Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for the Season 4 finale of “Godfather of Harlem,” now streaming on MGM+.

In the Season 4 finale of “Godfather of Harlem,” gangster Elsworth “Bumpy” Johnson (Forest Whitaker) finds himself right back where he started, partnering with the Italian mob to run heroin and cocaine through the streets of Harlem. Throughout Season 4, Bumpy attempts to become a legitimate businessman to honor the wishes of his late friend, activist Malcolm X (Jason Alan Carvel). Unfortunately, the numbers runner and crime boss learns the hard way that you cannot be half a gangster.

It’s 1966, and Harlem is changing rapidly. Without his drug business, Bumpy no longer has the overhead nor the power to prevent the Italians from encroaching on his territory and stripping opportunities from Black Harlemites. Despite his best efforts, his thriving new nightclub, Club St. Clair, was ripped from underneath him in a shady deal...

A sci-fi series starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista is getting new attention on Apple TV+. The show, called See, was one of the very first original series released by Apple TV+. It premiered alongside other early Apple shows like The Morning Show, For All Mankind, and Dickinson.

Despite the big launch, See didn’t become as popular as Apple probably hoped. After three seasons, it ended in 2022 and was mostly forgotten.

But recently, See has been climbing back up in Apple TV+’s streaming charts. According to Cbr, the show is currently in the top ten worldwide on Apple TV+, even reaching number seven on June 12. Other popular shows like Ted Lasso, Severance, and Your Friends and Neighbors are also on the list. Interestingly, See is the oldest show on the list, having premiered a year before Ted Lasso.

Books and TV shows have had a special relationship for over a century now. There have been countless TV adaptations of popular books, and even if we count this year (which isn’t over), there have been over seven or eight. While there have been many brilliant books that were adapted through the years, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the TV shows are also good, and that’s why we decided to compile a list of the absolute best TV shows that were based on books. As a side note, we also decided not to include Game of Thrones and Dexter, mainly because of how they ended.

The champ has entered the building for this week's episode of Godfather of Harlem Season 4, and he's here to talk some sense into Jerome Greene (Elijah Wright). Collider can exclusively share a new sneak peek at Episode 8 of the MGM+ crime drama, titled "If We Must Die," which sees Mayme Johnson (Ilfenesh Hadera) leverage none other than The Greatest himself, Muhammad Ali, embodied once again by The Rookie and All American star Deric Augustine, to get through to the young man before he makes a life-changing decision. Delia's (Roslyn Ruff) son is drafted to fight in Vietnam like many others, but the Black Panthers aren't about to sit idly by. The hope is that the legendary boxer, who himself took a stand against the war, will be able to find some common ground with him.

In the brief sneak peek, Jerome and Delia are seated for lunch at the diner...

As FBI: Most Wanted prepared to say goodbye following an untimely cancellation, the show started crafting endings for some of its characters. A lot of focus was given on Barnes' (Roxy Sternberg) next pursuits in the final episodes of the season. It was strongly insinuated that she would leave the Fugitive Task Force for a desk job so that she could be close to her children. However, in the series finale, it was revealed that she would take over the Fugitive Task Force following Remy Scott's (Dylan McDermott) retirement. It was a surprising development, but it was done to keep the character consistent. "After her divorce, the question for Barnes in Season 6 was, who am I?" showrunner David Hudgins told TV Insider after the show's final episode. "In the end, she decided that she could never do a desk job; she is happiest when being a ‘cop’ and taking bad guys off the street.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for FBI: Most Wanted Season 6 Episode 14 “100%.”] FBI: Most Wanted‘s first episode to air after news of its cancellation with its current sixth season is a memorable one — and the show’s 100th! — putting one of the Fugitive Task Force’s own in the middle of a hostage situation and teasing the possibility of a major loss. Hana (Keisha Castle-Hughes) accompanies Ethan (Michael Raymond-James), who promises he’s done with oxycodone, to the Va, and he’s filling out the paperwork for rehab when two vets take them and three other hostages. Danny wants Carver’s disability rating upped to 100 percent (from 50); he took two bullets to the spine and is now a paraplegic. Hana quickly texts the rest of the team about the situation (before her phone, with the others, is ...

