THE WINE SHOW Season 2: James Purefoy Joins the Cast

This is news worth toasting to: James Purefoy has joined THE WINE SHOW.

The first season of the lifestyle/docuseries followed Matthew Goode and Matthew Rhys as they learned more about various wines. In the sophomore season, “from their beautiful new villa in France, Purefoy and Goode set off on a new challenge in every episode, uncovering some of the best wines in the world, and telling the stories that surround them. Back in the UK, Matthew Rhys is in glamorous and historic London St James’s on his quest to find gadgets old and new. In addition to tasting the wines brought back from around the globe, Purefoy and Goode are tasked by wine expert Joe Fattorini to find a case of wine to match a six course French lunch cooked by Michelin starred chef Stephane Reynaud. But this year, Joe is not judging. Jancis Robinson, the world’s most influential wine critic, decides which wines make it to the Wine Show Case. And she is taking no prisoners. Wine expert Amelia Singer returns and sommelier Jaega Wise joins the series. Countries visited this season include the USA, Canada, Georgia, Spain, Japan, Argentina, Bosnia and Germany.”

Here’s a full list of what Goode, Rhys, and Purefoy will be up to in THE WINE SHOW season 2… Read more

THE FOLLOWING: ‘Funny AND Die’ Parody Brings in Dean Winters, Michael C. Hall, Kyra Sedgwick, and More as Kevin Bacon Tries to Survive Joe Carroll

THE FOLLOWING is airing two brand new episodes tonight, and that’s not the only treat fans can enjoy: the team behind the series concocted a special “Funny AND Die” parody of the series.

In the video (which you can view for yourself below), Kevin Bacon (THE FOLLOWING’s Ryan Hardy) tries to warn Dean Winters (BATTLE CREEK) about the dangers of Joe Carroll. Naturally, Winters isn’t buying it. And that’s when things start to unravel in an amazing fashion.

Check out the great video!

THE FOLLOWING Bosses on a Ryan Hardy-Centric Season 3, Michael Ealy’s New Big Bad, and More

We’re just three weeks away from the two-hour season premiere of THE FOLLOWING, and things are set to be a bit different when the show returns.

First of all, the Joe Carroll chapter of the series is over. While Carroll made it out alive (and James Purefoy’s Carroll will appear on the show)  — thanks to an alternate ending not making the final cut —  the focus of the show will shift more fully to Kevin Bacon’s Ryan Hardy. (And Ryan will have to contend with a new baddie this season.)

There’s also been a behind-the-scenes transition in showrunners, as THE FOLLOWING creator Kevin Williamson has handed over showrunner duties to a trio of show vets: writers/executive producers Brett Mahoney and Alexi Hawley, as well as director/executive producer Marcos Siega. (Williamson has been focused on CBS’ STALKER.)

I spoke with Mahoney and Hawley about the transition to showrunning THE FOLLOWING, “moving the center of the show,” why fans of THE FOLLOWING newbie Michael Ealy will be excited by the season, and more…

THE FOLLOWING: Marcos Siega and Jennifer Johnson on Keeping Joe Alive, the Stakes for Ryan in Season 3, and More

For two seasons, Ryan Hardy’s obsession with catching Joe Carroll (and the duo’s twisted relationship) drove THE FOLLOWING’s storytelling. But now, Joe has been recaptured — and won’t be escaping — while Ryan will be facing a brand new threat in season 3.

So how will the series handle the massive shift in the show’s dynamic? And why did they ultimately opt to keep Joe alive after filming an alternate ending where he was killed? After the show’s Comic-Con panel, director/executive producer Marcos Siega and new showrunner Jennifer Johnson spoke with reporters about that, how James Purefoy (Joe) handled being in the dark about not knowing his character’s fate, and more…

To get a bit of insight into what Joe has planned next, I spoke with Purefoy about his alter ego…
