Finding a new streaming obsession is a lot of work. There’s the endless scrolling, followed by the inevitable questioning if you made the right choice once you finally pick something. We can relate all too well. While there are no guarantees in life, we have a recommendation that may help alleviate all of that guesswork and indecision. This particular recommendation comes from Stephen King, a man who knows a thing or two about storytelling. What’s more, this pick is based on a book written by Joe Hill, King’s son. Sure, some might be tempted to cry nepotism. But King is far from the only fan of today’s pick, which just so happens to be the AMC series NOS4A2. You can see his rave critique (which is sourced from one of the author’s Tweets) directly below!

Sickle cell disease plays a major role in The Pitt season 1, episode 2, but Max's new medical drama doesn't explain everything about the chronic disease. The Pitt, led by a very talented cast of characters, takes a very realistic and stark look at the state of the healthcare industry and the challenges healthcare providers face. The show has already touched on topics like the nursing shortage in The Pitt and the lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, so it clearly doesn't balk at tackling the difficult realities of the medical field. That makes it the perfect show to talk about misunderstood conditions like sickle cell disease.

In The Pitt episode 2, a Black woman is admitted to the emergency room while screaming and writhing in pain. Though the paramedics assume she is a drug addict looking for opioids, Dr. Samira Mohan...

AfraidRelease Year: 2024Director: Chris WeitzCast: John Cho, Katherine Waterston,...

The sci-fi horror film Afraid is the latest creepy offering from Blumhouse Productions. However, the movie seems to have fallen flat at the box office, becoming one of the company's lowest earning projects.

According to Variety, the movie was projected to earn 3.7 million domestically during its three-day opening weekend. It's four-day Labor Day holiday weekend gross was expected to be about $4.4 million. Afraid eventually brought in $1.3 million on its first day, with $400,000 coming from Thursday night previews. Internationally, the film earned $2.3 million from 19 different markets. The total is Blumhouse's worst ticket takings since Jem and the Holograms earned $1.4 million in 2015.

Blumhouse Games gives fans a glimpse at its slate of upcoming horror titles during the industry event Summer Game Fest.

Afraid, which has received largely negative reviews from critics, is written and directed by Chris Weitz. The movie is...

It’s extremely tempting to joke that AfrAId feels as though it is written and directed by artificial intelligence. Riddled with plot threads that go nowhere, characters whose arcs happen off-screen between scenes, and enough holes in its strained internal logic that it’s charitable to even say it retains...

Though it was hardly the first thriller to portray domesticity imperiled by an artificially intelligent “helper”, the runaway success of 2022’s “M3GAN” certainly lent that concept new commercial appeal. Unsurprisingly, Blumhouse isn’t waiting for next summer’s “M3GAN 2.0” to capitalize on its own success. Writer-director Chris Weitz’s “Afraid” (recently retitled with an “AI” spin from the previously announced “They Listen”) stars John Cho and Katherine Waterston as a married couple whose home is selected to test a new “digital family assistant.” Needless to say, it soon develops a dangerous mind of its own.

This less tongue-in-cheek traipse through formulaic sci-fi horror terrain works well enough to a point, its setup nicely handled by Weitz and his cast. But when crises start occurring at the halfway mark, they pile on too quickly to underwhelming effect, sacrificing credibility for excitement that never really materializes. Opening without press screenings, the...

In Afraid, Curtis (John Cho) and his family are selected to test a revolutionary new home device: a digital family assistant called Aia. Taking smart home to the next level, once the unit and all its sensors and cameras are installed in their home, Aia seems able to do it all. She learns the family’s behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing – and no one – gets in her family’s way.

Also starring Katherine Waterston, Havana Rose Liu, Lukita Maxwell, Ashley Romans, Greg Hill, Riki Lindhome, Wyatt Lindner, Isaac Bae, Todd Waring, and David Dastmalchian, with Keith Carradine, check out the new trailer.

Directed and written by Chris Weitz (About A Boy and The Twilight Saga: New Moon), the film is produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum and Andrew Miano.

ABC is passing on its pilots.

The network has passed on Anthony Anderson-fronted Public Defenders and Ellie Kemper-led Keeping It Together, which is a remake of British comedy Motherland, as well as dramas The Hurt Unit, starring Melissa George and Ben McKenzie, and Judgement starring Sex/Life’s Sarah Shahi.

ABC Signature is, however, planning to shop The Hurt Unit to other networks and platforms, while 20th Television will be shopping Public Defenders and Judgement.

