Alan Ritchson Sets Survival Competition Show at Netflix https://www.thewrap.com/creative-content/tv-shows/alan-ritchson-netflix-survival-competition-reality-series/ Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:35:01 +0000 https://www.thewrap.com/?p=7999058 The series from Bunim/Murray Productions will feature a group of "high-profile influencers and headline-makers"

Alan Ritchson has built a career as an action star in projects like “Reacher,” “Smallville” and “War Machine” — and he’s ready to share what he’s learned.

The actor has set a survival competition show at Netflix with Bunim/Murray Productions, where “a group of high-profile influencers and headline-makers” will have their resilience and grit tested.

“As an avid survivalist, Ritchson will help guide the participants through the competition, pushing them beyond their limits and into the unknown,” per the logline on Tudum. “With all the comforts and luxuries of modern-day life stripped away, the players will have to rely on their instincts, determination and each other to outlast the competition and discover who they are without fame and followers.”

“Do they have what it truly takes to endure? Will they risk losing their carefully curated personas in the process? And who will break first under the pressure?” Netflix further asks.

Showrunner Jay Bienstock (“Survivor,” “13: Fear Is Real”) will executive produce alongside Rupert Dobson, Gayani Wanigaratne and Ritchson, with John Faratzis serving as co-EP.

The currently untitled series follows similar concepts at Netflix such as “Outlast,” “Snowflake Mountain” and “Surviving Paradise.” Other upcoming competition reality shows for the streamer include “The Golden Ticket” and “Win the Mall,” as well as new seasons of “Squid Game: The Challenge” and “Million Dollar Secret.”

‘Morning Joe’: Hillary Clinton Calls on Congress to Rein In Trump Before He Causes ‘Irreparable Damage’ | Video https://www.thewrap.com/media-platforms/journalism/morning-joe-hillary-clinton-trump-congress-republicans-iran-war-video/ Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:10:02 +0000 https://www.thewrap.com/?p=7999009 "Do not let him continue to be a rogue player in the international arena," the former Secretary of State urges

The post ‘Morning Joe’: Hillary Clinton Calls on Congress to Rein In Trump Before He Causes ‘Irreparable Damage’ | Video appeared first on TheWrap.

Former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton put out a public call to Congress and elected Republicans during a wide-ranging interview on Monday’s edition of “Morning Joe” urging them to rein in President Trump before he becomes “more reckless” and causes “irreparable damage.”

“He’s found the joy of ordering our military to go do things that give him a lot of dopamine, I guess, when he’s in the Situation Room watching them take out Maduro from Venezuela or attack Iran,” Clinton told “Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough about the president. “I just worry that he’s going to become more reckless.”

“This is a call to Congress, including the Republicans, to step up and do your Constitutional duty,” Clinton continued. “Rein in this president before he causes absolutely irreparable damage to our country, to our military standing, to our authority and leadership. Do not let him continue to be a rogue player in the international arena, because I fear he will get more reckless.”

While Clinton said she supported Trump’s bombing strikes on Iran last year, she slammed his current, “incoherent” war against the Middle East country.

“We’re in a situation now where we are weak, where we essentially have lost the leverage and initiative that we had,” Clinton explained, referencing Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz. “I worry that the United States is now in a very weak position vis-a-vis Iran, which should be the outlier, should be on the back foot and should be the one held to account.”

You can watch the full “Morning Joe” segment yourself below.

During her “Morning Joe” interview this week, Clinton also condemned Trump’s “unhinged” threats against Iran last week, which drew backlash from prominent members of both the Left and the Right. The former Secretary of State said that it is up to Americans and their elected representatives to hold leaders accountable “for what they say as well as what they do.”

“Words, especially from an American president, have real consequences, and when you look at the last week of unhinged rants coming from Trump’s social media account, it’s just disgraceful,” Clinton said. “Accountability is a very broad concept. It’s not just about holding people accountable for the crimes that they’ve committed, maybe the bribes that they’ve taken, the kind of unaccountable power they’ve exercised. It’s also about holding them to a standard.”

“It’s not just about the laws we pass, but the norms that we follow, all of which have been broken by this president,” Clinton continued. “I read those [posts] like, I think, I hope the majority of Americans, both shaking my head and really just feeling sick at heart that we have a president who is such a disgrace.”

‘The View’ Hosts Rain Hellfire on ‘Blasphemous’ Jesus Meme From Trump: ‘Can’t Even Look at It’ https://www.thewrap.com/creative-content/tv-shows/the-view-trump-jesus-meme-reaction-blasphemous/ Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:49:29 +0000 https://www.thewrap.com/?p=7998954 "Can you take that down, please?" moderator Whoopi Goldberg asks of "The View" crew

The post ‘The View’ Hosts Rain Hellfire on ‘Blasphemous’ Jesus Meme From Trump: ‘Can’t Even Look at It’ appeared first on TheWrap.

