Ahead of Severance Season 2’s premiere on January 17, it has been announced that executive producers Ben Stiller and Adam Scott will be hosting a companion Severance podcast. Besides Stiller and Scott, they will also be accompanied by several guests, including some of the cast and crew, as well as celebrity fans of the show, such as Jon Stewart.

When is the Severance podcast release date?

The Severance podcast is scheduled to launch its first two episodes on January 7, which will feature the hosts tackling the first season of the acclaimed sci-fi drama series. While waiting for the Season 2 premiere, the following Season 1 episodes will be released daily on weekdays through January 16. Afterward, new episodes will be released weekly on Fridays throughout the second season of Severance.

“We have severed ourselves from the world for five years making this show. While we have no memory of what happened during that time, we thought we should do a podcast for all the Innies who will have no recollection of watching in an attempt to reintegrate them with their memory of the show,” Stiller and Scott said in a joint statement (via Variety). “We’re happy not to be working with Lumon Industries on this podcast and instead to be bringing it to the world with Audacy Podcasts, who would never send us to the break room.”

The Apple TV+ series was created and written by Dan Erickson, who’s also serving as an executive producer along with director Ben Stiller. In addition to Scott, Season 2 will also feature returning cast members Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, Emmy Award winner John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette. They will be joined by new cast members Sarah Bock, Bob Balaban, Robby Benson, Stefano Carannante, Gwendoline Christie, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, John Noble, Alia Shawkat and Merritt Wever.

Yellowstone star Luke Grimes opened up about the highly-anticipated series finale of Paramount Network‘s hit western drama, which will air on December 15, 2024. In the series, Grimes plays the role of Kayce Dutton, the youngest son of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton.

ComingSoon caught up with actor Chad Michael Murray about starring in Walmart’s new Deals of Desire series, which can be seen on its YouTube channel. Murray discussed his history with Black Friday shopping, his role in Deals of Desire, and much more. Walmart’s Black Friday deals are now live through December 1, and Walmart+ members can get even more benefits.

“Get ready for the hottest new drama (and Deals!) of the season. Deals of Desire is a shocking, supernatural, action-packed, historical, western drama like you’ve never seen before. There will be laughs. And there will be Deals,” says Walmart’s description.

Tyler Treese: Chad, congrats on this new Walmart promotion, Deals of Desire. I watched the trailer. It’s so over the top and fun. They describe it, and I wanted to get the quote because it’s just something else, as “a shocking, supernatural, action-packed, historical, western drama.” What kind of drew you to this? There are a lot of great stars in this.

Chad Michael Murray: We checked all the boxes, didn’t we? Man, it was so much fun. Truly, like, when I saw the outline and the proposal for this, it was a no-brainer. It’s like, yes, obviously the Deals of Desire campaign is so ingenious. We created something that I would’ve never thought of in a million years. To go out there and to take these kind of beautiful, nostalgic moments and beats and tell a story with you say stars, I say props.

The stars of this entire campaign are the deals that are going on for Walmart on Black Friday, for Cyber Monday. It’s pretty clear, like when we were there, that’s how it felt, right? It was so much fun doing it. Because you have to be a hundred percent committed, otherwise it doesn’t work. So, just to have the opportunity to work with everybody over there, to meet everybody in the branding department, to work with these great group of actors and artists, directors, the whole team, it was A+ from the top-down, genuinely.

Your character is a football coach. What can we expect from your storyline in it?

When I saw that, I said, well, there’s life imitating art. I actually coached my son’s team here in Nova Scotia. So, I felt like, okay, I went from practice, boom, right into the screen. Look, he’s a coach. He wants to be the guy, right? He wants to be the guy in this kind of Walmart-verse that we’ve created. He wants to be the head coach. He’s had a lot of success as a younger player back in the day at the same school, and here he is, and he’s kind of being held back a little bit. We’re gonna find out how he’s either gonna rise to the top or fall behind throughout this series. I think, in total, it’s 10 episodes of all the series combined. So, get ready for a little drama, a little action, and all those things. Like we said, a little western and for hella good deals, as they would say.

Nothing beats Black Friday deals. Did you ever used to go through those wild Black Friday crowds, or are you more of like a Cyber Monday guy now?

