First Look at Showtime’s New Comedy HAPPYISH Starring Steve Coogan and Kathryn Hahn
http://collider.com/first-look-at-s...pyish-starring-steve-coogan-and-kathryn-hahn/

Coogan stars as Thom Payne, a 44 year-old man whose world is thrown into disarray when his 25 year-old wunderkind boss arrives, saying things like “digital,” “social” and “viral.” Is he in need of a “rebranding,” or does he just have a “low joy ceiling?” Maybe pursuing happiness is a fool’s errand? Maybe, after 44 years on this ludicrous planet, settling for happyish is the best one can expect. HAPPYISH was created, written and executive produced by critically acclaimed author and regular This American Life contributor Shalom Auslander. Emmy Award nominee Ken Kwapis (He’s Just Not That Into You, A Walk In The Woods) will executive produce and direct the pilot. Kwapis’ producing partner Alexandra Beattie will serve as co-executive producer, under their In Cahoots banner.

If I'm not mistaken this was supposed to be for Phillip Seymour Hoffman before he became 'unavailable'
 
HOMELAND Season 5 Will Include a Time Jump, Career Changes, and More
http://collider.com/homeland-season-5-time-jump/

Some interesting info from this year’s PaleyFest: at a Q&A panel Friday night, Homeland showrunner Alex Gansa spoke about some big changes for the show’s upcoming fifth season.

Variety reports that according to Gansa, the next season will jump ahead 2.5 years, and will be located in Europe (probably shooting in Germany). Gansa went on to say that Carrie will no longer work for the CIA.

I thought last season was terrific, so I have faith in them to make this work.

Source: Twin Peaks reboot moving forward despite David Lynch's comments
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/16/-twin-peaks-lynch-comments

Showtime’s Twin Peaks is still apparently on track.

Creator David Lynch reportedly made some dire comments about his Twin Peaks reboot’s odds of happening at a panel in Australia for his new art exhibit last weekend. The writer-director reportedly said Showtime’s resurrection of his classic ABC series was “still up in the air” and “there are complications” and that he doesn’t know if the revival is still on.

That was certainly news to Showtime, which has already received all of Lynch’s scripts, greenlit Twin Peaks as a limited series and signed Kyle MacLachlan to reprise his starring role as Agent Cooper. “Nothing is going on that’s any more than any preproduction process with David Lynch,” a source said close to the show said. “Everything is moving forward and everybody is crazy thrilled and excited.”

Still, Lynch’s participation is still considered pretty crucial. Lynch is signed to direct all nine episodes and it’s hard to imagine Twin Peaks returning without his blessing. We reached out to Lynch’s representative for more clarity, but the rep had nothing to say about the director’s comments. Perhaps Lynch simply hadn’t had his morning coffee yet?

Exclusive: PENNY DREADFUL Season 2 Video Warns the Devil Is in All of Us
http://collider.com/penny-dreadful-season-2-character-video/

Now that I have my DVR cut back some(thanks Archer Marathon) I think I am gonna catch the back four of these. I have kinda made my peace that this, at least teh first season, is just tantalizing eye candy. Maybe season 2 will have some meat...but if it is as beautiful...well, screw it. In anyway.
 
David Lynch Departs TWIN PEAKS Season 3; Is He Negotiating in Public?
http://collider.com/twin-peaks-season-3-david-lynch-leaves/

way I felt it needed to be done. — David Lynch (@DAVID_LYNCH) April 5, 2015


After 1 year and 4 months of negotiations, I left because not enough money was offered to do the script the way I felt it needed to be done.

This weekend I started to call actors to let them know I would not be directing. Twin Peaks may still be very much alive at Showtime. — David Lynch (@DAVID_LYNCH) April 5, 2015


I love the world of Twin Peaks and wish things could have worked out differently.

— David Lynch (@DAVID_LYNCH) April 5, 2015


While it’s possible that Showtime could continue without him, the network released the following statement [via Hitfix]:

“We were saddened to read David Lynch’s statement today since we believed we were working towards solutions with David and his reps on the few remaining deal points. SHOWTIME also loves the world of Twin Peaks and we continue to hold out hope that we can bring it back in all its glory with both of its extraordinary creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost, at its helm.”

It's funny, judging by their responses Showtime seems to not know that the negotiations weren't going well. The interwebz have been pretty adamant that no Frost/Lynch ='s no show. Pretty sure that Showtime realizes that and will do what they can to appease. I can only hope that, at best, this is Lynch being Lynch, and drumming up awareness. At worst, maybe they have cold feet and really do not want to do it. Not like Lynch has been a workaholic in the interim.
