Exclusive: BBC plans to expand Abi Morgan’s divorce law series The Split are on hold.
Sources tell Deadline that preparations to shoot spin-off series, The Split Up, in Manchester this October have been paused indefinitely.
A BBC insider said there were editorial reasons for The Split Up being stood down, but they were not specific about why producers needed more time to resolve creative issues.
The BBC remains committed to the drama, which is produced by Sister’s northern arm and Morgan’s Little Chick Productions. A new shoot date has yet to be agreed.
Fewer than 10 people were working on The Split Up when it was postponed, though it is understood that others had turned down other projects to commit to the show in October. Casting was well underway.

Halle Berry says her James Bond is Pierce Brosnan, her Die Another Day co-star.
In a new interview, Berry revealed why Brosnan is her favorite 007 agent.
“He will always be my Bond, always. I’m a Pierce Brosnan fan,” Berry said in an interview with Wired. “He restored my faith in men on that movie. There couldn’t be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan.”
Berry starred in the 2002 spy film Die Another Day in the role of Giacinta “Jinx” Johnson, an Nsa agent. The film, directed by Lee Tamahori, was Brosnan’s last film as the MI6 agent after having starred in 1995’s GoldenEye, 1997’s Tomorrow Never Dies and 1999’s The World Is Not Enough.
“Bond wasn’t on my wishlist, no, to be in one but I loved the movies always,” Berry also said. “But having been in one, I feel like I...

Time is flying faster than Rhaenys fell to her death this season on “House of the Dragon,” which is to say, wow, somehow the Season 2 finale of the “Game of Thrones” spin-off is already upon us.
Despite multiple clips leaking on social media earlier this week after what HBO referred to as an “unintentional release from an international third-party distributor,” the finale (airing Sunday at 9/8 on HBO and Max) is still the most anticipated watch of the weekend that isn’t related to the Summer Olympics. In the penultimate episode, Emma D’Arcy’s Queen Rhaenyra was last seen gathering an unconventional group of dragonriders — including a blacksmith and a drunk — to set the stage for the finale’s major conflict with Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), who fled to King’s Landing when he saw Rhaenyra’s growing forces. If you’ve read the source material, you likely know how this will end.

Batman: The Animated Series creator Bruce Timm has returned to the world of the Dark Knight with Batman: Caped Crusader on Prime Video, but he once had the opportunity to do a proper revival of The Animated Series. If you’re wondering why that didn’t happen, it’s because he turned it down.
While speaking with The Wrap, Timm said that Warner Bros. approached him four or five years ago with the idea of bringing back Batman: The Animated Series. At the time, the studio was about to launch its own streaming service and clearly saw the draw of new episodes. “They said, ‘Hey, how would you feel about going back and making some more ‘B:tas’ episodes?’ And I’m like, ‘Nah, we’d been there, we’d done that.’ I wasn’t interested in just revisiting that world,” Timm explained.

This Batman review contains spoilers.
Everything you need to know about Batman: Caped Crusader happens in the opening credits. Sepia-tone shots of Batman glowering from a rooftop or skulking through empty rooms give way to images of the Gotham police office and gangsters firing tommy guns, all set to a moody, mournful score. Fancy art-deco script introduces the creatives involved, including producer credits for J.J. Abrams and The Batman director Matt Reeves.
Then there’s Bruce Timm, whose influence on the series is unquestionable from the moment the credits scene kicks off. Caped Crusader plays like an updated version of the great Batman: The Animated Series, which Timm created with Eric Radomski. Male characters may not have the same barrel chests and female figures don’t all have hourglass shapes, but the same linework and designs from the ’90s show is present. Each frame appears painted on black matte paper again,...

Batman: Caped Crusader is only a day away from being released and I have already watched the series and reviewed it on our site. The only thing I want to say is that I am so excited for all the Batman and specifically Batman: The Animated Series fans to watch this series. The upcoming Prime Video series was described as the spiritual successor to The Animated Series and that’s exactly what it is.
Set in the 1940s, Caped Crusader follows a new-to-the-job Batman who doesn’t have many fancy gadgets but what he does have is a brilliant mind for clues and his fists to keep the weirdos and costumed supervillains in check. With the help of his allies, Batman fights against the rising criminal activities in Gotham. So, if you love Batman: The Animated Series and are excited about all the mayhem in Batman: Caped Crusader, here are...