President Trump posted a meme depicting himself as Jesus on Sunday, and on Monday morning, the hosts of “The View” were disgusted by it. So much so, in fact, that moderator Whoopi Goldberg requested it not be onscreen longer than needed.

“I can’t even look at it,” she said, as she teed up the discussion during the day’s Hot Topics. “There’s no answer to the question I’m supposed to ask, but, what are your thoughts?”

Without missing a single beat, host Sunny Hostin immediately called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked, which would remove Trump as president due to disability. She argued that the amendment is there for a reason, and struggled to find words to express her disgust, beyond calling it “blasphemous.”

“Can you take that down, please?” Whoopi asked someone offstage as Hostin gathered herself. “Just take it down.”

“In the Christian faith, this is considered blasphemy, depicting yourself as Christ, elevating yourself to the level of Christ,” host Alyssa Farah Griffin explained. “I did see some very prominent MAGA supporters, who are diehards, even saying as much, and saying ‘Please take this down.'”

Farah Griffin also took issue with Trump’s public bashing of Pope Leo, noting that it “makes no sense to me” while he’s hemorrhaging supporters due to the war in Iran.

“It signals to me that he doesn’t understand — I don’t think he claims to be a person of faith — our faith is bigger than our politics,” she continued. “That is the one thing that will always trump politics, for people who are practicing in their faith. He clearly doesn’t understand that.”

“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.

ESPN Sets Josh Oshinsky as Senior Director of Original Content Development https://www.thewrap.com/culture-lifestyle/sports/espn-josh-oshinsky-senior-director-original-content-development/ Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:36:20 +0000 https://www.thewrap.com/?p=7998935 The former Business Insider and Sports Illustrated executive will oversee the ideation and execution of the sports network's multiplatform storytelling efforts

ESPN has tapped former Business Insider and Sports Illustrated executive Josh Oshinsky to serve as its new Senior Director of Original Content Development.

In his new role, Oshinsky will oversee the development of ESPN’s multiplatform storytelling efforts across “30 for 30,” ESPN Films, ESPN Originals, podcasts and scripted projects. He will head the sports network’s creative strategy, talent partnerships and the creation of its global master content slate.

“I’m thrilled to join an iconic brand like ESPN at such a pivotal moment for the industry,” Oshinsky said in a statement Monday. “I look forward to shaping the next chapter of ESPN’s original storytelling, marrying ambitious creative vision with formats and partnerships that meet audiences where they are.”

Oshinsky comes to ESPN having mostly recently served for six months as the Vice President of Creative Strategy at Business Insider. Prior to that, he worked as the Vice President of Global Content & Digital at PepsiCo, a position he held for three years after having previously served as an executive producer at the company and Senior Director of Global Communications.

Oshinsky’s other experience includes working as a director and executive producer at Time Studios, a two-year stint as Vice President of Sports Illustrated from 2017 through 2019 and a supervising producer at Time Inc. He returns to ESPN after having worked as an editor at the company for several months in 2005. He got his start in the sports entertainment world working as a producer for Major League Baseball.

Over the course of his 20+ year career, Oshinsky has received 14 Emmy Awards as well as multiple Webby, Telly and Anthem Awards. He previously produced and edited the 2010 ESPN “30 for 30” documentary “Four Days in October,” which charts the four games in the 2004 American League Championship Series when the Boston Red Sox became the first MLB team in history to win a best-of-seven playoff series after falling behind 0-3 to the New York Yankees.

Oshinsky’s appointment comes just a few months after ESPN officially closed its deal to acquire the NFL Network. Last week, ESPN also confirmed that longtime NBA and college football announcer Mark Jones was set to leave the network after 36 years. His last game as an ESPN play-by-play announcer came this past Sunday when the Orlando Magic traveled to Boston to take on the Boston Celtics. Jones’ departure was reportedly his decision.

Alyssa Farah Griffin returned to “The View” from her maternity leave on Monday morning, and she offered an observation. Apparently, during her time off, the ABC host realized the show is “way better on TV” than it is in person.

Farah Griffin gave birth to her first son on Feb. 10, just a few days before her final show before maternity leave was scheduled. In her absence, the talk show saw a rotation of guest hosts, including Whitney Cummings, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sheryl Underwood and more. But, on Monday morning, Farah Griffin happily returned.

“I missed you guys, you were all amazing while I was gone,” she said at the start of the show. “I was watching, and I was like ‘This is the best show I’ve ever seen!’ It’s way better on TV than at the table.”

