So now you’re doubling down on these legacy shows with “Billions,” for example, branching off into “Billions: Miami,” “Billions: London,” “Millions” and “Trillions.”
And not all of them are gonna make it. We look at it through a filter of it being a world that we can tap into that creates new opportunities. With “Billions,” is it a television series about Wall Street, or is it a global franchise about money, power and corruption? To me, that’s a huge opportunity to tell incredible stories — who’s in power, who’s not, and what would you do to keep it all?
We have four shows in development. I don’t anticipate doing more than two a year, but we need to have a lot of development going on because we need to move quick. It’s a similar model to what we’re doing with “Yellowstone.” We can have the Dutton family be the eyes that we go through, but let’s do the history of the American experience in chapters about how America won the West.
One of the reasons the “Yellowstone”-ification of Paramount+ worked was because you had a singular talent in Taylor Sheridan, who seemed to have this bottomless well of ideas. Do you have someone similar in the “Billions” world?
First, there’s no question that Taylor is exceptional. But you’ll see that more and more series will be with him and somebody else, like we did with “Tulsa King” [created by Sheridan with Terence Winter showrunning]. What we’re doing with Showtime is, we’re partnering with our core creators, like Brian Koppelman and David Levien, who created “Billions” and will oversee the “Billions” universe. But we’ll also look to bring in other creatives to help build out those franchises and ideas.
What you’re doing with “Billions” sounds like the Dick Wolf playbook.
You could look at it as Dick Wolf in broadcast, “Yellowstone” in premium cable or “Top Gun,” “Mission: Impossible” and “Star Wars” in theatrical film. The misconception is that franchises are easier, when in fact they’re a lot harder, because audiences have built-in expectations, you have the confines of what the franchise is, and you have to thread the needle so that it’s good enough to not disappoint the core audience but also create a door for new audiences.

Kevin Costner Tension Could Get ‘Yellowstone’ Cancelled After Season 5, According To Explosive New Report
Is Yellowstone’s reign on entertainment coming to an end? Rumor has it that Taylor Sheridan‘s Western drama may be ending sooner rather than later, a.k.a. after the second half of the current Season 5, due to tensions surrounding Kevin Costner‘s filming schedule. According to Deadline, the showrunner and executives at Paramount are set on ending the show “in its current form,” after facing…

Paramount is making a major change to its linear and streaming businesses, merging Paramount+ and Showtime in both areas.
In connection with the changes, executives warned of likely layoffs and changes to programming to follow in the coming weeks.
Paramount CEO Bob Bakish announced the move in a memo to staff Monday afternoon, confirming rumors that have been brewing for some time.
For starters, both the Showtime linear pay-TV channel and the premium tier of Paramount+ will be rebranded as Paramount+ with Showtime, with Chris McCarthy to lead the Showtime studio and linear channel, and Tom Ryan overseeing the streaming business.
[…]
In a memo of his own, McCarthy touted the “complementary” audiences of Showtime and Paramount+, while adding that the company plans to lean into shows that tightly associated with Showtime’s “brand strengths and content filters,” calling out programs like Yellowjackets, Billions, Dexter and The Chi.
“To do this, we will divert investment away from areas that are underperforming and that account for less than 10% of our views,” McCarthy wrote. “We have already begun conversations with our production partners about what content makes sense moving forward and which shows have franchise potential.”
So Showtime shows that aren’t deemed core to those strengths may get the boot. On Monday, the first 3 shows to face the axe were revealed by the channel, with scripted dramas Let the Right One In and American Gigolo getting canceled and the Shailene Woodley-led adaptation of Three Women no longer moving forward at the premium cable network. The latter series, which has already completed production, is being shopped to other outlets.

Benoit Blanc/ Knives Out 3rd Installment Dream Cast!
Tumblr media
Okay! Hear me out:
Ayo Edebiri as our lead. She slays, she’s amazing, she eats up every scene.
Penelope Cruz as the ring leader of the group. Takes no shit and looks after her family by any means necessary.
Chris Pine as the polite yet reserved one of the group. Secretly a Proud Boy.
Anne Hathaway as the rich bitch with a slight alcohol addiction.
Nicholas Braun as the narcissistic nepo baby. Right from the get-go he’s an asshole.
Anna Faris as the quirky, out-of-touch friendly one who tries to be woke but is actually a centrist.
Melissa McCarthy as the problematic aspiring comedian with the very uncomfortable “jokes.”
Jensen Ackles as the sus potential love interest who turns out to be major red flags.
Florence Pugh as the only trusting ally with a private, backstabbing agenda. Slightly murderous.
Plus...
Tumblr media
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the nft-ai tech bro.
Keke Palmer as the new money trying to hold onto her status.
Hunter Schafer as Chris Pine’s daughter. Self-involved, reckless. The wild card.
Woody Harrelson as the one you really wanna like but can’t because his character voted for Trump twice. Conspiracy theorist and prob also a misogynist.
