Dawn Porter’s documentary about R&b icon Luther Vandross, “Luther: Never Too Much,” has been acquired by CNN Films in partnership with the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), IndieWire can reveal exclusively.
The documentary film, which first premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, will debut in 2025 first on television on CNN and OWN before it lands on Max.
The acquisition is encouraging news for CNN Films, which back in 2022 under former boss Chris Licht scaled back on its original documentary films. The brand moved away from acquisitions or commissioning projects and opted instead for newsy, quick turnaround docs produced in-house.
But CNN Films also partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Studios on this fall’s release of “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story,” so the two acquisitions, both from this year’s Sundance, is a positive step forward for the documentary brand.

We’re definitely not in Kansas anymore: American Idol decided to change things up with the way it markets the new season by having judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie and Ryan Seacrest take a trip down the proverbial Yellow Brick Road to kick off the 22nd season.
Excuse us, we mean the Golden Ticket Road.
In this newest promo for the show’s Feb. 18 return, Perry dons a Dorothy-like outfit as a narrator says “once upon a time, four superstars went on a long journey far from home.” Seacrest then invites them to walk down the Golden Ticket Road to search for the “best singers in America.” They walk by Burleson, TX — hometown of season one winner Kelly Clarkson — along with Checotah, Okla, Carrie Underwood’s place of birth, among others.
“What an incredible journey,” says Richie. “I can see brighter things ahead.”

We have some bad news for fans of Chapelwaite.
The horror drama will not be returning for a second season.
Co-creator and Executive Producer Jason Filardi took to X to share the sad news.
"I'm afraid Captain Boone's story ends on that beach of weathered, Maine sand," Filardi posted.
"There will be no Season 2. Thank you to all the Chapelwaite fans!"
Chapelwaite launched in August 2021, with the development of a second season being announced shortly after.
But with a lack of updates, fans were left pondering what would become of the series.
Unfortunately, it's likely that no episodes were produced for the planned second season, and Epix becoming MGM+ likely changed the streamer's priorities away from making the new season.
Set in the 1850s, the Chapelwaite follows Captain Charles Boone (Adrien Brody), who relocates his family of three children to his ancestral home in the small, seemingly sleepy town of Preacher's Corners,...

Showtime’s four-part docuseries on the Supreme Court, Deadlocked: How America Shaped the Supreme Court, will premiere its first episode on September 22, amid a period of intense concern over the impact and integrity of the high court.
From director Dawn Porter, the project delves into the modern era of the court, going back to the Earl Warren court of the 1950s and 1960s, when the justices established a series of landmark progressive precedents, to today, with the conservative majority upending abortion rights and affirmative action. With it has come increasing distrust of the court itself, as well as the internal intrigue given the unprecedented leak last year of the Dobbs abortion decision.
“I wanted to give people an understanding of how the court works,” Porter told Deadline. “…You don’t pay attention until something you love is gone, until a right you cherish has been overturned. So I felt like...

Despite all the rumormongering that a certain “mean judge” wouldn’t return, American Idol has announced that Katy Perry will once again join Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie for a seventh season on ABC. Ryan Seacrest will continue to emcee.
Perry found herself in the crosshairs of fans last season, especially when contestant Sara Beth Liebe accused the pop star of mom-shaming her during auditions. The judges were surprised to learn that Liebe, who could pass for 16, was actually 25 years old. When she revealed she had three children, Perry stood up from her chair and jokingly acted like she was going to fall back on the judge’s table.
Liebe ended up exiting the reality competition during the first episode of Hollywood week.
Later, Perry was booed by the audience when she made a comment about the amount of glitter worn by contestant Nutsa Buzaladze. She also tricked some contestants...

Though the CW is beginning to pivot much more heavily to reality fare, with “All American” as the only original scripted series on its fall 2023 lineup, the network has added three new scripted projects to its slate for 2024: “Joan,” “The Librarians: The Next Chapter” and “The Swarm.” Additionally, 2024 will see the premieres of unscripted series “Patti Stanger: Millionaire Matchmaking,” “The Force” and “The Great American Bakeover” (all working titles).
All newly announced series are currently in production.
“Joan” stars Sophie Turner (“Game of Thrones”) as Joan Hannington, the notorious real-life jewel thief. Set in 1980s London, the series sees Joan as a devoted mother to her six-year-old daughter, Kelly, while trapped in a disastrous marriage with a violent criminal named Gary. When Gary goes on the run, Joan seizes the opportunity to adopt new identities and embark on a high-stakes journey to create a new life for herself and Kelly.