I still go out now. I don’t get up at three in the morning and sit out there and go postal by any means. I’m more of the type that I really like to be in the environment. There’s something about it that feels like good comfort food, right? I like going out and seeing the people and seeing the deals that are on display. I like having the opportunity to get a good deal. Because why wouldn’t you? For instance, we just bought a house recently, and I need a TV. Well, I could get it now, or I could wait till then, and I know where I’m going. You know what I mean?

I like that aspect of it, and I like that aspect of being able to shop for friends and family. I like the aspect of going out there and just having these moments with friends and family, grabbing a coffee, and walking through busy shopping centers. It feels good, right? There’s something that I really truly enjoy about it. I remember my first memory of Black Friday: I was 15 and we really wanted an N64. I had to get it, come on. I really wanted an Nintendo 64. So my brother and I got up, drove out at like two in the morning, and him and I just sat in the parking, my older brother and I, and we waited. We ended up being like third in line, boom. Got our hands on it, the Nintendo 64.

Now I have to ask, what were the early N64 games you were playing? Like Super Mario 64? What really drew you in?

Super Mario 64 and Goldeneye, baby. Is there anything else, really?

November’s a big month for you. You also have The Merry Gentleman out, which is a stripper Christmas movie. That’s such a hilarious combination. What sold you on that project? I know you’ve done a lot of Christmas movies in the past, but this is such a unique film.

Someone said, “Stripper Christmas movie.” I said, “Yes.” Come on. Like, what says Christmas more than male strippers? Now that’s sarcasm. That sarcasm. You know… what it was, the idea of it scared the crap out of me. I’d never danced professionally by any means. I’d never done choreographed dancing. So I thought, man, what an opportunity to do something that I’d never done as an actor, an artist. I wanna do it. I wanna go for it. I knew all the work that would go into just trying to get myself physically, mentally, and spiritually prepared to go in there and be shirtless for half a movie.

I just put the work in, and it really was a testament to hard work from everybody and calling in so many people to get me where I needed to be, from choreographers to consulting with different people for just body. As you get older, it ain’t as easy as it used to be to get in shape and to do it in a short timeframe. So, it was a lot of work, man. But it was a lot of fun. I think we really thread the needle to find a movie that actually fits the mold for a Christmas male revue.

You’ve always been a very fit guy, but I saw the trailer for this film and you’re in incredible shape for this. How daunting was that task to just really get extra swole for that? That’s crazy.

Thank you, dude. You’re making me blush, bro. It was a lot of work. I’m not gonna lie. I’m that guy that every holiday season, without fail, I’m gonna gain five to 10 pounds. I hang it up. I don’t go to the gym. I eat a lot of pumpkin pie with extra, extra, extra cool whip, and I just enjoy it, right? I spent all the time with my kids, and I just turn off. Then it was somewhere like late January when I heard the first inkling of this, and it was like, uh-oh, I gotta go to work. So in order to get yourself in shape, you have to build up and then lose because doing both at the same time, you’re just gonna end up like a very, very skinny version of yourself if you’re just trying to cut weight.

So you have to build the muscle and then burn the fat. So, it was a lot of work, man. It was like three-four months of just kind of hitting it. In a perfect world, you’d always have more time to get everything and all your dreams and expectations met. But I was really happy with the results because the film itself, it’s great, man. It’s a great movie, and I think people are really gonna enjoy it. It’s really a head turn because you’re going, “How do you blend Christmas and male dancing?” We did it. Get ready.

This is such an exciting moment for your career. You have Freakier Friday also coming out, and Freaky Friday was one of your first movies, so how was that kind of full circle moment of reuniting with such great actors, and that film has still been so beloved this entire time?

Good. I can only say I just feel blessed. You know, I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to work with Jamie Lee [Curtis] and Lindsay [Lohan] 22 years ago, and then here we are going on set. It felt like it’s bizarre because it felt like no time had passed, but yet, at the same time, we had had entire lifetimes in between finish to start, you know what I mean?

