Stephen J. Cannell created or co-created a whole lot of popular TV shows, including The Rockford Files, The A-Team, Renegade, The Greatest American Hero, 21 Jump Street, and The Commish. Somewhere in the mix was the crime drama series Wiseguy, which Cannell co-created with Frank Lupo. That show aired on CBS for a total of 75 episodes over four seasons, running from 1987 to the end of 1990… and industry scooper Jeff Sneider of TheInSneider.com hears that it’s getting a feature film revival, with Jonathan Banks (who is best known these days for playing hitman and fixer Mike Ehrmantraut on Breaking Bad) on board to reprise his role from the original series!

Sneider’s sources inform him that The Pope’s Exorcist producers Sophie Cassidy and Jeff Katz are joining forces with Stephen J. Cannell Productions to bring the Wiseguy movie to the screen. In case you need a refresher, the...

We finally know when the final season of Bosch: Legacy will return to our screens. The Titus Welliver-led series, based on Michael Connelly's best-selling novels Desert Star (2022) and The Black Ice (1993), has finally released a trailer for the third and final installment of the story of Harry Bosch. And if you are looking for more of a binge experience when the final season rolls around, have no fear: Prime Video has you covered on that front, too.

The show's third and final, 10-episode season will arrive on March 27, and will premiere with not one, not two, not even three, but four whole episodes. The subsequent six episodes will premiere two-at-a-time on Thursdays, until the series finale hits our screens on April 17, 2025.

RelatedEverything We Know About 'Bosch: Legacy' Season 3

Slated to be released in March 2025, discover every detail about 'Bosch: Legacy's third and final season.

When Charles Durning appeared on NCIS in 2004, he was neither a stranger to acting nor without knowledge of the military. The WWII veteran was a long-time presence on big and small screens. Durning's role as Corporal Earnie Yost on NCIS stood apart from many of his other roles, however, because it earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.

His appearance on NCIS wasn't Durning's first nomination in the category. He was previously nominated for playing Michael Gavin on Rescue Me and Thomas Finnegan on Homicide: Life on the Streets. Additional praise for Durning came with Oscar nominations for his roles in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) and To Be or Not to Be (1983).

In the minds of many, Durning will always be remembered for NCIS and the emotional intensity he brought to the role of Yost. Personal and powerful alike, Durning demonstrated...

Fourteen months after Bosch: Legacy Season 2 concluded in October 2023, details have begun to emerge about the third and final season on Prime Video. While the popular detective procedural TV series will function best by passing the torch to the new Renee Ballard spin-off starring Maggie Q, fans will witness Harry's (Titus Welliver) and his daughter Maddie's (Madison Lintz) storylines wrap up when Bosch: Legacy returns in 2025.

With two episodes slated to be released weekly, Bosch: Legacy 3 will undoubtedly continue to explore whether Bosch crossed the legal line and had his daughter's sexual abuser killed in jail. Of course, with Honey Chandler (Mimi Rogers) taking the new D.

On December 16, 2024, NCIS went on hiatus for six weeks following Season 22, Episode 9, "Humbug." The episode concerns the NCIS team investigating a former U.S. Marine's claim that a squad leader neglected his duties, calling to mind the long-running procedural's best hour of television. Almost 20 years to the day, "Humbug" was released after "Call of Silence," arguably the best-acted and the most compassionately moving NCIS episode ever made.

After twelve years of continuous zombie mayhem, The Walking Dead aired its final episode in November 2022. When it first aired, The Walking Dead was a phenomenon on par with Game of Thrones. However, The Walking Dead saw a dip in storytelling quality and was marred by some truly head-scratching decisions. Although it managed to dig itself out of that hole with the Whisperers storyline, the damage was done during the highly anticipated Saviors storyline, which was beloved by comic readers.

While The Walking Dead managed a return to form, despite the lack of Rick Grimes throughout the final seasons, there was nonetheless a period of time in which the show struggled immensely. This is most easily evident by a sharp decline in scores on IMDb.

Visual effects producer and supervisor Edward Irastorza, who was known for his work on Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winning film Pan’s Labyrinth, died on December 21. He was 52.

The news of his death was announced on his Facebook account: “It is with great sadness that I need to let you know that my brother Edward has passed away. Even though he had been very sick for just over a year we were not expecting him to go when he did. He was looking forward to Christmas as Erik was going to be with us. Unfortunately he didn’t make it.”

