AMC’s announced Fear the Walking Dead will kick off its 15 episode season two on April 10, 2016 at 9pm ET/PT. The network will be splitting up the season, airing seven episodes beginning this April and then airing the remaining eight later this year.
Filming on season two is taking place at Baja Studios in Mexico.
Season one was the highest-rated first season in cable history. The season one cast included Kim Dickens as Madison, Cliff Curtis as Travis, Frank Dillane as Nick, Alycia Debnam-Carey as Alicia, Ruben Blades as Daniel, Mercedes Mason as Ofelia, Lorenzo James Henrie as Chris and Colman Domingo as Strand. Showrunner Dave Erickson, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, and David Alpert are the executive producers.
The finale of season one found Madison, Travis, and the rest of their group hiding out at Strand’s oceanfront estate. As the situation around them worsened, Strand and the survivors prepared to sail away on his yacht, “Abigail.”
Outlander stars Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe were on hand, along with executive producer Ronald D. Moore and author Diana Gabaldon, for the 2016 Television Critics Association Starz press event in Los Angeles where they did their best to answer questions about season two without giving away spoilers. Of course, the definition of ‘spoiler’ varies greatly, depending on whether or not you’ve read Diana Gabaldon’s bestselling book series. Season two will be following the events in Gabaldon’s second book of the Outlander series, Dragonfly in Amber, with the pregnant Claire (Balfe) and her husband, Jamie (Heughan), in Paris attempting to stop the battle of Culloden by infiltrating the Jacobite rebellion.
Season one found Jamie often in danger and having to physically defend himself. That changes a bit in season two says Heughan. “I would say the danger in Paris and Versailles is less physical of the swords and weaponry. It’s more politics and back-stabbing and poison. It’s more hidden. There’s a lot more politics at work and more danger,” explained Heughan.
Jamie’s traumatic experience at the hands of Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies) will affect him in season two, but it definitely isn’t the focus of the season. “I think time is a great healer but ultimately he puts his whole soul into this mission about changing history,” said Heughan. Heughan went on to tease a “great revelation” that will bring him back to the old Jamie. “Whether or not that still lives with me, I thoroughly enjoyed that. Myself and Caitriona, we both love any scenes that are kind of dramatic, that we can get our teeth into and stretch our acting abilities. I thoroughly enjoyed those episodes and look forward to more challenges.”
Now that they’re into their second seasons playing Jamie and Claire, Heughan and Balfe have found much to admire about these particular characters. Asked what it is he admires about Jamie, Sam admitted he’s been surprised by season two. “Season one was about discovery, about a young man growing up and finding his place in the world and in a relationship. Season two was about finding a side of the character I never knew was there. He’s playing someone else. He’s learning to be deceptive, and he does it very well. He’s good at most things but there’s a side to him I didn’t know. He’s still traumatized and struggling with what happened to him. There’s not a darkness but a side to him I didn’t know existed. What do I admire about him? I guess his humor and his just buoyancy. He has a natural ability to keep going no matter what’s wrong. I guess also his just absolute dedication to Claire is admirable and inspiring.”
Balfe says her experience is similar to Heughan’s. “In some respect similar to Sam, Claire last year, last season, it was a very reactionary season. There were events that happened one after another and she was in survival mode, so she was just reacting from one thing to the next. The difference this season is there’s been time to be in one place and contemplate. I feel things are sitting with Claire a lot more. She has time to consider her place and how she feels. It’s been a really amazing discovery in that way.”
“In a lot of respects, I feel I’ve gotten to know her a lot more. We have such a long journey to go with these characters, I’m really looking forward to playing these next phases. People know Briana comes in and how that is to be a mother. I really admire her resilience and her intelligence. I would love to just ask her what her thoughts are being in all these different places and times, how she sees humanity, having that conversation with her and her drive for her career. It would be a very interesting dinner I think. Probably a very drunk dinner,” said Balfe, laughing.
And what would Heughan ask Jamie? “Is he a natural ginger? Does he dye his hair once a month?” joked Heughan.
Adding new characters to season two will affect the dynamic between Claire and Jamie, particularly with the addition of Fergus (played by Romann Berrux). Commenting on the new additions to the Outlander cast, Heughan said, “We have some fantastic new characters coming in. The French actors brought in a new dynamic, a new world. There’s new enemies, new allies. We have Dominique Pinon, Stanley Weber… We have this young boy who plays Fergus and he brings this great dimension to Claire and Jamie. He’s sort of their surrogate son. It’s nice to see Jamie and Claire play father and mother. It brings a new dynamic to their relationship.”
