That’s a wrap on “The Franchise” at HBO.

The comedy series about the making of a big-budget superhero movie, created by John Brown and executive produced by Armando Iannucci and Sam Mendes, has been canceled after one season at HBO. The series followed the production of a film that is part of a larger franchise, centered around first assistant director Daniel (Himesh Patel).

“We’re so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the tremendously talented team behind ‘The Franchise,’ especially Sam Mendes, Jon Brown, Armando Iannucci, and this hilarious ensemble of actors,” an HBO spokesperson said in a satement to TheWrap. “While we won’t be moving forward with another season, we look forward to collaborating with all of them in the future.”

The eight-episode comedy did not resonate with audiences, failing to crack the Nielsen streaming top 10 lists throughout its run. It aired its Season 1 finale on Nov.

On Friday November 29 2024, A&e broadcasts The First 48: Tracking a Killer!

With the Western genre having made a remarkable comeback on television in recent years, there's a new and much wider selection of shows to choose from. Several of these Western series have also managed to convince numerous renowned A-list film talent to make their way to the small screen. 2020 may have been a hard year for the entertainment industry, but thanks to Showtime, along with four-time Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke, the seven-episode run of The Good Lord Bird was able to further contribute to the genre's re-emergence. Based on the novel of the same name by James McBride, it isn't just any kind of Western, it's one that's inspired by actual historical events and has something meaningful to say about American history and race.

While the miniseries continues to be mostly overlooked by television audiences, it received high amounts of acclaim, even garnering a Golden Globe and Emmy nomination. It's one of those Westerns that,...

Well, here's news you don't see every day.

Director Scott Derrickson and screenwriter C. Robert Cargill, the same horror filmmaking duo that gave us "Sinister" (read /Film's oral history here) and "The Black Phone," have confirmed their next project: "The Night of the Hunter," adapted from the 1953 novel by Davis Grubb. The project is being developed at Universal.

"The Night of the Hunter" follows Harry Powell, a faux-preacher, and misogynistic serial killer, in the 1930s Ohio River Valley. After Powell is arrested for stealing a car (from one of his brides-turned-victims), his cellmate is Ben Harper, who's on death row for armed robbery/homicide. Harper hid the stolen money in his daughter Pearl's doll, intending it to be her and his son John's birthright, and took that secret to his grave. Once Powell is walking free, however, he makes his way to the Harper family, seducing Ben's widow Willa so...

Ethan Hawke's portrayal of militant abolitionist John Brown in The Good Lord Bird is a quite impressive for several reasons. He is loud, commanding, and imbued with a sense of righteousness we haven't seen as much in Hawke's previous roles. The intensity of his performance stands apart from his most recent appearance as the kindly father in Netflix's Leave the World Behind, a more mellowed out, live-and-let-live character. He is as far as can be from the reserved yet deeply psychotic masked murderer he plays in The Black Phone, where his indifference to life and self-deluded hatred stand in marked contrast from the wild and deeply moral abolitionist in Showtime's Western series.

The First 48 debunks common TV crime drama stereotypes because it has a less procedural focus than most true crime series. Sergeant Dave Walker and Lieutenant Brandon Watkins demonstrate different leadership styles that have each contributed to the success and growth of Tulsa Homicide. Walker and Watkins prove that their corresponding crime drama archetypes are outdated.

There are dozens of popular TV procedurals -- and then there's The First 48. Being a true crime series, the A&e show is obviously very different from the countless fictional versions of homicide detectives. Yet that difference is not just that one is scripted and the other one isn't. The First 48 has been able to highlight some of crime dramas' common tropes simply by raising awareness about how homicide really works. One of the most noticeable is the one that Tulsa Homicide supervisors Sergeant Dave Walker and Lieutenant Brandon Watkins regularly put to shame.

Ethan Hawke. That’s it. That’s the review.

No, no, no. Allow me to start over.

Ethan Hawke and Devery Jacobs. That’s it. That’s the review.

I started with Hawke not as a slight on Jacobs, who both starred in and wrote “Elora’s Dad.” It’s just that we have close to three full seasons of seeing her play this role, and we’ve seen...

Every comic book hero has an origin story. The First 48 utilizes a similar idea through the long relationships it's forged with certain police departments, particularly Tulsa Police Homicide. In their appearances on the A&e true crime series, both Chase Calhoun and Max Ryden have given TV viewers insight into how someone gets to be a homicide detective -- and made the general public more aware of what happens once someone gets there.

