After getting badly injured during battle, Keynes is carried to a farmhouse, where he is cared for by Emma (Annie Wersching) and Carol (Susanna Thompson), who want to save his life. Though he seems helpless at first, Keynes is much more formidable than he initially appears.

The Breakfast Club meets X-Men with a splash of Stranger Things thrown in, Marvel’s Runaways is the richest, best-realized Marvel drama of the new TV season.

Premiering Tuesday, Nov. 21 (with the first three of 10 episodes) and based on the comic books by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, Runaways follows a pack of once-inseparable teens — Alex Wilder, Nico Minoru, Karolina Dean, Chase Stein, Gert Yorkes and her sister Molly Hernandez — one year after the death of Nico’s sister Amy. In the immediate wake of that loss (and in part fueled by mysterious funeral-day happenings), the “BFFs” abandoned that...

“Every teenager thinks their parents are evil. What if you found out they actually were?”

That is among the questions at the fore of Hulu’s upcoming Marvel’s Runaways adaptation, and TVLine has a first look at the “Pride” Aka parents of the titular youths.

Here's the trailer for episode 4, which is entitled 'Fifteen'...

And here's a brief synopsis of the episode...

The parents try to find a solution to Pride’s problem, and the kids grapple with a new discovery that yields more questions than answers.

With the cameras currently rolling, the cast for David Green’s (Earth to Echo) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is slowly but surely coming together, with word from Deadline that Brittany Ishibashi (Emily Owens M.D., Political Animals) will be taking on the role of Karai, loyal member of the Foot Clan, and depending on what version of the story you’ve seen, is either the Shredder’s (played this time round by Brian Tee) successor or related to him in some way. Karai was actually seen briefly in the the original movie, played by Minae Noji, but a bulked up role the second time round may have called for a recasting. Ishibashi joins the original cast, including Will Arnett and Megan Fox, swell as other newcomers, including Stephen Amell as vigilante Casey Jones, Tyler Perry as Baxter Stockman, and Gary Anthony Williams as the warthog part of fan favourite duo Bebop and Rocksteady.

Much like grief, there are five stages of losing your husband to a gay man. And Netflix’s Grace and Frankie is about to delve into every one of them.

The young stars of ABC's fall hit How to Get Away with Murder have a job many would kill for, but star Jack Falahee tells Et that it's not always all that it's cracked up to be.

See, Falahee's character Conor Walsh has had the most sex scenes in the show thus far, and for a show that's made headlines for its salacious content, that's saying a lot.

"It's awkward," Falahee, 25, tells Et's Kevin Frazier. "It's 50 or 60 people in the crew watching you, so any time on any project that I've had to do a sex scene it's like, 'Wow, this is the worst.'"

Falahee is one part of a hot young cast that also includes 25-year-old Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter), 28-year-old Matt McGorry (Orange is the New Black), 29-year-old Aja Naomi King (Emily Owens M.D.) and 28-year-old Karla Souza (Instructions Not Included).

The CW has given full season orders to its two hit freshman series, The Flash and Jane the Virgin, it was announced today by Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW.

The Flash debuted as the most-watched series premiere ever on The CW, scoring 6.1 million viewers in Live + 3 Day Nielsen ratings, and was the network's highest-rated series premiere among adults 18-49 in more than five years, since The Vampire Diaries debuted in 2009.

The most critically acclaimed new series of the season, Jane the Virgin, bowed with The CW's most-watched and highest-rated show in its time period in two years.

Tim Goodman of the Hollywood Reporter said Jane was "by far the best network pilot -drama or comedy" this season.

Here's what The CW's Mark Pedowitz...

There's absolutely nothing plain about this Jane.

Look out, Genoa City; there's a new Adam Newman in town. CBS soap “The Young and the Restless” has cast “Smallville” alum Justin Hartley in the role of Newman, the network told TheWrap on Tuesday. Also read: ‘Young & the Restless’ Star Michael Muhney Fired for Allegedly Groping Co-Star Hartley is inheriting the role from Michael Muhney, who was ousted from the series earlier this year amid accusations that he had groped his co-star, Hunter King. In addition to playing Green Arrow on “Smallville” for six years, Hartley's TV credits include the CW drama “Emily Owens M.D.,” “Revenge” and “Mistresses.” Hartley is repped.

Passions alum and onetime Green Arrow Justin Hartley is returning to daytime TV, as The Young and the Restless‘ new Adam Newman.

Hartley thus succeeds Michael Muhney, who was abruptly let go from the role last December.

Assaying his return to soaps, Hartley told TV Guide Magazine (which broke the news of his casting), “I don’t care if the job is on daytime or primetime or the web. Hey, give me a good character and someone to listen and I’ll do my acting on a street corner.”

(Cbr) Actor J.R. Ramirez will play Ted Grant on "Arrow" season three. Although Comic-Con International 2014 officially wrapped over the weekend, the announcements are far from over. Deadline reports that actor J.R. Ramirez has been cast as Ted Grant -- better known as the boxing hero Wildcat -- in the upcoming third season of "Arrow." Executive producer Marc Guggenheim stated during the show's Comic-Con panel over the weekend that Wildcat would make an appearance in season three, but no casting information was divulged. According to Deadline, the "Arrow" version of the character is "a former boxer who now runs a gym for underprivileged youth" and will have a major role to play in Laurel Lance's arc over the course of the season. The DC Comics version of the character has traditionally been a member of the Justice Society of America and trainer for many of the Dcu's heroes, including Black Canary.

