U.S. Girls, the project of Toronto artist Meg Remy, is back with a new album, Scratch It, out June 20th via 4Ad. In addition to revealing a handful of new North American tour dates, Remy has also shared the project’s first single, “Bookends,” a sprawling ballad written as a tribute to the late Power Trip frontman Riley Gale.

Scratch It serves as the first U.S. Girls album since 2023’s Bless This Mess. She crafted the LP in Nashville with a brand new band, who will also join Remy on the road for U.S. Girls’ forthcoming North American tour. Remy recorded the new album with her band “live off the floor” with few overdubs, giving Scratch It a direct, intimate feel with notes of country, gospel, garage rock, soul, disco, folk, and more.

U.S. Girls’ 2025 tour in support of Scratch It kicks off with a Nashville show on May 14th,...

It's a little hard to believe that The Office spin-off is actually happening, especially because rumors of it have been going around for years. This time, however, the new series is giving all the signs that it has taken off by announcing main cast members and its basic premise. This week, however, The Office alumnus Oscar Nuñez provided an important update on The Paper, and it looks like the show is a lot closer to coming to our screens than we imagined.

The information was revealed during a participation on the Today show. Nuñez was invited along with several original cast members, including Brian Baumgartner (Kevin), Angela Kinsey (Angela), Creed Bratton (Creed), Kate Flannery (Meredith), Leslie David Baker (Stanley), and Ellie Kemper (Erin). The group was celebrating the series' 20th anniversary, and during the group interview Nuñez revealed that episodes are in the editing process, which might indicate that a trailer will pop up soon.

Terminal cancer, erotic daydreams of cunnilingus and finally having an orgasm, stepping on guys’ dicks, heartbreaking notions of mortality and friendship as love all merge like sweaty, messy sex in FX’s terrific “Dying For Sex,” a limited-series much more moving and sweet than much of this sounds.

From writers/creators/showrunners Kim Rosenstock and Liz Meriwether —the latter of whom made a super exciting creative leap in 2022, moving from jovial network comedy to the more meaningful Elizabeth Holmes prestige drama, “The Dropout” for Hulu with Amanda Seyfried (still funny in moments too)—“Dying For Sex” is based on the Wondery podcast of the same name by Nikki Boyer.

Having already created series like “New Girl” and sitcoms like “Single Parents” and “Bless This Mess,” writer/showrunner/producer Liz Merriwether’s position in TV comedy is well-cemented by now. But she really kicked it up a serious notch with “The Dropout,” an excellent mini-series charting the rise and fall of the disgraced biotechnology company Theranos and its founder, Elizabeth Holmes, played by Amanda Seyfried (read our review), which was showered with love at the 2022 Emmy Awards, the PGA, WGA and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Following their critically acclaimed and award-winning drama series, “The Dropout” for Hulu, Oscar-nominated and Emmy winner actress Amanda Seyfried is teaming up again with that series celebrated creator/writer/producer Elizabeth Meriwether.

Roadside Attractions has snagged U.S. rights to the comedy Summer Camp, starring Diane Keaton (Annie Hall), Kathy Bates (Richard Jewell) and Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave), on which we were first to report. Written and directed by Castille Landon (Perfect Addiction), the film is slated for release in theaters on May 31.

Summer Camp tells the story of Nora (Keaton), Ginny (Bates), and Mary (Woodard), who have been best friends since being inseparable at summer camp. As the years have passed, they’ve seen each other less and less, so when the chance to reunite for a summer camp reunion arises, they all take it, some begrudgingly and others excitedly. Each of their lives might not be where they’d imagined, but one thing is for sure — Nora, Ginny, and Mary need each other, and summer camp reminds them why.

Director Bryce McGuire drew inspiration from his childhood fear of swimming pools for the horror film Night Swim. Night Swim follows the Waller family as they discover their haunted swimming pool and the demonic entity lurking within. The film will have to rely on an unsettling atmosphere and creepy visuals rather than blood and gore to create terror.

Night Swim director Bryce McGuire has revealed his childhood inspiration for the upcoming horror film about a haunted pool. The movie is based on the director's 2014 short film of the same name, which depicted the same concept in a terrifying 4-minute video. Now, Blumhouse has helped turn the short into a feature film expanding on the original's premise.

Speaking with GamesRadar+, McGuire revealed an irrational fear of swimming pools as a child led to the idea for Night Swim ahead of release. The director explained that fear deepened after he first saw Jaws,...

How groovy is the tagline for season two of Minx: “Getting bigger, going harder.” The show delivers on that front, and then some. Between the addition of Elizabeth Perkins (The Afterparty) as a wealthy investor and several effective story arcs about sex, sexuality, power plays, feminism, and schlong tennis — you just have to watch for yourself — Minx is as creatively fertile as ever. Thanks to Starz.

The fetching series was dropped by HBO after already being picked up for a second season by the cable powerhouse, a move that star Jake Johnson recently called “f***king gross.” Thankfully, Starz scooped up the inventive 1970s comedy about an earnest feminist, Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond of Guardians of the Galaxy), who joins forces with a shady publisher, Doug (played by Johnson) to give birth to the first erotic magazine for women.

In season two, Doug, Joyce, and the entire Bottom Dollar crew...

The Future Of Music Interview is a Q&a in which our favorite artists and producers share their vision of what’s next, weighing in on everything from AI to emerging scenes to the artists inspiring them the most.

