Stephanie Collie, the UK costume designer who created the iconic fashion look on the first season of Peaky Blinders, has died at the age of 60.

Collie died on October 26 at St Christopher’s Hospice in London, following a terminal cancer diagnosis six months previously.

Collie based the look for Tommy Shelby and his early 20th century Birmingham street gang on criminal mugshots of the period. Her costume choices had significant influence on British fashion, and their effect continues to be felt 10 years after the show premiered.

Following a degree from the London College of Fashion, Collie worked in the sewing room at the BBC,...

As a result of a spectacular 8-season run that lasted from 2005 to 2012, House M.D. became one of the most iconic medical drama series ever produced. Led by the utterly talented Hugh Laurie, the series gripped its audiences with colorful characters, complex mysteries, and unconventional medical solutions.

House M.D. | Amazon Prime

The series ran for eight successful seasons, but plans for a ninth season never came to fruition. Despite the show’s popularity and Laurie’s willingness to continue, a combination of financial challenges and creative decisions led to the show’s ultimate cancellation after Season 8.

Can you believe it’s been over 12 years since House ended?!

The Fox medical television show ended its run after eight seasons on the network, and after winning several awards, including two Primetime Emmy Awards and three Creative Arts Emmys.

Starring Hugh Laurie, Robert Sean Leonard, Omar Epps, Jesse Spencer, Lisa Edelstein, Jennifer Morrison, Peter Jacobson, Olivia Wilde, Kal Penn, Amber Tamblyn, Odette Annable and Charlyne Yi, the series focused on Dr. Gregory House (Laurie), who is devoid of anything resembling bedside manner and wouldn’t even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor.

While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a brilliant diagnostician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts afford him widespread respect. An infectious disease specialist, House thrives on the challenge of...

Nobody thinks they’ve got an accent, which means they really notice when someone is imitating their accent so badly that it borders on mockery. For instance, most Americans would describe their own speech as “normal,” but have you ever heard a foreign actor just completely bomb it? If not, go watch Iwan Rheon pretend to be an American rock star in The Dirt, Just his scenes, though. That movie is a lot.

That’s why it’s all the more impressive when they get it right, even if, by the nature of getting it right, you never even notice. “In high school, I remember people being shocked to learn Hugh Laurie was English when House was huge,” Redditor homeMalone89 told r/Movies. “I think Daniel Kaluuya’s American accent work is the best there currently is.”

However, “while watching Bullet Train, it occurred to me that I’m unaware...

Exclusive: Guy Ritchie’s Young Sherlock series has cast the title character’s older brother. Max Irons (Condor) is set as a series regular on the Prime Video show, playing Mycroft Holmes opposite Hero Fiennes Tiffin’s Sherlock. Speculation about Irons’ casting started last month when he was snapped on the set of the series; his character had not been revealed until now.

Inspired by Andy Lane’s book series, Young Sherlock is described as an irreverent, action-packed origin story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved detective in a re-imagining of this iconic character. At age 19, Sherlock Holmes (Fiennes Tiffin) is disgraced, raw, unfiltered, and unformed, when he finds himself caught up in a murder mystery at Oxford University which threatens his freedom. Diving into his first-ever case with a wild lack of discipline, Sherlock manages to unravel a globe-trotting conspiracy that will change his life forever.

In addition to Fiennes Tiffin,...

One of the coolest and most beloved sub-genres for thriller, action, and drama fans is the spy genre and there’s a good reason. In a spy film or series, we get complicated and cool characters who put their lives on the line by going against numerous people and instead of always letting their guns talk they use more covert tactics, which are always thrilling to watch.

Though inspired by famed neurologist Oliver Sacks (Awakenings), Brilliant Minds’ maverick doctor hero Oliver Wolf (the intense Zachary Quinto) also owes a debt to his TV predecessors. Like Hugh Laurie in House, he’s an abrasive rule-breaker, a genius who annoys those in authority while solving profound medical mysteries—think of him as a brain whisperer—with quirky interns eagerly following his every move. Like Freddie Highmore in The Good Doctor, he has a condition you wouldn’t expect in a healer: face blindness. “It makes you look so much deeper. You see the stuff the rest of us miss,” a colleague assures him, perhaps a bit too on the nose. Also rare in a lead character, Oliver is openly gay, although in the first episodes, his affections are focused solely on his noble profession and his considerable empathy reserved for his troubled patients. The cases of the week tend...

I know it doesn’t feel like 2004 was 20 years ago, but it was, which means many great TV shows just turned 20 years old.

