Netflix has slotted March 20 for the premiere of The Residence, Shondaland’s comedic murder-mystery Netflix drama series starring Uzo Aduba and Randall Park, and released a first-look photo, which you can see above.

Using Kate Andersen Brower’s book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House as a jumping-off point, the Netflix series is described as a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion.

Aduba stars as Cordelia Cupp, a consulting detective for the Metropolitan Police Department. Known for her wry humor, relentless pursuit of truth, and sharp eye for human behavior, Cupp is the most sought-after detective in the world—and an avid birder to boot. Park is FBI Special Agent Edwin Park, who is tasked with partnering with Cupp during a high-stakes State Dinner. While Park harbors skepticism about Cupp’s unconventional methods,...

Shondaland is giving us another White House scandal this spring. The Residence, a “screwball whodunnit” set in the halls of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, will drop its eight-episode first season on Thursday, March 20, Netflix has announced.

Inspired by Kate Andersen Brower’s book of the same name, The Residence stars Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cupp, “the most sought-after detective in the world.” According to her official description, she’s “wry, funny, relentless, supremely confident, an astute observer of human behavior… and a legendary birder.”

Voltron, an American 1984 animated series is getting turned into a live-action movie with the blessing of the world. With Henry Cavill in the lead role, fans are hoping that the movie will be as iconic as an adaptation can be.

When it comes to Voltron, Henry Cavill means business. For the Amazon MGM movie, it seems that alongside Cavill, Oscar-nominated star Sterling K. Brown has been cast in an undisclosed role.

Henry Cavill’s Voltron Means Business

Fans had a sad departure when Cavill left Netflix’s The Witcher following a creative difference between him and showrunner Lauren Schmidt. However, they felt justified when Cavill claimed that the series did not respect the source material enough to create a proper adaptation.

So technically, there’s nothing that really captures everything that The Office was. There’s a reason why the UK version was adapted into the U.S. version and that there’s now an Australian version out there. That being said, there are some great comedies that gets to the heart of it.

The Office was more than just a workplace comedy. It brought us relationship dynamics that shouldn’t have worked, and we got to see character growth we didn’t initially think was possible. It was funny and heartfelt at the same time.

When you need something else like it, you’ll want to turn to these five shows. No, the other versions of The Office are not on the list (but they are worth watching)!

Did You Know Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Halloween Episode Became a Tradition? Here’s How It All Started! (Photo Credit – Facebook)

When Brooklyn Nine-Nine introduced its first Halloween heist, fans knew they were in for something unique. Each Halloween, Detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and the rest of the 99th Precinct crew would up the ante with a hilariously chaotic heist. By the time we reached Halloween, the fifth installment of these episodes, the tradition had become a cornerstone of the series—a chance for the characters to try out-cunning each other in a dizzying race to snag a “cummerbund” or “belt” and claim the title of “Ultimate Detective Slash Genius.”

Halloween, the fourth episode of season five, locked the heist into Brooklyn Nine-Nine history. Taking place entirely within the precinct, it captured the 99’s escalating rivalry, with betrayal, handcuffs, and a clever corgi named Cheddar. Things started when Jake...

It all began with a simple bet between Andy Samberg’s Detective Jake Peralta and Andre Braugher’s Captain Raymond Holt.

Exclusive: After Homicide: Life on the Street landed on Peacock several weeks back, Fremantle has struck its first major deals for the remastered version of NBC’s iconic police series, while senior international exec Bob McCourt has teased a potential remake.

Israel’s Yes and Canada’s Bell Media have picked up Homicide, with more deals close, we understand. Starring Andre Braugher, Yaphet Kotto and Melissa Leo, the show based on David Simon’s book ran for more than 100 episodes and seven seasons in the 1990s and is considered by many to be a precursor to Simon’s The Wire. The HD remastered version launched on Peacock over the summer, and Fremantle, which holds non-u.S. rights, is prioritizing at MIPCOM Cannes, according to Fremantle Commercial and International COO McCourt, who said Homicide “revolutionized the crime genre.”

