The Man Who Fell to Earth is a sci-fi drama series created by Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman.

While working to win over ad buyers during the 2024 upfronts, broadcasters and streamers alike are releasing first looks at their upcoming content.

Upfronts 2024: Complete Coverage

“House of the Dragon” Season 2 producers Tina Pehme and Kim Roberts

Set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones” and based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” “House of the Dragon” tells the story of House Targaryen.

“Doctor Odyssey”

From Ryan Murphy, “Doctor Odyssey” stars Joshua Jackson as Max, the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship, and his medical team as they navigate unique medical crises and each other miles from shore. Don Johnson and Phillipa Soo also star.

“High Potential”

Based on the popular French series “Haut Potentiel Intellectuel,” “High Potential” is a crime procedural from Drew Goddard that follows Morgan (Kaitlin Olson), a single mom whose unconventional knack for solving crimes leads to an unusual partnership with a by-the-book seasoned detective.

Michael Strahan, employee of The Walt Disney Company, logged more minutes than anyone during the Fox upfront on Monday afternoon. But the Fox NFL Sunday analyst wasn’t exactly the headliner. That honor went to his incoming colleague, Tom Brady.

Brady’s official addition to the Fox Sports family was teased throughout the hour-and-a-half pitch for advertisers — “investors,” as Strahan called them — before he finally took the stage for a funny bit that pitted his social media mantra “Lfg” against Fox star Gordon Ramsay’s unrivaled love for the f-word. Gordon implored the network and the advertising community to let Brady be himself and say “fuck” on air when he starts calling football games in the fall. And if anybody can afford to pay FCC fines, it’s Brady.

The host platform of the coming Super Bowl is always particularly giddy to remind the media-buying community of that fact during upfronts.

Fox released its fall schedule earlier today, and now we’ve got our first look at the new series.

We've got your first look at the upcoming dramas, including Rescue: Hi Surf, Murder in a Small Town, and Doc.

Take a look now!

Rescue: Hi-Surf Tina Pehme Kim Roberts

John Wells and Matt Kester helm the pulse-pounding Hawaii lifeguard drama Rescue: Hi-Surf.

It follows the personal and professional lives of the heavy-water lifeguards who patrol and protect the North Shore of O’ahu—the most famous and dangerous stretch of coastline in the world.

Each episode will feature these dedicated, heroic, and adrenaline-seeking first responders saving lives in the difficult and often life-threatening conditions of Hawaii’s Seven Mile Miracle.

The trailer gives traditional first responder vibes, and it also hints as to why Fox was willing to give up 9-1-1. They have high hopes for this one.

Murder in a Small Town...

Fox has released trailers for several of its new series for the 2024-25 broadcast season — dramas Rescue: Hi-Surf, Murder In A Small Town and Doc, and animated comedy series Universal Basic Guys. You can read about each and watch below.

Lego Masters host Will Arnett kicked off the 2024 Fox Upfront by introducing most of the celebrity players for the new season, including Jon Hamm, Olivia Culpo, Tom Brady and of course Rob Lowe, who he introduced as coming straight from St. Elmo’s Fire.

What else happened at the presentation in the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City? Read on.

Michael Strahan and Gordon Ramsay kicked off the show in the theater-in-the-sound setting, and it took all of 20 seconds before Ramsay dropped his first f-bomb. The duo riffed about their pairing as hosts and Ramsay cussed some more before they brought out Jeff Collins, President of Advertising Sales, Marketing and Brand Partnerships. “The Fox portfolio is designed to drive maximum impact for your brand,” he said in a statement that absolutely no one has ever heard before at a NY upfront.

Fox is one of the only broadcast networks not to have its own sister subscription streaming service and CEO Rob Wade believes this is an advantage.

Speaking ahead of its Upfront presentation later today, Wade said, “Our industry has seen a massive market shift. And for us, that translates into massive opportunity.”

“We sit in a unique position, unburdened by the challenges of an SVOD P&l, allowing us to write our own playbook,” he added.

While the company does operate free-streaming service Tubi, Wade was alluding to the challenges that companies such as ABC owner Disney has with Disney+ and Hulu, NBCUniversal has with Peacock and CBS owner Paramount has with Paramount+, now being forced to chase streaming profits after huge spending.

He added that the last several years have been “disruptive”.

