It was a big night for television, as Emmy favorites descended upon Cipriani Wall Street in New York City for the second annual Gotham TV Awards. Launched in 2024, the TV branch of the beloved indie film award show continues to stake out an early position on the calendar that could eventually make it a barometer for the Emmy race in a way that mirrors the Gotham Awards’ traditional relationship with the Oscars.

The evening’s big winners included “Adolescence,” which completed a sweep of the limited series categories with wins for Breakthrough Limited Series and Outstanding Lead Performance in a Limited Series (for Stephen Graham), while Owen Cooper shared the Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Limited Series award with Jenny Slate (who was nominated for “Dying for Sex”). Emmy Frontrunners “The Studio” and “The Pitt” also won the Breakthrough Comedy Series and Breakthrough Drama Series categories, respectively.

The 2025 Gotham TV Awards are underway in Manhattan.

This marks the second year in which the Gotham Awards have broken out TV honors with a separate ceremony during Emmys season.

Netflix’s Adolescence leads this year’s nominees with four nods.

The four-episode series about a teenage boy accused of murder, which became a much-talked-about phenomenon shortly after its streaming debut last month, landed nods for breakthrough limited series, lead performance in a limited series (Stephen Graham) and two nods for supporting performance in a limited series (Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty).

Meanwhile, Max’s The Pitt, FX’s Dying for Sex and CBS’ Matlock each landed three nods, with a number of projects scoring two nods apiece.

Dying for Sex faces off against Adolescence in the limited series category, where additional nominees are Get Millie Back, Penelope and Say Nothing.

Actor Liam Hemsworth takes over the part of supernatural swordsman ‘Geralt of Rivia’ from actor Henry Cavill, in Season 4 of the live-action fantasy TV series “The Witcher”, directed by Sergio Mimica-Gezzan, Tricia Brock, Alex Garcia Lopez and Jeremy Webb, streaming in 2025 on Netflix:

“…after the shocking, ‘Continent’-altering events that close out season three, the new season follows ‘Geralt’, ‘Yennefer’ and ‘Ciri’ who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged land and its many demons.

“If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire and finding one another again….”...

Netflix’s ambitious series adaptation of Nobel Laureate Gabríel Gárcia Marquez’s seminal novel ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ would take years of research, drawing extensively from museums, historical documents and historians.

The production was a massive collaborative effort, employing nearly 900 crew members, primarily Colombian, alongside 150 skilled artisans and thousands of extras. More than 850 local suppliers contributed to the ambitious task of constructing the legendary town of Macondo from the ground up, turning a cornerstone of Colombian literature into a tangible, culturally rich reality.

Most of the set pieces were handcrafted by artisans from across Colombia, preserving centuries-old ancestral traditions. Items such as baskets, iraca palm hats, hand-crocheted bags, musical instruments, hammocks, textiles, mats, and nets were created by Indigenous communities, including the Wayuu, Chimila and Kamsá.

The creative team underwent in-depth lessons on Colombian history, delving into events like the Thousand Days’ War, a devastating civil conflict central to Season One.

On the eve of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Spanish cinema is riding high with two films in the event’s official competition – “Sirat” and “Romería” – and another selected for Critics’ Week – “Sleepless City.” However, a shadow looms over the celebratory spirit as one of the country’s most important producers and champions of groundbreaking and industry-defining series and latterly cinema, Movistar Plus+ director of fiction and entertainment Domingo Corral, is exiting the company, leaving the future of one of the nation’s largest indie cinema backers in question.

For over a decade, Corral was the driving force behind Movistar Plus+’s push into original storytelling, championing ambitious series that redefined Spain’s place in the international audiovisual landscape. Under his leadership, the platform evolved into one of Europe’s most respected producers of scripted content, rivaling the likes of Netflix and HBO Europe in prestige.

