Fans of ‘Yellowstone’ will officially be saying their goodbyes to the show with the second part of season 5. While there were reports a season 6 was being discussed, the talks seem to have been dropped in favor of the modern-day spinoff ‘The Madison.’

Before ‘The Madison,’ reports had stated that series creator Taylor Sheridan was working on a new script, which will be led by Matthew McConaughey. Sadly, this seems not to be the case anymore and I’m yet to fully come to terms with that.

Happily, we’ve been promised a lot of great things when it comes to ‘The Madison,’ so much so we can’t help but wait patiently for it to drop.

Bilal Hasna is transforming into Layla, the title drag queen in Amrou Al-Kadhi’s feature directorial debut.

“3 Body Problem” star Hasna leads “Layla,” which centers on an eponymous British-Palestinian drag queen in London who falls in love with an advertising executive (Louis Greatorex), all while navigating their identity around family and friends. Think a modern-day, queer take on “Romeo & Juliet.”

The British indie film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and later opened the BFI Flare: London Lgbtiq+ Film Festival. “Layla” also screened at the London Film Festival and Newfest.

Director Al-Kadhi previously worked as a drag performer before becoming a filmmaker. Al-Kadhi acted in Steven Spielberg’s “Munich,” “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” “The Souvenir: Part II,” and “American Horror Stories.” They helmed shorts “Anemone,” “Run(a)Way Arab,” “Clash,” and “Define Gender: Victoria Sin” before making their feature debut with “Layla.”

Schnetzer will appear in Taylor Sheridan’s new series alongside previously announced cast members Michelle Pfeiffer, Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, Matthew Fox, Beau Garrett and Amiah Miller. Schnetzer will play Van, described as “a salt-of-the-earth and neighborly Montana rancher.”

“The Madison” was previously in development under the title “2024.” Per the official logline, the show is a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.” It is not yet clear if the show will debut exclusively on Paramount+ or start off on Paramount Network like “Yellowstone.”

Schnetzer was recently cast alongside Lily James in the upcoming biopic about the founder of Bumble. He has also wrapped production on the feature “The Yellow Tie,” a biopic about renowned Romanian conductor Sergiu Celibidache.

Executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are turning their attention to a different type of political power play.

The Game of Thrones duo is joining forces with creator Mike Makowsky (Bad Education), director Matt Ross, and executive producer Bernie Caulfield to adapt Candice Millard’s 2011 novel, Destiny of the Republic, into a new series for Netflix.

“It’s been the thrill of a lifetime seeing this crack team come together to bring James Garfield and his cohort back from the annals of long-forgotten history,” Makowsky tells Tudum. “Six years into working on this project, it’s a story I still can’t believe is true — in all its wild, tragic glory — and it somehow feels even more relevant to our world today than ever before. I can’t wait for us to be able to finally share...

Another Netflix original from “Game of Thrones” creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss is planned to debut in 2025. The political drama “Death by Lightning” has wrapped production in Budapest, Hungary and added eight new cast members, Netflix announced on Friday.

Surprise! Just in time for spooky season, American Horror Stories is returning to Hulu (and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers) with five new episodes, all dropping on Tuesday, Oct. 15, TVLine has learned. Even better, we’ve got ourselves a trailer.

As revealed in the trailer, the five new installments are titled “Backrooms,” inspired by online lore about liminal spaces and the nightmarish creatures dwelling within them; “The Thing Under the Bed,” in which a young girl has every right to fear the dark; “Clone,” which explores the dangers of human cloning; “Leprechaun,” which is fairly self-explanatory; and “X,” which...

The first trailer for “American Horror Stories” Season 4 is here, and it’s teasing all sorts of creepy crawlies. The five-night Huluween event begins on Oct. 15 and will only air on Hulu.

This first look teases the episode titles for the new season, including “Backrooms,” “The Thing Under the Bed,” “Clone,” “Leprechaun” and “X.”

“When she dreams things happen,” Jeff Hiller ominously says in the video. “What kind of things?” Debby Ryan nervously asks.

The camera then shows a clawed hand snaking out from under the bed while she and her boyfriend are kissing. True to the laws of every good horror movie, he’s sucked underneath the bed the second he goes to look. Watch the full trailer below.

