Russell T. Davies and the BBC continue their crusade to dismantle everything that once made Doctor Who a beloved science-fantasy institution. The latest evidence? A fawning write-up in The Hollywood Reporter about new Doctor Who companion Varada Sethu, who will star...
For anyone paying attention, the announcement that Jennifer Salke was “stepping down” as head of Amazon MGM Studios didn’t pass the smell test. The language was corporate-friendly, the tone soft, and the messaging was all about her “next chapter” as a producer. But the moment the email hit inboxes, the reaction across the industry was unanimous: Jennifer Salke was fired.
Jennifer Salke is officially out at Amazon Studios, but not before quietly handing out one last golden parachute — this time to none other than Phoebe Waller-Bridge, a creator who’s raked in over $100 million from Amazon without delivering a single show or film.
Late-night television, once a cornerstone of American entertainment, is experiencing a significant decline. Now, with the elimination of one of CBS’ programs, After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson, the collapse is beginning.
As opposed to replacing the PM comedy talk show format, CBS is opting to just trim the fat. Less hours of late night is the new norm… and it could be going all the way to “goodbye” for the genre that Johnny Carson largely built.
Netflix will bring another “modern reimagining” of the Scooby Doo franchise to its streaming service.
The fictional dog Scooby Doo has often been asked many questions such as “What’s New?” and “Where Are You?”, over the many decades his shows have been on the air, but perhaps the newest question should be if there is a demand for Netflix’s recently revealed live-action series, currently in production.
Warner Bros. Discovery has quietly removed Looney Tunes from its Max streaming service, claiming a shift toward prioritizing “adult and family programming.” While the company’s reasoning remains vague, the decision has left fans questioning why one of the most iconic family-friendly franchises is no longer available.
Jennifer Salke, the longtime head of Amazon MGM Studios, is stepping down from her role in a major executive shakeup that raises more questions than it answers. While Amazon is publicly framing the move as voluntary, the elimination of Salke’s position and the redistribution of her duties suggest a quiet restructuring—one that may be tied to the costly and controversial failures under her leadership, most notably The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series has received a new development, with reports indicating that British actor-comedian Nick Frost is nearing a deal to play the loveable half-giant Rubeus Hagrid.
In a stunning turn that should have traditional media execs hitting the panic button, YouTube has officially claimed the top spot in total TV viewing share, surpassing even the once mighty Disney. According to Nielsen’s latest Distributor Gauge Report, YouTube racked up a record 11.6% of all U.S. TV viewership in February, marking just the second time the platform has done so since the report’s inception.
We’re not far away from a time when artificial intelligence is a key component of nearly any video generated for commercial and personal use. Already, YouTube is flooded with content created by Sora, Claude and other video generative programs. Sure, some of them are very amateur, but in the right hands… they’re remarkably realistic and beautiful. Like when Photoshop changed photography forever, video is preparing for its paradigm shift into a completely new world.
Disney’s ongoing shift toward dismantling traditional family dynamics continues, now confirmed once again in its latest Marvel offering, Agatha All Along. Following months of speculation, showrunner Jac Schaeffer recently revealed at PaleyFest that Agatha’s son, Nicholas Scratch, was conceived by Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) and Rio Vidal (Aubrey Plaza), with no father involved. The move echoes a similar controversial reveal in last year’s The Acolyte, where it was confirmed that twins Osha and Mae were likewise conceived by two women, leaving a father figure deliberately absent.
It looks like the Power Rangers are morphing back into Disney’s hands—at least for now.

Steinberg and Dan Shotz attached as writers, producers, and showrunners.
