David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin will return in for Ludwig series 2. More news can be found below these words.

David Mitchell has become a familiar face in UK comedy, whether trying to discern who’s telling the truth in Would I Lie To You? or as the uptight Mark Corrigan alongside long time comedy partner Robert Webb in Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain’s Peep Show.

He also took on the role of William Shakespeare in Ben Elton’s sitcom Upstart Crow, and reprised the role for a stage adaptation that opened in 2020 and then again when the play was restaged in 2022.

Just as Alan Davies took a left turn from stand-up comedy to drama in David Renwick’s superb Jonathan Creek, Mitchell recently moved into the realm of crime drama to play the title role in six part BBC series Ludwig.

Anna Maxwell Martin co-stars as Lucy Betts-Taylor,...

David Mitchell takes the lead role of John Taylor, a man who enjoys spending leisurely days focusing on puzzles and word games. Keeping to himself in the home of his youth, John’s world is suddenly upended one evening with an unexpected phone call from Lucy.

Her husband James, John’s identical twin brother, has mysteriously vanished without a trace. A police detective, Lucy, suspects James’ disappearance relates to a case he had been investigating covertly. With no one else to turn to, Lucy recruits the socially withdrawn John for an improbable plan.

Posing as his missing sibling, John must infiltrate the police department in hopes of finding clues to solve the mystery of James’ whereabouts. What begins as a reluctant impersonation soon pulls John deeper into the complex casework as his logical problem-solving skills prove valuable to the investigation.

This six-part BBC series follows John’s foray into adapting to his twin’s life,...

After more than a decade of living life on the edge in London, where she both found and lost love, Rona – now 30 – attempts to come to terms with her troubled past.

The synopsis reads as follows:

When...

A young woman sits on the beach in Orkney, the sea stretching out endlessly in front of her, a pair of headphones strapped to her ears, blaring electronic beats. We see this image repeated a couple of times in Nora Fingscheidt’s The Outrun and, in many ways, it represents the whole of the film—a conflict between the new and the old, the noise and motion of the modern world and space and stillness of the old. And then there’s the woman caught between these two converging currents, trying not to be pulled apart by them.

Rona (Saoirse Ronan) is a recovering alcoholic who’s returned to her familial home in Orkney after spinning out of control as a biology student in London. The story flows seamlessly back and forth between this newly sober chapter of her life and flashes of her time in London. At first, it...

"But there is only so much height any wave can sustain, before it comes crashing down." Sony Pictures Classics has revealed the official US trailer for The Outrun, which premiered at both the 2024 Sundance & Berlin Film Festivals earlier this year. It's the exact same trailer as the UK trailer from before but with new quotes. This acclaimed film is based on Amy Liptrot's memoir, the story of an alcoholic woman who returns to her homeland - the remote Orkney Islands located off the northern coast of Scotland at the very top of the UK. After living life on the edge in London, Rona attempts to come to terms with her past. She returns to the wild beauty of Orkney (where she grew up) hoping to heal. Starring Saoirse Ronan as Rona in one of her best performances yet. The Outrun is a searingly honest drama about addiction, survival and...

The Bear has to be one of the best series ever created. The FX comedy-drama series is intense, funny, tragic, and has some of the most beautiful-looking food I’ve ever seen. Created by Christopher Storer, The Bear follows the story of Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, an award-winning working in one of the best restaurants in the United States, as he moves back to Chicago to run his family-owned sandwich shop after a tragic incident. The Bear aired its third season recently, and I’m happy to say that the series is getting better with every new season. We are also happy that The Bear was renewed for a fourth season ahead of its Season 3 premiere. The Bear stars Jeremy Allen White in the lead role, with Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, Jon Bernthal, Oliver Platt, L-Boy, and Edwin Lee Gibson starring in supporting. So, if you love The Bear’s intensity,...

Jack Rooke’s sweet, award-winning sitcom Big Boys is returning for a third series, with Jack Rooke also making a fresh appearance.

Big Boys, Jack Rooke’s autobiographical sitcom about his experience at university, has been one of the comedic treats of the last few years.

