Scott Steindorff and Dylan Russell of Stone Village Television are developing a multi-part TV series based on Brian Muraresku’s book, “The Immortality Key: The Secret History of the Religion With No Name.” Stone Village’s plans come after a competitive bidding war for the rights to the New York Times bestseller.
Published in 2020, “The Immortality Key” organizes a decade of research into the history of psychedelics and how substances may connect to humanity’s discovery of God, chronicling practices such as psychedelic beer that dates back to sixth century B.C. to psychedelic wine consumed in ancient Greece.
Stone Village bills the upcoming production as “‘Game of Thrones’ but with psychedelics,” teasing an “epic” scale for the project.
Steindorff, a founder of Stone Village, served as an executive producer on HBO’s “Station Eleven” and the 2005 miniseries “Empire Falls.” He is currently working on a project exploring doctors who prescribe psychedelic therapy.

Many adults remember their youths fondly, as carefree times of silly sleepovers and innocent crushes.
But that doesn’t tell the whole story.
“Big Mouth,” Nick Kroll’s new Netflix comedy, aims to remind grown-ups of what really ruled their childhood: fear. The animated series follows a group of middle-school adolescents who are constantly learning about their developing bodies — and trying to impress the opposite sex all the while.
Sure, it’s funny to reflect on puberty’s many embarrassing moments, but at the time, it was terrifying, and the half-hour comedy revels in the dark and light sides of nostalgia.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Rick and Morty” Season 3, Episode 7, “The Ricklantis Mixup.”]
If anyone was afraid that the end of “Twin Peaks” signaled the disappearance of insane Sunday night TV storytelling, the kind that makes you scream into the living room void shouting “What Just Happened” with the pure intensity of a person reckoning with their own hallucinations, let me tell you about a little half hour of television called “The Ricklantis Mixup.” The ideal animated complement to Lynch’s “Part 8,” it’s a wry, impossible-to-fully-digest bit of mythologizing that builds up a multiverse worth of individual story threads before lighting them as the fuse to explode the story’s own premise. This is “Rick and Morty” at the height of its power, delivering zaniness and gut-punch existentialism with equal fury and glee.
Like so many standout “Rick and Morty” episodes, capturing the essence of what made this more than a loosely connected bit of cultural flotsam and jetsam lies in its...

Last week, Los Angeles experienced the La Tuna Fire, the largest for the city in over a half-century. California’s Governor Jerry Brown made an official call for a state of emergency. Fire crews worked tirelessly for the better part of the week to ensure that Burbank and the surrounding areas would not be engulfed by flames coming from over the mountain.
That’s why the footage in the latest Netflix docuseries “Fire Chasers” doesn’t exist merely as entertainment. These aren’t harrowing images of fire purely delivered to shock and awe. By going multiple steps beyond the usual, familiar news footage of flames overtaking a hillside, this series (executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio) embeds within the fire crews themselves, using on-helmet cameras and dangerously intimate firefighting footage to drive home the danger that these men and women face when the flame path is uncertain.
