Everyone’s in the Emmy race, but Netflix and the Television Academy feel John Mulaney is better suited for a different category than intended — and that may only benefit his awards run.
Netflix’s live smash “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A,.” featuring the Emmy-winning stand-up comedian celebrating the quirks and unique personality of his beloved city, was massively popular on the platform. The streaming giant had planned to submit the show into the scripted variety category, where it would compete against the long-running “Saturday Night Live” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” However, Variety has learned exclusively that Netflix and the creative team felt the show was better suited for the talk series category and, as a result, will now compete against late-night hosts such as Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon.

Painting with John will not be returning for a fourth season. The artist series, featuring John Lurie, has been cancelled following the third season, which aired earlier this summer.
The comedy docuseries series follows the musician, painter, and actor as he paints in watercolors and reflects on music, art, and life. There were 18 episodes created over the three-season run. The title of the show alludes to Lurie's earlier series, Fishing with John. That ran for six episodes on IFC and Bravo in late 1991.

John Lurie is putting away his watercolors.
The actor, musician and painter revealed that his show Painting with John will end with its third season on HBO.
The series, which is part meditative tutorial and part fireside chat, sees Lurie shares his philosophical thoughts while honing his watercolor techniques.
Lurie revealed the news on social media, saying that he is “sad about it, but it is a miracle that it ever happened at all”.
The series launched in January 2021, the second season premiered in February 2022 and the third season launched in June 2023.
Lurie, who co-founded the jazz ensemble Lounge Lizards, has starred in films including Stranger Than Paradise and Down By Law and was behind the Grammy nominated soundtrack for Get Shorty. He is also well known for Fishing with John, a cult series that aired on IFC and Bravo in the early 90s.

Following the series finales of fan favorites such as “Barry,” “Succession,” and “Ted Lasso,” along with the season finale of “Yellowjackets,” about half of the requisite, must-watch television ended in one week. June’s lineup looks to fill in the gaps left by those series, from polarizing new dramas taking that Sunday night HBO slot to prestige series filling up the streaming service lineup.

Max’s first full month without ‘HBO’ in its rebranded title has a selection that kicks off summer 2023 in fine fashion. Three of the four iterations of “A Star Is Born,” including the most recent remake starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, are streaming on Max in June. The 1954 and 1976 films land June 1, while the 2018 version arrives June 8.
To prepare for Margot Robbie’s performance in “Barbie” come July, one could watch one of her more intense roles as Tonya Harding in “I, Tonya” (2017). For some lighter summer watches, viewers might consider “Dolphin Tale” (2010), “Grease” (1978), “Hairspray” (2007) or “Tooth Fairy” (2010).
“Magic Mike’s Last Dance” (2023) starring Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek Pinault lands at Max after its theatrical release in February this year. Another major theatrical release from 2022, “Avatar: The Way of Water” (2022), swims onto the streamer starting June 7.

HBO Max is no more. In its place are…HBO and Max. Warner Bros. Discovery’s big change to its premier streaming service was simply to take the “HBO” off of the name “HBO Max,” leaving just “Max.” But in announcing its list of new releases for Max in June 2023, Warner is highlighting all of the HBO content anyway. So here is everything you can expect to find on Max (including every new HBO show) this month.
Even though June 2023 is the first full month of Max’s existence without the helpful “HBO” modifier in front of it, literally all of its major original offerings are thanks to the pay cable network. June 4 sees the premiere of The Idol, the controversial TV project starring The Weeknd and written by Euphoria‘s Sam Levinson. After that, season 3 of Danny McBride evangelical comedy The Righteous Gemstones premieres on June 18. That will be...

Just because the week is shorter, doesn’t mean that there’s any less stellar programming on the horizon, with new seasons of “I Think You Should Leave,” “Dark Side of the Ring,” “Nancy Drew” and “Painting with John,” plus the series finales of “Barry” and “Succession.” And that’s to say nothing of a ripped-from-the-headlines HBO movie (starring Sydney Sweeney no less), a documentary about the American Gladiators and a LeBron James biopic. A jam-packed week, even with one fewer day!

Here’s the rewind and context if you’re unsure who John Lurie is (And you’ll only be mildly forgiven if you don’t). A cult musician, actor, director and in recent years, painter, Lurie started his career in the New York scene in the 1970s and ‘80s with the provocative punk/jazz/afrobeat band the Lounge Lizards. Lurie just seemed to be a magnet for stardom while seemingly missing most of it himself. He was a best friend and mentor to a young Jean Michel Basquiat, who saw the rise of New York artists first hand like Madonna, Julian Schnabel, knew Andy Warhol, etc.