In addition to Hiller and Ryan, Season 4 stars Michael Imperioli (“The White Lotus”), Henry Winkler, Victor Garber (“Titanic”), June Squibb (“Thelma”), Dyllón Burnside (“Pose”), Angel Bismark (“Pose”), Guy Burnet (“3 Body Problem...

Meryl Streep is lending her voice to the climate change crisis — literally.

The Oscar-winning icon narrates “Want to Tell a Great Story,” a new PSA that debuted today from the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance made in partnership with the Nrdc’s Rewrite the Future.

“Hey, want to see a story about climate change?” Streep asks in the opening seconds before a series of clips from Get Out, The Lego Movie and Anchorman show characters saying “no” in quick succession. “We get it, we really do. Climate change is scary. It can make us feel, well, a little anxious. And we turn to movies and TV to escape. But what if we changed the question?”

Streep does just that and alters the query: “Want to see a great story? Stories can engage with the climate even as they entertain. Whether they are dramatic or funny or stories of courage, stories about protecting what you love,...

The theme song for Netflix’s data dump for the first half of 2024 might as well be “Rule, Britannia.”

Four U.K.-produced series are at the top of the streamer’s internal rankings for January to June, led by Fool Me Once with 107.5 million views worldwide over the course of those six months. Season three of Bridgerton (91.9 million views), Baby Reindeer (87.6 million) and The Gentlemen (75.9 million) round out the top four.

All told, Netflix’s 280 million subscribers watched 94 billion hours’ worth of programming on the service in the first half of the year, up from about 90 billion hours for the second half of 2023. Netflix’s first engagement report, covering the first half of 2023, covered about 100 billion hours of viewing.

As with the last report, the list of top series spotlights Netflix’s global reach. In addition to the four British series at the top of the list the top...

Netflix saw a British invasion in the first six months of the year — with four of its 10 biggest shows globally in the first half of 2024 coming from the U.K.: “Fool Me Once,” the Emmy-winning “Baby Reindeer,” “The Gentlemen” and “One Day.”

In addition, Shonda Rhimes’ U.K.-set “Bridgerton” Season 3 was the No. 2 most-watched show worldwide from January-June 2024. The season notched a whopping 91.9 million views in less than two months following its May 14 premiere. All told, shows in the “Bridgerton” universe garnered 189 million views in the first half of 2024; views in the six-month period for “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” hit 24 million (doubling versus the second half of last year) while views of of “Bridgerton” seasons 1 and 2 jumped fivefold compared with the prior six months.

The company calculates views by dividing total hours viewed divided by runtime. (See the lists of the top 10 shows and films on Netflix below.

“Damsel” and “Fool Me Once” are taking the titles of the most-watched movie and show on Netflix in the first half of 2024.

Specifically, the Millie Bobby Brown movie was viewed 143.8 million times for a total of 263.7 million hours. As for “Fool Me Once,” it was viewed 107.5 million times for a total of 689.5 million hours.

Netflix dropped its first engagement report of the year on Friday, revealing that people watched over 94 billion hours on Netflix during this six-month time period.

On the movies side, the Kevin Hart and Billy Magnussen heist comedy “Lift” was more widely viewed than “Fool Me Once,” securing 129.4 million views.

Netflix’s latest data dump is here and, as trailed by Ted Sarandos earlier this week, the Brits have dominated the TV series listings.

Harlan Coben adaptation Fool Me Once led the pack in the first half of 2024 with more than 100 million views globally, just ahead of the third season of Bridgerton on 91.9 million. Bridgerton had an epic six months, with its first and second season also making the top 20 with 38.4 million and 34.2 million views globally. Shonda Rhimes’ show is commissioned out of the U.S. but made in the UK with British acting talent.

After Bridgerton Season 3 came Baby Reindeer – the controversial smash series that is currently subject to a lawsuit – watched by 87.6 million, with The Gentlemen next with 75.9 million.

The most-watched U.S. series was Avatar: The Last Airbender in fifth with 71.1 million, followed by Griselda. In seventh place was also a British series, American Nightmare, the highest-rated...

Lack of transparency with viewership numbers is an ongoing complaint in the streaming space, but Netflix's co-ceo Ted Sarandos doesn't "think we could be any more transparent than" its biannual data dump, which reports number of views and hours watched per season on the platform.

