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.”

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.
The cast of The First Purge includes Y’Lan Noel (The Hustle), Lex Scott Davis (Training Day the series), Joivan Wade (EastEnders), Luna Lauren Velez (How to Get Away with Murder), and Marisa Tomei (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Empire).
The Plot: Behind every tradition lies a revolution. Next Independence Day, witness the rise of our country’s 12 hours of annual lawlessness. Welcome to the movement that began as a simple experiment: The First Purge.
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 (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.

After making a deal with the Devil in Lucifer season three episode 12, Cain/Lt. Marcus Pierce (Tom Welling) pays a visit to Lucifer’s place. Lucifer (Tom Ellis) has a chainsaw but Cain knows that won’t kill him and neither will being eaten by wolves, falling into a volcano, or swallowing a grenade. Nothing works, and Cain is sure of that since he’s been trying to kill himself for thousands of years.
Lucifer really wants to get back at his dad, but even heaving a demon blade from Hell into Cain’s back doesn’t do the trick. The blade can kill Lucifer, but it can’t kill Cain. Cain, frustrated and unfortunately still alive, gives up and leaves.
Chloe (Lauren German) and Dan (Kevin Alejandro) meet up at a crime scene that happens to be near a house they considered buying years ago. Back then it didn’t have a dead chemistry teacher in a woodchipper sitting nearby. The neighbors can’t believe someone did this to June and claim everyone loved her.
Lucifer asks Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) for help with a solution on how to kill Cain. She shows off her torture instruments, but even she can’t believe her blades don’t work on Cain. Maze suggests he figure out why Chloe makes him vulnerable, reminding him his dear old dad is all about “mind games and loopholes.”
Lucifer takes Maze’s advice and decides to get inside – not literally, much to Maze’s disappointment – Cain’s head. He turns Lt. Marcus Pierce’s office into his own private doctor’s office, using what he’s learned from Dr. Linda to probe Pierce. Marcus tries to throw Lucifer out, but Lucifer refuses to leave. He explains he has to understand Cain to kill him, sure everyone has a kryptonite. Pierce, however, refuses to play along.
Chloe’s happy Pierce is sticking around, covering her overly enthusiastic reaction to the news by saying she needs his help on the woodchipper case. Turns out June isn’t really June; she’s actually a woman named Sandra who died three years ago. Lucifer’s equally as enthusiastic as Chloe to get to work so closely with Pierce on this new case, hoping he’ll learn more about what makes him tick. (Love the scenes with Tom Ellis and Tom Welling! More of these, please, Lucifer writers.)
Chloe, Pierce, and Lucifer go over the crime scene photos and explore Sandra’s past. She had a rap sheet and could have been on the run when she faked her own death. Dan arrives to let them know Sandra was a chemist and had a recipe for KPop (ecstasy) on her computer. She was cooking KPop for a gang called the Korean Power. And Lucifer, of course, confirms KPop’s still on the market. “It’s wonderful stuff. It makes your skin feel like a baby chinchilla,” says Lucifer while Chloe can only shake her head.
Lucifer arranges a meeting with an ecstasy dealer.
Elsewhere in the station, Maze is looking for new criminals to catch and torture when she gets a whiff of Charlotte (Tricia Helfer). Maze informs Charlotte she used to know her, but Charlotte has no memory of ever meeting the leather-clad Maze. Maze reveals Charlotte smells different, describing the new smell as wonderful. Maze breathes deeply inches from Charlotte’s skin, invading her personal space while declaring Charlotte smells incredible.
Over at Lux, Lucifer’s slightly disappointed when Chloe arrives for the meeting without Pierce. He informs Chloe that Pierce stayed because of him, but Chloe – as per usual – believes Lucifer’s delusional.
It turns out Lucifer’s bartender is the ecstasy dealer and he tells Chloe he gets KPop from the Korean Power. The bartender says the lady who cooked the drugs stole from the gang and so there was a hit out on her. Her lab blew up in a freak accident before the gang could get to her. He also reveals the boss is Brandon Hong (Steve Suh) and he’s usually at a local karaoke parlor.
Chloe refuses to follow the bartender’s lead without going through proper channels, reminding Lucifer they can’t just show up and go, “Hello, drug dealers!” Of course, that’s exactly what Lucifer does without Chloe as backup.
Lucifer asks for the boss and then easily takes down the minions, all without breaking a sweat. He fights his way through to the boss and then reveals he’s there to help him.
