Christopher Vourlias Powerhouse producers Valeriy Fedorovich and Evgeniy Nikishov, the creative duo behind Netflix’s first Russian original series, “Anna K,” quietly left 1-2-3 Production in early March and are now focused on their Moscow-based shingle MC2.Though the announcement was formally made just days removed from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Fedorovich said the plan to leave the Gazprom-Media-backed production outfit had been set in motion long ago.“When we set up our own company, it was clear that we [would] have to say goodbye to 1-2-3 Production,” Fedorovich told Variety. “We used to work for others; now we want to work for ourselves.”As the co-heads of the Moscow-based outfit which they launched in 2018, Fedorovich and Nikishov were the creative force behind the plague thriller “To the Lake,” a series that made top 10 lists across the globe after it was acquired by Netflix, and wrapped production last year on the streamer’s first original Russian drama series, “Anna K,” a contemporary retelling of Leo Tolstoy’s classic novel “Anna Karenina.” They were also tapped to produce the Netflix original series “Nothing Special.” But the war in Ukraine, which entered its fourth month this week, has left many high-profile Russian film and TV projects in limbo, as global streaming platforms, international distributors and a range of industry partners have either suspended or pressed pause on their Russian operations.Fedorovich and Nikishov could not comment on the status of either of the two Netflix series currently in the pipeline.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill hit shelves in 1998, Lauryn Hill has been misunderstood.Prior to its release, Hill was the breakout star of the iconic hip-hop group Fugees, alongside Pras and Wyclef Jean.

Three-piece suites, drinks trolleys, and inspirational wall quotes no longer feature in the nation’s most stylish living rooms – and have been replaced by corner sofas, sustainable furniture, and smart tech.A survey of 2,000 adults has identified what Brits think are the top 20 sitting room trends of 2022 – which include real wood flooring, log burners, statement rugs, luxury candles, and potted plants.Brits have also voted the “snug” style living room to be old-fashioned, and would rather opt for an open-plan space.And while 44% of Brits feel their living room is on trend, many are keen to continue updating their space – with a new sofa, flooring, and a lick of paint among the most desired modifications they’d like to make.The study into the living room trends of the nation was commissioned by Sky Glass, the new streaming TV service from Sky, which has been designed to reflect people’s home entertainment needs.It also uncovered the nation’s living room priorities – including creating a relaxing space, and a place to curl up and watch a film.And the perfect TV set-up must be free from common frustrations, such as messy wiring, lack of plug sockets – and pet hair.Using the study findings, Sky has created a 3D render of what the average living room of Britain looks like today, which transforms into an inspirational space based on the latest trends and what people want most from their living space.Interior design guru Sophie Robinson said: “We’re spending a lot more time in our living rooms than ever before, and this study shows many people need their space to be multi-functional – somewhere they can work from, relax in, and also do their home workouts.“However, you don’t need to have a complete makeover to update your

Queen’s Jubilee celebrations in London on his podcast, shortly before he reportedly suffered a stroke this week.With the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee scheduled to take place at the start of June, Thomas announced in April that he planned to fly to the UK from his home in Mexico to join the celebrations.This posed the possibility that he might finally meet his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, who Harry and Meghan announced would be joining them on their visit.However, these plans appear to have been put on hold after the 77 year-old was reportedly rushed to hospital this week (May 24) after suffering a “major stroke”.It is unclear whether Meghan has contacted her father since he was taken ill.But, despite their allegedly strained relationship, Thomas appeared willing to reconcile with his daughter in an episode of his Remarkable Friendship podcast, released last week (May 21).“Yes, I’m going to the Jubilee, but the bottom line is that I decided to go the Jubilee because some people invited me to come to the Jubilee, and Meghan and Harry had cancelled; they weren’t going to go,” he told his co-presenter Karl Larsen.“Now they’re coming too, so God only knows what’s going to happen, I don’t think we’ll bump into each other, I don’t think we’ll go to the same places."However, although Thomas admitted that he didn’t have any plans to meet up with Meghan, he hinted that their paths may still cross while they were all in London.“I’m sure there will be times when there will be glances between myself, my daughter and my son-in-law.
