There's no doubt that this year has been all about Sabrina Carpenter. From her hit singles we couldn't get out of our heads to her sold out arena tour to her first Grammy Award nominations, the talented singer-songwriter had a breakthrough in 2024. She's celebrating her biggest year yet with the Netflix special A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter.

In the holiday special, Carpenter will perform original songs from her 2023 Christmas EP fruitcake, including the special's titular song "A Nonsense Christmas" (a remix of her 1 billion streams smash single "Nonsense"), while also singing some classic carols with special guests like Shania Twain, Tyla, Kali Uchis, and fellow breakout star Chappell Roan.

Additionally, A Nonsense Christmas features comedic guest appearances from stars like Quinta Brunson, Cara Delevingne, Nico Hiraga, Kyle Mooney, Meg Stalter, Sean Astin, Owen Thiele, and Jillian Bell. In the trailer, Carpenter promises more surprises, and we can only imagine...

Keira Knightley’s long-awaited return to a high profile project; Sabrina Carpenter and friends getting everyone ready for Christmas; Angelina Jolie bringing the legendary Maria Callas to life; Tyler Perry telling the story of a women and Poc only WWII Army unit; the NFL attempting to institute a new streaming Christmas tradition; and the return of one of biggest TV series of the 21st century are some of the highlights among the new films and series hitting Netflix in December.

After a quiet few years, Keira Knightley returns as a lead in Netflix’s spy drama Black Doves, which launches on Dec. 5. In the show, Knightley plays Helen Webb, a dedicated wife and mother and professional spy. Having passed her politician husband’s secrets to the Black Doves, a shadowy group, Webb’s covert identity is endangered when a lover (Andrew Koji), is murdered and she looks to avenge his death.

Whenever scientists alert us to the possibility that a notably large asteroid could strike the earth, there’s one reaction you can count on seeing on social media: “I’m rooting for the asteroid.” (This is just one of the dozens of T-shirt designs that will let you express the sentiment.) This crowd probably has a lot of crossover with the pessimists who believe A.I. will doom us all. But what if humanity’s downfall comes from neither of those, but from the rise of super-intelligent hamsters who can beat even our fittest aspirants at getting through simple mazes? We might look back on Human vs. Hamster as a warning we should have heeded, but it will be hard to get very mad about it when our new overlords are so adorable.

Human vs. Hamster, which dropped its eight-episode season on Max today, delivers exactly what you would probably...

The HBO series follows the Roy family who own and operate one of the biggest global media and entertainment conglomerates, Waystar Royco. When the patriarch of the family, Logan Roy suddenly decides to step down, a succession battle between the Roy siblings ensues to get the top job.

The “Girls” creator is turning a very controversial boy’s life story into a film.

Lena Dunham is set to bring the rise and fall of Ftx founder Sam Bankman-Fried to the screen for an upcoming Apple Original film in partnership with A24. Dunham will adapt the screenplay from Michael Lewis’ New York Times bestselling book, “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon.”

Lewis’ past books “Moneyball” and “The Big Short” were also previously adapted to the screen. The official description of “Going Infinite” reads: “The book tells the story of Ftx’s spectacular collapse and the enigmatic founder at its center. When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was the world’s youngest billionaire and crypto’s Gatsby. CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list. Who was this...

Lena Dunham is working on the script for a feature about Ftx founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

The Girls creator is on board to write a film adapting author Michael Lewis’ best-selling 2023 book Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon. Apple Studios and A24 are producing and developing the movie that is in early development.

Bankman-Fried founded Ftx in 2019, and the cryptocurrency exchange enjoyed a rise to prominence that included the company’s commercial running during the 2022 Super Bowl. Ftx boasted endorsements from such celebrities as Tom Brady, Stephen Curry and Larry David.

In March, the disgraced crypto entrepreneur was sentenced to 25 years in prison and forced to forfeit over $11 billion following his conviction on charges of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. Bankman-Fried is appealing the conviction and sentence.

Dunham recently wrapped production on the Netflix romantic-comedy series Too Much, which she wrote and directed. She co-stars in the show alongside Megan Stalter,...

Apple and A24 have tapped Lena Dunham to adapt the Michael Lewis book Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon, which tells the story of failed Ftx founder Sam Bankman-Fried. The film is early development.

