The Season 5 Plot, Courtesy of NBC:

Magnum P.I. is a modern take on the classic series centering on Thomas Magnum, a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. A charming rogue, an American hero and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum lives in a guest cottage on Robin’s Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business.

The “majordomo” of the property is Juliet Higgins, a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent whose second job is to keep Magnum in line, with the help of her two Dobermans. When Magnum needs backup on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors Theodore ‘TC’ Calvin, a former Marine chopper pilot who runs Island Hoppers, a helicopter tour business, and Orville “Rick” Wright, a former Marine door-gunner-turned-impresario of Oahu’s coolest nightclub and the most connected man on the island.

With keys to a vintage Ferrari in one hand, aviator sunglasses in the other, and an Old Düsseldorf longneck chilling in the fridge, Thomas Magnum is back on the case!

The Plot, Courtesy of Fox:

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 that runs alongside police officers JASON GRANT (Caan) and NIKKI BATISTA’s (Ramirez) season-long quest to find out the truth about their long-lost son.

Six years ago, while working overseas, Jason received the call that every parent fears – he and Nikki’s son, KEITH (Verchere), had gone missing. From that moment forward, the lives of Jason, Nikki and their daughter, SYDNEY (Stewart), were turned upside down. The frantic search to find Keith began and the mystery about his disappearance continues to this day.

Throughout the search to find Keith, Jason and Nikki’s marriage deteriorated and they grew apart. Jason moved into private security, while Nikki was promoted within the Philly P.D. to Head of the MPU, where she has been able to do for others what she wasn’t able to do for herself, bring a loved one back home.

At the MPU, she leads a team of highly skilled individuals including her current love interest MIKE (Broussard), whom Nikki met when he was assigned to oversee the search for Keith; KEMI (Role), who is proficient in many languages, highly discerning of visual clues, and uses her know-how as a shaman to take a holistic approach to her job; and forensic anthropologist C (Gibson), who is a master at reconstructing the faces of those who have disappeared. Together, the team works to find the missing, abducted, or kidnapped and help reunite them with their loved ones before it’s too late.

Industry‘s Marisa Abela has been cast as Amy Winehouse in the biopic Back to Black. The film has the blessing of Amy Winehouse’s estate and will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey) from a screenplay by Matt Greenhalgh. Taylor-Johnson and Greenhalgh previously worked together on 2009’s Nowhere Boy.

Filming is expected to kick off in London on Monday, January 16, 2023. Studiocanal, Focus Features, and Monumental Pictures are working together on the project.

“We are thrilled that Studiocanal, Focus Features, and Monumental are making this movie celebrating our daughter Amy’s extraordinary music legacy and showcasing her talent in the way that it deserves.” – The Amy Winehouse Estate.

Back to Black will feature Winehouse’s hits and has the support of Universal Music Group and Sony Music Publishing.

“My connection to Amy began when I left college and was hanging out in the creatively diverse London borough of Camden. I got a job at the legendary KOKO CLUB, and I can still breathe every market stall, vintage shop and street… A few years later Amy wrote her searingly honest songs whilst living in Camden. Like with me, it became part of her DNA,” said Taylor-Johnson.

Taylor-Johnson added: “I first saw her perform at a talent show at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in Soho and it was immediately obvious she wasn’t just ’talent’… she was genius. As a filmmaker, you can’t really ask for more. I feel excited and humbled to have this opportunity to realize Amy’s beautifully unique and tragic story to cinema accompanied by the most important part of her legacy – her music. I am fully aware of the responsibility, with my writing collaborator – Matt Greenhalgh – I will create a movie that we will all love and cherish forever. Just like we do Amy.”

Taylor-Johnson will also serve as an executive producer along with Nicky Kentish-Barnes, Joe Naftalin, and Rn Halpern. Monumental Pictures’ Alison Owen and Debra Hayward will serve as producers.

“Amy Winehouse is the greatest musical talent of the 21st century so far. But like so many female icons, the tragedy of her death has seemed to obscure the triumph of her talent…the fun of the noughties, the craziness of Camden, her youth and brilliance – we want to reclaim that for her, with this film,” stated producer Owen.

“It is our enormous pleasure and privilege to produce and bring this movie to audiences. We are incredibly grateful to our partners at The Amy Winehouse Estate, Universal Music Group, and Sony Music Publishing to have the opportunity to tell Amy Winehouse’s story with the use of her extraordinary music – to our partners at Focus Features – and to our amazing director, Sam Taylor-Johnson, and star Marisa Abela, who we are so excited to be working with,” said STUDIOCANAL EVP Global Production Ron Halpern and SVP Global Production Joe Naftalin.

Naftalin added: “Amy Winehouse was a once-in-a-generation talent – and with our producing partners at Monumental Pictures, we will endeavor to do her proud with this movie – and create a music-driven event picture for audiences new and old that will make us all laugh, cry – and to truly celebrate Amy and her genius.”