The move comes as it still has decisions to make on series Home Economics and The Rookie: Feds as well as The Good Lawyer, which was a backdoor pilot spinoff of The Good Doctor.

Last month, ABC handed a series order to Drew Goddard’s pilot High Potential, starring Kaitlin Olson. The project, which is based on the popular French detective series Hip, was the clear front-runner all development season.

[Editor’s Note: The following interview contains spoilers for the “Mrs. Davis” series finale — Episode 8, “The Final Intercut: So I’m Your Horse” — including the ending.]

Throughout “Mrs. Davis,” the titular app out to save or destroy mankind is never thoroughly explained. We know it’s relied upon by billions of users worldwide. We know it’s a piece of artificial intelligence so advanced it appears all-knowing and all-powerful. We know many consider it responsible for ending wars and famines, we know it grants wishes, and we know its ultimate gift is a pair of digital wings, which anoint the angelic owners as top-tier users.

What we don’t know is where it came from, who made it, or what it was made to do. Given everything else going on during the first seven episodes of “Mrs. Davis” — a quest for the Holy Grail, episode-long flashbacks about a sneaker commercial, this guy, this other guy, and that whole thing with...

"Mrs. Davis" is built on a wild premise that somehow manages to only get crazier as the show goes on. The series tells the story of a nun named Simone (Betty Gilpin) determined to destroy an all-powerful artificial intelligence - and along the way, she finds herself tasked with finding and destroying the Holy Grail itself. From the get-go, the show promises a fantastic and chaotic ride, but even the most imaginative viewer (or advanced AI) probably couldn't have dreamed up what actually happens in the show's eighth and final episode.

Over the course of the show, Simone has been trying to find the Holy Grail because Mrs. Davis, the artificial intelligence in question, told her to. In exchange for the Grail, Mrs. Davis promises to grant Simone one wish. Simone has a vendetta against Mrs. Davis because she believes the algorithm killed her father, a magician, so she becomes...

In the trailer (above), a skeptical Simone is told she is the only person on the planet who can fulfill the quest of locating the Holy Grail. Along the way, she decides to take a path of resistance. “Mrs. Davis is all knowing and all powerful. She not only knows you are coming for her, but she wants you to,” Gilpin is warned.

You are not a robot, and a computer is not your boss. “Mrs. Davis” is here to remind you of that. Peacock’s upcoming sci-fi dramedy got an exciting and funny new trailer on Tuesday that will make you want to smash your phone and throw it in a river to free yourself from the tyranny of the algorithm.

“Mrs. Davis” stars Emmy nominee Betty Gilpin (“Glow”) as Sister Simone, a nun whose calling is to fight for humanity against the titular Mrs. Davis, an all-powerful artificial intelligence with nefarious intentions. It’s all too easy for it to get humans to hand over their free will. Mrs. Davis is it, not her; it’s important to avoid anthropomorphizing a computer program, as characters remind each other in the trailer. “Don’t give it a name,” an angry Australian man tells Simone. “No one calls Facebook ‘Doug.’”

Sci-fi writer Damon Lindelof has made quite the name for himself since he's arrived on the scene, tackling incredibly popular material such as the hit show "Lost", Ridley Scott's "Alien" prequel "Prometheus," and most recently HBO's brilliant sequel series "Watchmen." Should anyone still be on the fence about Lindelof's talents after some high-profile misses like "Cowboys & Aliens," "Star Trek Into Darkness," and 2015's "Tomorrowland," well, I implore you to check out his work on "The Leftovers," which has earned him the benefit of the doubt for the foreseeable future as far as I'm concerned.

The next item on Lindelof's agenda, however, appears both of a piece and miles apart from his previous output. Peacock suddenly seems like the belle of the streaming wars ball, riding high off the success of Rian Johnson's "Poker Face" series. Now, the streaming service is partnering up with Lindelof on its most out-there premise yet.

A couple weeks ago, the Peacock streaming service unveiled a teaser trailer for their upcoming series Mrs. Davis, which is set to make its premiere on April 20th… and that teaser really didn’t show us anything from the show. Thankfully, a full trailer for Mrs. Davis has now arrived online, and this one actually gives us an idea of the what the show’s tone, characters, and story are going to be like. You can check it out in the embed above.

First Looks

Peacock dropped a first-look teaser for the new series “Mrs. Davis,” which will premiere at SXSW on March 14 and debut...