Going Infinite is the story of Ftx’s spectacular collapse and the enigmatic founder at its center. When Lewis first met him, Bankman-Fried was the world’s youngest billionaire and crypto’s Gatsby. CEOs, celebrities and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list. Who was this rumpled guy in cargo shorts and limp white socks, whose eyes twitched across Zoom meetings as he played video games on the side?

Lewis, whose previous books that became movies include The Blind Side, Moneyball and The Big Short, sets out to answer this question, taking readers into the mind of Bankman-Fried,...

Apple and A24 are in early development on a film adaptation of the Michael Lewis book “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon” with Lena Dunham attached to write the script, Variety has learned exclusively.

Apple Studios and A24 are co-developing and co-producing the film. “Going Infinite” delves into the spectacular ascension and equally spectacular implosion of the cryptocurrency exchange and hedge fund Ftx as well as its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried. The book was originally released in October 2023 and went on to become a New York Times bestseller.

The official description of the book reads:

“When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was the world’s youngest billionaire and crypto’s Gatsby. CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list.

Well, it turns out everybody wants more “Nobody Wants This.”

The hit rom-com Netflix series has been renewed for a second season, along with a showrunner shake-up. “Girls” alums Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan will be the new co-showrunners for Season 2; the series marks Konner and Kaplan’s first collaboration since their iconic HBO show, created by Lena Dunham.

“Nobody Wants This” was created and executive produced by Erin Foster, who drew inspiration from her own life to write the love story between a gentile podcaster (Kristen Bell) and a rabbi (Adam Brody). The series was released September 26 on Netflix, with Foster and executive producer Craig Digregorio as the co-showrunners.

“Creating ‘Nobody Wants This’ will forever be a career highlight for me,” Foster said. “The incredible cast, crew, producers and executives all made this into the show it is today, and to experience viewers’ reactions to this series now...

Rise up, “Hacks” hive!

The beloved HBO series has officially won the 2024 Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series for its long-awaited third season. “Hacks” stars Emmy winner Jean Smart and Emmy-nominated actress Hannah Einbinder as an aging (yet still iconic) stand-up comedian and her writing partner.

Smart has won an Emmy, SAG Award, and Critics Choice Award for playing Deborah Vance; Einbinder has been an Emmy, SAG Award, and Critics Choice Award nominee for her turn as Ava Daniels.

Shockingly, this is the first year that “Hacks” has won the coveted Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy. Both Smart and Einbinder were also nominated at the 2024 awards show.

Fellow nominated comedy series included “Abbott Elementary,” “The Bear,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “Palm Royale,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” and the respective final seasons of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Reservation Dogs.”

“Hacks” is created and showrun by Emmy winners Paul W. Downs,...

Catherine Cohen has already appeared on “Girls5eva,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens,” “Broad City,” and “Search Party,” but it turns out no other show can really top the “good vibes” from Hulu’s beloved Emmy winner “Only Murders in the Building.”

Cohen stars in Season 4 of the whodunit series that centers on neighbors-turned-podcasters Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) as they solve the pile-up of murder cases that seem to follow them everywhere…including during a bicoastal stint as their podcast is adapted into a film.

While Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Eva Longoria star as versions of themselves cast in the film adaptation of the podcast, Cohen and Siena Werber play a directing duo helming the movie. “Pachinko” alum Jin Ha is the screenwriter, with Molly Shannon as the producer setting the whole thing in motion.

Exclusive: Rising producer Anna Dragoo has joined the recently launched production company Objectively Good Media as Head of Development.

Dragoo comes to Ogm after a year and a half as an executive producer at OB42, where she established and oversaw the U.S. production division, producing for an exclusive roster of award-winning directors including Carlos López Estrada, Sean Wang, and Sandy Honig. In her new role, she will spearhead the production of feature films, TV shows, and podcasts for Ogm that amplify emerging talent with distinct perspectives and compelling narratives.

Most recently, Dragoo was an exec producer on the film I Love You, Bye, directed by Taylor James and starring Meg Stalter, Rainn Wilson and Benito Skinner. She started in television at Digital Ranch Productions, which developed and produced shows for the Discovery and History Channels. To date, her portfolio of over 150 projects includes scripted films, documentaries, music videos, commercials,...

