The premise for the 2001 documentary series "Project Greenlight" was novel and fascinating. Prior to production, the showrunners (including longtime friends and frequent collaborators Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) solicited scripts from untested filmmakers and ambitious film students, holding a contest as to which one was the best and could be the most easily produced. Damon and Affleck received over 7,000 scripts before eventually winnowing them down to one, titled "Stolen Summer," written by Pete Jones. Jones then swiftly and, with the producers' aid, made "Stolen Summer" into a feature film. "Project Greenlight," over the course of its 12 episodes, detailed the making of "Stolen Summer" from the script selection to the final product. Jones' movie was produced for only $1.8 million, although it was not a box office success.

"Project Greenlight," which aired on HBO, was meant to encourage independent voices in cinema and continue the 1990s trend of low-budget, indie films regularly catching nationwide attention.

With a new group of housewives moving into Wisteria Lane, Kyle MacLachlan is open to returning to the neighborhood.

The Desperate Housewives alum recently said he would potentially reprise his role as deadbeat husband Orson Hodge or “something completely new” in a reboot of the Marc Cherry comedy-drama, which ran for eight seasons on ABC from 2004 to 2012.

“That’d be fun,” MacLachlan told People. “I mean, Wisteria Lane still exists on the Universal back lot. It’s part of the tour!”

MacLachlan debuted as Bree’s (Marcia Cross) love interest and eventual second husband Orson toward the end of Season 2 in 2006, becoming a key character in Season 3 regarding the mystery of his first wife’s disappearance.

“If for Desperate Housewives, if that were to come back — […] and if they would even want me to come back — I’d have to look at the role and kind of get a sense...

It helps for new television shows to hook an audience right out of the gate with their first season, but there are plenty of cases in which that inaugural period is needed to work out some kinks and find an identity. When it comes to NBC sitcoms, shows like "Parks and Recreation" and the American remake of "The Office" had a slow start, only to find its cultural footing in the following season. The same can be said for "Seinfeld," which has gone on to become one of the greatest sitcoms ever made.

Pitched as a show about how a comedian gets their material, series creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld only expanded the scope of this amount of comedic potential with each passing year. By the fourth season, "Seinfeld" was a prime water-cooler phenomenon that you simply had to be caught up on, with many of its jokes being introduced into the cultural lexicon.

With some new housewives moving onto one of TV’s most famous streets, Felicity Huffman is welcoming them to the neighborhood.

The Oscar nominee, who portrayed Lynette Scavo on ABC‘s Desperate Housewives, recently reacted to news of Kerry Washington‘s Onyx Collective offshoot Wisteria Lane, which Deadline exclusively announced last month.

“Isn’t that great? They’re gonna do Wisteria Lane with women of color, and I am all for it,” she said on Good Morning America, before joking: “I am gonna do craft service for it. But I just think it’s wonderful, and I’m a huge fan of Kerry’s.”

Huffman had no suggestions on who should take over her role as Lynette, an overworked stay-at-home mother of five children who longs for the workplace and eventually struggles cancer during the show’s eight-season run from 2004 to 2012.

“Oh my god, I have no idea,” said Huffman.

Desperate Housewives put some of our favorite television leading ladies all together on Wisteria Lane. And now Kerry Washington's production company is bringing us a new show about the iconic cul-de-sac. Washington's production company is working with 20th Television under Onyx Collective to bring us Wisteria Lane. The series will be written by Natalie Chaidez. Now, Washington, who is promoting her new movie, Shadow Force,is talking about what the series will bring for fans of the original show.

Desperate Housewives was created by Marc Cherryand ran from 2004 to 2012, bringing us into the lives of the women of Wisteria Lane. The original series starred Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, and Nicollette Sheridan. It was messy, thrilling, and became a classic among fans. And Washington promises that her take on the show is going to be an exciting addition to the world of Wisteria Lane. "It's...

According to Deadline, a reboot of Desperate Housewives is currently in development at Onyx Collective, with 20th Television in partnership with Kerry Washington’s production company, Simpson Street. Dubbed Wisteria Lane, the project is described as a “reimagining” of the original series, which ran for eight seasons on ABC from 2004 to 2012.

