Jennifer Lawrence had her first movie since 2019’s execrable “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” late last year with Adam McKay‘s “Don’t Look Up.” And it appears that her hiatus from acting is finally on the wane, as she’ll star in A24‘s upcoming army vet drama “Red, White and Water,” currently in post-production.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeThe barrage of TV launches over the past several months has further blurred the sense of time. Although series like “Ted Lasso,” “Succession” and “Dopesick” remain front-runners in their respective comedy, drama and limited-series categories, they all aired last fall.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Given the volume of TV out there, it’s no surprise that viewers are seeing double or even triple, with overlapping trends and actors seemingly everywhere you look. As my colleague Emily Longeretta recently noted, stars like Elle Fanning (“The Great,” “The Girl From Plainville”), Chloë Sevigny (“Russian Doll,” “Plainville”), Sandra Oh (“Killing Eve,” “The Chair”), Julia Garner (“Ozark,” “Inventing Anna”) and Nicole Byer (“Grand Crew,” “Nailed It!”) are just some of the performers eligible for multiple projects in this year’s Emmy race.That’s a tremendous trend among actors.
