James Lipton, Longtime Host of Inside the Actors Studio, Has Passed Away

If The Credits were to have a patron saint, we couldn’t do better than Inside the Actors Studios host James Lipton. The thoughtful, probing interviewer of some of film’s most talented directors, screenwriters, and, as the show’s title suggests, performers passed away on Monday at the age of 93. Lipton’s knowledge about the craft of filmmaking, and his focus on craft over gossip, made him one of the most trusted and insightful interviewers of the past two decades.

The Cast of Gentefied on Netflix’s Glorious New Series

The show, which has been in the new “top ten in the US today” category on the site since its launch date on February 21st, focuses on an extended Latinx family in LA’s Boyle Heights.

Here’s the Trailer For The Batman Director’s new Sci-Fi Series Tales of the Loop

The new trailer for Amazon Studios Tales From the Loop is a gem. It’s surprisingly low on dark visions of some future apocalypse or robots run amok. Instead, this understated but visually arresting 97-second glimpse gives us a taste of a show the streaming service is hailing as a “groundbreaking drama series.” Tales From The Loop comes from Matt Reeves, director of the upcoming The Batman, and is inspired by the art of Simon Stålenhag.

Netflix Reveals the First Teaser for Damien Chazelle’s The Eddy

We know by now that writer/director Damien Chazelle is one of our most music-obsessed filmmakers. His breakout film Whiplash and his follow-up La La Land proved Chazelle is deeply passionate about music. While he went on to make the thrilling space epic First Man, Chazelle is back with a music-centered limited series for Netflix, The Eddy. Chazelle created the series (and directs a few episodes) in which we follow a jazz pianist and Paris club owner named Elliot Udo (André Holland).

Your Definitive Star Wars Timeline is Here

With Star Wars: The Clone Wars returning for its final season on Disney+, now’s a good time to get a definitive timeline on exactly when each of our major Star Wars sagas took place. Sure, you can always Google to find out where each new Star Wars installment fits, but getting something official obviates that need. To that end, we can thank Disney+ for tweeting out an official timeline that situates all the feature films,

Here’s Everything New on HBO This March

March is going to be a big month for HBO. Not that the premium cable channel doesn’t try to make every month big; it hasn’t slowed down—at all—since Game of Thrones bowed. Ever since the flagship series ended its run, HBO launched the epic fantasy His Dark Materials, and Damon Lindelof’s spectacular Watchmen, just to name two major new series. This March will see some of the most eagerly anticipated series bowing or returning to HBO.

Westworld’s Season Three Trailer is Thrilling

HBO has just released Westworld‘s season three trailer, and we are enthused. One of TV’s most ambitious sci-fi series returns, and it appears to be bigger and bolder than ever.

See How a Novel Technology Helped Create The Mandalorian’s Hyper-Realistic Worlds

Disney+’s The Mandalorian looked so ravishingly good it was easy to forget it wasn’t a Star Wars feature film sliced and diced into a series. The feature film-level look was achieved primarily through a new technology called StageCraft. What StageCraft does is create a hyper-realistic, reactive environment that moves with the camera. In a new behind-the-scenes video from Industrial Light & Magic, you’ll see how The Mandalorian used this tech to create the many worlds our titular bounty hunter plied his trade on.

Future Man’s Cinematographer Sylvaine Dufaux on Hulu’s Hilarious Time Tripper

In Hulu‘s Future Man, a gent by the unimprovable name of Josh Futturman (The Hunger Games‘ Josh Hutcherson) finds himself in a fairly extreme circumstance. Josh is a janitor by day and a bigtime gamer by night, and his life is reasonable and normal until it’s suddenly very unreasonable and abnormal. He’s recruited by a pair of time travelers (played by Derek Wilson and Eliza Coupe) and tasked with traveling through time himself to save humanity.

