Exclusive: Big Beach, the production company behind Starz’s Vida and Facebook’s Sorry For Your Loss, has landed television rights to Alexandra Tanner’s debut novel Worry.
Worry follows two siblings-turned-roommates, one a 28-year-old media employee, navigating an absurd world on the verge of calamity. The book has been described as a “Seinfeldian” novel of existentialism and sisterhood.
Lesley Arfin, co-creator of Netflix comedy series Love, which starred Gillian Jacobs, has signed on to write the pilot episode alongside Tanner.
Worry was released last week by Scribner and was described by the New York Times as a “fabulous comic novel of young adult angst.”
Set in 2019, it follows 28-year-old Jules Gold — anxious, artistically frustrated, and internet-obsessed — who has been living alone in the apartment she once shared with the man she thought she’d marry when her younger sister Poppy comes to crash. Indefinitely. Poppy, a year and a...

HBO has renewed skater drama “Betty” for a second season.
The news comes less than two weeks after the show, which is based on Crystal Moselle’s critically acclaimed feature “Skate Kitchen,” concluded its six-episode, half-hour first season. News of the pick up was announced by Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of HBO Programming.
“It’s been a joy to ride through the streets of NYC with the inspiring women of ‘Betty,’ and we’re grateful to them and to Crystal for sharing their stories and friendships with us,” said Gravitt. “We can’t wait to watch where our beloved Bettys go next.”
Starring Dede Lovelace, Moonbear, Nina Moran, Ajani Russell, and Rachelle Vinberg, who all starred in the original film, “Betty” follows a diverse group of young women navigating their lives through the predominantly male-oriented world of skateboarding, set against the backdrop of New York City.

Since making an astonishing debut with 2015’s riveting hybrid documentary “The Wolfpack,” filmmaker Crystal Moselle has continued to push the envelope with her distinctive style, honing her singular cinematic voice while expanding her artistic palette. Her luminous narrative feature debut, “Skate Kitchen” (2018), represented a confident transition from inventive documentary style into a compelling but loosely constructed narrative. For her evocative portrait of an all-girl skate crew, Moselle cast first-time actors primarily on visual style and charisma, then shaped the story around them. The result was one of the best movies in recent memory to portray contemporary, young, adult women with the style and tenacity they deserve.
Shrewdly building on the solid foundation Moselle laid in “Skate Kitchen,” HBO has given the filmmaker a six-episode, half-hour series to further explore her unique cast of characters.

“Betty” looks like how being a teenager feels. Shot during a vibrant New York City summer, the show zips alongside its characters as they weave through traffic, across parks, over bridges on their skateboards. When it slows down, it’s to take in the view, have a laugh, shoot the shit. But within minutes it’s inevitably off and running into the blinking sun again, winding down the city streets with such visceral verve that you can practically feel the wind whipping through your own hair through the screen.
From director Crystal Moselle, the new HBO series introduces a group of freewheeling teens who want nothing more than to just skate on their own terms — a surprisingly tall order thanks to the many skeptical dudes surrounding them. Moselle enlists several of the same skaters slash actors she did for “Skate Kitchen,” her critically acclaimed film about a pack of determined,...

Although “The L Word: Generation Q” may have tried desperately to speak to a “new generation” of queer women and non-binary folks, fresher creative voices quickly rose to the top in its place. (Though people still watched). Showtime’s “Work in Progress” was the best queer comedy of the year, Netflix’s “Feel Good” was an unexpected delight, and “Vida” is returning just in time for queer audiences to catch up on the best show about queer women of color on TV. Yet another contender released a promising first trailer today: “Betty” is a stylish and youthful portrait of Brooklyn teen skaters that already appears extremely queer.
The six-part half-hour arrives on HBO from filmmaker Crystal Moselle, who quickly made waves in 2015 with her her riveting documentary hybrid “The Wolfpack.” “Betty” is adapted from her second feature, the similarly hybridized “Skate Kitchen,” which followed a group of teenage girl skaters in New York City.