Seriously, 2004 is a sneaky good year for new TV premieres. Most of the titles on this list of good TV shows turning 20 years old in 2024 were broadcast hits. The cable networks had a decent market share in the early 2000s, but we’re still a decade before the streaming industry changed the TV game.

At this point in TV history, we’re still seven years before the Game of Thrones premiere. Remember that, please!

Let’s get the list started with the best show of 2004!

Lost 2010 Winter TCA Tour - Day 4 | Frederick M. Brown/GettyImages

Created by Jeffrey Lieber, J. J. Abrams, and Damon Lindelof, Lost premiered on ABC in the fall of 2004. The series told the story of a group of survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious island.

House is celebrating its 20th anniversary this fall so what better time to check in on how old the cast of the Fox hit was then and now!

Premiering on Nov. 16, 2004, House centered around Gregory House, an absolute medical genius with a Sherlock Holmes ability to unravel medical mysteries that baffled other doctors. However, thanks to pain from a blood clot in his leg that had him relying on a cane, House was also an arrogant, selfish, cynical jerk insulting everyone around him.

The show became one of Fox's biggest hits of the decade, running eight seasons with Laurie earning two Golden Globes and several Emmy nominations. It also boosted many of its cast to future stardom. So how old were the actors then and now?

Imagine a parallel universe where House never existed, and Hugh Laurie was gallivanting around Gotham instead. Picture him, not as the irascible Dr. House, but as a brooding DC character, missing out on a role he was desperate to play. Instead, Laurie’s brilliant portrayal of the curmudgeonly diagnostician skyrocketed into a phenomenon, demanding his full attention and leaving his DC dreams in the dust.

It’s as if the universe decided that Laurie’s future was destined for diagnostic genius rather than superhero capes. Dive into this quirky twist of fate where Laurie’s TV triumphs redefined his career path and left a DC role hanging in the balance!

Hugh Laurie,...

What are we if not failed imitations of our fathers? Or at least, that is what Hugh Laurie seems to believe in because of his role in House. The series that follows the British actor in the titular role as a medical genius hides a real-life secret that has long been haunting him.

Now, decades later, even though Laurie has come a long way since his role as the Dr. Gregory House, earning widespread fame, acclaim, and numerous Emmy nominations along the way, the actor still doesn’t feel like he can outrun that old secret any time soon.

Actor, writer and director Kenneth Branagh’s next film will be The Last Disturbance Of Madeline Hynde. The plot hasn’t been revealed as yet, but if we were to speculate, the title hints at some sort of thriller or mystery (Branagh has been making those Poirot films of late). Jodie Comer was cast in the production earlier this year, and according to Deadline, the rest of the cast has been confirmed.

Comer stars alongside Patricia Arquette, Michael Sheen, Tom Bateman, Vicky McClure, Michael Balogun, Kristina Tonteri-Young, Karla Crome, Aiysha Hart and Gemma Whelan.

"Bones" enjoyed a ridiculously healthy run on Fox from 2005 to 2017. With 12 seasons and well over 200 episodes under its belt, we're talking about one of the more successful network shows of the modern era. Getting any show made is hard. Making one this enduring? It's almost impossible. Any number of things can derail a show from a casting decision to the whims of a network. But everything went right for this series. Would it have been as successful with a different title? We'll never know but "Bones" was very nearly called something else before Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz came into the picture.

In "Bones: The Official Companion," creator Hart Hanson reveals the show's creatives were struggling to find the right title during development. At one point, the idea was to simply call the show "Brennan" after its lead character, Temperance Brennan, not unlike Fox's other very successful 2000s series "House,...

Frank Murray and Frida Torresblanco have joined the production team of The Night Manager Season 2 via their nascent Hangtime International Pictures, with plans ramping up for the next instalment of the John le Carré adaptation.

Deadline revealed the launch of Hangtime in the run up to Cannes and The Night Manager is its first project. Pan’s Labyrinth and First Reformed vets Murray and Torresblanco will join the production team as co-execs.

Murray was brought on board the series by The Ink Factory co-founder and co-ceo Simon Cornwell and EP Stephen Garrett, Hangtime said.

Backed by an eight-figure investment out of New York, Hangtime is focusing on developing and producing U.S. and regional content with global appeal. The partners recently told us they will work on high-end, specialist and mainstream content across film, television, and documentaries in both English and Spanish.

The move is the latest development for The Night Manager...

Hugh Laurie has never won an Emmy. That seems like an egregious oversight on behalf of TV academy voters, considering the British actor starred as one of the best TV characters of this century in “House.” Still, 10 nominations (we’ll get to those later) and zero wins.

