The Crew is a workplace comedy series created by Jeff Lowell. The Netflix series is set in a NASCAR garage and it follows the story of the crew chief as he is surprised to find out that the owner has decided to retire and put his millennial daughter in charge of the garage. Both butt heads over how the garage...

The race is over for Kevin and his garage team. Netflix has cancelled The Crew so, there won't be a second season for this multi-camera comedy series.

Created by showrunner Jeff Lowell and directed by Andy Fickman, The Crew stars Kevin James, Jillian Mueller, Freddie Stroma, Gary Anthony Williams, Dan Ahdoot, and Sarah Stiles. In the comedy, crew chief Kevin Gibson (James) runs a NASCAR garage. When the owner steps down and passes the team off to his Stanford-educated daughter, Catherine Spencer (Mueller), Kevin finds himself at odds with the tech-reliant millennials she starts bringing in to modernize the team.

Netflix is saying goodbye to four more popular shows.

The streamer canceled four shows on Friday:

Country Comfort, The Crew, Mr. Iglesias, and Bonding.

Country Comfort starred Katherine McPhee as a country singer named Bailey, who takes a job as a nanny for a cowboy and his five children.

“With a never-give up attitude and loads of Southern charm, this newbie-nanny is able to navigate the family dynamics and be the mother figure they’ve been missing,” per the official logline.

“To her surprise, Bailey also gets the band she’s been missing in this musically talented family who help get her back on the road to stardom.”

The cast also includes Eddie Cibrian, Ricardo Hurtado (School of Rock), Jamie Martin Mann, Pyper Braun, Shiloh Verrico, and Griffin McIntyre.

The Crew, meanwhile, starred Kevin James as a NASCAR crew chief for the fictional Bobby Spencer Racing team.

Netflix is clearing the decks, cancelling four of its original comedy series on Friday: Country Comfort, The Crew, Mr. Iglesias and Bonding will not return for additional seasons on the streamer, TVLine has confirmed.

Country Comfort, which debuted in March, starred Katharine McPhee as Bailey, a down-on-her-luck country singer who accidentally became the nanny of a musical brood, led by single dad Beau (Eddie Cibrian). The cast also included Ricardo Hurtado as Tuck, Jamie Martin Mann as Brody, Griffin McIntyre as Dylan, Shiloh Verrico as Cassidy, Pyper Braun as Chloe, Janet Varney as Summer and Eric Balfour as Boone.

Kevin and Beth aren’t the only potential pairing being teased by The Crew.

In the Season 1 finale of Kevin James’ Netflix sitcom, NASCAR speedster Jake (played by Bridgerton‘s Freddie Stroma) shared a kiss with his new boss Catherine (Jillian Mueller), who had spent the previous nine episodes determined to ditch Bobby Spencer’s oafish driver. Suffice it to say, the passionate embrace came as something of a shock — even to the actors.

It’s the age-old question: Does absence make the heart grow fonder? The Crew‘s Kevin Gibson is about to find out.

You don’t have to watch a minute of Kevin James’ new Netflix series, “The Crew,” to know exactly what the show is like. From showrunner Jeff Lowell (“The Ranch”), the workplace comedy stars James as Kevin, the bumbling crew chief of a middling Nascar racing team, whose job becomes a lot more complicated after the team’s owner retires and puts his millennial daughter Catherine (Jillian Mueller) in charge.

Like most of James’ characters, Kevin is a self-deprecating man-child who loves old-school values, cheap beer, and protecting the status quo, which makes having to listen to his progressive new boss a challenge. A Stanford grad who found success in Silicon Valley, Catherine has little in common with her new employees, but brings to the table several strategic, forward-thinking ideas for how the team could break out of their rut and become real contenders in racing. However, none of the...

Sparks are flying on Netflix’s The Crew — and not the kind you see on the Daytona International Speedway.

