John Krasinski’s relationship with Amazon appears to be a fruitful one. Variety is reporting that the Jack Ryan star is reteaming with the company for a new serial killer drama series called Silent River. The series will co-star Matthew Rhys of The Americans. Krasinski and Rhys will both serve as producers on the series, and Krasinski is also set to direct the pilot as well as additional episodes of the show.

Here’s the show’s official logline: “Through the lens of two men, whose lives are far more connected than they realize, Silent River explores the cracks of small-town America in the wake of discovering a serial killer among them.”

The show was created by Aaron Rabin, who will also serve as an executive producer.

“We are thrilled to continue our work with John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, and Sunday Night on this gripping series, which delves into the mysteries and secrets of small-town America,“ Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios said. “With John and Matthew Rhys attached to star in this wonderful story from Aaron Rabin, our global customers will be on the edge of their seats throughout this thought-provoking, psychological thriller.”

The show deepens a partnership between Amazon and Krasinski that started with Jack Ryan. A Jack Ryan film is currently in development that will build off of the TV series, which is one of Amazon’s most popular shows. Rabin previously worked as a writer and co-executive producer on the fourth season of Jack Ryan, which is likely where he connected with Krasinski.

The second season of Max’s trippiest prestige series is now 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

The show is promising to be just as trippy and existential during its second season.

Nathan Fielder in The Rehearsal.

When it first debuted on Max in 2022, nobody really knew what to make of The Rehearsal. The series, which followed Fielder as he helped people "rehearse" for real-life situations so that they could be prepared for all of life's uncertainties, eventually spiraled out into something stranger and more existential as Nathan became a pseudo-patriarch in a fake family.

Although The Rehearsal was undeniably strange, it also earned an overwhelmingly positive response from critics, and it seems the show's second season is no different. The Rehearsal season 2, which is set to premiere on Max on April 20, now has a 100% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, which means that it has once again wooed critics.

8 actors we would love to see in an all-star season of The White Lotus

With dozens of great actors to choose from, creator Mike White can form an incredible All-Star team

The cast of The White Lotus season 1

With The White Lotus season 3's explosive finale in the history books, we fans are already looking ahead at where the show's fourth season could take us. From potential actors who will embody the next set of spoiled characters to a large list of locations the series could travel to, the possibilities are endless for the HBO hit show. Creator Mike White hinted that there is a possibility that what comes next could be an ode to the past, though.

The White Lotus forming an all-star edition season would be an awesome way to say thank you to the fans who have watched all three seasons of the anthology so far. I thought it would be a lot of fun to brainstorm a roster of superstars that would set up a dynamic season in which we'd get some answers regarding our favorite characters while also seeing these people interact in a new vacation setting. I'm also not including anyone who already appeared in multiple seasons of the show; sorry to Greg, Belinda, and Tanya (RIP to our queen Jennifer Coolidge). These are the White Lotus all-stars we need in our lives.

Superman star Rachel Brosnahan has offered some new details on Clark and Lois’s relationship

Brosnahan is set to take over one of the biggest roles in comic books.

Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane in Superman

The first peaks at James Gunn's Superman that we've gotten so far have suggested that there's going to be plenty of kissing in the final film. Lois Lane is a crucial part of Superman's story, but her role has varied from adaptation to adaptation. In a recent interview with Collider, Rachel Brosnahan, who plays her in this version of the story, has offered some new details about the nature of Lois and Clark's relationship in the film.

"They've been together for about three months," she explained. "And they're asking some questions about the future of their relationship. They're not sure if this is something that was just a really great fling or something that could be forever, and they have really opposite worldviews, and they bump up against each other that way. So, it was a really fun way into a familiar story.”
