Despite doing well in its first season, Prime Video has sadly reversed its renewal of The Peripheral.

The change of heart likely stemmed from the dual strikes occurring across the industry.

The series starred Chloë Grace Moretz as Flynne Fischer, a woman who discovered a secret connection to an alternate reality as well as a dark future of her own.

What is one of the first of likely many strike-related cancellations, The Peripheral seemed to fare well on the streamer.

Each week, Twitter would be abuzz with theories and praise for the show, especially for the performances from Moretz and one of the lead antagonists, played by T'Nia Miller.

With the WGA on strike for over 100 days and SAG-AFTRA on strike for over a month, we expect there to be many similar cases of reversals when it comes to renewed series that hadn't already begun production.

There are still...

Sky heads back to the studio

Comcast-owned Sky has signed a three-season deal for more A League Of Their Own, with the sports quiz going back into production amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Cpl Productions show (which was remade as Game On! for CBS) will be back in the studio later this month, but there will be no audience. Red Arrow Studios-owned Cpl will also make a third season of There’s Something About Movies for Sky, which will also begin shooting later in July. Sky commissioner Barbara Lee said: “We all need some joy in our lives so we are excited to start production on two of our customers’ most loved shows.” Sky restarted some scripted production across Europe last month, with Ich Und Die Anderen resuming in Vienna and Sky Studios and Sagafilm co-production Sisterhood beginning shooting in Iceland.

Would you be freaked out it you discovered your friend working out with your mum?

Jack Whitehall was shocked to see pictures of James Corden at the gym with his mother Hilary on tonight's (June 12) episode of Sky 1's A League of Their Own.

It was revealed on the show that basketball player LeBron James works out with his mum.

Corden then said: "It's not so weird, I've regularly worked out with Jack's mum.

"Look, I've got some photos here from one of our sweaty sessions. We start with some stretches, that's me and Hilary just there…."

Whitehall replied: "Are you f***ing joking? That's my actual mum! What the hell?! When did you do that?!... Why's my mum done this to me?!"

Corden continued: "We do this twice a week. We have a gentle cycle ride… Then we hit the rowing machine and it's pretty tough so we usually...

Rita Ora will perform her new single 'Poison' on The Graham Norton Show on Friday.

The singer is the musical guest on this week's show, which airs on June 26 at 10.35pm on BBC One.

'Poison' is Ora's first solo release since 'I Will Never Let You Down', which topped the charts in 2014. It is released on June 28.

Other guests include Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, who is currently top of the Drivers' World Championship Standings ahead of his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg.

Also announced for the show is comedian and actor Jack Whitehall, who currently appears on Sky1's sports comedy panel show A League of Their Own.

Previously-announced stars for the show include Ted 2 stars Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane.

Comedian and TV presenter Dara O Briain and singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper also appear.

5ive's numbers have dwindled over the last few years, but not anymore. Self-proclaimed superfan Jack Whitehall and retired cricketer Freddie Flintoff have joined their ranks.

The pair will take to the stage for a special performance with the boyband on tonight's (May 29) episode of A League Of Their Own.

When the boys start discussing what is on their bucket lists, Whitehall admits that he's always wanted the chance to perform with the '90s boyband, prompting a special visit from remaining members Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, and Scott Robinson.

5ive were the subject of a particularly inventive April Fool's Day joke this year, when it was reported that they were joining forces with Blue to form supergroup Flue.

The boyband quickly dashed fans' hopes by confirming it was just a prank, but they didn't seem against the idea of performing with Blue in the future.

A League of Their Own is looking like a rather healthy panel show. The Sky1 sports palaver has wormed its way well and truly into viewers' hearts, and it's now back for another series with James Corden, Jack Whitehall, Freddie Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp.

We sat down with the guys to find out what we can expect from the new series, whether James is quitting for the Us, and whether we'll see Neil Ruddock in pants again (what do you think?) Read on for all the gossip...

1. They're all happy to be back.

"This is the series I've enjoyed the most," James said. "I just think the shows we've done have been really good. I said to my wife the other day, 'I'm enjoying this so much it shouldn't be allowed to be called work'. That's the absolute truth. I think we've done some really fun things and good guests.

James Corden will never quit 'A League of Their Own'. The 36-year-old presenter adores working on the comical sports quiz and even had it written into his contract for 'The Late, Late Show' that his Us schedule would accommodate filming for the Sky series. He said: ''I'll keep doing it as long as the show exists. I love it. It never feels like work. When I was sorting out the American job, I told them I had a show on British TV that I didn't want to give up, so it was always part of the deal.'' James believes the key to...

