UPDATED: ABC’s L.A. Law sequel has gone the way of the network’s NYPD Blue sequel. The network has passed on the pilot, headlined by Blair Underwood, reprising his role as attorney Jonathan Rollins in addition to executive producing. There are no plans for the project to be reworked at ABC, but I hear the finished pilot is being shopped to other outlets. Primetime-Panic Your Complete Guide to Pilots and Straight-to-Series orders Like was the case with the revival of Steven Bochco’s iconic NYPD Blue, the followup to Bochco’s acclaimed legal drama L.A. Law had a very high bar to clear in order to get to the air. I hear, likely because of the very high expectations, the pilot felt a bit like it tried too hard but those who have seen it praised Underwood’s ...

Christina Ricci is one of those actors who had both the luck and the misfortune to be perfectly cast in an iconic role at a very young age. As a preteen in the early ’90s, she played Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family and its sequel, and the role haunts her. In the public imagination, she will always be a pallid, creepy child, simultaneously sinister and adorable, with an air of Victorian spookiness. It doesn’t help that she’s retained a girlishness into her 40s, with a tiny, birdlike frame; enormous, wide-set eyes; and the precise, buttoned-down manner of someone who had to grow old before her time. While her contemporary Kirsten Dunst parlayed her ethereal performance in Interview with the Vampire into blockbuster leading roles and arthouse acclaim, Ricci got typecast and faded...

Young Thug’s lawyers file emergency motion for bond, call his housing ‘inhumane,’ ‘torturous’ ATLANTA — Lawyers for Young Thug have filed an emergency motion for a bond hearing or “more humane/non-torturous in-custody housing,” saying that he has been wrongfully charged. The motion was filed Friday in the Superior Court of Fulton County. The rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, was arrested Monday at a home in Buckhead on a sweeping gang indictment that also named 27 other people. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said the people named in the indictment are members of the Young Slime Life gang, which has engaged in criminal activity in the city since 2012. The 88-page indictment gives a detailed account of various crimes the alleged members of YSL are accused of, and d...

Less than 24 hours after Legacies (along with six other CW series) were unceremoniously canceled, series creator Julie Plec has taken to Twitter to toast the end of The Vampire Diaries saga’s 13-year run on The CW. “To my beloved Legacies — after the Parkland shootings, I decided I wanted to tell a story about the young heroes who would save us from ourselves,” Plec tweeted on Friday. “Good kids living on the fringe who ultimately were the heroes of the whole story.” She also thanked Legacies EP Brett Matthews, “the captain, fearless leader, brilliantly funny voice of (not to mention the heart and soul of) the show. The best work husband around and someone I am proud to call my friend.” “To the cast and crews of all. Some who have been part of the family since Day 1 of [...

Placeholder while article actions load The brewing debate over the MPA rating for director Sam Raimi’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is nominally about the tricky gray area separating a PG-13 movie and an R-rated one. In truth, it’s the latest effort by fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to convince the rest of us that these are grown-up movies for adults and deserve to be treated, and rated, as such. The MPA’s Classification and Ratings Administration aims for consistency above all else. As Joan Graves, then-chair of the group, noted repeatedly during a 2013 panel at SXSW moderated by The Post’s Alyssa Rosenberg, the whole point of the MPA ratings board is to provide information to parents while balancing the concerns of 300 million-plus people living in regions that...

Bucking this week’s cancellation trend, ABC on Friday renewed all five of its remaining scripted bubble shows. For those keeping track at home, that includes dramas Big Sky (for Season 3) and A Million Little Things (for Season 5), as well as comedies The Conners (for Season 5), Home Economics (for Season 3) and The Wonder Years (for Season 2). TVLine’s 2022 Renewal Scorecard has been updated to reflect all five pickups. The Conners this season is averaging 4.8 million total weekly viewers and a 0.8 demo rating (with Live+7 playback), down 14 and 27 percent from last season. Among the six sitcoms ABC has aired this TV season, it is first in viewers and ties Abbott Elementary and The Goldbergs — both of which were previously renewed — for No. 1 in the demo.
