CBS’ The Good Wife is set to end later this year, but star Chris Noth has already found a new home in the FX drama Tyrant. The actor is currently filming the CBS hit’s final season, which started back in 2009 to high ratings and subsequent critical acclaim.

Noth will play the role of William Cogswell, an American general recently transferred out of Abbudin who then returns when Bassam Al-Fayeed (played by Adam Rayner) takes on the role of provisional presidency. Despite offering American support, General Cogswell will gradually rise to power while a long-established romantic link with Leila (portrayed by Moran Atias) rekindles.

This marks a drastic departure from his role on the CBS drama, where he has starred as Peter Florrick for seven seasons, eventually earning him a Golden Globe nomination. Other notable credits include Law & Order, Sex and the City, and Hill Street Blues in the 1980s.

Noth is simultaneously working on other prominent projects, including two independent films; White Girl, which Netflix purchased at Sundance, and Chronically Metropolitan.

Tyrant is produced and managed by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions. Howard Gordon, best known for his work on Homeland, executive produces the show along with Chris Keyser, Avi Nir, and Gideon Raff.

The series’ upcoming third season, set to feature 10 episodes, does not yet have an exact air date. Despite not being FX’ highest-rated show, the network is confident about series thanks to its supportive, loyal fans and the effort executive producers have shown.

Meanwhile, The Good Wife series finale airs on Sunday, May 8.

Seinfeld and Rules of Engagement alum Patrick Warburton is set to star in the upcoming Netflix drama A Series of Unfortunate Events, playing the central role of narrator Lemony Snicket.

The new show focuses on orphanage children Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, who struggle to free themselves from the clutches of Count Olaf as he pursues their family fortune. This role was previously played by actor Jude Law in the 2004 film, which garnered fairly positive reviews and made over $200 million at the box office.

Lemony Snicket is a troubled writer-photographer framed for various felonies, leading to an ongoing hunt by both police and his enemies alike. The latter includes a secret organization known as Volunteer Fire Department, known for starting fires and routinely causing trouble.

Mark Hudis will helm the new series as showrunner while Daniel Handler, the books’ author, is set to serve as executive producer.

Warburton is currently in the middle of other projects, including the March debut of NBC’s Crowded, where the actor plays a prominent role. He was said to also be reprising his role as comic book character The Tick for Amazon’s upcoming reboot, though it is unclear who will star on the show at this time.

Other notable roles include NewsRadio, Dave’s World, Kim Possible (voice) and other shows over the years.

A Series of Unfortunate Events co-stars Malina Weissman, Louis Hynes, and Neil Patrick Harris. The show is slated for a 2016 premiere, though no exact date has been announced.

Lindsay Lohan has not always come out a winner when it comes to lawsuits, but her luck has recently taken a turn over a recent dispute against Take-Two and Rockstar Games over the video game Grand theft Auto V.

The 29-year-old actress alleges that the publisher used and subsequently tarnished her image through a mock character in the video game. Grand Theft Auto showcases a lady named “Lacey Jonas,” an affluent resident who routinely eludes paparazzi and reportedly looks like the real-life actress.

The complaint further states that the video game references Lohan while in the movie Mean Girls, as well as the West Hollywood hotel where the actress once resided. As a result, the suit claims this is a violation of her rights under New York Civil Rights Law.

Take-Two, Rockstar’s parent company, argued that the New York’s privacy law against likeness misappropriation does not apply through works of art.

Furthermore, they claim that the lawsuit has no merit by emphasizing Lohan’s previous cases, including a lost battle against singer Pitbull over a rap lyric. The video game giant finally argues that Lohan “lacks any good-faith basis and can only have been filed for publicity purposes.”

After all was said and done, New York Supreme Court judge Joan Kennedy stated that she must side with the actress and cannot dismiss the case based on the defendants’ documents showing that the character does not look like or reflects on the actress. She also ruled that Lohan’s statements were sufficiently valid, thus allowing for the lawsuit to move forward.

Prior to the ruling, Take-Two had also argued that the actress was too late in bringing up the lawsuit, which the judge also rejected.

“Defendants have not been able to prove, at this juncture of the litigation, that the republication exception to the one year statute of limitations is not applicable to this case because the intended audiences were the same as those of the original publication and the images consistently remained the same,” judge Kennedy wrote.

