The show went into production in Port Hope, Ontario at the end of last year, aiming for a 2025 premiere, and wrapped in August after 237 shooting days. We’re still waiting to hear exactly when the nine episode first season is going to start airing – but yesterday, we learned that the plan is for the show to run for three seasons, with the story going further into the past each season. That information came from executive producer Andy Muschietti, who directed the two It feature films, and he has also revealed just how involved Stephen King is with this show.

The It: Welcome to Derry creator reveals the show's multiple-season plan and some key elements. Set in the world of the classic Maine town overtaken by Pennywise in the novel, It: Welcome to Derry is a prequel TV series set in the 1960s. It follows the eerie series of events that lead up to what viewers know from the classic King novel and movie adaptations. It: Welcome to Derry will see Bill Skarsgård reprise his role of Pennywise in a cast that includes Jovan Adepo, Taylour Paige, James Remar, and Kimberly Guerrero.

Speaking with Radio Tu (via Bloody Disgusting), It: Welcome to Derry creator Andy Muschietti reveals that It: Welcome to Derry has a three-season plan.

The creator says that the series will be "based on the interludes of the book" that show character Mike Hanlon's research.

Nosferatu star Bill Skarsgård is set to star alongside Stranger Things actor Dacre Montogomery in a new film from director Gus Van Sant.

Per Deadline, Skarsgård and Montgomery will star in Dead Man's Wire, a hostage thriller directed by Van Sant. The film is reportedly based on a true story and is centered around "a former real estate developer who takes the mortgage banker who did him wrong hostage, demanding $5 million and a personal apology." Van Sant, known for films such as Good Will Hunting and My Own Private Idaho, hasn't directed a feature since 2018's Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot, an adaptation of cartoonist John's Callahan's memoir of the same name.

During a recent interview with SFX Magazine, Skarsgård revealed what it was like reprising the fan-favorite villain again, after five years since It Chapter Two made its theatrical debut. He explained that it was kind of weird to be working with the same people he worked with during the It movies. “It was strange to be back. [Producers] Andy and Barbara Muschietti were doing the show, and I adore them. Most of the crew was the same people that did the movies. So it was this weird thing of going back to this gang of people that you created this thing with.”

This article contains spoilers for Outer Range season 2.

Many shows in TV history have lived and died by their mysterious nature. Ongoing storylines in classics such as The X-Files, Lost, and Fringe had fans theorizing about main characters’ fates, the creative team’s intentions, or the deeper meaning of it all. Recently, shows such as From, Severance, and Yellowjackets have the same kind of devout following, and the same overarching enigmas that keep audiences coming back for answers.

When looking back at Outer Range’s first season, it’s easy to understand why the show was picked up for a second, and why the show had to come back – to unravel some of those riddles that season one left behind. While the sophomore season might have created more questions than answers, at least some of the puzzles have been solved. But don’t worry, if you’re still feeling out of the loop,...

Prime Video has set a return date for Outer Range Season 2. Season 2 comes from showrunner and executive producer Charles Murray, with all 7 episodes dropping on Thursday, May 16.

Dubbed one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, Seinfeld is a classic fixture of '90s television — however, there are some harsh realities of watching Seinfeld now. Co-created by writer Larry David and comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who also stars as a version of himself, the long-running "show about nothing" has plenty of enduring episodes, characters, and lines. Looking back, though, some moments — or general attitudes perpetuated by the gang — are cringe-worthy at best and downright offensive at worst.

A rejection of sentimental, wholesome sitcoms, Seinfeld knowingly centers on characters who are awful (and sometimes awfully relatable) people. Jerry (Seinfeld) and his pals — best buddy George Costanza (Jason Alexander), ex-turned-friend Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and bizarre neighbor Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards) — are often in the wrong. At times, that makes for great comedy, but sometimes, that premise falls apart, making certain scenes (or episodes) difficult to watch.

For decades, American Indigenous and Native communities were represented by two prominent characters in mainstream studio animation: Pocahontas and Tiger Lily. With Spirit Rangers, creator Karissa Valencia is changing that.

“We wanted to redo a lot of that in terms of source material,” the Chumash and Mexican creator tells The Hollywood Reporter of the inspirations for historical representations of Indigenous peoples in animation. “We were doing our homework, our research. We were not just basing it off of what we did a Google search on.”

From Netflix Animation, Laughing Wild and SuperProd Animation, the series follows Kodi, Summer and Eddy Skycedar, three siblings whose blended Chumash and Cowlitz family work as rangers in the fictional Xus National Park in California. While the adults monitor the park during the day, the siblings solve various problems by activating beaded necklaces that portal them to the magical dimension of Spirit Park. Once there,...

There's almost always a market for gritty westerns, but there's been a bounty of well-made, pitch-black tales of the American west lately. Joining the ranks of shows like "1883" and films like the Academy Award-winning "Power of the Dog" is "The English," a new Prime Video and BBC limited series from writer and director Hugo Blick about romance and revenge on the lawless prairie.

Emily Blunt stars as Lady Cornelia Locke, an Englishwoman of some means who arrives in Kansas looking for vengeance when the violent chaos of the plains throws a massive wrench in her plans. Her fate seems to be intertwined with a Pawnee ex-calvary scout named Eli Whipp (Chaske Spencer), who is on his own journey of bloody revenge and redemption. There's more going on — a whole lot more — but the primary drive of the story is Cornelia and Eli's fiery chemistry and their shared goals.

The dialogue is tightly written,...

What right does the BBC have, making a lavish six-part western? The BBC – which is all about stuffy, bonneted period dramas and documentaries where a nonagenarian cavorts with chimpanzees – tackling the quintessence of American culture? And, to add to the impertinence, calling it The English? Well, that’s the situation we arrive at with Hugo Blick’s BBC Two drama (co-produced with Amazon), which arrives on our screen with a thunder of hooves.

Emily Blunt is Cornelia Locke, an Englishwoman whose father owns “half of Devon”. She’s journeying through the heart of America on an unarticulated voyage of revenge. It’s there that she encounters Eli Whipp (Chaske Spencer), trussed up and beaten to a pulp. A Pawnee-born ex-us army officer, Whipp wants to claim a slide of American land, as is his veteran’s right. “Smoke dreams for the fireside,” dismisses a fellow soldier. Fate throws Eli and Cornelia together,...

In the final days of 2014, my wife and I both came down with a nasty case of the flu. Unable to do much but alternately shiver and sweat in bed together, we attempted to distract ourselves with a miniseries I had heard good things about earlier in the year: The Honourable Woman. Written and directed by Hugo Blick, the thriller starred Maggie Gyllenhaal as an Anglo-Jewish businesswoman caught up in a web of intrigue that involved, among other things, a kidnapping, Israeli intelligence officers, and, I think, fiber optic cables?...

A prodigal returns in Montana Story but this drama is one that skips the more familiar approach to explore a more interesting road less traveled. Long estranged siblings reunite against the dramatic backdrop of the windswept Montana landscape, when a young woman unexpectedly returns to the ranch home she left seven years earlier, to visit her dying, comatose father, to the surprise of her younger brother who remained and is struggling to handle their father’s final affairs. In the contemporary Western drama Montana Story, Haley Lu Richardson and Owen Teague play the sister and brother, who work through their feelings about their difficult father and their own past history, as they deal with the financially grim situation their dying parent leaves behind. Richardson and Teague create a realistic relationship between the siblings, which draws us in...
