Luke Kleintank returns to lead the season three cast as Special Agent Scott Forrester. Heida Reed stars as Special Agent Jamie Kellett, Carter Redwood is Special Agent Andre Raines, Vinessa Vidotto plays Special Agent Cameron Vo, Eva-Jane Willis is Europol Agent Megan “Smitty” Garretson, and Christina Wolfe is Special Agent Amanda Tate.
“Red Light” Plot: When a wild night in Amsterdam for three ex-Navy men ends with one found dead in his hotel room, the Fly Team must dive into the red-light district to hunt down his killer. Meanwhile, Tate finds herself in a bind with her ex over custody of their daughter.
FBI: International Season 3 Description, Courtesy of CBS:
From Emmy Award winner Dick Wolf, fast-paced drama FBI: International is the third iteration of the successful FBI brand that follows the elite operatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s International Fly Team. Headquartered in Budapest, they travel throughout Europe with the mission of tracking and neutralizing threats against American citizens wherever they may be, putting their lives on the line to protect the U.S. and its people.
The Fly Team’s Special Agent Scott Forrester, their accomplished and dedicated leader, puts his missions ahead of his personal life. Second in command is Special Agent Jamie Kellett, a heroic and fearless investigator – and her extensive network of informants is a powerful resource. Special Agent Andre Raines shines in the field and makes good use of his accounting background in tracking criminal enterprises’ moving money. Special Agent Cameron Vo, a competitive West Point grad, excels at interrogation and strategy, and Megan “Smitty” Garretson, a streetwise Europol agent with an extensive undercover background, uses her expertise to liaise with each host country they inhabit.
Newly embedded with the Fly Team is Special Agent Amanda Tate, a confident and tech savvy intel analyst, who stays quick on her feet and remains calm in the midst of chaos. Always at the scene where American interests are at risk, FBI: International is a globe-trotting depiction of law enforcement overseas.
Gina Gershon guest stars as Dr. Vanessa Holmes on CBS’s Elsbeth season one episode six, “An Ear for an Ear.” Episode six airs on Thursday, April 25, 2024 at 10pm ET/PT. Nancy Hower directed from a script by Zoe Marshall.
Carrie Preston leads the season one cast in the title role. Wendell Pierce stars as Captain C.W. Wagner and Carra Patterson plays Officer Kaya Blanke. Jonathan Tolins guides the series as showrunner and also executive produces along with Liz Glotzer.
On April 18, 2024, CBS confirmed that Elsbeth has been renewed for a second season. Expect the popular primetime drama to return for the 2024-2025 season.
“An Ear for an Ear” Plot: After one of New York’s most sought-after plastic surgeons is found dead, Elsbeth has her eye on the victim’s former boss, Dr. Vanessa Holmes (Gershon), who she believes has motives that are more than skin-deep. Also, Kaya keeps tabs on Elsbeth’s whereabouts as her investigation into Captain Wagner heats up.
Emmy Award winner Carrie Preston stars as Elsbeth Tascioni, an astute but unconventional attorney who utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD. After leaving her successful legal career in Chicago to tackle a new investigative role in New York City, she finds herself jockeying with the toast of the NYPD, Captain C.W. Wagner (Pierce), a charismatic and revered leader. Working alongside Elsbeth is Officer Kaya Blanke (Patterson), a stoic and ethical officer who quickly develops an appreciation for Elsbeth’s insightful and offbeat ways.
Recently, we posited that Sasquatch Sunset might be the weirdest movie of the year. Well, stop the presses. We have a challenger. Hundreds of Beavers has entered the chat.
Hundreds of Beavers is about a drunken frontiersman named Jean Kayak (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) who, after losing his applejack brewing business, decides to go into trapping. He learns the trade from a mentor (Wes Tank), seeks guidance from a Native American local (Luis Rico), and as he brings beaver pelts to the trader (Doug Mancheski), he acquires more equipment that helps him grow his new venture. He even finds himself smitten with the trader’s daughter (Olivia Graves), and in order to impress her and her father, he embarks on a quest to bring in as many beaver pelts as he can. Hundreds of them.
