It’s a heartbreaker for Heartstopper.
Emmy winner Olivia Colman will not return for the third season of Netflix’s British coming-out comedy.
“I couldn’t do number three. I couldn’t fit it in. I feel awful about that,” the actress who recurred as Sarah Nelson, mother to Nick Nelson (Kit Connor), told Forbes in a feature published Thursday. “I feel like I was part of one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever been part of.”
Series creator Alice Oseman responded to the news on her Instagram Story, explaining that the production “tried absolutely everything we could” to get Colman back for the role, but it “wasn’t meant to be, and that’s just the way the TV world works sometimes.”

Four years after Showtime’s award-winning Homeland ended its eight-season run, star Claire Danes and creator Howard Gordon are reuniting at Netflix.
The streaming giant has handed out a straight-to-series order for The Beast in Me, a limited series starring Danes and from showrunner Gordon.
Created by Gabe Rotter, Netflix says the mystery thriller revolves around “acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs, who since the death of her young son has receded from public life, unable to write, a ghost of her former self. But she finds an unlikely subject for a new book when the house next door is bought by Nile Sheldon, a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance. At once horrified and fascinated by this man, Aggie finds herself compulsively hunting for the truth — chasing his demons while fleeing her own — in a game of cat and mouse that might turn deadly.

Following Bravo’s reboot of “The Real Housewives of New York City” last year, the network has announced that all six cast members are set to return for its upcoming Season 15. Yes, that includes even the ostensibly elusive, seemingly reluctant Jenna Lyons, who came into the show’s 14th season as the cast’s only famous person, and revealed herself over the course of the show to be a shy, charming oddball — and who, since the season premiered in July of last year, has been the subject of endless rumors speculating that she would not care to repeat the experience.

A pop track about Pop-Tarts? Sounds about right.
Jimmy Fallon hosted Jerry Seinfeld on Wednesday’s episode of The Tonight Show, and the duo discussed Seinfeld’s new Netflix movie about the creation of the breakfast treat.
Unfrosted is the legendary comic’s directorial debut. It features a who’s-who of comedy legends, and hits the streamer May 3.
Fallon teased earlier in the week that he and Meghan Trainor recorded a song for Seinfeld’s movie, Sweet Morning Heat. Mark Ronson produced the track.
“About a month ago, I get a phone call from you,” Fallon said to Seinfeld during his Wednesday Tonight show appearance. “You say: ‘Jimmy. I did the movie, Unfrosted. It came out great. It’s locked, but I still think there’s room to get Jimmy Fallon in this movie.”
Fallon added that he was getting prepared for an actual on-camera role, but Seinfeld threw a curve ball at him.

Kenan Thompson isn’t staying quiet about what he experienced on the Nickelodeon sets.
The longtime “SNL” star, who was a child actor on sketch series “All That” and “Kenan & Kel,” addressed the explosive docuseries “Quiet on Set” that detailed abuse claims from top executives at the network. During an appearance on “The Tamron Hall Show” in the below video, Thompson called coming to terms with the allegations “a tough subject,” especially as he was on the cusp of the era of the Nickelodeon stars in question.
“It’s tough for me because I can’t really speak on things that I never witnessed, you know what I’m saying? Because all these things happened after I left, basically,” Thompson said. “My heart goes out to anybody that’s been victimized, or their families.

A few years ago, this didn’t seem like the obvious trajectory for Apple TV+. When the service launched in 2019, the star-studded drama “The Morning Show” was clearly the flagship series meant to prove the tech giant’s new streamer was coming out of the gate to compete with the likes of HBO and Netflix in regards to big budget TV projects. It was joined by historical dramedy “Dickinson,” the Peabody-winning Hailee Steinfeld vehicle, a quirky critical darling that once again showed Apple was aiming for something different from all the other streaming services.

The revelations in ID’s Quiet on Set docuseries have been extraordinary, lifting the veil on a culture of toxicity and alleged abuse behind the scenes of some of the most popular kids’ television shows on Nickelodeon in the ’90s and early aughts. Many of the documented incidents took place in or around production on some specific shows, including The Amanda Show. Archival footage of the series’ lead, Amanda Bynes, is repeatedly revisited in the docuseries to showcase some of the controversial choices made by former producer Dan Schneider. For example, an editor on The Amanda Show, Karen Finley Thompson, said in the docuseries that she was disturbed by the tactile relationship between Schneider and the then-minor Bynes, including him accepting neck massages from her. In another instance, archival footage of appearing in a hot tub with Schneider for a promotional video he wrote was panned as a “sad and...

