Robyn McCall will continue righting wrongs for another season.
CBS has ordered a fifth season of The Equalizer, its drama series starring Queen Latifah (who also executive produces) as McCall, a former CIA operative turned freelance problem solver for people who have nowhere else to turn. The show is a reimagining of the 1985-89 series of the same name and not connected to the Denzel Washington-led film franchise that’s also inspired by the original series.
With the renewal, The Equalizer will pass the original series in the number of seasons it has aired (though not yet in episode count — the 1980s series ran for 88 episodes, and the current show will end this season with 56).
With the pickup of The Equalizer, CBS has only one scripted series — NCIS: Hawai’i — awaiting word on its future. The network plans to announce its 2023-24 schedule on May 2.

Dan Rather is returning to CBS News.
Nearly 20 years after stepping down as the anchor of the CBS Evening News, and 18 years after he last appeared on the network, the anchor will return to a CBS program. This time, he will be the subject of an interview on CBS Sunday Morning.
Per a release from CBS, “Lee Cowan talks with former CBS News anchor Dan Rather about his work at CBS and his life in news.”
A source confirms that it will be Rather’s first appearance on a CBS News program since he formally left the network under tumultuous circumstances nearly two decades ago.
Rather said that he was the scapegoat in a scandal over a 2004 report for 60 Minutes II on then-President George W. Bush’s military record, and the anchor subsequently sued the network for breach of contract. The 60 Minutes spin-off was canceled less than a year later.

The Brenner brothers are blessing us with another movie! The Three Wise Men and a Baby sequel we’ve all been waiting for is headed our way this holiday season. Three Wiser Men and a Boy will premiere later this year as part of Hallmark Channel‘s 15th annual Countdown to Christmas programming event. Paul Campbell, Tyler Hynes, and Andrew Walker will reunite onscreen once again as the Brenner brothers. Margaret Colin returns as the Brenner matriarch. The sequel is currently in production. Three Wiser Men and a Boy picks up five years later with the Brenner brothers preparing for another memorable Christmas. In a crazy turn of events, possibly brought on accidentally by the brothers themselves, the director of Luke’s (Walker) son Thomas’ (Miles Marthaller) school holiday musical steps down. Luke is desperate to make his son’s stage dreams come true, so he enlists the help of...

When Ncuti Gatwa makes his first appearance as the 15th Doctor in the science-fiction series “Doctor Who,” he isn’t wearing any pants.
In a 60th-anniversary special released in December, the previous Doctor — played by series icon David Tennant — subverts the show’s long-standing practice of regeneration: Instead of simply transforming into the next Doctor, he literally splits in half, bringing Gatwa’s Doctor into the world alongside him. In the process, the two divide the clothes of Tennant’s Doctor between them, leaving Gatwa in nothing but a dress shirt and a pair of tighty-whities.
“Oh, my God, that first costume fitting!

[Editor’s Note: this list was originally published in March 2018. It has since been updated with new entries.]
It’s easy to think of the kind of stories that get told in the comic book world as just one genre or tone, but as seen below, graphic novels, comic strips, and other sequential art have offered up an incredible range of storytelling. And these stories have been inspiring great TV shows for years, even before superhero stories dominated the box office.
There were plenty of options that nearly made the list, like the WB’s “Smallville,” which squandered its early potential after running just a few seasons too long. Because one of the most exciting things about these stories is that there’s a rich variety to choose from.
With editorial contributions from Liz Shannon Miller, Ben Travers, and Hanh Nguyen.