Wisteria Lane is a “fun, sexy, darkly comedic soap/mystery in the vein of Desperate Housewives, set among a group of five very different friends and sometimes frenemies who all live on a picture-perfect cul de sac called Wisteria Lane. On the surface, all the Wisteria neighbors are living the dream: beautiful homes, gorgeous families, shiny SUVs in the driveway. But behind those white-picket fences and smiling Insta posts are Secrets.“

Natalie Chaidez (The Flight Attendant) is attached as writer. Although original series creator Marc Cherry is not part of the initial pitch, sources told Deadline that he could...

The mystery-drama comedy Desperate Housewives ran for eight seasons on ABC from 2004 until 2012, but it continued to have a loyal fandom even after its ending. That's why the series is now getting a spin-off.

The dramedy series was set on Wisteria Lane, a street in the fictional town of Fairview in the fictional Eagle State. Desperate Housewives followed the lives of four women, covering their lives across fifteen years. Deadline reveals that the new offshoot series will be titled Wisteria Lane, and will welcome new residents on the same street.

The new spin-off series is a reimagining of the ABC hit, and is in development at Onyx Collective. The upcoming Wisteria Lane comes from Scandal's Kerry Washington's Simpson Street, and 20th Television. Desperate Housewives creator/executive producer Marc Cherry is not involved in the pitch, but might be involved in the series in the future.

Wisteria Lane will...

Disney’s Onyx Collective is looking to put a new spin on one of the most famous locales of early 2000s TV.

Onyx is developing Wisteria Lane, a spinoff/reimagining of ABC’s 2004-12 hit Desperate Housewives. The project comes from writer/executive producer Natalie Chaidez (The Flight Attendant, Queen of the South) and EP Kerry Washington. Should it go forward, Wisteria Lane would stream on Hulu alongside Onyx Collective’s other shows.

Like Desperate Housewives, Wisteria Lane will focus on a group of friends living on a seemingly picture-perfect cul de sac whose facade hides a boatload of secrets. Marc Cherry, who created Desperate Housewives, is not currently involved in the new project (though he has spoken about his own spinoff ideas in the past) but sources say he could come aboard in the future.

Desperate Housewives is one of the biggest shows of the past decades.

The series centers around Wisteria Lane in the fictional town of Fairview, and follows the lives of a group of women as seen through the eyes of their friend and neighbor who committed suicide in the first episode. It first premiered on ABC in 2004 and ran for eight seasons to 2012.

The cast includes Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria, Brenda Strong, Dana Delany, Nicolette Sheridan, and Vanessa Williams.

The series was also a critical darling, winning six Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and the stars of the show also went on to enjoy very successful careers, amassing a significant amount of money ever since.

Netflix is welcoming you to the family business.

In the trailer for the new series Running Point released Thursday, Kate Hudson stars as Isla Gordon, the new appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball franchise. Being thrown into the job after a scandal forces her brother (Justin Theroux) to resign, Hudson’s Isla has to work on proving her skeptical family, the board and sports community that she is adept for the job.

“I work in a family business for the greatest basketball franchise in the history of the game, the Los Angeles Waves. And this is the story of the fucked-up family that runs it,” Hudson can be overheard saying in the trailer.

Amy Adams' 2024 horror-comedy movie is about to have its streaming debut. Adams' first major role was in Steven Spielberg's 2002 movie Catch Me If You Can as Brenda Strong, a naive hospital nurse that Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) falls in love with, although the relationship is ultimately doomed. More recognition, including Adams' first Academy Award nomination, followed her performance in the 2005 comedy-drama Junebug. In the 2007 musical movie Enchanted, Adams cemented herself as a leading actor through her portrayal of Giselle.

Many of the projects considered Amy Adams' best movies would come in the years that followed, including the science-fiction drama Arrival directed by Denis Villeneuve. Between playing Amelia Earhart in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Lois Lane in the DC Extended Universe, and Sister James in the drama Doubt, Adams proved to be an actor who could excel in any genre. She also made her mark...

Amy Adams has revealed one of her regrets while filming Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated movie Catch Me If You Can. One of her scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio ended up proving to be quite difficult for the young actress to film.

