It took an unprecedented six-month production shutdown at the start of the coronavirus pandemic to finally slow down the expansion of the scripted TV universe in 2020. While the pandemic is still far from over, the volume of adult scripted original series rebounded in a major way in 2021 after taking a dip for the first time the year before. FX Content Research released their annual tally, which lists 559 original scripted series in 2021, a new all-time record. That was up +13% from 2020 and 5% above pre-pandemic 2019. There is a caveat — because so many series were delayed by the 2020 shutdown, there are shows that shifted to 2021, which may have inflated the total to surpass pre-pandemic levels. The clearing of the backlog, which started in the second half of 2021, is expected to carry over to 2022, likely pushing it to another record before we get a better picture whether Peak TV is finally peaking in 2023. … [Read more...] about Peak TV: Scripted Originals Rebounded In 2021 To Hit New Record Despite Pandemic, FX Tally Reveals

Another year, another lineup of movies we desperately hope will be coming to a theater near us some time in the foreseeable future. 2022 may have already started to do the push-and-punt game with release dates (check you out in the spring, Morbius ! See you in 2023, John Wick 4 !) in anticipation of what may be a shakier-than-expected return to a “normal” filmgoing year. That said, there’s a lot to look forward to seeing over the next 12 months, from new superhero movies to big-name, star-studded ensemble dramas to more superhero movies to historical epics, throwback comedies and yes, even more superhero movies. Not all heroes wear capes, though in terms of blockbuster culture circa right now, almost all of them rock a lot of spandex. We’ve singled out 50 movies set to screen, stream, or some combination of the two from now until December, including (but not limited to) some perpetually postponed studio films from the last few years, a few fan-favorite franchise reboots, a lot … [Read more...] about From Batman to ‘Black Panther 2’: The 50 Most Anticipated Movies of 2022
