Hollywood is still on strike, but the show(s) must go on.
The ongoing AMPTP negotiations with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have already delayed major releases, but fall TV is still slated to return in full force. IndieWire’s TV team combed through truly dozens of new shows to pick 16 fall premieres to watch out for — a mix of networks, streamers, dramas, comedies, animation, live action, adaptations, and original stories.
Fall is a great time to curl up with a good book, or in front of the televised adaptations of “The Other Black Girl,” “All The Light We Cannot See,” and more. If you’re immune to franchise fatigue, get ready for more from the worlds of “The Boys,” “John Wick,” and the MCU. Matthew Cherry’s beloved Oscar-winning short “Hair Love” continues with “Young Love,” and Mike Flanagan returns to helm Netflix horror with “The Fall of the House of Usher.

Matthew A. Cherry’s Academy Award winning “Hair Love” short is getting adapted into an animated television series for HBO Max.
Cherry’s upcoming 12-episode show, titled “Young Love,” will be based on the characters from his short film. Cherry will serve as showrunner alongside animation veteran Carl Jones. The series will be executive produced by Blue Key Entertainment’s Monica A. Young (producer of “Hair Love”) along with Lion Forge Animation’s David Steward II and Carl Reed.
The upcoming series promises to expand upon the characters that made the original short an instant hit. Per WarnerMedia, “Hair Love” centered around the relationship between an African American father, his daughter Zuri, and the most daunting task a father could ever come across: doing his daughter’s hair for the first time. The upcoming “Young Love” animated series expands on the family introduced in “Hair Love.” Filled with comedy and heart,...

A record 92 animated shorts qualified for Oscar consideration this season, and it’s an eclectic group of nominees and family and friendship. There are three stop-motion works, and two that are 2D (“Hair Love” and “Kitbull”). Three are directed by women — “Daughter’s” Daria Kashcheeva, “Kitbull’s” Rosana Sullivan, and “Sister’s” Siqi Song” — and “Hair Love” is directed by Black filmmaker Matthew Cherry.
Cherry’s “Hair Love,” the favorite, concerns a single Black father trying to do his daughter’s hair for the first time. It was financed through Kickstarter, animated by Six Point Harness, and distributed by Sony Pictures Animation.
“Kitbull” (from Pixar’s experimental SparkShorts program), from story artist Sullivan (“Toy Story 4”), is a quirky short about the unlikely friendship between a kitten that lives in garbage cans and a pitbull in San Francisco’s Mission District.
With “Sister,” Song explores her upbringing under China’s...

The nominations for the 2020 Academy Awards have been announced. As expected, Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman,” Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” are all major contenders across various contenders. These films as well as Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story,” Todd Phillips’ “Joker,” and Sam Mendes’ “1917” picked up multiple nominations across many categories, in addition to top bids for Best Picture.
Last year’s Oscar nominations were dominated by Alfonso Cuaron’s “Roma” (Netflix) and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Favorite” (Fox Searchlight), both of which earned 10 nominations. “Roma” took home honors for Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Foreign Language Film, but it was controversially beat by Peter Farrelly’s “Green Book” (Universal) in the Best Picture race. Many film critics were outraged over the end result and named “Green Book” the worst Best Picture winner since “Crash” infamously won the Academy...
