The Season 1 Plot, Courtesy of CBS:
“Blood & Treasure is a globe-trotting action-adventure drama about a brilliant antiquities expert and a cunning art thief who team up to catch a ruthless terrorist who funds his attacks through stolen treasure. Danny McNamara is a former FBI agent specializing in stolen arts and antiquities. Lexi Vaziri is a resourceful art thief who is haunted by the tragic loss of her father, which she blames on Danny. When terrorist Karim Farouk absconds with a priceless artifact and kidnaps Danny’s mentor, Dr. Anna Castillo, Danny recruits Lexi to help him bring Farouk to justice and rescue Anna.
As they chase down Farouk, they encounter unscrupulous individuals who may either be useful allies or dangerous enemies, including Aiden Shaw, an arms dealer who acts solely in his self-interest, and Simon Hardwick, an expert at procuring pilfered artifacts. Danny and Lexi are assisted by Father Chuck, a childhood friend of Danny’s who works at the Vatican Foreign Ministry in Rome.
Their hunt draws the attention of Interpol agent Gwen Karlsson, who wants Farouk brought to justice, but won’t allow Danny and Lexi to break international laws in the process. As they crisscross the world hunting their target, Danny and Lexi unexpectedly find themselves at the center of a 2,000-year-old battle for the cradle of civilization.”

AMC’s creepy new trailer for The Terror: Infamy opens with a warning. “Nothing in this world is an accident. There’s always someone watching…punishing,” says a voice-over.

Prior to the season premiere, cast members from the series will take part in a panel at the San Diego Comic Con.

