Black Adam‘s Noah Centineo is ready to engage in more action by starring in The Recruit for Netflix. Created by Alexi Hawley, who executive produces and showruns the series, The Recruit is an action-packed political thriller with enemies of the state closing in on all sides.

Another NFL season brings with it another attempt to kick off a national spring football league in the months that follow. But a spring football league slated to launch next year will debut with significant media firepower behind it.
The Xfl, the nascent football league controlled by professional-wrestling impresario Vince McMahon, will debut in February of next year with a good chunk of games that are slated to air on two of TV’s most watched networks, Fox and ABC. In all, 25 games will air on national broadcast, the Xfl said Tuesday, with others slated to air on ESPN and ESPN2, which, like ABC, are controlled by Walt Disney Co. The eight-team league will play a ten-week season.
Fox has already committed an on-air team consisting of Curt Menefee, a veteran of the booth. and Joel Klatt, its lead college football analyst. ABC’s team will be named at a later date.

Early on its first season, the Alliance of American Football seemed to be on the verge of scoring a pop-culture touchdown. An initial broadcast on CBS featuring games between the San Diego Fleet and the San Antonio Commanders, and the Atlanta Legends against the Orlando Apollos notched nearly 3 million viewers and fared quite well against an NBA telecast on ABC.
Last night, however, the Aaf’s game was called early.
In a statement released Tuesday, league co-founder Bill Polian said he was disappointed that Tom Dundon, the Carolina Hurricanes owner who took over the league early in its season, “has decided to suspend all football operations of the Alliance of American Football.” Dundon had injected $250 million into the operation, essentially taking it over from Polian and his co-founder Charlie Ebersol, a son of the former NBC Sports chief Dick Ebersol. A spokesman for the Aaf could not be reached for immediate comment on Wednesday.

The Alliance of American Football, an off-season upstart looking to offer a complementary spring alternative to the NFL has suspended operations after just eight weeks of games.
Bill Polian, a former NFL Gm who co-founded the Aaf with Charlie Ebersol, said the new league’s chief investor, Tom Dundon, had decided to pull the plug for a range of reasons. CBS, the NFL Network and Turner Sports’ B/R Live streaming service had carried games since the league opened its doors in February, but ratings had been soft and the Aaf faced a host of other operational issues.
Dundon, who owns the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes, pledged to inject $250 million into the new venture but decided the NFL Players Association’s reluctance to allow its members to practice with Aaf teams was a dealbeaker. Attracting talent was destined to be the tallest hurdle for the new league, just as it...

Eight weeks into its inaugural season, the Alliance of American Football has suspended its operations.
“I am extremely disappointed to learn Tom Dundon has decided to suspend all football operations of the Alliance of American Football,” Bill Polian, who co-founded the league with Charlie Ebersol, said in a statement Tuesday.
“When Mr. Dundon took over, it was the belief of my co-founder, Charlie Ebersol, and myself that we would finish the season, pay our creditors, and make the necessary adjustments to move forward in a manner that made economic sense for all. The momentum generated by our players, coaches and football staff had us well positioned for future success. Regrettably, we will not have that opportunity.”

Representatives for the Aaf did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment.
“I am extremely disappointed to learn Tom Dundon has decided to suspend all football operations of the Alliance of American Football,” Bill Polian, who co-founded the league with Charlie Ebersol, said in a statement Tuesday.
“When Mr. Dundon took over, it was the belief of my co-founder, Charlie Ebersol, and myself that we would finish the season, pay our creditors, and make the necessary adjustments to move forward in a manner that made economic sense for all. The momentum generated by our players, coaches and football staff had us well positioned for future success. Regrettably, we will not have that opportunity.”

The Super Bowl ended days ago. Are you ready for some football?
Charlie Ebersol hopes so. He will this Saturday kick off a new era of professional spring football, even though the recent history of U.S. sports is littered with scrapped attempts to give gridiron fans more of their favorite game. Ebersol – and TV partners like CBS and At&T – are betting that his Alliance of American Football can succeed where others have not.
“I was dropped on my head a number of times when I was a kid,” Ebersol quips in an interview. “I don’t like doing anything that doesn’t scare me to death.”
A number of deep-pocketed entities and big media outlets are eager to add more football to the average American sports diet. CBS this Saturday will open a series of primetime broadcasts from the Alliance, a new league co-founded by Ebersol, son of sports-tv great Dick Ebersol,...

Last Week’S Podcast: ‘Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’ Producers on Adjusting to the Trump Era — IndieWire’s Turn It On Podcast
CBS’ new comedy “Superior Donuts” is part of a new wave of multi-camera sitcoms with something to say.
Comedian Jermaine Fowler and executive producer Bob Daily are taking advantage of that mandate, infusing their new show with biting commentary on everything, including gentrification, police brutality, Muslims in America, and the Trump era.
“Superior Donuts” began life as a stage play in 2008, written by playwright and actor Tracy Letts. The story, about an Arthur, an aging donut shop owner, and his new assistant, a young African-American man worried about his neighborhood’s fast gentrification, eventually moved to Broadway. The New York Times compared the play to a 1970s comedy, so it only makes sense that CBS decided to adapt the show.
