As a result of a spectacular 8-season run that lasted from 2005 to 2012, House M.D. became one of the most iconic medical drama series ever produced. Led by the utterly talented Hugh Laurie, the series gripped its audiences with colorful characters, complex mysteries, and unconventional medical solutions.

The series ran for eight successful seasons, but plans for a ninth season never came to fruition. Despite the show’s popularity and Laurie’s willingness to continue, a combination of financial challenges and creative decisions led to the show’s ultimate cancellation after Season 8.

Few recent Oscar juggernauts have been quite as perplexing in their forward momentum as Edward Berger’s 2022 adaptation of “All Quiet on the Western Front.” A handsomely assembled but ultimately overproduced and hollow contribution to the increasingly thinning “War Is Bad” sect of cinema, it was more than a shock to see the film steamroll its way as the annual international film to break through in Hollywood that year, especially due to Berger’s undoubtedly competent but anonymously workmanlike approach at the helm. It makes complete sense, then, that Berger’s next gig—amid swirling rumors that he’ll be the next studio whipping boy for franchises like James Bond and the Bourne series—would be one more squarely positioned in the awards race, without that pesky obstacle of subtitles that Americans hate so fervently.
“Conclave” positions Berger rather comfortably at the Hollywood table, for while the film is, qualitatively speaking,...

The most recent Netflix data dump showed that titles licensed from HBO aren’t exactly topping the charts anymore.
Netflix has begun doing something truly unique in the streaming world: releasing viewership data for all of its shows every six months. The most recent data dump covering the first half of 2024 was unveiled by Netflix on Thursday, and embedded in the list of thousands of titles available on the streamer was a bit of disappointing news for HBO and its parent company. Warner Bros. Discovery entered into a licensing agreement with Netflix in 2023, sending it shows that had been exclusively available on Max, such as the Issa Rae comedy “Insecure,” the black comedy “Six Feet Under,” “Ballers” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and more. Those shows started strong on Netflix, but the most recent viewership dump shows that they have trailed off considerably, and even new arrivals like “Sex and the City...

MHzChoice has already imported almost four full seasons of the light-hearted French crime series, “Captain Marleau.” This upcoming release “Captain Marleau: Wind and Tides (Entre Vents et Marees)” is the two-part, three-hour pilot that hadn’t been part of the previous packages. For newbies, Marleau (Corinne Masiero) is a Columbo-esque itinerant police detective who goes from village to village to solve their latest murder(s). She drives in looking almost homeless, and plays the fool to mask her considerable skills. She also dissembles with irreverent wisecracks, annoying the witnesses and suspects while delighting viewers, and learning more than she would with straightforward questioning. Each episode is a new crime in a new locale with a mostly different cast, so the way she flusters the local cops just meeting her provides a reliable source of humor.

Hugh Laurie has never won an Emmy. That seems like an egregious oversight on behalf of TV academy voters, considering the British actor starred as one of the best TV characters of this century in “House.” Still, 10 nominations (we’ll get to those later) and zero wins.
He could finally break that losing streak with Netflix’s “All the Light We Cannot See.” Adapted from Anthony Doerr‘s 2014 novel of the same name, written by Steven Knight, and directed by Shawn Levy, this miniseries depicts the lives of two teenagers during WWII — one a blind French girl and the other a German boy forced to fight for the Nazi regime. Laurie features as Uncle Étienne, a reclusive, agoraphobic WWI veteran suffering from Ptsd. Laurie has always been a classy performer and he again brings a lot of heart, warmth, and intelligence here to this role, as noted by several critics.

(Welcome to Ani-time Ani-where, a regular column dedicated to helping the uninitiated understand and appreciate the world of anime.)
Episodic storytelling is a lost art. That is, knowing how to craft a compelling standalone episode of television you can watch on its own and get a complete story out of while still dropping enough character work and lore to carry the story from one episode to the next (and even into future seasons).
Granted, there are still exceptions that carry on this tradition, like the excellent anime spy sitcom "Spy x Family." Now comes an anime that delivers on the procedural genre, with a mix of "House M.D." and "Sherlock Holmes" set in medieval China that is equal parts thrilling, mysterious, and fun.

Andre Braugher, the two-time Emmy-winning actor who starred in the hit television series “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Homicide: Life on the Street,” died Monday after a brief illness. He was 61.
Braugher’s publicist Jennifer Allen confirmed the news of his death to Variety.
Braugher was known for his role as the upright Captain Raymond Holt on the police procedural comedy series “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” from 2013 until 2021. His character’s stoic and no-nonsense personality but deep sense of humanity made him an instant fan favorite of the show, especially when paired with Andy Samberg’s hotshot Det. Jake Peralta in a scene.
He won a lead actor Emmy for his role as Detective Frank Pembleton on NBC’s “Homicide: Life on Street” in 1998, his last year on the series. Braugher’s intense performance made him one of the breakout stars to emerge from the critically beloved police drama that hailed from Barry Levinson,...

