Alien: Romulus Brought Back FX Artists From James Cameron's Aliens, And One Star Remained Scared Even While Rerecording Dialogue
FX has announced a brand new Alien TV series that is helmed by Fargo and Legion's Noah Hawley.
I suppose it makes sense for a tough, difficult, post-apocalyptic series to have a tough, difficult, pre-apocalyptic pre-production path, right? But after lots of false starts and casting rearrangements, Y: The Last Man has finally started filming, with a projected FX on Hulu airdate of 2021. The series is based on the acclaimed comic book from Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, and follows the last remaining cisgender man in a post-apocalyptic world and, of course, his monkey. This man was originally going to be played by expert spaghetti-eater Barry Keoghan, until he abruptly exited …
Creator Noah Hawley’s FX anthology series Fargo, which begins its fourth season on Sept. 27, is a notorious labyrinth of Easter eggs that don’t just reference back to the 1996 Joel and Ethan Coen movie on which it's based, but to past seasons where character and situations from one can – unexpectedly or not – appear or be mentioned in another. These overlapping stories, which frequently delve into the office politics of close-knit crime families as much as they do small-time criminals, have delighted fans as much as made them paranoid that they’ll miss something. Even …
A haunting new trailer for a new adaptation of Black Narcissus has arrived. The three-episode limited series stars Gemma Arterton, Alessandro Nivola, Aisling Franciosi, Jim Broadbent, and the late Diana Rigg (in one of her last on-screen appearances). This is the second time Rumer Godden's 1939 novel of the same name has been adapted for the screen. Previously, Deborah Kerr starred in Powell and Pressburger's 1947 feature film adaptation.

The official trailer for FX on Hulu's A Teacher has arrived. The 10-episode limited series stars Kate Mara and Nick Robinson as a teacher and her student who must face the serious consequences of their illicit (and very illegal) affair. A Teacher comes from creator, writer, director, and executive producer Hannah Fidell. Fidell also wrote and directed the 2013 indie of the same name on which the series is based. [caption id="attachment_926987" align="alignright" width="360"] Image via FX on Hulu[/caption] The trailer for A Teacher hits what will likely be the big beats of the …
Folks, Fargo Season 4 is back on track. The new season of the critically acclaimed FX anthology series was originally poised to premiere this past April, just in time for Emmys eligibility, but that premiere date was cancelled as production was shut down due to the coronavirus. Today, however, FX has announced that filming on Fargo Season 4 is set to resume later this month, and the show will be premiering with the first two episodes on Sunday, September 27th at 10pm ET/PT on FX. New episodes of the show will air on Sundays at 10pm on FX, but …
In lieu of a whole new season, FX's Fargo has gifted us with a new teaser trailer hyping up Season 4. Fargo newcomers Chris Rock, Jason Schwartzman, Timothy Olyphant, and Ben Whishaw definitely make a splash in the short and punchy teaser. In addition to regaling fans with new footage, this Fargo teaser also offers an update on Season 4's expected release date following news from March the the premiere date would be delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The teaser kicks off with a bang, as Glynn Turman's intriguingly-named character Doctor Senator remarks, "In America, …
Under a cloud of secrecy, Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner has been developing a new half-hour mystery dramedy series at FX, according to multiple reports. Plot details are, appropriately, being kept a mystery, but Weiner will write and direct as well as executive produce the untitled series, which hails from FX Productions. I wish we had more to go on than that, but it'll take some serious sleuthing, as Weiner is notorious for keeping a tight lid on things, though Variety broke this intriguing piece of news. [caption id="attachment_600533" align="alignright" width="360"] Image via AMC[/caption] …
Hulu just released a slew of new information about its impressive lineup of upcoming series, including the revelation that Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story spinoff American Horror Stories will be an FX on Hulu exclusive. However, the streaming service offered no explanation as to why the spinoff is sticking with its objectively terrible and confusing title. [caption id="attachment_899082" align="alignright" width="360"] Image via FX[/caption] As reported by Deadline, the news came during Hulu’s presentation at the annual NewFronts event, organized by the Interactive Advertising Bureau for streaming companies to outline their broadcasting plans for the …