Rather than go to Wagner (Wendell Pierce), however, Kaya tells Elsbeth he asked her to find out why she’s looking into him. Elsbeth tells her that the DOJ believes Wagner’s taking kickbacks for blocking investigations. While Kaya’s worked under him since the academy and he’s been nothing but kind and upstanding, she admits that she no longer knows which side she’s supposed to be on. Elsbeth urges her to be on the side of the truth. But what they don’t know is Lieutenant Noonan (Fredric Lehne) takes an envelope for someone who wants...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Ghosts Season 3, Episode 9, “The Traveling Agent.”] Ghosts is breaking new ground in the latest installment, “The Traveling Agent,” as do-gooder troop leader spirit Pete (Richie Moriarty) discovers his special power is that he can travel beyond the ghost boundary on Woodstone’s property. While this power would thrill almost any spirit you could think of, Pete is initially reluctant to embrace the gift tied to his past as a travel agent who didn’t travel when he had the chance in life. After a bumpy outing with Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), Pete is further convinced that his power isn’t something he wants to explore further, but he’s convinced by his pals that he should embrace it. By the end of the episode, he was boarding a flight to St. Lucia where his daughter and grandson were vacationing. Below, Moriarty opens up about his initial reaction to Pete’s ghost power,...

What’s there left to fear after you’ve already died? For Richie Moriarty’s Pete Martino, the spiritual being of a 1980s travel agent and scout leader on the hit CBS comedy Ghosts, the possibilities are unimaginable.
As in, he can now actually stop dying and starting living. The nervous goody-two-shoes never really lived his own life because he was too busy making other people’s fantasies come alive (he even died by an arrow through the neck because he was helping a bunch of young scouts learn archery). Because the penultimate episode of the series’s third season, entitled “The Traveling Agent,” showed that Pete has a special power that none of the other ghosts who inhabit the show’s very haunted Woodstone Mansion seem to possess: the ability to leave the property.

John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight is now a three-time Peabody Award nominee, and the only late-night show to be recognized by the prestigious organization this year
Earlier today The Peabody Awards Board of Jurors announced this year’s 27 nominees in the Arts, Children’s/Youth, Entertainment, and Interactive & Immersive categories, and Last Week Tonight’s November 2023 episode “Israel-Hamas War” made the list.
The episode is described by the Peabodys as “clear-eyed,” and recognizes Oliver’s own statement from the show that “any conversation around [the war] has to begin with empathy.”
This won’t be the first go-round for Last Week Tonight at the Peabodys. The show is 2-for-2 in Peabody nominations and wins. It won its first in 2015, and again in 2018.
If a third win feels like a stretch, it’s worth keeping in mind that Oliver and team have also won every Emmy Award the show’s ever been nominated for–sixteen in all.

Jeopardy! is keeping things interesting with its latest match as one player’s wise betting strategy yielded money-making results in the April 25th game. Returning one-day champion Amy Hummel, an ER doctor from Milwaukee, Wisconsin faced off against West Hills, California attorney, Justin Brandt, and Potrales, New Mexico researcher and PhD student, Tyler Jarvis. Despite a valiant effort on all players’ parts, Justin and Tyler were no match for Amy’s betting strategy in the Final Jeopardy! round. Jeopardy!, Inc. Amy went into the round with a lead advantage, entering Final Jeopardy! with $18,800 against Tyler’s $8,600 and Justin’s $2,000, but when it came to the category, “Statues,” they all came up blank with their responses to the clue, “The 42-foot-high statue of Athena in this state capital is the tallest indoor statue in the United States.” The correct response was supposed to be, “What is Nashville?” All three players were wrong,...

The actor who plays Spencer Cassadine in the series is making his temporary absence permanent, according to TV Line after he stepped away from the role to film the second season of Ryan Murphy‘s Monster anthology series.

ABC/Christopher Willard The actor’s casting on the buzzy Netflix project was officially announced this January as he’s set to portray Lyle Menendez alongside Cooper Koch who is portraying Erik Menendez.

In recent years, doctors and scientists have studied the gut with renewed interest. Research has revealed that the digestive system is more than just a processing center for the food we eat, and that it has a much bigger effect on our overall health than previously thought. Issues as varied as stubborn weight gain and Parkinson’s disease can be linked to the gut, which means that understanding our digestive system — and, by extension, how it thrives or suffers based on what we eat — is crucial. In a new documentary, Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut, German scientist Giulia Enders partners with colleagues to explain how the gut works — and how to make it work for you.

