The TV years are just flying by at this point. For some of us, it feels like only yesterday we were watching Succession take home precisely every award at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards. For others, yesterday might as well have been the airing of the Red Wedding on Game of Thrones. And for some incomprehensibly ancient creatures, we … I mean they fondly recall watching the Lost finale in their college dorm. The point is that things move fast on television. If you don’t slow down for a minute, you might miss all of it.
So let’s slow down to appreciate the best TV has had to offer in 2024 so far. From stunning new miniseries dramas like FX’s Shōgun to unexpected animated delights like Disney+’s X-Men ‘97 to reliable comedies like Max’s Hacks, there was plenty to love this year. To be eligible, a show...

When Donald Glover first approached showrunner Francesca Sloane about adapting “Mr. & Mrs. Smtih” for Amazon Prime, she “started laughing,” and thought it was a “weird Donald Glover joke that he randomly spit out.” She was confused as to why he would pick the 2005 action-comedy of all movies, but as the conversation evolved, the project began taking shape in her mind.
“We discussed why people get married, what is it like to fight for somebody, how would it be to take this big blockbuster hit and use our sensibilities of quiet moments and filter that throughout the series,” Sloane explained. “And also, what is it like to have a woman run and write this show in such a masculine-charged genre? So, it started to sound like something that made sense to us.”
As part of Variety’s A Night in The Writers’ Room, Sloane was joined by showrunner and creator of “Average Joe” Robb Cullen,...

Blade Runner 2099 has officially cast Hunter Schafer in a co-lead role.
We recently learned that Michelle Yeoh had signed on to play one of the two female leads in Prime Video's sci-fi series, and Variety has now confirmed a recent rumor that The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes star is set to join her.
The trade doesn't share any official plot or character details, but according to reliable insider Daniel Richtman - who broke the news of Schafer's casting last week - the Cuckoo and Euphoria star looks set to play Cora.
The previously-released plot synopsis revealed a little about this character (could she be a former Blade Runner?), who will join forces with a Replicant named Olwen (Yeoh).

Welcome to Emmy Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Emmy race — via Slack, of course. This week, with ballots out and voting underway, we’re taking a look at drama.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! Emmy voting is happening right now and we’re here to continue the conversation we started Thursday about the 2024 ballots — this time focused exclusively on the drama categories. No big surprises here, unless you count Alexander Skarsgard not being submitted for guest actor on “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” a “big surprise,” but this year’s submissions helped clarify that the race is really simply a battle between three shows with one huge frontrunner well ahead. In fact, as you mathed out for us, if “Shōgun” hadn’t moved here from the limited series race, the drama lead acting races would be stuck with...

For all the attention paid to acting races, the writing categories are equally competitive — if not more so. Among the contenders, there are two shows, one in drama and the other in the comedy category, with especially strong episodes worthy of consideration. The second season of FX’s “The Bear,” competing for the comedy trophy, overflowed with compelling storytelling, but only one episode, titled “Fishes,” was submitted. On the drama side, FX’s “Shōgun” was strong over the course of 10 episodes. However, the premiere, “Anjin,” is impossible to ignore.
Here, senior awards editor Clayton Davis and TV critic Alison Herman make the argument for each.

Ah, Emmy season. Does it ever end? The answer is a decisive “no” when it comes to 2024, considering we’ve already held one ceremony and are gamely preparing for a second. So many shows, so many artists, so many choices.
Fear not TV Academy voter. Yes, Emmy ballots are overwhelming. No, it’s not possible to lay discerning eyes on every candidate. But your trusty TV critic is here to help. At the cost of my friendships, physical health, and basic sanity, I’ve spent untold hours watching as much current television as humanly possible, from the highest achievements of imagination to the lowest embarrassments of our middling TV era. Now, I pass that experience onto you, via IndieWire’s 2024 Emmy Nominations Dream Ballot — a guide for voters (and reminder for casual viewers) as to what’s worth honoring among the thinning but still dense TV landscape.

