Season 2 of “The Afterparty” may not be eligible at the Emmys until next year, but it could very well help one of its cast members prevail for a completely different show at the 2023 awards (that will be held in 2024).
Paul Walter Hauser has been the odds-on favorite to take home the Best Limited Series/TV Movie Supporting Actor prize for Apple TV+’s “Black Bird” basically all season long. And for good reason. He has triumphed at almost every occasion leading up to the Emmys, having raked in wins at the Critics Choice and Golden Globe Awards. His only loss so far has been at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, where he fell to “1883” star Sam Elliott, but he was always going to have a tough time claiming the victory there as the lone supporting player in the single limited series/TV movie actor lineup who was also up...

Ray Liotta was honored Wednesday morning with a posthumous Emmy nomination for his work on Apple TV+’s “Black Bird,” an occasion that “would mean the world to him,” his daughter said.
Addressing the recognition, which marks Liotta’s first nomination since winning a Primetime Emmy for his guest work on “ER” in 2005, the late actor’s daughter Karsen Liotta said in a statement to press, “I am so grateful to the members of the Television Academy for honoring my Dad with this nomination. He was so incredibly proud of his performance in ‘Black Bird,’ and it would mean the world to him to be nominated alongside Taron and Paul.”
Liotta, whose performance as Big Jim Keene also earned him a posthumous Critics Choice Award nomination earlier this year, died May 26, 2022 — just two months before the true crime limited series premiered on Apple TV+.

Four years ago, Taron Egerton revealed on “Watch What Happens Live” that his celebrity crush was Rachel Weisz. But he probably never thought anyone would tell her. When we surprise them both with the clip during this conversation, Egerton turns bright red with embarrassment. Beyond that connection, both actors have stretched to new heights on streaming shows this TV season. Weisz portrays identical twin gynecologists Elliot and Beverly in the Amazon Prime Video drama “Dead Ringers,” based on the 1988 David Cronenberg film starring Jeremy Irons. And Egerton gets jacked as prisoner James Keene, a former college football star arrested on drug charges, in Apple TV+’s “Black Bird.”
Taron Egerton: I love your show. I thought I’d start by asking about the genesis of it and whether it came from you or the amazing Alice Birch.
Rachel Weisz: She is incredible, Alice Birch, the writer and showrunner.

While it is easy to understand why audiences seek the thrills and chills of watching murderous characters on TV, it can be a bit harder to understand why creatives would put themselves through hell and back to deliver well-executed depravity that, at its best, morphs into something more poignant.
For Dominique Fishback, star of Prime Video’s “Swarm,” a pitch-black comedy about an obsessed music fan that leans into the “Killer” part of being a Killer Bee, the role of Dre was an opportunity to shirk expectations. “I was very used to playing characters who were considered lovable or likable or easier to put your arm around,” said the actress who, outside of her BAFTA Award-nominated supporting role in “Judas and the Black Messiah,” had been mostly cast as plucky teens. “I didn’t wanna get imprisoned by my own artistry or my own fears that I would disappoint anybody...

Curated by the IndieWire Crafts team, Craft Considerations is a platform for filmmakers to talk about recent work we believe is worthy of awards consideration. In partnership with Apple TV+, for this edition, we look at how the editing, cinematography, and sound created the pulsing drama “Black Bird.”
Adapted from the book “In with the Devil” by James Keene and Hillel Levin, the Apple TV+ limited series “Black Bird” shines a disturbing light on murderer, rapist, and suspected serial killer Larry Hall, who preyed on girls and women during the 1980s and ‘90s. Show creator Dennis Lehane (“Gone Baby Gone”) unravels the story, based on actual events, through a gripping, character-driven six episodes that redefine the psychological crime thriller genre.
The narrative examines the male psyche through the eyes of Hall (Paul Walter Hauser) and Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton), a high school football star turned con serving 10 years without parole...

The limited series/TV movie acting races have been some of the most interesting to watch in recent years. But with HBO’s “The White Lotus” moving into drama this year (everything is a limited series until it isn’t), the field is a bit less crowded and a little less predetermined. This is good news for everyone, but especially Daniel Radcliffe, whose good standings in the odds for Best Limited Series/TV Movie Actor becomes even more impressive when one considers he’s eligible for a performance in a TV movie, a format that has largely been abandoned by networks in favor of limited series.
Radcliffe is in contention for his performance in Roku’s satirical movie “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” in which he brings to life a fictionalized version of singer and accordionist Alfred “Weird Al” Yankovic, who co-wrote the screenplay. The film, which is very loosely based on Yankovic’s life,...