In Season 1, Chiklis starred in the first episode as neurosurgeon Scott Harmon, who was on trial for providing material assistance to a school shooter. It’s not yet known who Chiklis will be playing in Season 2. Based on Jimmy McGovern’s 2010 British series of the same name, Accused premiered on Fox on January 22, 2023.

The events that led to the trial are shown throughout the episode from the defendant’s perspective. In addition to Chiklis, Season 1 starred the likes of Jack Davenport, Stephanie Nogueras, Megan Boone, Malcolm-Jamal Warner,...

Fox is moving “Family Guy” to midseason, marking the first time the animated staple hasn’t been on the network’s fall schedule since 2005 (when it returned to the air after being canceled for a few years). That’s one of the major shifts to come this fall as Fox announced a 2024-2025 lineup that includes two new dramas and a new animated series in the fall, with more freshman launches to come in midseason.

New dramas include lifeguard actioner “Rescue: Hi-Surf,” from executive producer John Wells, which will air Mondays at 9 p.m. Et behind “9-1-1: Lone Star” and crime procedural “Murder in a Small Town,” which will run Tuesdays at 9 p.m., paired with Season 2 of anthology series “Accused.” Later in the season will premiere medical drama “Doc,” based on the Italian series “Doc — Nelle tue mani” and starring Molly Parker.

As part of its fall lineup announcement Monday, Fox revealed some of the players who will appear on the second season of Accused.

Michael Chiklis — who was featured in Accused‘s first episode when it premiered in January of 2023 — will return for the second season of the drama developed by Howard Gordon. The show’s set to air at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays this fall on Fox.

Joining the former Vic Mackey on the new season is Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy and Nick Cannon. It’s not clear, for now, what roles the actors will play in the anthology, which features different stories of crime and punishment told from the defendant’s point of view.

In his episode from season 1, Chiklis played a frightened dad who had to confront the realities of his troubled son’s behavior. The star of The Shield went on to direct “Jack’s Story,...

Exclusive: It came down to the wire but the last outstanding scripted series on the Big 4 broadcast networks has learned its fate. Fox has handed a Season 4 renewal to The Cleaning Lady, starring Élodie Yung. According to sources, the order is for 12 episodes.

While expected, the renewal was not straight-forward and comes with a showrunner change, Deadline has learned. The crime drama, a co-production between Warner Bros. Television and Fox Entertainment, had to pivot and adjust its storyline on the fly this season as it dealt with the tragic loss of its male lead, Adan Canto, who died of cancer.

Linear ratings for The Cleaning Lady — as well as Fox’s other drama series that aired new episodes this season, Alert: Missing Persons Unit — have been down double digits, with a lift of +131% from Live + Same Day to 3.6 million multi-platform viewers helping The Cleaning Lady to close the gap.

In the above trailer for Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, several Nickelodeon alumni — including All That cast members Giovonnie Samuels, Kyle Sullivan and Bryan Hearne — speak out about the “toxic environment” that Schneider allegedly fostered while overseeing series like Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious and Sam & Cat.

The Mothership, a Halle Berry sci-fi film, was scrapped due to “lots of production issues” according to Netflix boss Bela Bajaria.

Update: Just a little more detail on the scrapping of the Netflix sci-fi flick, The Mothership. Yesterday, The Wrap published a report with some quotes from Netflix content boss Bela Bajaria about the matter, but that report was suddenly taken down.

Since then, The Hollywood Reporter has put up its own report, which offers a bit more context. Bajaria made the comments at the streaming giant’s press event, Next on Netflix, in which it also unveiled its slate of upcoming films and shows. Squid Game season two, Beverly Hills Cop, that sort of thing.

In a brief snippet dedicated to The Mothership, THR quotes Bajaria as saying the film was scrapped due to “lots of production issues and story issues.”

“Everybody on both sides, the talent and us,...

Netflix just unveiled the line-up of films they’ll be releasing in 2024, and missing from that list is the Halle Berry sci-fi movie The Mothership – which, as we reported last week, Netflix has decided not to release at all. At the time, their decision to scrap the movie was reminiscent of Warner Bros. scrapping the films Coyote vs. Acme, Batgirl, and Scoob! Holiday Haunt (as well as a couple other Scooby-Doo projects). But, while at a media event yesterday, Bela Bajaria, who is currently serving as chief of Netflix’s film division, said the producers of The Mothership agreed with Netflix that the movie shouldn’t be released. This is different from what goes on at Warner Bros., where filmmakers are shocked and upset to hear their work is being tossed in the trash.

