Frank Is Sam & Hannah's Son On 'HTGAWM' & The Clues Were There All Along

Bild
Spoilers ahead for How to Get Away with Murder Season 6, Episode 13 . In a twist so bonkers, almost no one could have predicted it, How to Get Away with Murder revealed in its April 30 episode that Frank is Hannah and Sam's son . Yes, you read that correctly: Sam and Hannah had an incestuous relationship and a child together. Initially, Vivian's suspicion about Sam and Hannah seemed wildly out of bounds. She pointed out that Sam "always used sex to get what he wanted" and insisted that Hannah was the one who taught him that, because they'd both been neglected by their parents and "were desperate for love so they found it in each other." She claimed to have done her research that incest sometimes comes out of neglect, and suggested that Sam and Hannah both became psychologists to try to understand that. She also pointed out that Hannah was always inserting herself into her marriage, and that Annalise must have suspected there was "something ex...

Jack Costello From 'Hollywood' Is Based On An Amalgam Of Real Actors

Bild
A reimagined version of Golden Age Tinseltown, Ryan Murphy's Hollywood stars David Corenswet as Jack Costello , a World War II veteran who moves to Los Angeles in the hopes of making it big. According to Entertainment Weekly , his character is based on an amalgam of several real actors , including Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, and James Dean, who were dubbed " the young mavericks " of their time because they pioneered method acting and became symbols of post-war nonconformity. "My character has a certain optimism, a lack of jadedness, at least at the beginning of the series," Corenswet told EW of Jack, who moves cross-country with his pregnant wife after hearing of the opportunities Hollywood has to offer in a cinema advertisement. Fresh out of war and classically handsome, Jack believes he'll be plucked out of obscurity if he can just land a gig as a studio extra. But he never gets picked. When he tries to convince a casting director to choose him ou...

Is Archie From 'Hollywood' A Real Person? He's Reminiscent Of Two Black Creatives

Bild
Mixing fact with fiction, Ryan Murphy's Hollywood is a revisionist tale of Golden Age Hollywood that poses the question: what if homophobia and racism hadn't stonewalled the careers of so many marginalized creatives? You see this play out with Jeremy Pope's character, Archie , a gay, black man who aspires to be a big name screenwriter. A few of the show's characters are based on real people , but it's unlikely that Archie is one of them. Instead, he seems to be an amalgamation of historical figures whose storyline embodies Murphy's optimistic retelling of history. We're introduced to Archie through protagonist Jack Costello (David Corenswet), who, desperate to make ends meet, has recently begun working at a gas station that's a front for a male brothel. He storms out after refusing to have sex with a male client, and ignorantly headhunts Archie at a gay adult cinema by...dressing up as a cop, pulling a fake gun, and threatening to arrest him.

Who Plays Archie In 'Hollywood'? Jeremy Pope Is A Broadway Alum

Bild
Ryan Murphy's new Netflix show, Hollywood , presents a revisionist version of the film industry in which marginalized players were given a seat at the table much sooner than they were in reality. One of those such people is Archie Coleman, played by Jeremy Pope , a gay, black screenwriter whose script is greenlit to become a major (and ultimately successful) motion picture. According to Deadline, Pope was chosen to play the role by Murphy after he saw him star in the Broadway plays Choir Boy and Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations. This will be Pope's first TV role , as his career has mostly been in theater thus far. In fact, Pope hasn't even been acting professionally that long: both of his Broadway shows opened in 2019. But like Archie, he's had a fast rise to the top. According to Them , Pope is only the sixth person to receive Tony nominations for two separate performances in the same season. He didn't win in either category, but th...

The 'Parks & Rec' Reunion Special Shows Where Everyone Ended Up 5 Years Later

Bild
One small silver lining in the global coronavirus pandemic? It prompted a Parks and Recreation reunion special that shows us where Leslie and co. have ended up five years after the series' ending. Put on to benefit Feeding America, the episode brought back together Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Rob Lowe, Retta, and Jim O'Heir as their characters sheltered at home and connected with each other via a "Phone Tree" conferencing app. Here's what we learned. Leslie Knope As expected, Leslie has been setting up daily check-in calls with all her friends to make sure they're staying safe. She's still working at the Department of the Interior, and informs Ron that she just shut down every national park in her jurisdiction. Unsurprisingly, she also volunteered for several committees to help others during the outbreak — most of which she created herself. "I'm only getting two hours of slee...

Raymond From 'Hollywood' Isn't A Real Person, But Star Darren Criss Inspired The Show

Bild
Though several of the characters in Ryan Murphy's new Netflix show, Hollywood , are based on real people, Darren Criss' Raymond isn't one of them. The actor did, however, help plant the seeds for the show. While out celebrating the awards season success of FX's The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story , Criss proposed to Murphy that he should next tackle the era of 1940s Hollywood. "One thing I told Darren that night was that after Versace , I was interested in doing something much more inspirational and with a happy ending," Murphy recently explained to The Hollywood Reporter . "I really didn't want to see somebody blow their head off with a shotgun again." So, he plotted out Hollywood 's story with co-creator Ian Brennan, and they developed Criss' character: an up-and-coming director who also happens to be half-Asian. Raymond's race adds to the series' examination of identity, particularly as it relates to h...

