In April, on the morning before the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, Deadline gathered the stars of Netflix’s The Diplomat, Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell, and the show’s executive producer and showrunner Deborah Cahn, for a conversation with Irish Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason at her residence.

During that conversation, Nason said that she sees “a lot” of similarities between her life and the show, but quipped, “Some things I haven’t seen are the skinny dipping or the midnight feasts. In the basement of stately homes, I don’t do much of that.”

Russell and Sewell also spoke about the process of making the first season, with the latter explaining that their chemistry as two married, thrill-seeking foreign ambassadors was “there from day one, and if it’s there, leave it alone.”

For her role as Foreign Ambassador Kate Wyler, Russell said that she does research on stories based loosely on real-life events,...

Head of Mediapro Studio in the U.S. and Canada J.C. Acosta spoke with 24 producer Evan Katz, head of unscripted at Mediapro Pam Healey, CEO Laura Fernandez Espeso, TV producer Ran Tellem and Oscar-winning writer-director Juan-José Campanella.

Is “Shōgun” about to pull a “Succession” at the 2025 Golden Globes?

Currently at Gold Derby, the FX historical epic leads three top categories in our Golden Globe predictions: Best Drama Series, Best Drama Actor for Hiroyuki Sanada, and Best Drama Actress for Anna Sawai. If it also manages to pull off a fourth victory in a supporting race, it would match “Succession’s” total of four from last year.

For its final season, HBO’s family drama won the series prize at the Golden Globes and it also took home trophies for lead actors Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook, plus supporting player Matthew Macfadyen.

If “Shōgun” rides off with only the three top categories for series, lead actor, and lead actress, it would still be in good company indeed, as only a handful of dramas have done so. Besides “Succession” in 2023, “The Crown” most recently accomplished this feat in 2020. Before that,...

Meet the new Matlock. CBS has reimagined the classic Andy Griffith series, with Kathy Bates stepping into the title role. In the new version of the show, she plays Madeline “Matty” Matlock, a grieving mother and lawyer who returns to work at a white-shoe law firm with ties to the pharmaceutical companies that manufactured the drugs that killed her daughter.

Bates is clearly the star of the show, but she’s just one part of the new Matlock cast. She’s joined by Beau Bridges, Jason Ritter, and Skye P. Marshall. With the show’s second episode airing Oct. 17 on CBS, let’s review who’s who in the Matlock reboot.

Keri Russell, the star of “The Diplomat,” is on her fourth glass of wine; and Debora Cahn, the show’s creator, is on her third. There are cold french fries strewn across the table, empty glasses everywhere, and there’s ice — so much ice.

It’s only a few weeks before the second season of “The Diplomat” drops on Netflix on Halloween — five days before the presidential election — and Russell and Cahn, sitting in an old Upper West Side French bistro on a late afternoon, suddenly remember the time they met Kamala Harris at a White House Correspondents’ Dinner last April, four months before Harris became the Democratic presidential candidate.

Russell, 48, starts to squeal thinking about that night, her hands fluttering to her face in comic excitement, and Cahn says, “Somebody sent a photo of us and Biden and Jill, and I just love that we have it, but I was like,...

New Zealand-based sales company Black Mandala has picked up all international rights to “Lake Jesup: Bonecrusher’s Revenge,” a now-completed creature feature set in the most-alligator-infested lake in the U.S.

In 2003, Lake Jesup became the setting for real-life horror story when a huge alligator, known as Bonecrusher, escaped captivity at an animal theme park Gator Galaxy and started killing people in the lake. As the body count increased it became clear that stopping the monster would require a massive hunting effort.

The film revolves around the 13-day hunt and the persistent terror caused by a vicious, trained and angry predator. The expert hunter Bubba Coggins develops a strategy to neutralize the beast.

Netflix has released the trailer for Season 2 of the hit political thriller series “The Diplomat,” set to stream globally on the platform on Oct. 31.

The upcoming season picks up after the events of the Season 1 finale, which ended with a bang — literally — after a bomb is detonated in central London. Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), the U.S. ambassador to the U.K., attempts to figure out who is responsible for the bombing. Yet things take a turn when she discovers that the attack didn’t come from a rival nation, it came from inside the British government. Per the official synopsis, “As Kate chases the truth, her only real ally is her almost-ex-husband Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell), very much alive, and very much involved. She faces a fraught marriage, a complex dynamic with British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and a threatening visit from Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney).”

