Back in 1968, George A. Romero made his feature directorial debut with one of the greatest horror movies ever made, Night of the Living Dead – and while doing so, he also introduced the world to flesh-eating ghouls that became a new definition for the world “zombie.” Romero, who passed away in 2017, went on to make several more zombie movies over the decades… and recently, his daughter Tina Romero revealed that she’s making her own feature directorial debut with a zombie movie called Queens of the Dead. That movie had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last month – and won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Film there! Now, Deadline reports that it has secured North American distribution through Independent Film Company (formerly IFC) and the Shudder streaming service.

Exclusive: Independent Film Company (formerly IFC) and Shudder have acquired North American rights to the horror comedy Queens of the Dead from filmmaker Tina Romero, daughter of legendary “Godfather of Zombies” George A. Romero.

Paying tribute to the zombies from the elder Romero’s classic zombie films with a fresh, contemporary and queer twist, the film will be released in theaters this fall, after winning the Audience Award for Best Narrative Film in its Tribeca world premiere.

In Romero’s debut feature co-written with comedian Erin Judge, on which we were first to report last July, a zombie apocalypse breaks out in Brooklyn on the night of a giant warehouse party, where an eclectic group of drag queens, club kids, and frenemies must put aside their drama and use their unique skills to fight against the brain-thirsty, scrolling undead.

Queens of the Dead premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival this month.

“The zombie apocalypse is such a rich sandbox to play in when it comes to social commentary. I can’t be my dad’s daughter without making an attempt at saying something with zombies,” Romero tells EW. “I did want this to be a film in which I am paying homage to the world and the monster he created, but I’m also introducing my own voice.”

Romero continues, “It’s very much not a film he would make, but it is using his vocabulary and is playing by his rules. As far as the queer element,...

Liza Minnelli may already be an Egot recipient, but she’s about to add one more illustrious award to her mantle when “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 17 comes to an end later this month.

That’s because MTV just announced on Tuesday that RuPaul will be presenting the legendary entertainer with the ‘Giving Us Lifetime Achievement Award’ during the season finale on April 18.

Linda Lavin’s final role on television will be in “Mid-Century Modern” this Friday, so her co-stars and the sitcom creators made sure to honor the late star at their Hulu premiere on Tuesday.

“Linda Lavin was the most joyous, gracious, amazing person that you’d ever want to meet. She worked from the age of 5 to 87 and went out blazing like the star she was,” Nathan Lee Graham told TheWrap. “She truly was a pro at everything. This woman did everything: she could play the piano; she could sing; she could act, comedy, drama equally as well. She was a light. I call her the spiritual showrunner of our show. She’s the glue, she keeps us going. She’s the puppetmaster, she’s doing all of this tonight. So, she’s here.”

The Tony Award winner and Emmy-nominated actress died in December at age 87 from complications of lung cancer before Season 1 had wrapped.

Last week in Episode 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race, Arrietty took her leave from the chismosas corner out of anger toward her bestie Jewels Sparkles for seemingly taking a dig at her when deciding on the running order for the first ever "Villains Roast." As fate would have it, the two former besties were pitted against each other in the Lip Sync for Your Life as the bottom two. Jewels defeated Arrietty in that battle, sending the elf queen home for the second time, but without a Badonka Dunk tank to save her this time.

As one of the biggest contemporary interdisciplinary artists in the world, it's hard to remember a time when Ariana Grande wasn't a household name. In 2024 alone, she released seventh studio album "Eternal Sunshine" to a red hot commercial reception and solid reviews from critics, before turning in an Academy Award-worthy performance in the blockbuster Universal Pictures musical adaptation "Wicked," which is nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.

Grande's rise in popularity over the past decade has indeed been something to behold, given that she was once one of countless child stars struggling to break into the mainstream entertainment industry. After making her Broadway debut in the musical "13," this lifelong theater kid would find success on the Nickelodeon network before breaking out into a solo recording career that would turn her into a global icon virtually overnight. As we await the release of "Wicked: For Good," we've taken...

Exclusive: Cheyenne Jackson (American Horror Story), Olivia Rose Keegan (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), Tony Chung (Kung Fu) and Aaron Kingsley Adetola (A Thousand and One) are set to star alongside newcomers Toby Chau, Arkira Chantaratananond, and Ash Hurley in Chinese School, an indie coming-of-age comedy marking the first feature from writer-director William Kwok (I Was a Simple Man).

