Marvel's Runaways Review: Powered by Friendship, Teens Battle Empowered Parents in Super Hulu Series
The Breakfast Club meets X-Men with a splash of Stranger Things thrown in, Marvel’s Runaways is the richest, best-realized Marvel drama of the new TV season.
Premiering Tuesday, Nov. 21 (with the first three of 10 episodes) and based on the comic books by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, Runaways follows a pack of once-inseparable teens — Alex Wilder, Nico Minoru, Karolina Dean, Chase Stein, Gert Yorkes and her sister Molly Hernandez — one year after the death of Nico’s sister Amy. In the immediate wake of that loss (and in part fueled by mysterious funeral-day happenings), the “BFFs” abandoned that...

With the cameras currently rolling, the cast for David Green’s (Earth to Echo) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is slowly but surely coming together, with word from Deadline that Brittany Ishibashi (Emily Owens M.D., Political Animals) will be taking on the role of Karai, loyal member of the Foot Clan, and depending on what version of the story you’ve seen, is either the Shredder’s (played this time round by Brian Tee) successor or related to him in some way. Karai was actually seen briefly in the the original movie, played by Minae Noji, but a bulked up role the second time round may have called for a recasting. Ishibashi joins the original cast, including Will Arnett and Megan Fox, swell as other newcomers, including Stephen Amell as vigilante Casey Jones, Tyler Perry as Baxter Stockman, and Gary Anthony Williams as the warthog part of fan favourite duo Bebop and Rocksteady.

The young stars of ABC's fall hit How to Get Away with Murder have a job many would kill for, but star Jack Falahee tells Et that it's not always all that it's cracked up to be.
See, Falahee's character Conor Walsh has had the most sex scenes in the show thus far, and for a show that's made headlines for its salacious content, that's saying a lot.
News: Inside TV's Sexiest Show
"It's awkward," Falahee, 25, tells Et's Kevin Frazier. "It's 50 or 60 people in the crew watching you, so any time on any project that I've had to do a sex scene it's like, 'Wow, this is the worst.'"
Falahee is one part of a hot young cast that also includes 25-year-old Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter), 28-year-old Matt McGorry (Orange is the New Black), 29-year-old Aja Naomi King (Emily Owens M.D.) and 28-year-old Karla Souza (Instructions Not Included).

(Cbr) Actor J.R. Ramirez will play Ted Grant on "Arrow" season three. Although Comic-Con International 2014 officially wrapped over the weekend, the announcements are far from over. Deadline reports that actor J.R. Ramirez has been cast as Ted Grant -- better known as the boxing hero Wildcat -- in the upcoming third season of "Arrow." Executive producer Marc Guggenheim stated during the show's Comic-Con panel over the weekend that Wildcat would make an appearance in season three, but no casting information was divulged. According to Deadline, the "Arrow" version of the character is "a former boxer who now runs a gym for underprivileged youth" and will have a major role to play in Laurel Lance's arc over the course of the season. The DC Comics version of the character has traditionally been a member of the Justice Society of America and trainer for many of the Dcu's heroes, including Black Canary.

Think Ugly Betty meets Gilmore Girls.
In a network that is jam-packed with vampires, witches, dark creatures, and brave superheroes, this fall The CW is gifting fans with an outrageous new twist: An endearing and funny new series with absolutely no supernatural elements. Gasp!
Jane the Virgin, which will join the CW's Monday night line-up on Oct. 13, is an adaptation of a hit Venezuelan telenovela starring Gina Rodriguez as Jane, a virgin who is accidentally artificially inseminated duing a routine gyno appointment. It's pretty much every twenty-something girl's wildest nightmare that we never realized could happen.
However, don’t let this wacky (and admittedly terrifying!) premise stop you from tuning in and missing out on all the small screen fun. At its heart, Jane the Virgin is a ridiculously charming show brought to you by co-creators Ben Silverman (Ugly Betty) and Jennie Snyder Urman (Emily Owens M.D.).