Adams recently spoke about filming the Steven Spielberg flick while being interviewed by Vanity Fair. During the segment, she re-watched clips from her movies, and she spoke about her role in the film as Brenda Strong, the hospital nurse who falls in love with Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio). While filming a scene where Frank and Brenda share a touching moment together, Adams felt like she was holding up filming by laughing at an on-set snafu.

His followers will hear about this.

"There's this beautiful moment. He's climbed out the window...we're making plans.

Amy Adams held up filming Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated movie because of one Leonardo DiCaprio moment that kept making her laugh, saying, "That was my one regret." Adams is a six-time Oscar-nominated actress for her performances in Junebug, Doubt, The Fighter, The Master, American Hustle, and Vice. During much of this time, she was also playing Lois Lane in the Dceu. Today, Adams is one of the most accomplished actresses, having earned numerous accolades, which also include two Golden Globes and two Emmy nominations.

The actress made her film debut with a supporting role in the 1999 dark comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous and afterward, she began taking on multiple "mean girl" roles in low-budget movies. Amy Adams' first major role came in a Steven Spielberg movie from 2002 alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, though she faced a year of unemployment afterward. Her big breakthrough didn't come until a few years later in the 2005 indie dramedy Junebug,...

Viewers could return to the famous Wisteria Lane. Series creator Marc Cherry has thoughts about rebooting Desperate Housewives, but his idea would not include the original cast.

Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria Parker, Ricardo Chavira, Nicollette Sheridan, Brenda Strong, Doug Savant, and James Denton star in the Desperate Housewives series, which premiered in 2004 and aired for eight seasons on ABC. The story follows the antics of the residents of a seemingly idyllic suburban street.

A trip back to Wisteria Lane might be in the cards if creator Marc Cherry has his way. Fresh off the series celebrating its 20th anniversary last month, the Desperate Housewives creator is revealing that he would love to revisit the series, but he would want to do it during a completely different era and to be able to write a very specific character again.

During a chat with People, Cherry revealed that he would love to do a Desperate Housewives prequel series set in the '60s. The Emmy-nominated showrunner said, "I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade. Because the character I miss writing the most is Wisteria Lane. That was the most fun playground anyone in the history of television has ever had, because we owned the whole street."

Desperate Housewives ran from 2004 to 2012, and it was pretty popular throughout much of its run,...

“Desperate Housewives” creator Marc Cherry is open to exploring a different era of Wisteria Lane.

In a recent interview with People magazine, Cherry pitched his idea for a prequel to the hit ABC series starring Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria.

“I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade,” Cherry told the publication. “Because the character I miss writing the most is actually Wisteria Lane. That was the most fun playground anyone in the history of television has ever had, because we owned the whole street. I know that street like the back of my hand. When someone shoots a commercial on that street, I know it instantly, because I know all those houses, I know the geography. It was such a fun place to write for. And there’s times when I go, ‘You know what? I wonder if I could write Wisteria Lane in like,...

Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry says there are more than enough ideas for a spinoff of his beloved show — and he has a few ideas on how to make it happen.

“I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade,” Cherry — who guesses he’s had “about 70,000 people” ask him to do a reboot of the series — told People. “Because the character I miss writing the most is actually Wisteria Lane. That was the most fun playground anyone in the history of television has ever had, because we owned the whole street.”

ABC’s Desperate Housewives ran for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012, and won multiple Emmys. The show’s ensemble cast included Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria, and told the stories of Wisteria Lane, a street in the fictional town of Fairview, in fictional Eagle State.

It's time to reopen that box of secrets down in Wisteria Lane as, after 20 years, the show's creator, Marc Cherry is ready to return to the drama-filled cul-de-sac. The Desperate Housewives creator and showrunner recently teased the possibility of a prequel series, revisiting the iconic setting from the long-running ABC hit in an earlier decade. Desperate Housewives became a cultural phenomenon during its eight-season run from 2004 to 2012. Starring Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, and Nicollette Sheridan, the series followed the women of Wisteria Lane as they, well, behaved atrociously to get what they wanted, killing, stealing and doing all sorts in the wake of the mysterious suicide of their neighbor, Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong). And it was delightfully watchable trash.

After 20 years, Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry is ready to return to the Wisteria Lane of another era.

Following the hit ABC series’ milestone anniversary last month, the 2x Emmy-nominated EP and showrunner recently shared his vision for a reboot of Desperate Housewives, which ran for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012.