During Tuesday’s Emmys For Your Consideration event, the team behind FX’s hit series Shōgun reflected on the first season and teased what’s ahead. With the announcement that both second and third seasons are in the works, excitement is building as the series moves beyond the confines of James Clavell’s original novel. Plotting Ahead for Season Two Co-creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo have been deep into development since December, though not without challenges. Marks humorously noted they are at the arguing stage of development, while Kondo emphasized the creative chaos:No, there’s...

Ever since “Shōgun” made the move to drama series categories at the Emmys, “Fargo” has enjoyed the lead in our racetrack odds for Best Limited Series based on the combined predictions of Gold Derby users. But another contender has emerged, and now “Fargo’s” lead doesn’t look so secure. “Baby Reindeer” is on the way up.
Inspired by real events in the life of writer-actor Richard Gadd, “Baby Reindeer” tells the story of a struggling comedian who becomes the target of an increasingly desperate stalker (Jessica Gunning). It’s now one of the top 10 most watched English-language Netflix programs of all time. And it’s a darling of TV journalists, scoring 88 on MetaCritic and cleaning up in the Television Critics Association nominations. So perhaps it’ll be like another recent Netflix limited series, “Beef,” which went from watercooler hit to awards juggernaut.

It’s June 13, 2024, and you know what that means: Emmy voting is underway. But more importantly, we’ve got ballots. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to break down the surprising inclusions and omissions on the ballots.
The topline news is that we’re losing spots in a bunch of categories due to a decline in submissions. Last year, the comedy supporting categories went from eight slots to seven, and they’re losing another one this year to go down to six. Tough break for fringe contenders looking to get into two categories that will have most of the slots taken by performers from “The Bear,” “Abbott Elementary” and Hacks.” Meanwhile, the drama lead categories scraped by to retain six slots — all thanks to “Shōgun.” Because of its double lead actor submissions for Hiroyuki Sanada and Cosmo Jarvis, the category has 81 entries, the minimum for six slots.

After weeks of FYC events and relentless campaigning from studios, voting for the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations has officially begun, with Television Academy members holding ballots in hand.
Nearly 24,000 industry professionals, divided among 31 professional peer groups, sit among the organization’s ranks, each member voting on specific categories. However, every eligible voter can cast a ballot in the top 15 series races: comedy, drama, limited or anthology, television movie, talk, variety special (live), variety special (pre-recorded), short form (comedy/drama/variety), short form (nonfiction/reality), hosted nonfiction, structured reality, unstructured reality, reality competition, scripted variety and game show.
According to TV Academy rules, the number of nominees is determined by the number of submissions. However, drama and comedy series are designated for eight shows each to make the final cut. There were 229 total series submitted in the drama, comedy, and limited or anthology series categories, compared to 309 last year, marking a 33% decrease.

Although director Charlotte Brändström only helmed one episode of FX’s “Shogun,” she was determined for the episode titled “Tomorrow Is Tomorrow” to fit into the arc of the whole season. To that end, she asked to read the scripts for the entire season, based on the epic historical novel by James Clavell. “It was like reading the book all over again,” she says. “I look into what’s been done before, but then each episode has its own life. You have to create a new life for everything.”
In putting her own stamp on the episode, Brändström used tight close-ups of the actors’ faces so that the audience would be more engaged in the interior lives of the characters. “”I knew that the second part of my episode was going to be this big battle in the woods and the ships racing against each other,” she explains. “So in order to be interested,...

Succession is gone and that will make a lot of these other Outstanding Drama Series contenders breathe a little easier this year.
Despite that Emmy juggernaut now being out of the way, the category nevertheless is offering up a lot of intrigue, giving Deadline Executive Editor and Chief TV Critic Dominic Patten and Deadline Awards Columnist and Chief Film Critic Pete Hammond a lot to chew on in this week’s TV Talk podcast.
Especially chewy is the last-minute maneuver by FX to announce two more seasons of Shōgun, what was thought to be a limited series; as all the speculation started boiling up, the network confirmed the series would instead be submitted to the Emmys as a Drama Series. There can be no doubt that...

