[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Tracker Season 2 Episode 4 “Noble Rot.”] Tracker introduced a messy history between rewardist Colter (Justin Hartley) and lawyer Reenie (Fiona Rene) in the first episode, and since then, it’s been a question of will they/won’t they—but at the same time, neither is waiting around. Colter’s had other love interests, and Reenie brings a plus one (Michael Rady‘s Elliot) to a retreat in the latest episode. At the end of “Noble Rot,” Reenie remarks that she can really count on Colter, especially with work, and he says he hopes Elliot knows how lucky he is. Is that sort of closing the door on anything happening between Reenie and Colter, at least for now? “He’s known that I have been open and available and interested, and he’s been so shut off to it. And then even in the pilot, you walked out? So I think...

Fiona Rene and Justin Hartley in ‘Tracker’ season 2 episode 4

Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) heads to California’s wine country for CBS’s Tracker season two episode four, “Noble Rot.” Quinn Ridgely, co-ceo of a software company, has gone missing from a high-end wellness retreat in Napa Valley. By the time Colter’s called in, she’s been gone for nine hours.

Reenie (Fiona Rene) is already at the retreat with her plus one, a handsome man named Elliott Rush (Michael Rady), when Colter arrives. Quinn’s wife, Gray, is offering the reward, but Reenie warns that the retreat’s owner is leery about bringing in an outsider to investigate.

Reenie says Gray believes this is a case of corporate kidnapping, but she doesn’t think so. There are lots of security cameras, but they haven’t caught any sign of Quinn on the grounds. Gray explains she was on a sunset hike when Quinn disappeared.

Tracker spoilers and updates tease it’s time for episode four of season two. This episode will feature Reenie Greene (Fiona Rene) quite a bit, convincing Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) to take an intriguing case.

Tracker Spoilers – Following A Familiar Pattern

To begin with, it is essential to highlight that the upcoming show will continue the recent trend of featuring well-known guest stars. This time, the talented Michael Rady, recognized for his roles in Magnum Pi and Chicago Med, will grace the screen as Elliot Stern.

The narrative promises to evoke a sense of familiarity, reminiscent of the acclaimed series Nine Perfect Strangers, which starred Nicole Kidman and previously aired on Hulu.

In the episode titled “Noble Rot,” the plot revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a woman from an exclusive wellness retreat in Napa, tailored for CEOs. Colter is tasked with finding the missing woman, which may be more difficult than expected.

Not much is publicly known about Robert Shinn, the elusive and mysterious founder of 7M Films and the pastor of Shekinah Church – as seen in Netflix docuseries Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult. Indeed, Shinn seems to prefer to stick to the background and let the talent assembled by his agency get all of the attention.

Founded by Shinn and son Isaiah Shinn, 7M Films is not the biggest talent agency in the world, or the most successful, but it might be one of the most viral. 7M traditionally has not been looking to boost working actors to new heights, but to tap into a talented community of self-motivated dancers, singers, musicians, and performers who have the skills necessary to go viral on TikTok with a little help from 7M. However, viral videos and brand partnerships aren’t Robert Shinn’s first attempt at getting a taste of Hollywood glory.

A revival of ’90s hit “Melrose Place” is in the works at CBS Studios, with original stars Heather Locklear, Daphne Zuniga and Laura Leighton set to return, TheWrap has learned.

The Darren Star-created night-time soap followed the complicated lives of several 20-somethings who lived in a Los Angeles apartment complex called Melrose Place, where the drama included a bombing, a drowning and a “Dynasty”-esque pool fight.

Locklear played advertising exec Amanda Woodward, whose addition to the show late in the first season helped boost ratings at the time. Zuniga played Jo Reynolds on the series from 1992 to 1999 while Leighton played Sydney Andrews, sister of Josie Bassett’s character Jane.

Lauren Gussis of “Dexter” and “Insatiable” fame is set to write and executive produce the revival, which would see the “Og residents” returning when one of their friends die. Per the logline, the reunion “uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances,...

Tis the season to be scary and Screambox has got you covered with a trio of brand-spanking-new Christmas-themed horror movies that go perfectly with cookies and milk in front of a warm fire.

Now streaming on Screambox from the director of Jason Goes to Hell is Secret Santa and the awesomely creepy anthology Night of the Missing.

That’s not all! Just in time for Christmas break, Santastein will make the long winter’s nights anything but silent on Dec. 19.

