ID’s sharing a first look at their new true crime series Fatal Affairs. As the title suggests, the six-episode season explores love affairs that end in murder.
Per ID: “Fatal Affairs will chronicle stories of love triangles turned into mysterious whodunits when one of the three ends up dead. From workplace flings, secrets between schoolteachers, and even Tinder-trysts, in this risky game of illicit love and secret sex, one lover ends up paying the ultimate price. Psychologist Dr. Michelle Callahan serves as a relationship expert through each story, leading viewers through each fatal affair.”
The true crime series premieres on July 22, 2024 with “Lessons in Lust.” The first episode focuses on the case of Brookstown Middle Magnet Academy teachers Lyntell Washington and Robert Marks. The two were engaged in a steamy affair “but when it is revealed that one of them is married, lust quickly turns to rage and then a tragic act that devastates the community.”
New episodes air on Mondays at 9pm on ID and stream on Max.
Lydia very reluctantly turns to Beetlejuice for help with her daughter, Astrid, in the second official trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The new trailer serves up more of Michael Keaton, which is always a good thing, and shows Astrid being teased about her family’s history with ghosts. And speaking of ghosts, a lot of them show up in trailer #2, too.
Oscar nominee Winona Ryder (Stranger Things) reprises her role as Lydia Deetz and Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek) is back as Delia. Newbies to the Beetlejuice world include Jenna Ortega (Scream 6) as Astrid and Justin Theroux (The Leftovers) as Rory. Monica Bellucci (Spectre), Arthur Conti (House of the Dragon), and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (Poor Things) also star.
“After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened,” reads Warner Bros Pictures’ synopsis. “With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.”
Tim Burton directs from a screenplay by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, based on characters created by Michael McDowell and Larry Wilson. Burton, Marc Toberoff, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Tommy Harper serve as producers. Executive producers include Sara Desmond, Katterli Frauenfelder, Gough, Millar, Larry Wilson, Laurence Senelick, and Brad Pitt.
Haris Zambarloukos is the director of photography, Mark Scruton is the production designer, and Jay Prychidny is the editor. The much-anticipated sequel’s behind-the-scenes team also includes Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, Oscar-winning creature effects and special makeup FX creative supervisor Neal Scanlan, BAFTA-winning Visual Effects Supervisor Angus Bickerton, Oscar-nominated composer Danny Elfman, and Oscar-winning hair and makeup designer Christine Blundell.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice opens in theaters and IMAX on September 6, 2024.

History’s Alone season 11 episode four ended with Timber setting up to take another shot at a moose. Episode five, “Something in the Air,” immediately reveals the outcome of Timber’s latest encounter with a moose.
Episode five also checks in on Michela, Dub, Jake, and Isaiah. When the episode starts, there are seven survivalists still sticking it out in Inuvik, Canada, in the Arctic Circle. By the end, we’ve bid goodbye to another Alone survivalist who taps after experiencing overwhelming loneliness.
(Recap ahead which means there are spoilers from episode five that aired on July 18, 2024!)
Timber – Age 35, Salem, Indiana
Day 14, 12:03pm – Timber’s arrow appears to strike its target, and he can hear air bubbling in the moose’s lungs. The moose manages to run a few feet and falls, and Timber’s ecstatic that he pulled off a big protein win. Alone estimates the animal’s weight at 1,200 pounds.
Timber has a massive job ahead of him and immediately sets to work. Bears will smell the fresh kill, so Timber makes a fire next to the body. He’s considering working all night to prepare the moose, and he hopes for cold weather.
7:13pm – He’s finished the top half of the moose and is going to wait until tomorrow to finish the job. It’s a one-mile hike back to his camp, and he’s already tired. Plus, he’s making himself a target of bears and wolves trekking around with the meat.
10:37pm – Timber’s back in his camp, debating working through the night or waiting until daylight. With so many bears in this area, Timber knows he needs to build a cache and get everything squared away in the next couple of days.
Day 15, 11:14am – Timber spent the morning finishing butchering the moose. Vultures pick at the carcass as Timber returns to camp to build a food cache cold storage. He spent the night worried about bears finding his meat, but so far, he’s been lucky.
His biggest concern is preserving the meat in this warm weather. It’s cool on the north bank of the river and Timber digs into the bank to build a storage area. Timber burns a lot of calories, but it’ll be worth it if he has meat he can count on in the coming weeks. He also notes that he needs to save the meat from the moist climate and the threat of bacteria.
11:51am—Killing a moose has increased his pressure to win. He cuts logs to size, using them as walls of his cold storage. At this point, he wants colder weather to set in quickly.
1:23pm – He places the final logs and adds stakes in front, creating an 8” thick front wall. Timber lines the inside with boughs and places the meat inside, even though it’s not quite bear-proof yet.
2:08pm – Timber declares Fort Moose Meat is finished. It’s an impressive cache; one of the best in Alone’s history.
Day 16, 5:09pm – A mink is eating Timber’s meat in his cache. He chases it away and reveals it’s been there two days in a row. The mink ate part of the moose heart, and Timber decides to start work on rendering the fat. He can’t build something mink-proof, so he needs to find a solution to the problem. Timber realizes he needs to make containers and render all the fat since it’s the most attractive thing to animals. He’s going to cook as much of it as he can each day.
Day 17, 10:16am – Timber’s built birch bark lard canisters and continues to render the fat down pot by pot. He’s using his shelter as a smoker for the moose meat. Timber shows off huge hunks of meat. He’ll strip them thin, place them on skewers, and hang them in the shelter.
Timber has seen big bear tracks close to his cabin and is torn about smoking the meat in his camp. However, it’s really his only option.
2:17pm – Timber shows off rows and rows of meat hanging from his cabin’s roof. The smell’s almost overwhelming as he starts the fire. Timber recalls being suicidal in his teen years thinking he couldn’t be enough for God or people. Now, he feels joy in his soul that he exists.

