Stewart, the MGM+ series follows Isherwood “Ish” Williams, a young man who comes out of months of isolation and learns that most of the world’s population has been wiped out because of a mysterious illness.

Earth Abides stars Alexander Ludwig, Jessica Frances Dukes, Aaron Tveit, Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, Elyse Levesque, and Luisa D’Oliveira.

It might seem like every Disney movie that has come out in the last few years has quickly been given a sequel, but that hasn't always been the case. For many years, sequels were few and far between, and in the '90s, they often went straight to video.

Disney is just one of many production companies to add more and more sequels -- not all of them good -- extending the life of the stories they tell in some of their most iconic films. While some audience members worry if a sequel can ever live up to the hype of the original film, plenty of viewers know that sometimes those sequels can blow right past their predecessor and on to greatness.

The fifth movie in the Witch Mountain franchise, Race to Witch Mountain, is the most recent installment of this science fiction tale. Dwayne Johnson stars as Jack Bruno,...

FX has announced their 2023 summer schedule and premiere dates, and released details on the upcoming seasons of returning shows What We Do in the Shadows, The Bear, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Reservations Dogs. The network’s premiere date announcement also revealed the disappointing news that the award-winning adult animated comedy Archer will wrap up with its upcoming 14th season.

FX’s summer slate will include the premieres of The Full Monty and the Justified sequel, Justified: City Primeval, starring Timothy Olyphant. And new teaser trailers and posters dropped along with the announcement of FX’s summer premiere dates.

The Dates:

June 7 – FX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, season 16: First two episodes beginning at 10 p.m. Et/Pt on Fxx and streaming the next day on Hulu. June 14 – FX’s The Full Monty, new series: All eight episodes available at premiere exclusively on Hulu. June 22 – FX’s The Bear,...

The Full Monty sequel is headed to Hulu this summer, and the streaming service has released a preview and key art for the comedy-drama sequel series.

Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy, Lesley Sharp, Hugo Speer, Paul Barber, Steve Huison, Wim Snape, and Tom Wilkinson are returning to appear in the follow-up series 25 years after the original British film’s release. This story revolves around what became of the group of six unemployed men who bared it all to change their lives.

Paul Clayton, Miles Jupp, Sophie Stanton, Phillip Rhys Chaudhary, Dominic Sharkey, Natalie Davies, Arnold Oceng, Aiden Cook, and Tupele Dorgu also star in the new series.

Remember "The Full Monty," friends? The British comedy from director Peter Cattaneo and "Slumdog Millionaire" writer Simon Beaufoy earned critical acclaim across the board for its funny and charming story about six unemployed men, including four former steel workers, who decide to form a male striptease act in order to get through some tough times. The film went on to land Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Original Musical or Comedy Score, even though it only won the latter. 

Now, "The Full Monty" will have a chance at winning a whole new slate of awards because it's getting a sequel TV series at FX (on Hulu) with original cast members Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy, Lesley Sharp, Hugo Speer, Paul Barber, Steve Huison, Wim Snape, and Tom Wilkinson all reprising their roles from the movie. It's been 25 years since they bared it all, so...

We’re getting a first look at FX’s The Full Monty, the eight-part follow-up to the BAFTA-winning movie. FX has released some of the first images from the series that will premiere in June (date Tba) and stream exclusively in the U.S. on Hulu.

Set 25 years after the film, the eight-episode series will follow the same band of brothers as they navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield and society’s crumbling healthcare, education, and employment sectors. The comedy-drama will uncover what happened to the gang after they put their kit back on, exploring their brighter, sillier and more desperate moments. It will also highlight how the fiercely funny world of these working-class heroes – still residing in Sheffield – has changed in the intervening decades.

The original movie’s screenwriter Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) returns, along with co-writer Alice Nutter (Accused), and Uberto Pasolini (Nowhere Special) also coming back as executive producer.

Exclusive: Phillip Rhys (Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists) is set for a recurring role on the upcoming second season of CBS All Access’ anthology series Tell Me A Story.

