The Grammy winning duo of Method Man and Mary J. Blige are reuniting for Starz’s Power spinoff.
Having scored the award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group back in 1996 with the iconic Mary J, the Wu-Tang Clan founding member is now joining the Mudbound actress in the cast of Power Book II.
Wire alum Method Man will portray ambitious and savvy attorney Davis Maclean in the Courtney Kemp created series. Conceived as part of the big overall deal Kemp inked with Lionsgate in late 2018, the character is attracted to the NYC underworld run by Oscar nominee Blige’s character, but may find himself entrapped by some secrets from his past.

The new Fox sitcom Method & Red is on the ropes. The series from Regency TV/20th Century Fox TV, which debuted in early June, is taking a scheduled hiatus and is expected to return to Fox's primetime lineup on Sept. 8 to complete its initial 13-episode run. The network had offered to order an additional three episodes of the show, but producers rejected that in favor of waiting to see whether the series has any ratings traction when it returns next month. Sources said there has also been turmoil behind the scenes with stars Method Man and Redman. Method Man has publicly stated his displeasure with the creative direction of the series about two successful rappers who move into an affluent gated community in New Jersey.

The Simple Life 2: Road Trip kept Fox on top of the adults 18-49 standings on what was a ho-hum Wednesday in primetime overall for the Big Four networks. Fox's 9 p.m. reality tentpole brought in 9.5 million viewers and 4.6 rating/14 share in the adults 18-49 demo. That was enough to give Fox the nightly win in the demo (3.2/10) by a comfortable margin. But once again Simple Life's 9:30 p.m. companion Method & Red did a poor job of holding onto its lead-in, plunging to 5.7 million viewers and 2.6/8 in 18-49. Fox's other new comedy, 8:30 p.m.'s Quintuplets (5.9 million, 2.8/9), by contrast, held steady with its lead-in, the 8 p.m. That '70s Show repeat (6 million, 2.8/10).
The case of Fox's new series The Jury moved closer to a dismissal Thursday when the network scaled down the struggling legal drama's airings and the producing studio, 20th Century Fox TV, released the cast and notified the producers that no more original episodes will be produced at this time. On Fox's summer schedule, original episodes of The Jury ran in the Tuesday 9 p.m. slot, with encores airing at 9 p.m. Fridays. Beginning next week, the series will air only in the Friday slot, with all five remaining original episodes slated to run. In the next three weeks, Fox will air reruns of The Bernie Mac Show and Method & Red, the Major League Baseball All-Star Game and repeats of That '70s Show and Quintuplets in the Tuesday 9 p.m. period. While the return of The Jury to Fox's November schedule is highly unlikely, a spokesman for the network stressed that Fox's late-fall launch provides a long enough hiatus to allow for the show to resume production should it show ratings improvements in the next few weeks.
Fox was sitting pretty on Wednesday with The Simple Life 2: Road Trip, which led the network to the nightly win in the adults 18-49 demographic against mostly rerun competition. Simple Life 2 brought in an average of 9.2 million viewers and 4.4 rating/14 share in the adults 18-49 demographic at 9 p.m., according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research. Simple Life delivered by far the highest demo score of any program of the night but NBC's regular 10 p.m. repeat of Law & Order (10.7 million, 3.4/10) was the most-watched program overall. Fox also got a little good news at 8:30 p.m. when new sitcom Quintuplets (5.9 million, 2.8/10) inched up from its That '70s Show repeat (5.3 million, 2.5/9) lead-in at 8 p.m. But the news was not so good at 9:30 p.m. as Fox's other new summer sitcom, Method & Red (5.9 million, 2.7/8), took a big dive from its Simple Life 2 lead-in.
Fox won a second consecutive Wednesday in adults 18-49 on the strength of the reality comedy The Simple Life 2: Road Trip, but this time it barely edged out NBC, which was the most watched network for the night. Without the benefit of a Simple Life lead-in this week, the new comedy Quintuplets (5.5 million, 2.7/9) at 8:30 p.m. was down 23% in 18-49 from its premiere but held on to 93% of its demo lead-in from a That '70s Show rerun (5.4 million, 2.9/10). At 9 p.m., Simple Life (9.1 million, 4.7/14) was once again the top program for the night in 18-49, while the second episode of Method & Red (6.2 million, 3.0/9) retained a so-so 64% of the Simple Life 18-49 average. For the night, Fox averaged 6.6 million viewers and a 3.3/11 in 18-49, according to preliminary Nielsen data. NBC, which aired the T.H.E.M. magic special and reruns for Law & Order, logged 10 million viewers and a 3.2/10. CBS (7 million, 2.0/6) and ABC (4.9 million, 2.0/6) finished tied in 18-49.

CBS sang all the way to the top of the ratings Tuesday with the three-hour special AFI's 100 Years 100 Songs. The network averaged 12.3 million viewers and a 3.0 rating/9 share for the night, according to preliminary ratings data from Nielsen Media Research. With the preliminary rounds of NBC's Last Comic Standing 2 over, the reality show (8.4 million, 3.9/11) took a dip but still ranked as the top program of the night among adults 18-49 and led NBC (7.5 million, 3.0/9) to a tie with CBS for the nightly honors in 18-49. Fox saw an encouraging 100% demo lead retention for a rerun of its new comedy Method & Red (4.5 million, 2.1/7), which aired at 8:30 p.m., behind an original episode of The Bernie Mac Show (4.6 million, 2.1/7). At 9 p.m., Fox's new drama The Jury (4.3 million, 1.6/5) ran neck-and-neck in the demo with the WB Network's summer series Summerland (3.8 million, 1.5/4). At 10 p.m., ABC's new reality series NYPD 24/7 (7.0 million, 2.7/7) got off to an OK start, but finished third in the hour behind CBS' AFI special and a rerun of NBC's Law & Order (9.0 million, 3.1/8). For the night, ABC (5.8 million, 2.3/7) was third, followed by Fox (4.4 million, 1.9/6).

Fox did solid summertime business Wednesday with the return of The Simple Life and debut of the comedies Quintuplets and Method & Red. Fox won the night in adults 18-49 (4.1 rating/13 share) on the strength of the 9 p.m. debut of The Simple Life 2: Road Trip (9.8 million viewers, 4.9/15 in 18-49), according to Nielsen Media Research. A Simple Life 2 preview (8.3 million, 4.0/15) at 8 p.m. also dominated its time slot in adults 18-49, which gave a good start to Quintuplets (7.1 million, 3.5/12) at 8:30 p.m. At 9:30 p.m., Method & Red (8.3 million, 3.9/11) benefited from its Simple lead-in and managed to improve slightly in Simple's score in the teen demo (Simple's 4.7/19 to Method's 5.1/19).
