“This is not a movie you see. This is a movie you survive! You have been warned!“

So claims the tagline for Traumatika, the sophomore feature from director Pierre Tsigaridis (Two Witches). Based on the trailer below, released today by Saban Films, I’m inclined to believe it.

Written by Tsigaridis and Maxime Rancon, Traumatika follows “A young boy (whose) night terrors become reality when his mother begins showing signs of demonic possession. What he’s about to experience will haunt him for the rest of his life and claim countless lives across generations.”

Check out the trailer below:

Dear reader, I have chills from watching this trailer. I’m about as seasoned a horror fan as it gets, and I have to admit, this film appears truly nightmarish. Especially considering the fact that it all seems to be from the point of view of a small child experiencing the...

The trailer for Traumatika warns that it’s not a movie you see — it’s a movie you survive.

The supernatural horror film possesses theaters on September 12 from Saban Films.

A young boy’s night terrors become reality when his mother begins showing signs of demonic possession. What he’s about to experience will haunt him for the rest of his life and claim countless lives across generations.

Pierre Tsigaridis directs from a script co-wrote with Maxime Rançon. The pair previously collaborated on Two Witches.

Rebekah Kennedy (Two Witches), Emily Goss (The House on Pine Street), Ranen Navat, Aj Bowen (You’re Next), Sean O’Bryan, Susan Gayle Watts (Olympus Has Fallen), and Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) star.

“It’s hard to prepare yourself for the highly disturbing film that Pierre and Maxime have created. They are truly mad genius storytellers,” said Saban co-presidents Jonathan Saba and Shanan Becker.

2025 has been a remarkable year for horror, from original titles like Sinners to legacy sequels like 28 Years Later and, most recently, the body horror Together. If you ask Saban Films, however, the most terrifying feature has yet to make its entrance. Premiering in theaters on September 12, Traumatika promises a chilling new spin on possession horror that goes to dark and deeply disturbing places, creating trauma for its characters that spans generations and maintains a curse that claims countless lives over time. As part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event for fall movies, we can exclusively share a new image from the film that shows a young boy locked in terror as he stares into the shadows. His life will be forever changed by the horror he'll witness when a malevolent entity worms its way into his family.

Traumatika follows Mikey, played by Ranen Navat, who looks to add to...

When it comes to horror movies, there are a lot of films that promise to be so scary that after viewing them you'll never be the same again. 99.9% of the time, that's all just marketing propaganda meant to entice viewers into the theater. There hasn't been a truly terrifying horror movie in a long time, but all that could change thanks to Traumatika, a hidden gem that's set to premiere in September that's already getting rave reviews.

Like a million other horror movies before it, Traumatika touts itself as one of the scariest movies ever made. It doesn't just stop there, however, as the new teaser for the film (seen below) boasts that the movie is so intense that fans can't even handle a whole trailer. Instead, we're treated to several review quotes that label the movie as "a nonstop onslaught of terror," "violent, angry, and unafraid," and a film that "claws at your throat.

New demonic horror movie Traumatika is so intense that a full trailer can’t be shown at all, the brief new teaser warns today.

Saban Films releases the unrated demonic horror movie in theaters on September 12, 2025.

Director Pierre Tsigaridis worked with his Two Witches co-writer, producer Maxime Rancon, on the script.

In Traumatika, “A young boy’s night terrors become reality when his mother begins showing signs of demonic possession. What he’s about to experience will haunt him for the rest of his life and claim countless lives across generations.”

“Traumatika is not a movie you see – it’s a movie you experience. And there’s no better way to experience it than on the big screen,...

Although it's not due out for another couple of months, Saban Films is already preparing viewers for what could be the most disturbing horror film of the year — Traumatika. Throughout the entire week, chilling new posters have been dropping for what's been dubbed the "5 Days of Trauma," an event hyping the deeply haunting new movie and all culminating in today's new key art, which brings fans face-to-face with evil incarnate. Collider is excited to cap off the promotional event by exclusively sharing the final poster of a demonic being with burning orange eyes peering through clawed hands and bearing gnarled teeth. It's a taste of the gritty, sinister air of director Pierre Tsigaridis's latest feature before the curtain is pulled back with the first teaser next week.

Traumatika has been described as a genre-bending nightmare mixing the scares of possession horror, slashers, and beyond as it fittingly explores the nature of trauma across generations.

