Exclusive: Robert Patrick (1923) and Beau Knapp (Seal Team) have joined the series regular cast of Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ series Tulsa King for Season 3. Production is currently underway on the Sylvester Stallone-led drama in Atlanta and Oklahoma.

Tulsa King follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone), just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a “crew” from a group of unlikely characters to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.

Season 2 followed Dwight and his crew as they encountered new enemies when they encroached on nemesis territory in Tulsa.

Patrick will play ‘Jeremiah Dunmire’, a powerful, forceful man with deep pockets in the liquor business.

Paramount+ with Showtime today announced that David Zayas, Jack Alcott and James Remar have been cast in the new Showtime® original drama series Dexter®: Resurrection, starring SAG and Golden Globe winner Michael C.

“Dexter: Resurrection” is bringing three franchise veterans into the fold.

David Zayas, James Remar, and Jack Alcott have all been cast in series regular roles in the upcoming Paramount+ with Showtime drama. They will now appear alongside Michael C. Hall, who will reprise the role of Dexter Morgan.

Zayas will once again play Det. Angel Batista, while Remar will play Harry Morgan, the roles they played in the original “Dexter.” Alcott will play Harrison Morgan, Dexter’s son, who first appeared in the sequel series “Dexter: New Blood” in 2021.

Production on “Dexter: Resurrection” is set to begin in January with a planned debut in the summer. No specific plot details are available for “Resurrection,” but the series will serve as a direct followup to “New Blood.”

In addition to his role in “Dexter,” Remar is known for his work in shows like “Sex and the City” and “City on a Hill.

Exclusive: David Zayas, Jack Alcott and James Remar will join Michael C. Hall in the Paramount+ with Showtime Original series Dexter: Resurrection in series regular roles. Production begins on the new series this month and will premiere in the summer.

Zayas and Remar will return to the roles they made famous in the mothership series, Detective Angel Batista and Harry Morgan, Dexter’s father, respectively. Alcott will play Dexter’s son, Harrison Morgan, who he originally portrayed in Dexter: New Blood, the original series’ sequel that launched in 2021.

How Remar will return on a series regular basis will be interesting to see considering his character has been dead for quite some time. However, with Dexter: New Blood bleeding (pun not intended) into Dexter: Original Sin via the latter’s premiere, that might be a way in.

The Western genre may not be as popular as it once was, especially on television, but that doesn't mean there aren't great stories still being told on the medium. Popular Western shows like Deadwood and Justified were consistently thrilling and garnered many fans in the process. On the other hand, there are stellar Western shows that have fallen under the radar because they only lasted one season.

Whether because of low ratings, an inability to find a larger audience or the narrative told everything it needed to, these series were axed after their sole season. Regardless if the shows originated in the modern era or before the 21st century, they remain a welcoming treat for Western genre fans. From cult classics like Firefly to underrated miniseries like The Good Lord Bird, these Western shows provided amazing storytelling in a single season.

When horror fans pick up The Black Phone 2 in October 2025, they will meet a handful of old and new characters. The last time fans saw The Grabber (Ethan Hawke) stalking the streets in The Black Phone, it appeared as though young Finney (Mason Thames) subdued the sinister villain. Alas, with Hawke set to return for director Scott Derrickson in the upcoming sequel, Finney will have to figure out another way to prevent The Grabber from preying on more children.

In addition to Hawke and Thames, returning characters join a crop of newcomers in The Black Phone 2, with more casting news sure to come out between now and next Halloween. With The Black Phone slated for a release on October 17, 2025, it's time to meet the cast, the characters they play, and where fans have seen them on the big and small screen.

Jaden Smith’s rise to fame came fast. At just 8, he starred alongside Will in The Pursuit of Happyness, kicking off his Hollywood career. By 2008, he was solidifying his star power in The Day the Earth Stood Still, and by 2010, he was front and center in The Karate Kid with Jackie Chan. His role in After Earth in 2013 was another highlight, but then, Jaden pulled back—he was ready to shift focus to music.

By 2014, after The Good Lord Bird, Jaden hit pause on acting to dive into his true passion: music. He dropped his debut mixtape, The Cool Tape, following his early collaboration with Justin Bieber on Never Say Never. It wasn’t just a career move—it was Jaden finding his voice and stepping out of his parents’ shadow to make his mark as a musician.

Ever since Sinister revitalized his career in mainstream studio films in 2012, Ethan Hawke has taken art in quite a wide array of projects, not just in acting, but even writing, producing, and directing. In that time, he earned two more Oscar nominations, directed his daughter Maya Hawke in the biopic drama Wildcat, and even joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a role in the miniseries Moon Knight. He's also taken on quite an interest in the Western genre, starring in such titles as In a Valley of Violence, the Showtime miniseries The Good Lord Bird, and even the 2016 remake of The Magnificent Seven. There was another western he starred in, however, that tragically has gotten more overlooked than it deserves to be.

Ethan Hawke and Sterlin Harjo’s FX drama pilot has been ordered to series at FX, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

The pilot was originally commissioned in February under the title “The Sensitive Kind” with Hawke in the lead role. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps aside from the fact it is described as a “Tulsa noir about a guy (Hawke) who knows too much.”