In a network that is jam-packed with vampires, witches, dark creatures, and brave superheroes, this fall The CW is gifting fans with an outrageous new twist: An endearing and funny new series with absolutely no supernatural elements. Gasp!

Jane the Virgin, which will join the CW's Monday night line-up on Oct. 13, is an adaptation of a hit Venezuelan telenovela starring Gina Rodriguez as Jane, a virgin who is accidentally artificially inseminated duing a routine gyno appointment. It's pretty much every twenty-something girl's wildest nightmare that we never realized could happen.

However, don’t let this wacky (and admittedly terrifying!) premise stop you from tuning in and missing out on all the small screen fun. At its heart, Jane the Virgin is a ridiculously charming show brought to you by co-creators Ben Silverman (Ugly Betty) and Jennie Snyder Urman (Emily Owens M.D.).

The CW has found its lead for its much-buzzed about pilot, “Jane the Virgin,” from “Emily Owens M.D.” executive producer Jennie Snyder Urman.

"The Flash" has found its mother. Michelle Harrison will play Nora, the mother of Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) in the "Arrow" spinoff, Deadline reports.

Harrison's role will most likely be seen only in flashback, as she has long since died by the time "Flash" begins. Supposedly murdered by her own husband, Nora was instead the victim of an unidentified killer with seemingly super-human abilities. One of Barry's later motivations in law enforcement and crime-fighting is finding the truth behind his mother's death.

With the Nora role listed as potentially recurring, it seems likely that there is more to the murder story than a simple case of wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time.

Introduced in two episodes of "Arrow" in December, "The Flash" has since become a high-profile pilot project for The CW. It will likely air in the fall of 2014 if picked up to series.

Historical dramas have become all the rage in the last few years, so when I heard the CW was taking a foray into the now popular genre in their new series, Reign, I was intrigued to say the least.

When Revenge concluded its second season, it left us with a thrilling cliffhanger: Victoria Grayson’s long-lost son Patrick turned up on her doorstep. Now, we never saw his face, but that was only because the actor who would portray him in Season 3 hadn’t been cast yet, but that’s all over now. Justin Harley (Smallville, Emily Owens M.D.) has snagged the pivotal role that will leave the Hamptons a real mess. As sure as it is that Patrick will shake things up for everyone, I’m more interested in the smaller picture of how Patrick will affect Victoria and the other Graysons.

According to E! Online, Harltey’s signed on for a multiple-episode arc, beginning with the Season 3 premiere. His sudden appearance on the Graysons’ doorstep shocked Victoria so much she dropped and shattered the glass she was holding. Why would that be? Well, for starters, Victoria had...

"Revenge" has made a big casting decision for Season 3. Justin Hartley will play Patrick, the long-lost son that Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) gave up for adoption as a teenager. Hartley will make his first appearance in the Season 3 premiere.

According to a report from E!Online, Hartley will appear as Patrick in multiple episodes of the upcoming season. His arrival should offset the abrupt losses of former regulars Ashley Madekwe (whose absence will presumably be explained at some point) and Connor Paolo (whose character, Declan, died).

In case you don't remember the saga of Patrick, he was the son Victoria gave up when she had a shot at art school in Paris. Since she was an essentially homeless teenager at the time, Victoria couldn't exactly take the baby with her. There were hints that Patrick had already found Victoria in the past but had been paid millions to stay away.

Big news, "Revenge" fans: Victoria Grayson's (Madeleine Stowe) firstborn son has been revealed!

E! News was the first to report that Justin Hartley -- who recently played medical intern Will Collins on The CW's departed "Emily Owens M.D." and who was Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on "Smallville" before Stephen Amell gave the character new life -- has been cast as Patrick, the long lost son that 16-year-old Victoria gave to a nun when he was only 6 months old so that she could attend art school in Paris.

An ABC spokesperson has confirmed Hartley's casting to The Huffington Post.

Patrick was technically introduced in "Revenge's" Season 2 finale in May when Victoria opened her front door and dropped her glass of red wine at the sight of Patrick (whose back was turned to the camera). "Revenge" fans, who previously only heard his voice say "Hello, Mother," will get to see him...

Everyone’s been wondering who would be the face of Victoria’s long lost son. ‘Revenge’ fans, your answer is here — and yes, he is super hot.

Season three of Revenge is going to rock Victoria’s (Madeleine Stowe) world. Ever since the jaw-dropping finale, we’ve all be dying to know who would play her long-lost son, Patrick Harper, and it looks like CW hunk Justin Hartley is heading to the Hamptons in the fall!

The former Emily Owens M.D. star was cast in the coveted role of Victoria’s estranged son. He’ll first be seen on the season premiere, and will have a multi-episode arc, according to E! Online.

The news was first reported by E! Online.