After breaking into the comedy series and drama series categories at the Emmys, thanks to “Ted Lasso” and “Severance,” respectively, Apple TV+ is now finally expected to foray into the limited series race with “Black Bird.”
The six-part crime drama currently sits in third place in our limited series odds, behind only “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” and “Fleishman Is in Trouble”. The show, which premiered last summer, is one of the most critically acclaimed limited series of this Emmy cycle so far, with a Rotten Tomatoes approval rating of 97 percent (based on 79 reviews) and a Metacritic score of 80 (based on 29 reviews), whose early release has given it a head start in the race. While it was shut out of all major guilds sans the Screen Actors Guild Awards — where it nabbed bids for Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser — over the winter, it did receive noms from...

The new season of the true-crime series Very Scary People will premiere on Sunday, April 16, 2023 on its new home, Investigation Discovery. Donnie Wahlberg (Blue Bloods) will return as host and executive producer.
“I could not be more excited for a new season of Very Scary People to air on Investigation Discovery,” stated Wahlberg. “With each episode, we bring new insights into the lives of terrifying criminals to create awareness and hope this knowledge helps prevent similar crimes from happening in the future.”
The new season will kick off with “The Trailside Killer” which delves into serial killer David Carpenter. Per Investigation Discovery: “From 1979 to 1981, Carpenter terrorized Northern California’s typically tranquil hiking trails, shocking the quiet community surrounding them with his cold-blooded violence and led local authorities on a twisted and challenging investigation to bring him to justice.”

SAG Awards nominee profile: Taron Egerton (‘Black Bird’) would be third youngest male TV winner ever
Just last year, Michael Keaton’s Screen Actors Guild Award victory for “Dopesick” made him the fifth man to win the organization’s Best TV Movie/Miniseries Actor prize after losing on his first lead film bid (for 2014’s “Birdman”). Now, since Taron Egerton has earned guild recognition for Apple TV+’s “Black Bird” after coming up short on his nomination for the 2019 film “Rocketman,” the group is already on the verge of gaining its sixth member. If he triumphs on this outing, the 33-year-old will also follow comedy champ Sean Hayes and limited series victor Darren Criss as the third youngest man to ever win an individual SAG Award for TV acting.
The four actors who preceded Keaton in eventually spinning their initial lead film losses into TV movie or miniseries wins were Paul Newman, Kevin Kline, Paul Giamatti and Bryan Cranston. Keaton and Giamatti stand apart from the...

After turning in many worthy performances across film and television for nearly two decades with no nominations to show for it, Paul Walter Hauser finally landed his first individual Screen Actors Guild Award bid this year. He is nominated for his chilling turn as suspected serial killer Larry Hall on Apple TV+’s “Black Bird” in the limited series/TV movie actor category. If Hauser prevails at the ceremony on February 26, he will have another statuette to, uh, lock up in his trophy case beside his Critics Choice Award and Golden Globe Award for the same role.

Paul Walter Hauser won Best Supporting Actor in a Television Limited Series/Motion Picture at the Golden Globes on Tuesday (10 January).
The actor starred as the American murderer, rapist, and suspected serial killer Larry Hall in Apple TV’s Blackbird.
On accepting his award, Hauser thanked numerous members of the cast. However, he failed to mention the show’s lead, Taron Egerton, who played one-time Chicago drug dealer James Keene.
It’s unclear whether the actor’s omission was deliberate, though, as he did hug Egerton after he was announced as winner.
On Twitter, fans pointed out that Hauser had failed to mention his costar.
“Of all the cast, did dude forget to thank Taron Egerton???” One asked.

Of the three former film acting Golden Globe winners currently in the running for the Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actor award, only Taron Egerton (“Black Bird”) has a chance to set a new record as the youngest man to ever be honored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for both big and small screen work. This distinction has been held since 1988 by Robin Williams, who was 28 when he won Best TV Comedy Actor for “Mork & Mindy” and 36 when he clinched his first Best Film Comedy/Musical Actor trophy for “Good Morning, Vietnam.” Egerton, who won the same film award for “Rocketman” in 2020, would displace Williams by a margin of more than three years.
On Apple TV+’s “Black Bird,” Egerton plays James Keene, an incarcerated drug dealer who agrees to work a confession out of serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser) in exchange for a shorter sentence.

With DGA voting underway, clear frontrunners emerge. There are past nominees whose work on ongoing series merits recognition once more, like Bill Hader with “Barry,” Lucia Aniello for “Hacks,” or Donald Glover with “Atlanta”. Then there are directors whose most recent work on new programs has already been honored elsewhere and is likely to be honored again at the DGAs.

