☀️ CBS’ Vanished Late-Night TV Audience

NETFLIX’s holiday season 🎥 dud, new Millie movie / ‘SNL’ scores with Druski / WB re-heats ‘You’ve Got Mail’

Mornin! Here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026.

Where it seems that AMAZON PV is the latest streamer to embrace some YOUTUBE!

PRIME VIDEO picked up U.S. streaming rights to The Promised Land mockumentary YOUTUBE series about, well, religious shows, naturally.

LIONSGATE previously made a deal to rep distro rights (all episodes from the 2024 season have crossed 1M views on YT). Season 2 is shot, but it has no official distribution plan yet.

Plus, who says AMAZON doesn’t have a sense of humor? The Promised Land Season 1 launches Sunday, alongside the new season of The Chosen.

PLUS: TUBI is introducing a feature that let’s you create your own playlist of TV shows and movies on the service, which you can also share publicly — à la SPOTIFY. It’s calling the feature Mixtape.

OH: It seems DISNEY+ is really going to be leaning into its creator phase in FY27. According to an internal deck cited by BI, ramping up to 500 new vertical clips per day on DIS+ and introducing creator content is a top priority — as is launching a free tier. See you for the DISNEY earnings call next week.

AND: F1 will indeed finish out its season in the Middle East, with races in Qatar (Nov. 27-29) and Abu Dhabi (Dec. 4-6) to make for a 23-race season, 1 race short of the original schedule (Bahrain was rescheduled in Malaysia, but Saudi Arabia was canceled earlier this year and not rescheduled elsewhere).

  • As for F1’s future — former CEO of parent company LIBERTY MEDIA Greg Maffei had this to say at a conference yesterday when asked about F1’s public company status within 2 years: “I’ll say F1 is gone,” and will go private . . . somehow.

CONGRATS: We did it, America — 2026 has had the highest number of measles cases in 35 years at nearly 5,200 cases and counting (although WTF happened in 1991?).

ALSO: The NY Fed noted that credit card balances that newly went 90 days or more past due were down to 6.87% vs. 7.05% a year earlier — but Q3 card balances rose $22B in Q3 to $1.29T, the highest amount of total credit card debt ever.

REST IN PEACE: Goes out to actor Stacy Keach, who died at the age of 85.

AND: My apologies to the Daniel Radcliffe show on PEACOCK — it is “also” on NBC (what can I say, I watch Reggie Dinkins on PEACOCK!). While we’re at it, enjoy Megan Thee Stallion as a guest star in this year’s season finale.

THANKS!: To those folks at PEACOCK for the invite to check out the premiere of The Good Daughter in NYC last night. I had no idea there was so much murder and f-bombs on PEACOCK (don’t tell NBC 🤫). A job nicely done on the first episode — intriguing setup and mystery ahead.