Will ‘Hollywood’ Return For Season 2? Discussions Have Already Started

Bild
Ryan Murphy's new Netflix period drama, Hollywood , may be billed as a limited series , but there's already been discussion about what the show might look like if it returns for Season 2 . As with many Murphy projects, it would likely be an anthology, jumping ahead to "the late 1960s, with many of the same actors in entirely new roles," according to The Hollywood Reporter. No other details have been revealed about the long-term plans for the show (Netflix hasn't even officially renewed it), but you’d be hard pressed to find a Ryan Murphy series that hasn't been picked up for more than one season: American Horror Story , Nip/Tuck , Pose , even the critically reviled 9-1-1 . Murphy also has a a five-year deal with Netflix , so if he sees a way to continue the story, it's a safe bet that a second season will materialize. And there's a lot to dig into in late '60s Hollywood. As reported by The New York Times , the era is often referred to as "...

Who Plays Rock Hudson In 'Hollywood'? Jake Picking Is Really Into Rapping

Bild
Ryan Murphy's latest Netflix show, Hollywood , harkens back to the golden age of show business, following a number of characters trying to catch their big break. Among the cast are a number of A-list stars and Murphy favorites, including Darren Criss, Patti LuPone, Queen Latifah, and The Politician breakout David Corenswet. But there are also a few new faces, including Jake Picking, who plays Rock Hudson — one of the few characters explicitly based on a real person. One of the most popular movie stars of the '50s, Hudson appeared in dozens of films including Giant , Pillow Talk , and Dynasty. He remained closeted throughout his career and died of AIDS-related complications in October 1985; Hollywood re-imagines a past in which Hudson came out as gay long before the end of his life. "I think that sometimes [Hudson] viewed himself as a villain, because of the secrets that he had to keep," Picking told V Magazine . "[His story] is a tragedy... but I think he ...

Will 'Last Man Standing' Return For Season 9? Season 8 Has An Unexpected Cliffhanger

Bild
Amid the ongoing pandemic, many TV productions suspended filming in mid March, and as a result, the Last Man Standing Season 8 finale isn't the one that was originally planned. Still, FOX did save the show after ABC canceled it in 2017 and ratings have not dipped much, so it's possible Last Man Standing will return for Season 9 — at the very least, to give the season its intended Season 8 ending. FOX has yet to announce anything, however, and the shifted production schedule may delay any possible renewal news. (In comparison, Season 8 was renewed before Season 7 even aired its finale.) On March 15, the studio behind Last Man Standing , 20th Century Fox TV, announced it was suspending production of the show amid coronavirus concerns. According to Deadline, the Last Man Standing cast and crew only had two production days left, which included taping the actual season finale on March 17. Though they had planned on simply filming the finale without a live studio audience, the ...

7 Signs You're Spending Too Much Time Inside & It's Affecting Your Health

Sometimes it's necessary to spend a day cuddled up on the couch watching Netflix, but spend too much time inside, and you might find that your health begins to suffer. The effects of being inside too long might already be cramping your style, but you might not even realize they're a result of spending most of your time cooped up.

When Will Pubs Reopen In The UK? The Coronavirus Crisis Will Have Long-Lasting Impacts

Bild
Before the COVID-109 nationwide lockdown went into effect in the UK, pubs were among the first venues to be closed. While there's not a definitive date for restrictions to be lifted, the Guardian reports that JD Wetherspoon are planning to possibly reopen their pubs in June, which leads us to wonder when other pubs will reopen in the UK , and whether they can do so without government consent? As BBC News stated on April 29, since the government "has not yet lifted lockdown restrictions or announced when that is likely to happen," local and chain pubs will remain closed for the time being. While the UK government hasn't formally published an exit strategy, on April 16 Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab listed five factors that need to happen before restrictions can be lifted . These included being confident in the NHS' ability to cope with demand, a "sustained and consistent fall in daily death rates" and the rate of infection, confidence in there being ...

Why 'Better Things' Season 5 Isn't In The Works Yet

Bild
Unlike many shows this spring, Better Things will actually finish its original 10 episode run. The Season 4 finale will air as scheduled on April 30, because the full season had finished filming ahead of coronavirus-related network production shutdowns. However, a Better Things Season 5 is still in question for several reasons. For one, according to TV Series Finale, the show's viewership has been steadily falling for several seasons. In Season 2, the show was averaging over 450,000 viewers per episode . Now, in Season 4, that number has dropped to an average of a little over 300,000 viewers per episode. It's also FX's second least-watched show , above only the freshman comedy Breeders . It's also unusual for Better Things to be reaching its season finale without a renewal in place yet. All the previous seasons were renewed at least a month before the preceding season finished airing. But while the network may decide to cancel the show based on declining viewers...

Britney Spears Burned Down Her Home Gym But "Yippy Hoorah Nobody Got Hurt"

The Princess of Pop has a very important PSA for everyone about lighting candles in your home gym — namely, don't do it. In a video posted to her Instagram account on April 29, Britney Spears revealed she accidentally burned down her home gym six months ago, before showing off her new at-home workout routine in the rebuilt room. The singer — who famously likes to post videos of her workouts and dance routines on social media — casually shared the news at the start of her latest video. "Hi guys, I'm in my gym right now. I haven't been in her for six months because I burnt my gym down, unfortunately," Spears said in the clip . "I had two candles and — yeah. One thing lead to another and I burned it down." As a result, Spears only has "two pieces of equipment left" in the newly-rebuilt gym, but she's not going to let that stop her from sharing her current quarantine fitness routine with her followers. In the caption of the post, Spears ga...
