Hoffman Family Gold Season 3 will mark the end of an era for the popular Discovery Channel series. That’s because it’s the last time three generations of the family are working together.

Tele München Group and Storied Media Group completed a second round of investment funding to continue to build Smg. The new capital allows Tele Munchen Group, which acquired a minority stake in Smg in early 2017, to continue to accelerate its growth plans in serving high-end published content to Hollywood producers, and jumpstarting Smg’s newly created platform StoryScout. The new StoryScout service, which now includes high-end publishers from around the globe, curates thousands of articles every day, tags the best stories fit for television and film for the global marketplace, and makes them available in real time to customers 24 hours a day. Smg has begun rolling out the service to producers, management companies, studios, networks, and agencies.
Smg/StoryScout-brokered fare includes the eight-part series Modern Love, a half-hour romantic comedy series based on The New York Times column that is currently in pre-production at Amazon Studios. Filmmaker John Carney will write, direct and produce the series, which explores love in its many different forms. Another is the Clint Eastwood-directed The Mule, which Eastwood stars in with Bradley Cooper, Taissa Farmiga, Michael Peña and Laurence Fishburne for Warner Bros.
Said Smg founder/CEO Todd Hoffman: “We are so grateful that Tele München Group has doubled-down on Storied Media Group and StoryScout and see huge potential for our global growth. StoryScout is a unique disruptor in the industry and given initial reaction, we think we are on to something very special.”
Said Tele Munchen managing director Herbert L. Kloiber: “We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Storied Media Group and Todd Hoffman. Smg has done tremendously well so far in selling high-end scripted projects and launching StoryScout and we are happy to further support Todd and Smg in their endeavors. Smg is a good example of how we pursue our strategic goals of diversifying internationally and taking advantage of digital opportunities.”...

Exclusive: Christina Milian has been cast as a series regular on the sophomore season of The Oath, Sony Crackle’s gritty drama from executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. Leona Lewis and Zulay Henao will recur during Season 2.
Kevin Connolly will guest star on the series and direct multiple episode of Season 2, which has begun production in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Created by Joe Halpin, The Oath explores a world of gangs made up of those sworn to protect and defend and sheds light on corrupt and secret societies that are nearly impossible to join. Only a select few make the cut — but once inside, members will do what they must to protect each other from enemies on the outside and from within their own ranks. Season 2, which was ordered in April, finds the Ravens trying to free themselves from their debt to the cartel. The season will examine themes of family and redemption,...

Clint Eastwood’s next directing/starring effort in crime movie The Mule will be a reunion with Bradley Cooper.
The Mule will see Bradley Cooper reignite a successful creative collaboration with the one and only Clint Eastwood. This time, however, Cooper, who was famously led to Oscar-nominated accolades with his starring role in the Eastwood-directed 2014 biographical military drama, American Sniper, will be joined onscreen by Eastwood.
Indeed, Clint Eastwood will not only serve as director of The Mule, but will co-headline the Warner Bros. film with Bradley Cooper, depicting the tale of an elderly drug courier. Eastwood works off a script by Nick Schenk, who wrote his successful starring effort in 2008’s Gran Torino.
The Mule Release Date
The Mule is scheduled to smuggle its way to theaters on December 14, just in time for Christmas.

Bradley Cooper may be reuniting with Clint Eastwood in his next film.
Sources tell Variety that Cooper is in talks to join Eastwood in “The Mule,” Eastwood’s next directing gig that he also plans to star in.
The film is a co-production between Warner Bros. and Imperative Entertainment, and will mark Eastwood’s first acting job since the 2012 baseball drama “Trouble With the Curve.” This could also be one of his final on-screen appearances.
The movie is based on a 2014 New York Times Magazine feature by Sam Dolnick and follows Earl Stone (Eastwood), a man in his 80s who is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive—easy enough but, unbeknownst to Earl, he’s just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel, and also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates.

Updated: “The Oath,” the L.A.-set crime drama from executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, is returning for a second season on Sony’s Crackle streaming network.
According to Sony, “The Oath” season 1 — which premiered March 8 with the bingeable release of all 10 episodes — has been Crackle’s most-watched original series ever and currently has the highest viewer-retention rate. Sony didn’t release specific metrics, however.
“The Oath” explores the secret underworld of gang crime rings — in which the members who make the cut take a pledge to do whatever it takes to protect each other from their enemies. Season 1 of “The Oath” was shot in Puerto Rico over three months last year, interrupted by the devastation of Hurricane Maria.
“Our audience has truly responded to this authentic, raw, and compelling series,” Eric Berger, Crackle Gm and chief digital officer of Sony Pictures Television Networks, said at Crackle’s upfront presentation...
