Saturday Night is now in theaters, and at least one person who was there has given his seal of approval.

After seeing the Jason Reitman-helmed film about the 90 minutes before the first Saturday Night Live broadcast in 1975, Og cast member Dan Aykroyd took to social media with a rave review on Friday, which also marked the 49th anniversary of the NBC sketch comedy show’s debut.

“Cracking a Head to applaud Jason Reitman’s triumphant SNL film,” he wrote on X. “Wow! What a propulsive, engaging, funny, beautifully cast and acted, suspenseful, adventurous, music-filled ride. A perfect window into the creative process at its highest level.”

Aykroyd added, “Pretty accurate too. I was there that night and got to relive it wonderfully again. Congratulations Gil [Kenan, co-writer], Jason and [producer Jason Blumenfeld]. Don’t miss it whether you know the show or not. It is a stand-alone masterpiece and surefire candidate for Best Picture.

Exclusive: Big news for Criminal Minds fans — one of the long-running series’ most popular stars, Matthew Gray Gubler, is returning to television as the lead of another CBS crime procedural, Einstein (working title).

Gubler is set to play the title role and produce the CBS Studios pilot, from the Monk team of creator/executive producer Andy Breckman and director/executive producer Randy Zisk. Like Monk, as well as the German series Einstein is based on, the CBS procedural is a drama with comedic undertones.

In it, brilliant but directionless, the great grandson of Albert Einstein (Gubler) spends his days as a comfortably tenured professor until his bad boy antics land him in trouble with the law and he is pressed into service helping a local police detective solve her most puzzling cases.

Gubler’s Lew Einstein is a popular professor at Princeton… when he actually shows up for class. Irreverent and misguided,...

Dylan O’Brien is keeping a pretty cool head after undertaking his latest role.

The Saturday Night actor said he “can’t wait” to meet Dan Aykroyd following his portrayal of the Saturday Night Live alum in the upcoming Jason Reitman-helmed film, which premieres nationwide on Oct. 11, the 49th anniversary of the NBC sketch comedy show’s first episode.

“I’m okay if my guy hates it. It’s acceptance. That was my method,” he joked to People about Aykroyd’s potential reaction to his performance.

“I hear we’re very similar, in a way that I never knew,” added O’Brien. “I feel like we’re going to get along.”

Saturday Night takes place on October 11, 1975, as a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers change television forever. Formerly titled SNL 1975, the film tells the true story of what happened behind the scenes that night in the 90 minutes...

If there’s one thing that now 17 seasons of watching the profilers of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (Bau) hunting down serial killers and the like has taught us, it’s that there’s no shortage of UnSubs out there. Criminal Minds, after running 15 seasons on CBS (2005-2020), returned with a new iteration, Evolution, in 2022 on Paramount+. In this revival, the Bau continues to do what they do best, but as the first two seasons have shown, there’s also one major UnSub they’re searching for. A third season of Evolution and 18th overall of Criminal Minds was picked up by Paramount+ on June 5, one day ahead of the second and 17th (depending on how you count) premiering. But what do we know about Season 18 of the Paramount+ drama? Read on for what we know about the cast, plot, and more, and keep checking back for updates. ...

Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 may be over, but we’re already looking forward to what happens next. Even though it’s still early, we do know the show will be back for season 3. Plus, the season 2 finale already set up a possible arc that will continue to involve Elias Voit (Zach Gilford).

In the season 2 finale, Voit had started his prison sentence, where he for some reason had requested to be put into the general population. In the final scene, he was attacked while doing laundry. Almost immediately, based on his previous behavior and how diabolical he could be, there were suspicions that he planned this himself. There is no doubt Voit is prepared to do whatever it takes to get out of prison as soon as possible.

Here's what we know about the upcoming season!

Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 is in production!

