The beloved Fox police procedural drama, Bones, captivated mystery and crime series lovers for 12 seasons, running from 2005 to 2017. Following a brilliant forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan and her charismatic partner, FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth, the show skillfully intertwined complex criminal cases with rich character-driven narratives.

Viewers were drawn not only to the intricate investigations but also by the evolving personal lives and relationships of the main characters. Though the series ended six years ago, with the characters’ stories wrapping up on a satisfying note, it’s intriguing to explore what the actors have been up to since leaving the Jeffersonian.

The directing career of Andy Fickman stretches back more than twenty years, with most of his credits coming in the comedy genre. Among those credits are Who’s Your Daddy?, Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical, She’s the Man, The Game Plan, Race to Witch Mountain, You Again, Parental Guidance, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, Playing with Fire, Christmas Again, Heathers: The Musical, and One True Loves.

After being blown away by the Prime Video adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel Daisy Jones & The Six, I decided to circle back and read the author’s debut novel, the “tragic love story” drama Forever, Interrupted… and as the story went on, I became more and more surprised that it hadn’t yet received an adaptation of some sort. It seemed ready to be brought to the screen as a heartbreaking and heartwarming movie or TV show, with solid roles for two lead actresses. Well, now it’s getting its adaptation. Glamour reports (via Deadline) that Margaret Qualley (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Laura Dern (Jurassic Park) are set to star in a limited series adaptation of Forever, Interrupted that’s coming our way from A24 and the Netflix streaming service.

Phillipa Soo is set to star alongside Joshua Jackson and Don Johnson in Doctor Odyssey, a new ABC drama series from Ryan Murphy, which is targeting a fall launch. It hails from 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television.

As is the case with any Ryan Murphy series, no details about the premise are being revealed. As the title suggests, Doctor Odyssey is believed to be a medical procedural. According to sources, it is set on a cruise ship.

Details about Soo’s character are being kept under wraps.

Doctor Odyssey is written and executive produced by Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken. Paris Barclay is directing and executive producing. Eric Paquette, Alexis Martin Woodall, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson and Nissa Diederich also executive produce alongside Jackson.

Soo is best known for originating the role of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton in Broadway’s critically acclaimed musical Hamilton, earning her Tony and Grammy nominations.

ABC’s forthcoming drama Dr. Odyssey continues to add to its cast.

Phillipa Soo (Hamilton) has joined the drama from Ryan Murphy Television, which scored a straight-to-series order in March. She’ll star opposite Joshua Jackson and Don Johnson in the series, which is slated for next season at the network.

Details about Dr. Odyssey are being kept quiet, but sources describe it as a medical show set on a cruise ship, with elements of House and Murphy’s 2000s FX drama Nip/Tuck. Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz (Feud: Capote vs. the Swans) and Joe Baken (American Horror Stories) are writing, and Paris Barclay (Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, NYPD Blue) will direct. Disney’s 20th Television and Ryan Murphy Television are producing.

Dr. Odyssey will be the first new broadcast show from Murphy’s company since 911: Lone Star premiered on Fox in early 2020. It will join another Murphy-produced series,...

Three years have gone by since Simu Liu made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as Shang-Chi in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and while we’re still waiting to hear when exactly we’re going to see his character again, Liu has been keeping busy outside of the MCU. He recently had roles in Simulant, One True Loves, Barbie, and Arthur the King, he has been making music videos, and now Deadline reports that he’s set to star in an untitled espionage techno-thriller series for the Peacock streaming service and producer James Wan. Jennifer Yale, who has worked as a writer and executive producer on the Apple+ series See and Netflix’s Chambers, just came on board the project to serve as co-showrunner alongside creator/writer/executive producer Thomas Brandon, who was a writer on Legacies.

Fans of Jessica Chastain and Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” are in for another disappointment: The Oscar winner confirmed there is “zero possibility” she will star in the film adaptation.

