“Hijack” director Mo Ali has signed with CAA for representation.

Ali recently directed a number of episodes of the Apple TV+ series “Hijack,” which stars Idris Elba as a top negotiator who needs to step up and use his professional skills to save his fellow passengers when their flight to London is hijacked. The seven-part thriller will premiere on the streaming service later this year.

Ali previously helmed episodes of the British series “Cobra” for Sky, which stars Robert Carlyle and Victoria Hamilton and will soon begin its third season on the pay-tv operator. Ali is returning as director.

Ali made his directorial debut with the post-apocalyptic thriller “Shank,” set in a futuristic London. The film was released in more than 15 territories around the world. His second feature, “Montana” — an examination of life in London’s criminal underbelly — was also released in the U.K. The film played at the...

Warning: contains spoilers for ‘The Enchanted Sleeper’ & ‘The Break’

Season three of His Dark Materials is the twist of the kaleidoscope that drops the glittering elements of this mad tale into their final shape. Here’s when it stops setting up and solving mysteries and solidifies into a story about the fight between independence of mind and religious tyranny. You know, all that silly fantasy stuff.

There was zero room for silliness in this opening double-bill, which was a solemn two-hours filled with weighty pronouncements and grave discussions. Dafne Keen’s Lyra being unconscious for most of it, plus not much Mary, and no Lee Scoresby (for obvious reasons) made it a very serious affair lacking warmth or humour. Well, what’s warm or humorous about killing God?

That’s Lord Asriel’s plan. After proving the existence of Dust and the multiverse – both of which are hypocritically denied by...

What’s the old saying, ‘man plans and the Authority laughs’? Between the first announcement of BBC/HBO fantasy adaptation His Dark Materials in November 2015 and the arrival of its final season in December 2022, a great many plans were forced to change. 2020’s multiple Covid-19 lockdowns left the third season’s filming schedule up in the air, and when it came back down again not everything – or everyone – was in the same place.

Sophie Okonedo, Chipo Chung and Xaphania

In season two (filming of which mostly squeaked inside the line before the first UK lockdown in March 2020), fans were introduced to new character Xaphania, voiced by Sophie Okonedo. The leader of the rebel angels who joined forces with Lord Asriel to destroy the controlling, misogynistic Authority, Xaphania is a key character in season three’s war.

Okonedo’s unmistakable voice was heard in four episodes, speaking to Mary Malone via her Oxford lab computer,...

Bloods star Jane Horrocks is joining the cast of another Sky original in the UK.

She has been cast in the third season of explosive political drama series Cobra, playing populist Defence Secretary Victoria Dalton in the UK government, opposite Robert Carlyle’s returning Prime Minister Robert Sutherland and his Chief of Staff, Anna Marshall (Victoria Hamilton).

Horrocks, also known for BBC comedy Absolutely Fabulous, has most recently been appearing opposite Samson Kayo in Sky paramedics comedy Bloods.

The latest six-part season of Cobra is titled Rebellion and will follow the aftermath of an unforeseen environmental disaster that reveals itself as a crisis of corruption in the arms industry and the rise of shadowy corporate security firms, challenging Sutherland to decide what he is willing to sacrifice to stay in power.

Production has begun ahead of a 2023 debut on Sky Max and streamer Now in the UK.

Documentary

In a recent study conducted by Sky marking the one-year anniversary Sky Documentaries, two in five Brits admit to watching more documentaries over the last 12 months than ever before. With those numbers in mind, the broadcaster has unveiled five new original commissions and released a first trailer for its highly anticipated upcoming docuseries “Murder at the Cottage: The Search for Justice for Sophie,” announcing that the series will premiere on Sky Crime and streaming service Now on Sunday, June 20.

“Murder at the Cottage” is produced, directed and features six-time Oscar nominated director Jim Sheridan, who spent more than a decade documenting the 25-year-old case of French film and TV producer Sophie Toscan Du Plantier, wife of filmmaker Daniel Toscan du Plantier, who was murdered at her holiday home in Schull, West Cork.

