The BBC and Netflix are getting ready to launch their series about the Lockerbie bombing from Line of Duty producer World Productions.

The BBC has dropped trailer for the show launching May 18 and later globally on Netflix, which stars Connor Swindells and Patrick J. Adams and follows what happened after the worst terror attack to take place on British soil 37 years ago.

The series tells the story of the Scots-u.S. investigation into the attack and the devastating effect it had on the small town and the families who lost loved ones. From the initial exhaustive search for evidence on the ground in Scotland, via the U.S. and Malta to the trial at Camp Zeist in 2000, the series leads up to the forthcoming new trial in the U.S.

The Bombing Of Pan Am 103 follows Sky and Peacock’s Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, which was criticized by some of the victims.

Deadpool & Wolverine star Hugh Jackman looks fondly on his time portraying Logan since first donning the character's famed claws nearly 25 years ago. However, beyond Wolverine's appearance and badass nature, Jackman believes Logan resonates with fans because of his humanity.

Appearing on The Official Marvel Podcast, Jackman reflected on his legacy playing Wolverine and how he's re-embraced the character since returning for Deadpool & Wolverine. Though Jackman has become synonymous with portraying Wolverine, making the no-nonsense mutant resonate with fans throughout his run, it took him a while to realize how much fans cared about Logan. Regarding his approach to playing Wolverine, the Australian actor said, "I don't think I understood what it meant to the wider world. I wasn't a big comic book fan, in particular, growing up. I had never heard of X-Men. In some ways, I'm really glad I didn't know. Because I really approached Logan...

Deadpool & Wolverine sees Hugh Jackman wear the comic-accurate yellow suit and wield his claws as Logan for the first time since 2017. According to the Oscar-nominated actor, the wait is worth it, claiming working on the Marvel Cinematic Universe "exceeded anything" he's done in his time portraying Wolverine.

Speaking at a Marvel fan event in Shanghai, Jackman offered high praise for Deadpool & Wolverine, which marks his MCU debut after portraying Wolverine throughout 20th Century Fox's X-Men film franchise. Jackman insists his experience with Deadpool & Wolverine validated his comeback as he had fun working alongside Deadpool actor and close friend Ryan Reynolds while admiring the story they told with the film. "The experience of making the movie was also one of the greatest of my career, and I've been playing Wolverine for 25 years," Jackman said. "This experience exceeded anything I've done before as this character and in many other movies,...

CBS is developing a Van Helsing series with a modern-day crime fighter twist. Written by Jonathan Lee and from Elementary creator Rob Doherty, the show will focus on Dr. Abraham Van Helsing and ex-fbi agent Mina Harker.

Famous monster hunter Van Helsing is making his way to primetime with a new crime procedural series in development at CBS that will see Dr. Abraham Van Helsing working alongside his ex, FBI agent Mina Harker, to solve some of New York City's "most harrowing cases," per Deadline.

The character of Van Helsing was first introduced into the horror lexicon through Bram Stoker's classic 1897 gothic horror novel Dracula. In the original story, Van Helsing is a jack-of-all-trades type character, as he's not just a doctor but a polymath who doubles as a scientist, professor, philosopher, and more.

Deadline reports that Jonathan Lee (Lockerbie) is writing, with Elementary creator Rob Doherty set to executive produce. The series won't be produced in-house by Paramount but instead by Lionsgate Television. Prolific producers Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly are executive producing as part of their overall deal with Lionsgate.

Van Helsing was a horror thrill ride from start to finish while changing many aspects of its monsters. But only one truly benefited from the changes.

Van Helsing has made many appearances throughout the history of both film and television.

CBS has come out the winner in a bidding war to become the home to a new TV series based on Dracula’s legendary foe Dr. Abraham Van Helsing… and no, this project does not (despite the image above) have anything to do with the 2004 Hugh Jackman movie. Or the Van Helsing show that ran on Syfy for five seasons, wrapping up in 2021. Or any previous version of Van Helsing, a character who has been played by the likes of Edward Van Sloan, Peter Cushing, Anthony Hopkins, Mel Brooks, Rutger Hauer, and many others over the decades. This is a fresh take on the character that’s coming our way from Elementary creator Rob Doherty, Carl Beverly, Sarah Timberman and Lionsgate Television.

According to Deadline, CBS has a Van Helsing series in development.

And yes, the title appears to be Van Helsing, but it’s no relation to Syfy’s Van Helsing, which must make TV history awfully confusing to the average watcher.

This Van Helsing will be a lot closer in scope to CBS’s past hit, Elementary, which followed a modern-day Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Watson solving crimes.

Apparently, this series landed at CBS after quite a bidding war for it, even if the procedural king of broadcast network TV seems like a natural fit.

CBS developing Van Helsing TV series with modern twist. Network sees procedural content as a strong direction. Van Helsing's resurgence fits broader vampire trends.

A new Van Helsing series is in development from CBS. Abraham Van Helsing is a long-standing horror character who first appeared in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula.

Together, Harker and Helsing will work to solve some of New York City's toughest cases. The series will be produced by Rob Doherty, Carl Beverly, and Sarah Timberman.

With a Sherlock-less Watson series set to premiere at midseason and a procedural about Albert Einstein’s great-grandkid already in the works, CBS is also eyeing a crime drama that will appropriate the name of Professor Abraham Van Helsing.

Penned by Jonathan Lee (of Netflix’s upcoming Lockerbie miniseries) and with Elementary creator Rob Doherty also serving as a writing executive producer, Van Helsing is described as “a contemporary take on literature’s greatest monster hunter, Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, who uses his uniquely inquisitive mind working alongside his ex, relentless FBI Special Agent Mina Harker, to solve New...

The first seasons of "Star Trek" shows are notoriously rocky, with some fans warning their friends to just "start with season 2" in the more extreme cases (looking at you, "Star Trek: The Next Generation"). "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," on the other hand, had a totally knockout premiere run. Even my favorite "Star Trek" series, "Deep Space Nine," struggled with a hit-or-miss first season that floundered on occasion, but every single episode of "Strange New Worlds" is a bonafide banger (you can read our review here!). Sure, they only have 10 episodes as compared to the serialized network shows, which had 26, but batting 100 is still no small feat. 

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" follows Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the original U.S.S. Enterprise, in the time before Captain Kirk took command. There are updated, younger versions of many of our favorite characters from the original series,...