Netflix first announced a feature film version of the 2017 novel — about a fictional Old Hollywood movie star who gives her final interview — back in 2022. Writer Liz Tigelaar (who’s worked on “Brothers & Sisters” and created the CW series “Life Unexpected”) was attached to pen the script, with Leslye Headland (“Russian Doll” co-creator and “The Acoylte” showrunner) attached to direct.

“I love how excited the fans are,” Chastain told E! News in a recent interview. “When I was working on Broadway, every single day, they’d be outside, when I was signing, with the books. I just love how wonderful that fan base is.”

Fans campaigned on social media for Chastain to play Celia St.

Streaming services are now trying to ration their upcoming original content due to the ongoing actors strike and the only recently-resolved writers’ strike, so we’re going to see a thinning-down of new releases across the board over the next six months at least. Hulu will be adding a lot of library TV shows and movies in November, but there are only a few new major original projects hitting the streamer this month.

Hulu’s spotlight streaming series in November is Black Cake, which is based on the bestselling book by Charmaine Wilkerson. Part family drama, part murder mystery, the show features a globetrotting story that will cover decades of events after a bereaved family find a flash drive that contains some shocking secrets about the hidden history of their late matriarch.

Also dropping on Hulu this month is the original film Quiz Lady, starring Sandra Oh, Awkwafina, Jason Schwartzman,...

Hulu has released it’s full list of what will be added to it’s library throughout the month of November 2023!

The streaming service revealed all of the TV shows and movies that are coming to it’s platform, including quite a few fan favorite movies and some holiday features as the holiday season kicks off.

Get more info inside…

Among the movies being added include The Holiday, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Pacific Rim, Shallow Hal, Twister, Men in Black, Armageddon and many more.

On the television side, Hulu will be adding the new original series Black Cake and Drive with Swizz Beatz, season two of Arthdal Chronicles, LA Law, Wahlburgers season five, and Spellbound season 1B.

There will also be many Christmas movies from Hallmark and A&e being added!

Keep reading below to see the complete list of what’s being added to Hulu in November 2023…

Marvel and “Barbie” star Simu Liu hopes the return of the AMPTP to negotiations with the Writers Guild of America ends the strike for the right reasons.

Liu, who has also recently starred in “One True Loves” and appeared on “The Other Two,” picketed Amazon Studios in Culver City on Wednesday.

“I think a willingness to come to the table is always a good thing. I hope they follow through. There’s been a lot of things that have been said, from the AMPTP side that have not been encouraging or things that have been floating around,” he told TheWrap in an interview you can watch below. “The fact that they’re willing to come to the table, I think is a good sign. I think I think everyone who is out here on the picket line is unanimous and that we all share a hope that the strike will end,...

The summer of “Barbie” is here, and Greta Gerwig’s movie starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, Issa Rae and many, many more has finally arrived in theaters. Each of the Barbies has different occupations, from author to president to diplomat, while the Kens are just Kens. There is one Allan (Michael Cera), and there are also some human characters.

With such a jam-packed cast you may be wondering where you’ve seen some of these actors before, or maybe just want a complete guide to all the Barbies and Kens. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Margot Robbie’s Barbie dominates the narrative with an adventure to the outside world, and Ryan Gosling’s Ken accompanies her. Several big names like Nicola Coughlan, musician Dua Lipa, the “Sex Education” trio Connor Swindells, Ncuti Gatwa and Emma Mackey and Kate McKinnon (“SNL”) play a variety...

Simu Liu may be a big blockbuster star, but he flies under the radar in the romance department. He took the world by storm in 2021 following his starring role as Shang-Chi in Marvel's acclaimed film "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings." The titular role, as well as Liu's influence on the world of film and pop culture, earned him a spot on Time's "100 Most Influential People in the World" list in May 2022. And today, the actor shows no signs of slowing down as he has several major projects set, including Greta Gerwig's highly anticipated "Barbie" movie and the upcoming "Arthur the King" film. He also starred in rom-com "One True Loves" back in April and still has "Shang-Chi 2" in development at Marvel.