Most TV audiences understand that homicide is considered the pinnacle of detective work. However, far fewer grasp what it takes for a police officer to advance to the homicide unit. Even less understand the growth process that continues past that point. Thanks to having been in Tulsa for so long and having detectives within Tulsa Homicide who are willing to open up to camera, The First 48 better contextualizes the meaning of being a homicide detective by showing how...

It’s a rainy day in New York City, and Maya Hawke is telling me about her short-lived attempt to call her father ‘Ethan’ on the set of their new film, “Wildcat.” We’re escaping the downpour at a cozy neighborhood restaurant in Chelsea, and sitting across from the striking father-daughter duo is like having a front-row seat to the royal family of art-house cinema.

“I started using his name — ‘Ethan’ — to be like, ‘I’m a professional,’” the 25-year-old “Stranger Things” actress says. “And then I realized it was actually more distracting to people. They’d be like, ‘Why are you doing that?’ So I mostly called him ‘Dad.’”

Such is life when you’re a Gen Z “It” girl whose father is a Gen X icon. But there’s very little celebrity polish to the pair when we meet in the dog days of August. Maya, who has...

Caitriona Balfe in ‘Outlander’ season 7 episode 8 (Photo Credit: Starz)

Starz’s Outlander season seven episode eight – the mid-season finale – opens with Jamie (Sam Heughan) still unconscious on the battlefield. A mother and her son are stealing items off the dead when Jamie coughs. Claire (Caitriona Balfe) arrives just in time to stop the thieves from slitting Jamie’s throat, holding them off by grabbing a sword and threatening to kill them if they don’t back off.

Don’t mess with badass Claire in full protective mode!

Claire berates her husband for getting injured in hand-to-hand combat. He’s a sniper and not supposed to be in the thick of the fight, and Claire calls him a “vainglorious, pig-headed, grandstanding Scot.” The only word Jamie takes exception to is grandstanding.

Claire admits he scared her, and Jamie thanks the love of his life for saving him again.

The lengthy relationship A&e's The First 48 has with the Tulsa Police Department has enabled the series to explore aspects of law enforcement that no other true crime show has covered. Tulsa deserves credit for helping to expand the public's view on policing, and that principally comes from the conduct and personality of their detectives. There's no shortage of experienced officers being shown on TV -- it's how Tulsa Homicide does their jobs and who they are as people that makes them the class of a crowded field.

One of the angles that Tulsa has given viewers insight into is the long-term realities of policing. Scripted procedurals and unscripted series alike have painted an idea of the veteran cop as a cynical, world-weary officer either detached from or worn down by the job. They're dour, they're predictable and they're just not that interesting. But that's not the case with Tulsa...

Westerns have a rich history in television that date all the way back to when the devices first became popular in America. There have been many beloved interpretations of this mythic genre, whether it's an old classic like Gunsmoke, the grit and grime of Deadwood, or more modern takes like in Yellowstone. No matter what it is, cowboys and gunslingers have always found a home on the small screen.

Another exceptional Western series that has been released within the last few years is The Good Lord Bird. Adapted from the book of the same name, it tells the embellished story of the controversial historical figure John Brown from the perspective of an escaped slave boy, which shows the events that would lead to John Brown's eventual downfall. Despite being met with great critical acclaim, the series has been criminally neglected and may be lost to time before long. Here are...

You probably know more about Ronald Reagan from U.S. History than Film Studies. Make no mistake. Before Reagan ever ran for office, he was an actor. The 40th U.S. president started his entertainment career as "Dutch" Reagan, a radio sports announcer in Des Moines, Iowa. Reagan honed his storytelling chops by recreating Chicago Cubs games with nothing but a slip sent to him by telegraph. The 26-year-old dreamed of big-screen stardom, so he joined the Cubs for spring training in Southern California — to snag a screen test with Warner Brothers. The WB studio suits liked what they saw, and film actor Ronald Reagan was born.

While Reagan had a better Hollywood career than most, he never became a bonafide movie star. Throughout Reagan's political career, opponents and detractors slandered him as a "B-movie actor." However, Reagan was a B-movie actor. No, he wasn't starring in the 1940s equivalent...
