“We were so over the moon by these nominations, just because I feel like other writers’ opinions are the ones that end up mattering the most because your peers are the people who really understand how difficult this is,” says “Yellowjackets” creator Ashley Lyle about the recognition she received from her peers in the Writers Guild of America. We talked with Lyle for our panel of 2022 WGA Award nominees along with Sarah Burgess (“Impeachment: American Crime Story”), Kerry Ehrin (“The Morning Show”), John Hoffman (“Only Murders in the Building”) and Drew Michael (“Red Blue Green”).

“Whether it’s mental health or personal issues that I struggle with, that’s always been a big impetus for writing the material in the first place,” says comedian Drew Michael about his latest special “Red Blue Green” and his candid approach to stand-up in general. Those emotions are the “catalyst to even get on stage in the first place.” They “drive the need, or if I’m being kinder to myself, the desire to perform and to express these things.” We talked with Michael as part of our panel of 2022 Writers Guild Awards nominees. Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Nominations for the 2022 Writers Guild Awards were announced on Thursday, and quite a few members of TV’s freshman class — including Disney+’s Loki, Showtime’s Yellowjackets and Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building — found themselves on this year’s list.
HBO Max’s Hacks and FX’s Reservation Dogs were also among the rookies to net multiple nods, while veterans like Succession and The Handmaid’s Tale — both nominated in previous years — are in the running once again.

Wake up, Neo.
It’s December 2021 and to celebrate HBO Max is bringing back a classic sci-fi franchise for one last ride. The list of new releases on HBO Max this month is highlighted by The Matrix Resurrections on Dec. 22. This is the long-awaited return to the reality-bending saga from The Wachowskis. Writer/director Lana Wachowski returns as do stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss as Neo and Trinity, respectively. This time around it’s 20 years after The Matrix Revolutions and “Neo lives a seemingly ordinary life as Thomas A. Anderson in San Francisco where his therapist prescribes him blue pills. Neither he nor Trinity recognize each other. However, Morpheus offers him the red pill and reopens his mind to the world of the Matrix.”

With just one week to go before the Oscars inundate Hollywood with the final event of this year’s awards season, one last guild had some awards of its own to give out. It’s safe to say that no one does it quite like the Writers Guild, which traditionally holds not one, but two awards ceremonies, with both New York and Los Angeles playing home to evening events that unfold simultaneously. On Sunday evening, the NYC crowd hit the Edison Ballroom for a Roy Wood, Jr.-hosted show, while the Angeleno arm was back at the Beverly Hilton, hosted by Chelsea Peretti.
Despite missing out on an Oscar nod, it was Bo Burnham’s feature directorial debut, “Eighth Grade,” which walked away with the win for Best Original Screenplay, while Best Adapted Screenplay honors went to “Can You Ever Forgive Me?,” written by Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty.

A man stands on a darkened stage. We’ve heard his voice before, talking to another person — female, British — over a neutral, purple-tinged background. But now he’s addressing us, pacing in a tight close-up, about relationships, patterns, larger arcs, insecurities, fears. He’s a little manic, bobbing and weaving, hands moving somewhere around 120 mph. “My therapist, I told him my whole life story, really opened up to him. He said it was some ‘commitment thing’ …. So then I had to stop seeing him.” Wait, was that a joke? Is this a bit?...

HBO is pitching its Camping tent in the fall. The premium cabler said today that its new comedy starring Jennifer Garner and David Tennant will premiere Sunday, October 14.
At TCA today, also set the premiere dates for a pair of comedy specials: Flight of the Conchords: Live at the London Apollo will touch down October 6, and Drew Michael‘s self-titled first stand-up for the cabler, bows August 25.
Here’s the logline for the eight-episode series executive produced by the Girls duo of Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner: A group of old friends arrives at the underwhelming Brown Bear Lake campsite to celebrate a landmark birthday, sparking heightened emotions, latent tensions (sexual and otherwise) and memories they’d rather forget. The obsessively organized and aggressively controlling Kathryn (Garner) gathers together her meek sister, her holier-than-thou ex-best friend and a free-spirited tagalong to mark husband David’s 44th birthday – and what was supposed to be a delightful,...
