They could also just as easily be playing two more victims of the Ghostface killer. In any case, all fans can do at this time is speculate with no additional information known about the roles.

Randolph is best known for her breakout role in Landman, the Paramount+ series in which she plays the daughter of Billy Bob Thornton's character. She also has a role in the Yellowstone prequel series 1923. Scream 7...

If The Cat in the Hat ever receives another live-action adaptation, the powers that be should know who to cast as the titular Dr. Seuss character. Fan-favorite digital creator BossLogic has returned with a new piece of art that imagines The Penguin star Cristin Milioti as The Cat in the Hat.

After a behind-the-scenes image of Milioti from the set of The Penguin was shared online, a DC fan noted that the Sofia Falcone actor "low-key" looked like Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat, who was previously played in live-action by Mike Myers in a 2003 adaptation that is widely regarded as one of the worst movies ever made. After BossLogic noticed the fan's comment, he was spurred into action, using his talents to transform Milioti into The Cat in the Hat. The final product is both hilarious and a bit unsettling. Check out Milioti as The Cat in the Hat below.

Cristin Milioti, the star of Peacock’s The Resort, offered a sad update on the possibility of a Season 2.

The show follows Milioti’s Emma and William Jackson Harper’s Noah, a troubled couple on vacation in the Yucatan who end up in over their heads investigating an unsolved disappearance from 15 years ago.

While the finale aired on September 1, 2022, there has been no word on the show's proper status. While it hasn't been renewed, it also hasn't been canceled, leaving its fate dangling in limbo.

If you're still feeling down in the dumps over "The Batman Part II" being delayed a full year while Warner Bros. figures this DC s**t out, I come bearing good news. "The Penguin," a spin-off series centered on Colin Farrell's crime boss Oswald "Oz" Cobb, aka The Penguin, is coming later this year and it looks to serve as a quasi-sequel to Matt Reeves' Fincher-esque, noirish take on the Caped Crusader. This will also mark the second time the titular Batman villain's rise to power in Gotham City's criminal underworld has been covered on the small screen after "Gotham," a deliriously ridiculous show in which, at one point, one of the series' heroes uncovers a corpse in a refrigerator and immediately pops the cap off a nice cool beverage on the top shelf, reasoning, "If I don't drink it, forensics will."

"The Penguin," by comparison, clearly strikes a...

Nick Offerman's upcoming role in "Civil War" pays off a dark quote from his "Parks & Rec" character, Ron Swanson. Offerman's portrayal of the President in "Civil War" aligns with Ron Swanson's disdain for the government. Playing the President feels fitting for Offerman, given Ron Swanson's well-known hatred for the government.

Nick Offerman is best known for his comedy work, with his most notable role to date being Ron Swanson in the sitcom Parks & Recreation. Offerman’s performance stood out for his deadpan style and sarcastic lines, as well as for his hatred for the government (while he worked for it), love for meat, whiskey, and woodworking, and for hardly ever showing emotion aside from annoyance.

“Sovereign is a timely and captivating story and all of us at Briarcliff are looking forward to working with Christian, Nick, the Concourse team and this stellar cast on what will be a gripping ride for movie audiences,” said Tom Ortenberg, Briarcliff Entertainment CEO.

Anyone who grew up in a dysfunctional household knows just how traumatic childhood can be. In Moon Garden, writer/director Ryan Stevens Harris visualizes those traumas as the nightmarish denizens of the dark, industrial wasteland that a young girl finds herself trapped in.

Emma lives with her parents Sara and Alex. They love Emma, but they don’t love each other anymore. After getting a scare one night she runs to their room, only to encounter something even scarier, the two of them in the midst of a loud, intense argument. Running from it she trips and takes a fall down the stairs which leaves her in a coma. Her struggle to awake from it becomes a nightmarish trip...

Spoiler Alert! This story contains plot points from the finale of 1923 on Paramount+.

