Exclusive: History Channel is getting back outdoors.

The A+E Networks-owned cable channel has greenlighted Hunting History with Steven Rinella.

Set to premiere on Tuesday, January 28, the eight-part series is hosted and exec produced by Rinella, who was previously the host of MeatEater, a series that started on the Sportsman Channel before moving to Netflix in 2018.

Hunting History dives into some of American history’s greatest and most perplexing mysteries through a new lens.

Rinella brings his expert skills as a survivalist to trace what were thought to be untraceable steps and reveal new evidence along the way. He teams up with historians, archaeologists, and a cast of outdoor professionals as he takes viewers on an immersive journey, per the network. Throughout the series, Rinella hunts for answers to questions that have long baffled experts, including: what happened to the lost colony of Roanoke? Did skyjacker D.B. Cooper survive his famous jump?...

The Mountain Men series on the History Channel doesn't just spotlight outdoor survival, it cranks it up and shows viewers what it's like to truly live off the land in the remote wilderness. Marty Meierotto treks into Alaska's frozen wilderness and serves as a perfect example of the show's unpredictable nature. Not only does he set up traplines in the bitter cold, but he also flies his own plane over treacherous terrain to reach his remote cabin and often faces brutal odds while he's at it. Jake Herak's life in Montana revolves around keeping predators grizzlies and mountain lions at bay as he hunts alongside his pack of hounds.

Inga Swenson, the versatile actress best known for memorable portrayals of combative women on the TV hits Soap and Benson, has died. Her son confirmed the news to TMZ. Swenson was 90.

Swenson’s involvement on the shows began with a multi-episode arc on Soap in 1978 as the conniving revenge-seeking Ingrid Svenson, the Swedish birth mother of Corinne Tate (Diana Canova). That led to a new role on the show’s spinoff, Benson, as Gretchen Kraus, an autocratic and combative German cook.

Over the course of the latter Swenson’s character was frequently at odds with Benson (Robert Guillaume) himself, often trading insults with him as he sought to run household affairs for Governor Eugene X. Gatling (James Noble). Despite their rivalry, Benson and Kraus later became close friends on the show. Swenson was Emmy nominated three times for the role, in 1980, 1982 and 1985.

A year before her first TV credit – an...

Let’s face it: Most horror made for TV isn’t really scary, is it? I mean, we talk about these shows or movies frightening us as kids, but we could say the same about watching a PG rated flick that contains a few good jolts or disturbing themes. The bottom line is a lot of things scare us as children, including real life. And every once in awhile, someone will come strutting along and boast of a TV movie from their youth that they insist is genuinely scary. And when they say genuine, they mean that it still casts a spell today, unvarnished by time. Well, having finally seen it for the first time, I can say that Don’t Go To Sleep (1982) fits the bill, offering up a few for real scares, a sense of unease, a clever teleplay, and an ending that’s still sticking to me like unwanted psychic residue.

The pieces are finally all coming together as The 100 prepares itself for another season finale conflict. This time, Clarke (Eliza Taylor) and her friends are once again fighting to survive, but they’re packing a different kind of heat. Yes, they do still have fire power to even the odds, but they have so much more than that – they have backup.

Last season we watched as the remaining members of the 100 took a stand against their bullies and against all odds, come out victorious (if that’s what you call living through the ordeal). The story arc came to a crashing halt though when the Mountain Men stepped in and commandeered their victory before anyone had a chance to celebrate. Before you knew it (or, more aptly, after an excruciating summer hiatus), fans were thrown into a complex new world where the Grounders were the least of everyone’s concerns.

The 100, Season 2, Episode 9, “Remember Me”

Written by Dorothy Fortenberry

Directed by Omar Madha

Airs Wednesdays at 9pm Est on The CW

On this week’s The 100, Clarke is haunted by visions of Finn, the Grounders accuse Raven of attempting to assassinate their leader, Abby tries to soothe Clarke’s grief, and Monty gets caught by the Mountain Men.

“Remember Me” may be about the Sky People’s shaky peace treaty with the Grounders in plot, but in spirit, it’s wholeheartedly an episode about Clarke struggling with the grief of killing Finn, as well as the harsh decisions the leaders–particularly women–on this show have to make on a regular basis. As Abby notes, and as Clarke seems to realize, all of these leaders’ lives mirror one another; they have the same goals, they have to make the same decisions, and they have the same pressure put...

The Mountain Men have done a lot of terrible things to the Grounders, but none worse than when they turned beautiful Lincoln into a Reaper. Last week, in "Fog of War," Octavia and Bellamy found and captured the flesh-eating version of Lincoln. Bellamy promised to take him "home" and fix him. It turns out that home to these kids is the Dropship, where they bring their leader to help. Check out the exclusive clip to see how Clarke reacts to seeing Lincoln—and what the Mountain Men can truly do.

Last week's episode of The 100, "Reapercussions," showed former enemies Clarke (Eliza Taylor) and Anya (Dichen Lachman) reluctantly teaming up to escape Mount Weather. They "worked together" right up until Anya whacked Clarke over the head with a rock. In this exclusive clip from Wednesday's episode, the duo is still on the run together—although Clarke is now Anya's prisoner. To avoid detection, they have to go full Walking Dead and cover their scent, which leads to even more questions about The Mountain Men. Sure, last week Anya said she's going to give Clarke over as a "prize" to her people,...

The 100 battle ended with massive fatalities after a blazing ring of fire burst out from under the dropship to kill all those outside, including potentially Bellamy and Finn. In space, Jaha sacrificed himself to save others on the Ark and it wasn't in vain when Abby and Kane's segment successfully landed on the ground.

As shocking as those moments were, they weren't the biggest jaw-dropping ones of the season finale. The Mountain Men showed up at the end of the battle and Clarke woke up in a White Room at Mount Weather with Monty.
