In 2018, Michelle and Barack Obama's production company Higher Ground signed a multi-year deal with Netflix, the biggest streaming service in the world. The Obamas were set to produce a number of high-profile projects, both scripted and unscripted.
Their first scripted project will premiere on May 9th, and it's not what you might have expected from the former President and First Lady. Bodkin is a dark comedy/mystery/thriller set in a small Irish town, starring comedy legend Will Forte.
What's It About?
True crime podcasters Gilbert (Forte), Dove (Siobhán Cullen), and Emmy (Robyn Cara) are desperately hoping to find a story juicy enough to make their podcast stand out in a crowded market. They decide to head to Ireland, where three strangers once disappeared from the (fictional) small coastal town of Bodkin.
The podcasters come to Bodkin on the festival of Samhain (which one character flippantly describes as 'the Irish Day of the Dead'.

Jeff Zucker and Gerry Cardinale’s RedBird Imi has finalized a £1.15 billion ($1.45 billion) deal to acquire production powerhouse All3Media — the largest TV producer in the U.K. and the company behind such shows as reality series Squid Game: The Challenge and films like World War I epic 1917 — from owners Warner Bros. Discovery and John Malone’s cable and telecom giant Liberty Global.
The deal gives the new owner control over a big production business across scripted and unscripted series as well as theatrical movie titles. Earlier this year, RedBird Imi acquired a stake in Media Res, the studio behind the Apple TV+ shows The Morning Show and Pachinko, among other projects, which was founded by former HBO executive Michael Ellenberg.
Launched in late 2022 with a $1 billion war chest backed by RedBird Capital and Abu Dhabi’s Imi, RedBird Imi has the mandate to pursue investments in the news, entertainment and sports sectors.

The Crown has covered a half-century of royal romances, and in the newly released Part 2 of the sixth and final season, it chronicles a more recent one: the courtship of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Episode 5 shows William returning to school at Eton while still grappling with the immense loss of his mother Princess Diana — but also becoming a worldwide heartthrob to millions of adoring girls. (He had bags full of fan mail waiting for him in his dorm room.) He shies away from the spotlight, though, and bristles when Charles wants him to take photos together as a happy family.

Though Ben Affleck deems 2017’s Justice League “the worst experience I’ve ever seen in a business full of s—ty experiences,” he does appreciate the “genius” of Zack Snyder’s director’s cut for HBO Max.
Justice League starred Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Jason Momoa as Aquaman and Ray Fisher as Cyborg, in a storyline that resurrected Henry Cavill’s Superman to help battle a CGI Steppenwolf. Snyder, the original director, was forced to step away from the project during post-production due to a family tragedy. Joss Whedon stepped in...