Suits is one of the best legal dramas that actually managed to make the profession of lawyer cool again. The USA Network series follows Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who has a photographic memory and joins Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) at a prestigious law firm. The only problem with that is Mike didn’t actually go to law school and he doesn’t have a degree about which he has to lie to everyone. Suits ran for 9 brilliant seasons and ended its run around three years ago in 2019. So, if you are a Suits fan and miss the series here are some brilliant shows like Suits you can watch.

Grace Ofori-Attah’s medical drama on ITV, “Malpractice,” is a deeper look into the negligence and misdeeds that happen inside a hospital where organizations make millions by making use of illegal ways. Niamh Algar plays Dr. Lucinda Edwards, a doctor dealing with addiction who finds herself in a difficult situation when a patient in her care accidentally dies. What follows is a complete breakdown of her seemingly good life, with investigations launched against her and her family life falling apart. Ofori-Attah’s show is engaging, gripping, and shows the exact tensions that doctors are faced with on a regular basis while saving patients’ lives. In a world of unlimited content and some rather bad TV, “Malpractice” might be a welcome change for you if you’ve enjoyed shows like “Dr. House” or “Grey’s Anatomy.” Here’s what happens in this 5-part series:

Apple TV+ today announced that its international Emmy Award-winning global espionage thriller “Tehran” has been renewed for a third season, and that multi-Emmy Award nominee Hugh Laurie is set to join the ensemble cast. Created by Moshe Zonder, Dana Eden and Maor Kohn, and directed by Daniel Syrkin, season three of “Tehran” is now in production.
After its global debut on Apple TV+ last summer, which featured Glenn Close, the second season of “Tehran” was hailed as “nail-biting,” “thrilling” and “one of the most suspenseful Israeli shows ever made.” Season three of “Tehran” will expand its cast with Hugh Laurie in the role of Eric Peterson, a South African nuclear inspector. Laurie will star alongside Niv Sultan, who will reprise her widely acclaimed role as Mossad agent Tamar Rabinyan, as well as returning stars Shaun Toub and Shila Ommi, and new additions Sasson Gabai, Bahar Pars and Phoenix Raei.

Montreal-based Rezolution Pictures, behind Sundance winner “Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World,” and Winnipeg-based Op Little Bird have partnered with Fremantle International on Jennifer Podemski and Hannah Moscovitch’s original drama series “Little Bird,” which is set to premiere on Crave and Aptn in Canada.
The series, which stars Darla Contois and Lisa Edelstein, follows the life of Bezhig Little Bird, a victim of the Sixties Scoop in Saskatchewan wherein First Nations children were abducted and placed in foster homes before being put up for adoption by white families.
Told in parallel timelines, “Little Bird” quickly contrasts Bezhig’s childhood with her engagement party – only this time as Esther Rosenblum, a woman in her 20s on the cusp of life, and suddenly wracked with repressed memories. As a showrunner, Podemski, who is herself both Indigenous and Jewish, is perfectly positioned to give authenticity and meaning to the matter. She...

The HBO series "Avenue 5" is one of the funniest shows on television right now, and if you aren't watching, you're missing out. It's set in the future when luxury cruises on spaceships are common. This particular ship, Avenue 5, is owned by obnoxious billionaire Herman Judd (Josh Gad). On one particular cruise, the biggest yoga class ever is held, but after a malfunction, the giant group of bendy people is thrown against one wall, knocking the ship off course. Now their short cruise is going to take three whole years.
The other issue? The only person who could have fixed it is dead. The crew everyone sees is made up of actors, including Hugh Laurie's character Ryan Clark, while the actual crew (minus one engineer) is shoved in a crappy room in the bowels of the ship. Everything goes awry. If this helps you imagine what's going on with this series,...

Miles (Jack Black) and Graham (Jude Law) are everything you want and more in romcom love interests. Funny, kind, and vulnerable, the two men are the perfect choices for Iris and Amanda, respectively.
However, there are a number of other actors who either cameo or appear in some of their earliest film roles.

The Holiday is a Christmas classic. A cosy romcom set between snow-covered Surrey and sunny Los Angeles, the film tells the story of two women, Iris (Kate Winslet) and Amanda (Cameron Diaz), who decide to swap houses for the festive season.
With each in a new place, and both having sworn off love thanks to terrible experiences, Iris and Amanda somehow both managed to find “the one”, as well as learn new things about themselves along the way.
Miles (Jack Black) and Graham (Jude Law) are everything you want and more in romcom love interests. Funny, kind, and vulnerable, the two men are the perfect choices for Iris and Amanda, respectively.
However, there are a number of other actors who either cameo or appear in some of their earliest film roles.
Here are the ones you might not remember.

If you haven't watched the HBO comedy series "Avenue 5" yet, you're missing out. The first season premiered days before lockdown began in 2020, and maybe you were occupied with other things. Funnily enough, because of the plot, the show actually gets a lot right about isolation. It hits differently now, as the kids say. It's also one of the funniest, most absurd, and delightful shows on television.
The story is set 40 years in the future, where a group of civilians is aboard a massive spaceship for an eight-week cruise. When the ship gets knocked off course and ends up with a 3.5-year travel time, everything goes haywire. Not only that, but the ship's billionaire owner (Josh Gad) has hired a bunch of actors to play crew members, so he and the passengers don't have to look at anyone who isn't attractive. The ship's "captain" is played by Hugh Laurie, who uses an American accent,...

