In the past, we've heard about networks passing up some great dramas now and again, like when 'Breaking Bad' almost went to FX, before landing on AMC as the Emmy-winning bad-ass drama we all know it to be. But did you know that before AMC scored even bigger with Robert Kirkman's 'The Walking Dead,' HBO and NBC were in the market for the zombie-thriller as well? What made them pass on something that's become such a cultural phenomeon?
Never fear, Andy Samberg fans. The timing of the unfortunate 'That's My Boy' with Andy Samberg's 'SNL' exit does not mean that the "D*ck in a Box" funnyman has abandoned TV for movies. In fact, we've just learned that Samberg has signed onto an untitled FOX comedy from the creators of 'Parks and Recreation,' but who will the new sitcom see Samberg playing? And what does it mean for the fate of 'Parks and Recreation?'
Earlier today we heard from the producers of The CW's superhero hit 'Arrow' about the possibility of larger DC characters appearing on the the show, as well as the wealth of DC universe elements that subtly make their way into the series. And while we may not see Batman pop up in Starling City any time soon, the show certainly doesn't mind plucking from his rogues gallery! Guess what arrowed avengers is about to feel the heat of the Firefly!
Well, gee willickers, there's a surprise. We're just hours from the season 2 premiere of 'American Horror Story,' as the Emmy-winning horror serial heads back to the year 1964 for the brand-new tale of 'American Horror Story: Asylum.' And while viewers were dumbfounded to first learn that the second season would follow an all-new story with mostly-new cast members, somehow, we're not the slightest bit surprised to learn season 1 star Dylan McDermott will return after all. But, who will the former Dr. Harmon play this time around?
Like you, we adore the work of Ryan Hurst, everything from his bit turn in 'Saving Private Ryan' to his Emmy-worthy work on Kurt Sutter's FX biker drama 'Sons of Anarchy.' However, all good things must come to an end, and at least for the time being, it seems that we won't be seeng Hurst's character Harold "Opie" Winston return to 'Sons of Anarchy' anytime soon. Still, we'll gladly follow Hurst into the breach, so where will his next role in TNT's 'King & Maxwell' take him?
Considering we still mark years with four digits, more rumors of a 'Firefly' reunion have begun to spill out, though not as we've previously heard them. This past weekend, the cast reunited at New York Comic-Con 2012 for another 10-year reunion panel much as it had in San Diego, but this time a speck of new data escaped out into the 'verse: could the possibility of an actual reunion be in play as an animated series? According to one cast members, the idea has come farther than you might think...
Even hours later, we're still reeling from last night's season 3 premiere of 'The Walking Dead,' "Seed." We won't go into any tremendous spoilers just yet, but it's safe to say that Rick Grimes and the other survivors will still have plenty of problems on their plate, even after making a new home in the ominous prison facility. Next week's "Sick" will deal with the fallout of the events that ended last night's episode, so how would you like a first look? And what's on deck for the rest of the season?
Well, that certainly won't be a stretch. As NBC's Bryan Fuller-adapted 'Hannibal' continues casting toward its mid-season 2013 premiere, the core roster of characters around the good Dr. Lecter seems more and more intriguing. We've known for sometime that former 'The Matrix' and 'CSI' star Laurence Fishburne would take the role of FBI director Jack Crawford, but now we've learned he'll get to star opposite his own wife! Who will former 'Firefly' and current 'Suits' star Gina Torres play in the 'Hannibal' universe?
Now that the heat is officially on, and Gyp Rosetti has launched an attack on Nucky Thompson's alcohol enterprise, "You'd Be Surprised" how quickly things are going to spiral out of control for 'Boardwalk Empire's Atlantic City. This Sunday will see the fifth all-new episode of the season, as Nucky petitions Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg) to get involved with the ongoing feud, while simultaneously taking care of some business for his new-found lady love Billie Kent (Meg Steedle). But who's doing the dirty work, according to these new clips from "You'd Be Surprised?"
'Suits' fans, don't start dressing casually just yet. Following its wildly successful second season on USA, the Gabriel Macht/Patrick J. Adams legal drama 'Suits' has officially been renewed for a third season to air in the summer of 2013. Still, 'Suits' isn't the first USA drama to be renewed for an additional season, nor is it the last of the show's on the network's plate at the moment, so does that mean bad news for 'Necessary Roughness,' and the other legal/political dramas? Plus, how many episodes can 'Suits' fans expect?