“I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade. Because the character I miss writing the most is actually Wisteria Lane,” he told People. “That was the most fun playground anyone in the history of television has ever had, because we owned the whole street.

During his career, the late Philip Baker Hall was one of the most underrated character actors in Hollywood. Hall's earliest on-screen role came back in 1970, but he gained praise for several "breakout" roles later in life, including an outstanding late-'90s streak that included "Boogie Nights," "Magnolia," and "The Talented Mr. Ripley." By the time of his passing in 2022, everyone seemed to know Hall's great work, even if he wasn't a household name. But according to Hall himself, the world first got to know him by another name that stuck with him for decades: Lieutenant Bookman from "Seinfeld."

Lieutenant Bookman was one of many idiosyncratic characters who stepped through the comedic revolving door that was "Seinfeld." The character, played by Hall, appeared in just two episodes of the hyper-popular sitcom -- season 3's "The Library" and the show's polarizing series finale -- but he made a strong impression. "It's been...

Unprisoned star Kerry Washington says the Hulu series has been canceled after season two.

“Ladies & Gents, that is a wrap on Unprisoned. This beautiful show that we poured so much of our hearts and souls into is unfortunately not coming back for a Season 3,” Washington said on X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram on Friday.

“But I wanted you to hear it from me because while we’re super duper disappointed, we’re also crazy deeply grateful,” she added.

Washington and Delroy Lindo starred in UnPrisoned, a Hulu father-daughter dramedy based on the life of creator Tracy McMillan.

Unprisoned draws from McMillan’s lived experience growing up in the foster care system as her father, Harold, ultimately, spent a total of 37 years incarcerated.

Linda Gray wants to transform Southfork Ranch and produce a holiday movie for Dallas fans. The actress who played Sue Ellen Ewing is executive producing a holiday movie that will give her one more chance to revisit this special place. Most of all, she wants to also star in this movie along with one of her former castmates.

Here are all the details.

Used with permission by Lifetime Linda Gray Is Executive Producer Of Dallas-Inspired Holiday Movie

On Friday, Michael Fairman TV reported that “Dallas star Linda Gray signs on as executive producer of a proposed holiday-themed TV movie to shoot at Southfork.” The insider reports that Gray wants to return to Southfork to film a movie “with a major twist.” Describing this as a love letter” to the fans of the evening soap, this is a “lighthearted Christmas comedy.”

Co-starring with her would “potentially” be Patrick Duffy, who portrayed Bobby Ewing.

The Desperate Housewives ending wraps up eight seasons of mysteries in the picture-perfect suburban neighborhood, Wisteria Lane, and the ending answers big questions about what happens to main characters Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross), and Gabrielle "Gaby" Solis (Eva Longoria). Although Mary Alice Young's (Brenda Strong) friends have many happy times together, it was clear that the conclusion would be just as emotional as the rest of the series, as most episodes focus on the intense personal lives of the four main residents of this seemingly peaceful street in the small town of Fairview.

There are several mysteries in every season, from why Paul Young (Mark Moses) comes back home after a decade away to what Angie Bolen (Drea de Matteo) is hiding from. The best shows like Desperate Housewives have series finales that are gripping, memorable, and wrap up every major storyline,...

Exclusive: Tre Hale (Platonic), Baron Vaughn (Grace and Frankie), Vivian Bang (White Rabbit) and Rhys Darby (Our Flag Means Death) have wrapped in Oregon on Song of the Bigfoot, an indie dramedy written and directed by Brent Bishop, in his feature debut, in which they play lead roles.

Others in the cast include Brenda Strong (Desperate Housewives) and newcomer Emily McEnroe (Ryan Murphy’s Monsters).

The film is described as an uplifting tale about three lovably quirky Bigfoot seekers who become desperately lost in the wilderness and are thrust into a life-and-death ordeal. They soon realize they’ve also been lost in life, and must not only save themselves, but commit to a life worth saving. Clinging to the wisdom of their Bigfoot Society’s eccentric, long-lost founder (Darby), and the guidance of its current matriarch (Strong), the trio wrestle with past traumas, personal demons, and lost...

[This story contains spoilers from season two, episode five of UnPrisoned.]

