Netflix announced Oscar nominee Diane Lane and Oscar nominee Greg Kinnear have joined the cast of the critically acclaimed, award-winning dramatic series, House of Cards. The announcement of the new cast members came as season six – the show’s final season – resumed production after a three month hiatus. The break in production came as the result of multiple claims of sexual harassment against Kevin Spacey who was ultimately removed from the Netflix series.

The eight-episode sixth season cast also includes Michael Kelly, Jayne Atkinson, Patricia Clarkson, Constance Zimmer, Derek Cecil, Campbell Scott, and Boris McGiver.
House of Cards season six is executive produced by Melissa James Gibson, Frank Pugliese, Robin Wright, David Fincher, Joshua Donen, Dana Brunetti, Eric Roth, Michael Dobbs, and Andrew Davies. The popular political drama was created by Beau Willimon.

“Are you guys okay?” asks Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker). “Okay? Okay?! We’re two inches tall, Caitlin,” yells back a very tiny Cisco (Carlos Valdes) after he and Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) are miniaturized by a new meta-human in season four episode 12 of The CW’s The Flash.
As the episode begins, Joe (Jesse L. Martin) and Cecile (Danielle Nicolet) are building a crib together when she realizes she can hear Joe’s thoughts. Surprised and a little freaked out, they head S.T.A.R. Labs where Caitlin runs tests on the baby. She tells the anxious couple the baby is fine and there are no traces of any dark matter in the womb, so their baby is not a meta.
After Cecile reads everyone’s minds on how this might be happening, and reads Caitlin’s about the baby being a girl, Caitlin theorizes that Cecile’s pregnancy most likely woke up some residual dark matter in her brain from the first accelerator explosion. Caitlin thinks it will most likely dissipate after the child is born.
A frustrated Harry (Tom Cavanagh) reminds the team they need to be working to find a way to get Barry out of prison.
In Iron Heights, Barry’s playing cards with a few inmates and winning. When the game breaks up, Barry and Big Sir (Bill Goldberg) get to talking about why Sir is doing time. It seems 15 years ago he was arrested for the murder of a security guard. Big Sir tells Barry he didn’t do it and that he actually tried to save the guard but the cops took one look at him and decided he was the guy. So, Barry reaches out to Joe and asks him and Team Flash to look into Big Sir’s case.
Over in another part of the city, the new mayor is giving a short speech about the opening of a new building when suddenly it seems to disappear. Only, it’s not really gone; it has been downsized, as in shrunk by a meta-human named Sylbert Rundin (Derek Mears).
Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Team Flash is debating whether or not to investigate Big Sir’s case or if it’s just a waste of time. Harry speaks up and says they have to do it for Allen because it’s the first thing he has asked for since being locked up. It isn’t even for him – it’s for an inmate who might also be innocent. After a little digging, they come up with Sylbert Rundin as a possible person of interest. Cisco and Ralph join Joe as they head out to talk to Sylbert.
Back at Iron Heights, Barry tells Big Sir he has his friends looking into his case and Sir’s not pleased. Big Sir reveals to Barry that he’s learned to live without hope and that hope, especially false hope, is a very dangerous thing to a man doing time.
Joe, Cisco, and Ralph visit Rundin at his apartment and notice his “collectible small figures.” When Joe asks Rundin about a robbery 15 years ago, he makes a break for it by jumping out the window while wearing a parachute. Cisco breaches himself, Joe, and Ralph to the alley to stop Rundin. As they try to take Rundin down, he uses his powers to shrink poor Cisco and Ralph.
At S.T.A.R. Labs, Caitlin and Harry are trying to figure out a way to return Cisco and Ralph back to normal size when Iris (Candice Patton) arrives with some news. Seems Rundin got his powers because he stole some of Ray Palmer’s Dwarfstar and rode the bus the same day Barry came out of the Speed Force. The gang realize that Rundin and Sir looked enough alike 15 years ago to be mistaken for each other and that Rundin is the one who murdered the security guard.
Harry tweaks Cisco’s bazooka to try to make it an unshrinking gun, but when he tries it out on the two little guys it doesn’t work. What does happen, unfortunately, is that the blast from the bazooka makes Cisco’s and Ralph’s molecules unstable. Caitlin realizes they only have about 10 hours to fix the two before they explode. “But I don’t want to go boom,” says Ralph.
At Iron Heights, the Warden has noticed that Barry and Big Sir have gotten to be friends so he approaches Barry telling him he got a call to have Big Sir’s files ready and that the case is being looked at again. Warden Wolfe warns Barry not to get Big Sir’s hopes up because it could be bad for his health if it goes wrong.
