Recently, Deadline reported that their sources said that the latest Disney+ Star Wars Show, “The Acolyte,” would not be getting a second season. Contrary to many “news” articles blaming men, this is likely because the show was not watched as much as it needed to by general audiences.

If a search is done for “The Acolyte,” article after article appears, usually by some “journalist” using their employer’s site as a pulpit to scream about the “toxic, misogynistic, racist, incel, men, ‘fans’ who somehow are the “vocal minority” yet were solely responsible for the show being canceled.

But the data has seemingly pointed to a lack of audience for the show. The general audiences, who aren’t even participating in the discourse online, did not watch the show.

I would even argue that those who did not like the show were still among those watching it and counted to the numbers.

It's a sad day for fans of The Acolyte, the latest Star Wars series to debut on Disney+. Deadline reports that the streamer and Lucasfilm have decided not to move forward with a second season of the series. That's a pretty quick cancelation decision considering that The Acolyte only aired its finale just over a month ago. It's not wholly unexpected, considering the divisive reaction the series garnered, along with its diminishing viewership numbers.

According to Deadline, The Acolyte's two-episode debut brought in around 4.8 million views on its release day, which was the largest series debut of the year on Disney+. That number rose to over 11.1 million views after five days, and continued to hold strong enough to put the show onto the Nielsen Top 10 for the first two weeks of its release, at Number 7 and Number 6, respectively. According to Nielsen, the show was watched for around 488 million minutes viewed during that first week,...

It seems that Disney’s latest “Star Wars” show, “The Acolyte,” will not be getting a second season, according to Deadline.

Deadline reports that “sources” have told them that Disney has decided not to renew the controversial Star Wars show.

“The story of The Acolyte will not continue, with Lucasfilm opting not to proceed with a second season of the Star Wars offshoot starring Amandla Stenberg, sources tell Deadline.”

Why is it not being renewed for more seasons?

While many will decry the “haters” as the reason for its ending, the reality is likely the show’s poor viewership. It was one of the lowest-performing “Star Wars” shows for Disney+.

“The Acoylte” only made Nielson’s top 10 lists for half of the episodes, and only one of those was in the show’s final half. According to Star Wars News Net, the first two episodes, the third episode, and the...

However, what really catches the eye is the cast information that Michael shared, revealing a long list of other actors currently on board at the studio.

Some names stand out immediately, like John-Paul Lavoisier, hinting at a possible return as Philip Kiriakis. Another familiar face making a comeback is Kim Coles as Whitley King, a move that aligns perfectly with her passion for Body and Soul.

With Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Kate Roberts Brady (Lauren Koslow) determined to revive the beloved fake soap, it’s not hard to picture Whitley’s return being set up.

House Of The Dragon Season 2 Gets Lesser Views Than Pilot Season(Photo Credit –Instagram)

HBO’s House of the Dragon Season 2 finally premiered on Sunday, and the viewership tally is in; however, the numbers are less than Season 1’s viewership by a considerable margin. It is the prequel to the popular series Game of Thrones, a pop culture phenomenon and one of the most discussed shows online. Scroll below for the deets.

Season 1 premiered in 2022 and was received positively by viewers. The events of that show take place 172 years before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen and 200 years before the events of Got. The show has an ensemble of cast members, including Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and Emma D’Arcy. The second season’s premiere episode saw the Greens and Blacks a little edgy, setting their strategies while Rhaenyra grieves her son Lucerys’ death.

According to Variety’s report, House of the...

Sin City has officially hit the jackpot. TV Line reports that CSI: Vegas has ended on a high after it was announced that it was cancelled. The unplanned series finale aired on Sunday night, where the audience rose by 16% to deliver a series high of 4.8 million total viewers. The series finale has left the fans with a cliffhanger. CBS cancelled CSI: Vegas despite a solid performance in ratings and viewership. Although it drew over 6 million viewers and ranked 21st in linear Nielson viewership, that was not enough to save them from cancellation. CSI: Vegas was among the lesser-watched CBS dramas, and was one of the first in line for the chopping block.

