Four fresh faces have joined the cast of dark psychological thriller The Silence Game, from New Life writer/director John Rosman and producer T. Justin Ross.

Santiago Segura, Gabrielle Byndloss, Chris Webster, and Emily Rose have joined Tony Cavalero (“The Righteous Gemstones”), Sarah Yarkin (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Nicholas Cirillo (Black Mirror) in the cast of The Silence Game.

It follows a disillusioned young man who, after following a mysterious woman into a camp of outsiders, falls under the influence of a charismatic leader preaching virtue through The Silence Game, an unnerving game with straightforward but terrifying rules.

Rosman writes and directs.

The director’s feature debut, New Life, became a film festival darling in 2023, earning critical acclaim for its fresh take on the thriller genre. The film was acquired by Brainstorm Media and is currently streaming on Hulu. I wrote in my New Life review that “Rosman’s assured debut deftly blends genres,...

NCISstar Wilmer Valderrama is producing a new comedy for CBS. Known for his breakout role as Fez in That '70s Show, Valderrama joined the long-running procedural as Special Agent Nicholas “Nick” Torres in the NCIS season 14 premiere. He's been a mainstay of the franchise since then, helping to bridge the gap between Mark Harmon's exit and Gary Cole's arrival.

Valderrama has ventured beyond the screen, working as a director and a recording artist. He also published a memoir, An: American Story: Everyone's Invited, which was released in September 2024. The veteran performer is moving forward with another venture that's slowly taking shape.

Deadlinereports that Valderrama is part of the producing team behind Blanks, which centers on a serial dater who has his life upended when he learns that his biological clock is running out. This is made even worse by the fact that he's met the woman of his dreams,...

Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to the fighting world. Last year, just prior to starting the training for portraying boxer Christy Martin, the Euphoria star shared her antsy anticipation for getting back into combat sports when she said, “I grappled and did kickboxing from 12-19 years old. I’ve been itching to get back into the ring, train, and transform my body. Christy’s story isn’t a light one, it’s physically and emotionally demanding, there’s a lot of weight to carry. But I love challenging myself.” In the time since, photos had been released online teasing Sweeney’s transformation into Martin’s fighting shape.

According to Deadline, Sweeney recently shared her journey with W Magazine about putting on 30 pounds to play the athlete in the film. Sweeney professed, “I loved it. I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training.

Sydney Sweeney explains how she physically transformed for the upcoming Christy Martin biopic. The untitled biopic movie tells the story of Christy Martin, who became the most successful female boxer of the 1990s. The movie is directed by David Michôd and co-written by him and Mirrah Foulkes. In addition to Sweeney, its cast includes Katy O'Brian, Merritt Weaver, Ben Foster, Tony Cavalero, and Ethan Embry. The film does not yet have a release date or trailer, but there have been behind-the-scenes photos of her transformation.

Speaking with W Magazine, Sweeney spoke about her physical transformation to play Christy Moore. She described her intense training regimen, where she ate more, went through weight training, and "kickboxed midday for about two hours." In the process, her "body was completely different," including her jean sizes increasing. While the experience was "crazy," she also felt it was "amazing" because of the strength she gained.

Sydney Sweeney has experienced a sharp rise through the ranks of Hollywood, driven by her acclaimed performances in shows like Euphoria and The White Lotus, but her next role is one that people may not even recognize her in. The actress signed on last year to portray boxing legend Christy Martin in a sports drama biopic directed by David Michôd, and now she has detailed the extreme lengths she went to in order to get into character and achieve her "crazy" transformation that so far has only been glimpsed in a handful of set photos.

In an interview with W Magazine, Sweeney detailed her commitment to delivering a knockout performance as the boxing Hall-of-Famer, as she explained how she underwent intense training and gained more than 30 pounds to portray Martin in the as-yet untitled movie. She admitted that her body was "completely different" after it, but she embraced the challenge...

Before the internet caught fire over bathwater headlines, Sydney Sweeney was already turning heads for a very different reason, her jaw-dropping transformation for the Christy Martin biopic.

It most definitely marked a clear shift from the image she built after her breakout as Cassie. Every red carpet look only cemented her s-x symbol status. But with Christy, she was finally given the opportunity to prove she’s got real range.

And Sweeney is thus now finally opening up about what she did to play the legendary boxer known as “The Coal Miner’s Daughter.” Turns out, she didn’t just throw a few punches and call it a day, she fully committed. That meant gaining 30 pounds to match Martin’s weight class and make the role as authentic as possible. Here is how she did it!

Sydney Sweeney’s transformation into the legend Christy Martin…

Featherweight might sound light, but in the boxing world,...

Sydney Sweeney opened up in a new W Magazine cover story about her dramatic transformation into boxer Christy Martin for an upcoming biopic, saying that her “body was completely different” after months of intense training.

“I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training,” Sweeney told the publication. “I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour.”

W also noted that the actor gained more than 30 pounds for the role.

