Post-Brexit television!
So what's the point of that show, to show the tribe how awesome white people live? I don't get it, WTF? Who thought this was a good idea?
You basically summed up Britain's entire history.
Throw in some dislike of the French for good measure and you'll really have the entirety of British history covered.
That's a wildly bad idea, holy shit.
I know they're technically separate but I'd be surprised if Sesame Street didn't show up on HBO Max.
Alvarez will direct all episodes, taking over from Esmail, who helmed all episodes in Season 1. Homecoming is heading into a second season that will deviate from the popular Gimlet Media's podcast which Season 1 was based on and will introduce new characters.
Monáe's character provides a glimpse into the potential Season 2 mystery — she plays a woman who finds herself floating in a canoe, with no memory of how she got there — or even who she is.
In addition to James and Chau we'd been hearing that Bobby Cannavale and possibly Shea Whigham were looking good to return.
Roadkill (written by David Hare (Collateral), directed by Michael Keillor (Line Of Duty, Strike, Chimerica) is a four-part fictional thriller about a self-made, forceful and charismatic politician called Peter Laurence (Hugh Laurie). Peter's public and private life seems to be falling apart - or rather is being picked apart by his enemies. As the personal revelations spiral, he is shamelessly untroubled by guilt or remorse, expertly walking a high wire between glory and catastrophe as he seeks to further his own agenda whilst others plot to bring him down. However events show just how hard it is, for both an individual and a country, to leave the past behind. With enemies so close to home, can Peter Laurence ever out-run his own secrets to win the ultimate prize?
Inside Man from Bafta and Emmy award-winning writer Steven Moffat (Dracula, Sherlock, Doctor Who).
In this four-part mini-series produced by Hartswood Films for BBC One, a prisoner on death row in the US and a woman trapped in a cellar under an English vicarage, cross paths in the most unexpected way…
When It Happens To You is made by the producers of Three Girls, the BBC's multi-award winning account of the grooming scandal in Rochdale. Its writer Gwyneth Hughes (Doing Money, Vanity Fair) explores the emotive issues around abortion in Northern Ireland and the experience of families and their loved ones whose lives have been profoundly affected by it.
Nice to see another David Hare series, and nice to see Moffat tackling something down to earth.Ridley Road, written and adapted for television by award-winning writer Sarah Solemani (Barry, Aphrodite Fry), from the critically acclaimed novel by Jo Bloom
Ridley Road is a thriller set against the backdrop of a swinging sixties London we haven't seen: an East End world where far right fascism is on the rise. When Vivien Epstein follows her lover into danger and he is caught between life and death, Vivien finds herself going undercover with the fascists, not only for him but for the sake of her country.
That's a bit worrying. Clearly they have a plan for at least 4 seasons of Ozark, but they're also well aware that after 3 they can get cut by Netflix.
the Ant-Man star plays Miles, a struggling man who starts an innovative spa treatment to become a better person and finds he's been replaced by an improved version of himself. The eight-episode comedy, which premieres Oct. 18, will follow Miles' fight for his identity, career and wife (Aisling Bea). The first-look photos (see below) show two oppositely dressed Rudds going through the character's day-to-day-life.
I would say... decently high, but pending what Lana wants to do... and probably not until after the new movie is out.Odds of Warner doing something in the Matrix universe for HBO MAX? 🤔