Two Witches filmmaker Pierre Tsigaridis is back with Traumatika, a demonic horror movie so intense that Saban Films is rolling out “5 Days of Trauma” poster reveals leading up to the trailer debut.

Saban Films has acquired the North American rights to the “off-the-wall” horror film Traumatika for a theatrical release later this year.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 11 “Holy Mother of God.”] Surprise, Bobby’s (Peter Krause) mother is alive! That’s even news to his wife Athena (Angela Bassett). Bobby’s family reunion with his mother, Ann (Lesley Ann Warren), and his brother, Charlie (Sean O’Bryan), when an emergency at her mega-church brings the 118 to the scene. As he explains to Athena, he doesn’t talk about her because he doesn’t want to think about her or want her in his life because she’s a con artist. He last spoke to her before his and Marcy’s wedding, and after the apartment fire that killed his wife and children, Ann sent a condolence letter on official ministry stationary. He didn’t even finish it because he was afraid there’d be a pitch for a donation. Charlie then visits Bobby at the firehouse and invites him and Athena to lunch with Ann. But ...

Note: This story contains spoilers from “9-1-1” Season 8, Episode 11.

“9-1-1” barely gave its firefighters a chance to breathe following Season 8’s two-part serial killer saga before dropping more chaos on their laps: Including the unexpected introduction of Bobby’s mother and Buck dropping a difficult truth for Buddie fans.

Episode 11, titled “Holy Mother of God,” followed the 118 as they responded to an emergency call at a megachurch, where Bobby (Peter Krause) ran into his estranged mother (played by Lesley Ann Warren), who turned out to be a traveling minister with a health crisis. Viewers learn that Bobby distanced himself from his mother and brother Charlie (Sean O’Bryan) after the death of his dad, after seeing his family move forward from the loss and making a name for themselves in the megachurch circuit.

While Bobby dealt with his family reunion, Buck (Oliver Stark) struggled with his best friend Eddie (Ryan Guzman...

After watching his best friend move to Texas in the previous episode of 911, the eleventh episode of 911 saw Buck moving into his new digs aka Eddie’s house and it quickly becomes clear he might be in over his head. While Buck made the grand gesture of subletting Eddie’s house so he could move to Texas, moving into his best friend’s house is only making him miss Eddie that much more.

Unable to sleep in the house, Buck goes to see Maddie and asks to sleep over. He opens up about struggling to sleep at the house telling Maddie how the house just doesn’t feel like his own place. For Back, it’s just a constant reminder of Eddie to which Maddie asks Buck to make a promise to her: try to make some new friends.

The next day, Buck tries to make small talk...

It's time for some more of Bobby's lies to come out in 911 season 8, episode 11. However, I will say that technically Bobby didn't like: his mother is dead to him. That's just not the way a lot of people see it.

Caution: This post contains Spoilers for 911 season 8, episode 11

The new episode will see Bobby's mom come into the story, as the 118 is called out to a situation at her church. This leads to a lot of questions. Why exactly did Bobby lie about his mother being dead? On the surface of this, I don't blame Bobby for his wording.

Meanwhile, we get a returning cast member. Anirudh Pisharody is back as Ravi, which makes sense considering the 118 is a team member down. Ryan Guzman's Eddie is off to Texas to be an active father to his son, Christopher. Ravi has been heavily underused since his first appearance in...

Pretty much everyone, including Athena, is shocked to learn Bobby’s mom isn’t dead in the teaser for ABC’s 9-1-1 season eight episode 11, “Holy Mother of God.” Episode 11, directed by Aisha Hinds, will air on Thursday, March 20, 2025 at 8pm Et/Pt.

The cast is led by Peter Krause as Bobby Nash and Angela Bassett as Athena Grant-Nash. Jennifer Love Hewitt plays Maddie Han, Oliver Stark is Evan “Buck” Buckley, Kenneth Choi is Howie “Chimney” Han, Aisha Hinds stars as Henrietta “Hen” Wilson, Ryan Guzman is Eddie Diaz, and Gavin McHugh is Christopher Diaz.

“Holy Mother of God” Plot: The 118 responds to a call at a mega-church, where Bobby runs into his estranged mother (Lesley Ann Warren). Meanwhile, Buck is looking to expand his social circle now that Eddie has left.

