'Sopranos' creator returns to TV

And Michelle Yeoh nearly breaks Oscar rule

What to know

• Sopranos creator David Chase returns to TV with new FX pilot… Chase is co-writing and co-creating a new drama series with A Teacher creator Hannah Fidell based on an old script of his. This is significant because it marks Chase’s return to episodic TV after making just 2 features since The Sopranos ended. It’s also of note that the project landed at FX considering Chase signed an overall deal with Warner Bros. Discovery in 2021. Let’s keep an eye on this one, because with David Chase, it’s possible nothing comes of it. After The Sopranos, he was working on an HBO miniseries about the dawn of Hollywood — but it never came to be. 📺