Hit TV show Switched at Birth had a steady run on ABC Family (now known as Freeform). After almost five years on the air, creator Lizzy Weiss recently announced that the series’ fifth season would be its last.

“This season of #SwitchedatBirth will be our final one. We are ending the show after an amazing 103 episodes with pride, love, and gratitude,” Weiss wrote via Twitter.

The scripted drama focuses on two teens who were switched at the time of birth, then proceeded to grow up in prominently different environments. It also explores the struggles of individuals with hearing-impairment disabilities, a subject that has earned the show critical acclaim throughout its run.

President Tom Ascheim has been gradually restructuring the network over the years, also believing that the show no longer fits in with its audience consisting of “Becomers.” This includes niche groups that explore first love and other “first” life-altering experiences. As part of the channel’s new brand, it is now focusing on a slightly older demographic – mainly those who have recently graduated from college – and less about family.

The show’s cancellation comes only one week after the network canceled new comedy Kevin from Work. Some prominent series still airing include Baby Daddy, Pretty Little Liars, Nicki, and Dead of Summer, though it is unclear whether additional cancellations are taking place.

Originally premiering in June 2011, Switched at Birth was the network’s highest-rated series debut at the time, starring Vanessa Marano and Katie Leclerc. The final season is set to debut this summer with a ten-episode run which includes a 90-minute series finale.

Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are reportedly penning a sequel to this year’s anti-hero hit. While a follow-up film may touch upon the character’s connection to the X-Men universe, Reese and Wernick advice fans not to expect a crossover with Wolverine and the rest of his mutant friends anytime soon.

“The X-Men series is currently set in the 1980s [while] Deadpool is set three decades later in our present day,” Reese said in a recent interview regarding the possibility of the anti-hero teaming up with the rest of Marvel’s beloved characters.

However, he also admitted that the timeline “will eventually catch up,” despite the long-lasting chronological separation.

“If you look at the Iron Man model, they had two Iron Man [movies] before they had an Avengers and, if left up to us, I think that would be a very prudent path,” Reese told The Playlist.

Wernick backed his partner’s comments and his overall feelings toward the film and franchise. “Deadpool’s now become a brand and franchise unto himself, independent of the X-Men and that’s great,” he claimed. “That gives the studio two franchises in one, but I think it is its own franchise, and you’ll see synergy between those two properties, but they’re two very distinct brands.”

“I think everything that Deadpool is involved in we will have a hand in,” Wernick commented.

“It’s a universe that Ryan and us are very close to and very protective of, so I do think we would absolutely be involved in that franchise as well. If it’s Deadpool-related, I think you’ll see some of our fingerprints on that,” the prominent writer assured movie fans.

Deadpool had an estimated budget of $58 million and has grossed over $500 million to date.

Jennifer Garner has opted to not hold back about her marriage and subsequent separation from actor Ben Affleck, revealing a rich amount of details in the March issue of Vanity Fair.

The couple had announced their separation in June 2015 shortly after their 10-year anniversary. Now the 43-year-old actress was upfront about the good and bad times she experienced over the years. This included talks about a circulating rumor that Affleck was sleeping with the family’s 28-year-old nanny, Christine Ouzounian.

“We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny. She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation. Bad judgment? Yes,” Garner told Vanity Fair, having to also talk to her children about the sensitive situation. “I have had to have conversations about the meaning of ‘scandal.’”

Garner has gradually stayed out of the spotlight since the public separation to reflect on where she currently stands. “I just won’t do it anymore. I took a silent oath with myself last summer to really stay offline. I am totally clueless about all of it.”

She continued, “It hurts me so much, and I care so much… I cannot be driven by the optics of this. I cannot let anger or hurt be my engine. I need to move with the big picture always on my mind, and the kids first and foremost.”

Despite having to manage through the aftermath, Garner does not regret having married the 43-year-old actor back in 2005. “I didn’t marry the big fat movie star; I married him. …And I would go back and remake that decision. I ran down the beach to him, and I would again. You can’t have these three babies and so much of what we had. He’s the love of my life. What am I going to do about that?”

As of now, Garner looks forward to moving on and getting past “the pity stage,” as she explained, while acknowledging that it is not Affleck’s job to make her happy.

