Netflix is teasing fans of Sabrina the Teenage Witch with just-released photos from season two of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The new photos confirm Sabrina will be having a difficult time choosing between Nicholas Scratch and her normal high school boyfriend, Harvey Kinkle.

Season two will premiere on April 5, 2019 and will consist of nine episodes (down one from season one). In December Netflix delivered the good news that the series has already been renewed for seasons three and four.

The cast of the critically acclaimed horror series is led by Kiernan Shipka in the title role. Miranda Otto, Lucy Davis, Ross Lynch, Michelle Gomez, Chance Perdomo, Jaz Sinclair, and Richard Coyle also star in the popular series along with Tati Gabrielle, Adeline Rudolph, Abigail Cowen, Lachlan Watson, and Gavin Leatherwood.

Riverdale’s Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Chief Creative Officer of the Archie Comics, is the series’ showrunner and writer. He also serves as an executive producer along with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Archie Comics CEO Jon Goldwater, and Lee Toland Krieger.

The Series Plot:

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina imagines the origin and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult and, of course, witchcraft. Tonally in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist, this adaptation finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature – half-witch, half-mortal – while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit.

Part 2 finds Sabrina exploring her darker side, curious to learn more about her heritage, while struggling to maintain her friendships in the mortal world. Romantically, Sabrina is caught in an unholy love triangle with between sexy warlock Nicholas Scratch and salt-of-the-Earth mortal Harvey Kinkle. Meanwhile, The Dark Lord, Madame Satan, and Father Blackwood continue to conjure chaos in the Spellman household and the town of Greendale. And they aren’t the only ones trying to raise hell. Everything is in question…relationships, identity, true intentions…when the devil’s work is at hand.”

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World continues to pull in family audiences, keeping its grip on the top spot on the box office chart for its second weekend in a row. Its biggest competition over the March 1-3, 2019 weekend came from the final film of the Madea franchise, Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral. The ninth film of the successful comedy film franchise had to settle for second place while outperforming pre-release estimates.

The first weekend in March also marked the release of the thriller, Greta, directed by Neil Jordan (The Borgias, The Brave One). Starring Isabelle Huppert and Chloe Grace Moretz, the Focus Features release didn’t earn a lot of love from critics or from ticket buyers. Greta currently sits at 57% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and pulled in a disappointing $4.5 million over its opening weekend.

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World will be relinquishing its box office crown next weekend with the arrival of the much-anticipated comic book-inspired film, Captain Marvel. Opening in 4,100+ theaters, Captain Marvel starring Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson is expected to turn a disappointing box office year around by pulling in at least $130 million.

Box Office Top 10: March 1-3, 2019

  1. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World – $30,046,000
  2. Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral – $27,050,000
  3. Alita: Battle Angel – $7,000,000

  8. Greta – $4,585,000
  9. What Men Want – $2,700,000
  10. Happy Death Day 2U – $2,516,000

The How to Train your Dragon: The Hidden World Plot:

“From DreamWorks Animation comes a surprising tale about growing up, finding the courage to face the unknown…and how nothing can ever train you to let go. What began as an unlikely friendship between an adolescent Viking and a fearsome Night Fury dragon has become an epic adventure spanning their lives. Welcome to the most astonishing chapter of one of the most beloved animated franchises in film history: How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

Now chief and ruler of Berk alongside Astrid, Hiccup has created a gloriously chaotic dragon utopia. When the sudden appearance of female Light Fury coincides with the darkest threat their village has ever faced, Hiccup and Toothless must leave the only home they’ve known and journey to a hidden world thought only to exist in myth. As their true destines are revealed, dragon and rider will fight together—to the very ends of the Earth—to protect everything they’ve grown to treasure.”

‘Magnum P.I.’ Season 1 Episode 17 Photos: “Black is the Widow” Preview and Plot

Season one episode 17 of CBS’s Magnum P.I. welcomes the 2018 Honolulu Little League World Series champions as well as Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich as guest stars. Episode 17 was directed by Kirsten Windell from a script by Neil Tolkin. The episode’s titled “Black is the Widow” and is set to air on Monday, March 4, 2019 at 9pm ET/PT.

