Jennifer Lawrence returns to her darker roots for “Die, My Love,” Lynne Ramsay’s first film in seven years. Check out a first-look image above.

The thriller is based on Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel, which centers on a woman (Lawrence) ravaged at the crossroads between love and madness.

Robert Pattinson plays Lawrence’s onscreen husband, with Lakeith Stanfield cast as her lover. Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte also co-star.

Ramsay returns to directing for her first feature since 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here.” Ramsay previously teased “Die, My Love” during the 2023 Sarajevo Film Festival, emphasizing the movie’s divergences from the novel. In contrast, the book was about a woman in a secluded French village who grapples with extreme mental health problems after giving birth. Ramsay has taken liberties with source material before, with “You Were Never Really Here” adapted from a Jonathan Ames novella and “We Need to Talk About Kevin...

‘American Horror Stories’ delivers five uniquely alarming tales of terror that tackle liminal spaces, clones, Leprechauns, and more.

“You know, we invented hell.”

There was a lot of promise in American Horror Stories — an episodic anthology horror series — when it was first announced as a companion piece to American Horror Story proper. American Horror Stories’ first season was a lackluster effort that oddly felt compelled to needlessly connect its stories to American Horror Story. The second season worked out many of these kinks and, while still imperfect, there are some genuine gems in the mix, like the Twilight Zone-aping “Facelift.” The third season was an even greater improvement that arguably didn’t have any duds in the mix. More importantly, American Horror Stories seemed to finally find the right rhythm and creative team to do this series justice. Additionally, Season 3 eclipsed the modern seasons of American Horror Story and felt...

AMC must be feeling pretty good about getting into bed with Netflix right about now. Thanks to a deal between the two, several AMC shows hit the streaming platform on August 19, 2024, and almost immediately began climbing the Netflix charts. It's a gratifying turn of events for the AMC faithful who've been tuning into the network for years, only to see their favorites overshadowed time and again by bigger productions on HBO or Showtime.

The underseen Western crime drama "Dark Winds," for instance, has now found a whole new audience thanks to this agreement. Meanwhile, it appears a lot of people have only just learned that "Kevin Can F*** Himself" -- the critically-acclaimed dark meta-sitcom starring Alexis Rose herself, aka "Schitt's Creek" alum Annie Murphy -- even exists thanks to its premiere on Netflix. According to viewership aggregator FlixPatrol, "Dark Winds" has even become the third-most streamed show of the last...

Check out the sexy beast exploring his inner David Lee Roth in season 3 of Interview With the Vampire.

As previously revealed, the new season of the AMC drama will focus on Lestat (Sam Reid) starting a band and going on tour. At Saturday’s Comic-Con, Reid brought down the roof in Ballroom 20 when fans got a look-see at his rocker alter-ego.

Vampire, which is a contemporary adaptation of Rice’s gothic novel of the same name, just wrapped its second season. The series was renewed for season 3 ahead of its season 2 finale on June 30.

The Vampire panel was followed by a visit from the stars of Mayfair Witches, which has already begun production on an eight-episode second season in New Orleans with the addition of Alyssa Jirrels as a series regular, Ted Levine as a recurring guest...

AMC is all-in on their small screen Anne Rice Universe, and we’ve learned out of Comic-Con tonight that “Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches” Season 2 will premiere in 2025.

Watch the official first look trailer out of Sdcc below.

Based on Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches, “Mayfair Witches” is an exploration of female power and the mortal implications of our decisions.

“Mayfair Witches” focuses on an intuitive young neurosurgeon (Alexandra Daddario) who discovers that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches. As she grapples with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations.

Alexandra Daddario, Harry Hamlin, and Annabeth Gish star in “Mayfair Witches,” with Jack Huston (House of Gucci) playing the shape-shifting Lasher.

Esta Spalding (“Masters of Sex,” “On Becoming a God in Central Florida”) and Michelle Ashford are both executive producers and writers of the series.

Jennifer Lawrence has signed on to star in and produce a new movie called “Why Don’t You Love Me?” based on a graphic novel of the same name. This dark comedy is being made by A24, the same studio behind many of Lawrence’s most interesting films.

The story follows a married couple, Claire and Mark, who seem pretty miserable. As their relationship falls apart, strange things start happening that make them question what’s really going on. The book it’s adapted from sounds nuts – it’s described as a black comedy about marriage, drinking, depression, and missed chances in life. So the movie is sure to be equally weird and surprising.