It’s been almost eight years since Comedy Central’s The Daily Show last brought on a new correspondent, but it’s making up for lost time—by naming three.
Troy Iwata, Josh Johnson, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt are now officially full-fledged correspondents.
As regular viewers already know, all three have been familiar faces on The Daily Show for several months now.
Iwata and Kuhlenschmidt both first appeared on the show last October in in-studio “remote” pieces. Johnson first appeared on air in February with a pre-taped report on sneakerheads’ reactions to Donald Trump’s release of Trump-branded shoes, but has been a writer for the show since 2017.
Tds had not added a new face to its correspondent lineup since 2017, when Dulcé Sloan arrived.
The Daily Show’s current format sees Jon Stewart at the desk on Monday nights—at least through the election—while a roster of correspondents and contributors...

“Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”
That’s the opening line of Nobel Prize–winning author Gabriel García Márquez’s best-selling magical realist novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, and it’s echoed in the teaser above, a first look at the series adaptation coming to Netflix. The words are spoken by Colonel Aureliano Buendía (Claudio Cataño), who reads from the mythical diary of Melquiades (Moreno Borja). The clips that follow show breathtaking scenes as José Arcadio Buendía (Marco González) and Úrsula Iguarán’s (Susana Morales) search for happiness.
The story follows cousins José and Úrsula, who get married against their parents’ wishes and leave their village to embark on a long journey in search of a new home. Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their voyage culminates with the founding...

There’s something strange happening in the streets of Tokyo. People with superhuman strength and a lust for blood are attacking others left and right — and crime fighter Ryo Saeba is on the case. Ryo, a private eye and wannabe ladies man, just lost his friend and co-worker Hideyuki to one of these possessed assailants. Whatever’s causing these assaults — drugs? a virus? — Ryo’s determined to figure it out… no matter how many dangerous men he has to kick square in the face. That is, if he can tolerate his unofficial new parter Kaori, Hideyuki’s pesky sister.

Leanne Morgan, the comedian whose stand-up special I’m Every Woman brought the down-home, relatable laughs, will become a sitcom matriarch now that Netflix has ordered 16 episodes of an as-yet-untitled multicamera series, in which she’ll star and serve as co-creator and executive producer. The scripted comedy series is co-created by Morgan and prolific TV comedy writer and producer Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory), whose most recent project for Netflix is the Golden Globe–winning The Kominsky Method.
The as-yet untitled project will kick off with Leanne’s life taking an unexpected turn when her husband of 33 years leaves her for another woman. The rest of the logline covers topics that will sound familiar to fans of Morgan’s stand-up: “Starting over when you’re a grandmother and in menopause isn’t exactly what she had in mind, but with the help of her family she will navigate this new chapter with grace,...

The proposals have been accepted. The limos have been booked. But what to wear? Prom should be all about you and your friends making memories to last a lifetime. You’ll want to look back at those photos and see your sparkliest, most authentic self. Luckily, we have all the inspiration you need: Whether you want a classic look or you’re searching for something a little less traditional, whether you want to go trendy or retro, you can turn to your favorite Netflix character for inspiration. Read on to raid their closets.
There are plenty of exciting and colorful looks in Ryan Murphy’s musical The Prom. But this couple, with their pink, purple, and blue palette, deserves a shout-out for saving prom from the PTA in their small Indiana town, who would rather cancel the dance than let them go together.

Annie Potts strongly disagrees with CBS‘s decision to end Young Sheldon with Season 7. The Big Bang Theory prequel is set to air its series finale on Thursday, May 16. Leading up to the final episode, Potts is saying she’s “shocked” by the cancellation, calling it a “such a stupid business move.” The Designing Women alum plays Connie “Meemaw” Tucker, Sheldon’s (Iain Armitage) grandmother, in the hit family sitcom. She didn’t see the end coming. “I still don’t understand why they canceled it,” Potts told Variety. “It just seemed like such a stupid business move.” “This [cancellation] was especially hard because I was completely unprepared. I was shocked,” she continued. “I mean, the No. 1 show on network TV, No. 1 on Netflix. We’re, I think, all that people watch on TikTok besides a couple of recipes for pasta… If a show is starting to drag or lag or...