Like any icon who’s been around long enough, Batman has appeared before us in a nigh-infinite number of permutations. There are Batmans who fly solo, and Batmans who have Robins. There are Batmans who’ve been at this a while, and Batmans who are new to the job. There are campy Batmans and gritty Batmans, wholesome Batmans and scary Batmans, and every single shade in between.
The first task of any new version, then, is distinguishing itself from the others. Batman: Caped Crusader achieves that easily: It’s a noirish animated take set in the 1940s, not long after the character’s real-world debut in the comics. The second task is persuading us that this new iteration has what it takes to stand on its own, and in that sense its success is more mixed. With a sleek, simple style and a consistently moody vibe, the Prime Video series...

I shall only briefly touch on the corporate politics surrounding the release of "Batman: Caped Crusader." The new animated series, overseen by "Batman: The Animated Series" honcho Bruce Timm and pop culture archbishop J.J. Abrams, was handed off to Amazon during David Zaslav's aggravating Warner Bros. fire sale. Zaslav infamously axed many popular shows from HBO Max (now just called "Max"), canceled seemingly shoo-in successes, and even shelved completed movies for tax write-offs. Batman had long been associated with Warner Bros. -- the studio has released every piece of Batman media since 1967 -- so to hand such a famous character to another studio seemed like a foolish financial decision in the eyes of the world.
At the end of the day, however, those financial decisions are but red tape, a mere roadblock on the way to accessing a great show. And make no mistake, "Caped Crusader" is a great show.

Fans at this year's San Diego Comic-Con were treated to an early screening of Batman: Caped Crusader, but the biggest news which came out of the panel relates to a potentially controversial casting decision.
While fans of the Dark Knight's corner of the DC Universe will know the vigilante typically matches wits with Oswald Cobblepot, this 1940s version will have to contend with a new, female Penguin: Oswalda Cobblepot.
Entertainment Weekly caught up with Minnie Driver to discuss her role in the upcoming Prime Video series and the Good Will Hunting star says she jumped at the chance to reinvent such an iconic character. "That's what's so brilliant about what he's reimagined. The expansion of this particular character feels so timely. For such a vintage noir show, it's incredibly modern."
Driver will also get the chance to sing as Batman: Caped Crusader's Penguin, a challenge she was quick to embrace.

Season two of Percy Jackson, based on the second book in the series, The Sea of Monsters, is set to go into production next week in Vancouver. Diemer will be a series regular, joining stars Walker Scobell (Percy), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover).
Tyson is a young cyclops who grew up alone on the streets and finds it tough to survive in the human world. He’s also a child of Poseidon (Toby Stephens) — which means he’s Percy’s half-brother.

The cast of “Percy Jackson” Season 2 is starting to grow.
During the show’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, author Rick Riordan announced that Daniel Diemer will play Tyson, Percy’s half-brother and a cyclops, in Season 2.
“As some of you may know, in ‘Sea of Monsters’ we meet an important new character. He’s shy, awkward and endearing,” Riordan said in a video message. “His enthusiasm and talent bring a whole new dimension to Tyson.”
Tyson is an important new character in Riordan’s novel “Sea of Monsters,” which will be the basis of Season 2. Diemer previously starred in “Under the Bridge,” “The Midnight Club,” “The Man in the High Castle” and more. He also stands at 6’4”, making him a towering older half-brother to Percy.

The forthcoming Batman: Crusader is set to highlight some of Batman's lesser-known rogues as confirmed in the latest teaser trailer.
Firebug, Gentleman Ghost, and Nocturna's powers and abilities are sure to put a fledgling Batman to the test.
The series, created by Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves, will launch all episodes on Prime Video on August 1.
Previously, Timm stated, "Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth. It’s not ‘Year One’, it’s more like ‘Week Two.’
Continuing, he added, "I wanted to make him kind of weird, and spooky. If you’re stuck in a room with Batman, whether you’re Commissioner Gordon or Barbara Gordon or Renee Montoya, you don’t feel comfortable. You’re kind of like, ‘What is this guy? What’s this all about?"

