THE 100: The Cast (Vaguely) Teases What Comes Next

THE 100 is back from its winter hiatus tonight, and it’s sure to be a doozy of a ride: when the show left off, Clarke had killed Finn in front of everyone. (Finn turned himself over to the Grounders so they could settle the score over him ambushing one of their camps, but since they intended to torture him to death, Clarke took matters into her own hands.)

BACKSTROM: Rainn Wilson Previews His New Fox Drama

If you are an aspiring TV writer, can I recommend first writing a novel, getting it published, and then sending it to Hart Hanson and his team with the hope he will adapt it to a TV show? This Thursday, January 22nd, marks the premiere of BACKSTROM, Hanson’s third “pulled from the bookshelves” series for Fox. The BONES and THE FINDER creator has developed a new show that pulls together a ragtag group of people setting out to make the world a little bit better — primarily by catching murderers.

Fox describes the show’s main and titular character, Everett Backstrom, as “an unhealthy, offensive, irascible — albeit brilliant — detective” played by Rainn Wilson. BACKSTROM’s 13 episode order has been filmed, and Fox sent the pilot and three additional episodes to the press. Additionally, Wilson recently participated in a conference call with several press outlets. Read on to find out what Wilson thinks are Backstrom’s best and worst qualities, how the show fits in the current landscape of society, and the difference between shooting a 60 minute procedural and a 30 minute sitcom…

CHICAGO P.D. Exclusive First Look: Halstead and Atwater Chase Down a Suspect

As a general rule, there are a few things you probably shouldn’t do if you’re committing a crime (or might be a accused of committing a crime): build a Wall of Crazy and/or run from any people who work in law enforcement.

Unfortunately, as you can see in this exclusive clip from tonight’s episode of CHICAGO P.D., “Disco Bob,” Halstead and Atwater encounter a, um, not-so-bright suspect in the course of their investigation into the death of a mother and daughter, and they have to track the guy down…

SLEEPY HOLLOW: Orlando Jones Teases an Upcoming (Real) Death, Surprises, and More

SLEEPY HOLLOW may have killed off Orlando Jones’ Irving in the midseason finale, but death has (so far) been a mere bump in the road for characters on the Fox drama: at the end of the midseason premiere, Irving reappeared.

When Jones found out about Irving’s death, “I wasn’t so much concerned for me,” he admitted. “I’m a fan [of the show]. I was concerned for how it would be received [by the audience], because there are so many characters [to accommodate].”

FX has set a premiere date for the new Billy Crystal and Josh Gad series, THE COMEDIANS — April 9th at 10 PM. It’ll be joined by LOUIE, which will air at 10:30 PM.

Here’s FX’s release on the premiere…

“FX has set the premiere date of April 9^th for the series premiere of the new comedy series The Comedians starring Billy Crystal and Josh Gad and the fifth season of the Emmy^® Award winning comedy series Louie. The Comedians will air at 10:00 PM ET/PT, followed by Louie at 10:30 PM ET/PT.

The debut season of The Comedians will feature 13 episodes of the new series starring Billy Crystal and Josh Gad. In The Comedians, Billy Crystal plays a comedy legend who is reluctantly paired with Josh Gad, an edgier up-and-coming star, in an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at a fictional late night sketch comedy show where egos and generations collide.  Stephnie Weir stars as “Kristen Laybourne,” the anxiety-ridden producer behind The Billy & Josh Show who frequently finds herself caught in the middle of Billy and Josh’s arguments, Matt Oberg stars as “Mitch Reed,” the show’s head writer, and Megan Ferguson stars “Esme McCauley,” a no-nonsense production assistant.

Larry Charles (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld), Matt Nix (Burn Notice), and Ben Wexler (Community, Arrested Development) are Writers and Executive Producers of The Comedians, along with Crystal. Charles directed the pilot. Josh Gad is serving as Co-Executive Producer. The half-hour, single-camera comedy is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions.

The fifth season of Louie will feature seven or eight episodes from Creator/Executive Producer/Writer/Star/Director/Editor Louis C.K. Season Four of Louie was nominated for a Golden Globe^® Award is currently nominated for a PGA Award, WGA Award, SAG Award and a DGA Award. Louie has won three Emmy Awards – Louis C.K. for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series (2012 and 2014), and Melissa Leo for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series (2013). The series has also won AFI Awards (2012 and 2013) and a Peabody Award (2013), as well as Television Critics Association Awards in each of the past three years.

Louie is a comedy filtered through the observational humor of Louis C.K. Each episode puts a spotlight on Louis’ hectic life as a successful stand-up comedian and newly single father raising his two daughters.  The single-camera comedy is a mix of Louis C.K.’s stand-up comedy and scripted stories.  Louis C.K., M. Blair Breard and Dave Becky are Executive Producers. The series is produced by FX Productions. ”

Fox Boss Gary Newman on a Potential X-FILES Revival

Fox Television Group Chairman and CEO, Gary Newman, told reporters at the end of the Fox TCA exec session that there were early talks about potentially bringing X-FILES back for an event series.

After the panel, when Newman spoke with reporters, I asked him what the progress was of a potential series, and who would actually be attached.

“What I can say is that if this happens, it’ll be with David [Duchovny (Mulder)] and Gillian [Anderson (Scully)] reprising their roles,” Newman said. “[X-FILES creator] Chris [Carter] is interested, both David and Gillian are interested. Scheduling is very difficult. David has his show, Gillian is doing something in the UK. I really don’t know how fast it can happen, but there are ongoing conversation happening.”

So, um…anyone else excited?!