For the sixth year in a row, the Best TV Movie/Limited Series Golden Globe category includes no movies at all. Amazon Prime Video’s “The Underground Railroad” took the prize last year, but the streamer does not have a horse in the current race. This year, either “The Dropout” or “Pam and Tommy” can bring Hulu its first win of this kind, while “Black Bird” can do the same for Apple TV+. “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” could follow “The Queen’s Gambit” as the second Netflix show to triumph here, while “The White Lotus” could raise HBO’s Best TV Movie/Limited Series win total to 20. Which of these five programs do you think most deserves to prevail? Vote in our Best Limited Series Golden Globe poll below and then sound off in the comments and in our forums.

"Black Bird" is one of the most intense and finely crafted true crime stories of the year. The series made by "Mystic River" writer Dennis Lehane has a lot going for it, from subtle scripts that ratchet up the intensity of the serial killer-centric story without ever feeling exploitative, to explosively great performances from Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser. Egerton's cocky criminal Jimmy Keene is countered at every step by the man he's supposed to be talking into a confession in prison, alleged serial killer Larry Hall (Hauser). The pair's dynamic is anything but simple, and the series lets it unfold steadily across its six compelling episodes.
The Apple TV+ series also features the last performance from Ray Liotta, who, as Jimmy's sick father, motivates him to take a deal as a federal informant purposely placed in prison alongside Hall. The whole series sounds like a case of truth being stranger than fiction,...

The acclaimed novelist and screenwriter Dennis Lehane has often tackled stories about complicated men and the criminal underworld, but up to a point. For instance, he doesn’t like serial killers or stories about prison. So when he first started reading James Keene’s true-crime memoir In With The Devil: A Fallen Hero, A Serial Killer, and A Dangerous Bargain for Redemption, the book didn’t seem like something he’d want to adapt. After all, it focuses on Keene’s stint in a federal prison, where he tried to get a suspected serial killer named Larry Hall to confess to his crimes.

There are a lot of different techniques and strategies on which actor Paul Walter Hauser leaned to prepare for his transformative turn as (suspected) real-life serial killer Larry Hall on the Apple TV+ miniseries “Black Bird.” But chief among them, the actor divulges in a recent webchat with Gold Derby, was “people-watching” (watch the full exclusive video interview above).
“I think some of the best stuff that I’ve tried to do or that people have said they liked — I’m ripping it from somebody I saw at the airport, some dude I stood next to at a urinal, or literally [fellow actor] Vincent D’Onofrio,” admits Hauser. “To play [Hall], I studied D’Onofrio in ‘Full Metal Jacket.’ There were just a couple of things I aped. One of them is that kind of Kubrick stare, the famous long, soulless, soul-being-sucked-out stare.”

Since 1988, Robin Williams has held the distinction of being the youngest man to receive Golden Globes for both film and TV acting. He set this record at age 36 by taking that year’s Best Film Comedy Actor prize for “Good Morning, Vietnam” after having already won Best TV Comedy Actor for “Mork & Mindy” when he was 28. Now, over three decades later, there is a strong chance he will finally be displaced by 33-year-old Taron Egerton, the Best Film Comedy Actor-winning star of “Rocketman” who is looking to pull off a TV triumph for “Black Bird.”
Egerton stars on the Apple TV+ limited series “Black Bird” as James Keene, an incarcerated drug dealer who agrees to work a confession out of serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser) in exchange for a shorter sentence. He is presently in a solid second place position in Gold Derby’s Best TV Movie...

Despite finding success in the comedy and drama TV categories, thanks to “Ted Lasso” and “The Morning Show,” respectively, Apple TV+ has yet to break into the limited series/TV movie races at the Golden Globes. Now, it might have finally booked its ticket with the miniseries “Black Bird,” which is expected to be admitted three times over, per our combined odds, for series, actor (Taron Egerton) and supporting actor (Paul Walter Hauser).
Based on James Keene and Hillel Levin‘s 2010 memoir “In with the Devil: A Fallen Hero, a Serial Killer, and a Dangerous Bargain for Redemption,” the six-part series follows Keene (Egerton), a one-time high school football star and decorated policeman’s son-turned-drug dealer, as he is sentenced to 10 years in a minimum security prison and presented with a unique choice: Either he enters a maximum security prison for the criminally insane, befriends suspected serial killer Larry Hall...

Spoiler Alert: The following story contains details from Friday’s Black Bird series finale.
When Apple TV+’s six-episode psychological thriller Black Bird reached its conclusion on Friday, one of the criminals at its center was redeemed—the other, condemned.
The episode titled “You Promised” finds drug dealer turned FBI informant Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton) getting increasingly aggressive, in his quest to get answers out of Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser)—the serial confessor revealed to be a serial killer, who won’t reveal where his bodies are buried.
In a bid to get home to his ailing father Big Jim (Ray Liotta), who in this episode is seen suffering a stroke, Jimmy looks to use Larry’s ego against him via a bit of reverse psychology. Larry, he says, is a liar—a teller of tall tales full of rapes and murders that he hasn’t, in fact, committed.