So, I’ll tell you that the new additions to the cast are incredible. Jamie was just such a champion leader in every way, from preparation to making everybody comfortable and ready to go and to bringing and elevating the script on a daily basis. It was a great team, everyone from Kristen Burr and our director, Nisha [Ganatra], and Jamie and Lindsay, just everybody all out together just wanted to make a great movie and make sure if we’re gonna do it, we were gonna do it right. So it felt really blessed to have the opportunity to come back, live in Jake’s clothes, and decide what Jake had been doing the past 22 years with his life. Conveniently, my hair just happened to be long again. I hadn’t had it long forever, and all of a sudden I’m like, “Oh yeah, ’tis the season.”

The stars aligned for sure. You mentioned something that I was really curious about, that lifetimes have happened since that first film. You mentioned that that chemistry was still there, but how is it when you’re reuniting after that many years? Because you’ve all evolved as actors in that interim. Do you have to kind of navigate that or was it just instant chemistry again?

I think it was better for me. I think it’s even better chemistry, to be honest with you, because I was a baby then, you know? It was one of my first gigs, so you’re a little more green behind the ears. So I think you’ve aged, right? You’ve really worked on your instrument a little bit more. So you’re more willing to take chances and try new things. I don’t think the nerves are as heavy as they were back 22 years ago.

I think that it’s exciting when you got babies coming to set. I got three kids now. Lindsay’s got her little baby, and it’s like we’re all in these different places in our lives from where we were so long ago. It’s just a really cool moment. It’s really incredibly fulfilling and a nostalgic burst for us as well, making it as I hope it is, and I believe it’s going to be for everyone watching it on August 8.

You’ve had so many great roles over the years. I really thought you were excellent in Agent Carter, as well, which is like this really underrated part of Marvel over the past decade. I’ve seen a lot of people go back to it recently just because it’s on streaming and really fall in love with it. How do you kind of look back at that show’s two seasons?

It’s great. I learned a lot. Just the opportunity to work with those core people. Louis [D’Esposito] would come to set and you got this whole Marvel universe right around you. I remember they were cutting — was it The Avengers? They were cutting one of the major franchises. The Russo Brothers were coming in and they were directing an episode. Then they’re out and they’re directing The Avengers. You’re just seeing how the whole universe was working and how hard everyone was working. You’re doing this really cool period piece and you want to be as authentic [as you can], but, yet, kind of bigger and grander than you can be because you’re doing something that’s [a superhero project].

I love Jack Thompson. I think there’s a universe where Jack Thompson had a much bigger world, you know what I mean? There’s something really cool about Jack Thompson. We never really peeled the layers, we never really pulled back and saw what was beneath the surface. I always like to say Jack would’ve been back.

If you remember the cliffhanger in Season 2… Well, I don’t want to ruin it for anyone, I don’t want to be a spoiler. But if you’re watching, something happens to Jack. Jack would’ve been back. I can picture it now, and we would’ve learned a lot more about Jack. But there was something so likably unlikable about him, you know what I mean?

One Tree Hill was obviously a huge part of your early career, and they announced a sequel series recently. Is that something you’d like to pop up in the future?

Golly, man, I don’t know. I have no idea. It is funny ’cause you hear all these things, right? We’ve heard about a bunch of different iterations, and I know that, supposedly, the word is out there. I can say that truthfully, I want that to be real for the fan base that brought it to the show, right? That show has always been the fan’s show. It was since we started 20-something years ago. The fans are what kept it on the air. They were the ones who were cheering at the river court. Every time we’d film out there, we’d have 400, 500, 600 people just sitting there watching this film all day and walk over. We take pictures and sign autographs with people at the end of the day.

I’ll never forget it. I’ll never forget that bond that’s been grown and has genuinely stuck with us this entire time. They’re still there. So for them, I do hope that some version, and I don’t know what that version will be if the show comes, for them to tell modern stories and have a contemporary take on it, but not kind of get too far off the dotted line of what really made that show work.

A new A Man on the Inside Season 2 update has been given by star Ted Danson and creator Mike Schur.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Danson and Schur were asked if the pair had spoken to Netflix about continuing the series in any way, considering that the show’s finale does end in a satisfying enough way.

Danson said that everything about the show continuing depends fully on Netflix, and that they won’t know more for at least another month.

What do we know about A Man on the Inside Season 2?

“All of this depends on being picked up, obviously,” said Danson. “Netflix has its system, so we won’t know that for a month, but we seem to be doing really well. We have, but it’s one of those things where you don’t want to go too far down that road, and it’s more of a fingers crossed kind of conversation.”

