The sixth season of USA Network’s dramatic series Suits will kick off on Wednesday, July 13, 2016 at 9pm ET/PT with Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams returning in starring roles. Guest stars for the upcoming season of Suits will include Erik Palladino (ER), Paul Schulze (Nurse Jackie), and Malcolm Jamal Warner (American Crime: The People vs. OJ Simpson).
The popular series was created by Aaron Korsh and Korsh executive produces along with Doug Liman (Mr. & Mrs. Smith), David Bartis (Covert Affairs), Gene Klein, Daniel Arkin (90210), and Rick Muirragui (Men of a Certain Age).
Suits season five averaged 3.7 million viewers and was USA Network’s top original series. The award-winning critically acclaimed Mr. Robot will follow Suits on the network’s primetime lineup, airing at 10pm ET/PT.
The Plot: For the past five seasons, Suits has centered on the fast-paced Manhattan corporate law firm, Pearson Specter Litt, led by legendary lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and his not-so-legitimate associate Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), but after last season’s dramatic turn of events, everything has changed. Season six begins immediately following the events of the shocking season five cliffhanger that left Mike behind bars. After signing a plea deal to spare his colleagues at Pearson Specter Litt, Mike will be confronted with the harsh realities of prison life as he starts his two-year sentence.
Meanwhile, the once bustling Pearson Specter Litt offices are a ghost town – the partners have defected, leaving Harvey, Jessica (Gina Torres), Louis (Rick Hoffman), Donna (Sarah Rafferty) and Rachel (Meghan Markle) to pick up the pieces. But the firm’s troubles are far from over and they will have to deal with the fallout from Mike’s crime before they can even begin to rebuild.

Tim Matheson (The West Wing) and Cynthia Nixon (Sex and the City) are confirmed to play Ronald and Nancy Reagan in National Geographic Channel’s Killing Reagan, a two-more movie based on Bill O’Reilly’s bestselling book. Rod Lurie (The Contender) is attached to direct from a script by Eric Simonson.
“With this fourth installment of the highly successful Killing franchise, we are, along with our partners, Bill O’Reilly and Scott Free Productions, going to use the assassination attempt as a crucible to tell the fascinating and compelling story of Ronald Reagan and his lasting impact on the global stage,” stated Carolyn Bernstein, NGC executive vice president. “We’re delighted to have Tim and Cynthia on board to bring this story to life during an unpredictable and historic election year.”
Filming is expected to begin this month, and NGC is aiming for a fall 2016 premiere. O’Reilly and Scott Free Productions’ Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, and Mary Lisio are on board as executive producers. Killing Reagan marks the fourth collaboration between NGC, Scott Free Productions, and O’Reilly after successful adaptations of Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, and Killing Jesus.
“Even nearly 30 years after his presidency, and more than 10 years after his death, Ronald Reagan’s mark on American politics and the global geopolitical landscape, through both his actions and his policies, still reverberates today,” said Bill O’Reilly. “There is much that can be learned by looking back at that riveting period in history.”
The Plot:Killing Reagan takes a different approach than its predecessors, exploring how the attempted assassination on the newly elected president impacted his time in office. From the final, hotly contested months leading up to his 1980 election, the movie explores Reagan’s journey to the nation’s highest office and the challenges he faced to define himself as a leader.
During this time, the mental health and obsessive tendencies of his would-be assassin, John Hinckley, unravel — leading up to that fateful day in 1981. The story is told in the same riveting fashion that has made best-sellers of O’Reilly’s first four books, and must-see hits of NGC’s movie adaptations. It will premiere on National Geographic Channel in the U.S. this fall, and around the world early next year in 170 countries and 45 languages.

Season two of MTV’s horror series Scream is set to premiere on May 30, 2016 with Willa Fitzgerald, Amadeus Serafini, Bex Taylor-Klaus, John Karna, Carlson Young, Tom Maden, and Austin Highsmith returning in starring roles. Season two kicks off with Emma’s return to Lakewood after spending a few months at a retreat in order to try and get over the brutal killings of her friends. Unfortunately, Lakewood isn’t going to be returning to its former peaceful state anytime soon as a killer is once again terrorizing Emma (Fitzgerald) and her friends.