When Kary Antholis in 2019 stepped down as President, HBO Miniseries and Cinemax Programming, to launch Crime Story Media, his exit package included him staying on as executive producer on projects he had developed at the network that tackle crime and criminal justice. That included David Simon and George Pelecanos’ limited series We Own This City, which premiered April 25, and Dennis Lehane’s Black Bird, which ended up moving to Apple TV+. Headlined by Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser and featuring Ray Liotta in his final TV role, the series premieres July 8.

Life is a series of trials and errors — where, if you’re lucky, you can follow your passions from one interest to the next until you’ve amassed a wealth of experiences. Dennis Lehane, an award-winning novelist, playwright, producer, and screenwriter, has done just that, carving out an enviable career across a wide swath of the entertainment industry. His novels have been adapted into movies; his movies have gone on to critical acclaim; his TV work elevated some of this century’s best shows.
But for years, the next item on Lehane’s to-do list was showrunning. The writer behind episodes of “The Wire” and “Boardwalk Empire” had tried, multiple times, to develop and run his own series, but greater forces kept his dream at a distance.
Now, with the Apple TV+ six-part limited series “Black Bird,” Lehane can add that key credit to his resume — and better yet, even as a first-time showrunner,...

Taron Egerton has revealed that he has been in talks with Kevin Feige and other Marvel Studio executives about taking on the role of Wolverine, previously brought to screen by Hugh Jackman.
The Rocketman star told The New York Times about his desire to pick up the baton from Jackman and play the character central to both the X-Men and Avengers franchises.
Egerton said: “I don’t think it would be wrong to say that. I’d be excited but I’d be apprehensive as well, because Hugh is so associated with the role that I’d wonder if it’d be very difficult for someone else to do it.
“But hopefully if it does come around, they’ll give me a shot.”
Egerton, who got his big break in Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service in 2014, has previously co-starred with Jackman in 2016’s Eddie the Eagle.

It’s been one month since Ray Liotta died on May 26, and fans are still able to see him on screen one more time.
The late “Goodfellas” icon passed away in his sleep at age 67 while filming “Dangerous Waters” in the Dominican Republic. One of Liotta’s final screen credits is the AppleTV+ limited series “Black Bird” co-starring Taron Egerton, which premieres July 8.
While promoting the series on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Egerton opened up about working with his “hero” Liotta.
“Sometimes actors can be…we’re a weird bunch, we do weird stuff, so I thought I’d leave him to it, give him his space, and across the room he sort of caught my eye and just stood up, walked towards me in a sort of frail way,” the “Rocketman” alum said. “He’s in ailing health in the show, and he just embraced me, and we stayed that way for a little while.

Like so much of Dennis Lehane’s writing, “Black Bird” is a stealthy piece of storytelling — at first appearing like a simple crow, nested comfortably on the power line next to a dozen others like it, before spreading its wings and revealing a plumage streaked with shades of gray. For decades now, the novelist and screenwriter has married shrewd sociological observations with popular genre fare. His Kenzie/Gennaro series, peaking with “Gone Baby Gone” and its impossible question of how to best care for at-risk children, is stacked with similar quandaries rooted in morality, responsibility, and the public good. This perspective felt right at home on “The Wire,” which Lehane joined in Seasons 3 and 4, before “Boardwalk Empire,” “Mr. Mercedes,” and “The Outsider,” among other uncredited TV jobs, film scripts, and a steady output of new books.
“Black Bird,” his first series as showrunner and developer, alludes to its complementary components from the very start.

Taron Egerton is going deep undercover as a snitch in maximum security prison to entice a confession out of a suspected serial killer in a bid for his own early release in the trailer for “Black Bird.”
The Apple TV+ series, which debuts with two episodes on July 8, finds Egerton playing Jimmy Keene, a decorated policeman’s son (Ray Liotta), who is sentenced to 10 years behind bars. But, with the authorities needing help in solving a series of gruesome murders, and suspect Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser) in supermax, Keene is offered the opportunity to go to the prison for the criminally insane, and elicit a confession.
Things get hairy for Egerton’s Keene as the trailer shows, as he deals with violence, the mentally ill and solitary confinement.
New episodes of the six-episode psychological thriller will drop every Friday though August 5.

Keene quickly realizes his only way out is to elicit a confession and find out where the bodies of several young girls are buried before Hall’s appeal goes through.
