It's been almost a year since the finale of Resident Alien Season 3 hit the airwaves, and as fans eagerly await to hear when Season 4 will make its debut, the stars of the hit sci-fi comedy series are teasing that it could be sooner rather than later. Premiering in 2021, Resident Alien stars Alan Tudyk as an extraterrestrial that's sent to wipe out humanity, but ends up crash-landing on Earth and sticking around for a while, only to find himself defending humankind instead.

Appearing at Fan Expo Vancouver this past weekend (via The Direct), Tudyk was joined by his fellow co-stars Alice Wetterland (D'arcy Bloom) and Sara Tomko (Asta Twelvetrees) to discuss all things Resident Alien. Based on the comics by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse, the series has quickly become a favorite among many, due in part to Tudyk's wonderful performance in the fish-out-of-water story, and the series' sharp writing that...

Exclusive: With 346 submissions since the Desi List was first announced earlier this year, the South Asian scribe spotlighting partnership between The Black List and The Salon has some big talent looking at the work of the talent of tomorrow.

“We’re committed to transforming the conversation on South Asian and Desi representation in TV and film” said The Salon’s co-founders Nik Dodani, Bash Naran, and Vinny Chhibber on new feature scripts and TV pilots. “Our goal is to shine a light on a forward-looking slate of scripts and retire the tropes and stereotypes that have defined our community on screen for so long,” the trio added.

“In order to ensure that the diversity of our large community is reflected in The Desi List – in terms of cultural background, professional experience, and creative taste – we’ve recruited an eclectic group of 43 writers, showrunners, directors, actors, producers, executives, agents, and managers...

TV is becoming the new frontier for amazing sci-fi stories, attracting top talent like Christopher Walken and delivering impressive viewership. Emmy-winning series like Stranger Things and Westworld showcase the power of TV to tell complex, multi-layered sci-fi narratives. Shows like Resident Alien, Silo, and Dark Matter demonstrate how TV allows for deep world-building, character development, and nuanced storytelling not possible in film.

At some point, the future of amazing science fiction stories will mostly transition from movies to TV. Over the past few years, some of the best TV series of all time have been released, and they sit firmly in the sci-fi genre. Major streaming services have released incredible shows, and Academy Award-winning actors like Christopher Walken, Anthony Hopkins, and Daniel Kaluuya have joined them. For many of the series, critics' ratings have been fantastic, and viewership for shows like Fallout has been very impressive.

The success doesn't stop there.

The following contains spoilers for Resident Alien Season 3, now streaming on Peacock.

Syfy's Resident Alien has been one of the most popular shows on TV. Alan Tudyk has been doing a great job as an alien pretending to be Harry, a doctor in the snowy Colorado town of Patience. Harry's job was to prepare the Earth to be destroyed in the first two seasons. However, he has developed an affinity for humanity.

This led to Harry trying to stave off the apocalypse in Resident Alien Season 3. Unfortunately, he has the Greys (his alien rivals) to deal with, their human-hybrid aliens, and a military that he can't trust on the "blue rock." With that in mind, here is how each episode stacked up in Season 3.

While some stars were rounding the troops for group shots, others like Thede and the Domingos ducked inside Slack’s booth for intimate shots. In fact, demand was so high for the exclusive portrait session that so many queued up, stretching the wait time to 30 minutes.

One of director Kabir Akhtar’s first episodes on Mindy Kaling’s Netflix comedy series “Never Have I Ever” was the first episode told from Ben Gross’s (Jaren Lewison) point of view in Season 1.

The show follows Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) as she conquers the rollercoaster of high school, the emotions of adolescence and her particularly hot temper, which could flare at any moment. Devi also experiences a classic love triangle between two very different boys — Lewison’s overachieving, nerdy Ben Gross and Darren Barnet’s laid-back jock Paxton Hall-Yoshida.

“I ended up directing both Ben episodes and one of the Paxton episodes, and that first one, one of the things I loved most about it was — you look at it on the surface, and to that point in the show you have this young brown girl as the main character,” Akhtar told TheWrap. “This privileged white kid who...

A new Young Sheldon season 6 behind the scenes video makes Missy and Sheldon's latest heartwarming conversation so much more special. As TV's No. 1 comedy approaches its final stretch for the year, certain plot lines are starting to culminate.

As revealed in director Kabir Akhtar's new social media post, Sheldon and Missy's touching talk in Young Sheldon season 6, episode 17 was also Iain Armitage and Raegan Revord's last scene together in 2022. Check it out below:

Director Lesli Linka Glatter was elected President of the Directors Guild of America at the union’s National Biennial Convention in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

Glatter replaced Thomas Schlamme, who was guild president for the last four years.

Glatter has been on the Guild’s National Board since 2003, most recently as First Vice-President, and before that as Fifth Vice-President. She’s been a member of three negotiating committees including the most recent, which brought in new residuals for directors in paid video on demand and other areas.

Additionally, 160 delegates representing more than 18,000 members of the DGA elected a new slate of officers and members of the National Board of Directors, which included Ron Howard, Barry Jenkins, Ava DuVernay, Paris Barclay and others.

“I am honored to have been chosen by my peers to serve as President, and am committed to continuing our Guild’s great legacy of protecting the...

The 73rd annual Directors Guild of America Awards kicked off on Saturday evening. The awards honored the best directing in film and television of the past year.

This year, nominees Lee Isaac Chung for “Minari,” Emerald Fennell for “Promising Young Woman,” David Fincher for “Mank,” Aaron Sorkin for “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” and Chloé Zhao for “Nomadland” vied for the top directorial prize for film, with Zhao winning.