Update 3/11: The trailer for the MGM+ original series Godfather of Harlem just dropped and Frank Lucas (Rome Flynn), “a country boy looking to make a name for himself,” according to Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker) in the video, is already making waves in New York City.

Watch the trailer in full above.

Previous 01/23: Forest Whitaker returns as Bumpy Johnson in Season 4 of the MGM+ original series Godfather of Harlem on April 13. A teaser released on Thursday (above) reveals newcomer Frank Lucas (Rome Flynn) has arrived in New York City and there’s potential for a lot of drama.

In Season 4 of Godfather of Harlem, Bumpy continues his bloody war for control of Harlem against New York’s Mafia families, while contending with the arrival of gangster Frank Lucas. After Malcolm X’s (Jason Alan Carvell) tragic assassination, Bumpy must also grapple with his daughter Elise’s (Antionette Crowe-Legacy) involvement with the Black Panthers.

Hana’s taken hostage on CBS’s FBI: Most Wanted season six episode 14, airing on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 at 10pm Et/Pt. Directed by Ken Girotti and written by Wendy West & Jon-Alexander Genson, episode 14 will be the first episode to air after CBS confirmed they’ve canceled the FBI spinoffs Most Wanted and International. Season six is Most Wanted‘s final season and International will end with season four.

Dylan McDermott leads the cast as Supervisory Special Agent Remy Scott. Season six also stars Shantel VanSanten as Special Agent Nina Chase, Roxy Sternberg as Special Agent Sheryll Barnes, Keisha Castle-Hughes as Special Agent Hana Gibson, and Edwin Hodge as Special Agent Ray Cannon.

“100%” Plot: While helping Ethan seek treatment at a Va Hospital, Hana puts out an Sos to the Fugitive Task Force when she is among those taken hostage by an enraged veteran, on the 100th episode. William Nicol, Ben Cain,...

When the FBI franchise returns next week, on March 11, after a one-week exemption, FBI: Most Wanted will air its landmark one-hundredth episode. Titled "100%," FBI: Most Wanted Season 6, Episode 14 puts Hana's (Keisha Castle-Hughes) life at risk when she and several other people are held hostage at a Va hospital, according to the logline below. The Fugitive Task Force pauses the hunt when one of their own needs their help, and they begin rescue efforts. CBS released a sneak peek of this monumental episode, which shows Hana and Ethan (Michael Raymond-James) being held hostage by a veteran at the end of their line. A race against time begins when the hostage-taker starts the clock on their demands or they'll shoot and kill Hana.

In less than two weeks, FBI: Most Wanted will return with an intense episode that will see Special Agent Hana (Keisha Castle-Hughes) and her boyfriend Ethan (Michael Raymond-James) find themselves in some serious trouble. The installment is set to air on Tuesday, March 11, and we already have a first look courtesy of TV Insider, revealing Hana and Ethan are taken as hostages after the most recent episode saw the former agree to meet with her beau when he asked for help with his latest mess.

Uh-oh, this isn’t good! Hana (Keisha Castle-Hughes) and Ethan (Michael Raymond-James) end up in some serious trouble in the next FBI: Most Wanted episode, airing March 11, and TV Insider has your exclusive first look. In the latest episode, Ethan revealed the reason for the pills she’d found: He’d nearly broken his back when he was in the Marines when he slipped during an urban warfare exercise and fell almost 50 feet. He was prescribed pills, and he became addicted. She made him promise he’d get clean, using an in-person detox program at the Va. After she took care of his drug dealer threatening to tell his job (he’s an Air Marshal), she helped him pack for the program and hurried him along so he wouldn’t miss his intake appointment. Mark Schafer/CBS But he insisted he had to tell her something before they left, and...