The state murder of George Floyd in the summer of 2020 led a lot of people to take stock of their lives and values. Protests were attended; decisions about charitable giving were revised; media diets were re-evaluated. Vulture’s Kathryn VanArendonk wrote an essay that elucidated the problem: “Cops Are Always the Main Characters.”

Some shows’ producers met the moment head-on, taking accountability for their part in promoting copaganda. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, for example, famously scrapped a whole season’s worth of scripts and wrote life-changing self-reflection by its characters into what ended up being its final season: Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) retired from the NYPD to become a private detective working with clients who’d been victimized by corrupt policing, while Holt (Andre Braugher) and Santiago (Melissa Fumero) devised a plan to defund their department.

Other shows, like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, only committed to portray its cops having a...

John Amos, the actor who found sitcom stardom on Good Times, passed away today at 84.

The fiery Amos often fought the show’s creator Norman Lear about the inauthentic stories the show's writers wanted to tell about the Black community. “The truth of it was when the show first started, we had no African-American writers on the show,” Amos told Sway in the Morning in 2017. “Some of the attitudes they had written, as per my character and, frankly, for some of the other characters as well, caused me to say, ‘Uh-uh, we can’t do this, we can’t do that.’ And they’d say, ‘What do you mean we can’t do this?'”

The writers fought with Amos, pointing to their years in comedy as proof they knew what they were doing. “I’d look at each and every one of them and say, ‘Well, how long have you been Black?...

Yesterday, horrormeister Stephen King tweeted: “Salem’S Lot trailer is coming. It’s a good one.” And now that the trailer has arrived, it’s confirmed King was telling the truth. There’s a lot packed into the two-minute trailer, and it effectively captures the creepy, suspenseful, and terrifying vibe.

The film stars Lewis Pullman as Ben Mears, Alfre Woodard as Dr. Cody, Makenzie Leigh as Susan Norton, and Bill Camp as Matthew Burke. Spencer Treat Clark plays Mike Ryerson, Pilou Asbæk is Straker, and John Benjamin Hickey is Father Callahan.

“Author Ben Mears returns to his childhood home of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of inspiration for his next book only to discover his hometown is being preyed upon by a bloodthirsty vampire,” reads Max’s synopsis. Gary Dauberman (Annabelle Comes Home) adapted Stephen King’s bestselling 1975 novel and directs. Dauberman’s also an executive producer along with Mark Wolper,...

The great James Earl Jones has left an amazing legacy behind in movies but some may be overlooking his fun TV work!

With that epic, deep voice, James Earl Jones was one of the most recognizable and amazing actors of any generation. He’ll always be known for voicing Darth Vader in Star Wars and Mufasa in The Lion King, as well as far too many movies to count. He’s an Egot winner (a lifetime achievement Oscar) as well as other awards and his passing has led to a good look at his career. It's why his passing at the age of 93 feels like a tremendous loss as generations grew up knowing Jones and his film work.

Yet it can be overlooked how Jones had a surprising number of TV appearances. Most were in guest star turns for one episode like Everwood, but others could be more notable. To mark his passing,...

Before his passing late last year, Andre Braugher cemented his legacy as one of the most iconic actors with his performance as Captain Raymond Holt in the sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine. However, despite delivering one of the most effortlessly hilarious performances in a sitcom, Braugher never won an Emmy Award for his role in the series.

In that regard, Braugher’s performance, especially its impact on the show’s success is comparable to Neil Patrick Harris’ brilliant performance as Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother. Both actors played characters of their opposite true personalities and delivered heartfelt performances. As a result, it is a shame that neither actor received an Emmy for their most popular television role.

