In April 2025, Kevin Bacon's horror series, "The Bondsman" took over the Prime Video charts, signalling the arrival of what looked to be yet another popular series for the streamer. Just one month later, Prime Video canceled "The Bondsman" in a surprising turn of events that reminded us all of the fickle nature of the streaming sphere. For Bacon, however, this wasn't the first time he'd fronted an initially popular show with a grizzly streak that was cancelled before its time.

Back in 2013, the actor debuted as former FBI agent Ryan Hardy in "The Following." The crime thriller series was created by Kevin Williamson, who's best known for writing "Scream" and several of its sequels, as well as creating the archetypal teen drama series "Dawson's Creek." In "The Following," however, Williamson indulged an even more violent and gritty tone, with Bacon's Hardy tracking down serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy...

Richard Langley (Dean Haglund), Melvin Frohike (Tom Braidwood), and John Fitzgerald Byers (Bruce Harwood) -- collectively known as the Lone Gunmen -- first appeared in the episode of "The X-Files" called "E.B.E.". They were a trio of very, very intense nerds who spent their days looking into conspiracy theories, often finding (specious) evidence for their existence. Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) also investigated conspiracies, and would occasionally turn to the Lone Gunmen to give his investigations credibility. The Gunmen, however, were comic relief characters, presented as an over-the-top counterpart to Mulder. No matter how wild Mulder got with his talk of aliens, monsters, and government cover-ups, the Gunmen outstripped him in paranoia and conspiratorial hypotheses. 

The Gunmen appeared in 40 episodes of "The X-Files" overall (including in the weird latter-day revival seasons), and many fans loved them. They were a whimsical warning of what Fox Mulder might become, if he...

Grotesquerie is a crime thriller horror drama series created by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken.

Real-life cowboys and outlaws in Western movies captivate audiences with their fascinating stories and talented performances by famous actors. Lesser-known figures also shine in Western films, uncovering hidden aspects of the Wild West and adding to the allure of the legendary period. Iconic performances by actors like Viggo Mortensen, Jeff Bridges, and Kris Kristofferson immortalize the memory of Wild West figures in cinematic history.

Part of the reason the Western genre has endured for so long was its connection to the true story of America and the real people who made the Wild West such a fascinating setting. With cowboys, gunslingers, and outlaws all making their way through the American frontier, something about these folk heroes and sinister bandits connected with audiences and meant that certain real peoples stories have been adapted repeatedly. While the legends behind these real figures always made for a great story, it was also vital...

The Exorcist TV show was canceled due to low ratings, despite critical acclaim and a loyal fan base. Season 2 had even lower ratings than the first season, leading to its cancellation. The planned storyline for The Exorcist season 3 would have involved Marcus, Tomas, and Mouse tracking down a possessed priest with the help of people from different faiths. Flashbacks and branching timelines would have been used to fill in the gaps. While there won't be a season 3 of the TV show, a new Exorcist movie trilogy is in the works, with the first movie titled The Exorcist: Believer. Ellen Burstyn will reprise her role as Chris MacNeil, Regan's mother, and the movie is set to be released on Peacock on October 13, 2023.

The Exorcist season 3 never arrived and the TV series based on one of the greatest horror movies of all time ended. The original movie from 1973 was an intense,...

This article contains spoilers for Jack Ryan season 4.

Superheroic CIA analyst Jack Ryan is one of author Tom Clancy’s most iconic creations. In addition to spawning a whole “Ryanverse” in print, Jack has been played by some of Hollywood’s most prominent heavy hitters including Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine.

With the release of Prime Video’s Jack Ryan season 4, however, one actor can now comfortably claim to being Jack-ier than the rest. This season represents John Krasinski’s (The Office) fourth and final time embodying Jack Ryan’s very big shoes, giving him at least two more Jack Ryan adventures over any other actor. Still, someone else will inevitably take over the Ryan reigns one day as this season marks the end for both Krasinski’s depiction of the character and the series known as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan overall.

So how does...

Here is a wish for the future: Amazon Studios will take the character of Jack Ryan to the big screen and do a few big-budget actioners with no holds barred. John Krasinski has to play the titular role, of course. And the movies need to be more like the earlier Jack Ryan seasons than the later ones in order to be more fun. However, considering Krasinski is a lot more than Jack Ryan, which includes his directorial ambitions, it does not seem very likely, which is really a shame considering how good the actor has been for the role. We are going to come back to this, but for now, let us look into the endgame of Jack Ryan.