If you’re not already watching Shōgun on FX (or FX on Hulu), what are you even doing? The 2024 Emmy Awards aired last night on Sunday, Sept. 15, and the historical drama won big!

Shōgun created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by James Clavell. The series stars Hiroyuki Sanada, Cosmo Jarvis, Anna Sawai, Tadanobu, Takehiro Hira, and others. One thing to love about Shōgun is its authenticity as it features a mostly Japanese cast and Japanese language dialogue.

The story follows the journeys of two men: John Blackthorne, an English sailor who is known as a risk-taker, and Lord Toranaga, a member of the five Council of Five Elders ruling Japan.

The series first premiered on FX on Hulu and FX, and was set to be a miniseries, which means no second season was in the plans. However, due to its popularity,...

American Horror Stories, a streaming series spin-off from FX’s long-running horror anthology series American Horror Story, began with a seven episode first season in 2021, continued with an eight episode second season in 2022, and gave us a four episode third season in 2023. TV Line has now revealed that American Horror Stories season 4 is set to premiere on Hulu (and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers) on Tuesday, October 15th. The new season consists of five episodes, and all five will be available to watch on that date. TV Line also unveiled a partial cast list: Henry Winkler (Happy Days), Debby Ryan (Jessie), Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos), Dyllón Burnside (Pose), Jeff Hiller (American Horror Story: NYC), Jessica Barden (American Horror Stories), Angel Bismark Curiel (Pose), Guy Burnet (3 Body Problem), Victor Garber (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow), and June Squibb (Glee).

Shogun capped its big night at the 2024 Emmys with a pivotal win.

The FX/Hulu series won for best drama series, notching its fourth award of the night. Shogun, which landed 25 Emmy nominations for its first season, prevailed in the category over fellow nominees The Crown, Fallout, The Gilded Age, The Morning Show, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Slow Horses and 3 Body Problem.

In his acceptance speech, co-creator Justin Marks thanked the executives who helped make the show happen. “You guys greenlit a very expensive, subtitled, Japanese period piece whose central climax revolves around a poetry competition,” Marks quipped. “I have no idea why you did that, but thank you for your faith in this incredible team.”

He continued, “Shogun is a show about translation — not what is lost, but what is found when you do safety meetings in two languages, and you learn not to walk on tatami mats with your utility boots.

FX’s Shogun and The Bear dominated the 76th Emmys in Los Angeles on Sunday night as they finished with 18 and 11 wins apiece, including last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards, despite an upset in the comedy series category where HBO/Max’s Hacks was the surprise winner.

Shogun was named best dramatic series and took home both lead acting wins for Hiroyuku Sanada and Anna Sawai, who became the first actress of Asian descent to win the category. The show itself became the first mostly not in the English language to win the series award.

Although comedy series favourite...

Only eight months after the last Emmy ceremony (which was delayed due to the strikes), the Primetime Emmy Awards are back, although there were some big surprises in store. Everyone (myself included) expected The Bear to own every category it was nominated in. While it did well, winning many big categories including Best Actor in a Comedy Series, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress, it lost Best Comedy Series (and actress) to Hacks.

Netflix’s controversial limited series Baby Reindeer also cleaned up, nabbing awards for star and creator Richard Gadd plus co-star Jessica Gunning. But, FX was the evening’s big winner, with their epic series, Shogun, dominating the drama categories, with the great Hiroyuki Sanada winning the prize for Best Actor, and Anna Sawai taking Best Actress, alongside the show’s Best Drama win. It’s amazing to see how Shogun’s become an absolute phenomenon, with the show...

As Dan Levy said, the 76th Annual Emmy Awards were “Broadcast TV’s biggest night for honoring movie stars on streaming services.”

If you don’t have streaming and if you didn’t watch one of the 33 shows nominated out of the 516 scripted programs available in the US, you probably didn’t think much of the show.

But we’re still here rounding up the winners, so you didn’t have to watch. You’re welcome! Maybe the award winners will inspire you to watch a show you never have before.

For the second time this year, Hollywood gathered to honor TV’s biggest stars.