Somehow the end of February is approaching and that means it will soon be time for the return of 911 on ABC. The second half of season 8 is set to premiere on Thursday, March 6 and fans have been eagerly anticipating the return.

To catch you up on what has happened so far, let’s see what we could expect for the characters amid their return. There's a lot to remember!

Today at Grimmfest, the much-anticipated Northern UK Premiere of Traumatika is set to leave audiences breathless. Directed by Pierre Tsigaridis and starring Rebekah Kennedy, this chilling film isn’t for the faint of heart—it’s a psychological deep dive into trauma, possession, and the kind of familial horror that leaves scars across generations. Crafted with a love for the horror genre’s darkest aspects, Traumatika melds elements of slasher, giallo, and true crime with a sharp twist on found footage, creating an experience that is unsettling, brutal, yet profoundly captivating.

Having previously stunned audiences with Two Witches, Tsigaridis once again collaborates with producer Maxime Rancon to deliver a terrifying spectacle. Traumatika stands out as a visceral love letter to horror in all its forms, mixing found footage, first-person storytelling, and Satanic Panic vibes with an all-star cast. Employing multiple points of view and exploring cursed artifacts, demonic possession, and a harrowing true crime narrative,...

Stars: Susan Gayle-Watts, Ranen Navat, Aj Bowen, Sean O’Bryan, Emily Goss, Rebekah Kennedy | Written and Directed by Pierre Tsigaridis

From the off, Pierre Tsigaridis’ sophomore film, Traumatika, promises its audience an exploration of the various sub-types of childhood trauma, focusing on emotional, physical, and sexual abuse alongside a gratuitous amount of violence.

The story is told non-linearly, starting in present-day L.A. We are introduced to Jennifer Novac’s (Susan Gayle-Watts) highly exploitative – verging on evil – true crime show intent on exploring a spate of child murders that occurred in 2003 in Pasadena, California. But, before we get there, the audience is transported back further in time to the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, when a lone wanderer buries a mysterious artefact only to then commit suicide after being plagued by visions of his child’s death at the hands of the demon Volpaazu.

93 years later, and we shift to a young Mikey’s (Ranen Navat) bedroom.

The Princess Diaries is a classic Disney film that put Anne Hathaway on the map in 2001. A coming-of-age comedy about Mia Thermopolis, an average girl who learns she's long-lost European royalty, the film and its 2004 sequel were based on a series of novels by Meg Cabot. Unfortunately, however, one big change was made to Mia's love life.

In the original film, Mia crushes on Michael Moscovitz but his character is nowhere to be seen in the sequel, The Princess Bride 2: Royal Engagement, despite being fairly prominent in the source material. The reason for Michael's absence had an entirely real-world explanation, and it led to Mia instead romancing Nicholas Deveraux, played by Chris Pine.

Updated by Jordan Iacobucci on August 31, 2024: The Princess Diaries franchise reminds a beloved staple of early 2000s comedies, with many members of its main cast going on to become major stars in the decades that followed.

Not every mystery series gets a satisfying ending, like Persons Unknown, leaving viewers hanging on unresolved plotlines. Santa Clarita Diet and The Society both fell victim to abrupt cancellations, leaving key mysteries unanswered to the disappointment of fans. Shows like FlashForward and Kyle Xy were cut short just as they were starting to reveal intriguing mysteries, leaving audiences craving more answers.

A good overarching mystery is one of the most consistent ways to keep an audience tuning in to a TV show week after week, but not every series that does so manages to present satisfying answers before ending. After the success of series like Lost, network TV quickly became flooded with copycats hoping to replicate the popularity of the long-running shows with similar mysteries baked-in to their loglines. While the ending of Lost might not have been the most satisfying conclusion in the world, it at least had the chance to provide some answers.

Sawyer's harrowing survival in Rust Creek is aided by Lowell's unexpected loyalty, leading to a jaw-dropping finale. Lowell's heroic sacrifice saves Sawyer from dangerous criminals, showcasing that good can come from unexpected places. The Netflix thriller Rust Creek is a lesson in never judging a book by its cover, with evil and good intertwined in a gritty tale.

