After Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s opulent, star-studded wedding in June, A-list celebs will be hitting Venice again in August for the shoot of Netflix show Emily in Paris.

Venice mayor Luca Zaia confirmed the news on social media over the weekend revealing that the show will shoot in the lagoon city’s historic center from August 15 to 25, wrapping just two days before the Venice Film Festival kicks off across the water on the Venice Lido on August 27.

“The extraordinary news confirms that our territory is increasingly attractive to big audiovisual productions, thanks to its unique heritage and the teamwork between institutions and professionals in the sector,” Zaia wrote in his post.

He saluted the Veneto Film Commission as well as local production company 360 Degrees Film for their work in location scouting with series director Andrew Fleming and helping to secure Venice as a spot as a location.

“Suits LA” won’t be returning for a second season at NBC.

NBC has opted not to renewed the “Suits” spinoff series for an additional season, leading the Stephen Amell-led show to end after just one season. The news comes before “Suits LA” airs its Season 1 finale on May 18.

In “Suits LA,” Amell starred as Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York, who reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. “His firm is at a crisis point and to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career,” the official logline reads.

The supporting cast of “Suits LA” includes Josh McDermitt (“The Walking Dead”), Lex Scott Davis (“Ricky Stanicky”) and Bryan Greenberg (“How to Make It in America”).

The spinoff series also saw “Suits” star Gabriel Macht reprise his role as fan-favorite Harvey Specter for a three-episode arc, while Rick Hoffman,...

Before Bryan Greenberg became the ambitious lawyer Rick Dodson in Suits LA, he was hustling through the streets of New York in the HBO series How To Make It in America. The two-season show, which aired from 2010 to 2011, followed two young entrepreneurs, Ben (Greenberg) and his best friend Cam (Victor Rasuk), as they pursued their dreams of having their own fashion brand. The series showcased the grit, sacrifice and perseverance required to make a dream a reality, all while embracing the highs and lows of living in New York City. Though short-lived, How To Make It in Americaresonated with a young audience and continues to do so today, suggesting the show may have been slightly ahead of its time.

Five years since it aired its final episodes, Suits is back. Well, sort of. Suits LAis set in the same universe, but will feature a brand-new crew of attorneys led by Arrow star Stephen Amell. However, it will still feature some distinct connections to the acclaimed original series, including Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). A few months after it was confirmed the fan-favorite lawyer would return in the upcoming spinoff, a new promo for Suits LA has blown the lid on his appearance, which seems to be more significant than a brief cameo.

In a new promo for Suits LA, Amell's lead character, Ted Black, dials up his old buddy, who happens to be Harvey Specter. The teaser then cuts to Gabriel Macht as Harvey in the back of a car, seemingly on his way to visit the firm across the country in Los Angeles. Fortunately, his appearance is not just a cameo,...

Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg said they lost what “was supposed to be our forever home” in the Los Angeles wildfires.

The couple took to Instagram on Friday to share a video of the devastation left behind after flames tore through their neighborhood. In the footage, their home could be seen brought down to ash and rubble.

“Was supposed to be our forever home, but nothing lasts forever,” they wrote in the joint post’s cation. “Thankfully our family is safe, however other LA fire victims aren’t as fortunate. Please donate to them if you can.”

The halls of the new law firm in Suits: L.A. are getting a little more congested today, as Variety reveals that a handful of fresh names have been added to the upcoming spin-offs call sheet.

“Suits: L.A.” has started production in, you guessed it, Los Angeles.

The “Suits” spin-off series has moved filming locations from Vancouver, where the NBC procedural first shot its pilot, to Los Angeles. Production is currently underway on the new series, which stars Stephen Amell as a former federal prosecutor who shifts his clientele as he moves to the West Coast.

The official logline is as follows: “Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point and to survive, he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career. Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives.”

After “Suits” dominated streaming viewership last summer, “Suits: L.A.” received a pilot order in February,...

Just about a year after last summer’s “Suits” streaming boom, “Suits: L.A.” is picking up steam.

Led by “Arrow” star Stephen Amell, the new legal procedural centers on former New York federal prosecutor Ted Black (Amell), who reinvents himself at a Los Angeles law firm representing the city’s most powerful clients.

The spin-off series, which is headed up by much of the original “Suits” team, recently received a series order from NBC, shifting to another NBCUniversal-owned network after “Suits” aired on USA Network for nine seasons.

For a full breakdown of everything we know about “Suits: L.A.,” see below.

Does “Suits: L.A.” have a series order?