Based on a Spanish format, Tell Me A Story takes the world’s most beloved fairy tales and reimagines them as a dark and twisted psychological thriller. Season 2 will feature the tales of three iconic princesses – Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.

Rhys will play Damien Hewett, a slick, straight shooting record executive to rising country music singer Ashley Rose (Natalie Alyn Lind).

Tell Me a Story is executive produced by Williamson and Kapital’s Kaplan and Dana Honor.

Rhys can currently be seen recurring in Freeform’s Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists as Michael as well as Murphy in Syfy’s Nightflyers.

The Perfectionists is filled with a stellar cast, but there is one star who is truly out of this world. While Ava is played by Disney Channel star Sofia Carson, the actor who plays her dad, Phillip Rhys, is also a Disney Channel alum. Back in the 21st century 1999, the English actor played Proto Zoa in Zenon! Yep, he was the blond lead singer of Microbe who brought us the futuristic pop hit "Supernova Girl." Is your heart going boom, boom yet?

Of course, Zenon and Zenon: The Zequel aren't the only projects the actor is known for. He also starred on 24, Nip/Tuck, Survivors, and Nightflyers, and made guest appearances on Glee and Doctor Who. Hopefully we'll be seeing more of him on The Perfectionists! In the meantime, relive that iconic performance ahead!

24 alum Phillip Rhys is set for a recurring role in Syfy's Nightflyers, a supernatural thriller based on the novella by George R.R. Martin and the 1987 film.

Syfy is adapting George R.R. Martin’s novella and 1987 movie, Nightflyers, as a TV series. And it's getting an ambitious release strategy.

"Nightflyers is a haunted house story on a starship. It's Psycho in space." - George R.R. Martin

Nightflyers stands as one of George R.R. Martin’s more intriguing pre-Game of Thrones space science-fiction offerings, starting as a 1980 novella, eventually inspiring a schlocky limited-release 1987 film adaptation. However, it appears that the Literary God of Death’s old property is about to be reincarnated as a television series over at Syfy.

Last year, the genre-aimed NBCU cable outlet ordered a pilot for Nightflyers, which has since expanded into a series pickup (Netflix has first run rights outside the U.S.). Additionally, Nightflyers recently received a bountiful boon of €850,000 from the Irish Film Board and will soon begin filming at Limerick’s Troy Studios.

Chicago – Some movies don’t just use cliches, they practically bathe in them, finding little other way to tell their story. Despite yet another strong performance from Oscar winner Melissa Leo (“The Fighter”), “The Space Between,” being broadcast uncut on the tenth anniversary of 9/11 this Sunday, is such a movie. She keeps it interesting but the film takes a potentially resonant story and deflates it with paper-thin storytelling.

TV Rating: 1.5/5.0

Given the amount of film product produced in the last ten years and our cultural need to comment on real-life events with a 24-hour news cycle, there have actually been surprisingly few dramatic tales spun around the events of 9/11/01. Perhaps the day is still too raw to be effectively examined in a fictional way, but the problem with “The Space Between” is how little it actually attempts to do so. It feels nearly exploitative in its use of the day...

USA announced it has purchased the rights to The Space Between written and directed by Travis Fine stars Melissa Leo (The Fighter).

The film stars Leo as a flight attendant "who forms a bond with a 10-year-old Pakistani-American boy traveling by himself on 9/11." The supporting cast includes, AnnaSophia Robb, Phillip Rhys, Anthony Keyvan and Brad William Henke.

This marks the first festival acquisition for USA. The movie premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The Space Between will air on Sept. 11, 2011, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks.

The movie looks good and I am glad that it will be aired. It is a shame that it will not make it to the big screen. I am guessing that USA will likely release the film in DVD/Blu-ray. 

What are your thoughts on this news?...

I left my cell phone at home the other day by accident. It took only twenty minutes before I started to panic and feel completely disconnected from the world around me. We, as a society, have become entirely dependent on technology to help us continue to survive. We have forgotten the basics that got us to where we are now.

