Titus Welliver To Star In ‘The Westies' MGM+ Series
EXCLUSIVE: Former Bosch star Titus Welliver is back on the cop beat as a lead opposite J.K. Simmons in The Westies, MGM+'s upcoming period crime drama series from co-creator, executive producer and showrunner Chris Brancato. Co-created by Brancato and Michael Panes, The Westies is set in the early 1980s when the construction of the Jacob Javitz Convention Center on the Westies' home turf in Hell's Kitchen promises a financial windfall for the Irish-American organized crime gang. Despite being outnumbered 50-to-1 by the Five Families of the Italian mafia, The Westies' legendary brutality and cunning have given them the leverage necessary to share the spoils through a fragile détente. But internal conflict between the brash younger generation and the old-school leadership threatens to set a match to this powder keg, which will sweep the Westies into the FBI's ever-deepening investigation into the Italian mafia. More from Deadline 'Bosch' Spinoff 'Ballard' Starring Maggie Q Sets Premiere Date At Prime Video 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming Stephen King Series 'The Institute' Gets Premiere Date At MGM+; First Look Welliver will play Glenn Keenan, a troubled NYPD officer who grew up with the Westies crew, torn between loyalty to the law and love for his wayward son. He likely will spar with Simmons' Eamon Sweeney, the charismatic but ruthless leader of The Westies, in a pairing of two accomplished actors each of whom has headlined their own series. Production on the eight-episode The Westies is slated to begin in July in Toronto with casting by Seth Yanklewitz, CSA and Ben Pollack. Known for his role as LAPD Detective Harry Bosch in the Amazon franchise, Welliver recently starred in the proposed Equalizer spinoff for CBS. He next will be seen in the indie film Ricky, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.

Ed Sheeran Defends Saying He Is Culturally Irish
On Tuesday, Ed Sheeran's appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast was released, and one headline that came out of the interview ended up causing quite a stir on social media. During the chat, 34-year-old Ed, who was born and raised in Suffolk, England, said that he identifies culturally as Irish. This is arguably fair enough as Ed's father is Irish and hails from Belfast, with Ed spending much of his childhood in his dad's home country of Ireland. "I class my culture as Irish. I think that's what I grew up with," he told Louis. "My dad's family is... he's got seven brothers and sisters. We'd spend all of our holidays in Ireland. My first musical experiences were in Ireland, I grew up with trad music in the house. So I identify culturally as Irish, but I was obviously born and raised in Britain." "I don't overthink it, but I do feel like my culture is something that I'm really proud of and grew up with and want to express," Ed went on. "And I feel like just because I was born in Britain doesn't necessarily mean that I have to just be [British], there's loads of people I know that are half this or quarter this." "I don't think there's any rules to it. It should be how you feel and how you were raised and what you lean into,' he continued, and when Louis asked if he gets 'a lot of love' in Ireland, Ed said: 'It's basically my second home, musically. I'd say Ireland is the place that I am most successful musically." Before long, headlines along the lines of: 'Ed Sheeran says he identifies culturally as Irish' began to emerge on social media, and without the additional context of his dad's heritage as well as his childhood in Ireland, people were quick to mock the star's comments. 'I've seen B*Witched live and have watched a couple of Gaelic football games, which I think gives me an even more legitimate claim to be culturally Irish than Ed Sheeran,' one person in tweeted in response to one of the news stories. 'Me after 1 Guinness,' somebody else wrote, while another popular response reads: 'Made a song called 'Galway Girl' and now thinks he's Irish.' And on Wednesday, Ed took to his Instagram story to hit back at the discourse as he shared a screenshot of a comment that he left for the haters. 'For anyone with an opinion after what I said about my heritage on the @officiallouistheroux podcast x,' Ed wrote alongside the grab.'My dad is Irish. My family is Irish. I have an Irish passport,' Ed's comment begins. 'The culture I was brought up around is Irish. The first music I learnt was Irish.''Just coz I was born somewhere else doesn't change my culture,' he went on. 'I can be allowed to feel connection to a place half of my family is from.' You tell 'em, Ed — what do you make of his post? Let me know in the comments down below!

