Max is turning off the heat on Julia.
The Warner Bros. Discovery-backed streamer has canceled its Julia Child-inspired series Julia following a two-season run. The news comes after the second season wrapped its run Dec. 21 and amid an era of belt tightening across the television landscape, with Julia joining Our Flag Means Death in being axed at the streamer this week alone. Both seasons of Julia will continue to be available to stream on Max.
From creator Daniel Goldfarb and showrunner Chris Keyser, Sarah Lancashire starred as Child opposite David Hyde Pierce. Max did not own the show and instead paid a licensing fee to producers Lionsgate Television, which is in the midst of spinning off from premium cable network Starz.

Max’s Julia Child biodrama is blessed with a deep bench of winning characters played by incredible actors. Aside from Julia (Sarah Lancashire) and her husband Paul (David Hyde-Pierce), there's Julia's best pal Avis (Bebe Neuwirth), the public-television producer who helped shepherd her show to the air (Brittany Bradford as Alice), her original French Chef director Russ (Fran Kranz), her new director Elaine (Rachel Bloom); the list goes on. But a special place at the table should be set for Julia's Judith Jones (Fiona Glascott), the book editor at the Knopf publishing house and the French Chef’s first great champion. She's a character so dynamic, self-possessed, and charismatic, that there seems only one thing left for her to do: leave Julia for a spin-off of her own.

The popular television chef may be spoofing “I Love Lucy,” but the return of the critically-acclaimed series is a welcome homecoming for viewers who have been waiting for new episodes since the first season finished airing 18 months ago. Watch the full trailer above.
The new footage teases Child’s (Sarah Lancashire) trip to France with her husband Paul (David Hyde Pierce) as she collaborates with her French cookbook co-writer Simone Beck (Isabella Rossellini).

Premiering Saturday night in the Tribeca Film Festival’s Spotlight Narrative category, Eric Larue is an intense and devastating account of the after effects of a school shooting, but the focus is almost entirely on the parents of that boy who shot and killed three male classmates and is now in prison. Adapted by Brett Neveu from his own 2002 stage play, it has taken on new weight in the two decades since it was first presented at Chicago’s Red Orchid Theatre in light of the seemingly endless numbers of school shootings and the fact that the number one cause for deaths of young people is now by gun. But for his feature film directorial debut actor Michael Shannon was most interested in looking at the effects of this traumatic life-changing incident from the point of view of the parents, those of the kids killed, and particularly the pair of...

An ensemble of gifted actors effectively play against type in Michael Shannon’s quietly powerful directing debut, none more so than Judy Greer, outwardly numbed by sorrow but raw inside as a mother whose son shot and killed three high school classmates. While the subject matter inevitably invites comparison with Mass, that well-received 2021 chamber piece — also a first feature by an actor, Fran Kranz — kept its focus tight on two sets of parents on either side of a similar tragedy. Eric Larue casts a wider gaze, taking in the broader community and the religious leaders fumbling or manipulating the conversation about healing.
Shannon’s deep roots in Chicago theater are evident in his choice of material and his success at assembling a first-rate cast — uncommonly strong across the board for a modestly scaled indie like this.
The script was adapted by Brett Neveu from his play of the same name,...

Blood Relatives – AMC+, Shudder
Writer/Director Noah Segan’s feature debut brings a charming soft touch to the vampire tale, favoring dad jokes and affecting bonds over savage bloodletting.

“This is no joke. This is catering!” so says Jane Lynch in the short trailer announcing the triumphant return of cult comedy “Party Down.”
The Rob Thomas and Paul Rudd-created cater-waiter comedy, which originally aired for two seasons on Starz beginning in 2009, is serving up (<—see what I did there?) six episodes on the network beginning February 24. If you’ve been hearing people talk about this show for a decade and want to catch up, the 20 beloved episodes are on the Starz app, as well as Hulu. (The first season is on Prime Video.)
Adam Scott is back as the failed actor stuck wearing bowties and attending other people’s parties. In addition to he and Lynch, other original cast members returning include Ken Marino, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen and Megan Mullally. Alas, Lizzy Caplan will not appear in the third season (but her character is referenced).

The Party Down gang is back for seconds in the first full trailer teasing the Starz comedy’s long-awaited return.
In the footage released Thursday ahead of the Feb. 24 launch, Adam Scott reprises his role as actor-bartender Henry Pollard, who finds himself unexpectedly reuniting a decade later with his former co-workers from the Party Down catering team. The series, which has built a cult following, concluded its original two-season run in June 2010.
“This is not how I envisioned my 40s,” Scott tells a fellow member of the crew in the trailer.
During a different moment, a frazzled Constance Carmell (Jane Lynch) exclaims while at an event, “This is no joke. This is catering!”
Also returning from the original cast alongside Scott and Lynch are Ken Marino, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen and Megan Mullally. Lizzy Caplan will not return due to scheduling conflicts.

