Brian Jordan Alvarez is one of the most interesting voices in comedy. The general public likely recognizes him as Estéfan in "Will & Grace," Wesley in "Jane the Virgin," or Cole in "M3GAN," but real ones know that he's the brilliant mind behind the Gotham Award-nominated five-part web comedy series "The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo" ... and, if you've spent any time on TikTok, his hit viral universe of filterface characters like Tj Mack. Now, Alvarez serves as the creator, executive producer, and star of the FX workplace comedy "English Teacher," the best new comedy of 2024 and the rare show that manages to tackle Gen Z without sounding like it was written by a bunch of dinosaurs who still ask their nephews to help them open PDFs.

High school has been a reliable TV sitcom setting since the days of Welcome Back, Kotter, but the situation in American schools is so fraught these days, it’s not exactly a laugh riot. FX’s English Teacher, though — premiering Monday, Sept. 2 at 10/9c; I’ve seen the first three episodes — bravely wades into those choppy waters and finds plenty of laughs there by taking a refreshingly frank look at our current educational system. It’s one of the funniest new shows of the year, and it’s a triumph for star and series creator Brian Jordan Alvarez, who announces...

As the vibration of cicadas began echoing along the French Broad River in Asheville, North Carolina, last week, the Americana/indie sounds of Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters began to join in. AVLfest, the annual celebration of Asheville music, was underway.

“It’s such a windy world out there/everybody keeps on blowing away,” Platt sang in her whimsical tone akin to Bonnie Raitt during “Mirage,” a cut from the Honeycutters’ latest release. “I try to tell myself that I don’t care/but I learn to love the ones that stay.

FX, which is about to say goodbye to one of its comedies, is adding another to its lineup.

The Disney-owned outlet has handed a series order to Snowflakes, an ensemble comedy about “a group of codependent housemates trying to be good people, despite being neither ‘good’ nor ‘people’ yet,” as the show’s logline puts it.

The series, for which FX ordered a pilot in January, comes from FX Productions and writers Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon). Nick Kroll (who has a first-look deal with FX Productions), Baskets co-creator Jonathan Krisel and Atlanta and What We Do in the Shadows alum Stefani Robinson are among the executive producers. Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao and Owen Thiele play the five twentysomething housemates.

“We are excited about the exceptional cast and powerhouse comedy team we’ve assembled for Snowflakes,” said FX Entertainment president Nick Grad.

After spending recent years suited up in the comic book world of the Arrowverse, Caity Lotz’s latest project is ripped from today’s headlines. The actress stars alongside real-life husband Kyle Schmid (NCIS: Origins) in Lifetime’s Yoga Teacher KIller: The Kaitlin Armstrong Story. When pro-cyclist Moriah “Mo” Wilson is found dead in 2022, an investigation points to Lotz’s Armstrong. The yoga teacher lived with her on-and-off boyfriend and pro gravel-racer in his own right, Colin Strickland (Schmid). Rage and jealousy overtook her after finding out about Wilson and Strickland’s affair. Knowing the authorities were hot on her heels, Armstrong fled the country leading to an international manhunt. There are, of course, twists and trunks along the way. Armstrong was ultimately found guilty of shooting Wilson and sentenced to 90 years in prison. Here Lotz and Schmid talk about what it’s like working together onscreen for the first time.

Vanna White will reportedly be missing from Wheel of Fortune for the first time in over 30 years amid contract negotiations following host Pat Sajak‘s forthcoming retirement. During Wheel of Fortune’s “Teachers Week” block filmed in late July, White is said to have caught Covid, Puck News reports. Instead of postponing shooting while White recuperated, show bosses are said to have used California-based “Teacher of the Year” recipient Bridgette Donald-Blue to fill in as letter turner. The episodes will likely air in October. Bridgette Donald-Blue LinkedIn The decision has come as White’s contract negotiations have heated up as she seeks her first salary increase in almost 20 years. Sources suggest the decision could be a “smart producing move, or a veiled message sent to White’s aggressive lawyers: Go ahead, push us harder.” According to TMZ, White’s lawyer Bryan Freedman told Sony Pictures his client is looking for 50% of what [Pat] Sajak makes.