Claire Danes (Homeland) may have turned down the role of Pamela Voorhees in Peacock’s upcoming Friday the 13th streaming series Crystal Lake, but back in March she did sign on to star in the mystery thriller limited series The Beast in Me for Netflix.

TV producer Kalen Gorman died Tuesday after a battle with breast cancer at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, her publicist confirmed to Variety. She was 59.

Born in Toronto and raised in Los Angeles, Gorman’s career began assisting Pat Kingsley at Pmk Public Relations before she transitioned into television, taking on segment producer roles at E! Entertainment Television and Access Hollywood.

She was known for creating the behind-the-scenes content for Ryan Murphy’s hit series “Glee” while working at Fox Broadcasting. Her videos received millions of views on YouTube becoming fan-favorite interviews with the stars. An integral part of the “Glee” marketing campaign, Gorman’s warm, inviting energy helped the actors feel comfortable and safe to share candidly during these interviews. While at Fox she also collaborated in popular shows like “Bones,” “The Mindy Project” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” She also produced and directed more behind-the-scenes content for many other shows,...

NBC’s new medical procedural arrives with an unusual slant. Inspired by the life of late British neurologist and author Dr. Oliver Sacks, “Brilliant Minds” stars “Star Trek” and “American Horror Story’s” Zachary Quinto as a doctor determined to demystify neurological disorders. And he’s got first-hand experience: Quinto’s Dr. Oliver Wolf has prosopagnosia, also known as “face blindness” (just as Sacks did in real life.)

The hour-long series “follows a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier – the human mind – while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.”

Alongside Quinto, “Brilliant Minds” also stars Tamberla Perry Ashleigh Lathrop (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), Alex MacNicoll (“The Society”), Aury Krebs (“Leverage: Redemption”), Spence Moore II (“All American”), Teddy Sears (“The Flash”) and Donna Murphy (“Tangled”). “Homeland” and “Criminal Minds” star Mandy Patinkin is also on board in a recurring role.

Kalen Gorman, who produced interviews and other behind-the-scenes content for Ryan Murphy’s Glee, entertainment that generated hundreds of millions of views on YouTube and other platforms, has died. She was 59.

Gorman died Tuesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after a battle with breast cancer, a publicist announced.

Gorman collaborated with actors, hosts, show creators, production crew and others on scripted and improvised marketing shoots that made for more than 300 pieces of content for every episode of Glee during its first five seasons (2009-14).

“I always thought, God, for the fans who love this show, this is what they want to see,” she said in an interview in April. “They want to feel like they’re part of it.”

Gorman later produced behind-the-scenes content for the 2017 first season of Murphy’s anthology series Feud, starring Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis and Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford, and for Showtime’s Homeland.

“All five of us met at an orgy,” Harper Steele deadpans while gesturing to the core team behind “Will & Harper,” the new Netflix documentary about a consequential road trip she took with Bff Will Ferrell after coming out as a trans woman. And Ferrell, his eyes sparking with punchlines to come, seizes the opportunity to build on the bit.

“We didn’t remember that we had met until much later,” he says. “We’re like, wait — Acapulco?” At that, Ferrell scrunches up his face like one of those suburban dads he’s so famous for playing on-screen and lowers his voice as if something embarrassing had slowly dawned on him.

They’re joking about the sex party, of course, but the group behind “Will & Harper” does boast a tangled network of connections that extend back through the decades, one that includes marriages, longtime friendships and artistic partnerships. It...

Prime Video has launched the first official trailer for Kate Beckinsale's next kickass actioner Canary Black, which will see the former Underworld star play a top CIA operative that is forced to go rogue to save her kidnapped husband while simultanously working to prevent the start of World War 3.

Cut off from her team, she turns to her underworld contacts to survive and help locate the coveted intelligence that the kidnappers want. Betrayed at every turn, she must rely on her cutting-edge training and primitive fighting skills in a deadly race to deliver a ransom that could trigger a global crisis."

This will mark the second action film Beckinsale has launched on Prime Video in recent years, following 2021's Jolt. Her series The Widow was also launched on the streamer,...

