William Shatner is most known by people as the man who led Star Trek in its early years. From 1966 to 1994, Shatner played James T. Kirk and did so brilliantly. A tentpole character of the franchise that had fans flocking to it for decades. Now, in the twilight of his life, it looks like he's finally stepping back from leading man roles. At least on television.

Despite being 93, Shatner is still going. He's voicing the character Keldor for Masters of the Universe: Revolution and recently starred in the 2021 film Senior Moment. He's not just still acting but he's serving as a host for a variety of programming as well. Like with his newest series, The UnXplained: Mysteries of the Universe.

Yet, if you were to dig deep and be fair, Shatner has only starred in a handful of shows. Eight by our count. He may have been in more but these...

The event will take place in Chicago, Illinois, at the McCormick Place and United Center and will feature delegates from all 50 states converging to celebrate and amplify the message of the party’s platform and candidates in the 2024 general election. Who will speak at the 2024 Democratic National Convention? After the convention features the delegates formally voting for the party’s platform and presidential ticket, current President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, will deliver a speech on night one. The evening is themed “For the People,” hosted by Scandal‘s Potus Tony Goldwyn, and also features remarks from first lady Dr. Jill Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was the party’s first female nominee in 2016, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

The highlight of tonight’s Democratic National Convention will be a speech by President Joe Biden in what is expected to be an emotional moment following his decision to step aside.

First Lady Jill Biden also is expected to make remarks, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also is in the lineup.

Following Patrick Mulcahey’s departure as co-head writer earlier this year, a new head writing team has been established at “General Hospital.” The new team’s material will appear on screen starting with the Thursday, August 8 episode.

Elizabeth Korte, named co-head writer alongside Mulcahey in January, will continue as the show’s co-head writer. This time, however, she will work alongside co-head writer Chris Van Etten and associate head writer Cathy LePard as part of a new structure by ABC.

Fans will recall that Van Etten had been the show’s head writer from October 2017 until January of this year, when the show decided to make changes at the top with the sudden ouster of Van Etten and co-head writer Dan O’Connor. Their material aired through mid-March.

In May, it was revealed that Van Etten had returned to the show as a breakdown writer following a pitch he made over...

Well, The Rookie sure knows how to cram in the maximum amount of stress and pain in 45 minutes or less!

To say The Rookie Season 6 Episode 8 was an adrenaline-inducing, nail-biter, filled to the brim with revelations, badassery, and soul-crushing moments would be an understatement.

While we already knew Monica, the second most interesting redhead to grace this series, was shady as willow tree in July, learning that she's working alongside Blair was a shock.

But that's not to say most of us weren't suspicious of Blair initially.

The Rookie tips its hat as a procedural because it can be formulaic despite all the unpredictable and intense moments.

One thing consistent about this series is that when they introduce a new recurring side character, nine times out of 10, that person is a Baddie or at least adjacent to some nefarious things.

Blair has been high on everyone's suspect list since she...

Brooklyn Nine-Nine alumna Melissa Fumero, AnnaSophia Robb (The Act) and Ben Rappaport (For the People) are set as leads in Grosse Pointe Garden Society, NBC’s drama pilot from Jenna Bans, Bill Krebs and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

The drama follows four members of a suburban garden club — three of them played by Fumero, Robb and Rappaport — all from different walks of life, who get caught up in murder and mischief as they struggle to make their conventional lives bloom.

Fumero plays Birdie. Entitled, rich, swathed in Chanel, a smoker, a drinker, self-destructive at times, toxic at others, but not without real pain beneath her facade, Birdie is a successful author whose memoir, “Digging for Gold: Dancing Through Divorce,” is a bestseller.

A new episode of Chicago Fire introduced a new character.

Following the exit of Sylvie Brett (played by Kara Killmer), the show introduced a fresh face at Firehouse 51.

It was a bumpy ride for the new paramedic in charge while it was her first time being the boss.

Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) was promoted to a bigger role at the house but was also concerned that the new paramedic chief had it in for her.

Violet was faced with the new paramedic just showing up at the firehouse before even being contacted by their boss.

Before she could explain how she wanted things done or even give him a tour of the house, the alarms went off.

Chicago Fire’s new paramedic is played by Wesam Keesh

Wesam Keesh was seen as Adam “Malachi” Mintock on Law & Order: Organized Crime, Jay Simmons on For The People, and Kyle Cohen on Awkward.

The Chicago Fire cast has a new paramedic working with Violet Mikami.

Following Sylvie Brett’s exit from Firehouse 51, Violet has to be assigned a new partner on Ambulance 61.

Actress Kara Killmer played Brett for years but has now moved on to other things.

Kara teased what’s next for her in a new interview.

But the show must go on. And that means Violet has to have someone sitting next to her on medical calls.

