Criminal dramas about defenders of justice were once popular only in the procedural format, but the industry developed by leaps and bounds. Over time, we began to receive full-fledged dramas at the level of feature films with the best actors of our time.
One of the most popular projects in this genre was White Collar – an exciting series about a sophisticated, elegant, handsome intellectual, formerly one of the elite of the criminal world, and now an FBI consultant, Neal Caffrey, who, together with Agent Peter Burke, solves the most complex crimes in New York.
However, while White Collar and Suits received its fair share of love from the viewers, another project remained in the shadows completely undeservedly.

A royal biographer claims Prince Harry has changed dramatically since marrying Meghan Markle in 2018. She claims he has become “demanding” and “angry” over the past six years. And Angela Levin should know, having worked closely with the Duke of Sussex for her book, Harry: Conversations with the Prince prior to his wedding day.

Though the Duchess of Sussex, 42, has moved on from acting, there was once a time when it was her world and she did her best, as most other young talent, to grow in her role.
According to a high-powered Hollywood exec, she wasn’t afraid to speak out on things that will help drive her career forward.
See what it’s like to know Meghan Markle the actress long before she became Meghan Markle the Duchess.
Meghan Markle’s Work Ethics Praised By Top NBC Exec
Even though “Suits” will be coming back without Meghan Markle, let’s take a moment to reflect on how she was a mainstay character in the show up until the point she left it in season 7 to marry Britain’s Prince Harry.
However, she didn’t start out as one of the top stars – or top guns, should I say? – she got there by her grit and determination.

Few shows remain relevant following the end of their run, but Suits staged a big comeback last year when the first eight seasons landed on Netflix.
The former USA Network legal drama broke countless streaming records and reignited interest in the franchise.
Recognizing an opening to restart the franchise, NBC put a spinoff — Suits: L.A. — into development.
Despite being billed as a shoo-in for a pickup for the 2024-2025 TV season, it was absent from the recent wave of NBC series orders and the network’s fall 2024 schedule.
Thankfully, the lack of pickup isn’t bad news because NBC has yet to watch the Suits L.A. pilot.
“We’re excited about this. It’s a pilot and we’ll be screening it in June … Assuming that it gets picked up it would be for midseason next year,” NBCUniversal boss Jeff Bader shared this week, according to The Wrap.

Some birthday gifts just aren’t going to happen, even for British royalty. Prince Archie, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son who turned 5 on May 6, 2024, reportedly missed out on a “superb” birthday gift costing thousands of dollars from his grandfather, King Charles III. The reason, according to a royal author and commentator, is because the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were concerned it’d remind Archie too much of royal life.
King Charles wanted to give Archie an elaborate playhouse for his birthday
In the lead-up to Archie’s birthday, Tom Quinn, author of Gilded Youth, a book about growing up in the royal family, discussed potential birthday gifts. Particularly one from King Charles with a hefty price tag.
The king, Quinn told Express, “suggested that he give Archie a playhouse. Not a plastic child’s playhouse, but a superb hand-made shepherd’s hut, complete with bunks and bookshelves.

The network unveiled its 2024 fall schedule, highlighting fan-favorite franchise dramas, two nights of laughs, huge unscripted hits and the biggest and best live specials and holiday programming.
If that seems like a mouthful, the details will probably help you see what’s what.
Fall Season
Three new series are set to premiere in the fall, including the drama Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto and inspired by the true story of a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist, Oliver Wolf, and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier — the human mind — while also grappling with their own relationships and mental health.

Peak TV may be over, but even in a time of industrywide contraction, another era is forging ahead unabated: Welcome to Peak Franchise TV.
Spinoffs of successful series are almost as old as network TV itself — the first ones premiered in the late 1950s. The current state of the business, however, with its nearly boundless viewing options for both old and new programming, is uniquely set up to reward investment in building franchises. On the broadcast networks alone, the 2023-24 season will feature 21 scripted series that are part of a franchise, defined as a show that has spun off another series set in the same world or is itself a spinoff.

Following their decision to step down from their roles within the royal family, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, moved to America.
They initially stayed at a waterfront property in Canada’s Vancouver Island before relocating to the States in Meghan’s hometown of Los Angeles. The duke and duchess resided in Beverly Hills at Tyler Perry’s mansion for a while but then moved again and eventually settled in the town of Montecito in Santa Barbara County. They now live in an 18,000-square-foot mansion nicknamed “The Chateau.” The home sits on five acres of land and has both ocean and mountain views. It boasts 16 bathrooms, nine bedrooms, and a separate guest house with two more bedrooms and bathrooms. There’s also a library, a sauna, a wine cellar, a game room, a gym, tennis courts, and an arcade.

