...you win this time.
Anyway, first photos from "The Crown" S3:
Showtime is developing an adaptation of fantasy drama Gormenghast from Doctor Who writer Toby Whithouse, Good Omens and American Gods' Neil Gaiman and A Beautiful Mind's Akiva Goldsman.
Deadline understands that the premium broadcaster has handed the adaptation, which is a co-production between American Gods producer Fremantle and the ViacomCBS-owned network, a script to series commitment and has opened a writers' room.
This comes after we revealed last year that the drama was being developed by showrunner Whithouse alongside exec producers Gaiman, Goldsman, Dante Di Loreto, Oliver Jones, Barry Spikings (The Deer Hunter) and David A. Stern (Howards End).
It marks the first television adaptation of the books since the BBC adapted the first two books – Titus Groan and Gormenghast – as a four-part series in 2000 with Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Christopher Lee starring.
The books follow the inhabitants of Castle Gormenghast, a sprawling, decaying, gothic-like structure with a raft of characters including Titus, the heir to the throne of the House of Groan, scheming kitchen boy Steerpike and twin sisters Cora and Clarice.
Showtime was able to board the adaptation – the latest big-budget fantasy drama to be in the works – as it falls outside of Gaiman's overall deal with Amazon. He told Deadline that he wanted to "take it to wherever will be the best home for it".
You mean on era? Let's just go with your average era user is not the target audience for the show.The Crown is a bonafide actual Netflix Original right? And supposed to be quite good on top? Strange that nobody ever mentions it in the usual Netflix... conversations let's call it.
People can clown on the WB and NBC streaming services all they want but at least they have decades of experience in the industry and a library of some shows that have been proven to have a dedicated streaming audience. Apple has none of that but thinks if they throw $80 million to Reese Witherspoon's production company, they'll somehow come out on top.
Kiran Sonia Sawar — who co-starred with Andrea Riseborough in the Black Mirror Season 4 installment "Crocodile" — will be a series regular as Harriet Kaur, a young Scottish Sikh who lives at "the Orphanage," where the gifted Victorian women reside. "Optimistic without being naive, Harriet is determined to live her life as she planned, despite its increasing weirdness."
* Elizabeth Berrington (Good Omens) as Lucy Best, one of the Orphans. "Her quick wit and high spirits mask the pain of a tragic past."
* Ella Smith (Call the Midwife) as Desirée Blodgett, a whore whose supernatural gift "makes men tell her everything on their minds, and they come away relieved in more than one sense."
* Viola Prettejohn (Counterpart) as Myrtle Haplisch, a girl who can't speak who's "everyone's favorite weird little mascot" at the Orphanage.
* Anna Devlin (12 Monkeys) as Primrose Chattoway, a ten-foot-tall girl who just wants "to be a proper, ordinary girl, and not take up too much space."
Additionally, Martyn Ford (Kingsman: The Golden Circle) will recur as Nicolas Perbal, aka Odium, "the quintessential henchman" who "looks as unpleasant as he smells."
It's fantastic, but it hasn't been on in two years. But overall Era's not the target demo.The Crown is a bonafide actual Netflix Original right? And supposed to be quite good on top? Strange that nobody ever mentions it in the usual Netflix... conversations let's call it.
I think also because not many view positively on the Royal family in general but it's one of the best shows on the service. Will definitely miss all the previous actors and actresses. Claire Foy delivered one heck of a performance. Still very much looking forward to the next as they have some excellent cast.It's fantastic, but it hasn't been on in two years.

Or write what you want to fuck.That's like the entire cast of Firefly but with a few of them gender-bent
I guess you write what you know
I missed the last few episodes but I hope it ended well narratively at least.Thursday night's ratings. The series finale of CBS's "Elementary" finished off in line with how it has been performing for the last couple of years, with a total of 3.12 million viewers and a 0.4 rating:
The finale was dumb, it had TWO time jumps so it could skip over everything. lolI missed the last few episodes but I hope it ended well narratively at least.
I stopped watching the show already so I won't see her but I have to imagine that this won't be great. Last I've seen of her, she isn't a good actor by any stretch.
She was so bad on the mic in the WWE. Every live promo was a trip.I stopped watching the show already so I won't see her but I have to imagine that this won't be great. Last I've seen of her, she isn't a good actor by any stretch.
Netflix has given a series order to Agent King, an adult animated comedy series about the King himself, Elvis Presley, from Priscilla Presley, John Eddie, Sony Pictures Animation, Sony Pictures Television and Authentic Brands Group. ...
Co-created by Presley and Eddie, in the series, Elvis Presley trades in his white jumpsuit for a jet pack when he is covertly inducted into a secret government spy program to help battle the dark forces that threaten the country he loves — all while holding down his day job as the King Of Rock And Roll.
It seems to be just that. Not sure how excited I am for it. Archer wore me the fuck out.Presley and Eddie will executive produce with Authentic Brands Group's Jamie Salter. Mike Arnold (Archer) will serve as showrunner, writer, and executive producer. Fletcher Moules will serve as supervising director and co-executive producer.
It's just not worth starting a show that airs on SyFy, you know they'll just cancel it prematurely.
Let 12 Monkeys end wonderfully too.The Magicians is still on and Amazon saved the Expanse, so I'm all good with SyFy.
Does Krypton end on a cliffhanger? Thinking of watching it, but not interested if there's no proper ending.
Mindhunter hype!
Yes yes Netflix bad is all the rage, but that scene in the last episode of Season 1 was one of my favorite scenes in anything...ever, so fight me!
'Krypton' Canceled After Two Seasons, Spinoff 'Lobo' Not Moving Forward On Syfy
But no Ed Kemper, I assume? Jeebus, that actor was great...yeah, he was on Barry for all of 5 minutes, but Mindhunter needs him.

This is what I want to know, as well. Watched the first season, haven't gotten through the second season yet. But don't want to bother if it doesn't have a proper ending of some sort.
Cobra Kai is safe though:I have learned that the online video platform is not proceeding with new seasons of its drama series Step Up: High Water and comedy Wayne, and =is not going forward with drama pilot Dark Cargo and comedy pilot It's a Man's World.
Following the string of cancellations and passes over the last few months, there are only three remaining scripted series that originated on YouTube Premium and will now transition to AVOD with their upcoming seasons. Topping the list is the hugely popular flagship Cobra Kai, which is headed into its third season and is expected to be a cornerstone of YouTube's new AVOD platform, as well as the upcoming second seasons of dramaImpulse and comedy Liza On Demand, the latter headlined by YouTube star Liza Koshy.
Pretty sure most of these were dropped a while ago, though maybe it's just coming to light now.
lol they knew this was the final season... why would they plan the season like that???The finale was dumb, it had TWO time jumps so it could skip over everything. lol