Schur also chimed in, noting that the series was never envisioned as a limited one, and was actually pitched to Netflix as an ongoing series. However, he said that there are definitely building blocks for a second season, and he’s told Netflix he’ll keep making the show as long as they keep wanting him and Danson back.

“We pitched it to them as a series, not a limited thing,” said Schur. “We won’t know the reality of that for a couple weeks at least, probably more like a month or two. But before the season was even over, we had started saying [a second season] could be this, could be this, and trying to figure out how it would be different and how it would be the same. He can’t go undercover at Pacific View anymore. Obviously, that ship has sailed. But what you have at the end of the season is a 76-year-old man with a new lease on life and a new sense of purpose and a new kind of fledgling career as an undercover detective. … You have a lot of building blocks for future seasons.

“I told Netflix, I’ll do this forever if you want to keep paying me to write seasons of a show where Ted Danson is an undercover detective. I will sign up for this through 2050 if you let me.”

A Man on the Inside is currently available to watch via stream on Netflix.

Stranger Things Season 5 has been confirmed to be the popular show’s last and is currently in production. A lot of news is coming out about the highly-anticipated final chapter of the Netflix sci-fi horror mystery series. One of the most prominent among them surrounds the potential return of a supposedly dead character.

Matthew Modine’s Papa likely to return in Stranger Things Season 5

Matthew Modine’s Dr. Martin Brenner or Papa has been an important character in the overarching narrative of Stranger Things, especially due to his connection to Millie Bobby Brown’s Eleven / Jane Hopper (“El”). In Season 4, he has one more interaction with Eleven before she leaves, and he dies alone in the desert of Nevada. However, with the filming for the final season currently ongoing, Modine appears to have teased his return on his Instagram page.

The actor recently posted an old video from several years back, and wrote in the caption, “strangerthings5 #bts #drmartinbrenner #papa #indestructible,” hinting at a potential return of the character.

Nothing has been officially confirmed neither by the actor nor by Netflix. But the post led fans to speculate what it could mean. Notably, this isn’t the first time that Modine has suggested his character might still be part of the storyline.

In a 2022 interview with Vulture, the Full Metal Jacket actor was asked if he would say his character was dead. “No, I wouldn’t,” he responded. “Because I wouldn’t want him to be dead. Three things are curious to me: How did he survive the Demogorgon? How did he survive One? And when Eleven tries to use her power against Dr. Brenner after blowing three guards in the air, he unflinchingly thwarts her and says, ‘You didn’t think it was going to be that easy, did you?’ She couldn’t get it to work on him. Is there something more to Brenner than meets the eye?”

Modine also implied that he would like to explore themes such as redemption and forgiveness with the character. Series creators The Duffer Brothers confirmed Brenner’s death during a 2022 appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. However, Matt Duffer told Deadline in the same year that they would explore the initial days of Brenner’s experiments. This indicates that the character might appear in flashbacks.

Jessie T. Usher has addressed speculation about his character A-Train’s fate in The Boys, confirming his return for the show’s fifth and final season. In a now-deleted Instagram post, the actor assured fans of his involvement, putting to rest rumors of his departure. This announcement follows lingering questions about A-Train’s future after his uncertain exit in Season 4.

Jessie T. Usher confirms A-Train will return in The Boys Season 5

Jessie T. Usher, who portrays A-Train in The Boys, has confirmed his character’s return in the upcoming fifth and final season.

In a now-deleted Instagram Story, Usher wrote, “Here comes season 5,” effectively dispelling rumors of his potential exit after Season 4’s conclusion. A-Train’s storyline had left viewers in suspense as he fled New York with his family, leaving his fate and involvement with the series uncertain.

This confirmation aligns with the unresolved aspects of A-Train’s narrative arc. Introduced as one of The Seven, A-Train’s character has shifted from being reckless and self-centered to grappling with guilt and seeking redemption. By the end of Season 4, he was exposed as a mole working against Homelander and Vought. This forced him to flee after removing his tracking chip. His return in The Boys Season 5 indicates the continuation and likely conclusion of his storyline.

Season 5 will explore the repercussions of Homelander’s consolidation of power over Vought and the U.S. government. A-Train’s precarious position between The Seven, The Boys, and his own safety adds complexity to his role. With his betrayal exposed to Homelander, his return suggests he may have a key role in the growing conflict.