Farah Griffin also shared a bit of her experience as a first-time mom, and thanked those around her who have been helping her care for her son (and make it possible for her to return to work).

“All of you who are moms told me, they said, they’re like ‘Your brain chemistry changes overnight,’ and it is so true,” she said as photos of her and her family appeared onscreen. “My world just feels more magical, and full, and I’m just so grateful to him.”

Farah Griffin has been open about her pregnancy experience on “The View,” talking multiple times on-air about how she went through several rounds of IVF to get pregnant. Back in October, she stunned her co-hosts with her live pregnancy announcement.

You can watch Alyssa Farah Griffin’s full return in the video above.

‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ Season 2 Swaps Sophie Thatcher for Talia Ryder as Production Begins https://www.thewrap.com/creative-content/tv-shows/mr-and-mrs-smith-season-2-casts-talia-ryder/ Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:51:51 +0000 https://www.thewrap.com/?p=7998890 Ryder will star opposite 'Anora' actor Mark Eydelshteyn

The post ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ Season 2 Swaps Sophie Thatcher for Talia Ryder as Production Begins appeared first on TheWrap.

“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” has cast Talia Ryder as its new lead, according to multiple media reports. Ryder will play the role that Sophie Thatcher was originally set to play. Due to scheduling conflicts tied to delays around the project, Thatcher was unable to move forward on the series.

After a delay last fall, the Prime Video series has started filming.

Ryder will star in Season 2 opposite of Mark Eydelshteyn, known best for “Anora.” Eydelshteyn and Ryder will take over the titular roles of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, respectively, from Donald Glover and Maya Erskine.

Prime Video declined to comment.

Based on the 2005 action-comedy of the same name starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” follows two everyday people who agree to throw their old lives away and become anonymous assassins for a shady and mysterious organization. To protect their identities and avoid suspicion, they have to live as a married couple with their partner. The 2024 adaptation quickly became a critical darling, receiving 16 Emmy nominations for its first season, including nominations for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for Glover and Outstanding Lead Actress for Erskine.

It’s not just the series leads who will be different in Season 2. Anna Ouyang Moench, known for her work on “Severance” and “Beef,” will serve as the showrunner and writer of Season 2, a role that was previously held by Francesca Sloane. Even the central city has changed. Whereas Season 1 took place in New York, Season 2 is shooting in Los Angeles. The change was made after the production received a $22.4 million tax credit from the California Film Commission to relocate.

Work on Season 2 of the Prime Video original was paused last September. The delay was reportedly due to a casting issue. No other cast members have been announced at this time.

The post Netflix Releases First ‘Little House on the Prairie’ Teaser — And No, It’s Not ‘Woke’ appeared first on TheWrap.

Netflix offered a first look at its new “Little House on the Prairie” series on Monday with the debut teaser, and despite much online discussion about Netflix making the beloved Laura Ingalls Wilder book series “woke,” it looks like a pretty straightforward adaptation.

“Once upon a time, Ma and Pa and Mary and Laura left the big woods of Wisconsin and moved to the prairie,” Alice Halsey, who plays the young Laura Ingalls Wilder, says in a voiceover during this first teaser. “Every day and every night was an adventure.”

The video then shows Laura and her family traveling in a covered wagon across empty fields. The clip also shows the family coming together to make a home, anxiously exploring the town for the first time and building flower crowns while listening to music.

“And even though they were all alone against the sky and the stars, they were happy,” Laura says in the teaser. Watch it below.

Luke Bracey and Crosby Fitzgerald star as father and mother Charles and Caroline, respectively, and the series hails from “The Housemaid” screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine, who serves as executive producer and showrunner. Alongside Halsey, Skywalker Hughes will play the young Mary Ingalls.

The first season is based on the book “Little House on the Prairie,” which is actually the third book in the series. But Sonnenshine said her North Star for creating the show was the love amongst the family.

“This show is a love story about a family. They’re a family you want to be with, you want to know, you want to spend time with,” showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine said in a statement to Netflix. “That’s really at the core of what ‘Little House on the Prairie’ is about: a family that is there for each other, that tells stories to each other, tells stories about themselves.”

Sonnenshine is best known for her work on “The Boys,” “Vampire Diaries” and “Archive 81.” In addition to serving as showrunner for the series, she will also be an executive producer alongside Joy Gorman Wettels for Joy Coalition, Trip Friendly for Friendly Family Productions and Dana Fox. Sarah Adina Smith, Julie Anne Robinson, Kat Candler, Erica Tremblay and Sydney Freeland will all direct.

The series is produced by CBS Studios and Anonymous Content. All episodes of the first season of “Little House on the Prairie” debut on Netflix on July 9.