Young Sheldon has gone out with a "bazinga!" Deadline reports that The Big Bang Theory prequel series has hit a four-year audience high after an emotional season finale. The show said farewell to its fans on Thursday night in the two-episode finale after seven seasons, which drew in 8.95M viewers according to the live and same-day Nielson data. The finale almost became the most-watched episode of Young Sheldon in four years since the Season 3 finale in April 2020, which scored 10.15M same-day viewers. The finale also scored above average viewers of Season 7 overall. Each episode of the final season scored around 7M viewers per episode. Paramount+ streams also went up 39% over the week prior and 50% in comparison to a year ago. Fans knew it would be time to say goodbye to Young Sheldon and they did not want to miss out.

What can Disney say to cinema owners except “you’re welcome“? After all, the studio is revisiting the island of Montunui, where “Moana” takes place, a lot sooner than movie theaters were expecting.

Earlier this year, the studio announced a surprise sequel to the 2016 animated feature for release on Nov. 27. The follow-up was initially commissioned as a television series for Disney+ but it was retooled into a feature film after executives were reportedly impressed by the footage.

Disney shared the first look at the scenes that wowed those Magic Kingdom creatives during its CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas on Thursday. In the music-heavy clip, Moana returns to her home island of Montunui and is greeted with a hero’s welcome. The clip offered a taste of one new song, which appears to be about the wayfinding natives eager to be “back to who we’re meant to be.” Although the...

In 2020, during the peak of the entertainment industry’s love affair with streaming, a follow-up to Disney’s animated hit “Moana” was destined to become a television series for Disney+.

But like the movie’s shapeshifting demigod Maui, who traverses the seven seas with the eponymous Polynesian warrior, the project has transformed into something entirely new. In a surprise move, the follow-up to “Moana” has been retooled into a feature film, which is set to debut in theaters on Nov. 27.

It’s a boon for cinemas after last summer’s strikes forced studios to postpone plenty of blockbusters to 2025 and beyond. It also signals Disney’s renewed excitement for the big screen at a time when Hollywood has started to prefer the economics of selling movie tickets to a business model that was all about trying to steal Netflix’s thunder. “Moana 2” joins the studio’s upcoming “Alien” spinoff “Romulus” and 2022’s horror film “Barbarian,...

Peacock recently shared that its murder mystery competition series, The Traitors, has clinched the No. 1 spot as the unscripted series viewed the most across all streaming platforms. According to Nielson, “The reality competition series, hosted by Alan Cumming, also ranked as the No. 9 streaming original series for overall minutes viewed in its first full week on the platform.” The all-star reality cast has also proven to be a major boom for the series, with viewership up 75% in comparison to season 1. Peacock has grown in popularity in recent years, with more original content on the rise, as well as coverage of professional sports. The streamer shared, “Peacock recently drew an average audience of 23 million for the Jan. 13 AFC Wild Card game and, in the process, set a record with 30% of all Internet use being used to watch the game.” The Traitors, alongside Peacock’s new scripted series Ted, have made history for the NBCUniversal streaming service,...

With its academic interviewees and mini-histories, J.M. Harper’s directorial debut “As We Speak,” about the weaponizing of rap lyrics in the courts, has the trappings of rigor. But not unlike its subject, the documentary’s power, beauty and complexity lie in Harper’s use of rhetoric and lyricism. The film editor of the Emmy-nominated series “Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy” has made a willfully creative work that mimics the ways rap can be intimately observational, seemingly confessional even, but is also a feat of artistic expression.

The hip-hop artist and Bronx native Kemba acts as a guide and a character for “As We Speak,” which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. Utilizing Erik Nielson and Andrea Dennis’s book “Rap on Trial: Race, Lyrics and Guilt in America,” the film follows Kemba as he crisscrosses the nation to speak with fellow artists and then leaps the Atlantic to the U.

Dark Winds season 3 has officially been renewed by AMC, following the success of the previous two seasons. The series, based on Tony Hillerman's novels, revolves around two Navajo police officers investigating a double murder case in the 1970s Southwest. Unfortunately, audiences will have to wait until early 2025 for the premiere of season 3 due to the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes impacting writing and production.

Dark Winds season 3 has been renewed at AMC. Based on the books by Tony Hillerman, the series follows two Navajo police officers, Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) and Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon), whose spiritual beliefs are challenged as they investigate a double murder case in the Southwest during the 1970s. The Dark Winds cast also includes Jessica Matten, Deanna Allison, The Office's Rainn Wilson, Elva Guerra, and Noah Emmerich.

