Jon Hamm is hitting the red carpet at the premiere of his new Apple TV+ series!

The 54-year-old Emmy-winning actor had the support of wife Anna Osceola at the premiere of Your Friends and Neighbors on Tuesday (April 8) held at the DGA Theater in New York City.

Fellow cast members in attendance included Olivia Munn, Amanda Peet, Mark Tallman, Hoon Lee, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero, Isabel Gravitt, Donovan Colan, Eunice Bae, Corbin Bernsen, Daniel Dale, Gino Vento, Miriam Siverman, Jennifer Mudge, and Sandrine Holt.

Sarah Paulson was also in attendance supporting longtime Bff Amanda.

Here’s the synopsis: “After being fired in disgrace, Andrew ‘Coop’ Cooper (Hamm), a hedge fund manager still grappling with his recent divorce, resorts to stealing from his neighbors’ homes in the exceedingly affluent Westmont Village, only to discover that the secrets and affairs hidden behind those wealthy facades might be more dangerous than he ever imagined.

As Somebody Somewhere completes its third and final season on HBO, Bridget Everett is ready to reveal how her gem of a comedy comes up with stories about life in a small Kansas town.

“Plot isn’t central to our show,” the actress admitted Friday at Deadline’s Inaugural TV Sidebar, which launched this year as part of the Scad Film Festival in Savannah, Ga. “I think that’s what makes it unique. It’s just our taste, I guess. We’re more interested in the way the characters interact with each other. In season one, we tried to do a little more plotting. But every time, it didn’t feel organic to the show. So it’s really more about putting people in situations and how they can grow off of each other.”

Launched in 2022, the series follows Sam (Everett), a true Kansan who struggles with loss and acceptance in her midwestern hometown.

It's crazy to think that Somebody Somewhere season 3 is the last season of the comedy-drama. It's actually really good, heartwarming, and tackles some great themes. You definitely root for the main character, Sam, and want her to take those chances that she needs to in life. It's so bittersweet that the final season is here! So when do new episodes come out?

When do new episodes of Somebody Somewhere season 3 come out?

The HBO series premiered on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024. And so now Somebody Somewhere episode 2 airs Sunday, Nov. 3. Each week, be sure to set your alarms for 10:30 p.m. Et on Sunday nights when new episodes come out both on TV, as well as streaming on Max.

Note: The following story contains spoilers from the “Somebody Somewhere” Season 3 premiere.

“Somebody Somewhere” kicked off its third and final season with promises of growth and a heartbreaking twist involving an adorable rescue dog named Pepper — who happened to be played by star Bridget Everett’s real-life pup.

The HBO comedy series kicked off Season 3 Sunday with “Margarini,” in which Sam (Bridget Everett) found herself feeling adrift while witnessing her friends and family getting settled into new dynamics. Best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller) revealed a new step in his blossoming relationship with Brad (Tim Bagley), telling Sam that they were moving in together; Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison) dipped into the dating waters after officially getting divorced; and Fred (Murray Hill) faced new lifestyle changes as he settled into his marriage to Susan (Jennifer Mudge). Everett wrote the episode alongside series creators Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen.

Seeing all this change...

We’re in an era of entertainment maximalism. Superheroes with larger-than-life powers; cinematic universes with a dozen franchises or more; huge swings with even the unlikeliest IP: all are inescapable. So it’s nearly a miracle that Somebody Somewhere, which seems like an experiment in how small a story can be and still enthrall its audience, has lasted this long. With its third and final season, it ends as it began: portraying the vital necessity of true friendship, especially later in life.

In the first season, Sam (Bridget Everett) has relatively recently returned from New York City to her hometown of Manhattan, Kansas, for her sister Holly’s last days. As the series begins, Holly has died of cancer, and Sam is just trying to maintain baseline functionality. She doesn’t realize that Joel (Jeff Hiller), now her co-worker at her job reading college admission essays, knew her when they were both in high school,...