A film adaptation of the bestselling thriller novel The Woman in Cabin 10 is currently in the works at Netflix, and we've just learned some new information about this upcoming movie. Joining 2x Oscar nominee Keira Knightley (Black Doves) in the cast are many other talented actors, including Emmy winners Guy Pearce and Hannah Waddingham. Below, we shared everything there is to know about this movie so far.

The Woman in Cabin 10 is a thriller film based on the 2016 book of the same name by Ruth Ware. Simon Stone is signed on to helm the movie from a script he co-wrote with Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse (Snake Eyes). In addition, the film's producers are Sister and Debra Hayward, while the executive producers are Ilda Diffley and Richard Hewitt.

The story centers around a travel journalist who, while on a luxury cruise for a travel assignment, witnesses a passenger being thrown overboard one night.

David Cronenberg has said that his new film The Shrouds – which has been making the festival rounds lately (you can read what JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray thought of it Here) – was originally intended to be a Netflix TV series, but the streamer dropped it after paying him to write the pilot episode. So a feature film it is, and Deadline reports that Sideshow and Janus Films have acquired all U.S. distribution rights to the film, with their plan being to give it a theatrical release sometime in the spring of 2025.

In The Shrouds, Vincent Cassel, who previously worked with Cronenberg on Eastern Promises and A Dangerous Method, takes on the role of Karsh, “an innovative businessman and grieving widower, who builds a novel device to connect with the dead inside a burial shroud. This burial tool installed at his own state-of-the-art though controversial cemetery allows him and his...

Fall is here, which means it’s time to bundle up on your couch and stream the weekend away. Let’s get into it: There’s plenty to enjoy in October on Netflix, from a new Ali Wong special to new seasons of shows like “Love Is Blind” and “Unsolved Mysteries.” The real unsolved mystery is how it feels like there is more “Love Is Blind” dropping every month, but I digress.

October also brings with it the chance to watch Season 1 of “Yellowjackets” (a Showtime hit) for the first time on the Netflix platform, as well as more “Outer Banks” and “The Lincoln Lawyer.” The best bet, however, is the return of Keri Russell.

If you’re missing The Night Agent, welcome to the club! Let’s cheer ourselves up by watching one (or all) of these seven shows like The Night Agent.

Okay, don’t hold your breath, but The Night Agent season 2 may be here by the end of 2024! As we reported earlier this month, Netflix may have quietly confirmed the release window for when season 2 of the action series The Night Agent will arrive. And, if true, it’s soon! On the official Instagram account for the series, a follower asked, “Is Season 2 approaching really really fast or is it just approaching…?” Yes, fellow fan! You’re asking the real questions here!

To our surprise, the account responded and shared that November is “the anticipated release.” So you’re telling me new episodes will be here by Thanksgiving? What a gift! But not so fast. The response from the account no longer appears.

At this point in his career, “Black Mirror” creator Charlie Brooker has a perfect Emmys record, having succeeded on all three producing and two writing nominations he has received for the Netflix series. Soon, however, he could be blocked from going six-for-six by general first-timer Richard Gadd, who is predicted to trounce him in the 2024 race for Best TV Movie/Limited Series Writing.

Along with Ron Nyswaner (“Fellow Travelers”) and Issa López (“True Detective”), Gadd is one of three category newcomers involved in this writing contest. Aside from sole past winner Brooker, the remaining veterans are Noah Hawley (“Fargo”) and Steven Zaillian (“Ripley”), both of whom the “Black Mirror” writer defeated in 2017.

In order to determine whether Gadd truly has this race sewn up, let’s take a closer look at each nominee. Be sure to make your predictions in this and 24 other Primetime Emmy categories by September 15.

The success of ‘Prison Break’ follows the huge jump in popularity of ‘Suits’ after being licensed by Netflix.

The “Suits” phenomenon looks to be repeating itself for Netflix. The Hollywood Reporter cites data from Nielsen that shows that “Prison Break,” which originally aired starting in 2005, has become the newest licensed title to experience a huge growth in viewership after being licensed to the world’s largest streaming service. We’ll explore the phenomenon a little more fully, and take a guess at what shows might be next to strike it big on Netflix.

Key Details: “Prison Break” was streamed for 1.6 billion minutes between Aug. 5 and Aug. 11.

Chicago – I was doing Portrait photography on the last day of the Chicago Fan Expo, and even in these highly political partisan times – where one person’s hero is another’s villain – each of those five woman photographed and featured should be recognized for never being afraid to speak out and fight for their causes.