Unfortunately for him, the beavers are not on board with this plan.
Hundreds of Beavers is the brainchild of writer/director Mike Cheslik and co-writer Ryland Brickson Cole Tews (who also stars in the lead), the guys who are also responsible for the 2018 creature comedy Lake Michigan Monster. The story is told in the form of a classic silent film, shown in black and white with all of the purposeful overacting and silly music that goes with it.
But the silent film aesthetic is not the movie’s only gimmick. Not by a long shot. All of the animals in the film, all the beavers, rabbits, raccoons, dogs, and all others, are portrayed by actors in mascot costumes. And this is what Jean Kayak is doing battle with over the course of the movie. It’s ridiculous in the very best way possible. Laugh-out-loud hysterical. It’s like a feature-length Looney Tunes cartoon.
And it only gets more and more ludicrous as the film goes on. Which makes it get more and more awesome. By the climax, it turns into a video game-inspired, stunt choreography-filled action flick, with Jean Kayak battling, well, Hundreds of Beavers, in a Kill Bill-style rumble.
At first, one wonders how the filmmakers are going to keep this concept going for close to two hours, but they do. Hundreds of Beavers does not overstay its welcome in the least. It’s a riot from start to finish.
Watching Hundreds of Beavers is sort of like experiencing a fever dream. Nothing about it is grounded in reality, and that’s what’s so entertaining about it. Both physics and biology take a massive beating at the hands of director Cheslik. Anything can (and does) happen, and watching it happen is hilarious. It is literally a live-action cartoon, full of slapstick comedy and visual gags.
Possibly the best part about Hundreds of Beavers is the fact that, despite the main human characters all being fur trappers and traders, there is no animal cruelty in it whatsoever. Of course, animals get beat up and killed, but they’re all either puppets or people in costumes. So there’s nothing for PETA to get upset about. And watching people flop around in costumes getting hurt is fun. That’s slapstick!
While Sasquatch Sunset is a nature documentary gone wild, Hundreds of Beavers is absurdist fiction at its finest. Both are wildly creative and different from anything else that will be seen this (or any) year, and both will have their detractors who just think that they are stupid. That’s okay. We don’t need those kinds of people at this party. Hundreds of Beavers is comedic gold, and nothing can take that away from it.

CBS’s FBI season six episode 10 finds the team dealing with a ruthless leader of a cult. Episode 10, “Family Affair,” will air on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 8pm ET/PT. Alex Zakrzewski directed from a script by Bryce Ahart and Stephanie McFarlane.
Season six stars Missy Peregrym as Special Agent Maggie Bell, Zeeko Zaki as Special Agent Omar Adom “OA” Zidan, and Jeremy Sisto as Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine. Alana De La Garza plays Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille, John Boyd is Special Agent Stuart Scola, and Katherine Renee Kane stars as Special Agent Tiffany Wallace.
“Family Affair” Plot: After an FDIC security guard is killed while tending to a pregnant woman in distress, the team works to locate the woman and the killer who took her hostage. Meanwhile, OA and Isobel worry about Maggie as she navigates taking care of Ella.
From Emmy Award winner Dick Wolf and the team behind the Law & Order brand, FBI is a fast-paced drama about the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect, and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe.
Born into a multigenerational law enforcement family, Special Agent Maggie Bell commits deeply to the people she works with as well as those she protects. Her partner is Special Agent Omar Adom “OA” Zidan, a West Point graduate via Bushwick who spent two years undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the FBI. Overseeing them is Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille, who operates under intense pressure and has undeniable command authority.
The team also includes Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, the nerve center of the office whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator. The smart and outspoken Special Agent Tiffany Wallace, who spent six years with the NYPD, is partner to Special Agent Stuart Scola, an Ivy League-educated Wall Streeter-turned-FBI agent. These first-class agents tenaciously investigate cases of tremendous magnitude, including terrorism, organized crime, and counterintelligence.