Released to critical acclaim in May 2018, Rust Creek is a gritty crime thriller shot on location in Kentucky's Appalachian forest. The plot concerns Sawyer Scott (Hermoine Corfield), a college senior traveling to Washington D.C. for a job interview. On the way, Sawyer takes a detour and gets lost in the woods, where she encounters a pair of siblings burying a corpse. Desperate to remain out of danger, Sawyer engages in a harrowing survival effort with plenty of twists and turns en route to the jaw-dropping finale.

The dramatic impact...

What was just an ordinary day for a college senior turns into a nightmare when she gets lost in rural Kentucky on her way to a job interview. In the 2018 thriller Rust Creek, director Jen McGowan’s feature film debut, Sawyer becomes a moving target after two men suspect her of witnessing them commit a crime. Written by Julie Lipson (The River), the film stars Hermione Corfield, Jay Paulson, and Sean O’Bryan.

Rust Creek is an indie thriller that captivates with its talented cast and unique Appalachian setting. Hermione Corfield shines in her role as Sawyer Scott, delivering a compelling and intense performance. Jay Paulson as Lowell Pritchert and the rest of the cast contribute to the film's chilling atmosphere and thrilling narrative.

The 2018 movie Rust Creek is full of nail-biting suspense and thrill, and it owes this to its talented cast of actors. The film, which made its way to Netflix's US Top 10 in April 2024, is an intriguing survival thriller following an ambitious young woman who winds up on the wrong road (literally and figuratively) entirely because of chance. This leads her through a series of horrible luck and terror, and her will to survive and an unlikely connection with a shadowy figure is left as her only hope.

An official YouTube channel dedicated to the classic sitcom The Munsters and the franchise it spawned was launched three years ago, and as the years have gone by a whole lot of clips from the 1964 – 1966 show have been added to that channel. But now Universal has decided to go ahead and share a couple full movies on there as well: The Munsters’ Revenge from 1981 and Here Come the Munsters from 1995. Not only can both of those movies be viewed on the The Munsters channel, but they’re both embedded at the bottom of this article as well!

Directed by Don Weis from a script by Arthur Alsberg and Don Nelson, The Munsters’ Revenge reunites original sitcom stars Fred Gwynne, Yvonne De Carlo, and Al Lewis. The movie shows us what happens when Mad Dr. Diablo sends robot doubles of Herman and Grandpa Munster to steal art.

"Hope I didn't wake the others..." "The others...?? There's nobody around for acres..." FilmFrontier Studios has unveiled an official festival trailer for an indie film titled The Veil, now playing on the festival circuit. Written & directed & produced by Cameron Beyl, this just premiered in his hometown of Portland at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival earlier this month. Not to be confused with the 2016 horror film The Veil with Jessica Alba, or the 2021 Korean spy thriller series The Veil, this one is something else. Redemption gives way to a reckoning when a reclusive retired priest shelters a young Amish runaway in crisis, only to uncover a mystery that ties her presence to a terrifying encounter from his youth– and the bright aurora borealis that rages overhead. The little indie film stars Sean O'Bryan and Rebekah Kennedy. A "genre bending cosmic horror" that definitely seems like a good fit for the H.

A new trailer has been revealed for the dramatic thriller Rust Creek. This film, from Kentucky, had its World Premiere at the Betonville Film Festival earlier this year. In the film, a young woman and college senior finds herself in trouble, when her car breaks down. She is found by a stranger, in the woods as her pursuers close in. Rust Creek centrally stars: Hermione Corfield (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) as Sawyer, along with: Micah Hauptman (In Stereo), Jay Paulson and Sean O'Bryan. A preview of the film's January release is available now. The trailer shows Sawyer, with car problems. Two men stop to supposedly help her. However, they have other intentions and Sawyer is chased in the local woods. It appears as if she escapes and is found by another character, Lowell (Paulson). Now, both characters face Sawyer's attackers. But this time, Sawyer is ready for this threat.

"If they find you here, they'll kill ya." IFC Midnight has released a trailer for Rust Creek, an indie survival thriller from filmmaker Jen McGowan which premiered at the Bentonville Film Festival earlier this year. The film is about an "ambitious, overachieving college senior" who is heading to a job interview, but makes a wrong turn and ends up stranded deep in the frozen Kentucky woods. She is forced into an uneasy alliance with an strange loner with "shadowy intentions", while trying to survive and find her way back home safely. The cast includes Hermione Corfield, Jay Paulson, Micah Hauptman, Sean O'Bryan, Daniel R. Hill, John Marshall Jones, and Jeremy Glazer. This looks very much like a Kentucky woods thriller, exactly as it sounds, with some twists & turns to go along with the survival. Not sure if it's any good though. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Jen McGowan's Rust Creek,...

