Ovation’s just unveiled a short trailer for the upcoming third – and final – season of the period drama, Versailles. The new season will premiere on Saturday, October 6, 2018 at 10pm ET/PT.
The cast of season three is led by George Blagden as Louis XIV and includes Catherine Walker as Madame de Maintenon, Elisa Lasowski as Queen Marie-Thérèse, Rory Keenan as Leopold, and Alexander Vlahos as Prince Philippe.
The Season 3 Plot: In Versailles Season 3, nothing can thwart King Louis XIV’s ambitions. He has settled the Affair of the Poisons and won the war against Holland. Now he aims to expand his empire and impose his power on all of Europe.
But his dreams come with a cost. The people are tired of paying taxes and resistance is growing. Maintenon, his new favorite, grows in influence and power within the Court. Louis becomes more dogmatic. He refuses to tolerate any disagreement, whether from his people, the Protestants or the Pope himself. And yet, a threat looms in the background. This shadow hanging over Louis is in the form of a mysterious man hiding behind an iron mask.
A Look Back at Season 1: At 28, King Louis XIV of France commissions Versailles, the most beautiful palace in Europe, which serves as the King’s gilded prison – keeping his friends close and enemies closer. Enter a world of untold wealth, power, and passion. Where love and lust are just a heartbeat away from deceit and betrayal. Experience Versailles in all its brutal glory.
And Season 2: In Season 2 of Versailles, we witness the dark underbelly of power as King Louis XIV sees the dream of his grand Versailles palace crumbling before his eyes. Most of France’s eminent lords and ladies now live under the Sun King’s roof. Drugs, gambling, and alcohol are rampant, as nobles begin to poison each other in order to get closer to the King and climb up the social ladder.

Details on CBS’s New Fall Primetime Shows:
FBI –FBI is a fast-paced drama about the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe. Born into a multigenerational law enforcement family, Special Agent Maggie Bell commits deeply to the people she works with as well as those she protects. Her partner is Special Agent Omar Adom ‘OA’ Zidan, a West Point graduate via Bushwick who spent two years undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the FBI.
Overseeing them is a deeply respected Special Agent in Charge, who operates under intense pressure – political, public and self-imposed. The team also includes Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, the nerve center of the office whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator. Kristen Chazal is the team’s most valued resource, a brilliant analyst recruited straight out of university who can piece together the big picture faster than anyone. These first-class agents tenaciously investigate cases of tremendous magnitude, including terrorism, organized crime and counterintelligence.
God Friended Me –God Friended Me is a humorous, uplifting drama about an outspoken atheist whose life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from God and unwittingly becomes an agent of change in the lives and destinies of others around him. Miles Finer is intelligent, hopeful and optimistic, but he doesn’t believe in God. This puts him at odds with his father, Reverend Arthur Finer, a beloved preacher at Harlem’s Trinity Church for 25 years who is stung by his son’s strong rejection of his faith.
Miles feels he’s found his purpose in life hosting a podcast where he’s free to speak his mind, but that changes when he receives the ultimate friend request. After repeated pokes by God, Miles’ curiosity takes over, and he accepts the request and follows the signs to Cara Bloom, an online journalist suffering from writer’s block. Brought together by the “God Account,” the two find themselves investigating God’s friend suggestions and inadvertently helping others in need.
Joining them on their journey are Miles’s supportive sister, Ali, a doctoral psych student by day and bartender by night, and his best friend, Rakesh, a sometime hacker who helps Miles and Cara research the enigmatic account. Miles is set on getting to the bottom of what he believes is an elaborate hoax, but in the meantime he’ll play along and, in the process, change his life forever.
Happy Together –Happy Together stars Damon Wayans Jr. in a comedy about a 30-something happily married couple who begin to reconnect with their younger, cooler selves when a young pop star drawn to their super-ordinary suburban life unexpectedly moves in with them. Jake, an accountant, and his dream wife, Claire, a restaurant and bar designer, are very comfortably settled into their marriage, enjoying evenings together on the couch watching TV and scheduling time to change their outgoing voicemail message.
Their tame routine gets a makeover when Jake’s client, exuberant music superstar Cooper James, arrives on their doorstep looking for refuge from the paparazzi following a high-profile breakup with his girlfriend. Jake and Claire quickly discover there’s no way they can keep up with their world-famous houseguest’s effortlessly cool, fast-paced lifestyle. Cooper, however, enjoys Jake and Claire’s more relaxed way of life, discovering that a touch of ordinary can be extraordinary for all three of them.
Magnum P.I. –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. 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!
