“Choices, choices…,” says the narrator, a young seamstress, in this strange and striking debut from Freddy Macdonald. A neo-noir in the early Coens tradition, Sew Torn also features a bold tri-part structure in which the heroine, Barbara (Eve Connolly) — like Lola before her in Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run — gets three standalone chances to pursue a different destiny after stumbling on the bloody aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong on a quiet country road.
It begins with image of a reel of red cotton, a briefcase and a dead body. This is Barbara, who wonders what we’ll make of her story. Macdonald’s film then loops back to explain who Barbara got here, a tale of chance and coincidence that reshuffles its characters in a way that always surprises,...

Freddy Macdonald’s Sew Torn is a high-stakes crime thriller for everyone that grew up obsessed with choose-your-own-adventure novels. Working through three wildly different timelines, the story follows a mobile seamstress presented with a (truly) life-changing opportunity. After stumbling across a drug deal gone wrong, Barbara (Eve Connolly) is faced with a choice: commit the perfect crime, call the police, or simply drive away. Which would you choose?
Luckily, you’re not left with any lingering questions about what would have happened in either of the three scenarios, because you’re gifted the chance to witness them all! Following the threads of each decision, Sew Torn is divided into nice clean chapters that make for a series of very unfortunate events. In fact, the film opens on the aftermath of each possible timeline, and none look especially promising. It seems each choice leads to ruin but it isn’t the destination that counts,...

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is addressing the series based on her life.
Back in 2019, Hulu released their limited series The Act starring Joey King and Patricia Arquette, which chronicled the alleged abuse that Gypsy (King) endured from her mother Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard (Arquette), who was murdered by Gypsy’s then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn (Calum Worthy).
Following her release from prison, Gypsy revealed in a new interview if she plans on watching The Act.

Today, Spotify, in partnership with Warner Bros. and DC, announced The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark will premiere on Tuesday, October 10 with all 8 episodes available exclusively on Spotify. The series will follow an unexpected adventure from the perspective of one of the most cunning DC Super-Villains in Gotham City, Edward Nygma voiced by Hasan Minhaj. Minhaj leads the cast, reprising his role from last year’s global sensation, Batman Unburied. You can check out a special video message from Hasan here.
Colman Domingo joins the cast as Batman, who begrudgingly teams up with Minhaj’s Riddler to track down a masked vigilante on the loose in Gotham City. The mysterious character is murdering notorious DC Super-Villains all over Gotham City, and all clues point to the suspect being the Caped Crusader himself. Now, with a target on his head, The Riddler is forced to break out of Arkham Asylum and team up with Batman.

Yara Shahidi will be honored with the Youth Empowerment Award during The Cameron Boyce Foundation’s The Cam for a Cause Gala this June in Los Angeles.

Johnny Knoxville will readily admit that, while he had a great time working on Hulu’s Reboot, his first experience as a series regular did not end the way he was expecting.
In an interview published Thursday, Knoxville spoke to Vulture about the comedy from series creator Steven Levitan that was canceled last month after its eight-episode first season premiered in September. Focusing on the cast of an early 2000s sitcom reuniting for a revival, the ensemble show also starred Keegan-Michael Key, Rachel Bloom, Calum Worthy, Krista Marie Yu, Judy Greer and Paul Reiser.
“Of course I would’ve liked it to end differently, but I realize I’m a very lucky human being. We made a great show, and it’ll be there for people to watch forever. That’s a pretty great thing,” Knoxville said. “Hopefully I’m not coming off as angry or sad. I’m so...

The satirical showbiz sitcom “Reboot” will not return for a second season, the show’s creator Steve Levitan said on Twitter Monday night. It’s apparent confirmation that the search for a new home following the show’s cancellation on Hulu has failed.
Hulu declined to renew the show late last month, and at the time Levitan was hopeful of finding a new home for his show on another network or streamer. In his statement Monday, posted on his Twitter account, Levitan also took a subtle dig against Hulu and how the streamer treated the show.