Meanwhile, Iris notices a strain on Joe’s and Cecile’s relationship since Cecile started reading minds. She suggests they visit the same counselor she and Barry went to (Really?! Those sessions never helped her and Barry. What is Iris thinking?!) In perhaps the funniest scene in the episode, Joe and Cecile go to the therapist which backfires terribly when Cecile starts reading the counselor’s mind and realizes she’s making up her grocery list. Joe finally admits to Cecile that he has to deliberately block her from reading his mind with the image of a pink elephant. He feels violated when she reads his mind.
Barry informs Big Sir that his friends have found the real killer. They’ll catch him soon and it’s only a matter of time before he’s a free man. Barry asks him if he has any plans when he gets out, and Big Sir tells him since he has no family he’ll probably go to Jiaju, China, his idea of paradise.
Meanwhile, Harry’s furious with himself for not being able to figure out a way to return Cisco and Ralph to normal size and for not being able to out-think The Thinker, DeVoe. Cisco gives him a pep talk, telling him he needs to stop being his own problem and to focus. While talking, Harry and Cisco realize the way to restore them back to their correct size is to get blasted by Rundin again. The gang get a hit on Rundin who’s at the CCWC museum.
Harry and Iris go together to face Rundin while Cisco and Ralph fly on a drone to try to make sure to get hit by Rundin’s blast. Caitlin stays behind at S.T.A.R. Labs, trying to come up with a cure for Cisco and Ralph in case it doesn’t work. After a few missed attempts, Harry confronts Rundin and tries to shoot him with a laser. Rundin tells Harry he’s going to shrink him to the smallest atom and blasts him, but Cisco and Ralph breached into Harry’s pocket and they’re hit by the blast and returned to normal size – just in time. Iris shoots Rundin with the power-reducing neck brace and he falls to his knees. Joe promises Rundin he’ll get him a good deal with the D.A. if he confesses to the murder of the security guard 15 years ago, but Rundin laughs and says he would rather rot.
Joe calls Barry with the bad news and Barry explains what happened to Big Sir, apologizing for getting his hopes up and for letting him down. Sir smiles at Barry and tells him he didn’t. He’d forgotten what it was like to have hope and that it’s “not such a bad thing.” Later that night, Barry’s in his cell and when the motion camera turns away he speeds out and speeds Big Sir out of iron Heights and drops him off in Jiaju, China. Big Sir, stunned, looks at a little note in his hand from Barry that reads: “Sometimes you do get the movie ending.”
Over at Joe’s house, Cecile and Joe have a heart-to-heart and he tells her how uncomfortable it is for him that she can read all his thoughts, especially the dumb and embarrassing ones. Cecile assures him she could never think less of him and reveals some of her own silly and goofy thoughts. They end up smiling at each other and admit as long as they love each other that’s what matters.
Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, the team’s feeling good about their win but not Harry who reminds them that all of it goes back to DeVoe’s plan. A plan they haven’t figured out yet but that they need to and get Barry out of prison.
In Iron Heights, Warden Wolfe visits Barry in his cell and tells him he had a new camera installed watching Barry’s cell and he knows he’s The Flash. Before Barry can deny it, he starts to feel dizzy. The Warden admits to drugging the pudding Barry was eating. Barry passes out and the Warden puts him in a new meta-human cell on a different level of the prison. The Warden calls Amunet Black (Katee Sackhoff) telling her he’s ready to do business.
The Flash Season 4 Episode 12 Review:
Light, comical, but not all that original, season four episode 12 titled “Honey, I Shrunk Team Flash” seems to take most of its ideas and plot points from big-screen films such as Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Ant-Man, and The Shawshank Redemption. In the producers’ and writers’ attempts to lighten the show’s tone and get away from the dark and depressing feel of the third season, the series is becoming too campy and silly for its own good.
The special effects do however shine in this episode that deals with showing two-inch tall versions of Cisco and Ralph talking to and interacting with normal-sized Harry, Caitlin, Joe, and Iris. Once again, the effects team more than pull it off. This series really should be nominated for an Emmy for special effects. It’s trying and accomplishing wonderfully visuals and effects on television that no other show has ever dared to try.
With Warden Wolfe about to sell Barry to Amunet, here’s hoping that Team Flash will be fast enough to come to the aid of our hero. Maybe Killer Frost can help Barry break out of prison before he ends up on the black market.

