Two Netflix shows that debuted this summer, “Partner Track” and “The Imperfects,” won’t be picked up for a second season, TheWrap confirmed Tuesday.

“Partner Track,” based on Helen Wan’s 2013 novel “The Partner Track,” starred Arden Cho, who played Ingrid Yun, a motivated young lawyer who is climbing the ladder to becoming a partner at a prestigious law firm. During her journey, the show highlights the challenges women of color — specifically Asian American women — face in white, male-dominated industries.

“At an elite NYC law firm, Ingrid Yun fights to make partner — and hold onto her principles — while balancing romance, friends and family expectations,” reads the show’s description on Netflix. The legal drama premiered on the streaming platform Aug. 26 with 10 episodes. Other cast members included Dominic Sherwood, who played Jeff Murphy; Alexandra Turshen,...

Arden Cho, the star of Netflix's latest romance legal drama "Partner Track," has been in the spotlight for well over a decade, but she's managed to keep her love life private. In the series, the actor plays Ingrid Yun, a tenacious lawyer who's determined to climb up the corporate ladder and become a partner at her law firm, all while navigating a love triangle with her former fling, Jeff Murphy (Dominic Sherwood), and the doe-eyed Nick Laren (Rob Heaps).

While many viewers are engrossed in Ingrid's nail-biting love woes, others are also curious about Cho's relationship status in real life. The 37-year-old "Teen Wolf" actor - who's set to star in the forthcoming live-action adaptation of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" - is notoriously tight-lipped about her romances. Case in point: Cho has only ever gone public with Ryan Higa, the popular internet personality whom she dated for nearly five years.

If you've already binge-watched all 10 episodes of Netflix's new legal drama series "Partner Track," then you are probably very familiar with actor Dominic Sherwood - and possibly have a new face pinned to your billboard of Netflix heartthrobs. Some may remember Sherwood from his three-season stint on Freeform's "Shadowhunters," in which he played series lead Jace Wayland from 2016 to 2019. On "Partner Track," he stars as Jeff Murphy, lawyer and boyfriend to series protagonist Ingrid Yun (portrayed by Arden Cho). From his character's swoonworthy side-eye to his irresistible charisma, fans are eager to see Jeff's redemption arc play out in a possible season two.

Meanwhile, some are curious as to whether Sherwood is currently single or taken. Despite their fiery onscreen chemistry, Sherwood and Cho are not an item in real life. Albeit, that wouldn't be the first time Sherwood entered a relationship with one of his costars. In recent years,...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains details about Season 1 of Netflix’s Partner Track.

From Netflix, the streamer behind Virgin River and Sweet Magnolias, comes Partner Track, a new contemporary comedic drama series that combines the romance of Virgin River, the friendship of Sweet Magnolias with the corporate intrigue of HBO’s Succession.

Based on Helen Wan’s book, Partner Track follows Ingrid Yun (Arden Cho), an idealistic young M&a attorney, daughter of Korean immigrants, who struggles with her moral compass as she fights to climb the partner track at white male-dominated top New York City law firm Parsons Valentine. The first season finds Ingrid in a love triangle with Nick, a handsome, rich, nice guy, and Jeff Murphy, a new transfer from the London office, with whom she once shared a one-night stand and clearly still has attraction to. She tries to do the sensible thing and commits to Nick by accepting his proposal,...

The most frustrating turn in any romantic comedy is when the leading lady and/or man becomes a jerk. It’s a crucial moment — necessary, even — but it’s always the hump you have to endure in order to get to the part where everyone learns their lesson, embraces their truth, and kisses their hot crush to the triumphant swell of an impossibly catchy pop song that will nonetheless fade from memory by the time the credits roll. Without that annoying blip of tension, that payoff won’t be half as sweet — or, truth be told, half as earned.

Such is the conundrum facing “Partner Track,” Netflix’s frothy new comedy based on Helen Wan’s novel about lawyers fighting tooth and nail to become partner, if only they could stop getting distracted by each other. Ingrid (Arden Cho) is the firm’s determined golden girl, especially because she’s...

Brian Cox, best known as the brash media mogul Logan Roy on HBO‘s Succession, is set to make his directorial film debut with Glenrothan, a story about two estranged brothers reuniting in their birth land. Set in Cox’s home country of Scotland, the film sees the siblings reunite 40 years after their mother’s funeral, which saw a violent falling out with their father, leading to the younger brother leaving home for America. Now, they are both back in the Scottish Highlands, in the village that is home to the family business — the Glenrothan Distillery. Scottish actor and writer David Ashton (McLevy) is behind the project, which was co-written with award-winning screenwriter Jeff Murphy (Hinterland). It was co-developed by Lionsgate and Nevision. “Glenrothan is my homage to the elements that make Scotland such an extraordinary country, where vibrancy and majesty of the land is expressed through passion and desire...

Succession star Brian Cox is set to lead cast in and make his movie directorial debut on Glenrothan, a feature described as a “love letter” to his native Scotland.

The Emmy and Golden Globe winner will return to themes that have proved so potent in HBO hit Succession. Set against the backdrop of a thriving distillery town in the Scottish Highlands, Glenrothan, the film will tell the story of two estranged brothers reuniting in the land of their birth. The last time they spoke was on the day of their mother’s funeral when, following a violent exchange with their father, the younger of the two left their Highland home for America. Forty years later the brothers finally re-unite, back on Scottish soil and in the village that houses the family business – the Glenrothan Distillery.

