Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher

+ Queen Sugar is back in production! Season five will tackle Black Lives Matter, COVID, and the election.

+ I don’t know if it’s the lack of TV and film production and so a general lack of pop culture news or what, but I have never seen so many interviews with Sarah Paulson and Cynthia Nixon in my entire life as I have since Ratched was released. Today’s is from EW: Cynthia Nixon dishes on that sexy oyster-eating scene, whatever that means!

+ Sam Jay is getting her own late night show. (Don’t miss Shelli’s review of her stand-up special.)

+ Christine Baranski and Jenifer Lewis have joined Debbie Allen’s Dolly Parton Christmas movie in which Dolly plays a literal angel.

+ I, for one, cannot wait for Leslie Jones’ Supermarket Sweep, the greatest game show OF ALL TIME.