It’s final – there will be no second season for Hollywood-centric comedy Reboot, created and executive produced by Modern Family co-creator Steve Levitan.
Following the recent cancellation of the series by Hulu, Levitan and producing studio 20th Television tried to find another home. There are finished scripts, produced by a writers room that had worked on a potential second season, which were sent to potential buyers. Those efforts have now been exhausted, and Reboot if officially over. Levitan alluded to that in a Twitter post Monday.
“Well, that seems to be a wrap on Reboot,” he wrote. “Very proud of our amazing cast and crew and what we did together.”
He proceeded to take a subtle jab at Hulu’s treatment of the series by saying, “Haven’t seen it? Check us out on Hulu if you can find it,” and ended his message with “#UnintentionalLimitedSeries.”

Welcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.”
“80 for Brady” has plenty for LGBTQ moviegoers to be excited about. Not only does it star icons Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno and Sally Field as friends who take a trip to see Tom Brady play in the 2017 Super Bowl, but Billy Porter plays a halftime show choreographer in the Paramount Pictures comedy.
Now I’ve learned there was even supposed to be a gay kiss. So what happened? Gus Kenworthy says his cameo in the film originally included him “making out” with his on-screen boyfriend, played by “M3GAN” actor Brian Jordan Alvarez, but the scene didn’t make it into the 98-minute movie. “They said they had to cut it for time, but I think they cut it for Middle America,” the Olympic skier told me at the Gold Meets Golden benefit for Angel City Sports on Feb. 4 in Beverly Hills.

"Reboot," Steve Levitan's snarky meta sitcom about a TV series that gets rebooted two decades after its abrupt cancellation, has been canceled. While I'd like to believe that this is all an elaborate scheme to announce a reboot of "Reboot" and make life imitate art, this isn't a bit. Hulu has officially pulled the plug on the short-lived comedy.
During its eight-episode first season, "Reboot" told the story of "Step Right Up," an early 2000s family sitcom being rebooted by Hulu for a new generation. That clever conceit paved the way for plenty of jokes poking fun at the industry through a disgruntled writers' room, an ongoing war with the Hulu executives, and the general insanity of actors navigating the press cycle, Hollywood expectations, and the changing nature of comedy. Plus, it was all wrapped up with the comfortable bow of a workplace comedy. The series starred Keegan-Michael Key,...

First, HBO would shock fans last year by canceling Westworld among the list of slashed shows by HBO Max. Netflix has been canceling a number of shows, and Showtime has now announced discontinuing series due to streaming rebranding. IndieWire has now reported that Hulu has canceled its latest original comedy, Reboot, after one season.
Reboot came from Modern Family creator, Steve Levitan. It was a satire of a once beloved sitcom, called Step Right Up, looking to reboot its show with the original cast returning. The show featured the talents of Keegan-Michael Key, Judy Greer, Paul Reiser, Johnny Knoxville, and Rachel Bloom. Sources are telling IndieWire that Levitan is currently shopping the show to other outlets in an attempt to give it a new home so that it may continue.

Reboot will not be returning for a second season on Hulu.
Steve Levitan's show-within-a-show has been canceled after one season on the service.
The series picks up when An early 2000s family sitcom is rebooted, and the dysfunctional cast must deal with their unresolved issues in today's fast-changing world.
Reboot starred Calum Worthy as Zack, Johnny Knoxville as Clay Barber, Judy Greer as Bree Marie Larson, Keegan-Michael Key as Reed Sterling, Krista Marie Yu as Elaine, Paul Reiser as Gordon, and Rachel Bloom as Hannah.
The series had decent reviews from critics, managing an approval rating of 88.
Hulu has not addressed the cancellation, but given that the freshman season wrapped with multiple cliffhangers, the meta-comedy could return elsewhere.
Deadline reports another streamer may have asked to view scripts for the potential second season.
Levitan shed light on the decision to make the show during TCA last year.