In season two of UnPrisoned, Paige (Kerry Washington) and Edwin (Delroy Lindo) mending the wounds of their still-shaky father-daughter relationship takes a backseat to their concerns about Finn (Faly Rakotohavana) and how being the son of a mother whose father was incarcerated for most of her life —and who has had no relationship with his own biological father — has affected him.

“I think that maybe the perception last year was that it was a show about a single woman whose father had spent the bulk of her life in prison, and a lot of the narrative did fuel that. But it is a show about a woman, her father and his grandson,” showrunner Yvette Lee Bowser tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It is a multi-generational family, and we have a multi-generational story.”

With that comes the possibility of generational curses, the fear of which prompts Paige to not only let...

UnPrisoned is back for a second season of shenanigans, humor, heartfelt moments and more. The Hulu and Onyx Collective series debuted in March 2023 with eight episodes and high ratings for an Onyx Collective premiere.

Based on the life of creator Tracy McMillan, the series follows Paige Alexander (Kerry Washington) as she welcomes her dad Edwin (Delroy Lindo) back into her life after his release from 17 years in prison for dealing drugs. The last season began on Edwin’s release day, and the story continued because Paige decided to let him live with her and her teenage son Finneas (Faly Rakotohavana).

Paige’s inner child (Jordyn McIntosh) also helps her through tough spots in her present life.

For those who need a recap of UnPrisoned Season 1, here’s what to remember:

Comedy isn’t the first genre most would assign a show about a man getting out of federal prison and reuniting with his family after serving decades behind bars. But humor is the instinctive approach UnPrisoned creator and writer Tracy McMillan took for the Hulu series, which draws from her lived experience growing up in the foster care system as her father, Harold, ultimately, spent a total of 37 years incarcerated.

“Every person who has ever been arrested or who is in prison is surrounded by people who love them — or not — but that impacts way more than just that one person,” McMillan tells The Hollywood Reporter. “The goal was to make it safe to talk about this in a way. Because if it’s happening this much but no one’s talking about it, then how can I reduce the shame around this thing by putting it out there?”

In the dramedy,...

UnPrisoned Season 2 is coming soon, and there is a new first look at the new season with John Stamos and Kerry Washington. UnPrisoned premiered in 2023 as a comedy starring Washington as a woman who faces past trauma when her father (Delroy Lindo) is released from prison after 17 years.

Here is a look at what fans can expect from UnPrisoned Season 2.

UnPrisoned Season 2 First-Look Released

In an exclusive clip for UnPrisoned Season 2, Paige (Washington) attends therapy with her father Edwin (Lindo) and her son Finn (Faly Rakotohavana). This session has some interesting results, and Paige is not happy to know what the therapist Murphy (John Stamos) is planning for them to face their issues.

This scene also plays out in the first trailer, as Murphy tells them, “[I can heal you] if that’s what you want. Is that what you want? Because you have to really want it. A lot of people can’t.

Desperate Housewives cast is open to returning for a revival, hinting at a potential comeback with original characters front and center. A potential revival would need to honor the show's rich history and original cast, rather than wiping the slate clean for a reboot. Wisteria Lane and its core characters were essential to the show's success, making a comeback without them seem like a pale imitation.

Desperate Housewives is one of few shows where the cast is still interested in returning following a long and successful run, but it would only work under one condition. The hit drama focused on the lives and loves of a group of women living in the fictional Wisteria Lane. Each of the eight seasons had an overarching mystery that left many questions about what was happening behind closed doors for the cul-de-sac's residents. Despite Desperate Housewives ending after eight seasons in 2012, its cast has...

With any long-running TV show, there are bound to be rumors of behind-the-scenes drama and feuds. Most of the time these are just ploys to get people talking, but sometimes they have some weight behind them. Weve seen these kinds of stories come out of shows such as The Good Wife, where a feud between Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi almost tore the series apart. And, of course, the ever-infamous feud between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker on, and off, the set of Sex and the City. But theres another series that has its fair share of scandals: Desperate Housewives. The show follows four housewives; Susan (Teri Hatcher), Bree (Marcia Cross), Lynette (Felicity Huffman), and Gaby (Eva Longoria), and the dramas and scandals that fill their day-to-day lives. The inciting incident is the death of their friend and fellow housewife Mary Alice (Brenda Strong), and when they discover that...