The screenplay is being written by Robert Funke, known for the creepy show “On Becoming a God in Central Florida.” Other big names producing include Ari Aster, who directed the seriously strange movies “Hereditary” and “Midsommar,...

Robert Funke escribirá el guion de la película.

De acuerdo con The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer Lawrence protagonizará la comedia de ciencia ficción “Why Don’t You Love Me?”, adaptación de la novela gráfica de Paul B. Rainey para A24.

La novela gráfica de Paul B. Rainey, en la que se basa la película, sigue a Claire y Mark, una pareja infelizmente casada que lucha por su matrimonio hasta que se dan cuenta de que algo no va del todo bien en su realidad. La novela ha sido descrita como una comedia negra sobre el matrimonio, el alcoholismo, la depresión y el duelo por las oportunidades perdidas.

Robert Funke, creador de la serie “Llegar a ser Dios en Florida”, se encargará de escribir el guion de la película.

Having just set her second Apple x A24 collaboration, reality TV inspired murder-mystery The Wives, Oscar-winning actor Jennifer Lawrence is gearing up to work with A24 again already. Today, the company behind Everything Everywhere All At Once and Civil War announced that they've optioned the rights to Paul B. Rainey's 2023 graphic novel Why Don't You Love Me?, with Lawrence set to star and produce, and Robert Funke (On Becoming A God In Central Florida) on script duties.

Presented in an old-fashioned, newspaper style black-and-white strip format, Rainey's graphic novel follows unhappily married couple Claire and Mark. She's depressed, he's anxiety-addled, and at the head of every page the question repeats: Why don't you love me? It's a well observed if pretty grim take on modern life throughout its first half, but a killer Hail Mary of a twist mid-way through (no spoilers here!) leaves you reassessing everything that's come before.

Jennifer Lawrence is teaming up once again with A24 for a movie adaptation of “Why Don’t You Love Me?,” the darkly comedic 2023 graphic novel by Paul B. Rainey.

Robert Funke (“On Becoming a God in Central Florida”) is writing the screenplay, as the search for a director is underway. Lawrence is also a producer alongside Justine Ciarrocchi for Excellent Cadaver; Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen and Emily Hildner of Square Peg are also on board. Rainey executive produces.

“Why Don’t You Love Me?” follows a miserable couple, Claire and Mark, struggling through their marriage while “feeling like something is not quite right in their reality,” teases A24. The graphic novel has been described as a “pitch-black comedy about marriage, alcoholism, depression and mourning lost opportunities,” with surprising twists along the way.

Lawrence launched the production company Excellent Cadaver in 2018 and teamed with A24 for the release of its first film,...

Jennifer Lawrence is set to star in feature Why Don’t You Love Me?, an adaptation of the Paul B. Rainey graphic novel.

A24 acquired the rights to Rainey’s sci-fi comedy, which follows an unhappily married couple that struggle through their personal and professional lives until they realize that their reality is not what it seems and there may be alternatives. He released the novel in 2023 via publisher Drawn & Quarterly.

Robert Funke, the creator behind the series On Becoming a God in Central Florida, will write.

Lawrence will produce alongside Justine Ciarrocchi for Excellent Cadaver, which was behind Sony comedy No Hard Feelings. Lawrence and A24 recently announced another project — a murder mystery based on the Real Housewives reality franchise for Apple — and worked together on the Oscar-nominated drama Causeway, in which she played a military veteran adjusting to life back home. Lawrence has been nominated for four acting Oscars,...

After dabbling in comedy with “No Hard Feelings,” Jennifer Lawrence is tapping back into her funny bone with a new project with A24.

Lawrence will star in and produce “Why Don’t You Love Me?” which is based on a graphic novel by Paul B. Rainey published in 2023. The logline is merely that Lawrence will star as one half of a couple struggling through their marriage while feeling like something is not quite right in their reality.

But Rainey’s book is described as a science-fiction dark comedy about marriage, alcoholism, and depression in which the couple realizes this unhappy marriage is not the life they chose for themselves upon hearing news of an impending nuclear war on the radio. Lawrence’s character is a chain-smoking stalker and couch potato who spends the bulk of her time in a bathrobe, and both she and her husband wonder if this life...

