To watch and share the trailer, click HERE: https://youtu.be/Lt9N44meIoU. THE CIRCUS will hit the ground running in March, covering the lead-up to the most consequential midterm elections in our lifetime. As President Joe Biden's agenda stalls, his poll numbers slide, inflation spikes and the nation grows ever more divided over the Covid-19 pandemic, the November midterms will not only determine control of Congress but the future of the Biden presidency. The program will also pull back the curtain on this extraordinary and precarious moment, examining how former President Donald Trump continues to undermine the country's electoral process, and as the Republican Party, under his sway, passes laws in state after state restricting voter access to the polls and changing how votes are counted. As THE CIRCUS returns, nothing short of the future of American democracy is on the line.
- Hulu has given an 8-episode drama series order to the adaptation of Alexis Schaitkin’s acclaimed debut novel, “Saint X,” from ABC Signature.

- This week, alternative pop singer and songwriter bülow unveils a new single entitled “Don’t Break His Heart" via Republic Records. The new track unleashes a new sound from bülow, with much more to come this year. Regarding the track, she shared, “I let my curiosity lead me and ended up getting way too deep with somebody I didn’t have business going deep with. I tend to go with the flow if it feels good and sometimes it gets me in trouble. It’s weird sometimes I don't understand my emotions entirely, but that’s why I wrote this song.”
- After releasing her critically acclaimed sophomore album When I Close My Eyes last fall and (unintentionally) shaking up the internet and music industry earlier this month, Platinum-Certified singer, songwriter, and producer Chelsea Cutler returns today with her new single “the lifeboat’s empty!” out now alongside the official video—listen HERE and watch HERE. The new song will be featured on her upcoming deluxe version of When I Close My Eyes, set to be released later this spring. On the inspiration behind the new song, Chelsea says, “I’m so excited to continue the When I Close My Eyes era with the deluxe album and start it off with one of my favorite songs I’ve ever made – ‘the lifeboat’s empty!’. I had a lot of fun making this one and think it’s going to absolutely go off on tour.”
