When it came out back in March 2024, Parish was expected to leave that indelible mark on its audiences worldwide as it played along the themes of drama set deep in the world of crime fiction thriller. Developed by Danny Brocklehurst and aired on AMC, it had that gripping plot that held the potential to capture viewers’ attention in its talons.

Set in a world of crime and horrors, the series encompassed the story of Gray Parish (played by Giancarlo Esposito), a good man but not one without a troubled past, who gives up his life of crime to become a family man. But when his son is violently murdered, old habits tend to return, sending Gray on a relentless quest with moral discretion but dangerous consequences.

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.

A new year means new shows — and saying goodbye to your favorites. The 2023-2024 broadcast season is really just getting underway — with season premieres of scripted shows mostly in January, February, and March this year — but we already know more than a handful that will be signing off in the coming months. Below is the list of all the TV shows we’re saying goodbye to this year. ABC Station 19, seven seasons Not Dead Yet, two seasons AMC Orphan Black: Echoes, one season Parish, one season Apple TV+ Schmigadoon!, two seasons Constellation, one season Still Up, one season The Big Door Prize, two seasons Sunny, one season CBS Blue Bloods, 14 seasons Bob Hearts Abishola, five seasons S.W.A.T., seven seasons Young Sheldon, seven seasons So Help Me Todd, two seasons CSI: Vegas, three seasons NCIS: Hawai’i, three seasons The CW Superman & Lois, four seasons Walker, four seasons Disney+ Andor, two seasons Renegade Nell,...

In the green settings of rural England, Nicholas Parish’s “The Old Man and the Land” emerges as a cinematic experiment that challenges traditional storytelling. This unique drama centers on a mute farmer navigating the twilight of his life, weaving a complicated narrative about inheritance, family dynamics, and the weight of ancestral trauma.

Parish creates a captivating portrait that defies traditional cinema. He employs an unusual technique in which the protagonist never speaks. Instead, the story is told through voicemails, phone calls, and harsh visual depictions of agricultural life. Audiences see the regular rhythms of agricultural work through the eyes of an anonymous old farmer, while the voices of his adult children tell a deeper, more chaotic family story.

The film evolves into a profound meditation on land, legacy, and the unseen tensions that boil beneath rural serenity. Parish provides a unique immersive experience by removing traditional conversation and character interactions,...

After its Season 2 renewal in February 2023, Rian Johnson’s and Natasha Lyonne’s Poker Face the case-of-the-week mystery series is back in production for its next installment.

Season 1 of the Peacock show featured 10 episodes of Lyonne’s Charlie Cale, a Vegas casino worker whose keen sense of honesty leads to a Columbo-style show and reverse detective format. Johnson, who also has Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery in the works with a stacked cast, describes the show as a “howcatchem” versus a “whodunit” which is the format of the Knives Outand Glass Onion films.

Esposito is best known for playing Gus Fring in the acclaimed series Breaking Bad.

As per Collider, Parish has been officially cancelled after just a single season. AMC announced the cancelation in a kind statement wherein the network praised "the creative talent involved and the performances they were able to bring to the screen." The network coupled this praise with the statement that they are "unfortunately unable to proceed with a second season." AMC assured audiences, however, that they would still be able to watch Parish season 1 on AMC+.

Parish will end after its first and only season, AMC confirmed Thursday.

The show, loosely based on British drama series The Driver, starred Giancarlo Esposito, Zackary Momoh and Paula Malcomson, among others, and premiered in March.

“We’re so proud of Parish, and thankful for the creative talent involved and the performances they were able to bring to the screen, starting with the remarkable Giancarlo Esposito, Skeet Ulrich and the entire cast,” AMC said in a statement. “We are unfortunately unable to proceed with a second season, but Season 1 will remain available on AMC+ to fans who want to relive this thrill-ride-of-a-series and those yet to discover it.”

The Hollywood Reporter‘s review of the show praised Esposito’s performance, calling him “an emotionally volcanic leading man,” but criticized most other aspects, saying “it’s full of extended sequences that you’ve seen done better countless times.”

AMC has canceled the crime drama after one season. It comes after the adaptation of British drama series The Driver premiered in March.

“We’re so proud of Parish, and thankful for the creative talent involved and the performances they were able to bring to the screen, starting with the remarkable Giancarlo Esposito, Skeet Ulrich and the entire cast,” the company said. “We are unfortunately unable to proceed with a second season, but Season 1 will remain available on AMC+ to fans who want to relive this thrill-ride-of-a-series and those yet to discover it.”

AMC has canceled the drama series “Parish” after just one season, Variety has confirmed.

