International Insider: Emmy Noms; ‘Doctor Who’ Dilemma; Tales From Taormina


Emmy nominations, 'Doctor Who', the Taormina Film Festival, Ireland's 'Faithless' and more feature in Deadline's International Insider this week.

Other shows with an overseas flavor that picked up noms include Disney+ docs Welcome to Wrexham and Beckham, BBC natural history hit Planet Earth III, Netflix’s Squid Game: The Challenge, Apple TV+ travelog The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy, Sky/Peacock drama The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas, which provided a little sprinkling of Emmy fave Ted Lasso now that comedy-drama is over. What Max found won’t necessarily thrill fans of the Russell T Davies regeneration, with the critical reception to the first season under new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa best summed up as a mixed bag, while ratings paint a complex picture but are not exactly going gangbusters. In a separate interview with Deadline, Peirone revealed she had brought elements of the Joan of Arc story and famous Italian tropes to Saint Clare, which follows a solitary woman (Thorne) in a small town who is haunted by voices that lead her to assassinate ill-intended people.