Who doesn't love Holly Willoughby? The TV presenter can do pretty much anything and everything on the box - including her new sports panel show Play To The Whistle. We got Holly on the phone to talk about Jimmy Bullard in drag, the fitness of Piers Morgan, whether Frank Lampard's a diva, what she thinks of Katie Hopkins and why she's never too rude on TV...

I think people hear of a sports panel show and think, 'Is that going to be like A League of Their Own?' But Play To The Whistle is completely different, isn't it?

"I think so. I mean, it's a sports panel show so I understand there is a similarity in that aspect but I think it's its own show. We have different clips from online, sport from around the world. I think the panel is very unique because we've got Frank Lampard,...

While James Corden is not entirely new to the United States, he's not entering The Late Late Show with nearly the same level of familiarity to U.S. audiences as his predecessor, Craig Ferguson.

For the uninitiated, here are some of Corden's best TV moments that prove he's got this gig on lock.

That Time He Locked Lips with Harry Styles

To the envy of teens everywhere (and grown adults, shut up), One Direction's Styles, then 19 years old, laid one on Corden during a kiss cam segment on A League of Their Own, which Corden has hosted since 2011. Though...

Line of Duty, Casualty and Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse have won at the Royal Television Society Programme Awards 2013-2014.

Line of Duty picked up Best Drama Series, Best Actress went to Happy Valley's Sarah Lancashire and Best Actor was won by Tom Hollander (A Poet in New York).

Casualty beat Coronation Street and EastEnders to claim Best Soap, while comedy Harry & Paul's Story of the Twos received two awards from its three nominations.

The stars of A League of Their Own join forces with Jersey Boys for a rousing sing-along on this week's show.

James Corden, Jamie Redknapp, Freddie Flintoff and Jack Whitehall put on the red blazers and sung their hearts out to 'December 1963 (Oh What A Night)' - they're not half bad, you know!

And we suspect Redknapp enjoyed it a fair bit more than Neil Ruddock's lap dance earlier this year.

See the boys perform on Sky1's A League of Their Own tonight (October 17) at 9pm.

Corden revealed on last week's show how he was rejected by Pixie Lott after asking her out.

Stand Up to Cancer: Channel 4, 7pm

This live event is the culmination of two months worth of fundraising and a fortnight's programming. It will be hosted by the likes of Davina McCall, Alan Carr and Dr. Christian Jessen.

Tonight will include a star-studded cast of celebrities and researchers all unified under the banner of combating cancer, with sketches featuring Taylor Swift and Jamie Oliver, the cast of Men Behaving Badly, Andy Murray and Richard Ayoade - plus a Celebrity Gogglebox special.

Not Going Out: BBC One, 9.30pm

Lee Mack and Sally Bretton reprise their roles in the long-running series as Lee and Lucy, the insufferable slacker and tolerant landlady.

Tonight's episode covers a typical comedic conundrum the pair find themselves in, as Lucy has her handbag stolen in front of Lee and he subsequently endeavours to prove his masculinity.

A League of Their Own: Sky1, 9pm...

Warning: The following footage of ex-footballer Neil 'Razor' Ruddock stripping is not for the faint-hearted.

What you're about to see cannot be unseen. Take it away Razor:

He treats Jamie Redknapp to a dance on tonight's (September 26) A League of Their Own, which airs on Sky1 at 10pm.

Don't try and blame us - you clicked on a link containing the words 'Neil Ruddock lap dance', it's completely your own fault.

"From the age of 17 to 18, I should've just accepted that I didn't have a beard and would have to wait. I had horrible, pubey bum-fluff on my face for two years and it looked awful."

Jack Whitehall knows the pain of regret all too well from his own school days, which is perhaps why the actor, writer and comic is reticent to draw a line under Bad Education - despite all the early buzz suggesting that the BBC Three sitcom's third series will be its last.

"When we set out to write it, it was supposed to be the last one," he admits. "But I don't want to completely rule it out. It is left a little bit open.

"One never wants to say never, but if it ended after this series, there'd be a degree of closure and you wouldn't be unfulfilled."

One thing's for certain - this new...

CBS will rely on another European to keep up the laughs in late night. British actor-comedian James Corden, 36, will take over as the new host of The Late Late Show in 2015, replacing the Scotland-born Craig Ferguson, who announced in April that he'll step down from the late-night show that he's hosted for the past 10 years. Ferguson's final broadcast will be in December. "I can't describe how thrilled and honored I am to be taking over from the brilliant Craig Ferguson," Corden said in a statement. "To be asked to host such a prestigious show on America's No. 1 network is hugely exciting.

Big School: BBC One, 9pm

The second series of David Walliams's surreal school sitcom continues tonight, with flame-haired French teacher Miss Postern sulking because no-one remembered it's her birthday. Meanwhile, the arrival of a handsome new geography teacher has Walliams's embattled Mr Church distressed - as he's potentially yet another rival for Miss Postern's affections.