Michela – Age 33, Cumberland House, Saskatchewan, Canada
Day 15, 9:28am – Michela uses a piece of black carbon to keep her toes dry since she’s been wearing boots nonstop. Back on Day 10 she cut a game trail, and on Days 11 and 12 she started working on setting snares. Now, she checks a snare and discovers something has taken her bait.
The traps are all empty and she’s heading back to her shelter when she hears a grouse. She misses with two arrows and spends time tracking them down. Michela admits she’s feeling a bit of anxiety but is trying to stay hopeful.
Day 16, 1:24pm – She finds a nest and will use it to help start a fire on a cold day. She shows off a moose hair that’s in it before getting back to work cutting poles for her shelter. Her simple A-frame attached to a tree isn’t quite finished, and she’s fashioned it so that trees provide a windblock. It’s small but she’s okay with that since it’ll be easier to heat.
Michela reveals she wanted to experience city life, so she enrolled in college, played sports, and went to parties. One day she had a mental breakdown and was hospitalized. Returning home to the quietness of nature helped her recover.
She hears a noise and pauses working on her cabin to watch a marten hunting a rabbit along her trail. The marten runs off after killing the bunny, providing Michela with a meal. She gently works on keeping the rabbit’s skin intact. The liver looks healthy, so she slices up the rest of the rabbit.
3:46pm – Cooking’s finished, and the rabbit is delicious.
Day 17, 4:46pm – Michela spots a family of swans, and admits she wants to start a family. Next, she sets up a squirrel pull in an active squirrel area. She’s feeling incredibly alone and doesn’t like it. Her emotions are all over the place, and she believes this loneliness must be similar to what it was like to be taken from your family and placed in a residential boarding school.
She talks herself into staying one more day.
Day 18, 9:23am – Michela checks her fishnet, and she’s caught a huge fish. However, she releases it because she wouldn’t be eating it with joy.
9:51am – She doesn’t want to have another mental breakdown and decides for her own mental health she needs to tap. The social isolation aspect was too difficult to handle, but the competition made her understand who she really is in her heart.

Jake – Age 42, Fremont County, Idaho
Day 15, 2:17pm – Jake’s still in pain four days after sitting on a rock and snapping his tailbone. He’s not worried about the injury, but it is something that slowed him down for a couple of days. Jake says he’s fine now and checks his net, hoping for a big win.
He’s still yards away when he spots two fish in his net. Jake’s finally found the perfect place to put his net. He pulls in a pike with a burbot in its mouth, probably from the pike trying to eat the burbot after it was caught in the net. Jake can’t stop laughing over his good luck after a rough start.
He taught himself how to make a gill net after losing his fishing line, and it’s really paying off. Alone notes these fish will provide 2,430 grams of protein.

