The Masters of the Universe franchise has been around for decades, and it spawned a series of media, including action figures, television series, comic series, and feature films. Prime Video is set to turn the franchise into a new live-action movie.

With a premiere for 2026, the Masters of the Universe feature film has started shooting. The upcoming superhero film will have Nicholas Galitzine making his debut as a superhero star, who is set to play He-Man. As DeuxMoi revealed the first photos from the set in London, UK, fans also got the first look at Galitzine's shocking transformation at He-Man/ Prince Adam.

The Serpent star Tahar Rahim and Boiling Point’s Izuka Hoyle are leading Prisoner, the Sky thriller series from Matt Charman.

The pair are joined by Eddie Marsan (Back to Black, The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe), Catherine McCormack (Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, 28 Weeks Later), Leonie Benesch (September 5, Babylon Berlin), Finn Bennett (Black Doves, True Detective), Sam Troughton (Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, Black Doves), Laurie Davidson (The Girlfriend, Mary & George), Ken Nwosu (Black Doves, Sticks and Stones), Brían F. O’Byrne (Conclave, The Wonder) and Youssef Kerkour (Lockerbie: A Search For Truth).

Prisoner follows a principled young prison officer escorting a dangerous, high-value prisoner to court to testify against his elite crime syndicate. Throughout the journey, their relationship twists and turns, with the stakes escalating as the crime syndicate stops at nothing to track them down. Deadline revealed the project several weeks back from Charman, the...

Jeremy Allen White is attached to star in and executive produce a Netflix limited series adaptation of the André Aciman novel “Enigma Variations,” Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

The project is currently in development at the streamer. Should it move forward, this would be the second onscreen adaptation of one of Aciman’s novels. Previously, his novel “Call Me by Your Name” was turned into a critically-acclaimed film starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer with James Ivory writing and Luca Guadagnino directing. The film received four Oscar nominations upon its release, with Ivory winning for best adapted screenplay.

Amanda Kate Shuman is attached to serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner on “Enigma Variations,” with Oliver Hermanus set to direct and executive produce. Aciman will executive produce along with White, with Media Res producing. Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer will executive produce on behalf of Media Res.

Reps for Netflix declined to comment.

The nominations have been revealed for the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards, and one critically acclaimed LGBTQ+ film is notably absent from the pack of nominees.

The annual awards ceremony will return for a 36th year in 2025. According to GLAAD, it’s goal is to “recognize and honor fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of the LGBTQ community in an ever-expanding and media landscape.”

On Wednesday (January 22), the organization revealed the crop of nominees that would be honored at the ceremony. While projects such as Wicked and Queer were notably featured, Netflix’s Emilia Perez was left off the list.

The snub comes after GLAAD declared that the movie, which stars Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez and trans actress Karla Sofia Gascon, was “not good trans representation” in a November 2024 essay. The story included reviews from transgender film critics and noted that “inauthentic portrayals of trans people are offensive and even dangerous.”

The 2025 GLAAD Media Awards nominations have been revealed.

Wicked, Queer, Love Lies Bleeding, Mean Girls and My Old Ass are among the nominees in the outstanding film — wide theatrical release category.

Joining those three are Cuckoo, Drive-Away Dolls and Problemista.

GLAAD, the LGBTQ media advocacy organization, also announced nominees in TV, music, journalism, Broadway and podcast categories.

In the TV categories, notable nominees include comedy nominees Abbott Elementary, Ghosts, Hacks, Loot, The Sex Lives of College Girls, Shrinking, Somebody Somewhere and What We Do in the Shadows; drama nominees 9-1-1: Lone Star, The Chi, Doctor Who, Found, Interview With the Vampire, Star Trek: Discovery and The Umbrella Academy; new series nominees Agatha All Along, Black Doves, Brilliant Minds, How to Die Alone, No Good Deed and Palm Royale; and limited or anthology series nominees Baby Reindeer, Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, Expats, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, Get Millie Black,...

The nominations for the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards were announced on Wednesday, totaling more than 300 nominees from some of the year’s most talked-about series, films and TV programming.