With Emmy voting underway, Gold House has released its inaugural Gold List honoring Asian creatives in television.
This marks an expansion for the organization, which in the past has championed Asian excellence and creatives in film.
FX’s “Shōgun” dominated with wins for outstanding series, lead performance (Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada), directing and editing and received honorable mentions of supporting performances from Fumi Nikaido, Moeka Hoshi and Tadanobu Asano.
“Expats” and “The Sympathizer” both received the second-highest number of accolades. Other television shows and movies that were honored on the Gold List include “3 Body Problem,” “Invincible,” “Love in Taipei,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” “Under the Bridge” and “World’s Best.”
In a statement, star and producer of “Shōgun” Sanada said, “I am deeply honored to be selected in the inaugural TV Gold List for my role in ‘Shōgun.’ This recognition is particularly special as it marks the beginning of...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has more A-list actors than any other major franchise in Hollywood, making stars of newcomers such as Simu Liu, Sebastian Stan, and Tom Holland while also weaving in veterans such as Robert Redford, Samuel L. Jackson, and Cate Blanchett. The sheer amount of talent on display across the MCU’s many movies and TV shows means that, naturally, the MCU has its fingers in every awards show pie. In other awards, you’ll always find an MCU alum or two nominated at any major awards ceremony. So, speaking of that, here are eight MCU actors past and present we think will be nominated for an Emmy this year.
Donald Glover — “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”
Okay, so admittedly Glover isn’t the first name you think of when you conjure up MCU actors, but he did feature in a scene with Holland’s Spider-Man in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” as Aaron Davis,...

As the voting period for the 76th Emmys opened on Thursday, Gold House debuted its inaugural Gold List, intended to honor outstanding recent achievements in television by Asian creatives.
FX’s Shōgun dominated across categories, winning for Outstanding Series, Outstanding Lead Performance (Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada), Outstanding Directing, and Outstanding Writing, while at the same time receiving honorable mentions for the supporting performances of Fumi Nikaido, Moeka Hoshi, and Tadanobu Asano.

Since The Last Update
With the start of Emmy nominations voting arriving on Thursday, campaigning has been happening everywhere, at least in and around Los Angeles.
In recent days, one could find top-tier contenders on FYC panels (Jon Stewart and the other hosts of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show flew out from New York for theirs) and roundtables (check out THR’s), at the Ross House in Mt. Olympus (even campaigning-averse Donald Glover of Mr. and Mrs. Smith showed up), at the races (Sebastian Maniscalco promoted Max’s Bookie at the Santa Anita track) and even on pizza boxes (ABC is pushing Abbott Elementary to consumers of Prime Pizza).
Many chose this moment to share positive news about their contender — for instance, Apple announced the renewal of Palm Royale for a second season. Others, curiously, elected this moment to drop bad news about their contender — HBO/Max announced the cancellation of Tokyo Vice,...

[This story contains spoilers for season one of Shōgun season one.]
While celebrating season one of Shōgun at an Emmys For Your Consideration event on Tuesday, the team behind the hit FX series gave a few hints at what the future of the show may look like.
Last month, it was announced that second and third seasons are in development, expanding the story past its original limited series format. That expansion will see the show move beyond the James Clavell book that inspired the series and was entirely covered in season one.
Co-creator Justin Marks said he and fellow creator Rachel Kondo (who are married) have been plotting ahead on a potential season two since December and joked they are at the “arguing” stage of development.
“And shooting down each other’s ideas,” Kondo added. “No, there’s a lot of chaos but creative chaos, where we’re throwing everything that we have at the wall, seeing what sticks.