Welcome to Wrexham Synopsis, Courtesy of FX:
In 2020, Rob and Ryan teamed up to purchase the 5th tier Red Dragons in the hopes of turning the Club into an underdog story the whole world could root for. The world took notice and change is afoot. After 15 painful seasons in the National League, the Club finally achieved promotion back into the English Football League. The stakes have never been higher as League Two brings a new level of intensity and the Club continues to be plagued with injury and setbacks.
Dedicated staff and supporters celebrate the city’s return to glory while bracing for the new-found challenges that come with a return to the EFL. Will Wrexham AFC stand up to the challenge and rise again?
Meanwhile, Wrexham AFC’s Women’s Team, fresh off an undefeated season that saw them promoted to the Welsh Adran Premier League, continue to show why women were meant to be footballers. With new players, a new pitch, and a whole new level of competition, can they continue to dominate and make a name for themselves at the top of the League?
For the first time ever in season three, with the team taking their place in the EFL, Welcome to Wrexham’s cameras will have unprecedented access on the pitch, bringing viewers inside the locker room and alongside the players, while the action is unfolding in some of the biggest matches Wrexham AFC has ever played.

CBS’s Ghosts season three episode eight welcomed back Flower (yes!) after the ghosts finally figured out she was trapped in a well. The episode also revealed Hetty’s tragic backstory, a secret she gave up because she was the only one capable of rescuing Flower. Prepare for another unexpected revelation in episode nine when Pete figures out his special ghost power.
“The Traveling Agent” airs on Thursday, April 25, 2024 at 8:30pm ET/PT. Christine Gernon directed from a script by Skander Halim and Emily Schmidt.
Rose McIver stars as Sam, Utkarsh Ambudkar is Jay, Brandon Scott Jones is Isaac, and Richie Moriarty is Pete. Danielle Pinnock plays Alberta, Asher Grodman is Trevor, Román Zaragoza is Sasappis, Rebecca Wisocky plays Hetty, Devan Chandler Long stars as Thorfinn, and Sheila Carrasco is Flower.
“The Traveling Agent” Plot: Pete discovers a power that he never knew he had – one that brings him closer to his buddy Jay (and further apart).
Ghosts is a single-camera comedy about Samantha (Sam) and Jay, a cheerful freelance journalist and up-and-coming chef from the city, respectively, who threw both caution and money to the wind when they decided to convert Woodstone Mansion, which Sam in inherited, into a bed & breakfast – only to find it was inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home.
The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer (Danielle Pinnock); a pompous 18th-century militiaman (Brandon Scott Jones); an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader (Richie Moriarty); a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009 (Devon Chandler Long); a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens (Sheila Carrasco); a slick ‘90s finance bro (Asher Grodman); a sarcastic and witty native from the 16th-century (Román Zaragoza); and a society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron who is Sam’s ancestor (Rebecca Wisocky), to name a few.
The opening of the B&B has been a source of intrigue, anxiety and curiosity among the spirits, but they will gladly put up with the commotion as long as they can continue to interact with a living inhabitant.
Colin Farrell and Amy Ryan in ‘Sugar’ season 1 episode 4 (Photo Credit: Apple TV+)
We’ve arrived at the halfway point of Apple TV+’s Sugar with episode four, and we still haven’t discovered John Sugar’s real mission. After a brief video from Olivia Siegel (before she went missing), episode four finds John (Colin Farrell) finally showing up for an appointment with Dr. Vickers. For some reason, the visit reminds him The Thing starring Kurt Russell. He describes the scene from The Thing where a chest with teeth bites off arms.
Why is he bringing this up now? That’s unclear.
Although his vitals are good, the doctor is concerned that he might be depressed. John is in the middle of denying that’s true when his arm spasms. Vickers is worried John’s not okay, and John wonders to himself why Vickers and Ruby both believe something’s wrong. He thinks something’s up, but doesn’t know what.