Betty Gilpin starred in the thriller The Hunt, which was co-written by Damon Lindelof, and now she and Lindelof have teamed up again for the Peacock streaming service series Mrs. Davis, which is set to make its premiere on April 20th. With that premiere date drawing near, a teaser trailer for Mrs. Davis has arrived online – but don’t expect to learn much about the show from this teaser trailer. A lot about the series is still being kept under wraps. But if you’re interested in being teased, the trailer can be seen in the embed above.

According to Deadline, “the teaser is described as a high concept featurette that introduces Mrs. Davis to viewers and invites them to join her quest. The 30-second clip appears to show people from across the globe being handed an earpiece as someone tells them ‘she wants to talk to you.’“

On the heels of “Poker Face,” Peacock is back with another hotly anticipated, highly promising dramedy that’s something like a high-end version of a broadcast procedural. Spiritually minded sci-fi series “Mrs. Davis” comes to the streaming service on April 20. Peacock released the series’ first teaser trailer on Wednesday.

The teaser features a number of people all over the world handing other people airpods and saying, “She wants to talk to you.” The call is coming at an inconvenient time for some of these people, like a comedian during her set and a bride during her wedding, but everyone is ecstatic to hear from this mysterious lady. At the end of the teaser, the letters “AI” briefly appear on a black title screen, then the rest of the title flashes into focus: “Mrs. Davis.” That’s her. She’s an artificial intelligence with a sinister plot to enslave humanity, one gamified,...

Peacock is kicking the marketing for its new drama series, Mrs. Davis, into high gear.

In a new teaser trailer for the highly-anticipated drama shared this week, we see people around the world being handed an earphone.

"She wants to talk to you," is what everyone hears from the person handing over said earphones.

It's a unique hook, but it doesn't give us any insight into what to expect when the series gets underway next month.

Mrs. Davis is described as "an exploration of faith versus technology — an epic battle of biblical and binary proportions."

Betty Gilpin stars alongside Jake McDorman and Andy McQueen as Simone, a nun who goes to battle against an all-powerful Artificial Intelligence known as "Mrs. Davis."

McDorman plays Gilpin's rebellious ex, who also has a personal vendetta against the Algorithm.

Andy McQueen also stars, while the recurring cast includes Ben Chaplin, Margo Martindale, David Arquette,...

If there’s one thing that Damon Lindelof is known for, it’s making really great shows that can also get really, really weird. And based on the latest teaser released Wednesday, his new Peacock show “Mrs. Davis” looks like it might be the “Leftovers” and “Watchmen” creator’s most oddball project yet.

Co-created by Lindelof and “The Big Bang Theory” and “Young Sheldon” writer Tara Hernandez, “Mrs. Davis” stars “Glow” alum Betty Gilpin not as the title character but as Simone, a nun who is dead set on defeating the title character, who happens to be a powerful Artificial Intelligence program slowly taking over the entire world. Jake McDorman co-stars with Gilpin as Simone’s ex-boyfriend, rodeo cowboy Wiley, but neither actor makes an appearance in the 30-second teaser which, according to Peacock, does not consist of any actual footage from the show.

Instead, the ominous teaser sees various...

“She wants to talk to you.” That’s the message of the official teaser for Peacock’s upcoming original series Mrs. Davis. In the video, which you can watch above and doesn’t feature any footage from the show, people are told just that and handed earbuds. After everyone reacts happily, the viewer is then offered the same invitation to join Mrs. Davis’ quest. The streaming service also announced that you, too, can talk to the all-powerful Artificial Intelligence that only wants to make your life better by visiting www.MrsDavis.com. The new genre-bending series, premiering with four episodes on Thursday, April 20, comes from showrunner Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof. It follows a nun named Simone (Betty Gilpin) on an epic quest to destroy the world’s most powerful Artificial Intelligence known as “Mrs. Davis.” It also stars Jake McDorman (Wiley) and Andy McQueen (Jay). Ben Chaplin, Margo Martindale,...

Peacock released a teaser trailer for the new Damon Lindelof series “Mrs. Davis,” introducing the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence of the same name.

In the 30-second clip, no footage from the actual series is shown. Instead, various people around the world walk up to another person – in a town square, at a wedding, in the middle of a stand-up comedy show – and say, “She wants to talk to you.”

The “she” in question is Mrs. Davis herself, in the form of an AirPod-like earpiece. After accepting the earpiece, which they always do, the people look thrilled, shocked and/or excited.

