A real-life expert reveals how cop shows exaggerate crime scene investigations for entertainment purposes. An extremely popular television genre, cop shows have been an entertainment mainstay for years now. Some of the best cop shows of all-time include The Wire, NYPD Blue, Justified, True Detective, The Shield, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the CSI franchise.

Fans can't get enough of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's cast and The Rookie gets mixed reviews, but it remains a ratings hit. Part of the reason why cop shows like those are so popular is how entertaining investigations are on television. However, an expert has revealed that one aspect of cop shows is often exaggerated for entertainment purposes.

[This story contains spoilers from Terminal List season one, and the premiere of Terminal List: Dark Wolf.]

Temperatures can get sweltering in Mosul, Iraq. But in the Middle Eastern city during 2015, it was the uncomfortable sting of violence and death that touched a nerve, changing the trajectory for a group who swore an oath to the country they represent.

This is where Prime Video’s Terminal List: Dark Wolf prequel series opens, revealing unspeakable horrors that might even shake a career Navy Seal officer to his core, such as Chief Ben Edwards played by Taylor Kitsch. The first three episodes of Dark Wolf that are now streaming wasted no time in showing how the madness of war can knock some soldiers off their path. Dark Wolf provides the origin story of what pushed Edwards and his loyal friend, Lt. Raife Hastings (Tom Hopper), into an even more chaotic world of pain and violence, but seemingly without any clear rules of engagement. Dark Wolf begins five years prior...

Nicolas Cage stars as a dad going through holy hell in the first teaser trailer for The Carpenter’s Son, a new horror film directed by Lofty Nathan and co-starring FKA twigs as Mother Mary.

Based on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas — which is not official canon, in the original sense of that word — The Carpenter’s Son will focus on Jesus’ adolescence, as portrayed by Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place). In this apocryphal gospel, Jesus is a pretty normal boy with sweet moods and temper tantrums — although unlike most kids his age, the tantrums arrive with supernatural vengeance. For a few years there, Jesus goes around smiting other children and...

Exclusive: Anonymous Content is commencing layoffs today, per sources. The estimated reduction of staff is less than 15% of the company’s employees.

The Nicolas Cage resurgence as of late has interestingly mostly found him in more abstract kinds of films as opposed to his more commercially appealing blockbusters of yesteryear. While many have pined for a National Treasure 3, Cage has been partaking in indie films like Pig, Mandy and Dream Scenario. However, he would also mix in a couple of mass audience projects like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and Renfield. It was reported last year that Cage was set to star in The Carpenter’s Son, a horror tale that’s based on the rarely-told childhood of Jesus Christ.

Magnolia Pictures has now released a very ominous teaser trailer of The Carpenter’s Son,...

Spain’s Secuoya Studios is continuing its international expansion through a new first-look deal with the Icelandic production company Act4 which is spearheaded by a group of high-profile creatives, including “True Detective” actor Ólafur Darri Ólafsson and “As Long As We Live” producer Hörður Rúnarsson.

This pact, which marks the beginning of the relation between the Spanish and Icelandic TV banners, is part of of Secuoya Studios’ strategy to dedicate 30% of its catalogue to content in languages other than Spanish by 2027. The Madrid-based film and TV studio behind “Shades” and “Arcadia” recently struck similar partnerships with BlackBox Multimedia in the U.K. and with Sydney Gallonde, the indie French producer of Harlan Coben’s hit series “No Second Chance” and “Just One Look.”

There's no doubt that True Detective and Yellowstone are two of the most popular television shows in recent memory. Remember way back when the True Detective season 1 finale broke HBO Go? The show was that serious for all of us fans, and it's still a fan-favorite. The same can be said about the game-changing Yellowstone, which has launched an entired universe of shows.

If you're a fan of both shows as most people probably are, Netflix is about to give you the gift of a lifetime. No, True Detective and Yellowstone aren't being added to Netflix (though we can certainly dream). But the streaming service has officially won the bidding...

“I need a fucking rom-com tomorrow,” Taylor Kitsch tells Empire. The actor is not one to shy away from roles that push him to the edge. The Friday Night Lights alumnus has built a career on playing men who more often than not have been through the wars, whether it’s an ill-fated Navy Seal in Peter Berg’s tense war movie Lone Survivor, a veteran-turned-cop in True Detective Season 2 or another tormented Seal, Ben, in Prime Video’s conspiracy-thriller series The Terminal List.

Kitsch now returns to his character for The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, a prequel spin-off that sees him take over the lead role from co-star Chris Pratt.

Netflix has acquired the rights to Nic Pizzolatto’s new series and the project will reunite Pizzolatto with Matthew McConaughey.

The first season of True Detective remains potentially its best. Although season 4, subtitled Night Country, gives it a run for its money, that first season, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, was a brutal, enticing run of TV.

After departing the series as a showrunner after season 3 – although still remaining involved as an executive producer – Pizzolatto is now planning a new, hopefully just...