The Nashville Film Festival (NashFilm) has Wednesday announced its full film program, including special presentations, official selections, and more for its 55th edition, running September 19-25 throughout the city. The selection includes more than 150 films, including 47 feature-length titles and more than 33 U.S., North American, and world premieres. As previously announced, a special opening night double-feature will include “Devo” and “Revel Country,” with “This Is a Film About the Black Keys” closing the festival.

Following the special opening night double-feature screening on September 19, additional notable festival presentations include: Netflix’s “Will & Harper” stars Will Ferrell and his friend Harper Steele, who recently came out as a trans woman, on a road trip to process this new phase of their friendship; Apple Original Films’ “The Last of the Sea Women,” a documentary produced by A24 and executive produced by Malala Yousafzai, follows an extraordinary band of feisty grandmother warriors as...

Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) may be the headliners of Max‘s award-winning comedy Hacks, but their manager Jimmy (played by co-creator and co-showrunner Paul W. Downs) made his biggest impression yet with the show’s Emmy-nominated third season. Already recognized for his contribution to the show as a writer, Downs was bestowed with a coveted nomination on behalf of his performance as the fan-favorite character Jimmy, one half of the not-so-dynamic duo that also includes Megan Stalter‘s Kayla. Nominated in the category Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, Downs is finally being recognized for his underrated performance onscreen. “I was so surprised but so happy,” Downs tells TV Insider, adding, “It was really cool” to learn about his acting nomination. Downs previously won an Emmy alongside co-showrunners Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. Max While Downs was...

From social media to the big screen, Meg Stalter is peeling back her many layers as she marks her first starring role in Cora Bora.

The Ohio-born actress recently opened up about her “sweet and rewarding” part in writer Rhianon Jones and director Hannah Pearl Utt‘s new comedy-drama, which premiered at SXSW last year, as well as her journey from social media phenom to Hacks breakout and beyond.

“I think my comedy translates well to this movie because it’s a character who’s kind of losing their mind but trying to pretend like they’re not,” Stalter tells Deadline. “And that’s like a lot of the people I like to play outside of the movie. So, it kind of works.”

She stars as the titular Cora, a struggling musician who puts her career on hold to return home and win back her girlfriend Justine (Jojo T. Gibbs...

Heather Graham’s chosen family is growing.

The actress-turned-filmmaker’s latest big-screen effort, Chosen Family, has been acquired by Brainstorm Media for North America with a theatrical release set for Oct. 11.

Written, directed by and starring Graham, the Verdi Prods. film also stars John Brotherton, Ella Grace Helton, Andrea Savage, Michael Gross, Julie Halston, Thomas Lennon and Julia Stiles. Chosen Family follows a yoga teacher named Ann (Graham) who is on a path to find inner peace amidst the chaos of her manic family and miserable dating life. The situation is complicated by an inability to say no and her relentless desire to fix everyone’s problems. She also struggles to save her sister Clio (Stiles) from addiction, leading to disastrous results.

Graham said she can’t wait for audiences to see her film, which she describes as a labor of love. “I’m so excited that Brainstorm is releasing...

Will “The Bear” explode in nominations for Season 2? (Probably.) Will “The Morning Show” finally get its first drama series nomination? (Yes.) Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here with their final Emmy nominations predictions.

After winning 10 Emmys, including Best Comedy Series, for its maiden season, “The Bear” will likely expand in nominations for its even more acclaimed sophomore installment. But is it strong enough to pull in a coattail nominee like Molly Gordon in supporting actress? Or will “Hacks” score a coattail with Meg Stalter after its excellent third season? And could both Meryl Streep and Janelle James be snubbed?

Lena Dunham will not subject herself to negative critiques about her body and has opted not to return to acting in her new Netflix series Too Much.

In a new interview, Dunham said she won’t be starring in her semi-autobiographic show on the streamer because of all the body shaming she faced on HBO’s Girls.

“I was not willing to have another experience like what I’d experienced around Girls at this point in my life,” Dunham said in an interview with The New Yorker. “Physically, I was just not up for having my body dissected again. It was a hard choice, not to cast [Megan Stalter]—because I knew I wanted Meg—but to admit that to myself.”

