So far, 2024 has been much better for television than expected, given the impact of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023. However, there was one genre that viewers were desperate to see more of, and that was period dramas. Aside from Bridgerton, there weren't too many premieres to be excited about in the first half of the year.
The second half, however, has some very interesting titles that you might want to check out. Here are 8 of the most promising period drama premieres to look forward to in the coming months of 2024.
Winter Palace
A co-production of Switzerland's RTS1, Play Suisse and Netflix, Winter Palace takes viewers to the snowy mountains and luxurious hotel of the early 1900s. The show lands in a sweet spot between a typical period drama and the modernity of The White Lotus, offering a different take on the aristocracy of the time.

The highly anticipated film The Outrun, starring Saoirse Ronan, debuted its first trailer on May 30, stirring significant buzz. Premiering at Sundance in early 2024, the movie received praise with some touting it as “transcendent” and hinting at a potential Oscar nod for Ronan, who has been previously nominated four times without a win. A Waiting Game for US Audiences Despite the film’s positive reception, American audiences are still in suspense. Currently, The Outrun lacks a U.S. distributor and thus, no confirmed release date stateside. As it stands, the film is set for release in the U.K. on September 27...

The strongest viewership of Netflix’s Bridgerton proved people still rave about period titles and, in particular, intricate stories, set in the 18-19th centuries. Besides, before the success of this series, we saw such gems of the 2010s, as Mia Wasikowska’s Jane Eyre (2011), Nicole Kidman’s The Beguiled (2017) and Saoirse Ronan’s Little Women (2019).
However, there is a female-led period movie that stands out among all of them. Back in 2018, it amazed the audience by its perfect mix of black comedy elements, deep drama, impeccable acting performances and quite an authentic atmosphere and tone.
Set in the early 18th century during the long war of England against France, the movie starts by introducing us to Queen Anne, who is in poor health and isn’t interested in governing at all. The one who is really into it is Sarah Churchill, her advisor and lover.

Noch ist es nicht bestätigt, aber der generell gut unterrichtete Jeff Sneider berichtet in seinem Block The InSneider, dass Sam Mendes seine Hauptdarsteller für die vier Beatles-Filme gefunden hat, die er im kommenden Jahr drehen will.
Das Original: Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, und George Harrison in „The Beatles: Get Back“ (Credit: Apple Corps Ltd.)
Es ist ein höchst ambitioniertes Projekt, das Oscargewinner Sam Mendes als seine nächste Filmarbeit angreift: Er wird ab Mitte 2025 vier ineinander greifende Filme über die Beatles drehen, in jedem wird ein anderer der Fab Four im Mittelpunkt stehen. Man darf davon ausgehen, dass in den Filmen die komplette Karriere der erfolgreichsten Rockband aller Zeiten abgedeckt werden soll. 2027 sollen die Filme dann von Sony in die Kinos gebracht werden.
Nun verdichten sich die Hinweise, dass Mendes seine vier Beatles gefunden haben könnte. Zumindest berichtet das der stets gut informierte Jeff Sneider in seinem Blog The InSneider.

Saoirse Ronan is taking on one of her most intense roles yet.
After playing a haunting child with sociopathic tendencies in “Atonement,” the now-grownup A-lister leads Sundance breakout-indie “The Outrun,” based on Amy Liptrot’s bestselling memoir.
Ronan stars as Rona (a bit confusing), a young woman recovering from alcoholism. Rona returns to her remote home in the Orkney Islands after losing herself in London; there, she reconnects with her past, her parents, and the atmospheric isolation of the islands on which she grew up.
Nora Fingscheidt directs the highly-anticipated feature, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. IndieWire critic David Ehrlich tweeted on Thursday, “So weird that this very good Saoirse Ronan drama still doesn’t have U.S. distribution! Not the easiest sell in the world, but she’s an absolute force in it.”
Ehrlich wrote in the review that Ronan is “the film’s most dizzying and mesmeric effect,...

It seemed appropriate that the location for the annual Women in Motion dinner in Cannes should be at Place de la Castre, atop Suquet Hill where victors of yore could survey their domain. It was certainly the case that honored guest Dame Donna Langley had captured the castle.
Cannes Film Festival president Iris Knobloch struck the right note when when she remarked to the NBCUniversal Studio Group Chair and Chief Content Officer, and other guests, that “you are sometimes introduced as one of the most powerful women in Hollywood, but in reality you are one of the most powerful people in Hollywood, regardless of gender.”
And it’s true.
Knobloch continued, ”Yes, women can be great leaders, just like you. Yes, woman can be successful, just like you. Yes, women can take risks, just like you. And yes, women can manage 10-figure budgets, just like you.”

