According to Variety, WarnerMedia will lay off at least 800 staffers as the company restructures its operations for the streaming era. The report indicates that 650 layoffs could be coming on Monday alone from the Warner Bros. studio, with additional cuts to HBO coming later in the week.

More:

• WarnerMedia declined to comment on the report.
• The restructuring will be led by WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar, who announced a reworking of the company on Friday.
• Two top executives -- WarnerMedia Entertainment and Direct-to-Consumer Chairman Bob Greenblatt, and HBO Max President and Chief Content Officer Kevin Reilly -- will depart the company.
• WB chief Ann Sarnoff will now lead development for HBO Max as well as the cable networks TNT, TBS, and truTV.

Peacock made a number of programming announcements during a virtual press tour, including a first season for the Will Forte action-comedy series "MacGruber." The series was inspired by a "Saturday Night Live" sketch parodying "MacGyver," which was spun off into a film in 2010.

More:

• Forte will star in, executive produce and write the series, which will likely also feature appearances from the film's co-stars, Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillippe.
• Peacock also ordered a new late-night topical comedy series from "Black-ish" producer and former "Daily Show" correspondent Larry Wilmore.
• The platform also announced that the comedy series "Girls5eva," from producers Tina Fey and Robert Carlock ("30 Rock"), will star singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles.

DAILY CALENDAR

MONDAY, AUGUST 10

Zoë Kravitz mocked Hulu's lack of diversity in a public comment on Instagram. Hulu recently canceled the series adaptation of "High Fidelity," starring Kravitz, after a single season.

More:

• Kravitz had posted behind-the-scenes photos with other "High Fidelity" cast members with the caption: "I wanna give a shout out to my #highfidelity family. Thank you for all the love and heart you put into this show."
• After actor Tessa Thompson responded, Kravitz replied to her: "At least Hulu has a ton of other shows starring women of color we can watch. Oh wait."
• Kravitz previously spoke about the importance of representation earlier this year on Variety and iHeartRadio's "The Big Ticket" podcast.
• The 2000 film adaptation of "High Fidelity" co-starred Kravitz's mother, Lisa Bonet.

The new HBO Max comedy-drama "An American Pickle," from writer Simon Rich (who based the script on his own short story, which initially ran in The New Yorker) is a masterclass in tone and balance. The film not only has an utterly ridiculous premise, but almost seems to exist in a surreal alternate reality, where human emotions and behavior remain unchanged, but the world runs on fanciful, cartoon logic.

Based purely on a plot synopsis, the film sounds like it really ought to star Adam Sandler, as opposed to Seth Rogen. Herschel Greenbaum, a 1920s Jewish immigrant to the U.S. (from the fictional Eastern European country of Shlupsk) falls into a vat of pickles, where he remains perfectly preserved in brine for 100 years. He awakens in modern-day Brooklyn and -- with little fanfare -- goes to live with his present-day descendant, Ben, a sad, shy app developer. (Both roles are played by Rogen.) The zaniness doesn't end there: the film also involves a ramshackle homemade pickle operation, a fraudulent internship program, numerous social media scandals, a mistaken identity farce, attacks by Cossacks, even a parody of courtroom dramas...

Judd Apatow will co-direct and produce a two-part documentary about comedian George Carlin for HBO. Apatow will be joined by his frequent collaborator, Michael Bonfiglio, with whom he produced HBO's "Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling" in 2018.

More:

• The film will feature interviews with those who knew Carlin, along with TV appearances, stand-up specials, and material from his personal archives.
• Carlin died at age 71 in 2008.
• Apatow discussed the project with the Boston Globe in June, calling much of Carlin's work "very prophetic."

Disney will rebrand three of its TV studios in the wake of its acquisition of Fox assets in 2018. Disney will drop the "Fox" name from all of its television-related brands; the Fox name has already been removed from the company's film units.

More:

• ABC Studios will merge with its cable/streaming subsidiary to become a single unit, called ABC Signature.
• Fox 21 Television Studios will be renamed Touchstone Television.
• 20th Century Fox Television will become, simply, 20th Century Television.

The fourth season of "Fargo" will debut on FX on September 27. New episodes will air on FX on Sunday nights, then come to Hulu on Monday.

More:

• Season 4 was originally scheduled to debut in April but was pushed back by the pandemic.
• The new season is set in 1950 Kansas City, and concerns a looming war between Italian-American and Black crime families.
• Chris Rock stars alongside Uzo Aduba, Jack Huston, Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, Jessie Buckley, and others.
• The series -- which relates a new offbeat crime story each season -- was inspired by the 1996 feature film from the Coen Brothers.