In Season 1 of HBO’s Peabody Award-winning dramedy “Somebody Somewhere,” Sam Miller (Bridget Everett) worked through her grief and anger in the months following her older sister Holly’s death. In Season 2, she struggled to find her place in her hometown again while managing her first big blowup with her best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller) and grappling with a secret Holly had kept from her. Now, in the third season of this outstanding series, Sam finally settles into her tiny community and tries to navigate change without retreating into old habits of isolation and self-loathing. Just as magical as ever, the final season of “Somebody Somewhere” is a stunningly honest depiction of friendship, grace and courage.

Set in Manhattan, Kansas, “Somebody Somewhere” captures the quiet, charm and monotony of small-town living. Instead of being patronizing, creators Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen offer a hilarious and beautifully compassionate window into this particular place,...

Somebody Somewhere will return later this month for its third and final season, and HBO has released a brand-new trailer for the comedy series. The cable network announced in August that season three would end the comedy series.

Bridget Everett, Jeff Hiller, Mary Catherine Garrison, Jane Brody, Murray Hill, Mercedes White, Kailey Albus, Meighan Gerachis, Tim Bagley, Jennifer Mudge, and Barbara Robertson, star in the HBO comedy series, which follows Sam, played by Everett, as she struggles to fit into life in her hometown.

Somebody Somewhere is going out on a high note. In the new trailer released Monday for the HBO comedy’s upcoming third and final season, Bridget Everett’s Sam is facing a whole lot of mystery as everything around her seems to be changing all at once.

According to the official description for the forthcoming run (which premieres Sunday, Oct. 27 at 10:30/9:30c), “We see growth against all odds.” In the new video, Sam embraces her chosen family (and sister Tricia) as she works a new job and worries about her next steps in life.

“Somebody Somewhere” is bracing for major changes in its first trailer for Season 3. The final installment of Bridget Everett’s award-winning comedy will premiere Oct. 27 at 10:30 p.m. Et on HBO. New episodes will also be available to stream on Max.

Monday’s trailer opens with what Sam dubs “a lot of change.” As her friends encourage the group to eat healthier, her best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller) prepares to move.

“I don’t really know what I’m doing. What’s wrong with wanting a little bit more?” Sam asks her sister.

“You are a woman who is in charge of her life. But you have to manifest it. You have to say it out loud otherwise it won’t happen,” Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison) lectures. Later, she gives some kinder advice, assuring her sister that “nobody knows what they’re doing, I promise. You just do it.

It’s the beginning of the end for HBO’s Somebody Somewhere, the Peabody Award-winning comedy starring, written, and executive produced by comedian and singer Bridget Everett.

Pack your bags to return to Las Colinas. Apple TV+ has ordered its hit bilingual comedy series “Acapulco” for a fourth season. The Spanish and English-language series, inspired by 2017’s “How to Be a Latin Lover,” follows Máximo Gallardo, whose dream comes true when he gets the job of a lifetime at Acapulco’s hottest resort but soon realizes that working there will be more complicated than he could’ve ever imagined.

Somebody Somewhere is bowing out.

The critically acclaimed, Peabody Award-winning HBO dramedy will end with its forthcoming third season. The final run is set to premiere Oct. 27.

HBO picked up a third season of the series in June 2023. It began filming soon after the end of last year’s SAG-AFTRA strike (scripts had been completed prior to the writers strike), making it one of the first productions to get running again after writers and actors secured new contracts.

Created by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen and starring Bridget Everett (who’s also a writer and executive producer), Somebody Somewhere centers on Sam (Everett), who moves back to her Kansas hometown and eventually finds her people in a community of outsiders “who don’t fit in but don’t give up,” as the show’s logline puts it.

The first thing you need to know about “The Requin” is that its title refers to any shark of the Carcharhinidae family — although no one in this movie ever uses that term. The second thing you need to know is that no sharks, requin or otherwise, appear until nearly an hour into writer-director Le Van Kiet’s 89-minute film, which may cause some impatient viewers to suspect they have been targeted with a bait-and-switch scam, and react by repeatedly hitting the fast-forward button.

