Tyne Daly is returning to CBS.

Today, the network announced the Cagney and Lacey star has joined the upcoming Murphy Brown revival. As reported earlier, CBS has ordered 13 episodes for a Murphy Brown reboot. The sitcom originally premiered in 1988 and starred Candice Bergen as the titular Murphy Brown, a recovering alcoholic and investigative journalist who returns to host the fictional TV news program, FYI.

A Strange Angel is coming to CBS All Access this summer. This week, the streaming service announced their new TV show will premiere in June. The drama “explores the dramatic intersection between genius and madness, science and science fiction, and is inspired by the real life story of Jack Parsons.” The cast includes Jack Reynor, Rupert Friend, Bella Heathcote, Zack Pearlman, and Michael Gaston.

CBS might be closing the book on Living Biblically: The freshman sitcom has been pulled from the primetime schedule indefinitely, a CBS rep confirms for TVLine.

Repeats of The Big Bang Theory will run in Biblically‘s Monday timeslot for the next two weeks. The show could return at a later date, but at this point, no further episodes has been scheduled. (A total of eight episodes have aired so far.)

Living Biblically stars Mad Men alum Jay R. Ferguson as a man who decides to change his life by living strictly according to what’s written in the Bible.

Hulu has given a straight-to-series order for the middle school comedy “PEN15.”

Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle star in the series, playing versions of themselves as thirteen-year-old outcasts in the year 2000, surrounded by actual thirteen-year-olds, where the best day of your life can turn into your worst with the stroke of a gel pen. Hulu has given the show a 10-episode first season order.

Erskine and Konkle co-created the series with Sam Zvibleman. All three will serve as writers and executive produce, with Zvibleman also set to direct multiple episodes.

“The First Wives Club” reboot has been ordered to series at Paramount Network, Variety has learned.

The order comes less than two weeks after the network ordered the project to pilot. The half-hour comedy is based on the 1996 Paramount film of the same name, which was itself based on the 1992 book of the same name by Olivia Goldsmith. It will follow a group of New York women who band together after their marriages fall apart, and who find strength in their sisterhood and a little revenge. Paramount Network has ordered 10 half-hour episodes.

Tracy Oliver, who co-wrote the screenplay for the hit comedy film “Girls Trip,

The long-gestating American adaptation of “Utopia” has been ordered to series at Amazon, Variety has learned.

In addition, series creator Gillian Flynn has inked an overall deal with Amazon Studios, with “Utopia” being the first project under that deal. Based on the British series of the same name created by Dennis Kelly, “Utopia” follows group of young adults who meet online and are mercilessly hunted by a shadowy deep state organization after they come in to possession of a near mythical cult underground graphic novel. They discover the conspiracy theories in the comic’s pages may actually be real and

This Close is coming back for more. This week, Sundance Now announced they've renewed the TV show for a second season.

The following contains spoilers from Thursday’s Superstore.

At least one life was forever changed by the events of this week’s Superstore. And maybe, just maybe, two were?

In the episode, Amy reveals to Dina and Cheyenne that she thought she was pregnant a few weeks back, but a store-brand pregnancy test came back negative. Then Dina informs her that Cloud 9 recently recalled said store-brand test after a series of false negatives were reported throughout the midwest. And so, Amy heads to the back and takes four more pregnancy tests, all of which come back positive!

Dina and Cheyenne inquire about the father,

At least this guy that built a jet-powered fire vortex cannon put a disclaimer in front of the video before he got going. Apart from that the technical jargon that he goes into briefly would confuse just about anyone that doesn’t know much about the manner in which this thing is put together, but the idea that it shoots fire would be enough to get a lot of people interested. The design of the thing looks kind of cumbersome, but it’s also just sleek enough to look like it might be impressive. Once he turns it on though the resulting

Bat men (that is, the New York Yankees) again played havoc with my Arrow viewing this week, by preempting the CW drama here in the Tri-State Area (not to be confused with Phineas and Ferb‘s Tri-State Area).

And yet I know how much y’all love to talk about Oliver & Co,. so here is the place to do it — albeit in the absence of an actual recap.

What I do know is that this week’s episode, “The Dragon,” was Ricardo Diaz-centric, as the architect behind the seizing of Star City traveled with Laurel to Blüdhaven to take a

The latest hashtag to make the round on social media is #FilmStruck4. Started by the fine folks at FilmStruck, a movie streaming service that focusses on classic, foreign and arthouse movies in the Criterion Collection and Turner Classic Movies library, it is meant to be a celebration of the intensely personal nature of cinema: encouraging followers to share the four movies that define you. Regardless of critical acclaim or popularity, you share the movies that are most meaningful to your personally, that got you into and loving movies in the first place. And because I am, like I imagine everybody

What’s Your #FilmStruck4?