Set in present-day New York City, the film blends live-action, animation, and original songs to tell the story of Jacky (Chau), a Chinese American teen who grudgingly attends a Chinese language school every weekend with his longtime friend and bandmate Monica (Chantaratananond) — at least until he meets his dream girl: the blonde, all-American, devoted churchgoer, Abigail (Keegan). Jacky soon finds himself pulled in many directions, including on a reluctant journey of self-discovery and reflection.

Independently financed, the project is inspired by Kwok’s own coming-of-age experience. Kwok and Katherine Vondy...

Although Doctor Odyssey is still only in its first season, the new series has garnered a reputation for featuring at least one big-name guest star per episode, and one of them will surprisingly return in a future episode. The ABC medical drama TV show created by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken, follows the medical professionals aboard the fictional luxury cruise ship The Odyssey. Almost every week, the cruise hosts new passengers (and new illnesses and ailments to deal with). Most of them are played by actors many will recognize in Doctor Odyssey.

Doctor Odyssey season 1 is set to return with episode 9 on Thursday, March 6, 2025, at 9 pm Et on ABC. Season 1 of Ryan Murphy's new series will reportedly have 18 episodes.

Though it may seem like “The Masked Singer” only just began in the U.S. yesterday, the singing competition show has aired for 12 seasons. The show just crowned its Season 12 victor.

Joshua Jackson is “waging a one-man war” to greenlight a Broadway-themed episode for his hit ABC series “Doctor Odyssey.”

It’s not that Jackson, who executive produces and stars as Dr. Max Bankman, is particularly eager to sing — though he says coming up with little ditties has helped him learn the show’s complex medical jargon. Jackson is not really excited about dancing either: he and co-star Sean Teale (who plays nurse Tristan Silva) laugh, bemused, when the conversation during a special FYC screening of the show in Los Angeles turns to their dance-off (set to “Despacito”) in the pilot episode.

“We didn’t do a lot of dancing after that,” Jackson said, laughing. “I think they saw the dailies of me dancing and they thought, ‘That’s enough of that.’”

So why is Jackson so passionate about a Broadway episode? His reasoning: if you cast a veteran of the...

Broadway veteran Cheyenne Jackson was ready to take another break from musical theater as he had done once before. That is until he got an offer he couldn’t refuse.

“Oh, Mary!” director Sam Pinkleton wanted him for a starring role in a revival of the Tony Award-winning musical “La Cage aux Folles” at the Pasadena Playhouse.

“I had made the decision — about a week prior to getting the call from Sam — that I was going to take a long sabbatical from musical theater again,” says Jackson, also known by TV fans for his work on “Doctor Odyssey,” “Call Me Kat,” “American Horror Story” and “30 Rock.” “I had taken about a 10-year break before, and I was feeling like, ‘Ok, I’ve scratched that itch a lot.’ I just did ‘Once Upon a Mattress’ and ‘Into the Woods’ and I was done. I want to focus on writing. I...

Cheyenne Jackson is currently bringing his Broadway talents to the west coast in a new production of the musical La Cage Aux Folles!

The 49-year-old actor had support from his celeb friends at the opening night performance of the Pasadena Playhouse’s new production on Sunday (November 17) in Los Angeles.

Cheyenne is joined in the show by Broadway’s Kevin Cahoon, MadTV favorites Michael McDonald and Nicole Parker, Stranger Things‘ Shannon Purser, and more.

Stars in the audience on opening night included Phillipa Soo, Dylan Mulvaney, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson with husband Justin Mikita, among many others.

La Cage Aux Folles tells the “story of a flamboyant gay couple who must pretend to be straight for one night — with one of the men in drag — to dupe the conservative political family of their son’s fiancee.”

Get tickets now! The musical will run through December 15.

There are some more big guest stars in Doctor Odyssey season 1, episode 7. Take a look inside what to expect during “Gay Week.”

Of course, we need to talk about that shocking ending to episode 6. This love triangle isn’t really a love triangle after all. It’s more like a throuple, with Avery making it clear in the promo for episode 7 that while they said it would be a one-time thing, she doesn’t really want that to be the case.

With the way both men feel about her, it wouldn’t be surprising if they both said yes to the idea. However, will their feelings for Avery cause problems between the men? Or will they end up building a budding friendship between them?

The stars of 30 Rock are worth quite a bit!

While several cast members were already big stars before the show began in 2006, by the end of it’s seven season run, they were big, household names.