Irastorza was born on December 10, 1968 in Santa Clara, Calif. He began his career with the VFX genius Phil Tippett and went on to work with some of the top visual effects supervisors and producers in film and in TV starting with Sam Raimi for the Hercules and Xena TV series.

Supergirl returns this weekend but, for one week only, the title will refer to Alex Danvers rather than Kara. Called “Alex in Wonderland,” the sixteenth episode of the Girl of Steel’s fifth season will continue Alex’s adventures through Obsidian’s virtual reality world, following on from last week’s “Reality Bytes.” In that episode, we saw Alex eyeing up her own super-suit for a moment. Next time around, she’ll put it on and take to the skies as she gets a taste of her sister’s life.

Chyler Leigh has been teasing this development for a while, posting a behind-the-scenes snap of herself in the super-suit on social media. These new promo images give us a much better look at the costume, though. As you can see in the gallery below, Alex’s Supergirl suit resembles Kara’s, but with the red and blue swapped for black and turquoise.

The Arrowverse returns from its winter break tonight with the thrilling final two parts of “Crisis on Infinite Earths.” But though we’ll see Melissa Benoist’s Girl of Steel in these last installments of the crossover, Supergirl season 5 won’t resume until this Sunday. But when it does, we can expect a big shake-up to the show’s status quo.

True, we don’t know exactly what that’ll be just yet, but we can get a taste of it from these photos for the midseason premiere, titled “The Bottle Episode.” For one, the images tease that Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) will stick around after “Crisis” to continue causing problems in National City. What’s more, it looks like Jesse Rath’s Brainy will be going through some changes. Several of the pics seem to showcase him cycling through various personalities. Most notable is the fact that Rath’s...

So, that's what we'll be using for this spoiler session. To get things started, CBS' press release revealed that episode 4 is labeled, "The Secret of Macho Grande."

Hardwick delivers some new intel and more. We'll go ahead and start off this spoiler session with the Danny and Lexi situation.

Though Supergirl tells the story of Kara Zor-El first and foremost, it’s pretty much impossible to avoid certain hallmarks of the DC Universe due to her being the cousin of Superman. As such, Tyler Hoechlin has already shown up as Big Blue on several occasions, not to mention other vital characters such as James Olsen and Cat Grant putting in appearances as well.

So, naturally, one would think Lex Luthor wouldn’t be far behind, but aside from seeing him as a child during a flashback sequence, he’s been merely name-dropped around National City. Still, the likes of Lena and Lillian have filled the void in a sense, with the latter actually beating her son to the punch by being the first to don the Lexo suit in live action.

Fortunately, season 4 will soon bring us the moment we’ve long awaited, as Jon Cryer will debut as...

Exclusive: WeForShe has called “Action!” on the 2018 participants for its DirectHer Program. The women’s advocacy group, which is focused on creating practical ways to establish more gender equality in television, today named nine breakout female helmers and the veteran episodic helmers with whom they will be paired.

Directors with experience outside of episodic are identified through the WeForShe Program. They then are partnered with veteran episodic directors who guarantee their work during key parts of production and shooting. The inaugural program for DirectHer placed nine female directors who collectively have gone on to direct 65 episodes of TV so far.

Here is the list of participants and their teammates are Lynn d’Angona (paired with Jonathan Frakes), Paige Morrow Kimball (Todd Holland), Jen McGowan (Mary Lou Belli), Sj Main Munoz (David Rodriguez), Melissa Oren (Tamra Davis), Bola Ogun (Tawnia McKiernan), Mo Perkins (Gail Mancuso), Amber Sealey (Daisy Von Schlerer Mayer...

One of TV’s seminal gone-too-soon dramas could be back-after-a-long-while.

Adrian Pasdar told TVLine that a “reboot” of Profit — which was famously pulled from Fox’s schedule after just four airings in April 1996 — is being developed by director/producer Tawnia McKiernan, daughter of Stephen J. Cannell (an Ep on the original series).

A rep for McKiernan did not respond to TVLine’s requests for comment on the status of the project.

“The time is right,” Pasdar said during a recent interview, reflecting on his title role as a ruthless businessman who preceded such TV antiheroes as Tony Soprano, Dexter Morgan and Walter White.

To say that last night’s episode of Supergirl delivered some unexpected moments is quite the understatement. Sure, Kara may not have learned the true identity of Reign, but she did come pretty close. Still, the death of Livewire and the introduction of a new Worldkiller, Purity, are moments we won’t soon forget.