The NFL is coming off a rough season lowlighted by some ratings challenges and a president — and a big chunk of the league’s fan base — grumbling about players protesting during the national anthem. But after an off-season in which Fox spent a reported $3 billion for the Thursday Night Football TV rights for its 25th year airing the NFL games, spring has sprung and a new campaign looms, as the country’s most lucrative sports machine released its 2018 regular-season…

RuPaul’s Drag Race was dripping with poetic justice on Thursday — and with pickle juice, but that’s a whole other thing.

Following her explosive exchange with Eureka during last week’s Untucked, The Vixen entered the next phase of the competition with a fresh game plan: “Eureka needs attention, so instead of giving her a lot of negative attention, I’m just going to ignore her — and that’s going to drive her crazy.” (Little did Vixen know, it would also light a fire under Eureka’s “sexy baby” ass.)

This week’s mini challenge required the queens to

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “Bosch” Season 4.]

The life of a homicide detective is not an easy one, but Det. Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch (Titus Welliver) has been tested even more than usual this season on his eponymous Amazon series. As the lead on a task force investigating the murder of a high-profile attorney on Los Angeles’ Angels Flight railcar, Bosch has to contend with public perception, a shady police commission chief, and possible corruption inside the Lapd.

And while that’s all part of the job, Bosch’s own personal tragedies have also overlapped with cases this year. Our hero finally got closure for the cold case murder of his mother since that killer and the Angels Flight killer turned out to be one and the same. But the biggest blow came when Harry had to watch his ex-wife Eleanor (Sarah Clarke) get gunned down and die. In trying to bring her killers to justice,

Grey Sloan Surgical Innovation Prototypes Day looked a lot more hilarious in Thursday’s Grey’s Anatomy than I remember Science Fairs being. Then again, I never attended a Science Fair the way that most of Grey Sloan’s doctors did these presentations: high as a kite on pot-laced cookies. Mind you, “Judgment Day” wasn’t all laughs — in fact, the hour thrust upon Jo an opportunity to take the lead, ready or not, on a major surgery, and revealed to Jackson why it had been such a mistake for him to waive the agreement that his grandfather had made with Rebecca.

Looking back on it, it’s really quite astounding that the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever became the entertainment mainstay that it did. The premise of a full-blown cinematic universe was untested and the studio had no reason to believe that audiences would show up for the crossover it was building up to. The roster of heroes available to them was filled with B-listers that nobody had been forced to care about before: important to the comics, to be sure, but had never crossed over into the mainstream in the same way that Spider-Man, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four had. And

The Road to Infinity War: ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’

A lawsuit brought by a stuntman pinned beneath an SUV driven by Tom Sizemore during a TV production has been settled. A notice of settlement was filed March 29 on the suit, which named Paramount Pictures and Sizemore. The parties must appear in court in July to finalize it. Terms were not disclosed. Stuntman Steve de Castro alleged Sizemore was intoxicated during filming for the USA Network show Shooter when the incident occurred. The filming was done at Agua Dulce…

The Originals may have started as The Vampire Diaries spinoff back in 2013, but it has since become a great story of its own. We’ve seen the rise and fall of the vampire-werewolf horror genre, and yet The Originals is still here even though this season will be its last. It might be too soon to tell and as much as we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves, we wouldn’t be surprised if The CW orders some type of spinoff for this show as well. Our fascination for the undead will always be there, and with the premiere of

What We Learned from “The Originals” Season 5 Premiere

Ian Somherhalder is coming to Netflix in the new vampire drama V-Wars, but for some reason a lot of people have taken to thinking that the plot sounds very similar to another series that was featured on FX. V-Wars is being likened to The Strain largely because the main character, Somerhalder, plays the role of a doctor that suddenly notices a new disease that is turning people into murderous creatures that feed on other humans. Now if the term ‘feeds’ is taken out of context and likened to cannibalism then it could be different, but with a title like V-Wars

Ian Somerhalder to Star in Netflix Vampire Drama “V-Wars”

Mark Duplass admits that he can identify a bit with Ma Anand Sheela, the focus of Netflix’s buzzworthy docuseries “Wild Wild Country.”

The personal secretary to cult leader Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Sheela didn’t initially come to Oregon in the early 1980s to cause trouble. But after her attempts to build Rajneeshpuram — a multi-million dollar utopia in a remote part of the state — were met with resistance, she went on the offensive.

For Duplass, who executive produced “Wild Wild Country,” Sheela’s resolve kind of reminds him of his early days in filmmaking.

“Sheela started with ideological love and excitement to build this community, which is very similar to how I came into independent cinema,” Duplass told IndieWire’s Turn It On podcast. “I just want to make my creative stuff and make it good. But then Sheela started to get threatened and she accidentally realized that she was