After a solid theatrical run where it took in $195 million worldwide, from a $60 million budget, London Has Fallen is coming home this week with its release on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand formats today, June 14. In case you didn't get a chance to see this action sequel in theaters, we have an exclusive preview for you to check out before the movie hits Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand formats. This preview takes fans behind-the-scenes of the destructive Chelsea Bridge scene in this sequel.

This preview, courtesy of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, features second unit director Steve Griffin, who teases that, since they couldn't actually blow up the real Chelsea Bridge in London, this massive attack scene was filmed by using a huge green screen set at an airfield in Bulgaria during principal photography. We also hear from senior visual effects supervisor Sean Farrow, who reveals that some of the most fascinating conversations during the production involved around deciding which bridges to blow up. He also explains that the production chose Chelsea Bridge because it was a suspension bridge that could be pulled apart piece by piece.

Devastation of a world capital and a revenge plan against an American president fuel the high-octane London Has Fallen, coming to Digital HD on May 31, 2016, and Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand on June 14, 2016 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. The sequel to the worldwide smash hit Olympus Has Fallen raises the stakes with non-stop action and suspenseful plot twists.

In London Has Fallen, the stellar cast of Gerard Butler (300), Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight), Angela Bassett (American Horror Story), Robert Forster (Jackie Brown), Melissa Leo (The Fighter), Radha Mitchell (Pitch Black), Sean O'Bryan (Vantage Point), and Morgan Freeman (Lucy) reprises their original roles from Olympus Has Fallen, joined by Alon Moni Aboutboul (The Dark Knight Rises), Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen), Charlotte Riley (Edge of Tomorrow), and Waleed F. Zuaiter (Homeland). Babak Najafi directs London Has Fallen.

When the British Prime Minster dies unexpectedly, Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) knows it is his duty to prep with Secret Service Director Lynne Jacobs (Angela Bassett) for them to accompany U.S. President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) to the state funeral at St Paul's Cathedral in London. With every powerful world leader set to attend, the funeral should be the most protected event on Earth. Yet within moments of arriving, heads of government are assassinated and London landmarks are attacked.

Asher, Banning, and Jacobs are ambushed and retreat amidst a hail of gunfire and explosives. The devastated British capital goes into lockdown. Banning will stop at nothing to secure Asher's safe return home. Back at the White House, Vice President Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman) races against time brainstorming with top advisors in the Situation Room to get those trapped in London a lifeline of support and a way out. Outnumbered and outgunned, Banning reaches out for help to an English MI6 agent (Charlotte Riley) who rightly trusts no one. Failure is not an option as they attempt to stop the criminals from carrying out the final phase of their revenge plan. Take a look at our exclusive preview from London Has Fallen before picking up the Blu-ray and DVD this week.

Gramercy Pictures has debuted the new poster for the Gerard Butler-led action thriller "London Has Fallen," the sequel to 2014's surprise hit "Olympus Has Fallen".

In the new take, the world's leaders assemble for the funeral of the UK Prime Minister with the event becoming the target of a terrorist organization. It's up to the President of the United States (Aaron Eckhart), his formidable Secret Service head (Gerard Butler), and an English Mi-6 agent (Charlotte Riley) to save us all.

The story begins following the death of the British Prime Minister and his funeral becomes a target of a terrorist organization to destroy some of the world's most powerful leaders, devastate the British capital, and unleash a terrifying vision of the future. The only hope of stopping it rests on the shoulders of the President of the United States (Aaron Eckhart) and his formidable Secret Service head (Butler), and an English Mi-6 agent (Charlotte Riley) who rightly trusts no one.

There's also a new official synopsis out...