HBO has dropped the official trailer for “Betty,” an upcoming series that will center on a group of skateboard-loving women as they navigate life in New York City after the events of “Skate Kitchen.”
“Betty” serves as a spinoff to the 2018 film “Skate Kitchen” and will focus on the group’s efforts to stand out in New York City’s male-dominated world of skateboarding. Series stars include Dede Lovelace, Moonbear, Nina Moran, Ajani Russell, and Rachelle Vinberg, who all starred in “Skate Kitchen.” The series, which consists of six half-hour episodes, will premiere on May 1.
Per HBO, the characters are summarized as: “Opinionated and loyal, Janay (Lovelace) is strong willed and stubborn in ways that both help and hurt her. Honeybear (Moonbear) is a quiet storm. Her flagrant style is a ruse; an armor she wears to hide her emotional struggles. Kirt (Moran) is a lover (to the ladies), a...

In real life, the end of a love story is rarely a happy one, which is why perhaps it’s good that Netflix’s “Love” has chosen to wrap things up. The third season of the series created by Paul Rust, Lesley Arfin, and Judd Apatow has always had a grounded, near-cynical take on what it means to seek out romance in modern-day Los Angeles. But the series has always been, like many Apatow joints, easy to consume even when things get brutally awkward, thanks to the pervasive tone of an indie romantic comedy (something that may be the result of its director roster including Joe Swanberg, Lynn Shelton, and Michael Showalter).
Of course, the difference between “Love” and your typical indie rom-com is that with 34 half-hour episodes as opposed to an hour and a half of runtime to fill, the story of Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Rust), two...

The Winter Olympics is over, film awards season is drawing to a close, and it’s time to focus once again on TV premieres. March is a busy month for Netflix, and here are seven new and returning shows to keep an eye out for.
1. “Marvel’s Jessica Jones” Season 2 (available March 8)

The story of Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Paul Rust) is finally coming to an end. The two have been on an up-and-down ride throughout the first two seasons of “Love,” their relationship serving as an honest and down-to-earth look at dating and all its complications. Season 2 left them in a situation that was equally promising and uncertain, and only time will tell whether the two will last as a couple — because in Season 3, their lives are as chaotic as ever.
Relationship status aside, the laughs are sure to continue in the final season. “I am really excited about the third season,” co-creator Judd Apatow said in a December 2017 press release from Netflix. “I think it is our sweetest, funniest season and ends our story in a beautiful way.”

What’s it like when Judd Apatow asks to put your soul on screen? It’s a question that gets a laugh from his series stars and creators.
“I’d already given mine away,” Gillian Jacobs said.
Paul Rust agreed: “Soon as you step in L.A., man.”
Like a lot of jokes in a typical Apatow project, it’s funny because while it might not be true, it still feels real.

Love is one of Netflix’s finest original comedies. It’s certainly right up there with Master Of None and BoJack Horseman in the category of comedies that aren’t afraid to tackle tough topics.

The show’s vague title means that Love may have flown under your radar, but it also comes with benefits. Due to the broad scope of its moniker, Love is a show without a gimmick, allowing the writing team to go down any path they wish to develop their characters, mine for laughs and tug on our heartstrings. It succeeds regularly on all three counts.

Netflix’s “Love” may be one of the hardest TV series titles to search on Google. But the folks behind the show still like the title.
“It’s like how I love when I see a diner and it’s just called ‘Food,'” said executive producer Judd Apatow, speaking to IndieWire with stars Paul Rust and Gillian Jacobs. “No need to come up with a fancy name.”
“You can’t get angry,” Rust added. “They’re like, ‘Hey, we promised food.'”
In a similar fashion, with the title “Love,” Apatow, Rust, and co-creator Lesley Arfin have promised to depict that most complex yet most simple of human emotions on the screen. But they don’t promise a happy ending, which makes the quasi-comedy at times a nerve-wracking experience. Perhaps that’s because the show remains firmly grounded in the real world, where happy endings are rarely a guarantee.

