Streaming services are now trying to ration their upcoming original content due to the ongoing actors strike and the only recently-resolved writers’ strike, so we’re going to see a thinning-down of new releases across the board over the next six months at least. Hulu will be adding a lot of library TV shows and movies in November, but there are only a few new major original projects hitting the streamer this month.
Hulu’s spotlight streaming series in November is Black Cake, which is based on the bestselling book by Charmaine Wilkerson. Part family drama, part murder mystery, the show features a globetrotting story that will cover decades of events after a bereaved family find a flash drive that contains some shocking secrets about the hidden history of their late matriarch.
Also dropping on Hulu this month is the original film Quiz Lady, starring Sandra Oh, Awkwafina, Jason Schwartzman,...

Everyone has an opinion on Britney Spears, even if you think you don’t. Since the pop star’s infamous series of erratic decisions starting in 2007 — which led to her being placed in a conservatorship for the last 12 years — there have been numerous opinions stated about whether Spears is a prisoner or being protected. This week, FX’s “The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears” sought to lift the veil on what many people have heard about Spears and her confinement, but one word was noticeably absent throughout the hour-long broadcast: disabled.
Last year, as the #FreeBritney movement started up, disabled rights advocate and writer Sara Luterman brought up Spears’ conservatorship with regards to disability rights issues in The Nation. A conservatorship, as Luterman lays it out, is “generally imposed on people with a documented disability who are determined, by a judge, to be unable to care for themselves.

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to alter people’s holiday celebrations, many people are finding that watching holiday films is one tradition that can continue. While there has been no meaningful change in the percentage of speaking characters with disabilities in these top-grossing films in the past five years with just 2.3 percent of the 4,451 characters analyzed in the 100 top-grossing films of 2019 by the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism having a disability, several holiday films are bucking this trend. And for the one-in-four people in the U.S. who have a disability, that means there are more opportunities to see ourselves reflected on screen.

Don't you love a happily ever after?
A romance novelist finding love with the man between the pages is a surprisingly lovely setup, and it made Christmas Ever After charming.
Also, you know, the fact that Ali Stroker starred in this film didn't hurt.
Ali Stroker starring in a Christmas romance is one of the few positive things to make it on the 2020 Bingo card.
She and Daniel Di Tomasso, who looked like a hot Jesus, right down to the handyman shtick and was just breaking hearts and getting heartbroken on The Good Doctor Season 4 Episode 4, were cute together.
And Lifetime's record for breaking down some barriers this holiday season continues. Ali Stroker is making history as a first as a disabled actress starring in this film.

In the world of feature films, the term "movie magic" brings to mind Avatar's bright blue humanoids and Michael Bay's explosive action flicks. But in the realm of holiday films, movie magic is achieved by an actual expertise in optical illusions and sleight of hand—no CGI or stunt doubles required. As a producer and the Executive of Development for MarVista Entertainment, Julianna Hays knows what it takes to create a movie worthy of Lifetime's massive catalogue of holiday films. In 2020 alone, Lifetime has 30 new seasonal movies on its slate, one of which Julianna executive produced: Christmas Ever After. The project posed a challenge especially unique to 2020....

The Lifetime channel gets labeled many things, but revolutionary isn’t one of them. And yet, while watching their latest Christmas romance, “Christmas Ever After,” I kept using that word. The story is simple: Romance writer Izzi Simmons travels to a small-town family lodge for Christmas where she meets a man who looks just like the fictional figure on her book covers. If you think you know where the story goes you’d be absolutely right. The difference is that Izzi is played by Tony winner — and wheelchair user — Ali Stroker.
When the script for “Christmas Ever After” came her way, Stroker — who has been a vocal proponent of inclusive casting and casting disabled performers in any role — was immediately drawn to how the role didn’t require a disabled performer specifically. “I was so thrilled to see disability wasn’t necessarily a part of the story,” Stroker told IndieWire.