Brandon Hong shows up at the police station, meeting with a dismayed Chloe who doesn’t understand how he knew they wanted to speak to him. He also confesses he runs the Korean Power and that the gang specializes in drug dealing and extortion. He also claims they didn’t kill Sandra and that he actually fell for the lab explosion bit and assumed she was dead.
Brandon continues with his confession, admitting Sandra called him to pay back the money she stole, with interest. He forgave the theft but didn’t forgive her for leaving. She was the best cook they had and his profits have gone down since she left. He’s even okay with being arrested for confessing to felonies if it helps find Sandra’s killer.
After the interrogation, Chloe asks Lucifer if he paid Brandon a visit against her orders. He admits it, saying he gave Brandon the KPop formula in exchange for his cooperation. When Chloe gets upset, Lucifer reminds her no one wants inferior product on the streets ruining orgies. Since they have Brandon, Lucifer wants to involve Pierce. Unfortunately, Chloe says no to Pierce’s involvement.
Chloe and Lucifer go through the evidence again and try and figure out how Sandra made her money. They discover she was making drugs and selling them on her own.
Finally, Lucifer gets his way and they consult Pierce. Lucifer says Sandra’s not cooking ecstasy but more like a really smooth Adderall, sniffing as he describes it. (Pierce can’t believe Lucifer snorted the evidence.) Chloe thinks someone in the neighborhood was upset the drugs were being sold there and killed her.
So, long story short, Lucifer and Pierce act like a couple (and look too adorable while doing so), renting a house in Sandra’s neighborhood. Lucifer takes this couple thing super seriously while Pierce just isn’t into it at all. He keeps resorting to his “resting Pierce face,” as Lucifer has dubbed it.
Over dinner with Anya (Audrey Moore) and Brian (Paul Fitzgerald), a couple from the neighborhood, Lucifer reveals he and his husband met through his dad. He also says his dad would disapprove of their relationship, while Pierce tries to make Lucifer keep his hands to himself.
Meanwhile, Dan and Charlotte have a dinner date at a nice restaurant. It’s interrupted by Maze who greets Charlotte with, “Hi, sexy.” Maze is there because she wants a threesome, and Charlotte wonders if they’ve done that before. They haven’t but Dan agrees to one now, if Charlotte’s into it.
Back at Lucifer and Pierce’s place, they learn there’s a neighborhood watchdog who’s been leaving threatening notes and basically terrorizing the block. Anya and Brian don’t know who it is, but the notes are for things like holiday décor, loud music, and trimming unruly hedges.

Maze and Charlotte have a moment alone, and Maze figures out it’s pain and torment she can smell on Charlotte. Charlotte says since she almost died, she’s been trying to get her life back to normal. Maze says normal doesn’t interest her and blows off the threesome.
Chloe’s been listening in and she watches the neighbors leave Lucifer’s house. She talks to Lucifer over the walkie-talkie as Lucifer yells at Pierce that he has to do the dishes. Lucifer tells Chloe not to worry, he can draw out the neighborhood watchdog.
The next day, Lucifer has lovely ladies in bikinis over for drinks in the front yard. They play in the sprinklers as he cranks up the music while wearing patriotic briefs and a tank top. That night, he saws things in the garage at 4am, attempting to become the most annoying neighbor on the block. Pierce unplugs the saw and the two get into it, with Lucifer demanding Pierce open up to him.
Chloe tries to reach them as she sees someone approaching. They’re fighting and don’t hear the walkie-talkie so she’s forced into chasing down the neighbor. It turns out to be Lucifer and Pierce’s dinner guest, Brian.
Brian’s brought in and he claims he’s just helping the police. He also claims he didn’t kill June and that he was her best customer. That’s how he had the energy to patrol at night, build a deck, and lose 40 pounds. He also says most of the neighborhood bought from June. The threatening note to her isn’t in his handwriting. Plus, he would have sawed the body up before putting it in the chipper.
Fortunately, Lucifer and Pierce’s cover is still intact so they throw a party, complete with a guest book. As the party gets underway, Lucifer complains he’s the only one putting any effort into it this relationship. (They previously argued over onion peels going into the disposal.) Their fight brings the party guests in close, with Pierce saying he’s only there because he has to be and that Lucifer makes everything all about him. Pierce also tells Lucifer he’s not a man of his word. The guests watch in shock as Lucifer storms out.
Chloe chases Lucifer down the street, reminding him he can’t leave in the middle of a sting. “I just can’t be around him right now,” says Lucifer, taking off his vest and looking perturbed. Chloe says people getting on each other’s nerves always happens in sting operations. She also says Pierce does care about what matters and begs him to go back to the party and get the signatures.