Steven Knight darkened our holiday doorsteps in 2019 with a bleak and dour adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. That limited series, which hailed from both the BBC and FX, embraced all of the small-minded, mean-spirited, and hard-hearted aspects that the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge (Guy Pearce) has become known for, but forgot to bring in the Christmas cheer, the optimistic change wrought by near-death experiences and a retrospective look on one's life, and the hopeful nature of the human condition. But that's just my opinion. Clearly the studios behind the production feel differently …
FX has ordered a half-hour anthology series from The Office alum B.J. Novak that will feature an impressive cast of rising stars and Hollywood veterans. The untitled series will use current events to tell character-driven stories about the world we live in today. Each episode will feature a different cast, and writer-director-EP Novak has already filmed the first two installments. The first episode stars Lucas Hedges, Kaitlyn Dever, O’Shea Jackson Jr., George Wallace and Ed Asner, while the second episode stars Jon Bernthal, Boyd Holbrook, Amy Landecker and Beau Bridges. “Thrilled, excited, humbled — these …
Mrs. America is not a story with a happy ending. To be clear, the era of history being chronicled by the new FX miniseries is one that witnessed substantial change for the way in which women weren't just treated, but regarded in American society. To quote an advertising campaign created to profit off the women's movement, "We've come a long way, baby." However, while the civil rights strides that have been made over the decades represent significant progress, any narrative talking about the Equal Rights Amendment is going to feel like a tragedy. For years, women (and …
Another hour, another work stoppage as Hollywood does what it can to limit the spread of the coronavirus. The latest update is that Apple and FX have suspended filming on all shows currently in production. For Apple, that means the second seasons of The Morning Show (produced by Media Res), Servant (from M. Night Shyamalan's Blinding Edge Pictures), See (Chernin Entertainment and Endeavor Content), For All Mankind (Sony), and Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet (Lionsgate) are all shutting down for the time being along with the Skydance production Foundation and the limited series Lisey's Story from Warner Bros. …
In 1973, Norma McCorvey, under the pseudonym "Jane Roe," changed history. She was the plaintiff in the case Roe v. Wade, which went to the Supreme Court, and set the precedent that a woman's right to have an abortion is constitutionally protected. But, later in her life, McCorvey completely changed her mind, became vehemently pro-life, publicly regretted being a part of the case, and even tried to advocate for the Supreme Court to overturn it before her death in 2017. What were her life circumstances that led to this radical about-face? The upcoming documentary AKA Jane Roe …
If you’ve ever wondered whether you want to have kids or not, Breeders may not be the best show to watch to help you decide. The show is painfully honest about the constant attention children need and the never-ending well of patience a person needs to have, a test most of us are destined to fail. The show was created by Martin Freeman, Simon Blackwell and Chris Addison; Addison wrote most of the episodes and co-executive producer Ben Palmer directed the handful of episodes sent for review. Freeman also stars as Paul, who cares a lot about …
FX on Hulu has officially launched, bringing a bevy of great content to the existing streaming library on Hulu. But questions may remain as to what FX on Hulu is, exactly. The long-running cable channel isn’t moving entirely to streaming, nor is the content on FX on Hulu completely different from what’s on the actual network. But there are some key differences between the two as FX embarks on a promising strategy to move into the streaming realm. This streaming offshoot was first announced back in November 2019, no doubt a consequence of Disney’s purchase of …
Ben Schnetzer has taken on the starring role as Yorick for the FX Series Y: The Last Man following Barry Keoghan's exit.
FX has released a trailer for The Most Dangerous Animal of All, the network's first true-crime docu-series that dives into one man's possible shocking connection to history's most famous cold case. The four-part series is based on the book by Gary L. Stewart, whose search for the father he never knew led him to believe he might be the son of the notorious Zodiac killer. This is a...genuinely insane story, and almost impossible to believe in that way most true-crime seems impossible to believe. I mean, this FX series isn't about …