Studiocanal, Focus Features, and Monumental Pictures released the following description of Back to Black:

“Amy Winehouse is widely considered one of the greatest artists in recent history, selling more than 30 million records worldwide, and today generating more than 80 million streams per month. Her acclaimed produced 2006 album Back To Black, propelled her to global stardom, going on to win a (then) record-breaking 5 Grammy Awards, including Record Of The Year and Song of The Year for hit single Rehab. Back to Black will focus on Amy’s extraordinary genius, creativity, and honesty that infused everything she did.

A journey that took her from the craziness and colour of 90’s Camden High Street to global adoration – and back again, Back to Black crashes through the looking glass of celebrity to watch this journey from behind the mirror, to see what Amy saw, to feel what she felt.”

‘So Help Me Todd’ Episode 12 “Psilo-Sibling” Photos, Cast, and Plot Details

When CBS’s So Help Me Todd returns from its three-week break, it’ll be with an episode that welcomes back Matthew Wilkas as Margaret’s oldest son. Directed by Alison LeRoi from a script by Nicole French, season one episode 12 is scheduled to air on Thursday, February 2, 2023 at 9pm ET/PT.

Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden stars as Margaret Wright, Skylar Astin plays Todd Wright, and Tristen J. Winger is Lyle. Madeline Wise plays Allison, Inga Schlingmann is Susan, and Rosa Arredondo stars as Francey.

“Psilo-Sibling” Plot – Lawrence (Wilkas) and the governor seek Margaret’s help with a personal legal matter related to the governor’s sister, and while Margaret is ecstatic to be of assistance, Lawrence refuses to let Todd anywhere near the case.

Episode 12 guest stars include Lossen Chambers, Nancy Kerr, Nefetari Spencer, Donavon Stinson, Christian Sloan, Julie Lynn Mortensen, and Cynthia Loewen. Monique Helbig, James R. Baylis, Michasha Armstrong, and Paige Gibbs also guest star.

The Plot:

Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin star as razor-sharp, meticulous attorney Margaret Wright and Todd, her talented but scruffy, aimless son whom she hires as her law firm’s in-house investigator. As the black sheep of the well-heeled Wright family, Todd is a laidback, quick-thinking, excellent former private detective who fell on hard times after his flexible interpretation of the law got his license revoked. Margaret’s penchant for excellence and strict adherence to the law is at complete odds with Todd’s scrappy methods of finding his way through sticky situations: by the seat of his wrinkled pants.

When Todd inadvertently teams with his mother on a case, she’s surprised to find herself duly impressed by – and proud of – his crafty ability to sleuth out information with his charm and his wide-ranging tech savvy. At last, Margaret sees a way to put her son on a “suitable” path to living an adult, financially solvent life she approves of, and she asks him to join her firm. Todd agrees since it means getting his license back and once again doing the job he excels at and loves.

Mother and son working together is a big first step toward mending their fragile, dysfunctional relationship, and they may even come away with a better understanding of each other at this pivotal point in their lives. But whether Todd and Margaret will be able to accept each other for who they are is another case entirely.

‘Ghosts’ Season 2 Episode 13 Photos, Cast and Plot: “Ghost Hunter”

CBS’s Ghosts, which was just renewed for a third season, will return from a three-week break with an episode that finds Freddie (Sam and Jay’s new assistant) convinced the bed & breakfast is haunted. Season two episode 13, “Ghost Hunter,” will air on Thursday, February 2, 2023 at 8:30pm ET/PT.

Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar lead the cast as Samantha and Jay, the living residents of the mansion. Playing the mansion’s resident ghosts are Brandon Scott Jones as Isaac, Richie Moriarty as Pete, Danielle Pinnock as Alberta, and Asher Grodman as Trevor. Román Zaragoza stars as Sasappis, Sheila Carrasco plays Flower, Rebecca Wisocky is Hetty, and Devan Chandler Long plays Thorfinn.

“Ghost Hunter” Plot: Sam and Jay’s assistant, Freddie (Mike Lane), purchases ghost-hunting equipment when suspicious activity leads him to theorize the B&B is haunted. Also, Sasappis risks losing his relationship with Jessica (Nichole Sakura) when Freddie sells his car.

Alex Hardcastle directed from a script by Rishi Chitkara.

The Plot:

Ghosts is a single-camera comedy about Samantha 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 decide to convert a huge rundown country estate they 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 (Pinnock); a pompous 18th-century militiaman (Jones); a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens (Carrasco); an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader (Moriarty); a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009 (Devon Chandler Long); a slick ‘90s finance bro (Grodman); a sarcastic and witty native from the 16th-century (Zaragoza); and a society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron who is Samantha’s ancestor (isocky), to name a few.

The opening of the B&B is a source of intrigue, anxiety, and curiosity among the spirits, but they’ll gladly put up with the commotion as long as they can continue to interact with a living inhabitant – Samantha.
