It’s official: black-ish creator Kenya Barris is headed to Netflix with a rich multi-year overall deal. The pact had been rumored for months. I hear the agreement with Netflix was made awhile ago but could not be announced until Barris formalized his exit from his ABC Studios deal. Barris and ABC Studios last month announced that his overall deal there would terminate in August, a little over a year into its four-year term. I hear the date was Aug. 15, thus today’s…

Veteran TV director Michael Engler will helm the two-hour premiere of “Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes’ upcoming NBC drama “The Gilded Age.”

Engler reunites with Fellowes after having directed four episodes of the costume drama including its series finale, as well as the upcoming feature film “The Chaperone,” which was written by Fellowes.

“The Gilded Age,” which will run for 10 episodes, is set in 1880s New York City, and centers on Marian Brook, the wide-eyed young scion of a conservative family who will embark on infiltrating the wealthy neighboring family dominated by ruthless railroad tycoon George Russell, his rakish and available son Larry, and his ambitious wife Bertha, whose “new money” is a barrier to acceptance by the Astor and Vanderbilt set.

Fellowes is writer and will executive produce alongside “Downton” alum Gareth Neame. The project hails from Universal Television.

Two-thirds of the way into the pilot of Amazon Studios’ The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, there’s a moment that underscores just how unflappable Rachel Brosnahan’s uptown Jewish housewife heroine, Miriam ‘Midge’ Maisel, truly is.

Her business suit-wearing wannabe stand-up hack of a husband, Joel (Michael Zegen), drops the news on the eve of what will be a very busy Yom Kippur that he’s leaving Midge for his secretary Penny—and with his wife’s suitcase no less.

“You’re leaving me for a girl who can’t figure out how to sharpen pencils?” stings Midge.

“I need to start over,” Joel groans.

“With her? She wins?” Midge asks—without tears—before slamming Joel. “Can I just say you have the worst timing ever?”

Then comes her punchline: “Grab some pens on the way out, you’re going to need them.

Ruth Wilson stoked speculation about the reason for her departure from Showtime’s “The Affair” when she said she’s “not allowed” to talk about the situation during a TV appearance Thursday morning.

There are those actors that seem to mean a great deal to some of the productions they star in and not as much to others largely because they are either new to the game or are thrown in as needed extras and not even given a credit. Abigail Hawk is one of those actors that some people might absolutely love but if she’s not in her element it tends to seem that she’ll be left to subside as an extra when it concerns her role in a movie or show. On TV she’s been very prevalent and has made good

Showtime is coming to a crossroads as its signature series for most of the past decade, “Homeland,” heads into its ninth and final season next year.

This transition comes at a fraught time for established premium TV players. The competition has exploded and the benchmark for content expenditure is now set not by longtime rival HBO but by a digital upstart with seemingly limitless coffers and a $300-plus share price (aka Netflix).

Showtime Networks CEO David Nevins is steering CBS Corp.’s pay cable unit through a significant expansion as it delivers more original scripted and unscripted series, documentaries, specials,

Ruth Wilson’s comments on her exit from The Affair in an interview Thursday on CBS This Morning raised questions and now Showtime has weighed in, saying it was a creative decision.

Fox News Channel on Thursday aired a photo of R&B singer Patti Labelle in a tribute to the recently deceased Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.

The photo of Labelle was in the background of a title card depicting Franklin’s lifespan, an image that was broadcast on the cable network shortly after news broke that Franklin, 76, had died at her Detroit home Thursday morning.

As shrewd Twitter users pointed out, the still photo of Labelle appears to issue from when she sang for then President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House in 2014.

Grey’s Anatomy producers and Sarah Drew were not initially on the same page about what qualified as a happy ending for her former alter ego. The actress — who was let go by the ABC drama last spring, with her final episode airing in May’s season finale — revealed to THR that she was initially shocked that showrunner Krista Vernoff decided to reunite April with ex-love Matthew (Justin Bruening) instead of baby-daddy Jackson (Jesse Williams).