Outside of his movie roles, though, Liu has maintained a relatively low profile as far as his love life is concerned. The 34-year-old actor...

Fans who have been anticipating the adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” are one step closer to getting their wish. Lesley Headland will direct the adaptation for Netflix, TheWrap confirmed.

The book and film tells the story of Evelyn Hugo, a fading Hollywood star, who reveals to a young journalist the secrets and scandals of Hollywood, as well as her life with her seven husbands. “Little Fires Everywhere” screenwriter Liz Tigelaar will write the adaptation.

Liza Chasin for 3Dot Productions and Brad Mendelsohn for Circle of Confusion will produce, with Jenkins Reid and Margaret Chernin acting as executive producers.

The book was initially planned as a series for Freeform before Netflix secured the rights for a film adaptation.

Jessica Chastain has responded to a viral TikTok video in which she declined to sign a fan’s copy of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.”

A fan-backed campaign has pushed to get Chastain to star as Celia St. James in an adaptation of the novel — penned by the same author whose “Daisy Jones & the Six” was adapted into the Prime Video series starring Riley Keough. Outside of her Broadway run of “A Doll’s House,” a fan approached her with the book asking for her signature, but she refused, saying, “I can’t sign that — just because I’m not doing it.”

Jessica Chastain is sharing her autograph policy. The Oscar winner was recently captured in a viral video turning down signing a copy of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” novel following her performance in Broadway revival of “A Doll’s House” at the Hudson Theatre, outside of which she regularly greets fans.

“I can’t sign that, just because I’m not doing it,” Chastain says to the fan in the video. The “Molly’s Game” star later took to Twitter to explain her reasoning for declining to sign books such as these.

“I’ve been asked multiple times by fans, to sign books that I’m not attached to contractually. Because it feels wrong, and like I’m taking credit for someone else’s work, I’ll say I can’t sign because I’m not doing it,” Chastain wrote. “That doesn’t mean I’ve read a bad script.

Simu Liu is bringing positive energy on his birthday.

“So 33 was a bit of a wild s**tshow but also a year of great personal growth and healing,” he wrote. “Work accolades aside I was going through one of the toughest stints of my life this past fall and therapy and a great support system really got me through it. I’m feeling healthy and at peace going into 34.”

Slowly but surely, rom-coms are making their comeback on screen. Mostly recently, it comes in the form of The Avenue’s adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel “One True Loves,” starring Phillipa Soo and Luke Bracey. And really, Bracey would argue that romances are “some of the best movies you can watch.”

“One True Loves” follows Soo’s character Emma as she grapple with the loss of Jesse (Bracey), and finds love in the form of her childhood best friend Sam (Simu Liu). But, when Jesse suddenly calls her one day after being missing for four years, Emma must choose between her husband and her fiancé. And so, an impossible love triangle ensues.

Bracey may have broken onto the scene in action movies like “Point Break” and “Hacksaw Ridge,” but in the last few years, he’s also solidified himself as a rom-com heartthrob. He starred alongside Emma Watson in Netflix’s “Holidate,...

Marvel star (and future Ken doll) Simu Liu has dropped a new single, “Don’t.” The anthemic ballad urges the listen not to “give up when you’re halfway down the road.”

“This song was written for all of the hard times in my life where I have questioned my worth and felt like an imposter,” Liu wrote on Instagram. “It is for every single person who ever has felt alone, different, heartbroken or hopeless. You are worthy. You belong. You matter.”

He added, “I had the experience of a lifetime...

Simu Liu spoke to InStyle about his newest book-to-screen adaptation, “One True Loves,” in which he co-stars with Phillipa Soo. The film casts two Asian actors in leading parts that were originally written for non-Asian characters in the book. In the conversation, he also discusses love, soul mates, and finding “the one.”

I think as an artist, I really want to explore all of the facets of human...

