Actor/director Dev Patel opens this two-minute look behind the scenes of Monkey Man by quoting a quote from the film: “The pain will leave you once it’s finished teaching you.” Patel, who made his feature film directing debut with the action thriller, learned that lesson the hard way, breaking his foot and his hand during shooting.
“I poured all of myself into this. Every frame, every beat, every detail…and it’s been a ferocious process making this film,” explained the Oscar-nominated actor.
Joining Patel in front of the camera are Sharlto Copley (District 9), Pitobash (Million Dollar Arm), Vipin Sharma (Hotel Mumbai), Sikandar Kher (Aarya), Adithi Kalkunte (Hotel Mumbai), and Sobhita Dhulipala (Made in Heaven). Ashwini Kalsekar (Ek Tha Hero), Makarand Deshpande (RRR), Jatin Malik, and Zakir Hussain (Duranga) also star.
“Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash,” reads Universal Pictures’ synopsis. “After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.”
Patel co-wrote the screenplay (based on his original story) with Paul Angunawela and John Collee. Producers include Patel, Jomon Thomas, Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld, Ian Cooper, Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Christine Haebler, Sam Sahni, and Anjay Nagpal. Jonathan Fuhrman, Natalya Pavchinskaya, Jason Cloth, Suraj Maraboyina, Adam Somer, Aaron L. Gilbert, Andria Spring, Alison-Jane Roney, and Steven Thibault executive produced.
The promo for ABC’s Station 19 season seven episode four shows the team’s bound to have a busy shift after someone mentions the “Q” word…quiet. Episode four, “Trouble Man” directed by Stefania Spampinato, will air on Thursday, April 4, 2024 at 10pm ET/PT.
Season seven stars Jaina Lee Ortiz as Andy Herrera, Jason George as Dr. Ben Warren, Grey Damon as Jack Gibson, Barrett Doss as Victoria Hughes, Jay Hayden as Travis Montgomery, and Danielle Savre as Maya Bishop. Boris Kodjoe plays Robert Sullivan, Stefania Spampinato is Dr. Carina DeLuca, Josh Randall is Sean Beckett, Merle Dandridge is Natasha Ross, and Carlos Miranda is Theo Ruiz.
“Trouble Man” Plot: The Station 19 team faces a grueling 24-hour shift that threatens to split them apart. Andy must make an impossible decision, and Maya and Carina navigate new parenthood.

Station 19 follows a group of heroic Seattle firefighters as they put their lives and hearts on the line. From the executive producers of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder, the series takes us inside the tough, tight-knit and sometimes heartbreaking world of the city’s bravest first responders.

Being a neighborhood watch captain is dangerous work, according to Fox’s Alert: Missing Persons Unit season two episode five’s teaser. “Ms. Patty” will air on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at 9pm ET/PT.
Scott Caan stars as Jason Grant and Dania Ramirez is Nikki Batista. Ryan Broussard plays Mike Sherman, Adeola Role is Kemi Adebayo, and Alisha-Marie Ahamed is Wayne Pascal.
“Ms. Patty” Plot: The MPU searches for a kidnapped tough-as-nails neighborhood watch captain. Jason enlists Wayne’s help investigating the car bombing. Mike is concerned Nikki is keeping secrets from him.
Alert: Missing Persons Unit is a procedural drama set in the Philadelphia Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit (MPU). Each episode features a heart-pounding, life-or-death search for a missing person headed by detectives Jason Grant and Nikki Batista. Together with the MPU team, their job is to find the missing or abducted and reunite them with their loved ones. Jason and Nikki, once married, have a very personal connection to these cases as their own young son went missing and was never found. The emotional toll of their son’s disappearance blew up their marriage, but even though they’ve moved on, their bond remains.
Nikki now runs MPU, where she and the team do for others what she wasn’t able to do for herself: bring a loved one back home. At MPU, she leads a highly skilled team, including her fiancé Mike Sherman, whom Nikki met when he was assigned to oversee the search for her son; Kemi Adebayo, a spiritually savvy detective with an astonishing knowledge base; and forensic anthropologist C (recurring guest star and newcomer Petey Gibson), who is a master at reconstructing the faces of those who have disappeared.
As the second season begins, the MPU team step into their new office in headquarters, where Jason and Nikki meet their new boss Inspector Hollis Braun (guest star Gil Bellows), who wants to keep a close eye on the team, particularly the unpredictable Jason Grant. Jason brings his old friend in to help with the case: master hacker Wayne Pascal, who he worked with in Afghanistan. Jason conveniently never told Nikki that Wayne was a woman (and a hot one!), which raises issues even as Nikki and Mike plan their wedding. Together, the team works to find the missing or abducted and help reunite them with their loved ones before it’s too late.
The official trailer for Prime Video’s Them season two, Them: The Scare, reveals the anthology series’ new setting and characters. Season one’s Deborah Ayorinde (Riches, Harriet) returns as a brand new character, starring as an LA detective hunting for a killer.

Williams (Cloak & Dagger), Jeremy Bobb (The Continental), Wayne Knight (Seinfeld), Carlito Olivero (This Is Me… Now), Charles Brice (Homeland), and Iman Shumpert (The Chi) also star.
“Them will once again be set in Los Angeles (the first installment, subtitled Covenant, took place in Compton circa 1952 but will move the time frame forward to 1991). The story centers on LAPD Homicide Detective Dawn Reeve, who is assigned to a new case: the gruesome murder of a foster home mother that has left even the most hardened detectives shaken,” reads Prime Video’s synopsis. “Navigating a tumultuous time in Los Angeles, with a city on the razor’s edge of chaos, Dawn is determined to stop the killer. But as she draws closer to the truth, something ominous and malevolent grips her and her family…”
Little Marvin created the series and serves as the showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Steve Prinz and Vertigo Entertainment’s Miri Yoon and Roy Lee.
Season two premieres on Thursday, April 25, 2024 with the release of all eight episodes.

Scott Kreamer and Aaron Hammersley are the showrunners and serve as executive producers. Additional executive producers include Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow, and Frank Marshall, with Zesung Kang serving as supervising producer.
“Set six years after the events at Camp Cretaceous, members of ‘The Nublar Six’ are struggling to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “Reunited in the wake of a tragedy, the group comes together only to find themselves on the run and catapulted into a global adventure to unravel a conspiracy that threatens dinosaur and humankind alike and finally learn the truth about what happened to one of their own.”