The final episode of Season 1 of Reboot ended on a cliffhanger. In late October, after the first season finale, TV Insider spoke with Levitan, who said at the time, “I didn’t wanna feel like I was forcing a cliffhanger, but I thought it came through very naturally. Some of that stuff was based on things I had seen or experienced, and I feel really good about that ending. ” As to the future of the show, he told us, “I do have some notions going forward, but that’s about it for now.” When the show first debuted last fall,...

The cast of “Step Right Up” should plan to step right up to some new projects. On Monday, Hulu canceled “Reboot,” the meta-satirical series about a sitcom reboot, after just one season.
Sources tell IndieWire that “Reboot” creator Steven Levitan, best known for co-creating “Modern Family” with Christopher Lloyd, is currently shopping the show to other outlets with hopes of finding it a new home.
“Reboot” centered around “Step Right Up”: an early 2000s family sitcom canonically revived at Hulu in 2022. The series sent up and examined the modern TV industry, lampooning studios’ cyclical obsession with reboots and the unsteady streaming business model; along with your old-fashioned backstage drama.
Paul Reiser and Rachel Bloom lead the cast of the series as the original creator of “Step Right Up” Gordon and his estranged daughter Hannah, who are forced to work together as co-showrunners on the reboot. Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville,...

Hulu has canceled the comedy series “Reboot” after just one season, Variety has learned.
The first and only season of the series consisted of eight episodes and debuted on the streamer on Sept. 20, 2022.
The lot of the show began with Hulu deciding to reboot a popular 2000s sitcom called “Step Right Up,” forcing the cast to reunite and confront their unresolved issues.
The series starred Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville, Judy Greer, and Calum Worthy as the show’s original cast members, Rachel Bloom as the millennial writer looking to reboot the show, Paul Reiser as the show’s original creator, and Krista Marie Yu as a former tech exec now working at Hulu tasked with overseeing the reboot.
“Reboot” was created by Steve Levitan, with the show marking his first project since the ending of “Modern Family” in 2020 after eleven seasons.
Levitan also served as executive producer and showrunner on “Reboot.

Hulu has opted not to renew the showbiz sitcom “Reboot” for a second season, the streamer said Monday.
A source close to the production told TheWrap that creator Steven Levitan, a multiple Emmy winner for ABC hit “Modern Family,” is trying to find a new home for the comedy.
The series starred Rachel Bloom as a TV executive who successfully pitches the revival of her favorite 20-year-old sitcom, “Step Right Up,” and the clashes that follow between the cast, crew and writers. It premiered on Sept. 20 to favorable reviews, with Rotten Tomatoes scoring it 88 from 40 critics entries, including from TheWrap’s Thelma Adams, who called it “hilarious” and “consistently laugh-out-loud funny.”
The ensemble included Judy Greer, Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville and Calum Worthy as the original “Step Right Up” cast, Paul Reiser as the series’ creator, and Krista Marie Yu as Hulu’s VP of comedy who’s “new to humor.

Too inside baseball for you, Hulu viewers? Whatever the reason, Reboot — Steve Levitan’s show-within-a-show comedy that starred Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville and Judy Greer — will not see a second season at the streamer.
The single-camera comedy followed execs at Hulu who decide to reboot a family comedy from the 2000s. Actors from the original return to reprise their roles for the reboot, and “deal with their unresolved issues in today’s fast-changing world,” according to the original logline.

“This is no joke. This is catering!” so says Jane Lynch in the short trailer announcing the triumphant return of cult comedy “Party Down.”
The Rob Thomas and Paul Rudd-created cater-waiter comedy, which originally aired for two seasons on Starz beginning in 2009, is serving up (<—see what I did there?) six episodes on the network beginning February 24. If you’ve been hearing people talk about this show for a decade and want to catch up, the 20 beloved episodes are on the Starz app, as well as Hulu. (The first season is on Prime Video.)
Adam Scott is back as the failed actor stuck wearing bowties and attending other people’s parties. In addition to he and Lynch, other original cast members returning include Ken Marino, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen and Megan Mullally. Alas, Lizzy Caplan will not appear in the third season (but her character is referenced).

