The new series is being developed for Disney Plus. The Hollywood Reporter reports that the long-rumored revitalization of the fan-favorite property is now in development by Annabelle maestro Gary Dauberman, who will write, showrun, and executive produce the series; Atomic Monster will also executive produce.

As opposed to the eerie animated teaser that was released earlier this month, the new trailer for American Horror Stories Season 3 zeroes in on the four-episode event in detail, and it’s just as unsettling.

Heck, he was even brought back from the clutches of hell after he saved the world in the series finale to reappear for the final season of Angel. Although two decades have passed since the curmudgeonly vamp appeared on television, he’s back in the new Audible series, Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. Catching up with Marsters during a panel at NYCC, Collider’s Maggie Lovitt picked the actor’s brain about who Spike is all these years later.

The actor reprised his role of the titular character in the 2022 television series, after playing the sorcerer in Ron Howard's 1988 film of the same name. But before audiences had a chance of enjoying the show, the company removed it from its streaming service in what was called a "tax write-off" at the time. Since a physical release of the project wasn't launched before its removal, there currently isn't a legal way to watch the series, erasing months of hard work the cast and crew poured into Willow permanently.

Introduced in Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Season 3 episode, “The Wish,” the pair’s meeting turns into one of chaos after Cordelia wishes that Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) never came to Sunnydale. The episode would prove to be a fan-favorite, landing Caulfield Ford a recurring spot on the series that quickly turned into a series regular. “The Wish” aired 25 years ago and now, Carpenter and Caulfield Ford have returned to their roles in an Audible production titled, Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. During a roundtable interview at NYCC, Collider’s Maggie Lovitt spoke with the leading ladies on what it was like returning to their iconic roles, now two decades in the future.

From Chicago to New York and even Hollywood, nowhere has been safe from the pint-sized slasher’s razor sharp knife. In USA Network and Syfy’s series, Chucky, the doll was back with the first season set in the killer’s hometown of Hackensack, New Jersey, and the second at a Catholic reform school. Making a major (and quite frankly shocking) jump, Season 3 drops Chucky in Washington, DC where he’s managed to infiltrate the first family at the White House. In an interview with Collider’s Britta DeVore, franchise creator, Don Mancini, shared why the most famous home in America made for the perfect setting.

]]> Mon, 16 Oct 2023 19:22:43 GMT https://collider.com/chucky-season-3-white-house-don-mancini-comments/ Back in 1985, when Don Mancini began to pen the script for what would become 1988’s Child’s Play, it’s unlikely that he could’ve imagined just how big the franchise would become. After seven films, Syfy and USA Network greenlit a series based on the possessed killer doll known as Chucky two years ago. Now in its third season, Chucky remains to be a ratings hit, raking in views from new and old fans alike. During an interview with Collider’s Britta DeVore, Mancini shared his thoughts on why, no matter what, Chucky always comes back.

]]> Mon, 16 Oct 2023 19:09:02 GMT https://collider.com/chucky-returns-don-mancini-comments/ While it may not come right out and slap audiences in the face, there’s no doubt that the Child’s Play franchise is a queer one. Don Mancini, the man behind all seven movies and now the three-season-running Syfy, USA Network, and Peacock series, Chucky, has made it a point to create a space within his projects to include the LGBTQ+ community. Whether it’s the cameo appearance of the legendary icon John Waters or the fact that the main characters - Chucky (Brad Dourif) and Tiffany Valentine (Jennifer Tilly) - have a gender non-conforming kid, now known as GG (Billy Boyd, Lachlan Watson), the franchise has always held space for those looking for representation. Taking things one step further, the series’ main protagonists, Jake (Zackary Arthur) and Devon (Björgvin Arnarson) are a young queer couple, arriving full circle in Mancini’s dedication to the queer community.

As the satire news show gets up to speed with everything they have to cover, we’ve been getting episodes whose main topics are less urgent but still relevant all year long, like… diarrhea. This week’s episode used the uncomfortable and inconvenient bowel movement issue to kick off the topic of food safety. After dissing Taco Bell jar products and Honey Smacks – and its “amphibian pervert” mascot – John Oliver started talking about how the FDA has shortcomings that seriously need to be addressed. The issues start with the entity taking, on average, as much as two months to recall products that have been slated as improper for consumption.

The actor was fired from the upcoming animated series Boxtown – a decision that was reached after the actor took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice her support for Israel and calling the bombing of the Gaza Strip “smart.”

There had been concerns over Carol's involvement in the series following some logistical problems but all of that was squashed much to the delight of fans when Carol's return was teased in episode 5. Season 1's epic finale announced Carol's arrival for the first time in the flesh and now, as we look forward to Season 2 dubbed The Book of Carol, AMC has released a new trailer teasing some zombie-killing action from Carol in the series as she continues her mission to reunite with her long-lost bestie, Daryl.

