Described as a “genre-bending relationship drama,” the film stars Britt Baron (“Glow”), Allen Leech (“Downton Abbey”) and Karan Soni (“A Nice Indian Boy”). “Ignis” recently wrapped production in Los Angeles.

“As an actor, I’ve always been drawn to the emotional undercurrents that make us human. With ‘Ignis,’ I wanted to explore those same currents — but this time, from the director’s chair,” Borelli said in a statement. “This story is about love, but also about truth,...

A fresh glimpse at Daddy, the highly anticipated sci-fi dark comedy, has dropped—and it's already turning heads.

From Firehouse 51 to a Dystopian Nightmare—Sardarov’s Bold New Role

Starring Chicago Fire alum Yuriy Sardarov, best known as fan-favorite firefighter Brian “Otis” Zvonecek, the film takes Sardarov far from the familiar chaos of Firehouse 51 and into an unsettling dystopian retreat where paranoia reigns supreme. In a newly released clip from Binge, Sardarov’s character, Sebastian, showcases a raw, commanding presence as tensions boil over among the group of would-be fathers stranded in the remote California wilderness. Left without instructions in their government-mandated retreat, the men spiral into confusion, self-doubt, and intense competition to prove their worthiness as potential parents. Sardarov leans into the madness, delivering an intense performance fueled by his character's desperate need for control, as you can see in the clip below.

Cobra Kai Season 6 is finally here and it’s even better than the last one, which no one thought was possible. The Netflix series follows the story of Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who has kind of left bullying and turned into a karate instructor. The series continues the story of the 1984 film The Karate Kid, in which Johnny lost the “All Valley Karate Tournament” to his enemy Daniel (Ralph Macchio). In the series, Johnny inspires weak kids to learn karate so that they can stand up to their bullies and fight to protect themselves. Still, everything goes wrong in a very entertaining way and many iconic characters from the Karate Kid movies appear in the series. So, if you love the teen drama, action comedy, and martial arts in Cobra Kai here are some similar shows you could watch while waiting for Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2.

The experience of watching live sports is thrilling enough but time and time again TV shows have proven that a scripted series about a fictional team giving their all to a game while standing side-by-side is also very entertaining. There have been countless great sports TV shows like Friday Night Lights and Ted Lasso that have brought us joy and the feeling of camaraderie that we all want. That’s why we thought of making a list of the 10 very best sports TV shows that you shouldn’t miss out on.

Friday Night Lights Credit – NBC

Friday Night Lights is a sports drama series created by Peter Berg. Inspired by a 1990 nonfiction book titled Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream by author H.G. Bissinger, the NBC, and The 101 Network series is set in the fictional small Texas town of Dillon and it follows the story of...

Let the record show that despite embodying one of the most well-known (and well-armed) protagonists in video game history, Final Fantasy VII’s stoic ex-soldier Cloud Strife, Cody Christian, does not carry around his own six-foot-long, one-foot-wide Buster Sword to solve his problems. No. Instead, the actor admits that he deals with the ebbs and flows of life and career in a much more humble way. “There’s [a] honesty and vulnerability that we see in Cloud,” said Christian. “[And] I think they’re very powerful and relatable on such a human level. I’ve experienced things very much similar to what Cloud is going through in my real life. And I don’t wield the Buster Sword, and I’m not fighting Shrina to save the world. I’m similar in a lot of ways where I could put this tough look on. But the reality is if you talk to me,...

Briana White would be lying if she said that sometimes carrying the weight of playing the iconic flower girl, Aerith Gainsborough, didn’t affect her at all. But miraculously, after metaphorically stepping into the character’s well-traveled leather boots these last four years from Final Fantasy VII Remake to its recent predecessor Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, she’s gained the strength to manage. “[It’s] really hard sometimes for me as an actor to let go of all the expectation and let go of what everyone might be thinking about or perceiving about a specific scene,” said White. “It’s one of the biggest challenges, but something that’s so crucial to the performance is being able to let go of everything outside the booth. I consider myself to be very resilient…I think that’s something Aerith [and I] have in common.”

[Spoiler Alert: This interview includes details about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth]

The highly anticipated action-adventure RPG Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has finally been unleashed into the Chocobo wilds.