The Party Down gang is back for seconds in the first full trailer teasing the Starz comedy’s long-awaited return.
In the footage released Thursday ahead of the Feb. 24 launch, Adam Scott reprises his role as actor-bartender Henry Pollard, who finds himself unexpectedly reuniting a decade later with his former co-workers from the Party Down catering team. The series, which has built a cult following, concluded its original two-season run in June 2010.
“This is not how I envisioned my 40s,” Scott tells a fellow member of the crew in the trailer.
During a different moment, a frazzled Constance Carmell (Jane Lynch) exclaims while at an event, “This is no joke. This is catering!”
Also returning from the original cast alongside Scott and Lynch are Ken Marino, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen and Megan Mullally. Lizzy Caplan will not return due to scheduling conflicts.

If you have an event coming up that requires a top-notch catering service, you should call someone other than Party Down. While the gang at Party Down knows how to make a celebration enjoyable, they’re likely to cause chaos behind the scenes, resulting in shenanigans that could be hard to explain to your guests. Starz is ready to start the party today with a new Party Down revival trailer. The party begins on Friday, February 24, on the Starz app and other streaming platforms. The revival also leads a conga line to Starz for a linear debut on Friday, February 24, at 9 Pm Et/Pt.
The Party Down revival trailer is getting us pumped for six all-new episodes that take place ten years after the original series. Several Party Down catering crew members have moved on since the original series, but a mutual event unites them, and the band gets back together.

In the age of revival television, it is still genuinely hard to believe that Starz is bringing the cult comedy favorite "Party Down" back for a long (long!) awaited third season, but it is indeed happening. As evidence of that, we have a brand new trailer for the new batch of episodes, which will be arriving via the premium cable channel next month. And yes, most of the original cast is back! Sadly, Lizzy Caplan isn't here as Casey Klein for another round of "will they, won't they" with Adam Scott's Henry Pollard. Be that as it may, it very much looks like the show folks like myself fell in love with. And in the third season...

It’s about to turn up because “Party Down” is back!
The beloved Starz original comedy series has officially returned 14 years since the show debuted in 2009. Original stars Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Ken Marino, Ryan Hansen, and Martin Starr, plus Season 2 addition Megan Mullally, are reprising their respective roles for the revival series. Lizzy Caplan is the only original actor not returning for the reboot. Check out the trailer below.
The cater-waiter comedy centers on aspiring actor Henry (Scott), whose apathetic bartending skills sustain his dreams of being a Hollywood star. Henry works for Party Down catering company, managed by Ron (Marino). Each episode centered around a different catering job: from Sweet Sixteens to Bar Mitzvahs, funerals to pre-school fundraisers. The series ran for two seasons before being axed in 2010.
“This is not how I envisioned my 40s,” Henry says in the trailer for the highly anticipated revival.

We’re mere weeks away from the long overdue return of Starz’s cult hit series “Party Down,” and as the first trailer will prove, we’re delighted to report the gang are all still living that cautionary don’t-move-to-la life, even into their 40s and 50s. I mean, we’re delighted for you, the fans. We feel kind of bad for the characters.
You can see for yourself at the top of the page. It’s been 10 years and ostensibly they’ve all moved on. But after a surprise reunion, the gang find themselves once again stoically enduring the procession of random parties and oddball guests all over Los Angeles.

It is often said there are no small parts, and that is absolutely the case on the best shows this year.
Every one of the shows on this TV Fanatic team-compiled list sports a collective of talented cast members portraying dynamic characters involved in complex relationships and life situations.
These ensembles run the gamut from comedy to sci-fi to soaring intergenerational drama, but they are unified in how every performer leans in on the team effort, supporting each other to create a show greater than the sum of their lines.
No specific streamer or network holds all the cards when it comes to tight-knit and inspiring ensemble casts.
Instead, it's clear that successful showrunners are smart in selecting actors they sense will work well together, pulling in the same direction and telling stories with fulsome and genuine performances.