When IDW Entertainment had to put a fourth season of Wynonna Earp on hold, Earpers immediately launched a #FightForWynonna campaign to save the series. Dedicated fans even went as far as purchasing ads in Times Square to promote their fight for the award-winning, inclusive show. It appears all of the Earpers’ hard work on the #FightForWynonna campaign paid off as the beloved series has been given the go-ahead to begin production on season four later this year.
IDW Entertainment, SEVEN24 Films, Space and SYFY made the announcement today, confirming Earpers will be able to delve back into the world of Wynonna Earp next summer when the series is expected to premiere season four.
The genre-bending series is based on the IDW comic by Beau Smith. Cineflix Studios has joined with IDW Entertainment to co-produce season four, and Cineflix Rights will be handling the international sales for the four seasons.
“We are absolutely thrilled that we get to make more Wynonna Earp, and are grateful to our networks and partners for working hard to ensure we can,” said Emily Andras, Showrunner and Executive Producer. “This is an enormous testament to our passionate and fierce fans, the Earpers, who remind us every day how to fight like hell for the things you love with wit, ferocity and kindness.”
“Wynonna Earp – the series, the comics, the characters, the story and the fans are all deeply important to IDW so we are thrilled to be able to continue to tell the Wynonna story. From the very beginning, the fans have embraced the series and have transformed their passion into an inclusive community built upon empathy and support, as well as whiskey and donuts. We are grateful to have partners who were able to help us bring it back for a fourth season so that we can continue to serve the dedicated Earpers, and entertain fans everywhere,” stated Lydia Antonini, President, IDW Entertainment.
The cast of the award-winning series is led by Melanie Scrofano as Wynonna. Tim Rozon (Schitt’s Creek) is Doc Holliday, Dominique Provost-Chalkley (Avengers: Age of Ultron) plays Waverly Earp, and Katherine Barrell (Working Moms) is Nicole Haught.
Jordy Randall and Tom Cox of SEVEN24 executive produce with Todd Berger and Rick Jacobs. Peter Emerson and Brett Burlock of Cineflex are also on board as executive producers.
“You sent Nick Fury to voice mail?!” says a surprised Happy (Jon Favreau). “I gotta go,” replies Peter Parker (Tom Holland), attempting to cut short the conversation. “You do NOT ghost Nick Fury,” warns Happy as Peter leaves for a European vacation in the 2019 superhero film, Spider-Man: Far From Home.
It’s been a few months since the epic battle against Thanos and Peter, along with the rest of the world, is still grieving those lost in the fight. Peter’s ready for a summer vacation in Europe with his best friend, Ned (Jacob Batalon). He’s also happy to be taking off and spending some relaxing time with MJ (Zendaya) who he’s developed feelings for and who he thinks/hopes likes him for more than just a friend. A bit nervous, Peter confides in Ned he plans on telling MJ how he feels about her on the trip.
However, Peter’s vacation plans get hijacked by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). Fury catches up with Peter in Venice – after being ghosted several times – and recruits him to help uncover the mystery of elemental creature attacks that have created massive damage and chaos on several continents.
Full of cute humor, a little too much teen-angst, and an impressive CGI action finale, Spider-Man: Far From Home is an entertaining enough sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming. It’s a solid summer superhero film, yet it lacks emotional depth and a memorable villain.
Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker and his web-slinging alter ego who really wants to take a break from crime fighting to enjoy his summer vacation and to hopefully get together with MJ. Holland brings to life the awkward, geeky, good-natured persona that is Peter Parker so naturally, he seems made for the role. He’s equally impressive as Parker’s alter-ego, the smart aleck, determined, and strong superhero – Spiderman. He’s made these roles his own and has become, for many, the best film version of the iconic comic book character.
Zendaya does a great job portraying MJ, a sardonic, smart, and a bit obsessed with macabre historical events teenager who’s falling for Peter and isn’t sure how to show him. Holland and Zendaya have terrific chemistry, and the scenes of their characters displaying their mutual teen crush and not knowing how to move forward ring true.
Jacob Batalon is hilarious as Ned, Peter’s best friend who has his own girl interests to deal with. Batalon’s a scene stealing sidekick this time out. Ned has most of the film’s funniest lines and Batalon displays a great comedic touch.
Jake Gyllenhaal is solid as Quentin Beck, a man who both Fury and Parker look to for answers about what’s causing the elemental creature attacks and how to stop them. Gyllenhaal’s performance as the possible new superhero partially fills the obvious void in the film.
Although the movie has less stirring action scenes than the first Holland Spider-Man film – focusing a lot of time on teen romance – the big CGI action battle near the end pays off huge and is both impressive and exciting.
Overall, this post-Avengers: Endgame Marvel release is a breezy fun adventure considerably lighter than Avengers that shifts the emphasis to being funny rather than thrilling. It’s what superhero fans need after the emotional roller coaster of Endgame.
GRADE: B
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, some language and brief suggestive comments