In support of Scream season one’s release on DVD on May 10th and season two’s debut on May 30th, Amadeus Serafini took some time off from shooting to discuss what fans of the MTV series can expect from the upcoming season. He also talked about when he found out the killer’s identity in season one and how season two will expand on his character, Kieran’s, backstory.
Amadeus Serafini Interview:
Have you mastered the art now that you’re in season two of talking about the series without really talking about it, because you can’t give anything away? Was that hard throughout season one?
Amadeus Serafini: “If such a thing can be mastered, yeah. It was hard last season and it’s been hard this season. We actually just had our first bits of press – local and MTV stuff – but still we can’t share all that much, you know? They can’t print all that much yet. It makes it tough.”
When during season one did they let you know who the killer was?
Amadeus Serafini: “I didn’t know until very close to the end. It was that way with the rest of the cast as well, and they haven’t really changed their ways into the second season. It’s very, very much the usual suspects. It makes it challenging, definitely, but this season at least for my character – and for everyone’s character, but certainly my own – last season he was kind of not held back but slowly introduced as the new character. All of the other characters were a bit more established. So this time around we learn a lot more about him.”
Was there a point during season one when you were positive you were the killer?
Amadeus Serafini: “No. No. It’s funny, I keep getting asked that and I had my hopes. [Laughing] I think everyone would much rather be the killer rather than killed. I don’t know how long this is all going to go, I really don’t, but my fingers are crossed.”
You don’t get a heads up on how many episodes of season two’s 14 episodes you’ll be sticking around for?
Amadeus Serafini: “Right. I don’t know if I’m going to be there for all of it.”
How worried are you each time you open a script that you’ll read, “And now he’s dead?”
Amadeus Serafini: “I think we all hold our breath and we love saying this but it’s true… Whenever we get our new script of the next episode, we flip straight to the end and check to see if we’ve been killed off. It’s really hard to tell, but I think they’ve done a good job of not stretching the storyline but, you know, this is the show now – it’s not a movie – and 14 episodes is definitely an increase to the first season’s 10. But it’s not just horror, it’s not just slasher, it’s not just everyone getting killed off. There’s a lot of comedy at play and a lot of drama, and interpersonal stuff going on with the characters and of course between Emma and Kieran. As we’ll see he’s got a new family member coming to town. In fact, a couple new family members coming to town who kind of bring the dirt of his past to light, that makes Kieran perhaps a little more suspect as we learn about all of the characters and their flaws.”
Did they give you a backstory for season one or are you just learning about him as you go along?
Amadeus Serafini: “They did. There was a backstory; it was kind of just exclusively for me to work with and then it changed a little bit as we went into season two and it started explaining it to the audience. So, we just have to adjust a lot but that’s the nature of the whodunit.”
Can you tease anything about the relationship between Emma and Kieran this coming season?
Amadeus Serafini: “Yeah. It’ll be tumultuous. It’s going to fall off a little bit before it comes back. After that, I don’t even know.”
Are you the type of person who in real life would go into a haunted house and stay there walking around, even though you know freaky things are happening? Or are you the type of person who would bail at the first weird noise?
Amadeus Serafini: “It depends what kind of haunted we’re talking about. [Laughing] If it’s a squatter’s lodge, I would probably stick around and look. I think I’m more adventurous and skeptical enough to be led beyond superstition.”
Has being part of the Scream cast made you more of a horror fan than you were previously?
Amadeus Serafini: “Absolutely, especially since we have to get in touch with our directors’ materials. We have new directors every episode and these directors are typically of horror backgrounds. And so we, as a cast, we get together if we can and we watch at least one of each director’s movie. So for instance we have Leigh Janiak who will be directing our next episode and she did a movie called Honeymoon which was really brilliant. It’s really a slow-burn and a shocker. It’s not your typical horror. It’s not tons of blood and gore. It’s more psychological.”