It’s a late April afternoon when Shōgun breakout star Anna Sawai, who stars as the fierce Lady Toda Mariko in the gorgeously wrought, sharply modernized adaptation of James Clavell’s 1975 bestseller, spots castmate Tadanobu Asano and producer-star Hiroyuki Sanada across a studio floor. Her face lights up. It hasn’t even been a week since FX’s runaway hit historical drama ended its debut season on a breathtaking note of bittersweet catharsis, having enthralled viewers over 10 episodes with its sweeping saga of survival and sacrifice in 17th Century Japan. But as the rising actress reunites with her Shōgun co-stars, a new charge of electricity crackles in the air.
Mariko-sama, Lord Yoshii Toranaga, and the impish schemer Kashigi Yabushige, together again in another life. The trio has traveled from far-flung cities to mark a groundbreaking moment in which Shōgun is setting sail for a new destination: the Emmys.

Peter Dinklage became a force to be reckoned with at the Emmys during his tenure as Tyrion Lannister in HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” with the actor winning four wins from eight nominations. The cast of “Game of Thrones” was so good, however, that many of them are still Emmys forces even after the show ended and they’ve moved on to different projects. Let’s take a look at the “Game of Thrones” alumni who could compete at this year’s Emmys.
Jonathan Pryce — “The Crown” and “Slow Horses”
Another “Thrones” guest actor who deserved some awards attention for his magnetic turn as the High Sparrow; he was one of the show’s most hissable villains. Now, he’s in line for a Drama Supporting Actor bid for portraying Prince Phillip in “The Crown.” Pryce’s Prince Phillip is more of a supporting player in the show than Matt Smith‘s version was,...

When audiences meet the character of Yabushige in FX’s “Shōgun,” they see him boil a man alive just to listen for the moment of his death. In plain terms, Yabushige is a villain. But his portrayer, Tadanobu Asano, believes that Yabushige doesn’t see himself as the bad guy, which may be why the character quickly became a fan favorite. “I felt that he doesn’t notice that he’s bad,” says the actor in an exclusive chat with Gold Derby. “To him, it’s just him living his life and to him that’s normal. So that was the intention. It think that’s why people are so drawn to him.” Watch our video interview above.
Yabushige spends much of the season shifting his loyalties towards whomever can benefit him the most. Asano describes the character as always pushing the boundaries to see what he can get away with.

Even with its entire storyline adapted in a single season, Game of Thrones rival Shōgun has been an effortless masterpiece so far, loved by fans from all around the globe. As incredibly immersive as its entire storyline was, it was also filled with heartbreaks along the way.
For instance, Anna Sawai’s character Toda Mariko’s death scene was one of the most heart-wrenching events of the story.

That said, fans inevitably want her to return to the saga, now that the series is reportedly being revived for a second and third season.
And, as it turns out, Sawai just may return through an epic Game of Thrones twist that brought one other fan-favorite character from the GoT lore back from the dead after killing him off. That is, if the creators decide to take that stream.

Since premiering on May 31 (the exact cutoff date for 76th Emmys eligibility), HBO’s “The Great Lillian Hall” has become an undeniably strong contender in this year’s wide-open Best TV Movie race. In the past week alone, its Gold Derby program category odds jumped from 40/1 to 18/1 while lead and supporting cast members Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates both moved closer to predicted nominee status.
“The Great Lillian Hall” has found some of its greatest support among our team of in-house editors, more than half of whom are officially on board with it and Lange being nominated. Bates – who held 100/1 general odds until last Thursday and now sits at 62/1 – is on track to at least crack said subgroup’s movie/limited supporting actress lineup very soon.
Our editors’ consensus picks have indeed changed quite a bit in the last week, with the most noticeable developments involving newly predicted winners Richard Gadd and Claire Foy.

