Created by JJ Bailey who wrote the pilot episode, The Hunting Party is a high-concept crime procedural about a small team of investigators who are assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers our country has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from a top-secret prison that’s not supposed to exist.

Sabongui portrays Ryan Hassani. Rugged and world-worn but with a casual air, Hassani is a CIA agent tasked with managing the crisis.

The Hunting Party, which received a straight-to-series order, is executive produced by Bailey and Jake Coburn who are writing and co-showrunning together.

Boys’ Love, or ‘Bl’ as it is also known, was once a minor and lightly regarded type of Japanese manga catering mainly to female fans, delivering stories of handsome young guys falling in love with each other.

Now its popularity has spread beyond Japan to much of East Asia and beyond, while metamorphozing into a film, TV and online genre with millions of fans. Just how big Bl has become was evident in a Wednesday Tiffcom seminar on the Bl phenomenon in Thailand: Beyond Borders: Exploring the Global Appeal and Diversity of Thailand’s Boys’ Love Contents.

The eleven speakers, including an official from the Office of Commercial Affairs, Royal Thai Embassy in Japan, vigorously pitched partnerships with Japanese content companies, which seemed to be a classic case of selling ice to Alaska’s indigenous inhabitants.

Members of the packed seminar room might beg to differ, however. From the presentations of the speakers,...

Higher prices, fewer shows and more franchise spin-offs: The bill for peak TV is coming due, and media companies are hoping they can pass on the cost to consumers and shareholders.

Paramount is just one of many media companies looking to rationalize their portfolios: Consider Disney’s Hulu dilemma or Warner Bros. Discovery’s pending plan to combine HBO Max and Discovery+. But Paramount may be moving the most decisively to scale back a famous brand from the era of cable TV to bolster its direct-to-consumer business and cut costs, as investors grow impatient with streaming losses. Like many of its peers, Paramount has also pledged 2023 will be a year of “peak investment,...

Welcome, Matt, to the Bau.

After most of the season has passed, Matt Simmons finally got his spotlight episode on Criminal Minds Season 13 Episode 19.

Simmons came over to the Bau as a refugee from the FBI's International Response Team,  featured on Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, the better of Criminal Minds' two short-lived spinoffs. 

That series always felt to me akin to Law & Order: Los Angeles, full of darkness offset by a good deal of light. That must have been because of the colorful locations and the positivity projected by Gary Sinese's Unit Chief Jack Garrett.

In an interview to the Deccan Chronicle, Druvan said, “The looks from the first year of college to the fourth year are shown. The first year has me in a clean-shaven look and by the fourth year I have a beard. There is also a look in a flashback scene.” He added, “I studied art but by the end of the film, I felt I had finished my engineering course without the certificate.” Having bagged the role through auditions, Druvan has a word of caution to the aspiring actors about fake auditions. He cautions that fake auditions are a part of the business and requested the aspiring actors to be careful during the selection process. Directed by Dijo Jose Anthony, Queen has a set of newbies including Saniya Iyappan, Eldho Mathew, Druvan, Arun H Das, Arun Nandakumar, Ashwin Jose, Jenson Alappat, Moozi, Sooraj Kumar, and Sam Sibin.
