April 17, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

Netflix today released the new official trailer for Orange Is the New Black season 2, along with a video featuring the cast trying to use three words to describe the upcoming 13-episode season, premiering June 6 on Netflix. The ensemble cast of Orange Is the New Black includes Taylor Schilling, Jason Biggs, Laura Prepon, Kate Mugrew, Danielle Brooks, Uzo Aduba, Natasha Lyonne, Taryn Manning, Laverne Cox, Michael Harney, Samira Wiley, Yael Stone and more.

April 15, 2014 Barb Oates

Ugly Betty alum Eric Mabius stars in Hallmark Channel’s delightfully endearing new drama series Signed Sealed Delivered, which premieres Sunday, April 20 at 8pm ET/PT. The series follows a group of postal detectives who are dedicated to delivering undeliverable mail from the past, an act that often transforms the recipient and/or sender’s life. The series is written by Martha Williamson (creator of Touched by an Angel), who has a gift for writing appealing programming for a broad age range. “Anyone from 8 to 80 can sit around and watch because there are aspects from each of these characters that everyone […]

April 14, 2014 Kellie Freeze

MTV’s teen dramedy Awkward. premieres its newest season on Tuesday, April 15. Season 4 chronicles senior year for fictitious Palos Hills High School, so what challenges will the gang face this year? I chatted with Greer Grammer, who plays vapid but sweet Lissa, for the details on senior year. “We have college apps, college tours, class rankings come out, so it’s funny to see with all of Jenna’s misbehavior from last season where she is as far as school is concerned. There’s lots of fun stuff with Jenna and Tamara, and Jake and Tamara have their own thing, Jake kind […]

“Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” tying in stories with “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”

April 8, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

NOTE: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS ABOUT THE FILM CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER After being one of the many who saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier this past weekend (the film set a record for best April opening, grossing an estimated $96.2 million), I doubt if I was the only one who wondered how, if at all, the plot of that film would affect the TV series Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. After all, by the end of the film, SHIELD has been brought crashing down by Cap, Nick Fury, Black Widow, Falcon and others in light of the discovery that, […]

Devious Maids Season 2: Marc Cherry, Susan Lucci and Judy Reyes talk the tidy success of Lifetime’s sensational soap

April 1, 2014 Lori Acken

Devious Maids is cleaning up for Lifetime. The deliciously soapy nighttime drama, created by Desperate Housewives scribe Marc Cherry and co-executive produced by Eva Longoria, defied ABC’s rejection and early concerns about racial stereotyping to become the network’s fastest-growing scripted series ever, thanks in large part to a devoted tribe of fans who call themselves the Devious Army. “We understood that we were treading precarious waters doing a show about maids with all Latinas,” says Judy Reyes, who plays controlling mom and maid Zoila Diaz. “But we all knew that it was a moment to seize, because it was something […]

VOD Spotlight: Go Behind the Scenes on The Wolf of Wall Street set

March 25, 2014 Meredith Ennis

This VOD Spotlight takes a peak at the making of The Wolf of Wall Street.” Jordan Belfort was a wealthy stockbroker in the 90s who was eventually convicted of fraud and sent to prison. His memoir, The Wolf of Wall Street, was made into a movie directed by Martin Scorsese. Scorsese had one condition for directing the movie The Wolf of Wall Street: He insisted on being able to really display the full extent of the over-the-top life of indulgence and excess that he read about in Jordan Belfort’s book and in the screenplay written by Terrence Winter. “I had […]

The Walking Dead: Josh McDermitt on what’s ahead for Dr. Eugene Porter and Co.

March 22, 2014 Lori Acken

With just two episodes left in The Walking Dead Season 4, we’re all on the march to Terminus, right? Er, right? Even if not all of us are exactly aware that that’s what we’re doing? And if it’s a good idea or not. Plus, we’ve got some new folks along for the ride. Dr. Eugene Porter, Sgt. Abraham Ford and Rosita Espinosa — the long-awaited fan favorites from The Walking Dead graphic novels — have swerved off their mission to get the mullet-noggined, trigger-happy Eugene to Washington, D.C., and are tagging along with Glenn and Tara at his insistence. And […]

We sat down with Haddock and had a lovely chat about the new season. But […]

7 Questions With Laura Haddock of “Da Vinci’s Demons”

March 21, 2014 Barb Oates

Florence was in chaos when we concluded Season 1 of Da Vinci’s Demons, and Lucrezia Donati (Laura Haddock), the beautiful lover to Da Vinci (Tom Riley) and mistress to Lorenzo (Elliot Cowan), was outed as a spy. Season 2 of Da Vinci’s Demons (which returns to Starz Saturday, March 22 at 9pm ET/PT) digs deeper into Lucrezia’s true motives through flashbacks that take us back 10 years. “She was this young, hopeful, naive, excited girl ready to take on the world,” Haddock explains. “But then this thing happened … and it changed her forever. She’s avenging what happened to her […]