Now, shortly after the season 2 finale aired, Dark Winds season 3 has been renewed at AMC. According to The Hollywood Reporter,...

Nielsen reported that Grey's Anatomy, NCIS, and Cocomelon have dominated all major streaming charts for almost three years.

Since Sept. 3, 2020, Nielsen has been tracking the most watched titles on streaming platforms in the United States and discovered that those three series have made the ranking more than any other titles. Not a single week has passed since the first chart, which covers 157 weeks, that didn't feature Grey’s Anatomy, NCIS, or Cocomelon. Other titles that have spent the most time in the rankings include Criminal Minds, Supernatural, Gilmore Girls, Heartland, and The Big Bang Theory.

Ranked as one of the best medical shows by IMDb, Grey's Anatomy has the longest streak of consecutive weeks making the top 10. The show, which currently streams on Netflix, ranked as one of the most-watched TV shows for 144 weeks, only falling out of the top 10 for one week.

Getting spoofed is the ultimate compliment for a movie or genre because it means it was something worth making fun of. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, parodies are an absolute love letter to the source material, especially when it comes to sci-fi films that tend to have persnickety fans.

Horror, rom-coms, and disaster films have all had send-ups, but the sci-fi ones land the best because they come from a place of deep respect. It is impossible to successfully spoof something if there is disdain for it. The best sci-fi parodies were made by fans to show appreciation for the films that make it such a special genre.

Prime Video's Citadel season 1 cost more than $250 to produce, and a new report now sheds light on just how disappointing the show was in terms of its viewership. Executive produced by Joe and Anthony Russo, the directing duo behind mega hits like Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Citadel was positioned as Prime Video's next big hit. The spy thriller series, which stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, ultimately debuted to fairly lackluster reviews when it premiered back in April.

Now, a new report from Bloomberg reveals that Prime Video's Citadel, despite being one of the most expensive TV shows ever made and with backing from the Russos, failed to make much of an impression on audiences. According to Nielson, the report says, the show didn't appear as one of the 10 most-watched streaming shows in the U.S. any week since it hit the service.

Emerging Danish director Amalie-Maria Nielsen has been announced as the first recipient of a new Los Angeles-based scholarship, created in collaboration with the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (Kviff), talent agency UTA and management company Range Media Partners.

The production of Gladiator 2 suffered an accident on set that injured several members of the crew.

Per Variety, six crew members received treatment with four being hospitalized following a June 7 accident on the set of the Gladiator sequel. In a statement, a spokesperson for Paramount Pictures outlined that the crew members had all "experienced non-life-threatening injuries" after a stunt sequence went wrong. The statement continued, "The safety and full medical services teams on-site were able to act quickly so that those who were impacted immediately received necessary care," before promising that "they are all in stable condition and continue to receive treatment."

Unknown Mortal Orchestra have expanded their 2023 tour dates to include a North American run this fall. The news arrives along with the Ruban Nielson-led project’s Tiny Desk Concert, which you can watch now.

After their final UK show in Belfast on September 3rd, Umo will come stateside, kicking off the leg on October 16th in Nashville. They’ll make stops across the south in cities including Atlanta, Orlando, New Orleans, Houston, Albuquerque, and more, wrapping things up on November 1st in Tucson. Tickets for the new tour dates are on sale now at Ticketmaster. Alternatively, can also find them at StubHub, where orders are 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program.

Although Umo are still pretty fresh off the release of their latest album V, their Tiny Desk set included some older fan favorites: “From the Sun,” “Thought Ballune,” “Little Blu House,” and “Necessary Evil,” before closing out with “Monki.

Following the turn of the millennium saw the horror genre sent up for all it had in the brilliantly titled Scary Movie. Headed by a collective of the Wayans brothers (having found success with their hood spoof in Don't Be a Menace in South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood), their sights turned to the teen horrors at the time and most notably Wes Craven's highly successful Scream and its antagonist Ghostface.

With its gross-out humor and stoned disposition, and based on a $19 million budget the first Scary Movie was hit with horny teens and smokers and raked in over $278 million worldwide. A green-fingered sequel was greenlit of the first film's success and the smutty series was off.

The following contains spoilers for FBI Season 5, Episode 23, "God Complex," which debuted May 23 on CBS.

