Lifetime’s Escape from Polygamy will premiere on August 24, 2013 at 8pm ET/PT starring Mary McCormack (The West Wing), William Mapother, Haley Lu Richardson, and Jack Falahee. The made-for-TV drama was directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg from a script by Damon Hill (Greek).

Lifetime released this synopsis of the film:

In Escape from Polygamy, recently-widowed Leann (McCormack) and her 17-year-old daughter Julina (Richardson) move into an isolated polygamous compound, where the freethinking Julina meets like-minded Ryder (Falahee), son of the religious compound’s charismatic Prophet, Ervil (Mapother). Immediately drawn to one another, the two begin to secretly meet and soon fall in love. Threatened by his son’s budding attraction to Julina, Ervil claims God has instructed him to take Julina as his new wife so they can build a new community in Mexico.

When Ryder and Julina learn of Ervil’s intent to destroy their relationship, they begin to plan their escape. However, Ervil intercedes and banishes Ryder from the sect, leaving him in a remote area of the desert so he can no longer endanger his plan to marry Julina. Wandering for miles, Ryder arrives in Las Vegas, where he finds his old friend and excommunicated “lost boy” Micah (Jake Weary, Fred: The Show, As the World Turns) and enlists his help to rescue Julina.

Back at the compound, Leann and her sister-wives also begin to realize Ervil’s role as Prophet is not as sacred as they originally believed and set out to save Julina and reunite her with her true love, Ryder.

Christina Hendricks says that providing the voice of the fairy ‘Serena’ in DisneyToon Studio’s The Pirate Fairy is a dream job. The Mad Men actress makes her animated theatrical feature film debut with the family-friendly fairy story which is coming to theaters next spring.

However, in the midst of their pursuit of Zarina, Tink’s world is turned upside down. She and her friends find that their respective talents have been switched and they have to race against time to retrieve the Blue Pixie Dust and return home to save Pixie Hollow.

‘Almost Human’ – Cast, Plot Details, and Trailer

Almost Human TV Series
Michael Irby, Mackenzie Crook, Lili Taylor, Karl Urban, Michael Ealy, and Minka Kelly star in ‘Almost Human’ (Photo © 2013 Fox Broadcasting Co.)

Karl Urban and Michael Ealy lead the cast of Fox’s one-hour drama Almost Human. The series comes from executive producers J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman and is set to premiere on November 17, 2013.

Karl Urban stars as Detective John Kennex, Michael Ealy plays Dorian, and Minka Kelly is Detective Valerie Stahl. Mackenzie Crook is Rudy Lom, Michael Irby is Detective Richard Paul, and Lili Taylor plays Captain Sandra Maldonado.

The Synopsis: In this action-packed cop show set in 2048, a worse-for-wear cop teams up with a second-hand synthetic android to fight a strain of urban crime that’s evolved in ever more frightening ways. Detective John Kennex survived a catastrophic attack on the city’s police department that cost him his friends, one of his limbs, and his reputation. Returning over a year later to the force led by Capt. Maldonado, he finds the transition difficult.

Not only does one of the surviving detectives, Richard Paul, blame him for the lethal ambush, but department policy now requires that every cop be paired with a highly-evolved human-like android partner. Rejecting the hyper-efficient battle-ready MX-43 robots, Kennex works with lab technician Rudy Lom to reinstate an outdated Dorian android — whose somewhat dysfunctional platform is based on a “Synthetic Soul” program, allowing it to have emotional responses. It’s this flawed humanity, however, that connects Dorian and John. And together, they set out to keep the city safe, uncover the criminal conspiracy that threatens to destroy their world … and find their common humanity.
