Suits LA is pulling out the big guns, bringing back a major villain from the original series — just as Stephen Amell’s star power fails to save the spinoff. While fans hoped for a fresh take, the show seems to be banking on nostalgia to keep interest alive.

With Harvey Specter’s shadow still looming large, will this familiar foe be enough to turn things around? Or is Suits LA already running out of moves?

Daniel Hardman returns: Suits LA brings back its most notorious villain David Costabile in Suits | Credits: NBC

After Suits LA landed Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), another big name is stepping back into the courtroom — this time, as a villain. David Costabile is set to reprise his role as Daniel Hardman, the original series’ notorious schemer.

Hardman, once a founding partner of Pearson Hardman, was booted after embezzling money...

Another “Suits” alum is coming to “Suits LA.” Variety has learned exclusively that David Costabile is set to appear on the recently-launched NBC series, reprising the role of Daniel Hardman.

Costabile will appear in a guest star role in a future episode, but exact details are being kept under wraps. He will be the latest original “Suits” actor to appear on “Suits LA,” joining both Gabriel Macht and Rick Hoffman.

In the original series, Hardman was formerly a partner at Pearson Hardman before he was forced out of the firm when it was discovered he was embezzling money to finance an affair, originally claiming he was doing so to help his dying wife. He would appear throughout the course of the show in various attempts to take over the firm and cause problems for Harvey and Jessica.

Costabile has starred in a number of critically-acclaimed TV dramas throughout his career,...

Elena Oxman’s “Outerlands” is a film of great cinematic sleight of hand. The withdrawn San Francisco drama, about lonely nonbinary nanny and restaurant server Cass (Asia Kate Dillon), is simple in its presentation, but disguises numerous layers to its story. These eventually unravel, and build to an emotional wallop. When work crush Kalli (Louisa Krause) suddenly leaves town, Cass is placed in charge of her quiet but headstrong 11-year-old daughter, Ari (Ridley Asha Bateman). The longer Kalli stays away, the more Cass is forced to reckon not just with the possibility that Ari has been abandoned, but with their own childhood abandonment, which continues to ripple in the present.

This straightforward plot is often broken up by poetic interludes, made up of languid shots of a changing cityscape. Once a bustling queer capital, the inequality plaguing San Francisco has reached something of a breaking point. On one side stand tech company high rises.

A sometime sex worker longs for love in director/writer/star Annapurna Sriram’s chaotic debut feature film, Fucktoys. We meet AP (Sriram) mid-tarot reading, sitting in the middle of a swamp, listening to the wisdom of a psychic played by iconic rapper, Big Freedia. Desperate to make a positive turn in her life, AP begs for a solution to her overall ills, to which the tarot woman immediately shoots back: it’s gonna be $1,000 and she’s going to have to slit the throat of a lamb. In possession of neither a lamb, nor $1,000, AP now has a quest, and she will not be denied. Sriram may be familiar to viewers from her appearances in Billions or The Blacklist, but she’s mostly flown under the radar working...

Because the world does not feel dystopian enough, “Black Mirror” is finally releasing its Season 7 premiere date. The sci-fi anthology from Charlie Brooker will return on April 10 with six new episodes.

This new season will contain a previously announced followup to the Emmy-winning “USS Callister” starring Cristin Milioti. Fittingly, the trailer for this new season starts with Milioti’s Lieutenant Cole gasping as an unseen voice says “We’d like to welcome you back.”

The trailer then cycles between clips of wild scenarios that are never fully explained. One minute, a man is putting on a Batman mask. The next, Issa Rae is being transported into a black-and-white world filled with AI people. Still the next, Rashida Jones collapses like a powered off robot while pitching cereal in front of a class of children. You know, classic “Black Mirror” stuff.

But the most exciting part of this first trailer does...

Once upon a time, mostly in the 1980s and 90s, the downtown Manhattan indie movie was a thing. Films like Jim Jarmusch’s Permanent Vacation, Edo Bertoglio’s Downtown 81, Larry Clark’s Kids and, later on, early Safdie brothers efforts like The Pleasure of Being Robbed were gritty off-the-cuff street features made on tiny budgets, shouldered by directors looking to capture the weird and wild world below 14th Street.

But living in that part of the city soon became expensive, and more expensive, and even more expensive — to the point that many writers, artists and filmmakers were priced out of their neighborhoods. Shooting in Manhattan also became exorbitantly costly, leaving room for only well-funded TV shows like Law & Order, Billions or Succession. Even the latest NYC-set Safdie joint (directed by Josh Safdie in his first solo effort) is an epic period piece, starring Timothée Chalamet, with a budget estimated between $50-$70 million.