A League of Their Own: series 8, 2 of 8 - Sky1, 9pm

England midfielder Andros Townsend, presenter Laura Whitmore and comedian Mickey Flanagan are the guests on James Corden's irreverent sports panel show tonight, and no-one is safe from the ludicrousness that ensues.

A League of Their Own: Sky1, 9pm

Return of the BAFTA-winning sports-based comedy quiz - now in its eighth series - hosted by James Corden.

Comedian Kevin Bridges, footballer Frank Lampard and future Strictly star Judy Murray join Corden, team captains Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff and regular panellist Jack Whitehall.

Big School: BBC One, 9.30pm

The classroom comedy written by and starring David Walliams is back for a second series, with the regular cast - which also includes Catherine Tate and Philip Glenister - joined by ex-EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison.

A League of Their Own is back tonight (August 29) and we're looking forward to seeing our favourite sports stars doing ridiculous things again - hooray! To celebrate the return of the show, we headed out to Elstree to hang out backstage with the boys - James Corden, Jack Whitehall, Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff - while they prepared for another show.

As well as making the frankly ridiculous decision to take on one of the endgames - we're not going to go into it, we're still cringing (and a little bit in pain) - we got the guys together for a bit of a chat, and found out what they had to say about some burning questions we have...

What's it like filming the show?

Like being back at school, apparently. But only the bit when school was fun. "I always think it's the one week of the year where...

English entertainer James Corden is poised to replace Craig Ferguson on CBS' "Late Late Show," and that begs the question: Who? Corden is an actor, comic, writer, and presenter who first experienced great success with his British series "Gavin & Stacey," but he's since found international acclaim in other venues. He's amiable, informed, and approachable-seeming, and in that way his appeal is not much different than Ferguson's. But still, he has some specific areas of talent that are new and fascinating. Here are five of Corden's most appealing characteristics.  1. He can rap. Here is on the British game show "A League of Their Own" throwing down with impressive speed. That line about the long jump is also hilarious. 2. He has Broadway chops. Corden won the Tony for Best Actor in a Play in "One Man, Two Guvnors," a zany Commedia dell'arte play with plenty of runaround antics. Here's just some of his vaudevillian antics.

The cast of A League of Their Own featured in a 24-themed TV spot tonight (July 16).

James Corden, Freddie Flintoff, Jack Whitehall and Jamie Redknapp appeared in the advert, based on the Fox/Sky1 drama which aired its Live Another Day series finale at 9pm.

All the hallmark features of the drama were in evidence: the Aloto logo could be seen in the style of 24, the famous clock ticked on ominously and the advert also got the split screen treatment.

Adam MacDonald, director of Sky1, said: "What better way to celebrate the end of the brilliant 24: Live Another Day than by merging two of our leading shows together for a first look at the return of the BAFTA-winning A League of Their Own."

A League of Their Own was recently renewed for three more series by Sky.

The sporting panel show, which will air its eighth series in the summer,...

Okay, so we might not be wearing our gladrags and we might not be sipping champagne, but who says a onesie and a takeaway can't be glamorous?

It's BAFTA night, and while we're not at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane with all the best and brightest from the last year of television, at least we can join the party from our sofas. Yep, we'll be blogging along with the awards - which start at 8pm on BBC One - so grab your slippers and a cuppa and join in by tweeting @digitalspy and leaving your comments below...

And as a reminder, the awards actually start in "real life" at 7pm - but we'll be doggedly going along with the television broadcast and pretending we're not an hour behind everyone else, so there's no fear of spoilers. If you want things as they happen, we'll be updating our winners' list here.

A League of Their Own has been renewed for three more series by Sky1.

The sporting panel show, which will air its eighth series in the summer, is now secure until 2017 thanks to the deal.

Sky1's director Adam MacDonald said: "A League of Their Own's energetic blend of sport and big, hearty laughter has grown to become one of Sky1's strongest returning series. Its popularity with Sky customers is a thing to treasure, and I'm delighted we have agreed a three-year deal to continue that success story."

A League of Their Own features James Corden as host, Freddie Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp as team captains and Jack Whitehall as a permanent panellist.

The deal means that following the eighth series this summer, a ninth run will air in 2015, a tenth in 2016 and an eleventh in 2017. Each series will include eight episodes along with two Unseen instalments.

Flintoff...

Freddie Flintoff has revealed that he would love to continue filming A League of Their Own for many series to come.

The cricketer - who is currently appearing in Sky1's Flintoff's Road to Nowhere - told Digital Spy that he has finished filming series eight of the panel show.