If you don't already have your weekend planned, make room for Love.
Love Season 2 premieres on Netflix this weekend and continues the unsettling look into modern day relationships.
Paul Rust and Gillian Jacobs star as Gus Cruikshank and Mickey Jacobs, a couple who fell into each other's lives on during the first season and inexplicably fall in love.
Rust and Jacobs are so natural in their roles it's easy to forget they're actors playing parts, and that's a huge compliment. Love Season 2 continues to bring us further into their world and we feel closer to Mickey and Gus as a result.
As we settle into the second season, Gus still seems sweet, kind and eager to please Mickey. He might be a little bit much of all of those things and in combinations that don't settle well with what Mickey needs.

1. “Grace and Frankie” Season 3 (available March 24)
Why Should I Watch It? If Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda aren’t reason enough — not to mention the rest of the cast, including Martin Sheen, Sam Waterston, and June Diane Raphael — then know this: “Grace and Frankie” is a living embodiment of progressive beliefs. Not only does the show cover an array of taboo topics from the dramatic weight of right-to-die debates to casually breaking cultural stigmas surrounding post-menopause sex, but “Grace and Frankie” consists of half-hour episodes that don’t adhere to comedic or dramatic formulas. The tone is unique to the series, respecting the characters and building to moments of great power and great humor. So give it a try.
Best Episode: We haven’t seen Season 3 yet — Netflix, please send screeners at your earliest convenience — so we’ll simply say this: Midway through last year, when debating the best TV...

Judd Apatow is no stranger to success -- or the work it takes to get to where he’s at today.
After getting his start on TV as a co-creator and co-producer of The Ben Stiller Show and, later, honing his craft as a writer on The Larry Sanders Show, he wrote and produced Freaks and Geeks as well as creating Undeclared. Though they only lasted one season each, both shows would go on to become cult classics while Apatow largely shifted his focus to film. It was there he found box office success with Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, followed by an era of bromantic comedies with The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad.
“I didn’t really plan to do TV,” Apatow tells Et on a snowy day in January -- the first of two conversations that coincidentally happened on snow-filled days during a surprisingly mild winter in New York City. While excited...

Rest assured, everyone: “The Oa” will continue. The Netflix original series starring Brit Marling — who co-created the show with director Zal Batmanglij — has been renewed for Season 2 (or “Part II,” as it’s officially billed). Netflix announced more episodes are on the way Wednesday morning, but it did not provide an exact number or timeframe for release.
During a press event held in New York, Batmanglij revealed he and Marling have yet to begin working on the next season. However, he was very excited about returning to Netflix for a new installment, especially in comparison to more traditional independent distribution.
“The art house is an elitist idea,” Batmanglij said. “The idea of premiering a film at a festival and only a small group of people see it […] Netflix is the exact opposite, it’s so egalitarian. I’ve done both, and as a filmmaker, Netflix is so exciting to me.

Since its series premiere last year, Love remains one of Netflix’s most under-appreciated original programs. The freshly energized comedy show is witty, wild, self-contained and usually always funny, and while its misanthrope protagonists aren’t always the most, well, lovable characters, they’re constantly interesting and quietly endearing in their self-inflicted problems. The streaming site stayed mum about its promised second season for a while, but now we know when it’ll return – March 10, as seen in this breezy new teaser trailer.
In just 30 seconds, Love leaves a litany of questions. What’s the deal with that little girl and the house fire? Is that a scene-within-a-scene from Witchita, the series-within-the-series?

Riz Ahmed, “The Night Of”
The British actor had a small role in “Nightcrawler” on the big screen, but he makes a huge splash on HBO’s anthology drama as Nasir “Naz” Khan, the young man whose night out with a captivating woman goes awry when he discovers her stabbed and he’s accused of her murder. Ahmed is hypnotic in his stillness and silences, but one look at his expressive eyes, and it’s clear that Naz is taking everything in as he learns to navigate the world of prison politics and legal strategy. One can’t help to root for him because he’s clearly innocent… isn’t he? Therein lies Ahmed’s genius, his ability to play both sides so that the viewer oscillates between sympathy and dread that we have gotten it wrong. We can’t wait to see what he does in the Star Wars universe for “Rogue One.
