Have you been wondering what Girls‘ Allison Williams will look like in character as Peter Pan? NBC’s just unveiled this official photo of Williams all made up as the leader of the Lost Boys in the upcoming Peter Pan Live! musical airing on December 4, 2014.
The Peter Pan Live! cast also includes Christopher Walken as Captain Hook. Neil Meron and Craig Zadan are on board as producers.
“I have wanted to play Peter Pan since I was about three years old, so this is a dream come true,” said Williams in a statement released in July when she was announced as landing the lead role. “It’s such an honor to be a part of this adventure, and I’m very excited to get to work with this extraordinarily talented team. And besides, what could go wrong in a live televised production with simultaneous flying, sword fighting and singing?”

Miranda Lambert earned nine nominations for the 48th Annual CMA Awards, matching the record she already held for the most nominations by a female artist in history. Following far behind with five nominations was Dierks Bentley, with Keith Urban and Eric Church collecting four nominations each.
Lambert’s nine nominations brings her total overall CMA Awards nominations to 34. That puts her fourth on the list behind Reba (49), Dolly Parton (44), and Loretta Lynn (39).
This year’s CMA Awards will be held on November 5, 2014 on ABC with Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood back as co-hosts.
“This is a great slate of nominees with established superstars, industry icons, and breakthrough acts all represented,” said CMA Chief Executive Officer Sarah Trahern. “The 2014 CMA Awards are destined to be the best yet.”

Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf are heading back to the big screen in Frozen Fever, a new short film set to debut in the spring of 2015. The new animated short will feature a brand new song by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, and directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck are back for this new tale set in the world of Frozen.
According to Disney’s official announcement, here’s the scoop on the short’s storyline: “In Frozen Fever it’s Anna’s birthday and Elsa and Kristoff are determined to give her the best celebration ever, but Elsa’s icy powers may put more than just the party at risk.”
For Frozen fans who can’t wait until 2015 to be reunited with Elsa and Anna, check out this season of ABC’s Once Upon a Time where the Frozen characters will be interacting with Captain Hook, Snow White, and Prince Charming as well as other citizens of Storybrooke.
Disney’s animated action comedy Big Hero 6 has released a new two-minute clip featuring Baymax (voiced by Scott Adsit) trying to diagnose a toe injury. Coming to theaters on November 7, 2014, Big Hero 6 – Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 54th feature film – was directed by Don Hall (Winnie the Pooh) and Chris Williams (Bolt). The voice cast includes Maya Rudolph, James Cromwell, Damon Wayans Jr., T.J. Miller, Alan Tudyk, Jamie Chung, Genesis Rodriguez, Daniel Henney, and Ryan Potter.
The Plot:
From Walt Disney Animation Studios, the team behind Frozen and Wreck-It Ralph, comes Big Hero 6, an action-packed comedy-adventure about the special bond that develops between Baymax, a plus-sized inflatable robot, and prodigy Hiro Hamada (voiced by Ryan Potter). When a devastating event befalls the city of San Fransokyo and catapults Hiro into the midst of danger, he turns to Baymax and his close friends adrenaline junkie Go Go Tomago (Chung), neatnik Wasabi (Wayans Jr.), chemistry whiz Honey Lemon (Rodriguez) and fanboy Fred (Miller). Determined to uncover the mystery, Hiro transforms his friends into a band of high-tech heroes called “Big Hero 6.”
A bear happens upon two campers in a tent in this clip from the dramatic thriller Backcountry starring Missy Peregrym, Jeff Roop, and Eric Balfour. Written and directed by Adam MacDonald, Backcountry is set to make its debut at the Toronto Film Festival on September 8, 2014.
The Plot: Based on a true story, Backcountry follows an urban couple who go camping in the Canadian wilderness – where unimaginable beauty sits alongside our most primal fears. Alex (Jeff Roop) is a seasoned outdoorsman, while Jenn (Missy Peregrym), a corporate lawyer, is not. After much convincing and against her better judgment, she agrees to let him take her deep into a Provincial Park to one of his favorite spots – the secluded Blackfoot Trail.
On their first night, deep in the forest, they have an unsettling encounter with Brad (Eric Balfour), a strange alpha male with eyes for Jenn who may or may not be following them. Alex’s desire to quickly reach Blackfoot Trail only intensifies. They push further and further into the woods, Alex stubbornly insisting that he remembers the way. After three days their path disappears; they are hopelessly lost. Without food or water, they struggle to find their way back, the harsh conditions bringing out the best and worst in them, pushing their already fragile relationship to the breaking point.
When they realize they have entered a bear’s territory, being lost suddenly becomes the least of their problems. Terror, horror, will, and survival become paramount.
The CW’s released this new poster for the 10th season of Supernatural starring Jensen Ackles as Dean, Jared Padalecki as Sam, Misha Collins as Castiel, and Mark Sheppard as Crowley. Season 10 will premiere on October 7, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT and for those who can’t get enough of the Winchester brothers, The CW’s airing a special Supernatural Retrospective on October 6th at 9pm ET/PT.
Here are the details on Supernatural‘s 10th season, courtesy of The CW:
Twenty-eight years ago, Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. Subsequently, their father, John (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), raised them to be soldiers. He taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America…and he taught them how to kill it.
Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) have spent the last nine years battling the things that go bump in the night. Over the years, with the help of the fallen angel Castiel (Misha Collins), and the King of Hell, Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard), the Winchesters have straddled the line between good and evil.
Last season, power struggles in Heaven and Hell would push the boys beyond their limits. Crowley was pitted against the Knight of Hell, Abaddon (Alaina Huffman), in a civil war for the throne of Hell, while the recently fallen angels formed battling factions, with the boys and Castiel caught in the crossfire of both conflicts. Meanwhile, the egomaniacal former scribe of God, Metatron (Curtis Armstrong), vied to replace the Almighty in the hearts and minds of angels and humans alike. However, absolute power corrupted the scribe, and the brothers were forced to confront the would-be deity, a conflict ending with the death of Dean Winchester. In the shocking final moments of the season, he would be resurrected by the power of the First Blade, opening his eyes to reveal he has been transformed into a demon.
Season 10 begins with Sam’s frantic search for his missing brother, who is gone without a trace. The road to recovering the wayward Dean takes Sam down dark paths, with consequences that will shake the boys to their core. Meanwhile, Castiel has to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of Metatron’s campaign. With his grace failing and rogue angels still on the loose, Cass will face the ticking clock of his own mortality as all-new threats emerge to once again push all of our heroes to their limits.