New documentaries announced by Sky include:

“Mother Teresa: For the Love of God?”, a look at the...

Exclusive: WME has signed Industry actress Marisa Abela and will represent the actress in all areas.

Abela stars as Yasmin in the HBO Max banking drama from Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, executive produced by Lena Dunham. The actress appears alongside Myha’la Herrold, Harry Lawtey, David Jonsson, Nabhaan Rizwam, Freya Mavor, Will Tudor, Conor Macneil and Ken Leung. The series, which follows a group of young graduates competing for a limited number of permanent positions at a leading international bank in London, was recently renewed for a second season.

A graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, Abela also starred in Cobra alongside Robert Carlyle, Richard Dormer and Victoria Hamilton.

Abela continues to be represented by Saskia Mulder of The Artists Partnership.

With her latest film, The Secret Garden, arriving in August, here’s a look at Walters’ greatest big-screen roles – from Educating Rita to Paddington

Lewis Gilbert directed Walters in her seminal movie debut, Educating Rita, and although this stagey and subdued film (Gilbert’s last) doesn’t have anything like the fizz of that, Walters gives it her considerable best. She is the eldest of three sisters uneasily reunited for their mother’s funeral (the other two are Joanne Whalley and Victoria Hamilton). Walters is Teresa, a housewife devoted to her mother’s memory and very domineering when it comes to her husband, played by Tom Wilkinson. A strong character performance.

Sky has handed renewals to a slew of scripted series including David Schwimmer’s Intelligence, Robert Carlyle political drama Cobra and Joseph Gilgun’s comedy drama Brassic.

Intelligence, which launches on Sky One, has been handed a second season ahead of its first season air on February 21. Friends star Schwimmer plays a power-hungry, maverick Nsa agent who joins an inept and tactless computer analyst, played by Nick Mohammed, within the UK’s Gchq. Created and written by Mohammed, Intelligence is produced by Tim Hincks and Peter Fincham’s Expectation. The second, six-part season was renewed by Jon Mountague, Sky Studios’ Director of Comedy and Zai Bennett, Sky’s Managing Director of Content.

Schwimmer said, “I am thrilled to continue to pretend to be important to National Security.” Mohammed added, “I couldn’t be more delighted about setting off alarm bells inside Gchq all over again.”

Pay-tv operator Sky will offer 80 original series to its British subscribers this year, an increase of 25% year-on-year from last year, together with a 40% boost in the volume of programming from the U.S., it announced Wednesday. It also unveiled 10 new shows it has ordered.

Sky revealed its plans at a showcase event at London’s Tate Modern art gallery, where it shared exclusive previews of new shows due to air this year, with more than 25 talent on stage including David Schwimmer, Steve Coogan, Maisie Williams, Billie Piper, Nick Mohammed, Dynamo and Rob Brydon.

As well as its original and acquired shows, Sky is delivering aggregated content from its partnerships with Netflix, BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5. It is also launching new channels like Sky Comedy, Sky Nature and Sky Documentaries.

Sky Group CEO, Jeremy Darroch, said: “In an increasingly competitive market, we keep pushing to give our customers what they want,...

Sky is looking to become Europe’s “most important producer of original content” as it doubles its investment over the next five years and hopes that NBCUniversal’s move to take over its international content sales will help it reach “another level”.

Sky and NBCU held a cocktail event at London’s BAFTA last night to toast the merger of Sky Vision into NBCUniversal International Television Distribution and introduce British producers to Belinda Menendez and her team.

Sky Studios CEO Gary Davey said that Jane Millichip, who founded Sky Vision and becomes Chief Commercial Officer at Sky Studios, and her team hit their long-term revenue target two years ahead of schedule.

“The Sky Vision journey has been very important to everyone here at Sky. The Sky Vision team were able to develop and prove a monetization model that allowed us to initiate our investment model in original content,” he said.

