In a matter of hours, it appears that the NBA has essentially locked up 2/3 of its domestic broadcast partners — ESPN and Prime Video — for the next decade.
Don’t look now, hoops fans, but the basketball drama is not solely contained to the hardwood, as the NBA’s broadcast rights negotiations are getting increasingly exciting. On Friday afternoon, it was reported that the NBA had essentially agreed to a deal with ESPN for the league’s top-tier broadcast rights, and then, just a few hours later, The Athletic reported that the Association has a framework for a deal with Prime Video. If that framework eventually becomes a signed contract, this would mark the first time that the basketball league has moved nationally available games to a streaming platform.
Key Details: Amazon’s deal will be for a substantial number of games and could include conference championship series games as well.

Zendaya is ready to serve up some love, and a few nasty tennis shots as well in her newest movie “Challengers.” The film has seen its release date bounce around and was due to premiere in theaters in September 2023 before seeing the date shift because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes to Friday, April 26, 2024.

If you've been wondering when we'll meet the mysterious, potentially deadly old brother of our favorite reward-seeker, Colter Shaw, you are in Big-time luck.
News dropped officially via Justin Hartley's Ig page that Jensen Ackles -- yes, That Jensen Ackles -- would be joining Tracker as Russell Shaw. And the internet is going Wild.
Why are they going crazy, exactly? Because Justin Hartley and Jensen Ackles teaming up in an action-adventure series as brothers is just about the most perfect casting I've seen in a while.
And it goes far beyond the fact that they could actually pass for long-lost siblings.
Colter's journey throughout Tracker Season 1 has taken him across the United States, where he's helped countless people track down missing loved ones and even those who weren't necessarily looking to be found.
But while he's been racing around, saving the day and collecting his paychecks, he hasn't been able to outrun his past.

Amazon has leveraged the power of Nielsen ratings for “Thursday Night Football,” and Netflix could do likewise going forward.
After making its first major sports-adjacent deal in its history, there’s officially room to speculate on what sports Netflix could pursue next. Netflix signed a 10-year, $5 billion deal to stream “WWE Raw” starting in 2025 in late January, and industry talking-heads are already wondering what other sports Netflix could go after. But with Netflix’s recent decision to no longer report its subscriber totals to the public, will it still be able to convince sports leagues it wants to partner with that it’s a good potential broadcaster for their games?
Netflix has nearly 270 million customers but will stop reporting its totals publicly in Q1 2025. Company co-ceo Ted Sarandos said Netflix isn’t anti-sports, but pro-growth. Prime Video uses Nielsen ratings to quantify its sports successes, and Netflix could do likewise in the future.

Of course, making a compelling action show is a tricky business, but there are a small number of projects that have managed to achieve the perfect mix of interesting storylines and thrilling action scenes, and critics have not hesitated to praise them.
Here are 15 action shows with near-perfect Tomatometer scores on Prime:
Of course, not all of the shows on this list were produced by Prime Video, as some of them are simply acquisitions from other networks, but their presence on the platform still makes its action show library feel even stronger.
That said, new original shows like "The Boys" and "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" have certainly elevated Prime Video's stature and made its library feel full of Tomatometer-approved action shows, proving that some producers still care about the artistic sides of shows, not just the commercial ones.

In this strange and innocent time, NBC dropped a (then) totally unique pilot into its mix of programming. It was a superhero show – but one without any recognizable names, like Superman or Batman. It was an ensemble show, but it was also high-budget.

Amid Gods and Monsters comes The Authority, a surprising pick for James Gunn‘s new version of the Dcu. The Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker confirmed that the anti-hero team would get its own film. The Authority is basically The Justice League or more accurately, The Seven from The Boys. A group of cynical “heroes” who aren’t afraid to push boundaries just to save the universe. An anti-Justice League is a great idea! Given the fact that James Gunn managed to masterfully make three Guardians of the Galaxy films then the new DC head could pull off the upcoming Authority feature.

