Veronica (the always delightful Haley Lu Richardson) is a high school superstar, bound for Brown in the fall but still very busy living out the waning days of her super-fun senior year. Mega-popular and mega-smart, Veronica has a tight-knit pack of girlfriends (that the other members of the foursome seem to operate with one brain is more than just a joke) and a devoted boyfriend (Alex MacNicoll). Her Instagram account is popping, but is also filled with meaningless material (#SelfCare) that offers no real insight into her life....

Similar to “Fences,” the Netflix release “Ma Rainey’s” is adapted from an August Wilson play and features Denzel Washington as a producer. Davis leads the film as Gertrude “Ma” Rainey, the iconic singer who became known as the “Mother of the Blues” during the 1920s.

Created and produced by Wong, “Blossoms Shanghai” offers an homage to the “In the Mood for Love” director’s birthplace at the most intriguing moments in its recent history. The pilot is also directed by Wong. This is Wong’s first time behind the camera since 2013’s “The Grandmaster.” Written by award-winning Shanghainese screenwriter Qin Wen, with visuals from Academy Award-winning “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” cinematographer Peter Pau, the series, according to the official synopsis, “tells the story of an enigmatic, self-made millionaire, Mr....

Clark wanted to take all the things she loved and update it for the series, specifically where it concerns gender. “Our show is gender diverse,” she said Friday, during the show’s panel session at the TCA Summer Press Tour. “We’ve made the representation of this world, in some ways, very different [from the comic book.]” The lone male survivor, Yorick (Ben Schnetzer), once set apart in the graphic novel because of his gender, is now separated by his biology....

The news was announced on a Cartoon Network panel that featured executive producer Pete Michail, as well as voice cast members Greg Cipes and Tara Strong. The popular children’s show is gearing up to release its eighth season, and Snyder is on board to help the teenage superheroes celebrate a significant milestone. Snyder will be appearing in the 365th episode of the series, which is understandably titled “365!” The characters on the show try to celebrate the landmark episode by visiting the Warner Bros....