The six-episode series debuted on AMC in March. It was based on the BBC One series “The Driver,” with Giancarlo Esposito starring in the American series.

“We’re so proud of ‘Parish,’ and thankful for the creative talent involved and the performances they were able to bring to the screen, starting with the remarkable Giancarlo Esposito, Skeet Ulrich and the entire cast,” AMC said in a statement. “We are unfortunately unable to proceed with a second season, but season one will remain available on AMC+ to fans who want to relive this thrill ride of a series and those yet to discover it.”

Gray’s saga has come to an unfortunate end: AMC has cancelled its Giancarlo Esposito-led crime drama Parish after just one season, TVLine has learned exclusively.

“We’re so proud of Parish, and thankful for the creative talent involved and the performances they were able to bring to the screen, starting with the remarkable Giancarlo Esposito, Skeet Ulrich and the entire cast,” the cabler said in a statement. “We are unfortunately unable to proceed with a second season, but Season 1 will remain available on AMC+ to fans who want to relive this thrill-ride-of-a-series and those yet to discover it.

It’s been crickets on the fate of Parish since the series’ first season came to a close on May 5, 2024. The crime drama’s six episodes aired from late March to early May 2024, but it notably was not included in the 13 AMC shows licensed to Netflix in a one-year deal that began on August 19. Other AMC shows that aired new seasons in 2024, like Interview With the Vampire and Monsieur Spade, were included. Parish has yet to be renewed or canceled. Will the Giancarlo Esposito drama get a second season? The star certainly hopes so. Parish follows Esposito as the titular Gracian “Gray” Parish, who’s pulled back into the crime world after the murder of his son and the collapse of his luxury car service he owns in New Orleans. The getaway driver-turned straight-and-narrow businessman is pulled back into his former life of crime for one last job with former...

Katie Holmes, Kumail Nanjiani, Giancarlo Esposito and Gaby Hoffmann have all been tapped as guest stars for season two of the hit Peacock series. The season doesn’t yet have a premiere date. The first season had 10 episodes.

Though AMC has had some popular scripted series that have run for years, many others have been cancelled after just one season. How is the current crop of shows doing? Which will be cancelled or renewed? We'll have to wait and see.

The billionaire Andy Ronson (Clive Owen) — a technological genius who serves as an antagonist and, ultimately, tragic figure in the FX limited series “A Murder at the End of the World” — may bear a more-than-passing resemblance to certain tycoons of our time. But creator, director and star Brit Marling had an older inspiration in mind.

“If anything, I think we were pretty influenced by reading about Disney, and the idea of Walt Disney as a figure who made real leaps in original thinking,” Marling explains in a conversation with Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast. “A Murder at the End of the World” is certainly critical of technology, but Marling, who conceived the show with Zal Batmanglij, also wanted to present a more nuanced narrative than resolving its classic whodunit plot with a single diabolical billionaire.

“There are a lot of narratives that want to make the easy answer that this tech billionaire,...

Hands down, Giancarlo Esposito remains the busiest man in show business. Over the past year he’s starred in AMC’s “Parish” (which he also executive produces), Netflix’s “The Gentlemen,” Disney+’s “The Mandalorian,” MGM+’s “Godfather of Harlem,” Netflix’s “Kaleidoscope” and voiced Max’s “Harley Quinn.”

And on the film side, his recent gigs include “Abigail” and the upcoming “MaXXXine” and Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.”

“I wrote in my notes last week, ‘I’m the busiest motherfucker,’” Esposito laughs. “I know. It was a very weird note, just to remind myself that all my dreams are coming true… When you start to make more movies and television and do a bunch of things all at once, you realize, ‘I’m doing what I love to do every day.’ It makes it more of a meditation. I sort of step out of the way, and allow the...

Giancarlo Esposito is often the best thing about whichever project he appears in. That was certainly the case, for this writer, at least, in “The Mandalorian,” his TV series “Parish,” and, now, the Guy Ritchie Netflix show “The Gentlemen.”

This one is a spin-off of the successful 2019 movie of the same name, which starred Matthew McConaughey and a terrific Hugh Grant. The show focuses on Theo James‘ aristocrat, who inherits his family estate only to find that it is the home of a weed empire. What follows is a classic Ritchie affair, with gangsters and crime members in pursuit of the empire. Esposito appears as a suave, menacing American billionaire named Stanley Johnston, who wants to buy the estate from James’ aristocrat. Esposito once again wields his mesmerizing voice to full effect, delivering the best monologues in the show, in which he calls British aristocracy “the original gangsters.” Critics agree,...