Yes, “Suits: L.A.” is officially a go! After getting a pilot order in February, NBC announced it would move forward with the spin-off in July, granting “Suits: L.A.” a series order.

Who is in the “Suits: L.A.” cast?

We spoke to actor Bryan Greenberg as his new conspiracy thriller Emperor of Ocean Park debuts on MGM+. It's a juicy legal series set in modern-day America, which sees the former star of HBO's How to Make It in America brushing shoulders with Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, who headlines their new show as fictional Judge Oliver Garland. Greenberg has kept busy with another hot-topic project: a Suits spinoff that will also star Stephen Amell, who we interviewed earlier this year.

"I'm definitely not ready to talk about that until we officially get greenlit, but [making the pilot that NBC ordered] was an amazing experience," Greenberg told MovieWeb about Suits: LA. "I love to work with Stephen, I love the whole cast, the crew, and I think the script's great, and I'm hearing good things. But there's still a long time, and I don't want to go there before if there's nowhere to go to.

Fourteen years following the premiere of HBO’s How to Make It In America stars Bryan Greenberg and Victor Rasuk have reteamed on a podcast.

“We (Almost) Made It” focuses on all things hustle and features interviews with people working hard and making moves—And the guys will share memories from the show and their reactions to their current rewatch. Guest on released episodes include How To Make It In America creator Ian Edelman and their co-star Luis Guzman, which are available now via your favorite podcast network.

While the series was short-lived—it ran for two seasons on HBO before it was prematurely canceled—both Greenberg and Rasuk are asked repeatedly about putting the gang back together. “The point of this podcast series is not to campaign for that,” they told Deadline. However, if something was offered, they would be down to revisit this universe in a New York minute.

Hyphenate Media Group co-founders Cris Abrego and Eva Longoria have set the company’s executive leadership team. Jada Miranda will serve as President of Television, Karla Pita Loor as Chief Strategy Officer and Alex Chang as Chief Operating Officer. All executives will report to Abrego and Longoria.

Most recently, Miranda served as President of Scripted Television and Production of STX Entertainment, focusing on domestic and international co-productions with partners Netflix, SyFy and Prime Video. Before that role, she helped develop series from video game IP, such as Halo at Xbox Entertainment Studios and fan-favorite titles Hannibal, Grimm and Chicago Fire at NBCUniversal. She began her career at HBO, where she co-led Comedy Programming supporting shows like Entourage, The Comeback and executive producing How to Make it In America.

Suits L.A. has brought a new cast member into the fold. The upcoming spinoff pilot, which is set in the same universe as the hit USA Network legal drama Suits, stars Stephen Amell as Ted Black, who has moved from New York City to Los Angeles, where, to his chagrin, he must undertake a more important position at his firm Black Lane Law.

Carter. They join previously announced series regulars Forest Whitaker, Grantham Coleman, Tiffany Mack and Paulina Lule.

From John Wells and Sherman Payne, Emperor of Ocean Park is set in the worlds of politics, Ivy League academia and the beaches of Martha’s Vineyard. It follows Talcott Garland (Coleman), an Ivy League law professor whose quiet life is shattered when his father, Judge Oliver Garland (Whitaker), dies of an apparent heart attack. The nature of the judge’s death is questioned by Tal’s sister, Mariah (Tiffany Mack), a former journalist and inveterate conspiracy theorist, who believes that the judge, a failed Black nominee to the Supreme Court, met with foul play.

As the opioid crisis rages on, affecting every pocket of the U.S., the last decade has seen an uptick in documentaries and scripted productions taking audiences to the front lines of the epidemic. Setting the scene for the latest story is How To Make It in America and The Mindy Project star, Bryan Greenberg, who will use the film, Junction, to make his directorial debut. Assembling a stellar team of performers including Josh Peck (Oppenheimer), Ashley Madekwe (The Umbrella Academy), and Ryan Eggold (New Amsterdam), Greenberg’s first foray into filmmaking will be one close to his heart as he explores three different worlds affected by the pharmaceutical drug trade. An exclusive-to-Collider clip from Vmi and Verdi Productions introduces audiences to Peck’s drug rep, Jeff and Madekwe’s doctor, Mary, two characters who are not only caught in the middle of the opioid business but who have also...

Chad Verdi’s Vmi Releasing has acquired the opioid crisis drama “Junction,” which is the directorial debut of “How to Make It in America” actor Bryan Greenberg. Greenberg stars in the film along with Josh Peck, Sophia Bush and his wife Jamie Chung.

