Max is touting strong viewership for its true-crime limited drama series Love & Death.

Desperate housewives never got out of style on television, and in “Love & Death,” Elizabeth Olsen is playing a particularly troubled one. The “Wandavision” and “Sorry for Your Loss” actor stars in the final trailer for the HBO Max series, released this Thursday.
In “Love & Death,” Olsen portrays Candy Montgomery, a real-life Texas housewife charged in 1980 for the murder of her friend and neighbor Betty Gore after Gore was found dead in her house from 41 axe wounds.

We’re living in a true crime boom in both scripted and unscripted television — but “Love & Death” director and exec producer Lesli Linka Glatter said she hopes her new HBO Max series will be seen as much more than that.
Sure, the series involves the true story of accused (but acquitted) axe murderer Candy Montgomery, played by Elizabeth Olsen. “There is a horrible true crime at the core of this, but we didn’t want it to be just a true crime story,” Glatter said Saturday in a panel discussion after the premiere of “Love & Death” at the South by Southwest festival. And the show doesn’t shy away from Montgomery’s actions. But “it’s really, things are not what they appear to be. You have to go deeper to see what’s really going on. We really tried to look at the ‘how’ and ‘why’ rather than the ‘what.

Homeland will have the longest hiatus between seasons, with the drama’s final eighth season set to premiere February 9, two years after Season 7, which debuted on February 11 2018.
The final season originallywas scheduled to premiere in June 2019. The launch subsequently was moved to the end of 2019, and the date has now been finalized.
At Showtime’s TCA executive session, the network’s President of Entertainment Gary Levine stressed that the delays are related to the demands of filming and no creative or other issues.

Levine added: “There have been no missteps here. It’s been a relatively smooth process but a very ambitious production schedule that has just taken more time than we hoped it would. And one of the things we do at Showtime is we’d rather have it good than fast. And that’s...

Hugh Dancy will guest star on the eighth and final season of “Homeland.”
Dancy, who is married to the show’s star Claire Danes, will appear in a multi-episode arc as John Zabel, the president’s new foreign-policy advisor and Saul Berenson’s (Mandy Patinkin) newest opponent.
Here is the network’s description of the season: Carrie Mathison (Danes) recovering from months of brutal confinement in a Russian gulag. Her body is healing, but her memory remains fractured – which is a problem for Saul, now National Security Advisor to the newly ascendant President Warner (Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Beau Bridges).
