wrote on Twitter Friday shortly after news circulated that the series would not be returning for a third installment. The cancellation comes week’s after NBC’s last batch of decisions for on-the-bubble shows, which involved canceling “Grand Crew” after two seasons and “Young Rock” after three seasons.“I’m so sorry we didn’t get to make those episodes, but I’m immensely proud of the 23 episodes of the show we did put out there,” Spitzer continued.
“Thank you so much to our outstanding cast, writers, crew and fans.”Season 3 of #americanauto was going to show Katherine Hastings and Payne Motors finally finding success and taking the world by storm. I’m so sorry we didn’t get to make those episodes, but I’m immensely proud of the 23 episodes of the show we did put out there.Starring Ana Gasteyer as Katherine Hastings and Harriet Dyer as Sadie Ryan, the comedy centers on the employees of a Detroit-based car-making company called Payne Motors after Katherine is called up to become its next CEO, despite having barely any knowledge surrounding cars after coming from the pharmaceutical world.
As expected, the staffers experience some growing pains following the switch, though Spitzer said Season 3 would spotlight Katherine and the other staffers finally hitting their stride.In addition to Gasteyer and Dyer, the series also featured an ensemble cast of Jon Barinholtz, Tye White, Michael Benjamin Washington, Humphrey Ker and X Mayo. Guest stars for the comedy included Jim O’Heir, Andy Daly, Martha Kelly, Seth Meyers and Ryan Reynolds.When “American Auto” first premiered in December 2021, it debuted to critical acclaim and a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.The film stars Harrison Ford in his fifth and final portrayal of archeologist-extraordinaire Jones. “While Ford is scrappy and lovable as ever, Indy was never a role that should have been played for 41 years,” The Post said.“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” remained in second place this week, taking home $3.435 million.
Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot developments, including the final scene, in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” currently playing in theaters. When Lucasfilm announced in 2016 that Steven Spielberg was making a fifth “Indiana Jones” movie with Harrison Ford, fans naturally wondered how much of a role Karen Allen’s Marian Ravenwood — Indy’s spitfire equal from 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and the love of his life — would play in the new film. The last time audiences saw Marian, she was getting married to Indy at the end of 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” after she revealed to Indy that they’d had a child together, who Indy meets as teenage greaser Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf). So any follow-up movie would at the very least need to address the fact that Indy is married with a (grown) kid.
The Other Two, the comedy series starring Heléne Yorke, Drew Tarver and Molly Shannon, is coming to a close with its third season on Max.
Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny has arrived in cinemas – but should you remain seated for the credits?The latest offering marks the fifth and final instalment of the franchise, and sees acting legend Harrison Ford reprise his role as the daring adventurer.With the first part of the movie being set in 1944, Dial Of Destiny kicks off with the whip-cracking archaeologist looking to retrieve one half of the Antikythera – an ancient dial built by Archimedes – from a Nazi scientist (played by Mads Mikkelsen).The remainder of the film ventures forward to 1969, where Jones partners up with his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) to locate and retrieve the other half, and potentially alter the course of history.The Dial Of Destiny has very much been pitched as Indy’s final adventure, but fans will still be curious to know if a post-credits scene teases future possibilities for the franchise.Unlike other Disney titles, this Indy offering doesn’t feature a post-credits or mid-credits scene. So once the film ends, you’re safe to leave.The lack of any teasers perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that Ford himself has made it clear on numerous occasions that this is his final outing as Indiana Jones.“This is it! I will not fall down for you again,” the actor joked at D23 last year.“I’ll miss the people who I’ve worked with on the film – everyone at Lucasfilm, at Disney, [director] Jim Mangold, and the actors.

chatting with BBC Radio 1 about why the character is so important to fans. “I think the thing that I most admire about them is the depth and subtlety of the emotion, and the importance of emotion in these films,” he told host Ali Plumb.The “Star Wars” alum continued, “As this last one concerns age and frailty and changing nature of life, it was especially compelling to me, because I am of that age and I wanted it to feel real for the audience.” “I wanted them to see the complexity of that experience with someone they’ve spent 40 years with,” he added.Plumb then told an emotional Ford, “Can I just say, on behalf of all the fans, thank you.
