Michael Malarkey in ‘Big Sky’ season 2 episode 5 (ABC/Michael Moriatis)
ABC’s Big Sky season two episode five picks up right where episode four left off, with Madison now inside Deputy Harvey’s cabin and Bridger still tied up and being held hostage by the dirty cop. Madison (Lola Skye Reid) swears she’ll lead Harvey to the bags in the woods if he promises he’ll let her brother go.
Harper (Troy Leigh-Anne Johnson) follows her friend and Harvey (Michael Malarkey) into the woods while Max (Madelyn Kientz) seizes the opportunity to rescue Bridger (Jeremy Ray Taylor). Ren knocks at the door just as Max frees Bridger. They escape into a closet and watch as Ren (Janina Gavankar) creeps around inside the house, gun drawn. The siblings quickly realize she’s also after the drugs and money they took from the crime scene.
Just down the road, Jenny (Katheryn Winnick) and Cassie (Kylie Bunbury) are still pinned down and under fire. Donno (Ryan O’Nan) promised Ren he wouldn’t let anyone near Harvey’s place, and he’s determined to keep his word. Jenny calls in backup as the bullets fly.
Ren rings up Donno and wants him to join her at the house. When he stops shooting, Jenny and Cassie cautiously approach his location. He’s gone but the area’s littered with bullet casings.
Donno and Ren walk through the woods looking for Harvey. His phone was in the house and his cruiser’s parked out front, so Ren knows he has to be close by.
Meanwhile, Madison’s scream alerts Max and Bridger that she’s in trouble and they run into the woods.
Harper watches from behind a nearby tree as Madison breaks free by kneeing Harvey in the groin. (Nice move, Madison!). Madison runs off and Harvey fires in her direction. Ren and Donno hear the gunshot and try and follow the sound to its source.
Harvey catches up with Madison and is about to shoot her when Harper races up with one of the bags. When Harvey’s attention is on Harper, Madison uses a tree branch she grabbed and hits him in the head. He’s knocked to the ground but not knocked out.
Max and Bridger join Madison and Harper and are about to flee when Harvey gets up and fires a warning shot. It looks like the foursome is about to find out what happens when you mess with a crooked cop when the man who’s been spying on them from the van leaps on top of Harvey. They battle over Harvey’s gun and the deputy is able to grab his knife and stab the heroic stranger.
The gun goes off again and Harvey’s killed. The stranger yells at the kids to run and they don’t need to be told twice.
Sheriff Tubb (Patrick Gallagher) arrives with additional officers to backup Jenny but it’s too late for Deputy Harvey.
Ren decides this isn’t a bad outcome as they were going to have to kill Harvey anyway. It’s fine someone else beat them to the punch.
Back at the station, Jenny’s determined to continue the investigation. She’s certain there were other unknown people involved with Harvey’s murder, but Sheriff Tubb warns her to drop it or she’ll be suspended. Harvey’s nefarious activities occurred under his watch so he can’t investigate his murder. However, Jenny’s looking at the bigger picture and still believes Harvey’s involvement with the cartel means Tonya and others remain in danger.
Sheriff Tubb instructs Jenny to stand down and let the State investigators handle it. She’s pissed and slams the door on the way out of his office.
Over at the detective agency, Cassie confesses she has lingering questions about Tonya’s story. She’s apparently staying with a friend and Cassie tells Jerrie (Jesse James Keitel) to keep trying to reach her. A man enters the agency and the mood swiftly changes as it’s revealed he’s Jerrie’s father.
Jerrie’s dad is there to let her know her mom’s dying of cancer and wants to see her. Jerrie’s estranged from her parents who never supported her and she refuses to absolve her parents of their guilt. He begs her to take a little time off and visit her mom before it’s too late.
Jerrie turns to Mark Lindor (Omar Metwally) for advice and he believes if she doesn’t go, she’ll always regret not having that final conversation. She needs closure.
Tonya pays a visit to Ren and Donno, neither of whom are happy to see her. She was supposed to have left town but doesn’t want to, and Ren reminds her Donno will kill her family if she doesn’t disappear as agreed.
Tonya proposes a new deal…she’ll work for Ren in place of Sam and Deputy Harvey. After all, the locals don’t trust outsiders but they do trust her.