Might there be hope for Hana (Keisha Castle-Hughes) and Ethan (Michael Raymond-James) on FBI: Most Wanted? She seemed ready to write him off after learning he’s been taking pills, but in TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the February 25 episode, there may be a glimmer of hope. It was two episodes ago that Remy (Dylan McDermott) asked what was going on. “I miss him like crazy,” she admitted, though he wasn’t on her mind at the time. She could’ve ended up in the foster system like the fugitives they were after at the time; she can’t imagine what it’s like to feel unwanted and knows they were solid ground for one another. Ethan was that for Hana, too, but she never told him. “What you said, this dude needs help. Be careful,” Remy warned. Now, in our exclusive clip, Ethan stops by Hana’s after she invites him over.

After a slow, methodic episode of hunting down a depraved sex offender, the Fugitive Task Force is ready for a proper hunt involving all the bells and whistles. The next one takes them to Virginia, where college students have died under alarming circumstances. In FBI: Most Wanted Season 6, Episode 13, "Greek Tragedy," the team unearths a twisted drug operation involving a drug dealer who's using college students to cook. CBS released a sneak peek from the February 25 episode, which teases the events in the episode when a restless drug dealer wreaks havoc on campus. The official logline below teases a revisiting of Hana (Keisha Castle-Hughes) and Ethan's (Michael Raymond-James) dynamic post-breakup.

Today, premium network MGM+ released a first-look teaser for Godfather of Harlem Season 4, coming to the linear and streaming service on April 13.

Uh-oh, it’s beginning to look like Hana (Keisha Castle-Hughes) maybe shouldn’t trust her boyfriend, Ethan (Michael Raymond-James), on FBI: Most Wanted. Just look at TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the December 3 episode as the FBI agent and Air Marshal cozy up on the couch. The good news? Ethan’s dog loves Hana—which makes sense, given how much time she’s spending with him. “I know I’ve bene Mia lately, but I do have a special night planned for us this week,” Ethan tells her. “I got us tickets to the Rockettes’ Christmas Spectacular at Radio City. I know it’s corny.” But Hana is all for it. “I love corny. I actually love Christmas—especially if it’s with you,” she says. The two share a cute moment before his dog interrupts. But after Ethan leaves to take him out, Hana sees a text come through on his phone…...

Remember the days when buddy cop shows were the bread and butter of American television?

From Starsky & Hutch to Miami Vice, the genre gave us mismatched partners who bickered, bantered, and ultimately brought down the bad guys.

It was escapism at its finest — a world of fast cars, sharp one-liners, and explosive finales.

Starsky & Hutch (ABC/Screenshot)

But over the years, the buddy cop genre has faded from the U.S. small screen.

Don’t worry, though; it’s alive and well — it just packed its bags and went global.

A Brief History of Buddy Cop Glory

The buddy cop formula hit its stride in the 1980s and 1990s, an era when the appeal of Lethal Weapon and Beverly Hills Cop carried over from the big screen to TV.

Shows like Starsky & Hutch and Cagney & Lacey offered variations on the theme, combining humor, action, and, occasionally, a dash of drama.

The final moments of the “FBI: Most Wanted” Season 6 premiere found Fugitive Task Force leader Remy Scott (Dylan McDermott) breaking down after apprehending — and being attacked by — a serial killer who’d escalated to a sniper shooting spree.

“I wanted to start the season with a very scary, terrifying, dangerous, formidable fugitive,” showrunner David Hudgins told TheWrap of the psychotically mother-obsessed killer played by Andrew Burnap.

As for showing Remy recovering from his injuries and being comforted by girlfriend Abby (Susan Misner), Hudgins said, “I wanted to ground the show, because the truth is, this is a dangerous job. And it’s not often that you go unscathed your whole career. I thought it was a nice moment of vulnerability for him with Abby as well.”

Remy will be fine after being punched in the jaw and rouged up, Hudgins assured us, walking away with merely a temporary case of tinnitus.

“FBI: Most Wanted” returns Tuesday night at 9 p.m. on CBS. In the Season 6 premiere, the Fugitive Task Force investigates a string of gruesome killings after a detective is brutally murdered.