For years, CBS aired NCIS at 8:00 on Tuesday evenings, but now Dick Wolf's original FBI series occupies that time slot. Over its first five seasons, FBI has gained quite the following and has been one of CBS' best performers. According to Nielson, it even surpasses NCIS' viewership numbers. As a testament to its success, FBI just crossed a major milestone. Its recently aired Season 5 finale was the series' 100th episode, which is an accomplishment for any series.

Titled, "God Complex," the 100th episode followed the team as they hunted down a twisted, religiously motivated serial killer. Meanwhile, Agent Scola had to make a difficult decision that could have affected his life forever. Here's what happened in the episode and how it affected the series' ensemble cast going into Season 6.

It looks like the "National Treasure" universe wasn't quite ready to expand. Deadline is reporting that the Disney+ spin-off series "National Treasure: Edge of History" has been cancelled after just one season. Guest stars like Harvey Keitel, Justin Bartha, and franchise newbie Catherine Zeta-Jones apparently weren't enough to save the tie-in series, which arrived a full 15 years after the second film in the Nicolas Cage-led franchise.

"National Treasure: Edge of History" followed Jess (Lisette Olivera), a second-generation treasure-keeper and first-generation Mexican-American immigrant who's tasked with continuing her father's legacy. The first season followed a mystery related to a necklace Jess inherited from her father, one that kickstarts an adventure with ties to secret societies, the Spanish Inquisition, the Battle of the Alamo, and much more. The teen-centric show aimed to capture a younger generation of fans, but with the news of its cancellation, one wonders if it came a...

When you think of Jack Reacher, you don't necessarily think of his sense of humor. Author Lee Child envisioned the lead character of his wildly popular books as a bulky, taciturn hero who travels the US after leaving the Army and runs into his fair share of trouble along the way. Not exactly the perfect setup for comedy. But according to Alan Ritchson, star of Prime Video's equally popular "Reacher" series, there's plenty of levity to be found in the world of Jack Reacher.

Tom Cruise's portrayal of the character in two movies didn't quite match the 250-pound, 6-foot-5-inches bruiser of the novels — which in and of itself is kind of funny, but certainly didn't amuse fans of the books. Luckily, Amazon fixed all that when they cast the 6-foot-3-inches, 235-pound Alan Ritchson to lead their show based on Child's books. And it wasn't just the...

Since its premiere last September, “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” has been proudly branded a hit by Amazon. Prime Video proclaimed that the fantasy series premiere day broke records for the streamer with 25 million viewers tuning in. As of March, Amazon has been calling it their biggest show ever, with over 100 million people worldwide tuning in. But streaming ratings are always nebulous, and a new report is calling the show’s success into question.

In the United States, only 37 percent of viewers who started “The Rings of Power” actually watched all eight episodes to completion, according to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter. The number was not shared directly from Amazon, but reportedly came from sources within the organization. Overseas, the completion rate was significantly better, but at 45 percent, less than half of all viewers were compelled to complete Amazon’s Middle-Earth adventure.

I know there are things wrong with my music,” says Ruban Nielson, vocalist and guitarist of psych-rock band Unknown Mortal Orchestra. “My mixing is bad, and my recording is purposefully amateurish sometimes, but I’m trying to concentrate on how to deliver something that feels worth saying.” The New Zealand-Hawaii singer is calling on Zoom from his dimly lit basement studio in Portland, where it’s just begun snowing. For Nielson, perfection has always taken a backseat when it comes to the band’s distinctive DIY sound, which he finds impossible to sum up. “I’ve always made up genre names,” he tells me, offering up suggestions like “Dad-wave” and “trouble-gum”. “Depression funk” is another fan-favourite.

If the latter is accurate, then Umo could now be considered masters in mental health music. The band are on album number five. The latest, V, a double offering, is stuffed full of warm,...

Stranger Things officially holds the record as the most-streamed show of 2022, according to new data. First released on Netflix in 2016, the Duffer Brothers' fantasy/ horror show would go on to become one of the streamer's most popular offerings. After an almost three-year wait since the previous season, Stranger Things season 4 was released on Netflix last year, following Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Will (Noah Schnapp), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Max (Sadie Sink), Hopper (David Harbour), and the rest of the gang as they face off against Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). The latest season was met with high praise from critics and sets up season 5, the show's last, which doesn't yet have a release date.

