Meanwhile, Constantine will center on John Constantine, an enigmatic and irreverent con man-turned-reluctant supernatural detective who is thrust into the role of defending us against dark forces from beyond.

Oh, and Ming-Na shared with us this teaser about an upcoming episode: As Melinda May, “I get to put on an interesting outfit. Let’s put it that way.”

Hey All,

We are back in business now with the news back to its normal insane level. I think I’m the only person who loves having too much news, right?!

Anyway, here are the news items for today:

TELEVISION

The CBS drama pilot Backstrom is actually getting a chance at being a series thanks to the 13-episode order made by the folks over at FOX. The series, from creator Hart Hanson (the guy behind Bones), is about Detective Everett Backstrom (to be played by Rainn Wilson of The Office fame), an offensive, irascible detective who tries and fails to change his self-destructive behavior. Throughout the series, Backstrom leads his team, the Serious Crimes Unit, as they navigate Portland’s most sensitive cases. (AJ Marechal at Variety)

Before the new season of Game of Thrones even happens, recurring actor Michiel Huisman (Nashville) is getting a promotion to series regular status. He will play Daario Naharis, the new love interest of Daenerys’ (Emilia Clarke). (Nellie Andreeva at Deadline)

DEVELOPMENT NEWS

Netflix has given the greenlight to a new sci-fi drama from Andy and Lana Wachowski (the siblings behind the Matrix franchise). The series is called Sense8 and each episode (in the 10-episode order) will focus on eight people scattered around the globe who are connected by a shared — violent — vision. (Michael Ausiello and Andy Patrick at TV Line)

Actress Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies) will star in the NBC drama pilot called Odyssey alongside actor Jake Robinson (The Carrie Diaries) in a story that centers on three families who are torn apart when a stranded female soldier, a disillusioned corporate attorney and a disrespected political activist are pulled into the same shocking international military conspiracy. Friel will play Sgt. Odelle Ballard, a fierce leader who left her husband and child at home and is the only woman in the squad. Robinson will play Harrison Wolcott, a member of a group of protesters against the G8 summit in New York. (Lesley Goldberg at The Hollywood Reporter)

Q&A SECTION (with Natalie Abrams at TV Guide and Michael Ausiello at TV Line)

Question: Are we going to meet Monroe’s son on Revolution soon? — Trina

Natalie: Yes, but first they need to save Miles’ life. Beware! The primitive course of treatment they employ will have you reaching for the barf bags. Once you recover, you’ll see Sebastian’s relentless pursuit of his son Connor (Mat Vairo), which will lead him south of the border. In a nifty reversal of fortune, Mexico is actually quite prosperous… for one person in particular. Let’s just say that the manzana doesn’t fall far from the arbol.

Question: Got any juicy Justified tidbits? — Martin

Natalie: Boyd is pretty lonely this season. Ava’s in jail and most of his former allies are gone. Couple that with the unexpected trickiness of running his new heroin empire, and you have a Boyd on the edge. “He’s just barely treading water,” Walton Goggins says. “He’s kind of a dog wagging his tail; he’s just chasing it around and around. It’s a very dangerous place for a person like Boyd to be.” That will become even truer when he learns that someone very close to him has betrayed him.

Question: Will we find out what happened to Barry Allen when Arrow returns? — Jonah

Natalie: Yes, and Oliver won’t be too happy about the repercussions of Barry’s accident, since they will draw Felicity out of Starling City when he needs her the most. Olicity fans, brace yourself for a devastating lovers’ quarrel. (Fine, I know they’re not lovers, but a girl can dream.)

Question: Any scoop on Pretty Little Liars? — Kelli

Natalie: Yes, and it’s straight from the mouth of the recently-revealed-to-be-alive Alison! “There are a few key things you see this season that really scar you,” Sasha Pieterse says. “It’s really disturbing the way the night of Ali’s disappearance went down.” Pieterse also teases that this season’s finale will also include “a very specific thing that happens that’s scary,” but it will be the perfect way to cap off the season. Too bad we have months to wait!

Question: I really want some scoop on Queen Mary’s lady-in-waiting Greer and kitchen boy Leith from Reign. —Vroni

Ausiello: Remember how Greer essentially said, “Aw, screw it” and decided to be with her lowborn hottie — Easy, right? Not so fast, says EP Brad Silberling. “She’s now going to still have to answer this challenge of, ‘Do I pick what is real love or do I essentially try to forward my family’s fortune?’ and that’s going to come into play with some interesting consequences, midway through the back half [of the season].” And those consequences just may involve another possible suitor, he adds. “You’ll see the two of them — and a potential triangle — begin to play out.”