Remy Scott (Dylan McDermott) is still leading the group, which is down one member without Sheryll Barnes, who has taken time off to recover from a gunshot and deal with the breakup of her marriage to Charlotte Gaines (Fedna Jacquet).

In real life, the actress who plays Barnes, Roxy Sternberg, has been out on maternity leave, but the character will return to active duty soon.

When does “FBI: Most Wanted” Season 6 premiere?

“FBI: Most Wanted” Season 6 premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 9 p.m. on CBS and airs weekly on Tuesdays.

Where are new episodes of “FBI: Most Wanted” Season 6 streaming?

New episodes are streaming live Tuesdays on Paramount+ if you have the Paramount+ with Showtime subscription. For Paramount+ Essential subscribers,...

Fox's crime drama Prison Break ran for five original seasons in the mid to late 2000s and starred several actors with successful TV careers. Seeing the success of serialized shows like Lost and 24, the network had faith in the success of Prison Break. The series is set in prison and stars Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller as imprisoned brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield. The former is accused of murder and sentenced to death, while the latter gets himself put in prison so he can break his brother out, believing he is innocent.

The thrills and originality established in Prison Break season 1 earned widespread acclaim. Though later seasons of Prison Break would struggle to return to a similar status, the series still had a strong fan base. The response from audiences prompted both a TV film based on the series' characters and a revival season in 2017. Many of Prison Break...

HBO is known for some of the greatest dark fantasy drama shows ever made and since all of its content is available on Max (formerly known as HBO Max). From the very brilliant (until its last couple of seasons) fantasy series Game of Thrones and its prequel series House of the Dragon, we have picked out all of the best fantasy shows that are available on Max to binge right now.

His Dark Materials Credit – HBO

His Dark Materials is a British fantasy and mystery adventure drama series created by Jack Thorne. Based on a trilogy of fantasy novels of the same name by author Philip Pullman, the HBO series is set in an alternate world and it follows the story of Lyra, a young orphan girl who grew up with the scholars of a college in Oxford as she goes on a life-changing adventure to find her missing best friend.

There’s an old rule in TV that when a show becomes a hit, you’re going to see copycats. So when Lost exploded onto TV screens as a monster success in 2004, it’s no shock that networks were quick to copy it. Sadly, too many of these would-be clones couldn’t come close to Lost’s success, failing to make their mythology or storytelling compelling enough for viewers and the majority didn’t last one season.

Yet there are a number of shows that can appeal to Lost fans. Most are pretty blatant in the setup of folks traveling and somehow trapped in a strange place. Others utilize some great mythology and are backed by a terrific cast to work well. With Lost on Netflix again, it’s time to enjoy the best of shows inspired by it, and these 15 shows definitely appeal to anyone who loves Lost’s unique storytelling style.

Law & Order: Organized Crime, which began airing in 2021, has had four seasons full of drug traffickers, money launderers, kidnappers, and murderers to contend with. Led by Ayanna Bell (Danielle Mon Truitt) and Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni), the Organized Crime Control Bureau (Occb) investigates crime related to criminal syndicates like the mob and other international gangs and drug rings. Other members of the Occb include Jet Slootmaekers (Ainsley Seiger), a detective who specializes in technology, and Bobby Reyes (Rick Gonzalez), who is best known for his undercover work.

The Occb has had several other members, including a couple who were killed in action, and they occasionally work with the Special Victims Unit, especially Stabler's former partner, Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay). Though Organized Crime is a member of the Law & Order universe, it is one of the most unique shows that the franchise has ever developed. The show is designed...

Godfather of Harlem has added a new recurring guest star for season four. Rome Flynn (With Love) will appear in the upcoming episodes of the crime drama. Season three finished airing in March of 2023, and MGM+ renewed the series for its fourth season in November. Ten episodes are being produced.

The series, which stars Forest Whitaker, Vincent D’Onofrio, Ilfenesh Hadera, Lucy Fry, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy, Giancarlo Esposito, Whoopi Goldberg, Michael Raymond-James, and Jason Alan Carvell, follows the life of Bumpy Johnson (Whitaker) as he fights to take back Harlem after being in prison for 11 years.

