Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Apparently TV can’t get enough “Melrose Place.” The campy sudser from the 1990s, which was already rebooted once in the 2010s, is looking to make another comeback — and this time with three of the OG stars. Heather Locklear (who was always billed as a “special guest star” back in the day, although once joining the drama she quickly took lead), Laura Leighton and Daphne Zuniga are all back to reprise their roles in the latest reboot, this time from writer Lauren Gussis. Gussis will also exec produce with Leighton, Zuniga, Tiffany Grant and Jason Weinberg.
Gillian Anderson had trouble making up her mind about her role in Scoop.
Gillian Anderson, the star of Netflix’s new drama Scoop, has opened up about the “guilt” she felt early on her career, when she returned to work on sci-fi series The X-Files just ten days after giving birth. Speaking on NBC's TODAY show, Gillian revealed she felt “pressured” to return to the cult show which propelled her to megastardom following the birth of her first child, a daughter named Piper, back in 1994.

After weeks of anticipation, Netflix’s brand new real-life drama Scoop is finally here! The big budget drama focuses on the gripping narrative surrounding Emily Maitlis' groundbreaking and now iconic Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew back in 2019.This broadcast sent shockwaves through the public, sparking widespread uproar over Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein and ultimately lead to his withdrawal from public life as a Duke. To coincide with the release, the show’s two leads, Gillian Anderson and Rufus Sewell took to social media to share a cheeky glimpse behind the scenes of production, including the application of prosthetics to transform them into the real life characters they were portraying.Taking to Instagram, the duo shared a carousel of images showing the transformation process, complete with plenty of silly faces to lighten the mood during the long process.
The Duke of York's notorious BBC Newsnight interview is being thrust back into the limelight due to a brand new Netflix dramatisation that premieres on Friday, 5 April.Titled Scoop, the film reveals how the BBC team landed the disastrous interview, which ultimately led to Prince Andrew's exile from Royal life. Actor Rufus Sewell steps into the shoes of the prince, with parts of the interview by Emily Maitlis, portrayed by Gillian Anderson , recreated for the show.The drama also portrays Andrew at his residence, Royal Lodge in Windsor, which he shares with his former wife Sarah Ferguson. However, he previously resided at Buckingham Palace in London, where several assertions have been made about the eccentric nature of his bedroom.
Scoop ( Friday, April 5), centers on Prince Andrew's first sit-down interview about his friendship with convicted sex offender, the late financier, (which later resulted in him stepping down from official royal duties), but the more profound story here is how it happened.That's where Anderson comes in. She plays BBC Newsnight anchor and journalist, Emily Maitlis, who conducted the infamous 2019 interview after months of tenacious work by her producer, Sam McAlister (played by Billie Piper), to secure the booking.“I remember hearing about the interview, but I hadn't seen it right [away],” Anderson tells me over Zoom from her New York hotel room.
When Prince Andrew submitted to being interviewed by Emily Maitlis for Newsnight, it made blockbuster viewing. Now Netflix’s Scoop brings the behind-the-scenes story to life and it’s even more compelling. Based on the book by former Newsnight editor Sam McAlister, Scoop looks at how Sam (played by Billie Piper) secured the royal chat for presenter Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson), who went on to quiz the prince on his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of sexual assault against him by Virginia Giuffre.
Guy Lodge Film Critic It’s no great slight to “Scoop” to say that it’s no more compelling than the real-life news broadcast on which it pivots. It’s also no less compelling than said broadcast, which was, after all, a doozy: the 2019 episode of “BBC Newsnight” in which anchor Emily Maitlis interviewed Prince Andrew about his friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
On Wednesday’s episode of the Today show, Gillian Anderson talked about Ryan Coogler‘s rumored reboot of the long-running sci-fi series.

Mounting it is a hard job. All the problems that I dealt with are going to be his problems.”
Zack Sharf Digital News Director “The X-Files” creator Chris Carter is not involved in the upcoming reboot, which is being shepherded by “Black Panther” filmmaker Ryan Coogler. In a new interview with Inverse, Carter said he has no reservations about letting someone else put their stamp on his beloved franchise. “It’s interesting, people say, ‘Aren’t you possessive of it?’ And I say, ‘No, I’m looking forward to seeing what somebody else does with it,’” Carter said, adding that he had a “really nice conversation” with Coogler when the latter first pitched his idea for an “X-Files” reboot to Fox.
