BBC Studios have formed a new division for U.K. entertainment to be headed by Suzy Lamb, Variety has learned.

The new unit comes after Studios, the BBC’s commercial arm which produces content sold around the world, merged its entertainment/music and factual entertainment/events divisions, which produced content including the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, King Charles III’s coronation party and shows such as “Strictly Come Dancing” and “The Weakest Link.”

By splitting off U.K. entertainment the aim is to allow Lamb and her team to focus on the development/production/format sales pipeline more efficiently. Lamb, who was previously managing director of the entertainment and music unit, will oversee creative, commercial and operational strategy. She will report to Matt Forde, head of BBC Studios’ global entertainment business.

Among the shows the new U.K. division will produce are the BBC’s Glastonbury coverage, “Strictly Come Dancing” and “Alison Hammond’s Big Weekend.

Every year, the Television Academy’s Emmy nominations honor hundreds of individuals , dozens of shows and inspire enough material for a week’s worth of trend pieces. Sorting through it all is daunting, which is why Variety TV critics Alison Herman and Aramide Tinubu convened to give their big-picture thoughts on the nominations , from breakout shows to the larger forces shaping the field.

Alison Herman: Aramide, this was always going to be a weird year for the Emmys — after all, the last Emmys happened just six months ago! That January ceremony had been delayed by Hollywood’s historic dual strikes, which also pushed several awards-staple series outside this year’s eligibility window. Throw in the power vacuum left behind by “Succession” wrapping its run and you have a relatively blank slate. Given the Academy’s propensity to rally around just a handful of favorites each year, á la “Ted Lasso,...

Everything's fair in love and war, and romance as a genre often pushes boundaries. Love is a part of almost every show genre, be it fantasy, drama, or suspense, and fans enjoy watching these love stories play out over seasons. However, even the most beloved romances on TV can be questionable, mainly because the people involved in these entanglements make controversial decisions.

Some have good intentions, but their actions play out in poor form. Others tend to have nefarious intentions from the beginning, but their characters are compelling for audiences to watch. From You to House of the Dragon, these romantic interests were popular but controversial.

It’s easy to forgive a lot in a romance if the chemistry is strong enough, and for the first couple episodes of Apple TV+’s Liaison, the sparks between Eva Green’s Alison and Vincent Cassel’s Gabriel seem reason enough to forge ahead. It hardly matters if we don’t really understand the international conspiracy that’s reunited these estranged exes, or that we don’t yet understand what transpired between them all those years ago. The smolder between them draws us in, even when all they’re doing is exchanging a wordless gaze through a rain-splattered window.

But without enough fuel to ignite a blaze, smolder is about as far as it gets. By the time Liaison stumbles to a close, whatever flickers of promise it showed early on have long since been stamped out by indifferent storytelling and a bloated run time.

Another Pixar movie is skipping a theatrical release and heading straight to streaming: Turning Red will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on Friday, March 11.

The film centers around Mei Lee (voiced by Rosalie Chiang), “a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence,” per the official synopsis. “Her protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming (Sandra Oh), is never far from her daughter — an unfortunate reality for the teenager. And as if changes to her interests, relationships and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited (which is practically always), she ‘poofs’ into a giant red panda!

Happy birthday to Linda Ronstadt’s New Wave album Mad Love, released 40 years ago, in March 1980. It’s the weirdest oddity in her catalog, with three Elvis Costello covers.