When we last saw Captain Sean Renard in the season three finale of Grimm, he seemed to be on the verge of death. And at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, I asked actor Sasha Roiz whether Renard will be hanging around for the upcoming fourth season.
“I’m definitely fighting for my life, but if I come back, there will be some consequences to it,” answered Roiz. “There will be some changes for sure.”
“I think it would suck if he didn’t survive, I can say that. But I think nothing without consequence. If he makes it, there will be a big twist and change to the character. So, we’ll see what happens,” added Roiz.
Check out what else Roiz had to say about season four which debuts on October 24, 2014.

Netflix has given Hemlock Grove an order for a third season that will air sometime in 2015. The 10-episode season three will be the show’s final season, according to the announcement by the streaming service.
Charles H. Eglee will be back as showrunner.
“We are so grateful to the fans of Hemlock Grove who have championed the series so intensely over two seasons,” said executive producer Eli Roth. “We are looking forward to taking the last and final season into some dark and unexpected places, and to giving viewers the killer finale you’d come to expect from Hemlock Grove.”
“We are delighted that our fans have invited us back to explore the fiendish recesses of the human condition for another season. Knowing it will be our last gives us the opportunity to go out in a mushroom cloud of clever and soul-shattering mayhem. See you soon on the twisted streets of Hemlock Grove,” stated Eglee.
“We, along with the fans, are looking forward to visiting Hemlock Grove one last time, and we know that Chic, Eli, and the team will provide a riveting and mind-bending conclusion to complete the series” said Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Programming.
Netflix hasn’t released an official synopsis for season three. However, here’s a look back at season two courtesy of Netflix:
In the second season, the town of Hemlock Grove continued to come to grips with the shocking massacre incurred by one of its deadliest creatures. Roman (Bill Skarsgård) and Peter (Landon Liboiron) faced new responsibilities and the realities that come with adulthood. Roman struggled with his relationship with his mother (Famke Janssen) as he wrestled with his unwanted Upir birthright and the disappearance of his sister, Shelley (Madeleine Martin).
Peter moved in with Destiny (Kaniehtiio Horn) and was forced to get a job after his mother was sent away. Meanwhile, in search of a new life, newcomer Miranda Cates (Madeline Brewer), embarked on Hemlock Grove with an unknowingly profound effect on Peter and Roman. And Norman (Dougray Scott), still reeling from the loss of his family, faced the harsh truth about those he loved.
In a smart move by TBS based on not just the ratings but on recent statements made by CeeLo Green, the network’s canceled the little-seen The Good Life reality show after one season. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the cancellation following a six-episode run that was watched by just 677,00 viewers.
Although THR reports TBS made the decision based solely on the show’s numbers, Green’s tweets from this weekend about women and rape most likely made that decision much easier. The tweets were met with outrage, and he’s since deleted the tweets which of course doesn’t mean a thing on the internet as they were captured and retweeted before he got rid of them.
CeeLo deactivated his account but then returned with the tweets missing from his timeline. Buzzfeed captured them and has a great article about Green’s weekend Twitter escapades.
The Twitter episode came just days after Green entered a no-contest plea to secretly giving a woman Ecstasy in 2012.
Here it is…AMC’s unveiled the official poster for the much-anticipated fifth season of The Walking Dead. The new poster shows Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) looking ready to take down his enemies accompanied by the tagline: “Hunt or Be Hunted.”
Season five premieres on October 12, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT.