Under Vmi releasing, “Junction” is slated for a theatrical and VOD release on Jan. 24. As per the press release, the film description reads: “[‘Junction’] chronicles the modern-day opioid crisis in America from three different points of view: the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, a doctor and a patient. Each character will have to come face to face with the decisions they have made and their role in the epidemic.” Also starring in the film are Griffin Dunne, Ashley Madekwe and Ryan Eggold.

“The cast of ‘Junction’ has been nothing short of spectacular,” Verdi previously said. “We’ve been very lucky to have such notable talent respond to Bryan’s amazing script.

After a decorated career in television, The Family Plan director Simon Cellan Jones has returned to feature films for the first time in two-plus decades.

Cellan Jones’ feature career began with 2000’s Some Voices, a British drama starring a still-emerging Daniel Craig, and he soon followed that up with 2002’s The One and Only, before spending two decades in television, helming episodes of How to Make It in America, Treme, Jessica Jones, Boardwalk Empire, Ballers and Shooter. Four of the aforementioned shows were executive produced by Mark Wahlberg, and when the actor needed a filmmaker to direct March 2024’s Arthur the King during the pandemic, he gave Cellan Jones a second go-round in the feature space. The shoot went well, so well that after Cellan Jones locked picture, he quickly started prepping their current Apple TV+ release, The Family Plan.

The action-comedy centers around Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan’s characters’ suburban family,...

On Entourage, the central tension always involved the question of whether Vince was gonna do the movie. Only there was never really any tension, because of course Vince was gonna do the movie — or, if he didn’t, things would in some other way work out just fine for him, E, Turtle, and even Johnny Drama. Yet for a show with no real stakes and only a modest level of humor (especially if you weren’t amused by Ari screaming actionable insults at Lloyd), it ran for eight seasons. And a movie!

Vmi Worldwide to handle worldwide sales.

Vmi Releasing has acquired North American distribution rights to Verdi Productions’ Bryan Greenberg and Griffin Dunne opioid crisis thriller Junction out of the Cannes market.

Greenberg, whose acting credits include How to Make It In America, wrote and directed the story which tackles the crisis from the viewpoints of three people who must reckon with the consequences of their choices: the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, a doctor, and a patient.

The cast includes Sophia Bush, Ashley Madekwe, Ryan Eggold, Jamie Chung, Josh Peck, Michaela Conlin, Yara Martinez, Dascha Polanco, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Dash Mihok,...

It still feels a little surreal that not only has Charlie Cox returned as Daredevil in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that we’re getting a whole new series with Daredevil: Born Again. Deadline announced today that Margarita Levieva (The Deuce) and Sandrine Holt (American Gigolo) have joined the cast of Daredevil: Born Again in what are said to be major roles.

As you might have guessed, exactly who Margarita Levieva and Sandrine Holt are playing in Daredevil: Born Again is being kept under wraps, but Deadline hears that they’ll be playing love interests for the leads. In addition to Charlie Cox, Daredevil: Born Again will also feature the return of Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. Michael Gandolfini (The Many Saints of Newark) also recently joined the cast of Daredevil: Born Again. Margarita Levieva starred in all three seasons of HBO’s The Deuce and also appeared in...

The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated. Levieva joins a cast that includes Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Jodie Turner-Smith, Dafne Keen, Rebecca Henderson, Charlie Barnett, Dean-Charles Chapman and Carrie-Anne Moss in the Lucasfilm series which is currently shooting in the UK with creator, showrunner and executive producer Leslye Headland.

Levieva was most recently seen starring in the hit Netflix series In From The Cold,...

From the beginning, Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi has approached his career as an artist who would sooner toil in obscurity than be renowned for just one thing. Just two years after dropping “A Kid Named Cudi,” the mixtape that launched him into the spotlight, he was cast in “How to Make It in America,” a short-lived HBO-originals deep cut. In the decade since that show ended in 2011, he’s earned a reputation for bouncing willy-nilly between genres, mediums, and disciplines, and the choices that once seemed fickle now seem confidently eclectic.

Never has Mescudi looked more like a polymath than with the debut of “Entergalactic,” an animated Netflix special timed to the release of his new studio album (also dropping on Sept. 30), which bears the same title. “Entergalactic” was initially announced in 2019 as a series to be created by Mescudi and Kenya Barris, but has since been whittled down to...

In addition to creating such games as “League of Legends” and “Valorant,” Riot has also produced the Emmy-winning animated series “Arcane.”

