Writer, showrunner, and director Felicia D. Henderson has signed with Independent Artist Group (Iag), Variety has learned exclusively. She continues to be repped by Yorn Levine Barnes.
Henderson was most recently showrunner and executive producer on the Netflix series “First Kill,” which followed the budding romantic relationship between two teen girls — one a vampire and the other a vampire hunter.
Henderson began her entertainment career in the NBC management training program. Her desire to be part of the creative side of the industry led to her applying to and being accepted into the Warner Bros. Writers’ Workshop. From there, she landed jobs on shows like “Family Matters,” “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” “Sister Sister,” and “Moesha.”
Henderson then went on to develop the Showtime series “Soul Food,” which was based on George Tillman Jr.’s film of the same name. The show ran for four seasons and won multiple NAACP Image Awards.

Stephen King‘s novel Fairy Tale had been set for a movie adaptation from Universal, you may recall, but it looks like those plans have changed. The new plan? A television series.
Deadline reports today that A24 is now on board to turn Stephen King’s Fairy Tale into a 10-episode series, with J.H. Wyman (“Fringe”) serving as the showrunner.
The outlet notes, “Paul Greengrass, who wrote a script and expected to direct the [originally planned] feature, is expected to still be in the middle of things. That script will be expanded by Greengrass and J.H. Wyman.”
Peter Rice will be executive producer alongside Greengrass, Wyman and King.
Deadline further explains, “… the book clocked in at 600-plus pages. It was impossible to fold it all into a two-hour film. Universal let it go. Rice, who had read and loved the book, put it all back together at A24, with Greengrass remaining and Wyman joining him.

Exclusive: A24 has taken on the Stephen King bestseller Fairy Tale. The dark fantasy will be mounted as a 10-episode series. Paul Greengrass, who wrote a script and expected to direct the feature, is expected to still be in the middle of things. That script will be expanded by Greengrass and J.H. Wyman, who will be the showrunner and whose credits include Fringe, Almost Human and Debris.
Peter Rice will be executive producer alongside Greengrass, Wyman and King. I’ve heard Greengrass will likely be involved as director, but his deal is not yet done. The other deals have closed.
The novel sparked a bidding battle back when it was auctioned in late 2022. Universal Pictures closed the deal, on the strength of the relationship the studio has with Greengrass over the Bourne Identity films, United 93 and News of the World.

Fans of the ABC medical drama Doctor Odyssey have started to suspect that things aren’t exactly what they appear on the show. Actor Joshua Jackson has discussed this theory. However, he also revealed one important factor that complicates things.
A Medical Drama At Sea
Doctor Odyssey revolves around Max, a doctor aboard a luxury cruise ship, The Odyssey. Actor Joshua Jackson plays Dr. Max Bankman himself, who tries to help patients with the help of his crew.
In the first episode, it’s revealed that Max himself was the first Covid-19 patient in the United States. While it nearly killed him, he claimed to have survived with the help of his coworkers.
Joshua Jackson – YouTube
Despite this, fans suspect things might not be as they appear. One popular fan theory alleges that Max didn’t survive his ordeal and The Odyssey serves as some sort of vessel to the afterlife.

If you tell anyone that your significant other has somehow been replaced by a demon who walks/talks/behaves similarly but not quite like the person; then chances are they’re not gonna believe you. Quite naturally, when Michelle tries to tell her friend cum neighbor, Kim, that her husband John is not quite the John she knows; Kim finds it hard to believe. She even jokingly brings up things like body snatching and all that; before showing genuine concern about Michelle’s well-being.
However, we, the audience, know for a fact that Michelle is telling the truth. Because director Sarah Young’s horror short Not Him begins with a scene as terrifying as Michelle waking up in the middle of the night and finding her husband on top of her.

Sugar was one of the two best detective series to air in some time, and Apple TV+ has faith that the story can continue.
Colin Farrell is a very busy man. He’s currently playing Oz Cobb on the HBO series The Penguin, but he’s got enough energy and talent to star in two shows.
In the Apple TV+ series, Farrell plays John Sugar, a private detective who is incredibly compassionate toward his clients and everyone else.

She successfully mounted a buzzy show at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Gavin’s My Therapist is Dying, a hilarious yet arresting hour of narrative-driven comedy, was one of the hottest tickets at the Fringe, where it sold out. Extra shows were added and those sold out too. The show chronicles how an anxiety-ridden Gavin deals with finding out her long-time therapist has been diagnosed with cancer.
Before comedy, Gavin was a software engineer at MIT Lincoln Lab where she worked on national security projects. She went on from there to write the curriculum for the nonprofit organization Girls Who Code before ditching computers for comedy.

