Florida Man, published by Penguin Random House in July, is a darkly comedic generation-spanning story about how a man decides to live his life, and how despite staying landlocked and stubbornly in one place, the world nevertheless comes to him.

The Walking Dead may have—due to circumstances beyond its control—left its viewers in the lurch back in April with its yet-to-air Season 10 finale, but it seems that there’s news to be had about Season 11—casting news, specifically.

Margot Bingham has joined the cast of The Walking Dead for Season 11, reports Deadline. While the trade can’t confirm what role Bingham will play, it’s certainly worth noting that she has already been involved with the series, having voiced the role of Eugene’s (Josh McDermitt) mysterious radio chat-mate/would-be-romance, Stephanie; a fact that might lead one to presume she’s set to play the role in person, now having been properly cast.

The actress will make her Walking Dead onscreen debut in Season 11 after recent television runs on NBC medical drama New Amsterdam, Netflix Spike Lee adaptation comedy She’s Gotta Have It and CBS All Access drama One Dollar.

The first mystery of The Walking Dead Season 11 has already begun to unfold. Margot Bingham, who’s recurred on NBC’s New Amsterdam as Evie, has been tapped by the AMC drama to play… well, no one’s saying yet, according to our sister site, Deadline.

But, since the actress was heard (but never seen) during Season 10 as Stephanie, the reticent stranger on whom Eugene developed a crush after they connected over the radio, it’s probably the safest of safe bet that she’ll be playing… yeah, Stephanie. In fact, when The Walking Dead had to end its season...

Exclusive: She’s Gotta Have It Netflix series actress Margot Bingham has joined season 11 of AMC’s The Walking Dead.

While the network nor sources won’t comment on who Bingham will play, odds are that we’ll finally see Bingham as Stephanie, a character she’s done the voiceover for in the season 10 episodes “Bonds” and “Morning Star”. Stephanie is an enigmatic survivor of the zombie outbreak in Charleston, West Virginia, who connects via radio with Josh McDermitt’s Eugene Porter.

When Deadline’s Dominic Patten spoke with Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang for the last episode that aired on April 5, she indicated that the series will go from being set in its usual rural backdrop to more urban environments. The series was unable to air the season 10 finale due to complications of Covid-19, but managed to finish post-production with an air date during Q4.

Bingham plays the series...

From Emmy Award®-winning writer Lena Waithe (Netflix’s “Master of None”) and Grammy Award®-winning director Melina Matsoukas (Beyonce’s “Formation” and Nike’s “Equality”), comes the unflinching new drama, Queen & Slim, arriving on Digital February 18, 2020 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-rayTM, DVD and On Demand March 3, 2020 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith bring Queen & Slim to life as the titular characters.

CBS All Access has canceled its fact-based dark drama series, Strange Angel, after two seasons.

Strange Angel just had its proverbial wings clipped by its platform home, CBS All Access, which has canceled the historically-based, lasciviously occult, television series, leaving no room for a third season.

CBS All Access’s cancelation of Strange Angel after two seasons on the premium streaming service, as reported by THR, marks only the second time in the platform’s five-year history that an original series has been met with cancelation, with the lone precedent stemming back to its December 2018 cancelation of drama One Dollar. However, it won’t be an isolated incident, with the merger of CBS and Viacom expected to unleash a deluge of new original content for CBS All Access, which will lead to a statistically-inevitable share of casualties.

As Julie McNamara, Evp, Originals at CBS All Access, expresses...

“Strange Angel” has been canceled at CBS All Access.

The drama, about rocketry pioneer and occultist Jack Parsons, ended its second season in July.

“Strange Angel” starred Jack Raynor as Parsons, one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Aerojet, who became a follower of cult leader Aleister Crowley. It also starred Rupert Friend, Bella Heathcote, Peter Mark Kendall, Michael Gaston, Greg Wise, Rade Šerbedžija, Zack Pearlman and Keye Chen.

“The series brought new meaning to the idea that the truth is stranger than fiction and we are incredibly thankful to the creative team of Mark Heyman, David Digilio, Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker for their vision, as well as the fantastic cast for bringing the bizarre story of Jack Parsons to life,” said Julie McNamara, executive vice president of original content at CBS All Access in a statement.

Created by Mark Heyman and based on...

