Swat is coming to an end and before it does, there are five characters we want to see back! Sadly, one we would love to see back is confirmed as not available, so we've ruled her out.

Fans of Swat have twice gone through CBS announcing the show was being canceled. However, it looks like this time it’s for real, with the series planned to end in May with its eighth season. Thankfully, that’s given the producers time to craft a real finale, and hopefully, that means bringing back a few past faces.

The show has seen a few cast members come and go over the years and several deserve some closure. Sadly, it’s confirmed Rochelle Aytes won’t be able to reprise her role as Nichelle before the finale (due to her starring on Watson). There are also some other fun characters that would be good...

Una surrealista comedia familiar. © Apple TV+

Apple TV+ ha presentado el primer tráiler y póster de su nueva y surrealista comedia familiar Government Cheese, creada por Paul Hunter, director de videoclips musicales de Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake o Pharrell Williams, y Aeysha Carr (Brooklyn Nine-Nine).

Government Cheese se ambienta en 1969 en el valle californiano de San Fernando y cuenta la historia de los Chambers, una estrafalaria familia que persigue sueños muy grandes y aparentemente imposibles, maravillosamente liberada de las limitaciones del pensamiento realista. Cuando Hampton Chambers (Oyelowo) sale de la cárcel, su esperada reunión familiar no sale como había planeado. Durante su ausencia, su esposa Astoria (Missick) y sus hijos Einstein (Ellison) y Harrison (Di’Allo Winston) han formado una unidad familiar poco convencional, y el regreso de Hampton pone su mundo patas arriba.

The series is a surrealist family comedy set in 1969 San Fernando Valley that tells the story of the Chambers, a quirky family pursuing lofty and seemingly impossible dreams, beautifully unfettered by the realities of the world. When Hampton Chambers (Oyelowo) is released from prison, his long-awaited family reunion doesn’t go quite as he’d planned. During his absence, Hampton’s wife Astoria (Missick) and sons Einstein (Ellison) and Harrison (Di’Allo Winston) have formed an unconventional family unit, and Hampton’s return spins their world into chaos.

“Can one stone change the course of history?” So asks the first trailer for “House of David,” the new biblical drama series from Wonder Project creative leaders Jon Erwin (“Jesus Revolution”) and Jon Gunn (“Ordinary Angels”).

The forthcoming series stars newcomer Michael Iskander as David, the biblical hero and eventual King of Israel, as he prepares to take on the giant warrior known as Goliath (Martyn Ford). Along the way, David’s own profile starts to rise as he inches his way closer to becoming the renowned man of God he’s prophesied to be by Samuel the Prophet (Stephen Lang).

“House of David” will debut with a three-episode premiere on Prime Video in late February. You can watch the first full trailer for the show, below.

Iskander was cast as the titular lead in “House of David” following a global, four-month search undertaken by Erwin, Gunn and their collaborators.

Prime Video has revealed the official trailer and key art for its epic House of David series, which will premiere on February 27 with the first three episodes. One episode will debut weekly thereafter in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

It’s perhaps the greatest underdog story next to Rocky. Heck, it’s used as a phrase to describe a match-up that seems so unevenly matched. The David and Goliath tale is one of the most popular stories in the Bible. It tells of a normal man who went up against the fiercest warrior in the land in the biggest size difference imaginable. Amazon’s House of David is a series that will retell the story in eight epic episodes. Three episodes will premiere on February 27, with one episode weekly thereafter.

Sons of Anarchy features many characters who are both fan favorites but also irredeemable. Set in a world of crime and chaos, bad situations lead to even worse choices. Before anyone realizes, things are too far gone to be saved.

Shows with no redeemable characters have their own charm. They tend to tackle dark and forbidden topics like revenge, cannibalism and war. Many shows have irredeemable characters like Jax. They may have done one really bad thing, or they have done several over the course of the entire series. From House of the Dragon to Yellowjackets to Breaking Bad, these pitch-black and morally grey characters have caused fans to think about the damning choices they made.

As Breaking Bad's protagonist, Walter White is a sympathetic character, similar to Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy. However, throughout the course of the crime series,...

Stargate Sg-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe all had some jaw-dropping twists and turns. Beginning with the 1994 Stargate film, the franchise centers around ancient alien devices called Stargates that allow instantaneous travel across the galaxy. The first show in the franchise, Stargate Sg-1, picks up about a year after the events of the film and follows Colonel Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and his team as they investigate various alien planets. Sg-1 consists of ten television seasons and two films, making it one of the longest-running science fiction shows of all time.

In Sg-1 season 7, the team discovers an ancient outpost in Antarctica that eventually leads them to the site of the mythical lost city of Atlantis. Located in the distant Pegasus galaxy, this ancient alien city becomes the setting for Stargate: Atlantis, which follows a team as they explore new planets and alien civilizations. Both Sg-1 and Atlantis...

Sometimes, TV shows introduce characters who seem fundamental to the story, but it becomes clear that the writers aren't sure what to do with them after their initial storyline. The result is often that the TV show will repeat the same story many times, focusing on one character. Maybe said character will eventually be written out of the show when the actor or writers have had enough, but they may be needed for one particular future storyline.

