Jules Verne’s classic novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea has been the subject of a handful of Hollywood interpretations, from the 1954 James Mason and Kirk Douglas Disney original to the 1997 Patrick Dempsey and Michael Caine TV miniseries. It even was a major Disney World attraction from 1971 to 1994, where guests could take their own underwater adventure and see mythical creatures within the park’s lagoon. Now a new adventure awaits viewers in AMC‘s action-drama Nautilus, which shares the origin story of the famed Captain Nemo, an Indian prince robbed of his birthright and family, who was taken prisoner and is now out for revenge. The 10-episode adventure is inspired by Verne’s book and follows Nemo’s (Shazad Latif) escape from prison and quest to seek justice upon the people who wronged him and his family. Get an exclusive look at the action ahead in the Nautilus clip above.

After a successful run on ABC’s flagship series, Grey’s Anatomy, Scott Speedman will be doing double duty for the network as a former photojournalist who returns from a stint in prison to become a private detective. Fans of Grey’s Anatomy can look forward to the series, entitled Rj Decker, but most are anticipating news of whether Speedman will be reprising his role as Dr. Nick Marsh on the medical drama. Showrunner Meg Marinis told Deadline tidbits that should inflame viewer sentiment about his possible return to Grey’s Anatomy.

“Obviously, deals haven’t been made yet, but we love Scott, and his character Nick and Meredith are still together," Marinis explained. "He was also at the star ceremony supporting Ellen, so it was really great to see. Oh, and the fans were so excited to see him there with her.”

This isn’t necessarily a confirmation, but Speedman’s continuing...

Patrick Dempsey posted a rare family photo, celebrating his twin sons’ graduation from high school.

His sons, Darby and Sullivan, attended Crossroads high school in Los Angeles.

A family photo is rare for the Dempseys especially after marriage troubles between Jillian and Patrick. Jillian filed for divorce against Dempsey in 2015, which the couple announced in a public statement.

Though soon after in 2016, Patrick was seen supporting Jillian at the Image Makers Awards for her work as a celebrity makeup artist. A source then stated that they were working on their relationship, and the couple has remained together.

She captioned the post, “C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S Class Of 2025! I am such a proud momma. Life’s next chapter is upon us – go get it my sweet boys! Love you both to the moon and back”

People come and go on "Grey's Anatomy" all the time. The long-running medical drama created by Shonda Rhimes was introduced as a mid-season replacement back in 2005 and has seen a lot of main cast members join and leave the show over the years; even its titular "Grey," Ellen Pompeo's Meredith, "left" the series in November 2022. But what about Meredith's "person" Dr. Cristina Yang, the cardiothoracic superstar played by Sandra Oh for the show's first 10 seasons?

Cristina is one of the show's five original surgical interns — alongside Meredith, Dr. George O'Malley (T.R. Knight), Dr. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), and Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens (Katherine Heigl), all of whom also leave the show and its fictional Seattle-based hospital behind at some point — and pretty early in the series, it's established that she and Meredith are best friends. Despite her relationships with other doctors on "Grey's Anatomy," like cardiothoracic attending Dr.

Jesse Williams played the beloved Dr. Jackson Avery on Grey’s Anatomy for 12 seasons. He first appeared in the show as a recurring cast member in the fifth season. He was later added to the main cast in the sixth season, where Avery joined Seattle Grace’s residency program with Meredith Grey and Cristina Yang. His exit as a regular cast member from the show came in the 17th season.

Williams later returned to the show for a few guest appearances, most notably in the show’s 400th episode in Season 18 and two episodes in Season 19 to facilitate Ellen Pompeo’s exit. In the show, Williams’ most significant story arc was his on-and-off relationship with Dr. April Kepner, played by Sarah Drew.

Somewhere, Kevin Williamson and Paramount Pictures were experiencing heart palpitations on Monday morning when Joel McHale joined his Scream 7 co-star, Mark Consuelos, on the latter’s talk show, Live with Kelly and Mark. The comedian sat down with Consuelos and his wife/co-host on the daily series to talk about his experience working on the seventh installment in the beloved slasher franchise. When it comes to being incredibly careful about avoiding spoilers, Scream is right up there with Marvel as far as the level of seriousness is concerned. Yet, McHale wasn’t afraid to be his authentic comedic self when Kelly Ripa asked him about appearing in the movie alongside her husband.

