Millie Bobby Brown was set to portray Kerri Strug, a member of the 1996 'Magnificent Seven' USA gymnastics team, but left due to creative differences.

The first episode challenges Shakespeare's vision of a villainous Richard III, while a future episode will consider the Ross and Rachel of early modern history, Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

The series follows five twenty-somethings obsessed with work and striving for success, with the occasional quick break for personal happiness if they can find the time in their schedule.

Advertisers running on all nine streaming platforms account for 34% of US streaming TV ad spending, according to a March report from MediaRadar.

A time jump resets this show's character dynamics with Rue (Zendaya) working off her debt to a drug dealer and seemingly nearly all the series' other female characters engaged in sex work of some kind. Sam Levinson's vision of a woman's life is pretty depressing.

One Battle After Another dominated the awards race and even threw in some box-office points as well. Seven of the top-ten movies were Best Picture nominees at the Oscars, for what it's worth.

Niall and Ruben are brothers. Not related in blood but the closest you can get. One, fierce and loyal. The other, meek and mild-mannered.

Last October, PayPal an integration with OpenAI so that ChatGPT users could transact within the app. Apparently, PayPal is now ready to take that idea to other retailer chatbots. Of course, now that ChatGPT is making its foray into advertising , other LLMs and chatbots are bound to follow suit, if they haven't already done so. Walmart, for instance, rolled out ads in its generative AI agent Sparky earlier this month.

You would think Searchlight hoped for The Testament of Ann Lee to release widely in theaters with something to celebrate ( re: Oscar noms), but that campaign didn't quite take off. The lack of awards buzz shouldn't besmirch Amanda Seyfried's performance here, though, which is great. Plus, if you want to go to the movies this weekend, it's an incredibly better option than the Chris Pratt AI movie.

In the fourth season of Industry, everyone has a story to sell: a neutered fund or loveless marriage, shamed husbands, a life aimless after retirement, a payment-processing firm hampered by its ties to porn and sex work. These labels seem to indicate mistaken priorities or misplaced trust. But they are just narratives to be refined or redefined. Everything is up for grabs if you tell the right story.

Bugonia managed to claim a Best Picture slot, and Stone landed another Best Actress nom for her portrayal of a pharmaceutical CEO kidnapped by a pair of cousins (Jesse Plemons and newcomer Aidan Delbis) consumed by the idea that she's an alien. As surreal and unsettling as Lanthimos's films are, our critic Bilge Ebiri noted, "It's the first picture of his populated by characters who feel like they exist in the real world."

On YouTube, The Rest is History podcast draws roughly around 500,000 viewers, who stick around for an average of about 48 minutes. That's close to the length of a traditional hour-long show and even longer than the podcast's strong audio average of around 40 minutes.. For the production team, seeing that level of engagement, especially on TV screens, was a turning point. People weren't just listening along to podcasts. They're settling in to watch now too.

Melling plays a shy young man, Colin, who meets a hot biker, Ray (Skarsgård); the two sweetly and awkwardly develop a BDSM relationship as Colin starts to grasp on to what he really wants from his life.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, pickup order to lack of renewal. Here we bid farewell to the canceled shows of 2026. Less than a month into the year (and last lunar year not even over) and shows are already starting to drop. This post will serve as living tribute to the TV we're going to miss in 2027. Don't cry because they're over, smile because hopefully there are some sort of residuals in place for the workers.

The television show I'm most enjoying right now: There is a Hollywood story in David Niven's autobiography Bring on the Empty Horses, in which the screenwriter Charles MacArthur asks Charlie Chaplin how to make the comic pratfall scene of a person slipping on a banana peel new again. Chaplin suggests that MacArthur start with a lady walking down the street and cut to a shot of the banana peel on the sidewalk, which the lady steps over-right before she falls down a manhole.
