Acorn TV Reaches New Viewership Highs In May With Month-Long Murder Mystery Event, Fueling Growth For ‘Harry Wilds’ & ‘The Brokenwood’
Acorn TV hit a major milestone in May, pulling in its highest viewership numbers ever thanks to a cleverly timed "Murder Mystery May" event. The streaming service cracked 20 million monthly hours watched for the first time, with shows like Harry Wild and The Brokenwood Mysteries getting a serious boost. What’s especially interesting? Acorn usually keeps its stats under wraps—so this peek behind the curtain shows just how well their strategy paid off.
Editor’s Note: For niche streamers like Acorn TV, these numbers are a big deal. It proves that themed events (like a month of murder mysteries) can pull in audiences even in a crowded market. Plus, it’s a win for fans of cozy crime shows—success like this means more seasons and similar content could be on the way. If you’ve ever wondered whether these smaller platforms can compete, here’s your answer.

Third Summer House Star Announces Exit After Season 9
neutralEntertainment
Another cast member is saying goodbye to Summer House. Imrul Hassan, who joined in Season 9 and quickly became known for his wild antics (including his self-proclaimed "orgy beast" persona), has announced he won’t be returning. His departure marks the third exit from the show this season, leaving fans wondering who’s left—and what this means for the drama.
Editor’s Note: Cast shake-ups are always a big deal in reality TV, especially for a show like Summer House that thrives on its group dynamic. Hassan’s exit—along with two others—could signal a major shift in the show’s vibe. Will Bravo bring in fresh faces, or will the remaining cast carry the drama? Either way, fans are already speculating about what’s next.
Why Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s Colorist Is Slamming Ryan Murphy Series
negativeEntertainment
Ryan Murphy’s upcoming series about JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy is already stirring controversy—this time from Bessette’s real-life hair colorist, who’s calling out the show’s creative liberties. The stylist, who worked closely with Carolyn, seems unimpressed with how the couple’s story is being portrayed, hinting that the glamorized version might miss the mark on authenticity.
Editor’s Note: When a show about real people—especially beloved or tragic figures—takes artistic license, it often ruffles feathers. In this case, someone who knew Carolyn personally is pushing back, which adds fuel to the debate over how Hollywood handles real-life stories. It’s a reminder that even decades later, the Kennedys (and those close to them) remain a touchy subject.
Music Publishers and X Begin ‘Good Faith’ Negotiations in Copyright Lawsuit
neutralEntertainment
Music publishers who sued X (formerly Twitter) over copyright claims are now in "good faith" talks to settle the dispute outside court, according to recent legal filings. Both sides signaled they’re working toward a resolution, though details remain under wraps.
Editor’s Note: This could mean fewer courtroom fireworks—but it’s a reminder of how messy copyright battles get when social platforms host unlicensed content. If settled, it might set a tone for how X handles music rights under Musk’s ownership. (Or just kick the can down the road.)
Blumhouse Closes Deal For ‘Saw’ Rights; Lionsgate Still Retains 50% Stake In Horror Property
neutralEntertainment
Blumhouse, the powerhouse behind modern horror hits, has finalized a deal to acquire Twisted Pictures' stake in the Saw franchise rights—though Lionsgate still holds onto 50% ownership. This move effectively reunites Saw with its original creator, James Wan (now part of Blumhouse after Atomic Monster’s merger), sparking speculation about where the gory, twist-filled series could go next.
Editor’s Note: Horror fans might want to sharpen their excitement—this deal could mean fresh, Wan-infused life for Saw. Blumhouse’s track record (think Get Out, The Purge) suggests they’ll either revive the franchise creatively or milk it dry. Either way, it’s a big shake-up for a series that’s been dormant since Spiral. If Wan’s involved, expect more than just recycled traps—maybe a return to the grim, inventive roots that made the first film a cult hit.
Cory Michael Smith To Topline Jeremy Saulnier’s Halloween-Set Fugitive Thriller ‘October’ For A24
positiveEntertainment
Cory Michael Smith, known for his standout performances in Succession-adjacent projects and Saturday Night, just landed his first big leading film role. He’ll star in October, a Halloween-set fugitive thriller directed by Jeremy Saulnier (Rebel Ridge) and produced by indie powerhouse A24. This marks a major step up for Smith—and another intriguing genre play for A24.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another casting announcement—it’s a signal that Cory Michael Smith is transitioning from "that guy you recognize" to leading man material. A24’s involvement means the film will likely be stylish and tense, while Saulnier’s track record (Blue Ruin, Green Room) suggests October could be a sleeper hit. For fans of smart, atmospheric thrillers, this one’s worth keeping an eye on.