Question: Is there anything that you can tease about upcoming episodes of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that may have some comic-book feeling to it? —Andy B.

Ausiello: Well, short of setting foot at the Avengers Academy, the ABC drama next week will pay its first visit to S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy (which, of course, we first told you about back in November). Describing the training facility, Clark Gregg told Matt Mitovich, “It’s almost as magical as Tahiti, like Hogwarts for young S.H.I.E.L.D. padawan.” Wait, did he just magnificently merge three geek universes?

Question: Under the Dome Season 2 scoop? —Jim

Ausiello: This may strike you as odd, but the population of Chester’s Mill is about to spike. Season 2 will introduce three new characters, including Sam, a rugged gent better known to the locals as “the crazy drunk who lives alone in the woods” — and who harbors a family tie to a familiar face; Rebecca, a teacher in her 30s whom Big Jim beseeches to start back up the school, though not with the noblest of agendas; and, most curiously, a “new girl” in town (?!) who takes an avid interest in both Joe and Norrie.

That’s it. Enjoy!

Hey All,

The entertainment industry is just making its way back from its holiday break and the news is a bit piecemeal right now, but here are the few items of note for today:

TELEVISION

Comic book God Stan Lee will make a guest appearance in an upcoming episode (possibly the February 4 episode) of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but no details have been revealed as to what role he will play.

That’s it. Enjoy!

After several weeks of holidays, I am happy to say the daily entertainment updates are back and here are the news items for today:

BOX OFFICE NEWS

Here are the top 10 box office movies from this past weekend courtesy of Box Office Mojo:

1. Frozen – $20.7 million (NOTE: It has been 6 weeks since this movie opened and it is back at number 1 – that’s quite impressive!)
2. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones – $18.2 million
3. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug – $16.3 million
4. The Wolf of Wall Street – $13.4 million
5. American Hustle – $13.2 million
6. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues – $11.1 million
7. Saving Mr. Banks – $9.1 million
8. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty – $8.2 million
9. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – $7.4 million
10. Grudge Match – $5.4 million

Q&A SECTION (with Matt Mitovich at TV Line)

Question: Arrow fans know nothing about Felicity. She has no backstory or anything! Please tell me we will learn more about her soon? –Corinne

Mitovich: “Soon” might be pushing it, if only because Arrow has much on its plate right now, as its rogues gallery ever expands. “We have known for a long time what Felicity’s background is, where she came from and who her parents are,” showrunner Andrew Kreisberg told me. “But it could be such a big story that it’s something that we might hold off on. In a rare display of, ‘Oh, that might be too much,’ we might have to wait on that.”

Question: Whatever happened to Rizzoli & Isles? Ever since one of their castmates committed suicide, it seems, there were no more new episodes after that? Did the show got cancelled, or is it just off season? If so, when does new season start? –Nett

Mitovich: R&I went on a pre-planned fall hiatus shortly after Young’s tragic passing. Season 4 resumes on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 9/8c, with the last of Young’s appearances as Detective Barry Frost.

Question: Anything good to share regarding Stef and Lena from ABC Family’s The Fosters (returning Jan. 13)? I know they’re dealing with the Callie crisis when the show returns, but I’m more interested in them as a couple and individuals. –Jennifer

Mitovich: I am told that newlyweds Stef and Lena will have only a short bit of post-marital bliss before they discover that Callie has run away. This season, the couple will have to deal with Stef returning to work post-shooting, a family tragedy, and Lena will surprise Stef – and herself – with some new feelings that arise. How will the two navigate all this chaos and change as a married couple?

Question: Root has been going on about how “something big is coming” in basically every episode of Person of Interest this season. Is it to do with the double machines and Control, or is it something else entirely? –Bradley

Mitovich: EP Greg Plageman hinted at the “big” threat in our Winter Preview special. And when I ran the question by Michael Emerson, he claimed to be unsure of Root’s meaning, “but that line from her made my hair stand on end, because she clearly knows things that we don’t know,” the actor said. “She’s a confidante in the Machine in a way that no one else is, so I’m sure Mr Finch lays awake at night wondering what the heck she meant.” Might Team Machine see some value in what Root has to offer, as they brave this greater fight? “Mr. Finch is warming to her, a bit,” Emerson allowed. “She’s proven certain things, and it’s not all bad. But it’s all crazy.’