Episode 17’s guest cast includes David Bell as Manu Saluni, Gia Mantegna as Karen McDowell, Jonathan Goldstein as Roland McDowell, Brooke Lyons as Abby Miller, Jenny Wade as Cleo Jennings, and Brandon Karrer as Davis Sadler. Danielle C. Ryan, Camille Claire, Ehiku Kaono, Kendall Carroll, Roxy Otm, Nicholas Yee, Lei Kaniaupio, Dennis Chun, Ka’olu Holt, Sean Yamaguchi, and Aukai Kea also guest star.

The cast of the reboot of the series is led by Jay Hernandez as Thomas Magnum. Perdita Weeks is Juliet Higgins, Zachary Knighton is Orville “Rick” Wright, Stephen Hill is Theodore “TC” Calvin, Tim Kang is Det. Gordon Katsumoto, and Amy Hill plays Kumu.

The “Black Is the Widow” Plot – After a man is murdered, Magnum poses as a doctor on the same dating app the victim was using in order to find the killer who may be praying on wealthy men.

The Season 1 Plot:

Magnum P.I. is a modern take on the classic series centering on Thomas Magnum, a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. A charming rogue, an American hero and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum lives in a guest cottage on Robin’s Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business.

The “majordomo” of the property is Juliet Higgins, a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent whose second job is to keep Magnum in line, with the help of her two Dobermans. When Magnum needs back-up on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors, Theodore “TC” Calvin, a former Marine chopper pilot who runs Island Hoppers, a helicopter tour business, and Orville “Rick” Wright, a former Marine door-gunner-turned-impresario of Oahu’s coolest nightclub and the most connected man on the island. Suspicious of Magnum’s casual attitude and presence at his crime scenes, Detective Gordon Katsumoto finds that he and Magnum are more alike than either of them care to admit.

One of Magnum’s biggest supporters is Teuila “Kumu” Tuileta, the unofficial “House Mom” and cultural curator of Robin’s Nest. With keys to a vintage Ferrari in one hand, aviator sunglasses in the other, and an Old Düsseldorf longneck chilling in the fridge, Thomas Magnum is back on the case!

It was a journey into a wondrous land of imagination for five years on CBS, from 1959 to 1964.

The godfather of sci-fi series, the show explored humanity’s hopes, despairs, prides and prejudices in metaphoric ways conventional dramas could not. Every episode of the original series is available to stream now on CBS All Access.”




Kelly Clarkson’s Back as the Billboard Music Awards Host

Three-time Grammy Award winner Kelly Clarkson is set to return to the Billboard Music Awards stage as host. Clarkson made the announcement during her concert stop in Dallas, Texas, joking with her fans that she must not have sucked her first time out as host since she’s been invited back.

“I had so much fun hosting the Billboard Music Awards last year that I’m back for more,” stated Clarkson. “We’re turning it up a notch this year and I can’t wait to celebrate all of my fellow amazing artists for another unforgettable night of live music.”

2019 marks the show’s second consecutive airing on NBC. Last year more than 7.9 million viewers tuned in to watch the celebration of music. This year’s awards show will be executive produced by Kelly Clarkson, Mark Bracco, Barry Adelman, and Robert Deaton.

The 2019 Billboard Music Awards will be held on Wednesday, May 1st and will air live on NBC beginning at 8pm ET/5pm PT. The show will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and is expected to run three hours since no awards show can come in at a reasonable two-hour length.

Clarkson’s been keeping busy on tour and as a coach on The Voice alongside John Legend, Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine. Clarkson, a four-time American Music Awards winner, will be hosting her own show (The Kelly Clarkson Show) on NBC this fall. She recently put out her eighth studio album, Meaning of Life, and is the author of two children’s books – River Rose and the Magical Lullaby and River Rose and the Magical Christmas.

Clarkson’s music career was launched on the singing competition series American Idol in 2002. Since winning the first season of American Idol, Clarkson’s sold more than 25 million albums and has 17 singles that have reached multi-platinum, platinum, and gold sales levels.

Details on the Billboard Music Awards, Courtesy of NBC:

“Billboard Music Awards nominees and winners are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay, touring and social engagement, tracked by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Music and Next Big Sound. Since 1940, the Billboard charts have been the go-to guide for ranking the popularity of artists, songs and albums, and are the ultimate measure of success in music.”