Last, and arguably most important: It may be more of a survival-at-sea drama than a people-versus-sharks thriller, but “The Requin” is largely satisfying as a popcorn distraction with a nifty gender-swapping approach to genre tropes and stereotypes. Kiet sustains a fair amount of suspense throughout, and once again demonstrates, as he did in his well-received 2019 Vietnamese martial-arts actioner “Furie,” that distressed damsels can be deadlier than the male.

"We need to focus on surviving!" Saban Films has revealed the first official trailer for another new shark horror movie titled The Requin, this one made in Vietnam by a Vietnamese filmmaker named Le-Van Kiet. He last made the action film Furie a few years ago. A couple on a romantic getaway to the beach in Vietnam find themselves stranded at sea when a tropical storm sweeps away their villa. In order to survive, they are forced to fight the elements. But soon a school of Great White sharks circle below. This sounds like another "been there, done that" kind of concept, no? But everyone loves shark movies and is always frightened by them. Alicia Silverstone and James Tupper star as the couple, with a small cast including Deirdre O'Connell, Jennifer Mudge, and Danny Chung. This looks terrifying, but also looks like a copy of every other shark survival movie.

"You can't force these soldiers to become political." 1091 Pictures has revealed an official trailer for an indie drama titled The Drummer, from filmmaker Eric Werthman. This first premiered last year, and is out on VOD this fall - timed to honor Veterans Day. Set in 2008, The Drummer revolves around active and former members of the U. S. military. With the US engaged in a seemingly perpetual war, the devastating traumas that soldiers suffer abroad continue to be felt at home. The film stars Danny Glover as a Vietnam veteran who has become a lawyer and political advocate for soldiers who've suffered mental health issues. Glover's statement: "My brother was a Vietnam vet, given to the recent announcement that there are more veterans suicide than soldiers killed in Iraq makes the film The Drummer more timely than ever." The cast includes Prema Cruz, Sam Underwood, Daniel K. Isaac, Camilla Perez,...

Exclusive: Danny Glover drama The Drummer has been acquired in North America by 1091 Pictures.

Glover is also an executive-producer on the feature drama in which three interwoven stories reveal the traumatic effects of war on the psyches of veterans from different generations.

Glover stars as Mark Walker, a Vietnam war veteran who has become a lawyer and political advocate for soldiers who have suffered mental health issues through their tenure with the Army. Walker works at The Drummer, a small, “anti-war” coffee shop, where the soldiers he meets open up the issue of the mental struggles and physical toll that war takes on veterans.

Eric Werthman directs. The film is a N and J Productions film, written by Werthman and Jessica Gohlke, produced by Werthman and Vladan Nikolic. Cinematography comes from Marcin Kapron, editing is by Erin Greenwell and the original score is by Clare Manchon and Olivier Manchon.

Exclusive: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has a warrant out, in a manner of speaking, for Broadway actors. Next week’s episode features Tony-nominated Hadestown actor Eva Noblezada and Beetlejuice himself Alex Brightman, and showrunner Warren Leight tells Deadline that’s just the beginning.

Last night, after the episode casting was announced, Leight tweeted, “We are trying to hire every Broadway actor we can while we and they wait for the curtains to rise again.” And he wasn’t joking.

“We know how hard the community has been hit here,” Leight said in an interview. “The goal is to get as many jobs to as many theater actors as we possibly can.”

The offer couldn’t come at a more opportune time. The National Endowment for the Arts recently released figures indicating that while the overall unemployment rate has averaged 8.5 percent, the average among actors was 52 percent.

The NBC New York-based L&o franchise has long been known as a steady source of employment for the city’s theater performers – rare is the stage actor whose Playbill credits don’t include at least one of the L&o series – but the pandemic has pushed Leight’s team to ramp up even those efforts for the current Season 22.

Stage actors already cast in parts for this season include the Tony-winning Adriane Lenox, Elizabeth Marvel, Jane Bruce (Jagged Little Pill), Jelani Alladin (Disney’s Frozen), Michael Mastro (Love! Valour! Compassion!), and Betsy Aidem (Steel Magnolias).

