“Act Your Age” earns another win for Alyson Fouse and Bounce TV.

The sitcom starring Kym Whitley, Tisha Campbell, and Yvette Nicole Brown opened to an audience of 2.14 million total viewers with its two-episode back-to-back premiere on March 4 on Bounce TV, according to figures from Nielsen. Thus, making it the most-watched half-hour series launch in Bounce history.

The initial airing was also pushed with a special presentation on Bounce’s sister network, Ion.

“It’s the storytelling. It’s wonderful and I think there needs to be something said about how it really well represents black women in America today. That’s a real breath of fresh air,” said executive producer and David Hudson. “It’s fun, it’s funny, it’s engaging, it’s reflective. I think it has real broad appeal for a lot of women, men as well.”

Hudson adds: “Straight off the bat as we started...

Vieira, who joined the Spa council in 2019, said she was pleased to have the opportunity to work closely with members of the organisation, as well as with CEO Matthew Deaner and the rest of his team.

As a self-professed “comic book person” and “genre head”, Ryan Griffen is blown away to have the voice of Batman – Kevin Conroy – attached for his upcoming project, Lustration VR.

Commissioned by Facebook Reality Lab’s Media Studios for Oculus TV, the 4×6 minute animated virtual series created by Griffen will take audiences to ‘The Between’, a world after death.

Based on the writer-director’s graphic novel series of the same name, it centres on Bardolph (Conroy) and Gallus, two protectors of the afterlife, upholding good against evil by removing those who do not belong.

Shakira Clanton.

However, when they miss removing someone, they begin to uncover the truth about The Between; that it is run like an elite country club, with the powers-that-be picking and choosing who gets eternal happiness and who doesn’t.

Each episode is told from a different character’s perspective and has the potential to be experienced from different vantage points.

Start Beyond co-founder and COO Nathan Anderson has spun out the company’s entertainment division into independent venture New Canvas.

Based out of the Northern Rivers, Anderson will serve as CEO and executive producer of the VR entertainment studio, bringing with him Start Beyond’s existing slate. This includes Awake Episode One, Wentworth VR, Atlas Obscura VR and VR Noir, as well as projects in development.

Anderson remains a shareholder in Start Beyond (formerly Start VR), but tells If that since the company was launched in 2015, the VR landscape has changed quite dramatically, with various use cases emerging for the technology. As such, the business has evolved and matured.

Going forward, Start Beyond will have a particular emphasis on corporate, Hr and training, and education uses for VR, while New Canvas will instead be focused solely on entertainment.

“New Canvas has always existed within the business, although it didn’t...

Leticia Caceres.

Director Leticia Caceres has been announced as the second artist-in-residence at Start Vr, following on from Cleverman creator Ryan Griffen, who continues to develop projects with the company.

A former associate director at the Melbourne Theatre Company (Mtc), Caceres will develop one of her high profile theatre projects with Start Vr.

“The project is part musical-confession, part exploration of theoretical physics, a meditation on art, mortality and transcendence, and the opportunity to shape this experience in a virtual space has me very excited,” said Caceres.

Ryan Griffen’s ‘Lustration’.

“Having worked with incredibly talented creatives across stage and screen, I’m now very excited by the prospect of creating a spatially complex performance space that is fragile and elusive, reminiscent of a half-remembered, and in a half-imagined dreamscape of an existential crisis.”

Start Vr’s Artist Residency Program was conceived by principals Nathan Anderson and Martin Taylor in...

Turns out, Netflix isn't All About the Washingtons. Deadline reports the streaming service has cancelled the TV show after one season.

The family sitcom centers on Joey (Joseph Simmons) and Justine Washington (Justine Simmons). After Joey retires from his storied hip-hop career, Justine decides it is time to spread her own professional wings. The cast also includes Kiana Ledé, Nathan Anderson, Leah Rose Randall, and Maceo Smedley.

Netflix has canceled “All About the Washingtons.”

The scripted comedy starred Joseph Simmons — Rev. Run of Run-D.M.C. — and real-life wife Justine Simmons playing fictionalized versions of themselves raising a family of four kids. After Joey decides to retire from a long career as hip-hop royalty, his wife Justine takes advantage of the opportunity to pursue a career of her own now that Joey is available to focus on raising the kids and keeping the house in order. The couple’s kids are portrayed by rising stars Kiana Ledé, Nathan Anderson, Leah Rose Randall and Maceo Smedley.

“All About the Washingtons,” the first season of which premiered Aug. 10, was originally developed by ABC Studios and Amblin Television for the ABC television network. ABC passed on the show, which went on to land a series order from Netflix. Executive producers on the series were Joseph Simmons, Justine Simmons, Michael Lehman, Darryl Frank,...

Netflix has opted not to renew for a second season All About the Washingtons, its multi-camera comedy series starring Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons & Justine Simmons. The decision comes two months after the release of the series’ 10-episode first season, which didn’t seem to get a lot of traction.

Created by Jeremy Bronson (The Mayor), ​All About The Washingtons had a twisty road to the screen. The pitch originally landed at ABC in fall 2016 with a put pilot commitment. It did not get a pilot order, but, believing in the concept and the talent, producing companies Amblin TV and ABC Studios pulled together resources and used the penalty money to finance a pilot presentation. The presentation was well received by ABC brass but the broadcast network only picked up three new comedy series that year, including Bronson’s The Mayor, and got out of the multi-camera comedy business all together.

How well are Joey and Justine Washington adapting to their new roles, during the first season of the All About the Washingtons TV show on Netflix? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV series like All About the Washingtons is cancelled or renewed for season two. Netflix and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. If you've been watching, we'd love to know how you feel about the season one episodes of All About the Washingtons below.

Aftrs CEO Neil Peplow.

Aftrs' new five-year strategy was shaped by what the school calls the most comprehensive and up-to-date national industry skills survey ever undertaken. The report was supplied by Screen Audience Research Australia (Sara) who undertook nationwide research, consulting with more than 500 Australian practitioners.

The survey found skills gaps in the areas of screen business, new technologies, and script coverage, among others. Sara CEO Peter Drinkwater pointed out that "the industry is rapidly changing: tighter budgets and greater time pressures mean less acceptance of failure.

An unexplained series of events occur on a Vegas tram; unexplained until the CSIs are on the case, that is. Nick (George Eads) returns from Hawaii after a seminar to find the joke's on him. The new boss, Db Russell (Ted Danson) lies on the tram floor and Nick thinks he's just a Db, which he is. Db by name, but not a real Db! Nick's reaction to his name, his initials is exactly what I thought when it was revealed who Ted was going to play in the show. Db as many know stands for 'dead body.' The others can only laugh and disappear. Nick isn't too happy to be the butt of their joke and he and Db don't really seem to hit it off - not like Nick and Ray (Laurence Fishburne). Two people were killed on the tram and three were injured. One Vic, Tom (Nathan Anderson) was stabbed.

John Michael Higgins on Happily Divorced (with Nathan Anderson)

Whether it’s his film work on those hilarious Christopher Guest productions like Best In Show, television work as David Letterman in the bio-pic The Late Show or The Good Wife or originating the title role in the off-Broadway production of Paul Rudnick’s Jeffrey, John Michael Higgins is one of those actors you’ve seen in just about every medium imaginable and, more times than not, he’s playing a gay character.