Last Year’s Winner: “Saturday Night Live”
Still Eligible: Yes.
Hot Streak: “Saturday Night Live” has a five year winning streak right now, benefitting from the split that happened in the Variety Series category in 2015 (it became the Variety Talk and Variety Sketch categories). However, when that split first happened, it was Comedy Central that had the initial winning streak with “Inside Amy Schumer” winning in 2015, and “Key & Peele” winning in 2016, so NBC’s long-running late night variety series is not unbeatable.
Notable Ineligible Series: “Documentary Now!” (Season 4 was not eligible); “I Think You Should Leave” (submitted as a Short Form Comedy Series); “The Kids in the Hall” (was not submitted)
This article will be updated throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2022 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting will take place from June...

In 1984 John Lurie had three films at Cannes but couldn’t afford a plane ticket. For a few indelible moments in Wim Wender’s Paris, Texas, as a high-end pimp he moves through the shadows of a brothel in a purple suit. He composed a nocturnal jazz score for Bette Gordon’s Variety. And in Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise the world first got a load of his austere, trickster visage. For that film he also created a soundtrack first conceived on cocktail napkins and originally recorded with two handheld tape recorders. Stranger Than Paradise would take home the Caméra d’Or; Paris, Texas won the Palme d’Or. In Lurie’s memoir The History of Bones, published last August, he claims Jarmusch was supposed to take him to Cannes but took his girlfriend instead. This anecdote feels perfectly illustrative of Lurie’s career. Pervasively influential, a creative force of various fields,...

“Welcome to ‘Painting with John’ Season Two, the show where I do not teach you how to paint,” John Lurie deadpans in the trailer for his hit HBO series, returning February 18. Watch the full trailer for Season 2, exclusive to IndieWire, below.
Lurie — who writes, directs, and stars in “Painting with John” from somewhere in the Caribbean — may seem to be joking, but the multi-hyphenate talent is being serious. Dead serious.
“When season one of the show came out, I got so many people saying, ‘Oh you live in paradise. You’re so lucky.’ And I’m thinking, ‘It is paradise,'” Lurie says in a close-up. “But we didn’t show you the bad stuff.”
The horrors of Lurie’s day-to-day life? Well, let’s start with his eerie washing machine, before discussing the downside of spring. “During the rainy season, there’s these little gnat things,” Lurie explains. “They...

Where to Watch “Painting with John”: HBO Max
I don’t envy the person who has to write the episode descriptions for “Painting with John.” It is true that “John recounts how the obsession he and his brother had for John Coltrane’s ‘Live at Birdland’ resulted in an unfortunate Sunday breakfast” is an accurate statement about the contents of the third episode. But a few words summarizing a couple distinct anecdotes from the life of John Lurie is a drop in the lake of things that give this show its value.
Whether you know Lurie as an actor or a musician or a painter, “Painting with John” almost works best if you’re unaware of his other work or can pretend he’s some mystical forest-bound sage dispensing ideas about the nature of creativity to anyone who’ll listen.
There’s no set format for the show.

On an economic storytelling level, HBO’s terrific and delightful new documentary series, “Painting With John,” begins with a brilliantly simple and effective little riff. Starring renaissance man John Lurie—a renowned actor known for his work in classic Jim Jarmusch films, a musician, filmmaker, author, poet, and now, mostly a painter— who stars, writes, directs, and produces the entire endeavor, “Painting With John” immediately deconstructs the myth of Bob Ross, the famously soothing and gentle 1970s/‘80s television watercolorist who brought the joy of DIY painting to the masses and into homes across the nation, and of which Lurie’s show most resembles on the surface.

Among other things, John Lurie is a reality-television pioneer.
A musician who founded jazz group the Lounge Lizards and who moonlighted as an actor in films such as Jim Jarmusch’s “Down By Law,” Lurie’s a polymath. His first television series, “Fishing With John,” premiered on Bravo in 1991 and riffed on the fishing shows found across the local-television landscape in the late 20th century — TV that made fun of itself when that was still weird. The show was born out of Lurie filming a fishing trip he took with Tom Waits in New Zealand. Its hallmark was over-the-top narration contrasted with mundane footage of white guys fishing. In one episode, the narrator insisted that Lurie was feuding with Dennis Hopper in Thailand. In another, he claimed that Lurie and Willem Dafoe died in Maine. (They did not.)
Lurie’s new show, “Painting With John,” is more earnest, but no less weird.

Travel shows are an inherently outward-facing genre, and if you’re like me, you spent a lot of the early days of quarantine looking to things like House Hunters International or any of a half-dozen food-centric Netflix shows for an escape from the couch.
Recent months, though, have seen a rise in shows that use travel tropes to explore something more insular. Shows like HBO’s How To With John Wilson or Netflix’s Pretend It’s a City are New York City travelogues of sorts, but they’re more inward-looking character studies of two people and their longtime home. The Anthony Bourdain ...

Midway through the first episode of his new show, Painting With John, John Lurie stands on the porch of his home in the Caribbean, gazing at a serene purplish-pink sunset. “I felt I should I use this beautiful moment to say something poetic, but I don’t have anything. So just imagine I’m saying something poetic,” he says, addressing the viewer. Then, after a beat, “Why put it all on me? There’s a sunset. You think of something poetic.”