One year after “Everything Everywhere All at Once” became the third film to ever merit three acting Oscars, the recipients of those trophies all have their sights set on Emmy glory. As candidates in three separate 2024 races, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ke Huy Quan are headed for an exciting reunion that could very well lead to one or more of them winning the TV academy’s favor in September.
Curtis, whose Oscar victory caught more predictors by surprise than those of her two cast mates, is now the strongest Emmy contender of the three according to our racetrack odds. Indeed, her guest stint as alcoholic mother Donna Berzatto on the FX comedy series “The Bear” is widely expected to bring her her first Emmy win, even in the face of formidable opponents from the same show (like Olivia Colman and Sarah Paulson) and returning champion Maya Rudolph (“Saturday Night Live...

X-men '97 Scores TCA Nomination For Outstanding New Program Alongside Shogun, Ripley & Baby Reindeer

The Television Critics Association announced their picks for the best shows of the 2023-2024 TV season on Monday, and in a pleasantly surprising development, Marvel Studios' recent Disney+ series, X-Men '97, picked up two significant nominations.
The animated revival scored nominations for Outstanding New Program and Outstanding Achievement in Family Programming.
Though X-Men '97 proved to be a big hit with fans and critics alike, it's rare that an animated series - and a superhero animated series at that - would receive any TCA recognition, especially outside of the Children's Programming category.
What are the mutant heroes' chances of picking up the win? Well, the show is up against some heavy hitters such as Shōgun, Baby Reindeer and Ripley, so, fittingly, they are the underdogs here.

Beau DeMayo’s relationship with X-Men ’97 has certainly been an interesting one. Even though the writer and creator was heavily involved in making the series as good as it is, he was fired by Marvel Studios ahead of its premiere. Despite this, he has been very vocal in interviews and on social media about the series in the best ways possible.

He has revealed behind-the-scenes information to fans, mentioned the intentions behind certain decisions in the show, and even talked about the next season. Even though he was fired from the series, he continued to treat it as the passion project that it was for him.
Knowing this, it is not surprising that he would comment when the show hits a serious achievement in the world of Hollywood.

Shōgun music duo Atticus Ross and Nick Chuba joined Deadline’s Sound & Screen Television live-music event to discuss reutilizing archaic styles of music for the FX series.
Based on James Clavell’s novel, Shōgun is set in Japan in the year 1600 at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him. When a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village, its English pilot John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) comes bearing secrets that could help Toranaga tip the scales of power and devastate the formidable influence of Blackthorne’s own enemies: the Jesuit priests and Portuguese merchants.
Toranaga’s and Blackthorne’s fates become inextricably tied to their translator, Toda Mariko (Anna Sawai), a mysterious Christian noblewoman and the last of a disgraced line. While serving her lord amidst this fraught political landscape,...

Hiroyuki Sanada’s Shōgun has earned itself the reputation of being a great TV series, especially for bringing a fresher perspective to the current age, where remakes and adaptations are gaining a detested reputation. The show is an adaptation of James Clavell’s novel from 1975 of the same name. The series’ dedication to being true to the source material garnered it a massive fan following.

Needless to say, as soon as the series hit the screens, it surpassed all expectations, becoming one of the biggest conversation topics and a sensation overnight. Even though the original miniseries was breathtaking in every sense, shooting some of those scenes was not easy. The show’s cinematographer opens up how one of the initial scenes of Shōgun was the most tricky to shoot in the series.

For the second year in a row, three shows have topped the Television Critics Association nominations. “Baby Reindeer,” “Ripley” and “Shōgun” lead Monday’s nominations for the 40th annual awards with five bids each.
All three shows are up for Program of the Year, a category dominated by FX and Netflix. The former fielded three nominees with “Shōgun” “The Bear” and “Reservation Dogs,” while the latter is repped by “Baby Reindeer” and “Ripley.” Max’s “Hacks” is the sole non-fx and non-Netflix nominee.
Last year, “Succession,” “The Last of Us” and “The Bear” scored five nominations apiece. “Succession” and “The Bear” wound up with two wins each, with the former taking Program of the Year, but “The Last of Us” went 0-5.
After expanding to eight slots per category in 2021, TCA has reverted to six slots. No reason was given.
More curious, however, is the unprecedented double-dipping by three shows.
All three shows are up for Program of the Year, a category dominated by FX and Netflix. The former fielded three nominees with “Shōgun” “The Bear” and “Reservation Dogs,” while the latter is repped by “Baby Reindeer” and “Ripley.” Max’s “Hacks” is the sole non-fx and non-Netflix nominee.
Last year, “Succession,” “The Last of Us” and “The Bear” scored five nominations apiece. “Succession” and “The Bear” wound up with two wins each, with the former taking Program of the Year, but “The Last of Us” went 0-5.