CBS All Access has canceled its period original series Strange Angel after two seasons, Deadline has confirmed.

“Strange Angel will not be returning for a third season,” said Julie McNamara, Evp of Original Content for CBS All Access, in a statement provided to Deadline. “The series brought new meaning to the idea that the truth is stranger than fiction and we are incredibly thankful to the creative team of Mark Heyman, David Digilio, Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker for their vision, as well as the fantastic cast for bringing the bizarre story of Jack Parsons to life.”

Strange Angel is the second CBS All Access series to be canceled, joining mystery series One Dollar, which was nixed after one season.

The Strange Angel cast included Jack Reynor, Rupert Friend, Bella Heathcote, Peter Mark Kendall, Michael Gaston, Greg Wise, Rade Šerbedžija, Zack Pearlman and Keye Chen.

The series was produced...

Exclusive: Aisling Franciosi (The Nightingale), John Procaccino (A Most Violent Year), Rob Huebel (Childrens Hospital), Philip Ettinger (First Reformed) and Michael Greyeyes (True Detective) have been cast in HBO’s I Know This Much Is True, a six-episode limited drama series based on Wally Lamb’s bestselling book, from Mark Ruffalo, who stars in a dual role and executive produces, Derek Cianfrance (The Place Beyond the Pines) and FilmNation Entertainment.

Written, directed and executive produced by Cianfrance, I Know This Much Is True is a family saga that follows the parallel lives of identical twin brothers Dominick and Thomas Birdsey, played by Ruffalo, in an epic story of betrayal, sacrifice, and forgiveness, set against the backdrop of 20th century America.

Franciosi will play young Dessa Constantine. Procaccino will portray Ray Birdsey, Dominick and Thomas’ stepfather. Huebel is Leo, Dominick’s best friend.Ettinger will play the young adult Dominick and Thomas Birdsey.

It’s no secret that Netflix isn’t keeping around shows as long as they used to. “Fourth and final season” is becoming the weird norm, leading to shorter overall series lengths. So, if the laws of energy work the same for streaming shows — that hours of content can be neither created nor destroyed — where do things go next?

Netflix is still a programming beast, but in addition to series, films, and standup specials, there’s still room for its music-related projects to grow. “Springsteen on Broadway” premiered in the waning weeks of 2018 and Beyonce’s “Homecoming” arrived like a lightning bolt in April. Those marquee partnerships are unmistakable, but last month brought a less categorizable musical offering that deserves some attention, too.

Sturgill Simpson’s “Sound and Fury” is a visual album that’s a departure of sorts, even for an artist whose style has always leaned eclectic. Adding...

Exclusive: Timothy Busfield is set as a series regular opposite Nicholas Pinnock in ABC’s midseason legal drama series For Life, from Hank Steinberg, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Sony Pictures TV and ABC Studios.

Written by Steinberg, For Life is a fictional serialized legal and family drama, inspired by the life of Isaac Wright Jr, about a prisoner who becomes a lawyer, litigating cases for other inmates while fighting to overturn his own life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. His quest for freedom is driven by his desperate desire to get back to the family he loves and reclaim the life that was stolen from him. The show will also, through the window of his ferocious struggle and his complicated relationship with a progressive female prison warden, examine the flaws and challenges in our penal and legal systems.

1. “The Politician” (available September 27)

Why Should I Watch? It’s Ryan Murphy’s first original series for Netflix. That’s the narrative TV enthusiasts and industry titans will be watching, more so than any high school election shenanigans, when “The Politician” debuts this month. After signing a whopping $300 million overall deal in February 2018, Murphy is rolling out his first big-ticket Netflix series, and his deal (along with more than few others) is meant to help maintain subscribers as the O.G. streaming giant faces new competition from the likes of Disney+ and Apple TV+. The size of its audience is even more important than whether or not it’s any good, but awards prospects are top of mind for this star-studded venture. During his time at FX, Murphy served as an enticing dual threat: prestige and popularity. Now, he’s got to carry that over to Netflix.

Bonus Reason: Well, the cast is pretty stacked.

From Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe and director Melina Matsoukas, comes the Makeready-backed buzzy new film, “Queen & Slim,” which stars Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith, in her first starring feature-film role.

