Updated with vote: The Senate voted today to confirm a third Democratic commissioner, telecommunications attorney Anna Gomez, to the Federal Communications Commission. The 54-43 vote gives the Dems a working majority on the FCC, which has been stuck in a 2-2- partisan deadlock.
Previously: The Senate on Thursday moved toward confirming a third Democratic commissioner to the FCC, giving the party a working majority on the commission almost three years into President Joe Biden’s presidential term.
Anna Gomez, a telecommunications attorney, was nominated by Biden last May. The Senate voted 55-43 to cut off debate and proceed to a final vote on her nomination, which will take place later on Thursday.
The FCC has been deadlocked 2-2, something that has prevented the agency from taking up more contentious issues like net neutrality rules, which were rolled back during the Republican majority of President Donald Trump’s administration.

Updated, with information on delayed vote: The Directors Guild of America is urging the Senate Commerce Committee to reject Joe Biden’s nominee to the FCC, citing Gigi Sohn’s past stances on copyright.
The committee was scheduled to take up Sohn’s nomination on Wednesday, but it will be postponed because of the absence of Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-nm), whose office announced that he suffered a stroke. He is expected to make a full recovery.
The guild sent a letter on Tuesday to its chairwoman, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-wa) objecting to the choice. In the letter obtained by Deadline (read it here), the DGA’s national executive director Russell Hollander wrote that Sohn’s “long standing record and hostility towards copyright law is inconsistent with the role of the FCC.” He argued that the agency’s role in licensing and regulation of TV, satellite and cable “implicate intellectual property.

Joe Biden’s nominee to fill a vacancy on the FCC, Gigi Sohn, faced a string of questions — from past tweets about Fox News to her role in the streaming service Locast — as she faced a Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
While most nominees to the FCC get through with relatively little turbulence, Sohn’s longtime work as a public interest advocate often put her at odds with the broadcast and telecom industry, particularly on issues like media consolidation and net neutrality.
But some on the right, including Tucker Carlson, also have seized on some of her past tweets to claim that she would use her position to try to stifle conservative voices.
In the Senate Commerce Committee hearing, Sohn responded to queries over some of her past tweets, including one from last year in which she wrote, “For all my concerns about #Facebook, I believe that Fox News has...

As some Republicans are lining up against one of President Joe Biden’s FCC nominees, Gigi Sohn, she has gained an unexpected ally: the president of One America News Network.
Charles Herring issued a statement on Wednesday endorsing Sohn’s confirmation, writing that “as an executive of an independent, family owned business of two national networks, One America News Network and Awe, I’ve found myself advocating for more open markets in an environment that is arguably a quasi monopoly. I’ve fought in the trenches side-by-side with Gigi Sohn for a number of years on multiple issues. I’m fully aware of Gigi’s personal views, yet I’m even more knowledgeable on her strong belief and advocacy for diversity in the programming lineup, especially in news, regardless of conflicts with her personal views.”

President Biden on Tuesday officially designated Jessica Rosenworcel, who has been acting FCC chair since January, to be the permanent head of the telecommunications agency.
Rosenworcel, if she’s confirmed, would be the first woman to serve as FCC chair. In addition, Biden nominated Gigi Sohn, a longtime public advocate for open and affordable telecom services and former FCC staffer, to fill the vacant commissioner post at the agency. If she is confirmed, Sohn would be the first openly Lgbtiq+ commissioner in the FCC’s history.
The appointments would give Democrats a 3-2 advantage among FCC commissioners. Both Rosenworcel and Sohn are net neutrality supporters, indicating the agency will move forward to restore the FCC’s Open Internet order that was revoked under the Trump administration.

President Joe Biden plans to name Jessica Rosenworcel as permanent chair of the FCC, while he will nominate Gigi Sohn to fill a vacancy on the commission.
Lobbyists and lawmakers have been buzzing for months over the delay in Biden’s decision over the commission, which has been deadlocked 2-2 between Republicans and Democrats since he came into office.
Rosenworcel, who has been acting chair, will be the first woman to become permanent chair of the 87-year-old commission. Biden also nominated her for an additional term.
Sohn, a longtime public interest advocate who served as counselor to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, who served during Barack Obama’s second term, had been viewed as one of the contenders for a slot on the commission.

The Federal Communications Commission will soon shift to Democratic control, and speculation has already begun about who will assume the chairmanship under the Biden administration.
Jessica Rosenworcel, the senior Democrat on the commission, is widely considered to be one of the leading candidates to succeed Ajit Pai in the powerful regulatory post. She has been vetted twice and would likely have a smooth path to confirmation, which would be a key consideration assuming the Senate remains in Republican hands.
“I think Jessica Rosenworcel probably has the best chance of becoming chair,” said John Orlando, former head of global government affairs at CBS. “The ease of her getting confirmed is far easier than anybody else.”
She also has the backing of Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. He issued a statement to Variety praising Rosenworcel’s work on net neutrality and on expanding broadband access to low-income students since she joined the commission...