In a show like Desperate Housewives which thrives off of unhinged drama, it’s hard to narrow down one specific moment that changed the series. The show begins with the death of Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong), who also serves as the show’s narrator. Her death is shocking enough on its own considering it happens in the first few minutes of the pilot episode, but it helped get the show rolling as the entirety of the first season followed the mystery surrounding her death. Going forward the series dropped lots of major bombshells. From creepy neighbors, to loan sharks, and tornadoes. Every storyline played into making Desperate Housewives what it is, but there’s one episode in particular that sticks out as a turning point for the show, and it’s the episode “Bang” from Season 3.

Despite Captain Jean-Luc Picard's (Patrick Stewart) dislike of children, the USS Enterprise-d encountered its fair share of kids in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Unlike the Starship Enterprise of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Captain Picard's ship had families aboard, including many young children. Although these kids do not appear in most episodes, some storylines allow the children of the Enterprise to take center stage. As the youngest member of the main cast, Wil Wheaton's Wesley Crusher featured in many episodes, often helping the senior staff find unconventional solutions to problems.

In the early 2000s, the women of Wisteria Lane ruled soapy television. Created by Marc Cherry, Desperate Housewives began airing in 2004 and portrayed a group of women who find themselves struck by tragedy when their friend Mary Alice (Brenda Strong) inexplicably kills herself. The entirety of the first season follows the aftermath of Mary Alice’s death, and sees her friends try to uncover the mystery behind it. The series lasted 8 seasons, and with each passing season the storylines got progressively more unhinged, with tornadoes striking the lane, and planes crashing onto it. But despite some more unique moments, the show’s inspiration is grounded in surprising, and dark, reality.

Desperate Housewives changed the scope of television when we were welcomed into the neighborhood of Wisteria Lane in 2004. Created by Marc Cherry, the series followed a group of women, “housewives”, who consistently found themselves elbow-deep in dirty laundry — and not the machine-washable kind. The series started off with a bang — literally, when Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) committed suicide for unknown reasons. She's our narrator for the series and through her, we follow her friends, Gabrielle (Eva Longoria), Susan (Teri Hatcher), Bree (Marcia Cross), and Lynette (Felicity Huffman) as they try to uncover the reason behind her suicide, all the while balancing their own messy dramas. Every season brought a new mystery to the lane, and there was no predicting what would happen next. Everything from tornadoes, to a plane crashing in the middle of the street, and illegitimate children — there was never a shortage of drama on Desperate Housewives.

Jack Axelrod, the actor who played the role of Victor Jerome on General Hospital, has died. He was 93.

Multiple reports indicate that Axelrod died on Nov. 28 of natural causes in Los Angeles.

Axelrod was featured on the ABC soap for 40 episodes between 1987 and 1989. He had previously made guest appearances in Kojak (1977), Hill Street Blues (1984), Dallas (1983), The Judge (1986), Dynasty (1987), Outlaws (1987) and Night Court (1989).

“I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with him in his last years, as he had no immediate family,” representative Jennifer Garland said in a statement to EW. “We spent much time outdoors, where Jack loved to sketch, read news articles, and recite Shakespearean sonnets.”

Following his stint on General Hospital, Axelrod went on to play Arnie Zimmer on three episodes of Knots Landing between 1989 and 1990. Guest appearances would follow on shows like Murphy Brown (1992), Everybody Loves Raymond (1999), Boys Meets World (1999), Good vs Evil (1999), Jack & Jill...

Starz has decided to cancel its original shows Heels, Run the World, and Blindspotting, along with the yet-to-premiere series The Venery of Samantha Bird. Heels is a drama about two wrestling brothers dealing with their complicated relationship after their father's death. Run the World is a comedy following a group of women in Harlem, while Blindspotting is a spinoff/sequel to the 2018 film and focuses on a man's partner after his imprisonment.

Despite the apparent end of the writers strike, which will launch a long list of productions that were halted, Starz has decided to cancel some of its original shows. Including the popular drama starring Stephen Amell, Heels. Just months after the premiere of the second seasons of Heels, Run the World, and Blindspotting, Starz has decided not to continue with any of the series for a third installment. Variety confirms that the network has officially canceled all three shows,...

