The second season of Netflix's Wednesday has added a new cast member that's sure to bring the show a lot of attention, with Lady Gaga set to join the Addams Family spin-off series in a mysterious role.

Details on Gaga's character have not been released, but Variety believes that her part is more likely to be a cameo than a full-on supporting role.

Gaga's involvement with the series was foreshadowed shortly after the first season, when a meme featuring Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams dancing to a sped-up version of 2011's Bloody Mary went viral.

Ortega would later state that she would love Gaga to be a part of the show while being interviewed at the 2023 Golden Globes.

"I'm sure Netflix would love that. I think Mrs. Thornhill and Wednesday had this weird mentor relationship or kind of understood each other in a certain way, so, if Lady Gaga were to be a part,...

Traditional horror movies with an easy-to-follow plot, relatable characters, and a healthy dose of scares are probably every horror fan’s comfort food. That’s because, when it comes to horror, the experimental and abstract genre pieces can be very hit or miss. In 2024 alone, I have come across In A Violent Nature, and I loved its take on the slasher subgenre. Bramayugam’s exploration of casteism and classism on a monochrome canvas was excellent. Oddity’s portrayal of revenge was haunting. And Outside’s use of the zombie subgenre to talk about the patriarchy was worthy of all the applause in the world. Then you have movies like Night Swim, The Devil’s Bath, Consumed, Baghead, The Hangman, Munjya, MadS, Mr. Crocket, and Don’t Move, which undoubtedly have a good concept at their core, but the execution is simply too muddled to be impactful. I am sad to say that...

Back in 1986, David Cronenberg directed a remake of Kurt Neumann’s 1958 sci-fi horror classic The Fly (which was based on George Langelaan’s short story) – and the result is considered to be one of the best remakes of all time. 20th Century Fox, now the Disney subsidiary 20th Century Studios, has been wanting to replicate that success with another remake for a couple of decades now… but the project has never managed to escape from development hell. Cronenberg wanted to come back and make another Fly movie, but it fell apart over budgetary issues. Screenwriter Todd Lincoln wrote a remake of The Fly that he described as a “dark, twisted, grounded re- imagining… Part Val-Lewton, part J.G. Ballard, part Neal Stephenson with some Horror Manga touches.” The studio wasn’t into it. J.D. Dillard was attached to direct a new version of The Fly for years, then stepped away from it.

Jackie Earle Haley has over 70 screen acting credits to his name. He was one of the Bad News Bears, he earned an Oscar nomination for his performance in the film Little Children, he played Rorschach in Zack Snyder‘s take on Watchmen. He worked with Steven Spielberg on Lincoln and with Martin Scorsese on Shutter Island. He has dealt with Dollman, the Maniac Cop, and the remake RoboCop, and he played Freddy Krueger in a poorly-received remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. And now, Deadline reports that Haley is set to star in the game show-themed slasher movie I’m Your Host.

Coming our way from Benacus Entertainment and Rnf Productions, I’m Your Host is directed by Dw Medoff (I Will Never Leave You Alone) from a screenplay written by Joey Miller. The story centers on four friends trapped in a sadistic game show, where they must outwit a twisted...

A mission critical to the survival of mankind runs into problems somewhere in the outer reaches of the solar system. That and the loneliness of space travel are two of science fiction’s core themes, and Slingshot is the most recent film to bring them to the screen. Too often, though, Hollywood’s attempts fail to do either idea justice. Dare we hope that this time they’ve gotten it right?

Ah, August. We’re almost there, people. If we can just get through another four weeks of blazing temperatures, surging electricity bills, and sweating through more outfits than your coolest Olympian, then… well, then we’ll probably have four more weeks of the same wretched heat. But maybe not! September, while still typically quite warm, is still historically milder than July and August, which means there’s hope for a few precious days of 70-degree, maybe even 68-degree weather. And when you’re melting into your bed each night, hope means everything.