After a rough year following the death of her father, Vanessa Hudgens is set to take on her next gig. The 27-year-old actress/singer has been given a starring role in the DC Comics comedy series Powerless, with no air date yet scheduled.

The new show takes place at a busy, sometimes dysfunctional insurance company and follows the life of a rather normal person living in a world composed of superheroes, anti-heroes and villains.

Hudgens will take on the role of Emily Locke, a claims adjuster who enjoys the job as it allows her to help people in her own way. However, her daily work routine gets increasingly more difficult due to the disruptive life caused by the many superpowered citizens that live in and roam the city.

Powerless is being penned by Ben Queen, best known for his work on A to Z and Cars 2. He will also serve as executive producer alongside Michael Patrick Jann, who is responsible for directing the pilot. Christina Kirk has been cast to co-star, with more actors yet to be announced.

The High School Musical alum recently portrayed Rizzo on Grease: Live, earning her critical acclaim for the performance. It is worth noting that this happened merely one day after her father had passed away from cancer. This would be Hudgen’s first small-screen role as a regular, should the network place a full season order.

Powerless would become DC Comics’ first half-hour series on television. The comic book giant continues to expand its assets through multiple networks, with various established shows on the likes of CBS, FOX, and the CW.

Ben Schnetzer, known for films such as The Book Thief and Pride, is set to star in the Arctic drama The Grizzlies, a new feature written by Breaking Bad writer Moira Walley-Becket.

The Grizzlies is being executive produced by Oscar-nominated Frank Marshall along with Jake Steinfeld, who founded Major League Lacrosse. This will also be the directional debut for producer Miranda de Pencier of Northwood Entertainment.

Schnetzer plays Russ Sheppard, a real-life high school teacher who arrives to a dysfunctional Arctic community aiming to start a lacrosse league. The league soon becomes prominent in the community and changes the lives of the kids involved.

“I’m thrilled to have the talented Ben Schnetzer on board,” de Pencier recently stated. Other talents overseeing the project include Zanne Devine (Pacific Northwest Pictures) and Damon D’Oliveira (Filmshow Inc).

“Miranda is the perfect choice to tell this hopeful and life-affirming story. We have put together a very talented team to support her vision in telling this amazing story about how one man with a simple idea and a sport can save and change lives forever,” Frank Marshall said.

In addition to The Grizzlies, Schnetzer will also appear in Oliver Stone’s Snowden, the game-based movie Warcraft, as well as Andrew Neel’s Goat.

At 26 years old, Ben Schnetzer has become a prominent Hollywood figure with appearances in Law & Order, Happy Town, and other big projects. He was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor in Pride (2014) and Most Promising Newcomer.

Mongrel Media is responsible for releasing The Grizzlies in Canada, and shooting is scheduled to start in the Arctic in April 2016.

Amazon Studios has acquired the North American rights to a new feature film by legendary producer Woody Allen. The studio will oversee its theatrical release and eventual online streaming, making it a big accomplishment as Sony Pictures Classics had typically managed the release of several previous films. Some of these include Blue Jasmine and Midnight in Paris.

The untitled movie was shot in 2015 throughout New York and Los Angeles. Considered a romantic comedy set in the 1930s, the project gathered many prominent actors such as Steve Carell, Blake Lively, Kristen Stewart, Corey Stoll, among others.

Amazon Studios is set to open the film during the summer with a nationwide theatrical release, followed by an online streaming version available to Prime members. A source has stated that the movie’s online availability will not deviate from the typical three-month theatrical showing window. In this case, Prime members will gain access to the movie faster than other streaming partners.

“Like all beginning relationships, there is much hope, mutual affection and genuine goodwill — the lawsuits come later,” Woody Allen stated. Amazon Studio’s Roy Price followed, “Woody Allen is a brilliant filmmaker. We’re so proud to be in business with him for both his next film and his first-ever TV series.”

Amazon is evidently gearing up to become a leading source within the film industry, having acquired seven Sundance titles among other projects in recent history. The most expensive purchase to date is Kenneth Lonergan’s Manchester by the Sea, having cost the studio $10 million. The indie film was one of the best-reviewed projects at Sundance and had several other buyers interested.

In addition to the upcoming film, Amazon is also working with the famed director to write and manage a six-episode series starring himself, Miley Cyrus, and Elaine May.