One of the best action movies of the last few years continues to prove its greatness, earning a pair of nominations at this year’s Gotham TV Awards. Released by Netflix back in September last year, Rebel Ridge has been both a critical and commercial success for the streamer, with the action thriller having now found itself up for awards consideration and thus cementing itself as one of the best genre features of modern times.

Rebel Ridge is now up for Outstanding Original Film, Broadcast, or Streaming alongside the likes of Peacock’s Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, NBC’s Ladies & Gentlemen…50 Years of SNL Music, HBO’s Pee-wee as Himself, and Hulu’s Sly Lives!

Filming is underway on Philip Barantini’s Enola Holmes 3 in the UK for Netflix.

The third instalment of the Sherlock Holmes spin-off film franchise is shooting at Shepperton Studios before moving to Malta for the final few weeks.

Millie Bobby Brown stars as the titular character, Holme’s younger sister, and also produces the feature via her production company Pcma Productions.

Cineverse, and its horror division Bloody Disgusting, have settled on Iconic Events Releasing as the theatrical distribution partner for the August 29 unrated wide release of The Toxic Avenger. The studio and distributor worked together on the highly successful rollouts of the last two Terrifier films.

The Toxic Avenger comedic horror film directed by Macon Blair and starring Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), debuted at Fantastic Fest to critical acclaim (and a 92% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes).

The news comes as the exhibition business heads to CinemaCon in Las Vegas next week.

“Teaming with Iconic over the years has been a mutually-rewarding experience both for our team and the amazing filmmakers we are showcasing,” said Cineverse Chief Content Officer Yolanda Macias. “We look forward to building on the box office success of Terrifier 2 and 3 as we get ready for this release.

Exclusive: Oscilloscope Laboratories has acquired U.S. rights to the feature directorial debut of Giovanni Tortorici’s coming-of-age drama Diciannove, produced by Oscar nominee Luca Guadagnino.

The pic, which made its world premiere at Venice last year, stars Manfredi Marini, Vittoria Planeta, Zackari Delmas, Dana Giuliano, and Luca Lazzareschi. It’s also making its North American premiere at the Closing Night of MoMI’s 2025 First Look Festival in New York City this weekend.

Diciannove (which translates to “nineteen” in Italian) follows the highs and lows of a restless youth as he collides headlong into the concrete realities of adulthood when Leonardo (Manfredi Marini), a teenager from Palermo leaves home for the first time. His studies land him in Siena, by way of London, where he clashes with his instructor, the curriculum, and most chaotically, with himself.

New images have revealed the best look yet at the new Toxie. Starring Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage, the reboot of The Toxic Avenger is coming to theaters on Aug. 29, 2025.

Previously, very little had been revealed from the remake. The only shot that's been released of Toxie was from behind the character, keeping his appearance mostly a mystery. Per Entertainment Weekly, that has changed with brand-new images released of the new Toxie. Check out the new photos below.

In the film, Dinklage plays Winston Gooze, a chemical factory janitor who becomes transformed into a monstrous mutant after a freak industrial accident. He uses his newfound superhuman strength to become a vigilante, targeting the town's criminals. EW reports that actor and movement artist Luisa Guerreiro provides the physical performance of Toxie underneath the makeup and costume.

Spoilers for "Daredevil: Born Again" follow.

The premiere of "Daredevil: Born Again" wastes no time at all, kicking off with an action scene that's out to remind you of the original "Daredevil" series.

Here's the set-up: Bullseye has attacked Josie's Bar and critically wounded Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson). Matt/Daredevil (Charlie Cox) arrives and attacks Bullseye, fighting him into the bar. Daredevil has strength and rage on his side, so Bullseye is left running. The one-take begins in the interior of Josie's, then follows Bullseye as he makes it up the building's stairwell, Daredevil close behind, before the fight concludes on the roof.

These extended one-take action scenes were a hallmark of the Netflix "Daredevil," which did a new one in each season while trying to one-up the previous scene. The first was in the second ever "Daredevil" episode, "Cut Man" (directed by Phil Abraham). Taking place in an apartment building hallway,...