Rebirth, the second game in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy that serves as a three-part reimagining of the original 1997 game, follows everyone’s favorite ragtag eco-terrorists Cloud (Cody Christian), Barret (John Eric Bentley), Tifa (Britt Baron), Aerith (Briana White) and Red Xiii (Max Mittelman) as they make the perilous journey to The Forgotten Capital in hopes to stop the legendary solider and deranged superhuman Sephiroth from plunging the planet into chaos.

Bringing the Final Fantasy VII Remake project to fruition was no easy feat as developers had to tackle maintaining a balance between the beloved story that has permeated video game pop culture for nearly three decades and creating new experiences for a new generation of fans while expanding on the original material for diehards. Much like its predecessor, the scope of...

Anchor Bay Entertainment has acquired worldwide rights to “Daddy,” a sci-fi film that will be released in 2024.

The news comes as Anchor Bay is being relaunched after Umbrelic Entertainment chiefs Thomas Zambeck and Brian Katz bought the company’s trademark. Anchor Bay was included in Starz’s 2016 sale to Lionsgate. Under Zambeck and Katz, Anchor Bay is looking to release genre films and cult favorites.

In the case of “Daddy,” the movie was co-written and co-directed by Neal Kelley and Jono Sherman in their feature debut. It stars Yuriy Sardarov (“Chicago Fire”), Jacqueline Toboni (“The L Word: Generation Q”), Pomme Koch (“WeCrashed“) and Britt Baron (“Glow”).

The film is set in a dystopian society where the state has the power to determine who can and cannot father children. Four men attend a government-mandated retreat in the remote mountains of California. When they arrive, there’s no guide or instructions waiting for them.

Fan-casting a live-action Final Fantasy 7 movie is amusing, although replicating some characters in live-action form may be challenging. For example, Cody Christian, Briana White, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo have the acting chops to convincingly portray Cloud Strife, Aerith Gainsborough, and Tifa Lockhart in a live-action adaptation. Cody Fern, Winston Duke, and Max Mittelman would bring the right blend of charisma and talent to play Sephiroth, Barret Wallace, and Red Xiii in a live-action Final Fantasy 7 movie.

Whether it should stay an animated property or not, there's something inherently amusing about fan-casting a live-action Final Fantasy 7 movie. While some characters seem near-impossible to replicate in live-action form, there are some performers out there with the acting chops to pull off a convincing Final Fantasy 7 adaptation. In fact, fan-casts for the Square Enix game stretch back to when it was first released in 1997. Not only is FF7 one...

Ahead of the game’s Feb 29, 2024 launch, Square Enix invited Deadline to play through two early sections of the upcoming title– that also debuted at this year’s Tokyo Game Show—which serves as the second part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. The new game starts right where Final Fantasy VII Remake left off with Team Avalanche’s Cloud (Cody Christian), Aerith (Briana White), Tifa (Britt Baron), Barret (John Eric Bentley) and Red Xiii (Max Mittelman) leaving Midgar to confront the boundless, terrifying freedom that awaits them on their journey to The Forgotten Capital.

Below, we showcase some key (or “kweh!” for all the Chocobo lovers) moments and updated features from our demo preview.

Valentine's Day means different things to different people. For some, it's a joyous celebration of the people in their lives. For others, it's a painful reminder of loves lost and broken hearts. Then, for the rest of us, it's a springboard for silly slashers about lovesick killers. Second only to Christmas, Valentine's Day might well be the most popular holiday in slasher flicks. The innate tension between treacly intimacy and gonzo gore is too good an opportunity to pass up, and for time immemorial, creatives have merged both love and fear in increasingly twisted ways.

Some recent editions to the horror canon, like "Bones and All" and "Spring," while not strictly speaking Valentine's Day-themed, are deeply romantic, reminding audiences of how perfectly the two disparate emotions can coalesce into something amazing. Here, we'll be looking at horror movies specifically about the most romantic day of the year. From old school slashers to creepy,...