Over 40 years after bringing fans along for the ride in Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party, Cameron Crowe has unearthed long-lost footage of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

The result is the filmmaker’s remastered documentary, Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party, now streaming on Paramount+. It features never-before-seen 16mm footage shot during the rock-and-roll band’s Long After Dark era from 1982 to 1983. Per the logline, the music documentary “is a fun, candid, fast-paced, and musically rich ride with America’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band, a time capsule of the dawn of the MTV era, and a rare and shining glimpse into Tom Petty’s lasting creative genius.”

With a title like “Fucktoys,” Annapurna Sriram’s directorial debut boldly announces its wild intentions. A provocative name like that has been known to backfire, especially as it can over-inflate one’s expectations for the gonzo filmmaking they’re about to witness. But Sriram’s movie — a grotesque odyssey through a place called Trashtown, which has shades of New Orleans and a hint of Los Angeles — is at least impressively strange. It’s the kind of project that, despite some flaws, allows Sriram to stake her claim as a filmmaker to watch, with a distinctive voice that mashes up rockabilly aesthetics with Tarot mysticism and an incredible dig at James Franco. This is the kind of thing you want to see at a festival like SXSW: Messy, but wholly original in its genre mashup.

As an actress, Sriram appeared on the likes of “Billions” and “The Blacklist,” shows that are tonally miles apart from “Fucktoys.

Rlje Films has acquired “Neighborhood Watch,” a crime thriller starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jack Quaid and Malin Akerman. The film was directed by Duncan Skiles, who is best known for his work on “The Clovehitch Kiler.” It was previously entitled “Nowhere Men.” The rights will cover North America. Rlje Films plans to release “Neighborhood Watch” in theaters and on demand on April 25, 2025.

The film follows Simon (Quaid), a young man grappling with mental illness, who becomes convinced that he has witnessed an abduction. When he reports it to the police and they refuse to believe him, he reluctantly seeks the help of his neighbor Ed (Morgan), a retired security guard with a troubled past. As two try to unravel the mystery, they are forced to confront the dark secrets surrounding the disappearance, as well as grapple with their own issues.

Morgan co-starred on “The Walking Dead,”, Quaid appears on “The Boys,...

Annapurna Sriram has a lengthy showbiz resume, acting in massive series like “The Blacklist” and “Billions,” indie films and other projects. Yet, after a childhood obsessed with daring cinema from auteurs like John Waters, she didn’t feel she was living up to her creative potential.

“As an actor who is ethnically ambiguous, I was getting pigeonholed into a lot of really boring, sort of racial stereotypes,” Sriram says. “‘You’re the brown girl with a headscarf whose parents have an arranged marriage. You’re the doctor in this.’ So I felt like that didn’t excite me, and if I wanted to be a doctor, I’d just be a doctor. I’d make a lot more money, and my parents wouldn’t stress out so much.”

So began the long genesis of “Fucktoys,” her debut feature which is set to premiere tonight at the SXSW TV & Film Festival.

Exclusive: NBC’s Suits LA will welcome Rick Hoffman later this season, reprising the role of Louis Litt he originated in the mothership series, USA Network’s Suits. Sources close to production confirm he will appear in one episode this season with the potential to return for more if NBC picks up the Aaron Korsh-created legal drama for a second season.

Hoffman is the second actor from Suits to return to the universe following Gabriel Macht, who will appear in three episodes this season. Litt and Macht’s Harvey Spector will not coincide in any episodes, we hear.

Louis Litt is an attorney specializing in corporate finance who provides the series with comedy relief. He’s the character you love to hate because he has a tough outer core but is actually a sensitive softie on the inside. Louis is famous for using the catchphrase “You Just Got Litt Up,...

Exclusive: Another hot package is getting ready to hit the market as Deadline is hearing MRC and T-Street are putting together A Place in Hell, the next film from Fair Play director Chloe Domont, starring Michelle Williams and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

Domont’s most recent film Fair Play was one of the breakout hits at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, with Netflix ultimately making it one of the major acquisitions of the festival.

If you love the wild drama of Succession, these 10 TV shows are right up your alley!

Just wrapping up its amazing run on HBO, Succession was one of the biggest hits of the network. It revolved around the Roys, a family of beyond-rich business tycoons seeking more power. That led to scores of backstabbing and dark comedy of this truly dysfunctional family trying to work together.

The show was a huge hit, with multiple Emmy Awards for its cast and Best Drama, among other accolades. It’s over now, but thankfully, there are plenty of shows like it for folks who enjoy tales set in the world of high finance and often involving bickering to the point of murdering families.

The political conspiracy thriller series genre has been exploding of late, with high-action series like The Night Agent, Paradise, The Recruit, and Jack Ryan. These come on the heels of many that paved the way before them, like House of Cards, Madam Secretary, Scandal, and Bodyguard. There’s a new one coming soon called Zero Day, and it’s worth adding to the watch list.