Homeland is one of the most successful shows in the history of Showtime. Created by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa, the spy-thriller series stars Clare Danes as Carrie Mathison, a CIA case officer with bipolar disorder. It aired for eight seasons before concluding in 2020. Despite the show’s popularity, it was canceled after eight seasons with a multitude of reasons responsible for the decisions.

Homeland starring Clare Danes aired for 8 seasons (Credit: Showtime).

During an interview, the show’s producers hinted that the project’s ballooning costs might have been just one of the many factors that decided its fate. Given the multiple outdoor locations featured in the series, including many international locations, it is easy to understand why the costs might have been a concern for the network. Here is how Homeland‘s increasing budget might have affected the show’s fate.

Editor’s note: This post contains big spoilers for the end of the first season of Netflix’s “The Diplomat.”

For fans of “The Diplomat,” one mystery is officially solved.

Netflix released the first teaser for the political thriller starring Emmy nominee Keri Russell as U.S. ambassador to London Kate Wyler. “The Diplomat” Season 2 teaser reveals the fate of her husband, Hal (Rufus Sewell): He’s apparently alive following a massive car bombing in the final seconds of Season 1.

The wordless Season 2 teaser trailer shows Kate and Hal arm in arm at some kind of fancy event, clearly them against the world now that Kate knows that the shocking terror attack came from inside the British government at the highest levels. Additionally, viewers can assume that Kate — who was ready to divorce fellow career diplomat Hal by the end of Season 1 — is likely thinking about her marriage differently...

Morena Baccarin, coming off her appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, has joined Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa in The Wrecking Crew, an action comedy from Amazon MGM Studios.

Claire Danes found worldwide fame when she portrayed the role of CIA operative Carrie Mathison in the iconic series Homeland. The critically acclaimed series, however, wasn’t easy to shoot.

With a storyline that followed CIA operative Carrie Mathison on the hunt for an American prisoner who has joined Al-Qaeda, filming the series came with its own sets of challenges.

Every Gun Had To Be Registered For Clarie Danes’ Homeland

A series that takes place in Afghanistan was quite difficult to make since shooting in the actual location was completely out of the question. To create that experience, the desserts of Morocco were used for the shots.

This meant that the Claire Danes-led series had to deal with the Moroccan government which was very particular with the rules.

The espionage thriller show, Homeland, received a lot of attention on its premiere in 2011. The unique storyline featured a suspicious CIA officer convinced that a Marine Corps Scout Sniper had turned on the government, and chaos ensued. But the most controversial aspect of the show was the inclusion of a mental illness as the main character’s trait.

Actress Claire Danes played Carrie Mathison, the CIA officer who suffered from bipolar disorder. The character’s illness became a central part of the plot, but it did not define the storyline. The actress also did her research on the disorder to showcase a realistic performance. Danes confessed she was relieved to discover that the sensitive issue was not treated as a gimmick by the show.

The original Matlock was a long-running network TV series in the 1980s and 1990s. It starred TV legend Andy Griffith as attorney Ben Matlock.

Debuting in 1986 on NBC, Matlock remained on that network until 1992, when it moved to ABC, where it remained until it wrapped up in 1995.

Matlock was a popular legal procedural created by Dean Hargrove, who was also behind the original Perry Mason.

Ben Matlock was a defense attorney who often proved his clients innocent, usually in dramatic courtroom moments.

Since early 2023, a reboot of Matlock has been in the works, not on the original show’s networks but on CBS.

The other big change is that the Matlock character in this version is a woman, played by Kathy Bates.

Winona Ryder has been part of the film industry for decades. She has starred in some very successful projects and had quite an impressive impact on popular culture. When one becomes as familiar with Hollywood as the actress, one tends to learn a thing or two about how things work.

While many are able to use this knowledge to navigate the tough landscape, Rider seems to have grown a sixth sense thanks to her experiences in the industry. During an interview for the promotion of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the actress confessed that she had an intuition about Timothée Chalamet that turned out to be very true.

Morena Baccarin has limited screen time in the Deadpool films, especially Deadpool & Wolverine where we find out that the couple has broken up. It looks like the future of Vanessa and Wade Wilson is hanging on by a thread, despite the film hinting at their reconciliation in the epilogue. If Morena Baccarin is looking for a role in the superhero universe with more meat, she might have to make the switch to the Dcu, or as Ryan Reynolds said, the “sh-t fu-ks down the street.