Next week, it looks as though the series may stray away from the Legion of Super-Heroes – at least for the moment – and instead focus on a few other unfolding situations. For starters, we can expect the battle between Morgan Edge and Lena Luthor to continue. Even having been explored sporadically thus far this season, our guess is that this thread will somehow be woven into the greater tapestry before long.

Speaking of which, it appears that Sam will continue to experience a struggle within, as her Reign persona will continue to come and go. In the past,...

Sneak Peek new images from the "Supergirl" episode "For Good", written by Robert Rovner, Cindy Lichtman, Alix Sternberg and directed by Tawnia McKiernan, airing January 29, 2018 on The CW:

"...someone tries to kill 'Morgan Edge' (Adrian Pasdar) and he barely survives. He accuses 'Lena' (Katie McGrath) of being behind the attempt and vows to destroy her. When Lena fears her hatred for Morgan will take her to the 'Luthor dark side', 'Kara' (Melissa Benoist) steps in to help her friend.

"Meanwhile, after 'Sam' (Odette Annable) realizes she's losing time, she confides in 'Alex' (Chyler Leigh) who decides to run some medical tests to see if she can find out what's going on with her new friend..."

Back in season 2, Supergirl writers aimed to spice up James Olsen’s character by having him take up crime-fighting under the guise of Guardian. However, fans didn’t take to the change much and it seems the writers themselves got bored of the development. In season 3, James hasn’t suited up once as the chrome-domed vigilante. Well, at least until now, that is.

In the upcoming eleventh episode, titled “For Good,” Mehcad Brooks’ character will finally step out from behind his desk at CatCo to dish out some justice as Guardian once again. As these new promo images from the outing reveal, he’ll suit up to take on corrupt businessman Morgan Edge (Adrian Pasdar), who’s been causing trouble in National City since the season premiere.

The synopsis for the episode,...

Even though we have a few days to go until some of our favorite DC TV shows return for the back half of the current season, we’re able to peer ever so slightly into the future now that more synopses are creeping online. Don’t forget, episode descriptions tend to make their rounds three weeks ahead of time, but thankfully don’t really spoil whatever episodes come before.

First, let’s talk about Supergirl.

On January 29, it looks as though the series may stray away from the Legion of Super-Heroes – at least for that week – and instead focus on a few other unfolding situations. For starters, we can expect the battle between Morgan Edge and Lena Luthor to continue. Even having been explored sporadically thus far this season, our guess is that this thread will somehow be woven into the greater tapestry before long.

A re-imagining of “The Greatest American Hero” is in the works at ABC with a put pilot commitment, TheWrap has learned. The 1980s comedy superhero series starring William Katt is being revived by “Fresh Off the Boat” writer Rachna Fruchbom. Fruchbom’s take on the series will give the concept a new twist by centering on Meera, a 30-year-old Indian-American who is given superpowers and tasked with protecting the planet by a group of aliens. The project hails from 20th Century Fox Television and ABC Studios. Fruchbom will executive produce with Nahnatchka Khan and Mandy Summers of Fierce Baby. Tawnia McKiernan,...

With mere hours to go until a brand new episode of Supergirl is set to air, the network has put out a teaser clip showing the Maiden of Might confronted by returning foes in Metallo and Lillian Luthor.

Now, we’ve known for a little bit that the Luthor matriarch would be putting in another appearance and that the Cadmus threat isn’t totally behind us, but given the recent knowledge that Lena is behind bars for some reason, it looks as though this footage takes place after some kind of jailhouse switcheroo.

Personally, I’m interested to see if the Cadmus arc will be wrapped up in this episode or sometime soon because a larger threat is seemingly looming involving that mysterious alien race that has been popping up lately. And, from what we can gather, it will have everything to do with the recently cast Teri Hatcher and Kevin Sorbo,...

In the promo for the next episode of Supergirl, it was heavily teased that Lex Luthor would finally be making an appearance in The CW series. Unfortunately, we now know that’s not the case as a new batch of images reveal that it’s actually her mother that Lena is visiting. However, with Metallo set to break the Cadmus leader out, Lex may still have some company behind bars.

As you can see, Lena (who’s served as an ally to the Girl of Steel so far) ends up being imprisoned when she’s blamed for that, and while there’s a very good chance she’s innocent, you have to believe this could sour the budding friendship between her and Supergirl.

For more on what to expect from this episode – titled “Luthors” – here’s the officially released synopsis:

After Metallo (guest star Frederick Schmidt...

