Sky renews Bulletproof for Season 4

Bulletproof will return to Sky One for a fourth season.

Starring Noel Clarke and Ashley Walters as cop-buddy duo Bishop and Pike, the series has been a hit, becoming one of the highest rating titles on Sky One since launching in 2018. It has spawned not only a second season but a third run set in South Africa. With that airing on Sky One this week, Sky has confirmed that Clarke and Walters have already been commissioned to return for a fourth outing.

The eight-part season will see Bishop and Pike implicated in a grisly murder, leaving their jobs, lives and families hanging in the balance. The pair must use every ounce of skill and tenacity to bring down the most untouchable villain they’ve ever faced.

Filming is scheduled for later this year in and around London.

Game of Thrones’ Prequel ‘Tales of Dunk and Egg’ in Early Development at HBO

A series adaptation of “Tales of Dunk and Egg,” a prequel to the events of “Game of Thrones,” is in early development at HBO, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

The one-hour show would be based on the series of fantasy novellas by George R. R. Martin, which follow the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and a young Aegon V Targaryen (Egg) 90 years prior to the events of “A Song of Ice and Fire.”

Martin has published three novellas in the “Tales of Dunk and Egg” series to date: “The Hedge Knight” in 1998, “The Sworn Sword” in 2003, and “The Mystery Knight” in 2010. The three novellas were then collected and published together as “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” in 2015.

‘High Maintenance’ Season 5 Not Going Forward, as Creators Look to New Projects

If you’ve been hoping to get more stories from Ben Sinclair’s The Guy and his life in New York City as presented through HBO’s “High Maintenance” we hate to be the bearers of bad news. The show, which finished its fourth season in April of 2020, won’t be coming back for a fifth.

HBO confirmed as much in a statement to TVLine. “Co-creators Katja Blichfeld and Ben Sinclair have decided to take a break from producing ‘High Maintenance’ to pursue other projects. We look forward to hearing what they come up with next.

This Sceptred Isle

Kenneth Branagh To Play British PM Boris Johnson In Sky Drama

Henry V star Kenneth Branagh is to play British Prime Minister in Sky drama This Sceptred Isle.

The project first emerged as part of a deal between The Trip director Michael Winterbottom and Fremantle’s Passenger, run by True Detective producer Richard Brown.

Sky Atlantic has now boarded the series with Branagh, who recently starred in Tenet, in the lead. It is produced by Passenger and Michael Winterbottom’s Revolution Films.

The five-part drama will chart the events surrounding the U.K. Prime Minister, the government, and the country in the face of the first wave of the global pandemic.

It will trace the impact on Britain from the pandemic, and the response of scientists, nurses, and doctors as they worked to contain and overcome the virus. It is based on the first-hand testimony of people including those from Number 10 Downing Street, the Department of Health, The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), and from hospitals and care homes across the country.....

Sky announces 'Chernobyl 86' follow up and a number of other projects to compete with the streaming services

Sky is also accelerating its move into documentaries. Following the success of Sky Atlantic’s drama Chernobyl it is airing Chernobyl 86, which has unseen footage of the cleanup operation after the nuclear accident. Other new series include one marking 40 years since HIV/Aids was first diagnosed, and there is a film from Louis Theroux’s production company about the convicted killer Jeremy Bamber.


The pay-TV company that the US conglomerate Comcast bought from Rupert Murdoch’s Fox in 2018 is continuing its drama drive with Wolfe, a pathologist detective created by the Shameless writer Paul Abbott and an adaptation of John Wyndham’s The Midwich Cuckoos. Bennett also said a new series of Succession should air by the end of this year and a second season of the hit Gangs of London next year.

Netflix orders live-action adaptation of Heartstopper

Netflix has commissioned a live-action series based on Heartstopper.

Created by Alice Oseman, Heartstopper started out as a webcomic in 2016 and has gone on to be released as graphic novels. It follows Charlie and Nick, who meet at school and become friends before gradually developing a romantic relationship.

Now, Netflix is bringing the comic to the screen for an eight-part series. Produced by See-Saw Films, including Doctor Who and Daredevil director Euros Lyn, the series will be adapted by Alice for the screen.

“It was clear right away that Alice not only had created these brilliant and emotionally engaging characters, but the world they populated was relatable yet somehow aspirational. The whole thing is just so poignant and beautifully crafted. To tell a love story between two boys who meet at school involves such vision and creative focus, Alice has absolutely delivered this here,” said Alexi Wheeler, Netflix’s Director, Kids & Family Content.

“When we started to develop the project we collectively decided that Alice had such a clear vision that it would make sense for her to adapt and write the episodes herself; this has paid dividends and we are confident that the 8 episodes we have commissioned will live up to the expectations of existing fans while also engaging a new audience.”

“I am so proud to be championing Charlie and Nick’s story. We care deeply that all young people see themselves reflected in our content, and are hopeful that many people, whatever their age or identity, will see themselves in this bold and uplifting series,” Wheeler added.

‘Harry Potter’ TV Series in Early Development at HBO Max

A “Harry Potter” series is in very early development at HBO Max, Variety has learned from sources.

Rumors that a show set within the wizarding world have persisted for some time. Now it seems those plans are moving ahead. Though no writers or talent are currently attached to the project, sources say conversations have taken place with multiple writers on the potential series. There is no word yet on what the focus of the show would be or what part of the “Harry Potter” timeline it would focus on should it move ahead.

“There are no Harry Potter series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform,” Warner Bros. and HBO Max said in a statement to Variety, though multiple sources have confirmed that the project is in the very early stages.

Taron Egerton, Paul Walter Hauser to Star in Apple Series Adaptation of ‘In With the Devil’

Apple is nearing an order for the limited series “In with the Devil,” with Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser onboard to star, Variety has learned.

The six-episode series would be based on the 2010 novel “In With The Devil: A Fallen Hero, A Serial Killer, and A Dangerous Bargain for Redemption” by James Keene and Hillel Levin. The book tells the story of Keene’s real life when he was sentenced to prison but offered his freedom in exchange for coaxing a confession out of a fellow inmate, a suspected serial killer.

The series is described as being told through the lens of an intimate relationship between two prisoners, exploring the lengths that people will go to in order to seek redemption, if true absolution is ever really possible, and if so, at what costs. Egerton would star in the Keene role.

‘Serial’ Season 3 to Be Developed as HBO Limited Series, LeBron James to Executive Produce

HBO is developing the third season of the hit podcast “Serial” as a limited series, with LeBron James onboard the project as an executive producer.

The potential series will examine the criminal justice system at work in Cleveland, Ohio. Following a young cop and the man he’s accused of beating, it dives into the inner workings of a middle-American courthouse and how the system impacts every person it touches: cop, lawyer, and citizens accused of and victimized by crimes.

Shola Amoo is attached to write, direct, and executive produce. James will executive produce under his SpringHill Company banner along with Maverick Carter, Jamal Henderson, and Eric Oberland. Sarah Koenig, Emmanuel Dzotsi, and Alissa Shipp of Serial Productions will also executive produce alongside Kary Antholis for Crime Story Media, LLC.

Should the project go to series, it would not be the first time that “Serial” has been brought to HBO. The premium cabler previously aired the docuseries “The Case Against Adnan Syed” in March 2019. Syed’s case was the subject of the podcast’s first season.
