Ten years ago, writer/director Jason Krawczyk brought the world the horror comedy He Never Died, which introduced viewers to a badass immortal character named Jack (played by Henry Rollins), who had been around for thousands of years. The follow-ups planned for that film haven’t made it into production, but now, Krawczyk is back with the action comedy Don’t Mess with Grandma (which was filmed under the title Sunset Superman), starring Michael Jai White. I had the chance to watch the movie several months ago and had a lot of fun with it (you can read my 8/10 review at This Link), and a larger audience will have the opportunity to enjoy it when it reaches the free streaming service Tubi on January 24th!

Don’t Mess with Grandma shows us what happens when a drunk Army ranger must fight off the vicious robbers who plan to loot the cabin belonging to his sweet,...

Agatha All Along brought a fun, spooky, witchy atmosphere to Marvels slate, leaving many fans wanting more. Watching Agatha Harkness form a coven that bonds almost against its will was beautifully compelling storytelling, the likes of which can also be found in other similar series, and the Agatha All Along characters having so much growth in just eight episodes is impressive. For any viewers of Agatha All Along whose chief complaint is that they wanted more time below Westview, there is a little-known supernatural drama, Motherland: Fort Salem, that provides the perfect substitute.

Motherland: Fort Salem is an alternative history of America where witchcraft is real. The entire U.S. Army consists of witches, headquartered at Fort Salem in Massachusetts. Motherland: Fort Salem's main characters are a unit of three newly conscripted witches, each has her own opinion on the honor of serving in the armed forces. Like Agatha All Along,...

These shows and movies may help you move past the sadness from missing Agatha and your other favorite witches.

Agatha Harkness’s journey down the Witches’ Road has come to a close. Whether or not she achieved her goals at the end is a spoiler I won’t divulge here, but it’s safe to say that “Agatha All Along” has aired its season — and perhaps series — finale as of Wednesday, Oct. 30. If you’re left feeling a little empty and lost as to what to stream next, fear not! I’ve got a list of four TV shows and movies to try and satisfy that witchy itch.

Bad Genius is an edge-of-your-seat new thriller that follows Lynn, a brilliant scholarship student, who devises an ingenious cheating scheme to help her friends ace their exams. However, things soon spiral out of control and you won't be able to tear your eyes away from the screen.

The movie stars Callina Liang (Presence), Benedict Wong (Avengers: Endgame), Jabari Banks (Bel-Air), and Taylor Hickson (Motherland: Fort Salem), and is written by Julius Onah (Captain America: Brave New World) and J.C. Lee (The Morning Show). The latter also directs.

We recently got to sit down with Callina and Jabari to learn more about their roles as Lynn and Bank, the dynamic between their characters, what it was like working with Benedict Wong, and why they were so excited to be part of such a unique thriller.

Exclusive: Vertical has acquired North American rights to Bad Genius, an English-language remake of the same-name Thai thriller, from Picturestart, Picture Perfect Federation, and Little Ray Media. Marking the directorial debut of J.C. Lee, a veteran producer whose credits include The Morning Show and How to Get Away with Murder, the film is slated to hit select theaters in the U.S and Canada on October 11.

Bad Genius is a high-stakes, high-octane thriller about a diverse group of students who team up to fight a system of injustice and inequity and take down the rigged academic institutions around them.

This is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Thursday, October 12, 2023.

Daniel Gillies is returning to The CW.

The Vampire Diaries and The Originals alum will star in Sight Unseen, a co-production between the network and CTV.

The series focuses on a "top homicide detective (Dolly Lewis) who is forced to quit the job she loves after nearly killing her partner and being diagnosed as clinically blind," according to the official logline.

"Reluctant to accept help, Tess uses an assistance app and connects with Sunny Patel (Agam Darshi), a professional seeing-eye guide and an agoraphobe living 3,000 miles away.

After losing her vision, Tess is haunted by the unsolved cases she left behind.

Using a hidden camera and earpiece, Sunny remotely steers Tess through life's obstacles — and crimes — as the two challenge preconceptions about ability, trust and where to draw the line.

