The Gotham Film Awards will celebrate the best independent movies of the past year in New York this December, and we finally know who’s in the running for this award. Sean Baker’s Anora is leading the list of contenders with a total of four nominations, including best feature.

It was clear that Anora was destined for great things after it won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and it’s living up to the hype. It will enter this year’s Gotham Film Awards as one of the main contenders for best feature, along with Halina Reijn’s Babygirl, Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, Aaron Schimberg’s A Different Man, and RaMell Ross’s Nickel Boys.

Mikey Madison is the breakout star of this film, and she received a nod for outstanding lead performance for her titular role in Anora. This category includes some of Hollywood’s biggest names, starting with Pamela Anderson for The Last Showgirl, Adrien Brody for The Brutalist, Nicole Kidman for Babygirl, and Demi Moore for The Substance.

Anora is also in the running in two more major categories – best director for Sean Baker and outstanding supporting performance for Yura Borisov. This brings its total of nominations to four, while I Saw the TV Glow and Nickel Boys are in the running for three each.

The 2024 Gotham Film Awards will return to the Cipriani Wall Street in New York on December 2.

There are two things we can expect from each season of Black Mirror—to be super-disturbing and attract an A-list cast. Season 7 will be no different, and its star-studded ensemble will include the likes Issa Rae, Awkwafina, Emma Corrin, and Rashida Jones.

In addition to Rae (Insecure), Awkwafina (The Farewell), Corrin (The Crown), and Jones (Parks and Recreation), Season 7 attracted many more acclaimed actors including Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers), Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who), Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish), and Chris O’Dowd (The Big Door Prize).

It will also star Patsy Ferran (Life After Life), Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy), Osy Ikhile (Citadel), Siena Kelly (Adult Material), Rosy McEwen (The Alienist), Harriet Walter (Succession), and Paul G. Raymond (Horrible Histories).

In addition to many newcomers, Season 7 will bring back several familiar faces. Billy Magnussen, Jimmi Simpson, Cristin Milioti, and Milanka Brooks will return for the sequel of the acclaimed episode USS Callister, which won an Emmy Award for outstanding television movie back in 2018.

Black Mirror will return for six new episodes sometime in 2025, and creator Charlie Brooker promised a mix of genres and styles, with stories ranging from deeply unpleasant to quite funny and emotional, during Netflix’s Geeked Week.

Season 4 of Bridgerton is slowly taking shape, and we finally know who’ll play Benedict’s love story in the next chapter of this story. Yerin Ha has been tapped to portray Sophie Beckett, the mysterious Lady in Silver who managed to snatch Benedict’s heart.

After three seasons on the sidelines, Benedict will finally get a chance to look for his true love match in the upcoming fourth season. After years of refusing to settle down, he’ll finally change his tune once he runs into the captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.

Bridgerton showrunner Jess Brownell told Tudum that it took time to get to Benedict’s story because “it felt important for him to explore the fullness of himself before he settles down” because “he is someone who has big appetites.”

Luke Thompson is coming back to lead the fourth season of Bridgerton, and Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Claudia Jessie, Nicola Coughlin, Luke Newton, Golda Rosheuvel, Adjoa Andoh, Ruth Gemmell, and Hannah Dodd are expected to join him.

Yerin Ha is the latest addition to the cast as Sophie Beckett, the daughter of an earl and one of his maids, who was never accepted as her father’s legitimate child. She rose to prominence with the role in the Paramount+ series Halo, and will next star in HBO’s Dune: Prophecy.

The Boys has taken us on quite a journey since its premiere five years ago, but Butcher and Homelander will soon reach the end of the road. Eric Kripke, who created this series for Amazon Prime Video, said that the upcoming Season 5 will be its final chapter.

Based on the comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys chronicled the endless push-and-pull between the team of corrupt superheroes known as The Seven and the rivaling group of vigilantes The Boys, trying to expose them for who they truly are.

This series will come back for its fourth season on June 13, and its creator Eric Kripke celebrated its return by taking to social media to announce that Season 5 will serve as its “gory, epic, emotional climax.”

The Boys could’ve easily gone on for many more years since it’s one of Prime Video’s biggest hits, but the streaming giant eventually gave Kripke the green light to wrap it up after five seasons.

“It took a minute for Amazon to agree, it took another minute to get them to clear it in all the channels so that we could finally announce it… I give them all the credit in the world and I’m so grateful for them to let me end this story on my terms. That’s obviously really rare,” he told Variety.

The beloved Broadway musical Wicked is coming to our big screens this fall, and we finally know what to expect from this adaptation. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande lead the new trailer as two young witches who are destined to shape the future of the Land of Oz.