Hope is also present in the best new shows on Netflix this month. While the streamer is reserving its most anticipated releases for the traditional start of TV season in September — a rom-com series with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody! a family murder-mystery starring Nicole Kidman! a new movie from “The Leftovers’” own Carrie Coon! — the August Netflix calendar is actually pretty stacked.

Summer may start winding down next month, but Netflix is charging full steam ahead. From the highly anticipated return of “The Umbrella Academy” to cult classics like “White Chicks” — the August 2024 Netflix streaming catalogue will have you glued to your couch all month long.

To cure the post-Olympics blues, Lily Collins and Ashley Park will be taking audiences back to Paris for the fourth and final season of “Emily in Paris.” The fan favorite is returning after a two-year break, with the first five episodes. Speaking of fan favorites, “Wednesday” star Emma Myers is returning in “Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” a Netflix/BBC coproduced murder mystery series. To round off the Netflix original content, there are three buzzy comedy specials heading to you this August — from Langston Kerman, Joe Rogan and Matt Rife.

Along with originals, subscribers can look forward existing content like all eight seasons of “Fear the Walking Dead,...

Emily is still in Paris, Zack Snyder unleashes his latest “Snyder Cuts,” the Hargreeves children have to save the world one more time, the Terminator goes animated and a host of AMC gems are among the highlights of a busy month of new releases on Netflix.

On Aug. 1, the six-part mystery series A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder debuts on Netflix. In the show, Wednesday star Emma Myers (with a solid British accent!) plays a teenage gumshoe who gets to the bottom of a homicide case years earlier in a small English village in this adaptation of Holly Jackson’s popular YA novel. Created by Poppy Cogan the show has Miss Marple vibes and also stars Zain Iqbal, Asha Banks, Mathew Baynton, Gary Beadle and Anna Maxwell Martin.

Hoping to repeat the “Snyder Cut” magic on Aug. 2, Netflix releases director’s cut versions of Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part...

August is a big month for Netflix with lots of new originals hitting the streamer. The Umbrella Academy returns for its fourth and final season with the Hargreeves siblings forced to save the world one last time. Part one of Emily in Paris season 4 arrives this month as well, and Emily’s (Lily Collins) love life is as complicated as ever.

The director’s cuts of Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon: Part One and Rebel Moon: Part Two will also be available to watch from Aug. 2, both offering an even more hardcore, bloodier version of the director’s sci-fi saga.

There will also be a selection of AMC shows available on Netflix starting this month, including the first seasons of the hit series Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. If you’ve been wanting to catch up on these series and others,...

AMC is sitting on a treasure trove of television that deserves more attention. Everyone knows the house responsible for three of the finest entries in the age of the TV antihero -- "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad," and "Better Call Saul" -- is home to "The Walking Dead" and its many sequels and spinoffs. But it's also the network that's given us "Orphan Black," "Halt and Catch Fire," "Dark Winds," "Lodge 49," "Into the Badlands," and all the other best shows you've heard of but never gotten around the watching because there's just too much damn interesting TV to check out as is. Thankfully, though, one of the more underseen jewels in AMC's crown -- not to mention the greatest vampire show on television -- is about to become available to a much larger audience.

Thanks to a newly-minted deal between AMC and Netflix (via Variety), the latter company will begin...

Titles begin arriving on Aug. 19 and will remain on Netflix for a year after their premiere date.

Netflix is about to get a big infusion of content of prestige programming. The world’s largest streaming service is set to get access to 15 of AMC’s most popular current series this summer, in a deal reminiscent of AMC’s 2023 licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery’s streamer Max. For Netflix, it’s yet another licensing deal that will almost certainly keep customers engaged, while for AMC, it represents new revenue and a way to drive people to its own streaming service AMC+.

Key Details: The shows begin to arrive on Netflix on Monday, Aug. 19. AMC promised to seek out more licensing deals in the wake of last year’s agreement with Max. The deal once again raises the prospect of Netflix trying to buy AMC. 7-Day Free Trial $4.99+ / month amc+ via...

