Despite being conceived and pitched as a limited series, Apple has doled out a second-season renewal for its drama series based on Laura Dave’s best-selling novel. Season two will be based on the author’s newly announced sequel to her book of the same name. The latter is set to be published in 2025, ahead of the show’s return. Dave’s sequel has already been optioned by producers 20th Television.
Stars Jennifer Garner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Angourie Rice and David Morse will all return for the second season of the series from Disney’s 20th TV and Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine banner.

The Peak TV era is officially over.
FX CEO John Landgraf, the so-called “Mayor of Television” who coined the term “Peak TV” in 2015, released his network’s annual research on the volume of U.S.-produced scripted original series for 2023, and the numbers are in line with what the industry had anticipated. The total number of broadcast, cable and streaming shows (made for adults) clocked in at 516, down a whopping 14 percent from the 600 comedies and dramas produced in 2022.
The 14 percent decline is the largest decrease since FX began tallying originals. The 516 shows are the lowest since 493 in 2020 when the pandemic halted productions for months and forced media companies to re-evaluate their financials.
The decline in the total volume of originals comes as no surprise as media companies canceled a wave of shows, some as a result of production delays caused by the dual strikes and others because they wouldn’t...

Exclusive: Clint Eastwood’s Juror No. 2 at Warner Bros. has rounded its cast with Amy Aquino, Adrienne C. Moore, Cedric Yarbrough, Chikako Fukuyama and Onix Serrano.
The movie follows Justin Kemp, played by Nicholas Hoult, who while serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma — one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict–or free–the wrong killer. Eastwood is producing under his Malpaso banner in addition to directing off of Jonathan Abrams’ screenplay. The pic is currently shooting in Georgia.
Also part of the ensemble are Toni Collette (prosecutor), Gabriel Basso (accused), Zoey Deutch (Kemp’s wife), Leslie Bibb (juror), Chris Messina (public defender), and Kiefer Sutherland (Kemp’s AA sponsor).
Also producing for Malpaso are Tim Moore and Jessica Meier, and Dichotomy’s Adam Goodman & Matt Skiena. EPs are Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell and David M. Bernstein.

Lucky Hank, Bob Odenkirk’s follow-up to Better Call Saul, has been canceled by AMC after one season. Although the series received positive reviews, the audience just wasn’t there to justify a second season.

It’s more like unlucky Hank.
AMC has canceled Lucky Hank, the drama series starring Bob Odenkirk, after one season.
The series, which marked Odenkirk’s follow-up after Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, wrapped its eight-episode run in May and has been on the bubble during the writers and actors strikes.
The cancellation brings an end to Odenkirk’s run on the network, which dates back to 2009, when he was cast in Breaking Bad. The series concluded its run with a mere 260,000 same-day viewers.

This won’t help his state of mind… Lucky Hank has been canceled after one season.
AMC has axed the Bob Odenkirk-led drama series, which premiered in March.
The series, which is an adaptation of Richard Russo’s novel Straight Man, saw Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul star Odenkirk play William Henry Devereaux, Jr., the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt, who is somewhere between midlife crisis and full-blown meltdown.
The eight-part series premiered in March and came from Sony Pictures’ Television TriStar TV and Mark Johnson’s Gran Via. Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein adapted the book and served as co-showrunners. The duo exec produced alongside Odenkirk, director Peter Farrelly, Richard Russo, Naomi Odenkirk and Marc Provissiero.

Bob Odenkirk is getting candid about his time on Saturday Night Live.
During a recent appearance on Tig Notaro’s podcast Don’t Ask Tig, the Better Call Saul star explained it was difficult for him to start out in comedy, especially his time as a writer on the late-night sketch series from 1987 to 1991.
While at SNL, he said, he was “unsure of myself. It was hard. It was existentially dangerous. I had feelings of ‘I should erase myself.'”
He continued, “I was too young when I got hired at SNL. That was not a good thing. That could’ve gone wrong. That could’ve gone so wrong. It came this close so many times to going so wrong. You gotta believe me.”
Odenkirk added that he had “no fucking clue” what he was doing and was genuinely “scared out of my wits” for years. While he was on the show,...

AMC Networks — the company behind such cable channel brands as AMC, IFC and Sundance TV, as well as such streaming services as AMC+, Acorn TV and Shudder — reported a 17 percent drop in second-quarter U.S. advertising revenue Friday.
Advertising revenue fell to $167 million “due to anticipated linear ratings declines, softness in the ad market and fewer original programming episodes within the quarter, partly offset by digital and advanced advertising revenue growth,” it said. The second quarter included new episodes of such original series as Fear the Walking Dead and Lucky Hank. The latest quarterly U.S. ad revenue update followed a first-quarter decrease of 20 percent and a fourth-quarter drop of 12 percent.
The firm, led by CEO Kristin Dolan, also disclosed Friday that its streaming subscribers dropped to 11.0 million as of the end of June from 11.2 million as of the end of the first quarter. In its first-quarter earnings update, the...

Jason Clodfelter is leaving Sony Pictures Television after a nearly two-decade run.
Clodfelter, who most recently served as co-president of the studio under the recently installed Katherine Pope, has joined Legendary Television and will become the president of the studio behind shows including Amazon’s Carnival Row.