From the timely and topical premise to the intensity of the story, the top-notch cast, and the high-tech themes, Zero Day is poised to be one of the biggest show debuts this year. With the limited series having been conceived years ago and filming reportedly stalled due to the Writers Guild of America strike, fans are hoping it will be worth the wait.

Exclusive: Lbi Entertainment has signed for management the prolific Emmy winning writer, director and producer Danny Strong.

Strong, whose recent work includes Dopesick, Empire and Recount, is currently working on a classic Hollywood-era film for director Martin Scorsese starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. Strong wrote the script on spec which was quickly taken off the market by Lbi. Strong is also currently co-writing Ultra with Tony Kushner for Steven Spielberg, based on the Rachel Maddow podcast, Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra.

Strong’s resume includes pop culture successes like the Fox drama series Empire, which he co-created, served as exec producer and director of several episodes, but he is one of Hollywood’s stronger writers in hot button and political topics. He was the creator and showrunner of the Hulu series Dopesick, which starred Michael Keaton and focused on the Opioid scourge and the role of the Sackler family’s Purdue Pharma in spreading it.

Even though Leonardo DiCaprio has delivered banger after banger throughout his tenure in Hollywood’s entertainment industry as an actor, not many come as close to perfection at its peak as The Wolf of Wall Street. To say the least, that epic biographical black comedy crime film not only exceeded expectations but also turned out to be beyond immersive and intriguing.

The Wolf of Wall Street. | Credits: Paramount Pictures.

Besides becoming a major commercial success with its $407 million gross on a $100 million budget (via Box Office Mojo) – becoming Martin Scorsese’s highest-grossing film, the R-rated (and initially deemed controversial) masterpiece also earned rave reviews from fans and critics worldwide, going on to be nominated for 5 stunning Oscars, among other major accolades.

Being such a massively commended project, it’s only understandable that people want more of it through similar pieces. Turns out, similar pieces do exist: In the television shows field.

Emmy winner Holland Taylor is set as a series regular opposite Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in their untitled brothers comedy series for Apple TV+.

The 10-episode half-hour comedy reunites Harrelson and McConaughey, who play heightened versions of themselves in a heartfelt odd couple love story revolving around their strange and beautiful sibling-like bond. Matthew and Woody’s close friendship is tested when their combined families attempt to live together on Matthew’s ranch in Texas.

Taylor will play Matthew’s mother Ma Mac.

David West Read (The Big Door Prize) serves as showrunner on the untitled comedy from Skydance Television, which he executive produces with McConaughey and Harrelson, alongside David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Matt Thunell for Skydance Television and Bill Bost and Jeremy Plager.

Taylor is coming off her ninth career Emmy nomination last year for Apple TV+’s The Morning Show; she won in 1999 for The Practice.

Yellowjackets may not have gotten as much attention as some other high-profile shows when it debuted in 2021. But the Showtime thriller drama did earn seven Emmy Award nominations, including one for Outstanding Drama Series. Set in two timelines, 1996 and present day, it tells the story of members of a female high school soccer team who wind up lost in the wilderness following a plane crash. Left to survive for 19 months, they engage in terrible things that haunt them for the rest of their lives, up to the present day, 25 years later.

The second season of Yellowjackets premiered just over a year after season one ended, but fans have waited almost two years for season three. It's finally soon on its way.

John Cena's Matchbox movie has added a third actor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to its cast. Corey Stoll, who portrayed Darren Cross/Yellowjacket/M.O.D.O.K. in the Ant-Man movies, has become the latest actor to join Matchbox.

Deadline was the first to report Stoll's casting. At this time, his role remains under wraps. While he is perhaps best known on the big screen for his villainous MCU role, Stoll's film credits include Non-Stop, Driven, First Man, The Many Saints of Newark, West Side Story, and Rebel Moon. The actor also has quite a few prominent credits on the small screen, including starring roles in Law & Order: LA, House of Cards, and Billions. He also recently wrapped opposite Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks on The Better Sister, a new thriller series for Prime Video, based on the novel by Alafair Burke.

Every year at Sundance, it seems like there’s one new filmmaker who gets chosen as the promising new voice to make their debut at the festival. This is the festival that launched the careers of Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jane Schoenbrun, and Darren Aronofsky, amongst many, many others. 40+ years later, it’s still introducing the world to innovative artists and the next big things. For 2025, no one has made a bigger splash at Sundance than Eva Victor. Victor has been around for a while, working as a writer, actress (most notably on Billions), and as a hilarious video creator on Twitter. But with Sorry, Baby, their feature debut as writer, director, and star, Victor has proven themselves to be an exciting new voice that movies need. And it appears A24 was listening, as the prestigious indie studio has already acquired the rights to Victor's film.