Where You Can Stream It: Hulu
The Pitch: Hannah Korman (Rachel Bloom), a writer who's hot off penning her breakout indie movie and will explain the film's hilariously Nsfw title to anyone who will listen, approaches Hulu with her pitch for reviving the hit 2000s sitcom "Step Right Up." Hannah's goal is to make the multi-camera comedy show edgier and more mature while bringing back the original cast, all of whom have gone their separate ways over the past 15 years. Their ranks include Reed Sterling (Keegan-Michael Key), who moved to New York to pursue a mostly-failed career in theater and film; Bree Marie Jensen (Judy Greer), who used to date Reed before leaving her acting career to marry...

Just because she’s playing an actress in her latest TV series doesn’t mean that Judy Greer has anything in common with her character. “The big difference between me and Bree is that she hasn’t worked in 15 years,” Greer says of her role on Hulu’s Reboot, “and I haven’t had a day off in 15 years — pandemic aside.”
A meta farce of Hollywood, Reboot stars Greer as one of several down-on-their-luck performers who get a windfall when their schlocky early aughts sitcom gets revived at … Hulu. It’s full of industry satire, including older writers clashing with the next generation and programming executives with no experience in programming.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Reboot, Season 1, Episode 8, “Who’s the Boss.”] Hulu‘s meta-comedy Reboot left viewers on quite a few hooks as its first season came to a close with the installment, “Who’s the Boss.” Following the production of a sitcom reboot for a fictional show titled Step Right Up, the series chronicles the behind-the-scenes drama of its stars as they work together to bring a more modern version to Hulu subscribers. While the season finale implemented new romantic dynamics as well as hurdles for some of the stars, Step Right Up‘s creatives hit a wall of their own in an unexpected twist. Reboot ceator Steven Levitan (Modern Family) helped situate his all-star cast — Keegan-Michael Key, Judy Greer, Johnny Knoxville, Paul Reiser, Rachel Bloom, Calum Worthy, and Krista Marie Yu — with strong Season 2 possibilities, should the series be renewed.

Sitcoms about dysfunctional families are old news. Now, from the creator of "Modern Family" comes the future of the genre: a snarky meta-comedy about a dysfunctional TV cast. "Reboot" tells the story of "Step Right Up," an early 2000s family sitcom that's being rebooted for a new generation. It may not be a tale as old as time, but it's certainly a timely concept given the overwhelming power of nostalgia. We've got reboots coming out the wazoo, so it was only a matter of time before nonexistent shows started getting the same treatment.
The fictional sitcom in question was a long-running hit that now lives out its days being constantly replayed on a streaming service. Then along comes Hannah Korman (Rachel Bloom), a cutting-edge indie screenwriter who wants to helm the reboot. Hannah has big ideas for the future of "Step Right Up": she wants to make it morally complex,...

In Hulu’s “Reboot,” a meta comedy from “Modern Family” creator Steven Levitan, Johnny Knoxville plays edgy stand-up comedian Clay Barber. After multiple stints in jail, he gets the chance to reprise his role in a wholesome family sitcom after, yes, Hulu, decides to reboot it 20 years later.
Unlike Clay, Knoxville is “very good” at dubbing lines and is — at least according to his co-star Keegan-Michael Key — “an absolute gentleman.” But the 51-year-old actor and stuntman admits that there’s “more than a little” of himself in his character. Both were branded as bad boys and lived fast lifestyles in the public eye. Eventually, Knoxville had to cool off, and in the cleverly named “Reboot,” Clay works to turn his life around and stay sober.

