CBS is developing a drama series based on the DC Comics property “Secret Six,” Variety has learned.

The project, which has received a pilot production commitment at the network, follows six morally ambiguous strangers, each with their own unique specialties and secret pasts. They are brought together by an enigmatic figure who blackmails them into working as a team to expose the corruption of the corporate and political elite.

Various DC Comics characters have been members of the Secret Six over the years, including Bane, Harley Quinn, Lex Luthor, the Mad Hatter, and the Penguin. There is no word yet, however, on which characters would appear in the series.

Rick Muirragui will write and executive produce, with Bill Lawrence and Jeff Ingold executive producing via Doozer Productions. Warner Bros. Television, where Doozer is under an overall deal, will produce.

Muirragui most recently worked as a co-executive producer and writer on

The series is currently titled “I Just Do” and is inspired by Spencer’s comedy.

Academy Award-nominated actor James Cromwell has a ticket to board the third season of the Epix spy series Berlin Station, which premieres December 3.

Cromwell joins in a recurring guest role as Gilbert Dorn, a former CIA legend put out to pasture who appears on a podcast revealing information about past missions. Season three of Berlin Station is currently in production in Budapest and takes place over the course of 11 days in Eastern and Central Europe as Chief of Station Valerie Edwards (Michelle Forbes) guides her team through the high-stakes relationship between Russia, the United States and its vulnerable Nato allies.

Showtime has renewed the Jim Carrey comedy “Kidding” for a second season.

The series has drawn strong reviews since its debut on Sept. 9. Carrey plays a famed children’s show host facing a mid-life crisis. Dave Holstein created the series and is exec producer and showrunner with Carrey, Michael Aguilar, Roberto Benabib, Raffi Adlan, Jason Bateman and Jim Garavente.

Just what the doctor ordered. The Peacock Network has issued its first full-season pickup for a new drama. NBC has expanded its season one order for its New Amsterdam TV show to 22 episodes. The series premiered on September 25, 2018, and episode three just aired last night, but so far, it has made a strong showing in the Nielsen ratings.

An NBC medical drama, New Amsterdam stars Ryan Eggold, Freema Agyeman, Janet Montgomery, Jocko Sims, Anupam Kher, and Tyler Labine. It centers on Doctor Max Goodwin (Eggold), a caring and charming physician whose goal is to fix a broken medical system and to provide exceptional care to the people who need it most. He inspires (almost) everyone around him, and will stop at nothing to breathe new life into the understaffed, under-funded and under-appreciated New Amsterdam Hospital. Read More…

McCay appeared on scores of TV shows throughout her decades-long career.

Madrid — Erik Barmack, Netflix vice president, international originals, sits on a sofa in an elegant, but discreet, uptown Madrid hotel. He looks rather tired, which he should do. The night before saw the premiere of “Elite,” Netflix’s newest Spanish original series, a murder thriller set at a posh co-ed high school plumbing the depths of adolescent insecurities and Spain’s gaping social divide. Self-respecting Spaniards party until other people are getting up.

Barmack also has, however, one of the most demanding jobs at Netflix: Overseeing its ramp-up of original series outside the U.S. This has been a rapid revolution.

American Horror Story: Apocalypse‘s brewing battle of the hexes — sorry, sexes — reached new heights on Wednesday when Cordelia reluctantly agreed to administer the Seven Wonders test on Michael. But when her gamble proved too successful, dark secrets about the would-be first male Supreme began to surface, setting the stage for the actual apocalypse.

Following a disturbing vision of the future — complete with flesh-eating zombies and a white-faced demon — Cordelia feared that her arrogance, her unwillingness to believe that a man is capable of Supremacy, would make that vision a reality. The viewers, of course, knew this to be nonsense,

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Boy Wonder,” the fifth episode of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse.”

Another “Coven” witch was resurrected, and the “White Witch” aka Stevie Nicks appeared in the fifth episode of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” — and it was all because Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) allowed Michael Langdon (Cody Fern) to take the test of the Seven Wonders.

Last week’s episode of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” was almost entirely a flashback to how Michael came to be a part of a coven of warlocks — who apparently have been regarded as lesser beings than

Chicago P.D. didn’t waste any time unmasking its big romantic twist during Wednesday’s episode, which opens with Hailey in bed… with a naked Ruzek! (Looks like that drink last week following Jay’s near-death incident led to more than just a hangover.)

“So… how do you want to play this?” Ruzek asks as he attempts to find his pants.

“Low-key,” Hailey replies. As in, don’t say anything to anyone because nothing happened. But that nothing was “pretty fun,” Ruzek notes. Hailey agrees, although it

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for “A Million Little Things” Episode 3, “Save the Date.”]

“A Million Little Things” creator and executive producer D.J. Nash knew he was taking a chance when he introduced the character of Katherine (Grace Park) as a cold workaholic. “When I was talking to Grace about this role, I said, ‘In the pilot, we’re not going to understand her. But in Episode 3 we will.’”

That risky investment paid off in Wednesday’s episode when it produced the opportunity to create unexpected empathy for both parties, especially Delilah (Stephanie Szostak), otherwise known as the mistress of Katherine’s husband Eddie (David Giuntoli). Furthermore, Katherine upends the scorned-woman trope when – instead of devolving into a vengeful caricature – she has a calm and heartfelt conversation with Delilah, who also happens to be her friend. The women are reeling from the affair’s sudden discovery, but they’re also grief-stricken from the suicide of

Safe to say, A Million Little Things‘ Delilah Dixon has had better weeks.

Remember (as if the show would let you forget!), we’re not that far out from her husband’s suicide. As a result of that terrible event, she ended an affair with the man she loves. And the petals have barely fallen off Jon’s funeral flowers when the secret of her tryst with Eddie becomes public knowledge in this Wednesday’s episode.

The fallout is as painful to watch as you might’ve guessed.

Many a Trekkie would likely recognize Nana Visitor as one of their favorite parts of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. She was a rather endearing character for many and while those that didn’t watch the show or don’t like Star Trek might not know her from there she’s appeared in many other shows as well during her career. She’s played many different kinds of roles and doesn’t generally get typecast as just one type of person or another, showing that she has a range that’s actually very impressive and able to paint her as a rather skilled individual that can

Do you have a Friday Night Lights-sized hole in your DVR? The O.C.-sized, perhaps? Maybe even 90210-sized?

The CW on Wednesday set out to fill all of those gaps with the debut of All American, its football-centric series that has echoes of multiple circa-2000s teen dramas. But did the first episode score enough points with you? Before you give us your thoughts on the premiere, let’s recap what went down in Episode 1:

Speaking from a personal standpoint and definitely on board with some folks I really hope to never see another Bourne movie come out again, but the likelihood isn’t diminished to nothing just yet. Already Matt Damon and a few others are stating that they’d be on board with another film if only to close out the story finally. Though honestly it seems that any one of the movies could have done this and put a nice cap on it without having to keep going and possibly sacrifice the fanbase in the process. The Bourne Legacy was a hard pill to
