In the film directed by Gavin O'Connor, which follows up 2016's The Accountant, Affleck reprises his role as Christian Wolff, who has a talent for solving complex problems. When an old acquaintance is murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message to 'find the accountant,' Wolff is compelled to solve the case. Realizing more extreme measures are necessary, Wolff recruits his estranged and highly lethal brother, Brax (Bernthal), to help. In partnership with U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), they uncover a deadly conspiracy, becoming targets of a ruthless network of killers who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.
Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson, and J.K. Simmons also star in the film, penned by Bill Dubuque, for which Affleck, Lynette Howell Taylor, and Mark Williams served as producers.
Grossing $155M worldwide in its 2016 theatrical release before going on to become the most-rented digital film of the subsequent year, the first Accountant introduced Affleck as a highly skilled CPA with autism who leads a double life as a forensic accountant for criminal organizations. Affleck and Matt Damon's Artists Equity served as the studio for the sequel and set the pic up at Amazon MGM after acquiring sequel rights from Warner Bros.

Channel 4 Strategy Boss Exiting After Five Years
EXCLUSIVE: Channel 4 strategy chief Khalid Hayat is exiting after five years. The news was revealed yesterday in an all-staff email seen by Deadline from interim CEO Jonathan Allan, who also set out a temporary change in reporting structure as CEO Alex Mahon gets set to exit. Hayat will leave in September and succession plans will be announced in due course. More from Deadline Channel 4 Says It Doesn't Use NDAs, But Documents Reveal Company Is Curbing Free Speech Of Aggrieved Ex-Employees Ollie Madden Exiting Film4/Channel 4 To Join Netflix As Director Of UK Film; Farhana Bhula & Gwawr Lloyd Upped At UK Broadcaster Channel 4 Boss Alex Mahon Hits Back At "Excitable" Wayne Garvie's Criticism Of In-House Plan Allan said Hayat, Channel 4's Director of Strategy & Consumer Insight who has been with the broadcaster since 2020, is exiting 'to explore new challenges and I'd like to thank him for all the sterling work he has down for C4 through the many challenges that have presented themselves.' During his tenure, Hayat, who used to work for ITV, has been part of a nations and regions relocation, successful battle to avoid privatization, digital strategy and a Fast Forward plan. He told Deadline it had 'been a privilege to do my bit to contribute to Channel 4's digital transformation over recent years,' as he flagged successes like a 'refresh of strategic direction through Future4 and Fast Forward, navigating the complexities of the privatisation debate and securing a new licence that positions Channel 4 confidently for the next decade.' 'I'm confident Channel 4 is in a strong place to take on whatever comes next,' he added. 'When I do depart, I'll leave as a friend and admirer of Channel 4 – and I'm honoured to have spent five fantastic years here.' Interim CEO Allan is about to take over temporarily from the departing Mahon and he set out a reorganization of reporting lines 'on a temporary basis until a new CEO arrives' in his all-staffer, noting that he would 'just have too many direct reports to manage the business effectively' if things remained the same. Changes include Film4's Farhana Bhula and Director of Equity and Inclusion Marcia Williams reporting to Chief Commercial Affairs Officer Martin Baker, Chief Commercial Officer Rak Patel taking responsibility for 4Ventures and nations and regions boss Sinead Rocks taking on policy and public affairs. Allan said he will hold Q&A sessions in all Channel 4 offices over the next month. The news comes at a time of change for Channel 4, which has also lost chair Ian Cheshire and Film4/TV drama boss Ollie Madden.

YouTube overtakes streaming rivals as the go-to for TV and movies
Gone are the days when YouTube was just for catching up on vlogs or diving into late-night rabbit holes. Today, the platform is staking its claim in TV and film. According to a new survey conducted by Looper Insights between April 16 and 25, 66% of consumers discover TV or film content via YouTube. For 61%, it's already part of their regular streaming habits, and for 34%, it's a main source for TV and film content, as reported by Media Play News. This shift isn't surprising. In April, the Google-owned platform captured a record 12.4% share of all TV viewing. And it's not just rival streamers who should be concerned. For three consecutive months, YouTube has ranked as the No. 1 distributor of television content, according to Nielsen. Media executives are taking notice. Among the 65 surveyed, 84% view YouTube as a viable platform for launching long-form content, and 30% are actively considering it for upcoming releases. In Q1 2025, more Americans watched YouTube on TV screens than on mobile devices—a first. Meeting audiences in the living room, media companies have begun uploading premium content directly to the platform. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. quietly released more than 30 full-length films on YouTube, free to watch. Yet as YouTube continues its rise, creators face critical decisions. Some, like Ms Rachel, have signed licensing deals with Netflix. MrBeast (aka Jimmy Donaldson), YouTube's most-subscribed creator, brought Beast Games to the small screen via Prime Video. Still, many fans would rather their favorite YouTubers stay where they started. More than half (54%) of respondents said YouTubers feel more authentic and better suited to the platform that launched their careers. Meanwhile, nearly three-quarters (74%) of executives noted that creator-led shows often underperform on platforms like Netflix and Prime, citing poor audience migration and an overreliance on follower counts.