Exclusive: Corey Stoll (Billions) has come aboard for a role in the live-action Matchbox film from Apple Original Films, starring John Cena, Deadline has learned.

All character details remain under wraps, as does the film’s plot. Inspired by Mattel’s die-cast toy vehicle line of the same name, the project hails from Skydance and Mattel Films. Stoll is part of an expanding cast that also includes Jessica Biel, Sam Richardson, Teyonah Parris, Arturo Castro and Danai Gurira.

Sam Hargrave (Extraction franchise) is directing Matchbox from a script by David Coggeshall (The Family Plan) and Jonathan Tropper (upcoming Your Friends and Neighbors).

Whatever you think about the Sundance Film Festival, there is a special kind of excitement when a movie from a first-time filmmaker premieres and you just know you are discovering and witnessing the real deal.

Welcome to the “real deal” Sundance circa 2025, as comedian and actress Eva Victor’s writing and directing feature debut, Sorry, Baby, in which she also stars, premiered in the U.S. Dramatic Competition. It has provided one of the most assured and heartfelt films not only of this festival, but also one of the most assured and heartfelt films I have seen in a very long time.

Victor, who has appeared on shows like Billions, as well as being a stand-up comic, proves that in her first attempt to write a movie (and eventually come to believe she could also direct it with herself in the lead role) she has a true talent as a storyteller.

The NCIS cast adds a new face during a new episode for Season 22.

The NCIS winter premiere arrives on Monday, January 27, ending the long hiatus between new episodes.

Agent Alden Parker (played by Gary Cole) has supplied his team with treats for several seasons.

The bakery he frequents is part of the new episode called Baker’s Man.

“After NCIS learns that the owner of Parker’s favorite bakery (guest star Melina Kanakaredes) is being blackmailed, they hatch a plan to save her from the perpetrators,” reads part of the synopsis for NCIS Season 22, Episode 10.

Parker (of course) comes to the rescue of his favorite bakery, but it will lead to some intense drama.

After “Blknws: Terms & Conditions” was pulled from this year’s Sundance Film Festival lineup, at the behest of its financiers at Participant Media, the independent movie has a new backer — and will light up snowy Park City with its world premiere after all.

James Shani’s Rich Spirit and Bn Media have acquired “Blknws,” buying Participant Media out of all rights in the process, with hopes of selling the film to a new distributor. Shani’s company is best known for rescuing “The Apprentice,” the controversial Donald Trump biopic, from Kinematics, which is backed by the billionaire former owner of the Washington Commanders, Dan Snyder.

But two seasons later, as the minds behind “Sex Lives of College Girls” conceptualized Kacey for the small screen, Lawrence’s audition once again stood out.

The first season of Goosebumps centered on a group of five high schoolers as they embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle — while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents’ past.

In the same The Hollywood Reporter interview where he revealed that Netflix is developing three more Fear Street movies, author R.L. Stine also spent some time hyping up another streaming adaptation of his work: Goosebumps: The Vanishing. The second season of the new Goosebumps TV series, Goosebumps: The Vanishing is set to make its premiere on January 10th on Disney+ and Hulu – and Stine described this as an “elevated” Goosebumps that’s more terrifying than the source material.

The first season of Goosebumps centered on a group of five high schoolers as they embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle — while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents’ past. The show is taking the anthology route, so we can expect a second season that has “an entirely new cast and setting based on Stine’s iconic Scholastic book series.

WWE Superstar and five-time Women's World Champion Becky Lynch (real name Rebecca Quin) recently announced on X that she'll be joining the cast of the Paramount+ series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy as a member of the bridge crew.

“You know, when you’ve already been champion of the world, there’s only one place to go next, and that’s to the stars,” Lynch said. “I am so excited to share with all of you that I am joining Star Trek: Starfleet Academy as part of the bridge crew. Lads, this has been the most amazing experience acting alongside just a spectacular cast and crew, and I cannot wait for all of you to check it out when it comes out on Paramount+. And hey, live long and prosper.”

Full of snappy dialogue, stylish scenery, and captivating stories, "Suits" more than passes the bar when it comes to contemporary, mass appeal, prestige television. After enjoying an impressive but relatively muted nine-season run from 2011 to 2019, the USA series suddenly became one of the most popular TV shows in the 2020s thanks to a bump from Netflix. The renewed interest in it has apparently been so overwhelming that NBC ordered a spin-off from series creator Aaron Korsh.

Korsh's new series -- titled "Suits L.A." -- will feature a new law firm and a brand new cast of characters, led by "Arrow" star Stephen Amell. While fans of the mothership series may not be surprised by this choice, the absence of these beloved actors will surely be felt, especially since it's hard to find many of them in other shows, unless you know where to look.

The Reagans went out on a high note.