FX declined to comment.

The pilot was filmed in Oklahoma back in April and May.

Daveed Diggs is joining the world of “The Boys” as a series regular in Prime Video series’ fifth and final season. Details on Diggs’ role are being kept under wraps.

Based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel series where the superheroes are the bad guys, “The Boys” is set in a world in which a substance can turn people into superheroes. As such, a legion of corporate-backed celebrity supes enacts their own sense of justice while posing for cameras and covertly doing wet work for the government — kind of like an evil Avengers. The show follows a group of regular humans who work to bring the superheroes down.

“The Boys” is executive produced by Ennis, Robertson, showrunner Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Phil Sgriccia, Michaela Starr, Paul Grellong, David Reed, Judalina Neira, Jessica Chou, Ken F. Levin and Jason Netter.

Daveed Diggs has been cast in the fifth and final season of “The Boys,” Variety has learned.

It was announced in June that “The Boys” would be ending with Season 5. Exact character details are being kept under wraps, but Diggs will appear in a series regular role in the Amazon Prime Video series. He will appear alongside returning cast members Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit and Cameron Crovetti.

Diggs is best known for originating the dual roles of Thomas Jefferson and Marquis de Lafayette in the smash hit Broadway musical “Hamilton,” for which he won a Tony Award in 2016. Onscreen, he recently starred in the series adaptation of “Snowpiercer” and played Frederick Douglass in the Showtime limited series “The Good Lord Bird.” He has also lent his voice to animated shows like “Central Park,...

In 2015, “Game of Thrones” set a record for winning the most Primetime Emmy Awards for a drama series in a single year, with 12. The HBO juggernaut was able to repeat that feat in 2016 and 2019, but was never able to win more than a dozen trophies in one season. This year, a brand new series from FX looks poised to break that record, as “Shōgun” leads all contenders with 25 nominations.

“Shōgun,” based on James Clavell’s bestselling novel, is set in Japan in the year 1600, at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him, when a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village. The FX series created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks premiered on February 27, 2024 and the season finale aired April 23, 2024. It is currently available to stream on Hulu.

Exclusive: Blumhouse Television is “betting on itself” after buying back the 45% stake that it sold to ITV in 2017.

Jason Blum’s company struck a deal with ITV Studios, the production arm of the British broadcaster, to launch Blumhouse Television seven years ago.

It has now bought back this stake and is going back to being independent with Blumhouse Television being integrated under its parent company, Blumhouse.

"The Night of the Hunter" follows Harry Powell, a faux-preacher, and misogynistic serial killer, in the 1930s Ohio River Valley. After Powell is arrested for stealing a car (from one of his brides-turned-victims), his cellmate is Ben Harper, who's on death row for armed robbery/homicide.

Ethan Hawke's portrayal of militant abolitionist John Brown in The Good Lord Bird is a quite impressive for several reasons. He is loud, commanding, and imbued with a sense of righteousness we haven't seen as much in Hawke's previous roles. The intensity of his performance stands apart from his most recent appearance as the kindly father in Netflix's Leave the World Behind, a more mellowed out, live-and-let-live character. He is as far as can be from the reserved yet deeply psychotic masked murderer he plays in The Black Phone, where his indifference to life and self-deluded hatred stand in marked contrast from the wild and deeply moral abolitionist in Showtime's Western series.

Filming locations for the biopic Harriet were carefully chosen to recreate the 19th-century American East Coast, with Virginia serving as the backdrop for various scenes. Three Lakes Park in Henrico, Virginia, provided the perfect setting for forest scenes in the film, including Tubman guiding enslaved people on the Underground Railroad and scouting for the Union Army. The historical Berkeley Plantation in Charles City, Virginia, was used as the exterior of Senator William Seward's New York home in the film, highlighting its relevance to the story and its involvement in the Civil War.

The 2019 biopic Harriet tells the story of abolitionist Harriet Tubman, and, picking up in 1849 Maryland, filmmakers had to get creative with the project's filming locations. The scenery throughout the film needed to believably look like the 19th-century American East Coast, which meant utilizing modern locations that looked to be pulled straight out of history.

Israel was most recently the head of scripted for Showtime, though it was announced in September she would be stepping down from that role by year’s end. In her new role, Israel will oversee all of North Road’s scripted television development and production. The role reunites her with fellow Showtime alum David Nevins, who currently serves as North Road’s CEO and to whom Israel will report.

“Amy is among the best in the business, the driving force behind a long list of the most impactful shows in our time,” Nevins said. “I know first-hand the value of her unique combination of creative leadership and producorial drive, and I am fully confident she will make a fantastic addition to North Road’s leadership and the ongoing expansion of our industry-leading content portfolio.

Israel’s formal title is executive vice president of global programming. She will remain with Showtime through the end of the year in a transitional role. The announcement of her departure was made by Paramount’s Chris McCarthy and Nina L. Diaz.