Dub – Age 44, Frederic, Michigan
Day 15, 2:49pm – Dub’s still working on his shelter after the coldest night yet. (It was 39 degrees.) He uses a wattle and daub (mud and grass) technique on the back wall near his chimney. He believes it’s almost irresponsible to kill big game in this weather since it’s not cold enough yet to preserve it.
Dub has placed spruce boughs and horsetail over his shelter for insulation, and he puts his tarp over that. It’s a small shelter but super insulated.
“If winter came tomorrow, we would be fine,” says Dub.
Day 16, 4:23pm – Dub has seen fish in a specific area and is using the whitefish he caught on Day 11 as bait. There’s a school of whitefish in front of him, but apparently, they aren’t into cannibalism.
Day 17, 3:26pm – Dub’s losing it a bit, dropping a beat while he welcomes viewers to Alone’s first rave. His shelter’s filled with smoke, and he blames his weirdness on smoke inhalation. Fresh air will do him some good and he heads out to fish.
Dub has lost 20 pounds since Day 1 and needs protein. He vows to shift his focus to food as he carves an L7 trigger rig that will automatically set the hook on a pike. Dub decided at age eight to be a pro fisherman and bought a bass boat. He’d risk all his money to pay entry fees into competitions and collected soda cans to turn in for refunds as his backup to buy fuel if needed.
Dub sets his hook and reels in a pike. He celebrates and then quickly sets his line before cleaning the fish. Something triggers his spring pole, and he pulls in another large pike. It’s lunchtime!
Isaiah Tuck in ‘Alone’ season 11 (Photo Credit: The History Channel)
Isaiah – Age 35, Ghent, West Virginia
Day 15, 4:12pm – Isaiah shows his nieces and nephews how he brushes his teeth. Survivalists are allowed toothbrushes but not toothpaste, so Isaiah subs in charcoal.
5:21pm – Isaiah continues to work on his shelter – specifically his fireplace. He’s named his shelter The Bunker and brags it will have the best fireplace if he doesn’t kill himself from hauling rocks first. His fireplace is a combination of rocks and wooden stakes. While working, Isaiah reveals one of his best decisions was joining the West Virginia Air National Guard. He believes his military experience gives him a leg up on his competitors.
8:48pm – He’s pleased with his fireplace but hasn’t eaten. The last time he had protein was on Day 6.
Day 16, 12:37am – Howling wolves wake Isaiah and they sound close by, but he can’t really tell. He admits wolves scare him and knows he needs to get his shelter done soon. The howling will keep him awake for the rest of the night.
9:01am – Isaiah’s exhausted after the roughest night to date. The wolves never stopped howling, but none came close to his temporary shelter. He vows to do as much as he can today to finish his permanent shelter. It’s a large shelter and he decides to cut off corners to make it easier to heat. He hasn’t gone after fish or game yet; he thinks working on the permanent shelter’s more important. His shelter’s cut down into the earth and when he’s done, it’ll be bombproof.
It starts raining but he’s a long way from being done. With his tarp blocking the rain, he does a dance to celebrate being able to stand up in his shelter.
The streamer also announced Jillian Bell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Timothy Olyphant, and Danny Trejo will be dipping their toes in the Turtles world as guest stars in the 12-episode season. They join Mutant Mayhem‘s returning voice cast Micah Abbey as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo, Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo, Brady Noon as Raphael, and Ayo Edebiri as April O’Neil.
“Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles explores the adventures of everyone’s favorite pizza-loving heroes as they emerge from the sewers onto the streets of NYC,” reads Paramount+’s synopsis. “Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey are faced with new threats and team up with old allies to survive both teenage life and villains lurking in the shadows of the Big Apple.”
The animated series is executive produced by Chris Yost and Alan Wan, and produced by Nickelodeon Animation and Point Grey Pictures.
Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premieres on Friday, August 9, 2024.
Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles New and Returning Cast and Characters
Rose Byrne as Leatherhead: Leatherhead is part of the Mutanimals, a group of allies who join forces with the Turtles. Leatherhead is trying to adjust to her new life away from Superfly, but the giant Australian crocodile is having a tough time. Always ready to throw a shrimp on the barbie and go on a walkabout, Leatherhead loves the Turtles and her fellow Mutanimals but is struggling to truly fit in as both a mutant and an Australian in New York.
Natasia Demetriou as Wingnut: The mechanical genius Mutanimal bat, known as Wingnut, finds a kindred spirit in Donatello, and the two talk all day about anime, comics, and their favorite sci-fi reptiles. But she does not love life in the sewers—she’s terrified of the dark, claustrophobic and a little paranoid from too much doomscrolling. However, Wingnut will do whatever it takes to help her friends, no matter how much it freaks her out.
Post Malone as Ray Fillet: Ray Fillet is a Mutanimal manta ray who loves being a mutant just as much as he loves singing his name. And while the latter may make it hard for anyone to understand what he’s trying to say, he always comes in clutch (and in perfect pitch!) when it matters most.
Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Pigeon Pete: Pigeon Pete is a New York City pigeon that got splashed by some bleach, chemicals, a bit of dirt and Mikey’s blood! As a brand new Mutanimal, Pete’s still getting the hang of things. He’s erratic and excitedly flails about, but beneath the coos and poos, there’s more than meets the eye. With a little time (and a bit of electricity), Pete will spread his wings and find his voice.
Timothy Olyphant as Goldfin: Goldfin is the leader of the East River Three, a group of evil inhabitants of New York’s East River who were minding their own business when a massive sci-fi machine transformed them into mutants. However, unlike the Turtles and the Mutanimals, these aquatic individuals have not had the best interactions with humans and choose to go the more villainous route. Goldfin is a two-foot-tall mutant goldfish who very weirdly dresses like a fisherman. He loves all things shiny, especially gold and money! Don’t let his small stature fool you. What he lacks in size, he makes up for in speed, razor-sharp fins and absolute ruthlessness.
Jillian Bell as Lee the Eel: Lee the Eel is a member of the East River Three with a mouth full of fangs and is absolutely terrifying to behold. A giant snake-like creature that shocks everything she touches, Lee is also a loyal friend to the other East River Three members and plays her part in electrifying fashion. Despite her monstrous appearance, she’s really positive but not very fluent in sarcasm, and she doesn’t like being the butt of the joke, especially if the punchline is her name.
Danny Trejo as Mustang Sally: Super strong with thick armor, the monstrous Mustang Sally is more than a seahorse with legs. Like the other East River Three members, he really wants to go back home. Sally is more motivated than ever as a soon-to-be parent simply trying to give his hundreds of babies a better life. And nothing—or no one—is going to get in the way of that.

