The final season of CBS’s popular drama Elementary continues with episode five, “Into the Woods.” Season seven episode five will air on June 20, 2019 at 10pm ET/PT and was directed by Christine Moore from a script by Jeffrey Paul King.

“Into the Woods” guest stars include Rob Bartlett, Nick Rehberger, Chris Diamantopoulos, Maddie Joe Landers, and Samantha Massell. Emma Kikue, Andre Blake, Phumzile Sitole, Stephen Dexter, and Jeff Applegate also guest star in the seventh season’s fifth episode.

The cast of Elementary is led by Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Joan Watson. Aidan Quinn is Captain Tommy Gregson, Jon Michael Hill is Detective Marcus Bell, and James Frain plays Odin Reichenbach. Virginia Madsen and Jordan Gelber appear in recurring roles as Paige and M.E. Hawes.

The “Into the Woods” Plot – Tech billionaire Odin Reichenbach (James Frain) hires Holmes and Watson to investigate a personal threat he suspects originated from within his own company. Also, Holmes and Watson search for a motive behind three seemingly unconnected murders.

The Elementary Plot:

“Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller as Detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson in a modern-day drama about a crime-solving duo that cracks the NYPD’s most impossible cases. Initially sober companion and client, Holmes and Watson’s relationship evolved into a symbiotic professional investigative partnership. Once the top homicide consultants for Captain Thomas Gregson, they worked regularly alongside Detective Marcus Bell before Holmes’ false confession to a murder he did not commit forced them to move to London.

Holmes and Watson forge new careers in England as consultants for Scotland Yard until they receive news that a member of their inner circle has been gravely wounded in the United States. As Holmes’ stateside legal trouble threatens to keep them from returning to New York, their greatest foe to date, tech billionaire Odin Reichenbach waits on the horizon to test their limits.”

‘The Dead Don’t Die’ Movie Review

“So what are you thinking?” asks Chief Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray). “I’m thinking zombies,” replies Officer Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver). “What?!,” asks a puzzled Robertson. “You know, the undead…ghouls,” answers Peterson as they discover two people dead and partly eaten in the horror/comedy, The Dead Don’t Die.

Life is simple and laid back in the town of Centerville, Ohio. The worst Robertson and his team usually have to deal with is reminding hermit Bob (Tom Waits) not to steal farmer Miller’s (Steve Buscemi) chickens and the occasional passing of one of the older residents of the town. This all changes, however, when flesh-eating zombies start rising from the grave and attacking the innocent and unprepared people of Centerville.

It falls to a shocked Robertson, an unfazed Peterson, and a terrified Officer Mindy Morrison (Chloe Sevigny) to try to protect the town’s people from the hungry ghouls. To do so they enlist the help of the local coroner, Zelda Winston (Tilda Swinton), who’s very talented at using a samurai sword to take down the undead.

You’d expect more from a comedy featuring an A-list cast and written and directed by Jim Jarmusch (Paterson, Only Lovers Left Alive). Unfortunately for fans of the undead, or comedies in general, The Dead Don’t Die is a boring, deadpan take on the classic zombies rising from the grave and attacking innocent citizens films that brings nothing new to the subgenre. The movie has a painfully slow pace and the dry humor is sadly scarce throughout it. The winks, nods, and breaking of the fourth wall from the cast is entertaining at first but eventually grows tiresome and annoying.

Rising above the material, Bill Murray and Adam Driver manage to be funny and effective as the police chief who can’t believe what’s happening in his town and the deputy who seems to know that the town’s invasion of zombies is “going to end badly,” something he laments multiple times throughout the film. Tilda Swinton steals the film as the odd but likeable sword-wielding coroner who seems to belong in another universe. Unfortunately, even their performances are not enough to make the film worth sitting through.

Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die never truly springs to life. Despite the stellar cast, this one’s dead on arrival.