“For the past 12 years, Amy has been an integral part of the creative team and the driving force behind some of Showtime’s most iconic franchises,” McCarthy and Diaz wrote in a memo to their staff. “From the beloved ‘Billions’ to the bold hit ‘Yellowjackets,’ Amy’s love for mentoring staff as well as her ability to nurture and foster talent toward realizing their vision is nothing short of inspiring. Her instrumental role in bringing upcoming, fresh and groundbreaking series like ‘The Curse’ and ‘Fellow Travelers’ to life is a testament to her unwavering dedication and devotion.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Reservation Dogs season 3 episode 9.

Ethan Hawke appeared as Elora's father Rick on the most recent episode of Reservation Dogs. The casting director of Reservation Dogs reveals that getting Hawke for a major cameo in season 3 was a surprisingly easy process. Hawke was already interested in working with the show's co-creator Sterlin Harjo.

The casting director for Reservation Dogs explains how they got their most recent major cameo. The series, which premiered in 2021, follows teens from the Muscogee Nation who live in small-town Oklahoma. After Elora (Devery Jacobs) learned that her father Rick was alive at the beginning of season 3, the episodes have built toward a potential reunion that came to pass in the most recent episode, "Elora's Dad." All that buildup led to a huge cameo, as it turns out Rick is played by Before Sunrise and The Black Phone star Ethan Hawke.

Outside of the United States, the Middle East, and Israel, the show will be available to watch on Amazon Prime Video. And with just over a month to go before the show starts airing, a full trailer has arrived online. Check it out in the embed above!

Colin Woodell (The Flight Attendant) takes on the role of a younger Winston in The Continental, and throughout the series, viewers will follow Winston through the underworld of ’70s New York, where he will battle demons from his past as he attempts to seize control of the iconic hotel – a hotel that serves as a meeting point for the world’s most dangerous criminals.

A young Winston Scott lands in the crosshairs of many “freak”-y assassins in the action-packed official trailer for Peacock’s John Wick prequel miniseries, The Continental: From the World of John Wick.

The trailer also offers a new peek (shown above) at Supergirl alum Katie McGrath’s enigmatic, masked character, The Adjudicator — who at one point remarks on a “lovely” development (for those confounded by the headline above), and who can also be seen in a brand-new photo, below.

Academy Award winner and controversial Hollywood superstar Mel Gibson will soon the world of John Wick in the upcoming prequel series, The Continental: From the World of John Wick. Now, Gibson has discussed joining the project and revealed several details regarding his character, the ruthless criminal kingpin, Cormac in an interview done ahead of the SAG-AFTRA strike.

“He's kind of like [Winston and Charon’s] mentor, or actually, mentor or tormentor, I'm not sure which. But he's rather a nefarious character who's like a father figure to them, and they perceive him that way when they're young, but as they grow and begin to analyse who he really is, they realise he's probably not the father figure he pretends to be. He's pretty selfish in his own motives, and has used them in an ill way, and I think they're burned by that and they want to get even. Rightly so.”

Described as “an intimidating force,...

Josh Duhamel will join the ensemble of the survival thriller “Not Without Hope,” an adaptation of Nick Schuyler and Jere Longman’s best-selling book that will be written and directed by Joe Carnahan. Also joining the cast are JoBeth Williams, Quentin Plair, Terrence Terrell and Marshall Cook.

As previously announced, Zachary Levi (“Shazam!”) is starring in the film, which tells the real-life story of a tragic 2009 boating accident involving Schuyler, his friends Will Bleakley (Cook) and NFL players Marquis Cooper (Plair) and Corey Smith (Terrell). Levi will play Schuyler.

The search-and rescue-operation captivated national attention. Duhamel will portray U.S. Coast Guard Captain Timothy Close, who oversaw a crew that cut through the ocean to try to find the friends who went missing. Carnahan has some experience orchestrating survival tales, having previously directed “The Grey,” which found Liam Neeson battling very hungry wolves after a plane crash stranded his character in a snowy mountain range.

Peacock’s unveiled the first photos from the John Wick prequel The Continental: From the World of John Wick which premieres in September 2023. The three-part event series focuses on the history of The Continental and its involvement in the secret world of assassins, as well as delving into the backstories of Winston Scott and Charon.

Per Peacock: “The three-part event will explore the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the John Wick universe through the eyes and actions of a young Winston Scott, as he’s dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970’s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind. Winston charts a deadly course through the hotel’s mysterious underworld in a harrowing attempt to seize the hotel where he will eventually take his future throne.”

Colin Woodell plays the younger version of Ian McShane’s Winston Scott, and Ayomide Adegun stars as the young Charon,...

Westerns have a rich history in television that date all the way back to when the devices first became popular in America. There have been many beloved interpretations of this mythic genre, whether it's an old classic like Gunsmoke, the grit and grime of Deadwood, or more modern takes like in Yellowstone. No matter what it is, cowboys and gunslingers have always found a home on the small screen.

Another exceptional Western series that has been released within the last few years is The Good Lord Bird. Adapted from the book of the same name, it tells the embellished story of the controversial historical figure John Brown from the perspective of an escaped slave boy, which shows the events that would lead to John Brown's eventual downfall. Despite being met with great critical acclaim, the series has been criminally neglected and may be lost to time before long. Here are...