As the series nears its conclusion, A-Train’s return ensures the resolution of key plot threads from previous seasons. With high stakes and intense confrontations on the horizon, his storyline will likely reflect themes of redemption and justice. His presence builds anticipation for the series’ climactic finale.

ComingSoon caught up with actor and musician Anthony Ramos about starring in Walmart’s new Deals of Desire series, which has been premiering on its YouTube channel. Ramos discussed his history with Black Friday shopping, his role in Deals of Desire, and much more. Walmart’s Black Friday deals are now live through December 1, and Walmart+ members can get even more benefits.

“Get ready for the hottest new drama (and Deals!) of the season. Deals of Desire is a shocking, supernatural, action-packed, historical, western drama like you’ve never seen before. There will be laughs. And there will be Deals,” says Walmart’s description.

Tyler Treese: You’re a part of the Walmart Deals of Desire campaign. I saw the trailer. It’s really over the top and fun. It’s described as a “shocking, supernatural, action-packed, historical, western drama.” That’s a lot. What kind of drew you to this? It seems like something you could work on with some talented people and have a lot of fun with.

Anthony Ramos: Honestly, man, it was just that. Like, it sounds crazy, but it sounds like it’d be a lot of fun. I was just surprised at how they wanted to shoot these little mini-movies for this. But it was like funny, like comedy, it just felt like something that would be a lot of fun to do, you know what I’m saying? I always like to show a different side, man. I like to be able to tap into the comedy and just have those moments when I can do stuff like that, which is light and fun. It was crazy, bro. We shot in this wild mansion in the valley out here in California. It was horses and all types of animals. It just felt like it could be something that could be fun.

What can we expect from your character?

I’m playing this stable boy who basically gets a glow-up and inherits this deal — he’s a Walmart+ member. It’s passed down from a relative who was lost at sea. So he inherited this membership, and all of a sudden, the princess is like, “Wait, what? You’re like a Walmart+ member? You have to come with me to the ball. You gotta be my date.” He’s like, “Wait, like me? For real? I’m just this lowly stable boy guy,” and she’s like, “Yes, you’re my man. We are going to the ball.”

It is just a lot of fun, bro. Just this guy who gets a glow-up ’cause he’s a Walmart+ member, and he is about to get early access to the deals. That’s the secret. You gotta have early access, my brother. If you don’t got early access, what are we talking about? We skipping the line.

This is leading up to the big Black Friday deals. Did you ever go into the wild crowds or are you more of a Cyber Monday guy?

Nah, bro, I’ve definitely gone crazy on Black Friday, for sure. Because the deals on Black Friday are legit, bro. You’re getting TVs at 50% off, and it’s just wild, you know what I’m saying? I haven’t been in the crowds on Black Friday in a minute. I’ve also even missed Cyber Mondays, but I would say probably a few years ago I was pretty consistent with Black Friday. I would get out there, you know what I’m saying? I’ll be in the mix. I try to get there early too in the morning so I can get all the good shit.

This is an exciting time for you. I listened to your new single, “Vicariously,” which is a beautiful track. I saw your songwriting credit as well. What do you hope people get out of that? This is a very relatable song.

Thanks, man. It’s the first song off of a bigger project that we’re gonna put out next year, man. We’re gonna start rolling out these singles for the next album. I’ve been through a lot during the last three or four years, and I think that I finally have the songs to tell the story. Then the music feels like it’s another level, and I hope people just really feel where I’m at right now in life and what I’ve been through. They could really start to kind of get a better picture of what it’s been like in the last few years, bro.

It’s just been fun, bro. Like, really flexing, you know? It’s been probably three years now, it’ll be four since I put out my second album. So, this one feels almost like a rebirth, you know what I’m saying? I’m just excited, bro. I’m using sounds I never used. I’m using vocal chains, like distortions on my voice, that I’ve never done before in my music. Like really just getting experimental with production and, and I’m always about the lyrics, and I think we take that, and really get most dope producers and get with people who are just making like really, really dope shit. This dude, Sam Homaee, produced this track, and as soon as we got in the studio that day, it was me, Sam Homaee, and Sabrina Claudio. We had that session. It was like instant, bro. The song was just writing itself.

