about Sam Spade and his exploits in Bozouls.
Of course, it would be odd to have so much happen in the quaint town, but even during the finale, it was noted that it's not so quaint after all.
If you're not a fan of tales being tied up with exposition, you may have been disappointed in Monsieur Spade's final hour.
But if you've been enjoying the banter filling the canyons of Bozouls, then it hit the mark.
This was a highly stylized finale.

Super Bowl ratings have been on the rise in recent years, and the combination of a hard-fought overtime game and the world's most famous entertainer no doubt delivered a massive audience for CBS.
For Swift and Kelce, it was the culmination of a fairy tale romance, and for the good people of Kansas City, it was the perfect ending to a storybook season.
But if you're a fan of neither football nor somewhat bland pop melodies, you might be growing a little tired of the Traylor saga.

When I have been snooping on social media about reactions to Monsieur Spade Season 1, many people call it slow, which escapes me, and many others say it’s difficult to follow.

In the fourth episode of Monsieur Spade, Philippe met Jean-Pierre at the end and managed to take the kid named Zyad from Samir. Oas, a far-right organization, was also after the boy, and it was still unclear in episode 4 why everyone wanted him. Teresa and Henri got closer, but it was revealed that Henri had been spying on Spade for quite a while. The neighboring painter George and his mother Cynthia turned out to be spies working for an intelligence agency, and Spade began to suspect them. However, there are still many questions that remain unanswered, and the biggest question is what Philippe was up to. Let’s see what happened in Monsieur Spade Episode 5.
Episode 5 opened in Algeria in 1956, where Philippe captured a wounded soldier and interrogated him about the man in the picture. This man in the picture seemed to be Jean-Pierre, whom Philippe was probably looking for.

Kicking off the network’s TCA press tour presentation, McDermott talked up super serving audiences and the importance of linear television in his opening address.
AMC Networks is presenting series including The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, Clive Owen’s Monsieur Spade, Giancarlo Esposito’s Parish and Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire and talked up streaming series such as Acorn TV’s upcoming Ellis and Allblk’s Deb’s House.

In the previous episode of Monsieur Spade, we saw Spade receive a call from Philippe, whom he wanted to track down so he could find out more about the kid, Zyad, and why Philippe was supposed to take him to Paris. It was revealed that some extremist groups were after Zyad, and Philippe must be working for one of them. While Spade went out to meet Philippe, someone intruded on his house and wanted to kidnap Teresa, but Spade arrived just in time to save her. The neighboring painters, George and Cynthia, were revealed to be working for a secret service organization, which might be responsible for sending the intruder to kidnap Teresa. Later, the intruder struck Spade and was going to kill him, but in the meantime, Henri stepped in to prevent the attack. Let’s see if the fourth episode of Monsieur Spade reveals who the intruder was.

We are still not much closer to the full picture of the boy and how his mere presence has created such an uproar in Bozouls, but Monsieur Spade Season 1 Episode 4 began fleshing it out in some detail.
There are many layers to this entertaining mystery, and as one is peeled away, another is revealed.
The past and present are intricately reliant, and the more we know about one, the more we'll know about the other.
The previews for Monsieur Spade had already hinted at Sam's turn at being a badass, but watching him in action, questioning his attacker with amazing physical prowess without ever leaving his chair, was a treat.
That scene spoke directly to Spade's capabilities and what makes him such a formidable enemy and detective. Even after almost losing his life in a chokehold, he's ridiculously calm and in control.
Filming scenes like that must be a hoot.