During the actor’s reigning era, Kevin Costner made quite a name for himself after his Hollywood debut during the mid to late-1980s. With sports dramas being all the rage at the time, Costner caught a lucky break as 2 of his earliest films, Field of Dreams and Bull Durham, helped establish the young striving artist as a fully recognized actor and the industry’s next in-demand movie star.

However, Kevin Costner’s current presence in modern television has been a highly disruptive event following his voluntary self-exile from the Yellowstone series finale. But despite the controversies, the recent media traffic involving Costner has only attracted the major Hollywood studios to cash in on the sudden upsurge in popularity by reviving his older mid-budget films via reboots and remakes.

Homicide: Life on the Street is streaming on Peacock, bringing joy to fans of its original ’90s run, fans of Andre Braugher, and those who will become fans after their first viewing.

This popular and critically beloved show has been available on DVD for years but was Mia on any streaming service until now.

Homicide: Life on the Street joins two other classic shows, Moonlighting and Northern Exposure, that were lost to streaming until recently.

Like Homicide: Life on the Street, these two shows had at least been available for purchase on DVD, whereas many other shows from that era weren’t so lucky.

The world of entertainment is full of numerous characters that broke the conventional narrative and went on to gain timeless popularity, not only because of the way they were written but largely due to the way they were portrayed. The late actor Andre Braugher’s Brooklyn 99 role is one of the many heralded thus.

In a career spanning decades and marked by powerful complex performances, Braugher taking on the role of Captain Raymond Holt was certainly surprising, a feat he himself doubted initially. However, after being convinced of his talent, the late actor himself couldn’t help but remark that in somebody else’s hand, the role would have turned out to be something foolish.

There’s no question that Homicide: Life on The Street should be considered part of the Dick Wolf universe.

The gritty 1990s police drama was revolutionary in several ways, some of which make it feel refreshingly modern when watching it on Peacock several decades after it ended.

It also has one direct connection with Law & Order: Svu, and its fingerprints are all over some of Dick Wolf’s other shows.

(NBC/Screenshot)

John Munch Was The Bridge Between Shows The Character Originated on Homicide Before Transferring To Svu

The most obvious reason Homicide should be considered part of the Dick Wolf universe is that Richard Belzer’s John Munch appeared on both Homicide and Law & Order: Svu.

Munch was quite the traveler after Homicide ended, making cameos in The X-Files and The Wire in addition to being part of the Svu unit for its first 15 seasons.

Sometimes it’s hard to revisit a favorite TV series you haven’t seen in decades. Will the show hold up or be hopelessly dated? Happily, NBC’s groundbreaking 1993-98 police series “Homicide: Life on the Street” is just as brilliant as it was three decades Peacock recently dropped all seven seasons as well as 2000’s “Homicide: The Movie.”.

As NPR noted: “It was a cop show without gun battles or car chases, with a bracing shot of street-level realism; film mostly in Baltimore. ‘Homicide’ presented stuff you just didn’t see on network television back then: shaky, kinetic camera work, working stiff police detectives cracking jokes at gruesome murder scenes…serialized stories that arced over several episodes, heart-rending killings that never get solved.”

The series, which was set in the fictional Baltimore Police Department Unit, was based on David Simon’s (“The Wire”) 1991 book “Homicide: A Year in the Life of the Killing Streets.

Before people got tired of seeing Chris Pratt in everything, the actor was reportedly set to star in a TV show remake of an ‘80s classic. The Jurassic World star was reportedly set to headline a series based on Kevin Costner’s Field of Dreams, which would reunite him with his Parks and Recreation showrunner Michael Schur.

According to a new report, the actor ‘abruptly’ dropped out of the project, which was set to cost $15 million per episode. The original film was done for a budget of $15 million and was a commercial success, earning $84 million at the box office. Pratt may have dodged a bullet by departing from the project as it is a well-known classic.

