Hey All,
Here are the news items for this past week:
RENEWALS/CANCELLATION
Netflix has given Bridgerton a second season renewal. (Variety)
TNT has given Snowpiercer a third season ahead of the show’s second season premiere on January 25. (TV Line)
The hit BBC drama Peaky Blinders will come to an end after its upcoming 6th; however, due to the pandemic that 6th and final season may not air until late 2021 or early 2022. (Variety)
TV CASTING NEWS
Actor Kenneth Branagh will play UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in a new series that will air on Sky TV, the British broadcaster and telecommunication company. The 5-part series, entitled This Sceptred Isle, will detail Britain’s muddled response to the COVID-19 crisis. The series will launch on Sky TV in fall 2022. (Variety)
Actress Brie Larson will star in and executive produce the new series Lessons in Chemistry that received a straight-to-series order at Apple that will be based on the upcoming debut novel from author, science editor, and copywriter Bonnie Garmus. The series is set in the early 1960s, following Elizabeth Zott (Larson), whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a society deeming that women belong in the domestic sphere, not the professional one. When Elizabeth finds herself pregnant, alone and fired from her lab, she musters the ingenuity only a single mother has. She accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives – and the men who are suddenly listening – a lot more than recipes, all the while craving a return to her true love: science. Lessons in Chemistry is set to be published in spring 2022 by Doubleday. (Variety)
Actress Lesley Manville (The Crown and World on Fire) will star in the 6-part PBS and Brtibox series Magpie Murders, based on the novel by Anthony Horowitz. Manville will star as Susan Ryeland, an editor who receives an unfinished manuscript of the latest novel by a writer named Alan Conway, but she has little idea it will change her life. (Deadline and TV Insider)
That’s it. Enjoy!