Derry Girls star Dylan Llewellyn and Jon Pointing play two disparate young men, Jack and Danny, who find themselves as roommates in their first year of University. The former is closeted and sensitive, the latter is full of boorish bonhomie, but despite their differences they form a touching, tender bond, and Rooke’s writing covers everything from Jack exploring his sexuality to Danny’s mental health. The show recieved critical acclaim for Rooke’s refusal to adhere to the usual madculine stereotypes seen on TV and for highlighting mental health struggles.

It proved to be a hit for Channel 4, who quickly ordered a second series,...

Marking his directorial debut, director Misan Harriman opens The After with a familiar sight. Dayo (David Oyelowo) is a workaholic father who wears a suit and talks business on the phone, even while with his daughter. As he makes the decision to postpone a meeting in order to spend time with his family, that happiness is changed in a flash when tragedy strikes in violent ways.

The short film then cuts to a later time, with Dayo now living a solitary life working as a rideshare driver. He picks up various passengers, many of whom carry their own problems that he can relate to. As this short centres on him, Oyelowo delivers a terrific performance as the man pushing down his inner pain,...

Jack Rooke’s sitcom Big Boys returns to Channel 4 in January, and the details of the new run have landed.

Big Boys, Jack Rooke’s autobiographical sitcom about his experience at university, was one of the comedic treats of last year.

Derry Girls’ Dylan Llewellyn and Jon Pointing play two disparate young men, Jack and Danny, who find themselves as roommates in their first year of University.

Exclusive: The After, the debut short from photographer Misan Harriman, best known for his portraits of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, will debut on Netflix on October 25 after screening at the London Film Festival.

The Oscar-qualified short stars David Oyelowo and comes from a story by Harriman, with a screenplay by writer John Julius Schwabach. The story follows Dayo (Oyelowo), a Londoner who has to reconnect with himself and society after witnessing a devastating random attack in the capital.

Si Bell Bsc served as DoP while Nicky Bentham of Neon Films, and Oyelowo via his Yoruba Saxon Productions produced.

Exclusive: The BBC’s small screen Boiling Point sequel has found a sous chef. Walking Dead star Steven Ogg will play Nick in the upcoming drama, which will pick the story up six months after the conclusion of the BAFTA-nominated Stephen Graham-starring indie pic.

Ogg is best known for playing Simon in a number of seasons of AMC’s The Walking Dead. He was Rebus in HBO’s Westworld, Sobchak in another AMC hit, Better Call Saul, and most recently featured in Will Smith-starring Apple TV+ movie Emancipation.

Ogg’s signing rounds out main cast for the five-parter from Philip Barantini, which is being produced by Matriarch Productions, Ascendant Fox and Made Up Productions.

Sous chef Nick will join Carly’s (Vinette Robinson) fictional restaurant midway through the season, with Carly still featuring in the show as head chef of her own restaurant after she leaves Graham’s establishment.

Kitchen nightmares are all the rage these days – last year’s drama The Bear brought emotion and tender characterisation to the stressful setting of a deep-in-the-hole Chicago sandwich shop, while one-take-for-real movie Boiling Point got audiences hooked with its simmering tension and immersive shooting approach. And it’s been in the works for a little while now that Boiling Point is spinning onto the small screen in a BBC series that won’t continue the one-shot set-up, but will take viewers back into hell’s kitchen – and explore what happens next for Stephen Graham’s chaotic cook Andy.

The BBC has now confirmed that shooting on the series is underway – it’ll be a five-part drama with episodes running at one hour each. And while Graham’s Sous Chef Carly who’ll be at the centre of the show, now running her own restaurant with much of Andy’s team...

Full casting has been revealed for Boiling Point, as filming begins on the brand new five-part television series for BBC One and BBC iPlayer in Manchester.

They will be joined by the film’s co-stars Ray Panthaki (Freeman), Gary Lamont (Dean), Áine Rose Daly (Robyn),Taz Skylar (Billy), Daniel Larkai (Jake) Stephen McMillan (Jamie), Hannah Traylen (Holly) and Izuka Hoyle (Camille).

Filming has begun in Manchester, U.K., on “Boiling Point,” the five-part BBC series that follows on from the award-winning film of the same name.