Rebel Moon is an IP that Netflix seems to be leaning into, thanks to Zack Snyder’s promise to turn the franchise into something on par with Star Wars. Originally starting out life as an R-rated Star Wars story that had to be buried come Disney’s acquisition of the property.

However, despite finding a new life at Netflix, Rebel Moon seems to be struggling with critics, something that might impact its viewership on the streaming platform. The idea was to create an IP that could rival those from other studios, but it now seems like Snyder does not want to stand with the versions of the films released to the audiences.

We typically think of any actor who has appeared in movies and television as having it made, but that’s not the case for most working actors. In fact, before Giancarlo Esposito landed the role of Gus Fring on Breaking Bad, he was so broke that he was considering arranging his own murder for the life insurance money.
While speaking on Sirius Xm’s Jim & Sam show, Giancarlo Esposito revealed that the year before Breaking Bad, he was in dire financial straits and desperately looking for a way out. “My way out in my brain was…’Hey, do you get life insurance if someone commits suicide? Do they get the bread?’” Esposito said. “My wife had no idea why I was asking this stuff. I started scheming. If I got somebody to knock me off, death by misadventure, [my kids] would get the insurance. I had four kids. I wanted them to have a life.

Giancarlo Esposito appeared on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s “Jim & Sam” show while promoting his new AMC drama series “Parish” and revealed that he was so broke prior to landing his iconic role of Gus Fring on “Breaking Bad” that he once considered arranging his own murder so that his children could have some financial protection courtesy of his life insurance money. The actor considered this around 2008, a year before “Breaking Bad” inextricably changed his career and opened the door for roles in “The Mandalorian,” “The Boys” and more.
Asked how he got out of near bankruptcy around 2008, Esposito said, “My way out in my brain was: ‘Hey, do you get life insurance if someone commits suicide? Do they get the bread?’ My wife had no idea why I was asking this stuff. I started scheming. If I got somebody to knock me off, death by misadventure, [my kids] would get the insurance.

“Loki” could conjure up a Best Drama Series nomination this year and give Disney and Marvel representation at this year’s Emmys. The second season of “Loki” continues the journey of Tom Hiddleston‘s titular former villain as he attempts to save the multiverse. Loki traverses the multiverse with the help of Owen Wilson‘s Mobius, Ke Huy Quan‘s Ouroboros, Sophia Di Martino‘s Sylvie, and Wunmi Mosaku‘s Hunter B-15. They are hoping to repair the damage caused to the multiverse during the events of the first season, with Kang (Jonathan Majors) again at the center of the trouble.
Season one was greeted with rapturous applause and this sophomore outing has been met with the same response.

The severity of James Gunn’s formative DC Universe is paramount, to say the least. The sense of purpose that has been guiding the DC Studios CEO since November 2022 has been solely focused on using Superman as the foundation for the new and improved universe. Understandably, James Gunn’s Dcu needs to find a fixture soon on which the entire universe’s model can be based, but Superman is the only IP that has to convince the audience of the rate of Dcu’s success.

This Article Contains Spoilers For X-Men ‘97
Almost immediately after its release, Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys became the talk of the town with its dark and satirical take on the superhero universe. The series does not shy away from using violence and gore to its benefit but watching such horrifying scenes unfold right in front of our eyes episode after episode has certainly made the audience a little indifferent to it all.
Prime Video’s The Boys
The series is still one hell of a watch, don’t get us wrong. However, it looks like it has some competition in town with X-Men ’97. Just five episodes in, the animated series has managed to excite, shock, and basically traumatize the audience. Supervising director Jake Castorena perfectly explained how they are able to do all this and more despite having a TV-14 rating.

