Elimination of the unscripted division, fewer straight-to-Max movies, and even a new name are among the rumors looming over the service.

It’s easy to think of Apple TV+ as one of the lightweights in the Streaming Wars, but they’ve been quietly building up a catalog of solid shows for a while, including Ted Lasso, Mythic Quest and For All Mankind. That last one may be the service’s most ambitious series. Hailing from Battlestar Galactica creator Ronald D.

When it comes to the genre of televised cooking competition series, Iron Chef exists on its own hallowed tier.

After a lengthy break imposed by the pandemic, Netflix’s flagship scripted series returned in full force. Stranger Things 4 Volume 1, which launched May 25, logged the biggest premiere weeken…

Ricky Gervais is the latest brave comedian to have experienced the horror of being “cancelled,” after his new special, SuperNature, dropped on Netflix, and sparked online backlash due to transphobic jokes. In this context, “cancelled” means being paid millions of dollars by Netflix to make fun of a marginalized minority, then being criticized by strangers on the internet - when will the persecution against comedians end?

Sony is also working on a movie based on the Gran Turismo series, according to Deadline, but hasn’t found a distributor for it yet, and could feature Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Chappie) as its director.

Twenty minutes after Netflix announced the shocking news Tuesday that for the first time in a decade, it actually lost subscribers during a fiscal quarter, an executive at a rival streamer texted me a very simple reaction: “

Amazon Studios is taking a massive gamble with its "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" series. The studio has poured an enormous amount of money into the production of the show and is clearly angling to make a thorough and comprehensive adaptation. Even so, from the moment its marketing started picking up some momentum in early 2022, fans have had epically mixed reactions.

A Season 2 release in 2024 is also in the realm of possibility.

Back in the saddle again for the Duttons: Production on season five of Yellowstone has resumed in Montana. The cast and crew of the Taylor Sheridan drama should be sharing a whole lot of yee haws this summer.