Inspired by one of the co-creators' experiences with sight loss,...

The CW has ordered two scripted series set to premiere in the fall of 2024: crime-solving dramas “Wild Cards” and “Sight Unseen.”

“Wild Cards” is a procedural starring two alumni of the CW: Vanessa Morgan (“Riverdale”) and Giacomo Gianniotti (“Reign”). Ellis (Giannioti) is a gruff, sardonic cop demoted from his role as a detective fown to the maritime unit, while Max (Morgan) is a spirited, clever con woman living a transient life and scamming everyone she meets. When Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail if they can learn to trust each other and work together.

Michael Konyves created “Wild Cards” and executive produces alongside pilot director James Genn, Shawn Piller, Lloyd Segan, and writers Alexandra Zarowny, James Thorpe, Noelle Carbone and Morwyn Brebner,...

During her interview with The Companion’s Rebecca Davis for Amanda Tapping: Embracing Mental Health as a Fandom, the actor-turned-producer/director was frank about the mental health challenges she faced during the Covid-19 lockdown. Like many, she had to wrestle with the isolation and anxiety of the pandemic, but the stress was compounded by the loss of her mother to cancer on August 19, 2021.

Netflix’s live-action Fate: The Winx saga takes its inspiration for a magical story of female bonding and saving the world from a Nickelodeon animated series. There are many other shows and movies that follow the same themes. Hidden magic, female empowerment, and a search for identity are all found in Fate: The Winx Saga.

Netflix’s Fate: The Winx Saga was canceled after two seasons, but those first two seasons packed a lot of story into a short time. Bloom (Abigail Cowen) discovers she’s a fire fairy and attends a boarding school where she makes friends with different fairies who each specialize in different elements. The group of young women bond despite their differences and end up saving their school - twice - as well as the world of magic altogether. There are many other movies and shows like Fate: The Winx Saga that incorporate those same ideas that fans will also enjoy.

The hunt is over for The Winchesters: The CW has cancelled the Supernatural prequel spinoff after just one season, TVLine has learned. (The network on Thursday also pulled the plug on Kung Fu.)

The Winchesters‘ freshman season averaged 790,000 total viewers and a 0.2 demo rating (with Live+7 playback). Out of the 14 dramas that The CW aired this TV season, it ranks No. 7 in audience and is a five-way tie for No. 2 in the demo (trailing only All American).

Although vampires are the primary supernatural species in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the number of known witches expanded rapidly as the canon grew, featuring a handful of significant witches, numerous covens, and several other minor witches that might be difficult to keep track of. Buffy the Vampire Slayer introduced witchcraft early on in the series, but it didn't become a prominent feature until Willow dove into the world of magic headfirst, gaining power as she went on. Willow began using small spells in season 2, but she quickly found herself addicted to magic, using it to solve all of her problems (and frequently causing new ones in the process).

With how many witches eventually became part of the show's canon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was practically unrecognizable from the more focused series it was in season 1. A handful of witches played roles as major characters, but the complex world of covens...

Marissa is 35 years old, married, with a first grader and a stressful job as a sonographer. To take the edge off, she watches TV — soapy dramas on Hulu, mostly, like Shadowhunters and Motherland: Fort Salem. During the pandemic, she started to see this one particular commercial a lot. It takes place in a cavernous room draped in shades of pink chiffon, and stars Schitt’s Creek actress Annie Murphy.

“Welcome to my vagina,” coos Annie Murphy, reclining on a plush, blush-colored sofa. “In here, I make the rules. Rule one: no hormones.

Fantastical elements have been part of television since 1964's "Bewitched" and 1965's "I Dream of Jeannie. In the following decades, the genre's popularity has only grown, moving beyond family-friendly sitcoms. The '90s brought us "Hercules" and "Xena: Warrior Princess." The 2000s ushered in the massive cultural phenomenon of "Lost." The world of fantasy television is wonderfully expansive, featuring some of the most critically-acclaimed television -- from philosophical comedies like "The Good Place" to time travel romantic dramas like "Outlander," to high fantasy tales of intrigue and betrayal like "House of the Dragon." For every beloved series, there's a critically-panned fantasy flop. Every "Game of Thrones" season 1, there's a "Game of Thrones" season 8.