Palestinian-British filmmaker Farah Nabulsi’s upcoming drama “The Teacher,” which is shot and set in Palestine’s West Bank, has been acquired by top Italian indie distributor Eagle Pictures just as Vincent Maraval’s Goodfellas launches sales on the timely title in Cannes.

Goodfellas, formerly known as Wild Bunch, on Thursday will be presenting to buyers the almost completed film that takes its cue from a real prisoners swap that took place in 2011 when Israel freed more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one soldier who had been kidnapped by Palestinian militants.

In “The Teacher” a Palestinian school teacher played by Saleh Bakri struggles to reconcile his commitment to political resistance with his emotional support for one of his students. There is also a subplot involving his romantic relationship with a British volunteer worker, played by Imogen Poots (“The Father”).

“It takes place at a moment where an Israeli-Jewish-American soldier...

If you watched “American Idol’s” Hawaii-based episodes this week, you had the same question we did: who left the Top 26 so that Paige Anne could return? The answer wasn’t revealed on ABC’s reality TV show, so fans went scrambling to every corner of the internet to try to find answers. Well, we now know that Beckett Rex is the name of the person who voluntarily quit the competition. This 19-year-old singer, who was not actually shown on TV during any of the prior rounds, is the son of actor Malcolm McDowell.

“To all of you who are wondering, yes I was on ‘American Idol’ and I made the Top 26,” Beckett revealed on his Instagram Story. “I’m not going to say why I didn’t decide to continue in the competition but what I will say is that it was my choice.”

Beckett continued on, “I am...

This piece contains spoilers for "The Last of Us," as well as discussions of sexual abuse.

HBO's adaptation of "The Last of Us" has not been afraid of getting dark with its reinterpretation of Naughty Dog's original game. While never going totally overboard and into cruelty for the sake of cruelty, it has been able to use its instances of disturbing violence to drive home its central point -- that morality in times of crisis isn't black and white.

To a certain extent, its latest episode, "When We Are In Need," follows this same thread. After recovering from a nasty stab wound, Joel (Pedro Pascal) tortures and kills two men, even after obtaining useful information from them, just to get back to Ellie (Bella Ramsey). While he did it for an understandable reason, Joel has once again crossed a moral line that he probably can never uncross. There is...

Two weeks ago, Amazon unveiled an unnerving teaser trailer for their horror thriller series Swarm, executive produced by Donald Glover. Now a full trailer has arrived online to give us a deeper look at the show’s story and characters, and you can check it out in the embed above.

With the logline “Murder. Sex. Music.”, Swarm stars Dominique Fishback (Judas and the Black Messiah) as Dre, a young woman whose obsession with a pop star takes a dark turn.

Glover created Swarm with Atlanta co-executive producer Janine Nabers and directed the pilot episode. Glover and Nabers executive produced the show together, and Nabers also served as showrunner. In addition to the show’s creators,...

Atlanta duo Donald Glover and Janine Nabers take stan culture to the extreme in the upcoming Amazon Prime Video series Swarm.

The first teaser for the show focuses on Dominique Fishback’s Dre, “a young woman whose obsession with a pop star takes a dark turn,” Prime Video said of Swarm. “Who is your favorite artist?” is asked repeatedly in the preview, which hints at murder in addition to the hero worship.

Nabers, a writer on the cult FX series Atlanta, serves as showrunner on Swarm, while Glover directed the pilot episode.

Some unexpected winners at the SAG Awards could potentially shake up the Oscar race with less than a month until the show.

“On Sunday night, SAG’s top film award, best ensemble, was won by Coda, Apple’s moving dramedy about a family of four, three of whom are deaf and the fourth of whom is hearing.

Sidney Poitier, the noble leading man whose work in such films as No Way Out, Lilies of the Field and In the Heat of the Night paved the way for minority actors and actresses everywhere, has died. He was 94.

Poitier died Thursday night at his home in Beverly Hills, a rep for his family told The Hollywood Reporter.

Director Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice) has tapped rising star Millicent Simmonds (A Quiet Place) and Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), to star in Helen & Teacher about famous Deafblind activist Hellen Keller and Anne Sullivan, her committed yet controlling translator and companion.

Simmonds, who will star as Keller, is in fact a distant cousin of the author and disability rights advocate.