She continued, “I used to think that winning meant you just keep doing it and you don’t care what anybody thinks. I forgot that winning is actually just...

Lena Dunham is no longer attached to the previously announced Polly Pocket film.

In a wide-ranging interview with The New Yorker published Tuesday, the Girls creator revealed that despite working on a script for three years, she decided it wasn’t the right project for her.

“I’m not going to make the Polly Pocket movie. I wrote a script, and I was working on it for three years. But I remember someone once said to me about Nancy Meyers: the thing that’s the most amazing about her is that the movie she makes or the movie she would be making with or without a studio, with or without notes—that somehow her taste manages to intersect perfectly with what the world wants. What a fucking gift that is. And Nora Ephron, too, who was such a mentor to me, but always said, ‘Go be weird. Don’t kowtow to anyone,...

Lena Dunham revealed in a new interview with The New Yorker that she is no longer attached to Mattel’s “Polly Pocket” movie, which was announced back in 2021 with the “Girls” creator writing and directing and “Emily in Paris” favorite Lily Collins set to star. The film, along with Barney and Hot Wheels, is one of several projects Mattel had its in development pipeline as a follow-up to last year’s blockbuster “Barbie.” It turns out Greta Gerwig’s Oscar winner provided Dunham with the clarity she needed to put ‘Polly Pocket” aside.

“I’m not going to make the Polly Pocket movie,” Dunham announced. “I wrote a script, and I was working on it for three years. But I remember someone once said to me about Nancy Meyers: the thing that’s the most amazing about her is that the movie she makes or the movie she would...

Although 2023 Emmy nominations voters were able to view the entire second season of “The Bear” while judging the merits of its first, the team behind the FX series did not employ a similar strategy in 2024. Nonetheless, the newly released third season will still influence TV academy members as they spend part of August deciding whether season two is worthy of any wins. The latest episodes have already impacted the mindsets of Gold Derby’s 2024 Emmy predictors, who have collectively boosted its odds in several categories over the past week.

As has been the case since this Emmys season began, “The Bear” currently holds over 80% of the Best Comedy Series win votes in our predictions center. Even now that our number of participating readers exceeds 3,000, none of this category’s other candidates have managed to crack 10%. “The Bear” is also expected to dominate five of the six comedy acting races,...

Everywhere Cora (Megan Stalter) goes, she finds herself in situations that beg others to ask one simple yet pointed question: “What is wrong with you?” Cora may brush off such flippant passive-aggressive digs at her wellbeing and overall sense of composure, but it’s soon clear that Hannah Pearl Utt’s wry comedy “Cora Bora” will forcefully (and hilariously) get this aspiring musician to reckon with the life she’s trying to build for herself in Los Angeles, away from her family, her girlfriend and a past she’ll soon no longer be able to run away from.

Life in L.A. doesn’t seem to be going well for Cora. In between daytime gigs at mostly empty coffee shops and late night gigs at even emptier bars, her solo career looks to be floundering. With titles like “Dreams Are Stupid” and “Don’t Wanna Hear You Anymore,” her embittered...

When Season 3 of “Hacks” premiered at the beginning of May, reaching that moment had been hard won.

Nearly two years had passed since its second season concluded; real life simply got in the way. The writers strike and the actors strikes caused delays, but even before that — and on a more serious, human note — the show’s two-time Emmy-winning star Jean Smart had emergency heart surgery.

Nevertheless, she persisted. “Hacks” — the creation of Jen Statsky, Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs — roared back for its third season, perhaps its best yet.

The season returned with a time jump, with legendary comedian Deborah Vance (Smart) basking in the triumphant success of the deep, thoughtful and hilarious stand-up special she created with her partner in comedy, Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder). Deborah, however, is never one to stay content, and decides to go after a soon-to-be vacant late-night talk show hosting gig, one...

Ayden Mayeri has joined the cast of an upcoming Peacock comedy series led by Steph Curry and Adam Pally.

Per the official logline, the currently untitled series follows Danny (Pally), “a down-on-his-luck memorabilia dealer who looks for redemption by reuniting with his sixth-grade teammate, NBA legend Steph Curry.”