Amazon Prime Video will be making their Super Bowl ad debut with a new trailer for the action series, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. The ad is scheduled to air immediately following the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Justin Timberlake. The 60-second video is backed by Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” performed by Devlin featuring Ed Sheeran. The voices of U.S. presidents John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Ronald Reagan can be heard as Jack Ryan handles one dangerous situation after another.
The series is based on Tom Clancy’s bestselling books and will premiere on the streaming service on August 31, 2018. Season one consists of eight one-hour episodes.
“Given the colossal scope and scale of the series coupled with the popularity of Tom Clancy’s novels, we knew Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan would be a natural fit for Prime Video’s first Super Bowl ad,” said Mike Benson, Head of Marketing for Amazon Studios. “The global nature of the audience provides us with a unique opportunity to give viewers a look at this thrilling new series coming to Prime.”
The Office‘s John Krasinski stars as Jack Ryan, Wendell Pierce (Ray Donovan) as James Greer, and Abbie Cornish (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) as Cathy Mueller.
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is executive produced by Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel), John Krasinski, Oscar nominee Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game), Michael Bay, Graham Roland (Almost Human), Andrew Form (Transformers), Brad Fuller, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation), Marcy Ross (Grace and Frankie), and Mace Neufeld (Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger). Cuse also serves as the series’ showrunner, Tyldum directed the pilot, and Roland wrote the pilot from a story he developed with Cuse.
The Plot: With an original storyline while still maintaining the fan-favorite characters, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is an action-packed CIA thriller that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats through every twist and turn. Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is a reinvention with a modern sensibility of the famed and lauded Tom Clancy hero played by John Krasinski. The series centers on Jack Ryan, an up-and-coming CIA analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time. The series follows the titular character as he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale.
A red ballcap reading not “Make America Great Again” but instead “The First Purge” is the lone image on the teaser poster for the fourth The Purge film. Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions just released the teaser poster which confirms the horror film’s official title. Universal and Blumhouse also confirmed the next entry in The Purge series will follow along with the franchise’s tradition of a summertime release, targeting a planned July 4, 2018 theatrical release date.
The First Purge was directed by Gerard McMurray (Burning Sands) with franchise creator James DeMonaco (writer/director of The Purge, The Purge: Anarchy, and The Purge: Election Year) once again writing the screenplay. Blumhouse Productions’ Jason Blum (the Insidious film series, the Paranormal Activity film franchise, Get Out, Split), Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ouija series), and DeMonaco’s producing partner Sébastien K. Lemercier (Assault on Precinct 13, Four Lovers) are producing The Purge prequel. Steve Molen, Jeanette Volturno, and Couper Samuelson are on board as executive producers.

To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the marginalized, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.

Meghan Markle will be a little too busy with wedding plans and joining the Royal Family to take part in another season of USA Network’s Suits. Patrick J. Adams is also exiting the series which has now been officially renewed for an eighth season.
Adams and Markle aren’t returning, however Gabriel Macht (Harvey Specter), Sarah Rafferty (Donna Paulsen), Rick Hoffman (Louis Litt), and Dulé Hill (Alex Williams) will be back for season eight. Suits creator and executive producer Aaron Korsh is also on board for the upcoming season.
“After seven seasons, Suits remains one of USA Network’s most beloved and popular series,” stated Chris McCumber, President, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “While we’re excited for Season 8, everyone at USA will deeply miss Patrick and Meghan, and are grateful for the talent and commitment they brought to Suits season after season. We wish each of them nothing but the very best.”
“I would like to thank Patrick and Meghan for their extraordinary contributions over the last seven years. Not only have they been outstanding in their roles as Mike and Rachel, they are also superb human beings who will always be beloved members of the Suits family, and we wish them well in their days to come,” said Aaron Korsh. “Speaking of days to come, I am incredibly excited to welcome back our phenomenal crew and cast – Gabriel, Sarah, Rick and Dulé – who will continue the roller coaster ride with all of our amazing fans. Season 8 will have everything from shifting alliances and internal power plays, to secrets, betrayals and fiery relationships. Keep an eye out for an adversarial new character that will give Harvey a run for his money.”
In addition to announcing the season eight renewal, USA Network confirmed the second half of Suits season seven will premiere on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 at 9pm ET/PT. Season seven will finish up with a 2-hour season finale on Wednesday, April 25th, and the finale will be the official goodbye to the characters Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) and Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle).
The Plot:Suits began when legendary hotshot lawyer Harvey Specter took a gamble by hiring Mike Ross, a brilliant, but not-so-legitimate college dropout, as an associate at his prolific Manhattan law firm. Nearly seven seasons later, this dynamic duo along with Louis, Donna and Rachel have become a family intertwined in one another’s triumphs and tribulations.
