NEWS SHORTS

RENEWED! Apple TV+ orders Season 2 of Seth Rogen comedy series The Studio, set in the world of desperate movie execs, narcissistic artists and corporate overlords. Will Trump's "You must film in America" tariffs feature in the new season?
TRAGEDY One of the worst things about the Broadcast Research Council's extermination of TAMS reporting in South Africa: NO more hype or excitement around the performance of TV shows. No more TV wars, no more breathless headlines or social media posts about viewership numbers. Transparency is DEAD, leaving a vacuum of secrecy and silence.
COOL Netflix to premiere new docco series F1: The Academy - about the women's driving academy that runs concurrently with the F1 season. It was created in 2023 to get more women into motorsport and the show covers the 2024 Championship in a similar style to Drive to Survive. Produced by Academy founder Susie Wolff and Reese Witherspoon, under her Hello Sunshine production house. Premieres Wednesday 28 May. 2025's Championship airs on SuperSport on F1 weekends.
MEH What a letdown! The Last of Us has gone from a sci-fi to a schmaltzy, contrived romance in Season 2. Ellie's mediocre guitar playing and singing to serenade Dina just went on and ON in a yawn fest of over sentimentality. Joel's corpse isn't even dust yet and it's a completely different show from what it was. And what happened to Abby who killed him?! She was supposed to be the big deal of the season but she's disappeared, replaced by that new crowd who torture people naked.
BAH! The King David Studio Podcast that was supposed to premiere on SABC2 on Monday 5 May isn't starting anymore. We'll let you know if it does.
AWARDS Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk (Saul) nominated for a 2025 Tony theatre award for his portrayal of Shelly Levene in classic David Mamet play Glengarry Glen Ross, about the tragedy of a salesman who can't land leads. The role was played by Jack Lemmon in the 1992 movie.
COOL New 12th season of HISTORY's survival series Alone is set in South Africa for the first time - in the Great Karoo Desert. 10 survivalists are dropped off and left Alone, with 10 survival tools and camera equipment to document their survival as they face Cape buffalo, warthogs, scorpions, venomous snakes, baboons, wildebeest and punishing weather. The prize: $500,000. Premieres in the US in June - only airs in South Africa in October :(.
REVIEW The best show on BBC Earth right now (after Ben Fogle's long-running series): comedian Bill Bailey's Australian Adventure. Gives a unique, funny perspective on Western Australia, its history and the present, with a focus on quirky people. Excellently researched too. Lots of intriguing stuff we didn't know. Airs Fridays at 20h00, with repeats in between.
MEH Too many shows name their first episode "Pilot". It's happening again with 61st Street on Universal TV (see TVSA's New On TV Today). It's obviously the pilot episode they produced to pitch the show before it was picked up for a full season but you'd think they'd give it an enticing title once it's a done deal. Lazy!
SCHEDULE ALERT! New Afrikaans-dubbed Turkish novela Doodloopstraat (Dead end street) premieres on eExtra on Tuesday 6 May at 21h00, once Op Dun Ys ends. It's about domestic violence and the impact, on women and children. Cennet adored her husband Yilmaz, even though it was an arranged marriage, but he starts beating her after they marry - daily. She writes a letter to be opened after she dies. >>