While at Netflix, Beckner worked on Prentice Penny’s feature directorial debut “Uncorked,...

Earlier this year, Kid Cudi’s debut mixtape A Kid Named Cudi became available on streaming platforms—just a few days shy of its 14th anniversary. “I think it was a great reminder for people. It’s a celebration for what me, Plain Pat, Emile, and Dot Da Genius created early on,” Cudi said over the phone in an interview with Rolling Stone this week. “We set out to do something important. We wanted to change the game. We wanted to change how people approach making music. And we did that.

“Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” has recruited a star-studded cast, announcing a host of names lending their voices to the series during the show’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday.

Hulu has passed on “Rodham,” writer-producer Sarah Treem’s adaptation of the 2020 Curtis Sittenfeld novel that’s been in development at the streamer since summer 2020. But 20th Television is still is shopping the project to other streamers, now that Claire Danes and Dakota Fanning are attached to play Clinton at different stages of her life. In the package, Treem will write and executive produce, and James Ponsoldt will direct, with “Handmaid’s Tale” producer Warren Littlefield’s Littlefield Co. behind it.

“Rodham” — published in May 2020, and a New York Times bestseller — imagined an alternative universe in which Hillary Rodham Clinton met and dated Bill Clinton at Yale Law School, but never married him. Instead of the life Clinton has actually led, in “Rodham,” she goes on to thrive as a Northwestern University professor, and launches an eventual presidential run in 2016. Real-world events — such as rape accusations against Bill Clinton, and...

Kid Cudi paid tribute to late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain during his “Saturday Night Live” performances, rocking a fuzzy green cardigan and floral dress in true “Come As You Are” spirit.

Cudi first performed his song “Tequila Shots” and donned a green cardigan reminiscent of the one Cobain wore during Nirvana’s famous 1993 MTV Unplugged show. Cudi also paid homage to “SNL” legend Chris Farley in the look, sporting a t-shirt featuring the late comedian, who died of a drug overdose at age 33 in 1997. Cudi later posted on Twitter that the cardigan was from elusive streetwear brand Cactus Plant Flea Market.

The tribute continued in his second performance, which featured the song “Sad People.” Cudi rocked an Off-White floral dress custom made by Virgil Abloh, causing many fans to draw comparisons to a similarly-patterned dress Cobain was famously photographed in. The white, wide-skirted spaghetti strap ensemble featured a flower print...

A far cry from HBO’s other youth-centered show (that would be the visceral and brazen “Euphoria”), HBO’s newest attempt at catching the Gen-z zeitgeist, “Industry,” hews closer to the short-lived “How to Make it in America,” both in treating the professional and sexual lives of 20-somethings as semi-interesting dramatic fodder, and in terms of quality, as the two shows are workmanlike and, ultimately, forgettable.

The Lil Yachty-led comedy “Public Figures” is moving to HBO Max from Quibi, TheWrap has confirmed.

The series is being re-developed at the WarnerMedia streamer following news earlier this month that Quibi will shut down. It marks the first of the short-form streamer’s programs to find a new outlet in the weeks since Quibi’s creative partners were forced to seek alternative options for projects in development at the time of the decision.

“Public Figures” was first set up at Quibi in May of last year, with Lil Yachty set to star. Loosely based on his life, the ensemble dramedy explores what it’s like to be an aspiring influencer in New York City. The series follows a group of friends as they find themselves, lose themselves, experience epic failures and hard-fought success, hookups and breakups, and then do it all over again.

“How to Make It in America...

Lil Yachty’s dramedy series “Public Figures” has moved to HBO Max for development, Variety has learned exclusively.

The half-hour series was originally set up at Quibi last year, but moved over to HBO Max in the wake of Quibi shutting down.

Hulu has optioned the rights to Curtis Sittenfeld’s alternative history book “Rodham,” which takes place in a world in which Hillary Rodham never married Bill Clinton.

The series is described as telling the story of an ambitious young woman, developing her extraordinary mind in the latter part of the 20th century, moving from idealism to cynicism and all the way back again.

Sarah Treem is attached to write and executive produce the project. “The Handmaid’s Tale” executive producer Warren Littlefield will also executive produce “Rodham” via The Littlefield Company along with Sittenfeld. Fox 21 Television Studios, where Littlefield is under an overall deal, will produce.

Should the show go to series, it would be the second project focused on Hillary Clinton that Hulu has aired. The streamer debuted the four-part docuseries “Hillary” back in March. That series chronicled her 2016 presidential campaign while also delving into events from her past that shaped her life.