Although it seems much of Earth-38’s mythology concerning supervillains began with Kara’s emergence as Supergirl, some key components are far behind us, such as Lex Luthor’s heyday. But that only makes sense when you consider that he’s Superman’s archnemesis, not the heroine this series focuses on.

Still, that hasn’t stopped the producers from introducing Lena and Lillian Luthor, Lex’s sister and mother, respectively, on the show. And from what we can tell, it’s the family matriarch whom Lex shares most in common with in this particular universe.

The extended trailer for the appropriately titled “Luthors” contains a few more bits of footage than what was seen in the promo that dropped last night, but what likely has everyone freeze-framing is the reveal of Lex’s battlesuit. Now,...

Despite being set in a world where Superman exists, Supergirl has often had to dance around the fact that the Man of Steel is part of this corner of the DC Extended Universe. During season 1, we caught only a glimpse of his arm or foot, and while he appeared in the first two episodes of season 2, Clark Kent’s been nowhere to be seen since.

That’s mostly because Henry Cavill is playing him on the big screen, but could Supergirl be about to introduce an alternate take on Lex Luthor? We know that Jesse Eisenberg will reprise the role in Justice League, but the promo above points to a new version showing up for a confrontation with his sister Lena as he continues rotting behind bars since being put there by Superman.

For more on what to expect from this episode of Supergirl, here’s the official synopsis for “Luthors.

Now that DC TV is back in full swing, we continue looking ahead at what each series has to offer for the remainder of the season. Whether it’s the introduction of a possibly new Black Canary on Arrow or knowing Kevin Smith will return this spring to direct another episode of Supergirl, there’s much to be excited about.

When it comes to the week Valentine’s Day occupies, it looks like there won’t be as much new material to look forward to. As it turns out, both The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will be taking the week off, which is actually a smart move by the network when you consider that said shows would have been slated to air on Valentine’s Day itself and many potential viewers may have romantic plans of their own.

Fox has officially given a pilot production commitment to the single-camera sci-fi dramedy series "Greatest American Hero," a remake of the classic 1981 superhero TV series.

"Dope" writer-director Rick Famuyiwa is teaming with "21 Jump Street" and "The Lego Movie" writer/directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller on this new take on Steven J. Cannell's gamed show about an ordinary man who is given a superpower suit he never asked for and must deal with the complications it brings to his life.

Miller, Lord, Seth Cohen and Tawnia McKiernan will executive produce the series and a casting director has been hired to find a leading man. This marks Lord, Miller and McKiernan's second attempt at a remake of the show following a failed attempt last season that had Rodney Rothman on board.

William Katt and Robert Culp starred in the original series which ran for three seasons on ABC and featured one...

Believe it or not, The Greatest American Hero ran for 44 episodes over three seasons, before being cancelled by ABC, on February 3, 1983. Teacher, Ralph Hinkley (William Katt), receives a super-powered suit from aliens, who tell him that he and FBI agent Bill Maxwell (the late Robert Culp) must save the world. The two form an unlikely alliance, as Ralph learns to master the suit (the instructions to which he lost). They are helped along by Ralph's divorce lawyer/girlfriend, Pam Davidson (Connie Selleca).

Fast & Furious and Sleepy Hollow alumni are working on a new telly version of The A-Team, for Fox...

In 2010, a crack commando unit got a film reboot from a studio that didn’t bother to continue with the franchise. Today, they survive as soldiers of fortune, and have been rebooted once more for the televisual realm. If you have a free evening, if no other show will do, and if you can find them.... maybe you will watch, The A-Team.

Indulgent intros aside, we’ll get to the point – Fox is developing a new TV version of The A-Team.

Sleepy Hollow writer Albert Kim is currently working on a script, and Tawnia McKiernan - daughter of the original series’ co-creator Stephen J. Cannell – has been lined up as a producer. Additionally, Chris Morgan – who has been heavily involved in the Fast & Furious film series – is also on board as a producer.

20th Century Fox Television is developing a remake of the 1980s classic TV show The A-Team, with Furious 7 screenwriter Chris Morgan coming aboard to produce the new series, according to a report from Deadline. The news comes five years after 20th Century Fox released their big-screen adaptation of The A-Team, which starred Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley and Quinton Jackson. This rebooted TV series will have a contemporary setting, with a twist on the team itself.

The original series centered on four highly-trained special forces soldiers, John "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard), Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Dirk Benedict), H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock (Dwight Schultz) and B.A. (Bad Attitude) Baracus (Mr. T), who escaped from a military prison after being detained for a crime they didn't commit. They fled to Los Angeles and began working as "soldiers of fortune," using their immense skills to help people in need, while trying to clear their name.