“Yes, and we’re both the killers,” McHale said to the laughs of the studio audience, adding, “We kill everybody. And we both play Neve Campbell.” The difficult part is that we won’t know if McHale’s...

Fox has canceled its drama series Alert: Missing Persons Unit and The Cleaning Lady.

The decision comes shortly after the two shows wrapped their 2024-25 seasons: Alert aired its last episode on May 27, and The Cleaning Lady finished up on June 3. They end their runs on Fox after three and four seasons.

The cancellations are not a big surprise, as Alert and The Cleaning Lady were at the lower end of Fox’s ratings for the season. In seven-day linear ratings (not including streaming), Alert averaged 2.16 million viewers and The Cleaning Lady, 1.68 million, well below the totals for renewed dramas Doc (4.6 million) and Murder in a Small Town (3.15 million). Fox also canceled first-year drama Rescue: Hi-Surf in May.

With the cancellations, Fox has just two shows still awaiting word on their futures. Animated series The Great North is running through the summer, and the network probably won’t make a decision for a while.

It’s the end of the road for “Alert: Missing Persons Unit” and “The Cleaning Lady” at Fox.

Fox has opted not to renew either series, the network announced Friday, leading “Alert: Missing Persons Unit” to end with its third season and “The Cleaning Lady” to end with its fourth season. The news comes just after both shows debuted their season finales Fox, with “Alert: Missing Persons Unit” wrapping up its third season on May 27 while “The Cleaning Lady” aired its Season 4 finale on June 3.

Created by John Eisendrath and Jamie Foxx and showrun by Carla Kettner, “Alert: Missing Persons Unit” starred Scott Caan (“Hawaii Five-0”) and Dania Ramirez (“Devious Maids”) as detectives Jason Grant and Nikki Batista, who head up missing persons searches for Philadelphia Police Department’s missing persons unit.

“The Cleaning Lady,” which was created by Miranda Kwok, starred Élodie Yung as Thony, a Cambodian-Filipino doctor who comes to the U.

Sandra Ohhas been in some iconic things. She was part of The Princess Diaries movies, she voiced Ming Lee in Turning Red, but for many fans, she will always be Cristina Yang on the hit ABC series Grey's Anatomy.

Thanksgivingstar Nell Verlaque has offered an exciting update on the horror movie's sequel. Eli Roth will return as director for the second installment of the horror franchise.

Verlaque, who played serial killer John Carver's nemesis Jessica in the first film, told Deadline on Monday (May 19) that she was "really excited" to get back on set for Thanksgiving 2. She also confirmed that filming is tentatively scheduled to take place very soon.

Nell Verlaque Offers New Hints about Thanksgiving 2

"I think we will be filming this year," she confirmed. "I actually just saw Eli, and we’re talking about some plot points, so I’m really excited for it."

Roth's 2023 hit made more than $46 million at the worldwide box office against a modest budget of only $15 million. The holiday-themed horror movie achieved critical acclaim as well as commercial success, as it received a 84% critical score and a 78% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Get a head start on the fall festivities with the Thanksgiving: John Carver’s Carving Board Game from Fright-Rags.

Based on Eli Roth‘s Thanksgiving, the game is designed by Roth and Jon Cohn. It features cover art by Zachary Jackson Brown and a layout by Fright-Rags’ Joe Guy Allard.

3-12 players start by attending a department store Black Friday sale that quickly gets out of hand, with people horrifically dying in every aisle. But things go from bad to worse, because a killer wearing a John Carver mask is also on the loose murdering the townsfolk in droves.

Players are rewarded for dying… a lot! The player who dies the most is revealed to be John Carver, triggering a final battle between the rest of the players and the killer.

It includes a game board, die, Carver standee and clip, two Carver’s Carving cards, six Reference cards, one Round Counter token,...

With Thanksgiving months away, Nell Verlaque is getting ready for a second serving of Eli Roth‘s seasonal slasher.

At last Wednesday’s premiere of Prime Video‘s Overcompensating, the actress told Deadline that she’s “really excited” to get into production on the sequel to 2023’s Thanksgiving, which she hopes to film after completing production on her upcoming MGM+ series American Classic.

“I think we will be filming this year,” said Verlaque on the red carpet at the Hollywood Palladium. “I actually just saw Eli, and we’re talking about some plot points, so I’m really excited for it.”