The new Wicked trailer asks the question “Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?” – and it’s up to young witches Elphaba and Glinda to give us the answer.

Elphaba is a social pariah when she arrives at Shiz University, where her unusual green skin sets her apart from her peers. She forges an unlikely friendship with privileged and popular Glinda, but their relationship reaches a crossroads when they meet the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, setting in motion a chain of events that will have unexpected and shocking consequences for their future.

New trailer offers snippets of new versions of “Popular” and “Defying Gravity”, two of the most popular songs from the original Broadway hit. In addition to Erivo and Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, and Bowen Yang also appear in the trailer.

Wicked is scheduled to be released on November 27, while its sequel will hit the theaters exactly a year later.

The Lion King remake created quite a splash when it hit the theaters five years ago, and its prequel is on the way. Mufasa: The Lion King is coming our way just in time for Christmas, and Disney finally shared its first trailer with the world.

Mufasa: The Lion King will chronicle the origin story of Mufasa, one of the greatest kings of the Pride Lands. He was once an orphaned cup with nowhere to turn, before meeting a sympathetic lion Taka, and embarking on an expansive journey with an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny.

Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, John Kani, and Beyoncé will reprise their roles from the previous film, and they’ll be joined by Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Tiffany Boone, Mads Mikkelsen, Thandiwe Newton, Lennie James, and Blue Ivy Carter in her feature film debut.

Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins directed Mufasa, while Jeff Nathanson wrote the script. Lin-Manuel Miranda has been tapped to write the songs, and he said he’s humbled to be a part of the incredible musical legacy of this beloved franchise.

The Lion King’ has an incredible musical legacy with music from some of the greatest songwriters around… It’s been a joy working alongside Barry Jenkins to bring Mufasa’s story to life, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience this film in theaters,” said Miranda in a statement.

Mufasa: The Lion King is eying the Christmas release date, and it will arrive in theatres on December 20.

The toxic relationship between Joker and Harley Quinn will be at the heart of Joker: Folie à Deux and the first glimpse of this film is finally here. Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga dance like no one is watching in the first trailer for the Joker sequel, which perfectly captures their bad romance.

The new Joker movie borrows its title from the French term “folie à deux”, meaning “folly of two”, and it’s truly a perfect fit. This term is often used to describe the shared psychosis that we see Arthur Fleck and Harley Quinn develop during their times as inmates at Arkham Asylum.

The new trailer confirms that Joker: Folie à Deux will go down the musical route, and it features several impressive dance numbers. One of them is choreographed to “What the World Needs Now (Is Love Sweet Love)”, but the entire film will feature at least 15 renditions of well-known songs, according to Variety.

Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga will be joined by an impressive group of supporting players, including Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, Steve Coogan, Ken Leung, Harry Lawtey, and Zazie Beetz. Todd Phillips returned to direct the sequel, which will hit the silver screen on October 4.

The Crown ended its run after six seasons this past year, and it’s getting credit where credit is due. The BAFTA TV Awards nominations are in, and Netflix’s royal drama is leading the way with eight nods, closely followed by the anthology series Black Mirror with seven.

The Crown owes most of its nominations to its amazing cast, with Dominic West, Elizabeth Debecki, Lesley Manville, and Salim Daw all receiving nominations in their respective categories. It also received nods for several craft awards, including costume design, makeup and hair design, sound, and special, visual, and graphic effects.

Despite topping the list of nominees, the final season of The Crown failed to receive a nod for the best drama series. The Gold, Happy Valley, Slow Horses, and Top Boy made the cut instead.

Avatar: The Last Airbender took us on quite a journey in its first season, and there’s more where that came from! Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the hit anime series will be back for two more installments, but Season 3 will also mark its final chapter.

Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place in a world divided into four nations, whose harmony was destroyed after the Fire Nation chose to rebel against the status quo. It’s now up to the twelve-year-old Aang to restore the balance between the nations and fulfill his destiny as the next Avatar, who has the power to control all four elements.

Gordon Cormier led The Last Airbender cast as Aang, and he was joined by Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, Dallas Liu as Prince Zuko, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Uncle Iroh, Ken Leung as Commander Zhao, and Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai.

The quick renewal of this live-action anime doesn’t come as a shocker, since it attracted 21.2 million viewers and 154.4 million hours watched during its debut week to top Netflix’s global TV chart. The streamer renewed it for two more seasons, but they’re also planning to conclude this story with Season 3, sticking to the formula that proved successful with the original anime series.

The Gotham Film Awards will celebrate the best independent movies of the past year in New York this December, and we finally know who’s in the running for this award. Sean Baker’s Anora is leading the list of contenders with a total of four nominations, including best feature.