Joining a legacy of films such as “Bonnie and Clyde” and “Thelma & Louise,” Waithe’s “Queen & Slim” is a dramatic thriller with romantic undertones that follows a black couple (Kaluuya and Turner-Smith) on a first date who are pulled over by a police officer, who they are then forced to kill in self-defense, and must go on the run.

The official synopsis reads: “While on a forgettable first date together in Ohio, a black man and a black woman are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. The situation escalates, with sudden and tragic results, when the man kills the police officer in self-defense. Terrified and in fear for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman,...

There’s a fascinating mix of creatives involved with the new mysterious social thriller, “The Hunt.” The project comes from Jason Blum, the producer of “Get Out” and “The Purge” series, and Damon Lindelof, co-creator of the TV series “The Leftovers” and “Lost,” and director Craig Zobel known for “Compliance” and the 2015 Sundance hit “Z for Zachariah.” Zobel hasn’t directed a film since until now, but he’s also been busy in the world of television directing an episode of “Westworld” and the CBS All Access mystery thriller “One Dollar.”

Sturgill Simpson is set to appear on a panel at the 2019 Comic-Con in San Diego. The Grammy-winning songwriter will discuss his involvement in the new Japanese anime film Sound & Fury, a project that mixes American rock music with the colorful Japanese animation style.

Slated for Saturday, July 20th, the panel unites Simpson with Afro Samurai creator Takashi Okazaki and Batman Ninja director Junpei Mizusaki, the filmmakers behind Sound & Fury. The first trailer for the movie will be screened during the panel.

The collaboration is just the latest foray into film and television for Simpson.

When Lena Waithe presented the first footage of “Queen and Slim” at Cinemacon earlier this year, she called the Universal Pictures’ film “protest art.”

“It’s meant to get people talking,” Waithe said. “The film is not made to give the audience answers, but instead to ask questions and show what it looks like to be black and in love while the world is burning all around you.”

Now, audiences worldwide can see for themselves what she’s talking about in the first trailer for fall feature. Universal released the first look during the 2019 Bet Awards, which aired Sunday night.

Starring Daniel Kaluuya (“Get Out”) and Jodie Turner-Smith (“Nightflyers”), “Queen & Slim” was initially billed as a dramatic thriller with romantic undertones that follows a black couple on a first date who are pulled over by a police officer, who they then kill in self-defense. The film also stars Bokeem Woodbine...

Sturgill Simpson made his first appearance at the Grand Ole Opry in four years on Tuesday night, nodding to his Kentucky roots by playing a bluegrass set with an all-star band of pickers that included Sierra Hull on mandolin and Stuart Duncan on fiddle.

With his longtime drummer Miles Miller on a single snare, Simpson launched into “Long White Line” off 2014’s Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, offering a back-porch rendition that suggested this performance would differ greatly from the electric guitar-skronk of his last tour. The traditionals “Pretty Polly” and “Long Journey Home” followed,...

The ongoing mission of Starfleet just got re-upped for another tour of duty: CBS All Access has renewed Star Trek: Discovery for Season Three. The streaming service has also announced that Michelle Paradise will join Alex Kurtzman as co-showrunner for the third season of the sci-fi series that has found its rhythm after its bumpy inaugural season.

Paradise joined the Star Trek: Discovery team as a co-executive producer in Season Two, which is also the season when Kurtzman took full command of the show after a creative team reshuffling. Kurtzman praised Paradise as a vital source of quality control and innovation for the Discovery team. “Her grasp of character and story detail, her drive and her focus have already become essential in ensuring the ‘Trek’ legacy, and her fresh perspective always keeps us looking forward.”

The renewal adds to the revival momentum of the Star Trek brand as a television franchise.

2018 is almost in the books… and it’s taking a whole lot of TV shows with it.

Between network, cable and streaming, more than a hundred shows aired their final episode this year, either due to cancellation or a pre-determined “final season.” The small-screen casualties ranged from long-running hits (Scandal, Once Upon a Time) to critically adored gems (The Americans, The Last Man on Earth) to… shows we barely knew existed, frankly (what’s One Dollar again?). But as dedicated TV fans, each cancellation hurts us at least a little — and this is how we process our pain.

