In the new season of Evil, Kristen, David and Ben continue to assess cases that involve wayward technology, possessed pigs, demonic oppression and infestation, a dance muse conjured by alleged witches and an evil relic. Throughout, Leland attempts to lure Kristen into raising a baby antichrist who was conceived with her ovum. David is recruited by the Vatican’s secret service to “remote view” a paranormal ability to see the unseen in order to detect evil. Ben is hit by an ion beam, causing him to see visions of a taunting jinn until he discovers an unusual solution to banish it.
Finally, all three realize they only have a few weeks left to assess cases because the parish has decided to disband the team due to a lack of funds. This culminates in one last confrontation with Leland and the 60 families that make up Evil in the modern world.

A lost robot bonds with forest creators and becomes a protective mother to an orphaned duckling in DreamWorks Animation’s second The Wild Robot trailer. Based on Peter Brown’s New York Times bestseller, the animated action-adventure opens in theaters on September 27, 2024.
Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o voices the robot who becomes one with nature. Pedro Pascal voices the fox Fink; Catherine O’Hara voices opossum Pinktail; Bill Nighy as goose Longneck; Kit Connor voices gosling Brightbill; and Stephanie Hsu voices Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island. Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames also lend their voices to animated characters.
“The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, ‘Roz’ for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling,” reads DreamWorks Animation.
Three-time Oscar nominee Chris Sanders adapted Brown’s award-winning book and directs. Jeff Hermann serves as a producer.
Bridgerton fans will be treated to Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Demi Lovato covers when season three part two premieres on June 13, 2024. Composer Kris Bowers incorporated Grande’s “POV,” Lovato’s “Confident,” Swift’s “You Belong With Me,” and Ellie Goulding’s “Lights” into episodes five through eight.
“It’s a much more lighthearted feeling, I think, overall,” said Bowers. “There’s obviously the ups and downs that we always have in this show. But with Colin and Pen being friends, with a lot of their interactions having a bit of awkwardness to them — and within this season there are so many stories that we dip into — there’s a lot of fun and lightness that we experience with the music and comedic moments.”
The third #Polin-centric season features the franchise’s first original song, “All I Want,” from songwriters Rogét Chahayed, Wesley Singerman, Taylor Dexter, and Nicole Cohen. Tori Kelly performed the song at the Bridgerton fan wedding, and Bowers arranged an orchestral version for season three episode eight.

“The Serpent Queen tells the story of Catherine de Medici (Morton) who, against all odds, became one of the most powerful and longest-serving rulers in French history,” reads Starz’s synopsis. “In season two, Catherine de Medici is Queen Regent of France now that her son, Charles IX has come of age. Distracted by the personal conflicts of the Valois children, a new mysterious prophet named Edith gains a loyal following who vow to challenge the current religious establishment, sparking tension across the country. Feeling threatened by the rising strain, the divided court turn to their own schemes for selfish benefit. The Guises commit unholy acts while the Bourbons turn to a familiar foreign sovereign, Queen Elizabeth I of England in hopes of personal gain.
As France falls into political and religious turmoil, Catherine struggles to maintain her power, but The Serpent Queen will do whatever she needs to regain control.”
Based on Leonie Frieda’s Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France, The Serpent Queen is written and executive produced by Justin Haythe. Additional executive producers include Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games Franchise) and Erwin Stoff (Edge of Tomorrow). Lionsgate Television and 3 Arts Entertainment produce.

Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe is expanding at AMC Networks with the addition of Anne Rice’s The Talamasca (working title). The new series is targeting a 2025 premiere and has Oscar nominee John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) and Mark Lafferty (Halt and Catch Fire) confirmed as writers, co-showrunners, and executive producers.
The first season will consist of just six episodes airing on AMC and AMC+. Filming is expected to begin this fall in Manchester, England.
“This is a story we’ve been developing and wanting to tell from the earliest moments of this franchise, focused on a fascinating and compelling secret society that has already appeared in both of our existing Anne Rice series, The Talamasca,” stated Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “As with all of these shows, we are thrilled to have such a high level of talent involved, represented here by John Lee Hancock and Mark Lafferty, and of course working closely with producer Mark Johnson as the creative head of our Anne Rice Immortal Universe.”
John Lee Hancock is confirmed to direct.
“This all started for me with a call from Mark Johnson, who asked if I’d ever heard of The Talamasca. I was intrigued by the idea of an organization that, to me, had more than a passing resemblance to the CIA or MI6, which are necessary but not always necessarily transparent. An organization with its own secrets. Thankfully, Dan McDermott liked the take and so did Mark Lafferty, who is so talented and accomplished in the world of television,” said Hancock. “Many thanks to everyone from Gran Via to Mark Lafferty, to our talented writers and everyone at AMC, who have been supporters, advocates and cheerleaders from day one. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be involved and look forward to presenting a third series in the Anne Rice Immortal Universe.”
The new series focuses the men and women responsible for tracking and containing the witches, vampires, werewolves and other creatures scattered around the globe.
“With the second season of Interview with the Vampire currently receiving the best reviews of any show on television and with the production of Mayfair Witches about to wrap in Ireland, promising an even more compelling and unnerving second season, the question is what do we now add to the Immortal Universe of Anne Rice? The answer is a completely different show from the first two, but a show that nevertheless belongs under the Anne Rice umbrella,” said Mark Johnson. “The Talamasca marries the procedural spy thriller with the supernatural and expands the thrills and the pleasures of our franchise’s ambitions.”

Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, and Harry Collett were among the members of Team Black who took part in HBO’s House of the Dragon season two press conference. The new season finds the Seven Kingdoms in a state of chaos, with Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (D’Arcy), Prince Daemon Targaryen (Smith), Prince Jacaerys ‘Jace’ Velaryon (Collett) and their allies preparing for war against the newly crowned King Aegon II Targaryen.
Season two begins with an episode titled “A Son for a Son.” Rhaenyra and Daemon are grieving not just the loss of King Viserys, but also the murder of Prince Lucerys by Prince Aemond. Episode one’s title implies that Luke’s death will be quickly avenged. However, viewers will have to tune in on Sunday, June 16, 2024 at 9pm ET/PT to find out how that might be accomplished.
The following are spoiler-free highlights from House of the Dragon‘s recent press conference in support of the launch of season two.
On the impact of season one’s younger version on her performance in season two:
Emma D’Arcy: “It’s been really nice, actually, coming back to the show. I like to be quite a conscientious worker, so understanding the job description better really suits my conscience. And yeah, I mean I think we’re very lucky. A lot of the work of an actor, I think, is to sort of fill in the unseen time. I think that’s like a lot of the labor, the labor of love is to fill in the unseen time. And in this case, I can actually just watch it on my telly. It’s lovely. [It’s] very unusual to have a sort of character grounding that you can literally watch and return to.
I’ve sort of said this before, but I had never, I suppose, shared the character with another actor with a different age before. I’d never done that timeshare. But I think it does a lovely job of physicalizing, externalizing the split self. I definitely, when I think of myself as a younger person, I think I perceive myself from the outside, as though they were now a person I could have a conversation with and advise or something. So, yeah, I just thought that that sort of structurally, that was beautifully imagined here. Where you can see the younger self from the outside and see the sort of division in time, division of maturity, or something.”
On how the death of King Viserys affects Daemon moving forward:
Matt Smith: “He lost everything. I think it’s all about … Emma mentioned in this meeting we had earlier that kind of grief is the great catalyst of the season in many ways. And I think that, yeah, everything is about the death of his brother, really. Every single action is often related to him. I think it sort of allows this to see a version of Daemon which is slightly more exposed and honest, and he just misses him. Doesn’t even know how to communicate that. It’s quite simple, really. So he’s like a f**king crazy person, which is great.
Yeah, and I miss Paddy [Considine] as well. So, it’s life and art imitating itself.”
On playing a character who isn’t the loudest voice in the room yet wields great power:
Emma D’Arcy: “I suppose I was interested in a character who never expected to find herself in this position. She doesn’t start series one expecting to be heir. And she has a personality that is built by [being] in some way marginal, like still in this deeply privileged royal family. But she gets quite a lot of freedom because she’s not expected to take on responsibility. She’s not expected to be a ruling person.
I guess I was really interested in the total dissolution of self that comes with being told suddenly that actually it’s you. And like suddenly being centered when you had all of your sort of tenacity, your humor comes from being sort of de-centered. I wanted to see what it was like just to watch a person try to put on power and also, I guess, witness how that’s then received by people around her, to varying degrees of success.
I was imagining, especially in season one, what it would be like to take on an incredibly high – walk into an incredibly high-powered job having never done [it]. I mean, I wanted to bring imposter syndrome into fantasy, I suppose, because presumably that would be honest. And then, I suppose by series two, that trepidation has become quite fatigued, I think. I think she is tired of the softer approach, that sort of endless doublethink, a desire to do something and having to choose a path of manipulation or careful persuasion, so that you don’t watch people’s prejudice get weaponized against you. I think that’s starting to run thin by series two.”
On not having any time jumps in season two after the huge leap forward in season one:
Matt Smith: “How has it made it different? Well, l look, I suppose there’s a more condensed period that you see. I mean, you see a lot happen to Daemon in quite a shorter period of time, but it’s just like a more condensed whirlwind, really. It’s still a vortex of chaos and vengeance and madness and sort of weird signs all coupled together. Just sort of squashed into a tiny two-week ball of madness with Simon Russell Beale. He plays Ser Simon Strong who is amazing, by the way. Yeah. So, it was good. It allowed for a good deal of unraveling.”

