Callsheet 2025.4 is currently rolling out in the App Store. If you don’t have it yet, you can open the app in the Store and that should allow you to Update manually.

So what’s new?

TV Guest Appearance Dates

Users, understandably, have quibbles and feature requests about Callsheet. However, one complaint far-and-away stood out as the most common. It went something like this:

Why is it when I look at Sabrina Carpenter, her appearance on Saturday Night Live is listed… before she was born… back when the show started in 1975?

After a long time, in version 2025.2, I added a hack to help alleviate this problem: the Long-Running Series collapsible section on a person’s filmography. I was never happy with this, but at least it prevented pre-birth appearances.

To properly slot the appearance into the correct year “bucket” would require a zillion calls to The Movie Database’s servers, and thus make Callsheet itself feel quite a bit slower. That juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.

Now, thankfully, after much pleading, the fine folks at TMDB have finally delivered. Thanks to a change on the API side, the information I need is now available, and I can slot a person’s first appearance in a show into the correct year.

More Ages in Cast/Crew Lists

One of my favorite bug reports to get is when someone writes in to say something like:

Alec Baldwin is listed as 31 years old in The Hunt for Red October, but he’s quite a bit older now.

When I respond to say “that’s how old he was when the movie was released”, the inevitable “🤯” I get in return is always delightful.

However, it should be clearer, and now it is:

Highlights for Pinned People

As you’re browsing around Callsheet, it should be smart enough to call attention to people that you’ve previously pinned. Now, Callsheet will do exactly that:

Beginnings (?) of Letterboxd Integration

I’m making 0️⃣ promises, but on the long-term roadmap is to integrate with Letterboxd. As a stop-gap, I’ve added Letterboxd as an optional Quick Link. Thus, you can also make this your Quick Access Link, if you so choose:

Please note that this link will only show for movies, and not TV shows nor people.

Select Available Links

With the addition of Letterboxd as a Quick Link, the list of possible links is getting quite long. In the in-app Settings, you can now toggle links on or off. Note that the Quick Access Link cannot be toggled off, until you switch the Quick Access Link to a different link.

(There are a couple of minor visual glitches in the selection screen that will be fixed in the next version.)
