Apple TV+ has just unveiled the trailer for “The Big Cigar,” the six-part limited series about Black Panther party founder Huey P. Newton (André Holland). The show tells the remarkable true story of how Newton, a film producer, and a whole crew of people involved in a fake movie production helped the political activist while he tried to evade the FBI in 1974.
The trailer introduces Holland as Newton and his revolutionary accomplishments, along Alessandro Nivola as producer Bert Schneider. The cast includes Tiffany Boone, Pj Byrne, Marc Menchaca, Moses Ingram, Rebecca Dalton, Olli Haaskivi, Jordane Christie, and Glynn Turman (guest stars include Taylor Jackson as Candice Bergen and Inny Clemons as Richard Pryor). With upbeat ’70s music and the peppy fonts to go with it, the vibe is more upbeat than one would expect of a drama thriller — but as the premise underscores, there’s always more story to tell.

André Holland takes on the role of revolutionary Huey P. Newton in the trailer for Apple TV+’s The Big Cigar.
Far from a straight biopic about the founder of the Black Panther Party, the six-episode limited series based on Joshuah Bearman’s magazine article of the same name delivers the high-impact energy of a heist as it tells the story of how Newton escaped the FBI and fled to Cuba with the help of famed Hollywood producer Bert Schneider (played by Alessandro Nivola) in perhaps the most ambitiously staged and fake movie production of all time.
“You’re the hot-shot producer, man, produce this,” Newton tells Schneider as they begin to cook up an elaborate plan to help the political activist evade a murder charge, as police attempt to pin him for the death of a 17-year-old sex trafficking victim in 1974.

Marque Richardson almost let imposter syndrome talk him out of starring in his new hit show, "UnPrisoned." Despite finding success in Netflix's "Dear White People" as the beloved Reggie Green (a role he played on TV for four seasons and in the 2014 movie), the 37-year-old actor tells Popsugar he wasn't sure he could "take up space" next to seasoned stars like Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo, aka his "Mount Rushmore of actors," in their Hulu series.

The first season of Prime Video’s “Hunters” series followed a fictional crew of civilians in late ‘70s New York who took out Nazis hiding in the US following Operation Paperclip. The team not only uncovered a German conspiracy to birth a Fourth Reich on American soil but discovered that one of their own was a former member of the Nazi regime.
The hit squad returns after almost a three-year hiatus for a second and final season this week, and features the entire team returning — including former MI6 agent and warrior nun Sister Harriet (Kate Mulvany), hacker and former Black Power movement member Roxy Jones (Tiffany Boone), munitions expert and Holocaust survivor Mindy Markowitz (Carol Kane), flamboyant actor and intel specialist Lonny Flash (Josh Radnor), former Marine Joe Torrance (Louis Ozawa Changchien) and new leader and codebreaker Jonah Heidelbaum (Logan Lerman).

From the first episode, I was utterly taken in by the Amazon Prime series Hunters. The darkly comic – and sometimes just plain dark – series impressed with the intriguing storyline and the fantastic talent behind and in front of the camera. And now, we have the return of this complex and fascinating series. The good news is the second season brings on a whole set of brilliant elements, including Jennifer Jason Leigh. She joins Logan Lerman, Al Pacino, Josh Radnor, Carol Kane, Greg Austin, Tiffany Boone, Louis Ozawa, and Lena Olin. The bad news, for this viewer at least, is that this is also its final season. And you can check it out now on Prime.
We recently spoke to several of the fine folks behind this excellent series. And happily, it was a joy to chat with Mr. Logan Lerman again. When I asked him about taking on a producer role,...

Plot: After an accident derails their exploits in Europe, The Hunters must band back together to hunt down history’s most infamous Nazi—Adolf Hitler—who’s hiding in South America. Meanwhile, a look to the past reveals Meyer Offerman (Al Pacino) encountering a dangerous threat that could unravel his secret and expose his true identity, with explosive reverberations for our Hunters.
Review: It is rare to see a television series go out on its own terms after such a short time on the air. Despite premiering three years ago, the second season of Hunters was delayed due to Covid-19. After so many years away, the dramatic series about Nazi hunters in the 1970s returns with a vastly different sophomore season which also serves as its last. I enjoyed the first season of this pulpy exploitation thriller, but I loved the second despite it feeling like a wholly different series.

The Prime Video Nazi-hunting drama series "Hunters" ended on a rather explosive cliffhanger in its first season, with the wild revelation that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun (Lena Olin) were still apparently alive and well in the 1970s. The first season cut to black on that shocking and potentially shark-jumping note over two years ago, and we haven't heard from the team of hunters since.
Luckily, their hiatus is about to come to an end. David Weil's series is set to return for its second season in January, and we'll finally find out what happened after captured Nazi-hunter Joe Mizushima (Louis Ozawa) sat down to break bread at a dinner table that ended up including the infamous dictator, his wife, and a creepy matching set of blonde boys who definitely look like clones. When it does return, German character actor Udo Kier will be playing the role of Hitler.

There just might be another crop of “Nine Perfect Strangers” on the horizon.
David E. Kelley’s Hulu drama, based on the novel by “Big Little Lies” author Liane Moriarty, looks like it’s headed for a Season 2 based on its category submissions for the 2022 Primetime Emmys.
Hulu confirmed to IndieWire that “Nine Perfect Strangers” will be submitted in the Drama categories at the Emmys rather than under the Limited Series banner. If history tells us anything, this means more “Nine Perfect” will be on the way. “Big Little Lies” went the same route with an unexpected second season following the success of the first, which HBO submitted as a Drama over Limited at the Emmys.
Creator Kelley co-wrote the first season of “Nine Perfect Strangers” alongside John-Henry Butterworth and Samantha Strauss, with Jonathan Levine directing. THR reported that Kelley is not expected to return as showrunner for Season 2 if greenlit.

“Nine Perfect Strangers” has been renewed for Season 2 at Hulu.
With the announcement, Season 1 of the series will now compete in the drama series category in this year’s awards race. The move will avoid the controversy that arose from fellow Nicole Kidman-David E. Kelley series “Big Little Lies,” which won multiple statuettes in the limited series category before a second season was announced.
At this time, no casting or plot info is available about Season 2. The first season of “Nine Perfect Strangers” debuted in August 2021.
Along with Kidman, the first season starred Melissa McCarthy, Michael Shannon, Luke Evans, Bobby Cannavale, Regina Hall, Samara Weaving, Melvin Gregg, Asher Keddie, Grace Van Patten, Tiffany Boone, and Manny Jacinto.
