Miley Cyrus might have started her music and acting career as the innocent daughter of country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, appearing on the Disney channel and releasing kid-friendly music. But those teenage years hit her hard, as Cyrus grew into her adulthood, shedding her innocent persona and becoming the heir apparent to ‘80s/’90s Madonna. And according to the star, her antics ended up costing her a job on a pretty big film.

In a move that feels apropos for a celebrity that has dominated multiple mediums in various stages of her career, Miley Cyrus and Netflix are taking their collaboration on one of the newest episodes of “Black Mirror” beyond the streaming platform’s borders.

Cyrus plays a major role in one of the new season’s episodes, “Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too,” as Ashely O, a pop superstar not too far removed from the reality we associate with Cyrus until she introduces a doll capturing her likeness with the technologically-rooted uneasiness that we’ve come to expect from the show.

Cerebral, innovative, thought-provoking—it seems like only yesterday that critics across the planet were freely tossing out compliments such as these at Netflix’s “Black Mirror,” in praise of what many considered to be this generation’s version of “The Twilight Zone.”

And rightfully so. Upon its debut, “Black Mirror” personified itself as a refreshing rallying cry for the intellectual viewer. Armed to the teeth with social commentary and razor-sharp writing, the anthology series promised to shake up the very culture it simultaneously sought out to critique.

When the first couple of seasons of “Black Mirror” were released, the series was viewed as a peek into an alternate future/reality where our worst technological fears would come to life. But now, the series can be viewed as prophecy, as our worst fears seem to be more and more like reality.

So, when Netflix releases new trailers for the upcoming season of “Black Mirror,” we don’t share them because we think they’re cool and worth your time.

During the current streaming revolution, the likes of Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Studios have been trying to position themselves as power players and disruptors in the film and television industry. And so far it’s working. Specifically, Amazon has attempted to create a narrative of embracing critically acclaimed works, much to the delight of cinephiles and the media. In a climate in which the boutique theatrical business is shrinking and it is harder to get indie films made, Amazon has given shelter to celebrated filmmakers like Park Chan-Wook, Jim Jarmusch and Spike Lee and has provided a home to prestige series like “Transparent” and “Fleabag,” in addition to acquiring awards season contenders like “Manchester By The Sea.” So when the studio announced it would present the first ever TV series from Woody Allen, it caused a major commotion.

The revolution will not be televised, but it will get Woody Allen-ized, with the prolific writer/director delivering his first TV series with “Crisis In Six Scenes.” The filmmaker heads to Amazon for the project, for what will likely be a one-time only affair, delivering six half-hour episodes. And it looks like it could be a winner.

The new, full length trailer highlights the rest of the players who will be supporting Allen including Miley Cyrus, Elaine May, John Magaro and Rachel Brosnahan, in the tale of a suburban family who get caught up in the social change of the 1960s.

Woody Allen is no J.J. Abrams —he’s never been known to furiously protect his secrets, such as making cast members and crew sign NDAs— yet details on his upcoming movies are always scarce. In fact, the title of his new Amazon series “Crisis In Six Scenes” was under wraps for months. But Entertainment Weekly has a first look at photos of the show, which amount to a kind of synopsis of the 1960s set series.

At eighty years old, Woody Allen is working at the speed of a filmmaker a third of his age. On top of releasing “Café Society” this summer, and gearing up his next feature film to shoot this fall, the director shot an Amazon series this past spring, and is set to release it next month.

Titled “Crisis In Six Scenes,” Allen, wrote, directed and stars in the show, with Miley Cyrus, Elaine May, Rachel Brosnahan, John Magaro, Michael Rapaport, Margaret Ladd, David Harbour, Joy Behar, Christine Ebersole, Becky Ann Baker, Lewis Black and Rebecca Schull among the players in the 1960s-set series that sees a suburban family dealing with the social upheaval around them.

Woody Allen spoke to The Hollywood Reporter this week to discuss his new film “Café Society,” and the piece is already kicking up backlash and outrage. Perhaps rightly so. The director is asked how his wife has changed him and he goes on to explain how he has changed her and bettered her life because she was an orphan and…. maybe Woody Allen just shouldn’t be remarking on his personal life because it’s just never going to come out right and has been marred with understandable controversy since it started.
