As the cast gathered to present the same award to the actors of Succession, they decided to throw caution to the wind and rebel against the scripted rules in an act of pure defiance.

This is Day 120 of the WGA strike and Day 47 of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Amid the heat in Los Angeles, the cast and crew members of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul hit the picket lines Tuesday at Sony Pictures Studios. Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Betsy Brandt, Rhea Seehorn, Jesse Plemons and Matt Jones were among the stars seen strolling past the familiar rainbow in Culver City.
“Honestly, it just feels like it’s just beginning,” Paul told Deadline as the SAG-AFTRA strike approaches Day 50 on Friday. “It’s important for everyone out there to know we’re not going anywhere. … We’re fighting the good fight.

No matter what happens at the 2023 Emmys ceremony in September, “Better Call Saul” will go down in television history as a 53-time nominee. That’s not too shabby. But, let’s just be real, it’s high time for the show to become an Emmy winner. To date, AMC’s spin-off of “Breaking Bad” has lost 46 times with the television academy, including six for Best Drama Series. It just nabbed seven additional nominations this year for the second half of its farewell season, so pundits everywhere are wondering: Will “Better Call Saul” finally win an Emmy?
Its seven last chance nominations are in Best Drama Series, Best Drama Actor for Bob Odenkirk, Best Drama Supporting Actress for Rhea Seehorn, Best Drama Writing for both Gordon Smith (“Point and Shoot”) and Peter Gould (“Saul Gone”), Best Picture Editing and Best Sound Mixing. In addition, “Better Call Saul Filmmaker Training” picked up...

Once Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn both lost on their 2022 Emmy nominations for “Better Call Saul,” their show joined “Murder, She Wrote” in first place on the list of drama series with the most unsuccessful TV academy acting notices and no wins, at 13. With six regulars and seven guests on this year’s first-round ballot, the recently concluded AMC program could potentially double its current acting Emmy nominations total and comfortably surpass that of its parent series, “Breaking Bad” (17). However, if it at least reaches 19 and none of its 2023 contenders triumph, it will set a new record as the show with the most failed acting bids and no wins, regardless of genre.
“Better Call Saul” ran for a total of six seasons, the last of which was split into two parts. After primarily beginning as a prequel series to “Breaking Bad” about formerly supporting character Jimmy McGill (aka Saul Goodman...

“It was fascinating for me to be in that world, that I didn’t expect to,” admits Betsy Brandt about her shocking appearance in the “Better Call Saul” finale. For our recent webchat she continues, “To get to see my character later was such a gift to me. It was one of the few times I’ve felt satiated. I’ve sat with that and think about Marie a lot. It was incredible for me to get to do that.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
From 2008 to 2013, Brandt played Marie Schrader on each season of “Breaking Bad.” Marie was the sister-in-law of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), whose husband Hank (Dean Norris) was killed as a direct result of her in-law’s drug empire. On returning to the character she reflects, “I never could have imagined getting that kind of closure for that character. I think Marie is stronger than she thinks she is.

This year’s first-round Primetime Emmy nominations ballot includes a total of 51 Best Limited Series hopefuls. This is down from 2022’s unusually high total of 61, yet still much higher than 2021’s 37, 2020’s 41, and 2019’s 35.
All 20,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until June 26 to cast their 2023 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for programs.

Eight long years after the legendary “Breaking Bad” saga came to a heavenly close, Betsy Brandt graced us with an unexpected appearance as her character Marie Schrader on the series finale of “Better Call Saul.” This AMC prequel is reaching a similar status of its own.
Brandt’s critically lauded, grief-stricken widow absent of her famously favored color purple, made every single second of her screen time count in “Saul Gone.” She delivered a show-stopping, teary-eyed monologue that ranked amongst the highlights of “Saul’s” swan song episode. The ocean of subtext made the moment eternally affecting and fitting. More than fans could have ever hoped for.
Despite “Breaking Bad” garnering a whopping 58 Emmy nominations (16 of them resulted in wins), Brandt somehow never received recognition for her work as Marie. And considering how multiple male actors were able to make the supporting lineup over the years, it seems unjust for...

We’re hooked on this psychological drama/mystery about the decades-old cold case of free-spirited first-year college student Alison Thomas (West Duchovny) who vanished while vacationing with her family on an idyllic Caribbean Island, Saint X. Twenty years later, her younger sister Emily (Alycia Debnam-Carey), a documentary editor, is determined to find out what happened, which worries her parents, Mia (Betsy Brandt) and Bill (Michael Park). The thriller unfolds in a mix of flashbacks to Alison’s final days, and Emily’s present-day hunt for answers. “It’s every parent’s worst nightmare,” Brandt says. “On the island, there’s a little bit of a whodunit. You see a cast of characters and everybody’s a suspect. The 20-year jump was something that so interested me. To see this couple, and this woman, pick up the pieces and keep living her life… you have to make a choice every day...

