Emmy nominee Edgar Ramirez (The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, The Undoing) is set to star in Dr. Death season two. The first season of Peacock’s anthology series followed Joshua Jackson as Dr. Christopher Duntsch, a Texas neurosurgeon who was responsible for the maiming or killing of 33 patients. Ramirez has been tapped to play surgeon Paolo Macchiarini in the second season of the anthology series.
Peacock offered this description of the upcoming Dr. Death season and Ramirez’s character:
“This season will feature the ‘Miracle Man’ storyline based on the most recent third season of the [Wondery] podcast. Paolo Macchiarini is a charming surgeon, renowned for his innovative operations that earn him the nickname ‘Miracle Man.’ When investigative journalist Benita Alexander approaches him for a story, the line between personal and professional begins to blur, changing her life forever.
As she learns how far Paolo will go to protect his secrets, a group of doctors halfway across the world make shocking discoveries of their own that call everything about the ‘Miracle Man’ into question.”
Ashley Michel Hoban will guide season two as showrunner, writer, and executive producer. Patrick Macmanus, season one’s showrunner, will serve as an executive producer along with Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch, Taylor Latham, Aaron Hart, Hernan Lopez, Marshall Lewy, and Linda Gase. Jennifer Morrison’s on board to direct episodes one through four, and Laura Belsey will direct episodes five through eight.
Edgar Ramirez’s recent credits include The 355, Jungle Cruise, Yes Day, and The Last Days of American Crime.

The Plot:
From the executive producers of flagship series The Rookie comes The Rookie: Feds starring Niecy Nash-Betts as Simone Clark, the oldest rookie in the FBI Academy. The spinoff was introduced as a two-part event during the fourth season of The Rookie, where Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and the L.A. division of the FBI enlisted the help of Simone Clark when one of her former students was a suspect in a terror attack.

The official Yellowstone trailer and other video teasers brought advance confirmation that John Dutton (Kevin Costner) has won his election and will become the new governor of Montana in season five. John’s new position in government – plus the fact season four ended with Kayce (Luke Grimes) dropping the cryptic “the end of us” when asked what he saw in his vision quest – indicates it’s going to be rough going for the couple who represent the moral center of the Yellowstone saga – Kayce and Monica (Kelsey Asbille).
The critically acclaimed series never fails to deliver unexpected plot twists, and even the actors aren’t aware of everything that will happen to their characters as the story moves forward. Luke Grimes and Kelsey Asbille confirmed during our brief season five interview that series creator Taylor Sheridan doesn’t always let them in on his plans for the show. Grimes and Asbille also discussed what life will look like for Kayce and Monica now that John’s taken on the top spot in Montana’s government.
Paramount Network’s Yellowstone kicks off its fifth season on Sunday, November 13, 2022 with a special two-hour premiere.