We have good news to report, horror fans! In a surprise move, Netflix has struck a deal with AMC that will see 13 AMC shows come to the streaming platform on Aug.19, 2024. Out of these 13 series, six are of the horror genre. The licensing deal will last a year, meaning these shows will be available to stream on Netflix for an entire year before departing. Below, we shared every AMC show set to come to Netflix soon.

Interview with the Vampire season 1

Interview with the Vampire is based on Anne Rice's 1976 novel of the same name as well as her Vampire Chronicles book series. It centers around the centuries-old vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac, as he recounts his life story to a renowned journalist named Daniel Molloy. Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid

Eric Bogosian, Bailey Bass, Assad Zaman, and many others star in this horror series.

Cobra Kai Season 6 is finally here and it’s even better than the last one, which no one thought was possible. The Netflix series follows the story of Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who has kind of left bullying and turned into a karate instructor. The series continues the story of the 1984 film The Karate Kid, in which Johnny lost the “All Valley Karate Tournament” to his enemy Daniel (Ralph Macchio). In the series, Johnny inspires weak kids to learn karate so that they can stand up to their bullies and fight to protect themselves. Still, everything goes wrong in a very entertaining way and many iconic characters from the Karate Kid movies appear in the series. So, if you love the teen drama, action comedy, and martial arts in Cobra Kai here are some similar shows you could watch while waiting for Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2.

As the Netflix...

“Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire,” “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” and a handful of other AMC shows are coming to Netflix as part of a new deal between the network and the streamer.

The deal, which will put prior seasons of 13 AMC series on Netflix for one year, begins Aug. 19. It includes “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” Season 1, “Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire” Season 1, “Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches” Season 1, “Monsieur Spade” Season 1, “A Discovery of Witches” Seasons 1-3, “Dark Winds” Seasons 1-2, “Fear the Walking Dead” Seasons 1-8, “Gangs of London” Seasons 1-2, “Into the Badlands” Seasons 1-3, “Kevin can F*** Himself” Seasons 1-2, “Preacher” Seasons 1-4, “That Dirty Black Bag” Season 1 and “The Terror” Season 1.

AMC Networks is betting that the “Netflix Effect” can bring its magic to a sizable portion of its lineup. A whole batch of shows from AMC are heading to Netflix in a new deal between the companies.

AMC said Tuesday that it has inked a deal with the streaming giant that will bring the prior seasons of 13 different series to the platform. Most of the shows will launch on Netflix on Aug. 19, with two others to become available in early 2025.

AMC describes the deal as a “curated selection” of shows, which will be available for 12 months. AMC has licensed shows to Netflix before, including The Walking Dead, Mad Men, Halt and Catch Fire, and of course Breaking Bad, which saw its linear viewership on AMC rise after prior seasons debuted on Netflix (Netflix also released a Breaking Bad movie in 2019, thanks in part to the success on the streamer).

AMC is selling more shows including a trio of The Walking Dead spinoffs to third parties.

The company has closed a deal with Netflix in the U.S. to bring 15 shows to the streamer as part of a “curated selection” of AMC-branded shows.

It comes after AMC did something similar with Max last year, a move that saw Fear The Walking Dead and A Discovery of Witches air on the Warner Bros. Discovery streamer as part of a two-month “pop-up” experiment. Back in November, AMC Networks CEO Kristin Dolan said that she was “actively” exploring more deals along these lines.

The move is both promotional, the hope is that more people will tune in to these shows on Netflix, bringing viewers back to AMC and its own AMC+ service, but also contains a financial element.

Some 13 AMC shows will launch on Netflix for a year beginning on August 19. These are...

Into the Badlands is “a high-octane sci-fi martial arts series” created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The AMC series is set in a dystopian future with humanity in ruins because of wars, and it follows the story of Sunny, a fierce warrior who rescues a teenager with a bounty on his head. They both journey through a dangerous territory known as the Badlands to survive. Into the Badlands stars Daniel Wu in the lead role, with Orla Brady, Sarah Bolger, Aramis Knight, Emily Beecham, Oliver Stark, Madeleine Mantock, Ally Ioannides, Marton Csokas, and Nick Frost starring in supporting roles. Into the Badlands is a unique series with a unique setting, and that’s why it is hard to find a series with a similar setting and story elements, but we have tried very hard to find shows with similar story elements and many high-octane action sequences.