I'm still bitter that when it came to last year's "Battle of the Die Hard-in-the-White House" movies, the crown went to Olympus Has Fallen over the vastly superior White House Down. But so it goes, and we will be treated to yet another installment of Gerard Butler's Secret Service Agent Mike Banning taking down baddies. Millennium Films has sent out a press release announcing that filming has commenced on London Has Fallen, which sees Banning accompanying the U.S. President (Aaron Eckhart) and Speaker of the House (Morgan Freeman) to attend the funeral of the British prime minister. The press release also includes the first official plot synopsis, and this is my favorite part: "a deadly plot to kill the world's most powerful leaders, devastate every known landmark in the British capital, and unleash a terrifying vision of the future." All those unknown landmarks? Totally safe. Hit the jump for the press release.

Principal photography has begun on Millennium Films' and Focus Features' London Has Fallen, the sequel to the worldwide smash hit Olympus Has Fallen.

Gerard Butler again stars as Secret Service agent Mike Banning, alongside Aaron Eckhart as the President of the United States.&#160 Also returning are Academy Award&#174&#160winner Morgan Freeman, as Vice President Trumbull, Academy Award&#174&#160nominee Angela Bassett, as Secret Service Director Lynne Jacobs, and Academy Award&#174 winner Melissa Leo as Defense Secretary Ruth McMillan.

Cal (Tim Roth) is at a Lovematch Connections singles mixer and this was a funny opening to the show so far, as we don't know why he's there. As he's also single he may be on the look out to meet other women, but we also know that's not really his forte. Also his heart really lies with Gillian (Kelli Williams). He pretends to be a furrier to ward off the woman who feigns to show an interest in him, more like his Brit accent (which she mistakes for Irish!) He meets another woman and asks if she was in a hotel room what would she order, chocolate cake, strawberries or warm honey. (The answer being obvious.) She's flustered and walks away. Gillian calls telling him about the wife killer, Eric Matheson (Garret Dillahunt)who is on the run and the FBI are searching for him. Cal then meets another...

Two old ladies in a thrift store open boxes to reveal dismembered body parts. Nick (George Eads) arrives on the Cs with Sara (Jorga Fox) this time and not Ray, (Laurence Fishburne) as is the norm; who is busy with his own personal issues. Det Frankie (Katee Sackoff) tells them his head and foot were found. Sara admits to shopping at this thrift store, as they have some good things. Sara doesn't find any leakage in the boxes and Nick believes the rest of the parts must be in the boxes. They were dropped off by a truck on a pick-up route. Nick wonders how much the killer thought the Db was worth, "times are tough." That was the supposedly funny line. Nick takes Gloria (Tracee Ellis Ross) to see Ray who's conducting an experiment with Hodges (Wallace Langham). Nick comments he looks more like "Dr Dre than Dr Ray.

Last night, NBC aired the final two episodes of their mystery-thriller series, Persons Unknown. The show revolves around a group of people who wake up in a small town and must figure out how to survive and escape. The cast includes Chadwick Boseman, Lee Purcell, Jason Wiles, Andy Greenfield, Daisy Betts, Tina Holmes, Alan Ruck, Kate Lang Johnson, Sean O'Bryan, and Gerald Kyd.

NBC waited until summer to air Persons Unknown; a time when fewer people watch television and their isn't much competition. On Monday nights, it got very poor ratings, even for a summer show, and was consequently sent to the TV graveyard known as Saturday nights.

Remi Aubuchon, one of the show's executive producers, has said that the show was originally envisioned to have self-contained seasons but could easily run for multiple years. Based on the ratings and their treatment of the...

The peacock network recently premiered a new mystery series for the summer called Persons Unknown. Will the series last? Will viewers get answers to their questions or be left hanging?

Persons Unknown revolves around a group of strangers who wake up in a strange hotel and find that they're in a ghost town and unable to leave. They see security cameras observing them and their unknown captors create mistrust among the group by offering freedom if they hurt the others. The cast includes Chadwick Boseman, Lee Purcell, Jason Wiles, Andy Greenfield, Daisy Betts, Tina Holmes, Alan Ruck, Kate Lang Johnson, Sean O'Bryan, and Gerald Kyd.

The NBC mystery series debuted on June 7th to very disappointing ratings. The premiere attracted a poor 1.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic and just 4.38 million viewers. That represents a distant third place for the timeslot and is...

Speaking of Battlestar, as reported previously, Mary McDonnell makes her Grey's Anatomy debut on the November 13 episode. She’ll be playing a doctor named Virginia Dixon,...

Potts will play his wife.