Brian Cox, the Scottish actor known for playing formidable media baron Logan Roy on HBO’s “Succession,” is making his directorial debut in film with “Glenrothan.” The project is being co-developed by Lionsgate and London-based “Keeping Faith” producer Nevision.

The Emmy, Golden Globe and Olivier Award-winning “Succession” actor will also star in the film, which is billed as a “love letter to Scotland.” The project marks the second time Cox is going behind the camera: He previously directed an episode of HBO series “Oz” in 2000.

Netflix has ordered an adaptation of Helen Wan’s “Partner Track” from Jax Media.

The series will be created by Georgia Lee, starring Arden Cho, Bradley Gibson, Alexandra Turshen, Dominic Sherwood, Rob Heaps, Nolan Gerard Funk and Matthew Rauch.

“Partner Track” centers on Ingrid Yun (Cho), an idealistic young lawyer, struggles with her moral compass and her passions as she fights to climb the partner track at an elite New York City law firm. The season will consist of 10 episodes, which will be filmed in New York.

Added Jinny Howe, vice president, original series, Netflix: “We’re proud of the incredible team assembled to bring to life ‘Partner Track,’ an empowering story told through the eyes of our Asian-American lead character Ingrid Yun,...

Arden Cho may want to study up on some legal jargon: The Teen Wolf and Chicago Med alum will lead a small-screen adaptation of Helen Wan’s 2013 novel The Partner Track, which scored a series order at Netflix on Tuesday.

Created and exec-produced by The Expanse writer Georgia Lee, Partner Track will star Cho as Ingrid Yun, an idealistic and whip-smart young woman who is eager to be the first Asian-American junior partner at Parsons Valentine, an elite white-shoe law firm in Manhattan. “As Ingrid bargains and fights her way through these male power structures, she wrestles with what it...

Netflix has given a formal 10-episode series order to Partner Track, an adaptation of Helen Wan’s 2013 novel. Arden Cho has been tapped as the lead of the series, created by Georgia Lee (The Expanse). Bradley Gibson (Powerbook III: Ghost), Alexandra Turshen (Ray Donovan), Nolan Gerard Funk (The Flight Attendant), Dominic Sherwood (Penny Dreadful: The City of Angels), Rob Heaps (Good Girls) and Matthew Rauch (Terminal Lis) also star in the series, produced by Jax Media.

Julie Anne Robinson is set to direct the first two episodes of Partner Track in her followup to directing two episodes, including the pilot, of another Netflix drama series, global hit Bridgerton. It earned Robinson an Emmy and DGA Award nominations.

In Partner Track, Ingrid Yun (Cho), is an idealistic young lawyer, struggles with her moral compass and her passions as she fights to climb the partner track at an elite New York City law firm.

Justine (Tallulah Haddon) meets Rachel (Sophie Reid) in a bookshop and the two start chatting. After another chance enounter they begin dating and quickly develop a pretty serious relationship. The problem is that Rachel, about to move to Barcelona to be an English teacher, has her life much more together than Justine, who is on probation and still in the grip of alcoholism.

There are a lot of issues going on in Justine, but rather than alcoholism, or putting one’s life back together on probation, or the struggles of a relationship across economic lines, director Jamie Patterson and writer Jeff Murphy are interested in the human story between their two main characters. We don’t get a huge amount of background on Rachel, and what we learn about Justine is largely teased out in her reticence about her past, at least until one late scene lays some family tensions a bit more bare,...

Exclusive: Nevision, the British producer behind shows including BBC drama Keeping Faith, has signed an exclusive development deal with writer Jeff Murphy to create high-end scripted projects for the global market.

Murphy has written on Welsh series including Hinterland and Hidden, while his feature Denmark, starring Rafe Spall, was released in 2019. He will create his own ideas for Nevision, as well as helping develop the firm’s slate of feature films and series.

Nevision detailed a number of projects already in the pipeline: The Furies, a supernatural police procedural with elements of horror, which is in the works with Hidden creator and showrunner Mark Andrew.

Also in development with Murphy is Saul (working title), a profound and emotional series that throws together a...

Rose Glass’ psychological horror “Saint Maud” leads the charge at the 2020 British Independent Film Awards (BIFAs) with 17 nominations.

Leading the list of nominees this year is Rose Glass’ horror movie “Saint Maud” with an impressive 17 nominations.

Another horror movie, Remi Weekes’ refugee nightmare story “His House,” trails close behind with 16 nominations. That film is available to stream on Netflix. With 15 nominations is Sarah Gavron’s teen tale “Rocks.” “Calm with Horses,” titled in the U.S. as “The Shadow of Violence,” has 10 nominations, while “Mogul Mowgli” starring Riz Ahmed has seven. Florian Zeller’s Oscar hopeful “The Father,” with Anthony Hopkins, also is ahead of the pack with six nominations.

Stars: Rafe Spall, Joel Fry, Steve Speirs, Thomas W. Gabrielsson, Tim Woodward, Benedikte Hansen, Simone Lykke | Written by Jeff Murphy | Directed by Adrian Shergold

I believe it was the Beatles who once said “all you need is Rafe Spall” or something to that effect anyway… I have made no secret of the fact that when I find an actor or actress I like, I will go out of my way to watch them. It is a select group though, the likes of your Paddy Considine, Stephen Graham, Vicky McClue, Tom Hardy, Joe Gilgun to name a few (notice these are all Brits). The type of leading actors that can let a whole scene play out over their faces and not say a great deal but have me on the edge of my seat having heart palpitations. Another such actor who has been on my radar for some time now, and...