The Acolyte was not long for this world, as the Star Wars series was canceled at Disney+ after a single season. While that was obviously not the best news for the show's cast and crew, Dafne Keen still sees the positive side of her involvement with the short-lived series.

In The Acolyte, Keen played Jecki Lon, a Jedi Padawan who meets an unfortunate end before the end of the season. Per Screen Rant, Keen commented on the show getting canceled while at the Saturn Awards. While she admitted that it was difficult news for the team to hear, she is nevertheless happy to have been a part of the show's brief run. Pplaying Jecki still gave Keen a chance to play a Jedi on-screen, which was a bucket list item she's now able to tick off while still rather early into her acting career.

Last August, we got word that Lucasfilm/Disney had decided not to movie forward with a second season of The Acolyte despite several major storylines and character arcs being left unresolved by the end of the season 1 finale - including the introduction of Darth Plagueis.

The decision was met with a mixture of indifference and disappointment, but it seemed very clear that a lot of Star Wars fans - and some of the actors involved with the show - were surprised by this development.

Showrunner Leslye Headland was hoping to be able to continue her High Republic era-set tale, and rumor has it that the studio was planning a second season up until fairly recently.

Despite speculation that the negative backlash from many Star Wars fans contributed to the show being canned, reports emerged that The Acolyte was cancelled because it didn't get enough viewers, plain and simple.

We’re excited to announce today that Cineverse has saved director Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger remake and plans an unrated wide theatrical release later this year.

Bloody Disgusting’s parent company Cineverse acquired all U.S. and Canadian theatrical, home entertainment, and streaming rights through a deal with Legendary Entertainment.

The news was first reported by Variety this afternoon.

This fresh take on the beloved anti-hero known as “Toxie” was directed by Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore) and stars Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”), Kevin Bacon, and Elijah Wood.

The Toxic Avenger is a daring and darkly comedic reimagining of the cult-classic franchise that first took the world by storm in the 1980s.

Cineverse has announced that “The Toxic Avenger,” a darkly comedic reimagining of Troma Entertainment’s 1984 cult classic of the same name, is headed to theaters in 2025.

Directed by Macon Blair (“I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore”) and starring Peter Dinklage, “The Toxic Avenger” reboot will premiere as an unrated wide release later this year.

“I’m beyond grateful to the team behind ‘The Toxic Avenger’ who were so supportive and steady-handed as we searched for the perfect distribution partner for our film,” said director Blair in a statement. “It’s so cool that folks will have the chance to see this in theaters, it’s a fun rowdy movie you wanna see with a crowd.

Early on in their accaimed TV series adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude” Netflix and Bogota-based producer Dynamo (“Narcos”) set out to find Macondo.

First, writers, producers and location managers visited Aracateca, the Nobel Prize winner’s birthplace on Colombia’s Caribbean seaboard. Later they toured Colombia’s Guajira peninsula, its Pacific Coast and Ciénega Grande swamp, capital Bogota’s province and Tolima in the high Andes.

As they had always imagined, they never found Macondo – in the sense of one single village which could easily readapted into the icon magical realism. The idea, however, from the very beginning was to build Macondo from scratch.

Those fam trips, however, left multiple health hostages to fortune.

Most of the action of “One Hundred Years of Solitude” – the novel and series – in reality takes place in a relatively small strip of territory in Colombia’s far Caribbean north.

Following stand-out turns in Netflix's Squid Game and Disney+'s The Acolyte, South Korean actor Lee Jung-jae might be set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

According to scooper Mttsh, Jung-jae is in talks for an undisclosed MCU role.

We don't have any details on who he might be in line to play, but there's a chance it isn't any one specific hero or villain. Kevin Feige has been known to reach out to actors he's keen to work with without having a particular character in mind, and it's also possible that Jung-jae was given a choice of several different roles.