It was recently announced that ever-prolific online content factory Buzzfeed would begin using artificial intelligence technology to generate articles — so can A.I. screenwriting be far behind? Amid a surfeit of production company idents at the outset of “One True Loves,” the presence of Buzzfeed Studios’ logo brings that question to mind; the rigidly generic love story that ensues keeps it there. In fact, this adaptation of a 2016 bestseller by Taylor Jenkins Reid (“Daisy Jones & The Six”) was scripted by the author herself, in collaboration with her husband Alex. There’s scant evidence of personal investment, however, in this clean, anodyne drama of messy romantic conflicts, in which everyone from director Andy Fickman to stars Simu Liu, Phillipa Soo and Luke Bracey is working in strict get-the-job-done mode.

The bland proficiency on display throughout “One True Loves” is galling in a story that calls for ripe emotional excess, conceived...

Simu Liu may be starring in one of the biggest movies of 2023, but no one will mistake “One True Loves” for that honorific. But, somehow, this rom-com adaptation is more plastic than “Barbie.”

Liu leads “One True Loves,” the big screen adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s 2016 novel of the same name. Liu is Sam, a high school music teacher who finally lands the woman of his dreams, childhood crush Emma (Phillipa Soo). The only issue? Emma’s first husband Jesse (Luke Bracey) was presumed dead after a fatal helicopter crash, and miraculously is rescued four years later, proving to be alive and very ready to rekindle his relationship with Emma right before her wedding to Sam.

Exclusive: Michaela Conlin has been cast as a series regular opposite Ellie Kemper in ABC’s Drop-Off (working title), a comedy pilot based on the British series Motherland, from writer Julieanne Smolinski, Sharon Horgan and Clelia Mountford’s Merman Television, Paul Feig’s Feigco Entertainment, Lionsgate and ABC Signature. Judy Greer and Karan Soni also star.

Written by Smolinski, Drop-Off (wt) centers on Julia (Kemper), a working mom for whom nothing is working so she goes looking for her village. With the help of new friends Calvin (Soni) and Liz (Conlin), Julia discovers she just might succeed at balancing work and parenting from time to time. This is a comedy for anybody who’s dropped their kids at school, breathed a sigh of relief … then realized it’s Sunday.

Conlin’s Liz is another single mom at Julia’s (Kemper) kids’ school. She’s cool, doesn’t care. Unlike Calvin and Julia, Liz doesn’t like the inner circle of moms at their kids’ school and doesn’t want to be part of them. Liz lives a bit of an alternative lifestyle — there’s pretty much nothing in her apartment except a giant mattress on the floor — and her breezy disregard for the status quo is comforting to both Calvin and Julia.

Michael Showalter directs and executive produces alongside Smolinski, Kemper, Horgan, Mountford, Stacy Greenberg and Kira Carstensen for Merman Television, Paul Feig and Dan Magnante for Feigco Entertainment as well as Holly Walsh and Helen Serafinowicz.

Conlin will next be seen in Taylor Jenkins Reid’s adapted feature One True Loves, opposite Simu Liu. She also will be seen in the upcoming feature Junction, opposite Sophia Bush, Jamie Chung and Hill Harper. On television, she most recently appeared in Hulu’s Dollface opposite Kat Dennings, Brenda Song, and Shay Mitchell. Conlin is known for her role as Angela Montenegro in Fox’s Bones and also played a key recurring in Apple’s For All Mankind, among her other credits. Conlin is repped by Mosaic, APA and Joel McKuin.

Starting with Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “Daisy Jones & the Six,” 2023 will have several TV shows and movies based on books, with many coming from Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine production company, which is behind “Daisy Jones.” Through Reese’s Book Club, Hello Sunshine champions many stories moving from page to screen. Other 2023 Hello Sunshine adaptations include “Tiny Beautiful Things” on Hulu and “The Last Thing He Told Me” on AppleTV+.

Netflix’s second season of “Shadow and Bone,” debuting in March, will adapt two books in Leigh Bardugo’s book trilogy — “Siege and Storm” and “Ruin and Rising.” Season 2 will continue to include elements from Bardugo’s other novels, “Six of Crows” and “Crooked Kingdom.”

