TV tales to tantalise

by Adam Zawadzki

Hollywood, from writer/director/ producer Ryan Murphy (The Politician) is set during the golden age of cinema. The story focuses on a group of filmmakers and their attempts to make it in the film industry.

With an impressive ensemble cast including Darren Criss (The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story), David Corenswet (The Politician), Dylan McDermott (The Practice), Holland Taylor (Two and a Half Men), Jim Parsons (Hidden Figures) and Queen Latifah (Hairspray), expect awards nominations for this high end television production.

While the first series of psychological thriller Homecoming featured Julia Roberts (August: Osage County) and Stephan

James (If Beale Street Could

Talk) in leading roles and was nominated for three Golden

Globes, the second series will be released on 22 May with

Janelle Monáe (Moonlight) and Chris Cooper (Seabiscuit) taking over. While the first series was based on the podcast Homecoming , the second series will contain a new story and characters. With its draw of top talent, past and present, anticipate more critical acclaim.
