Just this morning we were wondering about how best to get Samuel L. Jackson onto Marvel's upcoming 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' TV series, where now it seems the prolific actor has his eye on another TV gig. As part of an ongoing Alzheimer's' charity drive, Jackson recorded himself doing one of Walter White's most famous 'Breaking Bad' monologues, and the results are at least 99% chemically pure.
A few weeks ago, we heard about a last-minute order for NBC's reality-skewing 'Siberia,' a mysterious new project set for a summer debut in which a reality competition goes horribly awry at the site of the infamous Tunguska Blast of 1908. Just as quickly, NBC has already released the first trailer for the new mystery effort, and it has more than a bit of 'LOST' in its DNA.
We've given FX's upcoming remake of border drama 'The Bridge' a bit of flack for its increasingly unrevealing teaser trailers. Approaching the July 10 release date, however, the latest look into the dark new drama, starring 'Inglorious Basterds'' Diane Kruger, still doesn't offer very much in the way of story or character, but who couldn't use a lesson in US/Mexico border statistics?
The first trailer for Marvel's Joss Whedon-directed 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' gave us a clue as to which 'Avengers' stars (beside Coulson) would make the first appearance in ABC's new series. But superheroes aren't the only Marvel characters we'd want to see. Were the man himself, Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, to show up in Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,' how would Jackson want it to be done?
With 'Dexter' season 8 set to be the last outing for Showtime's beloved serial killer, we wouldn't have been surprised if the final episodes took a more introspective focus, positioning Dexter himself as the focus of the season rather than a particular big bad. Since crime never stops in Miami however, we've learned what surgical new killer will plague Miami Metro this time around, and how the supporting characters will deal with the big change!
Given the success of 'The Walking Dead'-centric talk show 'Talking Dead,' we've seen the same idea applied to 'Breaking Bad' as well, and potentially to FX's sixth season of 'Sons of Anarchy,' but is 'American Horror Story: Coven' next in line for its own post-show analysis? FX CEO John Landgraf thinks it might be, but with one important difference.
Before 'The Walking Dead' season 3 came to a close (and we knew whether or not the Governor would return), executive producer Gale Ann Hurd previewed that the AMC horror-drama's fourth season would seek to amp up the threat of the 'Walking Dead' themselves, who had become manageable. With season 4 filming underway, what does series star Norman Reedus have to say about the new walkers threatening Daryl and the others?
Earlier this week, Showtime officially opted to let go of its papal period drama 'The Borgias,' but the premium cable network isn't through with the long-running Edie Falco starrer 'Nurse Jackie' just yet. The drug-addled nursing dramedy will return for a sixth season, while the Emmy-winning series currently builds toward its fifth season finale.
Amid a host of new developments announced at FX today, including company promotions and its first original animated series, 'Chozen,' to premiere on spinoff network FXX, the company announced that comedian Russell Brand's late-night talk show, 'Brand X with Russell Brand,' would no longer move forward. The cable network will keep in business with the comedian, however, developing an original scripted comedy to better highlight his talents.
As HBO prepares for the event of the year in next Sunday's 'Game of Thrones' finale, the premium cable network has mapped out the rest of its major tentpoles as well. The fourth season of 'Boardwalk Empire' will debut mid-September, while Danny McBride fan-favorite 'Eastbound & Down' will return for its final eight episodes a few weeks later. HBO also announce a premiere for Stephen Merchant's 'Hello Ladies,' but when can viewers get in on the action?