He could finally break that losing streak with Netflix’s “All the Light We Cannot See.” Adapted from Anthony Doerr‘s 2014 novel of the same name, written by Steven Knight, and directed by Shawn Levy, this miniseries depicts the lives of two teenagers during WWII — one a blind French girl and the other a German boy forced to fight for the Nazi regime. Laurie features as Uncle Étienne, a reclusive, agoraphobic WWI veteran suffering from Ptsd. Laurie has always been a classy performer and he again brings a lot of heart, warmth, and intelligence here to this role, as noted by several critics.

One of the best gifs for all fans of the thriller genre, as well as all Tom Hiddleston fans, was a return of the 2016 TV series The Night Manager. The show premiered 8 years ago and since then has become a huge hit, but for a long time there were no hopes to bring it back. Now, however, fans can be sure of its return.

While it was announced that Tom Hiddleston will be back to reprise his role of Jonathan Pine for the second season, the rest of the cast remained a mystery, but now there are even more great updates about The Night Manager's original cast members returning to the show.

Who Will Be Back for The Night Manager Season 2?

It's no secret that aside from an intriguing premise and brilliant writing, the success of the first season of The Night Manager depended on the cast. Tom Hiddleston's...

Olivia Colman is among the cast returning for series 2 of The Night Manager, and here are the details.

Back in 2018, The Night Manager was a huge hit for the BBC, winning 36 awards including two Emmys, a BAFTA and several Golden Globes.

Adapted from the 1993 novel by John Le Carre, the show followed Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), the night manager of a high class hotel in Cairo, who is recruited by Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), the manager of a Foreign Office task force, to infiltrate the inner circle of sinister arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie).

It was a glossy, big budget production, and writer David Farr expertly crafted Le Carre’s twisty plot into six exhilarating hours of drama.

Earlier this year, the BBC confirmed that two more series have been commissioned and will be filmed back to back, presumably owing to Hiddleston’s busy schedule. Farr returned to write the scripts,...

The Night Manager is getting much of its Season 1 gang back together, with Olivia Colman among five cast members now returning for the previously announced second season.

According to our sister site Variety, Colman will reprise her role of intelligence officer Angela Burr, which scored her an Emmy nomination for the freshman run in 2016. Also coming back for Season 2 are Alistair Petrie (as Alexander “Sandy” Langbourne), Douglas Hodge (as Rex Mayhew), Michael Nardone (as Frisky) and Noah Jupe (as Danny Roper, the son of Hugh Laurie’s character).

Also returning for the new edition: Alistair Petrie as Alexander “Sandy” Langbourne; Douglas Hodge as Rex Mayhew; Michael Nardone as Frisky; and Noah Jupe as Danny Roper (who apparently now goes by “Daniel”).

The new season, which takes place eight years after the Season 1 finale, is set to air on BBC One and the BBC iPlayer in the U.K., and globally outside of the U.K. (including the U.S.) on Amazon’s Prime Video. Colman, Petrie, Hodge, Nardone and Jupe join fellow “The Night Manager” returnee Tom Hiddleston, who (as previously announced) is also back as former military officer Jonathan Pine.

It comes as no surprise that many classic TV shows and movies are making a comeback these days. While many people are still on the fence about remakes and revivals, as they tend to be worse than the originals, there are some gems that become fan favorites in no time. The second installment of The Night Manager could be another addition to that list.

Back in 2016, the show blew everyone away with its sharp writing and fast pacing. However, the 6-episode effort ended after one season and wasn't picked up to return. That was until the 2024 news of a comeback with another two seasons. And the second season already seems to be as great as anything we have seen before.

Inspired by the characters in John le Carré’s best-selling novel, the upcoming second season of The Night Manager will once again be written by show creator David Farr and Season 2 will be helmed by BAFTA-winning director Georgi Banks-Davies. Details regarding who Calva will portray and the season’s plot are under wraps.

Season 1 premiered in 2016 to much fanfare. Led by Hiddleston alongside Hugh Laurie, The Night Manager was watched by millions and won multiple BAFTAs, Emmys and Golden Globes including Best Actor for Hiddleston. Also starring Tom Hollander, Olivia Colman and Elizabeth Debicki, it followed Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston) – who ran a luxury hotel in Cairo – as he attempted...

Last month, Prime Video and the BBC officially announced that they are moving forward with two more seasons of the series The Night Manager, with Tom Hiddleston remaining in the lead role. Someone who is not expected to return for season 2 is Elizabeth Debicki, who played Hiddleston’s character’s “secret lover” – but maybe he’ll find love again. Variety reports that Camila Morrone, who recently starred in the Prime Video series Daisy Jones & The Six, has signed on to join Hiddleston in the cast of The Night Manager season 2. Details on Morrone’s character have not yet been revealed.