“The GLAAD Media Awards were created nearly four decades ago to champion LGBTQ stories amid a deeply hostile and unsafe time for our community. Today, this mission holds true and ever-more important as attacks against LGBTQ people are not only growing, but finding new avenues,” GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. “Whether it’s rampant misinformation or defamation of transgender people, LGBTQ youth, or the...

GLAAD has unveiled the nominees for its 36th annual GLAAD Media Awards, with Variety securing two noms for outstanding print article (senior entertainment writer Adam B. Vary’s piece on Joe Locke) and magazine overall coverage.

Other nominees include “Wicked,” “Queer,” “Love Lies Bleeding,” “My Old Ass,” “Abbott Elementary,” “Hacks,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Fancy Dance,” “Mother of the Bride,” “Baby Reindeer,” “Selling Sunset,” “Queer Eye” and “Real Housewives of New York City.” There are a total of 318 nominees across 33 categories at this year’s Awards.

The GLAAD Media Awards is a yearly event that honors outstanding, accurate and inclusive representations of LGBTQ+ people and issues in film, television, gaming, publishing, stage productions, music, journalism and more.

“The GLAAD Media Awards were created nearly four decades ago to champion LGBTQ stories amid a deeply hostile and unsafe time for our community,” said GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis.

“Wicked,” “Queer,” “Mean Girls” and “My Old Ass” are among the movies that have been nominated as Outstanding Film at the 36th annual GLAAD Media Awards, which announced its nominations on Wednesday. Other nominated projects included “Cuckoo,” “Drive-Away Dolls,” “Love Lies Bleeding” and “Problemista.”

GLAAD, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer media advocacy organization, leaned heavily toward smaller independent films in its nominations, with “Wicked” and “Mean Girls” the most high-profile films in the top category. It did not nominate “Emilia Pérez,” the Netflix film about a Mexican drug lord (played by transgender actress Karla Sofía Gascón) who undergoes gender-affirming surgery.

Television nominees included “Abbott Elementary,” “Hacks,” “Loot” and “Shrinking” in the comedy category, “9-1-1: Lone Star,” “Arcane” and “Interview With the Vampire” in drama and “Agatha All Along,” “Diarra From Detroit” and “Palm Royale” in the Outstanding New Series category.

GLAAD also nominated documentaries, reality programs, children’s programming,...

We have the nominees for the 36th annual GLAAD Media Awards, which honor fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community in film, TV, music, videogames, podcasts, journalism and more.

But the noms don’t include one of the most talked-about films of 2024 or its trans star. More on that below.

Vying for the Outstanding Wide-Release Film prize are Cuckoo, Drive-Away Dolls, Love Lies Bleeding, Mean Girls, My Old Ass, Problemista, Queer and Wicked. Up for the Limited-Release Film award are 20,000 Species of Bees, Backspot, Before I Change My Mind, Big Boys, Close to You, Crossing, Fitting In, High Tide, Housekeeping for Beginners and A Place of Our Own.

Noticeably absent from the GLAAD noms is Jacques Audiard’s Oscar contender Emilia Pérez, which won the Golden Globe this month, and its trans star Karla Sofía Gascón, who also won a Globe and is...

Nicholas Galitzine is definitely one of the most in-demand actors of this generation. While he has been in the public eye since 2014, Galitzine rose to greater prominence in the years between 2020 and 2024, with starring roles from one project to another including in the romantic drama Purple Hearts, the absurd teen comedy Bottoms, the queer rom-com Red, White & Royal Blue, the romantic dramedy The Idea of You, and the historical drama series Mary & George. He can next be seen as He-Man in the Masters of the Universe reboot, which is set for a 2026 release. Speaking about the upcoming feature, Galitzine revealed that the Prime Video live-action adaptation will be "quite different" from the 1980s animated series, titled He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and the latest picture Nicholas Galitzine has shared on his Instagram is about to give all those naysayers who questioned his casting as He-Man in Mattel’s Masters of the Universe movie.

