Matthew Lillard is a well-known name in Hollywood, despite the actor receiving very few leading roles throughout his career. Still, Lillard has a dedicated fanbase that adores him thanks to his most iconic and entertaining roles. He's appreciated for his natural ability to make the audience laugh, which has defined his career in comedy.

Lillard is known for several memorable performances, but few are quite as popular as his rendition of Shaggy Rogers in Scooby-Doo (2002) and his performance as a villainous slasher in Scream. Even in horror roles, he is known for being comical, solidifying his reputation as a comedy actor. However, Lillard has notably serious roles, such as his character portrayal in TV shows like Good Girls and Twin Peaks: The Return. As Lillard plans to return to the Scream franchise for Scream 7 in February 2026, now is a good time to review his best roles.

For fans of deep conspiracy thrillers looking for their next binge-watch, especially if you enjoyed airplane thrillers like Carry-On and Manifest, look no further than Departure. Created by Vince Shiao, the series follows Kendra Malley (Archie Panjabi), an investigator for the fictional Transport Safety and Investigations Bureau, after a plane disappears over the Atlantic Ocean. The series currently has 3 seasons, each following a different transportation-related catastrophe. From the compelling and sometimes morally gray characters to the high-octane plot, every episode of Departure is charged with the highest stakes, ending with a twisty and compelling cliffhanger that leaves audiences rushing to watch the next episode.

An airplane thriller with 80% on Rotten Tomatoes becomes a global hit on Netflix more than four years after its debut. Though it arrived very late in the year, the airplane thriller premise received a boost with Carry-On. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, with T. J. Fixman writing the script. The story centers on a Tsa officer who's blackmailed into allowing a nerve agent on board a flight during Christmas Eve. The cast of Carry-On is led by Taron Egerton, Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler, and Jason Bateman.

By the start of 2025, Carry-On demolished records to become the fifth-most-watched English-language Netflix Original of all time. That data will soon be backed up by Nielsen's streaming charts. But the initial response underlines the holiday-themed thriller struck a nerve with audiences. Another plane-centric suspense saga is catching on with subscribers, albeit four years after it originally premiered on a rival platform.

The challenge of crafting a list of the best performances of the year never lies in thinking of people who deserve to be on it. It’s always, always in agonizing over which ones to include in the limited slots we have.

That is why, as usual, we’ve restricted ourselves here to shows that aren’t on either of our individual top 10 lists or on our list of favorite episodes (and why we further kept our ourselves to only one actor per show). It’s not that we don’t know how good Andrew Scott on Ripley or Jessica Gunning on Baby Reindeer or the entire casts of Shogun and Somebody Somewhere and My Brilliant Friend are. We do! We just really want to spread the love when we can, given the sheer amount of excellence on display during the past 12 months.

Here’s everything you need to know about Doctor Who Season 15 ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Since the epic reboot in 2005, Doctor Who has skyrocketed in global popularity, and Season 15 is shaping up the biggest one yet. This iconic British sci-fi series first hit screens in 1963, following The Doctor, a mysterious alien who zips through time and space in the Tardis, picking up human companions and diving into adventures that range from delightfully cheesy to downright terrifying.

While the original series ran until 1989, the 2005 revival, dubbed New Who by fans, launched a new era of timey-wimey greatness. Now, seven Doctors later, Ncuti Gatwa is stepping into the role of the 15th Doctor. With the Disney+ partnership boosting its reach, this fresh chapter promises to keep the world’s longest-running sci-fi franchise as thrilling as ever.

The new season of Doctor Who has already cast plenty of new faces, from Varada Sethu to Nicola Coughlan — but these are both companions of Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor. The latest casting sees Under the Bridge and The Good Wife star Archie Panjabi enter the Whoniverse as a villain!

After a mixed debut season on Disney+, Doctor Who will return for its second season on the platform in 2025, although its future beyond that remains uncertain. Season 1 ranged from fantastic episodes, like 73 Yards and Boom, to more disappointing entries like Space Babies and The Devil's Chord. In terms of viewership, it wasn't a resounding success, but it exceeded in its target demographic. What's more, 2025 will also see an all-new spinoff premiere, titled The War Between the Land and the Sea.

