Rhythm+Flow Heads to Italy |
|
RHYTHM + FLOW ITALY, the rap show produced by Fremantle, is back only on Netflix with its third season, every Monday starting June 22. The new season includes nine episodes, one more than in the previous seasons, and brings an even stronger judging lineup. Joining the now-iconic judges Fabri Fibra, Geolier and Rose Villain is another legend of the scene: Guè officially becomes part of the team to raise the bar even higher and discover the next stars of Italian rap. The first four episodes - available from Monday, June 22 - introduce a completely new structure: the judges come together for the auditions, launching this year's search for the best emerging rappers through original tracks and freestyle battles. To complete the scouting process, Fabri Fibra, Geolier, Rose Villain and Guè will head to Lugano, Bologna and Milan to discover new talents, joined by some of the leading figures of the urban scene. Following the final auditions, selected contestants will compete in the next four episodes - available from Monday, June 29 - across a series of escalating challenges, including cypher, a sample-based format, a major new feature of this edition, music videos and featurings. Only the best will make it through to the final on Monday, July 6, where the artists will face off other one last time and just one will win the €100,000 prize. The third season of RHYTHM + FLOW ITALY, produced by Fremantle Italia, is written by Marco Curti, Matteo Lenardon, Paola Papa and Sonia Soldera, with Alessandra Colombo, Vincenzo Maiorana and Alessandra Tomaselli, and directed by Alessio Muzi. The first two seasons of RHYTHM + FLOW ITALY have truly made their mark: the original tracks by contestants who reached the final stages of the show (music videos and finale) have reached a total of almost one billion streams across all music and social platforms. These numbers confirm that the show has become one of the most popular showcases for Italian rap, capable of discovering new and promising talents. |

$1.6 Million? Now THAT's a Game Changer! |
|
Everyone knows that Sam Reich makes up the scoring system of Game Changer as he goes along, but 1,664,928 (and counting) is a ridiculous number even by his standards. After years of delighting improv nerds and D&D geeks with numerous live-action roleplaying series, the independent comedy streaming service Dropout is finally ready to take over game night with Game Changer: Home Edition, its first-ever party game based on the company’s flagship game show. Dropout announced the Kickstarter campaign that will support the launch of Game Changer: Home Edition earlier today in a teaser video that aptly nodded to predecessors in the comedic party game space like Cards Against Humanity while giving Reich his viewer-recommended dose of physical abuse by his own employees. Within minutes, Dropout reached its modest goal of $40,000 raised – and within hours, the ravenous Dropout fandom broke seven figures with their donations/preorders, suggesting that Reich and his ragtag crew of ethical comedians probably should have started selling board games a long time ago. |

SAG-AFTRA, AMPTP Come to Terms |
|
SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have nailed down a new contract. Of course, until this is voted on by some 160,000 members of the actors’ guild, everything will remain tentative for the time being. Yet, with AI protections, a four-year agreement and a bumping up of the guild pension fund now semi-written-in-stone, this agreement with undoubtedly follow getting an approval just like the recent WGA one did. In a statement, the guild noted the deal is now heading to its national board for review, which will meet in the coming days to go over terms. Per procedure, specific details will not be revealed in advance of the review. “SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement on terms for a successor contract to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical Contracts covering motion pictures, scripted primetime dramatic television, streaming content and new media,” SAG-AFTRA said in a statement posted to its website. Negotiations began Feb. 9 and recessed March 15 to make way for the WGA’s earlier deal. Talks resumed April 27 and concluded May 2. As Deadline reported earlier, labor sources said that SAG-AFTRA has received a “sizable” contribution to its pension fund from the AMPTP. This follows the WGA, which similarly agreed to an extended-length contract with the studios and streamers last month in its own negotiations, accepting a multi-million contribution to its ailing healthcare plan. As with the WGA, there were a series of AI “guardrail” measures put in place between the SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP parties. The news comes after last week’s resumption of talks between SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, after the guild had previously paused negotiations to make way for the WGA in March. Both guild and union sources had told Deadline that they were not far off from a deal, but a few key issues — including regarding AI measures — still needed to be ironed out. |

