Steve Carell became one of the most prominent comedic actors in the world back in the mid to late 2000s thanks to his work on the hit NBC comedy series The Office. It’s a show that has been enjoyed by millions of people and well after its finale, people are still clamoring for new seasons or at least some type of reunion.

Fortunately, Carell will be coming through with the next best thing. He has teamed up with Greg Daniels – who worked on The Office – for a brand new comedy series on Netflix called “Space Force.” The series centers around Carell’s character who has been put in charge of running the United States’ new military branch. All sorts of hilarious antics ensue throughout Carell’s journey and the show promises to recapture some of the magic of The Office. You can see what’s in store in the new trailer below.

“Netflix had this premise that they thought might make a funny show—the idea made everybody laugh in a meeting, an idea of a show about the origins of a fictitious Space Force,” Carell told Deadline. “It was really based on nothing, except this name that made everybody laugh.

It is being reported that this show will make its debut on Friday, May 29th.

Over the past few weeks, Tiger King has become the biggest phenomenon on the internet, aside from, you know, the pandemic we are currently living through. The docuseries debuted on Netflix back on March 20th and it follows the exploits of Joe Exotic who finds himself wrapped up in all sorts of trouble. Exotic owned his very own tiger zoo in Oklahoma although things don't exactly work out according to plan.

Ever since the release of the show, fans have been begging for an eighth episode that follows up with all of the characters. Luckily for all of us, Netflix has answered our prayers as today, they announced The Tiger King And I which is an "after show" experience hosted by comedian Joel McHale.

The Office is one of the most popular sitcoms of all-time and is beloved by fans all over the world. Two of the most popular characters on the show were Jim and Pam. These characters started out as good friends and as the seasons progressed, they fell in love and got married. If you’ve seen the show, then you know the ninth and final season was pretty turbulent for these characters. Jim accepted a job in Philadelphia which left him apart from Pam. While their relationship was strained, they eventually pulled through and stayed together.

In a new book by Andy Greene called The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s, the show’s writers and actors talk about how they actually wanted to have Jim and Pam split up while eventually getting back together in the final episode. As Jim actor John Krasinski noted, it could have made for an interesting dynamic.

“My whole pitch to Greg [Daniels] was that we’ve done so much with Jim and Pam, and now, after marriage and kids, there was a bit of a lull there,” Krasinki said to Greene. “For me it was, ‘Can you have this perfect relationship go through a split and keep it the same?’ which of course you can’t. And I said to Greg, ‘It would be really interesting to see how that split will affect two people that you know so well.’”

Had this storyline taken place, numerous fans would have been in shambles. Luckily for the hearts of many, the show finished on a happy note for all of the characters, specifically Jim and Pam.

Drake and his longtime co-manager and business partner, Future The Prince, are setting out to pursue yet another television project, this time for the soon-to-be launched streaming platform, Quibi. Based on Robert Greene’s New York Times best-selling book, Drake and Adel “Future” Nur will be executive producing 48 Laws of Power, a series that will “detail the nature of power and how one can secure and maintain it.” Jason Shirer from the duo’s “co-venture” production company, DreamCrew, will also serve as executive producer, as will Zack Hayden of Anonymous Content, and Greene himself. Drake is also set to direct an episode of the series.

“When Drake and I sat down with Robert Greene, it was incredibly inspiring,” Future said. “The laws allow for a wide range of dynamic storytelling, and Quibi allows us to tell these stories in bite-sized chapters similar to the book.” Greene is also excited to bring the pages of his widely-read book to the small screen. “I have always thought that The 48 Laws of Power would be a perfect fit for a series, bringing to life the timeless Machiavellian game of power as portrayed in the book,” the author noted. “But it was not until Drake and Future with Anonymous Content approached me with their unique cinematic approach to the laws that I knew I could join forces with them and go all in for a filmed interpretation of my work.”

The series will debut on Quibi, a short-form mobile entertainment platform launching on April 6th. Other series that are set to premiere on Quibi are Chance The Rapper’s Punk’d reboot, as well as Idris Elba and rally driver Ken Block’s car race competition show, Elba vs. Block. Quibi will be offering a 90-day free trial once it has launched.

As shared by the Hollywood Reporter, HBO is set to develop a show based on the Naughty Dog and Sony creation, TheLast of Us. The story arch will be inspired by the first game, as well as its sequel, set to release later this year. 

The Last of Us follows the story of Neil, a hardened survivor of a lethal fungal outbreak, and 14-year old Ellie, who may be the cure for the pandemic.

HBO is working with the game's director, Neil Druckmann, and the creator of the digital-series Chernobyl, Craig Mazin, to adapt the game into a screenplay. The game's sequel is set to release May 29th and it does not look like the team will be taking any breaks. Adapting an on-going storyline into a television series can be a daunting task, as some of us may know, but Neil and Craig do not seem worried. 

Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite film made history at last night’s Oscar Awards when it became the first foreign-language movie to win Best Picture. The South Korean filmmaker jumped on stage to accept each of his four awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film) clearly taken back by his own accomplishments and at one point showing love to Martin Scorsese for inspiring his film endeavors.

