As early as 2018 Jamaican superstar Shenseea was telling interviewers “By next year I want to be international, and when I say that, I don’t mean just as a dancehall artiste, but an international pop star.” Just last week Shenseea wondered aloud to Spotify if she should start classifying her sound as “dancehall pop” or “reggae pop.” Her second album, Never Gets Late Here, boldly continues on that long road to be the first Jamaican-born Main Pop Girl since Grace Jones and, thankfully, her attempts are mostly seamless.

Fauda actor Lior Raz has posted a video of himself hiding from rockets as he joined a rescue mission in the bombarded Israeli town of Sderot.
The actor, who has also appeared in Hit & Run, 6 Underground and Apple TV+’s The Crowded Room — wrote that he had travelled to the devastated south of Israel to join “hundreds of brave ‘brothers in arms’ volunteers” who were working to aid the local population, and had been dispatched to extract two families.
The short video shows Raz taking cover as Hamas missiles fly over head and crashes are heard. It’s not clear when the mission took place or if it was successful.
Israel was struck by a surprise attack over the weekend, which has left hundreds dead, many in horrific circumstances, and men, women, children and the elderly taken hostage. Israel has responded by pounding Gaza with more than 4,500 rockets,...

“From” will be returning to MGM+ for a third season in 2024, the linear channel and streamer announced Thursday.
MGM+ renewed the sci-fi series, which centers on a monstrous town that traps its visitors, for a 10-episode third season, just days after “From” aired its season 2 finale.
After debuting its second season on April 23, “From” currently stands as the network’s second-most viewed series, behind only “Godfather of Harlem,” which was co-created by Chris Brancato and Paul Eckstein and stars Forest Whitaker.
Created by John Griffin, the third installment of “From” will follow up on the season 2 finale cliffhanger, as “escape will become a tantalizing and very real possibility as the true nature of the town comes into focus, and the townspeople go on offense against the myriad horrors surrounding them,” per the official logline.

With its list of new releases for April 2023, HBO Max is premiering the final episodes of two major shows.
First up is the continuation of Titans season 4 on April 13. Returning after a four month hiatus, these next six episodes will be the last go around for HBO Max’s gritty live-action DC series. Arriving three days later on HBO proper is the fourth and final season of Barry. Bill Hader and the rest of the Barry team wrote themselves into a fascinating corner with the conclusion of season 3. And judging by the first teasers for season 4, this final batch of episodes will indeed catch up with our favorite actor/hitman in prison.
Other TV shows of note this month include the Pete Davidson-starring animated series Fired on Mars on April 20 (light ’em up) the the Elizabeth Olsen-starring true crime story Love & Death on April 27.

February is the shortest month of the year but Prime Video is paying that no mind with its jam-packed list of new releases for February 2023.
This really is an uncommonly stuffed month on the Amazon streamer and it all starts with a handful of Amazon Originals. Amazon’s original offerings kick off with the release of Dave Franco-directed romcom Somebody I Used to Know on Feb. 10. That is followed by Carnival Row season 2 – a gritty fantasy crime drama is set in a world of steampunky fairies. The show stars Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevigne and this batch of episodes will be its swan song. Meanwhile The Consultant on Feb. 24 is a dark comedy workplace thriller starring Christoph Waltz.
The biggest hits this month, however, might just be some recent cinema faves. If February is for lovers, Amazon didn’t get the memo as there are quite a few horror movies of note here.

Many directors have taken on the challenge of bringing Batman to the big screen. Some have been successful, while others have created ... well, less successful renderings of the infamous vigilante. Tim Burton's 1989 adaptation of the comics is often looked upon as one of the best realizations of the story of Bruce Wayne. A charismatic Michael Keaton dons the cowl in Burton's vision, and he is largely convincing as he protects Gotham from the evil clutches of Jack Nicholson's maniacal Joker.
When the film was released, it was a huge success. Everything about the movie, from its fantastic casting to its score by Danny Elfman, helped make it a hit. It went on to break blockbuster records with a massive 40 million opening weekend, and went on to make 400 million in its initial run.

It may seem strange now, but there was a time when superhero movies weren't taken seriously in the movie industry. After all, superheroes and the comics they originated from were often seen as fluff entertainment, primarily for children and teenagers. Movies like "Superman" and pretty much anything released by Marvel at this time solidified this.
This perception began to change in 1989 when Tim Burton's darkly comic take on "Batman" hit theaters. Although it was still tongue-in-cheek, Burton's version of Gotham was distinct in its moodiness, proving that comic books can be adapted into adult-oriented entertainment. However, the higher-ups at Warner Bros. were allegedly bracing for its failure, at least according to the 2016 book "Hit and Run" by Nancy Griffin and Kim Masters. The book centers around the rollercoaster careers of producers Jon Peters and Peter Guber, whose big gamble on the film was shrouded in skepticism throughout the Warner Bros.

