Earlier this year we heard the exciting news that (soon-to-be former) ‘Breaking Bad‘ star Aaron Paul was considered the frontrunner for the title role in HBO’s upcoming drama ‘The Missionary,’ shooting after the AMC drama’s 2013 end. That role was recently given to ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter‘ star Benjamin Walker after scheduling difficulties with Paul, but the show has netted yet another 'Breaking Bad' star, also one-time 'Friday Night Lights' star Jesse Plemons. Wait til you hear who he plays!
With 'Lincoln' set to sweep the awards, and every historical figure this side of Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci being reimagined as crime-fighting sexy action heroes, sooner or later these things were bound to meet in the middle. Next up for the untold story angle, courtesy of NBC and director Barry Levinson is...is America's first president himself, George Washington! But will 'George Washington' re-imagine the man for modern audiences, or stick to the real story?
Don't tell us you thought the final season of '30 Rock' would go by without a visit from the Beeper King, dummy. As '30 Rock' continues its farewell tour after seven seasons, the long-running NBC meta-series has targeted a number of past guests stars to come sing swan songs, but who could be more deserving of such an honor than Liz Lemon's one-time beau Dennis Duffy (Dean Winters)? Learn the details of the Beeper King's return inside!
As hard as we find it watching 'Homeland' after 'SNL' and Anne Hathaway's near-perfect skewering of the Emmy-winning Showtime series, the second season is definitlely spiraling into an incredible year. Not only did Carrie and the others successfully uncover Congressman Brody's treason, but better yet bring him into the fold to take down Abu Nazir! But after last week's tense resolution of "The Clearing," will Brody be able to keep his cool as a double agent? Check out the latest "I'll Fly Away" clips to find out!
Sadly, outside of the occasional Old Milwaukee commercial, occasional 'SNL' appearance, or maybe even the latest episode of 'Bitch Hunter,' we're unlikely to see Will Ferrell take any regular presence on the small screen again. That's okay though, considering the imminent arrival of 'Anchorman 2' with director Adam McKay, and an upcoming NBC series with both behind the camera! And hey, why not throw in a little Anne Heche for good measure? Who's ready for 'Bad Judge?'
These days, there really is no way to know how well an established property can be adapted into a movie or TV show. For every 'Haunted Mansion' with Eddie Murphy or 'Battleship,' we have 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Transformers.' So while Disney's roller coaster 'Big Thunder Mountain' might not seem like the obvious choice to get its own TV show, ABC has set its sights on bringing the famed Western attraction to the small screen with a dramatic hour-long series. Will they succeed, or go off the rails?
We've seen the same old story a hundred different times, whether it's a young woman torn between her love for two brooding vampires, or a vampire and a werewolf, or, in 'True Blood's' case, all three. But we've got to hand it to the writers of 'True Blood' season 6 for making the old dog do some new tricks. We've just learned that 'True Blood's sixth year has just cast English actor Robert Kazinsky as a new love interest for Sookie Stackhouse, with a surprising twist: he's a faerie!
Whoever said America's country music kick didn't have staying power? While we wait for ABC to shore up its big-ticket freshman dramas 'Last Resort' and '666 Park Avenue,' the network has gone ahead with upping country drama sensation 'Nashville' to a full-season order. Meanwhile, the network has offered an additional display of faith in Tim Allen's 'Last Man Standing,' and even rookie Reba McEntire sitcom 'Malibu Country,' but how long until a final decision is made?
Well, look who's breaking bad now! Debra Morgan dropped quite a bomb on her brother in the ultimate moments of Sunday's 'Dexter' episode "Chemistry," one that will likely change their entire relationship across the rest of the series. Meanwhile, Hannah McKay (Yvonne Strahovski) won't know what hit her, now that Deb's out for blood! So has the Miami Metro lieutenant completely joined the dark side, or will she relent in her quest for justice? Watch Deb go off the rails in the latest clips from next Sundays's all-new 'Dexter' episode "Argentina!"
As intriguing as it was to see acclaimed comedian Louis C.K. take on 'SNL' hosting duties for the first time a few weeks back, fans of the comic's FX series 'Louie' still lament the fact that the show's fourth season had been pushed all the way back to 2014. So, what better way to get our Louis C.K. TV fix than with an all-new HBO stand-up special in 2013? Will it prove just as award-winning as his last show?
