Travel Channel’s reviving Ghost Bait featuring paranormal pioneer Bob Magill and empathic investigator Tina Storer. The reboot of the series will join the network’s primetime lineup on Thursday, April 4, 2019 at 10pm ET/PT and again at 10:30pm.

The upcoming season will consist of 12 half-hour episodes featuring Magill and Storer. Indigo Films’ Magill, David M. Frank, and Keith Guinto are executive producing. Christine Shuler is executive producing for the Travel Channel.

“Bob and Tina are two of the most dedicated paranormal investigators out there, and the unique way they conduct their investigations will keep you on the edge of your seat. And fans can’t help but root for the haunting victims as they’re forced to face their worst fears,” stated Jane Latman, general manager, Travel Channel.

Details on Ghost Bait, Courtesy of Travel Channel:

“Using a shocking but effective method of isolation combined with sensory deprivation, the duo helps people overcome their fear of intense paranormal activity. After conducting their own paranormal investigation, Magill and Storer use their findings to elevate a client’s fear level and then use that terror as bait to draw out the entity and force a confrontation. By facing their worst fears head on, Magill and Storer believe the living can overpower the negative forces around them to reclaim their sense of peace and control.

In the premiere episode, Magill and Storer travel to the historic Brookdale Lodge in Santa Cruz, California, to investigate claims of an evil spirit bullying an employee named Agnes. The paranormal investigators discover the once famed hotel has a dark history filled with mysterious deaths and corruption. Agnes must overcome her deepest fears and challenge the oppressive entity plaguing her in order to continue her livelihood at the hotel.

Isolated in the pool room, an area known for frightening activity, Agnes confronts the entity – alone.

In the second episode of the night, Magill and Storer head to Monongahela, Pennsylvania, to investigate claims of paranormal activity terrorizing a young couple in their new home. During a chilling late-night investigation, the duo come face to face with a mysterious presence in the woods and capture a terrifying voice inside the house that repeats the phrase, ‘in a portal.’ As a last resort, homeowners, Jason and Nina, are forced to confront their fear of the evil demon in order to reclaim their house.”

‘Magnum P.I.’ Season 1 Episode 19 Photos: “Blood in the Water” Preview

CBS’s Magnum P.I. is taking a week off and will return on Monday, March 25, 2019 for season one episode 19. The upcoming new episode will find Higgins and Magnum attempting to stay alive while adrift at sea. Directed by Karen Gaviola from a script by Gene Hong, episode 19 is titled “Blood in the Water.”

Episode 19’s guest cast includes Paul Yen as Kahi Kina, Samantha Neyland as Clara, Kamakani De Dely as Gary Chung, Tobias Jeliner as Brandon Leeds, and Anthony Molinari.

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 “Blood in the Water” Plot – When Magnum and Higgins get “yacht-jacked,” Higgins is shot and she and Magnum are stranded at sea, struggling to reach land before she bleeds out and the culprits return to finish them off.

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.

Aladdin’s Brand New Trailer Features “A Whole New World”

Disney just dropped a new full trailer for the live-action version of Aladdin and, fortunately, it’s a vast improvement over the film’s initial reveal. The new trailer shows off more of the Parkour-style action, more of the budding relationship between Aladdin and Jasmine, and more of Will Smith as the Genie who will not always be blue in the film. The two and a half minute trailer also features the film’s villain, Jafar, but only very briefly, as well as snippets from “A Whole New World” and “Friend Like Me.”

Disney also unveiled a colorful new poster for the 2019 theatrical release.

In addition to Will Smith, the cast includes Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Naomi Scott as Jasmine, Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, Navid Negahban as the Sultan, Nasim Pedrad as Dalia, Billy Magnussen as Prince Anders, and Numan Acar as Hakim. Guy Ritchie directed and wrote the script with John August, based on Disney’s classic animated film.

Dan Lin (The LEGO Movie) and Jonathan Eirich (Deathnote) produced, with Marc Platt (La La Land) and Kevin De La Noy (The Dark Knight Rises) executive producing. Alan Menken, who won Oscars for the animated Aladdin’s “A Whole New World” and for the film’s score, wrote the score for the new version which will feature new recordings of the animated classic’s original songs he wrote with Oscar-winning lyricists Howard Ashman (Little Shop of Horrors) and Tim Rice (The Lion King). Menken teamed up with Oscar winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land) on the two new songs written specifically for the live-action film.

Disney will open Aladdin in theaters on May 24, 2019.

The Plot:

“A thrilling and vibrant live-action adaptation of Disney’s animated classic, Aladdin is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future.”

The cast of season one is led by Andrew Koji (Fast & Furious 6) as martial arts prodigy Ah Sahm. Kieran Bew (The Street), Olivia Cheng (Marco Polo), Dianne Doan (Vikings), Dean Jagger (Game of Thrones), Langley Kirkwood (Invictus), Hoon Lee (Banshee), Christian McKay (Me and Orson Welles), Joe Taslim (Fast & Furious 6), Jason Tobin (The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift), Joanna Vanderham (The Paradise), Tom Weston-Jones (Copper), and Perry Yung (The Knick) also star in Cinemax’s new addition to their Friday primetime lineup.

What’s Warrior About?

Per Cinemax:

“Warrior is a gritty, action-packed crime drama set during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century. The series follows Ah Sahm (Koji), a martial arts prodigy who emigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances. After proving his worth as a fighter, Ah Sahm becomes a hatchet man for the Hope Wei, one of Chinatown’s most powerful tongs (Chinese organized crime family).