Better Call Saul‘s Bob Odenkirk found himself “giddy” and “very proud” on Wednesday morning, as his lauded Breaking Bad prequel landed its final set of seven Emmy nominations, including one for his lead turn, speaking with Deadline about what his character Slippin’ Jimmy McGill might be up to post-finale, his memorable recent guest appearance on FX’s The Bear, his new AMC show Lucky Hank and more.
Noting that it was co-star Rhea Seehorn’s nom alongside him that made the morning “complete,” not to mention recognition for the show’s writers, Odenkirk shared that as the time since Saul‘s finale stretches out, he sees the opportunity he had with the series as even “bigger” than he did at the beginning, “which is to say it seems like the role of a lifetime, for real.

Ever since The Walking Dead wrapped its 11-season run on AMC, the franchise has promised to expand some more thanks to countless spinoffs.
The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 1 launched on June 18, and the early numbers are encouraging.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Old Acquaintances" managed 683,000 viewers in its linear airing on AMC.
With simulcasts on AMC Networks cable channels and replays, the number rose to 1.12 million viewers.
While these numbers are way down from the original series' heyday, it is an improvement on the premieres of Interview With the Vampire, Mayfair Witches, and Tales of the Walking Dead.
Another thing to consider: The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 1 Episode 1 launched on AMC+ three days earlier than its linear debut.
While the company didn't provide raw viewership statistics for the Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan drama, it did reveal that it was the top series premiere ever on AMC+ in viewers.

What’s it going to take for “Better Call Saul” to finally win an Emmy? As we all know, this is the absolute last opportunity for the show to score a prize — any prize. Thanks to AMC’s decision to split the show’s final season into two halves, we still have the show’s final six episodes for your consideration — and even though we said goodbye to “Saul” nearly a year ago, it still deserves attention.
And of course, at the top of that list is star Bob Odenkirk, who turned what began as a guest spot on “Breaking Bad” into one of the most iconic characters in TV history. Last year we finally got an Emmy nomination for Rhea Seehorn, and the show overall has landed 46 noms over the years. But that’s not enough.

Lucky Hank, new a black comedy-drama television series on AMC, stars Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) as Hank, a struggling writer and creative writing professor at a Pennsylvania college. The series sees Hank navigate through the tumult of his personal and professional lives while undergoing a midlife crisis.
Mireille Enos (The Killing), who plays Hank’s wife, Lily, talked with uInterview founder Erik Meers in an exclusive interview at SXSW in Austin, Texas to discuss her role and experience working with Odenkirk.
“Bob Odenkirk has the most spectacular mind that never stops working… Those first couple of days on set you could just see his wheels turning and then the brilliant, crazy, bananas things that would come out of his mouth, and you just had to like hold on because you never knew what was going to happen. It was incredible!”

Updated, 3:25 Pm: Striking writers marching Wednesday in New York City were joined by SAG-AFTRA members Bob Odenkirk and Mandy Patinkin — and the latter’s sign harkened back to a certain beloved 1987 movie.
Both Emmy winners walked the picket line side by side outside streaming giant Amazon’s field office in Manhattan. Patinkin carried a hand-lettered picket sign reading, “You killed residuals. Prepare to pay,” a riff on a celebrated line he uttered in The Princess Bride as the swashbuckling big-screen fairy tale character Inigo Montoya (“You killed my father. Prepare to die.”) And note the Rous in the background of the photo above.
Both Emmy-winning actors spoke to Deadline Hollywood about their reasons for joining the picket line. Watch a clip here and another fiery Patinkin speech below it:

Diedrich Bader has played the best friend before. He did it for nine seasons of The Drew Carey Show. He did it two decades later on Pamela Adlon’s meditative Better Things. He also did it plenty of other times in between. But something about being the Bob Odenkirk’s wingman on Lucky Hank, the AMC series based on Richard Russo’s 1997 novel Straight Man, made it feel different for Bader — a man whose IMDb tally currently stands at 237 acting credits.
“I had stopped feeling like an artist and more like a craftsman making cabinetry,” Bader says of his mindset before taking on the black comedy about aging academics. “There’s a lot of artistry in making cabinetry, but maybe once you’ve made too many, it’s like “Here’s another cabinet!” With this, I felt like “Here’s everything I’ve got. I can bring comedy, but I can also bring some reality.

“We used to argue for hours,” admits Paul Lieberstein about writing “Lucky Hank” with Aaron Zelman. For our recent webchat he continues, “It was all cured when we realized we agreed on the page almost 100%. We could never agree on what a scene is suppose to be. Then we write the scene and agree completely. But if we then talked about the scene we’ve already written, we’d be disagreeing about why it worked.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
Lieberstein and Zelman developed the AMC series “Lucky Hank” from the Richard Russo novel “Straight Man.” They serve as executive producers and writers on the series. The dark comedy is about English department chair Hank, played by Bob Odenkirk, going through a midlife crisis at an underfunded college. Lieberstein says, “He’s a person who’s doing his best to deal with a bunch of stuff . Whenever he hits adversity in any way,...