Five years after the very on-point, straightforward, action-driven maiden season, Jack Ryan came up with its most twisted, plot-driven story that involves a lot of relevant issues in world politics. The...

Plot: The fourth-and-final season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan finds the titular character on his most dangerous mission yet: facing an enemy both foreign and domestic. As the new CIA Acting Deputy Director, Jack Ryan is tasked with unearthing internal corruption, and in doing so, uncovers a series of suspicious black ops that could expose the vulnerability of the country. As Jack and the team investigate how deep the corruption runs, he discovers a far-worse reality—the convergence of a drug cartel with a terrorist organization—ultimately revealing a conspiracy much closer to home and testing our hero’s belief in the system he has always fought to protect.

Review: After three pulse-pounding seasons, Prime Video’s foray into Tom Clancy’s connected universe is ending. Filmed back to back with the third season, the fourth series of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan offers a shorter run that is...

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan season 4 features two female leads, with Betty Gabriel returning as Elizabeth Wright and Abbie Cornish reprising her role as Dr. Cathy Mueller.

Cathy Mueller, who is Mrs. Jack Ryan in the Tom Clancy novels and films, was in Jack Ryan season 1 and makes her long-awaited comeback after missing seasons 2 and 3. Elizabeth Wright was introduced in Jack Ryan season 3, and she is in line to become the new Director of the CIA when the agency's dirty secrets get exposed, threatening national security in Jack Ryan season 4.

Okieriete Onaodowan's stunning exit from Station 19 played out earlier this month, and the beloved actor has already lined up his next role.

According to Deadline, Onaodowan has landed a series regular role on Prime Video's Jack Ryan Season 4.

The star is set to play Adebayo “Ade” Osoji on the high-octane drama.

Viewers will have a long wait for the fourth season because the third has yet to premiere.

New additions for Jack Ryan Season 4 also include Zuleikha Robinson (The Exorcist), Louis Ozawa (Hunters), Derek Cecil (House of Cards), and Nancy Lenehan (People of Earth).

Production on the fourth season is set to get underway soon.

Station 19‘s loss is Jack Ryan‘s gain. Okieriete Onaodowan, who recently wrapped his five-season run as Dean Miller on the ABC firefighter drama, is joining Prime Video’s Tom Clancy thriller in its fourth season as a new series regular, our sister site Deadline reports.

The actor is one of three new series regulars, along with Zuleikha Robinson (The Exorcist) as Zeyara and Louis Ozawa (Hunters) as Chao Fah.

Exclusive: Zuleikha Robinson (The Exorcist), Louis Ozawa (Hunters) and Okieriete Onaodowan (Station 19) have been tapped as series regulars opposite John Krasinski on the upcoming fourth season of Amazon Prime Video’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Additionally, Derek Cecil (House of Cards) and Nancy Lenehan (People of the Earth) have been cast in recurring roles in the drama series. Production recently wrapped on Season 3, and a premiere date will be announced at a later date.

Season 3 finds Jack Ryan (Krasinski) on the run and in a race against time. Jack is wrongly implicated in a larger conspiracy and suddenly finds himself a fugitive out in the cold. Now, wanted by both the CIA and an international rogue faction that he has uncovered, Jack is forced underground, crisscrossing Europe, trying to stay alive and prevent a massive global conflict.

Also starring are Wendell Pierce as James Greer and Michael Kelly as Mike November.

Still Star-Crossed, the novel by Melinda Taub, is an interesting and clever look at the world Shakespeare didn’t actually lay out all that distinctly in Romeo & Juliet. It’s equal parts fan fiction and development cheat by appropriation, but it spins a decent yarn and delivers an updated sense of drama. It’s not only solid Ya entertainment, but it’s just the sort of effort we could use more of, both as an enticement to read more and backward entry into other literature.

Still Star-Crossed, the show, dresses up the idea wonderfully but renders it all rather lifeless by trying to out-drama itself at every turn in a decidedly Shondaland morass of overworked histrionics. Oddly, this manages, at points, to come full circle and become interesting again by offering up near-cornball drama in situations that actually require all the drama you would think you could muster.

Romeo and Juliet was just the beginning. Literally.
