Despite not airing a single episode yet, AMC has The Audacity to return to Silicon Valley for more drama. Just days before its premiere at SXSW on March 14 and just over a month before its debut on AMC and AMC+ on April 12, the new series starring Billy Magnussen has received a rare early Season 2 order, reflecting a ton of confidence in what series creator Jonathan Glatzer has in store. Preliminary casting is already underway, too, with the sophomore outing also set to have eight episodes. With work ramping up fast, the goal appears to be to get new seasons of the satire out as fast as possible.

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Pablo Escobar Gaviria has almost become a mythical figure thanks to the vast media coverage of him since his death in 1993. Much has been explored about the infamous Colombian narco on many scripted shows, movies, and documentaries. It seems that everything to be said about Escobar has been exhausted, but Hulu‘s new series, Dear Killer Nannies, has another angle to explore. Collider can exclusively unveil the trailer for the series premiering on April 1. Dear Killer Nannies is told from the perspective of Escobar’s son, Juan Pablo “Juanmpi” Escobar, the surviving son of the drug kingpin.

Dear Killer Nannies explores Juan Pablo’s perspective as a young child and a teenager, exposed to danger as his father’s notoriety grows. This danger is shown through what his father called “nannies,” a group of men tasked with looking after the child in addition to their other, more nefarious duties. The character is played by three different actors: Janer Villareal (teenage Juan Pablo), Miguel Tamayo (young Juan Pablo), Miguel Ángel García (young Juan Pablo). And for the role of Escobar, the series enlists comedy and acting legend John Leguizamo. Other cast members include Laura Rodríguez (Victoria Henao), Juanita Molina (Angie), Julián Zuluaga (Rodri), Rafael Zea (El Dorado), Danharry Colorado (Tina), Julián Bustamante (Yerry), Julián Díaz (Lagaña), Melanie Dell’ Olmo (Andrea Ochoa), Andrés Delgado (Kiss), and Carmen Electra (Margarete).

Juan Pablo Escobar Tells the Story of His ‘Dear Killer Nannies’

The trailer above previews the events in the series, narrated by Juan Pablo. While he acknowledges that a lot has been said about his father, his childhood in such a carefree world was different, and his nannies are the perfect examples. Other children play silly games with their nannies, but for Juan Pablo, his nannies were more like assassins who babysat as a side gig. As a result, Juan Pablo was exposed to various disturbing things that a child should never have experienced, including torture and gruesome murders. These were a precursor to what was coming.

Even though his mother tries to advocate for him, she can’t hold a candle to the powerful Pablo Escobar, whose empire’s growth shows no signs of slowing down. As he becomes a larger target, Juan Pablo is forced into his father’s war. As a child, living life on the edge both excited and scared Juan Pablo. He admired his father just as much as he feared him. Juan Pablo, now going by Sebastián Marroquín, has been on the front lines of correcting the media’s “heroic” portrayals of his father. Maybe with Dear Killer Nannies, viewers will see the legendary figure through his eyes.

Dear Killer Nannies premieres on April 1 on Hulu. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and watch our exclusive trailer above.

Inside The Next LOTR Movie

Today is a great day for Ted fans, who were treated to the arrival of all eight episodes from the highly anticipated second season. Spun off the popular series of movies led by Mark Wahlberg, Peacock premiered the first season of Ted back in 2024, and it was an instant hit. Naturally, the streamer happily greenlit the series for another season, and after two years of waiting, Ted Season 2 is finally here. The show is a prequel set years before the events of Wahlberg’s films, and it stars writer and creator Seth MacFarlane as Ted, along with Max Burkholder as a young John Bennett.

Fans around the world are already sharing their early reactions to Ted Season 2, especially to the third episode, which features an unexpected Dungeons and Dragons crossover. Collider’s Perri Nemiroff recently participated in a roundtable interview with creator Seth MacFarlane and stars Max Burkholder and Giorgia Whigham, and she asked how the team even decided to put something like that in the show and how they executed the idea. MacFarlane stepped up to the plate first with his answer:

“Jesus Christ. Look, we had done a lot of shows that had taken place in the house, in the school, in this world that we had created. Only in Season 2 could you do something like this. I’m a huge fan of practical sets. I love walking around in cave sets, in forest sets. The forest in that episode was built entirely on a sound stage. The caves were built on a sound stage, the temple.”