“My body was completely different,” Sweeney said. “I didn’t fit in any of my clothes. I’m usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god.”

She added, “But it was amazing: I was so strong,...

Danny McBride, the creator of HBO's acclaimed comedy The Righteous Gemstones, has shed light on his decision to conclude the show with its recent fourth season finale. The series debuted in 2019 and follows the Gemstone family, a famous and affluent televangelist dynasty in South Carolina, led by patriarch Eli Gemstone (John Goodman). And now that the series is finally over, McBride is breaking down all of his thoughts about the maybe-not-so-holy series.

During a recent conversation with IndieWire's Filmmaker Toolkit podcast, McBride, who also stars in the series as Jesse Gemstone, shared that the decision to bring the show to a close with its fourth season wasn't set in stone.

"Even as I approached this season, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it the final season or not. This is a very awesome show to be able to work on. It's in my backyard. I love...

This article contains mild spoilers for the series finale of "The Righteous Gemstones."

After six years and four seasons, Danny McBride's hit HBO comedy, "The Righteous Gemstones," has completed its story. At least, the story audiences are permitted to see. The third HBO series from McBride and frequent collaborators David Gordon Green and Jody Hill under their Rough House Pictures banner following "Eastbound & Down" and the criminally underappreciated "Vice Principals," time will be incredibly kind to "The Righteous Gemstones," a show too smart, too funny, and too full of heart for its brilliance to be recognized on the scale it so rightfully deserved. The fact that the series (as of publication) never nabbed a Primetime Emmy Nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series is downright criminal and, in a just world, would be the only sign anyone needs to delegitimize the awards circuit. Some folks just don't appreciate the gift of Uncle Baby Billy Freeman,...

CBS is ordering two more series for the 2025-2026 broadcast season. “Dmv,” a comedy starring Harriet Dyer, and “Einstein,” a drama starring Matthew Gray Gubler, are moving forward at the network. Meanwhile, the broadcaster axed two of its one-season shows: “Poppa’s House” and “The Summit.”

These series order come in addition to “CIA,” a new series set in the “FBI” universe at the network, which was announced earlier on Tuesday.

Dyer (“Colin From Accounts”) will star in “Dmv” as Colette, a driving examiner with a huge heart who is adept at calming nervous drivers. But her intelligence and self-awareness also hides a woman who is neurotic, bad with boundaries and who is a constant people pleaser. She will star in the comedy alongside Tim Meadows (“Mean Girls”) as Gregg, a sardonic and defeated instructor who used to be a high school English teacher; Molly Kearney (“Saturday Night Live”) as Barbara,...

CBS has given series orders to both Tim Meadows’ single-cam comedy “Dmv” and Matthew Gray Gubler’s drama “Einstein.”

Both projects had been previously announced as pilots in development at the network.

In workplace comedy “Dmv,” Meadows plays a former high school English teacher turned examiner, who wants nothing more than to get through the driving tests as quickly as possible. He stars alongside Harriett Dyer, who plays Colette, a big-hearted examiner who is “adorably neurotic” and “bad with boundaries,” but genuinely roots for the driving students to pass.

Molly Kearney is Barbara, the oversharing Dmv boss who believes she is part of the gang, and Alex Tarrant is the dreamy surfer boy Noa. Tony Cavalero plays Vic, a “lovable scumbag” who was previously a security guard and head cook. Gigi Zumbado is Ceci, the “scrappy, tough and sassy drivers license photo taker.”

“Einstein” is a drama following the brilliant...

CBS has canceled “Poppa’s House” and “The Summit” after one season each.

Neither the sitcom from Damon Wayans Sr. and Damon Wayans Jr., nor the mountainous competition series will return on the network’s schedule next season.

“Poppa’s House” was created by Wayans Sr. and Kevin Hench, and starred the real-life father-son duo as father and son, alongside Essence Atkins and Tetona Jackson. Geoffrey Owens, Caleb Johnson, River Blossom and Wendy Raquel Robinson had recurring roles.

“The Summit” was a spinoff of an Australian series of the same name. Hosted by Manu Bennett, the series followed a group of contestants tasked with climbing a treacherous mountain, all while surmounting mental and social challenges.

The news of these cancellations comes as CBS has ordered two new projects to series: “Dmv,” a single-camera comedy starring Harriett Dyer, Tim Meadows, Molly Kearney and Alex Tarrant; and “Einstein,” a drama led by Matthew Gray Gubler and Rosa Salazar.

CBS has made a decision on its standalone pilots, handing series orders to comedy Dmv, starring Colin From Accounts‘ Harriet Dyer, from creator Dana Klein and Kapital Enteratnment; and drama Einstein, headlined by Criminal Minds alum Matthew Gray Gubler, from the Monk duo of Andy Breckman and Randy Zisk.

