“Fighting for change politically requires faith,” says Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a new trailer for “To the End.” Rachel Lears’ follow-up to “Knock Down the House,” her 2019 portrait of Ocasio-Cortez and three other female Democrats running for Congress in the 2018 U.S. elections, re-teams her with the politician and activist.

This time around, Lears is spotlighting “a new generation of leaders and the movement behind the most sweeping climate change legislation in U.S. history,” per the doc’s synopsis. Joining Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are activist Varshini Prakash, climate policy writer Rhiana Gunn-Wright, and political strategist Alexandra Rojas.

Filmed over four years, “To the End” will take audiences from street protests to

Kelly Marcel is set to make her directorial debut with a big budget comic adaptation. After co-writing the screenplay for 2018’s “Venom” and penning 2021’s “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” she’s been tapped to helm “Venom 3.” The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the news.

Currently undated, “Venom 3” will see Tom Hardy reprising his role as a journalist who merges with an alien, a transformation that leaves him with superhuman powers.

The first “Venom” grossed over $856 million worldwide, and the second took in more than $506 million. Michelle Williams, who is receiving Oscar buzz this year for “The Fabelmans,” co-stars in the franchise.

Marcel’s other writing credits include Sam Taylor-Johnson’s

Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Busy Philipps, and Paula Pell are bringing their B.P.E. to Netflix. A press release announced that the streamer has greenlit Season 3 of “Girls5eva.” Looks like the foursome is “gonna be famous 5eva.”

Above all else, Phylliss Nagy’s “Call Jane” is a testament to the bulletproof resilience of women in the face of adversity. Written by Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi, the Elizabeth Banks-starrer demonstrates the power of women even — especially — when mired in the most horrific circumstances, even when spouses, friends, family members, entire institutions are working against them. In 120 forceful minutes of anger, frustration, laughter, and inspiration, “Call Jane” reminds us, perhaps when we need it most, the formidable might of women when we unite to retaliate against our oppressors.

The latest Hollywood Diversity Report from UCLA has found, for the first time since the study commenced nine years ago, that BIPOC “collectively reached or exceeded proportionate representation among the main cast” across broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms. This milestone has been enjoyed by mostly Black and multiracial folks in top roles, while Latinx persons remain drastically underrepresented on the small screen. The report has also found that the TV industry has become more segmented in the wake of the pandemic and that job opportunities are not equally distributed to women and minorities working in the field as White men creators continue to receive bigger budgets.

Set in 1968 Chicago, “Call Jane” sees Elizabeth Banks playing Joy, a surburban housewife whose ordinary life gets turned upside down when her pregnancy leads to a life-threatening heart condition. In our exclusive clip of the Phyllis Nagy-directed drama, Joy petitions the (all-male) Board of a hospital to permit her an emergency termination of her pregnancy, which is putting her own life in danger.

The group proceeds to decide Joy’s fate as if she’s not even in the room. Any chance that she can survive the pregnancy seems to be enough to convince them that an abortion isn’t an option. As Joy observes, a “healthy baby” is all that matters

“Friendship is about the moments we share — the ones we celebrate, and the ones we don’t expect,” we’re told in a new trailer for Season 3 of “First Wives Club.” From “Girls Trip” scribe Tracy Oliver, the BET+ series is based on the 1996 film of the same name and follows Hazel (Jill Scott), Bri (Michelle Buteau), and Jayla (Michelle Mitchenor), three friends living in New York City.

The spot sees the trio dealing with the kind of moment they aren’t expecting — Hazel’s tropical wedding does not go as planned. “What in the Black version of ‘Runaway Bride’ is going on?” Bri asks.