We are going to meet Russell Shaw this season, and the casting couldn’t be better. Jensen Ackles has been cast as the estranged brother of Justin Hartley‘s Colter Shaw on Tracker. Hartley shared the news himself with a fun video on Instagram featuring Ackles, and TV Insider has learned he will appear in the May 12 episode. In “Off the Books,” Colter is forced to team up with his estranged brother, Russell, who enlists his help to track down a former army buddy who’s gone missing after several weeks of paranoid behavior. The investigation takes the brothers into the world of Special Forces missions, shady off-the-books programs and conspiracy theories, all while they contend with their family’s past. Hartley starts the video by thanking everyone for watching and the response to the show. “We’ve been talking about Russell Shaw, my brother, all season this family drama...

Come on guys, “Avatar: The Last Airbender” wasn’t that bad.
According to a March 11, 2024 CableTV.com poll of 1,000 U.S. streaming users, nearly one in four (24 percent to be exact) believe Netflix has gotten worse over the past year. The silver lining is that Netflix is still the most favored streamer overall: a third (33 percent) of the respondents say they would still pick Netflix over any other service, and only 22 percent said they have a “negative opinion” of the streaming leader. In non-survey-land, Netflix just keeps on growing: by the end of March it had 270 million global paid subscribers.
On the flip side, only 3 percent of the survey’s participants would choose Apple TV+ for their first pick; 47 percent of Americans have a negative view of Apple’s SVOD service. Maybe they just really, really want “Severance” to come back already with its second season (but probably not). We surely do.

Within the first seven minutes, Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives tells you exactly what its greatest love story is going to be. Hanging onto the ledge outside the London offices of their supernatural detective agency, Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) are waiting out a visit from Death. Kirby reprises her casually cool and soothingly collected version of the reaper from Netflix’s other Neil Gaiman adaptation The Sandman. If Death catches them, it would mean being carted off to the afterlife and separated. For 30 years, the two eternal teenagers have walked just behind the veil of our world as an unbreakable pair and two pretty damn-good detectives. In a tragic sense of irony, they were each other’s first real friend –– they just didn’t meet until after they died. Edwin met his fate in 1916 after being sacrificed to a demon by the bullies of his...

Even though the warlord Toranaga’s (Hiroyuki Sanada) master plan to rule Japan is revealed by the end of “Shogun,” audiences who want to see more of how he shapes what will become the Edo Period aren’t alone. Co-creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo’s approach to the structure of the miniseries opened up a lot of doors that could be extremely tempting to walk through.
That’s because the “Shogun” writing team thought of each episode not as a set of steps towards a single climax punctuated by arbitrary cliffhangers. It was important to the “Shogun” team that every episode of the series stood on its own as a story that pushes its characters in some important way — not unlike a short story.
“I’m so drawn to the short story. There’s something about the art of the short story that feels difficult and worthy of the difficulty,...

SNL star Bowen Yang’s latest extracurricular will find him working alongside an Oscar nominee and an Oscar winner.
Variety reports that Yang will star in a remake of The Wedding Banquet, the 1993 Ang Lee-directed romcom.
Yang will share the screen with Lily Gladstone, who is fresh off a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Youh-jung Youn — who won an Oscar for her supporting role in 2021’s Minari — will also star, as will Kelly Marie Tran and Joan Chen.
The film will be directed and co-written by Andrew Ahn. Focus Features founder James Schamus, who co-wrote the original film with Lee, will again serve as co-writer. Yang previously worked with Ahn on the 2022 film Fire Island.