Doctor Who season 15 has now added an Emmy winner to face off against Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor. Gatwa's era of the long-running BBC sci-fi series kicked off with 2023's seasonal special "The Church on Ruby Road," where he first joined forces with Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday. The Doctor and Ruby's adventures took them to deep-space warzones, alternate timelines, the Beatlemania of the 1960s, and Regency-era England before life would lead to them parting ways with one another after an emotional Doctor Who season 14 finale.

While season 15 wrapped filming in May, Deadline has reported that The Good Wife star Archie Panjabi will appear in the series when it returns to Disney Plus and BBC One in 2025. It is unknown who Panjabi will play and how many episodes she will appear since the BBC keeps details under tight wraps. However, it is confirmed the role is a villainous character.

“Shōgun” star Anna Sawai made history as the first Asian performer to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday. Sawai was honored for her captivating leading performance as Lady Toda Mariko in the acclaimed FX series.

Her historic Emmy win comes six years after Sandra Oh became the first Asian performer to be nominated in the lead drama actress category in 2018 for BBC America’s “Killing Eve.” Oh was nominated three more times for the same role, but never won.

Sawai wasn’t the only Asian actress hoping to make a stamp on history. Maya Erskine was also nominated in Sawai’s category for her lead role in Prime Video’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”

Sawai, who was born in New Zealand to Japanese parents and is mainly based in Japan, was considered the frontrunner to win her category, which had heavy competition.

Hiroyuki Sanada became the second Asian performer to win Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role in FX’s “Shōgun” at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday. The prolific Japanese actor was recognized for his portrayal of Lord Yoshii Toranaga in the first season of the drama series.

With the acting Emmy win — Sanada’s first of his six decade–long career — he follows in the footsteps of Lee Jung-jae’s history-making accomplishment in 2022 when Lee became the first Asian actor to win the lead drama actor Emmy for Netflix’s non-English series “Squid Game.”

Nominated alongside Sanada were Gary Oldman (“Slow Horses”), Donald Glover (“Mr. & Mrs. Smith”), Dominic West (“The Crown”), Idris Elba (“Hijack”) and Walton Goggins (“Fallout”).

Sanada is also a producer on “Shōgun,” and he worked closely with showrunners Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo, as well as the Japanese crew to keep...

It's a day like any other for Detective Chief Inspector Sam Tyler (John Simm), the Manchester policeman at the center of BBC One's Life on Mars (available through a BritBox subscription). Everything is normal until strange circumstances send Sam hurtling into the past. The logline concept sounds great on paper, but it's even better in execution. With far more than just a shoddy framework built around a gimmick, Life on Mars is a hefty series that's never bogged down by awkward exposition. As Sam tries to figure out what happened to him, his journey takes him through intriguing cases, pits him against his peers, and, yes, ultimately answers its most pertinent questions.

Life on Mars aired for two seasons from 2006 to 2007 before spawning an equally brilliant sequel series, Ashes to Ashes (2008-2010). Whereas many other shows premised on similar sci-fi twists tend to lose the thread (and audience interest...

2024's best dramas challenge the standard streaming model, bringing new twists and inventive approaches to TV shows. Shows like Baby Reindeer and True Detective have sparked conversations with their unorthodox styles and storytelling. With intense competition in the streaming era, standout dramas like Shgun and Masters of the Air deliver outstanding content.

2024's best dramas have begun to question the limitations of the standard streaming model which has become accepted in the entertainment industry, suggesting that the future of TV dramas could be bright. Audiences may be tiring of the same old drama shows, but 2024 has brought some new inventive twists to the genre.

Season 2 of Hijack has added big talents like Toby Jones and Lisa Vicari, joining Idris Elba on the hit Apple TV+ series. Plot details for Hijack Season 2 are under wraps, with Elba returning as star and executive producer. Initially intended as a limited series, Hijack was renewed for a second season, with Elba teasing a new situation for Sam Nelson.

Hijack season 2 has added several big talents to the cast, who will join Idris Elba in the return of the hit Apple TV+ series. According to Deadline, BAFTA winner Toby Jones, who is best known for roles in the likes of Captain America: The First Avenger, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is now on board, as are Lisa Vicari, star of the acclaimed mystery drama Dark, and International Emmy winner Christiane Paul, who is best recognized for her roles in FBI: International and Counterpart.