Tubi Asks "Why Are You Single?" |
|
Tubi has picked up the first season of Why Are You Single?, a dating game show hosted by comedian Marie Faustin, which she co-created and exec produces alongside Dave Mizzoni, with All Things Comedy as studio partner. In each episode of the show, streaming for free on Tubi later this year, Faustin introduces a hero single dater while seeking to answer the rhetorical question, “why are you single?“. Joining our single are four potential suitors, who each unveil their dating history, as well. As the contestants’ dating past unravels, Faustin and the live audience hand out red flags that force our dater to decide which contestant is worth the baggage. “I can’t wait for the world to see what we’ve created in Brooklyn, with Why Are You Single?…because everyone deserves love but more importantly, they deserve to laugh,” Faustin said in a report. Faustin and Mizzoni have been performing and developing the format for Why Are You Single? on stage since 2023. The first three episodes will be filmed live at The Bell House in Brooklyn on May 21st and 22nd. All Things Comedy produces the series, with Cassie Lambert Scalettar set as showrunner, EP and director for the first season. ATC’s Co-CEOs Billy Rosenberg and Drew Eller are exec producing on behalf of the company, along with Head of Finance and Production Drew Agan, with ATC’s Chance Nichols and Lauren Midler overseeing for the studio. Why Are You Single? marks All Things Comedy’s second unscripted series, produced and co-created with comedians, that we’ve announced recently, following the recent filming of The Bad Game Show with the Bad Friends podcast’s Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino. |

Fox On the Market |
|
FOX flips the script on dating with its bold new series Marriage Market, where real singles ready for marriage relinquish total control of their love lives to their closest family members, who marry them off at a market like no other! From FOX Entertainment Studios, Marriage Market is an original FOX-owned unscripted series that is slated for FOX's 2026-27 Season. Hosted by actress, comedian, and podcaster Whitney Cummings, the series welcomes singles - who are officially over swiping, ghosting, and endless first dates - into an actual Marriage Market, where they're up for trying something radical... putting their love lives in the hands of family members that know them best and risking it all for one shot at forever - in an arranged marriage. Filled with humor, heart, heartbreak, and unpredictable outcomes, Marriage Market is a one-of-a-kind, immersive matchmaking experience where families come together with one goal in mind: helping their single family member find a meaningful, lasting match. Inside this vibrant, real-world setting, families meet, connect, and advocate for their loved one as they search for a perfect partner. The rules are simple. When two families believe they've found a match, their singles are introduced and engaged on the spot - with the ultimate goal of making it to the altar. From there, the couples and their families move in together, navigating real-life compatibility, big personalities, and even bigger expectations. At any point, each of the newly matched singles' families can decide they've found them "the one," or send their single loved one back into the Marriage Market for another chance at finding them love. "Marriage Market gives all new meaning to shotgun wedding, turning dating on its head with one of the most extreme marketplace spectacles you've ever seen,'" said Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network. "Watching families come together to make these matches is deeply relatable and wildly emotional, giving this distinctive concept all the ingredients of a signature FOX unscripted series." "Marriage Market is a bold new format that reflects our strategy of creating distinctive IP that take the kind of big and culturally relevant risks that viewers love," said Allison Wallach, Head of Unscripted, FOX Entertainment Studios. "We've taken a timeless idea and reimagined it in a modern, high-stakes way with the families in full control and the talented, always funny Whitney Cummings presiding over it all as host." Marriage Market is produced by FOX Entertainment Studios and will be distributed worldwide by FOX Entertainment Global. The series is executive produced by Alycia Rossiter and John Carr, with Rossiter serving as showrunner. |

"Dancing with the Stars" Renewed and Casting! |
|
Dancing with the Stars will return for Season 35, and ABC is already giving viewers a taste of what to expect this fall. The Traitors and Love Island breakout Maura Higgins and Summer House favorite Ciara Miller will both compete on the upcoming season of DWTS, the network revealed at Disney’s Get Real unscripted TV event on Wednesday. Higgins originally broke out of Love Island UK in 2019 but rose to greater celebrity last year as one of the stars of Peacock‘s The Traitors US. As a dedicated Faithful, her allegiance to Love Island USA star Rob Rausch got her to the finale only to leave empty handed when she found out he was, in fact, a Traitor. Miller also previously appeared on The Traitors US, but she is best known for her role for the last five seasons on Bravo‘s Summer House. There’s been some recent drama surrounding Season 10 of the popular unscripted series. Rumors began circulating in recent months as the episodes aired that Miller’s confidante Amanda Batula might have betrayed her by becoming romantically involved with Miller’s ex-boyfriend West Wilson. Batula and Wilson later confirmed the relationship, sending shockwaves through the Bravoverse. It will undoubtedly be a topic of conversation at the upcoming Season 10 reunion, where Batula recently vowed she will “be addressing any and all questions honestly and directly”. Dancing with the Stars exploded in popularity last season, raking in its largest audience in years driven by interest from younger viewers. In November, Season 34 posted the show’s highest-rated finale in nearly a decade. The series is produced by BBC Studios. Conrad Green serves as showrunner and executive producer. Ryan O’Dowd, Krystal Whitney, Alex Cross and Jenny Groom are executive producers. Deena Katz and Quinn Lipton are co-executive producers. |