Even Raúl Esparza, a four-time Tony nominee known to the wider TV audience for his six-season Svu run as Assistant D.A. Rafael Barba, is making a temporary franchise comeback to reprise the role for this week’s episode “Sightless in a Savage Land.”

Leight says the Broadway-filled roles range in scope from one-day parts to more substantial turns, but have an important practical impact for the actors, adding to the work day minimums required for Actors Equity-Broadway League health insurance.

The casting offers a significant logistical benefit to the show as well: casting New York actors is the more practical and efficient option during the Covid-19 pandemic, when the prospect of long-distance flights from Hollywood and required quarantine protocols can complicate using Los Angeles-based actors.

“In the past we’ve done what you could call Hollywood stunt casting,” Leight says, “but a lot of those players aren’t going to be willing to get on a plane and quarantine right now. We realized early on that we’ll have to cast locally much more.”

The Broadway shutdown also allows the show to get around the planning issues that Broadway’s usual performance schedule demands: Coordinating a shoot around the identical eight-performance weeks of working stage actors like Noblezada and Brightman (who Leight says enact “a horribly failed virtual romance” in the Jan. 14 episode) is daunting. There’s only so much guest-starring that can be crammed into a dark Broadway Monday.

Yet another plus for the production: Stage actors, accustomed to the tightrope walk of eight shows a week, are what Leight calls “money players,” guest stars who “hit their marks and can do it over and over” quickly. With pandemic safety precautions enforced on set – minimal personal contact, Covid testing, noisy stop-and-start ventilation, among other things – the production, he says, “doesn’t have time for actors who need to find it.”

“Our directors need to know that [guest actors] can do two scenes with Olivia and not be nervous,” he adds, referring to star Mariska Hargitay’s Olivia Benson character.

Leight himself has an extensive stage background, including his 1998 Tony-winning Best Play Side Man, a Pulitzer finalist that starred the Tony-winning Frank Wood.

And yes, Wood will be popping up on Svu this season. Leight says Svu‘s medical examiners office has been “augmented” to include a role for his old friend.

Leight’s Tuesday night tweet was met with a quick response from New York stage actors. Jennifer Mudge, whose Broadway and Off Broadway credits include Into The Woods, Rocky and The Philanthropist, tweeted, “Warren, I feel like now is the time to tell you that only Svu is missing from my L&o trifecta completion. (Mothership twice!),” to which Leight responded, “On it.”

Three-time Tony nominee Carolee Carmello tweeted a simple, “Much appreciated,” while West Side Story actor Danny Wolohan wrote, “Broadway’s Officer Krupke says thank you!”

And Chris Orbach – actor, writer, musician and, as the son of the late Jerry Orbach, a member of an L&o royal family – weighed in. “God love you,” he responded to Leight’s tweet. “You cats are good like that.”

Law & Order: Svu, from Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, airs Thursdays at 9 pm on NBC.

Thank you, @warrenleightTV! My last L&o stint was an episode staring John Ritter! I think it's time I came back for a visit! ❤️

In the first instalment of my conversation with the director/screenwriter/co-producer of Write When You Get Work, Stacy and I discuss the spot-on look she created with costume designer Samantha Hawkins, the visual storytelling, what's in a word, camouflaging ourselves, her cinematographer Robert Elswit, and how writing a screenplay can be like writing a letter.

The title of Stacy Cochran's wonderfully offbeat, smartly written, and well...

In Mark Pellington’s newest drama, penned by indie stalwart Alex Ross Perry, one of life’s enduring — and, frankly, damn unsettling — questions is writ large though the various stories of people dealing with love and loss in different ways: what would you save from a burning building? Ellen Burstyn’s character asks that query overtly in the film’s first trailer, playing a woman who literally had to ask that very question as her home went up in flames.

She’s hardly the only person sorting through the value of objects, as “Nostalgia” weaves together a “mosaic of stories about love and loss” and, per its own intriguingly short synopsis, aims to “explore our relationships to the objects, artifacts, and memories that shape our lives.” Elsewhere, Jon Hamm appears as a man wrestling with the weight of his childhood home and what it actually means to him.