Colm Tóibín does not approve of sequels. “It would have been a disaster if Pride and Prejudice had a sequel. It would have been a disaster if Ulysses had a sequel. Imagine!” the Irish novelist exclaims from his study in Columbia University, New York, where he teaches. “It ends with Molly Bloom asleep, then you’d suddenly realise, ‘Oh, my God, it’s starting another day.’”
Yet fans of Tóibín’s novel Brooklyn will be delighted to know that after a gap of nearly 15 years he has overcome these misgivings to write a follow-up, Long Island. Set in the 1950s, Brooklyn takes the fairytale of New York – an Irish girl who emigrates to America – and turns it into a heartbreaking story of homesickness and regret. Adapted by Nick Hornby...

Hannah Marks started acting when she was 6 years old, after seeing her mother’s acting reel. And she’s pretty much worked nonstop, from roles in the films “Accepted” and “The Runaways” to the cast of “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.” In fact, just last year she took her first vacation — though she confesses to recording several self-tapes during it.
In recent years, she has also made a (forgive me) mark behind the camera as a filmmaker, beginning with writing and directing “After Everything,” The indie film starred Jeremy Allen White as a young man diagnosed with bone cancer who embarks on a new relationship, premiering at the SXSW Film Festival in 2018.

Wes Anderson is the singularly talented filmmaker who has quickly gone from indie darling to Oscar favorite in just a little over two decades, creating a number of quirky, visually splendid classics. Let’s take a look back at all 11 of Anderson’s films, ranked worst to best.
Anderson made his directorial debut with “Bottle Rocket” (1996), released when he was just 27-years-old. He received his first Oscar nomination five years later: Best Original Screenplay for “The Royal Tenenbaums” (2001). He followed that eight years later with a Best Animated Feature bid for the stop-motion film “Fantastic Mr. Fox” (2009).

Francis Ford Coppola’s passion project has picked up French distribution, meaning certain streamers are likely out of the running – but more could still be in with a shot.
Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis distribution saga rumbles on, with the Apocalypse Now director somewhat inexplicably struggling to find a home for his $120m passion project.
Yesterday, we reported that the film had managed to pick up French cinema distribution with Le Pacte – an important milestone, since a French theatrical release is required for a film to screen in competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
As Variety points out, though, the Le Pacte deal does mean Netflix are unlikely to still be in the running to buy the film. France has a strict 15-month exclusivity window which prevents a film from heading straight from cinemas onto streaming services. Netflix, which remains a big fan of their simultaneous global release strategy, hasn...

Two years ago, we reported that Saoirse Ronan was due to star in The Outrun, Nora Fingscheidt’s drama based on Amy Liptrot’s memoir. This was before Ronan featured on not one, but two of our magazine covers with her films See How They Run and Foe.

Three time Oscar-nominated scribe John Logan is adapting National Book Award-winning author Cormac McCarthy’s novel Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness in the West for the big screen for New Regency.
John Hillcoat, who previously adapted McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road, will direct and produce along with Keith Redmon for New Regency.
The sprawling novel is widely considered one of the greatest works of American literature. Published in 1985, Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness in the West is an epic tale of the violence and depravity that attended America’s westward expansion which brilliantly subverts the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of a 14-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into a nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving.

Cillian Murphy capped off his domination of awards season by claiming the top acting prize for film on home soil.
The Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe and SAG award winner on Saturday night added perhaps a final statue to his flawless haul of honors for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” when he was named best lead actor at the 21st Irish Film and TV Academy Awards.
“God, I’m still so brutal at this,” the famously shy actor said on collecting the award, presented to him by “Killers of the Flower Moon” star and fellow recent awards circuit regular Lily Gladstone. “But being in this room is so special — being at home, with people that I love and admire amongst my fellow nominees and some of my favorite people.” Speaking backstage afterwards at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre, he added: “It feels lovely being home with so many friends and colleagues.”

Becoming the highest-grossing film of 2023 and crossing the $1 billion mark, it’s hard to argue that “Barbie” wasn’t one of last year’s most significant cultural cinematic landmarks, even if it missed out at the most recent Oscars. Many actors have revealed they were part of the film, only to be cut, Olivia Colman, Saoirse Ronan, and possibly more, but there was another actually in the movie who didn’t really receive her moment.

Keira Knightley & James McAvoy Once Opened Up Their Atonement Love Scene. (Photo Credit – IMDb)

But the X-Men: First Class actor had a different opinion about their passionate lovemaking scene.

This post contains spoilers for the movie "Foe."
Garth Davis' 2023 sci-fi film "Foe" is a somber, confusing mess of a film that calls its shots early on, but remains mysterious regardless. It's set in the near future of 2065 when the Earth's natural resources are dwindling. Hen (Saoirse Ronan) and her husband Junior (Paul Mescal) live in a remote family home that has been in Junior's family for generations. The trees around their house have all died and their marriage seems to be on the rocks; they fight and sleep in separate beds. Junior is also wary of visitors, assuming that Hen is having affairs ... which she might have had in the past.
One evening, Junior and Hen are visited by a man named Terrance (Aaron Pierce) whom Hen met years before. Terrance works for a well-moneyed astronautics corporation called OuterMore. OuterMore is planning a grand migration project that would relocate...

