By Yellowjackets
The third season of Showtime’s much buzzed about mystery drama “Yellowjackets” will not be premiering until 2025. The delay is reportedly due to the strikes which saw the show’s writer’s room and pre-production shut down from May to September last year. [Source: Deadline]
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story
Nathan Lane, Javier Bardem and Chloe Sevigny will join Nicholas Chavez and Cooper Koch in Ryan Murphy’s “Dahmer” follow-up “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” at Netflix.
Lane will play writer and investigative journalist Dominick Dunne who covered the trial for Vanity Fair. Bardem and Sevigny will portray the Menendez brothers parents Jose and Kitty, who were murdered in their L.A.-area home in 1989. [Source: Deadline]
Beef
The future of Netflix’s “Beef” is unclear with series creator Lee Sung Jin telling reporters backstage at the Emmys on Monday night: “I feel like there are so many paths. It could stay limited – it was a very close-ended story for sure. But if Netflix wanted to continue, it could also be anthology. It could be many things. It’s up to the great algorithm. We’re all waiting to hear.” [Source: Variety]
The Emmys
While other award ceremonies, including the Golden Globes, have seen upticks in viewership recently, the same isn’t true of the 75th Emmy Awards which slid 27% from last year – down to a new historic low of just 4.3 million viewers on Monday night according to early Nielsen data.
The ceremony itself has been praised for various elements, but not its choices with the TV Academy criticised for watching seemingly little beyond trio of shows that dominated proceedings (and genre shows shut out altogether). [Source: TV Line]
The CW
The Nexstar-run The CW is undergoing a rebranding, removing ‘The’ from its logo and making it a more consistent red-orange color palette. The new logo reveal is timed to Sunday’s airing of the Critics Choice Awards.
The post TV News: Yellowjackets, Monsters, Beef, Emmys appeared first on Dark Horizons.