On the TV side, “The Queen’s Gambit,” “Homeland,” and “The Flight Attendant” won the major prizes, shaking up the race as we head into Emmys season.

The DGA prize is often considered a bellwether for the Best Director Oscar. Recent DGA winners that went on to repeat at the Academy Awards include Alfonso Cuarón for “Roma,” Guillermo del Toro for “The Shape of Water,” Damien Chazelle for “La La Land,” and Alejandro G. Iñárritu for both “The Revenant” and “Birdman...

The 73rd Directors Guild of America Awards took place on Saturday, April 10 in a virtual ceremony. These kudos honored the best helmers of the year in film and television, as voted on by more than 18,000 members of the directing guild.

The awards, of course, celebrate the accomplishments of people of color in the fields of television, music, literature and film, and will be simulcast across BET, CBS, MTV, VH1, MTV2, BET Her and Logo tonight at 8/7c.

Heading into the live show, ABC’s black-ish led the TV pack with five awards, winning trophies for Outstanding Actor (Anthony Anderson), Supporting Actor (Deon Cole) and Supporting Actress (Marsai Martin). That makes two wins for Martin,...

The Salon is doing the heavy lifting when it comes to elevating South Asian talent in the entertainment industry and to do that, they have selected the participants for the inaugural Salon Mentorship Program. Led by Disney’s Reena Singh, Hillman Grad’s Rishi Rajani, Writ Large manager Bash Naran, actor/comedian Nik Dodani (Atypical), and actor/producer Vinny Chhibber (The Red Line), the program has revealed its 23 mentors and mentees.

The individuals participating in The Salon Mentorship Program were selected from a nationwide pool of over 850 candidates recruited through an open application.

Mentees will also have exclusive access...

The Directors Guild of America (DGA) announced the television nominations for the 2020 DGA Awards on Monday, honoring “Ted Lasso,” “WandaVision,” and “The Queen’s Gambit” as examples of some of the finest directorial work that the medium has to offer.

Both Comedy and Drama categories saw complete turnover in nominees from 2019, with none of the series honored last year airing episodes during the window of eligibility in 2020. Therefore the celebration is guaranteed to get an injection of fresh blood, a welcome development with any awards body.

Curiously, the wide open field allowed for some surprising series to garner their first ever DGA nominations, including AMC’s “Better Call Saul” and Disney+’s “The Mandalorian.”

Also announced today were the DGA Award nominations for Documentary, including nods for “Boys State” and “The Truffle Hunters.”

The Theatrical Feature Film and First-Time Feature Film nominees for this year’s DGA Awards will be announced Tuesday,...

Nominations for the 52nd NAACP Image Awards were announced on Tuesday, and ABC’s black-ish and HBO’s Lovecraft Country led TV’s comedy and drama packs, respectively.

Topping all of TV as it did in 2020 (and the year before…), black-ish amassed 11 total nominations, including recognition for Outstanding Comedy Series and eight of its stars. (Last year, black-ish won in nearly every category for which it was nominated, including its fifth consecutive trophy for Outstanding Comedy). HBO’s Insecure followed with seven total comedy nods.

OTTThe show puts an Indian-American teen at the centre, pushing past generations of stories that have placed white protagonists in the spotlight.Nikhita VenugopalThere’s a formula when it comes to classic teen rom-coms — a girl, a boy, best friends, overbearing parents, school. The best versions of these stories draw us in with tropes (because who doesn’t love a good rom-com) but keep us hooked for something much more. For teen stories, the task becomes harder because we’re wired to dismiss their problems as ‘angst’ and move on with our day. But beyond the crushes and homework and screaming matches, it’s ultimately a kid in crisis, hoping to be taken seriously in a world where the adults are talking.

Each year brings more series than many thought possible. Most of them want Emmys. Some of them even deserve them. So, in the peakest of peak TV climates, who can blame the marketing teams behind them for getting creative with their For Your Consideration campaigns?

“I think that in this very crowded television landscape, you have to differentiate yourself and it’s always been about creative ideas and figuring out ways to trigger people with what you’re promoting,” says Rich Licata, the veteran awards campaigner who pioneered the idea of episode screeners when he was at HBO in the early 1990s.

He says that strategies including boxed mailers and For Your Consideration Q&A nights are no longer enough — especially the latter, now that there’s such a demand to hold them at the TV Academy’s North Hollywood headquarters that the venue had to institute a lottery system.

The American Cinema Editors handed out the Eddie Awards on Friday (Jan. 26). Oscar watchers were in attendance for the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton as they are keenly aware that Ace is aces as one of the best indicators of which film takes home the Best Picture Oscar

Since 1990, the film that came up with an Ace went on to win the top prize at the Academy Awards 17 times. And in seven of the 10 years when the Ace barometer was wrong, the Eddie champ was at least a contender for Best Picture, including last year when both the drama winner (“Arrival”) and the comedy/musical champ (“La La Land”) were among the eight Best Picture nominees that lost the top Oscar to “Moonlight.”

American Cinema Editors (Ace) today announced nominations for the 64th Annual Ace Eddie Awards recognizing outstanding editing in ten categories of film, television and documentaries. Winners will be revealed during Ace’s annual black-tie awards ceremony on Friday, February 7, 2014 in the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The Ace Eddie Awards is considered an integral precursor to the Oscars. No film has won Best Picture at the Oscars without also having received at least a Best Editing nomination since Ordinary People in 1981. Since the Ace membership boasts a very high crossover within its membership of Academy members, it represents a very accurate bellwether for the eventual Oscar outcome.