Saoirse Ronan has spent much of her youth racking up Oscar nominations, scoring her first bid when she was 13 and her fourth when she was 25. Take a look back at 12 of her greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Ronan’s parents were both actors and she was born in The Bronx, New York while her father was studying acting there and working odd jobs. Her parents returned to their native Ireland when Saoirse was three, where she developed her signature accent. She began acting herself at the age of 9 on a few different Irish television programs.

Colin Farrell has nothing but love for his home country, saying this week that he’s proud of the recent rise in Irish actor success in Hollywood.
“I mean, we punch so far above our weight,” Farrell, a native of Castleknock, Ireland, told Entertainment Tonight. “We’re only a country of 5 million people and I don’t know, Irish people — just whether it’s through music, the written word, whether it’s prose poetry, film, theater of course, we just — we have a deep connection to.”
He added that he feels his fellow countrymen share an appreciation of “the importance of story” and for “leaning into stories and meanings with which we understand ourselves and the world around us.”
Last month, Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy became the first-ever Irish-born actor to win best actor at the Oscars. “I’m a very proud Irishman standing here tonight,” Murphy said from the stage.

Hollywood has a problem. A problem with names. If you are not American, or English (and even that is a problem sometimes), then chances are people have been butchering your name since forever. Irish, Afrikans, Indian, Eastern European, or really, anywhere that is not American, it won’t be a surprise for people to learn that even after decades, some celebrities have been called by names that is not really theirs.

Timothée Chalamet may not have got the part of Marvel’s Spider-Man, but he’s progressing in his career at a pace that Tom Holland can only dream of. With the double success of Wonka and Dune: Part Two, Chalamet has set a box office record after decades. He is the lead in the top two highest-grossing films in the domestic market over the last eight months.

Chalamet’s record is second only to John Travolta’s, who set the record at the peak of his career with the films, Saturday Night Fever and Grease, in 1977-78. The musical film, Wonka, defied expectations and went on to gross $628.5 million, while Dune 2 is closing in on the $500 million mark.

Chalamet’s record is second only to John Travolta’s, who set the record at the peak of his career with the films, Saturday Night Fever and Grease, in 1977-78. The musical film, Wonka, defied expectations and went on to gross $628.5 million, while Dune 2 is closing in on the $500 million mark.

Actor John Travolta’s worldwide fame began when he starred in two cultural paradigm-shifting films: Saturday Night Fever, and Grease. The star achieved a rare feat that few actors had done: staying at the top two spots at the domestic box office within eight months. However, now that record seems to be broken by Timothée Chalamet.
Timothée Chalamet’s starring roles in Wonka and the recent Dune: Part Two have made him a star like no other. The films were at the top spot in their opening weeks and only slightly slowed down with new releases. While Wonka grossed $218 million domestically in its lifetime run, Dune: Part Two currently stands at over $494 million and is only expected to earn more in the coming weeks due to less competition.

Duos are an important part of Hollywood. Chemistry is something that can rarely be fabricated, so when two actors find their on-screen dynamic to be great, they end up sticking to it. Over type time, they end up getting close to each other in real life as well.

This exact phenomenon has led to iconic on-screen pairs like Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, and finally, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.

While Timothée Chalamet’s chemistry with Zendaya in Dune: Part Two has had fans rooting for their characters ‘until they breathe’, Chalamet’s best pairing is arguably with Saoirse Ronan. The two actors have played opposite each other in two films by Greta Gerwig, namely Lady Bird and Little Women.
The duo has often claimed that they were best of friends and have shared undeniable chemistry both on and off-screen. Ronan and Chalamet first met on the sets of Lady Bird, which was noted for its coming-of-age themes and nuanced performances from the cast. Chalamet and Ronan were also nominated for Oscars in the same year, though both lost.

St. Patrick’s Day is a time to celebrate Irish culture, history, and of course, to have a bit of fun! To those unfamiliar, March 17th marks the traditional death date of St. Patrick (Ireland’s patron saint). It used to be a religious day to remember him and how Christianity spread in Ireland.

The day is celebrated beyond Ireland as a way to embrace Irish culture. This day offers people a chance to enjoy traditional music, dancing, food, and drinks. Also, wearing green is a big part of it since it’s linked with Ireland.

Since Cillian Murphy just became the first Irish-born actor to win the Best Actor Oscar, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a list of the most notable Irish actors who have been honored by the Academy with either Oscar gold or a nomination.
1. Cillian Murphy
Murphy has played non-Irish roles so often and so well that some people may not realize or remember that he is Irish. His best Irish films include Breakfast on Pluto and The Wind that Shakes the Barley. And as noted above, he is the first Irish-born actor to take home an Academy Award in the Best Actor category.