With the first installment surpassing $46 million worldwide and Certified Fresh at 84% on Rotten Tomatoes, Roth announced a sequel on Instagram a few weeks after the original’s premiere in November 2023.

The director originally announced the Sony followup was “set for release in 2025,” noting that he and writer Jeff Rendell...

“Thanksgiving” star Nell Verlaque can’t wait to shoot the sequel to the surprise box office hit.

Her character Jessica is one of the few who survived director and co-writer Eli Roth’s first Turkey-time holiday slasher.

Verlaque tells me she’s read parts of the follow-up script and Roth has shared some more ideas with her.

“I would like to get covered in blood,” she told me at the premiere of Benito Skinner’s new Prime Video comedy series, “Overcompensating.”

That’s the least gruesome of her ideas. “I told him I really wanted to be tortured,” Verlaque said. “Like fully pained [and] tortured.”

She said of Roth’s boundary-pushing work, “I think it’s more fun as an actor. The crazier, the better for me.”

The first film revolved around a serial killer who dresses like a 17th-century pilgrim and terrorizes residents of Plymouth, Mass., during the holiday season.

As a generation, we have been spoiled for options regarding the content we can watch. High-stakes fantasy dramas? Check. Action flicks where the protagonist comes back from the brink of death are common now. Not to forget, (quality) thrillers are around every corner.

While all of them hold their own lure, I can’t deny that nothing warms my heart more than watching a romcom. In a world obsessed with high-concept blockbusters, there’s something deeply comforting about returning to a good old-fashioned romcom. Valentine’s Day is one such movie that continues to warm my heart.

Patrick Dempsey will lead Fox’s straight-to-series thriller Memory of a Killer, slated for the 2025–2026 broadcast season. He portrays Angelo Ledda, a hitman who balances his role as a contract killer in New York City with a second life as a photocopier salesman and father in Cooperstown, New York.

Ledda’s carefully managed routine fractures when he receives an early onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis—the same illness that claimed his older brother. Soon after, he uncovers signs that his late wife’s death may have been intentional. When someone targets his pregnant daughter, he must sift through past assignments for clues, silently safeguarding his family while maintaining his cover.

Based on the 2003 Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer and its 2022 American adaptation Memory, the series merges psychological drama with suspense. Fox describes the lead as “a man who is losing his memory but gaining a conscience,” underscoring the character’s internal struggle amid violent circumstances.

Grey's Anatomy alum Patrick Dempsey has landed his next big role in a TV series.

Per TVLine, Dempsey has been cast as the star of the new Fox drama series Memory of a Killer. The news was announced by the network during its Upfront presentation on Monday, where it was revealed that the show will premiere during the 2025-26 broadcast television season. Dempsey will be playing Angelo Ledda, a "hitman leading a dangerous double life, while hiding an even deadlier personal secret." That secret is that he develops early onset Alzheimer's, which adds new complications to balancing his two personas as a "fearsome NYC hitman and sleepy upstate Cooperstown photocopier salesman and father."

The official logline for Memory of a Killer reads, "Alzheimer’s is a foe he can’t outrun, and he knows too well how this ends, as his older brother is already lost to the condition. Angelo is exceptionally resourceful and talented,...

Patrick Dempsey is returning to broadcast television as the lead star in Fox's new thriller series, Memory of a Killer. Dempsey is best known for playing Dr. Derek Shepherd, aka "McDreamy," in the early seasons of the long-running ABC series Grey's Anatomy until his departure in season 11 in 2015, which also marked his last network television show until now.

Per Deadline's report, Dempsey is set to lead Fox's straight-to-series Memory of a Killer, where he will play a hitman battling with early-onset Alzheimer's. The series, penned by Ed Whitmore and Tracey Malone, takes inspiration from the 2003 Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer, previously remade into Memory by director Martin Campbell and with Liam Neeson playing the lead role.

Patrick Dempsey is headed back to network television in a major way. Fox has officially ordered the drama series Memory of a Killer for the 2025–2026 season, with Dempsey set to take on the complex lead role. The announcement came Monday ahead of the network’s upfront presentation in New York, marking a high-profile return to broadcast for the actor best known as McDreamy on Grey’s Anatomy. Although, it must be said, this does not sound very McDreamy at all.

“Memory of a Killer is a propulsive series with a noisy, unrelenting character hook that immediately grabbed our attention,” said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network. “In the spirit of 24 and House, we’re introducing a daring new signature Fox lead, a complicated antihero facing unimaginable danger.”