The first season of 1923 ended Sunday with not one but three rather dismal developments: Spencer Dutton (Brendan Sklenar) and his wife Alex (Julia Schlaepfer) were torn apart at sea, Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton) told Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) that he pretty much owns him after having paid the property taxes on Yellowstone, and Elizabeth Dutton (Michelle Randolph) lost the first baby she conceived with her new husband Jack (Darren Mann). Leave it to creator Taylor Sheridan to keep things challenging and sad as hell in his Yellowstone-verse!

Here, actress Randolph — a relative newcomer whose credits include The Resort and The Undertaker’s Wife — talks about shooting that heartbreaking scene with Mann. She also reveals who she likes spending time with now that production has wrapped and what fans always want to talk about if they ever meet her on the street.

Everybody does it – sits glazed in front of the TV, wearing the remote button thin with endless scrolling. That’s meant to be good, isn’t it? Didn’t we like that other thing he was in? With the horse. No, I’m thinking of a different guy. Oh, just put The Office on.

Best of the Best: The Last of Us

Stream on: HBO, HBO Max, Sky Atlantic, Now (episode 1 free on YouTube in the UK).

The ensemble for Academy Award nominee Ava DuVernay’s upcoming film “Caste” is growing more star-studded with the addition of Niecy Nash-Betts, Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Nick Offerman, Jasmine Cephas Jones and Connie Nielsen.

The six actors join Academy Award nominee Aunjanue Ellis, who was previously announced as the lead in the film inspired by Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson’s “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.” Described in The New York Times as “an instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far,” the book — and subsequently DuVernay’s film — examines the system of hierarchy that has shaped America.

DuVernay writes, directs and produces the film alongside her longtime collaborator Array Filmworks’ Paul Garnes. “Caste” is currently in production in Georgia, financed by J4A.

Nash-Betts and Farmiga reunite with DuVernay after each earning Emmy nominations for their performances in the 2019 Netflix...

As noted in our Best TV Shows list, there was just a lot of television in 2022. It’s so, so easy for great work to get lost in the relentless churn of new streaming content, even as reality programming bends us ever closer to the “30 Rock” universe. It’s even easier for great musical work to get lost on television, where scores are able to have an ambition and originality the rest of a legacy IP production might lack, or to embrace experimental elements viewers may not even notice while they’re watching a conventional-looking scene. We double-checked that film legends John Williams and Howard Shore came to TV to score themes this year, because it feels like a million years ago already now.

Speaking of legacies, Ramin Djawadi and Siddhartha Khosla pushed the boundaries of some of the most iconic recent scores on television even as “The House...

Surprisingly not titled A V/H/S Christmas, or as close to that as the lawyers would allow, The Christmas Tapes is an anthology film that reunites actor/producer Greg Sestero with Infrared’s writing/directing team Robert Livings and Randy Nundlall Jr.

The Christmas Tapes consists of four found footage segments and a wraparound in which a family, Bill, his wife Lisa and their kids Eli (Joshua Rose; Closure) and Rachel (Ruby Setnik; Sundays) have their Christmas Eve interpreted by a stranger (Greg Sestero). He holds them at gunpoint. Since Rachel is an aspiring filmmaker he has the perfect gift, four VHS tapes that should inspire her.

The first of these, “Travel...

What To Expect...

Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy reveals who will direct episodes for season 2. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story began the process of expanding the Star Wars universe under the Disney umbrella. Now that universe has expanded again thanks to the Disney+ Rogue One spinoff Andor.

But the expansion represented by Andor is not one of scale so much as tone. Before Andor, Star Wars lived in the realm of entertainment targeted at audiences of all age-groups, resulting in shows like The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi. But now with Andor, Star Wars has proven that it can live in the adult prestige TV realm, telling complicated stories about morally ambiguous characters. And critics have noticed too, as evidenced by Andor season 1’s 92 Rotten Tomatoes score.
