The film, which was based on the novel, takes place in an Oregon psychiatric hospital and starred Jack Nicholson as Randle McMurphy, a new patient at the mental institution and his struggle to rise up against the evil nurse, Mildred Ratched played by Louise Fletcher.

Ryan Murphy and Evan Romansky’s Ratched gives us an origin story of the infamous Nurse Ratched. Sarah Paulson plays the title role and we see her deceive her way into Lucia’s State Hospital which is run by Dr. Hanover (Jon Jon Briones). This is truly just the beginning of Nurse Ratched as she will stop at nothing to get what she wants. It seems as though she has no moral compass—she engages in blackmail, importunes a suicide, and poisons a patient, just to make her way into the nursing staff at the mental hospital. And did we mention all of this happens by Episode 2?

Throughout the eight-episode series, we see that Mildred Ratched has a purpose for all of her nasty behaviors, and what seems to guide her is her love for her brother, Edmund Tolleson (Finn Wittrock), who’s a patient at the hospital after killing three priests and traumatizing a fourth.

We also see that Ratched did not have an easy childhood and that much of what she does may be a result of her less than perfect formative years. We learn that Mildred grew up as an orphan and was placed in the system with another child, Edmund, who she views as her brother. While in the system, they were tortured by all their caregivers and asked to perform sexual asks on one another before Edmund decides to murder his last set of caregivers.

While Nurse Ratched has a clearly evil side, we also see her softer side when she mercifully kills badly injured soldiers while she’s an army nurse after they beg her to end their pain. She also starts a love affair with Gwendolyn Briggs (Cynthia Nixon) and will do anything to make sure that her lover is cancer-free, healthy, and happy.

Nurse Ratched refers to herself as an “angel of mercy” which begs us to think is there such a thing and is Nurse Ratched really that bad? Honestly, after seeing Ratched we’re kind of rooting for Mildred, but we know that she returns to her evil ways when she returns as head nurse in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

We’re hoping there’s a second season to Ratched so we can continue to learn more about Mildred Ratched and how she becomes a head nurse at the Oregon psychiatric hospital.

Season 2 of The Politician will catch up with Ben Platt’s Payton Hubert, a 22-year-old who dreams of becoming President, and to make that goal a reality, he has to make his way to the senate.

The second season adds Judith Light who plays Senate Majority Leader Dede Standish, Payton’s new rival, and Bette Midler who plays her Chief of Staff, Hadassah Gold. Before unseating Standish, Payton has to figure out what kind of politician to be. Does he want to expose his component’s secrets and lies?

Gwyneth Paltrow returns as Payton’s mom, Georgina Hobart, who from the trailer looks like she doesn’t fully support her son’s political ambitions. Also returning are Zoey Deutsch, Lucy Boynton, Laura Dreyfuss, Theo Germaine, David Corenswet, and Ryan Haddad. Jackie Hoffman has been added to Season 2.

The Politician was created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan. Paltrow, Platt, and Alexis Martin Woodall served as executive producers. 

Check out the trailer below.

The forthcoming installment of FX’s hit horror franchise has a BIG cast, which features both returning series veterans as well as newcomers. The full list was revealed by series co-creator Ryan Murphy on Instagram.

AHS was recently renewed through season 13. 

“Ryan and Brad [Falchuk] are the undisputed masters of horror TV, having created the anthological limited series with American Horror Story and sustaining its success for nearly a decade as FX’s highest-rated series,” John Landgraf, FX Networks and FX Productions chairman, said in a statement in January 2020. “We are grateful to them and Dana Walden and our studio partners for committing to another three years.”

Murphy’s upcoming Netflix music-oriented adaptation of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical has added Kerry Washington to its cast. 

She joins previously announced Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Awkwafina, James Corden, Ariana Grande, Keegan-Michael Key, and Andrew Rannells. 

According to TVLine, the story centers on four-down-and-out Broadway actors — Streep, Kidman, Corden, and Rannells, who head to Indiana to help a gay teen whose prom was canceled when she tried to bring her girlfriend as her date.

Still no word on Washington’s character.

The streaming service announced the casting news Friday. 

The new additions join the previously announced Patti LuPone, Holland Taylor, and Darren Criss.

Little is known about the limited drama series. When originally announced in a profile of Murphy in TIME magazine, the prolific producer called the project “a love letter to the Golden Age of Tinseltown.” Set in the 1940s it will center on three lead characters played by Pope, Criss and Corenswet.

Hollywood is Murphy’s first project under his overall deal with the streamer. It is also Murphy’s third show for Netflix following The Politician and Ratched.

The Glee alum confirmed that he’s officially on board for Murphy’s first original series under his overall deal at Netflix.

“Honored to say that I’m heading back to the House of Murphy where I’ll be starring in but also executive producing HOLLYWOOD with Time’s King of Television,” he wrote on Instagram Saturday. 

He continued” “Late last year, [Ryan Murphy] and I had dinner where he shared that he wanted to do a period piece that was young and optimistic. We landed on the idea of a series covering several narratives from 1940s Hollywood. We both left that evening feeling super excited about its potential. Two days later Netflix bought it. Not only is that a testament to the magic of Ryan Murphy, it’s a reminder of the kind of thing that can only happen in Hollywood…literally.”

Criss and Murphy collaborated on Glee, American Horror Story, and The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.

Hollywood is set to debut on the streaming service in the spring of 2020.

Murphy is working on a small-screen adaptation of the 1976 Broadway musical A Chorus Line. The 10-part mini-series will retell the iconic story that gives a behind-the-scenes look at a group of Broadway dancers. 

Murphy also revealed he’s working on a limited drama about Halston, the famed fashion designer. He also confirmed that Ewan McGregor will play the protagonist.

And there’s also something for Jessica Lange fans — the two are also working on a project that will feature Murphy’s American Horror Story leading lady.

“Jessica Lange and I are working on a piece about Marlene Dietrich in Vegas in the early ’60s,” he told the outlet. “But I’m so booked. When am I going to do it? I don’t know.” 

He also divulged that that Patti LuPone boarded Hollywood, his first original series for the streaming giant. The series will ”look at Hollywood and the sex industry, and how absolutely everything has changed and nothing has changed.”

Murphy moved his overall deal from 20th Century Fox TV to Netflix in early 2018.

Ryan Murphy and Steven Canals’ dance musical is set in the world of 1987 and “looks at the juxtaposition of several segments of life and society in New York: the rise of the luxury universe, the downtown social and literary scene and the ball culture world.”

The announcement of a renewal comes just a week after the series’ sophomore season debuted. The second season was announced after six freshman season episodes aired.

“Pose has elevated our culture and the TV landscape like few shows before it, and we are honored to partner with co-creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Steven Canals on a third season,” FX chairman John Landgraf said Monday in a statement.

“Our thanks to the entire creative team, including Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Alexis Martin Woodall, Sherry Marsh, Janet Mock, Our Lady J, Erica Kay, the amazing cast and crew and everyone at Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions for this incredibly entertaining, enlightening and groundbreaking series.”

Pose’s second season premiere was its most-watched episode to date, drawing 1.2 million viewers in total according to The Hollywood Reporter. Its current season is definitely well received, scoring an impressive 96 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The series stars Billy Porter and Mj Rodriguez as well as Dominique Jackson, Indya Moore, Hailie Sahar, Angelica Ross, Charlayne Woodard, Ryan Jamaal Swain, Dyllon Burnside, Angel Bismark Curiel and Sandra Bernhard.