Peter Nichols, the British playwright whose play A Day in the Death of Joe Egg provided Albert Finney with his 1968 Broadway debut and did the same in 2003 for Eddie Izzard, died Sept. 7 in Oxford, England. He was 92.

His death was announced on Twitter by agent Alan Brodie Representation. A cause of death was not given.

In addition to Joe Egg, his most familiar play, Nichols’ credits include the 1972 film version starring Alan Bates and 1966’s Swinging London touchstone Georgy Girl starring Lynne Redgrave, Bates, Charlotte Rampling and James Mason.

Based on his own difficult experience as the father of a daughter born with severe disabilities, Nichols’ A Day In The Death Of Joe Egg – Joe was short for Josephine – used broad, music-hall style comedy to tell the story of a married couple struggling to care for their daughter with cerebral palsy. With the jarring use of dark comedy to avoid sentimentality,...

NBCUniversal’s international distribution division is to subsume Sky’s global sales arm on October 1 following Comcast’s purchase of the pay-tv broadcaster.

The companies revealed that Sky Vision Content Sales is to transition to NBCUniversal Distribution two weeks before Mipcom. A number of redundancies have already occurred as part of the move, which was revealed days before Mip TV in April.

It is the latest example of synergy between the two companies after the acquisition.

Sky Vision, which was launched in 2012, sells shows including A Discovery of Witches, Patrick Melrose, Riviera and Britannia as well as forthcoming titles such as Helen Mirren’s Catherine The Great, political drama Cobra, which stars Trainspotting star Robert Carlyle and The Crown’s Victoria Hamilton, as well as international shows such as Australian series Frayed.

The company was set up by Jane Millichip, who is becoming Chief Commercial Officer of Sky Studios, the...

Gavin & Stacey and Abigail’s Party star Alison Steadman is to front BBC drama Life from Doctor Foster creator Mike Bartlett.

Steadman is joined by Peter Davison, who starred as the Doctor in the fifth iteration of Doctor Who, Adrian Lester (Riviera), Victoria Hamilton (Doctor Foster) and Rachael Stirling (The Bletchley Circle) in the six-part series.

The Drama Republic-fronted series, which has just begun filming in Manchester, follows the stories of the residents in a large house in Manchester divided into flats. As each of the four separate, relatable yet surprising strands unfold, they tell a larger story about what happens when we decide to step out of our own personal space and take a closer look into other people’s lives.

Gail, played by Steadman, who is married to Henry, played by Davison, is about to celebrate her 70th birthday when a chance encounter throws her whole life into question.

Exclusive: Trainspotting and Once Upon A Time star Robert Carlyle and The Crown’s Victoria Hamilton are to star in a British political drama for Sky. Catherine The Great producer New Pictures is making six-part series Cobra about what happens in the corridors of power during a time of national emergency. Pretty good timing given what’s going on with Brexit.

Carlyle stars as British Prime Minister Robert Sutherland, while Hamilton plays his Chief of Staff Anna Marshall. Game of Thrones’ Richard Dormer plays as Fraser Walker, the Head of the Civil Contingencies Secretariat, Killing Eve’s David Haig stars as Home Secretary Archie Glover-Morgan, Better Things’ Marsha Thomason stars as Francine Bridge MP and Broadchurch’s Lucy Cohu plays the Prime Minister’s wife Rachel Sutherland.

The series, which has begun production ahead of a fall launch, deals with an unfolding national emergency that threatens to engulf the country as the Cobra committee,...

Deep State is back and this time it’s even more political. The drama, which was Fox Networks Group Europe & Africa’s first original drama, returns this spring with Justified and Vice Principals star Walton Goggins and you can see the first clip from the show above.

The series, which is produced by Endor Productions, will air on Epix in the U.S. on April 28 and will air on Fox in the UK and across 50 countries in Europe and Africa in early May.