Memory of a Killer will be Dempsey’s first broadcast lead role since his long run on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, where he played Dr.

The Masked Singer's extended break is to give the producers and crew a breather.

During a conference call to discuss Fox's 2025-26 schedule, Fox CEO Rob Wade explained why the reality juggernaut is sitting out the fall season for the first time since the show's January 2019 debut. The Masked Singer wrapped up its 13th season last week and will return with Season 14 in January 2026.

"People forget that The Masked Singer was the first show back during Covid," Wade noted, adding that the lengths to get that season on the air in September 2020 were "incredibly taxing for that crew and that cast." The Masked Singer has continued to air twice a year since then.

But now, Wade said, it's time to give the team "breathing space to regroup and get their breath back" before launching Season 14 midseason.

Updated: Fox has greenlit the drama series “Memory of a Killer” for the 2025-2026 season with Patrick Dempsey set for the lead role. The announcement came ahead of Fox’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York on Monday.

The new series is said to be inspired by the Belgian film “De Zaak Alzheimer,” aka “La Memoire Du Tueur.” Per the official logline, the show is a “dramatic thriller about a hitman (Dempsey) who develops early onset Alzheimer’s.”

“’Memory of a Killer’ is a propulsive series with a noisy, unrelenting character hook that immediately grabbed our attention,” said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network. “In the spirit of ’24’ and ‘House,’ we’re introducing a daring new signature Fox lead, a complicated antihero facing unimaginable danger.

With the reveal of Fox’s current game plan for the 2025-26 TV season, the fate of no fewer than four shows — Accused, Alert: Mission Persons Unit, The Cleaning Lady and The Great North — remains (theoretically) Tbd.

Accused Season 2, with 3.5 million total viewers (with delayed playback), was down 50% from the anthology’s freshman run, and ranked fifth out of the seven dramas that Fox aired this TV season, outperforming only Alert: Mpu (2.2 million viewers, down 13% vs. last year)) and The Cleaning Lady (just 1.7 million, down 14%).

Horror maestro Eli Roth has lined up his next horror movie after Thanksgiving 2 and according to the director, it's a film that studios "were too afraid" to make. However, longtime horror fans might be confused by its title.

Per Variety, Roth is set to write and direct Ice Cream Man, a new horror movie from Media Capital Technologies and The Horror Section. According to the outlet, Ice Cream Man is the "story of an idyllic summer town descending into madness when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results." Roth launched The Horror Section, a horror media company, in March alongside Media Capital Technologies to produce and distribute movies, TV, and podcasts in the horror landscape, according to The Hollywood Reporter. For Roth, Ice Cream Man is the perfect project for The Horror Section, as studios were apprehensive to make the movie, according to the horror filmmaker.

The Scream franchise is one of the best horror franchises of all time and it is definitely a pillar of the slasher genre. The original movie was a major hit that brought something new to a genre that seemingly showed it all, and since then, the franchise has become an important part of pop culture.

And while not every movie was successful, the recent outings were more or less successful and the franchise is now back on track, combining legacy characters with new stories and characters.

We know that Scream VII is set to be released on February 27, 2026 and is now being filmed, with many former starts, including Neve Campbell, returning. But the upcoming film might not be the last one with Campbell in the main role.

Swiss luxury watchmaker Tag Heuer has sights set on a new eyewear ambassador: Patrick Dempsey.

The veteran star, who has a history with Tag Heuer dating back to 2014, has been named the official face of Tag Heuer Eyewear. Images debuted today featuring Dempsey sporting new frames from the brand and its various lines including the Jack Heuer line, Mini Vingt-Sept line and Shield Pro line.

Partway through the sixth season of Shonda Rhimes' massive hit "Grey's Anatomy", we see Isobel "Izzie" Stevens, one of the series' original surgical interns played by Katherine Heigl, for the final time. To call Izzie's exit abrupt is ... an understatement. After getting fired from Seattle Grace-Mercy West hospital, Izzie flees, leaving her new husband, Dr. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), behind. When she comes back in "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked," she suggests that maybe she and Alex can fix things; he tells her that's not possible, and Izzie is never seen or heard from again.

Characters leave "Grey's Anatomy" all the time. Patrick Dempsey's leading man, Dr. Derek Shepherd (often referred to as "McDreamy"), left the series in season 11, Sandra Oh hung up her stethoscope in season 10 when her character, Dr. Cristina Yang, moved to Switzerland, and even the titular Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo,...