And while at the TCAs, Balfe also talked about the differences in costumes from season one to season two. “Obviously I think Terry [Dresbach] will agree with me that I don’t know if we’d call the Scottish clothes necessarily fashions. They’re very practical clothes. It was a palette that was very muted and fabrics that were practical and earthy. Once we went to Paris, Terry was given freedom to make the most incredible, beautiful pieces. We have very rich fabrics, gorgeous colors. It looks amazing, it’s so sumptuous.”
“We believe the provocative world created by Steven, Lodge and Amy, coupled with an absolutely mesmerizing performance by Riley Keough in the lead role will make The Girlfriend Experience difficult to turn off,” said Albrecht. “Providing binging access to the entire 13-episodes to STARZ subscribers, along with the traditional weekly episodic premiere schedule, allows us to accommodate all viewing appetites.”
The Plot:
The Girlfriend Experience follows Christine Reade, a second year student at Chicago-Burnham Law School and a new intern at the prestigious firm of Kirkland & Allen. Working hard to establish herself at the firm, her focus quickly shifts when a classmate introduces her to the world of transactional relationships. Known as GFEs, they are women who provide “The Girlfriend Experience”—emotional and sexual relationships at a very high price. Juggling two very different lives, Christine quickly finds herself drawn into the GFE world, attracted to the rush of control and intimacy. The series also stars Paul Sparks, Mary Lynn Rajskub and Kate Lyn Sheil.
Sam Heughan can be forgiven for not remembering what day it is and what city he’s visiting after traveling through a handful of countries between December 18, 2015 and Starz’ Outlander press event at the Television Critics Association gathering in Los Angeles, CA on January 8th. Grabbing a few minutes with the talented Scottish actor who’s won over a legion of fans with his performance as Jamie Fraser in the critically acclaimed, award-winning series, Heughan tried to recall all of the time zones he’s recently passed through. “I can’t even tell you,” said Heughan, laughing. “Yeah, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, America…”
Fortunately, Heughan’s a fitness fanatic who can handle traveling, but he joked about the toll it’s taken on his body. Asked if he’ll be wearing new back prosthetics in season two, Heughan said, “I think I need a new body, to be honest. Back prosthetics? Actually we’re using the same ones, the same company.”
Speaking of keeping in shape, fans of Outlander have joined with Heughan in Bear Strength’s My Peak Challenge launched during season one of the series. The goal of My Peak Challenge is to support and motivate people into both reaching peak fitness levels as well as achieving personal goals, all while raising funds for charity. Bloodwise (formerly The Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research organization) is the charity nearest and dearest to Heughan’s heart, and through My Peak Challenge and the support of Outlander fans worldwide, including a special Peak Posse group that auctions off one-of-a-kind Outlander-inspired baskets full of autographed memorable and other items to support the cause, the first fundraising campaign was a huge success.
The second My Peak Challenge has just launched and Heughan promises those who take up the challenge again (or for the first time) have a lot to look forward to in 2016. “We’ve created a 60-day workout fitness routine that’s going to be like daily videos and nutrition advice,” said Heughan.
Asked if he’d like to get his Outlander co-star Caitriona Balfe involved, Heughan said he’d absolutely love to.
As for his own personal bucket list of physical challenges, Heughan said he’d put climbing Everest at the top of that list. “That would be awesome. I don’t think I’ll ever get up there, but I’m going to be climbing Kilimanjaro this year.”
Keeping our talk completely season two spoiler-free, Heughan discussed the most talked about scenes from season one: the prison rape scenes involving his character and Tobias Menzies as Black Jack Randall. “It was very tough. It was pretty intense. I really wanted to do it justice. It was filmed over about a two week period. They were pretty long days because of the prosthetics, the mud, the blood, and the gore. It was about four hours in the morning of makeup and in the evening a couple of hours to take it off. But I think to Tobias and I really went for it. We rehearsed the scenes well with the director and the writers. We were just fortunate that they were such great scenes to play.”
“I knew we were making something pretty graphic and pretty intense, but it’s in the book. You’ve got to understand why Jamie is affected and what happens to him. The whole physical side, Jamie can deal with that. But it’s the mental thing, the sort of the loss of his will and betraying Claire as well is certainly something that’s hard for Jamie to live with. People’s reaction to it? That’s what we want. We wanted people to be shocked by it and to be shocked by what Black Jack Randall has done to him,” said Heughan.