This isn't actually the first time the actor has been rumored for a Marvel part, as there was some talk of him being in negotiations to play Mr. Negative in Sony's Ssu last year.

Why was it argued that Gabriel García Márquez’s 1967 literary masterwork “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is un-filmable and anti-cinematic, while the novel is one of the most picturesque pieces of literature ever written? One can hardly finish this 422-page novel without bypassing the images it evokes. I assume, the reason behind this ‘un-filmability’ or ‘un-adaptability’ lies in the kaleidoscope of realism that stems from Gabriel García Márquez’s life and works.

Once, while delivering a lecture on García Márquez at the Harry Ransom Center, Salman Rushdie remarked that, while reading García Márquez’s works, his readers’ often, enchanted by the ‘Magic,’ overlook the ‘Real.’ This magic of Gabo, which at times overshadowed the real, is perhaps one of the key reasons for making it look like cinema or television is inefficient in adapting his texts. But, García Márquez, who throughout his life was inextricably involved with cinema, himself did...

Directed by Alex García López and Laura Mora, Netflix's One Hundred Years of Solitude seems to achieve the impossible by adapting a book considered inadaptable for decades. While book adaptations can often leave viewers dissatisfied with their creative liberties and source material deviations, Netflix's take on Gabriel García Márquez's novel has been received well by both viewers and critics.

The show boasts an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 94% after its season 1 premiere. Owing to this, it is not surprising that Netflix ordered 16 episodes of the show, and its second installment is already underway. Like One Hundred Years of Solitude...

For a novel that has been claimed difficult to adapt in a live-action setting, Netflix proved that time solves everything – at least with how they handled Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude. Many Hollywood filmmakers have attempted to translate the 1967 Nobel Prize-winning story to the screen, but it was only today that an adaptation has been successfully made.

Part of the reason the author had firmly refused to make a movie or show out of his work was because he believed the beautiful and enchanting town of Macondo could never be rendered onscreen. Finally, Netflix made it possible.

Welcome to Deadline’s International Disruptors, a feature where we shine a spotlight on key executives and companies outside of the U.S. shaking up the offshore marketplace. This week we’re talking to Alex García López, a director on Netflix’s epic adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez’s seminal novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. The first eight episodes land today (December 11) on the streamer and the Argentine director lifts the lid on the pressures that come with steering Netflix’s most ambitious Latin American project to date, why the project had to be set in Colombia and his next steps, which includes a move into the feature film space.

Alex Garcia Lopez is no stranger to directing big-budget and ambitious TV series, with shows such as fantasy drama The Witcher, neo-noir anime series Cowboy Bebop and Star Wars series The Acolyte among his list of credits. But when...

Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez’s 1967 magnum opus, “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” has long been considered one of the greatest works of modern literature. However, during Márquez’s life, he refused to sell the rights to the novel because he felt a film adaptation would not come close to scratching the surface of this century-long tale. Now, with the blessing of his sons Rodrigo García and Gonzalo García Barcha, who serve as executive producers, Netflix has adapted the sweeping masterwork into a two-part limited series spanning over 16 hours of television. (Netflix hasn’t yet announced when Part 2 will premiere.) With directors Alex García López and Laura Mora at the helm for Part 1, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is exquisitely detailed and layered in intricate symbolism. The show is one of the most faithful page-to-screen adaptations in recent years.

A tale of family, fate, power and the frailties of humanity,...

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Márquez is a monumental work in the literary realm. Its pages are alive with the magic of memory, the weight of history, and the delicate dance of fate—a tapestry woven with threads of love, loss, and a real longing.

As I settled in to watch Netflix’s adaptation, I felt a familiar flutter of anxiety: how do you transform the ineffable beauty of Márquez’s words into a visual medium? The novel’s popularity is almost heavenly, revered not only for its narrative complexity but also for its significant impact on the landscape of magical realism. It’s a towering achievement that makes many adaptations feel like pale shadows of the original—a formidable challenge that this series must carefully navigate.