In a competitive situation, Netflix has landed an untitled drama project starring and executive produced by Matthew McConaughey and Cole Hauser that comes from True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto and Skydance Sports, now part of Paramount, Deadline has confirmed.

Details are sketchy but the project is believed to be set in the world of football and it originated as a show about two brothers, played by McConaughey and Hauser, I hear.

The two actors have been friends for two decades (they starred together in the 1993 Dazed and Confused), and have been kicking around the idea over that time.

Netflix has won out in a bidding war for a new series starring Matthew McConaughey and Cole Hauser that hails from creator Nic Pizzolatto.

Variety has confirmed that the project is currently in development at Netflix, though final deals for the two leads are still being ironed out. Plot details are scarce, aside from the fact that McConaughey and Hauser would play brothers. Skydance Sports will produce.

Netflix declined to comment.

The series marks another reunion for McConaughey and Pizzolatto, following their highly successful collaboration on the first season of “True Detective” at HBO. The pair were also meant to re-team on the FX project “Redeemer,” though that series ultimately did not move forward. Most recently, it was reported that McConaughey would star in a movie based on Mickey Spillane’s and Max Allan Collins’ “Mike Hammer” books with a script by Pizzolatto.

As August comes to a close, Hollywood has been hit by some heat: A bidding war over a red-hot television project that included several major streamers — and with Netflix coming out on top.

The mysterious and as-yet-untitled project brings together three intriguing names: True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto, his True Detective season one co-lead Matthew McConaughey and Yellowstone fan favorite Cole Hauser. Skydance Sports is the company behind the project.

Sources say Amazon, Apple and Netflix were on the court for this one, with Netflix winning. The project is considered in development with deals with McConaughey and Hauser to star are being finalized.

Fan-favorite actor Nicolas Cage could be heading to HBO. The actor is in talks to lead the upcoming fifth season of the crime anthology series True Detective.

According to Deadline, Cage is in talks for the lead role of Henry Logan, a New York detective on the case at the center of the new season, and has been circling the part for some time, meaning that it is unclear at this time whether the deal will actually close. However, Jodie Foster, who headlined the fourth season, True Detective: Night Country, also took a long time to close her deal, so there is a precedent.

Nicolas Cage has been on a horror hot streak with memorable performances in Mandy, Renfield, and Longlegs, and Variety reports that Cage is now in talks for “True Detective“!

Nicolas Cage is “nearing a deal” to star in the upcoming “True Detective” Season 5, which is again being helmed by “Night Country” creator Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid).

HBO’s “True Detective” has played host to some of the best actors of our time over the years, including Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in the standout first season, as well as Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Mahershala Ali, and Jodie Foster.

We recently learned that the new season of the hit...

Each season of True Detective is defined by its central star(s). Season 1 gave us the iconic pairing of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson; Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams took the lead in Season 2; Season 3 hinged on Mahershala Ali; and Season 4, aka Night Country, gave us the pairing of Jodie Foster and Kali Reis. Now, the upcoming fifth season of True Detective may have just found its new lead – and it’s an instant no-brainer.

HBO's Head of Drama Series and Film, Francesca Orsi, revealed that the new season will be set in New York (Jamaica Bay), and is now eyeing a Hollywood icon and Oscar winner to take the lead.

Academy Award-winner Nicolas Cage has starred in over 100 film productions with a few television appearances here and there. From Face/Off to Leaving Las Vegas, Honeymoon in Vegas, and more, since 1982, the actor has been busy filming something for the big screen at least once every year.

True Detective season 5 is starting to take shape as Nicolas Cage is in talks to star in the show. More below.

Thankfully, it seems that the new season is steadily moving forward. Variety reports that Nicolas Cage is close to signing a deal to star in season 5. Not much else is known about the new run – HBO appears to be keen on keeping plans close to its chest to protect the season’s mysteries.

Between Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey, Jodie Foster, Colin Farrell, Mahershala Ali, and Rachel McAdams, “True Detective” has a knack for getting big movie stars onto the small screen, and the latest could be someone who has only recently dipped his toes into television: Nicolas Cage. In fact, the actor hinted way back in 2023 that he may only have a few movies left in him and would’ve wanted to “have left on a high note” before turning to TV.

Nicolas Cage is deep in talks to star in True Detective season 5 — the next iteration of the moody crime drama.

The Oscar winner is up for an as-yet-unknown role in the anthology drama, but will presumably play the law enforcement officer at the center of another mystery thriller.

The season will follow up on HBO tapping another Oscar winner, Jodie Foster, headlining the anthology drama’s fourth season, True Detective: Night Country, to considerable acclaim. Night Country also was considered to have revived the brand, after a less-than-stellar previous two seasons.

The fourth season’s showrunner, Issa López, is expected to return for the new season. Earlier this year, HBO announced that season five would be set in Jamaica Bay, New York. The show is expected to premiere in 2027.