A new poster for Batman: Caped Crusader has been released and it sees the Dark Knight walking down what may be a familiar alleyway as the shadows of his villains loom large.
So, who do we see here? Well, from left to right, there's Onomatopoeia, Two-Face, Catwoman, The Penguin, Harley Quinn, and a mysterious masked character we're having some trouble identifying.
There's a lot of intrigue surrounding this series, particularly given the creative team involved. While it isn't the Batman: The Animated Series many fans initially hoped for, it certainly feels like a spiritual successor, even with a vastly different setting - 1940s Gotham City - and a Bruce Wayne who has only just started his vigilante career.
Back to the hero's rogues gallery, though, and it sounds like they'll be undergoing their own reinvention in the Prime Video series.

Prime Video has released the first clip from Batman: Caped Crusader and it features Gotham City's Dark Knight chasing down some crooks in the iconic Batmobile.
A lot of split screen is utilised here (Ang Lee's Hulk would be so proud) and while this is a kid's show - we recently learned it won't boast a TV-ma rating - Batman isn't holding back as he mows down his foes.
Fans have high expectations for the show, especially as it's a spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series. However, the animation style and Bruce Timm's involvement are where the similarities end as this version is a rookie vigilante in 1940s-era Gotham.
It also sounds like Bruce Wayne will take a backseat as we pick up with the billionaire during his "Week Two" as Batman.

Prime Video's Batman: Caped Crusader looks set to put a completely new spin on the iconic DC Comics character. However, when the series was first announced, many fans hoped it might serve as a continuation of Batman: The Animated Series.
After all, it had been confirmed that producers Matt Reeves (The Batman) and J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) would be joined by the creative mastermind behind the classic series, Bruce Timm.
Instead, the show - which was offloaded by Warner Bros. Discovery to Amazon after originally being developed for Max as part of a series of cost-cutting measures - will take us to 1940s Gotham City and "Week Two" of Bruce Wayne's time as Batman.
Talking to Empire Magazine (via Toonado.com), Timm revealed that Batman: Caped Crusader will make a major change to Bruce's transformation into a masked vigilante...specifically in regards to when he chooses to suit up.

Bruce Timm is responsible for Batman: The Animated Series and returns to the Dark Knight's world with next month's Batman: Caped Crusader when the series launches on Prime Video.
Produced by Timm alongside J.J. Abrams and The Batman director Matt Reeves, the series takes place in the 1940s and pulls inspiration from the character's earliest comic book adventures. The setting isn't the only big change, though, as Timm says this story plays out even earlier in Batman's vigilante career than Frank Miller's "Year One."
"Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth," he tells Empire Online (via Toonado.com). "It’s not 'Year One.' It’s more like 'Week Two.'"

Last week we learned that Midnight Mass star Hamish Linklater is leading an all-star voice cast for Bruce Timm, Matt Reeves, and J.J. Abrams' hotly anticipated animated series Batman: Caped Crusader. Now, Prime Video have given us our first look at the Bat in action with the enigmatic first trailer for the Batman: The Animated Series spiritual successor, which sees Gotham's finest — and worst — all out to get the Dark Knight. Check it out below:
An unhinged bomber's on the loose, supervillains — Harley Quinn! Two-Face! The Penguin! And is that Green Arrow serial killer Onomatopoeia? — stalk the streets of Gotham, and the city's vigilantist hero is also the biggest target of its leaders and citizens' disdain. "What do you think about the Batman?" asks Gotham's mayor at the start of this tense new trailer. On present evidence, what we think is that this Batman is looking pretty darn good.

The first trailer for Batman: Caped Crusader has been released and the Dark Knight is quickly revealed to be a problem for both Gotham City's underworld and its police department.
They're determined to bring the Dracula-like vigilante to justice and it appears Batman will have to fight a war on two fronts as he sets out to protect his home. This sneak peek highlights many of the villains he'll have to contend with, including Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and a few relatively obscure offerings from the comics.
The 1940s setting seems to fit Batman: Caped Crusader well and, perhaps most importantly, Hamish Linklater sounds the part. Following in the footsteps of an actor like Kevin Conroy is no easy feat, but casting for the Prime Video series appears to be on point.
"I never in a million bajillion years imagined that I would actually get the part," the actor recently admitted.

