There may be a few more F-bombs dropped around the Magic Kingdom.

The Walt Disney Company has enjoyed a squeaky clean image as the preeminent provider of family-friendly entertainment. However, things may get a little less wholesome with the upcoming acquisition of much of 21st Century Fox’s film and television assets, a $71.3 billion purchase that will bring darker brands such as FX and Fox Searchlight into the Disney fold. It also means that Fox, which has reaped big profits making R-rated Marvel superhero films such as “Deadpool” and “Logan,” will now be reunited with the Avengers, a team of heroes that never breaches the PG-13 parameters while saving the world.

On a call with investors, Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger said that Disney will continue to make R-rated Deadpool movies and other adult-oriented Marvel adventures after it absorbs much of Fox.

“We will continue in that business,” promised Iger,

It's not every day that I get to write about movie news that genuinely excites me, but fortunately, today is one of those days, as Billy Eichner has signed on to write and star in an untitled romantic comedy from power-producer Judd Apatow and director Nick Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall). See, I'm a big Eichner fan from way back, and I believe there are few comic performers more deserving of headlining their own movie, let alone one as fairly groundbreaking as this one. In what way, you ask? Well, according to Deadline, Eichner's film will follow …

It’s the end of a comedy era for ABC: “Modern Family” has been renewed for an 11th and final season in 2019-20.

The 20th Century Fox Television series has been an anchor of ABC’s primetime schedule since its premiere in 2009. Created by Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, the domestic comedy revolving around an extended family that won five consecutive Emmy Awards for best comedy series from 2010 to 2014. The show and its stars have picked up countless other awards, from Peabody honors to SAG, DGA, WGA and PGA kudos.

“Modern Family” has seen its seen its audience decline in recent season but it consistently ranks among ABC’s top five scripted series. The show, now in its 10th season, had been expected to wrap its run with season 11.

“Chris and Steve have created one of the most seminal and iconic comedies in television history,” said Karey Burke, president of ABC Entertainment.

ABC has renewed "A Million Little Things" for a second season, "The Good Doctor" for a third, and "Shark Tank" for an 11th run, the network announced Tuesday at the Television Critics Association press tour.

Below are the particulars of each series and their respective coming runs. The rest of this post is all in ABC’s own words.

Taika Waititi is ready to jump back into another Marvel project, but it won't be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

The beloved Kiwi director ragnarok'd up to FX's TCA press tour this week to promote his new TV series, a spin-off of his cult classic mockumentary, What We Do in the Shadows, where he confirmed that he's still in talks with Marvel about directing a new film in the never-ending Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Deadline revealed that, upon being pressed for details about his plans for any further projects with Marvel, Waititi made sure to state categorically that he was absolutely not interested in taking over Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 from ousted director James Gunn, but added “I’m still hanging

In a deal between Nickelodeon and Netflix, Nickelodeon Studios is producing two original, animated feature films based on Nickelodeon TV series, “The Loud House” and “Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

Viacom CEO Bob Bakish announced the news on Viacom’s first-quarter earnings call Tuesday. He added that the deal is significant because the deal is only for films and does not involve either TV series.

“This is both incremental business and powerful promotion for the two franchises,” Bakish said on the call.

“The Loud House” is an animated series created by Chris Savino that has been on air since 2016 about an 11-year-old boy named Lincoln Loud who lives in a house with 10 sisters. Savino was fired from the show back in Oct. 2018 following sexual harassment accusations.

Kenya Barris’ “Bewitched” reboot is not moving forward at ABC this pilot season, TheWrap has learned.

The project, which received a pilot production commitment from the network in August, has been rolled off the broadcaster’s current cycle, an individual with knowledge of the decision tells TheWrap. However, it still remains in active development, with the person saying ABC is excited about the reboot and wants to take the time to get it right.

Barris and “Black-ish” writer and co-producer Yamara Taylor were set to write and executive produce the single-camera reboot of the popular 1960s sitcom, which would feature an interracial family formed when Samantha, a black hard working, single mom who happens to be a witch, marries Darren, a white mortal who happens to be a bit of a slacker. They struggle to navigate their differences as she discovers that even when a black girl is literally magic,

Netflix has placed a series order for a new mother-daughter thriller series from some of the creative minds behind Showtime’s “Homeland” and HBO’s “Big Little Lies.”