Exclusive: The management and production firm Navigation Media Group, repping creators in film and television, is expanding with the addition of Kegan Schell as Literary Manager.

Schell is a passionate advocate for queer and underrepresented talent who, at Navigation, will work with a broad range of creators in the horror and genre space. He joins from Echo Lake Entertainment, where he worked for six years. It was there that he first came to connect with Navigation’s co-founder, James Engle, while working as his assistant.

Schell brings with him a list of clients that includes Tom Hanada (Motherland: Fort Salem), Jess Carson (The Flash), Meredith Kecskemety (The Legend of Vox Machina), Alyssa & Griffin Devine (Portals), Todd Stephens (Swan Song) and Addison Heimann (Hypochondriac). While Navigation is headquartered in Los Angeles, with teams in both L.A. and Vancouver, Schell will be the first member of the company to work out of New York.

Let's admit it; saying goodbye is hard.

But it's even worse when you don't get an ending that offers closure for characters you've come to know.

Sadly, we said goodbye to plenty of shows in 2022, and many didn't get the chance to have a proper series finale.

But there is good news, and the TV Fanatic staff has rounded up the shows that ended with a conclusive series finale.

Check out our thoughts below.

Animal Kingdom (TNT)

Whether you loved it or loathed it, Animal Kingdom went out the same way the Cody boys lived their lives: on its own terms.

The final season delivered some incredible performances from the cast as the season revealed the original sin that changed everything.

While it's still debated whether or not it was the perfect ending for this series, the finality of it and the intent to wrap up the journey in an authentic way is abundantly clear.

Peyton List is going back to high school… possibly forever.

TVLine has an exclusive first look at the cast of Paramount+’s School Spirits, a young adult drama series produced by Awesomeness starring List (Cobra Kai) as “a teen stuck in the afterlife who decides to investigate her mysterious disappearance alongside a group of other students who are also stuck in limbo at their high school,” per the show’s official logline.

Stars: Vinne Jones, James Clayton, Lina Lecompte, Danny Mac | Written by Cooper Bibaud, Danny Mac | Directed by James Clayton

I’m not quite sure which is the least imaginative, calling an action film Death Pursuit or casting Vinne Jones as a psychotically violent criminal. James Clayton went with both in his directorial debut and that should have sent up more red flags than a text message from an ex.

Death Pursuit opens in a scrapyard as some goons are executing what I presume are rival goons. While they’re doing that The Thief slips in and helps himself to stacks of cash that are just sitting there unguarded. His exit is a little more complicated and he ends up fleeing in a car that has Mia the pregnant wife of Temple (Vinnie Jones) the man he just ripped off, hidden in the trunk.

A climactic final battle kicked off, but a surprising betrayal threatened to lessen the odds of the witches.

Didn't you always know that the Bellweather Unit was special?

How special wasn't revealed until really late on Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Episode 10.

Developments shook out predictably in this final battle with the Camarilla.

After all, the witches have been using their powers for centuries. The Camarilla were employing stolen powers and jury-rigged equipment. Experience was gonna prevail.

If only The Mother hadn't allowed the witches to dig themselves such a deep hole. If she's all-seeing, why didn't she warn them earlier that the Camarilla were conspiring against them?

I guess they had to learn the hard way that humans fear those that are different. You would have thought that history had taught them that already.

The political and military leaders eased up on the Camarilla far too soon. They only had one of the leadership triumvirate in custody (Silver), and they lost him.

Meanwhile, the crazy leader (Hearst) had...

