The finale of Shōgun pushed the series to its best showing so far on Nielsen’s streaming charts.
The FX-produced Hulu series had 608 million minutes of viewing time for the week of its finale, April 22-28. That’s a 45 percent jump from the prior week and Shōgun’s highest total in the nine weeks it has made the top 10. Its previous best was 513 million minutes for its premiere week, which featured the debut of two episodes.
Fallout claimed the overall No. 1 spot for the third straight week, the first such streak for a show on Amazon’s Prime Video. The series had 1.53 billion minutes of viewing, down by about 41 percent week to week. Its three-week total is now a little over 7 billion minutes.
Netflix’s water-cooler drama Baby Reindeer saw a 36 percent jump in viewing, climbing to 915 million minutes from 673 million a week earlier. Several original series also made...

Even though the Bridgerton fandom has 9 books on which to base their assumptions about the upcoming seasons, they are still left in the dark about some important details. Of course, as with any adaptation, the show's creators tend to make changes to the story to fit the new format.
From adding new characters to expand the ensemble storyline to cutting out the controversial scenes that don't hold up today and replacing them with something new, the changes are inevitable. And even though we haven't seen Benedict Bridgerton's full story yet, there are already some differences from the book series.
Who Will Play Sophie in Bridgerton?
In Benedict's book, An Offer From a Gentleman, Benedict ends up with his love interest named Sophie Beckett. Without giving away too many spoilers, the couple spends a few years before finally giving in to their feelings and ending all the back and forth.

How do the makers of Bridgerton keep a fandom as dedicated as theirs guessing? How does the Netflix show surprise a core of fans who are so intimately familiar with Julia Quinn’s source books that they’re anticipating every blush and ball before it even gets to the screen?
One solution, as has happened in season three, is to play with the established order of things. Though Benedict Bridgerton’s romance follows on from that of his brother Anthony’s in Quinn’s book series, the TV show has (rightly!) vaulted over that to first show the love story between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.
Their other answer? Invention. In addition to TV-only characters Madame Delacroix, Will and Alice Mondrich and Queen Charlotte herself, a new raft of invented-for-the-show characters appear in season three. Here they all are, along with info on the actors playing them, plus a couple...

The final season may have concluded in 2022 but the BBC isn’t letting go of legal drama The Split just yet, with a Barcelona-set special greenlit three months after a Manchester spin off.
Abi Morgan’s show ended in 2022 after three seasons but the BBC has since ordered The Split Up in February and is now heading to Spain for a two-parter with Nicola Walker’s Hannah and family, while Toby Stephens is set to join the cast.
In the special, the Defoes are back and have gathered for a beautiful wedding at a vineyard, nestled in Catalonia’s wine region. Set across one sun soaked weekend, The Split special will encompass break-ups, reunions and plenty romance.
Stephens will play new character Archie Moore, while most of the original cast are set to return.

Arr you ready to walk the plank into some sexy, swashbuckling pirate action? Well, then you’re about as lucky as a treasure chest full of gold coins, because all four seasons of Black Sails are now streaming on Netflix.
The historical adventure drama, which originally ran on Starz from 2014 to 2017, hails from creators Jonathan E. Steinberg and Robert Levine. Black Sails combines characters from Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island with real historical figures and events to make an action-packed prequel to the classic 1883 adventure novel.
The pilot episode is directed by Neil Marshall, who also helmed Game of Thrones’ famous nautical battle episode “Blackwater,” which should give you some idea of what Black Sails is like. And action movie maestro Michael Bay is one of the series’ executive producers, which should definitely give you a sense of its scale. It’s an ambitious show...

AMC Networks announced today that the four-part Australian rural noir crime drama Scrublands will premiere on Thursday, May 2, on Sundance Now and AMC+, with additional episodes dropping weekly on both platforms.
Based on Chris Hammer’s award-winning and bestselling crime novel by the same name, the captivating series follows a country town grappling with the aftermath of a horrible crime, still trying to come to terms with it a year on.
In an isolated and struggling country town, a charismatic and dedicated priest, Father Byron Swift, calmly opens fire on his congregation, killing five parishioners. One year later, investigative journalist Martin Scarsden arrives in Riversend to write what should be a simple feature story on the anniversary of the tragedy.
But when Martin’s instincts kick in, and he digs beneath the surface, the previously accepted narrative begins to fall apart, and he finds himself in a life-and-death race to uncover the truth.

The folks at Platinum Dunes, the production company headed up by Michael Bay and Bradley Fuller, clearly love working with director Jonathan Liebesman. After working with Liebesman on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, they had him attached to direct their reboot of Friday the 13th for a while – and even though Liebesman wasn’t at the helm of that one by the time it went into production, they did work with him again, on their 2014 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Now, a decade later, Platinum Dunes and Jonathan Liebesman are re-teaming for a werewolf movie called Wolf Night.
Deadline wasn’t able to dig up much information on Wolf Night, but they did learn that the project is being described as “District 9 by way of The Purge“. Will Honley, whose writing credits include Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, wrote the screenplay with April Maguire.

