As if the point hadn't been hammered into our skulls a dozen or so times by now (in some cases literally), death might come for anyone on AMC's 'The Walking Dead.' This past Sunday saw two major unexpected deaths hanging a dark cloud over the series, but one idea yet to be explored has been the resurrection of dead characters via flashback, or even dream sequences. Given the traumatizing events of "Killer Within," is there any chance we might see certain dead characters going forward?
Hold the phone! Where just yesterday we were begrudging the likes of NBC's 'Whitney,' which like 'Chicago Fire' and 'Guys With Kids' had earned additional script orders from NBC, it seems the fire has just taken another leap forward. NBC has announced that the modestly performing Dick Wolf firefighter drama 'Chicago Fire' is on its way to a full-season pickup! How many episodes will the series see, and what are NBC bosses saying?
Granted the two series aren't actually in competition, 'Community' fans grudge against 'Whitney' has just gotten even bigger. Where once both series were scheduled to debut on Friday, October 19, NBC opted to delay the launch and fit each in at a later date. 'Whitney' quickly got placement into the failing 'Animal Practice' slot, leaving 'Community' to rot until February, so how could things get any worse? When NBC orders even more scripts for the critically-maligned 'Whitney,' of course!
How very rare that when we get to describe the ending to a TV episode as explosive, we mean it literally! 'Boardwalk Empire' season 3 has quite a few pieces to pick up in the wake of this past Sunday's "The Pony," but Gyp Rosetti (Bobby Cannavale) seems to be the one calling the shots for now. Gyp has moved in on Tabor Heights once more and made a big power play to take Nucky out of the picture, but what do the latest clips reveal about his plan?
Many a fan of Laura Linney's work on Showtime's acclaimed drama 'The Big C' were saddened to learn that the series had been given a terminal diagnosis (heh), and would close up its four year-run with a truncated final outing. Thought a premiere date has yet to be secured, details of the final season for Cathy and the others have been set in motion, including a title change and some new guest stars. So, what will 'The Big C' become in its final season?
'Justified' will officially grace us with its fourth season sometime in early 2013, but for now FX has been been rather tight with releasing footage, apart from that initial teaser we saw with upcoming Cold War drama 'The Americans.' There are also still a few important castings to be made as the FX Raylan Givens gunslinger drama gears up for a fourth round, but who's the latest? What 'Sons of Anarchy' vet has booked an upcoming appearance?
Don't worry, Rosie Larsen's murder has still been solved. But where previously it had been all but certain AMC's controversial murder-mystery drama 'The Killing' wouldn't live to see a third season, a new agreement with Netflix could pave the way for Detectives Holder and Linden to return to the Seattle crime beat for another go. So, who would get first crack at the new season, AMC or Netflix?
But didn't they...hmm. It's of interest to note that while nowhere near the storied history of the famous Kennedy family itself, historical miniseries 'The Kennedys' went through quite a bit of controversy in its own right just to make it to air the first time around. Dumped by The History Channel and largely eschewed by every other network, the Greg Kinnear/Katie Holmes political dramatization eventually landed on ReelzChannel to mixed reviews, but is a sequel now in the works?
It's official! 'Burn Notice' fans needn't worry, as while a seventh season of the long-running USA series had never truly been in doubt, the cable network has officially inked a deal for an additional 13 episodes of the Jeffrey Donovan spy series. Although, with a reduced order and certain comments from the cast, could we be seeing the final run of Michael, Fiona and Sam Axe? Could season 7 of' Burn Noitice' prove to be its last?
Earlier in the summer we were excited to learn that 'Breaking Bad' star Aaron Paul was in talks to take the title role in HBO's upcoming drama 'The Missionary,' after the AMC drama's 2013 end of course. As of now, it appear that Paul wasn't able to commit to the HBO period drama's European shoot, and the pay-cable network has subbed in 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' star Benjamin Walker for the titular role. So what's 'The Missionary' all about?