Whigham then asked how many tons of dirt it took to make it all happen, and Burkholder said, “They flew in special dirt to coat the floor of the sound stage, which was wild to find out.” The two then went back and forth about whether the dirt was from Siberia or Michigan, and while they struggled to settle on one place, they collectively agreed that it was a massive undertaking to get everything together in one place to make it happen.

MacFarlane has confirmed that Wahlberg has already been in the studio recording voice lines for the animated show, though it’s still unclear at this time when it will be released. Amanda Seyfried will also return in the animated series.

The track record for American remakes of British original series is extremely hit or miss. For every series like The Office, there’s a Viva Laughlin, a dreadful remake of British miniseries Blackpool, that lasted all of two episodes. But 2023’s Accused, developed by Howard Gordon from the BBC One series that ran from 2010 to 2012, was a great series that drew in 11.3 million viewers, but was unfairly brought to an end after only two seasons. Thankfully, it’s free on Tubi.

What Is the Crime Drama ‘Accused’ About?

Premiering on January 22, 2023, the debut of Accused, airing after NFL on Fox, scored a touchdown of its own with 11.3 million viewers over three days, with 8.4 million watching it the same day. Its premise was unique: Accused is a crime drama, but instead of the tried-and-true crime of the week format, solved by the same detectives and police officers every episode, the series is in an anthology format. Every week opens with a whole new set of actors, each with a different story to tell.

The anthology aspect of the series isn’t all that unique unto itself, but the way each episode is structured definitely is. Each episode begins near the end of the story, in or around the courtroom where a defendant stands on trial. However, we have no idea who they are, what they’re on trial for, or, more importantly, how they even got there. Following the introduction, the story goes back to the beginning, tracing the journey from where it started to where it ends up, and only then do we learn their fate. Accused has little interest in the procedure — which serves as the basis for most crime dramas — but instead focuses on the human story behind the accused.

FOX’s ‘Accused’ Challenged Viewers in the Best Way

Accused‘s method of storytelling makes it so that the viewer is no longer passive, but rather is engaged as both judge and jury. As the tale unfolds and more is revealed, those watching get a first-hand view of the circumstances, motivations, and choices that lead to the arrest of the defendant. Does the fact that one understands why the defendant comes to be in court change whether they should be found guilty? It’s a luxury that is rarely afforded to the accused in typical police procedurals, and even if it is, the time devoted to exploring their motivations is secondary to showcasing how the leads put the pieces together to catch them.

In the Accused, these cases are never black and white. These are normal people — schoolteachers, limo drivers, teenagers — who often face contemporary moral dilemmas that make the easy choice difficult. The premiere episode is a perfect example. In it, neurosurgeon Scott Harmon (Michael Chiklis) is seen walking through a throng of people as cries of “Murderer!” ring out. Then, there’s a flashback to Scott’s son being suspended for threatening another student. Scott fears that this might just be the beginning, and is afraid his son may be planning a school shooting after finding a diary riddled with dark thoughts and revenge fantasies. To prevent it, Scott takes his son out for a camping trip, where he seriously considers pushing him off a cliff and staging it as an accident.

FOX’s Most Addictive Crime Thriller Gets First Season 3 Update in Over a Year

Will the network greenlight another season of this crime thriller?

Accused assembled an impressive cast, with names like Rachel Bilson, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Felicity Huffman, and William H. Macy taking on challenging defendant roles. Michael Chiklis, Billy Porter, and Marlee Matlin directed episodes, with Season 1’s “Ava’s Story” serving as Matlin’s directorial debut. But while ratings were high for Season 1, Season 2 didn’t reach the same level of acclaim, and paired with having lost the momentum of that first season due to the writer’s strike of 2023 (forcing a year-and-a-half gap), the series was cancelled.