In one word, “Jessie’s Story” on Accused is “complicated.” In the May 2 episode, a teenager (Bebe Wood) tries to uncover the identity of her biological father only to hit roadblocks. She then goes to extreme measures to find the truth. Betsy Brandt, who plays Jessie’s mother Kara, teases what happens as a result. This episode was so good and you were great in it. Betsy Brandt: Oh, thank you. I love the show. When I read this script, I was like, oh my God, I want to play this part. I know Bebe, because we worked together on Love, Victor, and I think she’s so great and so I knew she would kill it. I was a big fan of Josh Hamilton. Michael Offer was directing and he’s on my list of people that I’ve wanted to work with. ...

“House of the Dragon” looks set to continue the trend that its predecessor, “Game of Thrones,” set with a slew of its stellar cast contending for Emmys. Currently, we are predicting three of the ongoing cast of this HBO hit — Emma D’Arcy, Paddy Considine, and Matt Smith — to reap Emmy bids for their performances. They will contend in lead drama actress, lead drama actor and supporting drama actor respectively.
But we just launched our prediction center for guest stars and we are predicting that three of the performers who appeared in only a handful of episodes will make an impression on TV academy voters. Tom Glynn-Carney and Ty Tennant are among those vying for Best Drama Guest Actor bids while Bethany Antonia is among the hopefuls for Best Drama Guest Actress.

Alycia Debnam-Carey leaves zombies behind for her follow-up to Fear the Walking Dead.
On Saint X, Debnam-Carey takes on the role of Emily Thomas, an environmental documentary editor trying to unmask the truth about her sister Alison's (West Duchovny) death several years before.
The series is based on the novel of the same name by Alexis Schaitkin.
Debnam-Carey revealed exclusively to TV Fanatic that she chose not to read the book because she knew there would be distinct changes in the series.
"I didn't want to cross-pollinate what was happening on set versus in the book," the star shares.
"So I decided to just focus on the scripts and that character arc as it was being written for the show."
The star revealed that she waited to read the book until production was completed, and she hopes fans of the show will discover the book.

“Saint X,” Alexis Schaitkin’s acclaimed 2020 novel, has roiling depth beneath its placid surface, much like the pristine waters of the Caribbean island where it takes place. The body of a young American girl washes ashore in those tropical tides, and because her death incites the story, “Saint X” initially cuts the figure of a thriller. Yes, the book slowly unfurls the details behind her untimely demise. But the story isn’t really about what happened, it’s about the grief, recrimination and obsession that consumes the survivors over time. It’s a meditation on trauma, shot through with social commentary and disguised as a nondescript “imperiled woman” beach read.
Hulu’s series adaptation of “Saint X” hews closely to its source material, which winds up being as much a curse as a gift. The show also feints at a proper whodunnit, then builds to a nuanced, if anticlimactic conclusion,...

It’s always a tragedy when a family member dies. But when the circumstances surrounding their death become murkier instead of clearer, sometimes there’s only one person who can get to the bottom of things. That’s the premise of “Saint X,” the new thriller series coming to Hulu on Wednesday, April 26. When a missing young woman turns up dead , only her enterprising sister can figure out the truth of what happened to her. You can watch Saint X with a 30-Day Free Trial of Hulu.

In a moment of emotional crisis, Alison (West Duchovny) blurts out the suspicion that’s been weighing on her to a stranger in the bathroom: “Am I generic?” she sobs. And though the stranger assures her that she’s not, Saint X takes a more nuanced view.
In premise, the series would seem to be a fairly standard take on the dead-white-girl narrative, with Alison’s eventual unexplained death serving as the mystery at the heart of the plot. But as with the 2020 Alexis Schaitkin novel it’s based on, it upends those tropes by offering a kaleidoscope of perspectives that reconsider what kind of stories we expect from tragedies like these, and who gets to be at their center — or it aims to, anyway. Unfortunately, an accumulation of minor fumbles leaves what could’ve been an incisive subversion of a familiar story feeling, instead, more like a replication of it.

Gwendoline Christie has had another great year on television, with scene-stealing turns in both drama and comedy series. After appearing in Netflix’s acclaimed adaptation of Neil Gaiman‘s “The Sandman,” the “Game of Thrones” star was featured in another Netflix hit, the widely popular “Wednesday.”
“The Sandman” follows Tom Sturridge as Morpheus, the personification of dreams who escapes from an occult ritual after 106 years and tries to re-establish his realm, the Dreaming. Christie plays Lucifer Morningstar, the ruler of Hell, and the show’s iteration of the Devil. Tom Ellis‘ “Lucifer” took a more liberal approach in its adaptation of Gaiman’s character, but Christie’s iteration is far closer to the version found in Gaiman’s original work.
Episode four features a scene wherein Morpheus visits hell and talks with Lucifer. It’s a fantastic example of Christie’s portrayal of the devil, as she turns any preconceptions...

The fourth and final season of “Succession” was always going to be an Emmy threat. The HBO drama about a powerful and wealthy New York media family led by Logan Roy (Brian Cox) amassed a whopping 48 nominations and 13 wins throughout its first three seasons. Nearly half of those bids (23) were for acting, so no one should be surprised if/when the Jesse Armstrong-created series earns several more on its way out, beginning with the guest categories and going all the way up the chain. And no one should be surprised if a few of those nominations also lead to repeat winners.
Cherry Jones is one of three “Succession” actors who have won for their performance thus far (Jeremy Strong and Matthew Macfadyen are the others). She took home the Emmy for Best Drama Guest Actress in 2020 for her turn as Nan Pierce, the formidable head of the wealthy Pierce...