I love the production of it. There’s a section before the last chorus where the instrumental cuts out and it’s just your voice with some distortion, and it was just such a great build there.

That’s sick. That’s what’s up. That’s what’s up. I love it. There’s all of that, bro. We’re doing all of that on this next project, bro. We are getting crazy with it.

You’re joining the MCU soon with Ironheart. When you’re doing a role like that, do you dive into like a ton of the comics? That’s such a crazy rabbit hole. There’s so much history there.

No, I didn’t really dive into the comics. I just really focused on my character, and you just follow the script. But it was also like, yo, how do I make him singular? How do I make him different? Parker Robinson in the comics is from New York. Our guy is from Chicago, our show is set there. So I just wanted to make him super dynamic. Like every character, I just see how I relate to him, and I try to put as much of myself into the character. I think that was how I looked at it. But for sure, I referenced the comics. He has a certain look, but Parker Robinson in the comics looks different than me, you know? So, it was cool being able to almost recreate this guy.

He is a real badass villain, and you’re so naturally likable. So, how is it really embracing that other side and showing your range here? I haven’t seen you as a villain too much.

Yeah, man. It is cool. I’m starting to get these bad guy roles. Even in Twisters, I wasn’t necessarily the good guy in the movie, you know what I’m saying? I think we all have that side to us, you know? I appreciate that. It’s very nice of you to say that I’m a likable guy. I appreciate that, my brother. That’s what makes it even better to play these kind of roles. Because even some of our favorite villains are still likable, right? You think about the Joker, right? There are villains in movies that you’re just like, “Dang, I really, really like this dude, but he is the worst.”

Every villain has their reasons, bro. They’ve got their reasons, whether it makes sense to you or not, and whether you agree with what they do. They’re like, “Well, I do this because of that…” My favorite part about playing a bad guy is that you really get to tap into the mind of a person who is essentially doing wrong, but they have justified why they do it. To them, their reason is legit, and it’s a good reason. So, that’s been fun exploring that with not only the Hood, but these different characters that I’m playing.

You mentioned Twisters, and that was such a sensation this summer and such a fun time in the movies. There’s some debate from people, though. They were arguing if Javi had romantic feelings for Kate. What was your read on that?

Oh, sure, for sure, a hundred percent. Yeah. He has that line. He is like, “There was a time where I’d do anything for you, Kate,” and I look at her with them eyes like, “Yo, you know I would’ve done anything for you, but you never picked me.” That kind of thing. Yeah, he is salty a little bit, but then he gets over it.

People were also divided by the lack of a kiss. I assume Javi was on Team No Kiss then?

Well, you know what? On the contrary, at the end of the movie, I’m like, “Bro, go get it.” Like, “What are you doing?” I think it would’ve been better if he would’ve kissed since it would’ve put Javi out of his misery. Now that they didn’t kiss, it’s open-ended. Now he might still have hope and think that he could probably get her. I hope we get a sequel, and then I hope someone else comes along, and then it’s like, “Oh, nevermind Kate,” you know?

What’s also crazy is you’re gonna be voicing Bob The Builder. Have you been practicing your “Can we fix it?” delivery?

Nah, bro. Not yet. We’re developing, we’re working on the script. We are really developing the story now in a bigger way. We’re already doing it, but now we got the team together, we got our studio,and now we’re getting into it in a bigger way, bro. I’m just so excited, man. I’m just grateful that I’m able to be a producer on this movie and work on the music for the film and really just like, be a part of this movie in such a big way, bro. It really is a blessing.

It’s been fun already. The team is incredible, man. Mattel Jennifer [Lopez]’s team have been great, and it’s just been dope, man. ShadowMachine is incredible, man. My manager, Jill, has just been killing this, so everybody’s just been super dope. We got a great writer named Felipe Vargas. He’s amazing, bro. He’s so phenomenal. I just can’t wait for y’all to see it. I mean, it’s gonna take a while till we make this, till we put it out because animation takes a minute, but I feel like it’s gonna be worth the wait, man.

You mentioned being a producer. How much more fulfilling is that really getting to help form these projects when you’re producing as well?