The fearless foursome debate their next move, and Max is sure they can’t go to the cops. Harvey was obviously crooked and he’s probably not the only bad cop in town. Harper wonders why the stranger was trying to protect them, but none of the others care about him. Harper’s sure he was trying to save them from Harvey and isn’t a bad guy.
Bridger’s adamant they get rid of the drugs and cash, and Max finally agrees. She suggests they figure out how to get them to that woman from Harvey’s house (Ren), but they have no idea who she is. As they’re talking Madison receives a call from Harvey’s phone. Bridger grabs Madison’s phone and smashes it. He’s worried the woman will track them and promises to buy his sister a new phone.
Harper believes the only way they’ll make it out of this alive is to stick together.
Jenny shows up at Travis’ hotel room, pissed he’s not returning her calls. He doesn’t seem happy to see her and claims he’s been busy. She demands to know if Harvey was working for the cartel and Travis won’t say. He explains he’s been warned to “tighten things up” and isn’t able to help with her investigation anymore.
Travis gets Jenny to admit she only calls him when she needs something. He confesses he cares for her and then kicks her out, warning her to back off.
That evening Jenny and Cassie go through all the evidence, and Jenny reveals Travis has iced her out. She also reveals she actually likes him but hasn’t told him. Jenny’s worried she screwed it up and Cassie suggests ice cream is always the best option to get over hard times. Jenny thinks alcohol would do the trick better than ice cream.
Drinks are consumed as they join Denise and Jerrie at the bar to say goodbye to Jerrie before she sets off on her road trip to visit her parents.
And speaking of getting ready for the road trip… Mark helps Jerrie load up her car and gives her a mixtape he’s made for the trip. She wonders if they ever could have gotten together, and he pulls her in for a kiss as his reply.
Max is having a difficult time dealing with what’s going on and has a heart-to-heart with her mom. After her mom promises to keep what Max says a secret, Max confesses she did something bad at the scene of the big car crash.
Ren calls her brother and fills him in on what’s going on. He’s not happy about how she’s handling it and Ren warns him to stay out of her business.
Jenny and Cassie are still drinking at the bar when Dietrich walks in. He meets with a man and exits, and Jenny wants to follow them. Cassie’s reluctant but Jenny talks her into it, believing this will lead to whoever hired Harvey to work with the cartel.
Dietrich takes the man to a van in the bar’s parking and shows off the weapons inside. Cassie and Jenny are watching from a short distance away and don’t notice another man, Smiley, sneaking up on them. Jenny manages to fight Smiley off but now she and Cassie have attracted Deitrich’s attention.
Smiley tells Dietrich they were spying on him and delivers a blow to Jenny in retaliation. Cassie disarms him while he’s concentrating on Jenny but only briefly has the upper hand as Travis pops up behind them, gun aimed at Cassie. He informs Dietrich that these women were following him because they’re cops.
The Ronald vs Wolf Storyline:
Wolf (John Carroll Lynch) drugs Ronald (Brian Geraghty) to get him to open up and reveal his true self. When Wolf mentions Ronald’s mother, Ronald fights through the drug and demands they talk about something else. Wolf refuses to change the topic and Ronald is forced to admit his mother made him feel filthy and sick. Ronald has visions of her inappropriate behavior and of snapping her neck. He admits she had worse urges than his and he always kept them a secret for her.
Wolf urges him to reveal her secret and Ronald claims she killed his father. He wanted to leave but she wouldn’t let him. Ronald saw what she did and never told anyone.
Ronald’s overcome with emotion and Wolf comforts him.
Later that evening Ronald’s allowed to visit Scarlet alone in her room. She’s happy he’s making progress with his therapy and reminds him she’s following the rules because she was promised she’d be reunited with her daughter if she behaves.
Ronald says he’s been doing his part because he loves her. Scarlet, however, seems to have bought into Wolf’s therapy and thinks it might be the only way for them to have a future together that doesn’t involve being chased by the police.
A short while later Scarlet informs Wolf and his wife that Ron still wants to escape. She believes he’s scared of the process.
Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan in Paramount+’s ‘Fatal Attraction’
Master of Sex‘s Lizzy Caplan is set to take on the lead role in Paramount+’s Fatal Attraction series. The streaming service has just given the adaptation of the Oscar-nominated 1987 film a series order with Dirty John‘s Alexandra Cunningham as writer, executive producer, and showrunner.
Kevin J. Hynes executive produces with Amblin Television’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey. Hynes also shares a co-story credit with Cunningham.
“Alexandra brings an incredibly strong and nuanced point of view to a story that became a cultural phenomenon but has thus far only been told from the male gaze,” stated Nicole Clemens, President, Paramount+ Original Scripted Series. “Partnered with Kevin, they will bring the next explosive chapter of this story to a new generation, with a balanced eye to the complexities of the human psyche.”
Paramount+ describes the series as “a deep-dive reimagining of the classic psychosexual thriller and ‘80s cultural touchstone.” The series adaptation will “explore fatal attraction and the timeless themes of marriage and infidelity through the lens of modern attitudes towards strong women, personality disorders, and coercive control.”
Caplan will take on the role of Alex, played in the critically acclaimed feature film by Glenn Close. Close was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance and the movie also picked up Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress (Anne Archer), Best Director (Adrian Lyne), Best Adapted Screenplay (James Dearden), and Best Editing (Michael Kahn, Peter E. Berger) nominations.
Caplan’s additional credits include Castle Rock, Inside Job, Truth Be Told, and Party Down.

The season four cast also includes Alana De La Garza as Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille, John Boyd as Special Agent Stuart Scola, and Katherine Renee Turner as Special Agent Tiffany Wallace.
Recurring cast members include Adrienne Rose Bengtsson as Erin Bell, Taylor Anthony Miller as Kelly Moran, Vedette Lim as Elise Taylor, and Roshawn Franklin as Agent Hobbs.

Netflix just released the official trailer and poster for Mixtape, an upbeat, quirky coming of age comedy about a teen who tries to connect with her late parents via a mixtape. Modern Family‘s Julie Bowen stars as the teen’s grandmother who’s dealing with the death of her daughter in her own way.
In addition to Julie Bowen, the cast includes Gemma Brooke Allen, Audrey Hsieh, Olga Petsa, Jackson Rathbone, and Nick Thune. Valerie Weiss directs from a screenplay by Stacey Menear, with Gil Netter and Jim Wedaa producing.
Netflix has set a December 3, 2021 release.
Netflix released the following description of Mixtape:
On the eve of Y2k, orphaned, awkward 12-year-old Beverly Moody (Allen) discovers a broken mixtape crafted by her teen parents who died in a car accident when she was a baby. Raised by her grandmother Gail (Bowen), a former teen mom herself who finds it painful to speak about her late daughter, Beverly sees this mixtape as a chance to finally learn more about her parents. So she sets out on a journey to find all the songs on the tape.
Along the way, she makes friends with her quirky neighbor, Ellen (Audrey Hsieh); intimidatingly tough, Nicky (Petsa); and Anti (Thune), an anti-everything record store owner who’s the key to finding these tracks, and a renewed bond between Gail and Beverly.
Two-time Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner reunites with Wind River writer/director Taylor Sheridan for the gritty TV drama Mayor of Kingstown, premiering Sunday, November 14, 2021 on Paramount+. Renner stars as ex-con Mike McLusky who, along with his brother Mitch (Kyle Chandler), runs the town and keeps opposing forces from destroying the community.
20,000 prisoners are housed within the town’s seven prisons, and Mike describes his job as keeping the rats in the cages content and their keepers from becoming rats. A voiceover in the opening minutes of season one episode one reveals Mike’s the unofficial mayor of Kingstown, Michigan and the prisoners’ link to a world that shuns them. While society does its best to forget their existence, Mike and Mitch treat the incarcerated like human beings.
Renner, in his first lead role in a television series, does an outstanding job of playing Mike as conflicted about not only his place in the town’s hierarchy but also just his continued presence in Kingstown. It’s not a community he necessarily likes or a position of power he embraces, but it’s one he’s incredibly good at.