The summer solstice is still a couple weeks away, but awards season is in full bloom — the Television Critics Association just announced the nominees for its 40th annual awards, a milestone for the organization.
If you've been paying attention to the zeitgeist, you won't be surprised by the frontrunners. Baby Reindeer, one of this year's most electrifying (and polarizing) new series tied with Shōgun and Netflix's Ripley for the most nominations with five. The Bear's second season, which earned raves from critics everywhere, earned four nominations, including one for Program of the Year.
The Bear/Shōgun/Baby Reindeer/Ripley supremacy pushed FX and Netflix to the front of the pack with 16 nominations each. But HBO/Max isn't too far behind with 13, including nominations for Outstanding Achievement in News and Information and Program of the Year (for Hacks).

Editor’s note: Shōgun was originally selected for Deadline’s showcase of standout limited or anthology series scripts in 2024 Emmy contention. Following the show’s renewal and subsequent move to drama categories, it is no longer part of that series.
Months after Shōgun had been greenlighted, it was headed towards production and actively casting when FX pressed the breaks, with Chairman John Landgraf telling Deadline at the time, “We need to slow down, and we’ve got to aim higher.”
The series was re-built from scratch with new writers, husband-and-wife duo Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks. FX’s most ambitions production to date, Shōgun has been a ratings hit and has been well received by critics and fans, even getting enthusiastic thumbs-up by George R.R. Martin who called it a “superb” adaptation of the 1975 book by James Clavell while admitting that he also loved the “landmark” 1980 miniseries.

Max has done it again. The Warner Bros. Discovery streamer has canceled another one of their masterful, underappreciated shows, this time the enthralling, cross-cultural crime period piece “Tokyo Vice.” The news was announced at the PGA’s Produced By conference by the show’s creator and executive producer J.T. Rogers and executive producer and director Alan Poul during a panel with Max original programming chief, Sarah Aubrey.
Despite the series’ short run, the panelists indicated that this was a mutual decision.
“We’re grateful not only to Max, but to our partners Fifth Season, who sold the show around the world, and made it a global success story,” Rogers and Poul wrote in join statement shared by Variety. “They were in the trenches with us always, guaranteeing that we could make the show we wanted to make. The response from both the press and from fans, in particular to Season 2, has been overwhelming.

Blade Runner 2099 may have found its co-lead.
We recently got word that Michelle Yeoh had been cast as one of the two female leads in Prime Video's sci-fi series, and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' Hunter Schafer is rumored to be in talks to join her.
According to reliable insider Daniel Richtman, the Cuckoo and Euphoria star looks set to play Cora. The previously-released plot synopsis revealed a little about this character (could she be a former Blade Runner?), who will join forces with a Replicant named Olwen (Yeoh).
"In Los Angeles 2099, Cora lived her entire life on the run, a chameleon forced to adopt numerous identities. To secure a stable future for her brother, she assumes one final identity and is forced to partner with Olwen, a Replicant who’s confronting the end of her life.

Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer will reportedly join Michelle Yeoh in Prime Video’s upcoming spin-off TV series, Blade Runner 2099.
After delays and a shift in production from Belfast to Prague, the sci-fi spin off series Blade Runner 2099 is now taking shape. Production is currently underway, and it was announced in May that Michelle Yeoh had joined the cast.
A new report suggests that Prime Video’s expensive-sounding TV series has now cast its lead: Hunter Schafer, perhaps best known for her role as Jules Vaughn in the hit show, Euphoria. Her other work includes The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes, and a role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ upcoming Kinds Of Kindness.