It’s really dope. Like even being an executive producer now on the Ryan Murphy show I’m doing. Like Ryan, when we first spoke, he was like, “Yo, whatever you want this character to be, we can make him. Think about whatever kind of role you’ve always wanted to play, and whatever that is, let’s try to work together to put that into this guy.” It’s just really cool being able to come into projects as more than just an actor, as a collaborator on the backend. I’m starting to produce short films, obviously bigger films like Bob The Builder, and this is what I’ve always wanted, man.

This is what I’ve always dreamt of. Even with my music, assembling the whole creative team internally. That’s the dream, man. It is being able to get to a place where you build relationships with people, and you’re able to just make calls, and people are like, “Yeah, I’m gonna pull up. Yeah, I’ll be the grip. Yeah, I’ll be the director, I’ll be the DP, I’ll work crafts, I work this, I work that, I’ll produce that. I’ll be the line producer.” All those things, man. Those are all blessings, man. Gifts, bro, that have come over time.

Jordana Brewster has starred in a number of high-profile projects throughout her Hollywood career, but before the actress became a star, she got her start in the world of soap operas, which she says is a surprisingly great way to experience the world of acting.

Speaking to ComingSoon in a recent interview about her most recent film, Cellar Door, Brewster opened up about her time on various television soap operas. Brewster said that working on them teaches actors a lot of “technical stuff,” and the stakes being so low helps.

What did Jordana Brewster say about working on soap operas?

“Well, you’re learning, you have like one day to prepare like eight pages of dialogue. So you have to learn the dialogue and adhere to it. Then you have to get used to cameras and hitting your mark. So it teaches you a lot of the technical stuff. Also, the stakes are low because it airs, and then it’s gone forever. So it’s really a great playground for actors.”

Brewster first debuted in the world of acting on a 1995 episode of the hit soap opera All My Children. That same year, she would be cast as Nikki Munson on the equally big soap opera As the World Turns and go on to star in the series for six years, appearing in 118 episodes total.

Since then, Brewster has gone on to star in a number of big movies and shows, including Chuck, Dallas, Lethal Weapon, and the Fast & Furious franchise, which she’s appeared in seven films for.

Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale has shared his thoughts about the Vinyl cancellation, after nearly a decade since the period drama series had made its debut on HBO. The short-lived series was created by Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, Rich Cohen, and Terence Winter.

In Vinyl, Cannavale portrayed a jaded record executive who tries to resurrect his label and fractured private life, while discovering the next new sound of 1970s New York. The cast also included Ray Romano, Olivia Wilde, Jack Quaid, Juno Temple, Paul Ben-Victor, John Cameron Mitchell, and more.

Why Bobby Cannavale feels like he disappointed Martin Scorsese after Vinyl cancellation

After Vinyl debuted its pilot episode on February 18, 2016, HBO had actually gave the series an early Season 2 renewal. However, the network eventually reversed their decision due to the show’s low viewership ratings. Despite this, it still managed to receive positive reviews from critics during its 10-episode run.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Cannavale admitted the Vinyl’s cancellation led him to feel that he disappointed Scorsese, due to how long they’ve worked together to prepare for the project. Even though Scorsese assured him that it wasn’t his fault, the cancellation really affected his self-confidence as an actor.

“I felt like I was on a creative journey with Marty that lasted years. There was a window there between Boardwalk Empire—he was so impressed with that character that I played and with my work on the show, that he took a big interest in me,” Cannavale said. “So it was years of prepping that show and talking so much about it. I felt like the bubble we created resulted in something that was really unique and special, and a different way of storytelling, certainly for television, than I’d ever seen. To just be brushed aside felt really disappointing. Marty was so kind and so generous to me by offering me something after: The Irishman. But yeah, it’s always felt to me like a little smudge on his career. I know how much that meant to him. I can’t help but feel like, Fuck, why couldn’t that be successful? The one thing that I did with Martin Scorsese is the one thing that wasn’t successful?”

He continued, “I always described that period as the stinky year. I had a stink on me, and I could feel it. To add insult to injury, we got picked up for the second season—they let everybody know we’ve got a second season, and then they changed their mind. It was like a double f***-you. I just kept it moving. I was like, Well, that’s the business. My depression over it settled in three months later, and then it was real. I really did go to a dark place. I just thought, Well, I’m never going to work again, because if something that Martin Scorsese and Terry Winter and Mick Jagger created didn’t work, and I was the star of the thing, then I’m going to have a stink on me forever.”

