Exclusive: Scott Foley has joined the cast of Scream 7 from Spyglass and Paramount Pictures.

Details regarding his character and the film’s plot are currently under wraps. However, Foley is already part of the Scream universe having portrayed antagonist Roman Bridger, the film director and half-brother of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) who was revealed to be the Ghostface Killer of Scream 3.

Foley’s casting comes with its own set of questions because Roman was killed by Dewey (David Arquette) at Sidney’s request. Roman has faked his own death before so it’s plausible that he could reprise the role in the present or perhaps in flashback form in the past if he is deceased. Could Roman have a long-lost twin? This is Scream after all, so if he returns as a ghost (face killer?) or a zombie, it would not shock most.

Filming for Scream 7 got underway earlier this month, and casting news continues to trickle in. Most recently, Deadline confirmed that morning talk show host Mark Consuelos has joined, although details regarding his character are being kept under wraps.

But that hasn't stopped rumors and speculation from circulating online. The rumor mill is ever-churning, saying that Consuelos might be playing a character devised as a rival to Gale Weathers. Note that this rumor stems from unverified sources on social media and is, so far, completely unsubstantiated. Courteney Cox previously confirmed her return alongside Neve Campbell, who reprises her role as final girl Sidney Prescott.

Consuelos is best known for co-hosting Live with Kelly and Mark alongside his wife, Kelly Ripa. He started his career as an actor on the soap opera All My Children. Since then, he's starred in TV series like Riverdale and The Girls on the Bus. He...

Exclusive: Mark Consuelos has joined the cast of Scream 7 from Spyglass and Paramount Pictures.

Details regarding the film’s plot and who Consuelos will play are under wraps.

He joins the previously announced legacy cast members Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox as well as Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown, alongside newcomers Isabel May, Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, Anna Camp and Joel McHale.

Franchise creator Kevin Williamson is directing with Guy Busick (2022’s Scream and Scream VI) writing. Project X Entertainment’s James Vanderbilt, William Sherak and Paul Neinstein (2022’s Scream and Scream VI) are producing.

The long-running horror franchise previously generated four feature films including Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997), Scream 3 (2000) and Scream 4 (2011), directed by the late Wes Craven. It relaunched with the fifth installment, Scream, in 2022. The latest outing, Scream VI, released theatrically...

Now that 2024 has come to a close, it’s official, Netflix once again handed out the most cancellations in the calendar year – though at this point, I don’t think anyone will find this surprising. While the streaming platform has gotten better as the years have gone by in giving shows final seasons and the chances to establish themselves with audiences, the streaming platform continues to have some of the biggest cancellation rates in the business and 2024 was no different.

In total, Netflix canceled 16 shows in 2024 while also handing six additional shows their walking papers with final season orders which are about as close to cancellations as you can get the only difference being that those lucky six shows will get to actually wrap up their runs with proper sendoffs. So when you combine the two groups, Netflix decided to end a whopping 22 shows in 2024 be it by canceling them directly or ordering final seasons.

Penn Badgley will return for one final season as serial killer Joe Goldberg in You season five, which just released two teaser posters. The two-part fourth season premiered in 2023, and Netflix confirmed the fifth and final season will premiere in 2025 after initially targeting a 2024 release.

“Every season they manage to find new space to make it interesting and relevant,” said Penn Badgley in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum. “And this season, I think somehow coming back to where it started allowed for it to just become grounded in the way that it needs to also have this kind of spectacular finish.”

Besides Penn Badgley, season five stars Charlotte Ritchie as Kate, Madeline Brewer as playwright Bronte, Anna Camp as Kate’s identical twin sisters, and Griffin Matthews as Kate’s brother. Michael Foley and Justin Lo are the writers, showrunners, and executive producers.

There's so many new shows that come our way every year. And while you do get comfortable with the series' that you become a fan of, it's never wrong to tune into something new. Many times, the trailers for a show will look intriguing, but then when the season is here it's a disappointment. HBO and Max had a few examples of that this year. Here's 4 HBO and Max shows from 2024 that let us down.

The Girls on the Bus

Despite its stellar cast, unfortunately that wasn't enough to keep our interest when it comes to The Girls on the Bus on Max. Frankly, the show was boring even though it did seem like an interesting premise with four female journalists on the presidential campaign trail. Of course each of them is also dealing with personal conflicts. Though overall, they weren't interesting enough to keep us invested in the story.

Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood are set to work together again!

The real-life married couple met on the set of The CW’s Supergirl and now they’re booked to headline the upcoming NBC TV show Duo, which will showcase their musical talents.