Alex Russell‘s Street may have left 20-Squad behind earlier this season on S.W.A.T. to transfer to Long Beach, but the actor was back on set for the April 26 episode—as its director! (You can check out a photo of him behind the scenes below.) Russell gets behind the camera—he’s not back onscreen—for an episode that sees 20-Squad scrambling to track down a cold-blooded sniper terrorizing Los Angeles, and TV Insider has an exclusive sneak peek featuring some intel on their target. “Patrol secured the hallway within minutes of the shooting. No one’s been in or out,” Tan (David Lim) reports before the squad bursts into the open space and clears the floor. But, as Hondo (Shemar Moore) notices and points out to Deacon (Jay Harrington), a hole has been cut out of the window. Bill Inoshita / CBS “This is where he fired from.

Buddy comedies don’t get much stranger or sillier than Knuckles, Paramount+‘s terrifically fun expansion of the Sonic the Hedgehog film universe. In the six-part event, world-traveling style icon and Happy Endings icon Adam Pally reprises his role as Wade Whipple from the films, along with Idris Elba, who returns as the voice of Sonic’s foe-turned-ally Knuckles. But since Elba’s alter-ego is all CGI, it was up to Pally—once again proving his prowess as a comic leading man—to unleash his inner action star for the series. “I was so happy to do it,” he admits of the stunt work required of his character, reflexively tossing in some self-deprecation, in the video above. “A man of my normal build and size doesn’t usually get to do wire work, and so it was really thrilling to get all the resources that you imagine the Marvel people get.

No one sets out to be an object of obsession.
On Netflix’s “Baby Reindeer” when Martha (Jessica Gunning) enters the pub where down-and-out comedian Donny Dunn (show creator and writer Richard Gadd) works, she is looking downcast, like she’s trying to disappear. One simple cup of tea opens her up. It’s an act of kindness (or pity), but that’s all it takes for Donny to become her new fixation. Her interest in him unfolds in a montage of colorful outfits, badly applied pink lipstick and lies. She sends him tens of thousands of emails, ranging from the randy (“myy curtains r waitinfro yu they r readyy”) to the ranting (“i just had an egg”). She follows him home and sits outside his window for hours, pretends to be a hot-shot lawyer with politicians’ names in her phone and to own a penthouse in Belsize Park. Martha...

When John Bradley met with David Benioff and D.B. Weiss about their new series “3 Body Problem,” the first thing they told the “Game of Thrones” actor is that they’d written a role in the sci-fi mind-bender for him. Quite literally. “They said, ‘It’s as close to yourself as any character you’ll ever play,’” Bradley says. “It’s kind of a daunting prospect. It’s a bit like you’re going to see yourself drawn by one of those caricature artists on the street. I’m going to find out what these highly perceptive, very bright people...

The mere mention of policing in the US can serve as a sort of Rorschach test of sorts: Are the cops a corrective force necessary to combat criminals? Or a hotbed of corruption whose unchecked authority poses a threat to disadvantaged communities? Power, an upcoming documentary by Academy Award–nominated director Yance Ford (Strong Island), addresses these tough questions with a careful consideration of how policing as we know it today came to be.
In Power, Ford examines the history of American policing in order to see what its future may hold. The links connecting the slave patrols created in the 1700s to track down enslaved persons, to the often violent police suppression of the Civil Rights movement, to more recent wrongful deaths, rhymes in ways that are difficult to ignore within a deeply entrenched framework of violent racial inequity. Yet at the same time, in many communities throughout the country,...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Shōgun Episode 10, “A Dream of a Dream.”] Anna Sawai‘s Mariko was the savior of Shōgun in more ways than one. In the pivotal, riveting, and ultimately heartbreaking Shōgun Episode 9, “Crimson Sky,” her actions in Osaka ended up becoming the climactic confrontation of the entire limited series. Mariko was lost in the final moments of “Crimson Sky,” but the Shōgun Episode 10 finale, “A Dream of a Dream,” revealed that Mariko took secret efforts to save her lover, Cosmo Jarvis‘ John Blackthorne. Blackthorne was apprehended by the Portuguese Christians, led by Father Martin Alvito (Tommy Bastow), in Osaka after the ambush that killed Mariko. Separated from Yabushige (Tadanobu Asano), Blackthorne was defenseless as Alvito and a band of soldiers walked him through the woods beyond Osaka castle. Blackthorne had just awoken from a days-long sleep triggered by the blast that killed Mariko; he missed her burial because of it. The ...

