Poster for ‘Dexter: New Blood’ (Photo Courtesy of Showtime)
Showtime’s taking a deep dive into the world of Dexter, the serial killer who kills serial killers, with an origin series and more of Dexter: New Blood. The origin story, currently titled Dexter: Origins but that may change, will examine Dexter Morgan’s backstory.
Per Showtime: “Dexter: Origins will dramatize young Dexter Morgan at the outset of his transition into the avenging serial killer he would become. Set in the Miami that was a hotbed of real serial killers of his time, the show will begin as Dexter graduates college to join Miami Metro, where he meets younger versions of many of the characters we came to know in the original Dexter. And, of course, the show will also focus on Dexter’s family, including a very-much-alive Harry and a very formidable, teenage Deb.”
Dexter starring Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter premiered in October 2006 and wrapped up its eight-season run in September 2013. In November 2021, Showtime launched the follow-up series Dexter: New Blood which caught up with the serial killer in hiding. The 10-episode season introduced Dexter’s teenage son, Harrison (played by Jack Alcott).
“The Dexter saga has been an undeniable creative and popular success for Showtime, both in its original, groundbreaking form and the record-setting Dexter: New Blood,” said Chris McCarthy, President/CEO, Showtime and Paramount Media Networks. “The series is a rich foundation for other shows in the lane of complex, subversive antiheroes that Showtime has always done so brilliantly. Clyde (Phillips) is deep into compelling stories and characters that will satisfy the cravings of our multifaceted audience.”
Emmy nominee Clyde Phillips is executive producing Dexter: Origins. “I couldn’t be more excited about exploring and expanding the universe of Dexter. It’s a privilege to contemplate going even deeper with these complex and iconic characters – and the stories, themes and possibilities they inspire. I’m thrilled that Chris and my friends at Showtime want me to help them grow this truly unique and amazingly successful franchise.”
Showtime describes Dexter: New Blood as a new incarnation of the 2021-22 drama that’s Showtime’s most-watched series in its history. “The drama focuses on Dexter’s son Harrison, who survived his tumultuous reintroduction with his father and flees to New York City where he must wrestle with his own violent nature and whether, like his father, he too is compelled to kill. Dexter: New Blood will explore the kinds of themes and scenarios seen in the original series on Showtime but through a new lens.” – per Showtime.
The network’s also considering adding to the Dexter universe with series centering on other characters.
HBO’s acknowledging the dilemma presented to audiences of choosing between watching The Last of Us and Super Bowl LVII – which pits the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles – by upping the release of episode five. Instead of having to wait until Super Bowl Sunday to check it out, fans can catch episode five on HBO Max and HBO On Demand beginning on Friday, February 10, 2023 at 9pm ET/6pm PT.
Episode five will debut on HBO on Sunday, February 12th at 9pm ET/PT. Episodes six and on, leading up to the March 12th season finale, will air on HBO and HBO Max in their regular Sundays at 9pm ET/PT timeslot.
The Last of Us is one of the best video game adaptations in television – or film, for that matter – history. The series is based on the PlayStation games developed by Naughty Dog and was co-created by Emmy Award winner Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) and Neil Druckmann (creator/writer of “The Last of Us” franchise and Naughty Dog Co-President) who serve as writers and executive producers. Carolyn Strauss, Evan Wells, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan, and Rose Lam also executive produce.
Pedro Pascal (the host of the funniest episode of SNL this season) and Bella Ramsey lead the cast as Joel and Ellie, respectively. Gabriel Luna is Tommy, Anna Torv played Tess, Nico Parker is Sarah, Murray Bartlett played Frank, Nick Offerman played Bill, and Melanie Lynskey is Kathleen. Storm Reid is Riley, Merle Dandridge is Marlene, Jeffrey Pierce is Perry, Lamar Johnson is Henry, Keivonn Woodard is Sam, Graham Greene is Marlon, and Elaine Miles is Florence. Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker also star.
The nine-episode first season premiered on Sunday, January 15, 2023. HBO renewed the popular, critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic drama for a second season in January 2022 but has not announced a target date for its premiere.
The Plot: The Last of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal and heartbreaking journey as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.
Netflix is sharing the first teaser from the adult animated series Agent Elvis and the streaming service has confirmed Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) will be voicing the King of Rock and Roll. McConaughey’s providing the voice of Elvis Presley in the series created by Elvis’s ex-wife Priscilla Presley and John Eddie.
The animated show’s Elvis is a “global superstar by day, ass-kicking vigilante by night who eventually joins the secret agency ‘TCB’ as Agent Elvis.”
Described as an action comedy, Agent Elvis finds Elvis Presley trading in his jumpsuit for a jet pack when he is covertly inducted into a secret government spy program to battle the dark forces that threaten the country he loves – all while holding down his day job as the King of Rock and Roll.
Mike Arnold is the head writer and handles showrunner duties with writer John Eddie. Arnold, Eddie, Priscilla Presley, Matthew McConaughey, Kevin Noel, Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, Ben Kalina, Jamie Salter, Corey Salter, and Marc Rosen executive produce.

