Page-to-screen adaptations have been popular for eons now, but it feels like the turnaround window keeps getting shorter and shorter. The latest BookTok phenom to make the jump is Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, the best-selling 2022 novel by Gabrielle Zevin. If you’re reading this and thinking, ‘huh, two years…

This was a pretty huge week for casting news. Glenn Close and Henry Winkler are working on a comedy together, Zach Cregger’s Weapons added Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, and more to its already stacked cast, and Missy Elliott joined Pharrell Williams’ still-untitled coming-of-age musical. Beyond that, films continue…

Spotify has been on a crusade against Apple, which continued on Friday with renewed complaints about the tech giant’s “anticompetitive” behavior. “Apple’s anticompetitive practices harm competitors and result in higher prices, lower product quality, and less choice,” the music streaming service posted to social media.…

As far back as they can remember, Prom Dates’ Hannah (Julia Lester) and Jess (Ginny & Georgia’s Antonia Gentry) always wanted to have a spectacular senior prom. At 13, the two even went as far as to make a blood pact, swearing that they would do whatever it took to make the fateful night one to remember.

Kevin Spacey may be attempting to chart a sordid Hollywood comeback right now, but a new docuseries from the U.K.’s Channel 4 is hoping to remind people who he really is—like we could ever forget. Spacey Unmasked promises to take a “forensic look” at the disgraced actor’s rise in the industry and subsequent alleged…

The new Tiffany Haddish profile in The Los Angeles Times covers a lot of ground—past trauma, sexual assault, sobriety, infertility, and more—but nothing will raise eyebrows more than Haddish’s admission that she occasionally calls up her haters. This comes after she claims she’s “working with a therapist to learn how…

Sometimes when the chips are down and you’ve lost some shine stateside, the best thing to do is return to your roots. For James Corden, that doesn’t just mean going back to the United Kingdom. It means reviving his popular sitcom Gavin & Stacey one last time. Having finished his U.S. talk show The Late Late Show With…

Netflix announced the premiere date for Emily In Paris season four today, and—who woulda thunk!—it’s actually two premiere dates. While two for the price of one is usually a great deal, this is kind of worst-case scenario. Netflix keeps splitting its seasons into two—and sometimes even three—parts, and we’re incredibly…

“This is not the truth; it’s a narrative,” an anonymous, masked friend warns Jerrod Carmichael about his HBO series in the premiere, calling it “exhibitionist.” And it’s true because Jerrod Carmichael Reality Showis an irrefutable vanity project. The show, which airs its finale on May 17, is equally awkward and…

Every Friday, A.V. Club staffers kick off the weekend by taking a look at the world of gaming, diving in to the ideas that underpin the hobby we love with a bit of Game Theory. We’ll sound off in the space above, and invite you to respond down in the comments, telling us what you’re playing this weekend, and what…

For those of us who are smarter than Homer Simpson, horror movies have taught us a very important lesson: If anyone warns you against interacting with something because it’s cursed or haunted, just back away. Doesn’t matter if you believe in it or not. Just play it safe, and you won’t end up at the mercy of an evil…

“Frustrating” is a word that came to mind a lot while watching Tarot, the new horror film from directors Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg based on Nicholas Adams’ 1992 novel Horrorscope. For one thing, it’s frustrating that the studio decided to change the film’s title from the much more fun Horrorscope to simply Tarot,…

Welcome to the weekend edition of What’s On. Here are the big things happening on TV from Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 5. All times are Eastern. [Note: The weekly edition of What’s On publishes on Sundays.]

The Hacks season-three premiere gave us everything we wanted when it reunited star-crossed collaborators Deborah and Ava in a hotel elevator. And now that we’ve had our appetizer, we’re eager for the main course. Thankfully, the writers don’t keep us waiting. The aptly titled “Better Late” is a propulsive half hour of…

Few directors have devoted themselves more thoroughly to horror in the modern era than Mike Flanagan. Primarily in TV (but with occasional forays into film, like 2019 Stephen King adaptation Doctor Sleep), Midnight Mass creator Flanagan has exhibited a commitment to the genre that’s genuinely admirable, crafting ghost…

Let’s start with this: Fire Country is already a pretty bad name for a TV show. Besides setting you up for potential Avatar: The Last Airbender jokes from pitiless nerds—i.e., “We were having a good night watching TV until the Fire Country attacked”—it’s also just a little on the nose. What do they do in Fire Country?…

Jerry Seinfeld has never been a great actor. He’d agree that surrounding himself with comedic performers like Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus made his sitcom sing more than his acting chops. So, why he decided not only to star in but also direct Unfrosted, a lighter-than-air 96-minute Super Bowl commercial for…

Drew Barrymore’s transition from movie star to TV star has been a strange and chaotic one, to say the least, with lots of oddball bumps in the road along the way. Some of these divots have been fun—we’ll never forget the time she effused, for like 10 minutes of actual broadcast television, about her love of removing…

Whatever blood has been coursing through the veins of CBS procedural Blue Bloods these last 15 years has run dry. Per Deadline, the series, which has run for more than 275 episodes, is definitely coming to an end this December. Well, until a streamer picks it up for another six episodes of “Blue Bloods: Legacy.” CBS…