The high-concept series from the creator of “Lost,” “The Leftovers” and “Watchmen” stars Betty Gilpin (“Glow”) as Simone, a nun whose mission is to destroy Mrs. Davis. Jake McDorman (“Dopesick”) and Andy McQueen (“Station Eleven”) co-star in what has been described as a “wildly original and genre-bending journey.

Mrs. Davis wants to talk to you.

Peacock released the first teaser on Wednesday for its upcoming series from Damon Lindelof, Mrs. Davis. But if you were hoping to get another glimpse of, well, any footage from the show, you won’t find it here.

Instead, the teaser is described as a “high concept” featurette that introduces Mrs. Davis to viewers and “invites them to join her quest.” The 30-second clip appears to show people from across the globe being handed an earpiece as someone tells them “she wants to talk to you.”

Mrs. Davis is described as “an exploration of faith versus technology — an epic battle of biblical and binary proportions.” Betty Gilpin plays Simone, a nun who goes to battle against an all-powerful Artificial Intelligence known as “Mrs. Davis.”

Gilpin will star alongside Jake McDorman, who plays Gilpin’s rebellious ex, who also has a personal vendetta against the Algorithm.

Exclusive: Ashley Romans (Y: The Last Man) has been cast as a series regular opposite Ben McKenzie, Melissa George, Michelle Ortiz and Augustus Prew in ABC’s medical drama pilot The Hurt Unit. She replaces Bull alumna Jaime Lee Kirchner who had been originally cast in the pilot, written by Matt Lopez and John Glenn and to be directed by Marc Webb.

According to sources, Kirchner exited over creative differences during production. Her scenes will be reshot with Romans. While unfortunate, recastings are relatively common and a part of the pilot process.

The Hurt Unit follows a highly skilled team of trauma surgeons and nurses led by Danny (McKenzie), a self-made surgeon, who race into the field to treat the patients who won’t make it to the hospital in time. When the sick and the injured can’t get to the ER, the Hurt Unit (Hospital Urgent Response Team) brings the ER to them.

Mrs. Davis, the new show from Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof and Young Sheldon writer Tara Hernandez, was initially rejected by another streaming service for a creepy reason. Peacock is having a bit of a moment right now, at least in terms of its creative output. The platform is riding a wave of positive reviews thanks to Poker Face, the case-of-the-week mystery from Rian Johnson and starring Natasha Lyonne. It's similarly enjoying a bit of buzz from reality series The Traitors, which is delightfully hosted by Alan Cumming, and the surreal comedy Paul T. Goldman.

Peacock will hope to keep that momentum going in a few months as it premieres Mrs. Davis on April 20. Co-created by Lindelof and Hernandez, with Glow star Betty Gilpin in the lead role, Mrs. Davis centers on a battle between nuns and artificial intelligence. But according to actor Jake McDorman, via The Wrap, that premise was...

If you remember the beginning of the year, you might recall that Betty Gilpin (Glow) was set to star in Mrs. Davis, a Peacock series from Damon Lindelof and Tara Hernandez that dealt with a nun battling an all-powerful artificial intelligence. Sounds… interesting. Well, Peacock has announced the release date of Mrs. Davis as well as shared a few first-look photos of the upcoming series.

Described as “an exploration of faith versus technology — an epic battle of biblical and binary proportions,“ Mrs. Davis stars Betty Gilpin as Simon, a nun who goes to battle against an all-powerful artificial intelligence known as “Mrs. Davis.” The series will debut on April 20th. Check out a few first-look photos of Mrs. Davis below.

The series also stars Jake McDorman, who plays Simone’s rebellious ex, who also has a personal vendetta against the A.I. David Arquette, Elizabeth Marvel, Andy McQueen, Ben Chaplin,...

The first images from Mrs. Davis highlight Betty Gilpin as a nun at war with artificial intelligence. Even in a crowded television landscape, with new shows debuting all the time featuring big stars and top-notch creatives, Mrs. Davis drew a lot of attention as it hails from Young Sheldon writer Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof, who is known for his work as the showrunner of Lost and the creator of HBO's Emmy-winning Watchmen adaptation. Gilpin's involvement in her first leading role in a drama series since the abrupt cancelation of Glow is another draw that bolsters the wild premise.

According to Deadline, Peacock has unveiled the first images of Mrs. Davis, which tease a battle between nuns and artificial intelligence. In the photos below, Gilpin looks ready to fight, reminiscent of her action star turn in The Hunt. But she isn't the only one, as another photo shows her character...