The first episode of Kevin James’ NASCAR-themed sitcom establishes the potential pairing of Kevin and his longtime coworker Beth, played by Billions‘ Sarah Stiles. The table-setting comes in the very last scene, when a recently dumped Kevin posits that he’ll never meet that special someone as long as he’s dedicated to his job. He then suggests the chances of finding someone who cares as much about the racing circuit are slim to none, at which point Beth chimes in:...

Kevin James didn’t want his third sitcom to be a rehash of King of Queens or Kevin Can Wait — and what could be more different than a series set in the world of NASCAR?

On the heels of the Daytona 500, Netflix will launch The Crew, a 10-episode comedy from creator Jeff Lowell (The Ranch) that centers on the fictional Bobby Spencer Racing team, led by crew chief Kevin Gibson.

Kevin James seems like a pretty solid crew chief in his new NASCAR Netflix comedy series, “The Crew.” Unfortunately, everyone around him appears to be as hapless as can be.

But don’t take our word for it — watch the trailer above.

“The Crew” is set to debut on Monday, Feb. 15 on Netflix, the streaming service said on Friday. The timing follows the real-life Daytona 500 race on Sunday, Feb. 14.

“‘The Crew’ stars Kevin James as the leader of the fictional Bobby Spencer Racing team. When the team’s old-school owner, Bobby Spencer himself (Bruce McGill), steps down and passes the team off to his daughter Catherine (Jillian Mueller), James has to protect himself and his crew from her attempts to modernize the team.

Step 1 of Catherine’s plan: Replace the clearly very bad (or at least dumb and distracted) driver Jake, who is played by Freddie Stroma.

With serious competition coming from Disney+ and HBO Max, not to mention the volatile task of churning out content amid a pandemic, Netflix has plenty of challenges ahead in 2021. But the reigning titan of streaming remains a necessary utility for most TV consumers — weathering all storms put in its path — so for as different as the new year is bound to be, one question still matters most: What buzzy original series can Netflix release to keep subscribers happy?

From classics like Salem's Lot and Black Sabbath to new releases like Blood Vessel and Porno, Shudder's November releases have a little bit for every type of horror fan:

Blood Vessel — November 5

Somewhere in the North Atlantic, late 1945, a life raft adrift at sea, and in it, the survivors of a torpedoed hospital ship. With no food, water, or shelter, all seems lost until a seemingly abandoned German minesweeper drifts ominously towards them, giving them one last chance at survival—if they can survive the bloodthirsty monsters on board. Starring Nathan Phillips (Wolf Creek), Alyssa Sutherland (Vikings), Robert Taylor (Longmire), directed by Justin Dix (Crawlspace). A Shudder Exclusive. (Also available on Shudder Canada and Shudder UK)

Lingering — November 12 (a.k.a. Hotel Lake)

Seeking support as the guardian of her younger brother, Yoo-mi returns to a small hotel run by a family friend. As bizarre incidents creep up in her mother’s old room,...

Two of my all-time favourite horror films are Michele Soavi’s Stagefright (1987), which sees a group of stage actors locked in the theater for a rehearsal of their upcoming musical production with a psychopathic killer; and Mark Herrier’s Popcorn (1991), which sees a murderer kill the attendees of a movie marathon in an old abandoned cinema. Why am I telling you this? Well Keola Racela’s Porno continues the same thematic tradition found in those films and other movies such as Fade to Black, Anguish and Demons, whilst also harkens back to that similar period in film history, setting this particular story in small-town America circa 1992…

The new horror comedy movie Porno pits movie theater employees against a succubus, so naturally it would be fitting to watch the new film as a midnight movie at your local cinema. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic is preventing public screenings right now, but that's not stopping Fangoria from supporting theaters with a special virtual cinema release of Porno.

Reported by Deadline and shared by Fangoria on their official Twitter account, the virtual cinema release of Porno will begin at 12:00am on Friday, April 10th and run through May 1st, ahead of the film's VOD release on May 8th (it will also eventually be released on Shudder).