A galaxy far, far away keeps getting bigger and bigger thanks to Disney+ expanding the “Star Wars” franchise with several TV shows, such as “The Mandalorian” and “Ahsoka,” to go alongside their film output. As such, “Star Wars” fans have gotten used to seeing actors from the franchise popping up at various awards shows — either for “Star Wars” projects or for other works. Giancarlo Esposito was Emmy-nominated for his villainous work in “The Mandalorian,” for example,” while last year’s Best Drama Actor Emmys lineup included Mando himself, Pedro Pascal, who was cited for “The Last of Us.” With this in mind, here are eight “Star Wars” actors who could be nominated at this year’s Emmys.

Rosario Dawson — “Ahsoka”

Dawson will be looking to secure a nomination for her work in “Star Wars” itself. She plays the live-action version of Ahsoka Tano, a fan-favorite character who originated in the...

I think I can say this on behalf of the entire collective of reporters who cover television: Nothing makes us groan more than when a series star or producer refers to the setting as another “character” in their show.

And yet, I may have to temper my cynicism. Because in the era of prestige TV, often quite a bit of work and effort goes into making the show’s location pop — so much so that I’m almost as excited to watch the background as I am the action.

Could it be that the cliché is right? It certainly feels that way in some of this year’s Emmy contenders, much to the credit of the production designers and location scouts who make that happen. For example, watching Giancarlo Esposito take control of his life through any means necessary in AMC’s “Parish” is powerful — but the fact that he...

Exclusive: Director Cameron Van Hoy has entered production on The Prince, a new feature drama penned by Pulitzer Prize winner and Oscar nominee David Mamet. Scott Haze (Old Henry) leads a starry ensemble that also includes Nicolas Cage (Pig), J.K. Simmons (Whiplash), Giancarlo Esposito (Parish) and Andy Garcia (Ocean’s Eleven).

The Prince chronicles an addict’s tumultuous odyssey through the high-stakes world of power, pleasure, and pain on a transformative journey toward recovery.

While unconfirmed, we’re told by multiple sources close to the project that the lead character Parker, played by Haze, is inspired at least in part by Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, whose abuse of drugs and alcohol is well documented — including in his 2021 memoir Beautiful Things — and who was found guilty Tuesday in Delaware of three felony counts related to the purchase of a gun in 2018.

Giancarlo Esposito’s early works with Spike Lee showed his range as an actor and how interesting he was to watch on screen. However, he didn’t get the deserved attention for many years until Breaking Bad. The role opened up various opportunities for the actor and he has since starred in various franchises.

Esposito has now been in two extremely popular franchises playing antagonists Stan Edgar and Moff Gideon in The Boys and The Mandalorian. He is now set to enter the MCU in an unexpected role as claimed by the actor. A popular scooper has revealed his possible entry point in the MCU and fans are disappointed with it.

Giancarlo Esposito doesn’t seem to have a lot of trouble finding work. The character actor extraordinaire boasts more than 200 credits on his IMDb page going back to the 1980s, and just in the past few years he’s recurred on “The Mandalorian,” “Godfather of Harlem,” “The Boys” and “Better Call Saul.” He’s a performer whose reputation precedes him, his screen presence consistently magnetic and oft intense. His career was supercharged by his portrayal of chicken entrepreneur and drug kingpin Gus Fring – first of “Breaking Bad” and then on “Saul.” Of his portrayal of Fring, he says, “I wanted to create a character who was formidable but who was (also) polite and graceful and who took care of his business family in a certain way. It re-enthused me that there was a complete and very complicated character that I could develop with this team of writers. I recognized what...

Characters from different worlds or genres offer a fresh dynamic. Opposite roles can create engaging and enjoyable relationships. Differences in experience and genres can enhance on-screen chemistry.

There are some great dynamic duos in the world of TV who just make sense together, but some pairings are more unexpected, but they have undeniable chemistry together. TV relies on the characters and their relationships to create strong, compelling stories. If two characters have a natural chemistry, and they display a genuine connection, this can stand out in their performance and the overall quality of the show.

However, while some pairings make perfect sense, such as two comedy actors, or actors who have appeared in various roles together, the unexpected pairings can make something potentially even more interesting. Actors who typically appear in different worlds and genres, or characters that are complete opposites make for a unique dynamic. And in recent years,...

