Judith Light

Amazon’s recent cancellation spree stopped short of Transparent, even as the involvement of accused sexual harasser Jeffrey Tambor complicated matters. At the very least, star Judith Light now assures that Season 5 will move forward, but is its title character no more?

It seemed unlikely of Transparent star Jeffrey Tambor to return for Season 5 in the wake of multiple harassment allegations, and the actor has now made the decision himself. Tambor confirms his exit from the Emmy-winning series, leaving its future unclear.

Wouldn’t you know it – there’s more to Maura Pfefferman’s journey after Season 4. Weeks ahead of its next premiere, Amazon has confirmed a fifth season for its award-winning Transparent, with further episodes due out in 2018.

The third season of Amazon’s Transparent heavily dipped its feet into spiritual waters, questioning the systems of belief that have long guided its characters. Kathryn Hahn’s Rabbi Raquel opened the season with a monologue about a crisis of faith that set the tone for the season, which ended with a fraught family vacation that found the Pfeffermans just starting to break from their cocoons. It makes all the more sense that the series fourth season will find the family exploring their Jewish heritage on the other side of t

The nominations are in for the 2017 Emmy Awards and there’s just as much to celebrate as there is to be disappointed about. The 2016-2017 TV season was a huge year for the small screen, reaching the peak-iest of peak TV. It was full of more new series than you could keep track of, diverse casts, and many groundbreaking episodes in both the comedy and drama departments. A brief scan of the major categories may leave you feeling a little bummed over the nominations, with many of the usual suspecting making the cut yet again – can the Emmys even exist without Modern Family or Julia Louis-Dreyfus nods at this point? And critical and fan favorites like The Leftovers, Girls, and Legion were nowhere to be seen in the top categories.

It’s that time of the year again when we begin to take stock of the best TV of the year and put our heads together to predict who will take home the gold come awards night. On Thursday, the TV Academy will announce their selections for the 2017 Emmy Awards. We already know the usual suspects will pop up, from shoo-in Julia Louis-Dreyfus to Modern Family and House of Cards, but what about the new series and the underdogs?

Jeffrey Tambor might have Arrested Development in his future, but Transparent’s Maura is only moving forward. See for yourself in the first trailer for Season 4, as the Pfeffermans get into edibles and venture to far-off locales.

Early on in the third season of ‘Transparent,’ Judith Light’s Shelly interrupts the family chatter at Maura’s (Jeffrey Tambor) birthday dinner to make an announcement. “I too have transitioned,” she says with the glee of a school girl giving the correct answer in class. “I’m coming out! I’m a brand!” she shouts with arms raises high after sharing her social media handles. The camera holds on the reactions of Maura, her girlfriend Vicky (Anjelica Houston), and her friends Davina (Alexandra Billings) and Shea (Trace Lysette) as they shoot glances of shock and shade in Shelly’s direction. Three of those four women understand the weight of coming out, but here Shelly exploits it for her own narcissistic pleasure. But what, exactly, is coming out? Who’s allowed to do it? And once you come out, then what?
