Whitney Peak, one of the leads of the recent Gossip Girl reboot, has signed on to star opposite Phoebe Dynevor in Sony Pictures’ untitled shark thriller.

Tommy Wirkola, who last helmed the David Harbour-starring Christmas action movie Violent Night, is helming the feature that will begin shooting in Melbourne in July.

Plot details are being kept in the cage but it is said to revolve around a community that has to deal with shark attacks during a hurricane.

Adam McKay and Kevin Messick, who count Don’t Look Up and The Big Short, amongst their output, are producing the project via their HyperObject Industries.

On the Gossip Girl reboots, the Ugandan-born, Canadian-raised Peak played Zoya Lott, the newcomer to the machinations of the chi-chi Manhattan school at where a lot of the stories were set. She also starred opposite Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimi in Hocus Pocus 2,...

Prime Video has confirmed an eight-episode series order for the drama Cruel Intentions and announced the full cast.

As we previously reported according to sources in April, an updated take on the cult 1999 movie Cruel Intentions, which had been in development at Amazon Freevee since 2021, was picked up to series at the streaming platform, but there was a possibility it could shift to Prime Video, which now has been confirmed. Cruel Intentions will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

The cast includes Sarah Catherine Hook (First Kill), Zac Burgess (Totally Completely Fine), Savannah Lee Smith (Gossip Girl), Sara Silva (American Horror Stories), Khobe Clarke, John Harlan Kim, Brooke Lena Johnson (You), and Sean Patrick Thomas (Till).

Colin Tilley, the acclaimed director of music videos for Cardi B, Justin Bieber, and Nicki Minaj, will make his feature debut with “Somewhere in Dreamland.”

Production recently wrapped on the project, which stars Whitney Peak, from “Gossip Girl” and “Hocus Pocus 2,” as well as S. Epatha Merkerson (“Law & Order”), Golda Rosheuvel (“Bridgerton”), Finn Bennett (“True Detective”) and newcomer Laken Giles. Elisa Victoria penned the original graphic novel and the screenplay with Michael Tully.

The horror film follows Anna (Peak), who is grieving the sudden death of her parents when she relocates from New York to a small Florida town to live with the grandmother (Merkerson) she’s never met. Isolated, she falls in with some other teens, but when she becomes a bystander to a shocking act of violence, she finds herself ensnared by Mr. Sandman, who haunts bullies’ dreams before feasting on their eyeballs when they wake up.

It appears that congratulations are in order for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

On Sunday, Lively shared photos which seemed to confirm that the couple have welcomed their fourth child together.

The “Gossip Girl” alum took to TikTok to share a hilarious video in which he does double duty as both himself and Joe, writing “My Brother & Me” in the caption.

“Ok, this should be a pretty simple subject,” Badgley says. “So, repeat after me: Don’t kill people.”

Penn Badgley had only one request for You showrunner Sera Gamble going into season four: “Can I just do no more intimacy scenes?”

The star of the hit Netflix series recently opened up on his podcast Podcrushed about wanting to take a step back from romance roles and intimacy, due to his desire to remain faithful to his wife, Domino Kirke, who he married in 2017.

“This is actually a decision I’d made before I took the show,” Badgley said. “I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it publicly, but one of the main things is like, ‘Do I wanna put myself back on a career path where I’m just always a romantic lead?'”

He continued, “It’s really important to me … Fidelity in every relationship — and especially my marriage — is important to me, and it just got to a point where I didn’t wanna do that.

Penn Badgley is done with sex onscreen.

The star of Netflix’s “You” revealed that he asked the series showrunners Sera Gamble and Greg Berlanti to tone down the intimacy out of respect for his marriage to singer and doula Domino Kirke, whom he wed in 2017.