"The Flash" has found its mother. Michelle Harrison will play Nora, the mother of Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) in the "Arrow" spinoff, Deadline reports.
Harrison's role will most likely be seen only in flashback, as she has long since died by the time "Flash" begins. Supposedly murdered by her own husband, Nora was instead the victim of an unidentified killer with seemingly super-human abilities. One of Barry's later motivations in law enforcement and crime-fighting is finding the truth behind his mother's death.
With the Nora role listed as potentially recurring, it seems likely that there is more to the murder story than a simple case of wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time.
Introduced in two episodes of "Arrow" in December, "The Flash" has since become a high-profile pilot project for The CW. It will likely air in the fall of 2014 if picked up to series.

In Jane the Virgin, “a series of surprising and unforeseen events causes a hard-working, religious young Latina woman to be accidentally artificially inseminated.”

Historical dramas have become all the rage in the last few years, so when I heard the CW was taking a foray into the now popular genre in their new series, Reign, I was intrigued to say the least.

And, I desperately wanted to fall head over heels for CW’s Reign - but after last night’s lackluster debut, I might have to reconsider my position.

When Revenge concluded its second season, it left us with a thrilling cliffhanger: Victoria Grayson’s long-lost son Patrick turned up on her doorstep. Now, we never saw his face, but that was only because the actor who would portray him in Season 3 hadn’t been cast yet, but that’s all over now. Justin Harley (Smallville, Emily Owens M.D.) has snagged the pivotal role that will leave the Hamptons a real mess. As sure as it is that Patrick will shake things up for everyone, I’m more interested in the smaller picture of how Patrick will affect Victoria and the other Graysons.
According to E! Online, Harltey’s signed on for a multiple-episode arc, beginning with the Season 3 premiere. His sudden appearance on the Graysons’ doorstep shocked Victoria so much she dropped and shattered the glass she was holding. Why would that be? Well, for starters, Victoria had...

"Revenge" has made a big casting decision for Season 3. Justin Hartley will play Patrick, the long-lost son that Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) gave up for adoption as a teenager. Hartley will make his first appearance in the Season 3 premiere.
According to a report from E!Online, Hartley will appear as Patrick in multiple episodes of the upcoming season. His arrival should offset the abrupt losses of former regulars Ashley Madekwe (whose absence will presumably be explained at some point) and Connor Paolo (whose character, Declan, died).
In case you don't remember the saga of Patrick, he was the son Victoria gave up when she had a shot at art school in Paris. Since she was an essentially homeless teenager at the time, Victoria couldn't exactly take the baby with her. There were hints that Patrick had already found Victoria in the past but had been paid millions to stay away.

Big news, "Revenge" fans: Victoria Grayson's (Madeleine Stowe) firstborn son has been revealed!
E! News was the first to report that Justin Hartley -- who recently played medical intern Will Collins on The CW's departed "Emily Owens M.D." and who was Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on "Smallville" before Stephen Amell gave the character new life -- has been cast as Patrick, the long lost son that 16-year-old Victoria gave to a nun when he was only 6 months old so that she could attend art school in Paris.
An ABC spokesperson has confirmed Hartley's casting to The Huffington Post.
Patrick was technically introduced in "Revenge's" Season 2 finale in May when Victoria opened her front door and dropped her glass of red wine at the sight of Patrick (whose back was turned to the camera). "Revenge" fans, who previously only heard his voice say "Hello, Mother," will get to see him...

Justin Harley has been cast on Revenge in a crucial role, and multi-episode arc, this fall.
We'll meet him in the Revenge Season 3 premiere as Patrick, Victoria's long lost son.
The Revenge Season 2 finale ended with a bang as Patrick appeared at the Graysons' door. We never saw his face, but the mere sight of him shocked Victoria to the point where her glass shattered on the floor.
Revenge fans don't know much about Patrick, but we do know Vicki gave birth to him at 16 and then gave him away to a nun when he was only six months old so that she could attend art school in Paris.
When Patrick started looking for Victoria, she handled it like you'd expect, paying him $5 million to disappear. Guess that didn't take, because after teasing us at length, the show dropped the bombshell in May.