Can you picture a future where Kayce and Monica will be allowed to just breathe and not be caught up in the Dutton family turbulence?
Luke Grimes: “That would be nice. Sounds great.”
Kelsey Asbille: (Laughing) “Yeah, we shouldn’t lie to you. But you know I think we’ve always rooted for them, for sure.”
They always attempt to do the right thing, even if it’s not easy. And they don’t always make the right decisions. Does that hold true for season five?
Kelsey Asbille: “Yeah. I mean, they face just incredible adversity, and this season is no different. I think it might be the most intense for them. I think they come out as different people, but I think with a new sense of purpose.”
Does John becoming governor really impact their home life and does that draw Kayce even more into the battle to save the ranch?
Luke Grimes: “You know, I think at first John becoming governor is neither here nor there to Kayce and Monica. We have so much going on and we also just kind of have been living in our own world and trying to sort of purposefully not think about what’s going on on the ranch. That’s just always sort of been our thing. It’s like back and forth. But you know John becoming governor means he’s going to have responsibilities somewhere else so it’s possible that that could mean there might be more required of us – or other people.”
Is Kayce still going to put his family first over the ranch?
Luke Grimes: “I mean, I think that’s always been his choice, right? That’s sort of like always been where he’s at and it’s always the choice he’s had to make. He tends to always choose his family. So, if he sticks with his guns that’s normally what he tends to do.”
Does season five show us more of what happened to him during the vision quest and how that’s affected him moving forward?
Luke Grimes: “Yeah, it certainly does. Yeah, I think there are a lot of like unanswered questions about that. I think a lot of people…that was like kind of jarring for a lot of the audience. Like, what is this? What’s going on? What did that mean? Who is this lady? Why is he in his underwear? And I think season five, it starts to kind of make sense of all that and the choice that he has to make and what those paths are and what ‘the end of us’ meant.”
There have been so many twists and turns over the seasons. Do they tell you in advance or do these twists take you by surprise, just like they do the audience?
Kelsey Asbille: “The latter. I think Taylor likes to surprise us.”
Luke Grimes: “Yeah, totally. He doesn’t really give us any spoilers. We get the script kind of not too much before we shoot it. That’s sort of the way it’s been since the beginning.”
In one word, how do you describe season five?
Luke Grimes: “We’ve had problems with this all day… I said tough last time. Go ahead, you got one.”
A24’s first official trailer for The Whale shows why Brendan Fraser is receiving awards attention and why there’s Oscar buzz circling his performance. Fraser, who stars as a reclusive 600 lb. gay English teacher who attempts to reconnect with his daughter, received lengthy standing ovations for his performance at multiple film festival screenings. And pundits are predicting he could swim away with a Best Actor Oscar for The Whale.
In an interview with Variety, Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) explained how he came about casting Brendan Fraser in the lead role.
“As soon as [Brendan Fraser] left my office after our first meeting, I felt it,” stated Aronofsky. “I knew he could play someone who most people would start off by dismissing, but within five minutes they’d start to feel something for him. Then, within 20 minutes, they’re starting to fall in love with the character, because there’s just something about Brendan. Pretty soon, he starts to break your heart.”
Speaking to Newsweek, Fraser, who donned a fat suit for the role, discussed his character’s weight and what he hopes audiences will take away from the story.
“I’m hopeful that we can change some hearts and minds at least in terms of how we think and feel about those who live with obesity,” said Fraser. “So often, those people are dismissed in our society or the object of scorn and derision, and it’s unfair to them. I believe that shaming people for that reason is almost the last domain of prejudice that we overlook, and I think we can do better to change that. So I hope that this film might change some hearts and minds.”
The film is based on the critically acclaimed play by Samuel D. Hunter, with Hunter adapting his work for the screen. In addition to Fraser, The Whale stars Sadie Sink, Ty Simpkins, Samantha Morton, and Hong Chau.
A24 is targeting a December theatrical release.

HBO begins production on ‘True Detective: Night Country’
Season four of HBO’s critically acclaimed, award-winning drama True Detective has begun shooting in Iceland. The upcoming season is officially titled True Detective: Night Country and stars Oscar winner Jodie Foster and Kali Reis in leading roles.
Season one premiered in January 2014 and starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams, and Taylor Kitsch took over the lead roles in season two, which debuted in 2015. It took four years before season three arrived starring Mahershala Ali, Carmen Ejogo, and Stephen Dorff in January 2019.
Given that filming is just now underway, season four’s likely 2023 premiere puts it four years out from the third season.
In addition to Jodie Foster and Kali Reis, True Detective: Night Country stars John Hawkes, Christopher Eccleston, Fiona Shaw, Finn Bennett, and Anna Lambe. Aka Niviâna, Isabella Star Lablanc, and Joel D. Montgrand also star.
Issa López directed the entire fourth season and serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, and series creator Nic Pizzolatto also executive produce. Additional executive producers include Barry Jenkins, Adele Romansky, Mark Ceryak, Mari Jo Winkler, Chris Mundy, writer Alan Page Arriaga, Steve Golin, Richard Brown, Cary Joji Fukunaga, and Princess Daazhraii Johnson.
HBO offered this description of the new season:
“When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) must confront their pasts and the dark truths lying underneath the Arctic ice.”
The plot description of Paramount+’s SEAL Team season six episode nine hints that fans should be prepared for a game-changing episode. Directed by Christopher Chulack from a script by Spencer Hudnut and Mark H. Semos, episode nine – “Damage Assessment” – will air on Sunday, November 13, 2022.

Series Description, Courtesy of Paramount+:
SEAL Team is a military drama that follows the professional and personal lives of the most elite unit of Navy SEALs as they train, plan and execute the most dangerous, high-stakes missions our country can ask of them. Jason Hayes (Boreanaz) is the respected, intense leader of the Tier One team whose home life has suffered as a result of his extensive warrior’s existence. His team includes his trusted confidant, Ray Perry (Brown, Jr.), the longest-tenured operator with whom Jason shares an ingrained shorthand; Sonny Quinn (Buckley), an exceptional, loyal soldier with a checkered past who still combats self-destructive tendencies; Clay Spenser (Thieriot), a young, multilingual second-generation SEAL with insatiable drive and dedication; and Omar Hamza (Barsoumian), a senior chief with fifteen years of experience as a SEAL, the son of Syrian immigrants with a deep understanding of the Middle East.
Vital to the team’s success is Lieutenant Lisa Davis (Trucks), a no-nonsense, take-charge officer. Deployed on clandestine missions worldwide at a moment’s notice and knowing the toll it takes on them and their families, this tight-knit SEAL team displays unwavering patriotism and fearless dedication even in the face of overwhelming odds.