After taking a social media break the last few months, Galitzine returned on Instagram on Dec. 18 with a holiday shot posing by his Christmas tree but it wasn’t his holiday decorations that left fans speechless. In the new photo, Galitzine subtly showed off his insane transformation in preparation for filming the Amazon MGM original film which is slated to release on June 5, 2026.

While Galitzine has always been in incredible shape, one glance at the photo and it’s clear to see that Galitzine has been putting in the work to bulk up in order to play Mattel’s towering, muscular hero. Even hidden behind his casual sweatshirt, you...

Given the sheer volume of new shows released each month, it's unfortunately natural for some shows to slip through the cracks completely or fade away after having a minor moment. After one show pops, there's another one ready to take its place the next month — or even week!

Sometimes the circle of television life isn't kind to shows that should be much more popular and/or successful, and they remain underrated until they either build a cult following, fizzle out, or get canceled far too soon. The past year wasn't without its long list of shows that deserved more love.

It's no secret that 2024 was a huge year for television, on both the small screen and streaming. There were huge hits like Baby Reindeer, Presumed Innocent, Industry, Shōgun, House of the Dragon, High Potential, The Penguin, and so many shows that had everyone watching and talking.

But there were even...

“Anora,” the free-wheeling tale of a sex worker who becomes entangled with the family of a Russian oligarch, and “I Saw the TV Glow,” a horror film about two teenagers whose obsession with a show causes them to lose grip on reality, dominated the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards nominations on Wednesday, picking up six nods apiece. Both movies are up for best feature, competing against the body horror film, “The Substance,” as well as “Nickel Boys” and “Sing Sing,” dramas that deal with different aspects of the criminal justice system.

This year the Spirit Awards Film nominating committees said the movies it considered ranged in budget from $112,000 to $28 million. Those budgetary caps don’t apply to the shows that the Spirits recognized, such as “Shōgun,” a lavish historical epic that topped all series with five nominations, including one for best new scripted series. To be eligible, TV shows only have to...

Gugu Mbatha-Raw (“Surface”) will star opposite Jonny Lee Miller (“Covenant”), Sheldon Shepherd (“Bob Marley: One Love”) and Bel Powley (“The Morning Show”) in “Inheritance,” a Sky Original thriller from Karla Crome (“Carnival Row”).

Set in Bristol, U.K. and Jamaica, “Inheritance” is a five-part limited event series tackling the enduring legacy of colonialism. Soon entering production, the mini-series is directed by Storm Saulter (“Sprinter”) and produced by Snowed-In Productions, in association with Sky Studios.

Mbatha-Raw stars as Claudia, an ambitious young bi-racial lawyer who embarks on a journey to Jamaica to challenge an inheritance claim filed by an unknown local resident, Cudjoe East (Sheldon Shepherd), against Oliver Connaught (Jonny Lee-Miller), a wealthy white aristocrat.

Claudia’s “quest takes an unexpected turn when the contested estate reveals the ominous house that has haunted her nightmares: the Connaught family’s Jamaican plantation, Hope Hill. As Claudia and Oliver investigate, they uncover a...

Trying to find historical romances on cable can be a bit of an exhausting affair. These shows can be few and far between, and signing up for a pay-tv package that costs $80 per month or more to try and find them is an inefficient process, at best. On-demand streaming services are much better for fans who love historical romances and want to watch on their own schedule, and I’ve assembled a bundle of three services below that will bring you a great lineup of such titles for just $26 per month.

The Mary & George true story reveals just how little the Starz show had to change to create a shocking and scandal-filled narrative that made the series such a hit. The 2024 drama draws from the 2017 book The Kings Assassin by Benjamin Woolley. Despite the many jaw-dropping moments in Mary & George, The Kings Assassin isnt a work of fiction. Its a carefully researched historical analysis of the lives (and deaths) of the real Mary and George Villiers, the Countess and Duke of Buckingham in 17th-century England.

Much like the source material, Mary & George exposes just how scandalous, dangerous, and (often) steamy life really could be for British aristocrats who moved in the royal court during the era of King James VI and I, the son of Mary, Queen of Scots. Theres plenty of violence and sexual content in the Starz show. However, as the Mary & George true story reveals, very little...