"While One Dollar won’t be coming back for another season, we're incredibly proud of its artistically presented 10-episode story, which will continue to be available for streaming on the service and for future audiences to discover," Julie McNamara, executive vp originals at CBS All Access, said Wednesday in a statement. "We thank the tremendous creative team, Craig Zobel, Matt DeRoss, Alexandre Dauman, Graham Gordy and Jason Mosberg, and the wonderful cast ...

CBS All Access has given out a straight-to-series order to the true-crime series “Interrogation,” Variety has learned.

The series is based on a true story that spanned more than 30 years, in which a young man was charged and convicted of brutally murdering his mother. Each episode is structured around an interrogation taken directly from the real police case files. The first nine episodes of the series will be available to watch in any order, while the season finale will be released at a later date.

The series was co-created by Anders Weidemann and John Mankiewicz. Both will serve as executive producers alongside Fabrik Entertainment’s Henrik Bastin and Melissa Aouate. CBS Television Studios will produce along with Fabrik.

Weidemann is a Swedish writer and producer whose past credits include “30° i februari” and “Sanningen om Marika,” the latter of which he created for television. This marks his first American production. He...

“One Dollar” is not a show that has an easy, recent analogue to anything in the film and TV world. For the director behind the CBS All Access drama, that was both an exciting prospect and a bit of an indictment of the kinds of stories that have made it to screens in recent decades.

“When we started referencing other movies that are telling a story like this, they’re all like ‘Norma Rae,’ ‘Blue Collar.’ They’re all ’70s stories. People haven’t been making very many stories in that culture in a while actually,” director Craig Zobel told IndieWire.

What came from the process was a 10-episode season set in the western Pennsylvania town of Braden. Set against the backdrop of a mysterious death at a steel mill, the resulting story winds its way through a factory town kaleidoscope of individuals, all via the path of a single dollar bill.

CBS’ influence on Australian broadcaster Network Ten is starting to show after it revealed it would launch three CBS All Access original series on a rebranded digital platform.

The network, which CBS acquired last year, is to launch One Dollar, Strange Angel and Tell Me A Story? on its 10 All Access service, which will go live in December.

10 All Access will offer more than 7,000 commercial-free episodes of shows including the first season of The Good Fight as well as classic shows such as The Good Wife, NCIS, Frasier, Cheers and Survivor and local hits.

Network Ten’s chief content officer Beverley McGarvey said, “How brilliant is it to be launching 10 All Access with three incredible CBS All Access original series in One Dollar, Strange Angel and Tell Me A Story? They are three exciting series that have recently launched in the U.S. Outside of the originals, 10 All Access will...

‘Strange Angel.’

Network Ten has rebranded its flagship and digital channels One and Eleven and will launch direct-to-consumer streaming and VOD service 10 All Access in December.

The new platform, which will sit alongside streaming and catch-up player 10 Play, will offer more than 7,000 commercial-free episodes including three CBS All Access original series – Tell Me A Story, One Dollar and Strange Angel.

The CBS-owned broadcaster said it would soon reveal the launch date, pricing and full content library. In the Us CBS All Access charges subscribers $US5.99 a month and $US9.99 a month for the advertiser-free service.

Network Ten is now Network 10 with a new logo, colour scheme and tone of voice. One has been rebranded as 10 Boss, targeting women and men over 40, while Eleven has become 10 Peach, aimed at 16-to-39-year-olds looking for escapist entertainment.

Ten’s chief executive Paul Anderson said: “We have changed things up and not only...

CBS All Access' track record remains perfect.

The streaming service has handed out a second-season renewal for scripted drama Strange Angel.

The series joins a Cbsaa roster that also includes Star Trek: Discovery, The Good Fight and No Activity, all of which have scored sophomore orders.

CBS All Access has given a straight-to-series order to Why Women Kill, a darkly comedic drama from Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry, Imagine Television Studios and CBS TV Studios.

Created by Cherry, Why Women Kill details the lives of three women living in three different decades: a housewife in the ‘60s, a socialite in the ‘80s and a lawyer in 2018, each dealing with infidelity in their marriages. The series will examine how the roles of women have changed, but how their reaction to betrayal… has not.

“As much as we like to think that the institution of marriage has evolved over the past few decades, infidelity still has the ability to rock us to our core. Why Women Kill will explore what happens when women’s primal instincts are unleashed with unexpected and twisted consequences,” said Cherry. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with two exceptional companies...