Inspired by the sword and sorcery comic books of the same name by Dynamite Entertainment, Red Sonja is based on the heroine originally created for Marvel Comics by Robert E. Howard and subsequently adapted by Roy Thomas. While the character is described as a fearsome warrior boasting a high degree of skill with a sword, details as to the film adaptation’s plot have not been disclosed. Hannah John Kamen had previously been set for the film’s lead role of Red Sonja, though she’s stepped aside due to scheduling conflicts, with...

When Freeform officials decided to cut short this story of the witches of Fort Salem, they should have given Eliot Laurence 12 episodes for its final season instead of the usual 10.

That way, Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Episode 9 wouldn't have had to be so jam-packed with storylines.

As a result, storylines on which viewers had been waiting, including the trial of the Bellweather Unit and Raelle and Scylla's wedding ceremony, flat out got short shrift as Laurence and company had to scramble to set up the series finale.

Which is a shame. There were enough developments for a couple of episodes, but significant action ended up having to take place offstage to speed along events. Only so much can be crammed into 42 minutes.

Abigail's proposal that the Bellweather Unit turn themselves in was wise, as then there was no longer any reason for the Camarilla troops to continue to occupy The Cession.

Lionsgate will be giving the action film Bullet Proof a theatrical, VOD, and Digtial release this Friday, August 19th – and in anticipation of this release, we’ve gotten our hands on an Exclusive clip from the movie that shows star Vinnie Jones (Snatch) participating in a tense standoff.

The feature directorial debut of James C. Clayton, who also stars in the movie with Jones, Bullet Proof has the following synopsis:

Vinnie Jones plays Temple, a sadistic mob boss, in this gritty, white-knuckle action ride. After stealing millions in cash from Temple’s drug-dealing hideout, the Thief finds a stowaway in his getaway car – Temple’s pregnant wife, Mia!

However, a dangerous twist in the tale left Fort Salem under Camarilla's control.

That was a whole lot of sacrificing going on.

The dead bodies started to pile up on Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Episode 8, with too many coming from Team Witch.

And, in the end, the Camarilla got precisely what they wanted: the Bellweather Unit in custody.

Still, there were several positive developments for the witches as well.

For instance, Tally caught on quickly to going back in history with her sight, considering how she had been struggling with her future scrying up until now.

Just listening to a little piece of the song off of that music box, and she was back watching the steward getting encased in ice far in the past.

Being a fugitive has made Tally more outspoken when it comes to offering her opinion rather than just going along as she did as a new cadet. There's no time for hemming and hawing now.

Tally took a look at the big picture,...

Did the Cession prove to be a much bigger foe than the Camarilla thought they would be?

On Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Episode 7, battle lines were drawn and it was time to make a big decision about the final battle.

Meanwhile, the other fugitives were in danger and it was down to the girls to help them through it.

Elsewhere, Tally and Scylla teamed up as Abigail, Adil, and Anacostia turned to President Wade for answers.

The "she" referenced in the title was Raelle, who frankly showed up a little late for the party.

Even though Willa declared that her daughter has healed, Raelle still appeared a little shaky on Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Episode 7.

Still, atomizing a Camarilla shock trooper about to filet Tally was a great way to make an entrance.

Raelle should rest up all she can now because it sounds like it's going to come down to her Witch Bomb in the end. Willa said so.

And not realizing that Raelle was about to make her appearance, Scylla allowed herself to be captured so that the others could escape. Those two can't catch a break, can they?

This first day of the U.S. invasion proved that The Cession forces, which included the Bellweather Unit by default, had to play way too much defense. Accept for Abigail, of course, but more on that later.

So maybe splitting up was the right direction to take all along.

Now that they could leave their confinement at Horse's mansion, Abigail and Adil, Scylla, and Tally took off on separate missions on Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Episode 6.

And, shockingly, no one came out worse for wear from their adventures.

It certainly helped the Bellweather Unit's cause that Thelma Bearkiller, their keeper from the Council of the Great River, came over to their side after battling Hearst and his Camarilla soldiers.

Thelma also proved to be a badass as a travel agent, lining up transportation for all three outings.

Abigail and Adil had the most crucial mission, getting a weakened Alder back to the mycelium hidden underneath Fort Salem.

