Sony Pictures Classics has acquired the North American rights to the feature film Wicked Little Letters, a foul-mouthed period comedy starring Olivia Colman (The Crown) and Jessie Buckley (Fingernails). The film, which reteams former The Lost Daughter co-stars, is based on a true story of a dark and absurd nineteenth-century
Netflix
Some of the best period dramas on Netflix can be found among the streamer's international offerings, from the German series The Empress and Italian romp The Law According to Lidia Poet to Spain's Cable Girls. But it sounds as though its next big international production will
HBO & HBO Max
The second season of Max drama Julia is set to premiere in November, and will take viewers on a journey that encompasses everything from the decadent French Riveria to the White House Kitchen itself as the popularity of the famous chef --- and her groundbreaking public television series --- keeps

Doctor Who
David Tennant and Catherine Tate aren't the only familiar faces returning to help celebrate the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who. While Tennant and Tate are set to star in the trio of special episodes marking the series' landmark birthday --- as the Fourteenth Doctor and returning companion
BritBox
This England, with all six episodes arriving on BritBox to kick off November 2023, is a bit of a trainwreck, just like Boris Johnson’s government which failed the English people so badly in the COVID-19 crisis of 2020. You have to wonder why co-director/co-writer Michael Winterbottom (The Look

Holiday films are one of the few guaranteed ways to bring in audiences left in the TV landscape left in the wake of the streaming revolution. Part of it is the dated nature of the holiday experience -- no one watches Christmas tree lightings in January, and there's