Victoria finally came face-to-face with her estranged spawn in the closing minutes of May’s finale, although viewers only heard his voice (via a cheesy temp off screen voice).

Revenge fans don't know much about Patrick, but we do know Vicki gave birth to him at 16 and then gave him away to a nun when he was only six months old so that she could attend art school in Paris.

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fifth and final one announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on The CW.

After targeting teen girls for so long, The CW has widened their demographic focus and in the process have improved their fortunes with three of their five new shows from last year returning. One in particular, "Arrow," has been a big hit for them. As a result this year's line-up sticks heavily with genre fare - sci-fi, supernatural, and even a period piece.

With the five major American TV network upfront presentations set to take place next week, each of them has been locking down their schedules for the new season.

If you don't count 90210, already ending at the end of the season, then the weakest non-Friday show on The CW's roster is, unfortunately, The Carrie Diaries. For all the crticism people toss at Beauty and the Beast while praising Carrie and her campy friends, Beast...

Happy Friday!

Let's start with the best news. Meryl Streep's daughter Mamie Gummer is following in mom's footsteps by playing a lesbian, and I can't fucking wait. Emily Owens M.D. didn't get picked up for a second season, but that is only Ok because now Mamie will be on CBS' drama Backstrom playing "the female lead Nicole Graveley, a watchful, competent police detective who is a lesbian saddened over her breakup with her longtime partner." Her co-star is Rainn Wilson, who will play "Everett Backstrom, an overweight, offensive, irascible detective, as he tries, and fails, to change his self-destructive behavior." Sounds great already!

Oh Canada! The country has a network called Slice that is home to a show called Golden Gays, about older LGBTs living in Palm Springs. According to the HuffPo, there are "lipstick lesbians, butches, drag queens, authors,...

ABC has cast "Kings" star Chris Egan in its modern horror pilot "Gothica," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Egan will play the iconic Dorian Gray, the literary creation of Oscar Wilde who was the focus of the 1890 novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray."

"Gothica" is being described as "a sexy, gothic soap set in the present day that weaves together a mythology that incorporates the legends of Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein and Dorian Gray, among others." Egan's character is described as "a beautifully charming and devastatingly sexy man with a smile like a switchblade. He's an enigmatic playboy who develops a relationship with Grace Van Helsing and attempts to help her figure out who killed her family."

The high-concept ABC pilot has also cast British "Eastenders" star Tom Ellis as Victor Frankenstein, "a brilliant doctor who's trying to find a way to bring his late daughter, Anna, back to life.

Former pop star Mandy Moore has signed on as one of Pulling‘s pushy broads, our sister site Deadline reports.

Moore will play man-hungry Louise, one of the ABC single-camera comedy’s three dysfunctional women in their 30s living their lives the way they want, even if society tells them they should have it all figured out by this point.

Louise is described as optimistic and desperate to land a hubby, but all of her scheming generally doesn’t work out the way she plans.

The project, based on a successful British sitcom of the same name, is exec-produced by...

Retooled and returning last night for its third season, ABC’s Body Of Proof (1.2/3) did not offer strong ratings evidence Tuesday. The drama was down a cratering 45% from its Season 2 premiere on September 20, 2011 and tied a series low. It was also down 37% from its Season 2 finale in April. Meanwhile, in another debut, The CW’s Cult (0.3/1) premiered at 9 Pm. Opening weak, the new midseason suspense drama attracted about 940,000 viewers and was down from the 1.4/1 who watched the finale of Emily Owens M.D. in the same slot February 5. The second episode of the second season of NBC’s Smash (0.9/2) stumbled again last night, down 25% from its season premiere to a new series low. The Season 2 premiere of the musical drama February 5 was the show’s previous low.

The CW's series roster this year is looking grim--and while that's hard to lament due to the fact that nearly every network has had massive freshman failures (we're especially looking at you, NBC) a sinking veteran in 90210 only adds to the woes of highly pushed series like The Carrie Diaries and Emily Owens M.D. failing to launch. The relatively massive success of Arrow, now the most popular show on the network in pure viewership (while The Vampire Diaries is still number one in the crucial 18-49 demo) can only count for so much: The CW still needs a hit show, and it needs one pretty badly.

So Cult is the network's last chance of the year to concoct a hit, and boy, have they pulled this one out: starring Vampire Diaries alum Matt Davis, the dark thriller Cult is about a TV show named Cult, which airs on The CW,...

Tuesday’s primetime saw another season high for CBS’ NCIS (3.8/11). With its second-largest viewership ever, the police procedural pulled in 22.34 million viewers last night. That tops last week’s season-high of 21.1 million for the long-running series, though it falls short of the record 22.87 million who watched on February 1, 2011. NCIS also saw its best rating in the adults 18-49 demo since its Season 10 premiere on September 25, growing 9% from last week’s show. NCIS: La (2.7/7), meanwhile, was down from last week’s season high; its 17.48 million viewers marked the series’ second-highest viewership of its season. It also was down 10% week-over-week in the demo. At 10 Pm, Vegas (1.6/4) drew 11.05 million viewers, topping the time slot. For the night, CBS won in total viewers (16.957 million) and the demo.
