Matt Roush: I hope it won’t come as too big of a surprise that I am unable to track the fortunes of long-gone series once they go into cable or other branches of syndication. Jensen Ackles and Reba McEntire are among the new cast additions.

They also don’t seem to have the Season 4 finale episode “The Crimson Hat.” Is The Mentalist coming back? Are we ever going to see the episodes they’ve skipped? Not everybody cares about Grey’s Anatomy and the stalker bimbo movie of the week! - Kelle Then they started over (three hours Tuesday-Friday), got to about the middle of the fifth season, and took it off again. Question: What’s going on at Lifetime? A few months ago, they started running The Mentalist in various blocks of time (three hours Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, 12 hours Thursday, and either three or six hours Monday), but they only ran the last half of the last season. Regarding the new season of Big Sky, they might as well call that show a big tent, with big names like Reba McEntire, Jensen Ackles, Henry Ian Cusick, Rosanna Arquette, and more coming aboard for Season 3. I agree that Keitel’s devious character on Strange New Worlds was a blast, and I imagine we’ll see Angel back again causing mischief. Matt Roush: If Jerrie returns, it will most likely be on a guest-star basis, and since they left the door open for the character, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jerrie back at some point, though there’s no official word one way or the other. CathiĪnother streamer bites the dust! From 'Angela Black' to 'Joe Pickett,' a look back at the standout series that found a home on the platform. It’s way better than Big Sky and closer to the books.


I am hoping you see a future for this gem of a series on Paramount+ or another streamer in your crystal ball. Question: Aargh! I just found out there may not be a Season 2 for Joe Pickett (which I enjoyed watching on Paramount+) because Spectrum Originals is being shut down. In the case of Evil, each of those 10 episodes was a creepy gem, so being a proponent of the “less can be more” philosophy, I’m not complaining. Also, Evil’s creators were doing double duty overseeing the final season of The Good Fight(also 10 episodes) that starts next month, so from their perspective, churning out fewer episodes was most likely a blessing. Matt Roush: Like you, I want as much of this show as I can get, but 10 episodes is pretty much the streaming norm these days, which with few exceptions applies to Paramount+ originals - including another CBS transplant, SEAL Team, which just announced that its upcoming season in September will be only 10 episodes (a far cry from 20-22 a season on CBS). Plus, thoughts on 'Days of Our Lives,' 'Tom Swift,' 'Becoming Elizabeth,' and more. Question: Why was Evil only 10 episodes this season and not 13 episodes like previous seasons? - Shawna I’ve long felt that cliffhangers are an overdone device, and when they backfire, as it did here, they end up in the “pet peeve” category. And you make a good point about the volatile state of the industry, where shows that once felt safe might face a more uncertain future on any platform - streaming as well as broadcast - when corporate winds blow the wrong way. The cliffhanger ending certainly had its heyday and was used to good effect, but with all the options now, I think those days are over and viewers much prefer somewhat tidy endings, in the event of those unexpected cancellations. 9 column regarding the Tom Swiftcancellation, you stated: “If producers aren’t already guaranteed a next season, they should take pains to craft a satisfying season-ending.” The only problem with that is that as some shows have found out, even “guaranteed next seasons” are apparently no longer guaranteed anymore, when renewals have been retracted amongst ownership and top brass changes. To Hang or Not to HangĬomment: In your Aug. If you’re thirsting for a replay, all of the episodes from Season 1 and the first half of Season 2 are streaming on discovery+ as part of the newly launched CNN Originals hub. The second season was split into two, with four episodes airing in May and the next batch of four currently set for October. The sumptuous Emmy-nominated series for food and travel lovers will be back this fall. In 'Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy,' the star takes his parents to a region he once lived in.