Who could have ever predicted that when “Better Call Saul” premiered in 2015, straight off the heels of one of the most victorious final seasons at the Emmys with its predecessor “Breaking Bad,” that it would suffer one of the biggest Emmy droughts in history? The AMC prequel series amassed 46 total nominations in the loss column to date, and has still yet to win a single Emmy Award. This will be its last chance as it contends for its final season’s second installment, which contains its concluding six episodes; will this be the year it finally wins something as the show bids farewell?
Last year for its first half of its final season, the legal crime drama garnered seven Emmy nominations, including Best Drama Series, Best Drama Actor for Bob Odenkirk (as Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman/Gene Takovic), Best Supporting Actress for Rhea Seehorn (as Kim Wexler) and Best Drama Writing for Thomas Schnauz.

Bob Odenkirk could find himself in the rare Emmy air this year. AMC will submit Odenkirk’s new series, “Lucky Hank,” in comedy categories for this year’s Emmy competition, Variety has confirmed.
Of course, AMC is also submitting the final episodes of Odenkirk’s “Better Call Saul” in the drama fields. Should Odenkirk be nominated in both the best drama actor and best comedy actor races, he would become the first performer in history to be nominated in both genres in the same year.
Several performers have been nominated and even won Emmys as both drama and comedy leads — but never at the same time. It’s a possibility: Odenkirk has been nominated five times in the best drama actor category for “Better Call Saul,” and this will be his final opportunity to compete in that race for “Saul”.

Even if you’ve signed up for every streaming service out there, it can feel monumental when a title moves from one to another. In April, Netflix mainstay “New Girl” moves to Hulu; still streaming, but not where fans are used to finding it — like rearranging the furniture in your apartment and waking up surprised every day that the couch is over there now.
But what’s important is that “New Girl” lives on, now joining Hulu’s own TV and movie library and originals from Freeform, FX, National Geographic, and more. Later in the month, Leila Gerstein’s “Saint X” — based on the novel by Alexis Schaitkin — premieres with three episodes, recounting the story of a young girl found dead during a family vacation and the sister piecing it together years later. Alycia Debnam-Carey, Josh Bonzie, West Duchovny, Jayden Elijah, Bre Francis, Kenlee Anaya Townsend, Betsy Brandt, and Michael Park star.

Soulmates will not be returning for a second season after all. AMC quietly cancelled the drama anthology series late last year. The series premiered on AMC in late 2020 and was renewed for a second season ahead of its launch. The series is set in the near future when a test can tell people who their soulmate is. The show was created by Will Bridges and Brett Goldstein.
First season episodes star Sarah Snook, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Bill Skarsgard, Malin Akerman, Charlie Heaton, and Betsy Brandt. The six-episode season averaged just 198,000 viewers during its linear run, which is one of the reasons why AMC pulled the plug on the drama, per THR.

The sci-fi anthology series, which was created by Will Bridges (“Black Mirror”) and Brett Goldstein (“Ted Lasso”) and based on their short film “For Life,” was previously renewed for a second season in August 2020.
“We were immediately drawn to the unique premise of Soulmates as it explores love and relationships from several touchpoints in a way that naturally feeds the zeitgeist, prompting conversations around human connection, relationships and happiness,” Dan McDermott, president of original programming for AMC Networks’ Entertainment Group and co-president of AMC Studios, said at the time of the renewal. “These are stories and themes that resonate and feel almost timely given today’s climate in which so many of us feel disconnected or are coping with shifting relationship dynamics. We’re thrilled to continue our relationship with Will and Brett who never...

AMC is splitting up with Soulmates.
The cable network is not moving forward with the planned second season of the anthology series.
The Hollywood Reporter first reported the news, adding that the decision was made to cancel the series last year.
While AMC has caught a lot of heat for canceling previously renewed shows, the demise of Soulmates is said to be due to scheduling issues.
Brett Goldstein's busy schedule with Ted Lasso and Shrinking are said to have been a part of the reason for the cancellation.
But the show was never a winner in the ratings for the cabler.
THR notes the first season averaged fewer than 200,000 viewers across its initial season in 2020.

Add Soulmates to the list of shows that have been “unrenewed.”
AMC has reversed coursed on the previously announced second season for the sci-fi anthology from creators Will Bridges (Black Mirror) and Emmy winner Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso).
Sources say the decision to cancel the show was made quietly last year with factors including Goldstein’s busy schedule as a writer and exec producer on both Apple’s Shrinking and Ted Lasso, the latter of which he also stars in. Other factors include Soulmates’ lackluster ratings as the six-episode first season averaged less than 200,000 viewers during its linear run on AMC. The series was also available at the launch of AMC+ before making its linear debut a few days later.
AMC renewed Soulmates in August 2020 — two months before its premiere and before Ted Lasso became a breakout hit for Apple, making Goldstein and his surly Roy Kent instant fan favorites.
