Carol Burnett is 90 years young, and she is still as funny as ever.
Case in point. Here she is starring in Apple TV+’s Palm Royale, which debuts on March 20th. She isn’t saying anything, but she is still making me laugh out loud.
How many comedians can do that as well as her? Not many. And that is why we love her so much.
Apple TV+ gave us something to sing about when they gave Schmigadoon a series order. However, today, The show’s co-creator, Cinco Paul, announced that the fat lady has sung.
I am sad to share that Apple will not be moving forward with season 3 of Schmigadoon! The season is written (including 25 new songs), but we unfortunately won’t be making it. Such is life. I want to thank everyone involved with the show, our incredible cast & crew & writers, our wonderful supporters at Broadway Video, Universal, & Apple, for everything they did to make it happen. It’s a miracle we even got two seasons, honestly, and I’m so grateful we did. And to all the fans of the show out there-thank you with all of my heart. Your love and support has meant so much, and the fact that you connected with our show, that it brought you some joy, means the world to me. This was tough news to get, but the optimist in me is convinced it’s not the end of Schmigadoon…and maybe it’s even a happy beginning.
Love, Cinco
Schmigadoon focused on a couple, Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong, who found themselves in a hidden town where people sang songs from musicals from the ’40s and ’50s. At first, they couldn’t wait to get out of there. But then, for the second season, they couldn’t wait to get back. However, this time, they found themselves in Schmicago, in the era of Fosse, the ’60s and ’70s.
I was so looking forward to seeing what was next for the couple. Because I am a girl who loves a toe-tapping musical. And that is what they delivered!
Hopefully, someone will see this news and give us a third season. And then we will have something to sing about.
The After Party just concluded its second season on Apple TV+. And like one of the guests at the party, the show is dead.
Well, it is on life support because Deadline reports that Sony is shopping it around. But I have a feeling that no one is going to want the comedy that stars Tiffany Haddish.
The murder mystery had a good first season. But the second one lost its magic.
On November 18th, we are getting season 4 of For All Mankind on Apple TV+. The series is an alternate universe where John Lennon is still alive, and we have traveled to places we can only dream about.
During the first season, they prepared to go to the moon. They followed that up by colonizing it. After that, it was time to go to Mars. And this season, they are looking to do to Mars what they did to the moon.
Rocketing into the new millennium in the eight years since season three, Happy Valley has rapidly expanded its footprint on Mars by turning former foes into partners. Now 2003, the focus of the space program has turned to the capture and mining of extremely valuable, mineral-rich asteroids that could change the future of both Earth and Mars. But simmering tensions between the residents of the now-sprawling international base threaten to undo everything they are working towards.
If this season is like the first three, I can’t wait to be on the edge of my seat to see how their alternate universe is so much cooler than ours and how they learn to live on Mars.
Now that Steven Carrell’s character is dead, The Morning Show can move on from him being the villain. So things are going to change in season 3.
The future of the network is thrown into question and loyalties are pushed to the brink when a tech titan (Jon Hamm) takes an interest in UBA. Unexpected alliances form, private truths are weaponized, and everyone is forced to confront their core values both in and out of the newsroom.
That is just a description of what we can expect. But the trailer shows us there is going to be so much more. And I am here to watch every second of their lives being destroyed in front of and behind the camera.
I am a former national television news employee, and this show makes me want to get back into the business. And no other show has done that. I won’t do it, but this show tempts me.
The Morning Show, which stars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, returns to Apple TV+ on September 13th with all new episodes.