Some TV show love interests that were suddenly dropped and great female TV characters that deserved better ended up in these circumstances because creativity had run out concerning their arcs. Great TV shows should effectively use all their characters, at least providing a reason for them to be shelved for a while if screen time is limited. However, it is hard to feel like some shows did not waste characters when they are...

It's not a controversial statement to say that Zack Snyder can be a polarizing filmmaker. His fans will defend him until they're blue in the face, while his detractors will liken him to cinematic cancer. Me? I'm more of a Snyder agnostic. I like some of his movies, I dislike others. But there's one positive thing I can say for sure: the man knows how to craft an image. Like many filmmakers of his generation, Snyder got his start in music videos, and that taught him how to create memorable, evocative imagery that looks, for lack of a better word, cool.

"Cool" seems to be Snyder's approach to his visuals in general — and you know what? He frequently succeeds. Even if you don't like the Snyder film you're watching, there's a good chance it'll still be loaded with cool images. Because of Snyder's penchant for visual fireworks, his movies often lend themselves to great trailers.

After taking a look back at House II: The Second Story (a favorite of mine since childhood), House of 1000 Corpses (which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year), the awesomeness of Tales from the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight, the leg smashing in the Stephen King adaptation Misery, three separate moments from John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China, and the “Jason vs. Tina” battle in Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, JoBlo’s own Lance Vlcek is continuing his The Best Scene video series with a look at the opening action of director Zack Snyder‘s 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake (watch it Here). This is when zombie hell breaks loose and Johnny Cash kicks in on the soundtrack. You can hear all about it in the video embedded above.

Directed by Snyder from a screenplay by James Gunn, the Dawn of the Dead remake has the...

The most hated Breaking Bad characters were those whose villainy surpassed Walter White's, while others were seen as distracting from the main story. Characters like Declan and Don Eladio earned the ire of viewers due to their arrogance and slimy behavior. Some fans couldn't get behind Walter White Jr. due to his one-dimensional portrayal and lack of satisfying resolution compared to other characters.

Walter White's shocking arc took him from mild-mannered family man to cold-blooded killer, but he was still not the most hated character in Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is one of the most acclaimed TV shows of all time, and its cast of characters ranks among the ensembles of the greatest crime sagas ever. Many of its characters have become TV icons, with fans loving them even with their complicated arcs. However, some of the characters are absolutely detested by the show's fanbase, making an interesting collection of...

In 2007, the "Saw" franchise took a very big swing with the aim of setting the movies up for years to come. Darren Lynn Bousman returned to the director's chair for the third time with "Saw IV," which aimed to move beyond Tobin Bell's John Kramer by giving Jigsaw a path forward without the man who started these twisted, bloody games in the first place. The film's ending not only offers one of the biggest twists in the entire series — but also one of the most important. Divorced of everything that came after, it was a big, bold, critical change in direction.

For those who may need a brief refresher, Bell plays the central figure of the films as John Kramer, aka Jigsaw, a man with incurable cancer who dedicates himself to "saving" people in a way that he sees fit. He selects people who are ungrateful for the life...

This month’s installment of Deep Cuts Rising features a variety of horror movies. Some selections reflect a specific day or event in March, and others were chosen at random.

Regardless of how they came to be here, or what they’re about, these past movies can generally be considered overlooked, forgotten or unknown.

From dinosaurs to a killer clown, here are five hidden horror gems and deep cuts that you can check out in March 2023.

The Fantasist (1986)

Directed by Robin Hardy.

Despite her family’s mixed reaction to her decision, Moira Harris‘ sheltered but curious character moves to Dublin to be a teacher. There she becomes the next target of a serial killer who gradually escalates from phone calls to murder. The protagonist of The Fantasist eventually suspects her pushy American neighbor (Timothy Bottoms) to be the culprit.

While best known for directing The Wicker Man, and to a lesser extent The Wicker Tree,...

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Wednesday’s “Riverdale,” titled “Citizen Lodge.”)

The CW’s “Riverdale” dove into the past of its biggest bad, Hiram Lodge (Mark Consuelos), this week with a long-awaited origin story for the villain to explain, well, why he’s such a villain. For this special installment, Mark Consuelos’ real-life son, Michael Consuelos, reprised his role as Young Hiram, which he first took on for the Season 3 episode “The Midnight Club.”

The episode, titled “Citizen Lodge” sees present-day Hiram tell Reggie (Charles Melton) the story of his youth, flashing back to the days when young Hiram was Jaime Luna (Michael Consuelos) and his father, Javier (played by Mark Consuelos) moved the family to Riverdale in search of the precious metal palladium.

See TheWrap’s discussion with Michael Consuelos about taking on the role again and what it was like to work with his father this time around.

Introducing Mark Consuelos in the role of best cheerleader! After much anticipation, Michael Consuelos is returning to Riverdale on Wednesday, Aug. 18. This time, he's sharing the small screen with his dad in a special episode both parties won't soon forget.

Alec Baldwin and 11 Other Actors Who’ve Played Donald Trump on Screen (Photos)

Phil Hartman, “Saturday Night Live” (1988-1990)

Long before Alec Baldwin donned a blond wig, the late Phil Hartman played Donald Trump in a series of sketches. The first mocked Donald and Ivana Trump (Jan Hooks) as out-of-touch rich people at Christmas-time, while later skits depicted the couple’s tabloid divorce.

Darrell Hammond, “Saturday Night Live” (1999-2011)