Jim Sheridan's ‘Re-creation' Puts One of Ireland's Most Troubling Murder Cases Back on Trial
For Jim Sheridan, the defense of the falsely accused isn't just a theme — it's a calling embedded deep in his DNA. 'My mother blamed herself for killing her mother, who died in childbirth,' says the Irish director and playwright. 'So it was inherent in me. In the womb, from the fucking start, this feeling for the wrongly accused.' That unwavering obsession, one that has powered the six-time Oscar nominee's career—from In the Name of the Father (1993), starring Daniel Day-Lewis as wrongly convicted IRA suspect Gerry Conlon, to his latest project Re-creation, which had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday—traces back to what Sheridan calls his 'pre-natal sense of guilt.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Regina Hall, Ice Spice Join New 'SpongeBob' Movie ITV Studios Names Tim Carter Managing Director, Unscripted, U.K. Disney+ Names Angela Jain Content Chief for EMEA Amid Slate Growth Push 'Whenever that happens,' he says, 'when I see somebody wrongly accused, it just flips a switch, and I go nuts, you know? I can't deal with it.' With Re-creation, Sheridan and co-director David Merriman explore one of Ireland's most haunting unsolved crimes: The 1996 murder of French film producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier, who was found brutally beaten outside her holiday home in Toormore, West Cork. The film constructs a fictionalized courtroom trial that never happened for a case that remains unresolved to this day. Sheridan already explored the case in a 5-part TV documentary, A Murder at the Cottage (2021), but came away with the sense he didn't do justice to the story. With Re-creation, he blends fiction, docudrama, and emotion in a way that defies genre conventions. 'I suppose, because I wanted to put into fiction what I couldn't put into documentary reality,' he explains. 'I wanted to show the blur between the lines between documentary, reality and fiction.' The hybrid formallowed Sheridan to address what he saw as failures in both the media and legal responses to du Plantier's murder—particularly the treatment of Ian Bailey, an English journalist and the primary suspect, who was arrested but never charged in Ireland, convicted in absentia in France, and who died still professing his innocence in 2024. Bailey's story came to global attention with the 2021 Netflix series Sophie: A Murder in West Cork, which Sheridan believes deeply misrepresented the truth. The My Left Foot and In America director has harsh words for the whole genre of true crime, which he sees as often driven by sensationalism and vendetta. 'The entire bloody True Crime genre is now based around In Cold Blood, Truman Capote. It's based around this relentless revenge agenda, and it's very uncomfortable to me,' he says. 'The actual greatest writer on true crime… is Thomas De Quincey (Confessions of an English Opium Eater). He was in the genre of the wrongly accused. That's a more empathetic position than this kind of avenging God bullshit.' Shot on a shoestring budget over three weeks — 'we wrote it in three weeks and filmed it three weeks later,' Sheridan says — the bulk of Re-creation unfolds in a single jury room, in homage to 12 Angry Men. The directors borrowed the claustrophobic intensity of Sidney Lumet's 1957 classic and fused it with the ambiguity of Justine Triet's Anatomy of a Fall to reflect skepticism toward both the judicial process and the media machine surrounding it. In an exclusive clip from the film (below), the jury tries to retrace Sophie's steps, and imagine her state of mind, on the night she was murdered. Sheridan himself plays the jury foreman. Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread) appears as the quietly forceful juror number 8, who becomes a symbolic voice for Sophie in the film. The ensemble also includes The Commitments star Colm Meaney in a silent role as Ian Bailey, Game of Thrones actor Aidan Gillen as a defense lawyer, and Irish actor and filmmaker John Connors (The Black Guelph) as one of the jurors. Though exteriors were filmed on location in West Cork, most interiors were shot on soundstages in Dublin and in Luxembourg. The script, while foundational, was heavily improvised. 'We only had an outline,' says Sheridan. 'It was an attempt to cross the line between fiction and fact and to show that those lines have been irretrievably blurred.' Thanks to Sheridan's dogged efforts, the murder investigation into the du Plantier case is currently the subject of a cold case review by the Garda Serious Crime Team, the Irish investigative police. Sheridan and Merriman hope their film rekindles public interest and spurs legal action. 'We're hopeful that, at least in Ireland, that this film could start a conversation which will drive people to, you know, do the right thing,' Merriman says. 'To search for justice and find out who actually killed Sophie Toscan du Plantier, rather than just saying, 'Oh, Ian Bailey did it,' and that's good for us, because he's English, so he's a villain.'