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fifth and final one announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on The CW.
After targeting teen girls for so long, The CW has widened their demographic focus and in the process have improved their fortunes with three of their five new shows from last year returning. One in particular, "Arrow," has been a big hit for them. As a result this year's line-up sticks heavily with genre fare - sci-fi, supernatural, and even a period piece.
The network's troubled "Nikita" has scored a six episode third season order to wrap up its story lines, no word on when those episodes will air just yet. In fact, specific premiere dates for all their shows have yet to be set.

While more than a million viewed last night's season finale of The Carrie Diaries, only time will tell if that was enough to turn the series' fortunes around. With last night's numbers--a 0.4 in the 18-49 demo with 1.07 million total--aren't doing much to drastically alter the tides, there are a few reasons why the show could be saved after all. We take a look at two reasons why Carrie, Sebastian and company could be doomed, and two more points to consider that could save the show.

Let's start with the best news. Meryl Streep's daughter Mamie Gummer is following in mom's footsteps by playing a lesbian, and I can't fucking wait. Emily Owens M.D. didn't get picked up for a second season, but that is only Ok because now Mamie will be on CBS' drama Backstrom playing "the female lead Nicole Graveley, a watchful, competent police detective who is a lesbian saddened over her breakup with her longtime partner." Her co-star is Rainn Wilson, who will play "Everett Backstrom, an overweight, offensive, irascible detective, as he tries, and fails, to change his self-destructive behavior." Sounds great already!

ABC has cast "Kings" star Chris Egan in its modern horror pilot "Gothica," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Egan will play the iconic Dorian Gray, the literary creation of Oscar Wilde who was the focus of the 1890 novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray."
"Gothica" is being described as "a sexy, gothic soap set in the present day that weaves together a mythology that incorporates the legends of Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein and Dorian Gray, among others." Egan's character is described as "a beautifully charming and devastatingly sexy man with a smile like a switchblade. He's an enigmatic playboy who develops a relationship with Grace Van Helsing and attempts to help her figure out who killed her family."
The high-concept ABC pilot has also cast British "Eastenders" star Tom Ellis as Victor Frankenstein, "a brilliant doctor who's trying to find a way to bring his late daughter, Anna, back to life.

Retooled and returning last night for its third season, ABC’s Body Of Proof (1.2/3) did not offer strong ratings evidence Tuesday. The drama was down a cratering 45% from its Season 2 premiere on September 20, 2011 and tied a series low. It was also down 37% from its Season 2 finale in April. Meanwhile, in another debut, The CW’s Cult (0.3/1) premiered at 9 Pm. Opening weak, the new midseason suspense drama attracted about 940,000 viewers and was down from the 1.4/1 who watched the finale of Emily Owens M.D. in the same slot February 5. The second episode of the second season of NBC’s Smash (0.9/2) stumbled again last night, down 25% from its season premiere to a new series low.

The CW's series roster this year is looking grim--and while that's hard to lament due to the fact that nearly every network has had massive freshman failures (we're especially looking at you, NBC) a sinking veteran in 90210 only adds to the woes of highly pushed series like The Carrie Diaries and Emily Owens M.D. failing to launch. The relatively massive success of Arrow, now the most popular show on the network in pure viewership (while The Vampire Diaries is still number one in the crucial 18-49 demo) can only count for so much: The CW still needs a hit show, and it needs one pretty badly.

While the frosty receptions for Emily Owens M.D. and The Mob Doctor seemed to suggest that the viewing audience has had it with TV shows treating the medical profession as a backdrop for their chicanery and flimflams—particularly the viewing audience composed of stern, 19th-century schoolmarms—Fox, for one, clearly still believes that laughter is the best medicine, even more so than actual medicine. It's just ordered a new single-camera sitcom from Community/The Good Guys writer Ben Wexler and Conan O'Brien's Conaco production company, about a big-city doctor who has a life-altering heart transplant—a ...