Tina Fey created and starred in the series, alongside Tracy Morgan, Jack McBrayer, Scott Adsit, Judah Friedlander, Alec Baldwin, Jane Krakowski and Keith Powell.

30 Rock centered on Liz Lemon (Fey), who tries to juggle the egos around her while chasing her own dream as the head writer for a late-night variety TV show in New York.

It was nominated for nearly 200 awards, including nine Emmy wins for writing, acting and multiple Outstanding Comedy Series wins. The series earned a total of 47 award wins from various organizations throughout it’s time on air.

There were also many celebrity guest stars throughout the years, like Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Dratch, Will Forte, Jason Sudeikis, Cheyenne Jackson,...

The beloved Tony-winning actor passed away at the age of 48 on Monday (September 30) after a brief battle with a rare form of cancer.

“Welcome aboard The Odyssey.”

On Wednesday, Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken asked audiences to investigate the macabre with their FX horror series, “Grotesquerie.” Shifting gears towards the more pleasant side of humanity, the same series creators premiered a new medical drama the following night called “Doctor Odyssey.” Starring Joshua Jackson as Dr. Max Bankman, his Yale-educated doctor is tasked with handling emergency medical cases aboard a luxury cruise ship.

In the opening few minutes of the show’s premiere, Dr. Bankman is introduced getting dressed for his first day of work to the tune of Smokey Robinson’s “Cruisin’.” Taking on a new job can often be an intimidating endeavor, but this doctor likes to wear Hawaiian shirts, and you just know he’s easygoing. Post-covid, he traverses the next phase of his life by boarding The Odyssey, a beautifully designed and cultured cruise liner filled with honeymooners and vacationing retirees.

It's become something of a Ryan Murphy fall on the small screen. The prolific producer who's brought us such generation-defining hits as Popular, Nip/Tuck, Glee, and American Horror Story has debuted quite a bit of new content this fall on Netflix and beyond.

First up, American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez made its premiere on FX and Hulu on Sept. 17, which led right into the Sept. 19 premiere of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story on Netflix. Since they arrived, both shows have been generating headlines, with Monsters rising to the peak of Netflix's most popular shows ranking and creating a lot of conversation online.

Next on Murphy's continued domination of television this season, two high-profile shows arrive on the same exact week. The brand-new horror series Grotesquerie will send a chill down your spine the day before the new procedural drama Doctor Odyssey sets sail. But where can...

Doctor Odyssey is soon setting sail! Just so you don’t miss the boat, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the ABC medical drama starring Joshua Jackson ahead of its premiere.

From 9-1-1 creator Ryan Murphy, Doctor Odyssey follows Max (Jackson), the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship “where the staff works hard and plays harder,” per the ABC synopsis. “It’s all hands on deck as Max and his small but mighty team navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore.”

“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” is asking viewers to be the jury for the Menéndez brothers. The infamous Beverly Hills siblings murdered their parents in 1989, and were convicted in 1996, but today’s more comprehensive understanding of sexual abuse has sparked renewed interest in the case.

“[The show’s] about the consequences of trauma,” Javier Bardem, who plays the father, José, told Variety at the series Los Angeles premiere on Monday. “Unless [it is] properly addressed and healed, it’s going to have a huge, horrible, dramatic effect on generations to come.”

The cast and creatives of the series described its “Rashaman” approach to the story.

“We wanted to really present a lot of different points of view, and then let the audience sort of decide what to take,” writer and producer David McMillan said. “We are talking about real people … many of them are still alive. We want to make sure that our...

Doctor Odyssey, a new medical drama by Ryan Murphy, and starring Joshua Jackson, is already proving popular. Its trailer tallied 77.8 million views in the first 48 hours of being released. Deadline reports ABCs official TikTok channel accounted for most of the views, or about 38.8 million. The grand total makes the Doctor Odyssey trailer the most-watched trailer ever for a new broadcast TV show. The record previously was the This Is Us trailer in 2016.

The new show, which premiers Sept. 26 on ABC, follows the life of Max (Jackson) an on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship, and the challenges he and his team face. It also stars Don Johnson and Phillipa Soo. The Doctor Odyssey trailer was released just 10 days before the show's premiere, unlike the This Is Us trailer, which was released a month before its first episode.

Ryan Murphy’s new medical drama Doctor Odyssey is already breaking records, and it hasn’t even premiered. The trailer for the new series broke records after it went viral on social media. It also teased a possible theory about the show’s premise.

