On Jan. 14, just a day before The Bear and Bottoms star Ayo Edebiri would win her first Emmy, the actress, writer and comedian would shout out Ireland while accepting a Critics Choice Award for best actress in a comedy.
“I want to thank my real family, I don’t know if they have CW abroad. To everybody in Boston, Barbados, Nigeria, Ireland in many ways,” she told the crowd at the Barker Hanger at the Santa Monica Airport. “Thank you so much.”
Three out of four places Edebiri had mentioned would have made sense to any general viewer or show attendee that night. Edebiri was born in Boston to a Barbadian mother and Nigerian father, both of whom have been thanked in speeches and captured in memorable photos alongside the actress during her busy awards season.
And while Boston has a history of a strong Irish American community (and Ireland...

A politically charged statement from Siobhan McSweeney’s BAFTA acceptance speech was edited out of the BAFTA TV Awards ceremony broadcast on Sunday.
McSweeney won the best female comedy performance BAFTA for playing Sister Michael in Channel 4’s Northern Ireland-set show “Derry Girls.” During her speech McSweeney said: “To the people of Derry, thank you for taking me into your hearts and into your living rooms. I am daily impressed with how you encompass the spirit of compromise and resilience despite the indignities, ignorance, and stupidity of your so-called leaders in Dublin, Stormont and Westminster. In the words of my beloved Sister Michael, ‘It’s time they started to wise up.'”
These lines were cut from the broadcast.
What actually happened Vs what the BBC aired. Tell me again how the BBC is unbiased? Why have they cut that out? @siobhni @scottygb pic.twitter.com/aAz6MeCg6p...

Welcome to Derry promises to continue the iconic Stephen King horror universe when it comes to screens, following in the footsteps of shows like Castle Rock, the It prequel series will bring the scares. It’s safe to say that, over the years, King has amassed a large cult following with his chilling tales of horror and suspense. And one of his most beloved characters, the demonic clown Pennywise, has become a classic. First introduced in the 1986 novel It, Pennywise has since become one of King’s most recognizable and terrifying villains. In the 1990 miniseries adaptation, Tim Curry’s portrayal of...

The Max series Welcome to Derry, which will serve as a prequel to Warner Bros’ two-part adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel It (pick up a copy Here), is now in production, with It and It: Chapter Two director Andy Muschietti on board to direct multiple episodes of the show, including the first episode. To mark the start of production, Muschietti has shared an image from the set of Welcome to Derry, and you can check it out in the Instagram embed at the bottom of this article.
This image reveals that the show will be introducing us to a character named Clint Bowers, who is likely related to the Butch Bowers and Henry Bowers characters from the It movies.
Brad Caleb Kane (Tokyo Vice) and Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman), who was a co-producer on It: Chapter Two, are the showrunners on Welcome to Derry. The show...

Filming kicked off this month on the HBO Max series “Welcome to Derry,” an official prequel to the two Stephen King-based It movies from Andy Muschietti. Taking to Instagram over the weekend, Muschietti shared a first-look behind the scenes photo from the set.
The photo, which you’ll find below, shows us the office door of Derry’s Chief of Police Clint Bowers, a new member of the Bowers family we’ll be meeting in “Welcome to Derry.”
Henry Bowers was of course the leader of the Bowers Gang that tormented the Losers’ Club in Stephen King’s classic horror story, and we’ve also met Butch Bowers (Henry’s father) and Connor Bowers (Henry’s cousin) in Muschietti’s movie adaptations. Butch Bowers was a cop, so it makes sense that another family member was the Chief of Police some years prior.
But who exactly is Clint Bowers?...