Hijack season 2 is in production, with Idris Elba leading again alongside new stars Toby Jones, Lisa Vicari, and Christiane Paul. The storyline for season 2 remains a mystery, likely exploring many returning characters and unresolved conflicts. With an expanded cast, season 2 promises more unpredictability and a wider scope, keeping audiences on their toes.

Hijack has cast three major stars, the Idris Elba-led thriller series beginning production on season 2 in the process. Season 1 of the thriller series followed Elba's Sam Nelson, a business negotiator who becomes a key figure in negotiating with hijackers on an airplane from Dubai to London. Hijack season 1 ended with the plane safely landing, after which Sam and the lead hijacker, Stuart, have a final confrontation leading to the latter's arrest. However, there are still plenty of unanswered questions about the group that orchestrated the attack in the first place.

Under the Bridge star Archie Panjabi, who plays Suman Virk, explains why her character visits Warren Glowatski (Javon Walton) in prison during the show's finale. The true crime drama follows the real-life case of Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta), a young girl in Saanich, British Columbia, who goes missing one night after attending a party.

After the penultimate episode of the true crime limited series saw Warren Glowatski (Javon Walton) sentenced to life in prison for his involvement in the 1997 murder of Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta), in the finale, the white, wealthy Kelly Ellard (Izzy G) received only a five-year sentence despite having been the ringleader.

“Justice wasn’t really served in real life, so it couldn’t ever be that type of story where you get to the finale and the bad people go away,” Mehta says. Instead, the episode focuses more on the characters “finding their best shot at peace and finding a little bit of grace in their suffering. Exhibiting a bit of mercy isn’t ever going to make the horror go away,...

The first few minutes of “Mercy Alone,” the eighth episode in Hulu’s true-crime limited series based on Rebecca Godfrey’s 2005 book, begin with Kelly Ellard (Izzy G.) talking explicitly to Josephine (Chloe Guidry) about wanting to break Reena’s bones with a bat, burn her at the stake and bury her alive in the forest. Kelly’s mom, who is in the room, does not even flinch at her daughter threatening to kill someone in such detail.

With any long-running TV show, there are bound to be rumors of behind-the-scenes drama and feuds. Most of the time these are just ploys to get people talking, but sometimes they have some weight behind them. Weve seen these kinds of stories come out of shows such as The Good Wife, where a feud between Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi almost tore the series apart. And, of course, the ever-infamous feud between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker on, and off, the set of Sex and the City. But theres another series that has its fair share of scandals: Desperate Housewives. The show follows four housewives; Susan (Teri Hatcher), Bree (Marcia Cross), Lynette (Felicity Huffman), and Gaby (Eva Longoria), and the dramas and scandals that fill their day-to-day lives. The inciting incident is the death of their friend and fellow housewife Mary Alice (Brenda Strong), and when they discover that...

Hulu’s “Under the Bridge,” which premiered on the streamer last month, could be another drop in the true-crime dead-girl television canon of which there are many varying outings, until it swerves into another direction when telling the horrific true story of Reena Virk. Based on Rebecca Godfrey’s book of the same name, in 1997 the 14-year-old Virk was murdered by a group of teenagers in British Columbia, Canada, after previously being bullied at school.

The television show, helmed by Quinn Shephard and Samir Mehta, delves into Godfrey’s book about Virk’s murder with Riley Keough playing Godfrey and Lily Gladstone as Cam, a fictional character who is a police officer and Godfrey’s estranged friend from high school, who both investigate the Virk case.

In wanting to create a fleshed out show, and to pay respects to Virk, Shephard and Mehta used Godfrey’s book as a jumping off point.

Your browser does not support the video tag. Screen Rant presents a clip from Under the Bridge episode 4.

The true crime series Under the Bridge continues its dramatization of the 1997 murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk, and Screen Rant has a clip from the shows fourth episode. The show shares its title with a bestselling book by the late Rebecca Godfrey, who underwent an exhaustive research process in the name of telling Virks story.
