Carrie-Anne Moss is joining Arnold Schwarzenegger in action comedy series “Fubar” Season 2 as a former East German spy — who has a passionate history with Schwarzenegger’s CIA operative.
Moss joins the returning cast of “Fubar,” which includes Schwarzenegger, Monica Barbaro, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Jay Baruchel, Aparna Brielle, Andy Buckley, Milan Carter, Fabiana Udenio and Barbara Eve Harris.
In Season 2 of “Fubar,” Schwarzenegger reprises his role as Luke Brunner, a veteran CIA operative who, until recently, was on the verge of retirement. After his last mission in saving another operative — who just so happened to be his daughter — he’s back and face-to-face with new villains. This one is an old flame from Luke’s past who threatens to destroy the world… if she doesn’t destroy his life first.
Schwarzenegger, 76, after undergoing open-heart surgery said on social media in March that he was ready to start shooting Season 2 of “Fubar” on schedule.

One notable project will be transferred from Dceu into the newly established Dcu, and that’s ‘Peacemaker.’ ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 was already confirmed to be in development when Gunn clarified that the show will be canon to the Dcu and that he will make it work in a way that is not confusing for the fans at all, and that the transition between Dceu and Dcu at least as far as ‘Peacemaker’ is concerned will be as smooth as possible.
Now, Gunn went one step further by connecting the upcoming ‘Peacemaker’ season 2 with a highly-awaited animated project ‘Creature Commandos’ that’s supposed to be released this year.
Frank Grillo was cast as Rick Flag Sr. in ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, after already being confirmed to voice the character for the animated show. This aligns with what Gunn said back when he was presenting the Dcu, that he would like for the voice actors...

A big change is happening as ‘Peacemaker’ moves from Dceu to the new Dcu. Season 2 is in the works and will be part of Dcu canon. Gunn assures fans the shift won’t be confusing and aims for a smooth transition between Dceu and Dcu, especially for ‘Peacemaker’.
Now, Gunn takes it a step further by linking the forthcoming ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 with the much-anticipated animated project ‘Creature Commandos,’ set for release this year.
Frank Grillo has been chosen to portray Rick Flag Sr. in ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, following his prior confirmation to voice the character in the animated series. This mirrors Gunn’s earlier statement during the Dcu presentation, expressing his desire for voice actors to also appear in live-action roles.
Rick Flag Sr. was once the leader of the Suicide Squadron during WWII. This group, made up of criminals, was sent on perilous missions. Flag Sr. instilled discipline in them and led them successfully.

Fallout has been a huge success for Prime. Released on April 10th, it was viewed over 1.5 million times in 5 days. A total of 25 actors made guest appearances. Here are the top 5:
5. Michael Rapaport as Knight Titus
The Brotherhood of Steel has been a constant presence in the video game since its release. As you might expect, the Knights are expected to show bravery and valor.
Titus' face was covered upon his first introduction in Episode 2. When Michael Rapaport was revealed as the actor, viewers may have thought the character was destined for humorous involvement, but instead, Titus turned out to be a self-serving coward.
Rapaport has had cameos in:
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air The Big Bang Theory Friends
But he’s arguably best known as Agent Don Self from Prison Break.

The Office is undoubtedly one of the best sitcom series ever to be made. Adapted from the British television series of the same name, both series have received critical acclaim and are hailed among some of the best TV shows to have been created.

Heracles, or Hercules in the Roman interpretation, is probably one of the most recognizable figures of ancient mythology. In fact, along with the Mesopotamian Gilgamesh, the stories associated with Hercules are among the oldest representatives of adventure fiction that still have a significant impact on pop culture.
But obviously, given the mythical nature of the life of the famous ancient Greek hero, many movies and shows about Heracles were set in the fantasy genre and therefore did not care too much about historicity. But is this really the case, or did some filmmakers still try to convey period-accurate aspects?
Renowned Dutch historian Dr. Roel Konijnendijk, who specializes in classical Greek warfare, has evaluated a number of battles in films about antiquity, and one of them was 2014's Hercules, in which Dwayne Johnson took on the titular role. The film was rather coldly received by critics, but Konijnendijk gave it a much warmer reception,...

Perhaps the most important prison-set drama series is the iconic Prison Break. But an equally high-profile show about the plight of inmates, their survival in a rigid prison hierarchy and under the constant scrutiny of correctional officers, is Orange Is the New Black, which ran on Netflix from 2013 to 2019. Love and drama, camaraderie and betrayal, life and death — despite its comedic tone, the show has enough dark moments to keep you riveted to the screen until the very end.
And if 2024 doesn't give you enough of the emotions that Orange Is the New Black evoked, we suggest you check out another series available on the streaming service. This is an Australian drama that, while released alongside the aforementioned Oitnb, offers an equally compelling plot, but has proven less popular outside of Australia.

