Roseanne Barr is actively working on her return to television. The Emmy Award-winning comedian — who was let go from the Roseanne revival after making a controversial tweet about Barack Obama's aide Valerie Jarrett — is developing a four to six-episode series that she'll soon start shopping around to networks. The untitled series, which Barr wrote alongside Roseanne producer Allan Stephan, will center on an Alabama farmer who wants to "save America with guns, the Bible, petty crime, and alcoholism."

Per an exclusive report from Variety, Barr described the upcoming project as a "cross between The Roseanne Show and The Sopranos." The central character, who grows and sells drugs like cannabis and magic mushrooms, will save "the United States from drug gangs and China."

She went on to explain the series in more detail, adding that:

"It's silly and out there. [It will contain] very offensive ideas and a lot of swearing. I live...

Exclusive: Swedish director Amir Chamdin, whose drama Partisan won Best Series at the 2020 Canneseries market, has signed on to direct Corleone, an action-thriller set in the United States and Sicily.

Written by Sandro Lorino, Rich Ronat and Nate Adams, the film is based on a story by Sandro Lorino and and Antonio Lorino, and tells the story of a family man with a mysterious past, whose peaceful life is upended when he becomes entangled in a deathly cat-and-mouse game with the first female boss of the Cosa Nostra.

Production is being lined up for March, with casting currently underway. The film is being produced by Richard Salvatore (Stolen Girl), Nate Adams (Vanquish), and Sandro Lorino and Norbert Krott for Lorino Pictures. Executive producers include Fabio Costabile (Skincare) and Dirk Schweitzer (Operation Napoleon).

Chamdin most recently directed ballet Gustavia, which premiered at the Royal Opera House in Stockholm this past October.

Earlier this month, a new satirical comedy launched in theaters, and despite its box office success and high audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it has not been receiving many critical reviews. The film, directed by Justin Folk, and starring the right-wing political commentator, Matt Walsh, has been described by many, including Walsh himself, as a documentary. However, some aspects of the film, as well as recent revelations from those involved, suggest otherwise.

Am I Racist? was created by the conservative media company, The Daily Wire, notorious for producing The Ben Shapiro Show, and Mr. Birchum. To some, it was a piece of political media put out to highlight perceived criticisms of Dei, and others simply saw it as a funny film. This is where some of the confusion arises since its comedic elements seem to represent Am I Racist? as a mockumentary, similar to films such as Borat or Drop Dead Gorgeous.

“Mr. Birchum” is a new animated sitcom, starring Adam Carolla, Megyn Kelly, Alonzo Bodden, Kyle Dunnigan, Jay Mohr, Tyler Fischer, Brett Cooper, Patrick Warburton, Rob Riggle, Sage Steele, Danny Trejo, Roseanne Barr and Fatimah Taliah, now playing on The Daily Wire:

“…the series chronicles the lives of the ‘Birchum’ family, consisting of ‘Richard Birchum’, ‘Wendi Birchum’, ‘Eddie Birchum’ and ‘Jeanie Birchum’…

“…with each episode a ‘social commentary’ and the consequences that come with it as Richard attempts to keep life in his hometown simple…”