While we don't have a release date for the third season,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 17 finale “Save the Children.”] Criminal Minds: Evolution ends its 17th season with a question mark about a villain’s future, but thanks to a chat with showrunner Erica Messer, we do have some answers about that. In the finale, Prentiss (Paget Brewster) is abducted (again), but Gold Stars Jade (Liana Liberto) and Pete (Alex Saxon); the latter is Doug Bailey’s (Nicholas D’Agosto) brother, and he thinks the Bau killed him. But once they can prove it was Voit (Zach Gilford), he surrenders. In the end, the team celebrates at Garcia’s (Kirsten Vangsness). Meanwhile, in prison, Voit is attacked. Below, Messer breaks down that finale and teases what’s to come in Season 18. Voit wanted to be part of gen pop, and it seems like he could have set that whole thing up at the end to orchestrate something, ...

Acorn TV, AMC Networks’ acclaimed streaming service specializing in international mystery, dramas, and comedies, today announced the renewal of Harry Wild for a fourth season.

Star and executive producer Jane Seymour will reprise her role as Harry Wild, the titular amateur detective in the Irish mystery series.

The series was a breakout success for Acorn TV in its first season and has maintained its status as a top performer for the platform in its second and third seasons. Production has just begun in Dublin, Ireland.

“We’re thrilled to be kicking off production on a fourth season of Harry Wild with our fantastic cast and crew in Ireland,” said Catherine Mackin, Managing Director, Acorn Media Enterprises. “With this series, the delightful Jane Seymour has become a beloved member of the Acorn TV family, we can’t wait to see what Harry has up her sleeve this season and what mysteries...

“I thought it was just being done at the highest level,” Adam Rodriguez recalls of his first impression of Criminal Minds as he joined the show in its 12th season. He’s still part of the show, now Evolution, in its 17th season overall (and second on Paramount+); the drama will return for another. When Rodriguez recently stopped by TV Insider, we had him watch back his first scene, in which Luke Alvez tracks down a fugitive, then Rossi (Joe Mantegna) tries to recruit him for the Bau; Luke’s against it … at first. Watch the video above to see him watch that scene and share some behind-the-scenes tidbits about filming it. “I remember being really excited about this. I loved my intro when I read it in the script, and I was really excited to film it and bring this character to life,” Rodriguez shares. “I hate watching myself.

Exclusive: The BBC has tied with PBS on a Chris Packham-fronted series about evolution, as the corporation reveals it has doubled its number of blue-chip science shows.

Evolution will tell the story of the millions of generations that gave rise to animals today, tracking one animal per episode. Species in focus will range from the bat, whose ultrasonic hearing makes it one of the deadliest hunters on the planet, to the peacock and its magnificent feathers, to the kangaroo, which owes its impressive leaping not to its legs but to its teeth.

Packham, who also hosted last year’s Earth for the BBC, will take viewers back in time to chart evolution utilizing advances in genetic analysis and CGI.

“This is new, shiny and immediately accessible,” BBC Head of Science Tom Coveney told Deadline. “It’s full of animal-based facts but also because there are millions and millions of...

On June 6, the second season of Criminal Minds: Evolution was released on Paramount+. And although fans hoped until the very end that this time Dr. Spencer Reid, played by Matthew Gray Gubler, would return to the project, at least as a guest star, this did not happen.

At the same time, many viewers admit that the main storyline of the second season, the Gold Star case, would have been an excellent reason for Dr. Reid's return. This is perhaps the most complicated investigation in the history of Criminal Minds, confusing not only the viewers, but also the members of the Bau team themselves. And the help of a genius like Reid would have come in handy more than ever.

Showrunner Discussed Reid's Return

Evolution showrunner Erica Messer recently revealed the reason why Gubler was unable to join the project and whether it will be possible in the future:

“It...

The new act of Valorant is live, and with it comes the promise of a new agent coming soon. There has been a lot of speculation regarding the arrival of a new agent, with players reading into subtle hints planted in the reveal trailer of the new map Abyss and the announcement trailer of Act 9 episode 1.

In the Abyss reveal trailer, a monstrous hand was revealed, stuck in an hourglass-shaped vessel that woke up after some bullets penetrated the glass. Along with this, in the Episode 9 Act 1 trailer, vines are seen coming out of the ground over Jett’s blades and a phantom, which causes speculation about the sentinel-like abilities of the new agent, which seems to be drawing heavy inspiration from Hermit Purple from Jojo’s bizarre adventures.