A Man on the Inside series creator Mike Schur opened up about the inspiration behind his newest Ted Danson-led comedy series, which is now available for streaming on Netflix. Since its debut last week, the show currently holds a near-perfect Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes.

A Man on the Inside creator on recapturing the magic of The Mole Agent

During a recent interview with ComingSoon, Schur shared what it was like trying to recapture the magic of The Mole Agent, the Oscar-nominated documentary that served as the inspiration behind Netflix’s A Man on the Inside series. He revealed that it was important for the creative team to include the serious topics tackled from the documentary into the new show in order to stay faithful to the core of the source material.

“The documentary was very special, I think. Because it’s broadly comic idea, and then as it goes along, it starts to really get serious and in-depth about a lot of really serious things about aging, memory loss, death, and a lot of the practical realities of being in your seventies, eighties, and nineties,” Schur said.

“I thought, ‘Wow, the real trick here would be to make a series that gives you all of the same feelings.’ That was always our North Star; that’s how we navigated in the writer’s room. We want people to feel the same way when they watch the show that they felt when they watched the documentary. So that meant not shying away from that stuff. We’re gonna run right at it. We’re gonna do stories about memory loss and even death and tricky relationships and what it means to get older. I think it wouldn’t have been a faithful adaptation of the documentary if we hadn’t run right at all of those really serious subjects, even while trying to be funny.”

A Man on the Inside also stars Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Stephanie Beatriz, Lilah Richcreek Estrada, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sally Struthers, Margaret Avery, John Getz, Susan Ruttan, Lori Tan Chinn, Clyde Kusatsu, Marc Evan Jackson, Jama Williamson, Wyatt Yang, Deuce Basco, Lincoln Lambert, Kerry O’Malley. It is executive produced by Schur, Morgan Sackett, David Miner, Maite Alberdi, Marcela Santibañez, Julie Goldman, and Christopher Clements.

“Retired professor Charles feels life has nothing new in store for him. A year after his wife’s passing, he’s become stuck in his routine and grown distant from his daughter Emily. But when he spies a classified ad from private investigator Julie, he’s inspired to roll the dice on a new adventure. Charles’ mission: to go undercover inside the Pacific View Retirement Home in San Francisco and solve the mystery of a stolen family heirloom,” says the synopsis.

Reneé Rapp came into superstardom thanks, in part, to her starring role on the hit Max comedy-drama series The Sex Lives of College Girls. With her departure coming in the recently premiered Season 3, the show’s co-creator opens up about what it’ll be like without her.

Speaking to THR, Justin Noble — who co-created the series with Mindy Kaling and also serves as showrunner — was asked about what the show is going to be like without Rapp around. Noble said that the show would be “busier” due in part to more people being able needing to be featured.

What did the show’s co-creator say about Rapp’s departure?

“It looks busier, frankly. It’s really interesting to say that about someone leaving, especially someone who was fundamental of the first 22 episodes of the show. But we have more mouths to feed than ever,” said Noble. “I’ve said before in press, but the sweetest criticisms we ever got in season two were people being like, ‘Longer episodes!’ Then, as we introduced these new characters, frankly, I was like, ‘How are we going to produce episodes that have this many stories in them and serve as all these people?’ Ilia is incredible, and we want to spend more time with Lila, Canaan, Willow [Renika Williams], and all these people.

“So, the scripts are longer. There’s more to do. We have five main girlies moving forward. So, it grows. The show grows and gets fuller and faster. It’s already so fast, but that’s just what the show is.”

The Sex Lives of College Girls is created by Kaling and Noble, the latter of whom also serves as the showrunner. The series stars Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Mekki Leeper, Christopher Meyer, Ilia Paulino, Lolo Spencer, Renika Williams, Mitchell Slaggert, and Reneé Rapp, the latter of whom will be in the show for just a few episodes before her departure.

Additional cast members for Season 3 include Rebecca Wisocky, Nabeel Muscatwalla, Michael Hsu Rosen, Ruby Cruz, Devin Craig, Michael Provost, and Roby Attal. It is executive produced by Howard Klein. It is a production by Kaling International in association with Warner Bros. Television.