Meg Remy has been imagining radical new futures in her music for more than a decade, first on noisy, arty releases like 2011’s U.S. Girls on Kraak, and later on subtly subversive pop dreams like 2018’s In a Poem Unlimited and this year’s Bless This Mess. But the artist behind U.

Minx is thriving under Joyce's (Ophelia Lovibond) leadership, and we can't wait to see what's on tap for everyone.

Starz went public with the trailer for Minx Season 2 on Wednesday, and it shows the magazine reaching dizzying heights.

There's even a perfectly timed bit of dialogue from Jake Johnson's Doug at the beginning:

"A lot of people counted us out. But we are back and better than ever!"

Many did count the show out after HBO Max canceled Minx after one season.

We have Starz to thank for picking up Minx Season 2 because this show is a true gem, and the story deserves to be told.

It's a rarity to have such a refreshing show on the air, and thankfully, we'll have fresh episodes when Minx Season 2 debuts Friday, July 21.

The trailer promises to up the ante both on the show and for the magazine.

Set in 1970s Los Angeles,...

The very best in Canadian music is being recognized.

“The Canada Council for the Arts is proud once again this year to present the Polaris Music Prize Long List in support of extraordinary and diverse musical talents from across Canada, coast to coast to coast,” said Carolyn Warren, Director General, Arts Granting Programs Division, Canada Council for the Arts.

It's hard to believe that Minx Season 2 will finally see the light of day this summer.

After HBO Max canceled the comedy, it seemed there was no way forward.

Thankfully, Starz stepped in to save the day to give fans the second season.

The premium cabler confirmed today that Minx Season 2 will premiere on Friday, July 21, at midnight on the Starz app and all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms.

On linear, it will debut on Starz at 9 Pm Et/Pt in the U.S. and Canada.

The first season is also available to stream on the Starz app.

Set in 1970s Los Angeles, Minx centers around Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher (Jake Johnson) to create the first erotic magazine for women.

On Minx Season 2, Doug and Joyce grapple with Minx's explosive success, which brings more money, fame and temptation than either...

Exclusive: Beverly D’Angelo (National Lampoon’s Vacation), Dennis Haysbert (Far from Heaven), Nicole Richie (Bless This Mess) and Josh Peck (How I Met Your Father) are among the newest additions to the indie comedy Summer Camp from writer-director Castille Landon (After franchise).

Diane Keaton, Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard and Eugene Levy will lead the ensemble, as previously announced, with Betsy Sodaro (Ghosts) and Tom Wright (Daisy Jones & The Six) rounding it out.

The film heading into production next month in North Carolina tells the story of Nora, Ginny and Mary, who have been best friends since childhood, spending their summers together inseparably at sleepaway camp. As the years have passed, they’ve seen each other less and less, so when the chance to reunite for a summer camp reunion arises, they all take it, some begrudgingly and others, excitedly. Each of their lives might not be where they’d imagined, but...

Nancy Lenehan has signed on to join Ellie Kemper’s forthcoming comedy pilot “Drop-Off” at ABC as a series regular.

She’ll play Marianne, the warm, caring and responsible mother of Julia (Kemper) who’s been taking care of her kids for the last six years. “Having been a working single mom herself, Marianne is not without compassion for Julia’s situation and she loves her grandchildren, but she’s done. Marianne has decided to live her own life from now on, and that includes having an affair with a guy named Rene and firmly taking some time for herself,” reads the character description.

In addition to Kemper, she joins previously announced cast member Judy Greer.

“Drop-Off” is the American adaptation of the popular British comedy “Motherland.” Variety exclusively reported the adaptation news. The show was previously set up at Hulu by Lionsgate.

Nancy Lenehan has joined the cast for ABC’s comedy pilot “Drop-Off,” the network announced Thursday.

The “A League of Their Own” actress will play series regular Marianne, the loving and warm mother of Julia (Ellie Kemper), herself a working mother who struggles to balance parenting with her career. Per the announcement, Marianne is a character who, after seeing the pressure of being a single mom, was more than happy to lend a hand in helping with the care for her grandchildren. But her attitude takes a shift for the selfish as she readies to reclaim her “me time.” Marianne isn’t afraid to embrace her other passions, including an affair with a suitor named Rene.

In addition to starring, Kemper serves as an executive producer for the pilot alongside Michael Showalter, who directs, and Julieanne Smolinski, who is set to write the pilot. Lenehan joins a growing cast list,...

Nancy Lenehan is set as a lead opposite Ellie Kemper in ABC’s Drop-Off (working title), a comedy pilot based on the British series Motherland, from writer Julieanne Smolinski, Sharon Horgan and Clelia Mountford’s Merman Television, Paul Feig’s Feigco Entertainment, Lionsgate and ABC Signature. Judy Greer, Karan Soni and Michaela Conlin also star.

Written by Smolinski, Drop-Off (wt) centers on Julia (Kemper), a working mom for whom nothing is working so she goes looking for her village. With the help of new friends Calvin (Soni) and Liz (Conlin), Julia discovers she just might succeed at balancing work and parenting from time to time. This is a comedy for anybody who’s dropped their kids at school, breathed a sigh of relief … then realized it’s Sunday.

Lenehan will play Marianne. Warm, loving, responsible, the kind of person who has rocks in her garden with platitudes chiseled on them,...
