The upcoming season, however,will be concluding the show for good.The Neighborhood, to the audience’s surprise, one of the few shows that couldn’t get renewed at the time when CBS unveiled some early renewals last month....

A film adaptation ofThe Stars My Destinationhas been in development for decades, but no filmmaker has managed to crackAlfred Bester’s influential 1957 sci-fi novel. While it begins with a plotline that’s kind of likeThe Count of Monte Cristoin outer space, it branches out into a lot of direction, some of which would never make the cut in a modern day film adaptation (for example, the protagonist, Gully Foyle, rapes a woman at one point)....

For 10 seasons,Larry David’sCurb Your Enthusiasmhassucceeded with a simple formula: something bad befalls Larry, he’s upset, more often than not justifiably, but every single time, as only he can do,he finds a way to make things much, much worse. Audiences love the over-the-top absurdity. He gets to say and do the things we’d never dream of. It’s a perfectly concocted, exaggerated look into the life of the man who createdSeinfeld, and a fix for those who miss that series....

It’s a tough row to hoe when you are so thoroughly attached to a singular, seminal role likeBryan Cranstonis to Walter White inBreaking Bad.Burrowing out into different characters and a career afterward requires the audience to take a leap of faithand mentally compartmentalizethat iconic performance. It is even more challenging for television actors transitioning to full-time film players because viewers have spent so many years settling in every week to watch their favorite performances....

Wanna watchDavid Lyncheat a donut? Yes? Okay, cool. Just checking. The creator ofTwin Peaksis, obviously, returning to spearhead the revival series coming to Showtime later next year, but he’s also back as FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole. The network announced the character in a new teaser video, which mostly focuses on his snacking skills. Cole went through Quantico with Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), but sometime around 1969 or so, he suffered severe hearing loss from an incident he commonly prefers to as “a long story....

We’ll probably get a newVenomtrailer next week when the film hits San Diego Comic-Con, but for the time being,EWhas released a couple new images from the upcoming superhero movie. For those unfamiliar with the character, in the comics he came from an alien symbiote that was previously attached to Spider-Man, so when it found disgraced journalist Eddie Brock, the symbiote gave him Spider-Man’s powers. However, the movie won’t involve Spider-Man, so in a recent interview with EW, we learn that they’re just cutting Spidey out of the story and it’s about a disgraced journalist who merges with an alien symbiote....
