How 'Mayfair Witches' and 'Interview with the Vampire' Could Cross Over Based on the Books
As AMC’s Mayfair Witches finds its footing a few episodes into its first season, many could be wondering how the show will tie into the other “Immortal Universe” show already finished with its premiere season, Interview with the Vampire. Both are based on novels written by Anne Rice, so there is no shortage of source material to draw on and determine where these shows may fit together. With many of the main characters from both The Vampire Chronicles collection of novels and Lives of the Mayfair Witches novels already established, AMC is primed to bring these stories together at some point in the future.

If You Like 'The Last of Us,' Watch 'Station Eleven'
The Last of Us was among the most emotionally gripping and immersive video games of all-time, and Craig Mazin’s adaptation for HBO has certainly lived up to that potential. While The Last of Us has delivered a cinematic quality in its first few installments, it’s also a grim reminder of the not-so-distant past. A future overrun by a pandemic, police brutality, an authoritarian state, social unrest, and broken families feels particularly grim, and any casual viewers expecting a zombie action series in the style of The Walking Dead may have to adjust their expectations. Those who seem to enjoy emotionally gripping, haunting shows about the future will want to make use of their HBO subscriptions and check out the incredible recent miniseries Station Eleven.

'American Gigolo' Cancelled After One Season on Showtime
The surprise merger of Showtime and Paramount+ has already drawn blood. Showtime's American Gigolo, starring Jon Bernthal, has been canceled after one season. Deadline reports that American Gigolo, alongside Let the Right One In and Three Women, are the first casualties of the two consolidating streamers, in a year that has already been a bloodbath for original series. While Let the Right One In and Three Women may find other homes, prospects are gloomier for the ill-starred American Gigolo. The sex-work drama has been a troubled production from the start; the series was first greenlit in 2016, with Neil LaBute (The Company of Men, Nurse Betty) writing, but only came to fruition several years later, with Ray Donovan and Heartland producer David Hollander as showrunner. However, he was fired amidst allegations of misconduct and replaced with David Bar Katz. Bar Katz himself departed weeks later, resulting in a two-week production shutdown while The Offer's Nikki Toscano and Russell Rothberg, who had been brought in as consulting producers after Hollander's departure, took over. As a result of the turmoil behind the scenes, the series' original ten-episode order was cut to eight; the series debuted late last year.