“Baby Reindeer” was among the winners at the first-ever Gotham TV Awards on Tuesday evening, taking home the prize for breakthrough limited series.
“I never thought in a million years that this dark, weird, messed up show would have brought in this universal love that it’s received,” said Richard Gadd, the show’s creator and star, in his acceptance speech. He also thanked Netflix, his team and his mom and dad for “messing [him] up enough to make [him] an artist.”
Gadd went on to say, “It’s kind of weird also that a show as messed up as this has gone on to strike a chord with so many people. I think it speaks to the fact that a lot of people in the world are struggling right now. And I don’t know much in the way of advice, but I do know that nothing lasts forever.

Months before the highly anticipated third season of “Hacks” premiered, Gold Derby’s thousands of 2024 Emmy predictors collectively agreed that it poses the biggest threat to defending Best Comedy Series champion “The Bear.” As the Max series’ latest batch of episodes dropped throughout May, its standing in the main race steadily improved, with its well-received finale triggering noticeable boosts in multiple categories.
Over the past week, the share of top Best Comedy Series votes held by “The Bear” decreased by 1.2%, while that of “Hacks” grew by the same amount. Although the two programs remain separated by nearly 80 percentage points, it speaks volumes that “Hacks” is at least 1.5 points ahead of every other contender.
After simultaneously running second in their respective races for several weeks, lead and supporting “Hacks” actresses Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder are now closer than ever to toppling frontrunners Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”) and Meryl Streep...

On the day we taped this “Shōgun” interview, with series creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo, the news broke that the FX show, previously billed as a limited series, might continue for more seasons after all. Since then, FX has officially announced that Marks and Kondo — along with the estate of author James Clavell, whose blockbuster 1975 novel provided the source material for what we can now call Season 1 of “Shōgun” — are developing a potential plan to go past the story of the book, and tell the further tales of Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada).
After the hard-won triumph that is “Shōgun,” the decision makes sense. And though there isn’t more of Clavell’s writing on which to base new material, Toranaga is modeled after the historical figure Tokugawa Ieyas, the Japanese warlord who stabilized Japan, beginning in 1600 when “Shōgun” is set.
This is all to say that it was...

Jan Koeppen, president of The Walt Disney Company Emea, has restated the company’s commitment to cinemas, speaking of the company’s “belief in the importance of theatrical distribution.”
“Everyone at Disney loves movies, and we love to make them big,” he said.
The Disney Emea boss was speaking at the Deloitte and Enders Analysis Media & Telecoms 2024 and Beyond Conference in London on Tuesday morning, where he touched on the breadth of Disney’s business, from theatrical to linear. Using “The Lion King” as an example, he noted that since the animated film’s debut 30 years ago it has spawned stage shows, theme park experiences, consumer products, is available on Disney+ and has a spin-off, “Mufasa,” coming out this winter. “We believe strongly that the breadth of our business is a key source of advantage,” he said. “It brings strength, resilience and opportunity.”

Disney has spent £3.5B ($4.5B) on production in the UK since 2019, Emea boss Jan Koeppen has revealed.
Koeppen, who has been in the role for five years, rolled out a wealth of stats that focused on Disney’s long connection with, and long-term commitment to, the UK, as he addressed the Deloitte and Enders Media and Telecoms 2024 and Beyond Conference in London.
Koeppen said tentpoles like Deadpool & Wolverine, one of 20 Disney films and series to have been produced at Pinewood over the past five years, allows the Mouse House to form deep connections with locals.
“Whenever I’m at Pinewood, what makes the biggest impression on me is the scale of the operation, the diversity of skills,” said Koeppen. “We’re talking about thousands of people, all part of the wider ecosystem. And on every single production, there are trainees getting experience to begin their careers in film and TV.