On Daemon and Rhaenyra’s relationship following Viserys’ death:
Emma D’Arcy: “I think the fact that they can’t communicate really proves an obstacle in the series. I suppose, once again it’s kind of the working of grief. I don’t know that either of them are able to find solace, actually, with each other in this loss of Viserys and the loss of Lucerys, subsequently. I don’t think that they can share that. I don’t feel that Daemon can share his experience of losing his brother. And, yeah, so I think there’s a dislocation taking place.”
Matt Smith: “I agree. I think they can’t unburden themselves from this shadow. And the way he died was so horrendous, and they were right there next to it seeing all of him decompose. I think there’s this sort of elephant in the room constantly that they refer back to. And they sort of weaponize against each other and it’s quite uncomfortable for both.
I think I personally believe that there is a very deep sense of love between the two of them, which is challenged in many quarters. But it’s tested because it’s like he feels unaccepted by her, I think, and reacts as Daemon reacts.”
On if there’s a particular aspect of his incredibly complex character he enjoys delving into:
Matt Smith: “Yeah, I do, loads of them, absolute madman. No, do you know what I quite like about Daemon is that he flies by the beat of his own drum. And that he’s, I think, like his moral compass is his own. I admire that about him. I admire his conviction in his mistakes and his actions. For better or worse, he does them anyway. He’s like a f**kin’ wild man, ‘This is how I’m gonna roll!’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah!’ I play just to that. I like feeling that spirit of chaos and bravado. It’s like walking on a piece of glass. Yeah, it’s that and I like the tightrope that he’s defined for himself.”

On how the hair and costumes helped him get into character:
Harry Collett: “This season it’s just, I always say this, but it is just genuinely like bigger and better. The way the costumes were done, especially this year, it just felt so immersive. As soon as I put that costume on, I just looked at myself in the mirror. I was like, ‘Damn, I’m Jace now.’
It was very, very immersive, especially the whole Winterfell cloak stuff. That was really, really cool. It just felt really surreal. And yeah, [the] props, it’s so in detail. There are scrolls that you can pick up in any room, and it will be written out in Velaryon or something like that. It’s just so unbelievably detailed. And little things like that, when you step on set, it just helps you experience getting into character, and it makes it so much easier.”
On emotional connections and a favorite moment from the new season:
Harry Collett: “I mean for me, personally, I was excited about having that mother/son moment with Rhaenyra because we don’t really get to see them two have any moments like that in season one. And to watch them connect on the script and then finally on screen, it was just really nice because it’s just very real. Obviously, they’ve both been caught up in various things and when they finally just sort of leap into each other’s arms, I just thought that was a really beautiful moment.
Yeah, I don’t think I will say anything else about that…”
Oscar nominee Steve Carell (the voice of Gru) provides a crash course in “The Megaverse” in Illumination’s new Despicable Me 4 featurette.

Kristen Wiig returns as Lucy, Miranda Cosgrove is back as Margo, and Dana Gaier reprises her role as Edith. The voice cast also features Madison Polan as Agnes, Steve Coogan as Silas Ramsbottom, and Pierre Coffin as the voices of the minions.

