Tom Holland will soon be swinging into the Marvel Cinematic Universe again to do something neither Tobey Maguire nor Andrew Garfield got the chance to do – a fourth Spider-Man film. As we wait to see what the team comes up with this time around, we have to agree that Tom Holland has come a long way in his career. Even though he had dipped his toes into the film industry before, he gained worldwide fame thanks to his appearance as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War. It was only onward and upwards from there.

Like the original Avatar: The Last Airbender before it, the anime-style cartoon The Legend of Korra has some truly spectacular episodes in its run. Some episodes of these shows are just setup or borderline filler episode, with "Remembrances" being a clip show episode in The Legend of Korra, but some episodes are first-rate entertainment from beginning to end. Those are the episodes that fans remember the most, packing all kinds of action, plot twists, drama, and comedy into just 20 minutes or so.

The very best The Legend of Korra episodes are strong in each of their scenes, and a few of them are one huge scene focusing on a single conflict, such as endgame boss battles against Avatar Korra's worst enemies. These episodes are the highlight of each season and move the plot forward in explosive ways, which also make them the best episodes for rewatching if fans are feeling nostalgic.

On Sunday we are celebrating the winners of the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, the second time this year after January’s strike-delayed 75th Emmys, but we know the results will be, at least in part, quite different (well maybe not for The Bear). So here is my stab at predicting just who those winners will be.

Outstanding Drama Series

With only The Crown returning from the lineup here just eight months ago, what might have been a fresh, wide open race now seems utterly predictable in terms of a runaway winner. After already setting a record for a single season series with 14 wins at last weekend’s Creative Arts ceremonies, FX’s Shōgun with 25 nominations overall to lead this year’s list of nominees will certainly prevail here, proof that FX’s last minute move from Limited Series to Drama Series will pay off big time.

The Winner: SHŌGUN...

Exclusive: In a competitive situation, Colombia Pictures has acquired the rights to Teddy Wayne’s upcoming dark thriller, The Winner which Amy Pascal has come aboard to produce through her Pascal Pictures with Rachel O’Connor.

Wayne is adapting his own tome for the big screen. The novel hits shelves on May 28 from Harper Collins.

The Winner follows law school graduate Conor, who takes a job as a tennis pro in a gated community near Cape Cod, only to find himself torn between an arrangement with a sharp tongue divorcée and falling in love with her outspoken daughter. He manages to find a way through this tangled web until he makes one irreversible mistake.

Wayne is the author of the novels The Great Man Theory, Apartment, Loner, The Love Song of Jonny Valentine and Kapitoil. He is the winner of a Whiting Writers’ Award and an Nea Creative Writing Fellowship as...

Zach Galifianakis is the latest big name to join the cast of Only Murders In The Building for Hulu murder comedy’s upcoming fourth season.

Galifianakis joins stars/executive producers Steve Martin, who also co-created the hit series, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as well as new recurring players Molly Shannon, Eva Longoria and Eugene Levy and returning Meryl Streep.

All new characters will be integral to the twists and turns of the investigation into the murder of Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), Charles-Haden Savage’s (Martin) stunt double from his years on the series Brazzos and its 2020 revival.

Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich revealed in a recent Deadline interview that the Only Murders In the Building trio, Charles, Oliver (Short) and Mabel (Gomez), will kick off the new season with a trip to Los Angeles before returning to The Arconia in their search of Sazz’s killer.

In news that is sure to move waves in Spain, Portugal and beyond, former Netflix exec Juan Mayne, a name inextricably linked to the build of Spain as a global film-tv power, has been appointed as SkyShowtime regional content director for Iberia, encompassing Spain and Portugal.

SkyShowtime in Spain and Portugal will be led, moreover, by one of Spain’s best known, connected and personable of TV execs, supercharging its operation in Spain from the get-go.

Mayne will report to the Amsterdam-based Kai Finke, himself appointed in September as chief content officer at the Comcast-Paramount joint venture SVOD platform , which focuses on European audiences.

Among them are shows from its three regions of the Nordics, Iberia and Central and Eastern Europe. The streamer, which serves a total of 22 markets, described that as “a staggering and nearly unheard of accomplishment for a service that is less than one year old.”

Among others, SkyShowtime will later this year debut Codename: Annika, its first original from the Nordics. The Finnish-Swedish production, which previously had the working title ID, was part of a deal the streamer struck early this year with Warner Bros. Discovery...

SkyShowtime CEO Monty Sarhan led a market keynote at Cannes this afternoon, during which he shared the streamer’s forthcoming slate, including a series of original European-produced shows set to hit the streamer this year and into 2024.

The announced productions span Europe. In the Nordics, the streamer will debut Codename: Annika, its first original in the region.

SkyShowtime has struck its first major content deal, picking up exclusive rights to 21 HBO Max Europe originals.

The move from the Comcast/Paramount Jv comes after HBO Max pulled commissioning from the majority of European territories and removed originals from its platform, which left numerous scripted shows up for grabs. Following Warner Bros and Discovery’s merger, the window for HBO to benefit from this content has now passed, although the newly-merged Wbd has stressed it remains committed to European content.

SkyShowtime, which launched recently in 12 markets in which Paramount+ and Comcast-owned Peacock aren’t active, has picked up critically-acclaimed shows including Norway’s Beforeigners, Sweden’s Lust and Denmark’s Kamikaze.

Shows that were yet to air include Finland and Sweden’s ID, Czechia and Slovakia’s The Winner and Poland’s Warszawjanka.

All in all, SkyShowtime has picked up 168 episodes of original scripted, a big boost to a...

Television, film, and video games composer Daniel Licht, best known for his work on Showtime’s “Dexter,” died late Wednesday following a battle with cancer. He was 60. Originally from Detroit, Licht’s first major work was scoring the 1991 horror film “Children of the Night.” His compositions caught the attention of Clive Barker, who tapped Licht to score “Hellraiser: Bloodline.” Licht scored numerous horror films but also forayed into more mainstream fare like the Ben Stiller film “Permanent Midnight,” and indies like “The Winner” and “Cowboy Up.” Licht’s work on “Dexter” was well regarded, and each season’s soundtrack was released for sale.