Melissa previously starred in the Broadway musical Beautiful: The Carole King Musical and was a series regular on Glee while Chris starred on Broadway in the musical Almost Famous.

Chris wrote the script for Duo and Rina Mimoum is set as showrunner. Rina previously worked with Melissa on the Max series The Girls on the Bus.

Exclusive: Acting couple Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood are set to play one on TV in Duo, a drama in development at NBC. Written by Wood with Rina Mimoun (Mistresses) as showrunner, the project, which has a script commitment, comes from Warner Bros. Television, where Benoist’s Three Things Productions and Mimoun are under overall deals.

In Duo, when a soft-spoken, blue-collar worker (Wood) and a magnetic performer (Benoist) looking for her next break unexpectedly cross paths, their fateful meeting leads to a partnership that changes them both forever. The project is described as a family drama centered around a new two-person band and the disruption their rapidly rising career has on both their lives and the lives of those closest to them.

Duo, which echoes drama series involving band members in a complicated relationship dealing with fame such as Daisy Jones and the Six, promises to showcase Benoist and Wood’s musical abilities.

Exclusive: Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher) has signed with Gersh for representation in all areas.

Gugino was most recently seen in the Max Original drama series The Girls on the Bus, opposite Melissa Benoist, Christina Elmore, Natasha Behnam, Brandon Scott, and Scott Foley.

Last year she starred in Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher, receiving a Critics Choice Award nomination for her role as Verna in the series which is loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe’s short story of the same name.

Medically accurate storylines about abortion can help educate and inform viewers “across all political leanings,” according to a new study from USC Annenberg’s Norman Lear Center and Uc San Francisco’s Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health program.

In their paper “Abortion Depictions on Television: Impact on Audience Knowledge and Mobilization,” researchers surveyed 1,016 adult television viewers of three television episodes with depictions of the procedure that were deemed to be medically sound. The viewers of these storylines were tested for their knowledge of abortion and their interest in taking action after watching the 2022 A Million Little Things episode “Fresh Start,” the 2022 Better Things episode “No, I’m Not Gonna Tell Her” or the 2022 Station 19 episode “The Little Things You Do Together.”

Viewers who were casual, even occasional watchers of the series and did not recall the specific abortion episodes in question were surveyed alongside those who did remember the content of the specific storylines.

Netflix is in the process of adapting “The Picture of Dorian Gray” into a modern TV series, TheWrap has learned.

The show, titled “The Grays,” will be produced by Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with “The Girls on the Bus” showrunner and EP Rina Mimoun serving as showrunner and executive producer, according to an individual with knowledge. Katie Rose Rogers will write the series.

As the team modernizes the Oscar Wilde novel, the series will center on siblings Basil and Dorian Gray as “The Grays” tackles the classic’s themes through the eyes of the modern beauty industry, according to Deadline, who first reported the news.

Representatives for Warner Bros. Television and Netflix declined to comment.

Mimoun and Rogers will executive produce the series alongside Rogers’ brother, Robbie Rogers, with whom she worked on “Fellow Travelers” and who has served as a producer on “All American” and an EP on “All American: Homecoming.

Exclusive: The Picture Of Dorian Gray is getting a TV series treatment with The Grays, which is in development at Netflix, Deadline has learned. It hails from Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television where the company is based. A rep for Netflix declined comment.

Written by Katie Rose Rogers, The Grays is a contemporary take on the Oscar Wilde classic about our fascination with eternal youth set against the backdrop of the modern beauty industry. In a twist on the gothic novel, the series revolves around siblings Basil and Doran Gray.

Fittingly, two of the project’s executive producers are siblings Katie Rose Rogers (Supergirl) and Robbie Rogers (All American), who worked together on the Emmy-nominated limited series Fellow Travelers. Also executive producing are Rina Mimoun, who serves as showrunner’ Lee Toland Krieger who is directing; as well as Berlanti Proids.’ Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Leigh London Redman.

From Amy Chozick and Julie Plec, the series follows Sadie McCarthy (Benoist), a journalist who romanticizes Tim Crouse’s Boys on the Bus book and works towards her opportunity to cover a presidential campaign for the paper of record.

Mau recently made history, becoming the first transgender woman in Emmy history to be nominated for supporting actress in a limited or anthology series or movie. In “Baby Reindeer,” Mau played Teri, Donny’s (Richard Gadd) therapist and love interest. She emerges as one of the most stable and empathetic characters in the twisted saga about stalking, self-hatred and sexual abuse.