David Siegel (Nate Corddry) and Kenny (Alex Hernandez) arrive at Helen Sugar’s home in Arizona and she recognizes David from the movies. She welcomes them in and confirms she’s John’s mom. They pay Helen a brief visit and after they leave, Helen informs John about their discussion. She warns John to be careful; David will not stop digging until he figures out the truth.
Meanwhile, David’s dad, Bernie Siegel (Dennis Boutsikaris), is home looking through old photos of Olivia’s deceased actress mother.
John calls Ruby (Kirby) for updates on Stallings, the man who’s a cohort of the dead guy from Olivia’s trunk. Ruby, who deleted all of Stallings’ records in episode three, lies and says she’s not finding much. She claims he’s only been involved in minor criminal activities, which is far from the truth.
John and Wiley head back to the hotel and Melanie (Amy Ryan) is waiting for them. After giving very good boy Wiley lots of love, she reveals Teresa (Carmen’s sister) has made it safely to San Diego. Also, she just remembered seeing Olivia and some girl caught up in an intense conversation. The stranger was extremely upset, but Melanie didn’t interrupt their conversation.
Although the incident took place six weeks ago, John and Melanie visit the shops in the area to see if anyone remembers seeing Olivia. They hit pay dirt when they stop by a record store and the young woman working there recognizes Olivia as a friend of Taylor. (She only opened up because she’s a huge fan of Melanie’s.)
Their next stop is Taylor’s place, and she’s reluctant to talk but eventually lets them in. Taylor (Isabella Riggs) reveals that she saw Olivia posting stories on Instagram about helping abused women and called her out on it. It turns out Taylor knows David Siegel, and he volunteered to work with her to get a part in his dad’s next film. But then he wouldn’t stop texting her and asking to come over. She turned him down, in no uncertain terms, and he sent a video of them having sex. He had hidden cameras at his place, and they hooked up there just once years ago.
Taylor became deeply upset and felt violated. And then he threatened to release the video if she didn’t allow him to have sex any way he wanted. She went to the cops but once she mentioned Jonathan Siegel, they didn’t look into it. Bernie’s lawyer offered her money to sign an NDA and Taylor refused.
Taylor shared all this with Olivia, and Olivia wasn’t surprised. She confessed that sexual blackmail is her brother’s thing. Apparently, he’s done it dozens of times. Melanie did not know that David’s a predator, or that Bernie has been covering for him. But Olivia knew and now she’s gone. Are the two things connected?
David calls his mom on the way back from Arizona and she suggests he doesn’t tell his dad just yet.
John wants to meet with Jonathan Siegel, and Jonathan’s assistant gives John a ticket to a retrospective of classic film star Lorraine Everly. (Lorraine and Jonathan were married for 23 years and made six films together.) It’s a crowded event, and Jonathan (James Cromwell) promises they’ll have a chat after the screening.

Jonathan and his son, Bernie, pose on the red carpet while quietly insulting each other’s parenting skills. David’s mother and Bernie’s ex-wife, Margit (Anna Gunn), introduces herself to John and asks leading questions about what he knows about her son. John holds his cards close to his vest and doesn’t answer.
Next, John confronts Bernie about David’s secrets, assuring him it’ll all come out sometime. John lets Bernie know that he’s aware of Bernie’s part in the coverup.
After their brief but telling talk, John feels no closer to understanding how David being a sex offender fits in with Olivia being missing. John notices that right after Melanie arrives, she looks at Bernie and then texts him. John wonders if he’s misjudged Melanie and if she knows more about Bernie’s coverup than she let on.
John talks movies with the projectionist while keeping his eye on a bank of security cameras. He sees Melanie and Bernie meeting in a hallway and it’s obvious that Melanie’s upset with Bernie.
John allows himself to relax and enjoy the film. After it’s over, Jonathan takes the stage for a Q&A but it’s abruptly cut short. David’s disgusting secret has hit the news, and Jonathan exits the stage just as the story break. Cell phones light up throughout the theater as everyone learns about David’s sexual assaults.