According to Deadline, during the early virtual release window, "Tickets are $12 a piece and will last for 48 hours after purchase..." The Porno tickets will be available through Vimeo, and virtual attendees can select one of several theaters to support with their ticket purchase.

Following its memorable run on the festival circuit, Keola Racela's horror comedy Porno was acquired for worldwide distribution by Fangoria, and ahead of the film's April release, the trailer has now been revealed, in which movie theater employees are pitted against a sex demon from the silver screen.

Directed by Keola Racela from a screenplay by Matt Black and Laurence Vannicelli, Porno stars Evan Daves, Larry Saperstein, Jillian Mueller, Glenn Stott, Robbie Tann, Peter Reznikoff, Bill Phillips, and Katelyn Pearce.

Fangoria will release Porno in theaters on April 10th, followed by a VOD release on May 8th, and an eventual debut on the streaming service Shudder. In the meantime, you can watch movie theater employees get more than they bargained for in the trailer below, which premiered on IndieWire.

Pretty Woman: The Musical will end its Broadway run on August 18, when the show will have played 27 preview and 421 regular performances at the Nederlander Theatre since its debut last August.

Producers revealed the news Wednesday, saying the musical will begin performances in Hamburg, Germany in late September. A U.S. national tour will kick off in October 2020.

The musical, which was shut out of Tony nominations this year, was the highest-grossing and longest-running new musical of the 2018-2019 Broadway season. It has broken the Nederlander’s eight-performance weekly box office record four times during its run.

Based on the 1990 blockbuster movie starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, Pretty Woman: The Musical opened on August 13, 2018 with Samantha Barks and Andy Karl in the lead roles. It features original music and lyrics by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, a book by the late Garry Marshall and the film’s writer J.F. Lawton,...

Movie theater employees in a conservative small town look forward to unwinding every Friday night when they watch a movie after hours, but they get more than they bargained for when they watch a film that unleashes a sex demon in the new movie Porno. Following the horror comedy's world premiere at SXSW (check here to watch a clip from the film), we've been provided with an exclusive track from the film's score to share with Daily Dead readers.

Composed by Carla Patullo and titled "Don't Lose Your Edge//You Wicked Demon," the exclusive track can be listened to below, and here's what Patullo had to say about the making of the track:

"Don't Lose Your Edge//You Wicked Demon is a track that I made by combining two cues. One cue happens in the basement of the movie theater which is filled with an otherworldly energy. There's a Succubus in the movie,...

Filmmakers and cinephiles undoubtedly remain haunted by certain urban legends in film. When my mother told me about Snuff, an alleged South American snuff film that screened in the 70s in New York, it haunted me to my core for years. A few weeks ago I caught it at Quad Cinema’s “Rated X” series and found it to be a hilariously unwatchable mess, but that’s a story for another review.

Porno has a terrific concept and effective execution for much of its first half: a group of religious high school students working at their majestic local downtown twin movie theater stumble across a secret basement screening room where they find a satanic porno that might very well be a lost Alejandro Jodorowsky film or an upcoming sequel to The Love Witch.

Set in 1992 when the only options at this mini-multiple are Encino Man and A League of Their Own,...

Porno is admittedly not my kind of film: A B-grade horror drenched in blood which proudly displays testicular decimation and dripping demonic double-d’s. With that said, it also hosts an array of successful comedic bits thanks to an (also) admittedly/occasionally smart screenplay by Matt Black and Laurence Vannicelli, and a solid exhibition of teenage companionship at its core, which seems to be a driving theme at this year’s South by Southwest Film Festival. Unfortunately, due to my newfound tolerance levels, Porno feels more like a macroaggression against the easily queasy than anything else.

Personally, I find it difficult to enjoy a movie I mostly watched with my hands draped over my eyes (something I really almost never do), though a lot of the people around me seemed to be having a good time. Again, not my kind of thing.

Set in a small Christian town in the...