If Morena Baccarin plans on switching gears and shifting into the Dcu, she already has a role in her mind that would be perfect for her – Catwoman. As it turns out, fans would love nothing more than the actress donning the black suit and heading over to the Dcu to cause some trouble.

Is this the prestige TV pairing of our dreams? (Yeah, pretty much.)

Emmy winner Matthew Rhys (The Americans) will star opposite Emmy winner Claire Danes (Homeland) in the upcoming Netflix thriller The Beast in Me, our sister site Deadline reports.

Matthew Rhys is joining Claire Danes in the upcoming Netflix limited series “Beast in Me.”

The mystery thriller, which comes from creator and writer Gabe Rotter, showrunner Howard Gordon and 20th Television, follows Danes as acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs, who has been unable to write since the tragic death of her young son.

But she finds an unlikely subject for a new book in the house next door, which is bought by Nile Jarvis (Rhys), a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance. At once horrified and fascinated by this man, Aggie finds herself compulsively hunting for the truth – chasing his demons while fleeing her own – in a game of cat and mouse that might turn deadly.

In addition to Gordon and Rotter (“The X-Files”), the series is executive produced by Danes, writer Daniel Pearle (“American Crime Story”) and director Antonio Campos.

Based on the combined predictions of Gold Derby users, “Shōgun” is the Emmy front-runner for Best Drama Writing for the penultimate episode of its first season, “Crimson Sky,” penned by series co-creator Rachel Kondo with Caillin Puente. But hold on a second. “Shōgun” has a second nomination in the category for its series premiere episode, “Anjin,” written by creators Kondo and Justin Marks. Pilots have often been popular with voters — “Mad Men,” “Homeland” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” won for their initial installments — so might that episode win instead? Or alternately, might the two episodes split votes enough that “Slow Horses” slides right past them for an upset victory?

Every Best Drama Writing winner for the last nine years was the lone nominee from its series. The last time a program won with multiple nominations was 2014, when “Breaking Bad” prevailed for “Ozymandias”over “Felina.

Exclusive: Emmy Award winner Matthew Rhys has joined the cast of Netflix’s The Beast in Me, the mystery thriller project, created, written and executive-produced by Gabe Rotter. He joins previously announced Claire Danes who, in addition to starring, will also EP.

In The Beast In Me, since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs (Danes) has receded from public life, unable to write, a ghost of her former self. But she finds an unlikely subject for a new book when the house next door is bought by Nile Jarvis (Rhys), a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance.

At once horrified and fascinated by this man, Aggie finds herself compulsively hunting for the truth – chasing his demons while fleeing her own – in a game of cat and mouse that might turn deadly.

What is it like to have an all-consuming romance over the course of 30 years? Screenwriter-director Ron Nyswaner has written movies for over four decades, earning an Oscar nomination for Philadelphia, and has worked on critically acclaimed shows like Ray Donovan and Homeland. And now, with Showtime’s limited series Fellow Travelers, Nyswaner makes his debut as a TV creator.

Based on the Thomas Mallon novel, Fellow Travelers is a sweeping, tragic love story and political thriller chronicling the clandestine romance of two very different men who meet in the shadow of McCarthy-era Washington. Matt Bomer plays Hawkins Fuller, a man with a successful career in politics who generally avoids emotional entanglements — until he meets the idealistic Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey). The two begin a romance just as Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn declare war on “subversives and sexual deviants,” initiating one of the darkest periods in 20th-century American history.

Fans of Fire Country are eager to learn more about the upcoming third season, including if we're going to see Mickey Fox again before her spinoff! Here's what we know!

After establishing itself as one of CBS's biggest new hits in 2022, Fire Country, like all network shows, was delayed thanks to the 2023 Hollywood strikes. It returned in February 2024 with a new season and quickly built on season 1's plots.

With the show a hit, CBS naturally went to the old trend of planning a spinoff for it. They used the classic intro episode with "Alert the Sheriff" had a Three Rock inmate skipping camp right after a drug cartel's helicopter dropped several thousand dollars in cash on the area. That brought in the local Sheriff's department, including Sheriff's Sergeant Mickey Fox, who just so happened to be the younger stepsister of Sharon (Diane Farr) and thus aunt for...