Gracian Parish (Giancarlo Esposito) is out for justice for his late teen son Maddox (Caleb Baumann) in the explosive May 5 finale of AMC‘s fast-moving thriller, Parish. “He goes after the person he really holds responsible,” says Eduardo Javier Canto, who executive produces alongside Ryan Maldonado. “And there’s a cost to that.” Will that cost lead to Parish’s moral bankruptcy? That’s always been the question for this former getaway driver turned legit businessman who was pulled back into a life of crime by his old friend and ex-con Colin (Skeet Ulrich) for a “one time” gig. Instead, Parish became a driver for a Zimbabwean crime lord, The Horse (Zackary Momoh), and was soon entangled with the man’s infighting family, the Tongais, who are human traffickers. Complicating that, corrupt tycoon Anton (Bradley Whitford), someone from Parish’s criminal past, arrived and demanded he betray The Horse. Alyssa Moran...

AMC Networks’ plans to submit the zombie spinoff “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live” as a limited series for the Emmys have been killed.

The cable network had announced plans to submit the six-episode spinoff, created by Scott M. Gimple, Danai Gurira, and Andrew Lincoln, for outstanding limited or anthology series at the Primetime Emmys. However, Variety has learned exclusively from two sources with direct knowledge that the show is ineligible to submit in the category.

In 2021, the Television Academy defined what constitutes a limited or anthology series, stating that the story must be resolved within its season without any ongoing storylines. This criteria affected past winners, such as the second season of “The White Lotus,” which was required to compete as a drama due to Jennifer Coolidge’s recurring character. According to the Academy’s ruling at the time, “the reappearance in a subsequent ‘season’ of one character...

Actor Giancarlo Esposito credits his role as Gus in Breaking Bad for saving him from trying to stage his death to give life insurance money to his family. Esposito's portrayal of Gus led to critical acclaim, numerous awards, and new opportunities in TV and film. Despite his successful career post Breaking Bad, Esposito still holds a deep connection to his iconic role.

Actor Giancarlo Esposito, who portrayed Gus Fring in Breaking Bad, has opened up about how the show saved his life, pulling him out of a very dark place he was in before getting the role. Esposito portrayed the notorious drug kingpin as a series regular during seasons 3 and 4 of the show. He later reprised the role for the prequel series Better Call Saul, becoming the most recognizable villain from the franchise.

However, Variety reports that, on an episode of Jim & Sam on SiriusXM, Esposito opened up about how...

We have recently revealed that fans on Ranker have voted Gustavo Fring from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul as the best TV villain of all time, which is something we have agreed with. Played by Giancarlo Esposito, Gustavo Fring turned out to be a formidable villain and a character with amazing development, which is why he remains one of the most popular characters from the whole franchise despite being the series’ major villain.

But, as it turns out, actor Giancarlo Esposito had been in a very bad place just before he was cast in Breaking Bad, and as it turns out – the series literally saved his life, which is an interesting revelation in light of the fact that Esposito is today one of the most popular TV actors overall.

Giancarlo Esposito looked back at his financial struggles this week, recalling a time when he considered ordering his own murder in pursuit of a life insurance payout for his family.

During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jim & Sam show, Esposito said he went through two bankruptcies before landing Breaking Bad, as well as a foreclosure on his home. At his lowest, he told the hosts, he considered suicide.

“The first thing that had me think there was a way out, was my wife’s father — God rest his soul — Pops McManigal was in insurance,” Esposito said. “So I asked [my ex-wife], I started poking around, ‘How much am I insured for?’ And then she told me. My way out in my brain was, I said, ‘Hey, do you get life insurance, if someone commits suicide, do they get the bread?’ And my wife said, ‘Well, that’s kind of tricky.’”

Esposito said from there,...

Giancarlo Esposito appeared on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s “Jim & Sam” show while promoting his new AMC drama series “Parish” and revealed that he was so broke prior to landing his iconic role of Gus Fring on “Breaking Bad” that he once considered arranging his own murder so that his children could have some financial protection courtesy of his life insurance money. The actor considered this around 2008, a year before “Breaking Bad” inextricably changed his career and opened the door for roles in “The Mandalorian,” “The Boys” and more.

Asked how he got out of near bankruptcy around 2008, Esposito said, “My way out in my brain was: ‘Hey, do you get life insurance if someone commits suicide? Do they get the bread?’ My wife had no idea why I was asking this stuff. I started scheming. If I got somebody to knock me off, death by misadventure, [my kids] would get the insurance.

“Gray, it’s been a long time.” That casual greeting – delivered with a menacing edge by Bradley Whitford in his first appearance as a new character, Anton, a powerful Louisiana businessman with strong criminal ties – gave us chills when it capped off the taut third episode of AMC’s six-part crime-thriller Parish. “Anton is probably the most dangerous of all the characters because he knows Gray [Giancarlo Esposito] better than anybody.