The streamer has picked up “Pieces of Her,” an eight-episode adaptation of crime author Karin Slaughter’s 2018 New York Times best seller, with an all female creative team behind the show.

“Homeland” director Lesli Linka Glatter (above right) will direct the series and executive produce, with “Homeland” and “House of Cards” writer Charlotte Stoudt penning the scripts, executive producing and acting as showrunner. “Big Little Lies” executive producer Bruna Papandrea will also executive produce the series under her Made Up Stories banner, along with Casey Haver, Jeanne Snow and Steve Hutensky.

Here’s the official logline for the series: When a Saturday afternoon trip to the mall with her mother suddenly explodes into violence, an adrift young woman’s conception of her mother is forever changed. As figures from her mother’s past start to resurface, she is forced to go on the run and on that journey, begins to piece together the truth of her mother’s previous identity and uncovers secrets of her childhood.

Casting announcements for the series will come at a later date.

Last month it was announced that The CW has placed a pilot order for a Riverdale spinoff based upon the Archie Comics title Katy Keene, and now we’ve got our first piece of casting news for the potential series.

As reported by Deadline, Riverdale star Ashleigh Murray – who plays Josie McCoy of Josie and the Pussycats fame – will be reprising her role as one of the leads in Katy Keene. The description reads as follows:

Spinning off from her time in the small town of Riverdale, a now 20-something Josie McCoy (Murray) sets off on a new adventure to make it in the big city. More determined than ever to break into the music scene as the next Diana Ross, Josie finds herself forging new friendships, falling into new relationships, and, one day, becoming the star she is destined to be.

The pilot will take place several years after

Freeform has picked up “Good Trouble” for a second season, the network announced Tuesday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.

The renewal comes after the “Fosters” spinoff has aired only four episodes to date, with the fifth set to air tonight. The show launched in early January on the basic cabler. Last week’s episode delivered new series highs in the women 18-34, women 18-49, and females 12-34 demographics in Live+3. Through its first three episodes, the series is averaging 939,000 viewers per episode across all platforms.

“Grown-ish” has been renewed for a third season, Freeform announced Tuesday.

The series, which comes from Kenya Barris, is a spinoff of ABC family comedy “Black-ish,” centered on eldest Johnson daughter Zoey (Yara Shahidi) as she navigates collegiate life. With stories told through a millennial lens, the show explores a wide berth of social, political and relationship issues facing students in the world of higher education.

“At Freeform, our shows are uncompromising and bullish on what’s possible when young adults are empowered to be themselves and share their voice about the things that define them and their generation,” said Tom Ascheim,

It’s pilot season — when broadcast networks decide which of dozens of prospective shows should become full-fledged series.

Fox has ordered pilots for the drama “neXt” and the single-cam comedy “Adam & Eve.”

“neXt” is described as a fact-based thriller grounded in the latest A.I. research. It features a brilliant but paranoid former tech CEO who joins a Homeland Cybersecurity Agent and her team to stop the world’s first artificial intelligence crisis: the emergence of a rogue AI with the ability to continuously improve itself.

Manny Coto, who previously worked on Fox shows like “24” and “24: Legacy,” will write and executive produce. John Requa and Glenn Ficarra will executive produce and co-direct the pilot under their Zaftig Films banner.

After a slow opening month to 2019, business is about to pick up as four wide releases hit the box office this weekend. The biggest of the bunch is Warner Bros.’ “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part,” the first direct sequel to the 2014 stop-motion animated hit that launched a series of spinoffs in the intervening years.

Independent trackers are projecting an opening of $45-52 million this weekend from 4,276 screens, but analysts and rival distribution chiefs who spoke with TheWrap say that “Lego Movie 2” has a much higher ceiling. Rivals expect the film to earn a $55-60 million start, closer to the $69 million made by the first “Lego Movie.” WB is projecting an opening in the low $50 million range. Regardless of the figure, “Lego Movie 2” will post an opening higher than any release last month, including “Glass,” which opened to $40.2 million

Tracy Edwards experienced her “first real taste of sexism and misogyny” when she sailed around the world with an all-female crew from 1989 to 1990 — but almost 30 years later, “Maiden” director Alex Holmes doesn’t think much has changed.