Márquez famously opposed film adaptations of his writings, claiming that no film could capture the depth of his vision. And yet,...

Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez’s masterpiece “One Hundred Years of Solitude” — an elliptical epic of fate, family, politics and madness in Macondo, a fictional town that represents the wider, tragic history of Colombia and Latin America as a whole — has been made into a Netflix series.

That’s Netflix; the streaming service better known for “Squid Game,” “Tiger King” and the more overpriced works of Ryan Murphy and Shonda Rhimes.

Bad idea, right? Well, to further quote that other prizeworthy wordsmith Olivia Rodrigo, “f—k it, it’s fine.”

More than fine, actually. The first season of this two-part, Spanish-language production can come across at times like a highbrow telenovela. But the sweeping pageant does an impressive job of streamlining García Márquez’s idiosyncratic, discursive novel into an expeditious but still thoughtful, contemplative and, yes, realistically magical eight hours.

The author’s sadness and humor come across intact; the...

Three years ago, Max released a limited series adaptation of a well-regarded novel that blended magic realism and an all-too-real snapshot of a global pandemic. Dreamy and uncomfortably familiar, bleak and yet bursting with hope, Patrick Somerville’s translation of Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven has settled into a reputation as a modern classic — THR placed it at No. 42 on our list of the 50 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century So Far — but owing to the timing of its premiere, the show was initially a little lost. It missed deadlines for many critics’ Top 10 lists and didn’t attract the awards attention you might expect based on its subsequent acclaim. It had to take a long path to adoration.

We’ll have to see if a similar fate awaits Netflix’s adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, a novel with one of...

Jodie Turner-Smith reveals that she has "no regrets" about playing Mother Aniseya in the divisive Star Wars Disney+ series The Acolyte. The series has received harsh backlash from fans and critics despite topping the streaming charts. Even before its release, it was shrouded in hostile reception. Disney has decided not to renew The Acolyte for season 2.

Turner-Smith reflects on her experience starring in the Star Wars series while promoting The Agency in an interview with Collider. The star revealed that she "loved being in that universe" and she wouldn't hesitate to return if The Acolyte received another season. Turner-Smith further explained it had nothing to do with the content of the show, but because it was her "dream project." Check out what the actor said below:

Of course [I'd return]! First of all, I loved being in that universe, I had an incredible time doing that, and I loved it. No matter what,...

Back in August, we got word that Lucasfilm/Disney would not be moving forward with a second season of The Acolyte.

The decision was met with a mixture of indifference and disappointment, but it's very clear that a lot of Star Wars fans - and some of the actors involved with the show - were surprised by this development.

Despite some rumors to the contrary, reliable reports suggested that The Acolyte was cancelled because it didn't get enough viewers, plain and simple. However, it's difficult to disregard the possibility that the level of negativity surrounding the show did influence the studio's decision to at least some extent.

While speaking to Vanity Fair about season 2 of Squid Game, star Lee Jung-jae (Master Sol) reflected on the backlash the show received from certain fans, with some cast members being subjected to racist, homophobic and misogynistic abuse online.

“My feelings were hurt,” he admitted.

Star Wars: The Acolyte was a hit with critics, but the show was nevertheless subjected to heavy backlash on social media. In particular, there had been many negative comments made online about the diversity of the cast, and actor Lee Jung-jae can remember how hurtful it felt at the time.

In a new interview with Vanity Fair to promote the upcoming second season of Netflix's Squid Game, Lee reflected on the backlash against The Acolyte. While he found the racist comments to be hurtful, he especially felt for series showrunner Leslye Headland. Lee also said that while he knew going into the show that Star Wars has a passionate (and sometimes very vocal) fan base, he was still "shocked" by the levels of racist comments and online harassment that he'd witnessed.