Almost all episodes of Criminal Minds have always been united by a consistent structure, an unchanging plot skeleton. Several similar crimes attract the attention of profilers at FBI headquarters. They go to the scene immediately, while the criminal is ready to continue his villainy.

After familiarizing themselves with the situation, the profilers identify patterns in the actions of serial killers, determine the trigger that caused them to break down, and announce the profile that the suspect must fit.

The Gold Star Case Became Too Convoluted

Like many procedurals, Criminal Minds had through-line plots that could last for several episodes. But none of them were as mysterious and intricate as the Gold Star case. Is it a person? Is it a terrorist group? Does it even exist?

Obviously, Gold Star has become the main case of the second season of Evolution – and with so many episodes to go, the writers are...

Actor Mandy Patinkin, who starred in Criminal Minds, left the set after the second season, unable to cope with the script demands of one of the most popular but controversial crime shows right now. He then said:

“I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality. After that, I didn't think I would get to work in television again.”

Criminal Minds is, In Fact, Overly Brutal

Perhaps viewers who have been watching Criminal Minds since the first season are already used to it, but it is worth admitting that this project is a fair of cruelty and psychological trauma.

The crimes are incredibly horrible – over 15 seasons (and two more seasons of the spin-off called Evolution), the show has become a kind of catalog of what kind...

Actress/singer Sabrina Carpenter poses for the new Summer 2024 issue of “Rolling Stone” magazine, photographed by Thea Traff:

In 2016, Carpenter appeared in the TV movie, "Adventures in Babysitting".

Short n’ Sweet, the sixth studio album from Sabrina Carpenter, is still laying out in the sun in preparation for its late-summer release.

The two hit singles — both of which landed in the top three of the Billboard Hot 100 — are further proof of Carpenter’s expert...

David Duchovny may not be gracing television screens every week like he did in his “X-Files” heyday, but he’s still putting in the work. His second directorial feature film, “Reverse the Curse” — which he also adapted from his novel “Bucky F*cking Dent” — was released in select theaters this past Friday, and his podcast “Fail Better” received headlines for interviews with Bette Midler and Sarah Silverman when it debuted in May. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Duchovny expressed his desire to keep moving at this stage in his career and not get hung up on what people think of him or his work.

“I was once talking to an agent,” Duchovny said. “She’s no longer my agent — and not because of the story — but I was not getting the roles that I wanted. I felt stuck. She was like, ‘Well, do you want me to tell you the truth?...

Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2 debuts on Paramount+ on June 6th.

After spending 15 seasons airing weekly on CBS, Criminal Minds restructured its series by debuting Criminal Minds: Evolution. The ten-episode season debuted on Paramount+ with rave reviews, earning a second season. Executive Producer Erica Messer’s strategy to bring a more linear story to the series proved fruitful for the success of season one.

After a brief two-year hiatus, the new reincarnation of Criminal Minds with Evolution had me excited to see what they could do with the series being on a streamer vs. cable TV. I found myself attached to the series like I hadn’t in a long time, as season 1 had you on the edge of your seat with Elias Voit and the mystery of his character running rampant. Season 2 picks up right where they left off with two incredible episodes that see Zach Gilford continue to deliver a knockout performance as Voit.

Criminal Minds entertained fans for 15 long seasons, starting on CBS in 2005 and originally ending in February 2020 before finally returning to Paramount+ in 2022 with Criminal Minds: Evolution.

During that time, the show managed to become a full-fledged franchise, spawning several spin-offs, including a Korean remake. The series featured many intricate cases, but the main highlight of the project was the characters.

Matthew Gray Gubler Didn’t Return to Evolution Due to Schedule Conflict

One of the main fan favorites was Dr. Spencer Reid, played by Matthew Gray Gubler, a young genius with a photographic memory, encyclopedic knowledge and an inability to cope with everyday routine.

One of the few major complaints from fans who watched the first season of Evolution was the fact that Dr. Reid did not return to the small screen. However, Gray Gubler has repeatedly stated that he was happy to return to the project he spent so many years on,...

Criminal Minds: Evolution features a new villainous Unidentified Subject (unsub) named Gold Star, who fans want to know more about.

