Celebrity Status – New Shows, Star Wars, Bridgerton, And Jamie Foxx
For Thursday, May 4th:
As the TV writers strike continues, NBC is covering two weeks of salary for its late night staffers, and then hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers will take care of a third week. Some of the daytime talk shows will continue. Whoopi Goldberg says The View will go ahead… I wonder if any actors/hosts will walk out in support of the writers?
Meanwhile, there will still be some new shows…for a while at least. May the fourth be with you for the series debuts of ‘Star Wars: Visions’ and ‘Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures’, both on Disney+ today.
The Bridgerton prequel ‘Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story’ comes to Netflix today… and Pete Davidson’s Bupkis is on Peacock (Showcase and Stack TV in Canada.) Edie Falco and Joe Pesci costar.
And on Apple TV+ tomorrow, it’s the premiere of ‘Silo’, which follows the last 10,000 people on earth who live in their mile-deep homes to protect them from the deadly world above. It stars Rebecca Ferguson, Common, Rashida Jones, Tim Robbins and David Oyelowo.
In other TV news, Dancing With The Stars is set to return to ABC for season 32, but the show will continue to stream live on Disney+ as well.
‘Succession’ will end with a feature-length series finale. The Roy saga will reach its bitter conclusion on May 28th with a 90-minute episode.
In a new Instagram post, Jamie Foxx thanked fans “for all the love” following his recent medical scare. Still no real details on his condition, but he’s reportedly still in hospital.
