Just when we thought we had finally escaped the continued animation bloodbath across streaming platforms, Netflix quietly grabbed the baton from HBO Max and decided to run a victory lap. Living animated comedy legend Mike Judge is in the midst of a career resurgence, with the return of "Beavis and Butt-Head" and the upcoming Peacock series "Best Buds." Judge has also been in the middle of negotiating a return for his hit series "King of the Hill," and is in the middle of production on a Netflix series "Bad Crimes."
The latter stars comedic delights Lauren Lapkus and Nicole Byer as two FBI agents who travel across the country solving grisly crimes while simultaneously juggling their friendship, career ambitions, and as many men as they can get their hands on. Unfortunately, as was reported by The Wrap Monday, Netflix unceremoniously gave "Bad Crimes" the axe despite the series already being in production.

The Netflix animated comedy Bad Crimes, which was to be voiced by Nicole Byer (Cursed Friends) and Lauren Lapkus (Crashing), has been canceled in the middle of production. As reported by Variety, the project is now being shopped around to other platforms. Created by Nicole Silverberg (Full Frontal with Samantha Bee), the series is described as a dark comedy procedural following Kara (Byer) and Jennie (Lapkus), two FBI agents who travel across the country to solve grisly crimes while juggling their friendship, career ambitions, and as many men as possible. Comedy veterans Greg Daniels and Mike Judge were on board as producers for the series, which was picked up for a 10-episode order this past January. Silverberg also served as executive producer alongside Dustin Davis, Byer, Lapkus, and Erica Hayes. “Making Bad Crimes with Greg and Mike and Bandera, who are the whole reason I dreamed of one day getting to write TV,...

Netflix stopped production of Bad Crimes and canceled the animated series before it even starts streaming.
The animated comedy, which was to be voiced by Nicole Byer and Lauren Lapkus, was canceled, according to Variety. Nicole Silverberg, a former writer on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, created the dark comedy and was also an executive producer alongside Greg Daniels and Mike Judge.
It was this past January when the series was first announced and received a 10-episode order.
When the project was announced at the top of 2022, Silverberg was excited about the opportunity to work alongside Daniels and Judge under the New Bandera Entertainment Company banner.
“Making Bad Crimes with Greg and Mike and Bandera, who are the whole reason I dreamed of one day getting to write TV, has been such a surreal and incredible experience,” she said. “We all feel that working with Netflix – which not only permits,...

‘Rick and Morty’ Review: ‘Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri’ Gives Season 4 a Last Impossible Question
[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for the “Rick and Morty” Season 4 finale, “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri.”]
“Rick and Morty” has an interesting relationship with loose ends. Ambiguity has driven some of the show’s most memorable endings (see last season’s “ABCs of Beth”), while others come out of tying up all disparate threads and an improbable return to the status quo (the Season 4 premiere “Edge of Tomorty”). There are even some episodes that manage to be a combination of both, where a self-contained chapter wraps up with a striking nod toward an uncertain future (“The Ricklantis Mixup”).
While not as consequential as any of those, the ways that “Star Mort Rickturn of Jerri” leans closest to that third lane puts it in the more memorable half of Season 4. Last week’s planetary children adventure showed the strength of “Rick and Morty” stories that use the whole Smith family. That lesson carries over here in...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Rick and Morty” Season 4, Episode 1 Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat.”]
Years from now, when someone is catching up on “Rick and Morty” during an afternoon HBO Max binge, the Season 4 premiere will make for a curious stop. Much like the stealth Season 3 premiere, dropped on April Fool’s Day 2017 in an extreme case of committing to the bit, it’s hard to separate this episode from the context in which it arrives.
The last new “Rick and Morty” episode came 25 months ago, and it’s easy to see this return to the air as both a nod to fan favorite slices from years past and a reset of sorts, brought on by that time away. That hand-in-hand idea comes right at the top of “Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Repeat,” as Rick proclaims he’s off to harvest death crystals from Forbojolon Prime, and Beth insists that Morty be...

The biggest news to come out of Thursday night’s “Rick and Morty Live” event at Starburns Industries in Burbank was the final confirmation that Season 3 will be here in a month.
But for fans hoping for a window into the creative chaos that helps give birth to the polished final product, the two-hour event, hosted by cast member Brandon Johnson, gave them just what they were looking for. With co-creator (and Rick/Morty voice) Justin Roiland giving some background on Season 3, storyboard artist Erica Hayes providing some live sketches and with writer Dan Harmon manning FinalDraft, the evening followed wherever the riffing led them.
At various points in the night, the three would work together to come up with some improvised sequences. It’s the only way something as pure as Star Rick and Star Morty makes it into this world. (Look at those angry Rick eyebrows!)

For decades, Todd Scott says, he was haunted by a terrible secret. His mother, Alice Uden, told him that back in the 1970s she killed her third husband, 25-year-old Ronald Holtz, as he slept. "She just, out of the blue, told me how she got up one night, got a .22, and shot Ron in the head," Scott, now 53, tearfully told a Wyoming jury last week, adding, "I don't know why a mother would tell her children she killed somebody." After his testimony, Scott turned to Uden, now 75 and wheelchair-bound, and said, "I hate you," reports West Texas CBS affiliate Kosa.