“I asked Sera Gamble, the creator of the show, ‘Can I just do no more intimacy scenes?’ This was actually a decision I made before I took the show,” Badgley said on his “Podcrushed” podcast, presented by Stitcher Studios. “I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it publicly, but one of the main things is, ‘Do I want to put myself back in a career path where I’m just always the romantic lead?’ It’s really important to me, fidelity in every relationship and especially my marriage, is important to me. It just got to a point where I don’t want to do that.

Penn Badgley has revealed that the “phenomenal reduction” in intimate scenes in You’s season four was made at his request.

The latest instalment of Netflix’s hit psychological thriller – released on Thursday (9 February) – finds Badlegy’s serial killer Joe taking his antics across the pond to London.

On a special episode of the actor’s podcast Podcrushed, which he co-hosts with industry colleagues Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari, Badgley shared that ahead of You’s newest series, he had asked the show’s creator Sera Gamble, “Can I just do no more intimacy scenes”?

“This was actually a decision I had made before I took the show,” he said, further explaining his reasoning: “Do I want to put myself back on a career path where I’m always [the] romantic lead?”

Badgley continued: “Fidelity, in every relationship, and especially my marriage, is important to me.”

Netflix’s thriller series “You,” which just returned for Season 4, has made some major changes this season. It’s set and filmed in London after spending the first three seasons in New York and California; compulsive stalker Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) has the tables turned on him, and now someone else is stalking him; and Badgley has a beard now. But maybe the biggest change is that Badgley isn’t doing sex scenes anymore.

On an episode of his podcast “Podcrushed,” Badgley explained his decision to stop doing scenes of physical intimacy on “You.”

“I asked Sera Gamble, the creator of the show, can I just do no more intimacy scenes?” the former “Gossip Girl” star said. “This is actually a decision I’d made before I took the show. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it publicly, but one of the main things was, like, do I...

Exclusive: HBO content, including tentpoles such as House of The Dragon and Succession, is on the verge of moving from Indian platform Disney+ Hotstar, where it has been streaming since 2016, according to local industry sources.

The move seems to be in line with Disney CEO Bob Iger’s announcement of a restructuring and cost-cutting at the company. While HBO content, in particular Game Of Thrones, helped Disney+ Hotstar build its subscriber base when it first launched a pay tier, English-language content is still considered a niche market in India.

At the same time, the Disney-owned platform is under pressure to reverse its subscriptions decline with more mass market content. Although it remains India’s biggest streamer, Disney+ Hotstar’s subscription base dropped by 6 to 57.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The decline is partly attributed to the loss of the Indian Premier League cricket tournament, which was bagged by Viacom18...

Penn Badgley plays the manipulative charmer Joe Goldberg in the hit Netflix series You, which means many relationships with women and lots and lots of sex scenes. But the actor has said ‘No more!’ Speaking on a recent episode of his Podcrushed podcast, the actor explained how he asked the show’s creator, Sera Gamble, if he could do fewer intimacy scenes in the fourth season. And, to his surprise, Gamble said yes. “I asked Sera Gamble, can I just do no more intimacy scenes,” he told his co-host Nava Kaveli. “This is actually a decision I made before I took the show. I don’t think I have ever mentioned it publicly. One of the main things was, do I want to put myself back on a career path where I’m always playing the romantic lead?” Before his lead role in You, Badgley was best known for playing...

Actor and internet darling Penn Badgley wants to set the record straight: He’s not a nepo baby — but he is a daddy.

While he’s perhaps best known for his role of Dan Humphrey in the Og Gossip Girl, life has changed a lot since Badgley last put on a prep school costume. He’s older, he’s married, and in 2020, he became a dad of two. But in Season Four of You, Badgley returns to his preppy roots, dawning several blazers (and a new beard) as serial killer Joe Goldberg.

Before production on You Season 4 got underway, the hit Netflix thriller's leading man made one request for the series.

Penn Badgley opened up in the latest episode of his Podcrushed podcast that he asked You showrunner Sera Gamble to cut down on his sex scenes.

"I asked Sera Gamble, [the] creator, 'Can I just do no more intimacy scenes?' This was actually a decision I had made before I took the show," the Gossip Girl alum said. 