Starz has axed three existing drama series and one upcoming project.

The network has binned Heels, Run The World and Blindspotting as well as not moving forward with The Venery of Samantha Bird.

Heels, Run The World and Blindspotting all aired two seasons and The Venery of Samantha Bird paused production in May due to the strikes with two episodes left to film.

Heels revolves around the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small-town pro wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals (Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig) war over their late father’s legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel. But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to — or hard to leave behind.

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria reveals she would be interested in a revival. The series, created by Marc Cherry, premiered on ABC in 2004 and quickly found success, generating impressive ratings during its eight-season run. It explored the lives of four women residing in a seemingly picture-perfect community while uncovering many of their secrets through the narration of deceased neighbor Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong). Longoria portrayed Gabrielle Solis, a former model whose complicated marriage to Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira) was an important storyline throughout.

A Desperate Housewives reboot has already been dismissed by several cast members, but Longoria still appears eager to return. In a recent interview with Access, the star shared that she would "be the first to sign up" for a potential revival but admitted that it seems unlikely to happen. Read Longoria's comments regarding a Desperate Housewives revival below:

"She'd be an influencer for sure. She'd be a social media mogul.

“The story itself is just so compelling… it’s all about healing,” shares Caroline B. Marx about what drew her to the new Hulu series “UnPrisoned,” which centers on a daughter attempting to reconcile with her father after his 17-year prison sentence. The costume designer appreciated that the show is “based on reality” — it draws inspiration from the life of creator Tracy McMillan — and that it is “socially relevant.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Kerry Washington stars as Paige, a relationship therapist who welcomes her father Edwin (Delroy Lindo) into her home despite the effects his incarceration had on her as a child. Marx collaborated closely with the actress to pick the color palate of Paige’s fashion, which McMillan had described to her as “Minneapolis but by way of Brooklyn.” The creator conceived of Paige as a “hipster but she’s adulting now,” but Tracy herself “doesn’t wear color at all,...

Exclusive: Starz’ The Venery of Samantha Bird has shut down production as a result of the writers strike.

Deadline understands that the drama series has paused filming with two episodes of its eight episode order left to shoot. The series shoots in Montreal.

It comes after Netflix’s Rob Lowe comedy series Unstable and HBO Max’s Hacks were shut down for similar reasons and writers rooms for shows such as Starz’ Power Book III: Raising Kanan, NBC’s Night Court, Netflix’s Cobra Kai, Showtime’s Yellowjackets and ABC’s Abbott Elementary also closed their writing rooms.

The series stars Katherine Langford in the title role and was created by Anna Moriarty.

It follows Samantha Bird, who, while visiting family in New England, Samantha Bird reconnects with her childhood sweetheart and falls headlong into a seemingly perfect storybook romance. But underneath their fever dream lurks a more unsettling interpretation of this affair.

Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram to share some photos of her date night in Venice with husband John Legend.

In a series of photos, Teigen shows herself getting ready for their night out, posing in an elevator and then on a balcony, attired in a black jacket over a bra with no top.

“Sue Ellen Mischke takes Italy,” Teigen wrote in the caption.

Fans of “Seinfeld” should get the reference, given that Sue Ellen Mischke (played by future “Desperate Housewives” star Brenda Strong) was the nemesis of Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Elaine Benes, who nicknamed Sue Ellen “the braless wonder” because she never wore one. Elaine bought her a bra as a gift, with Sue Ellen turning the tables by wearing it beneath a blazer, sans shirt.

After playing Kimberly Shaw in “Melrose Place” and Bree Van de Kamp in “Desperate Housewives,” Marcia Cross is ready for her next iconic role.

“I always assumed that after ‘Desperate Housewives’ there will be a third act. It has not happened yet. That’s the double-edged sword of being an ‘icon.’ Everybody thinks you are that character and by the time they forget about it, you are not on anybody’s list anymore,” she said at Series Mania in Lille, France.

“I am at this funny crossroad: I am this incredibly ripe human and yet Hollywood is not particularly interested. We are tackling LGBTQ+ issues, although there is still a long way to go, we are talking about people of color, but – and I hate to say it – we don’t love to see older women. We were 40-year-old women doing ‘Dh’ and that was a big deal. Now, I want to see 60-year-old women.
