Adult Swim’s Emmy-winning animated comedy Rick and Morty is off to a strong start following its Season 6 premiere. The debut episode drew more than 1 million viewers in L+3, up 57% from its September 4 premiere. Those numbers will likely continue to grow as the Season 6 premiere episode “Solaricks” is available for streaming on Adult Swim’s YouTube channel until September 27.

The series is also in the top 10 best performing series on HBO Max in Europe in 2022.

The unscripted dating show features some surprise guest stars from the scripted series, and the husband-and-wife team of Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell try to help a group of singles find love on the high seas. There’s nothing I love more than celebrating love in a gorgeous location, and this delivers. On the drama front (though BiP and TRLB can never be accused of not bringing the drama), Grey’s Anatomy returns for season 19 and The Good Doctor begins season 5, both on ABC.

James Bond franchise film producer Michael Gregg Wilson revealed that one specific scene is used to test all actors aspiring to play the role of the iconic British spy. Wilson explained that would-be 007s always audition with the classic bedroom scene from the 1963 film "From Russia With Love" starring Sean Connery as Bond and Daniela Bianchi as his love interest, Tatiana Romanova. "We always use the same scene … and that’s the one in ‘From Russia With Love’ where Bond comes back to his room after the assassination, and he starts taking off his shirt, goes into the room to bathe.Then he hears something, takes his gun, goes in and the girl’s in the bed," the producer told the audience at an "In Conversation" event, according to Deadline.

William Earl One of the biggest crowdpleasers of the Toronto International Film Festival has arrived. “The Menu,” a high-class horror comedy written by Seth Reiss and Will Tracy and directed by Mark Mylod, held its rollicking world premiere at the Royal Alexandra Theatre on Saturday. Mylod, the in-demand TV director who has helmed key episodes of “Game of Thrones,” “Shameless” and “Succession,” leaned on the satirical world of the latter series in this black comedy lampooning fine dining, foodie culture and the ultra-rich. Anya Taylor-Joy continues her scene-stealing career as Margot, a cuisine novice who agrees to join obnoxious Tyler (Nicholas Hoult, as infuriating and pathetic as he is on “The Great”) at a hyper-expensive, once-in-a-lifetime meal prepared by the intimidating and legendary Chef Slowik (a devilish Ralph Fiennes) at his private island restaurant. Although the menu is rumored to be legendary, there is, of course, more in store for the diners than meets the eye.