Survivors, a remake of the popular 70s post-apocalyptic British television series, shows us what might happen if we were forced back to square one: A world without electricity, food production, or water. As the title suggests, the show follows a group of people who have managed to survive a worldwide influenza pandemic that has wiped out most of humanity. My review of the first two seasons (and, due to its recent cancellation, the entire series) of BBC’s Survivors on DVD after the jump:

While watching Survivors, I’ve come...

A remake of the original Survivors series, this TV show debuted in November 2008. It was created by BAFTA Award-winner Adrian Hodges (Primeval) and was inspired by the original Terry Nation novel.

This version of Survivors is set in the present day and focuses on a group of people who have survived viral pandemic known as the Eurpoean Flu. With the rest of the world's population dead, these individuals must learn to survive and work together without the structure and security of an organized society and law and order.

Performers in this post-apocalyptic series include Julie Graham, Phillip Rhys, Zoe Tapper, Shaun Dingwall, Paterson Joseph, Freema Agyeman, Chahak Patel, Nikki Amuka-bird and Max Beesley.

The last episode of Survivors aired in February and it was subsequently announced that the series was cancelled, leaving the TV show with a cliffhanger...

Hold your tongues if you live in the UK and have already seen this season, but the Us is just now getting the second season of the drama, “Survivors”. This show follows survivors of a deadly flu-like plague as they try to establish a society. The premiere of season two begins tonight on BBC America.

The first season of the show was about gathering the survivors together and exploring what’s left of their world. This season opens with the survivors in conflict with remains of the old government and those trying to establish a new regime.

Check out what the show is about:

Set in the present day, Survivors focuses on the world in the aftermath of a virulent disease that scoured the planet, wiping out 99% of the human race. Only a lonely few are left to start over in a devastated world where everything that was once safe...

What if the end of the world came and you survived it? The new BBC America series Survivors explores just that idea. While it’s being presented as pure sci-fi, near future drama, the elements of horror are inescapable. The series is well acted by players who are relative unknowns outside of the UK (see full series one cast list below). A nod must be given to those who have deftly casted the core group which seems to have just the right amount of tense expectancy about the world as it now is.

The first four hours of the series have only begun to explore the range of emotions any survivor would experience. Imagine the slow realization of the growing deaths around you. In this instance, a rouge virus whose mortality rate is something close to 99% has come for humanity. At least it wasn’t a terror attack or asteroid from space.

Survivors star Phillip Rhys has admitted that he worried about his character's upcoming romance when he was first informed about the plot. Upcoming episodes of the show's second series will see Rhys's character Al fall for Robyn Addison's Sarah, a story which Rhys now backs. "When it was first presented to me I thought, 'Wow - that's gonna be a tough one to pull off'," he told Digital Spy. "If you remember, last year she betrayed him. "But (more)...

Survivors star Phillip Rhys has said that he understands the producer's decision to write one of the cast out of the show. Late last year, Adrian Hodges teased that a main character would be killed off before the end of series two. Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Rhys - Al Sadiq on the apocalyptic drama - said that the story was necessary "for the sake of the show". "I understood it," he said. "For the sake of the show, it worked. Any of us can be sacrificed and we get that. "We didn't know (more)...

BBC America has announced the launch date for post-apocalyptic drama series Survivors. The much-delayed Survivors, which is an adaptation of the cult classic 1970s series (itself based on Terry Nation's novel), will have its Us premiere on Saturday, February 13th at 8 pm Et/Pt, before shifting to its regular timeslot at 9 pm Et/Pt the following week. The series tracks the adventures of a group of people who survive a global viral holocaust that wipes out 99 percent of the human race's population and who struggle to stay alive in the face of unspeakable odds following this global catastrophe. In the official scheduling announcement, BBC America refers to the "twelve-episode season" of Survivors, which is a sign that the digital cabler intend to air the first two UK seasons of Survivors back-to-back. Season One, which aired in the UK in 2008, was comprised of six episodes and the second season of...

If you’re wondering where Freema Agyeman went after leaving Doctor Who behind, you will be pleased to know she became a Survivor.

Agyeman was written out of the third season of Torchwood in a feud between rival production channels.

BBC Drama Productions pursued the remake rights for some time before finally obtaining them in 2007 and handing production over...