The one shot film followed head chef Andy (Stephen Graham), who wrangles his team on the busiest day of the year. The series picks up six months on from where the film left off and sees sous chef Carly (Vinette Robinson) as head chef at her own restaurant, with many of Andy’s original team alongside her. As the pressure mounts to keep the restaurant full, Carly begins to feel the magnitude of responsibility that comes with running her own place.

As previously revealed, Robinson, Graham and Hannah Walters will reprise their roles from the multi award-winning film. They will be joined by the film’s co-stars Ray Panthaki, Gary Lamont, Áine Rose Daly, Taz Skylar, Daniel Larkai, Stephen McMillan, Hannah Traylen and Izuka Hoyle.

The stars were out in force for last night's BAFTA Scotland awards, which celebrate the best of the country's film and television output. This year's Best Feature winner was, unusually, a documentary, Chloe Fairweather's dying to divorce, which looks at the frequency of domestic violence in Turkey through the stories of women visiting divorce lawyer Ipek Bozkurt. The director won the the BAFTA Cymru Breakthrough Award earlier this year. Despite taking the top award, it did not win in the Best Documentary category, with that award going to Lizzie MacKenzie's The Hermit Of Treig, which took the Audience Award at the Glasgow Film Festival back in March.

Jack Lowden was hailed as Best Actor for his portrayal of war poet Siegfried Sassoon in biopic Benediction, and the Best Actress award went to Izuka Hoyle for her work in Boiling Point.

The ceremony will be held in Glasgow on November 20

Terence Davies’ Benediction and Michael Caton-Jones’ Our Ladies have scooped up two nominations each in the Bafta Scotland awards.

Both Peter Capaldi and former Screen Star of Tomorrow Jack Lowden are nominated for their performances in Davies’ biopic about war poet Siegfried Sassoon. Benediction was previously nominated for two Bifas, and picked up the jury prize for best screenplay at San Sebastian in 2021 where it was screening in official competition.

Netflix’s Persuasion starring Dakota Johnson as Anne Elliot and Cosmo Jarvis as Capt. Wentworth has become a very controversial adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel since debuting on Netflix, with many critics and writers already debating the pros and the cons of the movie. However, in my personal opinion as an Afro-Caribbean American Austen fan, there has not been enough discussion of the harm racists and gatekeepers have done with the way they have engaged in discussing this movie.

I personally experienced the wrath of Austen fandom racists during “PineappleGate” and know that the debates over the merits of director Carrie Cracknell’s Persuasion are hiding deeper issues. They also repeat the same patterns.

While the vast majority of good faith critiques by professional critics, as well as fan reactions, stuck to discussing elements of Persuasion that were separate from race, chatter on Facebook and other social media sites...

Dakota Johnson is the latest actress to embody one of Jane Austen’s leading ladies in the trailer for the upcoming Netflix adaptation of “Persuasion.”

Johnson plays Anne Elliot, an overlooked middle daughter who is nonetheless incredibly insightful and clever — if easily persuaded. Surrounded by her entitled relatives, she is on her own when faced with the return of the dashing, self-made Captain Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis), with whom she broke off her engagement nearly a decade prior at the behest of those around her deeming it a degrading match.

The trailer, which you can watch above, is full of heartfelt and also hilarious moments as Johnson’s Anne navigates her rekindling romance, as well as the emergence of a potential new romance with William Elliot (Henry Golding).

Netflix has revealed an official trailer for Persuasion, the latest Jane Austen adaptation coming to the big screen this year. This film is made by a British theater director who is directing her first feature film. Eight years after Anne Elliot was persuaded not to marry a dashing man of humble origins, they meet again. Will she seize her second chance at true love? Always the most important question. Anne Elliot is an unconforming woman with modern sensibilities, but she must choose between putting the past behind her or listening to her heart when it comes to second chances. Dakota Johnson stars as Anne, with a cast including Cosmo Jarvis, Richard E. Grant, Henry Golding, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Mia McKenna-Bruce, Ben Bailey-Smith, Yolanda Kettle,...

The film was developed with support from Northern Ireland Screen.