“Fallout” debuted as the most-streamed title of the April 8-14 viewing window and hit the highest viewership ever achieved by an Amazon Prime Video title in a single week. The video game adaptation was watched for 2.9 billion minutes in its first five days of availability, which is more than one billion minutes above the previous record set by the best week of “Reacher.”
This also marks the 39th highest viewership achieved by a title on any service in a single week. Of the 38 slots above “Fallout” on that list, 22 are taken up by individual weeks of “Stranger Things,” “Ozark” and “Suits.”
Interestingly, Amazon doesn’t claim “Fallout” as its biggest ever debut. The company says that the series reached 65 million worldwide viewers in its first 16 days of availability, coming second to “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” though a 16-day statistic for Rings of Power” was not provided.

Ahead of next week’s upfront presentation to Madison Avenue ad buyers, NBC has solidified its comedy lineup for the 2024-25 broadcast season.
The network has handed out a series order to the multicamera comedy Happy’s Place, starring Reba McEntire, and renewed George Lopez’s half-hour Lopez vs. Lopez for a third season. Additionally, NBC has canceled rookie comedy Extended Family, starring Jon Cryer.
Happy’s Place, which was picked up to pilot in late January, revolves around Bobbie (McEntire), who inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had. The series reunites McEntire with the team behind her eponymous 2001 sitcom, including showrunner Kevin Abbott and co-star Melissa Peterman. Belissa Escobedo, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk and Rex Linn round out the cast of the series, which is produced in-house at Universal Television.

Meghan Markle never got to meet Princess Diana, but there have been reports over the years that Prince Harry’s wife always looked up to the woman who would one day become her mother-in-law. In fact, Meghan’s closest friend growing up, Ninaki Priddy, insisted that the former Suits star wanted to be the next Princess Diana and wasn’t shocked when Meghan and Prince Harry got engaged. But wanting to be like someone is totally different than believing that person speaks to you from beyond the grave.

She launched a new lifestyle brand and is reportedly working on a Netflix cooking and gardening show.
The former Suits star and her husband also noticed that some were fatigued with all their talk about the royal family, so they vowed not to speak about their issues with Prince Harry’s relatives anymore. But according to a celebrity psychic, Meghan won’t be able to escape her own family drama so easily, and that will “haunt” her for years to come.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s forthcoming trip to Nigeria isn’t impressing their fellow British royals. A commentator says other British royals are probably “rolling their eyes” at the visit slated to take place on the heels of the Invictus Games anniversary service on May 8, 2024. Why?

But alongside acting, Meghan also ran an active lifestyle blog, The Tig, which had plenty of visitors and helped build a community of friends and fans.
In 2017, she said goodbye to The Tig as she embarked on her journey as a working royal, but after leaving the royal family in 2020, some questioned if she would revive the old blog. Now, a recent action by the duchess suggests it might someday return.

It seems like so long ago now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were working royals and attended events smiling alongside Prince William and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton). The group, once known as the “Fab Four,” even attended a royal engagement to promote a foundation everyone thought they were going to be working on together for years to come.
Some fans look back on that day as the first time anyone noticed that things seemed a little off and maybe weren’t so great behind the scenes. The whole dynamic between the couples was odd, and at one point, Harry read his brother’s expression while Meghan was speaking and interrupted her.
Most people don’t like being interrupted when they’re speaking and Meghan really doesn’t like it. Here’s what happened next.

The question of whether White Collar Season 7 will ever be released has remained top of mind for fans for nearly ten years.

HBO had the Lakers, now FX has the Clippers. Will the series’ fates differ (as the real-life teams’ have), or will “Clipped” face the same quick, quiet end as “Winning Time”? We’ll find out this June, when FX’s latest ripped-from-the-headlines adaptation premieres exclusively on Hulu. The trailer was released Thursday, April 25 — just under six weeks prior to the premiere — and now you can watch the first footage below.
Set in 2013, the six-episode limited series stars Ed O’Neill as L.A. Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling and Laurence Fishburne as the team’s head coach, Doc Rivers.

Key players in the tumultuous saga include Shelly Sterling...

