Season four will be the final season of CBS’s FBI: International. While the flagship series will continue, both spinoffs, International and Most Wanted, are concluding with their current seasons. Episode 14 of season four, titled “A Winged Lion for Protection,” is scheduled to air on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at 9 PM ET/PT.
Jesse Lee Soffer stars as Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell, Carter Redwood plays Special Agent Andre Raines, Vinessa Vidotto is Special Agent Cameron Vo, Eva-Jane Willis is Europol Agent Megan “Smitty” Garretson, and Christina Wolfe plays Special Agent Amanda Tate.
“A Winged Lion for Protection” Plot: After a young American woman is brutally murdered in Venice, the Fly Team is met with hostility when they discover that their person of interest has ties to a well-connected Italian family. Soon, the case gets even more complicated when the CIA Station Chief shows up with an agenda of his own. Meanwhile, pressure mounts on Quinn to deliver intel on Mitchell. Directed by Avi Youabian and written by Roxanne Paredes.
FBI: International is the third iteration of the successful FBI brand that follows the elite operatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s International Fly Team. Headquartered in Budapest, they travel throughout Europe with the mission of tracking and neutralizing threats against American citizens wherever they may be, putting their lives on the line to protect the U.S. and its people. Newly embedded to the Fly Team is charming and rakish Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell, whose impeccable instincts and unconventional tactics deepen his drive to stop at nothing to achieve justice.
Special Agent Andre Raines shines in the field and makes good use of his accounting background in tracking criminal enterprises’ moving money. Special Agent Cameron Vo, a competitive West Point grad, excels at interrogation and strategy and Megan “Smitty” Garretson, a streetwise Europol agent with an extensive undercover background, uses her expertise to liaise with each host country they inhabit. Special Agent Amanda Tate, a confident and tech-savvy intel analyst, stays quick on her feet and remains calm in the midst of chaos. Always at the scene where American interests are at risk, FBI: International is a globe-trotting depiction of law enforcement overseas.
Netflix has officially begun production on the second season of Nobody Wants This, as announced with the release of a behind-the-scenes photo. Kristen Bell and Adam Brody will reprise their leading roles in the critically acclaimed comedy. The streaming platform has also unveiled four guest stars who will play significant roles in the upcoming season.
Alongside Bell and Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn are returning for season two. Season one premiered on September 26, 2024, and season two is expected to be released on Netflix later this year.
“An agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi on the rebound walk into a party. When they walk out — together — the unlikely pair, Joanne (Bell) and Noah (Brody), can tell there is something between them,” reads Netflix’s season one synopsis. “But also potentially between them, with their differing outlooks on life, all of the modern obstacles to love, and their sometimes well-meaning, sometimes sabotaging families — including her sister Morgan (Lupe) and his brother Sasha (Simons).”
Netflix released the following details on season two’s guest stars:
Leighton Meester plays “Abby” – Joanne’s middle school nemesis who is now an Instagram mommy influencer.
Miles Fowler plays ”Lenny” – Noah’s Matzah Ballers teammate who gets set up with Morgan (Justine Lupe).
Alex Karpovsky plays “Big Noah” – An overly confident rabbi at Noah’s temple.
Arian Moayed plays “Dr. Andy” – A charming, highly regarded (particularly by himself) psychotherapist who might just be the perfect match for Morgan.
Created by Erin Foster, the Critics Choice Awards-winning comedy has Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan as co-showrunners. Konner, Kaplan, Kristen Bell, Erin Foster, Steven Levitan, Sara Foster, Danielle Stokdyk, Jeff Morton, Nora Silver, and Oly Obst executive produce.
In season four, episode 16 of CBS’s Ghosts, Hetty’s ghostly power will finally be revealed. But first, let’s discuss the major twist at the end of episode 15. High Potential’s Deniz Akdeniz reprised his role as Chris, the dinosaur-loving stripper, and pitched a special “It’s Raining Men” package for Alberta’s descendant, Alicia, to celebrate her bachelorette party.
Unfortunately for Chris, the “Raining Men” package required him to jump from a plane and parachute onto the Woodstone property. He crashed through the roof of Jay’s restaurant and became the latest addition to the roster of ghosts haunting the property. It’s going to be fun to see how Chris will interact with the core group-and if he’ll hook up with Isaac.
Episode 16, “St. Hetty’s Day,” will air on Thursday, March 13, 2025 at 8:30pm ET/PT.
Rose McIver stars as Sam, Utkarsh Ambudkar is Jay, Brandon Scott Jones is Isaac, and Richie Moriarty plays Pete. Danielle Pinnock is Alberta, Asher Grodman is Trevor, Román Zaragoza stars as Sasappis, Rebecca Wisocky plays Hetty, Devan Chandler Long is Thorfinn, and Sheila Carrasco is Flower. Tristan D. Lalla guest stars as Mark.
“St. Hetty’s Day” Plot: Hetty’s ghost power is revealed when Jay’s cousin Sunil visits Woodstone Mansion on St. Patrick’s Day.
Ghosts is a single-camera comedy about Samantha and Jay, a cheerful freelance journalist and up-and-coming chef from the city, respectively, who threw both caution and money to the wind when they decided to convert Woodstone Mansion, which Sam inherited, into a bed & breakfast – only to find it was inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home.
The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer (Danielle Pinnock); a pompous 18th-century militiaman (Brandon Scott Jones); a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens (Sheila Carrasco); an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader (Richie Moriarty); a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009 (Devon Chandler Long); a slick ‘90s finance bro (Asher Grodman); a sarcastic and witty native from the 16th-century (Román Zaragoza); and a society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron who is Sam’s ancestor (Rebecca Wisocky), to name a few. The opening of the B&B has been a source of intrigue, anxiety, and curiosity among the spirits, but they will gladly put up with the commotion as long as they can continue to interact with a living inhabitant.
Apple TV+ describes their new series Government Cheese as a “surrealist family comedy,” and the trailer confirms that’s accurate. Two-time Emmy nominee David Oyelowo (Nightingale, Lawmen: Bass Reeves) stars in the 10-episode series debuting on April 16, 2025 with the release of the first four episodes.
New episodes stream on Wednesdays.
Created by Paul Hunter and Aeysha Carr, the cast includes Simone Missick, Jahi Di’Allo Winston, and Evan Ellison.