Judy Greer Unpacks ‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Season 2 Finale: ‘Can You Imagine?’ https://www.thewrap.com/creative-content/tv-shows/judy-greer-the-last-thing-he-told-me-season-2-finale-interview/ Mon, 13 Apr 2026 14:24:43 +0000 https://www.thewrap.com/?p=7998568 The “13 Going on 30” actress tells TheWrap about Quinn’s confession and reacts to the shocking potential Season 3 setup she “did not see coming”

The post Judy Greer Unpacks ‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Season 2 Finale: ‘Can You Imagine?’ appeared first on TheWrap.

This story contains spoilers for “The Last Thing He Told Me” Season 2.

Judy Greer spent her career waiting for a role like Quinn in “The Last Thing He Told Me.”

The longtime character actress told TheWrap that playing the calculating businesswoman and heir to a mafia empire in the Apple TV series was one of her proudest roles yet, culminating in a pivotal confession scene in the Season 2 finale.

The high-stakes crime drama takes its characters to Paris in the final arc, as Bailey (Angourie Rice) continues to question her fractured memories. That search for truth leads her to confront Quinn (Greer) about what really happened to her mother.

In a dramatic confession, Quinn admits she ordered a hit meant to intimidate Bailey’s mother into silence over her father’s mob dealings but insists she never intended for her to be killed.

For Greer, the emotionally charged scene opposite “13 Going on 30” co-star Jennifer Garner and Rice was a rare and deeply rewarding experience.

“It was a day I was scared and excited for because I wanted so much for that scene,” she told TheWrap. “Everything that I wanted, I got. And to get to do a scene like that with those two actresses — that’s so rare.”

Known for playing more anxious or comedic supporting roles, Greer said stepping into Quinn’s authority was a welcome shift.

“I tend to play people who are more anxious or neurotic, or sad, or crying a lot,” she said. “So building this character, someone who is strong, secure, independent and smart, was really exciting.”

Despite Quinn’s admission, she tells Bailey she doesn’t expect forgiveness. In a surprising turn, Bailey offers it anyway, explaining she has found a second mother in Hannah Hall (Garner). Quinn ultimately lets both women walk away.

With her father dead and her brother having fumbled the family business, Quinn is left to pick up the pieces and potentially take control. Greer even joked about the character’s evolution, saying she wished Taylor Swift had released her “Life of a Showgirl” album during filming so Quinn could claim “Father Figure” as her anthem.

The actress also credited Garner, a longtime friend and collaborator, with helping her land the role.

“Jen was really instrumental in telling the producers and showrunners, ‘She can do this,’” she shared. “Thank God for friends and people who love us and believe in us. So to get the offer was hugely flattering because of that, but also because I know they’re not going to give me the role if they don’t believe I can do it, regardless of what my friends say.”

The Season 2 finale left the door open for a larger arc for Quinn as she steps into her father’s shoes as the new leader of her family’s mafia business. After letting Hannah and Bailey off the hook, she calls the mole in the U.S. Marshal’s office to let her know the hunt for Owen is not over yet. Greer was just as shocked as she hopes audiences were. 

“I read the script, and I was like, ‘You shut up right now,’” she said. “Can you imagine getting to be a crime boss? Come on! I’m dead, deceased. It would be the most fun I could ever imagine.”

While “The Last Thing He Told Me” has not yet been renewed for a third season at Apple, the finale set the stage for Quinn to step fully into her father’s role, suggesting the Favreau family will not give up their legacy so easily. 

All eight episodes of “The Last Thing He Told Me” Season 2 are available to stream on Apple TV now.

As the line between fake news and actual news continues to blur, Greg Gutfeld is once again challenging his audience to decipher what’s real in Season 2 of “What Did I Miss?”

Starting April 27, five new contestants will emerge from three months of isolation in upstate New York to guess whether headlines pitched their way really happened or if they’re falling for fake news.

“If Season 1 proved anything, it’s that real life can be more unbelievable than the wildest of tales,” Fox Nation president Lauren Petterson shared in a Monday statement. “We are thrilled to offer Fox Nation subscribers exclusive access to the second season of What Did I Miss? as our very own king of late-night Greg Gutfeld returns to test the contestants on what they missed in isolation.”

“Against all logic, people volunteered to do this crazy game show again. And the only thing standing between them and victory is me,” Gutfeld further teased.

The five new contestants are  Raymond Borizki from Fort Walton Beach, Florida, Nancy Hornback from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, Victor Hugo from Freeport, Florida, and Devika Seth from Southlake, Texas — and even Sunny Mujovic from Season 1.

“What Did I Miss?” Season 2 premieres April 27 on Fox Nation.