And the cast really gets together to look at a director’s past films?
Amadeus Serafini: “Yeah, we definitely try to. We had our other director E.L. Katz who directed Cheap Thrills and that’s a crazy movie also worth checking out. I think Noah, played by John Karna my co-star, with all of his research he gets real method and kind of drags me down that rabbit hole, that horror rabbit hole, with his research.”
In season one you were able to channel your inner John Travolta and show off your Pulp Fiction dance moves. Are they having you do anything like that in season two? Do you get to show off any special skills this time around?
Amadeus Serafini: “Maybe some ass-kicking skills.”
So will there be more action in season two?
Amadeus Serafini: “There’s going to be some action. Like I said, it’s not just tumultuous between Emma and Kieran but between the group as a whole. One might use the word ‘hysteria’ and its hold on the town as things progress.”
Do you see the overall tone for season two as a little darker than season one?
Amadeus Serafini: “I think so. I think so, especially as everyone gets sullied. Each character gets tarnished in their own way. It’s really going to be difficult for the audience to contend with all that, getting pulled in all of these directions. And of course on social media they all have their favorites – all of our fans – and they don’t want anyone to be the killer. [Laughing] They also don’t want anyone to die, so I think our showrunners and the writers are really having fun stressing the audience out.”
Nick Hornby’s bestseller Juliet, Naked is making the leap to the screen with Jesse Peretz (Our Idiot Brother, Girls) now signed on as director. Los Angeles Media Fund is backing the project and Judd Apatow (Trainwreck), Albert Berger, Ron Yerxa, Barry Mendel (Bridesmaids), and Jeffrey Soros are on board as producers. Slums of Beverly Hills‘ Tamara Jenkins is adapting Hornby’s book for the screen.
“I’m thrilled to extend my long collaboration with Jesse to this film,” said Apatow. “He’s a master of bringing complicated characters to life with empathy and humor, and he’s just the perfect director to tell Nick Hornby’s great story.”
“We are very excited to have Jesse on board as the director of Juliet, Naked. Jesse’s background as a musician and his command of character-driven comedy are ideal for this wonderful project,” stated Los Angeles Media Fund’s Jeffrey Soros and Simon Horsman.
Juliet, Naked is the latest in a long line of books from Nick Hornby that have been adapted into feature films. Fever Pitch, High Fidelity, About a Boy, and A Long Way Down were previously adapted for the screen, and Hornby also wrote the screenplays for Brooklyn, Wild, and An Education.
The Plot:Juliet, Naked is the story of Annie, the long-suffering girlfriend of Duncan, and her unlikely transatlantic romance with once revered, now faded, singer-songwriter, Tucker Crowe, who also happens to be the subject of Duncan’s musical obsession.
The Temptations, Kool and the Gang, KISS, and the Bee Gees are featured on the soundtrack to the action comedy The Nice Guys starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. The film’s set for release on May 20, 2016 and the soundtrack will arrive digitally on May 13th followed by a release on CD on May 20th.
Discussing the selection of ’70s hits compiled for the The Nice Guys soundtrack, music supervisor Randall Poster said, “This is a noir film… this is dark… also? It’s 100% exuberant. Which brings us to the music.” The film’s producer Joel Silver provided input into the selection of artists and songs, convincing Poster to include Earth, Wind & Fire’s ‘Boogie Wonderland’. “Once on board, I was happy to help choose them,” explained Poster. “If you’re looking for oddly ironic 70’s deep tracks, somber commentary on a difficult time — you won’t find it here.”
Directed by Shane Black, The Nice Guys cast also includes Angourie Rice, Matt Bomer, Margaret Qualley, Keith David, Beau Knapp, and Kim Basinger. Black and Anthony Bagarozzi wrote the script, with Ken Kao, Hal Sadoff, Bagarozzi, Alex Walton and Michael J. Malone executive producing.