"I don't think I've ever mentioned it publicly, but one of the main things is, Do I want to put myself back on a career path where I'm always [the] romantic lead?"

Badgley married Domino Kirk in 2017.

The star went on to speak about fidelity in a relationship and how it's "important to me."

"It got to a point where [I thought], 'I don't want to do that,' so I said to Sera, like, 'My...

You's Penn Badgley suggests that the show could be ending soon. In season 4 of the hit Netflix drama, Joe Goldberg (Badgley) relocates to London and takes up the name Jonathan Moore. He moonlights as a regular professor, hoping not to arouse any suspicions for his past crimes. But it doesn't take long for Badgley's character to find himself caught up in a mess again. Specifically, in You season 4, Joe's life devolves into a murder mystery while he attempts to move on from Marienne (Tati Gabrielle).

During an interview on Happy Sad Confused, Badgley promoted You season 4 with part 1 currently streaming on Netflix.

He also offered a bit of a timeline for when the show might end. Though he stressed that he didn't know anything for sure and added that the main focus was maintaining the story's quality, the former Gossip Girl star mentioned that he'd signed a six-year contract and...

Charlotte Ritchie fans are very excited for Charlotte Ritchie. The star of Fresh Meat and Call The Midwife is much-loved on her home turf but her fans predict a new wave of stateside stans. “Charlotte Ritchie’s fame era incoming,” reads one tweet. Another laments: “It’s gonna be hard to gatekeep Charlotte Ritchie now.” Others skew more unhinged. A few are of the “I’d let Charlotte Ritchie step on me” variety. “That’s so worrying!” Ritchie, who is absent from social media and therefore cloistered from its deranged dialect, laughs. “Flattering – but worrying!”

Her fans are probably right. Soon an international audience will awaken to Ritchie’s charms thanks to her role in Netflix’s hit show You. The series – which, in a coup of casting, sees Gossip Girl hearthrob Penn Badgley play a serial stalker, sometimes murderer – is Ritchie’s most international foray yet. Now in its fourth season,...

With the fourth season of Netflix’s “You” right around the corner, the hit Netflix thriller covers new ground — literally — as Penn Badgely’s character, murderous stalker Joe Goldberg, flees the scene of the previous season’s crimes and hides out in London.

Living under a new identity, Joe has assumed the identity of literature professor Jonathan Moore; joining the cast is British actress Amy-Leigh Hickman as Nadia, a student who captures Joe’s attention.

On February 1, the American Heart Association had its annual Go Red for Women Red Dress Collection concert to raise awareness about heart disease. Along with musical performances, celebrities modeled red dresses at the runway show.

Amanda Warren, 40, who starred in Gossip Girl, wore a red v-neck dress that accentuated her waist. Her makeup and accessories were very subtle for the event.

In an exclusive interview with uInterview, Warren stressed the importance of women’s health.

“My message to women regarding our health is to just take care of yourself, take after yourself and Google things and see what’s what,” she urged. “And when you have more questions try to find your nearby health clinic, a community clinic where you can talk to someone, maybe your nearby pharmacist. Just make sure that you’re taking care of yourself, if you don’t feel well, reach out and be aware. And just,...

Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio had a whirlwind romance once upon a time, taking onlookers by storm. Hollywood has never had any shortage of power couples – nor of any power couple breakups. The end of the seemingly unstoppable “Brangelina” team of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie came as a shock to many fans. Even the strongest of bonds seem to come and go, so it may not come as a surprise that for a few months in 2011, what could have been the biggest power couple of all time happened, then fizzled out of memory just as quickly.

Before Lively met Ryan Reynolds, the future Green Lantern star had a relationship with DiCaprio. While the feeling seemed mutual, the whole thing ended rather abruptly. It all happened so quickly, but the couple had a very impactful relationship.