The final season...

Joe Goldberg is in trouble as new You set photos show him being escorted by cops. It is unlikely Joe will get away with his crimes in You season 5, as the show may not allow his murders to go unpunished. You season 5 will introduce new characters, including Joe's potential love interest Bronte.

New set photos from You season 5 tease that Joe Goldberg's luck might have run out. After the game-changing ending of You season 4 revealed Joe (Penn Badgley) to be more dangerous than ever, with the money and resources of his current love interest Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) to help rebuild his image, Badgley's character seems unbeatable. However, the latest glimpse at the final season of Netflix's romantic thriller hints that there may be serious troubles ahead.

New set photos from You season 5, which has been filming for the past several months, reveal Joe Goldberg with his hands behind his back.

Julie Plec, co-creator of the hit supernatural drama “The Vampire Diaries,” has hinted at the possibility of a new series in the franchise. During a promotional event for her new Max series “The Girls on The Bus,” Plec shared her enthusiasm for expanding the “Vampire Diaries” universe.

“I have a story I still want to tell,” Plec told Screen Rant. “I know that the people who are on the book have a story that they still want to tell. I’m sure Warner Bros. has plenty of stories they want to tell. So, the hope is they’ll give me the opportunity to do it again. We’ll see.”

While no specific details were provided about the potential new series, Plec suggested that L. J. Smith’s original novels could serve as inspiration. The franchise, which began with “The Vampire Diaries” in 2009, has already spawned two successful spin-offs: “The Originals” and “Legacies.

Julie Plec plans to expand the Vampire Diaries franchise Plec hints at possible future stories from the source novels with Warner Bros. A spinoff featuring fan favorite characters might be more desirable.

The Vampire Diaries co-creator Julie Plec reveals that she has more ideas about expanding the long-running franchise. Initially downplayed as merely another example of a rising interest in YA adaptations, the supernatural teen drama created by Kevin Williamson and Plec, quickly established itself as a hit and even an underrated favorite among critics. Running from 2009 to 2017 for a total of 171 episodes, The Vampire Diaries raised the profiles of its cast, particularly Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder. It also led to two successful spinoffs, The Originals and Legacies.

At the premiere of her Max show The Girls on The Bus, which stars Supergirl star Melissa Benoist, Plec revealed to Screen Rant that she has more plans for The Vampire Diaries universe.

While the cast and crew of Live with Kelly and Mark have been on vacation for the last two weeks, Mark Consuelos has been busy behind the scenes.

Mark has been working on a couple of new projects that have been kept under wraps, and one of them has hit YouTube just ahead of the Fourth of July holiday.

While Mark has appeared in many television series, from All My Children to Riverdale and The Girls on the Bus, he is branching out to do some voice work in his downtime from Live with Kelly and Mark.

One series that he’s slated to guest star in, Primos, will premiere on Disney on July 25, 2024, according to Remezcla.com. He will voice the character Tío Ivan Ramirez sometime in Season 1.

But there is another piece of work that he is involved in that is sure to be dear to his heart...

Griffin Dunne’s family has done so many larger-than-life, unbelievable things that when the actor-director-producer started to write his memoir “The Friday Afternoon Club: A Memoir of Family,” he realized it wasn’t enough to start the story with his complex writer father Dominick Dunne.

In fact, it was impossible to understand the forces that shaped the Dunnes, including his uncle John Gregory Dunne and sister Dominique Dunne — without understanding his father’s abusive upbringing in an Irish Catholic family, his mother’s Mexican heritage and all great love stories, clandestine affairs, celebrity encounters and tragedies that seem to surround them, buffeted with lots of pitch-black mordant humor.

The heart of the new memoir is the 1982 murder of Griffin Dunne’s younger sister, “Poltergeist” star Dominique Dunne. It’s the first time he’s really grappled with telling the story of that pivotal event in his family’s history. The...

Even executives at Max seemed sad to end “The Girls on the Bus” after its first and only season on the streaming platform.

“While Max will not be moving forward with a second season of ‘The Girls on the Bus,’ we are grateful to have partnered with immensely talented Amy Chozick, Julie Plec, Rina Mimoun, as well as the teams at Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television,” a representative for Max said in a statement last month. “We are so proud of this powerful story of found family and the celebration of journalism, in all its forms. We thank them and our unrivaled cast for all their incredible work and collaboration.”

The show’s lead and producer, Melissa Benoist, also felt that sense of satisfaction over what was accomplished with the 10-episode drama series.