With the White House set to shift parties in January, powerful regulatory agencies the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission face sweeping issues with big implications for tech and entertainment, from antitrust and privacy to net neutrality, legal immunity for Internet platforms and media-cross ownership.
“They are piling up. Many issues that we were working on a decade ago are still around — the digital divide, net neutrality, copyright — and now we have others, like looking at big tech antitrust and Section 230. We need to see policymakers step up and take action,” said Christopher Lewis, president and CEO of policy nonprofit Public Knowledge, which promotes free expression and an open Internet.
Curating Internet content, or not, is by far the noisiest issue and the most political. The right and left both have concerns about how social media platforms operate, but diametrically opposed goals: the left wants more aggressive policing,...

Frank Miller, creative comic book legend and co-creator of recent Netflix series Cursed, is certainly no stranger to controversy. Thus, he now finds himself hit by a lawsuit from a former co-producer, who’s seeking damages estimated as high as $25 million.
Stephen L’Heureux, a producer from 2014 sequel film Sin City: A Dame to Kill For—which Miller co-wrote and co-directed with Robert Rodriguez—is claiming economic interference and defamation in a suit against Miller and co-defendant Silenn Thomas, an associate producer on that picture, who was named CEO of Frank Miller Inc. this past August. However, this particular set of grievances centers on the alleged obstruction of would-be adaptation projects of Miller’s Dark Horse Comics-published titles, specifically 1990-1992 future-dystopian cyber-noir crime comic, Hard Boiled (pictured in the title image), and a Sin City television series, both of which L’Heureux claims to have paid total ownership for the developmental rights.

For “Cursed” fans who want to dig deeper into the medieval origins of the fantasy series, Netflix shared a video primer on Saturday featuring the cast breaking down the lengthy history of the characters they play on the show.
The series, based on Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler’s novel of the same name, provides an origin story for Nimue, a.k.a. the Lady of the Lake, (played by “13 Reasons Why” star Katherine Langford) and King Arthur (Devon Terrell). Throughout the series, she encounters a number of other familiar names like, Merlin, Morgana, Gawain and Lancelot, though not all of their stories on the show line up with the mythology.

The series, based on Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler’s novel of the same name, provides an origin story for Nimue, a.k.a. the Lady of the Lake, (played by “13 Reasons Why” star Katherine Langford) and King Arthur (Devon Terrell). Throughout the series, she encounters a number of other familiar names like, Merlin, Morgana, Gawain and Lancelot, though not all of their stories on the show line up with the mythology.
“The Arthur saga is more complex than your old books could make it seem,” Terrell explains in the video above. “It’s part history, it’s part myth,...

The following contains spoilers for Netflix’s Cursed. Read our spoiler-free review of the series here.
While Netflix’s Cursed focuses primarily on the story of Nimue, a young girl with a magical gift and a dark destiny as the future Lady of the Lake, it asks its audience to engage with the traditional tropes of Arthurian legend in new and interesting ways.
Cursed’s Merlin may also feel a bit strange to viewers who are only familiar with the character as the legendary wizard from film adaptations like Disney’s The Sword in the Stone, or the famous T.H. White novel it’s based on, The Once and Future King. In these – and most other – retellings, Merlin is a figure of great power and wisdom. His magical abilities are substantial and he’s generally depicted as a sort of all-seeing sage, who engineers the birth of Arthur and the...

Ever since the turn of the millennium, movies and TV shows based on either comic books or graphic novels have proven to be hugely popular, and in recent months Netflix have finally caught on and doubled down on the genre, with several of their highest-profile recent originals being page-to-screen adaptations.
Extraction became the streaming giant’s biggest original movie ever after the Russo brothers adapted their own Ciudad, while The Old Guard continues to dominate and is set to join Chris Hemworth’s actioner on the list of most-watched in-house projects, along with the live-action take on Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler’s illustrated novel Cursed that has been generating some very healthy buzz since it was released yesterday.
Having already been predicted for success after gaining early and hugely favorable comparisons to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Warrior Nun did not disappoint and grabbed the internet’s attention when it...

Netflix has plumbed the depths of teen TV. They have shows about autistic high schoolers and British sexuality and a girl who can explode football players with her brain. But they don’t often venture into full-tilt, high-budget fantasy yet. Their female protagonists rarely wield swords. Enter “Cursed,” the streaming service’s first dalliance with Arthurian legend.

If you’re a Netflix subscriber, you’re probably not hurting for fantastic new content to binge. This month alone has been absolutely killer, with the service dropping the Charlize Theron action flick The Old Guard alongside a host of classic films like Total Recall, Million Dollar Baby and the original The Karate Kid trilogy. As if that’s not enough, the end of July will see the long-awaited second season of the quirky superhero family series The Umbrella Academy, which by itself would make for a worthy month to be a Netflix user.
Of course, there was a short drought of new movies and shows this past weekend, but the last few days have seen the platform back in action with some pretty good stuff. Luckily, that trend doesn’t seem to be stopping, as today marks another Netflix content drop, and there’s at least one major new...

