Diane Lane has joined the slate of guest stars for Amazon's The Romanoffs, Matthew Weiner's followup to his Emmy-winning Mad Men.
Created, written, directed and executive produced by Weiner, The Romanoffs contemporary anthology series is set around the globe featuring separate stories about people who believe themselves to be descendants of the Russian royal family. Weiner is set to direct all episodes. The series will debut on Prime Video next year.
Lane joins recently announced Aaron Eckhart, Isabelle Huppert, Marthe Keller, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Jack Huston, Amanda Peet, Corey Stoll, Andrew Rannells, Mike Doyle, JJ Feild, Janet Montgomery and Paul Reiser.
As stated, it's so vague that it could be just about anything. We'll have to wait and see what Weiner actually does with it.
Kevin Reilly (previously at Fox) took over around the beginning of 2015.Yesterday I was thinking about TBS and their shift. What happened that they've started getting successful new shows that seem like they'll stick around. I remember that show Ground Floor and Sullivan and Son dying pretty fast. Did some leadership change at the top and they are accepting better show pitches?
Cool, so it was some change towards the top. Good for him. TBS seems to be doing some good stuff since thenKevin Reilly (previously at Fox) took over around the beginning of 2015.
Filming on the upcoming sixth and final season of Netflix's Washington D.C.-set drama House Of Cards has been suspended indefinitely. Cast and crew of the MRC-produced series were told of the decision this morning.
"MRC and Netflix have decided to suspend production on House of Cards season six, until further notice, to give us time to review the current situation and to address any concerns of our cast and crew," the two companies said in a joint statement to Deadline.
Beautiful.
Wow, I was being cynical and thought they were using this as an opportunity to virtue signal for a series that was already on the chopping block, but I guess they really were completely unprepared for this.
For the sake of completeness, 'House of Cards' Spinoffs in the Works at Netflix . There's a bit of discussion about this in the main HoC thread.
The ultimate battle of Good vs. Evil has some fresh blood. Amazon and BBC Two said today that Anna Maxwell Martin has joined their upcoming fantasy drama series Good Omens as the demon Beelzebub and Mireille Enos, Lourdes Faberas and Yusuf Gatewood are saddling up as Horsemen of the Apocalpyse.
Enos will play War, Faberas is Pollution and Gatewood is Famine — but what about that fourth Horseman? "We are hoping that Death will be played by Death," writer-showrunner Neil Gaiman said.
Michael Sheen and David Tennant play the respective lead characters of Arizaphale and Crowley in the six-part series based on Gaiman's and Terry Pratchett's novel. Good Omens takes place in 2018 when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, and tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan — except a somewhat fussy angel, and a fast-living demon are not looking forward to the coming war, and someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.
Good Omens is in production and will be released by Amazon Prime Video in more than 200 countries in 2019. It will be followed by a run on BBC Two in the U.K. The series is being produced by the comedy team at BBC Studios, the BBC's commercial production arm, Narrativia and The Blank Corporation, in association with BBC Worldwide.
BBC Worldwide is to move out of commissioning original content for its slew of international channels and has eliminated positions across its programming team.
The commercial arm of the BBC has shifted its strategy from ordering factual entertainment series such as Fishing Impossible and Stupid Man Smart Phone for its BBC Earth and BBC Brit channels. Last year, the two channels aired over 50 hours of originally commissioned content.
These channels will now concentrate on airing a mixture of existing BBC Worldwide-distributed series, including natural history titles like Planet Earth II, and more local formats.
Glad The Gifted is doing alright, just started it the other day and loved it.
"The Walking Dead" put up ratings on Sunday that were the show's lowest since the late stages of its second season more than five years ago.
The show was still Sunday's biggest draw on cable by a long shot, but its 4.0 rating among adults 18-49 was the lowest for the show since March 11, 2012 — the next-to-last episode of Season 2. "TWD's" 8.92 million viewers were the least since the Season 2 finale.
Other cable series took a hit Sunday as well, perhaps in part due to a highly rated World Series game on FOX. "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" (0.4) was off a tenth of a point in adults 18-49 dipped under a million viewers. "Outlander" (0.3, 1.52 million viewers) was also down (vs. 0.4 and 1.7 million) after several weeks of viewer growth.
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" (0.3) fell out of the top 25, and the finale of "The Deuce" (0.2, 771,000) was off a bit from previous weeks.
Honestly its gotten so contrived and annoying im near dropping it myself.
Oh for fuck's sake. I really liked Season 1, and I couldn't even get halfway through 2 because it was so fucking awful. Just let it die.
It was like S2 was specifically attacking any enjoyment you could possibly have gotten from S1.Oh for fuck's sake. I really liked Season 1, and I couldn't even get halfway through 2 because it was so fucking awful. Just let it die.
Yeah. Particularly since theyIt was like S2 was specifically attacking any enjoyment you could possibly have gotten from S1.
It was so bad in such a specific way that it not only felt like an "FU" to the audience but that it was a sabotage or something.
Yup and that wasn't even remotely subtle,Yeah. Particularly since theykilled off basically everyone left from the first season who was cool.
It would be interesting to compare the L3, L7, L30 numbers for the different seasons and check if the cumulative viewership is also declining or if it's just the live viewers.I don't know how many people are dropping the show altogether vs delaying their viewing for weeks/months, but The Walking Dead is certainly losing its "must watch" status. I think enthusiasm is waning because people are realizing that it's an open ended narrative - one designed to go on and on and on and on and on for years on end. It's an interesting case because it's basically a (season long) procedural in prestige drama clothing, more NCIS/CSI than Breaking Bad/The Americans. Which isn't inherently a bad thing, it's just that people expect a "serious drama" like this to have a closed ended narrative. After 8 years they expect to see build up to a definite conclusion and they know they're not getting that anytime soon.

People in general realizing The Walking Dead is actually not that good overall makes me slightly more optimistic in humanity.I don't know how many people are dropping the show altogether vs delaying their viewing for weeks/months, but The Walking Dead is certainly losing its "must watch" status.

At this point The Walking Dead could run as long as a genuine soap opera with they way the cast can just be slowly replaced like a ship of Theseus.
I feel like at the end of the Walking Dead, literally everyone from Season 1 and 2 will be gone except for Corl. Corl will never leave.
Realistically though, the second Daryl bites the dust, the show is probably on its way out.
YesHas Corllike in the Walking Dead comics?gotten shot in the face yet
TWD has gotten pretty bad. The Negan arc is horrible. The premier episode this season when he's standing RIGHT IN THE FUCKING OPEN and no one shoots him is just off the charts ludicrous.
The only good episode of TWD is the pilot. It's never been better than that and I regret giving it four seasons before dropping it.