"I think we've got another 25 in us!" he joked. "I think it's like anything - I think the public decide, don't they? If people watch it, then it'll carry on, if they don't, then it won't - so hopefully people will keep watching it and we can keep doing it."

Flintoff admitted that he wasn't sure what to think of the show when it started, explaining: "Especially me and Jamie, the sportsmen, we were a bit unsure about it and a bit unsure about ourselves and what we'd have to do. We never dreamt that we'd be in series eight - we thought,...

Freddie Flintoff is known for many things. Cricket. Boxing. A League of Their Own. But environmentalism? Yep, not so much. Still, Freddie can probably add that string to his bow after taking part in new Sky1 show Flintoff's Road to Nowhere, as he and cyclist Rob Penn rode their bikes along the Trans-Amazonian highway to find out more about the Amazon rainforest. And they had time for a few adventures along the way, of course! Read on to find out what Freddie had to say about training for the challenge, his bromance with Rob and why he could become a teacher...

Backchat with Jack Whitehall and His Dad: Wednesday (November 20) at 10pm on BBC Three

It seems we can't get away from Jack Whitehall nowadays. If it's not Bad Education that's lighting up the box, it's Fresh Meat or A League of Their Own. Now he's called for reinforcements in the shape of his father as he continues his bid to take over the world.

Backchat plays on the awkwardness that arises when Jack unleashes his anarchic posh boy routine around his dry and disapproving dad Michael, while the celebrity guests (Jeremy Paxman and Danny Dyer this week!) presumably look on in bemusement.

James Corden has had his setbacks, but not recently. He is on a roll with a new film and a television series he has co-written. Yet while the critics love him, he can't help but doubt himself. Carole Cadwalladr meets the hardest working man in show business

It amazes me that despite appearing in one of the biggest theatrical hits of recent years, One Man, Two Guvnors, a show that was loved by critics and adored by audiences, that was a triumph in the West End before becoming even bigger on Broadway, James Corden still worries about what people think of him. Despite winning a Tony (beating Philip Seymour Hoffman), and being cast as the lead in a big-budget film by the man who directed The Devil Wears Prada, and winning the leading role in an even bigger-budget Hollywood musical starring the one and only Meryl Streep, despite getting married and having a son,...

The moment Harry Styles and James Corden kiss has been released on video.

The One Direction star and the comedian reenact a 'kiss cam' moment on the Sky1 comedy quizshow A League Of Their Own. Watch below:

Styles's bandmates Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan also feature in the episode, which is due to air on Friday (August 30).

All three members of One Direction take part in a game of Popstar Penalties, which sees each of the singers take their turn in goal, while Blue's Simon Webbe, Simon Cowell's ex-girlfriend Sinitta and Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley take a penalty against them.

Styles recently joked that he "had words" with his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift backstage at the MTV VMAs.

Swift caused controversy at the awards when a video showing her apparently saying "shut the f**k up" when One Direction were speaking went viral.

James Corden is getting a lot of attention from One Direction lately. But not exactly the type of attention you might expect. Although Harry Styles denied bisexual rumors in an interview with British GQ, he wasn't afraid to give the British comedian a smooch for the cameras during an appearance on A League of Their Own. Earlier this month, his friendship with U.K. TV and radio host Nick Grimshaw was questioned. "We're not dating, no. We're just friends," he said, adding "Bisexual? Me? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I'm not." Fellow bandmate Niall Horan also showed some attention to the English talk-show host. However, he opted...

One Direction‘s appearance on British game show, A League Of Their Own, is getting more and more interesting. Following news of Niall Horan‘s mooning, a promotional still of bandmate Harry Styles planting a wet one host James Corden has been released. The cameo, which was taped earlier in March, shows the “Best Song Ever” crooner in a...Read more»...

Harry Styles and James Corden have kissed during an episode of A League Of Their Own.

The 19-year-old One Direction star and the comedian reenact a 'kiss cam' moment on the Sky1 comedy quizshow, reminiscent of the type seen at many Us sporting events.

In the episode, Styles is seen to get up from the desk and sit on Corden's knee. When the camera cuts to the pair, they share a kiss.

Styles's bandmates Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan also feature in the episode, which is due to air on August 30.

All three members of One Direction take part in a game of Popstar Penalties, which sees each of the singers take their turn in goal, while Blue's Simon Webbe, Simon Cowell's ex-girlfriend Sinitta and Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley take a penalty against them.

Styles also takes part in a game in which he must try and score basketball hoops.

It’s a good day to be One Direction fan. Not one to let a cheeky stunt pass him by, 1D’s Niall Horan pulled quite the Nsfw prank on the British comedy show A League of Their Own this week when he pulled down his pants to moon the crowd, showing off a (thankfully temporary) tattoo of host James Corden‘s face....Read more»...
