Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Tuesday, November 21, 2023.
Netflix is delving back into the world of Black Mirror.
Months after the debut of its sixth season, reports have emerged that Netflix is already prepping Black Mirror Season 7.
With the speedier-than-usual renewal, there's a high chance we won't wait as long for fresh episodes.
The four-year wait between Seasons 5 and 6 was a lot.
Then again, maybe there will still be a significant delay because the series tends to attract big names due to the one-episode commitment afforded by its format.
Black Mirror has remained a success story for Netflix, reaching the Top 10 in countless countries.
The series started on Channel 4 but moved to Netflix in 2016 and has enjoyed a bigger budget and more cutting-edge stories than before.
We're unsure where the series will go next, but we'll be seated when new episodes pop into our Netflix queue.

James Corden aims to leave the late-night stage in a big way.
CBS plans to broadcast the last hour of its “The Late Late Show,” which Corden has hosted since March of 2015, on Thursday, April 27, and will add a primetime special that night to help mark the occasion.
Tom Cruise will reunite with Corden for one big sketch to air during the primetime special. Cruise has previously joined Corden on “The Late Late Show” for segments include daredevil stunts such as piloting fighter jets and skydiving. In this new meeting, Corden will have Cruise take part in an epic musical performance during “The Lion King” at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood.
CBS said additional details for the special will be announced in coming weeks along with guest stars who will join Corden during his last two months on the program. Corden is the fourth — and last — person to lead “The Late Late Show,...

CBS wants to cut back on late-night talk and play up the games in the wee hours of the morning.
CBS is expected to replace its long-running “Late Late Show” after a 28-year run with a reboot of the Comedy Central game show “@midnight,” according to a person familiar with the matter, in a maneuver that would cut costs and also revive a programming concept controlled by the network’s’ parent company, Paramount Global.
A CBS spokesman declined to comment on the network’s plans, which would mark the second time the network has raided Comedy Central to stock its late-night grid. Stephen Colbert jumped from Comedy Central to CBS in 2015. Deadline previously reported
the decision.
Using “@midnight” would trim some of the frills in CBS’ post-“Late Show” slot, which another person familiar with the business of late-night TV suggested would eliminate tens of millions of dollars in production costs.

Trevor Noah isn’t overly concerned by the fact that the amount of women in late night is as dwindling as ever. In the host’s eyes, the time slot doesn’t really matter when it comes to content from different voices; what matters is the platform.
In an interview with Et Canada posted this week, Noah was asked about the future of late night — and particularly the diversity of it — considering the fact that female hosts like Lily Singh and Samantha Bee both got their shows canceled. And while Noah was sad to see that happen, he noted that their voices aren’t totally “gone.”
“I don’t know that diverse voices are gone, you know?” he said. “Lily is creating more shows, she’s got development deals, you know, she’s still huge on YouTube.”
At that, Noah added that he’s often surprised when online content creators...

When James Corden cuts ties with CBS’ “Late Late Show” next year, he may leave with more than people expected.
CBS is considering replacing Corden’s distinct program with a multi-host panel, according to three people familiar with the matter, a sign of how late-night is changing as viewers sample the best of the programs via social media rather than watching them in their wee-hours’ time slot. Corden has decided to leave “The Late Late Show” in the spring of 2023. A panel format could encompass a wide range of concepts, such as the news-roundtable program “Politically Incorrect,” which Bill Maher led on ABC late-nights between 1997 and 2002; the gossipy “Chelsea Lately” that was led by Chelsea Handler on E! between 2007 and 2014; or even the frenetic game-show stylings of “@midnight,” which aired in late night on Comedy Central between 2013 and 2017.

Now playing exclusively in theaters is “The Bad Guys,” a new DreamWorks Animation film from Universal Pictures that boasts a unique animation style, thrilling heist story and Marc Maron voicing a wolf.
What convinced the Wtf podcast host to sign onto his first major animated film? “The appeal was that they wanted me, specifically, and that it was about eight minutes from my house,” Maron joked when TheWrap recently spoke with him and other cast members during the film’s press day.
On a more serious note, Maron was drawn to the story and character. “I liked the movie, it seemed exciting, it seemed like it would get made.” For Craig Robinson, who voices Mr. Shark, he felt like it was “a dream” when he was brought into DreamWorks Animation and pitched the idea of the movie and his character.

Based on the book series by Australian author Aaron Blabey, DreamWorks Animation’s “The Bad Guys” follows a group of animal criminals – Mr. Wolf aka the Big Bad Wolf (Sam Rockwell), Mr. Snake (Marc Maron), Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina), Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson) and Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos) — as they try to turn the corner and become (gasp!) good guys.