Illustration by Stephanie Monohan.Kirsten Dunst has played a pageant contestant not once, but twice: famously, in the cult classic Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), then, in a self-reflexive turn in Showtime’s short-lived satire of predatory capitalism, On Becoming a God in Central Florida (2019). In the latter, Dunst plays Krystal Stubbs, a pageant queen turned widow turned cunning representative of the Founders American Merchandise corporation. In one scene, she instructs a goth teen on a stratagem of competition: “Dazzle by any means necessary. If you want better lightin’ than the other girls, give yourself better lightin’ than the other girls.”Dunst has built a career around this principle. Having started as a child star, she has supported superhero franchises, starred in teen movies and art films alike, and worked in both film and television. In each project, she follows Krystal’s advice, juggling each character’s interiority with bigger-picture concerns. She...

Sony Pictures Television is shutting down TriStar TV, the studio behind projects including Apple TV+’s “The Afterparty” and AMC’s “Lucky Hank.”

TriStar will be absorbed into the company’s centralized development group. Development on the current TriStar slate will be handled by Sony Pictures Television’s drama development department going forward.

Jennifer Turner, who has led TriStar TV since January 2022, and senior vice president of development Nicole Norwood, who joined in November 2022, are exiting the studio as part of the move. Additional staff cuts related to Tristar TV’s closing are not expected.

Spt’s decision to change course with its boutique label strategy comes after the company’s Gemstone label was folded into the main studio in November 2022.

In addition to “Lucky Hank” and “The Afterparty,” other series produced by TriStar TV include Prime Video’s “Good Girls Revolt” and “The Last Tycoon,” Hulu’s “Shut Eye,...

Belt-tightening and cost-cutting continues across Hollywood as the Peak TV era has come to a close, and another legacy TV brand is being shuttered as a result.

Sony Television is shutting down its TriStar Television banner, which recently has been responsible for series like “Lucky Hank” (AMC), “The Afterparty” (Apple TV+), “On Becoming a God in Central Florida” (Showtime), “The Last Tycoon” (Amazon), and “Good Girls Revolt” (Amazon). In its heyday, TriStar TV produced and distributed “The Nanny,” “Mad About You,” and many more series.

A source says the decision is part of a larger shift around Sony Pictures Television’s boutique labels, not unlike the shuttering of the Gemstone brand several years ago, and that the hope is to weave all of TriStar’s values and goals into the bigger studio.

As THR first reported, TriStar TV’s active productions will be absorbed into the larger Sony Television operation,...

Sony Pictures Television is closing TriStar Television, the studio behind Apple TV+’s “The Afterparty” and AMC’s “Lucky Hank.”

As Sony shutters the division and folds the studio into the larger TV org, executive vice president Jennifer Turner and senior vice president of development Nicole Norwood are exiting the company. Other staff cuts are not expected as a result of TriStar TV closing and the Sony TV drama department will take oversight of current TriStar’s current TV projects.

Sources tell Variety that the move to shut down TriStar TV, which also produced series including “On Becoming a God in Central Florida,” “Good Girls Revolt” and “The Last Tycoon,” is part of an overall strategy shift at Sony Pictures Entertainment regarding its boutique labels.

The decision also comes at a time of great upheaval and overall consolidation within the entertainment industry, and as Sony and private-equity firm Apollo Global...

More of AMC's extensive Anne Rice Universe is on the way. During the latest episode of Interview with the Vampire season 2, AMC released a brief teaser for the upcoming sophomore season of its other notable Rice series, Mayfair Witches, based on the Lives of the Mayfair Witches book series.

But before you get too excited, the teaser is just that, a teaser, and a brief one at that. It doesn't give anything away about the show's second season, only confirming that it will be released in 2025.

As you can see, the clip is only 15 seconds long and just includes a few little quotes like, "the legacy continues," and "embrace the darkness."

Some spoilers ahead for the end of Mayfair Witches season 1.

When we last saw Dr. Rowan Fielding (Alexandra Daddario), she had finally begun to embrace her power and authority as the new reigning designee of the Mayfair family.

French Canadian director Sophie Dupuis’ third feature, “Solo,” saunters past the usual questions of queer identity and acceptance we often see onscreen.

Instead, her film starring 26-year-old muse Théodore Pellerin dances headlong into the suffocating effects of toxic love, via an art form that’s all about liberation: drag.

