Audiences all across the world eagerly tuned in week-after-week to see just how the brilliant Michael Scofield would help his beloved brother Lincoln Burrows escape death row in the fan-favorite hit Prison Break, a thrilling crime drama series that ran for five seasons and featured a stacked cast led by Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, and Sarah Wayne Callies. A ratings knockout for Fox during its sensational run from 2005 to 2009 (and for an additional revival season in 2017 and TV film), Prison Break captivated fans with its gripping action, jaw-dropping storylines, and many twists and turns.

In November 2023, news first broke that a reboot of the successful show was revealed to be in the works at Hulu and would be written and executive produced by Mayans M.C. co-creator Elgin James, with a pilot episode officially ordered in December 2024. Let's take a look at everything we know so far about the Prison Break reimagining,...

The season two trailer for Black Snow teases that dark secrets run deep. AMC+ unveiled the official trailer along with announcing the much-anticipated second season will premiere on April 24, 2025. The season will kick off with the release of the first two episodes, with new episodes streaming on Thursdays.

Travis Fimmel reprises his starring role as Detective Cormack. Jana McKinnon (Bad Behaviour) returns as Zoe Jacobs. Season two also stars Megan Smart (Class of ’07), Alana Mansour (Erotic Stories), Dan Spielman (The Newsreader), Victoria Haralabidou (The Tourist), and Kat Stewart (Offspring).

“In season two, Fimmel reprises his role as Detective Cormack as he tackles two separate missing persons cases. One is professional, as he investigates the disappearance of Zoe Jacobs (McKinnon), from her own 21st birthday party in 2003,” reads AMC+’s Black Snow synopsis. “And the other is personal, as Cormack searches desperately for his own younger brother, who went missing when they were children.

New casting information has just been revealed for the Prison Break offshoot that's in the works at Hulu. The project has a pilot that's currently being put into development, though the reboot hasn't yet been officially ordered to series.

Per Variety, the new Prison Break pilot has cast Emily Browning (American Gods), Lukas Gage (Dead Boy Detectives), and Drake Rodger (Landman) in major roles. While the show is set in the same universe as the original Prison Break, it was expected that it would follow a new cast of characters, and these additions mark the first names to be attached to the project. It's not yet clear if any original Prison Break actors will be making special appearances, but more casting information is likely to soon be released with actors starting to sign on for the pilot.

Full details have not been revealed about the plot of the Prison Break reboot,...

The “Prison Break” reboot pilot at Hulu has added three series regulars, Variety has learned.

Emily Browning, Lukas Gage, and Drake Rodger have all been cast in leading roles in the pilot, which was originally announced in December. As previously reported, the pilot is set in the same world as the original “Prison Break” but will tell a new story with new characters. Exact plot details are being kept locked up.

Browning stars as Cassidy Collins, described as “an ex-soldier turned corrections officer takes a job at one of the deadliest prisons in America.” Gage will play Jackson in the pilot, said to be “a politician from a well-to-do background in his first congressional campaign.” And Rodger will play Tommy, “an inmate at one of the deadliest prisons in America, incarcerated ten years ago.”

Browning has recently starred in shows like “Class of ’07” at FX, “The Affair” at Showtime,...

Hulu and 20th Television’s Prison Break pilot from Elgin James is coming together as Emily Browning, Lukas Gage and Drake Rodger have been set as series regulars.

As we previously reported, James’ version will be its own thing and set within the same universe as the original Fox series of the same name from Paul Scheuring. This new project is not expected to involve the characters at the center of the Og project, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell). The spinoff project was first revealed to be in development in late 2023 and was picked up to pilot in December.

While the plot of James’ version is under wraps, the trio’s character descriptions give a little insight.

Browning will portray “Cassidy Collins,” an ex-soldier turned corrections officer who takes a...

We can finally say and rejoice in the fact that Yellowjackets season 3 is here! If you watch the series on Paramount+, that means you've probably already started streaming it. However if Showtime is what you prefer, there's only one more day left for you to check out the first two episodes. And, they're oh so good!

And while we're so happy the new season is finally here, it isn't a binge drop. So that means there's going to be a week-long wait between new episodes. So during that time, or even if you choose to save this list later when the season is over, you might want something similar to watch. Well, we've got your back! Here's 4 survival shows like Yellowjackets to keep you entertained.

Season one premiered in December 2022. Sundance Now hasn’t announced a launch date for the six-episode second season.

“I think Australian film and television has never been stronger. Now, with the addition of streaming networks and their reach, I’m so proud that our local productions and their hard work can be recognised not only here, but around the world,” said Fimmel. “I’m excited to be a part of another season of Black Snow and showing off what Australians have to offer.

“Australian film and television have never been stronger. Now, with the addition of streaming networks and their reach, I’m so proud that our local productions and their hard work can be recognized not only here, but around the world,” said Fimmel in a prepared statement.