If you’re going to spend your life under political house arrest, you could do worse than the gilded cage of Moscow’s plush Hotel Metropol, even if one’s accustomed suite has now become an attic grotto. Those are the reduced circumstances to which Count Alexander Rostov (a lovably witty Ewan McGregor) adjusts in Showtime‘s poignant adaptation from Ben Vanstone (All Creatures Great and Small) of Amor Towles’ acclaimed novel, A Gentleman in Moscow. Is his spirit diminished? Hardly. “It is the business of times to change and gentlemen to change with them,” Rostov concedes with characteristic dignity in the wake of the Russian Revolution that renders the deposed nobility the enemy of the state. He is warned in no uncertain terms that should he ever step outside the Metropol he will be shot on sight, and his response to being moved to what once were servants’ quarters...

However, Nwomdim managed to get her “Rich Auntie with No Kids” onto that episode’s Weekend Update segment, and she quickly became one of the most memorable characters of Season 49.

Nwodim explained she wrote the sketch with SNL staffers Asha Ward, Gary Richardson, and Alex English.

“We Were the Lucky Ones” has its warning built into the title. The Hulu series based on the book by Georgia Hunter and adapted by Erica Lipez is about how one family survived and separated during the Holocaust, all of it underscored by that title — this is what they went through, the horror they witnessed and endured, the sadness that befell them, and they were lucky.
The series kicks off in Radom, Poland before the War, with the Kurc family: Siblings Halina (Joey King), Addy (Logan Lerman), Genek (Henry Lloyd-Hughes), Jakob (Amit Rahav), and Mila (Hadas Yaron) — and their parents, Sol (Lior Ashkenazi) and Nechuma (Robin Weigert). The Kurcs are close-knit, their home echoing with overlapping voices and laughter at the holidays, and they already feel the pangs of missing Addy, who lives in Paris.
War creeps in, but at first, life continues. Lipez limits the show’s scope exactly right,...

Jerry Seinfeld has been thinking about the Pop-Tart for a long time. As far back as a Late Show appearance in 2010, the comedian and actor has been stewing on the rectangular Kellogg’s snack. In 2018, he tweeted that he’d been thinking about “an invention of the [Pop-Tart] movie.” Soon, the idea spread into his work.
“[Co-writer] Spike Feresten and I, as a joke, would say to each other, ‘Let’s make a movie about Pop-Tarts,’ ” Seinfeld told Netflix. “And then when the pandemic happened and we had nothing to do, he said, ‘Let’s really write this as a movie.’ ” With Unfrosted, that long-joked-about movie is now a reality.
Unfrosted is set in Michigan in 1963, the year before Pop-Tarts hit grocery store shelves and shocked young Jerry Seinfeld into a 60-year trajectory toward this very moment. “My first memory of Pop-Tarts is, once I tasted it, I assumed...

He’s saying he doesn’t like doing things for other people. Like, at all. He doesn’t want to drive you to the airport. He doesn’t want to let you crash at his place for a few weeks. He doesn’t want to do the things friends are expected to do simply because it helps someone they care about.

When Futurama premiered on Fox in March 1999, it did so almost a decade after Matt Groening had broken open the gates of modern mainstream TV animation with The Simpsons. The intervening 10 years had seen more mature animated fare on the small screen, from the edgy Ren and Stimpy to the cult favorite The Critic. Though The Critic was created by two longtime Simpsons writers (and led to a moderately controversial crossover between the two), Futurama marked Groening’s first new series since The Simpsons.

“Can we go someplace even more remote?”
I’m standing with Jerrod Carmichael in Austin, Texas, the morning of the SXSW premiere for the comedian and actor’s new HBO reality show, titled, appropriately, “Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show.” I’d chosen a quiet spot for the interview on the terrace outside his hotel, but when Carmichael clocks a few people within earshot, he starts to lead me as far away from prying eyes and ears as he can.
“I’m always just looking for corners to hang out in,” he says, as he scans his surroundings. “I live for a little corner.