“Government Cheese is a surrealist family comedy set in 1969 San Fernando Valley that tells the story of the Chambers, a quirky family pursuing lofty and seemingly impossible dreams, beautifully unfettered by the realities of the world. When Hampton Chambers (Oyelowo) is released from prison, his long-awaited family reunion doesn’t go quite as he’d planned,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “During his absence, Hampton’s wife Astoria (Missick) and sons Einstein (Ellison) and Harrison (Di’Allo Winston) have formed an unconventional family unit, and Hampton’s return spins their world into chaos.”
Hunter and Carr wrote the comedy and serve as showrunners and executive producers. David Oyelowo, Charles D. King, Jelani Johnson, and Ali Brown also executive produce, with Hunter directing.

“The Last Anniversary is set on the remote but beautiful Scribbly Gum Island, a place of many secrets.

“What Goes Up…” Plot: Amy, finally allowed to practice medicine again without supervision, struggles to diagnosed her most complicated patient yet: TJ’s dad. Sonya and Jake treat a single mom who’s reluctant to stay in the hospital. Richard tries to contain the truth about Dixon.
After a late-night car crash results in severe head trauma, Amy wakes up from surgery with no recollection of the patients she’s treated, the colleagues she’s crossed and the tragedy that caused her to push almost everyone away. The relief that Amy gets from seeing her family post-accident is fleeting when she learns the incomprehensible – that she and her beloved husband, Dr. Michael Hamda have been divorced for four years. In fact, her entire family is not at all as she remembers them, rocking her foundation to the core.
Amy’s best friend, neuropsychiatrist Dr. Gina Walker, has little guidance to give her for this new reality since matters of the brain are, even to the experts, still a big mystery. While Gina is hopeful, she does not know if Amy will ever recover her memories. In Amy’s fragile state, Gina must choose carefully what information from the past eight years to reveal to her, scared that too much too soon could prove more harmful than good. This includes her secret romance with Dr. Jake Heller, since Amy now has no recollection of ever meeting him before, let alone being in a passionate relationship with him. Certain other memories, those close to her believe, would perhaps be too painful to relive and are best left forgotten.
In a fateful irony, that’s the fervent hope for Amy’s colleague, Dr. Richard Miller, who has now been promoted to take over as Chief of Internal Medicine after Amy’s accident. Richard is desperate for Amy’s memories to never return since she was the only person to uncover his career-ending mistake – another thing she now doesn’t recall.
And Richard isn’t alone in relishing Amy’s predicament – her previously contentious and unkind behavior left her with more than a few enemies at the hospital, including Dr. Sonya Maitra. While she does remember Dr. TJ Coleman, she does not recall that he became a doctor – nor that it was she who inspired him to do so.
Feeling completely off balance and having to piece together what happened through the prism of other people’s subjective points of view, practicing medicine remains the one constant for Amy, and she is determined to become a doctor again. While she may never get back what she’s lost, Amy knows she’s been given a second chance to do things differently and she will not take that gift for granted.