That cancellation, however, was simply too soon. The second season, which was delayed by a week for the vice-president debate, was only given eight episodes to try and win back its viewers, a tall order for any series after an almost two-year hiatus. Although it’s odd to say for a series that premiered only three years ago, Accused, arguably, was ahead of its time, especially for network television where safe and formulaic rules the roost. However, FOX Television president Michael Thorn did suggest that there could be an opportunity to “eventize a return” down the line. Whether or not that becomes a reality remains to be seen, but thankfully, this unique and powerful series is available to stream for free on Tubi.

For almost a century, the Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, have celebrated and honored some of the greatest artists in film of our time. Even though the future looks bright for women and minorities, it is no secret that film endures as a male-dominated industry and that there is a lack of recognition of many female actors and artists’ talents. Despite these circumstances, exceptionally talented women such as Edith Head, Katharine Hepburn, and Meryl Streep have never failed to put their abilities to practice and were deservedly critically acclaimed for it in return.

Although there has been a positive shift in how the Academy recognizes and honors female artists, a bigger, more poignant change is yet to come. Especially considering that the world is filled with bold, fierce, and talented women waiting for an opportunity to showcase their skills and abilities. But who is the actress with the most Oscars? From Cate Blanchett to Ingrid Bergman, these are the talented women who have won the most Academy Awards so far.

Bette Davis

2 Oscars

Bette Davis reigns as one of the greatest actresses of all time and is known for her poised and unsympathetic roles in classics such as Now, Voyager, The Letter, and All About Eve. Davis initially established herself as a prominent stage star before transitioning into movies, becoming one of Warner Bros.’s most popular and highest-paid stars during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Throughout Davis’ extensive career, she earned ten Academy Award nominations, making her the first person in Oscar history to ever receive that many nominations for acting. In 1935, Davis won her first Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her performance in Dangerous. Her luck followed her into the following year, earning her second Oscar for Best Actress for Jezebel, which many consider to be one of her greatest performances.

Vivien Leigh

2 Oscars

British actress Vivien Leigh took America by storm with her iconic performance as the headstrong Southern Belle, Scarlet O’Hara, in the cinematic classic, Gone With the Wind, which earned Leigh her first Oscar for Best Actress. Even though Leigh had a very successful film career, she had an even more impressive career on the stage and was a remarkable talent with incredible range.

After claiming her first Oscar, Leigh starred in the film adaptation of Tennessee William‘s hit Broadway play, A Streetcar Named Desire, alongside Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, and Kim Hunter. A Streetcar Named Desire received a staggering number of Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Picture, and earned Leigh her second Oscar for Best Actress for her remarkable performance.

Hilary Swank first gained audiences’ attention with her incredible performance in the 1999 biopic, Boys Don’t Cry, which earned her her first Academy Award for Best Actress. After the immense success of Boys Don’t Cry, Swank became one of the most popular actresses during the 2000s and appeared in an array of various roles, demonstrating her talent and ability to move into vastly different characters.

In 2007, Swank starred in Clint Eastwood‘s epic sports drama, Millon Dollar Baby, as an ambitious boxer, Maggie Fitzgerald, who is trained by a former trainer who is played by Eastwood. The film was a triumph for both Swank and Eastwood, earning praise from audiences and critics across the globe. Million Dollar Baby received several Oscar nominations and went on to win Swank her second Oscar for Best Actress.

Jessica Lange

2 Oscars

During the 1980s, Jessica Lange was one of the most popular leading ladies on the silver screen and gained a reputation for taking on a series of complex and intriguing roles. Lange made her feature debut in the 1976 remake King Kong and was an instant blonde bombshell, earning a Golden Globe nomination for Best New Star of the Year.

Several years later, Lange starred as a charming soap opera star in the romantic comedy, Tootsie, with Dustin Hoffman playing her character’s love interest…well, sort of. Lange won the hearts of critics and audiences with her sensational performance in Tootsie, which earned the actress her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. By the 1990s, Lange was a household name and earned her second Oscar for Best Actress for her compelling performance as a bipolar housewife in the 1994 film Blue Sky.

11

Olivia de Havilland

2 Oscars

Olivia de Havilland was a widely successful leading lady of classic Hollywood who was initially known for her heart-of-gold love interests and girl-next-door roles before moving into more dramatic and sinister roles that made her a unique screen star. De Havilland first gained cinematic notoriety for her performance as the kind Melanie Hamilton in Gone With the Wind, but her career took off thanks to her series of films with Errol Flynn, including Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood.