Black Sails premiered 10 years ago today on Starz. The pirate drama built a strong fan base over the course of its four seasons, one that’s still singing its praises today. In December, it was said that Black Sails would stream on Netflix starting January 1, 2024. As of the time of publication, it’s still not available on the streamer, causing confusion among fans. But star Toby Stephens is excited by the prospect nonetheless. Black Sails is a prequel set 20 years before the events of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel Treasure Island. It stars Stephens as Captain Flint, known throughout the West Indies for being the most brilliant, most feared of all the Golden Age pirates. It also stars Jessica Parker Kennedy as the sharp and seductive Max. The actors continue the nautical theme as Poseidon and Medusa in Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians, created by Black Sails...

After hearing Poseidon’s name mentioned throughout Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ first six episodes, we’ll finally meet the Greek god who rules the sea.
Tuesday’s penultimate episode, titled “We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of,” will see Black Sails alum Toby Stephens make his debut in the live-action Disney+ show as Poseidon. Given that the powerful sea god has been Mia from Percy’s life thus far — a few divine interventions being the exception — it’s easy to write him off as an uncaring dad. However, the upcoming installment looks to put things in perspective. It’s...

The TV Academy tonight paid poignant tribute to those who’ve passed away in the past 12 months. Among the big names highlighted by the In Memoriam segment were Norman Lear, Matthew Perry, Angela Lansbury and Andre Braugher.
Charlie Puth and husband-and-wife duo The War and Treaty accompanied this year’s “In Memoriam” video montage as it unspooled with a rendition of “See You Again.” The segment started off with Lear and ended with Perry.
Soon after it aired on Fox, fans took to social media to express their disapproval over omissions, the biggest being Ryan O’Neal. Known for his film work, O’Neal, who died December 8, also co-starred on the TV series Peyton Place from 1964-69.
O’Neal’s son Patrick said on Twitter that he was “sad and mad” over the decision to exclude his dad from the tribute.

The Taylor Sheridan Western series Yellowstone, headlined by Kevin Costner, is set to make its Netflix debut in a few select regions with multiple seasons arriving mid-way through January 2024.
This is the second major Paramount series to head to Netflix internationally in recent months. You may recall we recently reported on Yellowjackets headed to Netflix in international territories. In that case, we saw the show drop in at least 15 countries according to Unogs. Those include Latin American territories like Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico. We also saw it touch down on Netflix in Australia, India, and South Africa. A few European countries got it, too, including Greece, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania.
We can’t confirm all the regions set to get Yellowstone, but we have seen notices on Netflix in all the LatAm countries plus India thus far.

Recently, it was announced that Dave Filoni would step into the role of chief creative officer at Lucasfilm, indicating a more hands-on approach to shaping upcoming Star Wars projects. Despite numerous projects in the pipeline, one that remains unconfirmed officially is the second season of ‘Ahsoka.’ Given that Filoni penned the first season, he’s the go-to person for insights into the future narrative.
In an episode of EW’s ‘Dagobah Dispatch’ podcast, Filoni not only addressed the potential second season but also delved into the late Ray Stevenson’s role and the challenges arising from his passing, considering his significant part in the story. As a quick recap, Stevenson’s character, Baylan Skoll, left his intentions ambiguous in the first season’s finale, leaving fans speculating about his plans as he stood before the statues of Mortis Gods on Peridea. Filoni characterized Baylan Skoll as a character driven by dangerous ambition.

A few days ago, massive news landed that Dave Filoni was selected as a chief creative officer for Lucasfilm, meaning that he would take a more active role in the development of upcoming Star Wars projects, and we know that there are plenty of projects in the works. However, one project that still hasn’t been confirmed in an official sense is ‘Ahsoka’ season 2, as the first season was successful and ended on somewhat of a cliffhanger.
Filoni himself wrote ‘Ahsoka,’ so he is the best person to ask what’s going to happen in the future and how the story will move forward. In EW’s Dagobah Dipatch podcast, Filoni commented on the potential second season of the show, as well as the late Ray Stevenson and the potential problems that will now arise with his passing, as he was always intended to be a massive part of the story.

“The Gilded Age,” Julian Fellowes’ critically lauded follow-up to “Downton Abbey,” has returned for a second season on HBO. Although “The Gilded Age” slightly alters the formula that made “Downton Abbey” so popular, swapping out turn-of-the-century England for a rapidly developing America in the late 1800s, it takes place just a few decades before its predecessor. Does that just reflect Fellowes’ fascination with a particular period? Or should we take it as a sign from a master of the genre that this is the ideal setting for a period piece TV show?
Inspired by “The Gilded Age” Season 2, we took a look at Ranker’s list of the 101 Best Period Piece TV Shows (24K votes) to see if readers’ favorite period dramas and comedies happen to center around one period in particular.