Since stepping down from her role as a working royal along with Prince Harry in 2020, Meghan Markle has been trying to carve out her new career path.
She became a podcast host, but Spotify canceled Archetypes after one season and pulled its multi-million deal with the Sussexes. A company executive then publicly called her and Harry “F****** grifters.” Then, when reports circulated that Meghan could strike a deal with Dior to model for the luxury brand, a rep for the fashion house quickly debunked those rumors. There was also talk that she may have some involvement in the new Suits reboot but that isn’t the case. And after rounding out 2023 in The Hollywood Reporter’s Biggest Losers List, the Duchess of Sussex has rebranded herself.

Last year, an unexpected series rose to popularity – Suits. The USA Network original made its debut on June 23, 2011, and ran for a total of nine seasons. The series was a success for the network that also spawned a one-season spin-off featuring Gina Torres’ Jessica Pearson. However, Suits became an overnight sensation once it dropped on Netflix in late 2023. The series dominated in the ratings during the Summer and Fall seasons and became the most streamed show in over a year.

While the dual union strikes of the writers and the actors postponed some projects, once the studios and unions reached an agreement, there was a lot of catch-up to play. The postponed schedules meant that this year is seeing a delay in several releases. It also looks as if some studios are going to see some releases grouped together. According to The Hollywood Reporter, popular Netflix shows that would have seen a more dispersed schedule are now bunched for later 2024.
The latter half of the year will see the continuation of Netflix’s slate of popular original programming like the anticipated new season of Squid Game, the streaming platform’s biggest series of all time.

The rising star on transitioning from man to beast for Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes.
When Owen Teague was four years old, he saw Disney’s Beauty And The Beast and wanted to be in it. Not do a voice in it — actually be in it. “My mum was like, ‘Um, okay, sure, but that’s an animation. There are community theatres you can audition for?’” So he started doing community theatre, mostly musicals. Then, in 2005, Peter Jackson’s King Kong arrived. Seven-year-old Owen was bewitched. When his mum explained that King Kong was played by an actual guy in a performance- capture suit, Teague saw his future.

The reason, they claim, is because Harry’s a “reminder” that “all is not well” in their relationship with King Charles III and Kate Middleton as the two undergo cancer treatment. Ahead, what the author had to say and more about Meghan’s new business venture.

When Blue Lights debuted on BBC One last year, it was favourably compared with Line of Duty. The comparison made sense. Both dramas deal with drug-dealing organised crime gangs, and touch on the under-funded reality of PR and stats-led UK policing. Both love an armed response unit and a cliffhanger. They’re both filmed in Belfast (though only Blue Lights is set there) and take place in fictional police sections where the dialogue gets a bit ‘sit rep on the double o-b’ spilled-Scrabble-tiles at times.
There is though, a major difference between the two – and it’s not just Blue Lights being about frontline response policing (uniforms in patrol cars) and Line of Duty being about anti-corruption detectives (suits in undercover vehicles). It’s to do with warmth.
To listen to commissioners, warmth is what audiences are currently craving. It’s what put Richard Osman on the bestseller lists for his Thursday Murder Club books,...

Following their decision to step down from royal duties and move to America in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a lucrative deal with streaming giant Netflix for upwards of $100 million. In late 2022, their six-part docuseries Harry & Meghan was released and became one of the most-watched documentaries on the platform.
However, the Sussexes’ next project Live to Lead, featuring interviews with Greta Thunberg and Jacinda Ardern, did not find popularity with audiences. Nor did another documentary showcasing Prince Harry’s Invictus Games titled Heart of Invictus, which was also labeled a flop after failing to crack Netflix’s Top 10.
But the prince and the former Suits star are now trying again to capture the magic they once had with some brand new content including a cooking show as well as a documentary about Harry’s favorite sport. And while filming the latter, Meghan had an awkward exchange that was captured by cameras.

Suits, a long-running mainstay on cable’s USA Network that became a streaming phenomenon last year, will make its broadcast debut this fall on MyNetwork TV.
The show’s slot in Fox’s Monday-through-Friday syndicated programming block, which reaches 97% of U.S. TV homes, will mark the first time it will be available on free television. A premiere date has not yet been announced.
The legal drama, which premiered on USA Network in 2011, became a streaming phenomenon when it landed on Netflix and NBCUniversal’s Peacock in 2023. Even though the Netflix run was non-exclusive (the show’s full nine seasons can only be streamed on Peacock), it racked up viewing minutes in the tens of billions and broke a number of Nielsen records. The surge of interest led to NBCU and creator Aaron Korsh to plot out an entire Suits universe, with new iteration Suits: L.A. landing a pilot order last February.
