Brutal British crime drama Gangs of London is back for a second series on Sky Atlantic and Now, with a release date of 20th October in the UK and 17th November in the US, and it’s looking as dark and gritty as ever.

When the explosive first series launched in April 2020, this story of the turbulent power struggles of London’s criminal underworld – centring on the Wallace family and various other international gangs – was an instant hit, at the time becoming Sky Atlantic’s second-biggest original drama launch behind Chernobyl. As dramas go it’s a thrilling powerhouse of a series, full of epic fight scenes and twisty narrative, and certainly isn’t for the faint-hearted gore-wise.

Now it’s back for a second series, fans will certainly be looking forward to seeing their unanswered questions resolved, as well as being introduced to new players in this savage power game.

“A Very British Scandal...

If you’re confused as to who is actually able to compete for the newly announced virtual Tony Awards this fall, you’re not alone. The Tony Awards Administration Committee announced a new cut off date of February 19, 2020. That means that the 2019-2020 Broadway season was cut incredibly short.

Musical races are most heavily affected by the shortened season. “West Side Story” will have to wait until next year to compete as it opened after the February 19th eligibility cutoff date. Other scheduled revivals of “Caroline, or Change” and “Company” were postponed due to the Broadway shutdown. As such there will be no Revival of a Musical category this year. Other categories, like Best Musical and Director of a Musical, will likely see their number of nominees reduced to three due to a limited number of contenders.

Luckily, there are plenty of plays in contention since many of these non-musical outings premiere in the fall.

“Black Mirror’s” Emmy journey this season has had more twists than a “Black Mirror” episode. After getting permission to stay in the Best TV Movie category, despite its submission “Smithereens” being five minutes short of the new 75-minute requirement, the show was shunted to drama last week. That means instead of the limited/TV movie acting races, “Black Mirror’s” Season 5 stars can now choose to enter in drama lead, supporting or guest. And if any of them or Netflix are torn, take it from us: Go guest.

Current Emmy rules stipulate that performers who appear in less than 50 percent of a show’s season are eligible to compete in guest, but are not required to, so they can pick whatever category they want. But to put it bluntly, guest is arguably where all “Black Mirror” actors belong. The show is an anthology series with a different cast every episode.

Landing last week on Sky and Cinemax, Gangs Of London has been one of the most thrilling and explosive new shows around (check out our review) with a cliffhanger ending that leaves things open for more action.

While Gangs of London series 2 hasn’t been confirmed, there seems to be an appetite for it from show co-creator (along with Matt Flannery) Gareth Evans. Evans told The Metro:

‘There’s room for it. Without giving too much away, we definitely end the season on a note where people will be wanting more and asking what is happening next.

‘I’m treading carefully! It’s sort of a cliff-hanger but as most things it’s a story that takes on a lot of different aspects, there’s a lot of different characters in there, a lot of vested interests, there’s a lot of stray threats trailing in the wind ready to be picked up again.

A new Broadway season is gearing up, and there are currently nine productions of plays set to open this fall. Could we be seeing any of them contend at this year’s Tony Awards? Below, we recap the plot of each play as well as the awards history of its author, cast, creative types, the opening, and (where applicable) closing dates.

“Betrayal” (opens September 5; closes December 8)

In the third Broadway revival of Harold Pinter’s 1978 award-winning play, the story charts a compelling seven-year romance, thrillingly captured in reverse chronological order.

The original Broadway production received Tony nominations for star Blythe Danner and director Peter Hall. This production is coming in after a successful run in London’s West End earlier this year. The cast includes Emmy nominee Tom Hiddleston, Zawe Ashton, SAG winner Charlie Cox, and is directed by Laurence Olivier Award winner Jamie Lloyd.

“The Height of the Storm...

TheSamuel J. Friedman Theatre was the place to be last night asFlorian Zeller's new play,The Height of the Storm officially opened. Translated by two-time Tony Award Winner Christopher HamptonLes Liaisons Dangereuses and directed by Tony and Drama Desk Award nominee Jonathan Kent Long Day's Journey into Night, the play features Olivier and Tony Award Winner Jonathan Pryce,three-time Olivier Award Winner Eileen Atkins, Lucy Cohu,Amanda Drew,James Hillierand Lisa O'Hare.

“Haunting” is a word critics overuse, but sometimes nothing else will do. Still, I’ll do my best to avoid it – after this review of The Height of the Storm, the thoughtful and engrossing new play by Florian Zeller, translated from the French by Christopher Hampton, opening tonight at the Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on Broadway.

See, haunting here makes extra sense because the word conjures haunted, and serves well this play of death and ghost-like presences and what happens when the living can’t let go of their beloveds. With just a few shifts in direction and a horror movie score, Height could be one of the best haunted house tales since Nicolle Kidman got spooked by The Others.

But of course, it’s not that type of haunted. As directed by Jonathan Kent (Long Day’s Journey Into Night) and starring a made for...

Balancing times of peace and periods of conflict is a challenge that almost all military stories face. As soldiers weigh their duty to their work and to their families, the uniform can become an all-encompassing force and few dramatized stories can exist outside its long shadow. Just this year alone, series like “The Long Road Home” and “Six” have struggled to make their characters exist as something more than stand-ins for ideas and fulfillers of narrative obligation.

But “The Last Post,” the latest co-venture between the BBC and Amazon, finds a special balance by reaching decades into the past. Charting the respective experiences of a Royal Military Police unit stationed in Aden, Yemen and the twin drama of their personal family lives, “The Last Post” considers the nature of escalation and retaliation, both within and outside the base’s walls. Drawn in part from writer Peter Moffat’s family experiences at a similar outpost,...

Amanda Drew, who plays Dr "Mad" May Wright in EastEnders, has revealed that she is "very good friends" with Catherine Tate. Drew recalled how, on one occasion, her ties with the comedienne drew more press attention than she was used to. "We worked on a play together in 1995 and stayed in touch," said the actress. "She was going to a fashion preview. We met up first and walked to where it was and luckily I had a fairly nice dress, not my usual jeans and trainers.

EastEnders actress Amanda Drew has revealed how she never closed the door on the possibility of returning to Albert Square. This week, viewers have seen Mad May walk back into Walford after a year's absence. The 38-year-old behind the character has now explained how she only heard at the beginning of the year that the soap's bosses were contemplating her return. Speaking on This Morning, she said of her comeback: "Until January, I didn't think anything more of it and then I met Diederick [Santer], the new executive producer, and we had a chat about what his ideas were for the storyline and I thought it sounded really exciting...

EastEnders actress Amanda Drew is to reprise her controversial Walford role as warped Dr 'Mad' May Wright.

The 38-year-old actress will resurrect her sinister screen counterpart after almost a year's break. Viewers last saw May tangled in the midst of Albert Square's baby abduction storyline which led to her character's exit from the soap.

Last year, BBC bosses made the decision to substantially re-write and re-film the ending to the storyline due to events surrounding Madeleine McCann in Portugal. The climax episode still attracted almost 200 complaints.

The plot saw May and husband Rob Minter (Stuart Laing) attempting to steal Dawn Swann's (Kara Tointon) baby via a forced caesarian and came to a head with Drew's character being arrested and subsequently sectioned.

Now, May is to return to . . .
