The shoestring-budget horror classic that spawned one of the most enduring and consistent horror franchises, Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead” holds up nearly 45 years later.

Brilliant Minds is off to a good start for NBC.

Michael Grassi’s medical drama has attracted 9.2M cross-platform viewers to its premiere episode since the September 23 debut, NBCUniversal says. That’s up 138% from the live + same-day audience of 3.9M.

The audience declined slightly for Episode 2, attracting 3.5M live + same-day viewers on Monday night, though that still was good enough to make it the top scripted show of the night across the broadcasters.

Actually, in the 18-49 demo, Brilliant Minds has seen the smallest Week 2 decline among the last five NBC drama debuts.

Brilliant Minds also had the third best debut for any NBC show on Peacock, coming in behind Found and Night Court — two shows that have demonstrated strong staying power since they premiered. In the six days post-premiere, Found had already surpassed 10M viewers after securing 3.8M in live + same-day.

NBC is filling the medical drama void left by the end of New Amsterdam with Brilliant Minds, based on the life of author/neurologist Oliver Sacks (The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat). Starring Zachary Quinto as Dr. Oliver Wolf, the one-hour drama joins NBC’s primetime lineup on September 23, 2024 at 10pm Et/Pt.

“In many ways, our show is a love letter to Dr. Sacks, a man who dedicated his life to destigmatizing mental illness, telling stories about people living with neurological conditions in a way that was accessible to the world,” stated series creator, writer and executive producer Michael Grassi. “Our core theme embodies the message that defined Sacks’ life: No matter how ‘other’ you may feel, you are not alone.”

Season one also stars Tamberla Perry as Dr. Carol Pierce, Ashleigh Lathrop as Ericka Kinney, Alex MacNicoll as Dr. Van Markus, Aury Krebs as Dr.

Zachary Quinto, the star of NBC’s new medical procedural Brilliant Minds (previously titled Dr. Wolf), said he was initially hesitant to return to network television, especially given its contractual basis. However, the Heroes actor signed on to the series, citing a changing dynamic between streaming and network models.

“The conversation around network versus streaming has shifted, and the industry has experienced a return to [a type of] television it had departed pretty significantly from,” he said in a recent cover story with Entertainment Weekly. “There’s something about the reliability of [network procedurals]. Audiences are more interested in appointment television than they were for a little while.”

Though cord-cutting remains prevalent and streaming shows dominate ratings, audiences have been vocally disillusioned with SVOD-based services, especially when their profit models lead to the cancellations of niche series and increasingly expensive shows gestate for longer times in between new seasons (at times dropped in frustrating batch...

There will be no second season for Dead Boy Detectives. Netflix has canceled the series after one season, sources confirm to Deadline.

The first season, which dropped on April 25, will now be the final season for the show, which was originally set up at Max.

Based on the comics of the same name by Neil Gaiman and part of The Sandman Universe, Dead Boy Detectives followed Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri), “the brains” and “the brawn” behind the Dead Boy Detectives agency. Teenagers born decades apart who find each other only in death, Edwin and Charles are best friends and ghosts… who solve mysteries.

They will do anything to stick together – including escaping evil witches, Hell and Death herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal (Kassius Nelson) and her friend Niko (Yuyu Kitamura), they crack some of the mortal realm’s most mystifying paranormal cases.

“Dead Boy Detectives” has been canceled at Netflix. The series aired its one and only season at the streamer on April 25.

Thus ends the show’s twisty path to the screen. It originally got a pilot order at Max in 2021 and then a series order at that streamer in 2022 before it was sold to Netflix in 2023. It was reported at the time that the sale took place because the show, which is based on characters created for DC by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, did not fit with the new direction for Max-dc content being spearheaded by James Gunn and Peter Safran.

At Netflix, it was a part of the “Sandman” universe, as the Dead Boy Detectives were first introduced in an issue of “The Sandman” comic book. Netflix currently airs “The Sandman” TV series, with a second season on the way.

George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri starred as the titular dead boys,...

Back in the 1890s, writer Oscar Wilde brought the world a story called The Picture of Dorian Gray – and now the Netflix streaming service has announced that they’re teaming up with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television on a new TV series called The Grays, which ComicBook.com hears will be “a contemporary take on the Oscar Wilde classic about our fascination with eternal youth set against the backdrop of the modern beauty industry.“

The Picture of Dorian Gray has the following description: Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world.

Netflix is in the process of adapting “The Picture of Dorian Gray” into a modern TV series, TheWrap has learned.

The show, titled “The Grays,” will be produced by Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with “The Girls on the Bus” showrunner and EP Rina Mimoun serving as showrunner and executive producer, according to an individual with knowledge. Katie Rose Rogers will write the series.

As the team modernizes the Oscar Wilde novel, the series will center on siblings Basil and Dorian Gray as “The Grays” tackles the classic’s themes through the eyes of the modern beauty industry, according to Deadline, who first reported the news.

Representatives for Warner Bros. Television and Netflix declined to comment.

Mimoun and Rogers will executive produce the series alongside Rogers’ brother, Robbie Rogers, with whom she worked on “Fellow Travelers” and who has served as a producer on “All American” and an EP on “All American: Homecoming.