Lucifer returns and watches as Pierce rearranges food on the table the way that Lucifer wants it. He also sees Pierce adjust a party decoration. They make up while once again the guests look on. Lucifer reminds Pierce he’s a man of his word and even admits he doesn’t have all the answers. He hopes they can find them together. “After all, you may be the only person on this planet that truly understands me. I’m not ready to give up on that,” says Lucifer. The guests react with awws.
Lucifer grabs Pierce and plants an enormous kiss on his lips. Chloe, watching on the video monitor, gets up and looks out the window as the kiss continues. She assures them their cover is officially restored before reminding them to check the guest book for a matching signature.
Lucifer takes the book around, asking those who haven’t signed to do so. When he asks Brian’s wife, Brian stops her before she can write anything. Pierce attempts to stop the couple from leaving, and Brian grabs a pair of hedge trimmers. He tells everyone to stay back.
Chloe arrives and explains Brian saw his wife’s handwriting at the police station and knows she’s the killer. He’s trying to protect her now, but it won’t work. Anya thinks he was having an affair with June since he was always sneaking around with her and lost so much weight. She confronted June, but June denied it. She shoved June and hit her head, accidentally killing her.
Lucifer pipes up, saying Brian was just buying pills from June so he could lose weight. Brian wanted to go back to being the guy his wife fell in love with years ago. They hug and then Chloe slaps handcuffs on the couple.
Back at the station, Charlotte apologizes to Dan for their dinner. She admits she’s a mess and doesn’t feel normal yet. Dan says they’ve never been normal and he’s okay with that. He confesses he likes her and that he can wait if she needs time to sort things out.
Case solved, Chloe invites Pierce out for drinks with the gang. Pierce declines the offer and then tells her there can’t be anything romantic between them. “We deal with death every day. Everybody’s going to die; some day you’ll die,” says Pierce. Chloe understands but wants to know if they did have a moment in the surveillance van when she asked him to stay in LA. Pierce agrees they did share a moment, and that’s why he’s telling her now he’s not relationship material.
That evening, Lucifer asks Cain over and reveals he’s got him figured out. He knows Cain won’t get close to anyone because they’ll eventually die. Lucifer has figured out Cain wants to die because he doesn’t want to be alone anymore. But Cain has his own thoughts on Lucifer to share. He thinks Lucifer’s hanging out with him because he’s the only other celestial being around that Lucifer’s dad has screwed with. “You are the one who doesn’t want to be alone,” says Cain, and Lucifer decides it’s nice to have a friend.
Cain tells Lucifer it’s hard not to get attached while they’re on earth. Lucifer reminds Cain they both must be equally committed to finding a way to kill him, and Cain makes Lucifer happy by allowing him to see if death by chainsaw will work.
Netflix has just released the official trailer and poster for When We First Met starring Adam Devine (the Pitch Perfect films, Workaholics). The romantic comedy was directed by The Duff‘s Ari Sandel from a script by John Whittington. Netflix has set a February 9, 2018 premiere date.
In addition to Adam Devine, the When We First Met cast includes Alexandra Daddario, Robbie Amell, Shelley Hennig, and Andrew Bachelor. Mason Novick, Michelle Knudsen, Adam Saunders, Mary Viola, and McG served as producers.
“This movie is really about fate and the differences between fate and choices – the choices you make and what they can do to you and the people around you. What if you meet the person of your dreams, and you blow it? You put yourself in the friend zone before you even have a chance to go on a real first date. What do you do? My character wishes there was some way he could change his luck. To go back in time and do something different – be the kind of guy that Avery (Alexandra Daddario) would actually be with,” said Adam Devine.
Director Sandel offered this description of the rom-com: “This is a movie about a guy who fell in love with a girl on the first date, had the greatest night ever, didn’t really make his move, and for the next three years has been regretting it. In his mind, she’s about to marry the wrong guy, and he finds a time machine to go back and relive that first date to get it right. But every time he goes back, he screws it up worse. That, to me, is the essence of the film – what if you get a second chance, but every time you go back to get the second chance, you screw it up even more?”
The Plot: Noah (Adam Devine) spends the perfect first night with Avery (Alexandra Daddario), the girl of his dreams, but gets relegated to the friend zone. He spends the next three years wondering what went wrong – until he gets the unexpected chance to travel back in time and alter that night – and his fate – over and over again. Will Noah ever get it right?
