At the beginning of the month, when the Arrested Development news machine was just coming back online, Netflix confirmed that Jeffrey Tambor would still be appearing on the show despite the sexual harassment allegations that got him fired from Amazon’s Transparent. Today Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz has…
Netflix is still in the Jeffrey Tambor business, with the streaming service recently confirming that he’ll return to Arrested Development’s fifth season despite allegations that he sexually harassed a former assistant and one of his Transparent castmates, but Amazon—the home of Transparent—has quietly been cutting all…
Transparent may be moving forward without Jeffrey Tambor, but not very far. Late last year, reports emerged that the actor—who led the Amazon dramedy for the first four seasons—had sexually harassed his co-star Trace Lysette and former personal assistant Van Barnes, both of whom are trans women. Tambor initially…
Netflix has yet to announce a premiere date for the fifth season of Arrested Development, but it has confirmed this much: When the new episodes debut, Jeffrey Tambor will be a part of them.
Despite getting the green light nearly seven months ago, the fifth season of Transparent probably won’t hit Amazon this year. According to The Hollywood Reporter, production isn’t likely to even start until December which means we probably won’t see the Pfeffermans fighting on screen again until 2019.
In the wake of Jeffrey Tambor’s firing from Transparent over sexual harassment allegations, his once-and-possibly-future Arrested Development co-star David Cross has spoken up in support of the actor. amNew York reports that Cross, who’s gearing up for a fifth season of Arrested Development, says that while he “can’t…
Amazon has confirmed that Jeffrey Tambor is no longer a member of the cast of its Emmy-winning dramedy series Transparent. The network’s announcement comes after charges of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior were levied against the star, who stated back in November that he didn’t “see how I can return to …
In early November, Amazon announced it was launching an investigation into claims that Transparent star Jeffrey Tambor had sexually harassed his assistant Van Barnes. Not long after, Tambor’s co-star Trace Lysette said Tambor once cornered her, where he thrust himself against her and talked about attacking her…
Deadline is reporting that two-time Emmy-winner Jeffrey Tambor has left his starring role on Amazon’s Transparent, in the wake of multiple accusations of sexual harassment that have been levied against him. Tambor issued a statement about his departure today, once again denying the allegations, and claiming that he’s…
Last week, we reported that Transparent star Jeffrey Tambor had been accused of harassing Van Barnes, a trans woman who served for several years as his assistant. The accusation from Barnes—who alluded to “inappropriate behavior” on the actor’s part—has led to an investigation by Amazon, and rumblings that the actor…
In the wake of sexual harassment allegations against Transparent star Jeffrey Tambor, Amazon is reportedly looking into reworking the show without him.
Deadline reports Amazon has launched an investigation into claims that Jeffrey Tambor sexually harassed his former assistant. Van Barnes, a trans woman, recently wrote a private Facebook post in which, according to Deadline, she alluded to “inappropriate behavior” on the Transparent star’s behalf. That’s really all…
With members of the Pfeffermans either literally or figuratively wandering the desert like a lost tribe in “Desert Eagle,” “They is on the Way” is the oasis that awaits as the reward after a time of strife. Given the family’s personalities (and demands of a maintaining a dramatic show) it’s hard to imagine the…
Before getting into the review proper, it’s fair to disregard this episode’s grade, critiques, and misgivings entirely for a single reason: Moshe Pfefferman’s titular “Cool Guy” commercial in all its full George H.W. Bush-era (Yitzhak Shamir-era?), spray-and-teased hair glory. It’s an easy joke to recreate the…
“How much longer is this gonna go on for?” Ali Pfefferman asks, exasperated. She’s talking to a team of people grilling her on her involvement with Leslie Mackinaw, the older professor played by Cherry Jones with whom she had a sexual relationship over the course of the past two seasons of Transparent. But she could…
The Orville’s second episode, “Command Performance” returns with a more inventive plot, but still struggles with the same problems that afflicted the series premiere. Much of the positive feedback for the show highlights its optimism; after a surprisingly long-lived “dark and gritty” era in entertainment, seeing…
With the lines between the American government and the Russian one growing blurrier all the time, perhaps it makes sense that no one even attempts a Russian accent in the trailer for The Death Of Stalin. The new film from Veep and The Thick Of It creator Armando Iannucci is set in Moscow in 1953, where the USSR’s top…
Above Average’s “Your Biggest Fan” web series is a modern riff on Saturday Night Live’s “The Chris Farley Show”, with comedian Rob King cornering various celebrities at a water cooler to accost them with banal questions and pathetic demands.
Jeffrey Tambor is a fantastically prolific actor, appearing in everything from Hill Street Blues to Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil, with a ton of rightly celebrated comedic and dramatic performances in between. One cinematic milestone he was not in, however, was Ghost, as he was forced to remind Ryan Seacrest this week…
There’s more than money in the banana stand, as Netflix has just green-lit a fifth season of Arrested Development. The new batch of episodes will be released in 2018, and, most importantly, the whole cast will return to play the Bluths, Fünkes, and Pop-Pop. In a statement released earlier today, creator Mitch Hurwitz…