As a former convict he’s capable of straddling both sides of the law, and Mike likes to describe what he does as not breaking the law but bending it to keep the peace. Strange as it seems, given how he spends his days and who he associates with, Mike adheres to a strict moral code and is guided by doing what’s right/fair.
Running Kingstown is apparently in the McLuskys’ blood, however the family matriarch, Mariam (Dianne Wiest), wants no part of Mike and Mitch’s wheeling and dealing. Mariam’s employed as a teacher at one of the prisons and the only McLusky child she respects is her son, Kyle (Taylor Handley).
Kyle’s a cop who, like most of his fellow members of the Kingstown law enforcement community, operates outside the law when it comes to working with Mike and Mitch. Kyle doesn’t just turn a blind eye to his siblings’ activities, he’s also occasionally dragged into whatever shady deal they’ve cooked up with prisoners, guards, or other assorted Kingstown townsfolk.
All three siblings dwell in a grey area but only Kyle attempts to keep his nefarious activities out of the public eye. Mike and Mitch openly rule Kingstown and everyone within the community knows it and turns to the men to settle disputes.
The series’ first episode introduces the key players, sets up the family dynamics, and establishes the world in which Mike operates. He’s intelligent, a good communicator, empathetic, and fierce. (Plus, he has a weird obsession with bears.) Even with his criminal background, Mike could have a decent future far from Kingstown and far from the world of prisoners, drug dealers, and crooked cops. Mike isn’t meant for this world and why he’s chosen to remain in a town he detests will be explored over the course of season one.
Based on the first two episodes Paramount+ made available for review, Taylor Sheridan’s new drama will not be pulling any punches and won’t shy away from tackling important issues. (It does so without preaching or becoming too heavy-handed.) Mayor of Kingstown’s edgy, brutal, and delivers a few shocking twists right out of the gate. It’s also beautifully shot and loaded with multi-layered, interesting characters brought to life by an outstanding ensemble.
CBS’s winter 2022 primetime lineup will include the series debut of Good Sam starring Sophia Bush and Jason Isaacs as well as The Amazing Race season 33, Survivor season 42, and season three of Celebrity Big Brother. The network also announced S.W.A.T. will be moving to a Sundays at 10pm ET/PT time slot on January 2, 2022.
“CBS is having an exceptional fall, with the top new comedy and the top two new dramas.

GOOD SAM DETAILS:
Good Sam is about Dr. Sam Griffith (Bush), a gifted heart surgeon who excels in her new leadership role as chief of surgery after her renowned boss, Dr. Rob “Griff” Griffith (Isaacs), falls into a coma. When Dr. Griffith wakes up months later, demanding to resume his duties, Sam is tasked with supervising this egotistical expert with a scalpel who never acknowledged her stellar talent. Complicating matters, this caustic and arrogant boss also happens to be her father. As Griff defies Sam’s authority and challenges her medical expertise, the big question becomes whether this father and daughter will ever be able to mend their own relationship as expertly as they heal the hearts of their patients.
Fox’s The Resident season five episode seven will find Conrad still working on his own but with Kit and Bell eager for him to rejoin the hospital’s staff. Episode seven – “Who Will You Be?” – will air on Tuesday, November 16, 2021 at 8pm ET/PT.
Season five stars Matt Czuchry as Dr. Conrad Hawkins, Malcolm-Jamal Warner as Dr. AJ Austin, Bruce Greenwood as Dr. Randolph Bell, Jane Leeves as Dr. Kit Voss, and Manish Dayal is Dr. Devon Pravesh. Jessica Lucas plays Dr. Billie Sutton, Anuja Joshi is Dr. Leela Devi, and Miles Fowler is Trevor.
“Who Will You Be?” Plot: A new group of interns, which includes Billie’s son, Trevor, start their first day with Devon at Chastain. Kit and Bell try to convince Conrad to come back to Chastain and The Raptor’s mom ends up back in the ER.
Meanwhile, Leela and Padma deal with an unexpected visit from their parents.
Entering its fifth season, The Resident continues to shine a light on the daily heroism of our health care workers. The provocative medical drama follows the doctors and nurses at Chastain Memorial Hospital as they face personal and professional challenges and fight for their patients’ health.