HBO's True Detectiveseason 5 looks to have found its next acclaimed star in the form of Nicolas Cage. Originally created by Nic Pizzolatto, the series has chronicled the experiences of a new detective each season as their investigations into a series of violent crimes also impact their personal lives.

Helmed by Pizzolatto for the first three seasons before Issa López took over with season 4, True Detective started as one of the most acclaimed HBO shows ever, being hailed for its performances, atmosphere and direction. Subsequent seasons, however, saw more mixed reviews from critics, though the most recent season, Night Country, saw the best critical response since season 1.

Cage would be the latest high-profile star to take on a leading role in “True Detective.” Leads of past seasons include Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Mahershala Ali, and Jodie Foster. Harrelson, McConaughey, Ali, and Foster all earned Emmy nominations for their respective seasons, while Foster won both an Emmy and Golden Globe Award for her work in Season 4.

In a major coup, director Baldvin Z, also co-owner of Icelandic production banner Glassriver, has convinced heavy-hitter director-producer Baltasar Kormákur(“Beast”, “Everest,” “Trapped”) to go back to acting for his forthcoming intense drama “Dark Ocean.”

Netflix has revealed the premiere date, key art, and first photos for House of Guinness, the upcoming drama series from Steven Knight. Knight is writing the next James Bond movie for Amazon MGM Studios.

From production companies Kudos and Nebulastar, House of Guinness will premiere on Netflix on September 25, 2025.

House of Guinness explores an epic story inspired by one of Europe’s most famous and enduring dynasties – the Guinness Family.

Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story begins immediately after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery, and the far-reaching impact of his will on the fate of his four adult children, Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben, as well as on a group of Dublin characters who work and interact with the phenomenon that is Guinness.

Created and written by Steven Knight, the series is executive produced by Karen Wilson,...

Every small town carries its stories, but in Will Canon’s new feature The Confession, those stories fester into something far darker. Making its debut at this year’s FrightFest in London, the film reimagines the legend of the Pied Piper against the backdrop of rural Texas, exposing a family history bound up in violence, secrecy and supernatural menace.

Italia Ricci leads the cast as Naomi, a struggling musician who returns to her childhood home with her young son, Dylan. While unpacking the remnants of her father’s life, she stumbles upon an unsettling recording in which he confesses to a brutal murder. The revelation would be disturbing enough, but his claim that he acted to protect himself from a mysterious evil force raises deeper questions. As Naomi begins to notice her son’s increasingly troubling behaviour, the roots of her family’s past intertwine with the sinister folklore of her hometown.

Netflix has unveiled the key art and first-look images of its cast for House of Guinness.

Louis Partridge, Anthony Boyle, Emily Fairn, Fionn O’Shea and James Norton star in the new show from Peaky Blinders mastermind Steven Knight — airing Sept. 25 on the streamer — about one of Europe’s most enduring dynasties.

Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story begins immediately after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery, and the far-reaching impact of his will on the fate of his four adult children, Arthur (Boyle), Edward (Partridge), Anne (Fairn) and Ben (O’Shea), as well as on a group of Dublin characters who work and interact with the phenomenon that is Guinness.

The star-studded cast also includes Dervla Kirwan (True Detective: Night Country), Jack Gleeson (Game of Thrones), Niamh McCormack (Everything Now), Danielle Galligan (Shadow and Bone), Ann Skelly...

The It films were terrifying in their own right — creepy sewers, strange visions, and a clown you’d cross continents to avoid. But there’s something about Welcome to Derry that feels different — it’s just not about replaying old nightmares, but something even more unsettling we are not aware of. This is ground zero for the fear, the moment the town’s curse took root.

And now, we’re finally going to see just how far Derry’s darkness spreads.

From what we know, HBO isn’t rushing the scares. Instead, it appears that they are creating an atmosphere that gradually seeps into you with each episode. The kind that makes you mistrust every shadow, every flicker of light, and every neighbor who smiles a bit too broadly. The series will stretch back decades before the Losers’ Club, filling in the blanks the films only hinted at.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine star Taylor Kitsch addresses being replaced by Channing Tatum in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kitsch played Gambit, a prisoner of William Stryker on Three Mile Island, who helped Wolverine locate it and later saved him from a falling cooling tower. Tatum was considered for the role in the movie, but due to scheduling conflicts, the star had to drop out.

In Deadpool & Wolverine, Tatum made a cameo appearance as Gambit. He's also scheduled to play a part in Avengers: Doomsday, in which he is expected to reprise the Cajun superhero.

In an interview with ScreenRant about Prime Video's The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, set to premiere on August 27, Kitsch, who reprises his role as Ben Edward, talked briefly about being replaced by Tatum as Gambit in the MCU. The star admitted that he hasn't seen Tatum's version and clarified that "Gambit wasn't in the cards" for him.