When the back half of Season 7 returns, Harvey must deal with the aftermath of Jessica (Gina Torres) losing her license, while trying to process how the kiss with Donna will affect his relationship with Paula (Christina Cole). Mike tries to juggle his commitment to the firm, his passion for pro bono work, and his engagement to Rachel. All the while, Louis struggles with right and wrong as his torrid affair with Sheila (Rachael Harris) deepens.
Zachary Quinto examines unexplained phenomena in HISTORY’s ‘In Search Of.’ (Photo Credit: An Rong Xu)
Zachary Quinto (Star Trek, Heroes) will executive produce and host History’s In Search Of. The unscripted series is inspired by the classic show of the same name and, just like the 1970s series, will delve into unexplained phenomena from across the globe. The original series was hosted by Leonard Nimoy following Rod Serling’s death, and it seems only fitting the new show is also hosted by an actor who’s played Spock in the Star Trek franchise.
History’s given the unscripted series an order for a 10 episode first season.
“I am so excited to be reimagining In Search Of and exploring new questions and phenomena with all of the advancements in science and technology from which we have benefitted in the past forty years since the original series first aired,” said Quinto. “In the spirit of my late dear friend Leonard Nimoy, we intend to honor and perpetuate his endless curiosity about the world – and universe – in which we live. Our director Eddie Schmidt and our partners at Propagate, Universal Television Alternative Studio and FremantleMedia International have ignited the process with enthusiasm and intelligence, and HISTORY is the perfect home for this unique and compelling series.”
“In the ‘70s and ‘80s, the legendary Leonard Nimoy captivated viewers by transporting them through the world of unsolved mysteries and paranormal phenomena,” stated Eli Lehrer, Executive Vice President of Programming, HISTORY. “To this day, the investigations conducted in this series remain relevant and a source of public obsession. Now with Zachary’s passion and prevalence in the science fiction genre, the groundbreaking series is back for a new audience.”
In Search Of is a Propagate Content, Universal Television Alternative Studio, and Before the Door Pictures production. Ben Silverman, Howard Owens, Brett-Patrick Jenkins, Eddie Schmidt, and Zachary Behr are executive producing.
The Plot: From the mythical to the scientific, each episode will follow Quinto as he investigates a different subject within a dynamic theme – such as alien encounters, mysterious creatures, UFO sightings, time travel and artificial intelligence – and searches for the truth to some of the world’s greatest mysteries. In Search Of will explore enigmas told through the eyes of witnesses and scholars with a personal connection to the phenomenon and include immersive demonstrations and experiments that contextualize each episode’s theme.
One viewing of the new trailer for Netflix’s Mute will leave you no closer to understanding what the film’s about than you were before you watched the two-minute video. Even so, the trailer’s completely captivating.
Mute comes from director Duncan Jones and is much closer in tone to his Moon and Source Code than his video game-inspired Warcraft. Jones co-wrote the sci-fi thriller’s script with Michael Robert Johnson (Pompeii, Late Shift). Stuart Fenegan. Charles J.D. Schissel, and Trevor Beattie served as executive producers.
The cast of Mute is led by Alexander Skarsgård (Big Little Lies, True Blood), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man and the Wasp, Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later), and Justin Theroux (The Leftovers, The Girl on the Train). The ensemble also includes Robert Sheehan, Seyneb Saleh, Gilbert Owuor, and Noel Clarke.
Netflix is planning a February 23, 2018 premiere.
Describing the project while it was filming, writer/director Duncan Jones said, “Mute is an encapsulation of everything I am fascinated by; noir, science fiction, and unique people in trouble because of who and what they are. I’m delighted to be able to return to Berlin for the shoot, a place I lived for a period of time growing up, and I’m excited to be working with Netflix on a film that is so close to my heart.”
The Plot: Berlin, the future, but close enough to feel familiar: In this loud, often brutal city, Leo (Alexander Skarsgård) – unable to speak from a childhood accident – searches for his missing girlfriend, the love of his life, his salvation, through dark streets, frenzied plazas, and the full spectrum of the cities shadow-dwellers. As he seeks answers, Leo finds himself mixed up with Cactus Bill (Paul Rudd) and Duck (Justin Theroux), a pair of irreverent US army surgeons on a mission all their own. This soulful sci-fi journey from filmmaker Duncan Jones imagines a world of strange currencies in which echoes of love and humanity are still worth listening to.