The showrunner previously revealed that there are bumps ahead, and she also hinted that Violet could have several new people who try to fill Brett’s shoes.

Chicago Fire episode photos tease new paramedic

NBC released images for Chicago Fire Season 12, Episode 8. That is the episode that will debut on Wednesday, March 27.

Giancarlo Esposito is taking over the male lead in Netflix’s Shondaland drama The Residence following the passing of Andre Braugher.

Braugher, who died Dec. 11 following a battle with lung cancer, was tapped last February to be the male lead on Netflix’s Shonda Rhimes drama The Residence, starring opposite Uzo Aduba. The White House murder-mystery started production before shutting down amid Hollywood’s dual strikes. Braugher had already completed filming a lot of his scenes on the series, which was scheduled to resume filming last month January. Esposito’s casting means the scenes Braugher had filmed will be reshot on the drama from showrunner Paul William Davies (Scandal), which has continued production amid the recasting.

Here’s the official logline for The Residence, per Netflix: “132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous State Dinner. The Residence is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs...

Main cast for Netflix’s The Residence – Pictures: Getty Images

Serving as Shondaland’s third major Netflix Original title will be The Residence. Due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike, production was delayed on The Residence. Filming is now due to resume in January 2024. Here’s the latest on everything we know about the upcoming Netflix adaptation.

As mentioned, Netflix announced it acquired the Kate Anderson Brower book rights in July 2018. It announced it was moving forward with the series adaptation in March 2022.

Attorney-turned-screenwriter Paul William Davies will serve as writer and showrunner for the series. His credits include such projects as Scandal, Betrayal, and For the People. The Residence will be part of Davies’ new overall deal with Netflix, where Shondaland is also under an exclusive deal that was re-upped after initially being struck in 2018.

A very familiar frenemy will be Mia — and thus clear of of Raylan Givens’ crosshairs — when FX’s Justified: City Primeval limited series airs tonight through Aug. 29.

Inspired by the late Elmore Leonard’s crime novel City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit, the sequel series sends Raylan (played again by Timothy Olyphant) to Detroit, where he crosses paths with Clement Mansell (Boyd Holbrook), a sociopath also known as “The Oklahoma Wildman.”

We have seen a lot of legal dramas like Suits, All Rise, and even the short-lived For the People. While they are quite entertaining in their own right, they can be quite similar.

That's why The Lincoln Lawyer was a breath of fresh air when it premiered in 2022.

The series follows Mickey Haller, a brilliant LA lawyer who runs his practice in the back of his car because if he needs to move around the city a lot for his client, he'd rather take the time to go over cases instead of driving.

After launching, the series was a hit among the audience thanks to the popularity of the books it's based on, and the show was well done with a great storyline and characters.

It cracked the coveted Top 10 on Netflix for weeks after the premiere, amassing 260 million cumulative minutes, and remained Top 10 in 90 countries.

Written by Taormina, Eric Berger and Kevin Anton, the film watches as four generations of the Balsano family gather for what may be the last Christmas in the family home. As they lose themselves in rowdy celebration, cousins Emily and Michelle sneak away to a winter wonderland, where suburban teenagers find their rebellious paradise.

The project hails from Omnes Films and was produced in association with Crypto Castle Productions and Puente Films. Producers included Cera, Krista Minto, Taormina, David Croley Broyles and Duncan Sullivan. The executive producers are Jeremy Gardner,...

Many TV shows are brought back several years after their series finale, but one show poised to stand the test of time is Justified: City Primeval.

Fans were clamoring for more when Justified went off the air in 2015.

Justified Season 6 Episode 13 left us with the sense that Raylan's journey was not over, and now, we're getting new episodes on July 18.

FX on Wednesday went public with the official trailer, and it introduces us to a hardened Raylan, which makes sense when you consider the series picks up over a decade on from the original finale.

"Having left the hollers of Kentucky 15 years ago, Raylan Givens now lives in Miami, a walking anachronism balancing his life as a U.S. Marshal and part-time father of a 15-year-old girl," the logline shared by FX teases.

“I am [currently] preparing for the second and last season of Your Honor, which is a limited series that I did for Showtime,” Cranston shared on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast.

“As they tell me, it got higher ratings than any other series they’ve ever had — and so, one more season of that.”

Robertson joins Nash-Betts; Frankie Faison, who plays Christopher “Cutty” Clark; and Felix Solis, who guest-starred as Special Agent Matthew Garza in the two Rookie episodes, which served as backdoor pilots for The Rookie: Feds. All three are continuing on the new series as series regulars.

But after discovering that her boyfriend had been cheating on her with her best friend, Laura fell into a slump – how could a criminal profiler miss that the people closest to her were liars? Given a lifeline in Garza’s new unit, Laura’s ready to throw her socially awkward, workaholic, book-smart self-back into the job, hoping to get her mojo back.