Unprecedented Record

According to Deadline, the new trailer for Doctor Odyssey set a new record for fall premieres. Within the first 48 hours, the trailer attracted 77.8 million views and went viral on social media. The ABC series set a record for having the most views for a new broadcast, which hasn’t even aired yet.

NBC’s drama This Is Us, which starred The Young and the Restless alum Justin Hartley (ex-Adam), held the previous record. This new ABC medical drama feels more like a primetime soap.

Ryan Murphy’s new ABC medical drama Doctor Odyssey starring Joshua Jackson and Don Johnson is headed for the record books with its trailer logging 77.8 million views within its first 48 hours of release. The total makes this the most-watched trailer for a new broadcast TV show ever. The prior record was held by This Is Us, which amassed a similar total over its first 11 days. The NBC series went on to have a very successful six-season run.

The top platform for Doctor Odyssey was TikTok, which accounted for 38.8M views on the official ABC channel alone, with Facebook coming up second with 23M. Back in 2016 when This Is Us premiered, TikTok was in its infancy, with the lion share of trailer viewing done on Facebook (50M in 11 days.)

Like most trailers for new broadcast series, This Is Us was unveiled in May during the upfronts. Meanwhile, the Doctor Odyssey trailer...

Max is joined byPhillipa Soo's Nurse Avery Morgan and Sean Teale's Nurse Tristan Silva, making up his medical team, while Don Johnson stars as Captain Robert Massey in Doctor Odyssey. So, it's safe to say that the series' main cast is impressive.

Joshua Jackson's next TV series Doctor Odyssey premieres on Thursday, September 26, at 9 pm Et on ABC.

The cast of Doctor Odyssey contains a Grammy Award winner, a Tony-nominated star, and an Emmy-nominated actress, and that's just Phillipa Soo. Don Johnson is a legend in his own right, being awarded a Golden Globe and...

The Doctor is in, and we're ready to see the many saves and medical emergencies. Doctor Odyssey arrives in less than a week, and the first full-length trailer is out.

We already knew to expect some top-named guest stars here and there. After all, the Queen of Country Pop is going to be in at least one episode, and the latest trailer gives us the same clip from the teaser. We still have no idea who Shania Twain is going to play.

That's not all. The Doctor Odyssey trailer makes it clear there are more big names. It looks like a big guest star per episode, which makes sense considering how many people Ryan Murphy has worked with over the year.

The Odyssey may end up being a cruise ship people don't want to go on with all the emergencies that happen,...

Joshua Jackson is headed aboard a luxury cruise ship as Max Bankman, the Odyssey’s new on-board doctor. But his job is anything but relaxing as he and nurses Tristan (Sean Teale) and Avery (Phillipa Soo) are all hands-on-deck to navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore.

“We’ve constructed a paradise here,” Don Johnson’s Captain Robert Massey says in a new trailer for the Ryan Murphy series. “But make no mistake about it, we have to be prepared for everything.”

The two-minute trailer, which features the song “Fever,” sees the team taking on various patients, from one woman who needs to be revived to a man who has fallen overboard and needs to be rescued. It also sees a romance develop between Bankman and Avery, with the pair having an awkward conversation in the elevator after a shirtless make-out session in Bankman’s office.

In addition,...

Joshua Jackson has boarded the Odyssey.

In his return to network TV, Jackson plays Dr. Max Bankman in Ryan Murphy’s next ABC series, Doctor Odyssey premiering Sept. 26. The premise of the series has been largely kept under wraps. But now a trailer and synopsis introduces the prolific showrunner’s next TV offering.

Described as a high-octane procedural, Doctor Odyssey follows Max (Jackson), the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship where the staff “works hard and plays harder. It’s all-hands-on-deck as Max and his small but mighty medical team navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore.”

The trailer (below) introduces Max’s on-board medical team played by Phillipa Soo, Sean Teale and Don Johnson, who are joined by star-studded guest stars Shania Twain, John Stamos, Gina Gershon, Kelsea Ballerini, Chord Overstreet, Cheyenne Jackson, Laura Harrier, Stephanie Suganami and Justin Jedlica.

Nina West can thank a phone call from friend Zelda Williams for her biggest acting opportunity to date.

“Zelda Williams calls. ‘My friend has you on their vision board for this movie. Would you be Ok if I introduced you?’” recalls West, the drag queen who is also known as Andrew Levitt.