The Neighborhood –The Neighborhood stars Cedric the Entertainer in a comedy about what happens when the friendliest guy in the Midwest moves his family to a neighborhood in Los Angeles where not everyone looks like him or appreciates his extreme neighborliness. Dave Johnson is a good natured professional conflict negotiator. When his wife Gemma gets a job as a school principal in L.A., they move from Michigan with their young son, Grover, unfazed that their new dream home is located in a community quite different from their small town.
Their opinionated next door neighbor, Calvin Butler, is wary of the newcomers, certain that the Johnsons will disrupt the culture on the block. However, Calvin’s gracious wife, Tina, rolls out the welcome wagon, their chipper younger son, Marty, thinks the Johnsons are very brave to move in, and their unemployed older son, Malcolm, finds Dave may finally be someone who understands him. Dave realizes that fitting into their new community is more complex than he expected, but if he can find a way to connect with Calvin, they have an excellent chance of making their new neighborhood their home.
The teaser trailer for Showtime’s Who is America? promises audiences will see a Sacha Baron Cohen like they’ve never seen before. Details on Who is America? arrived just days after Cohen posted a video from a few years back of Donald Trump criticizing his comedy skills and telling him to go to school to learn to be funny. Cohen, who doesn’t use Twitter, ended the video with the Trump University logo and the tagline: “Sacha graduates soon.”
After much speculation over what Sacha Baron Cohen meant by tweeting out the cryptic video, another video arrived that dropped additional hints as to what’s going on. The video begins by asking fans to “imagine if Sacha Baron Cohen had been undercover secretly filming a new show for a year.” The short video also includes Dick Cheney autographing a waterboarding kit, marking the first time Cheney’s ever been asked to sign a torture kit.
The answer to Cohen’s mystery project came on July 9, 2018 with the official announcement of the Who is America? half-hour series. Season one of the seven episode series will premiere on Sunday, July 15, 2018 at midnight ET online, via streaming, and On Demand. It will then air on Showtime at 10pm ET/PT, also on July 15th. Additional episodes will air every Sunday at 10pm ET/PT.
“Sacha is a comedic genius who shocks you with his audacity, bravery and inventiveness,” stated David Nevins, President and CEO of Showtime Networks Inc. “He is the premier provocateur of our time, but not for the sake of ‘gotcha’ moments. Behind the elaborate setup is a genuine quest for the truth about people, places and politics. Nobody knows how to cause a stir like Sacha Baron Cohen, and it’s going to be fascinating to watch what happens when Who is America? is released on the world.”
Per Showtime: “Famous for creating a roster of iconic moments and incendiary characters, Baron Cohen returns to series television for the first time in more than a decade, writing and directing Who is America?. In the works over the past year, the seven-episode series will explore the diverse individuals, from the infamous to the unknown across the political and cultural spectrum, who populate our unique nation.”
The first official trailer for Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black confirms we’re stepping into a whole new world behind bars in the upcoming sixth season. The trailer finds our favorite inmates out of their (relative) comfort zone when they’re moved to a different prison.
In addition to releasing the full trailer, Netflix has unveiled a poster for the upcoming season of the award-winning dramatic series.
The cast of the new season includes Taylor Schilling, Kate Mulgrew, Jessica Pimentel, Selenis Leyva, Adrienne C. Moore, Natasha Lyonne, and Danielle Brooks. Netflix has set a Friday, July 27, 2018 premiere date for season six.
The Orange Is The New Black Season 6 Plot: Picking up one week after the emergency response team stormed Litchfield Penitentiary, the ladies of Litch have been torn apart, literally and figuratively, as they enter a new facility in the sixth season of Orange Is The New Black. Now newbies they must navigate new rules and power dynamics, starting at the bottom, and getting hazed by inmates and tortured by guards. Friendships will be tested and new allegiances formed — some by choice and others by circumstance — as the women face a slew of charges from the riot. Will they take plea deals and turn on each other or band together and keep their bonds intact?
A Look Back at Season 5: A riot sparked by Poussey’s death quickly escalates when the inmates gain control of the prison. Once they get a taste of power, chaos ensues through the halls of Litchfield. In real time and over the course of just three days, season five of Orange Is The New Black will leave the inmates’ lives forever changed as they are emboldened to fight for redemption, resolution and the respect they deserve.

Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies has released the first photo and a new teaser trailer for the animated family-friendly film, Wonder Park. The two-minute trailer shows a young girl discovering a theme park hidden in the woods and run by magical talking animals. However, the new two-minute trailer for the 2019 animated feature film doesn’t explain why the film’s called Wonder Park while the theme park revealed in the trees is named Wonderland. (Even the lead character in the trailer references Wonderland.)
“A lost land…a magical place just waiting for someone special to bring it back to life.”
