Season 2 of UnREAL had almost as many exhausting storylines as Empire and felt more like a soap than a show tucked in a show about a real-life dating show. Altogether, it made for a cluster-fuck of a season, at times more overwrought than it was enjoyable, though definitely not at all devoid of drama.
At this point it’s almost boring to question bewildering remakes, simply because there have been so many of them. Nevertheless, here we are: Lifetime is remaking the 1988 tear-jerking classic Beaches, starring Idina Menzel. Hm.
By the time Rachel calls action on Season 2 of UnReal’s fictional dating show Everlasting, she’s already found her villain, set the groundwork for a pair of nemeses and made the new girl in production cry and vomit in a matter of seconds. The diabolical (and this time, racially motivated) ratings push has begun.…
Speaking on a panel at the Paley Center, Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer—UnReal’s Rachel and Quinn, revealed that Season 2 of the Lifetime series is about to tear the two apart. “I didn’t think we could go this dark,” said Zimmer, ominously.
UnREAL’s production bosses Quinn and Rachel are back to running their fictional reality dating show and, based on the trailer, the general concept for Season 2 is “money, dick, power.”
Next time you find yourself in a possibly fatal situation where you have to throw up, don’t reach for the ipecac. Instead, simply drag your ailing body to the nearest computer and watch this clip of withered corpse Doug Hutchison talking about falling in love with his then-16-year-old wife, Courtney Stodden.
Lifetime announced a bunch of random programming to be developed over the next year, including a movie deal with Ronda Rousey, a Serena Williams project and a series executive produced by Janet Jackson.
As you likely know, James Franco is remaking the Lifetime classic Mother, May I Sleep With Danger? We are now learning that his unique spin on the made-for-TV staple will involve a same-sex relationship and also it’ll be a “vampire love story.”
I first saw previews of Manson’s Lost Girls during Christmas while watching another Lifetime movie starring Ashanti as an evil department store manager; laughably, the vintage effects made it look as if the scenes had been run through at least three different Instagram filters. At the same time, it was exciting. How…
Lifetime—television for women—will soon debut The Mother/Daughter Experiment: Celebrity Edition, a reality series in which mothers/daughter pairs will attempt to resolve years of family trauma while (seemingly) living in the same house and being filmed. Much like Lifetime’s definition of “celebrity,” the show’s…
After revealing recently that the second season of Everlasting, the reality television show featured on UnREAL, would star a black man in the Bachelor-esque leading role, the producers of the show have now announced that B.J. Britt has been cast.
Season 2 of Lifetime’s unexpectedly great series UnREAL will do what the real-life Bachelor has strangely never done, and feature a black bachelor.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been spending most of this weekend doing one of my favorite activities: watching Lifetime movies. During a marathon of mediocre holiday flicks (including one that features Ashanti as an evil department store manager), I saw a commercial for the upcoming Toni Braxton Lifetime…
Let no pop culture anniversary pass without a commemoration! Let no beloved property go un-remade!
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the The Unauthorized Melrose Place Story. While there were plenty of trashy plotlines throughout the series’ seven seasons —evil alter egos, cults, murder plots and stolen babies—I couldn’t recall the show actually having an offscreen villain, à la Beverly Hills, 90210’s Shannen…
Just in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of hit ‘90s teen soap opera Beverly Hills, 90210, Lifetime debuted the latest addition to their biopic series with The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 Story. As a dedicated Lifetime viewer and 90210 fan, I pulled out my old pair of glow-in-the-dark Dylan McKay boxers…
Tori Spelling got grilled, and not by a Hibachi (too soon?) during an upcoming one-hour special airing on Lifetime called Tori Spelling: Celebrity Lie Detector. Spelling was asked a series of juicy questions by host Louise Roe, one being whether or not she hooked up with any of her former Beverly Hills, 90210…
Lifetime has always been known for its sordid, affair of the week-type movies, but now the network seems to be rebranding itself to be known for their unauthorized biopics. Last year, they kicked it all off with The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story, followed by movies on Brittany Murphy and Whitney Houston. Their…
Have mercy, Lifetime’s much-anticipated (?) The Unauthorized Full House Story is finally here.
The BBC is working on a new War and Peace adaptation, in partnership with the Weinstein Company, and they’ve just released the first images. So here’s some costume porn! Try not to run out and buy any expensive, useless ballgowns made of gauze.