Grey's Anatomy put Ellen Pompeo on the map. Now, the show is well into Season 21, and Pompeo is less of a fixture in the series. Meredith Grey (Pompeo) is still alive, unlike some of her beloved friends and husband, McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey), and she can come back to the show whenever she wants. After Season 19, the show gave Meredith an emotional goodbye, but she's been back in both Season 20 and now Season 21. That isn't enough for some of her co-stars, though, like Debbie Allen.

Allen was speaking at Pompeo's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony when she shared that Grey's Anatomy wants her back. She joked that they allowed Pompeo to go and do Hulu's Good American Family,but wanted her back as Meredith. "We let her out to go do that other show," Allen joked. "Okay, Ms. Thing. Are you okay now? You did that. Now bring your butt back home.

For more than two decades, Ellen Pompeo has been the Disney princess of her own franchise. As the namesake protagonist of Shonda Rhimes’ venerable ABC medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” Pompeo’s Meredith Grey has transformed from a wide-eyed intern looking to follow in her Alzheimer’s-afflicted mother’s footsteps into a superstar surgeon and clinical researcher — all while enduring enough trauma to last multiple lifetimes in the process.

Pompeo will cement her status as one of the defining TV actors of the 21st century with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 29. An outspoken advocate for gender and racial equity, Pompeo says she’s never relished being the center of attention.

“I find it a little bit embarrassing, but at the same time, I know it’s a huge honor, so I’m grateful,” Pompeo tells Variety. As a Hollywood resident herself, she is “anxious” to see...

Why did TV fans have such a hard time believing that some of their favorite characters were just killed off? Because so many TV shows like “Game of Thrones,” “Supernatural” and “The X-Files” have brought back supposedly dead characters so often that the word “dead” has kind of lost all meaning in genre TV.

As for “9-1-1,” which killed off beloved fire captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) last week, the series’ first responders were routinely saved from certain death over and over in the previous seven seasons, that it seemed like none of them could ever really die.

Whether the fans, or the plot, demanded it, here are 11 onscreen deaths that were reversed by magic, rewritten or simply retconned away. Naturally, beware, there are lots of spoilers below.

Ellen Pompeo plays Meredith Grey herself on Grey's Anatomy, but her character only appears sporadically on the show these days. Some viewers have been wondering if Pompeo might quit altogether.

But she's not going to, and for one simple reason: The paycheck is too good. The actress explained her situation to El País magazine recently. "[Leaving the show] would make no sense, emotionally or financially," she told the outlet. "The show was streamed more than a billion times in 2024. More than a billion times." And that helped make her one of the highest-paid women on television.

Pompeo went on, “The companies that own the show and stream the show make a lot of money from our images and our voices and our faces. If I were to walk away completely, everybody gets to make money from my hard work for 20 years and I wouldn’t make any money. To me, it doesn’t...

Michael C. Hall has officially returned to his iconic role of Dexter Morgan. Vanity Fair has released the first images from Dexter: Resurrection, the upcoming sequel series set after the events of Dexter: New Blood. Dexter met his fate at the end of New Blood, a controversial decision that still doesn’t sit well with many Dexter fans to this day, but Hall told Vanity Fair in a sweeping interview to talk about the new show that Resurrection will “undo” the New Blood ending, bringing back the legendary serial killer who only hunts other killers. The new images show Hall reprising his role as Dexter, with other stars such as Jack Alcott, Peter Dinklage, and even David Zayas, who will return and play Angel Batista.

The first images from Vanity Fair of Dexter: Resurrection can be found here.

Scream 7 was almost undone following the firing of Melissa Barrera, the departure of Jenna Ortega, and director Christopher Landon leaving in the wake of the controversy. Now the Drop helmer has opened up about the issues he faced for even being part of the movie following Melissa Barrera’s firing, which is something he reiterated he was not responsible for despite those sentiments being shared online.

Speaking to Vanity Fair in support of his new movie, Drop, Landon shared the truth about Barrera’s firing, and how he was unable to influence it in any way. He said:

“I did not fire her. A lot of people think I had something to do with it, and it was not my doing. I had no control of the situation at all. I think in the absence of people understanding how Hollywood works and what the hierarchy is, the fans were like,...