As we move closer to the end of 2024, now is the perfect time to look back at some of the worst shows of the year. It has been a fruitful year for TV watchers, particularly those who prefer to stream their series. We’ve seen an interesting mix of new shows and the anticipated return of old favorites. Still, this doesn’t mean they have all been winners.

Before we share which shows have been the most disappointing, let’s give recognition to some of the many series we’ve enjoyed the most. At the top of my list, I have Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent, Prime Video’s Fallout, and Hulu’s The Bear season 3. I know Netflix’s Baby Reindeer also received a lot of attention, as well as the returning Prime Video favorite, The Boys with season 4. Which shows have made it to your favorites list so far?...

It was no small feat to get “Saturday Night Live” off the ground at NBC, and as a result, the cast of “Saturday Night” is pretty huge. In many cases, the actors also look eerily similar to the people they’re playing.

Hitting theaters everywhere on Oct. 11 after a limited theatrical release in New York and Los Angeles, Jason Reitman’s “Saturday Night” tells the story of the 90 minutes right before the first-ever episode of “SNL.” It’s chaotic and at the time, even Lorne Michaels couldn’t explain what the show was going to be.

Below, you’ll find the cast of “Saturday Night” alongside what their real-life counterparts looked like back then.

Lorne Michaels is the creator and, to this day, producer of “Saturday Night Live.” He’s played in “Saturday Night” by Gabriel Labelle, who had his breakout role in Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans.

Fresh off the premiere of its new Fox drama “Murder in a Small Town,” Jeff Wachtel’s Future Shack Entertainment shingle is ramping up its development slate — next via a first-look pact with Daily Beast chief content officer Joanna Coles. Future Shack and Coles have multiple projects in development, including a take on MSNBC anchor Katy Tur’s memoir “Rough Draft.”

Wachtel and Coles are also shopping the drama “Base Camp,” which looks at the crowded — and dangerous — queue to get to the top of Mt. Everest. Playwright and screenwriter Anchuli Felicia King is the scribe behind that project.

Additionally, Future Shack and Coles have two more scripts in the works at 20th Television. Coles, who was previously chief content officer at Hearst, was the inspiration for the Freeform drama “The Bold Type,” which she also executive produced. “She’s a phenomenal producer, but primarily a magazine editor and tastemaker,...

In honor of Nicholas Galitzine‘s 30th birthday on September 29, 2024, let’s celebrate his fashion style by revisiting many of his red carpet looks in our new photo gallery (see below). The English actor achieved super-stardom when he appeared in Prime Video’s 2023 telefilm “Red, White & Royal Blue,” which received an Emmy nomination for Best TV Movie. A sequel to the queer romantic comedy has been ordered, with Galitzine returning as Prince Henry and Taylor Zakhar Perez back as First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz.

Galitzine is also known for playing Jeff in “Bottoms” (2023), Luke in “Purple Hearts” (2022) and Prince Robert in “Cinderella” (2021). More recently, the actor starred as George Villiers in “Mary & George” (2024) and as Hayes Campbell in “The Idea of You” (2024). The red carpet photos below depict him at premieres, events and receptions for some of these heralded projects.

According to his biography, the actor’s full name...

Ever since he appeared in the Netflix original movie "Purple Hearts" in 2022, British actor Nicholas Galitzine has become a major breakout star ... but that doesn't mean he aced all of his early auditions. In fact, he says one of those auditions was so awful that he still cringes just thinking about it.

During a roundtable with The Hollywood Reporter in June 2024 — which also featured Jon Hamm ("Fargo"), Matt Bomer ("Fellow Travelers"), Clive Owen ("A Murder at the End of the World"), Callum Turner ("Masters of the Air"), and David Oyelowo ("Lawmen: Bass Reeves") — Galitzine and his contemporaries started talking about auditions, and despite being one of the youngest performers at the table, Galitzine had a lot to say. After the others shared some stories, THR brought up Galitzine's recent film "The Idea of You" and the fact that his co-star Anne Hathaway said he could have "chemistry with a lamp,...