If you have an event coming up that requires a top-notch catering service, you should call someone other than Party Down. While the gang at Party Down knows how to make a celebration enjoyable, they’re likely to cause chaos behind the scenes, resulting in shenanigans that could be hard to explain to your guests. Starz is ready to start the party today with a new Party Down revival trailer. The party begins on Friday, February 24, on the Starz app and other streaming platforms. The revival also leads a conga line to Starz for a linear debut on Friday, February 24, at 9 Pm Et/Pt.
The Party Down revival trailer is getting us pumped for six all-new episodes that take place ten years after the original series. Several Party Down catering crew members have moved on since the original series, but a mutual event unites them, and the band gets back together.

In the age of revival television, it is still genuinely hard to believe that Starz is bringing the cult comedy favorite "Party Down" back for a long (long!) awaited third season, but it is indeed happening. As evidence of that, we have a brand new trailer for the new batch of episodes, which will be arriving via the premium cable channel next month. And yes, most of the original cast is back! Sadly, Lizzy Caplan isn't here as Casey Klein for another round of "will they, won't they" with Adam Scott's Henry Pollard. Be that as it may, it very much looks like the show folks like myself fell in love with. And in the third season...

It’s about to turn up because “Party Down” is back!
The beloved Starz original comedy series has officially returned 14 years since the show debuted in 2009. Original stars Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Ken Marino, Ryan Hansen, and Martin Starr, plus Season 2 addition Megan Mullally, are reprising their respective roles for the revival series. Lizzy Caplan is the only original actor not returning for the reboot. Check out the trailer below.
The cater-waiter comedy centers on aspiring actor Henry (Scott), whose apathetic bartending skills sustain his dreams of being a Hollywood star. Henry works for Party Down catering company, managed by Ron (Marino). Each episode centered around a different catering job: from Sweet Sixteens to Bar Mitzvahs, funerals to pre-school fundraisers. The series ran for two seasons before being axed in 2010.
“This is not how I envisioned my 40s,” Henry says in the trailer for the highly anticipated revival.

We’re mere weeks away from the long overdue return of Starz’s cult hit series “Party Down,” and as the first trailer will prove, we’re delighted to report the gang are all still living that cautionary don’t-move-to-la life, even into their 40s and 50s. I mean, we’re delighted for you, the fans. We feel kind of bad for the characters.
You can see for yourself at the top of the page. It’s been 10 years and ostensibly they’ve all moved on. But after a surprise reunion, the gang find themselves once again stoically enduring the procession of random parties and oddball guests all over Los Angeles.
But time has not exactly been kind. It’s not just that actor/bartender Henry Pollard (Adam Scott) is grappling with the reality that he’s well into his 40s and still doing that for a living. It’s...

Each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit streaming platforms in the United States. Check out this week’s selections below and past round-ups here.
First Love (A.J. Edwards)
Following The Better Angels and Age Out, A.J. Edwards’ third feature, First Love, is both a tender tale of blossoming romance and nuanced depiction of the pride and human frailties that can disrupt a decades-long bond. The writer-director, who got his start working with Terrence Malick on The Tree of Life, The New World, To the Wonder, Knight of Cups, and Song to Song, displays an immense amount of grace in this recession-era portrait of family and romance. Led by Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Diane Kruger, Jeffrey Donovan, and Sydney Park, the film got a quiet release earlier this summer, but certainly deserves to find an audience in coming years.

This week’s 20 Questions on Deadline guest is Martha Plimpton.
Currently starring in new Freevee comedy series Sprung, Plimpton plays Barb, mother to a convict released early due to Covid, and the show takes a look at the early days of the pandemic and all the societal idiosyncrasies that showed up during lockdown.
Plimpton has acted since childhood, starring in such iconic films as The Goonies, Parenthood and Running on Empty and shows like ER and The Good Wife, for which she won an Emmy. Last year she won an Independent Spirit Award for her role in Fran Kranz’s film Mass.
Plimpton says of Sprung, “The intention is not to mock anyone, it’s just to find a little bit of humor in the absurdity of everything that we thought we had to do, and that we did do, like hoarding toilet paper and selling it for 20 a roll.

In 2016, Netflix entered the world of horror with its first spine-tingling original film, "Rebirth." After debuting at 2016's Tribeca Festival, Netflix purchased the then-exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the Fran Kranz-starring project. At that time, Netflix was only a year into its decision to debut original television and film content on its streaming service. Months later, Netflix produced and distributed writer-director Osgood Perkins' Toronto Film Festival hit "I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in This House," and the company has been purchasing and producing horror films ever since.