They had to have had the most dangerous route crossing the eastern United States rife with Camarilla. It was good that they had Scylla to give the trio a map...

Things had been looking up for the Bellweather Unit.

But events rapidly conspired against them on Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Episode 5.

If, as was the original plan, President Wade spoke for them to the Council of the Great River, the fugitives would have had a better shot. The Council would have at least listened to the leader of the United States.

Having sweet-faced Adil welcome each council member in their native tongue was a clever opening gambit. Unfortunately, it was the high point of their presentation as well.

Instead, the Council got to hear from Abigail. Full-of-herself, entitled Abigail. And they indeed weren't of a mind to be lectured at by Abigail.

Still, their reticence couldn't be all dumped on Abigail. They arrived with their minds made up. The fugitives were a problem with which they didn't want to deal. So why even show up?

The problem was that the Council,...

Blood and Treasure (Paramount+)

It’s about damn time!!

We’ve been waiting for two years for the adventure to continue, but finally, Blood and Treasure returns to a new network – Paramount+.

Unfortunately, they didn’t offer screeners to critics, so we’re in the dark, but we have faith that this will be the popcorn entertainment we need for the summer months.

Vertical Entertainment has picked up North American distribution rights to the action thriller “No Way Out,” directed by Azi Rahman, who is making his feature film debut.

The film turns on a Los Angeles couple embroiled in a passionate relationship fueled by sex, drugs and risk that quickly reaches a boiling point, leading to “drastic and life-altering consequences.” Vertical is planning a day-and-date release of the film on Aug. 12.

“No Way Out” stars Maia Mitchell (“The Last Summer”), Joey Bicicchi (“Tin Soldier”), Guy Burnet (“Oppenheimer”), Ashley Nicole Williams (“Motherland: Fort Salem”), Katelyn Pippy (“9-1-1: Lone Star”) and Ronnie Gene Blevins (“Emancipation”).

“No Way Out” is written and produced by Keith Kjarval of Unified Pictures. Ben Ruffman serves as executive producer and Peter Mosiman is cinematographer.

“New love can often be powerfully addictive, and we were interested in discovering how thin the line between love and addiction can be and how...

Events have to start turning around reasonably soon for the witches.

That's because things were looking pretty bleak for them following Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Episode 4.

That's not to say there weren't any positive developments. But the bad substantially outweighed the good.

And Motherland certainly had a unique take on a holiday episode. While there were the requisite heartwarming moments, no one was left feeling jolly at the end.

The best news was that Horse, the lead Cession marshal, appeared to be on the witches' side or at least was a neutral party.

So the fugitive witches were detained for their own good rather than imprisoned. As they learned when they attempted to break loose, it's better to have Horse as an ally than an enemy.

Horse also seemed as old as Alder, based on their friendly conversation during her brief stop there. They were like buddies catching up.

Motherland: Fort Salem is currently in its last season, and in only a couple of months, the show will be finished. Fans flocked to the show for its unique take on alternative history, considering the realistic responses the world would have to magic being out in the open and powerful women controlling much of the government.

Between the show's concept and the impressively complex bonds between the characters, Motherland: Fort Salem is a show that won't soon be forgotten. No other show does such a good job integrating magic with the real world, and few can make such convincing political commentaries. Unfortunately, the end is coming and fans have to find other shows to fill that void. These are the top ten shows for fans of Motherland: Fort Salem, crossing a variety of genres to hit on every major theme and strength the show offers.

This is not a happy hump day for Zoey Johnson. Freeform on Wednesday released the trailer for grown-ish‘s upcoming fifth season, which welcomes Junior (black-ish‘s Marcus Scribner) to Cal U as a full-time student — and a full-time problem for Zoey.

Let’s just cut right to it: The trailer’s 40-second mark finds Zoey walking in on Junior going to pound town with Luca’s younger sister Kiela (Daniella Perkins), and her reaction is pretty spot-on for someone who just witnessed their younger brother doing their ex-boyfriend’s sister against a bathroom sink.