In 1946, de Havilland starred in the romantic drama, To Each His Own, which went on to earn the actress her first Academy Award for Best Actress. Not too long after her first win, she starred in another classic romantic drama, The Heiress, with Montgomery Clift and Miriam Hopkins. While the film itself was a major success, de Havilland’s performance was the heart and soul of the film and rightfully earned her a second Academy Award for Best Actress.

10

Cate Blanchett

2 Oscars

Cate Blanchett is an Australian actor who has made a name for herself because of her roles in many award-winning films, including The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Don’t Look Up, and more. Though she received her first Oscar nomination for her role as Queen Elizabeth I in 1998’s Elizabeth, she did not win an Oscar until 2005 for her supporting role in The Aviator. Blanchett won her second Oscar for Best Actress in the Woody Allen comedy-drama film Blue Jasmine in 2014.

Blanchett has also received Oscar nominations for Notes on a Scandal, I’m Not There, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and Carol. Her role in the film Tár has also highlighted Blanchett’s astounding talents and garnered her much acclaim. No doubt, with Cate Blanchett’s iconic filmography, the Australian star is at the top of her game.

Jane Fonda

2 Oscars

For over six decades, actor and humanitarian Jane Fonda has starred in many prominent movies and television shows, such as Barefoot in the Park, 9 to 5, Barbarella, and Grace and Frankie. Fonda has undoubtedly established herself as one of the most acclaimed actors of her generation. Throughout her career, she has received an impressive seven Oscar nominations for the films They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (it earned the most Oscar noms without one for Best Picture), Klute, Julia, Coming Home, The China Syndrome, On Golden Pond, and The Morning After. Out of the seven nominations, Fonda has won two Oscars for Klute and Coming Home in the Best Actress category.

Before acting, Jane Fonda was also a fashion model and even made two appearances on the cover of Vogue. Furthermore, she is an outspoken activist for the Black Lives Matter movement, the environmental crisis, and, most famously, for opposing and wanting to end the Vietnam War, which stirred controversy in the United States.

8

Maggie Smith

2 Oscars

Having appeared in over sixty films, seventy plays, and winning two Academy Awards, a Tony Award, and four Primetime Emmy Awards, Dame Maggie Smith has achieved the “Triple Crown of Acting” title. She is hailed as one of Britain’s most prolific actors and was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990 for her contribution to the arts. Dame Smith’s first Oscar win came in 1969 for her breakout role as an eccentric teacher in an all-girls school in Edinburgh for the film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

Although she would go on to star in many more notable films after the film, it took another nine years before the star’s second Oscar win for California Suite in 1978, where she, ironically, played the role of a British actor, Diane Barrie, who was a first-time nominee for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

7

Elizabeth Taylor

2 Oscars

Since Elizabeth Taylor’s acting career began in the 1940s, she quickly rose to fame as one of the most prominent faces of Hollywood by the 1950s and became the world’s highest-paid movie star by the 1960s. It turned out that the 60s would become the greatest decade of her career as Taylor went on to win two Oscars for her roles in Butterfield 8 in 1961 and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in 1967.

Besides acting, Taylor was also an advocate for humanitarian causes, with a particular focus on HIV/AIDS. In 1993, she was also awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award of AMPAS (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences), an award given to an individual for “outstanding contributions to humanitarian causes” for her commitment to fighting against HIV/AIDS. To this day, Elizabeth Taylor remains a beloved name in the film industry, and understandably so.

6

Thelma Schoonmaker

3 Oscars

Although actors and directors get the most credit and recognition for their work, a film would not succeed without the involvement of other departments, such as costume design, lighting, cinematography, production assistants, editors, and more. And as such, they should be celebrated and recognized for the work they have achieved.

The male-dominated film industry means that women have to fight harder to earn a position against other men. On this occasion, female film editor Thelma Schoonmaker did. The gifted Schoonmaker has won three out of eight Best Film Editing Oscar nominations for Raging Bull, The Aviator, and The Departed, the most nods for the category in the Academy’s history. Not only that, only a handful of female editors have been nominated for the “Best Film Editing” category, let alone win an Oscar.