The first teaser poster for Prime Video's Batman: Caped Crusader has been released today (via Toonado.com) and it features the show's Dark Knight keeping a watchful eye over 1940s Gotham City.
It's a striking piece of imagery and that's fitting for a take on Batman which draws inspiration from the hero's earliest comic book adventures. With any luck, this means we're getting a teaser trailer sooner rather than later as the long-delayed show's August premiere is fast approaching.
Original plans called for Batman: Caped Crusader to premiere on Max, but a series of cost-cutting measures by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav saw it offloaded - along with a handful of other animated projects, including Merry Little Batman - to Amazon.

The opening of the newest chapter in the Batman mythos is right around the corner. DC fans are thrilled to find out who's been cast on Prime's Batman: Caped Crusader. Well, you're in luck. The streamer just confirmed who's voicing our favorite billionaire/vigilante.
Kevin Conroy is Not in Caped Crusader But Was Planned To Be
The late, great Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy was reportedly returning for a role in Batman: Caped Crusader, but not as the titular Dark Knight Hero, which Bruce Timm previously debunked.
It remains to be seen what Timm had in store for Conroy back then, but either way, Prime recently announced who the new actor will fill in the latter's shoes in the upcoming series.

The final season may have concluded in 2022 but the BBC isn’t letting go of legal drama The Split just yet, with a Barcelona-set special greenlit three months after a Manchester spin off.
Abi Morgan’s show ended in 2022 after three seasons but the BBC has since ordered The Split Up in February and is now heading to Spain for a two-parter with Nicola Walker’s Hannah and family, while Toby Stephens is set to join the cast.
In the special, the Defoes are back and have gathered for a beautiful wedding at a vineyard, nestled in Catalonia’s wine region. Set across one sun soaked weekend, The Split special will encompass break-ups, reunions and plenty romance.
Stephens will play new character Archie Moore, while most of the original cast are set to return.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” star Lucy Boynton smoulders as 1950s nightclub owner Ruth Ellis in a new image from upcoming ITV drama “A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story.”
Ellis was the last woman to be hanged in Britain in 1955 after she was convicted of shooting dead her lover, racing driver David Blakely.
Boynton is joined by Toby Jones (“Tetris”), Laurie Davidson (“Cats”) and Mark Stanley (“Trigger Point”) in the four-part series, which promises to expose the British obsession with class, sex and death.
“Set in 1955 in the glamorous and intoxicating world of London club-land, Ruth found huge acclaim, aged 28, as the capital’s youngest club manager,” reads the logline. “But her success soon unraveled as she became entwined in an abusive relationship with racing driver David Blakely. On trial for his murder, Ruth was condemned to hang by a system which judged her for far more than her crime.”

Forget all about Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess, Rafe Spall and co. That lot are yesterday’s chip paper. The stars of the 2011 One Day film have been superseded by this new bunch, now bringing David Nicholls’ hit 2009 romance novel to life for a new 14-episodes Netflix series. Adapted by Wild Rose and Three Girls screenwriter Nicole Taylor, One Day is a bittersweet love story set across two decades. It’s the story of Emma and Dexter, whose first night together at their university graduation sparks almost two decades of will-they-won’t-they romance.

In a couple of months, it will be a year since we lost the late, great Lance Reddick. His passing was a shock as it came so suddenly, and at a time where he had incredible works on the horizon. We haven’t even seen the last of his work as he’s due to make a cameo appearance as his John Wick character, Charon, in the spin-off Ballerina. He can recently be seen in the Disney+ show, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, where he fittingly portrays the Greek God, Zeus. Reddick would finish filming the first season just before his untimely passing.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians would finally premiere on Disney+, and the season finale featured an epic conflict with Zeus on the top of Mount Olympus. Deadline reports that the show would pay tribute to the late actor by closing out with a title card that read,...