In “Cursed,” a new Netflix series that restages the Arthurian legend with a contemporary sensibility, Katherine Langford plays Nimue, a young woman whose sense of righteousness is inflected by, and inflamed with, a destiny to lead her people through a time of upheaval. At one point, a rival of sorts refers to her by the title “the Wolf Blood Witch, dreaded wielder of the Devil’s Tooth”; heard a certain way, it’s reminiscent of the many titles held by Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) on “Game of Thrones.”
“Cursed” has less on its mind than its predecessor in the sword-and-sorcery space, and its visual effects are notably less convincing. Yet it slots neatly into the new tradition of genre television that subverts classic myth and aspires to cross over — in this case, presenting Langford, the star of “13 Reasons Why,” as a draw for nascent fantasy fans.

When I met the cast and creators of Cursed last summer, it was clear everyone was proud of the show they were producing. It made sense. As I walked through realistic stone castles, explored a lush, overgrown forest, and poked my head into Merlin's sleeping quarters, it was impossible not to get excited. There we were, in a huge warehouse in Slough - a town an hour west of London - with mythical creatures lounging on plastic chairs as they waited to be called to set, and cast members (like Devon Terrell and Billy Jenkins) casually joking with media between takes, all while smattered with blood, sweat, and dirt. Just an average day on the set of Netflix's latest fantasy series.
I expected to see the incredible costumes, hear about epic fight scenes, and get a glimpse into the world of the talented people who create the special-effect makeup.

Netflix’s Cursed will (rightly) generate a lot of buzz for the way it injects a much-needed female perspective into the traditionally male world of Arthurian legend. The series gives a voice to a largely unexplored female character by focusing on the story of Fey girl Nimue, who is destined to one day become the Lady of the Lake. But in doing so, it also reimagines our understanding of Arthur himself, putting a fresh, new spin on a centuries-old figure.
The Arthur we first meet in Cursed isn’t exactly what you’d call once and future king material. A young mercenary for hire, initially he seems to be little more than a hustler looking out for his own ends. That this is a significant departure from the stories we generally know, to put it mildly.
Traditionally, Arthur is generally presented as the noblest of terms, either as a legendary...

Netflix’s new fantasy drama Cursed is an Arthurian retelling that asks an intriguing – and long overdue – question: What if the central figure of the story is a woman, instead of a man?
For while there are several familiar female figures in the various legends of King Arthur, they’re not generally presented as the drivers of the action. Instead, they tend to live largely at the margins of stories about men, popping up just in time to fall in love, get kidnapped, or give birth to a son with a destiny that far outstrips their own.
Cursed attempts to bring a feminist perspective to this traditionally very male story, by placing a woman at its center who rarely gets her due: The Lady of the Lake. Often known as Nimue – or Niniane, or Viviane, or nothing at all, depending on who you read – she’s a powerful enchantress who...

The Witcher was a huge hit for Netflix. Arriving at a time when everyone had a massive, Game of Thrones-shaped hole in their viewing schedule, people were craving another fantasy series with high production values to get stuck into, and that’s exactly what they got with the streaming site’s adaptation of the beloved novels by Andrzej Sapkowski.
But with The Witcher now on hiatus until season 2 arrives – and no word on an official premiere date just yet – folks are hungry for more fantasy. Especially as a lot of people are still stuck at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. Thankfully, then, Netflix is here to save us, with their new Witcher wannabe show set to drop on the platform this Friday.

Most of us know the legend of King Arthur – at least, in broad strokes. A legendary British leader who rules over the kingdom of Camelot, Arthur builds a legacy of justice and equality with the help of a sword called Excalibur and a wizard named Merlin.
In actuality, there are dozens of versions of the Arthur myth, many of which both contradict and complement one another in various ways. In some, Arthur is a warrior who defeats the Saxons, in others, he battles supernatural enemies and is betrayed by his own nephew. In several, he’s the epitome of a Christian king, who encourages his knights to seek the very chalice that Jesus himself used, even as he himself is deceived by those closest to him. In still more, he takes a back seat to familiar medieval romance figures like Lancelot, Percival, Galahad, and Yvain.

If you're a fan of 13 Reasons Why, Knives Out, or teen rom-coms like Love, Simon, then you're probably familiar with the name Katherine Langford. When she debuted as Hannah Baker in the 2017 premiere of Netflix's breakout drama 13 Reasons Why, Langford immediately cemented her place in the entertainment industry, and she hasn't slowed down since.
Now, she's stepping outside the Hannah Baker-shaped box and taking on a new challenge in Netflix's latest Ya fantasy series, Cursed. Based on Arthurian legend, Langford plays Nimue, a teenager with a mysterious and magical gift and who's destined to become the Lady of the Lake. The series picks up when the Red Paladins invade her village, killing everyone she's ever known, including her mother. But before her mother dies, she tasks Nimue with delivering an ancient sword to Merlin, and along the way, she meets the young mercenary Arthur (Devon Terrell). Needless to say,...
