New Michael J. Fox Show Lands a Series Commitment on NBC

Michael J. Fox is returning to NBC: 30 years after FAMILY TIES’ debut, NBC has landed the rights to Fox’s new comedy series and ordered a full 22 episode season before production has even begun on the pilot.

“To bring Michael J. Fox back to NBC is a supreme honor and we are thrilled that one of the great comedic television stars is coming home again,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman of NBC Entertainment, in a statement. “From the moment we met with Michael to hear his unique point of view about this new show, we were completely captivated and on board. He is utterly relatable, optimistic, and in a class by himself, and I have no doubt that the character he will create – and the vivid family characters surrounding him – will be both instantly recognizable and hilarious. Being in business with him is a supreme pleasure.”

Matt Davis on Going From THE VAMPIRE DIARIES To CULT

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES has had its share of tragedies over the years, but one of the more painful losses recently was the vamping and subsequent death of Matt Davis’ Alaric.

Recently, Davis sat down with reporters to talk about leaving TVD, moving to CULT, and what he’ll be doing on his new series…

Whoopi Goldberg Returns to GLEE

After playing a pivotal role in getting Rachel into New York Academy of Dramatic Arts — and surprisingly rejecting Kurt from the school — it seems NYADA dean Carmen Tibideaux isn’t quite done on GLEE: a rep for the show confirms that Whoopi Goldberg (Carmen) will recur on the Fox series this season. The Hollywood Reporter was first to break the news.

In addition, season 1 THE GLEE PROJECT contestants Samuel Larsen (who plays Joe) and Alex Newell (who plays Wade/Unique) will officially continue on with the series in a recurring capacity. (It was already announced that Damian McGinty won’t be back with the show.)

Have any theories about why Carmen might be sticking around on GLEE? Are you hoping Kurt gets to prove her wrong? Or that perhaps some of the New Directions kids might make an impression and be heading to NYADA when it’s their turn to graduate?

GLEE’s fourth season premieres on its new night and time on Thursday, September 12th at 9 PM on Fox.