It was clear that Anora was destined for great things after it won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and it’s living up to the hype. It will enter this year’s Gotham Film Awards as one of the main contenders for best feature, along with Halina Reijn’s Babygirl, Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, Aaron Schimberg’s A Different Man, and RaMell Ross’s Nickel Boys.

Mikey Madison is the breakout star of this film, and she received a nod for outstanding lead performance for her titular role in Anora. This category includes some of Hollywood’s biggest names, starting with Pamela Anderson for The Last Showgirl, Adrien Brody for The Brutalist, Nicole Kidman for Babygirl, and Demi Moore for The Substance.

Anora is also in the running in two more major categories – best director for Sean Baker and outstanding supporting performance for Yura Borisov. This brings its total of nominations to four, while I Saw the TV Glow and Nickel Boys are in the running for three each.

The 2024 Gotham Film Awards will return to the Cipriani Wall Street in New York on December 2.

There are two things we can expect from each season of Black Mirror—to be super-disturbing and attract an A-list cast. Season 7 will be no different, and its star-studded ensemble will include the likes Issa Rae, Awkwafina, Emma Corrin, and Rashida Jones.

In addition to Rae (Insecure), Awkwafina (The Farewell), Corrin (The Crown), and Jones (Parks and Recreation), Season 7 attracted many more acclaimed actors including Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers), Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who), Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish), and Chris O’Dowd (The Big Door Prize).

It will also star Patsy Ferran (Life After Life), Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy), Osy Ikhile (Citadel), Siena Kelly (Adult Material), Rosy McEwen (The Alienist), Harriet Walter (Succession), and Paul G. Raymond (Horrible Histories).

In addition to many newcomers, Season 7 will bring back several familiar faces. Billy Magnussen, Jimmi Simpson, Cristin Milioti, and Milanka Brooks will return for the sequel of the acclaimed episode USS Callister, which won an Emmy Award for outstanding television movie back in 2018.

Black Mirror will return for six new episodes sometime in 2025, and creator Charlie Brooker promised a mix of genres and styles, with stories ranging from deeply unpleasant to quite funny and emotional, during Netflix’s Geeked Week.

Season 4 of Bridgerton is slowly taking shape, and we finally know who’ll play Benedict’s love story in the next chapter of this story. Yerin Ha has been tapped to portray Sophie Beckett, the mysterious Lady in Silver who managed to snatch Benedict’s heart.

After three seasons on the sidelines, Benedict will finally get a chance to look for his true love match in the upcoming fourth season. After years of refusing to settle down, he’ll finally change his tune once he runs into the captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.

Bridgerton showrunner Jess Brownell told Tudum that it took time to get to Benedict’s story because “it felt important for him to explore the fullness of himself before he settles down” because “he is someone who has big appetites.”

Luke Thompson is coming back to lead the fourth season of Bridgerton, and Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Claudia Jessie, Nicola Coughlin, Luke Newton, Golda Rosheuvel, Adjoa Andoh, Ruth Gemmell, and Hannah Dodd are expected to join him.

Yerin Ha is the latest addition to the cast as Sophie Beckett, the daughter of an earl and one of his maids, who was never accepted as her father’s legitimate child. She rose to prominence with the role in the Paramount+ series Halo, and will next star in HBO’s Dune: Prophecy.

The Boys has taken us on quite a journey since its premiere five years ago, but Butcher and Homelander will soon reach the end of the road. Eric Kripke, who created this series for Amazon Prime Video, said that the upcoming Season 5 will be its final chapter.

Based on the comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys chronicled the endless push-and-pull between the team of corrupt superheroes known as The Seven and the rivaling group of vigilantes The Boys, trying to expose them for who they truly are.

This series will come back for its fourth season on June 13, and its creator Eric Kripke celebrated its return by taking to social media to announce that Season 5 will serve as its “gory, epic, emotional climax.”

The Boys could’ve easily gone on for many more years since it’s one of Prime Video’s biggest hits, but the streaming giant eventually gave Kripke the green light to wrap it up after five seasons.

“It took a minute for Amazon to agree, it took another minute to get them to clear it in all the channels so that we could finally announce it… I give them all the credit in the world and I’m so grateful for them to let me end this story on my terms. That’s obviously really rare,” he told Variety.

The beloved Broadway musical Wicked is coming to our big screens this fall, and we finally know what to expect from this adaptation. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande lead the new trailer as two young witches who are destined to shape the future of the Land of Oz.

The new Wicked trailer asks the question “Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?” – and it’s up to young witches Elphaba and Glinda to give us the answer.