From the pilot episode to the recent series finale, Judith Grimes has been a handy bellwether for how much time has passed in "The Walking Dead." She started out as just an embryo, the result of a dalliance between Lori Grimes and Shane Walsh. Judith was finally born in a rather traumatic episode of "The Walking Dead" season 3, and steadily grew into a toddler over the next few seasons. A six-year time jump in the middle of season 9 boosted her to nine years old, and by the time the show signed off with season 11's "Rest in Peace," Judith is approximately 11 or 12 years old.

She also has a little brother, Rick Grimes Jr. (aka Rj), the result of Rick Grimes Sr. and Michonne coupling up. As of the end of the series, however, Rick Sr. still has no idea that he has a son, since he was blown off a...

Not too long ago, “Netflix will greenlight anything” was a strong enough meme that it was featured as a joke on actual Netflix shows like Lady Dynamite and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Now that meme is in danger of becoming “Netflix will cancel anything.”

The streaming giant today announced that it has canceled its two remaining Jenji Kohan-produced shows: Glow and Teenage Bounty Hunters, according to Deadline. The latter’s cancellation comes after just one season and the former’s cancellation arrives despite the show previously being confirmed for a fourth and final season.

In the case of Glow, the cancellation comes due to the coronavirus-related shutdowns and the difficulty of producing a highly physical show based on professional wrestling.

“We’ve made the difficult decision not to do a fourth season of Glow due to Covid, which makes shooting this physically intimate show with its large ensemble cast especially challenging,...

“Glow” will not proceed with Season 4 at Netflix as planned, Variety has confirmed.

The Emmy-nominated Netflix comedy series about a troupe of female professional wrestlers had originally been renewed for a fourth and final season, but plans for that season have now been scrapped due to production delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We’ve made the difficult decision not to do a fourth season of ‘Glow’ due to Covid, which makes shooting this physically intimate show with its large ensemble cast especially challenging,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement. “We are so grateful to creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, Jenji Kohan and all the writers, cast and crew for sharing this story about the incredible women of ‘Glow’ with us and the world.”

The show had been renewed for its last season last year. Production had begun on Season 4 earlier this year but was shut down early on due to the pandemic.

First things first: You would have to be one seriously hardhearted bastard not to love The Thing About Harry, Freeform’s belated gay Valentine (premiering Saturday, Feb. 15, at 8/7c). Its leads — Grey’s Anatomy’s Schmitt, Jake Borelli, and newcomer Niko Terho — have chemistry for days. The script, co-written by director and co-star Peter Paige (Good Trouble), goes down as easily as a box of chocolates. Rare is the bestie/wingwoman who’s as appealing as Britt Baron (Glow). And the movie’s “Will they or won’t they?” moments are way more loaded than they have any right to be.

The latest installment of Blumhouse Television's horror anthology series, Into the Dark, has us seeing red. The upcoming Valentine's Day installment, titled "My Valentine," takes a note from some of the biggest pop scandals over the past decade, and Popsugar has an exclusive first look. In the trailer, a singer named Valentine (Britt Baron) returns to the spotlight to find that her abusive ex-boyfriend and manager (Benedict Samuel) has stolen her music and artistic identity and re-created her entire persona with his new girlfriend, Trezzure (Anna Lore). After the three are locked in a small concert venue after hours, it doesn't take long for the knives to come out (literally) as they confront their past.

"'My Valentine' is an in-your-face, electric horror movie that tackles some hot button yet hugely personal topics," writer and director Maggie Levin said about the installment. "Growing up in the music and entertainment industry,...

The new year is barely underway, but Freeform — like chain drugstores everywhere — is eagerly anticipating Valentine’s Day. In that spirit, on Friday the cable network released a clip from its gay-themed V-Day original film The Thing About Harry.

The movie follows high school enemies Sam (Jake Borelli, Grey’s Anatomy) and Harry (newcomer Niko Terho), who are forced to share a car ride to their Missouri hometown for a friend’s Valentine’s Day engagement party. The twist? Harry has come out in the years since high school; Sam, as we learn in the video, did so much earlier.

Series creators, executive producers, and showrunners Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch will return in those roles for the final season, along with executive producers Jenji Kohan, Tara Herrmann, and Mark Burley.