In 2005, Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins" introduced a darker and moodier version of the iconic superhero than had ever been seen on-screen before, and that angst and violence was further embraced by Matt Reeves' "The Batman" in 2022. For the first time in a while, moviegoers were given raw and brutal street fights between The Dark Knight and Gotham goons, and wanted more.
The overwhelming success of Nolan and Reeves' films proved that Batman fans longed for the tortured and barbaric version of the character after years of being dragged through goofy and childish portrayals of the vigilante in films such as 1966's "Batman," starring Adam West, and 1997's "Batman & Robin," starring George Clooney. Nolan's trilogy often receives credit, rightfully so, for tossing the grit and dirt back into the vigilante's image and tugging the film version of Batman closer to his graphic novel roots. However, Nolan wasn't the first...

Rhea Seehorn may have lost her first Emmy bid for the final season of “Better Call Saul” but she could well be back in the hunt next year. Our sister site Deadline is reporting that she is reuniting with that show’s creator, Vince Gilligan for his new drama that has just landed a two-season commitment from Apple TV+.
As Nellie Andreeva notes, “the new series is said to be set in our world while putting a tweak on it, bending reality and focusing on people and exploring the human condition in an unexpected, surprising way. Thought-provoking but not a morality tale, the series also is expected to carry the signature Gilligan tone that infuses drama with humor.”
Gilligan has won four of his whopping 22 Emmy bids, picking up a pair as a producer of the crime drama “Breaking Bad” in 2013 and 2014 and two more for short form series — “Los...

After five seasons without recognition at the Emmys for her work on AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” Rhea Seehorn finally broke into Best Drama Supporting Actress this year for her stellar performance in the first half of the sixth season (she’s also nominated for Best Short Form Actress for “Cooper’s Bar”). Seehorn joins a long list of main cast members who were overlooked for Emmy nominations until late in their series’ runs, including Kit Harington for “Game of Thrones,” Jennifer Aniston for “Friends,” Pat Harrington Jr. for “One Day At A Time,” and the entire cast of “Schitt’s Creek.” She is nominated for portraying lawyer Kim Wexler, Jimmy McGill’s (Bob Odenkirk) wife on the series.
Seehorn’s submission is the fourth episode of season six, “Hit and Run,” which centers around Kim’s continuing plot against her former boss, Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian), to sabotage his career. She...

The 2022 Emmys ballot for Best Drama Writing has 211 submissions, which will once again result in seven nominees in this category, something that has been consistent since 2020. Before we dive into this year’s likely writing contenders, let’s remember that last year’s winner was “The Crown” (“War” by Peter Morgan) and the other nominees were “The Boys” (“What I Know” by Rebecca Sonnenshine), “The Handmaid’s Tale” (“Home” by Yahlin Chang), “Lovecraft Country” (“Sundown” by Misha Green), “The Mandalorian” (“Chapter 13: The Jedi” by Dave Filoni), “The Mandalorian” (“Chapter 16: The Rescue” by Jon Favreau) and “Pose”.
None of these shows will be in contention this year, as they have either concluded or did not air any new episodes in the eligibility timeline, so this category will have a whole new batch of nominees. “Better Call Saul,” “Ozark” and “Succession” took 6/7 slots in this category two years ago the last time they were eligible,...

A message to members of the TV Academy: Want the easiest way to placate grouchy TV critics? Nominate Rhea Seehorn for her work on AMC’s Better Call Saul.
This really should be a breeze. This isn’t one of those situations where you’re ignoring The Wire or the first few seasons of Friday Night Lights or The Americans entirely and so no one expects you to recognize their casts. Plus, didn’t you see how grateful folks were when Kyle Chandler and Matthew Rhys finally surfaced on Emmy radars, however belatedly? Saul is a perennial outstanding drama series nominee and a show that has picked up acting nominations for Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito, Jonathan Banks and Michael McKean (albeit for the wrong season) over the years.
So why not Seehorn? Wait. No. Let me rephrase that. So how can you possibly keep ignoring Seehorn?...

“Kim has not seen ‘Breaking Bad,’ so she’s unaware of the wall they’re running into,” declares actress Rhea Seehorn about the character of Kim Wexler she plays on “Better Call Saul.” For our recent webchat she continues, “It’s much easier to make 1,000 slightly bad decisions than one giant bad decision.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
“Better Call Saul” is midway through its sixth and final season. Developing her acclaimed character (which is shockingly yet to receive an Emmy nomination), Seehorn admits, “Other than knowing she was going to be allowed to be complex, everything else was just coming a piece at a time, a jigsaw puzzle piece at a time. It was a very interesting dance. I was doing my own subtext and background work while they were doing theirs. We just had this feeding off of each other’s material in a way that wasn’t even spoken sometimes.