Set during the early 1900’s, the movie will follow Keller’s tumultuous time at Radcliffe College of Harvard University when her rapidly expanding worldview and sexual awakening brings her into direct conflict with the more conservative Sullivan. When Ms. Sullivan is courted by the young and brilliant publisher, John Macy, tensions escalate between the two women threatening the bonds of their friendship.

Cornerstone will handle international sales and distribution and will commence sales at next month’s American Film Market. UTA Independent Film Group and WME are overseeing the U.

The Professor has come up with brilliant ideas to get out of tight jams for four seasons on the Spanish crime drama Money Heist. But when Netflix’s wildly popular series (also known as La Casa

de Papel) roared back Friday with the first half of its highly anticipated Season 5, everyone’s favorite mastermind seemed at a loss.

If his momentary confusion is to be believed, the Professor never anticipated disgraced inspector Alicia Sierra to get the jump on him. He also never thought the merciless pregnant woman would chain him up, torture him and shoot him in the left foot — but she did.

"My professor is missing..." Integrity is opening this B-movie direct-to-vod next week if you want to watch it - Final Frequency, directed by the filmmaker Tom Lowry.

The sci-fi thriller indie film follows a band of misfits as they work to thwart rogue scientists who are using Tesla's most secret formulas to create the "Mother of all Earthquakes" and collapse downtown Los Angeles during the G-20 World Summit. Described as a "fast-paced and fun adventure inspired by the legend of Nikola Tesla's lost journals." This looks as terrible as it sounds, but that's exactly what makes it an entertaining B-movie.

Heads up, Golden Globe fans: Wednesday morning’s slew of nominations will honor the best TV shows of 2020, which means programs that aired during the 2019 calendar year are ineligible. Since the HBO juggernaut recently took the Emmys by storm, winning 11 trophies in the limited series races, that means there are some big shoes to fill at the 2021 Golden Globes. So what’s predicted to win Best Limited Series/TV Movie now?

According to our Golden Globe predictions, “The Queen’s Gambit,” “Unorthodox,” “The Undoing,” “Mrs. America” and “Normal People” will be the five series nominees.

Each episode of FX on Hulu’s A Teacher is preceded by a content warning I’ve never seen before: It warns about “sexual situations,” but also “depictions of grooming that may be disturbing.” And it’s needed, too, because A Teacher — debuting Tuesday, Nov. 10; I’ve seen all ten episodes — is certainly disturbing, depicting a sexual relationship between a high school teacher and a student in unprecedentedly graphic detail for a TV series. (It’s so nerve-wracking to watch unfold, it’s almost like a horror movie at times.) But it also badly fumbles its execution, with a fundamentally...

There are plenty of awesome movies already available to stream on Netflix, but today sees the arrival of a great flick from 2011 that’s at least worth a weekend viewing for comedy fans. Even better, it stars a retired actress that we all truly miss on the big screen.

Cameron Diaz’s Bad Teacher is a raunchy flick that follows a lazy woman who gets dumped by her rich fiancé and is forced to return to her old career as a middle school teacher so that she can afford breast implants. Unfortunately for the school and her students, though, she’s indifferent to the job itself, and her selfish antics create chaos for everyone who crosses her path.

Bad Teacher only has a 44% on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating that it’s not Diaz’s best work. But rest assured that while the film may not make its way up your favorite movies list,...

FX on Hulu dropped the trailer for “A Teacher” on Wednesday, a half-hour limited series starring Kate Mara and Nick Robinson as a teacher and student who get wrapped up in a dangerous affair.

In the video, which you can view above, you’ll meet Claire Wilson (Mara) and Eric Walker (Robinson), who at first appear to be a normal, happy couple enjoying a nice date together. But it’s quickly revealed the next day that Claire is actually high-school student Eric’s English teacher. Things only get more twisted up from there, as the secret of their affair isn’t kept for long.

FX Networks said Wednesday that “A Teacher,” created by Hannah Fidell, will premiere its first three episodes on FX on Hulu Nov. 10. The remainder of the 10-episode season will roll out weekly on Tuesdays.

In other scheduling news, FX said Wednesday that the two-episode Season 4 premiere...