As TV academy voters fill out their 2024 Emmy nominations ballots, they will have to consider 107 shows for Best Drama Series. This is down by 56 contenders compared to last year. As was the case in 2023, members may not allow their selections to exceed the number of eventual nominations for a given award, which, in this case, will be eight.

2023 Best Drama Series winner “Succession” and six of the seven also-rans are out of the current race because they did not air new episodes during the June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024 qualifying period. This leaves “The Crown” as the only 2023 nominee eligible for an immediate return, which could lead to its second victory here following its first in 2021.

Remember, only eight of the shows below will earn bids for Best Drama Series when the Emmy nominations are announced on July 17. Which do you think will make the cut?

On a brisk April afternoon in the East Village, Griffin Dunne steps through a portal to his past. He has hustled up the stairs of an East Village tenement too old for elevators despite its gentrified gleam. The hallways are narrow but clean and the doors look modern, new — until we arrive at the apartment we’re seeking. Layers of chipped paint speak of the passage of decades. The threshold is uneven — an entry to an era of slanting wooden floors, fire escape patios and bathrooms the size of closets. Inside, hats of fantastic shapes and sizes dot the blue walls, and everywhere there are books and flyers about Blondie, the Pyramid Club, Candy Darling, David Wojnarowicz, etc. Here is the habitat of a performance artist, impeccably preserved for decades and in fact still very much in use.

Because he’s trying to help his daughter, the actor Hannah Dunne,...

Tokyo Vice’s days on Max have come to a conclusion.

During a panel at the Produced By conference Saturday in Los Angeles, producers confirmed that the recently concluded second season will be the show’s last on the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed platform.

Originally pitched as a two-season show with the events of the series having ended with its April 4 finale, fittingly titled “Endgame,” star Ansel Elgort also only signed on for two seasons of the series.

“Over the last five years, Max has made sure we got to tell our story. They have supported us through thick and thin. Not only did they give us these two seasons, they said yes when we asked to end season one with a series of cliffhangers, and they said yes when we asked for two extra episodes so we could land the plane in the way [creator] J.T.

When Mike Flanagan first spoke to Carla Gugino about his latest Netflix production, The Fall of the House of Usher, he didn’t yet know what it would be beyond something inspired by the work of Edgar Allan Poe. “It was going to be something around a family and elements of Succession,” recalls Gugino. Having worked with Flanagan on several horror projects (Gerald’s Game, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor and Midnight Mass), Gugino was confident that the writer-director would find the perfect thematic material for our present moment. “It’s extremely appropriate, destroying yourself by not opening yourself up to actually seeing your effect on the world,” says the actress of the Sackler family-inspired narrative, which turns the Ushers of Poe’s 1840 short story into an elite clan who earned their riches from the opioid crisis. “His humanistic take on the genre,” Gugino says of Flanagan,...

The Girls on the Bus will not be returning for a second season. Max has cancelled the drama after 10 episodes, per Deadline. The first season wrapped up on the streaming service earlier this month.

The Girls on the Bus series, which stars Melissa Benoist, Carla Gugino, Natasha Behnam, Christina Elmore, Brandon Scott, Griffin Dunne, Mark Consuelos, and Scott Foley, is inspired by Amy Chozick’s book Chasing Hillary. The story follows four female journalists, each of them different in their reporting styles and personalities. Despite their differences, the women become a found family with a front-row seat to the greatest soap opera in town -- the battle for the White House.

Warning: Spoilers for The Girls on the Bus season 1, episode 10, "The Everydays."

The Girls on the Bus has been cancelled after one season on Max. Most storylines were resolved in the final episode, giving the main characters positive outcomes, but a major lingering thread remains. The show's creators had a three-season plan that won't be realized.

Max has cancelled The Girls on the Bus after one season, bringing an end to the political dramedy despite its cliffhanger finale. Debuting in March, from co-creators Julie Plec and Amy Chozik, the ten-episode show is inspired by Choziks experience as a political reporter. The story unfolds on the campaign trail, particularly focusing on four journalists, each with their unique reporting styles and personalities. This includes the idealistic Sadie McCarthy (Supergirl star Melissa Benoist), who is hoping to bounce back after a personal setback in the previous election cycle.

“The Girls on the Bus” are not going round and round. Variety has learned that Max has canceled the political drama after just one season.

Max has opted not to proceed with a second season of drama The Girls On The Bus. The decision comes two weeks after the Season 1 finale of the series, starring and produced by Melissa Benoist, was released.