The PG-rated film was written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows) from a story by Applebaum, Nemec, and Robert Gordon. Appelbaum, Nemec, and Kendra Haaland served as producers, with Karen Rosenfelt and Don Hahn executive producing. The studio hasn’t credited the film to a director after the original helmer, first-time director Dylan Brown, was fired in January 2018 following complaints of inappropriate and unwanted conduct.
Production on Wonder Park began back in 2014 under the original title Amusement Park, which makes more sense than Wonder Park. (Even the lead character in the trailer references Wonderland.)
The Wonder Land voice casts includes Jennifer Garner (The Tribes of Palos Verdes), Matthew Broderick (Rules Don’t Apply), John Oliver (Last Week Tonight), Mila Kunis (A Bad Moms Christmas), Kenan Thompson (Saturday Night Live), Ken Jeong (Bob’s Burgers), Norbert Leo Butz (Bloodline), Brianna Denski, and Ken Hudson Campbell.
Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies have set a March 15, 2019 theatrical release date for Wonder Park.
The Plot:Wonder Park tells the story of a magnificent amusement park where the imagination of a wildly creative girl named June comes alive.

“Sometimes a lady likes to have some fun,” declares Rachel Weisz in the first official teaser trailer for The Favourite. The period piece comes from director Yorgos Lanthimos, writer and director of 2015’s The Lobster and 2017’s The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and first time feature film writer Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara (Doctor Doctor).
In addition to Oscar winner Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener), the cast of The Favourite includes Olivia Colman (Murder on the Orient Express), Oscar winner Emma Stone (La La Land), Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men: Days of Future Past), Joe Alwyn (Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk), James Smith (The Thick of It), and Mark Gatiss (Doctor Who, The League of Gentlemen). Ceci Dempsey, Ed Guiney, Lee Magiday, and director Yorgos Lanthimos served as producers.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ behind the scenes team includes director of photography Robbie Ryan, editor Sam Sneade, costume designer Sandy Powell, and production designer Fiona Crombie.
Fox Searchlight has set a November 23, 2018 release date in select U.S. theaters.
The Plot: Early 18th century. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne’s ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah.
Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfill her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way.
The 2018 San Diego Comic Con full schedule’s been released and once again television networks will have a large presence at the sold-out convention.

AMC’s Preacher season three episode three kicks off with Tulip (Ruth Negga) racing down the road, with the speedometer pegging 120 mph. She’s driving like a bat out of hell because she’s on a mission to take down The Grail. Unfortunately, by the time she arrives at their headquarters, the offices have been vacated. They left behind a box of business cards, a painting of Jesus, and not much else.
As she’s returning to Angelville in frustration, she encounters God and a woman on a motorcycle. After removing his dog head, it’s revealed God (Mark Harelik) looks exactly like Fake God. He thanks Tulip, telling her everything she’s screwed up was done because he commanded it. It’s her nature to mess up, so he expected her to ruin Jesse’s chance of retrieving his soul from Herr Starr. “Free will is a blessing and a curse. Do not despair, my child. Just know I am a loving God,” he advises Tulip.
As God’s about to take off on the motorcycle with his lady friend, Tulip questions him about his big design. He explains he’s preparing a test for the future of creation – and that’s all he’ll tell her. He’s walking away when Tulip calls bullshit on that answer. She accuses God of “just screwing around” and calls him a dickwad, for good measure. God’s not pleased with Tulip calling him out and begins expanding in size while glowing. He points his finger and commands Tulip to back off, and then sends her sailing through the air into the front of her car.
After God rides away, Tulip warns she’s going to find him and kick his ass.
Meanwhile, TC (Colin Cunningham) removes the bullet from Cassidy’s shoulder. TC’s mixed his own personal anesthetic and Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) is thrilled to learn it contains hemlock. The anesthetic makes Cassidy very talkative and he describes a lot of his previous gunshot and stab wounds. TC’s amazed – and confused – Cassidy doesn’t have any scars, and Cassidy, realizing he’s said too much, explains he’s very limber.
Tulip has a chat with Jesse (Dominic Cooper), revealing she’s been talking to God. She also confesses she’s going to kick God’s ass next time she sees him. Tulip’s ready to leave, but Jesse still can’t leave Angelville because of Gran’ma. When Tulip suggests she can take care of the old lady, Jesse warns her not to mess with Gran’ma because she’s too dangerous.
Jody (Jeremy Childs) interrupts Tulip and Jesse, and TC gets Jody to thinking when he says Cassidy’s a fast healer.