Back in 2021, a Netflix production called The Mothership was filmed with Halle Berry in the lead role and Bridge of Spies writer Matthew Charman at the helm, making his feature directorial debut. Unfortunately, there have been “multiple delays in post-production” for unspecified reasons… and now Variety has confirmed that Netflix has made the decision to scrap the film instead of completing post-production.

Most people thought it was a questionable move when Warner Bros. decided to scrap the films Coyote vs. Acme, Batgirl, and Scoob! Holiday Haunt for the purpose of tax write-offs, but apparently Netflix thought it was a good idea, since they’ve decided to do the same thing with this project.

If we had the chance to watch The Mothership, we would have found that the story of the sci-fi movie took place one year after the husband of Berry’s character mysteriously vanishes from their rural farm.

Halle Berry‘s movie The Mothership is sadly not going to see the light of day!

It was just revealed that the sci-fi adventure movie has been scrapped by Netflix, over a year after it finished filming.

Halle was set to star as Sara Morse in the film, and she was serving as an executive producer.

Filming on the movie started in July 2021 and wrapped later that year. Now, Variety reports that post-production delays have contributed to the cancelation of the movie.

The movie was to “take place one year after the husband of Berry’s character mysteriously vanishes from their rural farm. Now a single mother, Sara Morse and her children discover an extraterrestrial object underneath their home. It (hopefully) leads them to discover the truth about the patriarch’s disappearance.”

Molly Parker and Omari Hardwick also starred. Halle was even seen on...

In a surprising development, Netflix will no longer be releasing Halle Berry’s sci-fi movie The Mothership, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Berry and the Mothership team already completed much of the filming on the project, but it was in need of extensive reshoots to get it over the finish line. Netflix opted not to move forward with those reshoots and shelved the film instead. The InSneider newsletter first reported the news.

The sci-fi film starred Berry as a woman who discovers an extraterrestrial object under her home one year after the disappearance of her husband. Matthew Charman (Bridge of Spies) wrote and directed The Mothership as his feature directorial debut. The ensemble cast included Molly Parker, John Ortiz and Omari Hardwick.

That move recalls Warner Bros. Discovery’s 2022 decision to ax Batgirl, the DC film that already completed shooting and was expected to arrive on HBO Max. The company...

Netflix has scrapped the release of “The Mothership,” a science-fiction film starring Halle Berry.

The movie finished filming in 2021, but it couldn’t be completed after multiple delays in post-production, Variety has confirmed.

“The Mothership” is the latest Hollywood movie to disappear even though filming had wrapped. Since 2022, Warner Bros. has axed three movies — John Cena’s “Coyote vs. Acme,” the $90 million budgeted DC adventure “Batgirl” and the animated “Scoob! Holiday Haunt” — for the purpose of tax write-offs.

“Bridge of Spies” writer Matthew Charman directed “The Mothership,” which takes place one year after the husband of Berry’s character mysteriously vanishes from their rural farm. Now a single mother, Sara Morse and her children discover an extraterrestrial object underneath their home. It (hopefully) leads them to discover the truth about the patriarch’s disappearance. Molly Parker and Omari Hardwick round out the cast.

Berry will continue to work with Netflix...

Netflix is being accused of “Batgirling” Halle Berry’s sci-fi The Mothership after reports that the streamer has scrapped the film.

Halle Berry was due to star in The Mothership, a sci-fi thriller backed by Netflix. The film, directed by Matt Charman, was due to be released in 2023 but didn’t see the light of day – and now it looks as though it never will.

According to Jeff Sneider’s newsletter, Netflix has scrapped the release altogether in favour of a tax write-off.

Does that sound familiar? Warner Bros. Discovery recently came under fire for shelving the already completed Batgirl, while Coyote Vs. Acme is currently trying to find a studio to release the film.

Sneider cited trouble with a lengthy post-production schedule and “significant reshoots” as part of the reason Netflix have decided to abandon ship.

Molly Parker, Omari Hardwick, Sydney Lemmon, John Ortiz, and Paul Guilfoyle were also due to star alongside Berry.
