Filming on the sixth and final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” has, at long last, begun, Hulu announced on Friday. The network shared a photo of star Elisabeth Moss, who’s also directing and holding a clapboard, with the note that the Emmy-winning series will return in spring of 2025.
It’s been nearly two years since the Season 5 finale and a year-and-a-half since executive producers Erich Tuchman and Yahlin Chang were named co-showrunners for Season 6.
Longtime showrunner and series creator Bruce Miller stepped away from the drama after five seasons to focus on the development of its upcoming sequel series “The Testaments,” which like “Handmaid’s Tale” is based on the book of the same name by Margaret Atwood. It’s set 15 years after the events of “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Miller is still involved with the final season as an executive producer and writer.

The final season of The Handmaid’s Tale is finally underway.
Hulu on Friday shared an image of series lead Elisabeth Moss holding a slate from the opening day of filming on the show’s sixth and last season. The slate shows that cameras began rolling on Sept. 3 — and that Moss is directing the first episode (she previously helmed six episodes across seasons four and five).
The Disney-owned streamer also said that season six will premiere in spring 2025, which will mean about a 2 1/2-year gap between the season five finale, which debuted Nov. 9, 2022, and the final season opener. Production on The Handmaid’s Tale had been scheduled to resume in fall 2023 but was pushed back as striking writers and actors negotiated for, and eventually won, better contracts with media companies. Lining up schedules for the show’s cast further moved the start date to this week.

Director Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love has added Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek to an already eye-catching cast, including Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattison and Lakeith Stanfield.
It’s been seven years since Lynne Ramsay (pictured) last made a feature, and as a filmmaker who;s never been what you might call prolific, we’re glad we won’t be waiting too much longer for her latest project to materialise. Called Die, My Love, the film is already in production and is about “a woman driven to the brink of insanity by marriage and motherhood.”
It’s based on the novel of the same name by Ariana Harwicz and will be produced by Martin Scorsese, who you may have heard of. Die, My Love marks Ramsay’s her first film since 2017, that one being the excellent You Were Never Really Here starring Joaquin Phoenix.

Over the course of five seasons, we’ve watched June’s journey to escape Gilead in The Handmaid’s Tale. The series has certainly grown from what it originally started, which was about surviving this horrific world. It’s become one about the different individual journeys for handmaids, Marthas, and wives.
The Handmaid’s Tale season 6 is officially the end. While the Hulu series is popular, it certainly needed to wrap things up. This is one that couldn’t just get an abrupt ending, and it needed time to plan the closure. That’s what it has.
Filming is only just starting up, and here’s what we know about this final season.

His son Kiefer Sutherland called him “one of the most important actors in the history of film.”

Like many other TV shows, the release of the final season of The Handmaid's Tale was affected by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. While the renewal was announced in 2022, even before the last season was released on Hulu, fans had to brace themselves for a three-year hiatus that will end in 2025.
The good news is that the universe will continue to expand after the series finale, as a sequel to the dystopian story, The Testaments, is already in the early stages of production by the same team. More good news is that the stars of the series are already promising a finale that won't disappoint.

Bell Media CEO Sean Cohan, the veteran American TV exec newly-hired to lead Canada’s top-rated broadcaster and local streamer Crave, says he’s open to working with American streaming giants to produce TV shows.
Asked whether Bell Media would consider taking the Canadian rights to an indie series that Netflix or other major American streamers may launch stateside and in other international territories, Cohan told The Hollywood Reporter he’d be open to such cost-saving partnerships.
“Whether we would collaborate with the streamers to take Canadian rights to their rest-of-world, it’s a scenario I’m not aware whether Bell has undertaken before now, but it’s something we absolutely have to consider. I don’t know why we wouldn’t consider such a scenario if the story was right,” Cohan said.

Mary Lynn Rajskub and Jay Ryan have boarded the Netflix, CBC and Aptn comedy North of North, which has started production in Nunavut in northern Canada.
Rajskub played Chloe O’Brian on the long-running 24 drama and also starred in the comedy Night School with Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish and Mayfield Games with Mira Sorvino. Ryan is a veteran of New Zealand soaps and series like Mary Kills People and Beauty and the Beast.
Other new cast members for North of North include Maika Harper, Braeden Clarke, Kelly William, Zorga Qaunaq, Doreen Simmonds and Tanya Tagaq.

We’re learning more about the upcoming sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale.
The final chapter of the Emmy-winning Hulu series originally was to begin production in 2023 for a fall 2024 premiere, but that schedule, of course, was delayed by the strikes.

For a country which likes to boast about its support of free speech, the US has a long history of banning books. What’s more, its politicians have long understood that it isn’t necessary to ban them outright, with all the political difficulty that can involve, in order to keep most people from accessing them. Most people are not going to go to the trouble of ordering books they know little about. Keep them out of schools and libraries and most people won’t know where to start.
Even in the context of this history, the recent rash of book banning across the Southern States has been quite shocking. It includes celebrated works of literature by the likes of Toni Morrisson, James Baldwin and Margaret Atwood, as well as children’s books encouraging confidence, like Ambitious Girl, or acceptance, like And Tango Makes Three.

We generally prefer to focus on positive things at the start of a new year, but the fact is that every good show must come to an end, and we're about to say goodbye to some truly beloved series in 2024. We've already lost so many shows recently, including NCIS: Los Angeles and Magnum P.I.
But here we are to discuss it some more! Some of the shows on this list are going out on their own terms after long, successful runs. Others are being unceremoniously kicked to the curb due to low ratings, massive budgets, or departing stars.
One thing they all have in common? Their loss will really sting.
But one they all have in common is that they're shuffling off the airwaves sometime within the next 12 months, so join us as we bid farewell to the following series from across the TV landscape.