Revived for Paramount+ after the original Criminal Minds ran on CBS for 15 years, Evolution brings back the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit for new episodes to face scarier villains than ever before.

This includes a network of serial killers started by lingering villain Elias Voit, with one, in particular, being set up as a bigger threat in Season 2.

Read full article on The Direct.

On June 6, the first two episodes of the new season of one of the longest-running crime shows on television, Criminal Minds, will be released.

And although many of the stars of the Bau team have returned for the project's reboot, Evolution, some, for one reason or another, have yet to join them.

1. Dr. Spencer Reid played by Matthew Gray Gubler

Matthew Gray Gubler got the role of Dr. Spencer Reid after Lukas Haas turned it down. The role of Reid, a child prodigy with a photographic memory and phenomenal orientation in various fields of human knowledge, was perfect for Haas, but he was unwilling to balance his life and career with the strict schedule of TV filming and ended up playing only one of the antagonists of the first season.

The much less famous Gray Gubler fit the role like a glove – so much so that fans of the series...

Paramount+ is keeping Criminal Minds: Evolution on the case for another season.

The streamer has ordered a third season of the drama, a continuation of CBS’ long-running Criminal Minds that features much of the original show’s cast and is headed by longtime showrunner Erica Messer. The renewal comes a day before Evolution’s second season premiere.

The show’s second season (and 17th in the main Criminal Minds franchise) begins shortly after the events of the season one finale (though in the real world, it’s been 16 months since it last aired), with the Bau team investigating what (or who) the mysterious Gold Star is. “As the conspiracy unfolds,” the season two logline reads, “the Bau is met with an unexpected complication when serial killer Elias Voit (Zach Gilford) negotiates a deal that transfers him to federal custody in the Bau’s own backyard.

“Criminal Minds: Evolution” has been renewed for Season 3 at Paramount+. The third season will go into production later this year.

The news comes one day ahead of the Season 2 premiere of the series. Season 2 will debut with two episodes on June 6, with new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays thereafter.

The official description of the new season states that it “picks up as the FBI’s elite team of profilers investigates the deadly mystery of Gold Star. As the conspiracy unfolds, the Behavioral Analysis Unit (Bau) is met with an unexpected complication when serial killer Elias Voit (Zach Gilford) negotiates a deal that transfers him to federal custody in the Bau’s own backyard. The team faces its biggest threat yet and cannot emerge unscathed from the mind-bending consequences.”

The series stars original “Criminal Minds” cast members Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Ryan-James Hatanaka with Adam Rodriguez and Paget Brewster.

Wheels up! And keep ’em up!

Paramount+’s Criminal Minds revival has been renewed for another season, it was officially announced on Wednesday morning. The good news comes a day ahead of the crime drama’s double-episode Season 17 premiere (streaming Thursday, June 6).

Kornel Mundruczo (Pieces Of A Woman) has signed on to direct The Revolution According To Kamo, a biopic about the friendship between Simon Arshaki Ter-Petrosyan aka “Kamo” and his best childhood friend “Soso” who would go on to become Joseph Stalin.

Mundrcuczo’s frequent collaborator Kata Weber has adapted an original screenplay by Pawel Pawlikowski and Ben Hopkins.

Spanning 30 years between 1891 and Kamo’s death in 1922, the Georgian-language film is described as “a portrait of the birth of the world’s most murderous dictator through the eyes of his best friend, ally, devoted disciple, and henchman.” The two grew up together in the small town of Gori close to Tbilisi. Stalin was born into extreme poverty while Kamo’s family were wealthy merchants. Although Soso leaves Gori to attend a seminary, the two are reunited in their late teens in Tbilisi where the charismatic Soso has become an agitator and...

The Bau is back in action, but one familiar member of the team is still Mia. Matthew Gray Gubler, who played Dr. Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds for 15 seasons, won’t appear in season 2 of Criminal Minds: Evolution, which premieres June 6 on Paramount+.