Season four saw a multitude of highs and lows as the heroes at Chastain struggled to overcome the impossible, including the unprecedented and devastating Covid-19 pandemic. Now, in a propulsive and emotional season five, the ante is upped, as the doctors continue to save patients and fight corruption in the healthcare system, this time with a partner. The alliance with Big Pharma that found a cure for sickle cell disease last season proves in season five to be a very sharp double-edged sword.
The season kicks off when a mysterious ransomware attack threatens the hospital, and DR. DEVON PRAVESH (Dayal) and Chastain’s recently appointed CEO, DR. KIT VOSS (Leeves), must make high-stakes, split-second decisions with lives in the balance. Meanwhile, DR. CONRAD HAWKINS (Czuchry) and NURSE PRACTITIONER NICOLETTE NEVIN’s (Emily VanCamp) attempts to navigate parenthood, marriage and work-life balance take a shocking turn when Conrad is forced to make a life-changing choice that will alter the course of their family forever.
After the unwanted arrival of DR. BILLIE SUTTON’s (Lucas) biological son, she is forced to confront her past head-on in hopes of healing. Luckily, she’ll have help with the emergence of a new friendship – and rivalry – with DR. AJ AUSTIN (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), who unknowingly takes an interest in Billie’s son, TREVOR (Fowler). Elsewhere, a wrench is thrown in the plans of DR. LEELA DEVI (Joshi), when an unannounced visitor threatens her new relationship, and DR. RANDOLPH BELL (Greenwood) moves forward with a surprising love interest.
A new wrinkle five episodes into the season will challenge audience expectations and reveal new truths about our characters. Old relationships will be tested, new ones formed, and the emergence of a widespread Medicare fraud scheme ensures Chastain will never be the same.
Friends gather to celebrate Christmas – and the end of the world – in the trailer for the dark holiday comedy Silent Night. What starts off looking like a normal annual celebration quickly devolves as the night of Christmas Eve partying goes on.
AMC+ and RLJE Films will debut the twisted comedy/drama in theaters and on the streaming service on Friday, December 3, 2021.
The ensemble cast includes Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Roman Griffin Davis, Annabelle Wallis, Lily-Rose Depp, Ṣọpé Dìrísù, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Lucy Punch, Rufus Jones, and Trudie Styler. Writer Camille Griffin makes her directorial debut and Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman franchise), Trudie Styler (Moon), and Celine Rattray (The Kids Are Alright) produce.
The Plot, Courtesy of AMC+:
Silent Night follows parents Nell (Knightley) and Simon (Goode) who have invited their closest friends to join their family for Christmas dinner at their idyllic home in the English countryside. As the group comes together, it feels like old times – but behind all of the laughter and merriment, something is not quite right. The world outside is facing impending doom, and no amount of gifts, games or Prosecco can make mankind’s imminent destruction go away.
Surviving the holidays just got a lot more complicated.
Netflix claims the title for best trailer for a 2021 holiday comedy with the release of the Single All The Way official trailer. Yes it’s still early in the season, but Netflix sets the bar high with this feel-good trailer for the Christmas-themed romantic comedy.
Wonder Woman‘s Lynda Carter shared her joy over the trailer’s release, tweeting: “I am 100% in the holiday spirit after seeing this trailer! Bring me all the gay holiday rom coms, please and THANK YOU.” She added in a follow-up tweet: “especially love this one because the conflict isn’t about a homophobic family. The family is supportive, just as they should be!”
And Twitter can’t get over Jennifer Coolidge speaking the truth in the new trailer. “The gays just know how to do stuff. And for some reason they’re always obsessed with me,” says Coolidge.
Single All The Way stars Michael Urie, Philemon Chambers, Luke Macfarlane, Barry Bostwick, Jennifer Robertson, and Kathy Najimy. Executive producer Michael Mayer directs from a screenplay by executive producer Chad Hodge.
Netflix is targeting a December 2, 2021 release.
The Plot, Courtesy of Netflix:
Desperate to avoid his family’s judgment about his perpetual single status, Peter (Urie) convinces his best friend Nick (Chambers) to join him for the holidays and pretend that they’re now in a relationship. But when Peter’s mother (Najimy) sets him up on a blind date with her handsome trainer James (Macfarlane)— the plan goes awry.
