Deadline reports that Waititi is set to direct a horror-comedy series for Showtime. The Auteur is based on a graphic novel by Rick Spears, James Callahan, and Luigi Anderson. It will be written by Waititi alongside Peter Warren and is described as a “gonzo horror-comedy, a twisted romance and a glamorous, high wire act of biting satire.”

The series will star Jude Law and will follow a movie producer who, while trying to make a horror movie, ends up trapping his production on a back lot with a serial killer. Law will also executive produce the series alongside Waititi, Warren, Eric Gitter, Rick Spears, James Callahan, and Dan Halsted.

Amy Israel, Executive Vice President of Scripted Programming at Showtime, said in a press release for the series that “The Auteur unites the wildly imaginative filmmaker Taika Waititi and the barbed wit of Peter Warren with the undeniable Jude Law in a bloody love letter to the movies that will make you simultaneously die laughing and want to run for your life.”

The clip sees Mandy Patinkin’s Saul working as a national security advisor for the newly installed President Warner seeking the help of his protégé, Carrie (Claire Danes).

“I need Carrie in Kabul for a week off or two” he says “right away” to which she responds “hell yes.”

But after someone tells him “you have a traitor in your camp,” could it be Carrie? Could she have turned during her time in confinement? Did she conspire with her captors in that Russian gulag? 

“I believe you…no one else will,” Saul tells Carrie.

After a two year hiatus, it’s time to question everyone, in Season 5 of Homeland which debuts February 9, 2020.

The How to Get Away With Murder is going to the White House. Davis has been tapped to portray former First Lady Michelle Obama. 

The drama will give viewers insight into the personal and political lives of first ladies throughout history. The first season will focus on Obama, Eleanor Roosevelt and Betty Ford.

“In the East Wing of the White House, many of history’s most impactful and world changing decisions have been hidden from view, made by America’s charismatic, complex and dynamic First Ladies,” the logline says.

Davis took to Twitter, writing, “Proud to spotlight these brave, extraordinary women.”

Aaron Cooley will write the scripts and serve as executive producer alongside Davis. 

Casting for the roles of Roosevelt and Ford has yet to be announced.

Titled The L Word: Generation Q, the show will see the return of original stars Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, and Katherine Moenig, reprising their roles of Bette, Alice, and Shane, respectively.

According to the official logline, the OG stars will be joined by a “new generation of self-possessed LGBTQIA characters experiencing love, heartbreak, sex, setbacks and success in Los Angeles.”

The L Word: Generation Q hails from creator Ilene Chaiken. She will also executive-produce alongside show-runner Marja-Lewis Ryan. 

“Marja has brought her unique and contemporary vision to The L Word and blended it beautifully into the fabric of Ilene’s groundbreaking series,” Showtime president Gary Levine said.

“This revered show was both entertaining and impactful when it originally ran on Showtime, and we are confident that our new version will do that and more in 2019.”