Criminal Minds wrapped up its decade-plus run on CBS in early 2020. But in 2022, the show was rebooted for a 16th season, dubbed Criminal Minds: Evolution. The 10-episode, streaming-only season featured the team – including David Rossi (Joe Mantegna), Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), and Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) – working a complex case involving a serial killer named Elias Voit (Zach Gilford).

While Criminal Minds: Evolution brought back most of the show’s core cast, a few familiar faces were missing.

When Criminal Minds continued with Evolution two years after the original run ended after 15 seasons, it did so with nearly every actor from the series finale: Joe Mantegna (David Rossi), A.J. Cook (Jennifer “J.J.” Jareau), Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope Garcia), Aisha Tyler (Dr. Tara Lewis), Adam Rodriguez (Luke Alvez), and Paget Brewster (Emily Prentiss). Scheduling didn’t work for Matthew Gray Gubler and Daniel Henney to reprise their roles as Dr. Spencer Reid and Matt Simmons. But will that change in Season 17? There has been at least one sign pointing to a possible return from Gubler: a photo of Spencer Reid’s nameplate on a desk in a photo shared on Mantegna’s Instagram story (see below). So TV Insider turned to showrunner Erica Messer for answers. As it turns out, unfortunately, we will not be seeing Gubler this season. Joe Mantegna/Instagram “It never worked out for Season 16 and...

There is a subgenre that basks in the creaturely natures of girls and women. Forget the ethereal sisters of “The Virgin Suicides” for here are some hot messes. Found in the literature of Shirley Jackson, Angela Carter and Deborah Levy and in films by Josephine Decker and Luna Carmoon, this is a mode of characterisation that delights in stripping away the illusion of a “fairer sex” in order to marinate in the feminine grotesque.

Ariane Labed’s entry to this canon, her directorial feature debut “September Says,” is infused with her own history as a Greek New Wave actress. There are shades of her break-out role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ claustrophobic family drama “Dogtooth” and a callback to her animal impressions in Athina Rachel Tsangari’s sublime, underrated “Attenberg.” Otherwise, Labed follows the sketchy map laid out by Daisy Johnson’s source novel, “Sisters.”

CSI: Vegas and NCIS: Hawai‘i got canceled within one week of each other this season, marking disappointing results for two top TV franchises. Both CSI and NCIS ranked as the No. 1 scripted broadcast TV program in the United States at one point, and both of those shows spawned successful spinoffs… and at least one that was not so successful. Dick Wolf can relate. His long-running Law & Order franchise has had its share of flops, and even his successful One Chicago universe has had one of its shows flicker out. Criminal Minds, meanwhile, suffered losses with its first two offshoots. Read about all of these short-lived spinoffs below.

Criminal Minds fans have something to celebrate this week. Paramount+ has confirmed the wildly popular spinoff, Criminal Minds Evolution will be back with all new episodes before we know it. Prentiss, JJ, Garcia & Co will be back in action on the streaming giant this spring. Here’s everything we know so far, Criminal Minds spoilers ahead.

Criminal Minds Evolution debuted on the Paramount streaming giant in early 2022. The spinoff followed the original series, which ended on CBS in 2020.

Criminal Minds – New Episodes Coming Soon!

Fan faves Joe Mantegna, Aj Cook, Paget Brewster, and Kristen Vangsness all returned as members of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit.

According to Criminal Minds Evolution spoilers,...

We have big news for fans of the Criminal Minds franchise.

Paramount+ announced today that new episodes of its spinoff/reboot series Criminal Minds: Evolution are set to premiere on June 6.

The streamer has also released teaser art, first-look images, and a description of what we can expect from the series.

Evolution was renewed for a second season way back in January of 2023.

But like just about every other project of the past year, its production timeline was pushed back in response to the writer and actors' guild strikes.

"The 10-episode new season will premiere on Thursday, June 6, exclusively on Paramount+. The first two episodes will be available to stream at launch with subsequent new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays," reads a press release issued today.

"In the wake of last season’s shocking finale, the upcoming all-new season of Criminal Minds: Evolution picks up as the FBI’s elite...

In early 2024, the cast and crew of Criminal Minds: Evolution have finally begun the active phase of production, and filming has been quietly underway for months. So far, not much is known about the upcoming Season 2, except for the core cast members.