The Toronto Film Festival premiere opens with a gorgeous, sinewy rising star of the Montreal drag scene (Pellerin) twirling across the stage to Abba’s “Voulez-Vous,” while the screen goes from black to neon shades of purple. As the scene bleeds into a montage of Simon, now out of drag and dancing under the club lights, the world of “Solo” widens to his fellow queens, his sister Maude (Alice Moreault), and a newbie performer who catches his eye, Oliver (Félix Maritaud). And, for a brief moment, it appears that the carefree Simon is destined to have it all: a passionate romance with the recent French arrival,...

Kate Gill is heading to Sony Pictures Television, joining the studio as senior VP of comedy development, working new comedy series for all platforms for the U.S. scripted division. Gill will report to comedy development exec VP Colin Davis and be based in Culver City.

“Civil War,” the new acclaimed drama from director Alex Garland, is dominating theaters everywhere, and the film’s star Kirsten Dunst gives one of her best performances in her long and varied career. In honor of her latest movie, let’s revisit her many awards races, including her first Oscar nomination for “The Power of the Dog.”

Dunst’s first role that brought the actress lots of awards attention arrived in 1994 in Neil Jordan’s “Interview with the Vampire,” starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Dunst’s performance as the young outspoken vampire Claudia earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress, up against Sophia Loren in “Prét-à-Porter,” Robin Wright Penn in “Forrest Gump,” Uma Thurman in “Pulp Fiction” and Dianne Wiest, who won the trophy for “Bullets over Broadway.”

Occasionally the academy will reward a great child performance with an Oscar nomination, the way they did with...

[Editor’s note: this list was originally published in September 2019. It has been updated with new entries to coincide with the release of “Civil War.”]

Kirsten Dunst has many talents as an actor, but one of her best virtues is quite possibly just how cool she is. From her days as a teen star in “Bring It On” and “The Virgin Suicides” to her current era as an adult who takes on adventurous, ambitious roles in movies like “The Power of the Dog” and “Civil War,” Dunst has always had a charm and ease to her that has made her feel both relatable and glamorous. Part of it is her wry, catlike smile which gives her movie star looks some individuality. Part of it is her interviews, in which she projects a down-to-earth nature that feels authentic rather than put-on. And most of it comes from her choice of projects, which shows a great sense of taste and a desire to do truly great, ambitious, and weird work.

Dunst has dabbled in plenty...

Exclusive: Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Waves) has been set to lead a new, untitled Universal feature project from director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and producer Pharrell Williams (Hidden Figures), according to multiple sources, who also tell us that 2024 Academy Award winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers) is in talks.

Universal declined comment. But the film is said to be a coming-of-age musical, set in 1977 Virginia Beach, which draws inspiration from Williams’ childhood growing up in the city’s Atlantis Apartments.

Martin Hynes (Toy Story 4) and Steven Levenson penned the script. Williams and Mimi Valdés will produce through i am Other, alongside Gil Netter for Gil Netter Productions.

Known for roles in Trey Edward Shults’ Waves, Joe Wright’s Cyrano, Nat Geo’s Genius: MLK/X, which had him playing Martin Luther King Jr., and Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, which had him portraying B.B. King,...

Da’Vine Joy Randolph only broke out in 2019, but she’s already one of the most talented actors in the business.

Born in 1986 to a Philadelphia family, Randolph has her roots in the theater; at Temple University, she initially studied classical vocal performance and opera, switching her major to musical theater. After graduation, she attended the Yale School of Drama, graduating in 2011 with a Master’s. Immediately out of school, she was cast in the Broadway musical adaptation of “Ghost: The Musical,” and her performance as medium Oda Mae Brown netted her a Tony Award nomination.

From there, Randolph became a regular face on TV and film, frequently playing bit roles in films and shows like “The Angriest Man in Brooklyn,” “Office Christmas Party,” “This Is Us,” “Veep,” “On Becoming a God in Central Florida,” and “Empire.” A main part in the short-lived 2014 series “Selfie” aside, none of these parts were particularly meaty.

The Anne Rice Immortal Universe continues to progress at AMC Networks, with “Mayfair Witches” heading into production on its second season and adding new actors to its cast while “Interview With the Vampire” has set its Season 2 premiere date and added a guest cast.

Alyssa Jirrels has joined “Mayfair Witches” Season 2 as a series regular, playing Moira Mayfair. Moira is Rowan Fielding’s (Alexandra Daddario) cousin and a mind reader who blames the family and Lasher (Jack Huston) for the death of her sister Tessa (Madison Wolfe). As a recurring guest star, Ted Levine will play as Julien Mayfair, Cortland’s (Harry Hamlin) father, a master manipulator and diabolical presence that haunts the family. Thora Birch guest stars as Gifford Mayfair, a self-deprecating tarot card reader and wannabe-bohemian who lately spends a lot of time at her lake house.