The second season of the show, which was commissioned by Fng and acquired by Epix, will delve deeper into the murky and political world of the deep state.

Having failed in the Middle East, those powers are now turning their attention to sub-Saharan Africa and the scramble to plunder its natural resources. This is the first dirty war over clean energy. The series will also explore the...

Joseph Baxter Feb 25, 2019

Deep State, the Epix action/spy series, returns for Season 2, this time with Walton Goggins as its star.

Deep State made its U.S. debut back in June 2018 on cable channel Epix, showcasing a slick small screen spy thriller headlined by the ever-capable (Shazam! villain) Mark Strong, who played Max Eaton, an ex-spy who becomes thrust into a covert intelligence war. The series, an internationally distributed product of Fox Networks Group, received a quick Season 2 renewal, but the status of its domestic deal was left uncertain for months until Epix's renewal announcement arrived that August.

Not only would fears over the show's status prove unwarranted, but the renewal would come with the reveal of a brand-new star in Walton Goggins. Moreover, it appears that Season 2 will see the show live up to its titular term, “deep state,” which has become a potent concept in the increasingly partisan political arena,...

Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh have four children, eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren, so keeping up with all those royal birthdays can't be easy. Of course they have private secretaries for that kind of thing, but for the queen, remembering the birthday of the new Duchess of Sussex should be quite easy anyway.

Meghan Markle was born on Aug. 4, 1981, which means she shares a birthday with a very famous and well-loved member of the royal family: Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

The Crown has found its Prince Charles and Queen Mother. Josh O’Connor (God’s Own Country) and Marion Bailey (Allied) have joined the cast of the Left Bank Pictures-produced drama for season three.

O’Connor, who also starred in Florence Foster Jenkins, replaces Julian Baring, while Bailey replaces Victoria Hamilton.

It comes as production on season three is in full swing ahead of a 2019 launch.

O’Connor, said, “I am thrilled to be joining The Firm for the next instalment of The Crown.

When it comes to the SAG Awards, size often matters. The most massive casts often run off with the ensemble prizes, which explains how “Lost” found victory at the 2005 ceremony, and how “Downton Abbey” (2012) was able to take down two-time champ “Boardwalk Empire” (2010-2011). This year, however, Gold Derby’s SAG TV predictions favor Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” to prevail despite having the second-smallest cast. Are we crazy for going against bigger ensembles?

“The Handmaid’s Tale” boasts 10 cast members on the voting ballot, ahead of only Netflix’s “The Crown” at five. Comparatively, the other nominated dramas each feature more than a dozen actors: HBO’s “Game of Thrones” at 30, Netflix’s “Stranger Things” at 17 and NBC’s “This Is Us” at 13. In recent years “Game of Thrones” and “Downton Abbey” always had the biggest casts, with “Downton” beating the HBO fantasy series in 2014 and 2015.

Netflix’s sleek period drama The Crown has captivated audiences with its peek into the private life of Queen Elizabeth II (Claire Foy), but many fans may be wondering how much of the glamorous series is based on real life. While some elements — like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor’s frosty relationship with the royal family and Princess Margaret’s romance with the dashing Pete Townsend — are true, several key elements of the series are either totally made up or exaggerated for dramatic effect. (And let’s be honest, even the life of a royal sometimes needs TV magic to make it more watchable.

"And, if I may: never let them see the real Elizabeth Windsor," Winston Churchill warns his young queen in Netflix's new drama The Crown. "Never let them see that carrying the crown is often a burden. Let them look at you, but let them see only the eternal." For those who didn't grow up under the British monarchy (and even for some who did), Queen Elizabeth can be a hard person in whom to find sympathy. She is the cold, distant symbol of an obsolete but fabulously wealthy system and has held a hard line on its antiquated rules, which at various points in her lifetime stood in the way of her uncle, her sister, and her son from marrying the people they loved because the various institutions of church and state did not approve.