Apple TV+ is turning yet another bestselling book into a streaming series, much like it's done in the past with shows such as "Pachinko" and "The Essex Serpent." The streamer has shared new information surrounding the release of "City On Fire," an eight-part Apple Original crime drama inspired by the 2015 novel of the same name by author Garth Risk Hallberg.

In what appears to be a new wave of layoffs, several senior scripted executives have left the broadcast network, including Gaye Hirsch, EVP, Development, who is departing after more than 15 years, and fellow CW veteran and head of department, Michael Roberts, who had been at the network (and its predecessor the WB) for 21 years, sources tell deadline.

Also said to be leaving alongside Hirsch and Roberts are Ellen Rand, SVP of Current Programming and Steve Tao, VP, Current Programming, I hear. The full extent of layoffs is unclear. Reps for the CW did not return calls and emails seeking comment.

The CW, in its latest shift away from scripted originals, is dismantling its current programming department.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that exec vp current programming Michael Roberts and exec vp development Gaye Hirsch — two of The CW’s remaining most important scripted executives — are among those who were let go Thursday. An exact headcount was not immediately available, though sources say others were impacted by the layoffs.

While losing the heads of current and development are a big blow to The CW’s efforts to continue making scripted originals, this is not a complete dismantling of its scripted executives as sources say some lower-level staffers — i.e., those with smaller salaries — are being retained.

Reps for The CW did not respond to THR’s multiple requests for comment.

The Oc creator Josh Schwartz explains why the show never included popular pairings, such as Summer and Ryan. Throughout the course of its run, The Oc remained largely faithful to the core pairings of Ryan Atwood (Ben McKenzie) and Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton), along with the memorable Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) and Summer Roberts (Rachel Bilson) couple. Though it occasionally introduced obstacles for the core four to overcome and eventually had to shift plans with the death of Marissa at the end of season 3, the teen drama stood apart from others in the genre in that it didn't try to mix and match between the four main characters.

During an appearance on the Welcome To The Oc, Bitches!, Schwartz opened up about why the series never tried to pair Seth and Marrisa or Summer and Ryan.

“Mutt,” the Sundance prize-winning feature debut of New York-based filmmaker Vuk Lungulov-Klotz, has been boarded by Brussels-based company Best Friend Forever.

“Mutt,” which just won the Special Jury Award for actor Lío Mehiel (“WeCrashed”) at Sundance, will next play at the Berlin Film Festival in the Generation 14+ strand. CAA Media Finance is handling North American rights, while Best Friend Forever represents the rest of the world.

Coming from a background in Spanish physical comedy, Mariel Molino, who plays a nanny with a sinister secret in Freeform’s new Hitchcockian thriller series “The Watchful Eye,” faced a “learning curve” while filming ominous scenes as she transformed big movements into small specifics full of nuance and imagination.

“Everything that you think you might have to play up, actually, you have to be a lot more small about and you have to be more specific and nuanced,” Molino told TheWrap. “I really learned to trust my instinct and my imagination … and use the camera as my co-star because a lot of the scenes were me alone and me reacting to a sound that wasn’t there, or a person that is not there.”

The new Freeform series, which premiered Jan. 30, follows Elena (Molino), a live-in nanny to a wealthy widower (Warren Christie) who moves into a mysterious Manhattan building riddled with old money,...

The creators behind series “Tuca & Bertie,” “Gordita Chronicles,” and “Whistleblower” have issued statements alleging the Warner Bros. Discovery merger has had disastrous effects on female Poc showrunners.

The statements, published as an addendum to a December 21 Writers Guild of America report on the effects of mega-mergers, are titled “How the Warner Bros. Discovery Merger Hurts Workers and Diversity.” The report claims the Wbd merger de-prioritized female-led series featuring stars of color and ultimately led to the shows’ cancellations.

