Ezra Claytan Daniels has been hired to pen a remake of Wes Craven’s “The People Under the Stairs” for Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw and Universal, The Wrap has learned.
The scribe behind genre-centric streaming shows like “Doom Patrol” and “Night Sky” and comics like “Upgrade Soul” will pen a remake of the 1991 original horror flick, which has accumulated a cult following since then both due to its quality and its ahead-of-its-time social topicality.
Written and directed by Craven, the original “The People Under the Stairs” concerned a young Black child (Brandon Adams) who breaks into the home of his family’s greedy landlords. Spoilers for the unaware, but he discovers incestuous adult siblings keeping young boys captive under the stairs of their large house.
As Dominic Griffin wrote last year in the Baltimore Beat, “‘The People Under the Stairs’ threads a very delicate needle through withering social commentary about...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched the premiere episode of “The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles,” streaming now on Paramount Plus.
During the summer of 1993, reality television cameras captured the moment when David Edwards, a cast member on MTV’s “The Real World: Los Angeles,” pulled the covers off of Tami Roman (then Tami Akbar), who was lying nearly naked in bed. What seemed to start out as innocent teasing between roommates turned darker as he kept yanking on the blankets, which she was desperately trying to keep wrapped around her body, resulting in her also being pulled out of bed and into the hallway in a vulnerable position. Roommate Beth Stolarczyk, who threw her own body on top of Roman to shield her from the cameras and the eyes of the others in the house, compared his problematic disregard for consent to a rapist’s behavior.

“The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles” is set for a Nov. 24 premiere on Paramount Plus, with seven of the original cast members from “The Real World: Los Angeles” reuniting in the same Venice Beach house they shared during their 1993 season.
The docuseries will feature Beth Anthony, Beth Stolarczyk, David Edwards, Glen Naessens, Irene Berrera-Kearns, Jon Brennan and Tami Roman, who reconnect almost two decades after last appearing on-screen together. Like the previous “Real World Homecoming” season (“New York”), they will reflect on how the series transformed their lives and potentially squash old conflicts.
The Los Angeles season of “The Real World” premiered on MTV in summer 1993, originally under the name “The Real World: California,” and was a thematic departure from the show’s “New York” season, which launched the franchise in 1992. It also featured the series’ first — but not its last — ouster of a castmate, when Edwards, a stand-up comedian,...

It’s been 27 years since MTV’s hit reality show Real World hit the screens. Real World is sort of the mother of all reality television today. The show tackled the HIV/AIDS situation and the same-sex marriage issue at a time when these conversations were still a murky subject. It addressed personal issues as well such as tumultuous relationships and abortions. Needless to say, the show produced some of the best actors and actresses today. One of the people who were on the iconic show (season 2) is Dominic Griffin. For a first TV trial, it is not easy being a

It’s been a long, long time since we actively watched a new season of the Real World. In fact, looking back over a list of Real World seasons, the Real World: San Diego cast was the last one that we could name multiple cast members from without any sort of assistance. That said, our knowledge and love of the show’s first 14 or so seasons is beyond compare, which is why we were so delighted to learn that Rw: Boston‘s Sean Duffy was elected to the House of Representatives on Tuesday. Now, we’ll readily admit that we weren’t exactly Poli-Sci majors in undergrad or anything, but we’re pretty sure that this means Sean Duffy will be elected President of the United States some day (which, in an awesome twist, means that our First Lady will be a former fling of Puck’s). Once elected, one...

Tuesday night (July 13), as you're probably aware, MTV's "The Hills" wrapped up its triumphant six-season run. And while it's probably too early to start talking about legacies, that's exactly what we've been doing in the MTV Newsroom, debating where the show fits in the canon of reality television. Some said it's the most influential show of its ilk, others disagreed, citing "The Real World," which, while a very different show from "The Hills," is also a prime contender for the crown. The back-and-forth was so heavy, in fact, that we decided to have two of our most vocal writers — MTV Newsroom editor Kyle Anderson and Rock Editor James Montgomery — continue the discussion here on the Web site. Here's their point/counterpoint about the legacy of "The Hills."
