Before we were assured of her big-screen 'Justice League' debut on 2015, Wonder Woman has had a hell of a time getting back into live-action. Not only did the multiple movie plans fall apart, but David E. Kelley's big-budget pilot for an NBC TV series was practically laughed into cancellation. Now, even as The CW eyes its own gritty 'Wonder Woman' reboot to follow through on the success of 'Arrow,' failed TV pilot creator Kelley believes the idea could still work on TV. Does Wonder Woman really have a future on the small screen?
For all NBC's comeback success this year, one project that's certainly caught our eye is that of the Bryan Fuller-helmed re-imagining 'Hannibal,' depicting the iconic killer (Mads Mikkelsen) in his earlier days alongside FBI partner Will Graham. Yet for all its buzz, NBC seems hesitant to schedule out the 10-episode season's premiere, even as it heads into its mid-season lineup. What does the NBC president have to say about the scheduling of 'Hannibal,' and when might we finally get a chance to see it?
Certainly one of the more intriguing new series we've been keeping an eye on is that of A&E's forthcoming 'Psycho' prequel TV series 'Bates Motel,' re-imagined for the modern day with Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga as Norman Bates and his mother Norma, respectively. Previously the network has announced that the series would make its debut in March 2013, but how would you like to find out the official premiere date? Learn when you'll check into 'Bates Motel' inside!
A few weeks ago we heard that sitcom magnate, and 'Two and a Half Men, 'Mike & Molly' and 'The Big Bang Theory' creator Chuck Lorre was looking to get even deeper into the CBS pool, developing new female-centric sitcom 'Mom.' At the time it was thought that 'Mom's' development could mean the end of one of his other series, but now it seems all four might be on track. We've just learned acclaimed comedienne and Hollywood star Anna Faris has signed on to play the titular mother, but what's 'Mom' all about?
Regardless of any show-runner drama between 'Breaking Bad' creator Vince Gilligan and AMC, it's heart-breaking to think that 2013 will see the final eight episodes of 'Breaking Bad,' closing the door on a series that captivated fans and critics alike for years. We'd known the the final eight episodes would air sometime during the summer, as with the previous eight episodes in 2012, but when does 'Breaking Bad' officially kick off its final run? Learn when the final eight episodes of 'Breaking Bad' premiere inside!
'How I Met Your Mother' has faced quite a bit of turnaround in the last few weeks, not only culminating in a surprise proposal from mid-season finale "The Final Page," but also from the eleventh-hour news that the cast had very likely agreed to stay on for an additional ninth season. With a new wedding to plot and an additional season to map out, where will Robin and Barney head next when the series picks up in 2013? Show-runners Carter Bays and Craig Thomas reveal what's to come inside!
With streaming services becoming all the more the rage, along with new havens for original programming, we'd been hearing that Amazon would soon take the leap into developing its own content. But why choose for themselves what to produce? The internet marketplace juggernaut has greenlit 6 original pilots from various producers, including Kristen Schaal ('Bob's Burgers,' '30 Rock'), Kevin Sussman and John Ross Bowie ('The Big Bang Theory'), and your choice will determine which gets produced!
Soon Christmas 2012 will be all but a memory, and New Years nothing more than a champagne-soaked cautionary tale. So, what do do with our lives as we head into 2013? Why, prepare for the all new drama of a second year of 'Girls,' no less! HBO has delivered not one, but two new trailers for the second season of Lena Dunham's Judd Apatow-produced comedy, chock full of celebrity guest stars and more drama than ever. So, who's ready for a second helping of 'Girls?'
In addition to a number of television episodes from the likes of 'Haven' and 'Family Guy,' we weren't surprised to see that Discovery opted not to renew its firearm family series 'American Guns,' given the aftermath and national discourse raging from the terrible Sandy Hook Elementary massacre. Now, it seems another of Discovery's 2nd amendment series - Ted Nugent's 'Gun Country' - has been pulled from the network, but is it a reaction to last week's tragedy?
For as much as we've enjoyed Conan O'Brien's role as the host of his own TBS show 'Conan,' Jimmy Fallon's increasingly strong work on 'Late Night,' and even Jay Leno's seemingly peaceful return to 'The Tonight Show,' a new storm on the late-night front might be brewing. Some sources are saying that NBC executives have quietly begun searching for Fallon's replacement, in which case Fallon would take over for Leno as host of 'The Tonight Show' in the next few years. Is there any truth to the rumor?
These days, one of the surest ways to capitalize on an original blockbuster success is to develop a reality series inspired by its premise. We saw an example earlier this week with The CW putting into development a reality series with a striking similarity to 'The Hunger Games,' though this may be the most surprising example to date. Based on the runaway award-winning success of History's 'Hatfields & McCoys' the cable channel is going back to the well to develop a reality TV series around the descendants of the famous family. Will it be just as buzz-worthy?
Those who spend their youths crafting an image as teen heartthrobs often take darker, more daring roles in their adult years, if only to shed that more wholesome image. Well, what better place to shed a teen image than a pay-cable sizzler like Showtime's 'House of Lies?' As we approach the premiere of the show's second season, former 'The O.C.' star Adam Brody is the latest to join the cast, and his new role has quite a bit of buzz around it.