Though AMC has had some popular scripted series that have run for years, many others have been cancelled after just one season. How is the current crop of shows doing? Which will be cancelled or renewed? We'll have to wait and see.

It's been a solid year since the last season of The Witcher dropped its first five episodes before concluding with the final three the following month, and while a lengthy wait is to be expected, the next season likely has fans frothing at the mouth.

It's hardly surprising since the series dropped the bombshell of Henry Cavill leaving the show due to behind-the-scenes drama, and now people want to know what that means for the series as a whole.

However, beyond this not-so-little casting shake-up, everything else about the series is still the same, apart from the epic conclusion of the third season that will bring the characters into vastly uncharted territories and worlds in the following season.

Sure, it’s not all perfect. Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson, has been pulled from the release schedule and there’s no way that Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will release this year.

Filming began on December 1st of that year – and more than two years later, we finally have an update to share on Slingshot! The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that Bleecker Street has acquired the U.S. distribution rights and are planning to give the film a wide theatrical release at some point before the end of 2024.

Written by R. Scott Adams (Donner Pass) and Nathan Parker (Moon), Slingshot will tell the story of an astronaut struggling to maintain his grip on reality aboard a possibly fatally compromised mission to Saturn’s moon, Titan.

Tomer Capon (The Boys) and The Walking Dead‘s David Morrissey are also in the cast.

Consequently, Jadyn’s first day at Glow Beauty, the renowned skincare company, is off to a rough start. When she bursts out in tears during a planning meeting for her boss’ annual Valentine’s Day soiree, her new co-workers Brandi (Cassie Clare) and Alex (Miriam-Teak Lee) help her pull herself together.

Since the pandemic, Black female-driven content with universal appeal has found a home on Hulu. Stepping away from the cliched stories that have too often defined others’ efforts, each new project from the streamer, be it “The 1619 Project” or the recent “The Other Black Girl,” grows increasingly more ambitious. “Black Cake,” produced by Oprah Winfrey, pushes the boundaries even further by centering on a biracial, immigrant woman’s experience.

Adapted from Charmaine Wilkerson’s New York Times-bestselling novel of the same name, the sweeping eight-episode family drama from showrunner Marissa Jo Cerar revolves around a Jamaican Chinese woman who has lived an epic life spanning various parts of the globe. The problem is: Her past has been kept hidden from her children. Only through a flash drive of audio recordings played after her death do they learn that they know very little of her story.

Wednesday showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar remember vividly the unusual circumstances of their first conversation with Tim Burton. The filmmaker, who they hoped they could convince to join their show, was piping in from a garden full of “life-size” dinosaur models at his U.K. home. “He was wandering around his dinosaur garden talking to us on FaceTime about his love of Wednesday Addams, and the idea that the script spoke to him in terms of being the ultimate outsider,” remembers Millar of this virtual meeting in 2020 with Burton. Just a week before, the duo were doubtful Burton would even meet with them. They had already written the entire season with the help of a pandemic-era virtual writers room, but wanted Burton’s expertise and special touches. “We were told by everyone, ‘Tim’s never done television. We don’t even know if he’ll read it,’ ” recalls Gough.

Disney+ has mined the world of superheroes quite well with their various series forays into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But, there are other graphic novels and stories that fit within the Disney wheelhouse.

But it is no coincidence that American Born Chinese is a solid series for the streaming platform.

American Born Chinese, which has Shang Chi’s Destin Daniel Cretton and Lucy Liu on board as directors, is an adaptation of the comic by Gene Luen Yang. It follows the Journey to the West story about the Monkey King and the mythical battle between gods and humans. Updating that story to a contemporary and American setting, American...