Pooch loving celebs Trevor Noah, Chris Evans, NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. and CAA co-founder Michael Ovitz are among the latest high-profile investors in Jinx, a “clean-label dog nutrition brand designed to meet the needs of the modern dog.”
The Los Angeles company that launched early last year just raised $28 million in a Series A funding round led by investment advisory firm The Merchant Club, cash to expand its product portfolio and move from direct-to-consumer into brick and mortar retailers early next year.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 3, episode 9 of “The Masked Singer,” which aired March 25 on Fox.
JoJo Siwa can finally reveal the truth to her fans: Yes, the T-Rex on “The Masked Singer” was her. Plenty of viewers had figured it out — but per the rules of the show, the YouTube and Nickelodeon star had to keep her lips sealed.
“I think the hardest thing was the secrecy from my people and my friends,” Siwa told Variety. “The hard thing was social media. ‘The Masked Singer’ on social media, whomever runs the page is amazing. They’ll tweet and ask, ‘Do you think T-Rex is JoJo Siwa’ and they’ll tag me, ‘@JoJoSiwa, what do you think? Is it you?’ And you can’t like it, you can’t do anything. So that made it hard. And also, I film my life every single...

Sunday night's Super Bowl Liv, held at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, was full of exciting plays between the San Francisco 49ers and the ultimately victorious Kansas City Chiefs, as well as a dazzling halftime show courtesy of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. But, as tradition goes, many viewers solely tuned in to the big game for the commercials.
Of course, many of the ads featured famous faces. Taraji P. Henson, Busy Philipps, Lily Singh, Katie Couric and real-life astronaut Nicole Stott appeared in an inspirational commercial for Olay; Boston natives John Krasinski, Rachel Dratch, Chris Evans and David "Big Papi"...

When you think of Downton Abbey, stunning gowns, elegant estates, and sibling rivalries probably come to mind. Rap and hip-hop superstar Cardi B probably doesn't. Nevertheless, Lily Singh decided to create a mash-up for the ages during the most recent episode of her talk show, A Little Late, by having Downton cast members Elizabeth McGovern, Allen Leech, and Hugh Bonneville - who were there to promote their new film - recite some of the rapper's lyrics in character. The result? Hearing Bonneville saying "I like boardin' jets, I like mornin' sex, woo," in a very posh accent. Instant gold.

In the wild and woolly world of short-form digital video, Studio71 would seem to be well-situated: a roster of well-known influencer talent from Lily Singh to the Fine Bros. generate 9.5 billion views via the 40,000 content pieces generated across platforms each month.
But in this week’s episode of the Variety podcast “Strictly Business,” Studio71 CEO Reza Izad is candid about navigating an ecosystem that has been reeling from one challenge to the next, from the brand safety issues that left marketers skittish to the disappearance of content buyers his company counted on for licensing revenues.
“What we’ve seen in the last year is a shrinkage of that market,” said Izad. “When Go90 goes out of business and SeeSo and Watchable—and there’s a much longer list than that—you get contraction.”

New York, N.Y., June 4, 2018 – Imagine a society where books are outlawed and “firemen” have been tasked to burn and destroy any remaining literature, erasing history right before our eyes. This is the reality in Fahrenheit 451, a jaw-dropping new HBO Film starring Michael B. Jordan and Oscar® nominee Michael Shannon (Shape of Water), available on Digital Download June 18, 2018 and Blu-ray and DVD September 18, 2018.
Based on Ray Bradbury’s classic sci-fi novel of the same name, the thought-provoking parable depicts a frighteningly plausible future where media is an opiate, history is purged and dissent is outlawed. The dystopian thriller centers on Montag (Jordan), a young fireman who forsakes his world and struggles to regain his humanity as he battles his mentor, fire captain Beatty (Shannon).
Directed by Ramin Bahrani (99 Homes), Fahrenheit 451 also stars Sofia Boutella (The Mummy), Lily Singh (Bad Moms), Laura Harrier (Spider-Man Homecoming), Martin Donovan (Ant-Man), and more.

When YouTube’s Susanne Daniels first heard the pitch for “Cobra Kai,” she wasn’t thinking “game changer” for YouTube Red, the company’s subscription programming service. “Maybe I should have been,” she said. “But I was just thinking, ‘amazing, incredible pitch.’ The stars don’t always align in a pitch and you don’t get to check off all the boxes when you hear a pitch. But in this pitch, you just did. They just came in with everything that you could want.”
But “Cobra Kai” could indeed be the breakthrough for YouTube Red in what has already been a transformative year for the platform. YouTube Red launched in October 2015 as an ad-free service to watch YouTube videos, as well as a home for exclusive, premium content starring many of YouTube’s top creators and personalities, like Lily Singh, MatPat, DanTDM and PewDiePie (whom the company later distanced itself...
