Few industries are as globally renowned as K-pop. This South Korean genre of music has astounded listening audiences for generations, with its countless stars and record-breaking groups selling out shows all across the world. It's a widely celebrated artform that is twisted to horrifying lengths in White: Melody of Death. Directed by Kim Gok and Kim Seon, this horror film focuses on a K-pop girl group like the many that modern listeners love today. Their group is struggling to top the charts and growing bitter as they watch others achieve the fame they've fought so hard for. Their luck begins to turn once they discover an unreleased song from a forgotten group and decide to steal it as their own. The song helps them finally gain the success and adoration they've always wanted... while also infecting them with a ghastly groupie.

New month, new horror recommendations from Deep Cuts Rising. This installment features five selections reflecting the month of October 2024.

Regardless of how they came to be here, or what they’re about, these past movies can generally be considered overlooked, forgotten or unknown.

Just as the members of Ladder 126 are trained to face any number of life-threatening emergencies, so too are the 9-1-1: Lone Star writers willing to tackle any plot-related challenges that befall them. For John Owen Lowe, whose first episode airs tonight (Fox, 8/7c), those challenges include potentially having to write a love scene for his own father.

“I was willing to cross that bridge if it came up,” Lowe admits to TVLine about tonight’s installment. And considering last week’s hour introduced Natalie Zea as Owen’s new love interest, it was a very real possibility. “Fortunately,...

Amazon Prime Video has acquired the first season of series “Russian Affairs” for distribution in Germany, France and the Netherlands, from Russia’s Start Studios.

The eight-part drama that follows the lives of Russia’s elite and those who aspire to that position is set in contemporary Moscow. Under the title “Gold Diggers,” the series was broadcast on Russia’s Start Ott platform in 2019 and generated more than 10 million viewers.

Daria Bondarenko, exec VP, international sales and co-oroductions, said: “The series lifts the lid on the bright lights of current Moscow, and the glamorous world of Russia’s wealthy society, where money, information, power, or beauty are the qualifications needed for entry, and illicit affairs are the norm.”

Start Studios is the production division of Russian independent studio Yellow, Black and White. In 2019, the company sold sci-fi series “Better Than Us” to Netflix. Other recent series from Yellow, Black and White include “Storm,...

Amy Poehler will now spend Sundays arguing with herself on national television. The former Parks and Recreation star is pulling double duty as the voices of teen slacker Duncan Harris and his mom Annie on Fox’s Duncanville, premiering tonight at 8:30/7:30c.

And Duncanville has been a long time coming; Poehler first texted now-executive producers Mike and Julie Scully about collaborating on an animated series back in 2016. “We tried to find something that wasn’t already part of the Fox Sunday night lineup,” the Scullys tell TVLine. “The teen characters aren’t that prevalent in the other shows,...