Season 2 of “Mayfair Witches” is currently in production in New Orleans...

AMC Networks is sharing updates on Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe, including casting notes, premiere date and a production update for hits Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches, as well as development news for a potential third series.

As revealed on Tuesday during the network’s TCA presentation, AMC is currently developing a potential third series in the franchise, written and executive produced by Oscar-nominated John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side), based on the secret society, The Talamasca, featured in several of Rice’s novels.

Interview with the Vampire will premiere its second season on Sunday, May 12 on AMC and AMC+ with David Costabile joining as a guest star. He will portray Leonard, a seasoned TV personality who has a run-in with Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Additionally, recurring guest stars this season include Roxane Duran as Madeleine and Bally Gill as Real Rashid.

Thankfully, Peacock understood their wishes, and a new chapter in the iconic franchise will premiere later this year.

The times have changed, but the heart at the center of this movie promises to deliver.

There is nobody Monk loved more on this earth than his beloved Trudy, and if her daughter is in peril, Monk will spring to the rescue without hesitation.

Executive producer David Hoberman and executive producer/director Randy Zisk also return for the much-anticipated Monk project.

The art of drag provides the opportunity to find yourself. That may sound odd considering the objective is typically to make yourself look like somebody else, but that transformation has a magical way of discovering something within yourself you never ever knew was there. Few films understand the power of drag like Sophie Dupuis's "Solo," a radiant and intimate story of queer life and a celebration of the queer community's connection to the art of drag.

Simon owns Montréal nightlife. He's garnered a reputation as one of the premier drag queens of the city, impressing with a tantalizing combination of a tight lipsync, fierce dance moves, and gorgeous fashion-forward outfits, made specially for Simon by his sister. When Simon transforms into Glory Gore, she's unstoppable; in complete command of the stage and audience -- people just can't get enough, cheering her name and soaking in every second of her fiery performances.

“Game of Thrones” alum Jeremy Podeswa has signed on to direct the pilot of Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming limited series “Blade Runner 2099.” Podeswa, most recently the DGA Award-nominated director behind HBO Max’s “Station Eleven,” will also serve as producing director and executive producer of “Blade Runner 2099.”

A TV sequel to the film “Blade Runner 2049” (itself a sequel to the landmark original “Blade Runner”), the new series comes from showrunner/executive producer Silka Luisa (“Shining Girls”). Ridley Scott is also an executive producer on “Blade Runner 2099,” which comes from Alcon Entertainment and Scott Free Productions. Also joining the writers room is Tom Spezialy (“The Leftovers”), who will also serve as an executive producer.

“Blade Runner 2099” has been a long time coming. Scott first revealed the series was in the works in November 2021, while Amazon revealed it was in development in February 2022. The series was officially ordered last September.

Jeremy Podeswa will direct the pilot episode and serve as producing director and executive producer on Prime Video’s “Blade Runner 2099”

The live-action limited series, which will premiere exclusively on Amazon’s streaming service in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, comes from Alcon Entertainment and Scott Free Productions.

In 2011, Alcon Entertainment secured film, television and ancillary franchise rights to produce prequels and sequels to the iconic 1982 science-fiction thriller “Blade Runner.” Since that time, Alcon has financed and produced the critically acclaimed epic “Blade Runner 2049,” which earned rave reviews and won two Academy Awards, as well as the recent “Blade Runner: Black Lotus,” an anime series that debuted late last year on Adult Swim and Crunchyroll.

Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott and Silka Luisa (“Shining Girls”) will serve as executive producers. Luisa will also serve as the series’ showrunner. “Blade Runner 2049” writer Michael Green will serve as a non-writing executive producer,...

Only 10 episodes of The Gordita Chronicles were produced before HBO Max canceled the comedy last summer amid a pullback on live-action kids and family programming. But at least creator Claudia Forestieri felt good knowing that new viewers could still find the show on the streamer.

“I got several DMs from people who saw it in-flight on American Airlines, where a few episodes are still available, and they ended up finishing the season on HBO Max,” Forestieri told Deadline.

But the consolation prize of keeping the show on the platform was short-lived: less than five months after The Gordita Chronicles was canceled, all 10 episodes were removed as part of a library purge that impacted dozens of programs on HBO Max.

