[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Big Door Prize Season 2 Episode 4 “Storytellers.”] The Big Door Prize, with its latest episode, not only offers more information about the blue dots that have appeared on some people’s backs—Hana (Ally Maki), though she’s never used the Morpho machine, has had them for a long time—but also shows how someone loses them. “Storytellers” flashes back to when Mr. Johnson (Patrick Kerr) was younger and met the repairman who would come by the shop to fix a broken machine … and the two had plans for dinner, only the other man didn’t show up. Through the Morpho machine, he confronts his problem—a pixelated version of the man offers up excuses for why he didn’t come—and acknowledges he’s been blaming himself. And then to his surprise, his dots disappear. But should we think that’s true for everyone, or could it depend on each person?...

There was a time not so long ago when limited series were just that: limited. In a post-“Big Little Lies” existence, however, series are limited only until a network executive decides they’re not. For now, FX’s critically acclaimed “Shōgun,” a striking 10-episode historical epic about warring factions in Japan, remains a limited series, having this week reached the end of its source material, James Clavell’s 1975 novel of the same name. The series finale, “A Dream of a Dream,” is now streaming on Hulu, and after picking up in the aftermath of Mariko’s (Anna Sawai) death, manages to complete its narrative arc in emotionally satisfying fashion.
Since its debut in late February, the endlessly compelling (and surprisingly funny) series has captivated viewers, reminding us of the thrills of event TV. Each episode was bigger than the one that came before it, right up until the end.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Big Door Prize Season 2 Episodes 1 “The Next Stage,” 2 “Visions,” and 3 “Power & Energy.”] Apple TV+‘s heartwarming and entertaining dramedy The Big Door Prize returns for its second season in a major way: The three episodes that drop on premiere day feature a proposal, a (temporary?) split, the next stage of the Morpho machine, and a hug that will have people talking. Hana (Ally Maki), who had worked at a bar with a Morpho machine previously, reveals she started getting the blue dots that some have and doesn’t know what causes them. It’s not much, but it’s still more than Hana has opened up thus far, and Episode 3 even shows her bonding a bit with Cass (Gabrielle Dennis). But what also makes Hana stand apart from the others is that she never used the Morpho machine. Is that something she regrets? “I think Hana’s just a...

The current category champ, “The Bear,” is looking to become the 10th series to win this award for both of its first two seasons. It would join “The Phil Silvers Show,” “All in the Family,” “Taxi,” “Cheers,” “The Golden Girls,” “Frasier,” “30 Rock,” “Modern Family,” and “Ted Lasso” on this honor roll.
Of the seven other 2023 Best Comedy Series nominees, only “Abbott Elementary” and “Only Murders in the Building” are eligible to contend again. “Barry” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” officially concluded in spring 2023, while the futures of both “Jury Duty” and “Ted Lasso” remain uncertain. That leaves “Wednesday,” the confirmed second season of which will not air in time to qualify for consideration.

Actress Ally Maki has demonstrated her comedy chops on TV’s Hacks, 10 Things I Hate About You, Wrecked, and as the voice of “Giggle McDimples” in the Pixar film Toy Story 4. But lately, her work has taken a dramatic turn – in the serio-comic Apple TV+ show The Big Door Prize, and especially in her new film, Seagrass.
The feature, now playing in theaters in the U.S. and Canada, stars Maki as Judith, a Japanese Canadian woman whose sense of certainty about her life begins to crumble after the death of her mother. A fraying connection to her husband Steve (Luke Roberts), a handsome but emotionally constricted white guy, prompts the couple to head to a resort in British Columbia with their two young daughters – Stephanie (Nyha Breitkreuz) and Emmy (Remy Marthaller).

Following a years-long development process, Apple will officially make a TV series based on William Gibson’s acclaimed sci-fi novel Neuromancer.
The tech giant and streamer has handed out a 10-episode series order to the drama based on the 1984 cyberpunk novel that launched Gibson’s career and the so-called Sprawl trilogy that also includes novels Count Zero (1986) and Mona Lisa Overdrive (1988).
Dark Winds creator Graham Roland and J.D. Dillard (The Twilight Zone) created the series for television. The series, a co-production between Skydance Television and Anonymous Content, will see Roland serve as showrunner with Dillard on board to direct the pilot.
Apple says Neuromancer revolves around a “damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high stakes crime with his partner Molly, a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes, aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets.”

Declan Lowney directed the last two episodes of “Ted Lasso’s” third and final (for now) season, but that wasn’t the original plan. Lowney, who won an Emmy in 2022 as a producer on the show, was slated to helm the opening block of Season 3 until various delays and scheduling conflicts with another project caused him to drop out for what he thought was for good.
“It was a bit of a happy accident,” Lowney tells Gold Derby during our Directors Guild of America Awards TV nominees panel (watch the exclusive video interview above). “Just before they were due to start prep on the first two episodes, the whole shoot got pushed a month. They weren’t quite ready. I had a clash with another job I already had, ‘The Big Door Prize,’ the other Apple show. So I had to pull out. I was contracted to the other show.

Some people say all good things must end, and that is the case for Apple and Skydance Animation, who say they’re parting ways. While this is disappointing news, a silver lining remains. Apple is continuing its partnership with Skydance Media, with plans to work together on live-action film and television projects. The parting comes after the union’s multi-year deal ends. As a parting gift (of sorts), Skydance Animation keeps Spellbound, Vicky Jenson’s animated fantasy epic starring Rachel Zegler, Nicole Kidman, John Lithgow, Nathan Lane, Jenifer Lewis, and Javier Bardem, to name a few.
Skydance Animation is likely to find a new home quickly, perhaps with a studio more interested in producing animated projects instead of epics like Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Thankfully, Skydance Media remains in a good place with Apple as new and existing projects like Foundation, The Big Door Prize, and...