The hit ABC series Once Upon a Time included an abundance of interesting storylines, relationships, and, above all, characters. Almost all of the people in the show were characters from previous works of fiction. While the characters came from preexisting stories, that didn't stop Once Upon a Time from putting its own spin on the people of Storybrooke.

The series was a revolving door of characters, from Disney's Anna and Elsa to the Grimm Brothers' Snow Queen, but only a chosen few were able to take center stage throughout the majority of the series. Those chosen few were able to have a more fleshed-out backstory, relationships, and character growth compared to others. In short, the best characters in Once Upon a Time were those who saw the most development overall.

Updated by Joshua M. Patton on January 16, 2024: The Once Upon a Time series was an interesting experiment in storytelling and Disney's corporate vertical integration.

Bumpy takes on the Cuban mob in the third season of the Godfather of Harlem TV show on MGM+. As we all know, Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Godfather of Harlem is cancelled or renewed for season four.

The world of television has never been more exciting than it is today. With an endless supply of content available at our fingertips, we're spoilt for choice when it comes to binge-worthy shows. But sometimes, a shorter series can be just as satisfying as a long-running one. In an age where binge-watching has become the norm, we often find ourselves lost in the labyrinth of multi-season dramas. While these shows can be incredibly rewarding, there's something to be said for a concise, well-crafted story that doesn't overstay its welcome. Sometimes, a short series can be a breath of fresh air, offering a unique perspective and telling a complete story in just a handful of episodes.

Some of the best one-season TV shows weren't meant to be that way. They were canceled after just one season, leaving fans wondering what could have been. But even though they didn't get the chance to continue,...

Stars: Clayne Crawford, Jordana Brewster, Carl Kennedy, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Michael Raymond-James, Charline St. Charles | Written and Directed by Robert Machoian

Director Robert Machoian follows up his well-received drama The Killing of Two Lovers with another low-budget but intriguing and original drama. In The Integrity of Joseph Chambers a man goes off hunting in the woods alone to seemingly prove something to his family, and himself, that he can ‘survive’ in the woods and be the ‘man’ of the house. It will come as no surprise that his irresponsibility leads him to a terrible situation.

First off, the movie looks fantastic. The cinematography is up there with the very best. I loved every shot of the woodland and the man walking around the woodland. I’m sure there’ll be some people who watch certain scenes and think that ‘nothing happens’. It’s just a guy walking through the woods,...

Also starring Jordana Brewster, Michael Raymond James, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the film follows insurance salesman and family man Joseph Chambers, who begins an experiment to prove himself as a capable father and husband that turns into a nightmare as he finds himself faced with a terrible choice that he must make. Ahead of a February 17 release in theaters and on VOD, the new trailer has now arrived.

John Fink said in his review, “Arriving at a scary time in American history when inflation is at an unprecedented high, The Integrity of Joseph Chambers is initially willing to lean into the impulse some have to buy a year’s worth of freeze-dried meals from Costco in the event of global catastrophe.

Bumpy Johnson’s Harlem territory is under threat from the Italian crime families in the Godfather of Harlem Season 3 trailer, which TV Insider exclusively premieres above. Starring Forest Whitaker (Andor) as the infamous mobster, the third season of the lauded gangster epic will premiere Sunday, January 15 at 9/8c on the newly branded MGM+, formerly known as Epix. The Godfather of Harlem trailer confirms the return of Whoopi Goldberg (The View) as Miss Willa and introduces Michael Raymond-James as Italian mob boss Joe Colombo. Jason Alan Carvell will now play Malcolm X, replacing Nigel Thatch (who also played the civil rights activist in Selma). Godfather of Harlem tells a story inspired by infamous crime boss Bumpy Johnson (Whitaker), who, in the early 1960s, returned from 11 years in prison to find the neighborhood he once ruled in shambles. Season 3 will find Bumpy Johnson continuing to battle for control ...