At least Forestieri wasn’t alone in getting the boot. In the last few months, scores of shows have been yanked from various platforms, including Westworld, Raised By Wolves, The Time Traveler’s Wife,...

A long-gestating Showtime series based on Patricia Highsmith’s Tom Ripley novels will no longer air on Showtime.

The drama, titled Ripley and starring Andrew Scott as the title character, is instead set to land at Netflix, pending details of a deal being finalized. The change comes as Showtime is set to merge with Paramount+ and will refocus on building out franchises of its most successful series, including Billions and Dexter.

Reps for Showtime and Netflix declined to comment.

Showtime gave Ripley a series order in 2019, with Oscar winner Steven Zaillian (Schindler’s List, HBO’s The Night Of) writing and directing all eight episodes. Scott plays Tom Ripley, a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York who’s hired by a wealthy man to go to Italy and try to convince his vagabond son, Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn), to return home. Tom accepts the job and takes a first...

At a time when TV shows are being cancelled left and right, it’s always nice to report that one has been renewed. AMC is all-in on their small screen Anne Rice Universe, and we’ve learned this morning that “Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches” has just been renewed for Season 2.

The brand new series is an adaptation of Anne Rice’s novels in the “Mayfair Witches” saga, and it premiered January 8 on AMC and AMC+.

AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” was also recently renewed for a second season.

“The success of both Mayfair Witches and Interview with the Vampire once again illustrates the strength and mastery of Anne Rice’s work,” said AMC’s Mark Johnson. “The fact that these first two shows are performing so splendidly with a TV audience gives us much pride in what we’ve already done and great anticipation for the storytelling opportunities yet to come.

Over the past few months, we’ve seen an increasing number of streaming companies remove original content from their services. Deadline reports that Paramount+ is the latest service to remove titles from their platform, which includes Jordan Peele’s reboot of The Twilight Zone.

In addition to The Twilight Zone, Paramount+ has also removed Peter Sarsgaard’s Interrogation, Michael Chiklis’ Coyote, comedy series No Activity, Kate Beckinsale’s Guilty Party, animated series The Harper House, and reality series The Real World: Homecoming.

Jordan Peele’s reboot of The Twilight Zone launched in 2019 on CBS All Access and aired for two seasons because it was cancelled just before the service rebranded to Paramount+. “Jordan Peele, Simon Kinberg, and the entire production team truly reimagined The Twilight Zone for the modern age,” read a statement from Paramount+ Head of Programming Julie McNamara regarding the cancellation of the series. “They upheld the classic...

Paramount+ has followed other streamers like HBO Max in removing some of its original programming off the platform, including the likes of Jordan Peele’s “The Twilight Zone” reboot and “The Real World: Homecoming New York.” The news comes two days after Paramount announced that Showtime would be undergoing a rebrand and merging with Paramount+’s premium service later this year.

Other titles no longer showing up on the platform include “Coyote,” “No Activity,” “Guilty Party” and “The Harper House.” “The Twilight Zone,” which was canceled after two seasons, was a project from the now-defunct CBS All Access (later rebranded to Paramount+). The removal of “Homecoming,” a spinoff to the reality series “The Real World” that aired for three decades on MTV, is more unclear given that the series had yet to receive a formal cancellation.

Days after Showtime, which is currently merging with Paramount+, pulled multiple titles from their platform, the streaming service has followed suit.

Jordan Peelee’s “The Twilight Zone,” which aired for two seasons between 2019 and 2020 before being canceled, has been removed, along with all three seasons of “The Real World: Homecoming.” Other projects no longer available include “Coyote,” “No Activity,” “Guilty Party” and “The Harper House.”

“The Real World: Homecoming,” which launched in 2021 with the New York cast, returned for two more seasons, reuniting the casts of Los Angeles and New Orleans. The Bunim/Murray Productions and MTV Entertainment Studios produced project was well-received by critics and no cancelation announcement has been made.

On Jan. 30, Showtime removed multiple titles, including “American Gigolo” and “Let the Right One In,” both of which were not renewed for a second season, both seasons of Jim Carrey’s “Kidding,” and solo seasons of “American Rust,...

Exclusive: The streaming exodus continues as Paramount+ is the latest service to remove original titles from its platform.

The streamer has removed a raft of titles including Real World: Homecoming.