Adar has been recast in The Rings of Power season 2, and the actor change might leave viewers wondering why Joseph Mawle is no longer portraying the character. Adar is a character original to The Rings of Power, and he plays a fairly mysterious role throughout season 1. It's later revealed that he's one of the Elves who was tortured by Morgoth. And The Rings of Power season 2 shows how he tried to kill Sauron, preventing him from reigning over the Orcs. This is why the Orcs call him "father," and it's why they help him conquer the Southlands.

Mawle plays Adar impressively in The Rings of Power season 1, conveying the villain's bitterness over his past and compassion for the Orcs with ease. The actor's performance makes Adar a compelling character, even though he's an antagonist. After Mawle's stint as Benjen Stark in Game of Thrones, it's no surprise the actor fit...

The live-action version of Masters of the Universe locked Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man in May after being stuck in development hell for years. The film adaptation found a home at Amazon MGM Studios after both Sony and Netflix passed over the film. The latest update from the film has confirmed Riverdale fame Camila Mendes in the role of Teela, the Captain of the Royal Guard.

Fans are not happy with the casting in the series as both actors have no major action projects nor do they have a massive box office appeal. The film brought in Travis Knight of Kubo and the Two Strings fame as the director. The script is being written by Chris Butler.

In the third episode of the Starz limited series “Mary & George,” Julianne Moore’s Mary, Countess of Buckingham, who is hell-bent on amassing power among the royal ranks, makes her first visit to the court of King James I (Tony Curran). When she arrives in a garish purple silk gown, her face painted a ghastly white and cheeks crudely rouged like a clown, the courtiers point and laugh. Absorbing their scornful looks, she makes her way to Lady Hatton, a formidable adversary played by Nicola Walker, who quips, “Who dressed you? A prostitute?”

Well, yes, in fact.

The trend of streamers bundling together to increase value and engagement continues.

The Great Bundling Craze is continuing to sweep across the streaming landscape. The biggest streamers in the marketplace like Netflix, Disney+, Max, Hulu, and others have all joined new bundles in 2024, and now smaller streamers are getting in on the trend. As part of its quarterly earnings report on Thursday, Lionsgate Entertainment announced that it was adding its direct-to-consumer service Starz to a new streaming bundle with BritBox, which should make its way to customers by the end of 2024.

The “House of the Dragon” Season 2 finale gave viewers a sneak peek at Prince Daeron Targaryen, and we’ll be seeing a lot more of the as-of-now-unseen third brother when the “Game of Thrones” spin-off series returns.

The final moments of Season 2 Episode 8 delivered a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it glimpse at Daeron’s blue dragon named Tessarion, and showrunner Ryan Condal confirmed in a Monday press conference that fans will officially meet Daeron in Season 3, which is slated to begin filming in early 2025.

If you need a refresher on who Dareon is, he is the fourth child and third son of Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and Viserys (Paddy Considine), though he has not been depicted on screen thus far in “House of the Dragon.” His existence was confirmed in Season 2, when Otto (Rhys Ifans) mentions traveling down to Oldtown, where he says Dareon was living. In Season 2, Gwayne Hightower describes Dareon as a...

Outlander‘s spinoff Outlander: Blood of My Blood is crossing over with the flagship series in some fun behind-the-scenes photos, particularly in the form of a Fraser family photo.

With several Emmys stalwarts not eligible for nominations this year, it was expected that there would be a number of surprises among the 2024 Emmy nominations.

But while some series and stars broke through, other anticipated nominees from new shows didn’t fare as well as they’d hoped.

Despite a big awards push, Showtime’s The Curse failed to receive any Emmy nominations, with star Emma Stone among the awards hopefuls not nominated. Similarly, the Nicole Kidman-fronted Expats for Amazon’s Prime Video was also left out of this year’s nominations. And HBO’s The Regime only earned one nod, for its costumes, leaving stars Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant snubbed.

Other acclaimed actors who failed to receive nominations include Kelsey Grammer, not nominated for his Frasier revival after the original series was a regular Emmy winner; Abbott Elementary supporting players William Stanford Davis and Chris Perfetti; The Gilded Age...