The Phantom of the Opera is sometimes considered one of the Universal Monsters. I get it. From the 1925 version that gave us one of the most infamous unmasking sequences ever courtesy of the great Lon Chaney Sr., through the Hammer iteration with Herbert Lom, all the way up to the 2004 film that gave a lot of us our intro to Gerard Butler. Speaking of that movie, its inspiration and reason for its existence was the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical that premiered in October of 1986 and has had runs all the way through as recently as 2021. 1989 was the beginning of its U.S. tour and we got not one but Two Phantom movies that year. Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge is cheesy and may just be more well known due to our friend Joe Bob featuring it on the Last Drive In recently. Here in the JoBlo Horror kitchen today...

Ever since Miley Cyrus‘ mom Tish Cyrus tied the knot with “Prison Break” actor Dominic Purcell, there’s been a serious rumor going round the Internet about how Tish stole her daughter Noah Cyrus’ boyfriend who now happens to be Noah’s stepdad.
The rumors began in early February when a source claimed that there’s bad blood between Tish and Noah because Tish went behind her daughter to date and marry her daughter’s boyfriend.
The source alleged that Tish was fully aware that her daughter and the actor had a thing but still went ahead to “pursue” him. And to make matters worse the source claimed that Noah was barred from attending her mom’s wedding.
Although a different source claimed that Noah and Dominic were in an on-and-off relationship but had broken up before Tish came into the picture, it’s still uncertain if the rumors are...

It's not uncommon to see a successful TV show start talking about spinoffs. We have seen it done on several franchises, from FBI to NCIS to the One Chicago universe.
With the difficulty of getting high rankings and extra seasons, it makes sense (sort of) for TV execs to expand a storyline with new characters to turn into spinoffs. Why take the chance on a new series when you know you've got a current hit?
However, these moves also risk overexposure for the characters we love. I love a good crossover as much as the next person. But sometimes they be doing too much.
Is that the future for the already flailing ongoing series Fire Country and its new potential upcoming spinoff Sheriff Country? Let's discuss!

The world was shocked when Steven Yeun, Mark Hamill, and, several other stars joined hands in voicing the iconic animated series Invincible. Premiering in 2021, the series was the animated equivalent of The Boys and received worldwide acclaim and praise for not holding back.
The character of Steven Yeun, who is Invincible himself, is on the path of discovering his powers. Being a superhero requires a supervillain who could challenge him. Luckily (or unluckily) for Invincible, a supervillain is already on the hunt to kill him. As fate would have it, however, the villain in Invincible also suffers from the same weakness that Marvel’s Venom suffers from!

Staying true to its comic roots, Invincible has largely pivoted away from Omni-Man in its second season. After nearly beating his son to death in Season One, the J.K. Simmons-led character undergoes an emotional journey and finds his new home in Thraxa after saving their people from a black hole.
However, the character has remained largely absent in Season Two since the show’s premiere after getting gravely injured while battling the Viltrumites alongside his son and is ultimately taken into custody. Reflecting on his little appearance this season, Simmons elaborated on the character’s future moving forward.

This is proven in his short encounter with Anissa, the “reasonable” Viltrumite who went to Earth to convince Mark to take his job as Earth’s conqueror seriously.

Chicago – The names “Tj & Dave” are legion in the Chicago entertainment scene. The improvisation duo – T.J. Jagodowski and David Pasquesi – are improv performers who heighten the status of the city as a comedic destination. Now they’re featured in a indie TV pilot that will premiere at SXSW 2024 entitled “Bettendorf Talks.”
The show – produced by Shane Simmons and directed by Jack C. Newell – is a sharp and smart “show within a show” and a workplace comedy regarding the newest (and most unlikely) local talk show to come out of the titular Midwestern Quad City. Hosted by the “has been” comedy duo T.J. Jagodowski and David Pasquesi (who star as caricatures of themselves), the two attempt to mount a hit show in search of a sliver in their former glory. Other featured performers include Tim Kazurinsky, Sadieh Rifal, Brian King. Cassie Kramer, Nnamdi Ngwe, Emma Pope and Ike Reilly.

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus was totally unaware of the alleged “drama” unfolding in her family.
A source said: “Miley had no idea about the drama with Dominic. No idea at all,” reports ‘People’ magazine.
Earlier, it was reported widely in the media that her sister Noah Cyrus and Dominic Purcell were dating each other before his marriage to their mother Tish Cyrus, 56.
The insider further mentioned, quoted by ‘People’, “She confronted her mom about it. She thinks it’s a strange situation, but she loves her mom and wants her to be happy.”
Earlier, this week, a source told ‘People’ that the younger Cyrus sister was upset over her mom’s relationship with the ‘Prison Break’ star.