“The casualties of this mega-merger include numerous projects created by, featuring and/or centering the experiences of women and people of color,” the statement reads, citing multiple projects “including ‘Batgirl,’ one of very few mainstream superhero films to feature a Latina lead actress; ‘Full Frontal’ with Samantha Bee, one of a handful of woman-hosted late-night shows; ‘Gordita Chronicles,’ a series about a Dominican immigrant family whose showrunner was a Latina woman; ‘Tuca & Bertie,...

Hello, Wisconsin! This week, ’90s fashion isn’t the only thing making a comeback, as the latest Wrap Report highlights.

Nearly two decades after the final episode of “That ’70s Show” aired, audiences were ready to return to the Formans’ basement, according to the report, which uses TV viewership trends analyzed from Samba TV’s household panel of over 25 million connected TVs, including both linear and streaming consumption. “That ’90s Show,” a nostalgic spinoff featuring characters who are relatives of the original ones, ran the tables and claimed every single spot on the top 10 most-watched streaming charts for the past week.

The premiere episode of the series nabbed the No. 1 spot and was watched by 1.7 million U.S. households in its first four days available to stream on Netflix. The rest of the 10-part series followed suit, illustrating just how bingeable the series proved to be in its first week.

Hotels.com, known for throwing the advertising figure Captain Obvious for years into hundreds of TV commercials, is launching a new sales pitch that isn’t so conspicuous.

Starting Monday, the Expedia Group booking service will launch a series of “Perfect 10” vignettes led by celebrities and influencers who explain some of their favorite hotel picks, hacks and habits — all made available on the company’s own digital channels, including YouTube and Instagram. The first three episodes feature podcaster and actress Busy Philipps; “Gossip Girl” star and skateboarder Evan Mock; and “Top Chef” alumni and restaurateur Kwame Onwuachi

TV commercials “serve a very specific purpose, mostly to remind people that we are there and we exist,” says Hector Muelas, Expedia Group’s senior vice president of global creative, in an interview. These new vignettes, which evoke some of the allure inherent in travel programs like “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” or “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy,...

While “Gossip Girl” fans and its creator have expressed hope that the series finds a new home after being canceled by HBO Max, star Thomas Doherty is “ready to move on” from the teen drama reboot.

“When it’s done, it’s done — you don’t want to beat a dead horse — and I think it’s important to [not] try and force something like this,” Doherty told TheWrap Thursday. “I feel like I’ve definitely come to accept it. I’ve loved being on the show — it’s served such a huge part of my life — and so it’s been so influential in my career. But I’m definitely ready to move on to the next thing.”

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Gossip Girl series finale, “I Am Gossip.”] The Gossip Girl revival on HBO Max wrapped its two-season run with the mention of two major characters from the original series on The CW, and according to showrunner Joshua Safran, they’d tried to get both actors to appear, but scheduling didn’t work out. The teens set a trap by first having Zoya (Whitney Peak) claim she’s Gossip Girl, then dropping the rumor that Shonda Rhimes, Ryan Murphy, and Danny Strong were in a multi-million dollar bidding war for the rights to the story. Of course, Kate (Tavi Gevinson) shows up to what she thinks is a Hollywood meeting, revealing she’s Gossip Girl to the teens. But there isn’t a bigshot producer there; instead, Eric’s (Connor Paolo) husband Jonathan (Matt Doyle) is, as is Andy Cohen. They tell Kate her story will be on Cohen’s show...

Spoiler Alert! This story contains details from the Season 2 finale of HBO Max’s Gossip Girl.

Showrunner Josh Safran told Deadline that he’s holding on to a glimmer of hope that the series might land at a new home, but he’s had an inkling for months that this might happen, considering the growing number of streaming cancellations and Gossip Girl‘s hefty price tag.

“I asked HBO Max if I actually could go back in [to the episode]. I had the idea to take some of the cliffhangers out, because there were a lot of cliffhangers,” Safran said. “We got the editorial team back together. I...

DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn weighs in on the Titans and Doom Patrol cancellations. 2022 was a rough year for DC fans, and 2023 is no exception as Warner Bros. Discovery continues its restructuring.
