TV SHOW TRAILER

DEVELOPMENT NEWS

Spike TV has added another series to its development pile in the form of The Chairman that will be executive produced by actor Julian McMahon, who will also be its star should it go to series. The project is based on the Stephen Frey novel, telling the story of Christian Gillette, a charismatic Gulf War veteran who takes over a billion-dollar private equity fund after its founder’s mysterious death. As his new powers open secret doors, he realizes that the world of apparently gentrified Manhattan finance is closely tied to the brutal realm of war that still haunts him and that some of its most dangerous players are now his inherited enemies.

Q&A SECTION (with Tierney Bricker at E! Online)

Question: Please let us know about all things Stydia (that would be Stiles and Lydia on Teen Wolf)!! – amykinz13

Tierney: In Teen Wolf’s season four premiere on June 23, fans can expect to see Stiles and Lydia hit the club along with Scott, Malia and Kira. Oh, and you can expect to see two of the five people listed above engage in some seriously dirty dancing. Also? The last scene is maybe one of the series’ most shocking cliffhangers. Ever.

Question: Orphan Black is my everything right now. What can we expect from the finale?! – Laura

Tierney: Seat belts on, Clone Club! “It’s going to be quite a ride,” boss Graeme Manson teased, while his co-genius showrunner John Fawcett added, “It is jam-packed and it’s a thrill ride.” But will it end on a massive cliffhanger a la season one’s final moment? “It’s a little different, but hell yeah,” Manson assured. And yes, we can expect to see Paul factor into the final two episodes with Manson previewing, “Paul may be gone, but he is not forgotten, and he’s important.”

That’s it. Enjoy!
