She's determined to reinvent herself in this singular neighborhood brimming with cafecito counters, Santería altars, and bench ads for ass implants. But first she must learn that, hay que resolver: you gotta work with what you've got." Danielle Claman Gelber and Teri Weinberg will also executive produce for Amazon Studios with Clark Johnson attached to direct and produce. (Deadline.com)

(Deadline.com)
UNTITLED THE BATMAN PROJECT (HBO Max) - Terence Winter is bowing out as showrunner of the series due to creative differences as "Winter's vision for the drama did not match what [Matt] Reeves and other producers had in mind." The search is underway for a replacement. (THR.com)