The first season of “Black Snow” was nominated as ‘most outstanding drama series’ at the 2023 Logie Awards and received two nominations at the 2024 Aacta Awards – for best drama series and best lead actor in a drama, for Fimmel. It sold to all major international territories including the U.S., where it screened on AMC Networks’ streamer Sundance Now. “Black Snow” also won the Screen Business Export Award at the recent Australian Screen Producer Awards.

Prime Video's Class of '07 offers a unique spin on the survival subgenre by juxtaposing a Waterworld-esque post-apocalyptic against the equally grueling feat of spending one's foundational years at a Catholic girls' school. But unlike other survival dramas such as Yellowjackets and The Last of Us, Class of '07 has flown under the radar. It's a shame, because the Prime Video series is as good as Showtime's critically acclaimed thriller.

Female-led interpretations of a Lord of the Flies narrative are having a pop culture moment, and Class of '07 both retreads aspects that have caused shows like Yellowjackets to resonate with viewers and carves out a distinct place of its own. Yellowjackets fanatics are sure to devour the series' similarly unhinged ensemble -- even though the '07 graduates have yet to commit an act of cannibalism.

Between Heartbreak High and Class of ’07, Australia has been churning out comedic TV shows with female-fronted casts that deal with serious issues for the past year. Amazon Prime's Deadloch takes its place among these predecessors with its exaggerated characters and a uniquely Australian tone. But more importantly, it delves into gender and racial politics, as well as the evolving attitudes towards them. Hosting a widely diverse cast and ridiculous character archetypes, the show’s witty but definitely raunchy lines and comical gems are what brings it to life. Although the plot can become shaky at times, with multiple redundant revelations and constant plot twists, it really does keep you guessing until the end.

In this peak TV era, there are simply too many shows on the air.

While there's more selection than ever, the caveat is that many shows are criminally underrated.

We've compiled a list of the shows we think deserve far more recognition.

Scroll down to get up to speed, TV Fanatics.

1. Class of '07 - Prime Video Not to be confused with the terrible Class of '09. This Prime Video comedy with a post-apocalyptic twist boasts an excellent cast, including Caitlin Stasey, Emily Browning, and Megan Smart. The world is ending thanks to an apocalyptic tidal wave and a group of women seek shelter at their high school campus. It's a lot of fun. 2. For All Mankind - Apple TV+ For All Mankind takes place in an alternate timeline in which Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov is the first human to land on the moon. The series follows the people who work...

This year has seen the release of several new comedic golds, including Beef, Mrs. Davis, and Apple TV+'s Shrinking, as well as a slew of returning shows, like Ted Lasso, Succession, and Barry. While most of these have been hugely successful as they captivated audiences from the start through the end with flawless comedic timing, a handful of them have kept viewers coming back for more. To add more to the year's collection, Prime Video is releasing an exciting comedy series, Deadloch.

Deadloch is an upcoming comedy series co-created by Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan that will star Kate Box and Madeleine Sami. The series, produced by Amazon Studios, Guesswork Television, and Ok Great Productions, will combine a riveting mystery storyline with the Kates' signature sense of humor. That said, here's everything you need to know about Deadloch, the forthcoming mystery comedy series on Prime Video.

Deadloch: The Plot...

Exclusive: Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars) and Brandon Larracuente (The Good Doctor) are set as the leads of On Call. Originally set up at Amazon Freevee, the half-hour drama, from Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, will stream on Amazon’s main platform, Prime Video. Amazon Studios has handed an official eight-episode order to the project, co-created by Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf, which marks Wolf Entertainment’s first streaming series and its 10th current scripted series overall.

On Call is an adrenalized half-hour series following Traci Harmon, a veteran female training officer (Belisario) and her rookie male ride-along, Alex Diaz (Larracuente), as they navigate the loss of a fellow officer and politics of modern day policing — in the department and on the streets of Long Beach.

Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Thursday, April 4, 2023.

Netflix is not moving forward with Freeridge Season 2.

The On My Block spinoff launched on the streaming service in February but failed to get much traction.

The original series aired from 2018-21 and racked up impressive viewership for the service, so it's surprising the latest entry failed to resonate.

Freeridge was "a coming-of-age comedy following sibling rivals Gloria and Ines and their friends Demi and Cameron who have unleashed a curse bringing dark misfortune into their lives."

Pete Davidson is staging a comeback to Saturday Night Live, but it will be a one-time-only deal.

The SNL alum is set to host the May 6, 2023, installment of the veteran sketch show.

Davidson joined the show in 2014 and departed in May 2022.

Amazon’s Prime Video platform will broadcast the Australian Swimming Championships, in Adelaide next month, as part of a two-year deal with Swimming Australia. The company will use a roster of celebrity commentators to give a high profile to its continuing foray into the sports sector.

The deal with Swimming Australia is the first partnership Amazon has had in Australia for sports, other than sports documentaries.

The streaming giant has a patchwork of sportscasting in other territories – in India, for example it currently has a mixture women’s basketball and some cricket, having previously carried major tennis tournaments and English soccer. It finds itself in competition with incumbent free-tv channels, pay-tv operators for which live sports is a lifeblood, and a growing number of specialist sports streamers.