Dan Stevens to star in ‘The Terror: Devil in Silver’ (Photo Credit: AMC)
AMC Networks’ horror anthology The Terror continues with The Terror: Devil in Silver. Dan Stevens (Abigail) is confirmed to star and will executive produce the third season which will be set in a psychiatric hospital.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of The Terror: Devil in Silver. This series is a dark symphony of psychological horror and gripping drama, set to rock the audience,” stated Dan Stevens. “Victor LaValle, Christopher Cantwell, and this incredible team have crafted a unique and twisted dance of devils and shadows.

There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself,” reads AMC’s synopsis. “As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face down the entity which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him.”
Additional executive producers include Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker for Scott Free Productions; Alexandra Milchan and Scott Lambert for Emjag Productions; Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady, and Brooke Kennedy.

This season, Bob must face his fears and join Louise in a father-daughter boogie boarding competition; Tina becomes the columnist for the anonymous “Ask an Eighth Grader” advice column; and when the Belchers’ landlord, Mr. Fischoeder, offers them two months free rent in exchange for catering an important reception at his house, the family must do everything they can to ensure the event goes perfectly.

In the upcoming season, the city is overrun with debauchery as the annual Ice Week festival comes to Krapopolis; Deliria and Shlub want to prove to Tytannis that they understand the value of human life but keep accidentally killing the servants; and in order to get Krapopolis on the newly-invented map, Tyrannis enlists Hippocampus to open the city’s first restaurant.

9-1-1: LONE STAR: Starring Emmy Award nominee Rob Lowe, 9-1-1: Lone Star follows members of Austin’s 126 Fire Department led by Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) who, along with his adult son, T.K. (Ronen Rubinstein), moved to Texas to help rebuild the firehouse which had experienced a tragedy of its own. His team of diverse and qualified first responders include widowed Paramedic Captain Tommy Vega (Gina Torres), Judd Ryder (Jim Parrack), who was the sole survivor of Austin’s original 126 house after a rescue call ended in tragedy; Marjan Marwani (Natacha Karam), an adrenaline junkie and badass firefighter who also is a devout Muslim; Paul Strickland (Brian Michael Smith), a transgender male firefighter, who bravely decided to transition on the job in Chicago and has a gift for observation worthy of Sherlock Holmes; and rookie firefighter Mateo Chavez (Julian Works).
Settling into his new home, T.K. caught the eye of police officer Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) and the two began a romantic relationship eventually marrying in the Season Four finale. T.K hung up his firefighter helmet to become a full-time paramedic under Tommy’s guidance and works closely with fellow paramedic Nancy Gillian (Brianna Baker).