Robert Downey Jr. may newly be wearing the title of Oscar winner, but the “Oppenheimer” star is shedding all semblance of self for Park Chan-wook’s “The Sympathizer.”
Downey is a chameleon in multiple roles for the HBO seven-episode limited series, co-showrun by Park and Don McKellar who both executive produce. “The Sympathizer” is based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name and is at once an espionage thriller and cross-culture satire about the struggles of a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy (Hoa Xuande) during the final days of the Vietnam War. As he starts his new life as a refugee in Los Angeles he learns that his spying days aren’t over.
“The Sympathizer” cast also includes Sandra Oh, Fred Nguyen Khan, Toan Le, Phanxine, Vy Le, Ky Duyen, Kieu Chinh, Duy Nguyen, and Alan Trong. The series is a co-production between A24 and HBO,...

Before embarking on a career in politics which led to him becoming a two-term Democratic senator for Minnesota, Al Franken was best-known for his two separate stints as a Saturday Night Live writer and cast member – 1975 to 1980 and again from 1985 to 1995.
Franken resigned from the Senate back in 2018 amid allegations of sexual misconduct, and now has a podcast, aptly named the Al Franken Podcast. He also recently kicked off a standup tour, An Evening of New Stand-up With Al Franken, which is making stops at City Winery locations across the country through the summer.
Franken spoke with Forbes about his new tour and addressed the current state of SNL’s Weekend Update segment, with which Franken was closely associated during his many years on the show.

If 25 years ago, producer Dick Wolf had stuck with the original subtitle of his first Law & Order spinoff, which was inspired by the prosecution of “Preppy Killer” Robert Chambers, this story may not have been written. After all, recommending a show subtitled Sex Crimes to your parents might have elicited a certain “ick” factor. Luckily, that wasn’t a problem when the drama, retitled Special Victims Unit, premiered on September 20, 1999. Most critics praised the show, even with its “squirm-inducing cases,” and over 14 million viewers tuned in and became regular watchers despite the “heinous” crimes on display, to quote the show’s weekly opening prologue. Svu won new fans in Season 3 when it deviated from the original Law & Order’s all-about-the-case content and delved into what made the unit’s detectives, as well as the criminals, tick. Admitting that the earliest episodes were “a bit too sensational,” Wolf hired...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Chicago P.D. Season 11 Episode 8 “On Paper.”] As we get closer and closer to the end of Chicago P.D. Season 11, we can’t help but try to track clues as to just how Detective Hailey Upton will be written out with Tracy Spiridakos‘ exit coming. The latest episode seemed to have done just that, focusing more than it has since the premiere on what Upton’s going through. At the beginning of the episode, Upton offered to stay with Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) and go through what they have on their ongoing serial killer case, but after turning that down, he asked if she was all good. “Yeah,” she said. “Really?” he asked. “You don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine. I’m figuring it out.” (It was to Voight that Upton shared that she was struggling in the premiere.) Then, when Upton had problems sleeping,...

For countless fans of the romantic comedy, Hugh Grant will always be just a boy standing in front of a girl. But speaking with IndieWire for his single-episode guest appearance as Ed Keplinger in HBO’s “The Regime,” the 63-year-old British actor seemed blissfully out of touch with the genre that launched his stardom.
When asked about Hollywood’s rom-com resurgence, Grant said, “I didn’t know there was one. What should I watch?”
Since the summer that brought us “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” and “Crazy Rich Asians,” movies about meet-cutes and star-crossed lovers have strengthened their foothold in streaming while taking leaps forward at the box office. IndieWire suggested Grant try anything with Glen Powell, a standout rom-com stud also known for “Top Gun: Maverick” who has been described as this generation’s Grant on occasion.

