After a special screening of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald at Vulture Festival L.A., four time Academy Award-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood chatted with Vulture’s Chris Lee about her ornate costume designs for the film. Atwood’s work is always richly detailed, and this film is no exception. The principal characters are dressed in rich fabrics, jeweled tones, and sumptuous materials one would find in fashion-forward 1920s Paris.
Atwood and her team had to source, create,...

We know The Good Place‘s perky virtual assistant Janet can do just about anything… but we have to admit, we were still surprised to see her kick the stuffing out of a dozen demons in this week’s epic bar fight.
“It’s such a funny bit: Not only is she the smartest being in the universe, she kicks ass,” D’Arcy Carden, who plays Janet on the NBC comedy, tells TVLine. “She’s Jason Bourne plus a machine robot.” Speaking of Mr. Bourne, Carden actually trained with veteran stunt coordinator Jeff Ima...

On the tenth anniversary of True Blood’s debut, the show’s creator, Alan Ball, came to Vulture Festival Los Angeles to watch the pilot episode with fans and share some memories about the making of the breakout HBO hit.
Jaws dropped when Ball talked about how difficult it was to find the right actor to play smolderingly attractive vampire Bill Compton, and described how the search took him to London, where one of the actors he met with was none other than Benedict Cumberbatch. Let’s think abou...

A great relationship with a co-worker is something to be desired… until it gets in the way of playing awkward, earnest new love.
This Is Us star Mandy Moore tells TVLine that she and co-star Milo Ventimiglia had to “hold back on” their off-screen ease with each other in Tuesday’s episode, which chronicled a cross-country road trip that took place when Rebecca and Jack had known each other for just a week.

Comedies and comedians often influence one other and cross-references are rampant in the pop landscape. So when No Activity star Tim Meadows and executive producer Nina Pedrad came to Vulture Festival, they talked about one of the most intriguing moments from the show’s season-two premiere, in which Jake Johnson’s character, mired in a police corruption scandal, recites Louie C.K.’s apology word for word. You know the one: It’s the “apology” C.K. issued in November 2017 after the New York Tim...

When the cast and creatives of AT&T’s Audience Network comedy Loudermilk visited Vulture Festival L.A., they shared some lesser known stories about how the show, now in its second season, came together.

Brooklyn Nine Nine‘s departing Chelsea Peretti is going out in a blaze of, well, Gina. “I can tease that Gina departs in a very Gina Linetti-esque way,” showrunner Dan Goor tells TVLine, adding that the character’s Season 6 swan song will be “funny but also… emotional. [Chelsea] is really one of the funniest people in the world and a great actress and I think all of that comes out in her exit.”
Last month, Peretti announced that she would be jumping ship shortly after the former Fox sitcom do...

It appears the Pearsons are adding a side dish of whiplash to their Thanksgiving menu. According to Chrissy Metz, Tuesday’s This Is Us — which finds the family coming together for what NBC calls an “unconventional” Turkey Day dinner — will feature a major revelation about a pivotal member of the immediate or extended family.
“We’re gonna learn something very, very important about one particular character we had no idea about,” Metz tells TVLine, before adding that the mini-bombshell is also “...

With Timeless‘ two-hour series finale fast approaching (though not fast enough, frankly), we decided to cut to the chase and seek out intel on its very final scene.
Season 2 of the NBC drama ended last May with a doozy of a cliffhanger: Future versions of Lucy and Wyatt arrived in the present-day bunker with a potential plan to save their dead teammate Rufus. NBC’s decision not to renew the series for Season 3 threatened to keep Rufus’ fate forever in flux, but closure was ultimately offered ...

At the Emmys Monday night, Ryan Murphy won his second award for directing, and like Sally Field winning her second Oscar, he’s thrilled that the Television Academy likes him right now. “It’s always such an honor to be nominated but I’ve never felt embraced by that peer group — which is obviously all about me and not about them,” Murphy told Vulture at the Fox/FX Emmy party after his win for directing Versace: American Crime Story. “I’ve lost that category five times in a row. I won for Glee b...