Exclusive: The Picture Of Dorian Gray is getting a TV series treatment with The Grays, which is in development at Netflix, Deadline has learned. It hails from Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television where the company is based. A rep for Netflix declined comment.

Written by Katie Rose Rogers, The Grays is a contemporary take on the Oscar Wilde classic about our fascination with eternal youth set against the backdrop of the modern beauty industry. In a twist on the gothic novel, the series revolves around siblings Basil and Doran Gray.

Fittingly, two of the project’s executive producers are siblings Katie Rose Rogers (Supergirl) and Robbie Rogers (All American), who worked together on the Emmy-nominated limited series Fellow Travelers. Also executive producing are Rina Mimoun, who serves as showrunner’ Lee Toland Krieger who is directing; as well as Berlanti Proids.’ Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Leigh London Redman.

Both Howey and Patinkin will star in two episodes.

Patinkin will play an esteemed family doctor who joins the staff of Bronx General Hospital and brings his own “unconventional methods to the workplace.” According to the press release, “his affinity for house calls and long-standing patient relationships wins the respect of our lead, Dr. Wolf, and fosters a mentor-like relationship between the two men.” According to Grassi, he “really shakes up our world.”

Howey portrays a “rugged motorcycle mechanic” who comes to Dr. Wolf looking for help with a gunshot wound and is “forced to make a heartbreaking decision.” De Shields plays “an Alzheimer...

Netflix has offered up the first peeks at its upcoming Dead Boy Detectives series.

The show, based on the Vertigo comics by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, stars George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri as Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland, best friends — and ghosts — who help solve paranormal cases in the mortal realm.

At Netflix, Dead Boy Detectives will be part of the Sandman universe (the characters were introduced in Gaiman’s Sandman comics in the early 1990s) — but the series took a winding road to get there. It was initially developed for Max as part of the streamer’s former plans for its DC Universe, with Edwin and Charles making an appearance (although played by different actors) in season three of Doom Patrol.

Max (then HBO Max) ordered it to series in April 2022, but after Warner Bros. Discovery decided to reset the DC universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran,...

The “Dead Boy Detectives” series is officially set to air on Netflix after originally being set up at Max.

The show, based on characters created for DC by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, was originally ordered to series at Max back in April 2022. However, it was reported earlier this year that it would be moving to Netflix due to the fact it did not fit the new direction for Max-DC content being spearheaded by James Gunn and Peter Safran.

The official description for the eight-episode series states, “Do you have a pesky ghost haunting you? Has a demon stolen your core memories? You may want to ring the Dead Boy Detectives.

Hollywood moviemaking has always been a numbers game, and right now the winning number appears to be two.

Zack Snyder is locking picture on part one of December’s Rebel Moon, his two-part space opera for Netflix. Christopher McQuarrie, the filmmaker behind Paramount and Skydance’s Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning, Part One, retreated to a house in the northeast in recent months to edit what he’s shot so far of his follow-up. And once the SAG-AFTRA strike ends, Wicked filmmaker Jon M. Chu has just a few days left of principal photography on the first of his two Broadway adaptations. Then there’s Dune: Part Two (delayed by the strike until March), a sequel to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (no release date in sight) and Kevin Costner’s two-part western Horizon, hitting theaters six weeks apart next summer.

These two-parters can serve both art and commerce, say those who work on them.

In addition to Zachary Quinto, confirmed cast members include Tamberla Perry (They Cloned Tyrone), Ashleigh Lathrop (The Kominsky Method), Alexander MacNicoll (The Society), Aury Krebs (Way Down), Spence Moore II (The Wonder Years), and Teddy Sears (The Flash).

More changes are afoot at the revamped DC Studios. As part of the ongoing strategy shift at the Warner Bros. unit now led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, the upcoming supernatural mystery series “Dead Boy Detectives” is moving from HBO Max, where it was originally set up, to Netflix, where it joins “The Sandman,” another show based on a comic series by writer Neil Gaiman. The news was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

“Dead Boy Detectives” is an eight-episode series executive-produced by Greg Berlanti, who oversees the now winding-down Arrowverse TV franchise, with “The Flight Attendant” EP Steve Yockey and “Arrow” writer Beth Schwartz serving as showrunners. The pilot was directed by Lee Toland Krieger (“Shadow and Bone”). It stars George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri as Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland, dead British teenagers who, rather than continuing on to the afterlife, choose to stay behind on Earth...

Dead Boy Detectives is moving platforms.

The DC drama based on the Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner comics has been sold from HBO Max, the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed streamer that developed the show, to Netflix. Producers Warner Bros. Television shopped the drama after sources say the series didn’t fit with the new chapter of content that DC executives James Gunn and Peter Safran are building for the comic book powerhouse. That plan includes five inter-connected shows that will live alongside Peacemaker on HBO Max. Also contributing to the show’s move between platforms is the fact that HBO Max would not have been able to market the show until 2024, with execs at the streamer blessing producers to take the show out elsewhere.

Reps for Netflix, Warners and Berlanti did not immediately respond to The Hollywood Reporter‘s request for comment.