Jeopardy! has been experimenting with format tweaks over the past year, including contestant and puzzle board split screens and, more controversially, encouraging contestants to recite the entire category names. However, as many viewers have noticed during the currently airing Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, the show seems to have relaxed its rule that contestants must read out the whole category every time they select a clue. The game show’s executive producer, Michael Davies, confirmed this rule relaxation on a recent episode of Inside Jeopardy! podcast, where he admitted the change didn’t quite work as intended. “I dont think we’ve made a perfect change,” Davies said. “We had briefed the contestants to give full names of categories… and then people have commented on that.” “We’ve obviously gone back,” he continued. “If it’s a 12-word category, we’re not asking you to repeat all 12 words.

“Jon Stewart benefited by 829% ‘overvalue’ of his NYC home even as he labels Trump’s civil case ‘not victimless,’” read the headline in The New York Post Wednesday. And like so many stories about the politically polarizing Daily Show host, the Post story prompted social media outrage and countless re-writes from other (mostly conservative) outlets.
The gist of it is this: Jon Stewart took defenders of Donald Trump to task on Monday night’s Daily Show for arguing that when Trump inflated the value of his real estate assets to get better terms on loans and insurance it was “a victimless crime.”
Stewart’s contention was that “money isn’t isn’t infinite,” and when one person gets a loan because they lied, it means there’s less money available for loan seekers who give an honest valuation of their assets. Hence, not a victimless crime.

A Wheel of Fortune contestant overcame the odds on Wednesday night (March 27) in spite of a “dumb rule” costing her a big chunk of money and a trip early in the episode. Many fans were furious about what happened and felt she was cheated out of a big win. The contestant in question was Emma Wan, a recently engaged former half-marathon runner from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Wan got out to a hot start, picking up the Wildcard Wedge ahead of the Express Round, where she attempted to solve a seven-word “Phrase” puzzle. Wan answered the first part of the puzzle perfectly, but she took a pause in the middle before figuring out the rest. “Can’t See The Forest… Oh shoot,” she said before adding, “For The Trees.” Unfortunately for Wan, she wasn’t awarded the puzzle, as host Pat Sajak told her, “I’m getting a no from everybody,” referring to the producers’ decision.

[Editor’s note: Spoilers for “X-Men ’97” Episode 3 below.]
After its first two episodes, Marvel’s “X-Men ’97” (currently streaming on Disney+) had us hooked with that duplicate Jean Grey cliffhanger. It really is a successful continuation of the beloved “X-Men: The Animated Series” from the ’90s.
All was revealed in the trippy Episode 3 (“Fire Made Flesh”), which introduced nemesis Mr. Sinister, the genius Victorian geneticist, while revealing that the duplicate Jean Grey is the actual Jean Grey, while the first Jean Grey was none other than Madelyn Pryor (aka The Goblin Queen), Sinister’s infamous clone possessing the same psychic/telekinetic powers as the original.
Now things are really screwed up for the Cyclops and Grey married couple because Pryor is the actual mother of their newborn mutant son, Nathan, whom Sinister has sinister plans for as part of his world domination. That’s where the season’s most fantastical action sequence thus far comes in,...

The longest-running Star Trek series on Paramount+ is coming to an end with the upcoming fifth season. But of course as tends to be the case when any show ends (especially now), we have to wonder what the chances are of Discovery continuing in any way, whether it’s a revival, a movie, a spinoff, or characters appearing on another Trek show. TV Insider asked just that question when speaking with executive producer Alex Kurtzman ahead of Discovery‘s final episodes. “I think the chances are good,” the EP tells us, but when pressed if there have been any talks about anything, only says, “I’m not going to spoil anything for you.” Of course we immediately think of Mary Wiseman‘s Sylvie Tilly, who left the U.S.S.

Daytime star Jeanne Cooper didn’t hide the fact that she got a facelift in 1984. She couldn’t, since footage from the procedure aired on The Young and the Restless 40 years ago, on March 28 of that year. Cooper, who played Katherine Chancellor on the CBS soap from 1974 until just before her death in 2013, said on The Talk in 2012 that the procedure was her idea. “I walked by a mirror one day and scared the hell out of myself,” she quipped (per HuffPost). “Everything that happened in that storyline was first-hand. And you saw everything as I saw it.” In a 2009 Television Academy interview, Cooper said that when she asked The Young and the Restless co-creator Bill Bell for time off to recover from her facelift, he thought that art could imitate life. “He came down to the dressing room one day, and he said, ‘Jeanne, how would you feel about...
