Holy crap! More 'The Knick'!

The Sopranos. The Wire. Game of Thrones. Watchmen. The Knick.

One of those shows are not like the others. Hint: It's the one you probably haven't watched.

The Knick was Steven Soderbergh’s first TV show. He directed every episode of the drama set in a New York hospital in 1900. The series aired on HBO sister channel Cinemax.

Clive Owen starred in The Knick as a somewhat experimental surgeon using what is now seen to be primitive techniques. While Owen put in career-best work and was astounding in the show, the breakout star was a pre-Moonlight André Holland.

Simply, the show was brilliant and deserved a MUCH bigger audience than ever saw it.

Why mention The Knick today? Word has it the show is in the works to make a return. The series original writers Jack Amiel and Michael Begler have been working with André Holland and filmmaker Barry Jenkins on a season 3.

No Kominsky in Kominsky Method

Star of The Kominsky Method Alan Arkin will not appear in the show’s third season, with the character written out for its final season.

Sources with knowledge of the situation say the decision for Arkin to leave the series was made some time ago, and that his departure will be addressed in the storyline for season 3.

My only assumption is that Arkin got around to watching the show. Producers are withholding tapes from co-star Michael Douglas until filming concludes.

Carl has a brand new voice

With the new season of The Simpsons, a bunch of characters are going to start sounding rather different following criticisms of the shows racial depictions.

In the season 32 premiere airing this coming Sunday, we’re introduced to a new voice for Homer’s power plan colleague Carl. He’s voiced by Alex Désert. Here’s where I feel conflicted. I struggle with new episodes of The Simpsons. But, I’ve been a big fan of Alex Désert since I first saw him in the 1990 TV series The Flash (he’s since been a regular on Becker, and appeared in movies like Swingers and High Fidelity). Désert replaces Hank Azaria in the role.

It’ll be interesting hearing new voices for a bunch of these characters. I’m wondering if it may ease the discomfort that viewers might feel when the time comes to start replacing main cast members (which will have to happen one day, surely).

There’s another Father of The Bride coming

Yesterday ABW reported of a Father of The Bride reunion on its way to YouTube by way of Netflix. Well, as always ABW proves it is the go-to destination for all news and updates on the Father of The Bride franchise.

There is a third Father of The Bride film in development. This time the warm hijinks will focus on a Latinx family. Matt Lopez is writing.

The latest film will tell the story of a father coming to grips with his daughter’s upcoming wedding through the prism of multiple relationships within a big, sprawling Cuban-American family. It will be more of a rom-com than previous versions of film.

Speaking of Father of The Bride…

This Friday’s Netflix Father of The Bride special appears to be a bit more involved than just a Zoom call. Apparently Nancy Meyers is writing something for it? Anyway, Netflix released this proper trailer.
