If you’ve missed any part of our Annual Report, you can check out all the coverage here. It feels strange to say, but television has never felt more important than it did in 2020. With the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic all but trapping us in our homes, the medium has served as an essential, if not comprehensive, escape for viewers worldwide. This notion became clear with Tiger King, a show that nabbed record eyes (or so Netflix says) in the budding days of lockdown. The world became so scary, we looked to a bizarre tale of over-the-top zoo owners and assassination attempts for comfort. With...

Every October, television wears a costume. As the sun shifts and the leaves litter our neighborhood streets, living rooms across the world similarly take on a new glow.

Fargo Season 4 Is a Thrilling and Timely Indictment of the American Dream: Review
The Pitch: Like the first fall of snow in an open field, Fargo drifts back into this desolate year with its fourth season. Three years after Mary Elizabeth Winstead blew us away and Ewan McGregor won our hearts twice, FX’s black comedy/crime drama returns, this time focusing on two rival crime families and their struggle for control over 1950 Kansas City. In order to broker peace, Loy Cannon (Chris Rock), leader of the Cannon crime syndicate, and Donatello Fadda (Tommaso Ragno), head of the Italian mafia, trade their youngest sons to be raised by their enemies. A sudden turn of events leaves this new peace in jeopardy as both family heads struggle to navigate shifting loyalties and outside pressure. Meanwhile kooky nurse Oraetta Mayflower (Jessie Buckley) befriends her neighbor, high schoo...

Now in its 72nd year, the ceremony honors the best in U.S. prime time television programming from June 1st, 2019 until May 31st, 2020. Jimmy Kimmel is the night’s canary in a coal mine host, proving three time’s the charm as he presides over the live ABC broadcast. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kimmel admitted he’s bracing for a “beautiful disaster,” and acknowledged some limitations. “Not being able to pre-tape limits you as well,” he shared. “But I think what we found from watching the late night shows during this time is that you do find things that are better when you’re handcuffed.” The night will see a number of presenters hopping online, including forthcoming She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany,...

Our Mid-Year Report comes to a captivating conclusion today as we reveal the Top 10 TV Shows of 2020 (So Far).

FX Renews What We Do in the Shadows for Season 3
Midway through a fangtastic Season 2, the vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows has been renewed for Season 3. As THR notes, the show has grown its audience by 25% since the start of Season 1. Additionally, Shadows’ batty writing and high-profile guest appearances, including Mark Hamill as Jim the Vampire, has garnered some bloody-good reviews. Altogether the decision was pretty easy for FX. Nick Grad, the network’s president of original programming, said, “We’re incredibly happy that critics and audiences are all in on Shadows. Week in and week out, the producers, writers and our amazing cast continue to make one of the funniest and best comedy series on TV.” What We Do in the Shadows is expected to return the cast of Matt Berry, Natasia Demetri...
Lil Dicky’s FXX Series Dave Renewed for Second Season
Lil Dicky’s surreal comedy series Dave has been renewed for a second season. A fictionalized story based on Lil Dicky’s own life, the first season of Dave proved a hit for FX, as it surpassed Atlanta as the network’s most-watched comedy series with a per episode average of 5.32 million viewers. No doubt bolstering Dave’s viewership was the slew of guest starts who appeared throughout the first season, including Justin Bieber, Young Thug, Gunna, YG, Marshmello, Macklemore, MadeinTYO, O.T. Genasis, Ninja, and Charlamagne tha God. That’s not to discount Lil Dicky, a star in his own right, whose comedy-rap videos have amassed hundreds of millions of views on YouTube. The show’s season one cast also included “Pillow Talk” co-star Taylor Misiak, GaTa, Andrew Santino, Travis “Taco” Benn...
Macaulay Culkin to Have “Crazy, Erotic Sex” with Kathy Bates in American Horror Story
We knew Macaulay Culkin joining Season 10 of American Horror Story would lead to some weird plot twists, but we didn’t expect him having “crazy, erotic sex” with Kathy Bates to be one of them. According to show creator Ryan Murphy, that’s exactly what viewers should prepare for when they tune into the upcoming episodes. The next season of the horror anthology show has already been written and cast. Unfortunately, production is on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, but that didn’t stop Murphy from revealing some details in an interview with E! News. Murphy began by explaining why he cast Culkin in American Horror Story in the first place, citing a love of the actor’s work, both old and new. “So, I have this very, very great insane part. And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he sai...
Mark Hamill Joins the Dark Side in What We Do in the Shadows First Look
It looks like the Dark Side has finally sunk its teeth into Luke Skywalker, as Star Wars icon Mark Hamill has a guest spot on FX’s What We Do in the Shadows. News of the role first broke back in January, and now we have our first look at the actor in full vampire garb, which you can see below (via EW). Hamill portrays an ancient bloodsucker in an episode called “On the Run”. Turns out his character is owed a debt by Matt Berry’s Laszlo, and he’s risen to collect. For whatever reason, Laszlo isn’t able to repay his old vampire pal, so he goes into hiding. Hamill has been a vocal fan of both the original What We Do in the Shadows movie from Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi as well as the FX series adaptation. Speaking about getting the role, Hamill said, “The whole cast is on...
