Netflix canceled the romantic drama Ransom Canyon after two seasons, leaving a storyline its own showrunner promised was "just the beginning" permanently unfinished. The streaming giant will not bring back the Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly series for a third season, UPI reported Thursday, citing trade publication Deadline as the first outlet to break the news. The Hollywood Reporter independently confirmed the decision the same day. Sources pointed to declining viewership and the cost of production as the reasons behind the cancellation. Netflix itself has not issued a public statement explaining the move, and no specific viewership figures or budget numbers have been disclosed. The show, based on Jodi Thomas's book series, followed…Open

Two major streaming platforms are developing rival documentary projects about Wendy Williams, but the former talk-show host is reportedly too unwell to appear on camera for either one. Peacock and Netflix have each begun work on separate documentaries about the former daytime television star, who has been battling dementia and living under a court-appointed guardianship since 2022. The projects come on the heels of a contentious Lifetime documentary released last year that drew a lawsuit from Williams's guardian, a suit that was quietly dropped just weeks ago. The dueling productions raise uncomfortable questions about who profits from Williams's story while the woman herself remains unable to participate in telling it. Both streamers…Open

John Cusack, the 60-year-old actor behind some of the most memorable films of the 1990s, told Variety he walked away from mainstream Hollywood because he no longer wanted executives with financial stakes dictating how his stories get told.

The book, set in 1972 and following two fugitives on a quest to recover an ancient artifact for TV legend Jackie Gleason, is scheduled for release September 29. No publisher was named. The project, Cusack said, gave him something Hollywood no longer offers: full creative control with no studio oversight, no test audiences, and no algorithmic second-guessing…Open

A new Netflix adaptation of "Little House on the Prairie" has sparked fresh curiosity about the original cast, and their stories since 1983 range from quiet retirements to serious legal trouble.

Fox News Digital published a feature tracing the post-show paths of the original cast, anchored by a new interview with former child star Sidney Greenbush and timed to the wave of renewed attention the Netflix version has generated. The answers cover five decades of Hollywood, reunions and rifts, quiet…Open

Three major broadcast and cable networks declined to air President Donald Trump's primetime address on election security, relegating a presidential speech to their streaming platforms and websites while their main channels ran regular programming or commentary instead. Trump, mid-speech, turned his fire directly on ABC and NBC, calling them "fake news" and demanding their broadcast licenses be revoked. Only Fox News carried the address in its entirety. CBS dipped in minutes after Trump began speaking, then cut away shortly after his attacks on the other networks. The result was a fractured media landscape in which millions of Americans watching network television never saw their president speak, unless they went looking for it online. …Open
