TPAC announces Broadway shows coming to Nashville in 2025–26
Why it matters: TPAC's annual series brings touring productions of Broadway's best shows to us. It's a lot more convenient than flying to New York.
Between the lines: Lin-Manuel Miranda's epic "Hamilton," which will run from June 17–28, 2026, has already visited TPAC twice in the last few years. It drove record-setting ticket demand both times.
The revolutionary musical about the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway.
State of plays: Other shows coming to TPAC during its next season include "The Wiz," the classic musical retelling of "The Wizard of Oz" that predates "Wicked," and "Suffs," which traces multiple generations of the women's suffrage movement in the U.S.
Several musical adaptations of classic movies are on the schedule, including "Beauty and the Beast," "The Outsiders" and "Back to the Future."

'Alien: Earth': New prequel series turns Peter Pan-inspired character into a futurist with deadly ideas
A new 'Alien' prequel series reimagines corporate control and AI fears through a sci-fi lens — with a 'Peter Pan' twist Heading back aboard the Weyland-Yutani spaceship, the world of Alien continues to expand with the prequel series Alien: Earth (premiering at 8:00 p.m. ET on Disney+ in Canada), starring Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Babou Ceesay and Samuel Blenkin. It's set in the year 2120, two years before the events of Ridley Scott's 1979 film, in a world where five corporations control the globe: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. Boy Kavalier (Blenkin) was a young boy genius when he founded Prodigy. The CEO manufactured a new technological advancement with the creation of hybrids, a type of robot injected with human consciousness. The first hybrid is named Wendy, created amid a race for immortality. Created by Noah Hawley, the Peter Pan element of Alien: Earth is something that he described to reporters as being particularly linked to themes explored in previous Alien projects, but also our real world today. "For me, it started with the fact that I'm raising kids, and I'm raising kids in this world in which the natural world is starting to turn on us and the technology we've created, the jury's out on whether that's going to turn on us," Hawley said. "And when they asked me if I had any ideas for Alien, I thought, well, that's what Alien is about. It's about ... primordial monsters of our past that are trying to kill Sigourney [Weaver]. And then the AI future we realize is also trying to kill her. So humanity is trapped between the AI future and the monsters of the past." "Once I started with this idea of bringing children into this story—the human minds transferred into synthetic bodies—then the Peter Pan analogy came pretty quickly after that." Chandler is tasked with portraying Wendy, with the the actor navigating playing a character that has a "child's consciousness," in an adult form. "Wendy is very much a blank page," Chandler said. "I feel like Noah was able to create a very layered, grounded character." "As far as balancing the two, it really depended on who I was acting with on the day and in what scene. Every actor would bring a different colour to the work, which would kind of give me more information of who I am playing. It was kind of a collaboration of finding Wendy that way. But I would have this image of two magnets kind of pressing up against each other, and you just can't get them to touch as far as the mind, which is known, and this body, which is unknown territory. It's kind of like what's in the middle." But as Hawley highlighted, so much of what informs the Alien franchise is this evaluation of capitalism and corporate control, but the "boy genius" element makes this prequel series very relevant for its 2025 release. "So much of what defines Alien and Aliens is this idea that there's this nameless, faceless Weyland-Yutani corporation and these individuals, the space truckers or the soldiers, ... they're really at the mercy of this nameless, faceless corporation," Hawley said. "In our day and age, our corporations have faces and the faces of these young technocrats, who are celebrity CEO billionaires." "So, if I had done the 1970s version of capitalism, it wouldn't have felt right for the world that we live in today. And so once the Peter Pan analogy emerged in the storytelling, then it became clear that the CEO who invents this hybrid technology should be the Peter Pan character himself in Boy Kavalier. What you see is that it always felt to Yaphet Kotto and Harry Dean Stanton that they were at the whim of this larger corporation. But here, I think we really feel like it really is all about the whim of Boy Kavalier, how he feels from moment to moment. Yeah, let's send these billion-dollar prototypes to a crash site. That sounds like a good idea, right? So we're in a different sort of state where the individual is at the mercy now, not just of this nameless, faceless corporation, but these sort of boy geniuses." Ridley Scott influence: 'I was on the runway, he was on his own runway' Through every Alien-related project, Ridley Scott has been known to connect with the talents helming expansions of the franchise. For Alien: Earth, Hawley connected with the director of the original film, but very much felt like he was able to take his own path. "I started talking to Sir Ridley early on in the process. I had done my due diligence in thinking through an idea that I wanted to explore within the show, but first I wanted to talk to Ridley and see, both his experiences on the first film and then what was in his mind going into Prometheus and Covenant and start to let him in on some of the ideas that that I had for the show," Hawley said. "And every time I spoke to him, he was storyboarding what felt like a different movie. I think in the course of our conversations, it was The Last Duel. It was [House of] Gucci. It was Napoleon. So in the course of making a single season of television, that 87-year-old man made three or four huge films. ...So, we were slacking and he was working. I think my job as a filmmaker is really to make decisions, right? And Ridley's job is the same. I think once he realized that ... he did not have those responsibilities on this show, he wants to move on to the next thing. He's got a real agenda. So, we would speak from time to time, but mostly after I was on the runway, he was on his own runway."

