Amazon’s celebrated Emmy-winner Transparent has been in flux for almost a year now, ever since multiple women involved in the show’s production accused star Jeffrey Tambor of sexual harassment. Tambor has since been fired and/or loudly quit the series, which has been forced to decide where to go in the absence of its…
We reported back in May that Amazon’s hit dramedy Transparent would be ending after a fifth season, with the decision to end the show most likely having a lot to do with the sexual harassment allegations that have been raised against star Jeffrey Tambor—who has since left the show, either because he chose to or …
In what’s amounting to a cold war between Amazon and Netflix, with the trans community caught in the middle, Deadline reports that Jeffrey Tambor—who was fired from Transparent in February amid charges of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior from two trans women who work on the show, and was subsequently …
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.
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.

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.

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…
“House Call” is a finale full of send-offs but few goodbyes, proving once again how little anything sticks on Transparent. But this time, it isn’t mere tolerance that’s keeping the Pfeffermans (and their now-extended family) in each other’s lives. A general air of acceptance fills the episode, beginning with Maura…
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, October 1. All times are Eastern. “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”—William Faulkner
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…
Transparent doesn’t go for tidy. Its characters are all in varying states of personal disarray, and in season four, that’s really seeped into the bones of the series. The show follows that mess into the wilderness in “Desert Eagle,” in which the Pfefferman crises du jour manifest in hammy dream sequences, touching…
Here’s what up in the world of TV for Friday, September 29 and Saturday, September 30. All times are Eastern.
There’s usually one—at least one—mid-season episode, in even the prestige-iest of prestige dramas, that’s more about establishing what’s to come rather than making a ton of emotional strides. Apparently we’re in the mid-season doldrums with Transparent, as “Babar The Borrible” actually makes its direct antecedent, “I…
In theory, there’s a lot of dramatic potential in the setup for the second half of this season of Transparent. The rest of the American Pfeffermans (minus Simon and Sarah and Len’s kids) arrive in Israel to meet Moshe, prompting a slight confrontation with his other family and kicking off a road trip that will consume…