Even before Peacock announced that Homicide: Life on the Street would make its streaming debut on August 19, Kyle Secor had been pondering the seven seasons he spent on the gritty, critically acclaimed NBC drama. The deaths of costars Richard Belzer and Andre Braugher in 2023 rekindled his memories of playing Baltimore police detective Tim Bayliss, who began as a naive rookie and grew into a hardened veteran over the course of 122 episodes, from 1993 to 1999, and a final TV movie in 2000. “It was an amazing experience for almost the entire seven years,” Secor tells TV Insider. “What stands out mostly is the freedom we were given as actors to lead the action rather than have to correspond to a camera setting, the way that you collaborated with the writers creating the character, and just working with all the different personalities and the amazing talents that were there on a daily basis, from...

After working on soap operas and small roles in small-budget projects for years, Fumero got the opportunity to audition alongside the legendary Andy Samberg in a show that could become highly televised.

Before David Simon debuted his groundbreaking socio-political tapestry “The Wire” to audiences and helped garner the prestige HBO now only reserves for “Game of Thrones” and superhero spinoffs, he wrote the book on the world of crime and law enforcement in Baltimore. Published in 1991, his non-fiction book “Homicide: A Year of Killing Streets” pools two years of research from Simon’s time spent observing the Baltimore Police Department, which itself followed four years spent on the police beat for The Baltimore Sun newspaper.

Wishing to adapt the book into a feature film, Simon got a copy to filmmaker and Baltimore native Barry Levinson, who felt the material was better suited to a TV series. Levinson shared with Paul Attansio, a former Washington Post film critic whose would go on to write the Oscar-nominated “Quiz Show,” as well as “Donnie Brasco,” and together the team brought the project to NBC, where...

Homicide: Life on the Street has been absent from streaming, but the critically acclaimed crime drama has finally found a new home and will launch next month. It has been announced that all seven seasons of Homicide: Life on the Street will be available on Peacock in the US starting on August 19th. All 122 episodes have been remastered for HD and 4K viewing, and Homicide: The Movie is also included.

The series was based on David Simon’s book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets and was created by Paul Attanasio. It followed the Baltimore Police Department’s Homicide Unit. Bleak and unglamorous, the show was praised for its more realistic treatment of detectives and their work; threads weren’t always tied up at the end, and criminals sometimes got away. It also boasted one hell of a cast, including Andre Braugher, Ned Beatty, Yaphett Kotto, Melissa Leo, Giancarlo Esposito,...

The peak television renaissance didn't happen overnight. A decade prior to the epochal debut of "The Sopranos" on HBO, series as disparate in their aims as "The Simpsons," "Twin Peaks" and "The Larry Sanders Show" were challenging the industry's notions of what the broadcast medium could accomplish. Dramatic story arcs began to stretch out over a season or longer, while sitcoms got edgier and less hidebound to the multi-camera format. These successes emboldened major filmmakers to try their hand at episodic TV, which didn't always pan out. But it was always thrilling to see great artists romp about in a medium Hollywood once considered beneath them.

Of these efforts, it's possible none had a greater influence on the peak era than NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Street." When Baltimore Sun reporter David Simon began shopping his book "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets," an account of his time...

“Homicide: Life on the Street” and “Homicide: The Movie,” which has been remastered to HD and 4K for the very first time, will make its streaming debut in the U.S. on Peacock beginning August 19.

With a determined cast of characters that never let up in their quest for truth and justice, this gripping hourlong series remains the standard bearer of how police handle the job both professionally and personally.

From Universal Television, “Homicide: Life on the Street” originally launched on NBC in 1993 and ran for seven seasons, for a total of 122 episodes. It was succeeded by “Homicide: The Movie” in 2000, which served as the series finale.

With a determined cast of characters that never let up in their quest for truth and justice, this gripping hourlong series remains the standard bearer of how police handle the job both professionally and personally.

From Universal Television, Homicide: Life on the Street originally launched on NBC in 1993 and ran for seven seasons, for a total of 122 episodes. It was succeeded by Homicide: The Movie in 2000, which served as the series finale.
