Martin Scorsese Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Martin Scorsese made headlines in the past 24 hours thanks to the official renewal of his docudrama series Martin Scorsese Presents The Saints for a second season on Fox Nation. Variety and CBR reported that Scorsese will host and executive produce eight new episodes, with the first batch set for release later this month and the remainder following in 2026 to coincide with the Holy season. At Monday’s premiere event in Midtown, Fox Nation turned the rollout into a high-profile happening, with Scorsese holding a Q&A that elevated the streamer’s cultural cachet, as Mediaite described, cementing his ongoing impact on pop storytelling.
In terms of public appearances, Scorsese was front and center several times in early November. On November 1, he attended the high-profile New York premiere of Die My Love at AMC Lincoln Square. Soon after, he was an honored guest at the Sag Harbor Cinema Festival of Preservation, introducing screenings and taking part in a Q&A that drew significant local media coverage.
Looking at his creative pipeline, earlier this fall, Deadline and The Film Stage confirmed that Scorsese is now attached to direct Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence in What Happens at Night, an adaptation of Peter Cameron’s novel, with Apple Original Films and Studiocanal backing the production. While there’s currently no set production date, the attachment of two A-list stars, and a script by Patrick Marber, signals another major dramatic outing for Scorsese, keeping the industry on watch.
His legacy work remains in focus too. Apple TV+ launched the multi-part documentary Mr. Scorsese, delving into his filmmaking, relationships, and influence—drawing acclaim for its rare candor and depth, as highlighted by WUNC and CBS News. Meanwhile, at the Tribeca Festival, Scorsese and Robert De Niro reunited for a Casino 30th anniversary screening and conversation, a major cinephile moment that generated significant buzz in film circles.
On the museum circuit, Scorsese recently hosted a Lucas Museum of Narrative Art panel at New York Comic Con. According to The Pop Insider, Scorsese reflected on his friendship with George Lucas and spoke passionately about the power of visual storytelling in narrative art, fortifying his stature beyond Hollywood.
On the business front, Fox News Media’s digital chief championed Scorsese’s return for The Saints as evidence of rising subscriber engagement and Hollywood’s growing affinity for prestige streaming content.
Social media in the past few days has highlighted Scorsese clips from The Saints premiere and Q&A, as well as festival photos, and discussions about his rumored projects, especially his fresh collaboration with DiCaprio and Lawrence. There’s also been revived interest in his decades-long creative friendship with the late Robbie Robertson, spurred by Robertson’s posthumous memoir Insomnia, which recounts wild tales from their cocaine-fuelled heyday as well as the deep collaborative bond that helped shape films like The Last Waltz and Killers of the Flower Moon, as covered in The Ringer.