Dmv‘s order resolved a four-way tie for the single remaining comedy slot on CBS’ 2025-26 schedule. As Deadline reported last month, three pilots, the single-camera Dmv, the multi-camera Zarna, The Neighborhood planted spinoff as well as bubble freshman series Poppa’s House, were all vying for that one spot. It came down to Dmv, Zarna and Poppa’s House. As Deadline reported yesterday, the off-cycle Dmv, which tested and screened well, had a slight edge and will now join CBS’ lone single-camera comedy series, Ghosts, which was recently renewed for two seasons. The other pilots are not moving forward while Poppa’s House has been canceled.

CBS is adding to its roster of new series for the 2025-26 season, giving series orders to two pilots: a drama titled Einstein and a comedy called Dmv.

Einstein, from Monk creator Andy Breckman, stars Criminal Minds alum Matthew Gray Gubler as the title character, alongside Rosa Salazar. Dmv, a single-camera comedy set at a motor vehicle office, is led by Harriet Dyer and Tim Meadows. Both shows come from CBS Studios.

The two series orders are the first from CBS’ crop of development projects this season. They join fellow newcomers Sheriff Country, which the network ordered last year, and straight-to-series pickups Boston Blue and CIA. All three of the previous orders are offshoots of current or recently ended CBS shows — Fire Country, Blue Bloods and FBI, respectively.

Along with the series orders, CBS also announced that it has canceled its comedy Poppa’s House and competition show The Summit, both after a single season.

It’s official: Matthew Gray Gubler is returning to CBS.

The Eye network has handed a series order to Einstein, a new procedural headlined by the Criminal Minds vet. Additionally, CBS has greenlit the single-camera comedy Dmv, which stars Colin From Accounts standout Harriet Dyer.

“The Righteous Gemstones” is a Biblically epic comedy in every sense. Danny McBride and his creative team have always made the Gemstone family look as big and as loud and as garish as they feel important, entitled, and touched by destiny. In Season 4, it was crucial to make sure that the show left absolutely everything out on the field — be it a battlefield, a pulpit, or a soundstage for “Teenjus.”

It takes particular skill to keep upping what “big” looks like each and every season, but makeup department head Leigh Ann Yandle told IndieWire that all the departments on “The Righteous Gemstones” were able to execute on it because of the full trust and freedom they had to pitch ideas.

“Everybody goes for it, and they let you do it, too. Whatever you want to come up with, nothing’s too far. That’s what’s been fun about the show,...

The fourth and final season of HBO's spiritual satire The Righteous Gemstones may be its wildest yet. This week's episode, the fifth of the season, wears its cinematic influences on its sleeve, with two plotlines drawing inspiration from two lesser-known films by two of the 20th century's most visionary directors. In a new interview with IndieWire, the show's creators discuss how elements from Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon and George Romero's Monkey Shines made their way into "You Shall Remember."

Barry Lyndon served as the inspiration for a face-off between Jesse Gemstone (Danny McBride) and rival preacher Vance Simkins (Stephen Dorff), complete with slow zooms and Franz Schubert’s “Piano Trip No. 2." Says McBride, film history "is always a point of reference for us, and sometimes that means taking something like Barry Lyndon and injecting it into the stupid s*** we do to try to create something special."

On paper, costume design should be one of the more celebrated aspects of making film and television. After all, there are costumes throughout film and television history that are undeniably iconic -- everything from Indiana Jones' fedora and jacket to Cosmo Kramer's patterned button down shirts. There are also numerous productions where the effort put into the costuming can't help but be noticed, such as Eiko Ishioka's stunning costumes for "Bram Stoker's Dracula." Of course, not every costume need be as brazen as the latter, nor as iconographic as the former examples.

"The Righteous Gemstones" is one of the best comedies in HBO history: a "Succession"-like story about a family of infamous televangelists that explores themes of religion, corruption, greed, deviance, and propaganda. It's also the show that very well may be single-handedly evening the bare scales in terms of displaying full-frontal male nudity. There have been plenty of discussions this year surrounding the moments of male nudity on season 3 of "The White Lotus," but it's one thing to catch Patrick Schwarzenegger in the nude for a brief moment or flash a bit of Jason Isaacs' stunt hog before jolting the camera away to capture the shocked reactions of the other characters in the room — it's another thing entirely to feature a cold-open where Walton Goggins' second nude body double waterskis wearing nothing but a life jacket, boink swatter flapping in the wind.

Full-frontal male nudity is nothing new for "The Righteous Gemstones.

In the penultimate episode of "The Righteous Gemstones" season 3 — aptly titled after the Bible verse Isaiah 42:6 — "I Will Take You By the Hand and Keep You," Kelvin Gemstone (Adam Devine) and his longtime confidante Keefe Chambers (Tony Cavalero) finally admitted to each other what audiences (and the entire Gemstone family) have known for years, these two are in love and it's not worth fighting it anymore.

From the show's debut, Devine's performance as Kelvin has been arguably one of the toughest tightropes to walk (and not just because he insists on doing most of his own stunts) as the intentionally closeted youngest son of a world-famous megachurch pastor,...
