Tom Swift Series — Tian Richards and Ashleigh Murray in The CW’s ‘Tom Swift’

The CW’s Nancy Drew spinoff Tom Swift will premiere on Tuesday, May 31, 2022 at 9pm ET/PT. Tian Richards takes on the lead role in the spinoff after making his debut as Tom Swift in season two of Nancy Drew.

In addition to Tian Richards, the season two cast includes Ashleigh Murray, Marquise Vilsón, April Parker Jones, and Albert Mwangi. LeVar Burton lends his voice to Tom’s AI, Barclay.

The new drama’s inspired by the Tom Swift book series and was co-created by Melinda Hsu Taylor, Noga Landau, and Cameron Johnson. Taylor, Landau, Johnson, Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, and Lis Rowinski executive produce.

The CW released the following description of season one:

“As an exceptionally brilliant inventor with unlimited resources and unimaginable wealth, the devilishly charming Tom Swift (Richards) is a man who many men would kill to be, or be with – a man with the world in the palm of his hand. But that world gets shaken to its core after the shocking disappearance of his father, thrusting Tom into a breathtaking adventure full of mysterious conspiracies and unexplained phenomena. On his whirlwind quest to unravel the truth, Tom finds himself fighting to stay one step ahead of an Illuminati-scale cabal hellbent on stopping him.

Tackling this treacherous pursuit armed with his vast intellect, his roguish wit, and an endless supply of designer sneakers, he will also rely on his closest companions: his best friend Zenzi (Murray), whose unabashed and unvarnished candor keeps Tom grounded while she forges a path for herself as a business visionary; his bodyguard Isaac (Vilsón), whose fierce commitment to his chosen family is complicated by his own simmering feelings for Tom; and his AI, Barclay, whose insights and tough love have been a constant throughout Tom’s life.

At home, Tom’s relationship with his mother Lorraine (Parker Jones) becomes conflicted as she urges him to take his father’s place in elite Black society. But unbeknownst to Tom, his mother’s request is driven by deep secrets of her own. What’s more, the mysterious and dangerous Rowan (Mwangi) intersects Tom’s path with hidden motivations and undeniable mutual chemistry. While Tom navigates these emotionally charged dynamics, his missions will require his genius and his flair for innovation guided by romance, friendship, and the mysteries of the universe yet unsolved.”

Raines puts himself in danger in order to find his missing sister on CBS’s FBI: International season one episode 15, “Shouldn’t Have Left Her.” Directed by Michael Katleman from a script by Derek Haas, episode 15 is set to air on Tuesday, March 29, 2022 at 9pm ET/PT.

The season one cast includes Luke Kleintank as Special Agent Scott Forrester, Heida Reed as Special Agent Jamie Kellett, Carter Redwood as Special Agent Andre Raines, Vinessa Vidotto as Special Agent Cameron Vo, and Christiane Paul as Europol Agent Katrin Jaeger.

“Shouldn’t Have Left Her” Plot: When Raines’ sister goes missing in Kosovo, he goes rogue to find her, putting his job and his life on the line. Also, Kellett and Forrester face further scrutiny from inside the Bureau.

Season One Description, Courtesy of CBS:

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 the world 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 and is rarely seen without the team’s “secret weapon” – their trusty Schutzhund dog, Tank. Second in command is Special Agent Jamie Kellett, not afraid to tussle – in an alley or courtroom – 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; and the group’s newest member is Special Agent Cameron Vo, a competitive West Point grad who excels at interrogation and strategy.

A key part of the mix is the unflappable Europol Agent Katrin Jaeger, a multilinguistic liaison between the FBI Fly Team and each host country they inhabit. Always at the scene where American interests are at risk, FBI: International is a globe-trotting depiction of law enforcement overseas.

As they record a podcast of their own to document the case, the three unravel the complex secrets of the building which stretch back years. Perhaps even more explosive are the lies they tell one another. Soon, the endangered trio comes to realize a killer might be living amongst them as they race to decipher the mounting clues before it’s too late.

Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain) and Emmy Award winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Watchmen) play brothers who rob a bank and wind up stealing an ambulance – hence the film’s title – in Michael Bay’s latest action-crazy movie. The new trailer is basically two minutes of adrenaline-pumping action interrupted by Gyllenhaal and Abdul-Mateen II singing Christopher Cross’ “Sailing.” (I kid you not.)

Ambulance is based on the 2005 Danish thriller Ambulancen by Laurits Munch-Petersen and Lars Andreas Pedersen. Chris Fedak (Prodigal Son) wrote the screenplay and Michael Bay directs. Bay also serves as a producer along with New Republic’s Bradley J. Fischer, Ian Bryce, and Project X’s James Vanderbilt and William Sherak.

Universal Pictures will release Ambulance in theaters on April 8, 2022.

The Plot:

Over one day across the streets of L.A., three lives will change forever.

In this breakneck thriller from director-producer Michael Bay, decorated veteran Will Sharp (Abdul-Mateen II), desperate for money to cover his wife’s medical bills, asks for help from the one person he knows he shouldn’t—his adoptive brother Danny (Gyllenhaal). A charismatic career criminal, Danny instead offers him a score: the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history: $32 million. With his wife’s survival on the line, Will can’t say no.

But when their getaway goes spectacularly wrong, the desperate brothers hijack an ambulance with a wounded cop clinging to life and ace EMT Cam Thompson (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw) onboard. In a high-speed pursuit that never stops, Will and Danny must evade a massive, city-wide law enforcement response, keep their hostages alive, and somehow try not to kill each other, all while executing the most insane escape L.A. has ever seen.