Jonathan makes it backstage before having a heart attack. The paramedics are able to revive him.
Stallings phones David to see how he’s doing and to warn him not to mention his name in any interviews with cops, reporters, or John Sugar. If he does, there will be hell to pay.
The scene switches to show Stallings exiting a room in his house and closing a padlock. His thugs are hanging out in the living room and Stallings orders them to keep looking for Clifford. He’s heading down south, but they need to follow up with Melanie and find out who John Sugar is.
Stalling leaves his female minion in charge while he’s gone. She needs to guard the locked door to his “special project,” and shoot anyone who comes near it. Also, she needs to feed his two Dobermans.
John returns to his hotel room and retrieves the photos from Olivia’s suitcase. He pulls up a still from the Lorraine Everly film he just watched and compares the dress she’s wearing to the one Olivia’s mom, Rachel Kaye (Natalie Alyn Lind), posed in for the risqué Polaroids. He wonders why Bernie’s wife would be wearing that same dress 30 years after his mother wore it in a movie.
Next, he opens up Olivia’s social media and watches one of her videos. In the video, Olivia expresses her belief that the entire human race is doomed. She also confesses that someone’s been watching her. She’s scared.

Prime Video made it official: Fallout has been renewed for season two. The second season order isn’t the least bit surprising. After only four days in release, season one joined the streaming service’s top three list of most-watched titles of all time.
“Holy sh*t. Thank you to Jonah [Nolan], Kilter, Bethesda, and Amazon for having the courage to make a show that gravely tackles all of society’s most serious problems these days — cannibalism, incest, jello cake. More to come!” said Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner, executive producers, creators, and co-showrunners.
Based on the popular video game series by Bethesda, Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) stars as Lucy, Aaron Moten (Emancipation) is Maximus, Walton Goggins (The Hateful Eight) is the Ghoul, and Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks) is Overseer Hank MacLean. Jonah Nolan and Lisa Joy serve as executive producers, with Nolan directing season one’s first three episodes.
“Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have captivated the world with this ground-breaking, wild ride of a show. The bar was high for lovers of this iconic video game and so far we seem to have exceeded their expectations while bringing in millions of new fans to the franchise. The cast, led by Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan, have knocked it out of the park!” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios. “We’d like to thank Jonah and Lisa and our friends at Bethesda for bringing the show to us as well as Geneva and Graham for coming aboard as showrunners. We are thrilled to announce season two after only one week out and take viewers even farther into the surreal world of Fallout.”
Additional executive producers include Kilter Films’ Athena Wickham, Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard, and Bethesda Softworks’ James Altman.
“Praise be to our insanely brilliant showrunners, Geneva and Graham, to our kick-ass cast, to Todd and James and all the legends at Bethesda, and to Jen, Vernon, and the amazing team at Amazon for their incredible support of this show. We can’t wait to blow up the world all over again,” said Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, Kilter Films.
Season one’s cast included Moisés Arias, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams, and Frances Turner. Dave Register, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton, Rodrigo Luzzi, Annabel O’Hagan, and Xelia Mendes-Jones also star.
The first season premiered on April 10, 2024. Prime Video hasn’t announced when we can expect season two to debut.
Fallout Series Description, Courtesy of Prime Video:
Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.
Ella Purnell is Lucy, an optimistic Vault-dweller with an all-American can-do spirit. Her peaceful and idealistic nature is tested when she is forced to the surface to rescue her father. Aaron Moten is Maximus, a young soldier who rises to the rank of squire in the militaristic faction called the Brotherhood of Steel. He will do anything to further the Brotherhood’s goals of bringing law and order to the wasteland. Walton Goggins is the Ghoul, a morally ambiguous bounty hunter who holds within him a 200-year history of the post-nuclear world.
These disparate parties collide when chasing an artifact from an enigmatic researcher that has the potential to radically change the power dynamic in this world.