Another novel of Reid’s, “One True Loves” is getting a film adaptation in April starring the love triangle of Philippa Soo, Luke Bracey and Simu Liu.

The “Hunger Games” prequel — “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes...

Taylor Jenkins Reid is currently taking Hollywood by storm and honestly, it was only a matter of time. Bookworms have become very familiar with the buzzy author over the years, as her most recent novels debut to fanfare and continue to top bestsellers lists. But lately, Jenkins Reid has also been making waves in the world of streaming TV.

The series adaptation of her novel "Daisy Jones & The Six" is currently airing on Amazon's Prime Video, with two more of her novels slated for adaptation at Hulu ("Malibu Rising") and Netflix ("The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo"). She also has a romcom on the way, with the book-to-movie adaptation of "One True Loves" expected to arrive in theaters this April. All the while, Jenkins has been hard at work penning yet another project: "My Ex-Friend's Wedding."

Set to begin filming later this year, the feature film already has four stars attached,...

There are many beloved literary universes, from Middle Earth, brilliantly woven by Jrr Tolkien, to Cs Lewis's Narnia, a world accessible through a wardrobe. But how about a totality that completely hinges on one man's philandering ways? Ask, and Taylor Jenkins Reid delivers.

The beloved author - who's the mind behind bestselling books like "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and "One True Loves" - anchors many of her books around those in the spotlight. In particular, her four most recent novels all investigate the plights of fame and feature cameos (for the most part) from a fictional singer in the vein of Rod Stewart. That man's name? Mick Riva.

Mick is introduced, first, in "Evelyn Hugo" - a minor character, at best. He pops up again, albeit briefly, in "Daisy Jones & The Six," which was just adapted into a Prime Video streaming series starring Riley Keough and Sam Claflin.

John Cena, Awkwafina and Simu Liu are set to star in the Amazon action comedy Grand Death Lotto.

The synopsis reads: “New LA transplant Katie (Awkwafina) accidentally finds herself with the winning ticket and must join forces with amateur jackpot protector Noel (Cena) to make it to sundown in order to claim her multi-billion dollar prize, all while dealing with Noel’s protection rival Louis Lewis (Liu), who also wants to get her to sundown in order to claim his rich protection commission.”

A woman is unexpectedly forced to choose between the husband she has long thought dead and the fiance who has finally brought her back to life.

The first look at Daisy Jones & The Six has arrived.

Based on the best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six chronicles the rise and fall of a renowned rock band in the 1970s fronted by Daisy Jones (Keough) and Billy Dunne (Claflin). Despite achieving superstardom and success, the band unexpectedly breaks up, only sharing what caused them to implode decades later.

Camila Morrone, Will Harrison, Suki Waterhouse, Josh Whitehouse, Sebastian Chacon, Nabiyah Be and Tom Wright also star in the limited series with a special guest appearance by Timothy Olyphant.

There is no such thing as failure, as Simu Liu can attest.

The Avenue has claimed North American rights to Press Play, a romantic drama from Parasite producer Cj Enm, starring Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick), Clara Rugaard (I Am Mother), Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon franchise) and Matt Walsh (Veep), which it will release next year.

Getting romantic dramas made in today’s cinematic landscape is becoming more and more challenging, yet veteran director Andy Fickman, who is currently in production on the buzzy indie “One True Loves,” remains cheerful and optimistic about the genre. “In general, and pretty much short of being a tentpole, it’s very hard to get things made. People aren’t making romantic dramedies that much anymore, but at the same time, there’s a real need for content because of the streaming outlets,” says Fickman, whose energy level remains high even after shooting an all-nighter. Highland Film Group is representing international rights to “One True Loves,” and is co-financing the picture alongside Blue Rider’s Walter Josten. Highland Film Group’s domestic arm, the Avenue, is distributing domestically.