Exclusive: While it will continue to have a deal with Skydance Media for tent pole live action film and TV fare, Apple is parting ways with Skydance Animation, the company run by former Pixar chief John Lassiter. Their multi-year deal has come to a conclusion, and Apple is making other kinds of films, notably this weekend’s opener Killers of the Flower Moon, which opens globally Friday.

David West Read, the showrunner of the new Apple TV+ series Big Door Prize, discussed the challenges of the production and the cast in his new uInterview.

Walsh called The Big Door Prize, which has this great premise of like, what if there was a machine that could tell you your life’s potential?” he told uInterview at SXSW. “Just seemed like such a fun jumping-off place for a series where you can get into all these different characters who have totally different experiences with the machine, and it really makes everyone reevaluate their lives. It’s like a whole town going through a midlife crisis.”

Ah, the best shows of the year. It feels like we were just talking about this, no? So be it. While peak TV may finally be ending, any such evidence has yet to be felt in a busy 2023. Remember… January? When the year began, “The Last of Us” was just a video game, “Poker Face” was little more than an expression, and “Shrinking,” at least when it came to TV, was an old topic on “Seinfeld.” Now, all that’s changed — not always for the better.
There have been challenges. Off-screen, the studios’ refusal to pay striking writers puts the future of TV in jeopardy, especially if those same well-compensated executives push actors to a similar breaking point. Events have been canceled, interviews with TV creators are hard to come by, and there’s no end in sight. When it comes to what’s on screen, let no one mention...

When looking back on the shoot, Fourlas said, “I have so many [memories]. I really like this one night where we were doing night shoots, [co-star] Djouliet Amara, and I and it was so cold outside, it was freezing and at first we were kind of like almost pissed, tired, and pissed and cold and then as it went on, that kind of feeling kicked in of like experience the moment, enjoy the moment and yeah, I always reflect on that one man because it plays the whole life potential thing and just really relishing everything you have.

It’s hard to imagine anyone other than Pedro Pascal playing Joel Miller in HBO’s live-action adaptation of The Last of Us, but one of the early names up for the role was Matthew McConaughey.
While speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, The Last of Us co-showrunner Craig Mazin confirmed that he did have talks with Matthew McConaughey about starring in the series. “I did talk to Matthew. I can’t say that it was a series [of conversations]. It was more of a, ‘Hey, here’s something to talk about,’” Mazin said. “Pedro was on our list from the start. We were told he was unavailable, and then as we were floundering about a little bit, I got a call from his agent who said, ‘You know, he actually might be available.’“
Although I’m sure Matthew McConaughey would have done a great job with Joel Miller, I think...

As the first season showed us by the end, there’s a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to Giorgio (Josh Segarra) on The Big Door Prize. The Apple TV+ drama follows those in a small town after the Morpho machine mysteriously appears, promising to reveal everyone’s true potential. Season 1 ended with a message on the machine asking if they were “ready for the next stage.” What is that exactly? Here, Segarra ponders that, looks back at Giorgio’s journey so far, and shares his hopes for Season 2. What stands out to you about Giorgio’s journey over the first season? Josh Segarra: I’m very fortunate in these characters that I get to play. Giorgio, to me, he’s a former New York Ranger. I’m a Rangers fan. He’s a former athlete; I’ve always wanted to play an athlete on screen. And...

When TV academy voters sit down to fill out their 2023 Emmy nominations ballots, they have to consider 95 shows for Best Comedy Series; this is down by 23 contenders from last year. After six years of there being no restrictions on the amount of entrants they could vote for, each member’s selections can now not exceed the number of eventual nominations in a given category, which, in this case, will be eight.
Reigning Best Comedy Series winner “Ted Lasso” is seeking a third consecutive victory, but five of its seven 2022 rivals can put a stop to its streak. Those previously nominated shows that also aired during the eligibility period of June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023 are “Abbott Elementary,” “Barry,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” and 2018 champ “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” The two contenders from last year missing from this ballot because they did not return in time...

[Editor’s note: The following interview contains spoilers for “The Other Two,” Episode 8.]
Josh Segarra has been that guy for too long. Now, it’s time to get to know the actor who truly is everywhere.
So far this year, the breakout star of “The Other Two” has appeared in “Scream VI” playing “hot neighbor guy” love interest turned key survivor, entered the MCU with Disney+ series “She-Hulk,” as well as led TV series “The Big Door Prize.” To track Segarra’s screen roots back further, he can even be spotted in Amy Schumer’s “Trainwreck” as the (very memorable) Staten Island hook-up.
Segarra isn’t just that guy anymore: He’s almost synonmous with his iconic lovable “The Other Two” character Lance Arroyo, whose relationship with longtime girlfriend Brooke Dubek (Heléne Yorke) provides some of the best laughs in the critically acclaimed series.
Below, Segarra tells IndieWire how he landed the Sexiest Man Alive title in “The Other Two...

Josh Segarra has been consistently working in film and television and earning a living as an actor for well over a decade. And while he insists he’s “just trying to stay busy,” his career received a shot of adrenalin over the past year that found him cast as a regular on three series: the comedy “The Other Two” on Max, the first-year Marvel Universe superhero drama “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” on Disney+ and the freshman comedy “The Big Door Prize” on Apple TV+. That’s in addition to his having a role in this past spring’s “Scream VI” horror flick. Does Segarra feel like he’s broken through to a new level? “It’s very nice and very flattering to hear that,” he says, “but honestly I’m not thinking about that. I’m just having a ball playing in the world I’m playing in right now,...