Joey King (Bullet Train), Stephen Colbert (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), and Chloe Fineman (Saturday Night Live) also voice new characters.
“Following the 2022 summer blockbuster phenomenon of Illumination’s Minions: The Rise of Gru, which earned almost $1 billion worldwide, the biggest global animated franchise in history now begins a new chapter as Gru and Lucy and their girls — Margo, Edith, and Agnes — welcome a new member to the Gru family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad,” reads Illumination’s synopsis. “Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina, and the family is forced to go on the run.”
Oscar nominee Chris Renaud (Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets) directs from a screenplay by Emmy winner Mike White (White Lotus) and Despicable Me veteran Ken Daurio. Patrick Delage co-directs, with Illumination’s founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and Brett Hoffman producing.

CBS’s The Real CSI: Miami marks the first true crime series of the popular CSI franchise. The first season kicks off on June 26, 2024, and focuses on investigations into real-life cases with an emphasis on the families affected by the crimes.
The network released this description of episode one, “The Catch:” On a quiet island in the Florida Keys, a tragic double murder shattered the community. Among the victims was a beloved neighbor and devoted mother, Tara Rosada, who had dreams of a bright future for her family after she finally cut ties with her troubled ex-husband and met a new love, Carlos Ortiz. Florida’s most tech-savvy crime scene investigators utilized cutting-edge data forensic techniques to retrieve deleted, buried, and drowned evidence and bring this community justice, on the series premiere.
This sixth entry in the CSI franchise is executive produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Anthony E. Zuiker, KristieAnne Reed, and Ann Donahue. Additional executive producers include Carol Mendelsohn, Jo Sharon, Casey Kriley, and John Henshaw. The series is produced by JBTV and Magical Elves.
New episodes will air on Wednesdays at 10pm ET/PT.
The original CSI premiered in 2000 followed by CSI: Miami in 2002, CSI: New York in 2004, CSI: Cyber in 2015, and CSI: Vegas in 2021. CSI: Vegas was recently canceled after just three seasons.
Sundance Now and AMC+ have set a June 27, 2024 U.S. premiere date for Domino Day: Lone Witch. The supernatural drama, which premiered on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer earlier this year, follows BAFTA nominee Siena Kelly (Adult Material, Hit & Run) as a modern-day witch who makes use of dating apps … but not to find a date.
New episodes of the six-episode season stream on Thursdays.
“Hailed by critics as ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Charmed,’ this supernatural drama follows Domino Day (Kelly), a powerful young witch with a dark secret – she has to feed on the energy of humans to survive,” reads Sundance Now’s synopsis. “What she doesn’t know is that a coven of witches is already tracking her every move, convinced they have to stop her before her powers destroy everyone and everything around her. When a dangerous figure from Domino’s past comes back to haunt her, will it be a fresh start for them all … or a final showdown?”
Series star Siena Kelly says we’ll meet Domino when she’s in a bad place. “When we meet her she’s already aware she’s a witch and is experiencing this deep hunger that she doesn’t know how to control. The only way she can satiate it is if she feeds on humans, which she doesn’t like doing,” offered Kelly. “It’s scary for her that she can’t control it and she doesn’t even know what she’s trying to control. So it’s her journey of learning how to control this urge and learning where it came from and what it means.”
The season one cast includes Babirye Bukilwa (Dreaming Whilst Black) as Sammie, Poppy Lee Friar (Mr Selfridge) as Geri, Alisha Bailey (Grace) as Kat, and Molly Harris (Industry) as Jules. Sam Howard Sneyd (The Children) plays Silas, Percelle Ascott (I Came By) is Leon, Lucy Cohu (Cobra) is Esme, Christopher Jeffers (The Order One) is Mike, and Jonah Rzeskiewicz (Masters of the Air) is Jason.

Lauren Sequeira (Gangs of London) created the series and serves as writer and executive producer. Eva Sigurdardottir (Good Night) and Nadira Amrani (Extraordinary) direct, and Charlene James (A Discovery of Witches) and Haleema Mirza (Secret Invasion) are season one writers. Additional executive producers include Laurence Bowen, Chris Carey and Elinor Day for Dancing Ledge Productions, and Lucy Richer and Ayela Butt for the BBC.
Sequeira describes the lead character as a very powerful witch who doesn’t understand the extent of her powers. “All she knows is she needs to feed off the energy of others and she uses dating apps to find her victims,” explained Sequeira in an interview with BBC. “There is a coven of witches based in Manchester that see her as a threat and want to stop her before she hurts someone.”