ALERT – Premieres January 8, 2023
Written by John Eisendrath and starring Scott Caan (Hawaii 5-0) and Dania Ramirez (Devious Maids), Alert is a procedural drama about 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 (Scott Caan) and his ex-wife Nikki Batista’s (Dania Ramirez) series-long quest to find out the truth about their long-lost son.
SPECIAL FORCES: WORLD’S TOUGHEST TEST – Premieres January 4, 2023
The all-new series features household names who endure some of the harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual Special Forces selection process. There are no votes, and no eliminations – just survival. These celebrities, who are so used to being in the spotlight, quickly learn the meaning of “no guts, no glory” – and no glam.
The 16 celebrity recruits are Danny Amendola, Mel B, Hannah Brown, Tyler Florence, Kate Gosselin, Dwight Howard, Montell Jordan, Gus Kenworthy, Nastia Liukin, Carli Lloyd, Beverley Mitchell, Kenya Moore, Mike Piazza, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Anthony Scaramucci and Jamie Lynn Spears.
ACCUSED – Premieres January 22, 2024 Accused is a collection of 15 intense, topical and exquisitely human stories of crime and punishment. Each episode is a fast-paced provocative thriller, exploring a different crime, in a different city, with an entirely original cast. Based on the BBC’s BAFTA-winning crime anthology, each episode opens in a courtroom on the defendant, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial.
Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, the show holds a mirror up to current times with evocative and emotional stories. In the end, audiences will discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in extraordinary circumstances, and how one impulsive decision can impact the course of that life – and the lives of others – forever.
Developed by Howard Gordon and executive-produced by Gordon, Alex Gansa, and David Shore, Accused once again fearlessly takes on the hottest topics of our time. The show features cinematic auspices and production values anchored by Oscar and Emmy-winning talent, including Michael Chiklis, Abigail Breslin, Whitney Cummings, Margo Martindale, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Wendell Pierce, Rachel Bilson, Jack Davenport, Molly Parker and directors Billy Porter, Marlee Matlin, Tazbah Chavez, and Michael Chiklis.
ANIMAL CONTROL – Premieres February 16, 2023
FOX Entertainment’s first wholly-owned live-action comedy, the single-camera series will follow a group of local Animal Control workers whose lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not. McHale stars as Frank, an opinionated, eccentric Animal Control officer who may not have gone to college but is still the most well-read person in the room.
A former cop, Frank tried to expose corruption in his department, but his efforts got him fired, which may explain why he’s so cynical and curmudgeonly. He has an almost superhuman ability to understand animals. Humans…not so much. Frank is assigned a new partner, Fred “Shred” Taylor (Michael Rowland), an optimistic rookie Animal Control officer. They both report into their sweet-natured and endearingly awkward boss Emily Price (Vella Lovell).
Amit Patel (Ravi Patel) and Victoria Sands (Grace Palmer) are also partners in the Animal Control office – though they could not be more opposite. Rounding out the precinct is veterinarian Dr. Summers (Alvina August), receptionist Dolores Stubb (Kelli Ogmundson) and Templeton Dudge (Gerry Dee), an Animal Control officer from a neighboring precinct with a real chip on his shoulder.

With nowhere else to turn, she enlists the help of FBI Agent GARRETT MILLER (Hudson) to track him down before they leave the country. Meanwhile, an incident involving CHRIS (Lew) forces FIONA (Millan) to shield her son by any means necessary, furthering the theme of how far a mother will go to protect her child.
This season introduces ROBERT KAMDAR (Andrews), NADIA’s (De Dominici) gregarious and charming ex-lover, who is intent on driving a wedge between ARMAN (Canto) and Nadia. Standing to lose everything, Arman must fight to keep his world — and his dignity — intact, while rebuilding his life under the worst of circumstances.
The Cleaning Lady continues to examine the plight of undocumented immigrants and their difficulties accessing necessary healthcare and resources. Galvanized by the many roadblocks she faced while searching for a treatment to save her son, Thony will utilize her expertise as a doctor to find ways to help her underserved community. However, as Thony continues to entwine her business undertakings with Arman, she is dragged further across the moral line and into the dark underbelly of Las Vegas.
