Jeremy Strong has found his next project.
The actor is set to star in a TV series adaptation of the Ira Levin novel The Boys From Brazil for Netflix, Variety reports.
Peter Morgan, who created The Crown, will write the series and executive produce along with Suzanne Mackie from Orchid Pictures.
The Boys From Brazil follows Nazi hunter Yakov Liebermann as he receives a tip that Dr. Josef Mengele is alive and living under a different name in Brazil. He then travels to the country to track him down, only to discover a sinister conspiracy.
Strong will star as Liebermann in the show, marking his first series regular role after the end of HBO’s Succession, where he starred as Kendall Roy for four seasons.
Levin’s novel was originally published in 1976. It was adapted into a film in 1978 that starred Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier.
The 82nd Golden Globe Awards aired live Sunday from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Comedian Nikki Glaser hosted the awards show, which honored the best in film and television over the past year. Here are some of the show’s highlights:
Shōgun, The Brutalist, Emilia Pérez win big It was a big night for the FX and Hulu series Shōgun, which won all four of the Golden Globes it was nominated for: best TV series (drama), best performance by a male actor in a TV series (drama) for Hiroyuki Sanada, best performance by a male actor in a supporting role on TV for Tadanobu Asano and best performance by a female actor in a TV series (drama) for Anna Sawai.
The Brutalist picked up three wins, including best motion picture (drama), best director for Brady Corbet and best performance by a male actor in a motion picture for Adrien Brody. In his speech, Brody said the film’s story is similar to his mother’s and his ancestors’. “I owe so much to my mother and my grandparents for their sacrifice, and although I do not know fully how to express all of the challenges that you have faced and experienced, and the many people who have struggled immigrating to this country, I hope that this work stands to lift you up a bit and to give you a voice,” Brody said.
Emilia Pérez came away from the evening with wins for best motion picture (musical or comedy), best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in a motion picture for Zoe Saldaña, best motion picture (non-English language) and best original song. Saldaña celebrated her win, the first of the night and her first-ever Golden Globe, by saying her heart was full of gratitude. “I know this is competition, but all that I have witnessed tonight is us showing up for each other, and it’s just so beautiful,” she said.
Nikki Glaser brings big laughs, roasts The evening’s host, Nikki Glaser, began her monologue by welcoming everyone to “Ozempic’s biggest night.” After mentioning the viral holding space meme from Wicked‘s press tour, Glaser told Zendaya she was incredible in Dune: Part 2, before saying her film Challengers “was more sexually charged than Diddy‘s credit card.” She also made sure to roast Timothée Chalamet‘s facial hair, after telling him he gave a great performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. “You have the most gorgeous eyelashes on your upper lip,” Glaser said.
Cute couples, family plus-ones hit red carpet Was that Blair Waldorf with Seth Cohen? Yes, yes it was. Nominee Adam Brody brought his wife, Leighton Meester, as his date to the awards ceremony. Timothée Chalamet also brought a famous plus-one — his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, who sat next to him during the live broadcast. Ariana Grande was accompanied by her mother, Joan Grande, as her date for the evening, while GlenPowell brought both his parents, Glen Powell Sr. and Cyndy Powell, whom he posed with on the red carpet.
Demi Moore wins her first Golden Globe The Substance actress Demi Moore won her first Golden Globe for her leading role in the horror film. She gave a powerful speech while accepting the trophy for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy). “I’ve been doing this a long time, like, over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor,” Moore said. “Thirty years ago I had a producer tell me that I was a ‘popcorn actress,’ and at that time, I made that mean that this wasn’t something I was allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful and made a lot of money, but that I couldn’t be acknowledged, and I bought in and I believed that.”
In honor of Valentine’s Day, Netflix has released its first look at Bridgerton season 4. Along with a behind-the-scenes video featuring footage from the new season, the streamer also released several new images from the season.
Benedict Bridgerton takes over as the lead of season 4. He’s played by Luke Thompson, while his love interest, Sophie Baek, is played by Yerin Ha. According to its official logline, season 4 “turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict. Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver (Ha’s Sophie) at his mother’s masquerade ball.”
At the Bridgerton Season of Love virtual fan celebration, which took place Friday, showrunner Jess Brownell teased what is to come from the upcoming new season of the popular Regency-era series.
Brownell confirmed that season 4 will be the most faithful adaptation of one of Julia Quinn‘s Bridgerton novels. Specific plot points from Benedict’s book, An Offer From A Gentleman, that will be featured in the season include the masquerade ball, the iconic lake scene and the My Cottage moments at Benedict’s country home.
The behind-the-scenes video shows off footage from the masquerade ball, which takes up most of episode one, Brownell confirmed.
Additionally, Brownell said that fan-favorite couples Kate and Anthony and Colin and Penelope, played by Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey and Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan, respectively, will return in season 4 — this time as new parents.
Season 4 of Bridgerton is currently in production in London. It will consist of eight episodes. A premiere date for the new episodes has yet to be set.
Cynthia Nixon and David Eigenberg had a mini Sex and the City reunion.
Nixon took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a photo of her and Eigenberg seemingly on the set of And Just Like That…, the iconic show’s sequel series.
The actors, who played Miranda Hobbes and Steve Brady, are seen bundled up, with Nixon wearing a puffer jacket over a sweater and Eigenberg wearing a jean jacket over a flannel shirt.
“Fancy seeing you here,” she captioned the post.
The costars are friendly in real life, but their onscreen counterparts have had a roller-coaster relationship.
After falling in love on Sex and the City, Miranda and Steve have since split in the sequel series.
And Just Like That… has been renewed for a third season.
Sex and the City alum Kim Cattrall confirmed she won’t be back after her cameo last season. Rosie O’Donnell and Patti LuPone will be joining Nixon, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and others in the cast for season 3.