In response to our current political hellscape, it seems there’s never been a better time for horror lovers, from box office hits like “It” and “A Quiet Place,” to instant indie classics such as “Hereditary” and “Suspiria.” Fewer and farther between, however, are newer additions to the beloved subset of horror-comedies, though “Get Out” and the burgeoning “Happy Death Day” franchise stand out as two successful (and very different) examples of how to marry humor and horror. That’s why “Porno,” which recently premiered in competition at the SXSW Film Festival, represents such a thrilling entry to the genre. This gory teen comedy blends laughably outrageous carnage with a legitimately scary plot to delightful ends. Throw in a winking fetish for cinephile culture and audiences are sure to go wild for the gutsy film.

Taking place in one location, an old school movie theater circa 1992, “Porno” finds four teenage...

One of the more amusing promotions in the history of exploitation cinema was for Jess Franco’s sexy-arty 1967 “Necronomicon.” In the U.S., it was released as “Succubus,” but the distributor claimed that title was too shocking for publication, so newspaper ads included a phone number that could be called to hear the lascivious-sounding word (and its definition). That self-imposed hurdle pales next to the one filmmakers have handed themselves with “Porno,” a comedy horror that despite its XXX moniker (and some gore) mostly plays like a retro teen mall-flick fantasy in the spirit of “The Lost Boys” or “Gremlins.”

Keola Racela’s film gets off to an amusingly self-aware start as youthful staff at an early 1990s movie house inadvertently summon up a real succubus hungry for their bodies and souls. Unfortunately, “Porno” gets more uneven as it goes on, with a somewhat slack midsection and a mix of earnestness,...

Movie theater employees in a conservative small town look forward to unwinding every Friday night when they watch a movie after hours, but they get more than they bargained for when they watch a film that unleashes a sex demon in the new movie Porno. Ahead of the horror comedy's world premiere at SXSW, we've been provided with a Nsfw poster and clip from Porno to share with Daily Dead readers.

Directed by Keola Racela from a screenplay by Matt Black and Laurence Vannicelli, Porno stars Evan Daves, Larry Saperstein, Jillian Mueller, Glenn Stott, Robbie Tann, Bill Phillips, Katelyn Pearce, and Peter Reznikoff.

The 26th edition of the SXSW Film Festival will feature movies directed by Harmony Korine and Olivia Wilde, an untitled romantic comedy starring Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron and a concert film with comedian Kathy Griffin.

The annual gathering in Austin, Texas, which starts on March 8, will open with Jordan Peele’s “Us,” which was previously announced. The thriller stars Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and Elisabeth Moss.

There will be 102 features and TV episodes featured over nine days.

In recent years, SXSW has upped its game as a festival that covers a lot of ground. It reliably launches a few spring studio hits, such as last year’s “The Quiet Place” and “Blockers,” and also discovers under-the-radar storytellers. For attendees, there’s also keynote addresses with filmmakers and actors.

The standouts in this year’s lineup include Korine’s “The Beach Bum,” a much-anticipated comedy starring Matthew McConaughey, Snoop Dogg and Zac Efron.

Three-time Tony Award nominee Andy Karl, last seen on Broadway in Groundhog Day, has been cast as the male lead in the upcoming Pretty Woman: The Musical. He’ll play Edward Lewis (Richard Gere in the 1990 movie) opposite Samantha Barks’ Vivian (the role that made a superstar of Julia Roberts).

Karl, who won an Olivier Award for the London production of Groundhog Day and also starred in Broadway’s Saturday Night Fever, replaces Steve Kazee, who left the Pretty Woman production for family reasons, according to producers.

The new musical, which begins performances July 20 at the Nederlander Theatre, also stars Karl’s real-life wife Orfeh, a Tony nominee for Legally Blonde. Karl had seen the show in pre-Broadway workshops and the Chicago run.

“I always figured I’d be playing the part of ‘audience member’ for Pretty Woman,” Karl said. “When Paula Wagner and my longtime friend, Jerry Mitchell, asked...
