Bob Odenkirk Returns to the Small Screen in Teaser for New Series Lucky Hank: Watch
Less than a year after Better Call Saul wrapped up a six-season run, Bob Odenkirk is poised to return to television with Lucky Hank, a new series premiering on AMC in March that just released its first teaser. Watch the clip below. Based on Richard Russo’s novel Straight Man, Lucky Hank stars Odenkirk as William Henry Deveraux Jr., chairman of the English department at an underfunded Pennsylvania college. In the teaser — a 15-second close-up of Odenkirk’s weathered, bearded face — the actor admits, “I’ve always been a difficult man. I specialize in minor strife and insignificant irritation.” That strife likely comes from Ralston College’s President Dickie Pope (Kyle MacLachlan), who The Hollywood Reporter describes as “a nemesis to Hank and the other prof...
Another Show Bites The Dust: AMC Networks Scraps Michael B. Jordan’s ’61st Street’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: AMC Networks / 61st Street Watching television continues to be a complicated mess because a show you invest in can quickly end up on the chopping block. 61st Street is one of those shows. Spotted on Deadline via Variety, AMC Networks announced it would not renew Michael B. Jordan’s and Peter Moffat’s drama 61st Street, starring Courtney B. Vance, Aunjanue Ellis, and Tosin Cole, along with Invitation to a Bonfire. Both shows have become the latest victims of Hollywood’s mission to cut costs. 61st Street’s cancellation hurts because it will leave its fans hanging the most. Per Deadline: AMC Networks has scrapped both shows after revealing that it would take around $400M of content write downs. They form part of the company’s one-time write-off last yea...
Harlem Festival Of Culture Enters Partnership With AMC Networks
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Rudi Von Briel / Getty The Harlem Festival of Culture has entered a new partnership with AMC Networks as they prepare for the launching of their festival next year. AMC Networks announced their commitment with the HFC, which formed in April of this year as a contemporary edition of the Harlem Cultural Festival of 1969, which was chronicled in the Academy Award-winning documentary produced by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of The Roots, Summer of Soul(…Or When the Revolution Could Not be Televised). The aim of the new group is to revitalize and celebrate Harlem much as the original festival did. The multi-year deal will see AMC Networks help the HFC put on the inaugural multi-day festival in the summer of 2023, and that will be a tribute to the original festiv...
Max Headroom Reboot Headed to AMC
Max Headroom is getting a reboot with a new series in the works for AMC. According to a report by Deadline, the ’80s sci-fi series about the world’s “first computer-generated TV presenter” is being produced by Elijah Wood and Noah Young under their SpectreVision and All3Media banners. Christopher Cantwell, who previously helmed AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire, has signed on to both run and write for the show. Best of all, though, is the news that original star Matt Frewer will return to step back into the role of Max Headroom. While the series ran for just two seasons from 1987 to 1988 on ABC, the character became a cult favorite. He served as the global spokesperson for the very ’80s New Coke, hosted his eponymous music video countdown show, and was even featured on the cover of Newsweek. Relat...
Interview With the Vampire: Sink Your Teeth Into New Trailer for AMC’s Anne Rice Adaptation: Watch
This fall, AMC will resurrect Anne Rice’s iconic Interview with the Vampire for television, all part of the network’s plan to turn Rice’s works into an expansive new franchise. As seen in the Comic-Con trailer below, the new series is based on the 1976 novel about the life of vampires who exist among unknowing humans, updated for the present day. Not to be mistaken for the 1994 film starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, the series adaptation of Interview With the Vampire features Game of Thrones’ Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac and Sam Reid as Lestat de Loincourt. The ebb and flow of their relationship is a key aspect of the show created by Rolin Jones, which was shot in Rice’s hometown of New Orleans. Eric Bogosian, Chris Stack, and Bailey Bass are also featured in the cast. While A...
AMC Entertainment Buys Stake in Literal Gold Mine One Year After Flirting with Bankruptcy
With the energy of a person who becomes newly engaged two days after leaving rehab, AMC Entertainment — a company that nearly went bankrupt less than a year ago — has spent $27.9 million on the troubled gold and silver mining company Hycroft, despite having zero experience in the excavation of rare metals. The Hycroft Mining Holding Corp. owns the 71,000-acre Hycroft Mine in northern Nevada, which is thought to possess “some 15 million ounces of gold deposits and some 600 million ounces of silver deposit,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. AMC Entertainment has purchased a 22% stake in the company, and Adam Aron, the chairman and CEO, sounds positively manic about the decision. “To state the obvious, one would not normally think that a movie theater company’s core c...
Giancarlo Esposito to Star in AMC Remake of BBC Series The Driver
Giancarlo Esposito is knocking once again on AMCs’s door, starring and executive producing the network’s upcoming BBC remake of The Driver. It will mark their third collaboration following the Emmy-stashing crime drama Breaking Bad and its ongoing prequel Better Call Saul. The show was announced by AMC Networks on March 8th with a six-episode first season that will retool the 2014 BBC miniseries, which starred fellow AMC alum David Morrissey (The Walking Dead). The American version will place Esposito in a new type of face-off as the taxi-driving protagonist Vince, who “agrees to chauffer a New Orleans-based, Zimbabwean gangster notorious for exploiting undocumented immigrants at the U.S. southern ports.” Though the plot seems to be rife with compromising moral quandaries, Esposito’s worki...

We’re excited for them to come walk with us,” executive producer Scott M. Gimple said in a statement. Showrunner Channing Po...
Better Call Saul Animated Spinoff Slippin’ Jimmy Unveils Preview Clip: Watch
The world of Better Call Saul just got a little more colorful. AMC has shared a preview clip of Slippin’ Jimmy, a new animated spinoff series that follows Jimmy McGill years before he started calling himself Saul Goodman. Slippin’ Jimmy will have a six-episode run sometime this spring. Produced by Rick and Morty animators Starburn Industries, and written by BCS veterans Ariel Levine and Kathleen Williams-Foshee, the show will be a highly stylized take on Jimmy’s youth in Chicago, Illinois. Chi McBride, Laraine Newman, and Sean Giambrone are among the vocal talent. The overall aesthetic is inspired by 1970s cartoons, but each episode will also be an ode to a classic movie genre, from the silent slapstick of Buster Keaton to the atmospheric horror of&n...