Welcome to Emmy Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Emmy race — via Slack, of course. This week, we revisit the still unpredictable drama field.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! It’s Friday and we’ve circled back to the most chaotic genre of this Emmys cycle: drama. That’s fitting, I guess, because, you know, drama! But this remains a field that’s wide open spaces, with a placeholder frontrunner in “The Crown” and then a bunch of new shows vying for attention and older series looking to get on the academy’s series radar for the first time. I don’t know what to make of this, except to wait patiently for one or more of those favored limited series to make the jump here. But until that happens, we must prognosticate with the hand we were dealt.

Two things are certain. The My Hero Academia manga and anime successfully adapted the superhero formula from Western comics and created a truly brilliant Japanese superhero work. In the West, The Boys comic book and series successfully inverted the superhero genre and created a brilliant series that showed us the dark side of superheroism. Now, it seems that we have also gotten an anime answer to The Boys, as the Go! Go! Loser Ranger! anime is slowly becoming a hit of the Spring 2024 anime season.
The series premiered on April 7, 2024, and can be seen on Disney+ and Hulu in the West. Go! Go! Loser Ranger! is not as violent as The Boys, but it brings us an interesting story and we think that it is definitely worth your time.

In a letter to shareholders, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy offered a refreshing dose of clarity regarding the status of Prime Video.
Just how big is Prime Video’s customer base? For years, the only way to answer this question was via speculation, as Amazon has steadfastly refused to make data like subscriber totals or the profitability of its streaming segment public for years. But in a recent letter to Amazon shareholders, company CEO Andy Jassy revealed that Prime Video had 200 million customers, an impressive number but one that comes with an important caveat.
Prime Video’s 200 million subscribers put it behind only Netflix in terms of total customers. Every Amazon Prime subscriber gets access to Prime Video as part of their account. Jassy also suggested that Prime Video isn’t profitable on its own yet. 30-Day Free Trial $8.99+ / month amazon.com

Lucy (Ella Purnell) has only been outside the relative safety of her vault for a few hours before the young, wide-eyed school teacher — who specializes in American History “with a focus on ethics!” — is attacked by a cockroach the size of an adult corgi. Technically, she’s spared the hand-to-leg combat thanks to an actual dog (a German Shepherd), who jumps out of the shadows, chomps down on the mutant insect, and makes a meal of the squealing, writhing creature. But the interaction is nonetheless indication of her predicament. Lucy, who’s lived her entire life in an underground society dictated by laws, common goals, and good manners, isn’t prepared to be out in this anarchic desert wasteland. Her bright blue jumpsuit may shield her from the radiation, but it won’t protect her from the parasites ready to pounce as soon as she lets down her guard.

The Fallout TV show is supposed to release on 11th April 2024 but it is already making waves in the video game and TV series industry. Jonathan Nolan, who directed the first three episodes of the show, opened up about a number of things regarding the filming of the show in recent interviews.
However, one particular TV show comparison might feel pretty out of the blue for fans. It is not The Last of Us. Although Pedro Pascal-starrer has etched its name in history for its amazing adaptation of the video game, it is not the show that Fallout is being compared to. The tone of the movie has been likened to that of The Boys, the Prime Video show based on supers.
Fallout and The Boys Have a Common Tone Fallout and The Boys share a similar tone.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Nolan talked about a range of topics.

Showtime’s “The Curse” is one of the most unique TV entries of the past year. The acclaimed drama series from Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie follows a newly married couple (Fielder and Oscar-winner Emma Stone) who host an HGTV show trying to conceive a child while navigating a curse.
The show’s tone and style, a satirical black comedy, makes for extraordinary viewing and while it is classified as a drama for awards purposes, it transcends genre classification in reality. Critics agree, this is one of the most unique and colorful TV shows out there.
Richard Roeper (Chicago Sun-Times) explained: “To its credit, ‘The Curse’ never takes its foot off the pedal, to the point where we’re absolutely sure Whitney and Asher are going to crash and burn — yet we’re still not prepared for the inspired lunacy of the fate that awaits them.”
