Emma Stone became the lucky 13th two-time Best Actress Oscar champ with her recent win for “Poor Things.” And she could well be adding an Emmy to her awards collection for her leading role in Showtime’s idiosyncratic drama series “The Curse.”
“The Curse,” created by Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie, follows a newly married couple (Stone and Fielder) who host an HGTV show while trying to conceive a baby and navigate a curse.

Maslany has now returned to series television, although this time in a supporting role, in the premiere season of HBO’s “Perry Mason.” In this reboot of the classic series starring Emmy winner Matthew Rhys as the title character, she plays the charismatic evangelist Sister Alice McKeegan. She enthralls her enthusiastic followers in 1930s Los Angeles with her own blend of scripture and old-fashioned razzle-dazzle, all orchestrated by her manager mother (Lili Taylor).