Elphaba is a social pariah when she arrives at Shiz University, where her unusual green skin sets her apart from her peers. She forges an unlikely friendship with privileged and popular Glinda, but their relationship reaches a crossroads when they meet the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, setting in motion a chain of events that will have unexpected and shocking consequences for their future.

New trailer offers snippets of new versions of “Popular” and “Defying Gravity”, two of the most popular songs from the original Broadway hit. In addition to Erivo and Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, and Bowen Yang also appear in the trailer.

Wicked is scheduled to be released on November 27, while its sequel will hit the theaters exactly a year later.

The Lion King remake created quite a splash when it hit the theaters five years ago, and its prequel is on the way. Mufasa: The Lion King is coming our way just in time for Christmas, and Disney finally shared its first trailer with the world.

Mufasa: The Lion King will chronicle the origin story of Mufasa, one of the greatest kings of the Pride Lands. He was once an orphaned cup with nowhere to turn, before meeting a sympathetic lion Taka, and embarking on an expansive journey with an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny.

Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, John Kani, and Beyoncé will reprise their roles from the previous film, and they’ll be joined by Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Tiffany Boone, Mads Mikkelsen, Thandiwe Newton, Lennie James, and Blue Ivy Carter in her feature film debut.

Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins directed Mufasa, while Jeff Nathanson wrote the script. Lin-Manuel Miranda has been tapped to write the songs, and he said he’s humbled to be a part of the incredible musical legacy of this beloved franchise.

The Lion King’ has an incredible musical legacy with music from some of the greatest songwriters around… It’s been a joy working alongside Barry Jenkins to bring Mufasa’s story to life, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience this film in theaters,” said Miranda in a statement.

Mufasa: The Lion King is eying the Christmas release date, and it will arrive in theatres on December 20.

The toxic relationship between Joker and Harley Quinn will be at the heart of Joker: Folie à Deux and the first glimpse of this film is finally here. Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga dance like no one is watching in the first trailer for the Joker sequel, which perfectly captures their bad romance.

The new Joker movie borrows its title from the French term “folie à deux”, meaning “folly of two”, and it’s truly a perfect fit. This term is often used to describe the shared psychosis that we see Arthur Fleck and Harley Quinn develop during their times as inmates at Arkham Asylum.

The new trailer confirms that Joker: Folie à Deux will go down the musical route, and it features several impressive dance numbers. One of them is choreographed to “What the World Needs Now (Is Love Sweet Love)”, but the entire film will feature at least 15 renditions of well-known songs, according to Variety.

Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga will be joined by an impressive group of supporting players, including Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, Steve Coogan, Ken Leung, Harry Lawtey, and Zazie Beetz. Todd Phillips returned to direct the sequel, which will hit the silver screen on October 4.

The Crown ended its run after six seasons this past year, and it’s getting credit where credit is due. The BAFTA TV Awards nominations are in, and Netflix’s royal drama is leading the way with eight nods, closely followed by the anthology series Black Mirror with seven.

The Crown owes most of its nominations to its amazing cast, with Dominic West, Elizabeth Debecki, Lesley Manville, and Salim Daw all receiving nominations in their respective categories. It also received nods for several craft awards, including costume design, makeup and hair design, sound, and special, visual, and graphic effects.

Despite topping the list of nominees, the final season of The Crown failed to receive a nod for the best drama series. The Gold, Happy Valley, Slow Horses, and Top Boy made the cut instead.

The latest season of Black Mirror added seven more nominations for Netflix with the episode “Demon 79”. It’s been nominated for the best limited drama, while its star Anjana Vasan scored a nod for the best leading actress. Black Mirror secured the rest of its five nods in the craft field.

The 2024 British Academy Television Awards will return to the Royal Festival Hall in London on May 12, and the host is yet to be announced.

Avatar: The Last Airbender took us on quite a journey in its first season, and there’s more where that came from! Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the hit anime series will be back for two more installments, but Season 3 will also mark its final chapter.

Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place in a world divided into four nations, whose harmony was destroyed after the Fire Nation chose to rebel against the status quo. It’s now up to the twelve-year-old Aang to restore the balance between the nations and fulfill his destiny as the next Avatar, who has the power to control all four elements.

Gordon Cormier led The Last Airbender cast as Aang, and he was joined by Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, Dallas Liu as Prince Zuko, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Uncle Iroh, Ken Leung as Commander Zhao, and Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai.

The quick renewal of this live-action anime doesn’t come as a shocker, since it attracted 21.2 million viewers and 154.4 million hours watched during its debut week to top Netflix’s global TV chart. The streamer renewed it for two more seasons, but they’re also planning to conclude this story with Season 3, sticking to the formula that proved successful with the original anime series.