CBS has shifted their primetime schedule around, moving the dramatic series Elementary starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu to Sunday nights at 10pm beginning on March 20, 2016. Rush Hour will move into the Thursdays at 10pm slot beginning on March 31st, and the network has moved back the premiere of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders from March 16th to Wednesday, March 2nd at 10pm ET/PT.
The Elementary Plot: Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller as detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson in a modern-day drama about a crime-solving duo that cracks the NYPD’s most impossible cases. Initially sober companion and client, their relationship evolved into a symbiotic professional investigative partnership, until Holmes chose to end their association and accept a job with MI6 in London. Upon his return, he learned Watson had started her own detective agency and was the NYPD’s primary consultant, working regularly with Captain Thomas Gregson and Detective Marcus Bell.
Also complicating their relationship was Holmes’ enigmatic protégé, Kitty, who helped bring the alienated pair together when they apprehended a deadly adversary from her past. After Holmes’ apprentice departed, the duo strived to repair their partnership and friendship, but separate dangers to both of them challenged their reconciliation. Watson was unmoored by the murder of her boyfriend at the hands of her criminal nemesis, and Sherlock was subjected to a series of machinations by a former associate that caused him to relapse, ending three years of sobriety. Now, Holmes and Watson must rely upon one another to rebuild their lives, while also enduring the return of Sherlock’s estranged father, Morland Holmes.

“Look, people sometimes see things in the forest. Important to remember if you see anything bad, anything strange…it is not real, okay? It’s not there – it’s here,” says Michi (Yukiyoshi Ozawa) as he points to his head while he warns Sara (Natalie Dormer) of the dangers of the forest they’ve just entered in the horror film The Forest.
Sara Price leaves her home, husband, and country to go to Japan when she finds out that her twin sister, Jess (also portrayed by Natalie Dormer), went camping in what’s known as Japan’s suicide forest, Aokigahara, and has been missing since. The authorities tell Sara they gave up looking for Jess after two or three days and assume she followed through with ending her life, but Sara insists that Jess is alive because being a twin she can feel her.
After spending a few days trying to hire a guide to take her into the forest unsuccessfully, Sara meets Aiden (Taylor Kinney), a writer for an Australian magazine. Aiden will try to convince Michi, the unofficial guide who goes through the forest and finds the bodies of the dead and marks them for the rangers, to let her come on his next search as long as he gets to write about it for his magazine. Deal struck, Sara, Aiden, and Michi enter the ominous forest to see if they can find Jess, with Michi reminding them that the forest is dangerous and never to leave the path.
Unoriginal and lacking any good scares, The Forest is a forgettable ghost film that borrows most of its tone and images from other scary films such as The Ring and The Grudge. The writing and character development are weak, never giving any of the characters any depth or personality.
Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones) delivers an acceptable but surface performance as Sara, the sad and responsible sister determined to find her twin and save her from certain doom. Her best scene is in the bar when she first meets and starts to get to know the reporter Aiden. It’s the only scene where she comes off as natural and believable.
The film’s pacing, camera work, and attempts to generate goosebumps are telegraphed by the overdone use by the director of the classic ‘jump scare’ tactic, which fails after the first attempt. The Forest fails almost every time to generate or build up any real tension or suspense. The only scene that’s effective in creating some hair-raising scares is the one where Sara is taken down to the basement of the cabin just outside of the forest where the dead bodies are kept after being retrieved from the forest. Sara begins to look to see if one of the bodies covered by a sheet is her sister, and…no, I won’t reveal here what happens, but it’s one of the film’s true scary moments.
With only two genuine scares and almost zero character development, The Forest is a boring, frightless ghost film that even horror fans should skip seeing.
GRADE: D+
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for disturbing thematic content and images

What do you think about the new posters for Disney’s live-action The Jungle Book? The colorful poster featured above was released in three sections before Disney put them all together for this triptych poster featuring Mowgli (played by Neel Sethi) surrounded by his animal friends King Louie, Kaa, Bagheera, and Baloo. Shere Khan the tiger is also featured prominently. Directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man), the latest adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s tale features the voices of Idris Elba, Ben Kingsley, Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Christopher Walken, Lupita Nyong’o, and Giancarlo Esposito. Justin Marks wrote the script and Favreau and Brigham Taylor produced the action-adventure movie.
