‘Dare’ (2009): Emmy Rossum, Zach Gilford, and Ashley Springer Star in ‘Challengers’ for Theater Kids
On Friday nights, IndieWire After Dark takes a feature-length beat to honor fringe cinema in the streaming age.
First, the spoiler-free pitch for one editor’s midnight movie pick — something weird and wonderful from any age of film that deserves our memorializing.
Then, the spoiler-filled aftermath as experienced by the unwitting editor attacked by this week’s recommendation.
The Pitch: Discovering the Power of a Dick… Ahead of Its Time
Non-monogamy became a common topic of conversation this spring as Luca Guadagnino’s “Challengers” made any mention of pro tennis the conversational equivalent of a three-way sex invite.
On dating apps, searches for “open relationships” continued to rise in popularity just as reality television embraced multi-partnered dynamics through shows like Peacock’s “Couple to Throuple.” Even in 2024, polyamory isn’t outright “mainstream” by any stretch of the imagination(s).

Access Hollywood host Scott Evans, who also helms the Peacock reality series Couple to Throuple, is set to make his soap opera debut this week on an episode of Days of our Lives. According to MichaelFairmanTV, Evans will appear on the Thursday, March 21, episode in a currently unspecified role. According to the teasers, the episode will see Leo (Greg Rikaart) coming up with his next gossip column while Paulina (Jackée Harry) and Abe (James Reynolds) return home to a mini-celebration hosted by Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Steve (Stephen Nichols).

With or without a renewal, “Couple to Throuple” isn’t ending. Not really.
Peacock’s reality dating show for the poly-curious concluded its inaugural “experiment” this week — with its unconventional cast wrapping up their first attempts at non-monogamy in an emotional Season 1 finale that debuted Thursday, February 29.
Following 10 weeks of chaotic “third” swapping at an idyllic resort in Panama City, the starring couples and the sexy singles they dated made only the vaguest plans for their post-show futures. Instead, the subjects spent most of the episode better defining their relationship goals and tearily saying goodbye to their myriad exes. Per the obligatory where-are-they-now epilogue, just one triad was still romantically involved come showtime.
That might feel like the final resting place for a freshman series in a sea of shows stuck in development limbo. (NBC has yet to comment on the future production plans for “Couple to Throuple.”) But when...

Does the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press tour still hold value?
That topic was a frequent debate at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, California, where the TCA winter press tour wrapped Thursday after two weeks and a dizzying number of panels featuring stars, producers and the occasional executive.
TCA can still bring out the big stars (Apple had Michael Douglas, Hulu delivered Jon Bon Jovi, and Annette Bening and Snoop Dogg were highlights at NBCU) but the real value — aside from showcasing programming to a shrinking press corps that has been overwhelmed by Peak TV — comes from executive sessions that can help lay out a platform strategy that many will cover for months on end.
Before we get into the biggest takeaways from TCA, allow us to make an appeal to Netflix, Amazon, Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global to return to press tour. Yes, we know it’s...

The unscripted business has had a somewhat tumultuous twelve months but things have been picking up in 2024 with a number of network and streamer commissions and renewals.
NBC’s unscripted bosses Corie Henson and Rachel Smith weighed in on the state of the unscripted universe during a TCA panel.
Henson, who is EVP, Entertainment Unscripted Content and looks after NBC and Peacock’s competition shows and entertainment formats, said she was proud of picking up The Traitors for a third season, midway through its second season, and has Love Island USA returning for season 6 this summer.
“As a snapshot of where we are on the format side, we are open, we are buying. We are encouraging people to come in with their big ideas,” she said.
Henson said this applied to international formats such as Traitors, which is based on a Dutch format and went on to become Peacock’s most-watched reality series,...

Though many might claim the world of reality dating has tried it all — a spectrum from love at first sight to love at no sight at all — producers at Peacock’s Couple to Throuple still have something new to bring to the table.
“We noticed we were getting more and more applications where people weren’t necessarily looking for one singular person, or had different ideas around what a relationship could be,” executive producer Tom O’Brien tells The Hollywood Reporter. As the managing director at Naked, a Fremantle label, O’Brien and his team cast for a range of reality dating series.
In pursuit of a show that could give these outside-the-box submissions a home, he and the rest of Naked developed Peacock’s exploration of ethical non-monogamy, Couple to Throuple.