Jesse stops in Cassidy’s room before heading to church with Jody and reminds him that TC and Jody will find out he’s a vampire if he heals too fast. He calls Cassidy his best friend and they get into an argument over whether Jesse’s ever said that before. (He hasn’t.) Jesse sincerely believes Cassidy’s his best friend and wants him to leave immediately. If they find out he’s a vampire, they’ll hang him in the sun until he burns to a crisp.
“I’m a bloody vampire in voodoo Disneyland. I should be their main attraction,” says Cassidy. Jesse tries to explain magic and being a “monster” are two very different things in Angelville. Cassidy takes offense at the use of the word monster and refuses to leave without Tulip. Jesse’s forced to stab him where the bullet entered to fool TC and Jody. Jesse also takes Cassidy’s remaining blood bags, just to make sure the wound doesn’t heal too quickly.
After Jody and Jesse leave, Tulip pays a visit to Gran’ma’s room. She spots the photo of baby Jesse and then munches on a hot pepper while continuing to look around. Picking the lock on a file cabinet, Tulip discovers drawers full of napkins soaked in blood.
The reason for Jesse and Jody’s visit to the church becomes clear as Jesse tries to convince an attendee at a narcotics anonymous meeting to come to Angelville to fix his addiction. Madame L’Angell can perform a clean and sober spell if the man’s interested. It turns out the addict’s only interested in visiting Angelville if the Tombs have been reopened. Otherwise, he’d pay a visit to Madame Boyd – like everyone else – if he wanted to use a spell to end his addiction.
After Jesse strikes out, Jody reminds him they have plenty of other places they can try to recruit customers. Jesse wants Jody to help him escape, believing he owes him that because of his mom. Jody refuses, making his point by punching Jesse in the face.
Back at Angelville, Tulip’s working on getting details about Gran’ma from TC by agreeing to check out his penis. She hints around about what’s going on at Angelville, and TC explains the napkins are blood debt compacts. TC elaborates, saying they’re a “solemn exchange of promises between parties.”
TC reveals the only way to get out of the compact is to pay off the debt. He then figures out Tulip’s working him for answers and recalls a story from years ago when a man tried to end his wife’s contract early. After giving Madame L’Angell money and other valuables, she handed over his wife’s bloody napkin. When he tore it in half, it ripped his poor wife in two.
The moral of the story is taking possession of the napkin doesn’t put an end to the contract. The debt is only paid when Madame L’Angell says it is.
TC likes Tulip so he gives her a friendly warning: don’t mess with Madame L’Angell. Tulip appreciates the warning and volunteers to touch TC’s penis as a thank you. TC whips it out and Tulip uses force to get TC to answer her question. TC’s in pain when he explains only magic/voodoo can get Jesse out of the contract.
It’s now Cassidy’s turn to have a talk with Gran’ma (Betty Buckley) and he wants to know why she hasn’t healed herself since she’s a healer. Gran’ma knows Cassidy wants something and Cassidy admits he’s not leaving without the love spell.
Gran’ma provides Cassidy with the spell just as Jesse and Jody arrive home. Jesse lets Gran’ma know Madame Boyd has taken control of the area and no one wants to visit Angelville. She reminds him he can reopen the Tombs if he wants to pay his debt off quicker so he can leave. Jesse’s adamant that’s not going to happen.
Jesse’s worried when Gran’ma reveals Cassidy came to her for a talk.
That night, Cassidy steps outside to hunt a chicken for dinner. TC catches him sucking the chicken’s blood, confirming his suspicions.
Tulip’s still gone when Jesse hears TC and Jody hooting and hollering out in the woods. They have Cassidy strung up and are going to leave him hanging until the sun rises and incinerates him. Jesse pleads innocence, claiming not to have known Cassidy was a vampire.

Tulip pays a visit to Madame Boyd, explaining her boyfriend, Rich, is stuck there because of a blood compact. She wants a cure from Madame Boyd, and the assistant invites her in to see her boss.
Tulip’s seated in front of who she believes is Madame Boyd, going through her story once again when the “assistant” asks how Jesse got into the blood compact. Tulip corrects her, saying her boyfriend’s name is Rich, but the assistant knows that’s a lie. Tulip beats up the security guard and tries to make a run for it by jumping out a window. When she’s tossed back in, she realizes the assistant is actually Madame Boyd. Madame Boyd knows exactly who Tulip is, and Tulip quickly draws her gun by means of introduction.
Back at Angelville, Jesse has paying customers down in the Tombs. He plays ringmaster as he introduces two merciless monsters fighting for their lives. One is a pedophile science teacher, the other is Cassidy who Jesse describes as a “backstabbing piece of shit vampire.”
The crowd cheers as the men begin to fight. Jesse watches, expressionless.