A rising star of reggaeton played by Tyler Dean Flores, the young artist wants to be the biggest act to ever take on the genre, bringing his friends along for the ride to the top as well. His climb toward fame and glory, and all the pitfalls along the way, will be documented in Netflix's new music comedy Neon from executive producer and "King of Reggaeton" Daddy Yankee. Ahead of the series premiere on October 19, Collider is excited to share an exclusive clip that pairs Flores up with Génesis Rodríguez who plays the pop star Isa who's dipping her toes into the world of reggaeton. She and Santi collaborate on a fire new track, but it's not the easiest recording session.

The Chosen, which stars Jonathan Roumie and Elizabeth Tabish in titular roles, has been consistently topping charts on streaming platforms like Amazon Prime, Peacock, and Netflix and is a prime-time favorite on The CW. The series was previously screened in theaters for its Season 3 premiere and finale. However, it’s the first time ever that a show has “chosen” to release its complete season in theaters first.

The images, released by Netflix, show off Diana's final days as she splits her time between being a doting mother to her sons, William and Harry, and spending time with her latest beau, Dodi Fayed. Speaking about her starring role in this season, Debicki (Princess Diana) said: “I think it’s a really unique challenge as an actor, to portray those days. I really just trusted in Peter Morgan’s emotional blueprint that he created for us to follow. It’s his interpretation and I think it made emotional sense to me, so I clung to that. Because, obviously, it’s devastating and it’s fraught and we can never know.”

This premiere marked a significant shift, as it was the first episode without the involvement of co-creator and star Justin Roiland. Roiland's association with the show came to an end in early 2023 when he was dismissed by Adult Swim amidst allegations of sexual assault. Although the charges were subsequently dropped due to insufficient evidence, additional allegations since surfaced in September.

Telling the story of a group of up-and-coming supes studying at the prestigious Godolkin University, the first episodes of the premiere season are now available on the streamer. While Gen V focuses on mostly new faces, they’ve also managed to grab a few familiar characters from the flagship series. Included in the lineup of cameos (so far) are Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy, Chace Crawford’s The Deep, Jessie T. Usher’s A-Train, Colby Minifie’s Ashley Barrett, Claudia Doumit’s Victoria Neuman, and P.J. Byrne’s Adam Bourke.

The sketch revisited those awkward moments when the celebrities read the questions that they don’t quite know how to answer. In the parody, Disney has a new TV show, and it’s all about Stark Labs! The cast members are ready to promote the Disney+ series and are excited to talk about themselves. But for one actor, it’s less about actually getting to know him at all.

This week, they had a pretty great one with Pete Davidson. Davidson, who returns to SNL as host, goes to see Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy. When he’s in the room with them, they start talking about how they looked up old stand-ups that Davidson was doing when he was 16 years old. The video is a cute look at Davidson when he was younger and shows how dedicated he was to his work as a comedian. What you probably won’t expect is all of Please Don’t Destroy owning Davidson’s past work as a stand-up.

As a variety show, SNL falls under a different rule for the still ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, allowing the show to return, and now we get to see some of our favorite comedians back on screen once more! Davidson returning to the show after he left back in 2022 is exciting because we get to see him in a more hands-on role as a host! As a stand-up comedian, Davidson naturally took to doing his monologue like a stand-up set.

So what better way to poke fun at dads everywhere than by having a Saturday Night Live sketch completely spoofing those football players and hosts who think that Swift is “too girly” for them to talk about? Starting with a post-show chat between Howie Long (Mikey Day) and other hosts like Terry Bradshaw (Molly Kearney), they’re all making jokes about all the Swifties suddenly watching football because of the budding romance between Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The jokes started off slow but built to some good-natured humor as the skit turned into debating who was the biggest Swiftie in the room.

Now that the WGA and the AMPTP have come to a deal that worked for both parties, the show can return because it is technically a variety show and does not fall under the SAG-AFTRA rules. The typical fanfare of a Saturday Night Live cold open was nowhere to be found this week when host Pete Davidson took to the stage to bring a somber message about the week in the news as a whole. Davidson began by saying that the audience may see him as the last person who should be commenting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but that he has a unique perspective on the terrorist attacks from this week.

She’s a pop star, she’s someone who can sell out concerts wherever she goes, and she can even stop into Saturday Night Live to do a quick shout-out for her friend while she’s in New York. Swift, who recently premiered her film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, is in New York City and went to Saturday Night Live — Travis Kelce also appeared in the episode during a sketch all about football, with NFL hosts pretending like they weren't interested in Swift and her music. The two were only there briefly to help carry the weight of some moments of the show's first night back in months and to bring cheers from the audience with their surprise appearances.

After seemingly being defeated in Season 1, Badgey is back for blood in a new sneak peek from the upcoming Lower Decks Season 4 episode "A Few Badgeys More." Collider is delighted to share the exclusive clip, which reveals exactly how Badgey has been biding his time, waiting to get revenge on his Starfleet makers.