The Plot:The Nice Guys unfolds in 1970s Los Angeles, when down-on-his-luck private eye Holland March and hired enforcer Jackson Healy become the unlikeliest of partners. Working together, they have to find a missing girl, who seems to have a target on her back. And is her case related to the violent death of porn star Misty Mountain in a car crash? During their investigation, March and Healy begin to uncover a shocking conspiracy that reaches up to the highest circles of power … and just might get them both killed.

The Plot: A weekend getaway takes a dangerous turn when a mysterious nightclub owner (Pierce Brosnan) introduces a group of friends to a new designer drug.

A scene from the independent film, ‘Dear White People.’
Netflix is developing a comedy series based on Justin Simien’s indie film, Dear White People. Dear White People was written, directed, and produced by Simien and won the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Season one of Netflix’s series will consist of 10 30-minute episodes written by Simien who’s also committed to directing the first episode. Devon Shepard (House of Lies), Stephanie Allain Bray (Hustle & Flow), and Julia Lebedev (The Dinner) are on board as executive producers.
Filming’s expected to begin later this year and Netflix is targeting a 2017 premiere.
“Justin is a gifted storyteller whose bold, unique vision is perfectly suited to Netflix,” stated Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix. “His original film Dear White People announced the arrival of a fresh, creative voice that had everyone talking, and we’re excited to have Justin create this new series for our members worldwide.”
“During the film’s release, I had the pleasure to speak with hundreds of students and faculty across a variety of college campuses dealing with these very issues in real time,” said Simien. “I’m so grateful to have this platform – not only to give a voice to those too often unheard in our culture, but to also tell great stories from new points of views. From day one, Lionsgate has been remarkably supportive of the vision for the show, and working with Netflix is every bit as harmonious as I’d imagined it would be. Bringing this show to such a vibrant platform is an honor I don’t take lightly.”
The Plot: Set among a diverse group of students of color as they navigate a predominantly white Ivy League college where racial tensions are often swept under the rug, Dear White People is a send up of “post-racial” America that also weaves a universal story about forging one’s own unique path.

FX and Ryan Murphy continue their partnership with a new anthology series focusing on epic feuds. Feud season one will delve into the legendary feud between Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? co-stars Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Murphy’s award-winning American Horror Story star Jessica Lange will take on the role of Joan Crawford and Oscar winner Susan Sarandon will play Bette Davis in the eight episode first season. Per FX’s official announcement, Alfred Molina will play director Robert Aldrich, Stanley Tucci is studio head Jack Warner, Judy Davis is gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, and Dominic Burgess has been cast as Davis and Crawford’s co-star Victor Buono.
Murphy created the series, is directing a few episodes, and executive produces along with Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner. Murphy and Michael Zam purchased Jaffe Cohen’s Best Actress script which serves as part of the basis for the show’s pilot. Filming’s expected to get underway later this year, with FX targeting a 2017 premiere.
Murphy’s had a string of successes including Nip/Tuck, Glee, American Horror Story (the series that launched the current wave of TV anthologies), and American Crime Story: The People v O.J. Simpson. “Ryan keeps re-inventing TV,” said FX Networks CEO John Landgraf. “Nip/Tuck brilliantly extended the boundaries of ad supported television. Glee re-imagined the television musical. American Horror Story pioneered the modern anthological series, which has rapidly transformed the television landscape and been widely copied. The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story was recognized by many as the best and most talked about new show this year. And all of those shows have been award-winning ratings hits. Feud adds a third and equally ambitious franchise to Ryan’s unprecedented slate of FX anthological limited series and marks our third such collaboration with studio partner 20th Century Fox Television/Fox 21. The series will offer a seductive, insightful look at what lies behind legendary personality conflicts.”