Other titles include Jordan Peele’s reboot of The Twilight Zone, which ran for two seasons between 2019 and 2020, Peter Sarsgaard-fronted true-crime drama Interrogation, Michael Chiklis’ Coyote, comedy series No Activity, Kate Beckinsale’s dark comedy Guilty Party and animated series The Harper House.

It comes days after sister company Showtime, which is in the process of being rebranded and merged with Paramount+, removed a slew of titles including Kidding, Super Pumped, On Becoming A God In Central Florida and American Rust.

It joins with streamers such as HBO Max, which removed titles such as FBoy Island and Westworld.

Real World: Homecoming is the most high-profile of the removals as the show has not seemingly been cancelled.

Yesterday in a memo to employees, Showtime and Paramount Media Networks President and CEO Chris McCarthy said the newly-merging brands will "divert investment away from areas that are underperforming and that account for less than 10 of our views." In a move that is disappointing but not surprising, it turns out the company's cost-cutting measures involve not just canceling shows but also purging them entirely from streaming. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a number of TV series have already been pulled from the Showtime streaming platform, which is set to be renamed Paramount+ with Showtime.

Among the shows that have reportedly disappeared are the unique and imaginative Jim Carrey project "Kidding" and the Kirsten Dunst-led dark comedy "On Becoming A God in Central Florida," both of which were critically acclaimed. The Jon Bernthal-led "American Gigolo" reimagining and a recent reboot of "Let the Right One In" were both cancelled just yesterday,...

As reported yesterday, Showtime has been cleaning house as it goes through a rebranding process with Paramount+. The Hollywood Reporter gives an extended list of the Showtime originals getting canceled. Along with original programing of American Gigolo and Let The Right One In, more titles like Jim Carrey’s comedy, Kidding, as well as Kirsten Dunst’s On Becoming a God in Central Florida have been given the axe with the likes of Super Pumped and American Rust. While these shows were already not getting additional seasons, they’ve been removed from the service entirely, which is a shame. Some, such as Super Pumped, were limited series and presumably evergreen.

All of this cancelation news comes on the heels of both the premium cable network and the online streamer, Paramount+ goes through a merging rebranding to become Paramount+ on Showtime. Chris McCarthy, the President and CEO of Showtime and Paramount Media Networks,...

We learned last night that Showtime has decided not to order a second season of the “Let the Right One In” series that debuted last year, this news coming along with the reveal that Showtime will be folded into the Paramount+ streaming service beginning later this year. On top of that, we’ve now learned that the series has been removed from Showtime entirely.

THR reports today that “Let the Right One In” is one of several shows that have been removed from the Showtime streaming service ahead of the upcoming fusion with Paramount+.

THR details, “The list includes American Gigolo and Let the Right One In — both of which were canceled earlier Monday — as well as Jim Carrey vehicle Kidding, the first season of anthology Super Pumped, On Becoming a God in Central Florida and American Rust. Also vanishing from the Showtime streaming platform are seasons of acquired content including The End and Wakefield.

The purge of some of Showtime’s less popular series from the network’s streaming service has gotten underway. According to sources, the majority of the shows impacted lasted one season. As Deadline revealed exclusively earlier today, that includes Let The Right One In and American Gigolo, which have been canceled. Additionally, in the process of being taken off are American Rust, Wakefield, and On Becoming a God In Central Florida, which also ran for one season each, as well as the Jim Carrey starrer Kidding, which produced two seasons, sources said.

The removals are part of Showtime’s integration into Paramount+, announced earlier today, which includes the linear network being renamed Paramount+ with Showtime later this year. As part of the changes, the company will “divert investment away from areas that are underperforming” and that accounts for “less than 10 of our views,” Chris McCarthy, who oversees Showtime, said in his memo.

Showtime has pulled several series from its streaming platform, becoming the latest banner to parse down its digital library in the past year. Sources close to the situation share that most removed titles will have the opportunity to sell to third-parties.

Among the removals are “American Gigolo” and “Let the Right One In,” both of which were not renewed for a second season, as announced by Showtime just earlier Monday afternoon. Both seasons of the Jim Carrey-starring “Kidding” are also no longer available to watch on the platform, as well as the single-season series “American Rust” and “On Becoming a God in Central Florida.”

The first season of “Super Pumped” has also been removed. The business anthology series had been renewed in Feb. 2022, with plans for a second season to focus on the history of Facebook. However, few updates have emerged on the project in the months since.