Animatrix 2.0 time. Believe.I would say it's a case of when rather if.
i could absolutely see WB try and span The Matrix as a cross platform franchise (anime again if not live action) like the MCU, assuming that the new film is a huge hit of course.
In a competitive situation, FX has acquired The Bridgewater Triangle, a short story by Brian Miller, for television series development, with Noah Hawley and his 26 Keys executive producing. Miller is attached to write the pilot. The project falls under Hawley's overall deal with FX and FX Productions.
The premise: Everyone's heard of the Bermuda Triangle, but there's a far more terrifying place known as The Bridgewater Triangle in southeastern Massachusetts. It's an actual area of well-documented supernatural activity that covers 17 small towns and 200 square miles of New England. The Bridgewater Triangle is an apocalyptic horror thriller set in these small towns. When a massive paranormal event strikes these 17 communities simultaneously, it turns these idyllic towns upside down and affects thousands of lives. Three estranged siblings must somehow survive and come together in the chaos as the only ones who can stop it.
Satine will play Julia. With a sultry beauty and a voice to die for, she is the dreamlike object of Spike Spiegel's (Cho) desire. She struggles to survive in a violent world.
They announced it a year ago, but it surprisingly wasn't mentioned in the 2017-2018 TV Cancellations Pilots Thread.How is this releasing in 2 months and we didn't know it existed? :o
I hope it's good, would be nice to see SMG in something again.Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Ringer alumna Sarah Michelle Gellar is eying a return to primetime. Gellar has reteamed with Ringer creators Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder for dramedy Other People's Houses, which has been set at Fox for development. Gellar will star and executive produce the project, based on the book by Abbi Waxman.
...
Written by Charmelo and Snyder, Other People's Houses, which has a script commitment, is described as a suburban dramedy, somewhere between Big Little Lies and Catastrophe. It is the story of nine people… living on a bucolic street… in the quiet, affluent neighborhood of Larchmont Village in Los Angeles. Using the lens of social media, our characters navigate their way through emotional ups and downs, as they try to figure out their lives as partners, parents, friends, and neighbors. And in the middle of the block — and the center of the drama — are our two main characters, two mothers (one stay-at-home, one working) Frances Bloom and Anne Porter, played by Gellar.

As media monoliths bundle their offerings, consumers will once again have to pay for a bunch of shows they don't want.
Matthew Ball wrote an opinion piece in the NY Times:
Streaming Video Will Soon Look Like the Bad Old Days of TV
There's also the fact that even people who do have everything are still going to end up paying less than if they "had everything" in the cable days.These articles are a dime a dozen. They're based on the premise that people have to have everything and don't ever drop or change out services.
Disney+ has abruptly pulled the plug on one of the high-profile original series in the works at the streaming service, Book of Enchantment, an adaptation of the Villains book series by Serena Valentino featuring some of Disney's most popular villains.
I hear the decision was largely creative, related to show's tone and direction. It came down yesterday when the project was shut down 13 weeks into a writers room where a team had been working on scripts.
Book of Enchantment had been in the works at Disney+ for almost a year. While it had not been formally greenlighted, budget conversations had been progressing, producers had scouted locations, expensive pay-or-play staffing deal(s) had been made, and a May 2020 production start in the UK had been eyed.
Book of Enchantment likely faced more intense scrutiny than other Disney+ shows because of its IP involving characters that are very important to the Disney canon. I hear as backup scripts started to come in, executives at the streaming platform felt the series was going into a darker direction than anticipated.
Disney brass have been open about the brand identity of Disney+ as family-oriented service, something all of its programming has to conform with. In the spring, Disney+'s High Fidelity series reboot starring Zoë Kravitz moved to Hulu because the project had evolved creatively into more adult subject matter. Disney+'s upcoming High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, switched showrunners and made creative changes earlier this year in part because the original showrunner was looking to tackle more adult themes.
With Book of Enchantment, I hear an effort was made for a mid-stream creative direction shift, trying to bring back some levity in tone while keeping the project going and the writers room open. As part of the efforts to find a path forward, producer Jason Reed was brought in after July 4 to help out. I hear that when the latest script came in this week and its tone was still darker than Disney+ executives wanted it to be, a decision was made to put an end of the project in this incarnation.
God forbid villains be a bit dark.
Does Elizabeth Warren have a plan for that?
*makes a TV series about villains*
*surprised it is dark*
???
*profit*

Crashing
Divorce
The Deuce
Vice
Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas
That's a lot of holes to fill next year!
They won't have a problem. Next year they will still have (at least):

Plus even more miniseries like The Outsider, Perry Mason, The Plot Against America, The Undoing, We Are Who We Are, and I Know This Much Is True. All of those have been confirmed for next year or been shooting for a bit.
and Gentlemen Jack will return at some point.
There's a lot of turnover, but a whole lot coming.
1) The Young Pope was genuinely fantastic.Wait, The New Pope is still a thing? I thought it was a one and done meme show. lol

"have to pay"
Except they won't. The streaming future is nowhere near as bad, expensive, frustrating, restrictive, etc as the hey day of cable was.
There won't be a new season of True Detective next year. It'll probably happen eventually but they aren't rushing into it until they have a good solid idea.