At the upcoming Golde Globes, a TV series about a disastrous futuristic space cruise around Jupiter and an inclusive film adaptation of Charles Dickens’s 19th-century set “David Copperfield” both hope to compete for comedy trophies. Though they share little in common on the surface, “Avenue 5” and “The Personal History of David Copperfield” both hail from satirical mastermind Armando Iannucci. The Emmy-winning writer and director was behind the films “In The Loop” and “The Death of Stalin” and TV series “The Thick of It” and “Veep,” and his latest works could impressively score both TV and film nominations this year.
Though Iannucci has no Globes to his name, his TV brainchild “Veep” scored seven bids over its seven-season run, including five for star Julia Louis-Dreyfus and two for Best Comedy Series. Although his features have had success elsewhere — “In the Loop” scored a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar nomination for Iannucci and his co-writers,...

After the successful premiere of Venom starring Tom Hardy, the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters is moving ahead at full speed with the development of several movies and spinoffs. And according to a new report, their untitled Marvel film slated for release in 2021 will involve Madame Web.
At this point, everyone’s wondering about whether Sony’s lineup of movies will tie into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. If the new Morbius trailer is any indication, given Michael Keaton’s brief Vulture cameo, then both the Mouse House and Sony are moving toward a possible crossover. And even beyond that, Tom Hardy has been teasing us relentlessly about the possibility of a Spider-Man vs. Venom story.
But what about other superheroes and villains related to Spider-Man? Well, as recently reported by Variety, the “secret Marvel movie” that Sony is currently developing has found its director. Apparently, S.J. Clarkson, known for helming episodes on Dexter,...

A new trailer for festive horror movie Hanukkah gives us a last look at horror legend Sig Haig, who sadly passed away in September at the age of 80.
Many years ago, Judah Lazarus (Haig), a serial murderer known as the Hanukiller, was shot dead right before he was about to sacrifice his young son Obadiah. In the intervening time, Obadiah disappeared without a trace, only to now resurface and take on his father’s bloody work as a force of warped morality, killing Jews not affording proper reverence to their faith. A number of twenty-somethings become targets of his wrath and, aided by a creepy rabbi who appears suspiciously knowledgeable about events, must embrace the teachings of the Torah if they want to survive the holidays.

Actor Mark Hamill has taken to Twitter to give props to Disney CEO Bob Iger for letting a terminally ill Star Wars fan see The Rise of Skywalker in an early private screening.
The Rowans Hospice in Hampshire, England, recently reached out to Disney via social media asking the Mouse House to fulfil a patient’s wish to see the final instalment in the Sequel Trilogy before he passes away. Last Thursday, Iger tweeted that the request had been granted, confirming that the unnamed man was able to watch the film with his family.
The news warmed the heart of many a Star Wars fan, including apparently Hamill himself, who shared an article on the story via Twitter, along with the following message:

Disney is the most successful movie studio by a mile. They’ve got Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar and after acquiring 20th Century Fox, you can add Deadpool and the rest of the X-Men franchise to that stacked lineup, too. Oh, I almost forgot. They also have a little property in Avatar with endless sequels in the works. Long story short: the Mouse House is doing just fine financially.
It also means they can afford a few misfires along the way. Dumbo and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil didn’t connect with audiences, but it’s okay because Avengers: Endgame, The Lion King and Toy Story 4 made (checking the numbers) all the money.
Perhaps Disney’s most notorious flop though is the 2012 sci-fi fantasy, John Carter. Andrew Stanton had directed two of the more successful Pixar films in Finding Nemo and Wall-e, so the studio decided to give him a shot at live-action.

Back in early 2017 filmmaker Rachel Lears came up with an idea for a documentary that wound up changing her life.
“Rachel was looking for a subject to follow right after the 2016 presidential election,” her husband and filmmaking collaborator Robin Blotnick explains. “She read an article about a group called Brand New Congress that was recruiting ordinary people to run for congress…She thought if she followed these organizers something interesting would come up.”
Something interesting did indeed come up when Lears crossed paths with one of those fresh-faced political upstarts: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
“I met her in March of 2017 at a gathering of potential candidates in Kentucky,” Lears tells Deadline. “I was certainly very, very impressed with her and her ability to speak about really complex issues, and in ways that connected with regular people.”

It’s Disney’s world and we’re just living in it. Honestly, when it was announced that “Frozen II” would be released this weekend, it was a guarantee that the Mouse House would trounce the rest of the box office competition. So, we can’t say we’re surprised that it actually happened. However, it’s the actual totals that were put up that are probably even above Disney’s huge expectations.
Released six years after the original film, “Frozen II” earned a whopping $127 million domestically and a new animated record of $350 million worldwide.

The streaming service has commissioned Oni, created by Daisuke “Dice” Tsutsumi, former art director for Pixar.