Beginning in her new role May 28, Ratner will be overseeing all Spe’s legal functions, compliance and labor relations, Spe music affairs, government/external affairs and corporate social responsibility teams. She will report directly to CEO Tony Vinciquerra.
The new hire is a backfilling of the chief legal role on the heels of Leah Weil exiting the post of general counsel after almost three decades with the company back in January.

They don’t call the scammer who fooled hundreds of entertainment gig workers out of their money, time, and dreams the “Hollywood Con Queen” for nothing. Filmmaker Chris Smith’s three-part docuseries starts streaming May 8 on Apple TV+ and aims to flesh out the staggering impact of an anonymous fraudster who preyed on hundreds of industry hopefuls from across the globe.

Pretending to be everyone from Amy Pascal to Deborah Snyder to Kathleen Kennedy, the mysterious female voice dangled the promise of life-changing career opportunities in Southeast Asia before exploiting the unlucky creatives who actually tried to take them.

Annie Potts is no stranger to series finales, having experienced several through the years. But there’s something different about the end of “Young Sheldon,” the “Big Bang Theory” prequel that concludes on May 16. “I still don’t understand why they canceled it,” she says. “It just seemed like such a stupid business move.”
Potts, who plays saucy Connie “MeeMaw” Tucker on “Young Sheldon,” says she remains puzzled by CBS’s decision to end the series — even though it’s still a strong ratings performer for the network.
Nonetheless, “Young Sheldon” did wrap production on its seventh and final season last week.

After well over a decade in the spotlight, Community star Gillian Jacobs surely must get tired of people mangling her first name, which is pronounced with a hard G — as in “gall.” Which is exactly what After Midnight’s closed captioning system, or the people behind it, exhibited when Jacobs introduced herself on Monday night’s show.
After a brief introduction from After Midnight host Taylor Tomlinson, Jacobs greeted the crowd with a quick primer on exactly how to pronounce her name: “Yes, I’m Gillian Jacobs,” she said. “That’s hard G, soft J, but the vibe is just right.”
It was an innocuous enough statement… unless you were reading the closed captions.
As first spotted by one eagle-eyed Redditor who was able to snap a quick pic, the vibe may have seemed a bit more salacious if you weren’t actually listening to Jacobs speak.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Girls on the Bus Season 1, Episode 8, “Life is a Highway.”] The Girls on the Bus has tackled a number of topical subjects over its run so far on Max, but none more frustrating than journalist Sadie’s (Melissa Benoist) quest to secure abortion pills in the episode, “Life is a Highway.” After discovering she’d become pregnant after a spontaneous hook-up with an on-again-off-again fling, Malcolm, a.k.a. Loafers (Brandon Scott), Sadie’s clock for an abortion began ticking as she opted to go with pills. The trouble with that? She is constantly traveling through different states where laws differ. Due to this metaphorical roadblock, Sadie was forced to cross state lines with the help of conservative reporter Kimberlyn (Christina Elmore) as she went to pick up the mailed pills in a P.O. Box. The only problem? She didn’t make it to the post office in time,...

We are living for Dead Boy Detectives. In Netflix‘s cheeky new dramedy, the supernatural duo created by Neil Gaiman and introduced in The Sandman graphic novels jumps from page to screen, thanks to the utterly lovely chemistry between stars George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri. And to prove that Dead men do tell tales, we asked the guys to explain what’s up with their best mates from the beyond. “My character’s called Edwin Payne, and in 1916, he died as the result of a demonic summoning ritual gone very, very wrong. And that sent him to Hell for 70 years,” offers relative newcomer Rexstrew. “He managed to escape and shortly after his escape, he went back to his old school, St. Hilorian’s, where he died and came across Charles, who was on the cusp of death. Edwin actually nursed him in his final few hours, and when Charles died,...