All episodes of Twilight of the Gods are now streaming on Netflix, and the review embargo for Zack Snyder's adult animated Norse mythology series lifted around the same time the show premiered.
This isn't always a great sign, but the first wave of reviews have been mostly very positive.
Snyder's work has rarely gone over well with critics, but his last Netflix collaboration - the Rebel Moon movies - really came in for a drubbing. So far, Twilight of the Gods has fared a lot better.
Though there are some negative verdicts, the majority of write-ups praise the animation style, world-building, voice-acting and bloody action - although it sounds like Snyder may have overindulged in the graphic violence and sex a little too much for some tastes.

Every small step the protagonists take forward is met with grueling steps back, courtesy of the mysterious puzzle box of horrors in the propulsive MGM+ series “From.” Or rather, the harder the humans fight to escape their bizarre purgatory, the crueler the enigmatic evil gets, aiming to crush their spirits before devouring them. And it’s evolving. “From” Season 3 picks up immediately from where Season 2 left off, and while the first five episodes screened for critics put us no closer to answers, one thing is certain: the gloves are now fully off for the horror.
Time is of the essence this season. The dawning realization that resources were growing scarce has snowballed into the very real possibility of starvation. Boyd (Harold Perrineau) faces a ticking clock of his own with an illness, one that’s emboldened him to fight back in his relentless pursuit to find salvation for the survivors.

Zack Snyder's adult animated Norse mythology series, Twilight of the Gods, is set to premiere on Netflix on September 19, and the streamer has now released an action-packed final trailer.
This full-length promo spotlights plenty of bloody battles, as a mortal warrior named Sigrid enlists the aid of Loki (probably not a great idea) to wage war against Thor after the vengeful God of Thunder murders her entire family.
"In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds, and great despair, Leif (Stuart Martin), a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid (Sylvia Hoeks), an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love," reads the updated synopsis. "On their wedding night, Sigrid and Leif survive a wrath of terror from Thor (Pilou Asbæk), which sets them — and a crew of crusaders — on a merciless mission for vengeance, against all odds. This heroic story of love, loss, and revenge,...

Meghan Markle appeared in different shows before marrying Prince Harry. MEGA90210MEGA
Before she married Prince Harry, Meghan Markle made a shocking appearance on the pilot episode of 90210. She played the role of Wendy, the woman who was caught orally stimulating Dustin Milligan's Ethan in his parked car at their school.
Meghan's name did not appear in the credits, as the show simply referred to her as "hot girl."
The scene resurfaced several times after she became a royal, with the public calling her out over the Nsfw scene in the CW's teen drama.
"Meghan was hesitant to shoot the scene, but struggling actresses can’t be picky," Finding Freedom authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand said.

In 1977, ABC made waves with The Love Boat, and now, 47 years later, the network is making another run at a high-seas hit set aboard a luxury ocean liner. And since it’s disembarking from the mind of Ryan Murphy, the überproducer behind the action-packed 9-1-1 duo and the over-the-top American Horror Story franchise, y’all are in for something exciting and new. “This is Ryan’s fantasy version of a cruise ship,” agrees star Joshua Jackson during a break from filming in Los Angeles. “The stakes are high, everything’s elevated, but it also plays [at times] like a comedy and is mostly just easy and breezy.” After spending the past several years in such dark turns as The Affair, Dr. Death, and Fatal Attraction, the Dawson’s Creek favorite is clearly thrilled that his first network-tv role since Fox’s Fringe is a much sunnier sort of fella. “Yeah, this is...

For many years, A24 has been attempting to adapt the long-running slasher film series "Friday the 13th" into a prequel TV series called "Crystal Lake." For a few promising moments, Bryan Fuller was set to be the showrunner, but like so many Fuller projects, he eventually parted ways with the project over creative differences. This was in addition to the continued legal woes surrounding the "Friday the 13th" movies, leaving director/producer Sean Cunningham butting heads with original "Friday the 13th" screenwriter Victor Miller as to who owns the rights to the 1980 hit.
Charlize Theron was once eyed to star in "Crystal Lake" as Jason Voorhees' mom, Pamela Voorhees, but that may no longer be the case now that the series has undergone some reworking in the wake of Fuller's departure. That reworking may finally be in full swing once again, as, according to a new report from Variety, Brad Caleb Kane...