After the 2023 ceremony was delayed to January 2024 by last year’s Hollywood strikes, it’s only been eight months since TV’s biggest stars gathered at Los Angeles’ LA Live Peacock Theatre to announce the Emmy winners. Like months ago, “The Bear” stars Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach once again won lead actor and supporting actor in a comedy, and co-star Colón-Zayas also won her first Emmy in the supporting actress race. “Hacks” star Jean Smart won lead actress in a comedy, and in the biggest surprise of the night, HBO’s “Hacks” won outstanding comedy over “The Bear,” which many believed to be the frontrunner.

“The Bear” broke its own record of 10 comedy wins for a single season, which it achieved last year, with its 11 trophies on Sunday, including directing for Christopher Storer. FX...

Is “Shōgun” adding more Emmy hardware to its historic haul? Will “The Bear” break its own record? Those are the big questions heading into the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, which will be broadcast live coast-to-coast from Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. Est/5 p.m Pst on ABC.

Hosted by father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, the main ceremony caps off a television year dominated by “Shōgun,” which already set a record for most Emmys by a drama series in a single year when it nearly swept the Creative Arts Emmys with 14. The FX drama, led by Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada, will attempt to beef up its overall take when it competes with eight nominations in six top categories: drama series, lead actor, lead actress, supporting actor, writing and directing. TheWrap’s awards guru Steve Pond boldly predicts “Shōgun” will go six for six on Sunday.

The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards aired September 15 on ABC with actors Dan Levy and Eugene Levy serving as hosts for the first time. The ceremony celebrated the most revered TV shows of the 2023-2024 season as trophies were doled out in 25 categories covering comedy, drama, limited, variety, and competition series. Check out the 2024 Emmy winners full list below. Winners are highlighted in gold.

As usual, this year’s primetime ceremony occurred one week after the corresponding Creative Arts Emmys – a two-night event primarily focused on artistic and technical accomplishments. Freshman FX drama “Shogun” came out on top there with 14 wins, passing “Game of Thrones” (which won 12 on three occasions) as the new record-holder for most single-season victories (drama series). “Shogun” also flew past the overall record of 13 wins from HBO’s 2008 limited series “John Adams.” How many more can it add to its finally tally tonight? The comedy that...

TV’s biggest night is back for a second time this year, with the 76th Annual Emmy Awards back to their regularly-scheduled September ceremony. The impact of 2023’s Hollywood strikes is still rippling through the industry — including through the 75th Emmys, which took place earlier this year, in January — but the 2023-2024 Emmy nominees delivered another excellent year of television.

Despite the back-to-back ceremonies, the Emmys eligibility period holds strong; this ceremony will honor TV shows that premiered between June 2023 and May 2024. That includes pre-strike premieres like “The Bear” Season 2 and spring 2024 hits like “Hacks” Season 3. This was the first year without a lot of usual suspects in the Emmy race, such as “Succession,” “Ted Lasso,” “Barry,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” other favorites like “The Gilded Age,” “The Bear,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “The Crown” are still in the running.

You would think Frodo failed and the One Ring had fallen back into Sauron's hands based on the response to the latest ratings for The Ring of Power season 2 premiere from SambaTV.

According to Samba TV, The Rings of Power season 2 premiere, released on Aug. 29, was only watched by 902K households in its first few days on Prime Video, down from 1.8 million for the season 1 premiere.

Look, I know that sounds bad. Half of the people who watched the series premiere didn't immediately watch the season 2 premiere. Prime Video would obviously hope that more people tuned in for The Rings of Power season 2 premiere. According to Deadline, Amazon did not share any official numbers for The Rings of Power, but the first season was the biggest premiere for a new Amazon series.

The new season of Rings of Power is out with 902k US households tuning in over the...

Over in the broadcast television world, it's cancellation jitters season as the networks start to announce all of the renewals and cancellations ahead of the reveal of their fall schedules. However, over here in Netflix Land, it's always cancellation jitters season.

Netflix has already handed out a number of renewals and cancellations in 2024, including axing Obliterated after one season and renewing Heartbreak High for a third and final season. But a handful of fan-favorite Netflix shows released this spring are still awaiting word on their fates. There's cause for concern for all of them (except one), though more than one should receive good news.

Here are three Netflix shows currently in the running for a renewal and an additional two that should be renewed but are looking more like cases for cancellation.