At the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, Edwards and Holmes were promoting “Maiden,” which chronicles Edwards’ race around the world with an all-female crew, although male crews dominated the sport. She explained that she was racing with a crew of 17 men and that in the entire race, out of 230 participants, only four were women. That’s when she decided to change it up and skipper the first all-female crew.

“This was my first real taste of sexism and misogyny and at the age of 21, I had no idea it existed,” Edwards told TheWrap’s Beatrice Verhoeven. “So I found myself fighting this battle I had no idea I was going to fight — putting the team together,

Spike Lee is executive producing the civil rights drama “Son of the South,” with his longtime editor Barry Alexander Brown directing from his own screenplay, Variety has learned exclusively.

Brown is up for an Academy Award for editing “BlacKkKlansman.” Lee received Oscar nominations for best picture, director, and adapted screenplay for “BlacKkKlansman.”

“Son of the South” will begin principal photography in Montgomery, Ala., in March. The producers are Colin Bates (“Maggie”), Eve Pomerance (“As Good as Dead”), Bill Black (“Bayou Caviar”), Stan Erdreich, and River Bend Pictures (“Coming Through the Rye”). The cast has not yet been announced.

“Son of the South” is based on the Bob Zellner autobiography, “The Wrong Side of Murder Creek: A White Southerner in the Freedom Movement.” The Alabama native and grandson of a Ku Klux Klan member is pulled into the center of the civil rights movement in 1961. He was inspired by Rev. Martin Luther King,

Nestled in the heart of middle America is a town called Eureka Springs in Arkansas. You might not have ever heard of it, or maybe you passed by it on the way to someplace else. But that seems to be the point of the almost purposely hidden, quiet rural setting that operates on its own system of beliefs. Or so it appears in “The Gospel of Eureka,” a new documentary directed by Donal Mosher and Michael Palmieri that takes audiences to this small section of the country to examine its homegrown politics and allure.

Bordered by predominantly conservative states like Texas, Missouri, and Tennessee, it’s a wonder how Eureka Springs even came to be, with its popular drag bars, where performers sing gospel songs and patrons with crosses around their necks guzzle booze. It’s just another night in this sleepy Christian town that shatters deep-seated images of Bible

CBS has James Corden at 12:37 a.m., immediately following Stephen Colbert. NBC’s Seth Meyers starts two minutes earlier, just a commercial break after Jimmy Fallon calls it a night. ABC airs two 30-minute shows, news program “Nightline” and viral video show “Right This Minute,” across the same hour — is now the time for the Disney-owned broadcast net to add a second late-night comedy/variety show after “Jimmy Kimmel Live?”

We asked new ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke exactly that question today, roughly five hours or so after Jimmy Kimmel himself schlepped all the way out to Pasadena to introduce the former Freeform originals chief to the Television Critics Association during our winter press tour.

Kimmel did a masterful job roasting his new boss and longtime home network, and then Burke endeared herself to the reporters with her college graduation photo, a snapshot of “Bachelor” night at the Burke household,

If you can’t afford healthcare, worry not, says “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson: The Almighty is currently offering a premium “eternal” healthcare plan for free.

In an interview with Fox Business on Tuesday, the former reality TV star said God’s healthcare plan also comes with some rather promising perks, including being raised from the dead.

“Kamala Harris… says elect me, and everything is free,” Robertson told Neil Cavuto. “Look, everybody can have their own healthcare, the government’s gonna finance the whole thing. It is not going to cost but 30 trillion. I’m offering you the greatest deal you ever had. Elect me and everything will be free.”

“She is saying that other people have been getting away with financial murder, will pay for it, the rich, including you,” Cavuto interjected.

Donald Trump’s State of the Union address almost didn’t happen this year because of the government shutdown, but here we are. This will likely be the big political event of the week, and the networks are treating it like it with nearly every single one of them delivering both the speech itself and studio analysis. And CBS News is delivering not one, but two separate State of the Union presentations.

The big one will be a special edition of “CBS Evening News” on CBS proper. This broadcast, which will begin at at the 9 p.m. Et/6 p.m. Pt scheduled start time for Trump’s speech, will be hosted by Jeff Glor with contributions from “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan and CBS News correspondentsNancy Cordes, Major Garrett, Nikole Killion and Ed O’Keefe, along with others.