Befriended by Wang Chao (Lee), a fixer and profiteer in Chinatown, Ah Sahm is taken under the wing of Young Jun (Tobin), the hard-partying son of the Hop Wei’s leader, Father Jun (Yung), who is facing an imminent opium war with a rival tong. As he is indoctrinated in the rules of Chinatown gangs, Ah Sahm wins the confidence of a canny brothel madam, Ah Toy (Cheng), revealing to her the true intentions of his journey to America.

Over the course of the season, Ah Sahm crosses boundaries inside and outside Chinatown, bringing him into contact with tong rivals Mai Ling (Doan), a beautiful and ruthless Chinese woman who has achieved a position of power in one of the tongs, and Li Yong (Taslim), a tong lieutenant and Gung Fu master. As violence erupts, Sergeant “Big Bill” O’Hara (Bew) and Richard Henry Lee (Weston-Jones), a transplanted southerner and rookie cop, are tasked with forming a Chinatown squad.

Meanwhile, working-class leader and tough Irishman Dylan Leary (Jagger) is fighting for all Irish laborers by trying to inflict as much damage as possible on the Chinese immigrants he says are stealing their jobs. Amidst the strife, power-hungry San Francisco Mayor Samuel Blake (McKay) and Deputy Mayor Walter Buckley (Kirkwood), who has his own political aspirations, engage in widespread corruption, while the mayor’s young wife, Penny (Vanderham), finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage.”

    Later, in search of a woman who left China two years earlier, Ah Sahm crosses paths with Mai Ling (Dianne Doan) and Li Yong (Joe Taslim), followers of the rival tong leader Long Zii (Henry Yuk), who is trying to avoid an opium war with the Hop We – a war that Walter Buckley (Langley Kirkwood), deputy to San Francisco Mayor Samuel Blake (Christian McKay), actively promotes. Meanwhile, after two Chinese laborers are killed by white thugs, police sergeant “Big Bill” O’Hara (Kieran Bew) is tasked with creating a Chinatown squad. Enlisting southern-born cop Richard Henry Lee (Tom Weston-Jones), Bill soon finds that the hostility between the Chinese and white dock workers, whose unofficial leader is Irish tough Dylan Leary (Dean Jagger), is unlikely to end anytime soon.

Disney’s debuted a new minute and a half behind-the-scenes video from Dumbo, the 2019 live-action feature film from director Tim Burton. The new video arrived with a reminder that tickets are now available ahead of the movie’s upcoming March 29, 2019 release.

The new live-action version of Disney’s classic orphan elephant tale finds Colin Farrell playing Holt Farrier, a former circus star who finds himself caring for an elephant who can fly. Danny DeVito is Max Medeci, the owner of the struggling Medici Bros. Circus who hopes a baby elephant will turn things around. Michael Keaton plays V.A. Vandevere, an entrepreneur and proprietor behind a state-of-the-art amusement utopia called Dreamland. Eva Green is Colette Marchant, an accomplished aerialist who never dreamed she’d one day be soaring with a flying elephant.

The cast also includes Alan Arkin, Finley Hobbins, Nico Parker, Roshan Seth, Deobia Oparei, Joseph Gatt, and Sharon Rooney.

Two-time Oscar nominee Tim Burton (Frankenweenie, Corpse Bride) directed from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger (Dream House, Ophelia).

Burton’s behind the scenes team includes cinematographer Ben Davis, editor Chris Lebenzon, production designer Rick Heinrichs, and costume designer Colleen Atwood.

The Plot:

“Circus owner Max Medici (DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Farrell) and his children Milly (Parker) and Joe (Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland.

Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.”

‘Santa Clarita Diet’ Season 3 Reveals a New Trailer and Poster

The full Santa Clarita Diet season three trailer’s arrived and in it Joel attempts to put a positive spin on what’s happening to his family. Joel tells his daughter, Abby, “Yesterday we were about to lose everything. Today things are good. Life’s getting back to normal.” Of course that’s when Sheila walks into the room and proclaims, “Our mutant spider ball is sick and the Nazi meat rotted.”

The trailer also shows Joel and Sheila finally figuring out Sheila will be sticking around on planet Earth for far longer than Joel…unless someone stakes her. They hadn’t previously considered Sheila’s condition in the long term, but now she’s ready to bite her hubby so they can share the next thousands years together. Joel will apparently spend the third season of the critically acclaimed comedy pondering the possibilities.

“It’s not that I don’t want to be with you. It’s about what I might become. Once I make that decision I can never go back,” explains Joel. Sheila considers that and replies, “Go back from feeling incredible every day for forever? No, you can’t.”

Joel, wisely, responds, “Every day with you is already incredible,” which was the only correct reply. “I hate that that worked,” says Sheila.

In addition to Drew Barrymore as Sheila Hammond and Timothy Olyphant as Joel Hammond, the cast includes Liv Hewson as Abby Hammond and Skyler Gisondo as Eric Bemis. Barrymore and Olyphant executive produce along with Victor Fresco, Aaron Kaplan, Tracy Katsky, Chris Miller and Ember Truesdell. Fresco is the showrunner and Nancy Juvonen is a producer.

Netflix is set to launch Santa Clarita Diet season three on Friday, March 29, 2019.

The Santa Clarita Diet Plot:

In Santa Clarita Diet, Joel (Olyphant) and Sheila (Barrymore) are husband and wife realtors leading vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita with their teenaged daughter Abby (Hewson), until Sheila goes through a dramatic change sending their lives down a road of death and destruction…but in a good way.
