The AMC Networks family has renewed a pair of shows.
Acorn TV is bringing back Jane Seymour’s Harry Wild for a second season and AMC+’s short-form series Cooper’s Bar is also getting a sophomore run.
The Anglo-centric streamer said that Harry Wild delivered its most successful premiere week in its history when it launched in April. It will return in 2023 with another eight episodes.
Seymour stars as Harriet “Harry” Wild, a retiring university literature professor who is finding herself at one of life’s crossroads. In season one, jolted from a mugging, Harry reluctantly agrees to recover in the home of her son, Charlie, played by Kevin Ryan, a senior police detective. Charlie’s family does their best to tolerate Harry’s inscrutable ways, but Harry speaks her mind. Despite Charlie’s strong objections and warnings, Harry starts to interfere in her son’s particularly baffling murder case...

AMC Networks has renewed the Emmy-nominated short-form series “Cooper’s Bar” for a second season, while Acorn TV — AMC Networks’ streamer devoted to British and international fare — has given a Season 2 renewal to “Harry Wild,” starring and executive produced by Jane Seymour.
Both pickups were announced Wednesday during AMC Networks’ portion of the Television Critics Assn. press tour.
“Cooper’s Bar” is nominated this year at the Emmys for outstanding actress in a short form comedy or drama series, for Rhea Seehorn (who stars and also directed Season 1). According to AMC, the short-form digital series has already generated nearly four million views on a variety of platforms including AMC+, AMC.com, video on demand and the company’s Facebook, Instagram and YouTube feeds, since its spring launch.
“Cooper’s Bar” was developed and pitched by Seehorn and Louis Mustillo (“Mike & Molly”), and followed the tale of a struggling actor who pitched his Tiki Bar...

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of TV critics two questions and publishes the results on Tuesday. (The answer to the second, “What is the best show currently on TV?” can be found at the end of this post.)
This week’s question: What is your favorite murder mystery show?
Erik Adams (@ErikMAdams), A.V. Club
It has to be “Twin Peaks,” right? I’m one of those annoying people who insists the show is so much more than “Who killed Laura Palmer?”, but that is our entry point to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s weird little world, and the question that briefly made “Twin Peaks” a pop-culture phenomenon. And the chapters of the series that deal with finding Laura’s murderer are some of the most compelling, from the dream-sequence enhanced “Zen, Or The Skill To Catch A Killer” or the eventual solution to the mystery, a...

Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, located at the Disneyland Hotel, recently started selling Haunted Mansion-themed tiki mugs featuring the three classic hitchhiking ghosts! They will only be available for purchase until November 1st, so if you want one, you better go get it soon. I love Disneyland and I'm a huge fan of The Haunted Mansion attraction, so I've gotta get my hands on one of these before time runs out!
There's a variety of preview items for #HalloweenTime, but think this #Tiki #HauntedMansion piece is our favorite

But thanks to the persistent, brave actions of the Cocoa Beach, Florida, police department, Kennedy - who was found tucked inside an air pocket under the vessel - is safe and back with her parents and 7-month-old sister, Charlotte. "This was truly a miracle," Tammy tells People. "It's just unreal, it's every parents worst nightmare to think that you could lose your child, and this was so real it was a nightmare come to life.