On Halloween of 2022, it was announced that original Friday the 13th screenwriter Victor Miller – fresh off winning the U.S. copyright to the 1980 film after a lawsuit that stretched on for years – was teaming up with his lawyer Marc Toberoff, franchise rights holder Rob Barsamian, production company A24, the Peacock streaming service, and showrunner Bryan Fuller (whose credits include Hannibal and Pushing Daisies) to develop a new Friday the 13th streaming series called Crystal Lake. Things were moving ahead at a good pace, filming was expected to begin this July, but then the project hit a speed bump at the end of April with the firing of Fuller and his frequent collaborator Jim Danger Gray.

Brad Caleb Kane, welcome to Camp Crystal Lake.
The “It: Welcome to Derry” co-showrunner is now taking over A24’s “Friday the 13th” prequel series for Peacock. Kane was announced as the new showrunner after Bryan Fuller parted ways with the project.
Kane will serve as the series creator, writer, and executive producer, along with original 1980 “Friday the 13th” screenwriter Victor Miller. Other EPs are Miller’s copyright attorney Marc Toberoff, as well as a pair of Robert Barsamians: Robert M. Barsamian, and Robert P. Barsamian.
“From the moment I watched Jason Voorhees squeeze a guy’s eyeball out of its socket (in glorious 3D!) at the tender age of 8 years old, I knew my creative path was someday destined to converge with The Man Behind The Mask,” Kane said in a press statement. “Nothing defined my childhood more than growing up in the golden age of the slasher flick,...

The “Friday the 13th” prequel series “Crystal Lake” has brought on Brad Caleb Kane as the new creator, showrunner, and executive producer.
The show hails from A24 and was ordered to series at Peacock in 2022. Kane’s hiring comes roughly three months after the original series creator, Bryan Fuller, was fired from the project.
No plot details are available for the series, but in the original 1980 film, Jason Voorhees is a child who drowns at Camp Crystal Lake. His death leads his mother Pamela to seek revenge against the counselors she blamed for her son’s death. Jason then became the antagonist beginning with the second film in the franchise.

It’s that time of the year again: Edinburgh has come alive.
With three different festivals taking over the Scottish capital for the month of August (Film, TV and, of course, the Fringe), the city is bursting at the seams with creativity.
That’s what the 77th Edinburgh International Film Festival (Eiff) director Paul Ridd hopes, anyway. In his words, he’s worked to reboot this year’s event and embrace “the spirit of discovery” in an impressive slate of projects premiering, around half of them world premieres. With Nora Fingscheidt’s The Outrun starring Saoirse Ronan, Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus and the European premiere of Colman Domingo film Sing Sing among the lineup, Ridd has shown a commitment to take the Eiff to a league above.
“The long-term plan for me would be to [look at] the models of the likes of Sundance and Telluride,” Ridd tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Audiences have grown accustomed to dark visions of what could have been. Television alone has been bombarding the public with intriguing dramas that rewrite history, thus showing us the darker recesses of human behavior. Classics such as Sliders and Fringe or modern binge-worthy shows like Dark Matter and The Man in the High Castle make us thankful for our world and the choices we’ve made while horrifying us with glimpses into bleaker universes.
Even some of television’s most popular sitcoms have shown us what could have been, and while they might be trying to create laughs, they still have indirectly sent the odd shiver down the spines of viewers as well. Let’s take a look at some of the most hilarious, yet terrifying alternate realities in sitcoms.

It’s a common misconception that Hollywood is at the top of everything sci-fi. Ever since the ’40s, Japan has actually dominated this field, both in the live-action and animated mediums. China has been making great strides in the genre too. And then there’s the South Korean entertainment industry that’s at the forefront of everything that’s synonymous with the genre. But, as the Asian country that makes the most number of films in a year, India has always fallen short for some reason or another. Yes, even the ones that we consider to be “good” are because we are nostalgic about them, not because they’re qualitatively superior to their peers. That said, recently, I feel that we’re making some competent stuff in the form of Baar Baar Dekho, Churuli, Minnal Murali, and Ayalaan. And, I guess for the first time ever, the Hindi entertainment industry...

Long-time series fans are looking at Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to revive the franchise. Especially after 2023’s Modern Warfare 3, fans would argue that now might be the best time for Treyarch to facilitate the series’ redemption.
So far, the game’s subject matter looks as controversial as any other game in the Black Ops subseries, and fans are relatively happy about it. Additionally, there might be more good news in store, as rumors of six remastered maps have recently come to light.
6 Remastered Maps, Including Fringe and Nuketown, May Be Coming to Black Ops 6
Black Ops 6 seems precisely what the franchise needs after fans’ hostile response to Modern Warfare 3. The latter had a lackluster offering in every gamemode and what microtransaction practices that have become way too commonplace for the franchise.

The filmmaker was known for his shows Lost and Fringe, as well as for helming the action film Mission Impossible III.