The Plot: The first installment of Feud stars Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon and tells the story of the legendary rivalry between two of the greatest movie stars of all time—Joan Crawford (Lange) and Bette Davis (Sarandon), and how they came together in 1962 to collaborate on a picture each hoped would revive their careers. The result, the critically acclaimed and box office smash Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? ultimately received five Academy Awards nominations and became a cult classic. But for its leads, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, the real horror was working together.

As expected from the title, liberty or freedom to choose, is a theme in season four episode eight of The Americans. “We take freedom for granted,” David Copperfield states as he makes the Statue of Liberty disappear in his magic act. As the episode opens, freedom is exactly what Martha (Alison Wright) is about to lose. She studies a jar of Jif peanut butter with the realization that it is the last time that she will see it and all that she has known to this point in her life. She has been left with no choice but to leave her country and go to a communist society with few freedoms.
While Gabe (Frank Langella) tries to be reassuring, Philip (Matthew Rhys, who also directed the episode), knows that he is responsible for Martha’s fate and his anguish is visible on his face as her plane leaves, bound for Cuba.
At the EST session that Elizabeth (Keri Russell) attends, the leader tells the group that people feel trapped and stuck in a box that they can’t get out of. He adds that if they could get out, they wouldn’t know what to do with themselves. Elizabeth’s dedication to serving her country, while it places constraints on her choices, defines her life. Perhaps her fear of what she would do without her mission contributes to her attacks on Philip for his appreciation of EST. She tells Philip that EST “makes you look at things,” and “that it makes you question.” Elizabeth doesn’t want to question her loyalty to the Soviet Union and the KGB, however, so she denigrates the program as simply a money making scheme that is “so American.”
Many who have participated in EST (Erhard Seminar Training) do come to question their life choices. Werner Erhard developed EST when he came to the realization that what he thought was so important in his life was not important. He thought, “My God, I’m free. What—free—what does that mean to be free? Free to choose, free to create a life that was worth living.” – From Werner Erhard, 2005, Transformation: The Life and Legacy of Werner Erhard.
Philip is questioning the work that they do, and is perhaps more “American,” as Elizabeth suspects. He has been feeling deep regret about Martha. He defends Martha when Elizabeth calls her ”simple.” Underlying Elizabeth’s anger with Philip is her belief that his feelings for Martha went beyond how they should regard their “assets.” She believes that he should share her dedication to their work. Philip, however, would like to have more choice in his life. As a start, he wants time to play hockey.

Elizabeth’s frustration spills over into a harsh confrontation with Paige (Holly Taylor) during which she reminds her daughter that Paige’s indiscretion in confiding in her pastor about her parents’ true identities has put the family in danger. In no uncertain terms she tells Paige that she has no choice but to become more involved with the church and Pastor Tim. While Alison Wright gave performances in the last few episodes that were worthy of an Emmy nomination, there is no better acting than Keri Russell’s in her blow up with Paige and the earlier one with Philip.
Elizabeth’s derisive comment about EST being “American” is indicative of Elizabeth’s strong connection to the country of her birth. The experience of being an immigrant is another theme in this episode. David Copperfield makes the point that his mother was an immigrant who saw the Statue of Liberty when she arrived in this country. Elizabeth and Young Hee (Ruthie Ann Miles), both immigrants, sneak into the movie The Outsiders at the theater.
Realizing the level of stress that Philip and Elizabeth are experiencing, Gabriel very perceptively gives them a break from assignments for a time. After a seven month time jump, we find that Philip is indeed playing hockey. Gaad (Richard Thomas), who has left the FBI, seems both relaxed and happy. n the course of a discussion of the agency, Gaad encourages Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) to try to turn Oleg Burov by using the deaths of both Nina and his brother. This storyline and that of Young Hee, will no doubt be explored in the future.
Sadly, Elizabeth’s demand that Paige spend more time with Pastor Tim and his wife has done damage to their parent-child relationship. In the final scene, her parents look very concerned when Paige gives a summary report of her time with Pastor Tim and wife in an icy monotone.