Question: Got any scoop on Justified? –Jen

Mitovich: Amy Smart’s social worker character is no stranger to hunky lawmen, so she makes it crystal clear, soon after meeting Raylan, that they are not going to end up in bed together. Which, dollars to donuts, means they are going to end up in bed together. I’ll also say that Dewey Crowe fans (and I know there are many) are in for a treat – he seems to have a fun (meaning comically woeful) storyline ahead.

Question: On Beauty and the Beast, to what extent (if any) will Gabe’s feelings for Catherine bother Vincent? –Mac

Mitovich: From what I have seen thus far, Vincent hasn’t picked up on his potential rival’s scent, yet – being busy fighting to stay alive and all. But given how the winter premiere ends for Cat and Gabe, it’s probably just a matter of time.

That’s it. Enjoy!

Hey All,

Here are the news items for today, few though they are:

DEVELOPMENT NEWS

Actor Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Low Winter Sun and Castle) will co-star alongside Ed Burns in the TNT pilot called Public Morals that will be set in 1967 in New York City’s Public Morals Division, where cops walk the line between morality and criminality as the temptations that come from dealing with all kinds of vice can get the better of them. The pilot will center on cop Terry Muldoon (Burns), who knows the line between the good guys and bad guys is thin, and he is determined to raise his sons to be honest and hardworking as he deals with the dark underbelly of the vice world. Santiago-Hudson will play Lt. King, a womanizing badass, beloved and revered by the department, who has just as much drama outside of the workplace as there is inside the workplace. (Nellie Andreeva at Deadline)

Q&A SECTION (with Matt Mitovich at TV Line and TV Scoop Team at E! Online)

Question: The Arrow midseason finale was epic!! Any scoop on what’s to come in later episodes? –Jennifer

Mitovich: Given all that has transpired since she last visited – e.g. Sara’s super-secret “resurrection,” Laurel’s downward spiral – Alex Kingston’s encore as Dinah Lance promises to be a doozy. “Episode 14 is probably the most Brothers & Sisters episode we’ve done,” showrunner Andrew Kreisberg says, with a nod to fellow EP Greg Berlanti’s ABC drama. “Everyone in the Lance family has big secrets and it’s all going to get blown wide open, but in a good way.”

Question: I’m really digging Jared Padalecki’s dual portrayal of Sam and Ezekiel on this season of Supernatural, but I’m a bit bummed that we only got one episode of Tahmoh Penikett as the angel. Any hope of him returning to the role once Zeke is inevitably kicked out of Sam’s body? –Grace

Mitovich: Executive producer Jeremy Carver hints that “we might” see the BSG alum portray Gadreel at some point. “There are lots of different ways, shapes and forms people can appear on the show. Past, present…,” he notes. “People shouldn’t rush to any one conclusion. Just know there are a lot of different ways he could appear.”

Question: I need an update on The Blacklist’s Ressler ASAP. He was not looking too good! – Lexi

TV Scoop Team: Oh, you mean after getting shot in the leg and almost dying before being fixed up by Red? Yeah, that’s pretty much the definition of “not looking too good,” so we’re happy to report Ressler will fully be back in action when the series returns. And he’ll have a new accessory with him: a cane. But it won’t prevent him from chasing down perps, getting shot at, trading quips with Liz, etc.

Question: In desperate need of Once Upon a Time scoop, especially anything on the spin they’ll be putting on The Wizard of Oz! – George

TV Scoop Team: Pack your bags ’cause we’re hitting the yellow brick road. Sources tell us the show is actually going to Oz. Producers are in the process of figuring out what they can and can’t use, based on what comes from the books, the movie or the Broadway musical. Most of what we see will be taken from the books, like the flying monkeys!

Question: I heard that the winter premiere of Pretty Little Liars is really good! Are we going to get any Ezria scenes? – Lyndsey

TV Scoop Team: Brace yourselves, Ezria fans, because you’re about to get smacked in the face with a whole lot of emotions: Rage. Curiosity. Denial. Excitement. You may even swoon once or twice. Ian Harding has perfectly mastered Ezra’s new hot/creepy vibe and there’s no denying that Aria is totally picking up the crazy that he’s putting down.

That’s it. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend!!
