16 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
We have an airdate for the musical episodes of The CW’s “The Flash” and “Supergirl”: The tuneful crossover will begin at the end of the Mar. 20 episode of “Supergirl,” but the main vocal action will take place in the Mar. 21 episode of “The Flash.”
That episode, entitled “Duet,” will be directed by Dermott Downs and will feature singing performances from Grant Gustin, Melissa Benoist, Jesse L. Martin, Victor Garber, Carlos Valdes, Jeremy Jordan, and John Barrowman. David Harewood and Chris Wood will have non-singing guest appearances in the episode.
News of the musical episode broke last August. There’s no word yet if, as executive producer Greg Berlanti had previously indicated, the episodes will both feature one original song.
Leads Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist both belted out various tunes on “Glee,” and the casts are also stacked with Broadway vets: Garber was part of the original casts of “Sweeney Todd” and “Assassins” and has »

While the eyes of the country are on Washington, D.C., for the presidential inauguration, “House of Cards” announced the date for yet another transition of power: the premiere of Season 5.
With a post on Twitter, the Netflix drama revealed that the DC-set drama will return May 30.

The line is a recall of the quote from the season finale, when president Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) said, “We don’t submit to terror. We make the terror.” His wife, Claire (Robin Wright), subsequently broke the fourth wall for the first time. The two have been each other’s strongest allies, but »

The Johnson family may soon be taking up more airtime on ABC.
The network is considering a spin-off of its hit comedy “Black-ish,” Variety has confirmed.

The spinoff, which is in very early stages, would be introduced as a backdoor pilot this spring. Sources stress that this is early development and nothing has been officially ordered yet.

Hawaii Five-0 Review: Sacred Land

If there were ever a time for a lesson in respect and diplomacy, this would be it. Hawaii Five-0 takes that lesson very personally as one of the last states which created the United States. Just because Hawaii is apart of the United States, doesn’t mean all of its islands and lands fall under its sovereignty. Protecting both lands requires mutual respect and cooperation. The stakes only get higher when chasing a murder suspect. Running around all over different parts of the island chasing murder suspects requires a lot of driving. 7 years of high speed car chases, the first

I have said, via social media, that it would be great if Sleepy Hollow could get back to its Season One glory. Tonight’s episode shows that it’s on the right track. Though with thirteen episodes (according to Wikipedia), it’s hard to tell whether it will withstand the test of time. Aside from that, let’s get on with the review, shall we? The hour began with Ichabod going apartment hunting. The place doesn’t seem to live up to the newspaper listing, but nothing ever is. Ichabod ended up taking the apartment after Jake said that the rent is cheaper than the

Joy Reid To Trevor Noah: Media Must Study Vladimir Putin’s Authoritarian Regime To Cover President Trump

Donald Trump has cast himself as the only person who can rescue us “from this hellscape created by you and me,” MSNBC’s Joy Reid told The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, describing Trump’s inaugural address hours earlier. Trump’s post-truth world, she said, has to change the way the press does its job, Reid said. “Journalists are accustomed to, when the president says something…you just report it.

Chicago P.D. Review: The Present Day Complications of Church and State

Disputes between church and state date back to before humans could legibly write. Wars have waged across different religions in different countries in different centuries. One steadfast rule has been in place for hundreds of years because of the violence-Sanctuary. It’s not always upheld, but it still exists for a reason. Churches are safe havens for those who have nowhere else to go, though it is at the discretion of its priests. In the case Chicago P.D. has to deal with, there’s a fine line between saving a soul and destroying one. There also needs to be a clear divide between

Emerald City continues to exceed my expectations. This week in “Science and Magic” we met our Tin Man, and a powerful little girl. Emerald City is dark, but so fun. Several times tonight I yelled at the television. I had to look away during the scene with the little girl shaking alone in the house. I am especially interested in her and how she ties back to the original movie, The Wizard of Oz. I can’t wait to see how the writers reveal her part of the story. Dorothy and Lucas also officially began their romantic relationship, only to separate

Donald Trump used a photo from President Obama’s first — and far better-attended — inauguration for the header image on his newly established official presidential Twitter account today. (The image quietly was removed once it was pointed out, and mocked ruthlessly.) But it wasn’t the only thing Trump apparently took from Obama without attribution: An uncertain — but counting at least in the hundreds of thousands — number of Twitter users found themselves following the… »

7 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
ABC has given the green light to the pilot for Diablo Cody and Greg Berlanti’s “Raised By Wolves.” The half-hour comedy is based on the British series of the same name.
The pilot, written by Cody, centers on Sheila Gable, a single parent and one tough mother.

The project comes from Warner Bros.-based Berlanti Prods., with Cody, Berlanti and Sarah Schecter serving as executive producers. Cody is also co-creator with Tig Notaro on Amazon’s “One Mississippi.”
This is the second pilot for Berlanti at ABC; the first, “Deception,” was ordered Thursday. But while “Deception” is a drama and the company also has the considered-a-sure-thing “Black Lightning” in the works, Berlanti »
