The Office reboot is in the works for the show's new home of Peacock, and the exciting continuation is finally taking shape after years of speculation. Despite ending in 2013, The Office found a resurgence of popularity after the series began streaming on Netflix. As one of Netflix's most-watched titles, the streamer took a hit when the rights reverted to NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock. With the sitcom still fresh on viewers' minds, the notion of a reboot remains a topic of discussion.
Based on the UK series of the same name, Greg Daniels created The Office in 2005 when it debuted on NBC. With the mockumentary format and wide variety of characters led by inept manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell), The Office found its footing in season 2. It then became a bona fide hit for the network throughout its nine-season run before coming to an end in 2013. Talk of a revival...

“There’s gotta be more milk”: Antony Starr is the Reason Why Homelander Has One Weakness in The Boys
It’s not that uncommon to see superheroes devouring milk, is it? Or maybe it’s just a Homelander thing. If it sounds bizarre then it’s surely just confined to Antony Starr’s The Boys character. Well, being a superhero figure, there’s nothing wrong with a healthy dose of calcium.
Antony Starr as Homelander in The Boys | Amazon Prime Video
But certainly, Homelander’s penchant for milk is somewhat odd. It seems his strange obsession hints at a deeper psychological need, while Antony Starr reveals how it all started. Stating how one scene with milk led to another, Starr claimed to be the reason behind Homelander’s weakness. Eventually, audiences were served with the most disturbing scene with Firecracker in S4 E6.

Spoilers for "The Boys" season 4 ahead.
It's well-established on "The Boys" by now that Homelander (Antony Starr) was raised like a lab rat. As a test tube baby created by the Vought International corporation to be the world's greatest superhero, he grew up around scientists who were cold and terrified of him. To test the limits of his power, he had to endure torturous "exams" like being set on fire and or having a drill pressed against his head. Both Homelander's powers and his evil are the result of nurture, not nature.
His longing for love is why Homelander lets Vought execs like Madelyn Stillwell (Elisabeth Shue) and Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Epositio) wield power over him, and why when Homelander met his biological father, Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), he approached like a simpering puppy. It's also the reason that Homelander wants to be involved in the life of his own son,...

Take a dip in the murky waters of supernatural horror with Night Swim! Director Bryce McGuire makes a splash in his feature directorial debut, turning a suburban backyard into a supernatural battleground. The film, swimming upstream against the frigid release waters of January, stars Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon as parents grappling with more than just adjusting to a new home, uncovering the aquatic enigma of a potentially haunted pool. For someone like me, who spent childhood summers playing Marco Polo and avoiding sewer gators in the shadowy depths at night, Night Swim hits close to home.

You know might feel really great, and completely relaxing, after surviving the often stressful end-of-the-year holidays? Why a refreshing dip in the pool of course! Oh, but you’re not near an indoor facility, so you’ll have to wait out the long frigid winter until the temps are near ninety or so. Well, how about making a virtual splash at the multiplex? And this “cement pond” doesn’t shut down with the sunset. But doing “laps” alone in the fluorescent lit waters can be pretty spooky. And that’s the inspiration for the first new horror flick of 2024, which may just make you “swear off” any notions about taking a Night Swim. Marco…Marco…
This tale of soggy terror begins with a flashback to the early 1990s. Late one night a girl of eight or nine spies her ailing brother’s motorboat doing circles in the deep end of the family pool.

Critics largely have negative opinions on the horror movie Night Swim, comparing it unfavorably to the prior success of M3GAN. The cast of Night Swim receives more praise than the movie itself, with Wyatt Russell being called a "magnetic actor." Opinions on the scariness of Night Swim are split, with some considering it genuinely terrifying while others find it lacking as a horror movie.
Reviews are in for the new horror movie Night Swim. Written and directed by Bryce McGuire based on his 2014 short film of the same name, it stars Wyatt Russell, Kerry Condon, Amélie Hoeferle, and Gavin Warren as the Wallers, a family that moves into a new home with a haunted pool. Its release comes almost exactly one year after the debut of the viral horror mega-hit M3GAN and features that movie's producers James Wan and Jason Blum re-teaming behind the camera.

January is here. That’s the time when studios will traditionally and unceremoniously dump movies in which they don’t have a lot of confidence. That usually includes a lot of horror movies. But last year, January gave us such well-received offerings as M3GAN, Knock at the Cabin, and Skinamarink. So, what does this January have in store for us? We shall see.

Expanding a horror short to feature length is tricky work, particularly when the short in question gets straight to the scares. Writer/Director Bryce McGuire’s 2014 short Night Swim, a collaboration with Rod Blackhurst, cut straight to the horror to exploit everyone’s worst fears about swimming pools. Almost a full decade later, McGuire’s feature expansion showcases more ways to mine terror from the aquatic concept, buoyed by a great cast, but a familiar formula and simplified mythology threaten to sink it all.
After a cold open demonstrates the dangers of the film’s haunted location, a seemingly benign anywhere America backyard pool, Night Swim introduces the ill-fated family destined to discover the supernatural treachery awaiting them. The Waller family are at the beginning of a new chapter in their lives; a recent degenerative illness diagnosis cut a professional baseball career short for dad Ray Waller (Wyatt Russell). As...

Night Swim is a horror film that focuses more on family drama than actual scares, which may disappoint horror fans. The film utilizes horror elements to explore the characters' insecurities, but lacks imagination and fails to deliver intense scares. Despite its weak horror elements, Night Swim shines in its solid script and committed cast, providing engaging family drama with nuanced themes.
Written and directed by Bryce McGuire, Night Swim takes an intriguing premise and turns it into something a bit more tame. There is much to be mined from using water as a source of terror, but Blumhouse’s latest is less of a horror and more of a family drama. There are layers to the story, which makes the film a gripping watch on its own, but you’ll be sorely disappointed in the lack of genuine and chilling scares if you’re a massive horror fan.

Director Bryce McGuire drew inspiration from his childhood fear of swimming pools for the horror film Night Swim. Night Swim follows the Waller family as they discover their haunted swimming pool and the demonic entity lurking within. The film will have to rely on an unsettling atmosphere and creepy visuals rather than blood and gore to create terror.
Night Swim director Bryce McGuire has revealed his childhood inspiration for the upcoming horror film about a haunted pool. The movie is based on the director's 2014 short film of the same name, which depicted the same concept in a terrifying 4-minute video. Now, Blumhouse has helped turn the short into a feature film expanding on the original's premise.

If broadcast Pilot Season is any indicator, the Peak TV numbers are in for a rude awakening.
A decade ago, ABC, CBS, The CW, Fox and NBC collectively ordered an eye-popping 98 comedies and dramas during Pilot Season 2013. That figure, the most since THR began tracking overall volume in 2012, is now considered a relic of the past.
With the Covid-19 pandemic effectively wiping out Pilot Season 2020, the networks were forced to lean into the year-round programming strategy many had discussed but hadn’t really executed. Now, the shift is in full swing as the overall volume of pilots ordered across the five networks is likely to hit another low after they collectively picked up 35 comedies and dramas last season.
What’s more, the economic downturn has also prompted broadcasters to be more selective in how many scripts they buy and which among those will actually get made. Network executives — including new presidents at CBS,...

TBS has opted not give a third-season renewal to its summer series People of Earth, the network’s supernatural-tinged comedy. Creator David Jenkins tipped the news last night on Twitter, and the move comes after the network had initially renewed it in the fall along with fellow summer series Wrecked and The Guest Book.