Amazon Prime Video’s set to launch the adult action series The Boys starring Chace Crawford, Antony Starr, and Karl Urban on July 26, 2019. The series is based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s best-selling comic which takes a different, twisted approach to the standard superhero fare. The comic and the series pose the question: what if superheroes are actually jerks who abuse their superpowers?
The cream of the crop of the supes are known as The Seven, made up of Homelander (Antony Starr), The Deep (Chace Crawford), A-Train (Jessie T. Usher), Starlight (Erin Moriarty), Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott), Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell), and Translucent (Alex Hassell). Standing against them are The Boys led by Karl Urban as Billy Butcher.
Amazon brought The Boys cast to the New York Comic Con for a panel that introduced The Seven and The Boys. The cast also participated in interviews at the New York event, with Antony Starr and Chace Crawford teamed up to talk about the show’s tone and why they gravitated to the project.
This is such a departure for the both of you. Is that part of the reason you were drawn to the series?
Chace Crawford: “Yeah. I mean, I definitely was drawn to it, to some of the comedic aspects. You know, the character – I read the sides and I just got the tone of it. I was like, ‘This is project I can have fun with.’ You know what I mean? Evolving him and just kind of making him my own. So, yeah, for me it was a real breath of fresh air, collaboration wise.
It’s a dark show and it’s a dark character, so it was a lot of fun for me to switch it up.”
Antony Starr: “I’m not sure how much of a departure it was, although it was a superhero for me. You know, it’s adult content which I’ve been involved in before. That sounds terrible! That sounds like I did porn! Sorry…I did R-rated content not porn. Jesus, man!”
Everyone is saying this show pushes the envelope and for you it’s where you come from with Banshee.
Antony Starr: “Yeah, Banshee pushed the envelope sometimes maybe a little too much and could be a little gratuitous at times. But it was what it was. This show is…I think the source material comic book really pushes the envelope and doesn’t pull any punches. There’s probably a niche market for that kind of content.
So, when it comes to putting that on air, we’ve had to tame it down a little bit and make it a little more palatable – particularly in the current social climate. I mean, the people who make TV are not stupid and they’re very conscious of what’s going to sell and what’s not. And I anticipate this is going to do really well and I think anyone who does bad things in the show isn’t necessarily praised, doesn’t come out rewarded. So, I think there’s balance in the show in a way that there isn’t as much balance in the comic book.”
What about this character did you really love delving into? Was there something in particular you liked sinking your teeth into?
Antony Starr: “For some reason I always play characters that are really dark. I’m not really sure why. I don’t think I’m a dark person.”
Chace Crawford: “I don’t think so either.”
Antony Starr: “Apparently I’m really f*cked up. (Laughing) But, no, it was really… I’ll be honest. I didn’t know… I was shooting something else and my people said, ‘You got to try for this. It’s going to be really great. There are good people involved.’ And I didn’t really have time to read it or think about it. I sent the audition down; they really liked it.
I read it and I liked it, but I didn’t really know anything about it. Thankfully, I knew it was good people involved and I knew the material that I’d seen was really great. And it’s just gotten better and better and better. It’s just – without saying as a cliché actors always say, ‘Everyone’s wonderful,’ but this is a genuinely great bunch of people. Equally important the creativity on the show’s been so collaborative, so open. It’s been great.”

What about the scripts attracted you?
Chace Crawford: “I don’t even think I read the script. I read the sides and I was like, ‘This is good,’ you know? And I went in and I thought for sure there’d be like some long, drawn-out process, maybe even after Christmas. And they’re like, ‘No. We’ve got to get the superhero suits made.’
They used my tape for the test but then that was it. And then I read the comics over Christmas and I was like, ‘Okay, that’s enough of that! I’ll just read the scripts.’
For me, I was just attracted to the character. It was a lot of fun, good people involved, and a dark superhero show. I was pumped about it.”
Antony Starr: “The scripts have been great. We’ve got a pretty good writing team headed up by Eric Kripke who’s some sort of mad genius, I think. It’s good to have his hand on the tiller.”
Is it dark and gritty or dark and twisted?
Chace Crawford: “A little bit of both in there, really.”
Antony Starr: “Totally both, man. It’s funny because there’s almost two different shows going on at once. We’ve got The Boys who are driving the story and that’s really earthy and gritty, a lot of the camera style is handheld. It’s much more organic and has a real earthy, gritty feel. And then the superheroes – ours was much more classic, much more formal, and the shots were on rails and tracks.”
Chace Crawford: “There’s almost like an absurdist quality to it. There’s a bizarreness to it that’s really unique. That’s what makes it entertaining. You can’t really describe it. It’s really bizarre.”
Antony Starr: “Yeah, it really is. And a lot of the time when the really…there is a definite grittiness to it but when those really dark things come up, you know, without giving anything away something terrible happens to someone physically – if something really bad happens to someone – it’s comical. So, there’s a lightness with that. A lot like we were talking about Banshee and the similarities before, like a lot of the darkness in that was actually really dark comedy. So, there’s bad stuff happening but you can’t help but chuckle.”
Karl Urban was saying there’s something in one of the scripts you’ve never seen on TV before because it’s outrageous. You know what he’s talking about, I’m sure.
Antony Starr: “He was one underplaying it, I think, because there’s something you’ve never seen in every script. No sh*t, dude. I swear on my life I don’t even know how they dreamed it up.”
Coming from Banshee that says a lot.
Antony Starr: (Laughing) Oh no no no no. You ain’t seen nothing yet, my friend. Nothing!”