According to new streamer data gathered by Nielson (via Variety), Stranger Things is officially the most-streamed show of last year, clocking a staggering 52 billion minutes viewed. NCIS comes in at the number...

This post contains spoilers for "Stranger Things" season 4

"Stranger Things" is huge. To call it a phenomenon is even an understatement. The show helped in large part to usher in the wave of '80s nostalgia that blanketed the pop culture landscape prior to our current love affair with the 1990s. And it's still going strong. Season 4 Vol. 1, which launched in May of 2022 shattered a Nielson streaming record, with the release of Season 4 Vol. 2 crashing Netflix upon its debut.

We can't seem to get enough of the Duffer Brothers' sci-fi throwback, which to this day has far-reaching cultural implications beyond its impressive viewing figures. Season 4 managed to propel none other than Kate Bush back into the charts in multiple countries with its use of her track "Running Up That Hill" during an emotional episode in which the song helps bring Sadie Sink's Max out of a blank-faced trance in the Upside Down.

Bachelor in Paradise season 6 couple Caelynn Miller-Keyes and Dean Unglert are planning their wedding, and Caelynn is revealing some of the details. Caelynn and Dean got engaged on Oct. 24 on the Nā Pali Coast, Kauai Island, Hawaii. He chose to propose to her on that date because it was the 16th anniversary of his beloved mother Debbie's death from breast cancer. Dean and Caelynn have been together ever since they met on Bachelor in Paradise in 2019.

Caelynn and Dean had a strong connection when they met in Mexico. However, Dean broke up with Caelynn because he was afraid of hurting her. Dean later returned to ask her for another chance, and they left Paradise together to continue their relationship off-camera. Dean had been living the van life, and Caelynn happily joined him. They eventually bought a house in Nevada together in 2021. Rumors of an engagement and even marriage have swirled around the couple for years,...

Connie Nielsen is set to star in the psychological thriller “Follow Me” from Catalyst Studios.

The “Gladiator” and “Wonder Woman” star will play the lead role in the film, directed by auteur Siri Rødnes (“A Gambler’s Guide to Dying”). Sam Hunt and Stef Dawson, will co-star opposite Nielsen.

Principal photography will begin in Belgrade, Serbia, on Sept. 25. The film is being produced by Devin Digonno for Catalyst Studios. Holly Levow, Mark Pennell and Paul Kampf are executive producing.

Written by Catalyst’s Mark Pennell, “Follow Me” is described as a “tense” psychological thriller with “all the twists and turns of a classic Hitchcockian thriller, pushing boundaries and blurring the lines between relationships to reveal that money, secrets and deception is a deadly mix.”

Catalyst is the new banner from social entrepreneur Holly Levow, Mark Pennell and Paul Kampf. It was formed to produce compelling, high-quality, and commercial feature films.

Streaming platforms are in a rare position where they don’t necessarily have to report their viewing numbers since they are in control of their content and don’t have to answer to sponsors. While, normally, streaming companies would give vague titles for some content as being “most watched” or “highest trending,” for the first time, Amazon has revealed the rating for their new Prime show, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. This is in celebration of their newest series’ premiere.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the service has announced that 25 million people have watched the show globally on its first-day release. Comparatively, HBO had boasted that the new Game of Thrones series House of the Dragon had become the company’s biggest premiere with nearly 10 million viewers and reaching 10 million for the second episode. Amazon has made its series available in 240 territories across the world, where...

People say never to judge a book by its cover, but when it comes to TV shows, sometimes it's just as important not to judge them by their titles. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," for example, doesn't exactly sound like the groundbreaking and celebrated hero's journey that it is. Other shows like "Selfie," "Cougar Town," and the eventually mercifully renamed "Scrotal Recall" (it's called "Lovesick" now) are also way better than their titles would lead one to believe.

The same is true of 2012's short-lived ABC comedy "Don't Trust the B----- in Apartment 23," an outrageous, surreal, fast-paced sitcom starring Krysten Ritter, Dreama Walker, James Van Der Beek, and Eric Andre. Whereas some other titles oversell the wackier aspects of the shows in question, though, "Don't Trust the B" simply can't be tamed or contained by something as simple as a title.

If passed, the bill would restrict the ability of prosecutors in criminal cases, as well as lawyers in civil cases, to use song lyrics as evidence against musicians. That tactic is disproportionately employed against rappers,...