Collider now reports that HBO is in early developments of turning the film into a series for the network. While details are on the low, the publication reports that Mark Ruffalo is being eyed to star in the television rendition. Bong will be teaming with Adam McKay on the series to produce five or six episodes. The publication reached out to the network for a statement. “The HBO limited series inspired by Parasite is in the early stages of development, and to speculate on any characters or casting is wildly premature,” they responded. 

“I had all these key ideas accumulated from when I started writing the script,” Bong said of the series. “I just couldn’t include all those ideas in the two-hour running time of the film, so they’re all stored in my iPad and my goal with this limited series is to create a six-hour-long film.” 

Tory Lanez has been moving at a breakneck pace. Mere months removed from the release of his throwback tape Chixtape 5, Tory Lanez has already begun teasing the arrival of his next project. Once again, the Canadian rapper appears to be revisiting an ongoing series, this time the more-rap focused The New Toronto. Taking to Instagram, Lanez emphatically kicked off the hype train, captioning a Twitter post with the simple yet effective: “THE NEW TORONTO 3 ?!?!????!?????????”

It’s entirely possible we’ve already seen a few glimpses at the upcoming drop, which may or may not be inspired by the resurgence of drill music. Especially given the vibes of his latest singles “Broke In A Minute” and “K Lo K,” which features Fivio Foreign with the assist. I’s never easy to tell with Tory, who seems to fling himself headfirst into artistic whims if and when they strike. For all we know, he’s simultaneously juggling another New Toronto, a new solo album, and a sixth chapter of The Chixtape series.

Still, a gambler might look to New Toronto 3 being next up on Tory’s itinerary, in light of recent revelations. Are you excited to see whatever he’s whipping up, or is his unrelenting pace leaving cause for concern?

Back in December, Offset launched his series, Bet With Set, where he faces off against celebrity guests “in a high-stakes competition with unpredictable and fun outcomes that change from week to week.” The Migos member hosted NFL wide receivers Dez Bryant and Mike Williams on the show, which broadcasts on the streaming service, Caffeine. On Thursday, Offset returned with the latest episode of Bet With Set, and shared a very mistake-ridden promo video to let us know.

In the clip, Offset attempts to tell his fans about the new episode, but interrupts himself by messing up on each take. In between relaying important information like where the live episode will be shot (Miami), when it will be streaming (Thursday, Janaury 30th) and who the guests will be (Slim Jxmmi, Machine Gun Kelly, and fellow Migos members Quavo and Takeoff), Offset manages to fumble every line. He keeps the producers and camera crew entertained with these tongue twisters, though, and even cracks a joke that the final special guest will be “your momma.”

Offset was recently detained in L.A. after he was mistaken for a man reported to be carrying a firearm. He was ultimately released from police custody on Thursday, although two members of his entourage were booked on firearms charges. Soon after this misunderstanding, Offset was involved in another altercation in Miami on Friday. The rapper started swinging at a man in a strip club after he sprayed champagne all over Cardi B. He was reportedly held back by security.

Ewan McGregor is denying reports that problems with the script are the cause for Obi-Wan‘s delay, as reported by Comicbook.com.

“The scripts are really good. I saw 90% of the writing and I really liked it,” McGregor told reporters at the premiere Birds of Prey(and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). “All this bullshit about creative differences and all that stuff, none of it is true. We just pushed the dates … last episode, [The Rise of Skywalker] came out, everyone had more time to read the stuff that had been written, and they felt that they wanted to do more work on it.”

McGregor admitted that the start of shooting has been pushed off until January 2021: “So they slid the shoot. It’s not nearly as dramatic as it sounds online.”

He continued: “I think they want to keep the same release date so it’s not really gonna affect the viewer in any way… It just simply gives them more time to write and make the scripts even better.”

Collider originally claimed that the series was delayed “indefinitely.”

The Hollywood Reporter stated that the show’s episode count was being cut from six to four. McGregor responded to that directly saying, “I haven’t heard that.”

50 Cent‘s beloved series Power is coming to an end in its final sixth season but fans know that there’s more coming since Mary J. Blige has confirmed that she will be leading the new spin-off series titled Power Book II. “This is probably the most exciting thing that’s going to happen to me this year,” MJB said. “I’ve been a fan of Power since the very beginning and I want to thank Courtney Kemp and 50 Cent for starting this conversation with me.”

After the announcement, it was revealed that Method Man would also take part in the show and will play attorney Davis Maclean. Clearly the Power executives know how to get their fans pumped since they’ve just dropped off the first look at Mary’s character in the upcoming spin-off. The image sees Mary speaking sternly to another character, dressed in high fashion wear. “The Queen has stepped onto the scene,” the caption reads. 

Omari Hardwick, who stars as James “Ghost” St. Patrick, recently chatted about the end of the show and detailed how he would sum of the final chapter.”Chaos. Chaos, chaos, chaos. Some of the best acting and writing we’ve seen in all six seasons,” he said.
