There’s finally promising news for the premiere of Apple TV+’s Foundation Season 3 after years of keeping fans in suspense. The latest scoop from TVLine’s Matt’s Inside Line reveals a “plausible” release date for the long-awaited season that was announced in December 2023. Foundation is loosely based on Isaac Asimov’s series of stories of the same name and was created for the streamer by David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman, who left as co-writer and co-showrunner in April 2019. Goyer also exited the series amid production issues in the past two years, with a new showrunner taking over.

Although there has been no official talk of when exactly Foundation will return to small screens, it may happen later this year. The precise report about its release window reads:

After being paused by the SAG-AFTRA strike and again by budget issues, filming on Season 3 wrapped last summer. Given...

Exclusive: After a rocky third season that saw the exit of co-developer/showrunner/director David S. Goyer amid production restarts and budget adjustments, things are looking up for Apple TV+’s sci-fi drama Foundation. With the completed third season not yet scheduled but likely to debut this year, the streamer and Foundation studio Skydance Television already are prepping a fourth installment of Isaac Asimov’s adaptation starring Jared Harris and Lee Pace.

Ian Goldberg (Fear the Walking Dead) has been tapped as new executive producer/showrunner, with a Season 4 writers room up and running, sources tell Deadline. Goldberg’s work on the show falls under an overall deal he has signed with Skydance TV, I hear.

Season 3, which originally paused production in spring 2023 after several weeks of filming due to the WGA strike, was delayed in its 2024 production restart because of issues related to budgeting and physical production. Filming eventually...

We can finally say and rejoice in the fact that Yellowjackets season 3 is here! If you watch the series on Paramount+, that means you've probably already started streaming it. However if Showtime is what you prefer, there's only one more day left for you to check out the first two episodes. And, they're oh so good!

And while we're so happy the new season is finally here, it isn't a binge drop. So that means there's going to be a week-long wait between new episodes. So during that time, or even if you choose to save this list later when the season is over, you might want something similar to watch. Well, we've got your back! Here's 4 survival shows like Yellowjackets to keep you entertained.

Chief John “Jack” Brennan has been part of General Hospital since 2023. However, the character might soon be sporting a new face. Charles Mesure is leaving the series with another actor taking on the character.

Actor Charles Mesure Has Already Given His Final Performance As Jack Brennan

Charles Mesure made his debut on General Hospital as Jack Brennan on December 1, 2023. By 2024, Mesure was promoted to a contract role on the soap.

Beforehand, the British-born Australian actor appeared in a variety of shows throughout Oceania and the United States. Some of his earlier roles included appearances on Desperate Housewives, Once Upon a Time, The Magicians, and Dead of Summer.

As Soap Opera Digest reported, however, Mesure is expected to soon be leaving the role. A spokesperson for the soap confirmed that Mesure was leaving of his own accord.

The source shared the following...

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are devastated to learn that horror icon Tony Todd, the legendary actor who played the title character in Candyman (1992) and its sequels, passed away on November 6 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 69. Deadline first reported the news.

The prolific actor amassed more than 240 film and TV credits spanning his four decade career. While the actor’s big break came when he was cast in Oliver Stone’s 1986 Vietnam War epic Platoon, he would secure his name in the genre pantheon just a few short years later.

Todd starred in Tom Savini’s 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead as Ben, the role played by Duane Jones in George A. Romero’s iconic 1968 original. Todd’s warm, commanding performance was one of the primary reasons this remake was so successful and it was a precursor to his turn as Candyman. Despite...

Tony Todd, an actor who played the killer in Candyman and appeared in the Final Destination franchise and Platoon among more than 240 film and TV credits spanning 40 years, died November 6 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 69.

His reps confirmed the news to Deadline but did not provide a cause of death.

Tony Todd in ‘Platoon’

Born on December 4, 1954, in Washington, D.C., Todd pursued acting at the Eugene O’Neill National Actors Theatre Institute and Trinity Rep Conservatory, where he honed his skills and developed his commanding style. Among his first screen roles was playing the heroin-addicted Sergeant Warren in Oliver Stone’s Best Picture Oscar-winning Vietnam War classic Platoon.

Todd went on to guest on such popular 1980s and ’90s series as 21 Jump Street, Night Court, MacGyver, Matlock, Jake and the Fatman, Law & Order, The X-Files, NYPD Blue, Beverly Hills 90210, Xena: Warrior Princesss and Murder,...

Fire Country has found immense success on Friday nights for CBS.

The firefighting drama stars Max Thieriot from Seal Team (Clay Spenser) and Bates Motel (Dylan Massett). He plays Bode Donovan (Leone).

The network has had lots of success with its NCIS Universe and the trio of FBI shows, so CBS wants to see if a Fire Country spin-off will work.

An upcoming episode of Fire Country is called Alert the Sheriff, and it is a planned backdoor pilot.

If CBS is happy with fan response and how the new characters work within the world of Fire Country, that episode will springboard into a new show called Sheriff Country.

This is called a backdoor pilot, where the characters from a planned show appear first on the primary show. Main characters for NCIS: Los Angeles appeared in a two-episode arc of NCIS, while Chicago P.D. characters first appeared on Chicago Fire for NBC.