Netflix also released a poster and photos from season one which is targeting a March 2023 premiere. Academy Award nominee Robert Valley brings Elvis’s look into the animated world while fashion designer John Varvatos designs Agent Elvis’s wardrobe.
There’s been a resurgence in interest in the groundbreaking music icon after the release of Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic. Debuting in theaters on June 24, 2022, the music-driven film starring Austin Butler has earned more than $287 million at the box office and has been nominated for eight Oscars.

Screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna (Devil Wears Prada, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) makes her feature film directorial debut with the Netflix romantic comedy Your Place or Mine. McKenna really scored with her first directing gig, snagging romantic comedy veterans Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher in starring roles.
Witherspoon and Kutcher play best friends who reside on opposite coasts. Debbie and Peter had a one-night stand 20 years ago and although the romantic relationship ended pretty much as soon as it began, they’ve remained friends through thick and thin. When Debbie needs to spend some time in New York City, she and Peter swap homes, with Peter playing babysitter to Debbie’s son and taking up residence in her LA home. A change in location sparks a change in perspective, with Debbie and Peter realizing there might be more to their relationship than either previously considered.
McKenna’s screenplay is based on personal experience, and during a press conference with Witherspoon, Kutcher, Zoe Chao, Jesse Williams, and Wesley Kimmel, the BAFTA nominee said she’s had the idea for this film for quite a while. “I wanted to do a romantic comedy for people who have been through something in their lives and have accumulated some life experience,” explained McKenna. “It just felt very personal to me through the whole process.”
Before becoming a brand consultant, Peter wanted to be a writer. To get into that mindset McKenna sent Kutcher 10 books before filming began. “She’s like, ‘You need to read all of these.’ And every one of the books had notecards in them about what Peter got from this book, specifically, like, what he got as a writer from this book,” said Kutcher. “I actually fell in love with reading fiction again from this experience. So that was kind of fun and refreshing.”
Reese Witherspoon joked that McKenna sent her 25 books. “So, I called her and I said, ‘I have three children. I’m running a company, and I have a full-time other job. I’m not reading these books,” recalled Witherspoon, laughing. “But they would look really good on the set – and they did.”

Because the action in Your Place or Mine takes place on opposite coasts, Witherspoon and Kutcher are rarely in the same room together. Asked about developing a best friend vibe, Witherspoon and Kutcher engaged in a fun back-and-forth discussion of how they got to know each other.
“Well, we decided probably a month before we started shooting… I had sort of a little panic attack because we didn’t know each other,” said Witherspoon.
“We didn’t know each other,” agreed Kutcher.
“But we fully had met one time at a party, and it was weird,” added Witherspoon.
“And I was sharing a cooler,” chimed in Kutcher.
“And he was weird,” said Witherspoon.
“She thought that I was quirky,” explained Kutcher.
“I said quirky, but I really thought weird,” corrected Witherspoon, laughing. “Anyway, I’m kidding. I’m kidding. We were quirky. And then, so about a month before, I was like, ‘I don’t know this guy, and we’re supposed to be best friends for 20 years.’ So, we started sending each other videos every day.”
Kutcher added: “Every day, we would send back and forth videos of how’s your day going? What’s going on? What’s happening with you? What are you afraid of?’ Like, ‘Hold on, if you had pancakes, would it be syrup?’”
“Who’s your best friend?” suggested Witherspoon. “Yeah, and like, why are they your best friend?”
Witherspoon revealed the unusual preparation process was actually a really fun experience. “And then our kids would get in the videos and our dogs. You met my dad on my video.”
By the time filming began, Witherspoon and Kutcher were used to communicating the same way their characters do in the film.
“We should put a little compilation video together of all our videos,” suggested Witherspoon.
We may never see that video, but romantic comedy fans will be able to check out Your Place or Mine when it arrives on Netflix on February 10, 2023.
What was supposed to be a day of fun turns into a nightmare for fair visitors on CBS’s Fire Country season one episode 14. Directed by Kantu Lentz from a script by Sara Casey and Manuel Herrera, episode 14 – “A Fair to Remember” – will air on Friday, February 10, 2023 at 9pm ET/PT.
Max Thieriot leads the cast as Bode Donovan. Season one’s regulars include Billy Burke as Vince, Kevin Alejandro as Manny, Diane Farr as Sharon, Stephanie Arcila as Gabriela, Jordan Calloway as Jake, and Jules Latimer as Eve.
“A Fair to Remember” Plot: The crews respond to mass chaos and injuries when a ride malfunctions at the annual Edgewater town fair. Meanwhile, Sharon receives life-changing news.
Fire Country stars Max Thieriot as Bode Donovan, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region. It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son until his troubles began.
Five years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption with Cal Fire.