This article contains spoilers for Reboot through episode 4.
What makes the classic multi-camera sitcom format so nostalgic for TV fans? Is it that the people depicted onscreen behave in a way we wish we did and experience lives we wish we had? Or is it because episodes are only about 22 minutes without commercials, and therefore don’t require a lot of thinking after a long day?
From Gilligan’s Island to Seinfeld, the classic sitcom has always found a way into our lives in some form or fashion. We all have our own personal favorites. I remember turning on Nick at Night daily at around 10 p.m. when I was in middle school and high school, eager for the calming, yet chaotic voice of George Lopez on his self-titled sitcom. For others, their favorite comedy might be Full House, a show every child since the 1980s has seemingly been forced to watch in some capacity.
What makes the classic multi-camera sitcom format so nostalgic for TV fans? Is it that the people depicted onscreen behave in a way we wish we did and experience lives we wish we had? Or is it because episodes are only about 22 minutes without commercials, and therefore don’t require a lot of thinking after a long day?
From Gilligan’s Island to Seinfeld, the classic sitcom has always found a way into our lives in some form or fashion. We all have our own personal favorites.

A number of things about Hulu's latest sitcom "Reboot" are extremely meta. The series was created by Steven Levitan, who has worked on some of the most popular sitcoms in history such as "Wings," "Frasier," and "Modern Family," and it lovingly calls back to the corniest family sitcoms of the late 1990s and early 2000s. And like many of the revivals of these shows, this series also looks to the past to deliver heartfelt messages to a modern audience in a way that honors the history of the medium. But this show starring Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville, Judy Greer, Rachel Bloom, Calum Worthy, and Paul Reiser pays homage to the ones that came before it in more ways than just the impeccable writing.
Thanks to a new interview, we learned that a major part of the fictional sitcom from the new Hulu Original was actually repurposed from a real life sitcom.

Johnny Knoxville Is Still Doing His Own Stunts On Reboot, Including Getting Hit By A Car [Exclusive]
If you thought that serious-looking collision with a bull from "Jackass Forever" was enough to send Johnny Knoxville out of commission from stunt work, you'd be wrong. You should know by now that a little hospital trip wouldn't keep this man down for long! Sure, while an official "Jackass" revival might not be in the works, he's still up to his old tricks on Hulu's newest comedy series, "Reboot."
/Film's Ethan Anderton recently spoke with Knoxville and co-star Judy Greer about the show, where they play cast members of a revived sitcom navigating the tumultuous 2020s comedy space. Knoxville, in particular, is introduced in spectacular fashion, with star Keegan-Michael Key accidentally running into him on set. And when we say "run into," we mean it – when walking through the backlot, Key's character accidentally hits Knoxville with his car. According to him and Greer, he did that stunt himself.

Calum Worthy and Krista Marie Yu have plenty of TV experience between them. Worthy rose to fame by starring in Disney Channel shows like "Austin & Ally" before graduating to more mature subject matter in "American Vandal" and "The Act." Meanwhile, Yu appeared regularly on more recent sitcoms like "Dr. Ken" with Ken Jeong and "Last Man Standing" with Tim Allen. That made starring in Hulu's new meta sitcom comedy "Reboot" a bit surreal and therapeutic.
"Reboot," from "Modern Family" creator Steven Levitan, follows the creation of a revival of the fictional early 2000s sitcom "Step Right Up," a riff on shows like "Full House" and "Step by Step." In the series, Worthy plays Zack, the formerly cute child star of the original sitcom that's being rebooted with the same cast, which includes Keegan-Michael Key, Judy Greer, and Johnny Knoxville as his co-stars. Yu has an even more meta role as Elaine,...

Love was in the air Monday night on the Fox lot.
The studio hosted the premiere of Hulu’s new sitcom Reboot from creator Steven Levitan and one could say that the affection started at the top and trickled down.
“I’d say it’s a love letter, and maybe also a friendly roast,” offered Levitan on the red carpet prior to the screening, describing the tenor of his new show that follows the adventures of a dysfunctional cast from an early 2000s hit sitcom called Step Right Up after a show runner pitches a reboot of their show to Hulu.
What it’s definitely not is a mean-spirited takedown of Hollywood, hence all the good vibes in and around the Daryl F. Zanuck Theater and all the glowing executives. “I’ve had a wonderful career,” continued Levitan, who has armfuls of Emmys...