Details on CBS’s New Fall Series:

ALL RISE – ALL RISE is a courthouse drama that follows the chaotic, hopeful and sometimes absurd lives of its judges, prosecutors and public defenders, as they work with bailiffs, clerks and cops to get justice for the people of Los Angeles amidst a flawed legal process. Among them is newly appointed Judge Lola Carmichael (Simone Missick), a highly regarded and impressive deputy district attorney who doesn’t intend to sit back on the bench in her new role, but instead leans in, immediately pushing the boundaries and challenging the expectations of what a judge can be.

ALL RISE stars Simone Missick as Lola Carmichael, Wilson Bethel as Mark Callan, Marg Helgenberger as Judith Benner, Jessica Camacho as Emily Lopez, J. Alex Brinson as Luke Watkins, Lindsay Mendez as Sara Pratt and Ruthie Ann Miles as Sherri Kanski.

EVIL – EVIL is a psychological mystery that examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion. The series focuses on a skeptical female psychologist who joins a priest-in-training and a carpenter as they investigate the Church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions and hauntings. Their job is to assess if there is a logical explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work.

Undaunted by Abishola’s (Folake Olowofoyeku) lack of initial interest or the vast differences in their backgrounds, Bob (Billy Gardell) is determined to win Abishola’s heart, in this comedic examination of immigrant life in America.

At age 50, Carol is a medical intern and must sink or swim with peers who are half her age. It’s her enthusiasm, perspective and yes, even her age, that may be exactly what will make her second act a great success.

CAROL’S SECOND ACT stars Patricia Heaton as Carol Kenney, Kyle MacLachlan as Dr. Frost, Ito Aghayere as Dr. Maya Jacobs, Jean-Luc Bilodeau as Daniel and Sabrina Jalees as Lexie. Lucas Neff guest stars as Caleb.

To Wade’s amazement, he’s a hot commodity with women, and his friends explain that he’s the perfect single guy – a “unicorn”: employed, attractive, and with a proven track record of commitment. With his daughters and best friends rooting him on and hoping he’ll find happiness again, Wade and his healing heart are ready to try life… and love… again.

THE UNICORN stars Walton Goggins as Wade, Rob Corddry as Forrest, Michaela Watkins as Delia, Omar Benson Miller as Ben, Maya Lynne Robinson as Michelle, Ruby Jay as Grace, and Makenzie Moss as Natalie.

Daniel Radcliffe has committed to starring in the upcoming Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interactive special. Netflix made the announcement but didn’t reveal exactly what Daniel Radcliffe will be doing in the special which focuses on the always bubbly Kimmy Schmidt (played by Ellie Kemper) and the Reverend (played by Jon Hamm).

The streaming service also confirmed the special will air in 2020. The series wrapped up its four season run in January 2019, and the special will act as a way to complete storylines.

Per Netflix, the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interview special follows Kimmy as she “sets off on her biggest adventure yet. Three states! Explosions! A dancing hamburger! And you, the viewer, get to decide how the story goes. Will you foil the Reverend’s evil plan and get Kimmy to her wedding on time? Or will you accidentally start a war against the robots? So grab your remote and a tray of delicious scrod, ‘cause Kimmy’s got her own Netflix interactive special!”

In addition to Ellie Kemper and Jon Hamm, returning cast members includes Tituss Burgess as Titus Andromedon, Jane Krakowski as Jacqueline White, and Carol Kane as Lillian Kaushtupper.

Announcing the special in May, executive producer Tina Fey said, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was one of the first original comedy series on Netflix, and now it will be its first interactive comedy event. Fans will be able to make choices on behalf of our characters, taking different story paths with, of course, different jokes. I think it’s a great fit for our show and will be a great way to officially complete the series.”

Tina Fey created the series with executive producer Robert Carlock (Saturday Night Live, Friends, 30 Rock). Jeff Richmond, Sam Means, Meredith Scardino, and David Miner also executive produce.

The popular comedy earned 18 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and three Screen Actors Guild nominations (for Tituss Burgess and Ellie Kemper). It was also nominated for seven Critics’ Choice Awards, with Jane Krakowski winning in the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category in 2016.