“Glow” is inspired by the short-lived 1980s wrestling TV show of the same name, which stood for “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.” It follows the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress in Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom when she’s thrust into world of women’s wrestling. In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits,...

I’ve been a fan of Netflix’s Glow show since it first landed a couple of years ago on the platform. It’s a total joyous, wild, funny, gritty and dramatic program that ticks so many of the boxes I look for in my television drama. Oh, and it’s about pro-wrestling, something else I’m pretty damn fond of. So, I was of course clicking the play button the moment Season 3 landed on Netflix this August.

It’s one of those shows where you simply cannot just watch one episode. It’s as binge-worthy as they come, and the whole “just another episode” concept was in full motion when I sat down to watch the new season, and I finished it in two sittings. Season three retains the high quality storytelling that we’ve become accustomed to with the previous seasons, and yet it manages to up the grittiness,...

Glow just debuted its third season on August 9th, but will there be a fourth? Recently, co-creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the future of the Netflix TV show.

The dramedy follows Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie), a struggling out-of-work actress as she auditions for, trains and eventually makes the first-ever women’s wrestling TV show. The cast also includes Betty Gilpin, Sydelle Noel, Jackie Tohn, Britney Young, Kia Stevens, Gayle Rankin, Sunita Mani, Marianna Palka, Kimmy Gatewood, Rebekka Johnson, Kate Nash, Britt Baron, Marc Maron, Chris Lowell, Rich Sommer, and Bashir Salahuddin.

This post contains full spoilers for Glow Season Three, which Netflix released on Friday.

In the closing moments of Glow‘s third season, Britney Young’s Carmen announces plans to leave the show-within-the-show because, she says, “I want to wrestle, and I can’t do that here anymore.”

Carmen’s in a unique position among the Netflix dramedy’s main characters. Almost everyone else fell into wrestling by accident, or for lack of a better option, where Carmen grew up in the wrestling world and loves it for its own sake.

If you jump into Glow Season 3 without having watched the first two seasons, you might think Glow stands for the lights of the gleaming Las Vegas Strip.

Wrestling is more of an afterthought now that the ladies have reached new, dizzying heights headlining a Las Vegas revue.

The different locale impacts the series overall allowing for deeper character insight but at the cost of what makes Glow glow. The fun factor takes a hit.

To headline a Las Vegas show, you need a product that plays night after night. There isn't room for mistakes because even one error can end the production.

Like a Broadway play, the performers put on show after show and do the same, repetitive routines. That's what a Vegas show is all about.

Unfortunately for the series, the gorgeous ladies of wrestling are just like the other ladies on the strip.

Exclusive: James Andrew Felts’ Motion Picture Exchange (Mpx) has acquired worldwide sales rights to Aftermath, the Peter Winther-directed thriller that stars Ashley Greene and Shawn Ashmore. It is the first film from producers Peter and Lars Winther’s newly launched Winther Brothers Entertainment, and Rick Sasner of River Run Entertainment.

Principal photography is just getting underway. Winther developed the story with Dakota Gorman, who wrote the screenplay. The thriller centers on a young couple (Greene and Ashmore) struggling to stay together, when they are offered an amazing deal on a home with a questionable past that would normally be beyond their means. In a final attempt to start fresh as a couple they take the deal. However, soon after moving in, the couple falls prey to strange and disturbing occurrences, and eventually learn that the house has a more troubling history than either of them anticipated.

Last year Netflix’s “Glow” reaped eight Emmy nominations, including Best Comedy Series and Best Comedy Supporting Actress for Betty Gilpin, winning prizes for its production design and stunts. Yet stars Alison Brie and Marc Maron were nowhere to be found in the respective lead and supporting categories, despite bids at the Golden Globes (Brie) and SAG (Brie and Maron). With the second season garnering even better reviews than the first, voters should make up for their shocking snubs.

Year two of the ’80s set comedy about lady wrestlers provides Brie with some primo material to work with. Ruth Wilder, the aspiring actress who hits her stride while in the ring, gets her ankle broken by her scorned best friend (Gilpin), fights off the advances of a leering network executive, explores new creative outlets by directing the show-within-a-show, and finds new love with a sweet-natured...