Reboot fever is far from over: Deadline reports that The A-Team will get a second life on TV. This time around, Fast and the Furious writer-producer Chris Morgan will executive-produce the action show for Fox (the original aired on NBC) alongside Tawnia McKiernan, daughter of the show's original creator, Stephen J. Cannell. It'll have the same premise: A group of American Special Forces ops get framed for a crime they didn't commit, only now the group will prominently feature women instead of mostly putting them on the sidelines, like the original series did with Amy Amanda "Triple A" Allen. In 2010, Fox also remade the series as a feature film starring Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson that wasn't exactly the box-office smash it hoped for. Perhaps, in its original TV format, it'll fare better — especially if they get Ed Sheeran to revamp the theme song.

Thirty years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to television by producer Stephen J. Cannell for The A-Team, a series about helping people in need as soldiers of fortune. After five years, they escaped into the Los Angeles underground until 2010, when the characters were given the big budget film treatment by Joe Carnahan. Now, 20th Century Fox Television has found them again and is planning a reboot series.Yes, while the movie version had its Ott charms but never pulled off the trick of launching a film franchise, the rights holders are now pinning their hopes on a refreshed TV series. Sleepy Hollow writer/producer Albert Kim and regular telly director Tawnia McKiernan (who also happens to be Cannell’s daughter) are set to be locked in a garage until they finish retooling the series for contemporary audiences, adding some new spins to the format including a more diverse...

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, you’ll once again know where to find The A-Team.

After a 2010 big screen adaptation starring Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson, 20th Century Fox TV is developing a contemporary take on Stephen J. Cannell’s ’80s action series, our sister site Deadline reports.

No longer a boys’ club, the project — penned by Albert Kim (Sleepy Hollow, Nikita) — will revolve around a diverse team of male and female American Special Forces operatives.

There's a new A-Team TV series in the works at 20th Century Fox with Fast & Furious writer-producer Chris Morgan executive producing alongside the daughter of the original show's creator, TV director Tawnia McKiernan, with Sleepy Hollow executive producer Albert Kim on board as writer. Fox's big screen outing for the motley bunch of mercenaries was not very successful, so they've obviously decided to take the guys back to their TV roots; but whether we'll see original characters Hannibal, B.A., Murdock, and Face is not revealed. Whether the classic team returns of not, one thing we do know from the following description that accompanies Deadline's report is that there will definitely be some new faces - because the roster will be made up of both male and female characters.

Things did not go well for 20th Century Fox when they released a big screen reboot of The A-Team, but because there obviously aren’t already enough TV shows which are prequels, sequels, or remakes, they’re now bringing these characters to the small screen.

The A-Team was a hit back in the 1980s, and this contemporary remake is coming from executive producer Chris Morgan (Furious 7) and the daughter of the show’s creator, TV director Tawnia McKiernan. Sleepy Hollow executive producer Albert Kim is writing the adaptation, which is described as follows:

The new A-Team revolves around a diverse team of American Special Forces operatives. Unlike the original all-male squad, the new team will include both male and female members. The group have been framed for a crime they didn’t commit and set out to clear their names by uncovering the black-ops conspiracy that set them up.

TV reboots show no signs of slowing down this development season. 20th Century Fox Television is teaming with Fast & Furious writer-producer Chris Morgan to create a contemporary take on The A-Team, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The new take hails from Morgan, with Sleepy Hollow executive producer Albert Kim set to pen the script and original The A-Team creator Stephen J. Cannell's TV-director daughter, Tawnia McKiernan, also attached. Twentieth TV owns the rights to Cannell's catalog, with the studio previously taking on Wiseguy.

20th Century Fox TV is putting together a new contemporary TV series reboot of the classic Stephen J. Cannell-produced 1980s action series.

The episodic mission-of-the-week style series will revolve around a diverse team of American Special Forces operatives, but this new team will include both male and female membrs.

Framed for a crime they didn't commit, they set out to clear their names by uncovering the black-ops conspiracy that set them up - helping others along the way using their singular skills.

The tone is said to be fun and inventive. "Fast and Furious" writer-producer Chris Morgan will executive produce with Cannell's daughter Tawnia McKiernan while "Sleepy Hollow" executive producer Albert Kim will pen the adaptation.

The property was revived back in 2010 as a Joe Carnahan-directed feature starring Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson and Sharlto Copley.