HBO’s Beforeigners Trailer Imagines Vikings in Modern-Day Oslo

Any new HBO series is worthy of notice, especially when that series has a grand, ambitious conceit that sounds a little crazy on first blush. That’s the case for the premium channel’s new show Beforeigners, which imagines Vikings (and folks from the Stone Age, as well as the 1800s) appearing all over the world.

Beforeigners is mainly set in modern-day Oslo, with drama centered around a police investigation.

New Clip of Disney+’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars Reveals “The Bad Batch”

For Star Wars fans, Disney+’s upcoming airing of the conclusion to Star Wars: The Clone Wars series is seriously great news.

We’ve got a glimpse of the first of the final episodes, “The Bad Batch,” which looks fantastic,

Here’s the First Trailer for Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories

Children in danger. Children becoming heroes and facing danger. Families in peril, and families coming together. Inexplicable supernatural and alien events. This and more is in store for viewers in one of the most intriguing new TV series to launch this year. We’re talking about Steven Spielberg‘s Amazing Stories. Apple TV+ has revealed the first trailer for Spielberg’s reboot of the classic sci-fi/fantasy anthology series, which is executive produced by the master himself.

A new Stranger Things Season 4 Teaser Reveals That Hopper’s Alive

At the end of Stranger Things‘ epic third season, it appeared that Hawkins Sheriff Jim Hopper (David Harbour) had paid the ultimate price in order to save his beloved Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) and the rest of Hawkins from a nefarious Russian plot. Granted, Harbour’s one of the series most beloved characters and a mid-credits scene seemed to imply the courageous grump might still be alive. Yet we couldn’t be certain—until now.

Little America’s Production Designer Amy Williams on Apple TV+’s Beautiful New Series

Apple TV+‘s Little America is the rare show that you could argue really and truly needs to be seen right now. The anthology series from executive producers Alan Yang (Parks and Recreation, Master of None) and Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick, Silicon Valley) focuses on the lives of largely working-class immigrants in America. Each episode focuses on the experience of a different character,

Production Designer Arwel Jones on Designing a New Dracula

Consistent with Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, Netflix’s new three-episode Dracula series begins with a hapless English solicitor, Jonathan Harker (John Heffernan), ignoring the Transylvanian locals’ misgivings to make his way on a snowy evening to Count Dracula’s forbidding castle. In the original novel, Harker is initially impressed with his host’s social graces before realizing he’s a prisoner, but 2020’s Dracula (Claes Bang) is ratty haired and grim, intent on getting the social skills he’ll need for England from his guest.

The First Trailer for HBO’s The Plot Against America Reveals David Simon’s Gripping Roth Adaptation

When word spread that The Wire mastermind David Simon would be adapting legendary novelist Philip Roth’s brilliant dystopian book “The Plot Against America” for HBO (along with executive producer Ed Burns, another The Wire alum), we were enthused. Now that the first trailer for the upcoming series has dropped, it’s safe to say the limited series is on our must-see list.

The story is set in a World War II-era America that looks very much like our past on the surface.

Ambition and Risk Highlight Narcos: Mexico Season 2 Trailer

The last time we left Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo (Diego Luna), commonly referred to as Félix, he had managed to talk his way out of imprisonment and stay atop the Guadalaraja Cartel—the first Mexican drug cartel—using his wits alone. Granted, in order to become Mexico’s leading narco-trafficker, Félix used a lot more than wits. He was ruthless in his rise to power, and inarguably brilliant, but he only escaped prison (or death) by cutting a last-second deal in which he promised to keep the secrets of powerful players in Mexico secret,

Adam Driver Returns to SNL and Reprises Kylo Ren in Undercover Boss Sketch

Adam Driver has been just about everywhere lately. The supremely talented actor is up for an Oscar for Best Actor for his work in Noah Baumbach‘s Marriage Story. Driver also starred in a little film called Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, finishing out his arc as the First Order’s conflicted Alpha, Kylo Ren. And this past Saturday night, Driver returned to Saturday Night Live for the third time,