While some television shows arrive at the perfect time, others are destined to be forgotten because they aired a little too early for mainstream appreciation. In recent decades, many underrated television shows have been reappraised by critics and viewers alike. While Arrested Development and Firefly were critical darlings through their original runs, both shows barely made any impact on the cultural zeitgeist. However, in the years since they ended, cult hits like these two shows received their flowers as showrunners, writers, and reviewers praised their prescient work. In Arrested Development's case, this even left to a Netflix revival.

As such, it is tough to call these shows “underappreciated.” While they may have been missed by audiences upon their initial release, Firefly’s impact and Arrested Development’s influence on the sitcom genre are both pretty considerable a few decades later. Underappreciated is a more accurate term for shows that...

Beginning June 2, With Love season 2 will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video. Season 1 focused on fleshing out the relationship between Jorge and his boyfriend, Henry, who have been dating the longest of the couples in the series. Given that a ring was at play in the finale, it would come as no surprise if the two finally decided to take the next step. However, with Lily and Santiago and Sol and Miles also leaving off on a high note, fans will have to wait for season 2 to see which of the characters is planning to propose.

Mark Indelicato plays the role of Jorge Diaz Jr. and has been featured in shows such as Ugly Betty, Dead of Summer, and Hacks. Meanwhile, Henry is portrayed by Vincent Rodriguez III, who is most well-known for his role as Josh Chan in The CW's musical dramedy, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Emeraude Toubia, Rome Flynn,...

Elizabeth Lail is the latest actor to join the cast of the video game adaptation Five Nights at Freddy’s, Deadline reports. Lail has been added to a cast that includes the previously announced Matthew Lillard (Scream), Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Game), Mary Stuart Masterson (Benny & Joon), and Kat Conner Sterling (A Week Away). Details on the character she’ll be playing haven’t been revealed, but that’s to be expected. No details have been revealed about the characters any of the cast members will be playing.

We can expect one of the characters to be a “troubled security guard”, because Five Nights at Freddy’s follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through. The Five Nights at Freddy’s...

Actor Elizabeth Lail is the latest to join the growing cast of Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s, Deadline reports today.

Production is currently underway in New Orleans, with Emma Tammi (The Wind) at the helm of the video game adaptation.

Lail is no stranger to horror and is best known for her performance as Beck in season one of Netflix’s popular series “You,” as well as lead turns in the 2019 horror film Countdown and horror series “Dead of Summer.” She joins previously announced stars Josh Hutcherson (Tragedy Girls, Detention), Matthew Lillard (Thir13en Ghosts, Scream), Kat Conner Sterling (“The Gifted”), and Mary Stuart Masterson (Skin).

While character details remain under wraps, we can at least celebrate that Jim Henson’s Creature Shop has been hard at work on the monstrous animatronics!

Tammi, Scott Cawthon, and Seth Cuddeback wrote the screenplay for Five Nights at Freddy’s. Blumhouse is producing the...

One of those slide shows leads to her being hired by Alyssa Bradford to shoot a biography of her father, Campbell Bradford.

Once there she quickly realizes this isn’t going to be as easy as it seems when Anne McKinney the self-appointed local historian...

Elizabeth Mitchell is reuniting with Tim Allen.

Deadline is reporting that Mitchell has officially signed up to star in the forthcoming Disney+ sequel series of The Santa Clause.

"Scott Calvin is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realizing that he can’t be Santa forever," reads the logline.

"He’s starting to lose a step in his Santa duties, and more importantly, he’s got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially his two kids who have grown up at the Pole."

"With a lot of elves, children, and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa while preparing his family for a new adventure in a life south of the pole."

Amazon is making sure the holidays are filled with cheer on December 17 thanks to With Love, a new series that follows the Diaz family's trials and tribulations through various celebrations. Created by Gloria Calderón Kellett, who gifted us with the Netflix-turned-Pop gem One Day At A Time and also playing Gladys in With Love, the show begins on Nochebuena (Christmas Eve) with the Diaz siblings preparing very different romantic revelations for their parents.

Lily has just broken up with her perfect boyfriend while Jorge Jr. is nervous about introducing his new one, and their cousin Sol is flirting with the possibility of dating their coworker Dr. Murphy. But whatever path romance takes for each family member, no one thinks it can measure up to what the heads of household (played by Constance Marie and Benito Martinez) have.

Exclusive: LeToya Luckett, Omar Dorsey, Krystal Joy Brown and Paulina Singer are set to join Starz/Lionsgate’s Power prequel series, Power Book III: Raising Kanan in recurring roles.

From creator and showrunner Sascha Penn, Power Book III: Raising Kanan takes viewers back to the ’90s and the early years of the now-deceased Kanan Stark, portrayed in Courtney Kemp’s original series by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.

Luckett will play Kenya, Jukebox’s mother and Marvin’s ex. She left their family when Jukebox was very young, tried to make it in LA as a singer, but three years ago, she moved back to New York. Upon her return, she settles in Harlem where church is a big part of her life.

Dorsey will portray Cartier “Duns” Fareed, who is handsome, charismatic, overflowing with confidence, and always dressed to kill.

Whoa, baby! American Horror Stories delivered its most devilish installment yet with Episode 5, an unsettling hour loaded with demonic scares, table-turning surprises and, of course, plenty of NCIS references.

The episode centers around Liv (Billie Lourd) and Matt (Ronen Rubinstein), a married couple desperate to have a baby. Well, she’s desperate for one. He’s just supporting her dream of motherhood dream because she has always supported his barely-there acting career, which mostly consists of glorified extra work on shows like NCIS. (Side note: I think we can all agree that NCIS is real villain of this episode.)