What Did You Think of the ‘Alien: Earth' Premiere?
It's not every day that a beloved sci-fi franchise gets a long-awaited TV series, but today is one of those days. The first two episodes of Alien: Earth are now on Hulu and FX, and fans can finally see what happens when the man behind Fargo teams up with Ridley Scott to make an Alien show. That man is Noah Hawley, who wrote and directed Tuesday's pilot episode, 'Neverland,' and wrote the second episode, 'Mr. October.' Hawley has been thinking about the show for over five years, which is when Disney first announced it was teaming up with him to bring Alien to television. To put that in perspective, it was literally announced at the same time as Y: The Last Man, which has since been made, aired, canceled, and mostly forgotten. (Sorry, Y, it was a valiant effort.) Now after years of tantalizing quotes, questions, and curiosity about what a Hawley Alien show could look like, it's finally here. And we think it's great. We'll have a full, in-depth, spoiler-filled recap of episodes one and two on Wednesday morning. But, for now, since it's been almost half a decade since we first heard about this show, we thought we'd give you a chance to talk about it as soon as possible. What did you think? Did the show live up to those expectations? What about the balance of making the show feel Alien but also feel unique to itself? Did you think things got taken up a notch in that second episode once, well, no spoilers just yet? Let's just say there's a good reason why FX chose to debut not one but two episodes of the show. Once you see the second episode, you'll know why. Alien: Earth stars Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille, and Moe Bar-El. The first two episodes are now on Hulu and FX, and new episodes will debut at 8 p.m. ET on Hulu and 8 p.m. ET/PT on FX for the rest of the season. Want more io9 news?

‘King Of The Hill' Season 14 Scores Best Adult Animation Premiere In 5 Years On Disney+ & Hulu
Viewers flocked back to Arlen, Texas, for the premiere of King of the Hill Season 14. The premiere episode drew 4.4M views in its first seven days of streaming, marking the most-viewed adult animation season premiere across Disney+ and Hulu in five years, per Disney. More from Deadline 'Wednesday' Storms Back Atop Netflix Weekly TV Charts With Season 2; 'Kpop Demon Hunters' Rises To No. 2 On Most Popular Film List Everything We Know About 'Only Murders In The Building' Season 5 So Far 'Only Murders In The Building's Season 5 Trailer Hints At Mob Connection In Doorman Death Investigation Disney doesn't report viewership on its titles consistently enough to make a direct comparison here, though the company has shed light on streaming performance for a few other titles over the past several years. When it does release viewership numbers, Disney tends to be inconsistent with the measurement period. Last year, for example, the first episode of Agatha All Along drew 9.3M views in the first seven days of streaming, according to the company. Meanwhile, The Acolyte hit 11.1M views in five days. More recently, Disney reported that Zombies 4 reached 9.3M views in 10 days. However, none of these titles could help directly illustrate King of the Hill's performance, since they don't target the same demographic. Nielsen might also help paint a picture of the series' performance, but those numbers won't be available for another few weeks. Nielsen streaming reports are a month delayed. Per Disney, King of the Hill Season 14 premiered on Hulu's Top 15 Today and has maintained a spot in the top 5 since its launch on August 4. Since early March, when buzz for the new season began, it has driven a 41% lift in viewing of previous seasons of King of the Hill, the company adds. Overall, King of the Hill has now crossed 1B hours streamed globally across Disney+ and Hulu. Set in the fictional Arlen, Texas, the original series followed the life of Hank Hill, an enthusiastic seller of propane and propane accessories; his wife, Peggy, local Boggle champ and substitute teacher; and their son, Bobby, who defied any expectation his father had for a son. Hank's friends – conspiracy theorist Dale, military barber Bill, and cool but inarticulate Boomhauer, along with Peggy's friends Minh and meteorologist Nancy, and Bobby's friend Connie helped the Hills navigate a changing world. In Season 14, after years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg, Hank and Peggy Hill return to a changed Arlen, Texas to reconnect with old friends Dale, Boomhauer and Bill. Meanwhile, Bobby is living his dream as a chef in Dallas and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph and Chane. Cast includes Mike Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Johnny Hardwick, Stephen Root, Lauren Tom, and Toby Huss.