Created by David Farr and based on a 1993 novel by John le Carré, the first season of The Night Manager saw Hiddleston taking on the role of Jonathan Pine, the night manager of a luxury hotel in Cairo and a former British soldier. Pine is recruited by Angela Burr,...

“Daisy Jones & the Six” star Camila Morrone is set to join Tom Hiddleston in a new season of “The Night Manager.”

The hit show, based on John le Carré’s bestselling novel of the same name, is returning for two new seasons from BBC and Prime Video, which will see Hiddleston reprise his role as Jonathan Pine, who works in a hotel after leaving the army.

The new season, which is set to start shooting later this year, will pick up eight years after Season 1. “The Crown” star Elizabeth Debicki played Pine’s secret lover Jed Marshall in the first season. She is not expected to return.

Morrone’s character in the new season has not been revealed. Morrone previously played Camila Dunne in “Daisy Jones and the Six” alongside Riley Keough and Sam Claflin. She has also appeared in feature “Marmalade” and “Gonzo Girl,” opposite Willem Dafoe and Patricia Arquette.

The Night Manager has found a new star for the upcoming second season.

Emmy-nominated Daisy Jones & the Six actor Camila Morrone will play a major role in the second series alongside the likes of the returning Tom Hiddleston, we understand. The Crown star Elizabeth Debicki, who played Jed in Season 1, is unlikely to return, Deadline is told.

Deadline broke news of a supercharged double-season order of the John le Carré BBC adaptation several weeks ago and Amazon is on board as co-producer for both, replacing AMC.

Morrone will play a major role. She was nominated for an Emmy for her performance in Amazon’s Daisy Jones & the Six, for which she starred as Camila Dunne. Past credits include Marmalade, Gonzo Girl and Death Wish.

Serialized storylines are, naturally, tricky for shows that are, by design, inherently episodic. When "House" devoted a large chunk of its third season to the relentless Detective Michael Tritter (David Morse) trying to get back at Hugh Laurie's misanthropic diagnostician for humiliating him, the series' writers were banking on viewers not losing interest before the pair's conflict had concluded. As one of those viewers, let me tell you: It's a good thing they didn't push their luck any further than they did, even if pitting House against a cop was about as effective a way as any to get us to overlook the former's many, many blatantly unethical indiscretions and root for him to outwit this wannabe Moriarty to his Sherlock.

"Bones," like "House," was primarily episodic, with its namesake, Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), and her other half, FBI agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), typically wrapping up a...

It's 2024 and one of the best British television personalities, Steven Knight, is in business like never before! Yes, admittedly, his projects these days are not as critically acclaimed as Peaky Blinders, but they always boast a high level of production and, of course, an excellent cast, which has never been wrong with Knight's TV series.

Last year's All the Light We Cannot See delighted us with the talent of young actors like Louis Hofmann and Aria Mia Loberti, as well as Hollywood colossi Hugh Laurie and Mark Ruffalo, while this March the BBC released This Town, led by the excellent British cast of Levi Brown, Jordan Bolger, Ben Rose and Eve Austin.

And the star of the new series, which is now streaming on Hulu, is none other than Elisabeth Moss, along with other equally stellar cast members that we will talk about below. Although the show has failed to impress critics so far,...

Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockman have never had an assignment like the one they faced with “All the Light They Cannot See,” the four-part Netflix wartime limited series that’s adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from author Anthony Doerr. The UK-based casting directors were tasked with finding a pair of blind actors to play the dual lead role of Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French girl. Executive producer and director Shawn Levy was insistent that they go for strict authenticity in casting. And Netflix was very much onboard. It tells you everything you need to know about partners Bevan and Brockman that hey viewed this incredibly difficult challenge as “a hugely appealing” thing, in Bevan’s words. “Casting a blind person in a leading role…well, it’s never been done before,” Bevan adds. “But that was very much part of the appeal.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.

Steven Knight has been round the block, and the British writer-creator of the iconic series “Peaky Blinders” knew when he was hired to adapt the novel “All the Light We Cannot See” as a four-part Netflix limited series that the primary challenge would essentially be to avoid trying to fix something that wasn’t broken. The 2014 book by author Anthony Doerr had not only been a runaway bestseller but also earned Doerr the Pulitzer Prize, and Knight had no intention of compromising its brilliance while writing the series. “It wasn’t ever a thought in my head to say, ‘Ok, I’m going to impose myself on this’,” he says. “It was actually quite the opposite. For me, as far as possible, it was more, ‘Let’s let this horse ride, let it run the way it is, where you feel as if you need to do something, then do something…...
