As it did after One Day At a Time‘s first cancellation almost two years ago, series producer Sony Pictures TV tried hard to find a new home for the praised reimagining of Norman Lear’s beloved 1970s sitcom. The effort — considered a long shot — was not successful, and the cast and crew were informed today that the show has come to an end. One Day at a Time co-creators/exec producers/showrunners Gloria Calderon Kellett and Mike Royce shared the news with the show’s fans on Twitter.
“It’s officially over. There will be no new @OneDayAtATime episodes,” Calderon Kellett wrote. “But there will always be 46 episodes that we got to make that live Forever. Thank you to this beautiful cast. Our dedicated crew. And to you, our loyal fans. We loved making this for you. Thank you for watching.”

Almost two years after Netflix canceled One Day at a Time after three seasons, the praised reimagining of Norman Lear’s beloved 1970s sitcom is losing its network home again. And, just like it did in the spring of 2018, the studio behind the reboot, Sony Pictures TV, plans to shop the series to other outlets.
Pop, which aired One Day at a Time’s abbreviated fourth season earlier this year, has opted not to order more episodes. The ViacomCBS ad-supported cable network in 2019 rescued the series after its cancellation by Netflix in a complex deal that included encore airings on sibling CBS. A lot of things have changed since then. Following the merger of CBS and Viacom, Pop moved from the CBS to the Viacom side of the company, joining Chris McCarthy’s Entertainment & Youth division. Pop has since pulled away from original scripted programming; following the end of Schitt’s Creek,...

Earlier this summer, Etta Friedman was visiting her family in Yerington, Nevada, when she crashed her cousin’s motorcycle and broke both wrists. “I let go of the clutch on the bike and popped a wheelie,” the 21-year-old musician says. “And then immediately went vroom! and went into the front of my aunt’s trailer and crashed directly into it.” Friedman was taken to the local hospital, where she was wrapped in splints. “They gave me this really old-school-looking baggie full of Percocet,” she adds. “I was like, ‘Very cool.

ABC has given a script commitment with penalty to Bridges, a multi-camera Latina family comedy, from Mr. Iglesias writer Aaron Serna, Jaime Davila’s Campanario Entertainment and 20th Century Fox TV.
Created and co-written by Serna and Sebastian Jones, Bridges is a multi-generational, multi-cultural family comedy about family, identity, and forgiveness. It tells the story of a family of strong Texas Latinas who have their world turned upside down when they lose the beloved mother who held their family together, and are left with the white, conservative father they blame for tearing the family apart.
Serna and Jones executive produce with Campanario Entertainment’s Davila and Rico Martinez. The project is a co-production of 20th Century Fox TV and Campanario Entertainment.
Serna is a writer on Mr. Iglesias, which is heading into its second season on Netflix. His other previous writing credits include Cristela, Rhett & Link’s Buddy System and Malibu Country.

It’d be easy to think Everybody’s Everything, the painfully intimate documentary on the late Lil Peep, is a strictly-for-the-fans endeavor — that the only audience are the people who heard songs like “U Said” or “Crybaby” and felt like someone had mysteriously tapped into their own inner monologues. And yes, the die-hards will indeed find themselves giddy over the home movies, the behind-the-scenes peeks, the rise-and-fall of it all when they’re not tearing up.

The family drama Waves made its premiere at the Telluride Film Festival before going to Toronto, where it became the talk of the town. Critics were raving about it while the Twitterverse gave it the seal of approval before A24 picked it up to release November 15 — a choice spot for awards season.
Directed and written by Trey Edward Shults (It Comes At Night) and featuring a stacked cast that includes Kelvin Harrison Jr, Lucas Hedges, Taylor Russell, Renée Elise Goldsberry and Sterling K. Brown, Waves follows a family in South Florida with a well-intentioned but aggressively domineering father as the head of household. As he expects and demands only the best from his son, a wrestler at his high school, the entire family begins to unravel with unstable relationships, the love they have for each other, forgiveness and coping with loss.

“Everybody’s Everything,” a little Gunpowder & Sky documentary on the late emo rapper Lil Peep, managed something remarkable this week. On November 12, a Tuesday, screenings of the film grossed five of the top 10 grosses in North America, including the top spot. That one went to Denver’s Northfield 18, where it grossed $10,538.
Certainly, it’s a testament to the rapper’s enduring popularity. The film, which debuted at SXSW, opened just days before the second anniversary of his death from an accidental drug overdose at 21 and in tandem with a new album. However, it’s also a testament to the power of the weekday screenings from Fathom and other limited-showing companies, which provide an increasingly vital supplement for exhibition.
For “Everybody’s Everything,” which counts Terrence Malick as an executive producer, that took the form of 121 theaters on Tuesday, nearly all of which offered only one show. It grossed $320,000, or about $2,650 per theater.

