Exclusive: Netflix is taking on The Traitors at its own game. The streamer has ordered The Trust, an eight-part reality series that delves into the theme of greed.
Eleven strangers are given a quarter of a million dollars to split evenly. Will they take their fair share? Or will the allure of more money cause them to vote each other out to keep more for themselves? It’s the ultimate test of human nature, as greed and mistrust threaten to destroy even the strongest of relationships. In this game, everyone starts as winners and they can all leave as winners – if they choose to share.
It’s described as a cross between Peacock’s Alan Cumming-hosted hit and Big Brother.
The series is hosted by Brooke Baldwin, who previously hosted CNN Newsroom and left the news broadcaster in 2021.
It will launch on January 10, 2024 and will air in batches with...

“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” is making some changes to its writers’ room.
Head writer Mason Steinberg is stepping down from the role, which he’s held since 2022, while former head writer A.D. Miles will return to the post, TheWrap has learned.

With movie theaters fully back up and running, HBO Max no longer has any major film releases to point to with its list of new releases for May 2022. That’s alright though as the streamer is leaning into the HBO side of its branding to offer up some fun TV releases.
The biggest HBO Max original this month is undoubtedly the return of Hacks on May 12. The first season of this comedy starred Jean Smart as a venerated Vegas comedy and Hannah Einbinder as her new millennial assistant. The first batch of episodes was excellent and even won an Emmy or two for its troubles and now season 2 will look to keep up the good vibes.
Premiering on May 15, is The Time Traveler’s Wife. This series adaptation of the 2003 novel (which in turn became a a 2009 movie) keeps up with two star-crossed lovers who can never quite make the timing work…...

The arrival of International Woman’s Day is meant to reflect and celebrate the accomplishments and impact women have had on the world at large. That idea couldn’t be anymore important this year, with continued discussions about the need for women and women of color in the job market, especially as Covid has forced them to leave the work sector in droves. This year, WarnerMedia and it’s trio of television networks — TBS, TNT, and truTV — aren’t just celebrating women, but reminding us of the issues that still plague them.
With the help of the animation studio Black Women Animate, the network is running a series of ads aimed at targeting specific women’s issues, from the pay gap to body liberation. Voiced by heavy-hitters like “Full Frontal” host Samantha Bee and “The Misery Index” host Jameela Jamil, the ads hope to make audiences “choose to challenge” these issues.

Time and time again during this year’s pandemic, movie studios have had to make the best of a bad situation. HBO Max’s list of new releases for December 2020 comes along with the most extreme example yet.
WarnerMedia undoubtedly had big plans for Wonder Woman 1984 when it scheduled it for a holiday release last year. After moving it to the summer, however, the conglomerate had to delay its theatrical release time and time again. Now HBO Max is the lucky winner of the saga, as it gets to premiere the long-awaited sequel on its servers on Dec. 25.
While Wonder Woman 1984 is definitely the headline this month, there are some other intriguing streaming options for HBO Max in December. The month plays host to a whole host of high-powered documentaries like Heaven’s Gate: The Cult of Cults (Dec. 3), Alabama Snake (Dec. 9), and the Tiger Woods documentary Tiger (Dec.