"I can't give you what I haven't got." Saban Films has released an official trailer for Boiling Point, hot on the heels of its debut at the 2021 London Film Festival earlier this month. An emotionally scarred London chef struggles to keep it together in this formally extraordinary and beautifully acted single-take thriller. Set in "one of the hottest restaurants in London", enter the relentless pressure of a restaurant kitchen as a head chef wrangles his team on the busiest day of the year.

“The Outpost” will conclude after Season 4 on The CW, the network revealed Wednesday.

An individual with knowledge of the decision told TheWrap the network and the producers mutually agreed to end the show with its currently airing Season 4 after production had begun.

The fourth season — and now series — finale of the summer drama will air Thursday, Oct. 7 at 9/8c.

The CW is parting ways with one of its summer series.

According to TV Line, The Outpost has been canceled after four seasons.

The last-ever episode is currently set to air on the network Thursday, October 7 at 9/8c.

Like many CW series, the on-air ratings have sagged considerably.

The show returned in July to 450,000 viewers and a 0.05 rating, and it has been staying around those numbers since.

As a co-production, the series was thought to have lasted this long because co-productions are typically cheaper to produce because of the different outlets involved.

The series “follows Talon, the lone survivor of a race called Blackbloods. Years after her entire village was destroyed by a gang of brutal mercenaries, Talon travels to a lawless fortress on the edge of the civilized world, as she tracks the killers of her family," according to the official logline.

A solid Brit gangster film more in the old-school vein of “Get Carter” and “Mona Lisa” than the dog-on-hind-legs Guy Ritchie idiom, Title notwithstanding, our protagonist is an upstanding kind of tough guy — but the criminal world isn’t about to let him go straight. Actor Philip Barantini’s first directorial feature is nothing wildly original in content or style. Still, it punches both elements across with a satisfying low-key confidence, and does not shrink from occasionally letting things get pretty rough. Saban is releasing to U.S. on demand and via digital platforms on May 22.

We meet fiftysomething Eddie Franks (Fairbrass) the day he’s getting out of the joint after a stint of unknown, presumably lengthy duration. It’s clear from the way he’s treated by both the staff and his fellow inmates that he’s respected, whether due to his intimidating qualities or finer ones — he’s wished well,...

The story follows a former criminal just released from prison and his attempts to help his family by reconnecting with his daughter and clearing his brother's debt.

As far back as we can remember, Craig Fairbrass has given us that ‘ard man stare that’s become synonymous with the good old British “gangster” movie. This week, Fairbrass is back in the slow-burn drama ‘Villain’ where he plays an ex-con with the desire to go straight – a role in which we don’t see the tall and brooding Fairbrass in all that often.

The film follows the harrowing journey of Eddie Franks (Fairbrass). After being released from prison after 10 years, Eddie attempts to help his family by reconnecting with his daughter (Izuka Hoyle) and clearing his brother’s (George Russo) debt. Despite his best efforts, he finds himself drawn back into a life of crime, with devastating consequences.

We sat down with Fairbrass – who cut an intimidating figure – to talk about his latest film, the public’s love of a good gangster movie, and how the old school...

Stars: Saoirse Ronan, Margot Robbie, Jack Lowden, Joe Alwyn, David Tennant, Guy Pearce, Maria Dragus, Eileen O’Higgins, Liah O’Prey, Izuka Hoyle, Brendan Coyle, Martin Compston, Gemma Chan, Ismael Cruz Córdova | Written by Beau Willimon | Directed by Josie Rourke

Mary Queen of Scots, directed by Josie Rourke, is a remake/retelling of the 1971 film of the same name Mary, Queen of Scots directed by Charles Jarrott. Rourke’s film stars two heavyweight leading actress titans of their craft in Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie, as opposing queens Mary Stuart and Queen Elizabeth I battling out for the reign. This twenty-nineteen rendition is a highly intense scorcher of deliberating venomous proposal and political promise. Wrapped in a deeply controversial and disputed historical subject matter with questionable accuracy that thankfully doesn’t derail an otherwise immersive film.

Josie Rourke’s film looks and sounds stunning. Courtesy of the score from composer...