To his friends and family, Gustav Elijah Ahr was a sensitive, soft-spoken kid who brought joy to those around him and looked after them. To his fans, Gustav was better known as Lil Peep, a rapper and singer who found a following on Soundcloud and, within a few short years, was playing to sold-out crowds.
Unfortunately, his life would take a too-familiar turn in 2017 when the performer was found unresponsive on his tour bus. Forget 27, the age of many a rockstar who died in an eerily similar fashion — Lil Peep had barely crossed his 21st birthday when he died of an accidental overdose.
For much of “Everybody’s Everything,” Sebastian Jones and Ramez Silyan’s documentary on Lil Peep, the focus is on his life, from his restless childhood growing up in Long Beach, New York, to drifting into music and quick stardom. Compiling many hours of home movies and interviews,...

For those who were close to Gustav Elijah Åhr, the release of documentary film Everybody’s Everything next week may be as difficult as it is cathartic. Åhr, who performed as Lil Peep, died of a drug overdose on tour in 2017 shortly after celebrating his 21st birthday; the film spotlights dozens of friends, family members, and colleagues sharing beloved memories of the young rapper, who’d amassed millions of fans with his uniquely vulnerable songs and harbored a personal ambition to “revolutionize music.”

When musician, producer, and rapper Lil Peep died at the tragically young age of 21 of an accidental drug overdose, many listeners heard his genre-defying music for the first time. Now, even greater audiences will be introduced to the late wunderkind via an intimate new documentary, which happens to have been executive produced by none other than “Tree of Life” filmmaker Terrence Malick. “Everybody’s Everything,” which recently released its first official trailer, relies on Malickian voiceover, candid testimony, and candid video to tell the story of the creative life cut all too short.
Here’s the official synopsis: “Creating a unique mix of punk, emo and trap, Lil Peep was set to bring a new musical genre to the mainstream when he died of a drug overdose at just 21 years old. From the streets of Los Angeles to studios in London and sold out tours in Russia, the artist born...

Framed with a haunting letter from his grandfather Jack, Everybody’s Everything is a messy portrait of deeply flawed rising star Lil Peep, who passed away at age 21 in 2017 of a fentanyl overdose. His work is still surfacing with his second album released posthumously along with a current radio single I’ve Been Waiting with ILoveMakonnen and Fall Out Boy.
Embracing the medium of youth Diy stardom, Everybody’s Everything uses a wall of media tracing his career both in composed sit-down interviews with family, collaborators, girlfriends, and his management team with rough and ready ephemeral moments that could have been crafted for Instagram and Snapchat. For those seeking to understand the Lil Peep phenomena, especially as his work continues to reach radio stations, it’s a fairly comprehensive document.

An elegiac documentary exploring the brief life of rapper Lil Peep, “Everybody’s Everything” certainly doesn’t lack for perspectives. Interviewing virtually everyone who knew the musician (born Gustav Ahr), directors Sebastian Jones and Ramez Silyan cover the waterfront, from Peep’s family to his girlfriends, his innumerable collaborators, his managers and his fans, trying to distill exactly what it was about this shy, vulnerable kid that made him such a self-made sensation in the short years between the launch of his career via rough bedroom recordings, and his death of a drug overdose at age 21. Given the proximity to his passing (barely a year and a half ago), the remembrances are raw and sometimes free-associative, and a wealth of intimate footage offers plenty of warts-and-all testimony to the wild blur that was his life. The only perspective that’s missing here is that of Peep himself, and that hole...

The 2019 SXSW Film Festival launched plenty of buzz for many anticipated studio releases, from Jordan Peele’s “Us” to Olivia Wilde’s “Booksmart,” but these movies don’t tell the whole story. The Austin gathering showcased 102 features and episodic across nine days, and it remains unclear where many of those titles will surface next. But even if they didn’t garner the same level of hype, many of the smaller-scale narratives and documentaries at SXSW 2019 deserve audiences beyond the insular film festival circuit.
These highlights may not generate massive deals, but in today’s malleable distribution landscape, there are many of ways that strong, original storytelling can find audience. Here’s our usual plea that buyers take a chance on these worthy films that still need homes.
“Alice”
The opening minutes of “Alice” make the case for Emilie Piponnier to be a movie star, and the rest of the movie keeps it up.

In recent years, the SXSW Film Festival has grown in stature to become a key launchpad for many kinds of movies — anticipated studio comedies, edgy documentaries, and low-budget narrative features have all found taken flight at the Austin gathering. The addition of television series has further complicated SXSW’s profile, to the point where both media receive nearly the same level of attention.
The 2019 edition was an especially fertile example, as Jordan Peele’s horror sensation “Us” kicked off the proceedings with a level of enthusiasm that remained in place in the days ahead, with many other crowdpleasing movies and television shows.

The rapper Lil Peep tweeted 15 times on the day he died. At 1:14am: “Nightmares to u is my life to me.” That was followed by a handful of links to music he liked or wanted to self-promote, a fan retweet of some performance footage, and an emoji-filled reference to his stage name, which the 21-year-old’s loving mom had coined when he was a child. Finally, at 5:01pm, he shared a shoutout to his “biggest fan” Nick Bons, an incarcerated felon whose sister had allegedly provided the rapper with drugs. Lil Peep was found dead a few hours later in the back of a tour bus outside the Tucson, Arizona, venue where he’d been scheduled to perform; his body would later test positive for everything from cannabis and cocaine to prescription-grade painkillers like Tramadol and oxycodone.