‘Star Wars’ fans were surprised in May by the sudden passing of Ray Stevenson, just a few months before the ‘Ahsoka’ series was set to be released. Stevenson played Baylan Skoll, a crucial character in the show. After his final appearance, the cast of the latest ‘Star Wars’ series on Disney+ shared a heartfelt tribute for the late actor.
Ivanna Sakhno, who plays Baylan’s apprentice in the series, shared her thoughts on Instagram. She posted a meaningful message with an image from Norse mythology showing Skoll and Hati, the big wolves linked to chasing the sun and the moon. Some people think that Dave Filoni got the names of the original characters from this mythology.

One Piece, the live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s best-selling manga, just wrapped its second week at No. 1 in Netflix’s Top 10 with another dominating performance internationally. And, in what is becoming a right of passage for every series that hits it big with young adults these days (like Netflix’s Wednesday), One Piece sparked a TikTok craze with tributes to its demented villain Buggy.
In an interview with Deadline, One Piece executive producers, Tomorrow Studios’ Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements, spoke about how the tide turned on TikTok, with skeptical fans of the manga and anime series embracing the live-action adaptation of the story about a young man and his pirate crew’s search for the fabled “One Piece” treasure.

When we reviewed Trauma Therapy: Psychosis it was mentioned the fillm was a reworked version of The Vance Institute. A was originally shot with the intent of being released in black and white with a few colour scenes. Instead, it was released all in colour.
There was also new footage added featuring Tom Sizemore as the host of The Tom Sizemore Show interviewing Victor, one of the characters from the 2019 film Trauma Therapy. After Sizemore died this made a centrepiece of the film’s publicity as his last film despite there being several more of his films yet to be released.
This was shot and edited in without the participation of the original director, Lawrie Brewster who says he was assured he would have the final cut.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers through Episode 2 of “One Piece,” now streaming on Netflix.
When Marc Jobst came on as director and executive producer of “One Piece,” Netflix and Tomorrow Studios’ adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s iconic pirate manga, he had a clear connection to the gig early on, as he had directed multiple episodes of the high-seas drama “Black Sails.” That show, which ran for four season on Starz, features several of the ships that Netflix commandeered to refashion into the bright and colorful ones used in “One Piece.”
While the series’ crew was handling that overhaul, Jobst was working to create an overall aesthetic for the “blue skies” adaptation of “One Piece” that also allowed for the natural incorporation of the manga’s darkest elements, including villain Buggy the Clown (Jeff Ward).

Fans of Outlander know that season 7 ended with a cliffhanger before it took its midseason break. The first seven episodes made their debut in the summer of 2023, but the second half of season 7 most likely won’t pick up until early 2024. With the ongoing writer’s strike, viewers are left wondering what to watch during both this midseason droughtlander and an overall lack of new content.
In the meantime, here are seven shows to check out for Outlander fans.
‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’
A time-traveling romance centered around Clare Abshire, played by Rose Leslie, and her husband Henry DeTamble, played by Theo James. Henry’s uncontrollable time-travel disorder strains their relationship, but they bond during his visits to the past, marrying when their timelines align.

It’s taken a while, but more than five years after the credits rolled on Star Wars Rebels, we’re finally getting some payoff for its cliffhanger ending in Dave Filoni’s Ahsoka on Disney+. The Rebels creator is effectively giving us a live-action season 5, while also gifting fans the long-awaited solo series for the talented Togruta.
Alongside Rosario Dawson taking the lead as Ahsoka, a mix of new and returning faces sees Rebels alumni David Tennant and Lars Mikkelsen reprise their roles, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Natasha Liu Bordizzo take over from previous voice actors, and the likes of Ivanna Sakhno and Ray Stevenson playing brand-new roles. Sadly for Stevenson, he didn’t get to see the breakout reaction to Baylan Skoll.

Disney+’s “Ahsoka” finally has its first trailer as well as its first universally available glimpse of the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll. The series, which will consist of eight episodes, is set to premiere Aug. 23.
The trailer, which you can watch above, starts with Stevenson’s voice ominously saying, “War is inevitable. One must destroy in order to create.” Cloaked in black, Stevenson-as-Baylan then uses the force to send several officers flying and whispers, “We are no Jedi,” before murdering someone with his lightsaber.
The trailer then darts between action shots from the upcoming series and dramatic exposition. One minute Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) is warning others of the threatening Thrawn’s return. The next Sabine (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) is narrowly skidding on her motorcycle underneath a ship. Add in some lightsaber duels, a couple of droids and some rebel talk and you’ve got yourself a “Star War.