“I realized there could be a gangster show that was the collision of organized crime and civil rights, and that turns out to be a Rubik’s Cube that’s incredibly difficult to solve,” declares Chris Brancato, co-creator and showrunner of “Godfather of Harlem,” which is set to premiere its anticipated third season on newly-named MGM+ (currently Epix). For our recent webchat he adds, “it was immediately apparent to us that by using the prism of the past, we could talk about things of contemporary relevance,” he explains. “What we also can see from the show is, on the one hand, things have changed greatly for African Americans. We’ve had an African American president. But on the other hand, things haven’t changed much at all, and so that’s what the show’s trying to articulate.” We talked with Brancato as part of Gold Derby’s special “Meet...

Exclusive: Gravitas Ventures has snapped up U.S. rights to the drama The Integrity of Joseph Chambers, written and directed by Sundance prize winner Robert Machoian (The Killing of Two Lovers), from Visit Films. The Anthem Sports & Entertainment Company plans to release the film in limited theaters and on demand in February of 2023.

In the pic reuniting Machoian with Clayne Crawford — who exec produced and starred in The Killing — the latter plays Joseph, who – wanting to acquire the skills to be able to take care of his family in case of an apocalypse – decides to go deer hunting by himself for the first time ever, despite his wife’s objections. Setting out into the mountains with a borrowed rifle, he roams the woods aimlessly in search of deer. His boredom is short-lived, however, when in the blink of an eye he goes through a traumatic experience. What starts as an...

Baba Voss returns to protect his tribe once more in the third season of the See TV show on Apple TV+. As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like See is cancelled or renewed for season four. Apple TV+ and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. If you've been watching this TV series, we'd love to know how you feel about the third season episodes of See here.

An Apple TV+ post-apocalyptic drama series, the See TV show stars Jason Momoa, Sylvia Hoeks, Hera Hilmar, Christian Camargo, Archie Madekwe, Nesta Cooper, Tom Mison, Olivia Cheng, Eden Epstein, Michael Raymond-James, David Hewlett and Trieste Kelly Dunn. Created by Steven Knight, the series takes place in the distant future,...

Are you ready to say goodbye to See?

The hit Apple TV+ drama wraps up its run later this month.

Before we get to that, we have See Season 3 Episode 7, which brings plenty of conflict to the surface.

TV Fanatic scored an exclusive first look at the installment that will surely switch things up.

Queen Kane (Sylvia Hoeks) and Kofun (Archie Madekwe) get into quite the war of words in the clip as they both come to terms with the big changes.

It certainly leaves us with many questions as we head into the episode.

As previously reported, See Season 3 will conclude the Jason Moma drama.

"Almost a year has passed since Baba Voss (Momoa) defeated his nemesis brother Edo and bid farewell to his family to live remotely in the forest," the official logline reads.

"But when a Trivantian scientist develops a new and devastating form of sighted weaponry...

The final season of See has been filled with big moments.

Looking ahead to See Season 3 Episode 3, airing Friday on Apple TV+, we have a lot to unpack.

TV Fanatic scored an exclusive sneak peek of "This Land Is Your Land," which finds Baba Voss (Jason Momoa) and Maghra (Hera Hilmar) having a complicated conversation.

See Season 3 has thus far been building the tension as the hit drama series prepares for its endgame.

We learned ahead of the season premiere that the show would be wrapping up, and you can tell the series is getting ready for one last battle.

"Almost a year has passed since Baba Voss (Momoa) defeated his nemesis brother Edo and bid farewell to his family to live remotely in the forest," the official logline reads.

"But when a Trivantian scientist develops a new and devastating form of sighted weaponry that threatens the future of humanity,...

With the third season of See now streaming on Apple TV+, I recently participated in a group interview with Jason Momoa to talk about the making of the final season. During the interview, Momoa talked about why the series ended with Season 3, how they shot Season 2 and 3 back-to-back before he made Aquaman 2, what he learned about acting while making See, bringing in Michael Raymond-James, and having to loop the entire final fight scene and why he hated the process. In addition, he talks about filming the big final fight scene with second unit director Damon Caro, and why people like watching him punch villains in the face.