Say what you will about Warner Bros. Discovery’s business practices, but Max knows it has a very good thing in “Hacks.” The award-winning comedy, which is likely to be the only serious competition for FX’s “The Bear” at this year’s Emmys, has already been renewed for Season 4. The news couldn’t have come at a better time, as the explosive Season 3 finale, which is titled “Bulletproof” and is now streaming, sets Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) down a surprising new path as the former’s stint as the host of a late night show officially gets underway. But their relationship isn’t the only one changing as the season comes to an end — Jimmy (co-creator Paul W. Downs) and Kayla (scene-stealer Meg Stalter) embark on a new chapter, too. A brilliant, complex and altogether hilarious look at friendship, ambition and women in Hollywood, “Hacks” is...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers for “Bulletproof,” the Season 3 finale of “Hacks.”

The hacks of “Hacks” are moving up in the world, but not without a cost.

After tireless work alongside Ava (Hannah Einbinder), Jimmy (Paul W. Downs) and Kayla (Megan Stalter), the penultimate episode of “Hacks” Season 3 saw Deborah finally land the late-night hosting gig she’d been dreaming of since having her first chance taken away decades ago. In the finale, titled “Bulletproof,” her celebration gets cut short as she starts to prepare for the onslaught of pressure to come.

It hasn’t been long since Deborah reinvited her sister Kathy (J. Smith-Cameron) into her life after cutting her off years ago for having an affair with her husband, but she then distractedly whittles down a weekend they’d planned together to a single day, during which she reveals that she secretly had their parents’ remains removed...

The Hacks team is here to stay as Max orders Season 4 of the critically acclaimed comedy starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder. Announced timed to the Season 3 finale, Hacks‘ renewal is sure to leave fans relieved after a twist cliffhanger ending between Smart’s Deborah Vance and Einbinder’s Ava Daniels. Over the course of nine episodes, viewers tracked the latest chapter of Deborah and Ava’s professional and personal relationship as the standup pursued late-night television and the writer briefly explored new opportunities in Los Angeles before reteaming. In addition to Smart and Einbinder, Season 3 of the award-winning series helmed by showrunners Lucia Aniello, Paul W.

The IndieWire review gave the third installment an A- rating, with critic Ben Travers writing, “After Season 3, it’s clear they’re going to chase their connection as far as it goes, consequences be damned. And we’re right there with them, hoping for the best.”

Deborah Vance is coming back for more.

Max has renewed comedy series Hacks, starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, for a fourth season.

The news comes hours after the finale of the third season – titled “Bulletproof” – dropped on the Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service.

Smart’s Vance begins the season riding high off the success of her standup special while Einbinder’s Ava pursues new opportunities back in Los Angeles. However, they obviously pair up again and [Spoiler Alert], Vance may or may not have just scored a massive late-night win.

It is three o’clock in the morning at a blackjack table inside Las Vegas’s sprawling Caesar’s Palace casino. A woman in town on business has just turned a $150 bankroll into $800, and she moves to retire to the nearby bar to buy her work family, whose fortunes at the same table have varied, a drink.

“I swear I barely know how to play,” she tells them. “But I do know the most important thing is to leave the table before your luck runs out.”

Jean Smart already has five gilded Emmy awards causing her shelves to groan under pressure. She deserves another for her “barely know how to play” nonsense. She has spent the evening feeding me advice on basic blackjack strategy — it’s my first time at the tables — yet I have only two chips left, totaling all of six dollars.

I follow Smart to the bar...

For “Hacks” co-creator, writer, director and co-star Paul W. Downs, Season 3 of the Emmy Award-winning series offered the chance for a new honorific: series regular. Downs and his frequent scene partner Meg Stalter were upped to full-time cast members for the Season 3 episodes, as their characters – respectively, talent manager Jimmy and his loyal assistant Kayla – became more integrated into the show’s story.

“I had to go method. I had to really be booking things for Jean Smart,” Downs jokes during a recent exclusive video interview with Gold Derby about the status change.

Co-created by Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky, the third season of “Hacks” focuses primarily on the contentious and often fruitful relationship between the legendary comedian Deborah Vance (Smart) and her former comedy writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) as they reconnect and work toward Deborah’s ultimate goal of hosting a late-night show. The third season, which...