Miley Cyrus’ mother Tish, 56, reportedly “stole” her daughter Noah‘s boyfriend, Prison Break star Dominic Purcell, when she fell in love with him and tied the knot in August 2023.
Tish revealed that Dominic, 54, had reached out to her on Instagram in 2016, but she chose not to respond at that time. In 2022, after Tish’s divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus, Dominic reestablished contact.
However, several outlets have claimed that Noah, 24, had been involved with Dominic before Tish’s romantic involvement. Noah is reportedly distraught over Tish “stealing” Dominic from her.
Noah, understandably distraught, was not invited to attend her mother’s wedding and appeared to align herself with Billy Ray in the divorce proceedings.
The situation escalated to the point where Miley reportedly hired armed guards to ensure a peaceful ceremony, as a potential disturbance from Noah was anticipated.

Exclusive: Adam Beach (The Power of the Dog) has signed on to star in an untitled new film, based on the true story of decorated Native American fire captain Paul Fullerton, which will be directed and produced by Garry A. Brown (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).
Shooting in Dallas, Texas, the film watches as Fullerton’s life and family are turned dangerously upside down when a career-ending accident draws him into the uncharted world of marijuana, and a local district attorney and his small group of rogue police take the law into their own hands. It was in 2016 that Fullerton and his wife Maricel’s home was raided by a multi-agency task force. The couple was targeted and unjustly accused of selling and distributing marijuana, the effects of which are still being felt in an ongoing court process today.
Brown developed and wrote the project with Natalie Dickinson.

Thor was almost even bigger — from a muscle mass perspective, at least.
“Reacher” star Alan Ritchson told Men’s Health that he was the frontrunner for the MCU role back in 2011 — until he mailed in the audition.
“I didn’t take it seriously,” he said. “I was like, ‘They’ll throw me the part if I look like the guy; nobody really cares about acting.'”
It seems they did. After the audition, the casting directors told Ritchson’s team the role “had been his to lose,” as the magazine wrote, but Ritchson “hadn’t shown that he had ‘the craft.'” The rest is MCU (and Chris Hemsworth’s bank account’s) history. Hemsworth, it should be stated, is no slouch in the looks-like-Thor department either.
To his credit, Ritchson took the fallout from the flubbed audition far more seriously than the audition itself. He brought the “Avengers” scenes to an acting coach,...

Tish Cyrus is looking back at Hannah Montana, the show that launched her daughter Miley Cyrus’ career as well as helped her then-husband Billy Ray Cyrus rise to a new level of fame.
During a recent interview on Call Her Daddy with her oldest daughter, Brandi Cyrus, Tish opened up about how the popular Disney Channel series, which ran from 2006 to 2011, impacted their family. On the show, Miley starred as Miley Stewart, a teen with a secret pop star persona, alongside her dad Billy Ray, who played her onscreen father Robby Ray Stewart.
Tish said the show “became its own phenomenon,” which they were not expecting once it initially premiered. Brandi added, “Hannah Montana was just different. And I don’t think anyone could’ve ever anticipated it or thought how big it would be.”

During her acceptance speech for best record of the year at the 2024 Grammys for “Flowers,” Miley Cyrus made sure to thank her mom, Tish, and half-sister, Brandi, who attended the ceremony with her, noticeably omitting her other sister, Noah, and father, Billy Ray Cyrus. Cyrus ended her speech by saying, “I don’t think I forgot anyone, but I might have forgotten underwear.”
The moment suggests a possible estrangement between the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer and his daughter, which fans of the crooner have picked up on since the awards show moment. Cyrus, who turned heads in a naked dress made of 14,000 gold safety pins, won her first-ever Grammy earlier that night for best pop solo performance, also for “Flowers.”

Dwight Little’s legacy falls into one of three categories: horror, action, and TV. From the horror couplet that is Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and the Robert Englund-starring Phantom of the Opera to the action trilogy of Rapid Fire, Marked for Death, and Murder at 1600, as well as his TV work (The X-Files among his most-known projects), Little has managed to reinvent himself numerous times over his 30+ years career.
It’s not an easy task to stay relevant in an ever-evolving landscape, especially in the age of streaming, but Little’s instincts have always guided his creative hand.

From historical dramas to far-flung sci-fi adventures from big-name franchises, there are some fantastic shows and movies coming to Hulu this year!
As 2024 rolls in, with it comes a new batch of hotly anticipated shows and movies for every streaming service. Hulu has had some of the hottest shows on the block in recent years, though strikes by Hollywood’s biggest writers’ and actors’ unions likely threw off production schedules enough to ensure there are no new seasons of “The Bear” or “Only Murders in the Building” this year.
Hulu makes it a bit more difficult to say when its shows and movies are coming to the platform this year, as it has not unveiled its official release schedule for titles past February. However, there are a large number of shows and movies confirmed for the service this year, and you can check out The Streamable’s most-anticipated among those below!

The Streamable has compiled a list of the top 25 pilots in TV history, and where you can watch them now.