Their mutual friend was Tina Romero, a filmmaker and daughter of late zombie maestro George A. Romero, the revered Night of the Living Dead director.

The younger Romero wrote West a note, recalling how before her father’s death in 2017, she received his blessing on her own project, a movie called Queens of the Dead. The horror-comedy centers on drag queens and club kids battling the undead during an outbreak at a drag show in Brooklyn. Would West want to be a part of the movie?

West, best known as a contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race, previously...

Not all actors enjoy watching themselves on-screen — Adam Driver famously walked out of an interview with NPR's Terry Gross when she played a clip of one of his scenes from "Marriage Story," to present the most extreme example. Apparently, Mayim Bialik also hates watching her own performances, and that includes her nine-season run on the hit CBS sitcom "The Big Bang Theory."

Bialik talked to The Metro UK in June 2020 — roughly one year after "The Big Bang Theory" concluded after 12 seasons — about her career and made a surprising admission: she's watched very little of the show that revived her career. "I've never seen most of the episodes," Bialik revealed. "I don't watch myself on television. I've never sat and watched an episode of our show, ever."

Obviously, Bialik isn't being entirely literal here; during the filming process, she ended up watching scenes that featured her. What the actress meant...

Borderlands movie breaks records with a disappointing 9% Rotten Tomatoes score, disappointing many involved. Cate Blanchett and eight other actors set personal record lows with their involvement in Borderlands. Director Eli Roth sees Borderlands as his worst-rated film on Rotten Tomatoes, with only a 9% rating.

Borderlands' Rotten Tomatoes score breaks several records, just not in the way everyone involved would have hoped. The first-ever live-action adaptation of 2K and Gearbox's popular video game franchise attracted top talent from across Hollywood. Lionsgate eventually landed Eli Roth as the director, with Cate Blanchett and others headlining Borderlands' cast of characters. The talent involved even grew through the movie's reshoots, which brought Deadpool's Tim Miller aboard to handle the additional photography. All this was done in the hopes that the Borderlands' reviews and the general response would be favorable, leading to a box office hit franchise.

Unfortunately, the reaction to the 2024 video...

Borderlands is an action sci-fi action comedy adventure film directed by Eli Roth from a screenplay co-written by Eli Roth and Joe Crombie. Based on an action role-playing first-person looter shooter video game franchise of the same name developed by Gearbox Software, the 2024 film follows the story of a group of misfits led by Lilith, an infamous bounty hunter as she returns to her home planet of Pandora. Together they fight against alien monsters and dangerous bandits to uncover one of the most dangerous secrets. Borderlands stars Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Edgar Ramirez, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, Gina Gershon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Haley Bennett, Bobby Lee, Olivier Richters, Janina Gavankar, Cheyenne Jackson, and Charles Babalola. While, Borderland isn’t getting much love from the critics or the audience, but if you love the action and bonds between the team in Borderlands here are some similar movies you should check out next.

Exclusive: Sam Okun Productions has optioned Dark Side of the Moon: Wernher von Braun, the Third Reich and the Space Race, a historical work from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Wayne Biddle, for development as an ongoing one-hour drama series, Deadline has learned.

Based on true accounts, along with additional source material from the book, the show follows a rebellious MIT graduate who shatters glass ceilings to join NASA, where, under the mentorship of Wernher von Braun, mastermind of America’s space program, she becomes a rising star. But while navigating the roiling sexual, social and political landscape of the ’60s and the Cold War, her dream becomes a nightmare when she uncovers Von Braun’s dark past.

The show is described as character-driven, with two intertwined timelines, falling tonally somewhere between Lessons in Chemistry and Oppenheimer.

Bosch‘s Daniel Pyne will serve as showrunner and exec alongside writer-producer Michael Esser, who...

Many video game fans will know that Borderlands is one of the most beloved action games of all time. Currently, there are four main games in the series, as well as some spin-offs and crossovers, but regardless of that, the series is undoubtedly one of the more popular ones.

In light of the recent successes of video game adaptations, a Borderlands movie was demanded by fans, and we now know that the movie is coming out today, but it seems that most fans will be disappointed, wishing that the movie – at least in this format – had never been made.

Namely, ahead of the US premiere of the Borderlands movie, which is happening today – on August 9, 2024 – the first critics’ reviews (for those who’ve seen the previews) are in and the critics have absolutely destroyed the movie, and it seems that the first audience reactions are also very disappointing.