If watching “Better Call Saul” teaches you to focus on the little things, the same goes for directing it.
After more than five seasons of playing lawyer for all clients and ascendant schemer Kim Wexler, Rhea Seehorn took her turn in the director’s chair for the Season 6 episode “Hit and Run.” It’s an hour of paranoia and trust and setbacks and fear and a glimmer of hope, all wrapped up into one.
On a visual and emotional level, it took as much planning as Kim and Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) put into each step of their evolving plans for staying afloat in their connected personal and professional lives. True to series’ form, “Hit and Run” is a balance of the cosmic and the intimate, pairing long-brewing plans to ruin careers with thoughtful character touches along the way.

The owner of the local chicken chain? He’s a drug kingpin. The sickly high school chemistry teacher? He’s cooking meth. Even the parking attendant that takes your ticket may secretly be a one-man wrecking crew for a local criminal outfit. No one is who they appear to be.
Except for Jimmy, or should we say, Saul Goodman. With his loud suits, garish commercials, and schmoozy demeanor, Saul advertises to the world exactly who he is and to which audience he is catering.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Season 6, Episode 4 of Better Call Saul, “Hit and Run.”] Better Call Saul is getting back to Jimmy’s (Bob Odenkirk) transformation storyline as he becomes closer and closer to the criminal lawyer fans knew from Breaking Bad in “Hit and Run.” After last week’s sad Nacho (Michael Mando) reveal, Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) is antsier than ever to ward off any sneak attacks that could arise from Lalo (Tony Dalton), and Kim (Rhea Seehorn) is determined to see her and Jimmy’s scheme through in the installment. Below, we’re breaking down all of the key moments from the entertaining episode, so beware of spoilers ahead.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Better Call Saul” Season 6, Episode 4, “Hit and Run.”]
One of the ways that “Better Call Saul” keeps you on your toes is reminding you that there’s always another corner of Albuquerque to discover. It’s not all trips to the courthouse or rendezvouses at roadside diners or meetings in law firm boardrooms. So when “Hit and Run” opens with a glimpse at suburbia, as seen through the eyes of a pair of neighborhood folks seemingly more concerned with homeowner’s association to-dos than regional drug trafficking concerns, it’s a reminder that the net can always be cast wider.
Of course, these aren’t exactly ordinary residents counting down the days to the next cul-de-sac bake sale. They’re employees in the ever-widening Gus Fring empire, part of a house-sized security detail with one key directive: keep the Chicken Man alive. It’s the early-2000s American Southwest equivalent...

Exclusive: Michael Shannon starred as FBI negotiator Gary Noesner in Paramount Network’s 2018 series Waco and four years later he has boarded the follow up series as an executive producer.
Shannon is set as one of the exec producers, alongside creators and showrunners Drew and John Erick Dowdle, for Paramount+’s American Tragedies: Waco – The Trials (w/t).
The drama was first teased in February 2021 at Paramount’s investor day to launch its streaming service, although little was known about the project at the time.
The new series is slated to launch in 2023 to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the tragic events in Texas.

Exclusive: Mandeville Films and Television partners and co-owners David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman could be ending their 20-plus-year run together.
Deadline understands that the pair, who are behind feature films including Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast and Amazon’s The Aeronauts and have racked up more than $4 billion in domestic box office receipts, are in talks to go their separate ways.
The company, which also was behind USA Network’s hit series Monk, was founded in 1995 by former Disney president of production Hoberman, with Lieberman becoming his partner in 2001.
The duo are considering a number of possible scenarios in which they pursue their own projects, while still occasionally partnering on films. Reps for the company declined comment.
It would mark a split at one of Hollywood’s longest-running film and television partnerships. The company, which had a long-running deal on the film side at Disney Studios Motion Pictures since the 1990s,...

Updated with official announcement: Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs’ Blackstone-backed Candle Media has formally clinched its latest deal — for Faraway Road Productions, the company behind Fauda and Hit & Run.
The acquistion had been anticipated and marks the latest expansion of the company into content in a handful of deals in recent months that’s made it a major player in media M&a. Last week, it agreed to buy a minority stake in Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s Westbrook Inc., which followed acquisitions of Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine and Moonbug Entertainment, producer of Netflix runaway kids’ favorite CoComelon.
Founded by Lior Raz & Avi Issacharoff, Faraway Road Productions is set to premiere season four of Fauda later this year on Israel’s Yes TV and streaming worldwide on Netflix. Other current development projects include the film Siege of Bethlehem – to...