All of the best horror films are traditionally more than just "a horror film." George A. Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" is a zombie movie, yes, but it's also a satire of consumerism and an exploration of how close the crumbling of societal norms is at any given moment. John Carpenter's "The Thing" is a masterpiece of practical effects, but it is also a sci-fi body horror film examining themes of paranoia, identity, isolation, fear of the unknown, and masculine hierarchies in survival situations. Despite what naysayers may cry out these days, horror has always been political, but one franchise has consistently been a lot more "in your face" about it.
I'm talking of course, about "The Purge" movies. Created by James DeMonaco and introduced by Blumhouse in 2013 with "The Purge," the films take place in an almost "Twilight Zone" alternate reality of America, where the country enjoys...

Now that The Buccaneers is over, we must fill the empty void left in our hearts by this sad and romantic show. The show that follows the lives of five American girls who move to England to find husbands had all of us rooting for the girls.

U.S. streaming giants were already in an uncomfortable position after Canada reined them in with first-time spending obligations to support the production of homegrown movies and TV series.
But as 2023 ends, the country’s TV and telecom regulator is at odds with American streamers over how much cash they are now obligated to fork over to subsidize local film, TV and music producers. During early December regulatory hearings in Gatineau, Quebec, top Canadian execs for Netflix, Apple Canada, Spotify and others bargained over setting a mandatory “initial base” contribution from U.S. digital giants to support local indie producers.
Those talks got hung up over still more hearings and negotiations set for next year to agree on a new definition on what does and doesn’t count as Canadian film or TV programming, or “Canadian content,” to modernize the country’s broadcast laws for the digital age. That new...

As an SNL alum and co-founder of the Upright Citizens Brigade, Amy Poehler knows a thing or two about improv. Now she’s sharing the lessons she’s learned throughout her career in a new MasterClass special.
“The principles of improv have made me more creative, more resilient and more collaborative,” Poehler tells The Hollywood Reporter. “My class is an attempt to show how preparing to be unprepared can add value in how we approach life and relate to other people.”
In the class — dubbed “Prepare to Be Unprepared” — Poehler shares nine principles of improve including “don’t bail on your partners” and “don’t worry about being cool.” It’s split up into 11 parts, and totals just over an hour of content. She also talks about her rise through Hollywood and how improv skills can help with real-world situations — for example, the trailer teases an audience member needs help breaking up with her boyfriend.

Readying to share an excerpt from her first book, an author stands at the podium and warns the room she’s going to start with the ending. “I was told you’re not meant to do that at these readings,” she says, “but I’m going to do it anyway.” Ultimately, Darby Hart (Emma Corrin) omits a few key details of her favored passage — she’s there to sell books, after all, and has to hook an audience who initially showed up to hear from another writer — but the choice speaks volumes about who she is and what her true crime story is designed to do. It’s not about whoever’s waiting at the end of the investigation; it’s not about studying a killer, learning from his twisted psyche, or even catching him. Instead, Darby’s account invites readers to reconsider what’s right in front of them,...

We’ve all heard it before: the book was better. For the most part, it’s true. The best literary adaptations mine something newly cinematic from their source material; at worst, they’re so doggedly faithful to the text that the end result feels nervously redundant or like an overly gutsy cash grab.
We’ve seen it on screens big and small. Take Joe Wright’s notorious 2020 Netflix thriller “The Woman in the Window”: a film that loop-de-looped through so many ups and downs — from uneasy test screenings and rewrites and re-shoots to a big-money handoff from now-defunct Fox 2000 to the streamer — it never stood a chance of coming out the other end as anything less than mangled.

The leading trade group for authors has entered a legal battle against OpenAI over its human-mimicking chatbot in a case that could decide the legality of using copyrighted works to train AI systems.
The Authors Guild — led by prominent fiction authors including George R.R. Martin, Jonathan Franzen and John Grisham — on Tuesday sued OpenAI, accusing the company of engaging “in a systematic course of mass-scale copyright infringement” to “power their lucrative commercial endeavor.” The proposed class action filed in New York federal court builds upon arguments from creators who have already initiated lawsuits against AI firms that generative AI illegally produces infringing works that directly compete with their creations.
The legal action is at least the third against OpenAI over the company using copyrighted books to train its system. OpenAI is facing a proposed class action from author Paul Tremblay, in addition to another filed by Sarah Silverman, which also names Meta.

Upwards of 175 actors, musicians, authors, comedians, reality stars, models, media personalities, academics, activists and more have signed the open letter spearheaded by Reading Rainbow host LeVar Burton and published Tuesday via public advocacy organization and political action committee MoveOn Political Action.

The letter encourages signatories and readers to address challenges at the local level across U.S. school districts, while calling out book bans as “restrictive behavior” that is “antithetical to free speech and expression.” It also underscores the “chilling effect” these bans can have “on the broader creative field.”
“We cannot stress enough how these censorious efforts will not end with book bans,...

In an appearance alongside her leads at Deadline’s Sundance studio earlier this year, pic’s DGA Award-winning director Susanna Fogel noted that the idea of toggling back and forth between the POVs of her protagonists was compelling, in that it allowed her to explore “miscommunications and the cultural baggage that men and women bring into dating,...