Nevertheless, Paramount never stops teasing us with new updates that, despite their lightheartedness, actually provide a lot of interesting details that fans actively start speculating about. For example, a new set video featuring the cast of Evolution was recently released, and despite its playful tone, the video was surprisingly insightful. It showed us the return of a rather controversial character who is sure to cause a lot of drama at Bau.

New Set Video

Recently, the official Criminal Minds TikTok account posted a hilarious video from the set of the new season of Evolution. In it, the cast follows the 'of course' trend of TikTok, joking about typical...

Amy Adams has been tapped to star in At the Sea, a new drama from Kornel Mundruczó and Kata Wéber — the director and writer of such acclaimed films as Pieces of a Woman and White God — as well as Hammerstone Studios, Ryder Picture Company and Ar Content.

Set to enter production in Boston in June, the film follows the life of Laura (Adams) after a long rehabilitation, as she returns to her family at their beach holiday home where she has to readjust to the complicated life she left behind. Now she is forced to face the following next chapter of her life without the career that gave her fame, fortune and, most importantly, identity.

Pic will be produced by Alexander Rodnyansky of Ar Content, Stuart Manashil, Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett for Ryder Picture Company, Hammerstone Studios’ Alex Lebovici and Jon Oakes, and Viktória Petrányi and Mundruczó. Exec producers are Paul J. Diaz, Maria Breese of 3:33 Creative, Lee Broda of Lb Entertainment, Jeff Rice of Jeff Rice Films, and Michael Kupisk. Zsofi Oblath and Rachel Rubin will co-produce.

Ar Content, Paul J. Diaz, and Hammerstone Studios will finance the film, with WME Independent to rep domestic rights, Capstone Pictures handling international, and Sacker Law to oversee production legal.

A six-time Academy Award nominee, Adams most recently wrapped production on 3000 Pictures’ Klara and the Sun, the next film from Oscar winner Taika Waititi, which adapts the dystopian sci-fi story from Kazuo Ishiguro. Up next, she’ll be seen starring in Searchlight Pictures’ Nightbitch from filmmaker Marielle Heller, a dark comedy she also produced through her production company Bond Group Entertainment that hits theaters December 6.

A married director-writer pair out of Hungary, Mundruczó and Wéber are perhaps best known for their 2020 pregnancy drama Pieces of a Woman, which premiered in Venice and brought star Vanessa Kirby her first Oscar nomination following its release on Netflix. Prior to that, the duo collaborated on White God, which won the Un Certain Regard Prize at Cannes in 2014; Jupiter’s Moon, which was nominated for the Palme d’Or; and Evolution, which also played the French festival. Separately, Mundruczó directed the pilot of the Apple TV+ limited series, The Crowded Room, starring Tom Holland and Amanda Seyfried.

Most recently, Hammerstone produced the action thriller Boy Kills World starring Bill Skarsgård, which will release wide on April 26, and the horror-thriller Don’t Move, starring Kelsey Asbille and Finn Wittrock, for Netflix.

Ryder Picture Company has produced acclaimed titles like Dumb Money and Bruiser.

Ar Content is known for Cannes prize winners like 2019’s Beanpole, from filmmaker Kantemir Balagov, and 2021’s Unclenching the Fists from Kira Kovalenko.

Adams is represented by WME, Linden Entertainment, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern. Mundruczó and Wéber are repped by United Agents and Novo.

Paramount has rebooted Criminal Minds, and starting in November 2022, we were once again immersed in the story of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (Bau) agents as they grappled with criminal minds and personal lives. Now, the story has taken an even darker turn, it has been released in a streaming format rather than the traditional TV broadcast one, and the show itself has been subtitled as Evolution. And before we knew it, a new season was already in production (the second season of Evolution and the seventeenth since Criminal Minds premiered on CBS in 2005).

While fans wait in anticipation, the upcoming Season 17 has already had its fair share of details and speculation. Josh Stewart, who has played Will Lamontagne Jr. since Season 2, will be leaving the show, while many are sure that everyone's favorite Spencer Reid will be back, as Matthew Gray Gubler's schedule has finally been cleared, and the...