Since Black Christmas, holiday films have been a refreshing sub-genre within horror. These films offer a much-needed contrast to the “all is well” narrative that is so often depicted in seasonal films. The angst and anxiety of holiday horror offer a cathartic release because for many the holidays are not perfect, and we don’t see ourselves in the yuletide rom-coms.

In fact, Screambox has more than stocking stuffers, with...

Horror fans will recognize Adam Marcus as the director of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and the co-writer of Texas Chainsaw 3D, two divisive but oft-discussed entries in their respective franchises. He recently returned to the genre to helm Secret Santa, a holiday horror-comedy streaming exclusively on Screambox.

The final installment in our three-part interview with the raconteur focuses on Secret Santa and the trials and tribulations of independent filmmaking. He also teases several projects that are in the works, including a monstrous collaboration with special effects legend Robert Kurtzman.

Secret Santa was born out of Marcus and his writing partner/wife Debra Sullivan’s frustration with the lack of creative control they had on their two previously produced screenplays, 2013’s Texas Chainsaw and 2015’s Momentum. “Artistically, it just started to feel really hollow. I was like, ‘Did I get into this to make money, or did I...

Sleigh bells ring and it’s that time of year again, with Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” officially underway. The annual holiday event features all-new Hallmark Christmas movies premiering on the Hallmark Channel on TV and — love ’em or hate ’em — the films have become a beloved holiday tradition for millions of viewers each year.

This year, viewers can also get into the festive films by streaming Hallmark holiday movies online.

The frightful weather outside has nothing on the family gathering in Secret Santa. Adam Marcus, who is best known for unleashing the gonzo Friday the 13th entry Jason Goes to Hell upon the world, truly outdid himself with this over-the-top Christmas horror movie. Which is saying a lot considering the events of Jason Voorhees’ sole ‘90s outing. After some time away from the genre, though, Marcus returned in 2018 with a comedy as black as coal. Christmas cynics will naturally be drawn to the promise of a family going off the deep end during the holidays. However, this seasonal shocker may prove to be too much even for the biggest of scrooges.

For many folks, Christmas is the most joyous time of the year. For April Pope (A. Leslie Kies) and other members of her family, it’s the most dreadful. The director’s own internal struggle with Christmas is channeled...

It's time to start getting in the Christmas spirit - at least, according to the Hallmark Channel, which released its full slate of holiday movies on Sept. 19. This year's crop of films features a number of new faces and fresh plots to immerse you in the scent of pine trees and the sound of Christmas carols, as well as some relatively familiar faces, such as John Travolta's sister Ellen, who stars in "Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up."

Hallmark will begin airing its holiday movies on Oct. 20, starting with "Checkin' It Twice," a romance that follows a real estate agent who falls in love with a hockey player. The 40 films will air on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8 p.m. Et, with additional features also airing every Thursday on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel, with a few exceptions.

Don’t look now, but it is getting very close to the most wonderful time of the year. Yes, the holidays are still a few months away, but holiday movie season is just around the corner. Yesterday, Great American Family announced its Great American Christmas programming slate, and on Tuesday, the Hallmark Channel did the same announcing their expansive “Countdown to Christmas” lineup of original films that will take place on both the flagship cable network as well as sibling channel Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (which hosts the annual Miracles of Christmas lineup) and direct-to-consumer (Dtc) streaming service Hallmark Movies Now.

Hallmark is delivering 40 brand-new original films across its multiple platforms with new movies premiering on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night all season long. The festivities will kick off on Friday, Oct. 20 and will run around the clock throughout the holiday season.

Hallmark has revealed that it will have 40 all-new, original movies for both its flagship channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, as well as special content for Hallmark Movies Now, the company’s subscription streaming service.

Even though the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes impacted TV and film productions, Hallmark anticipated the labor dispute by getting a head start on production in Canada. “Christmas is a year-round business at Hallmark, so we were able to mitigate early in the year understanding that the strikes were unfortunately imminent,” Lisa Hamilton Daly, EVP of programming at Hallmark Media, was recently quoted as saying. “We’re grateful to meet all our goals for a full, all-new holiday slate and to bring our viewers the content they love most to celebrate the season.”

Holiday programming kicks off Friday, Oct. 20 with the channel’s Countdown to Christmas and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ Miracles of Christmas.

Regarding the return of Magnum P.I., it's a good news-bad news situation for fans.

Let's go with the good news first. Unlike many scripted programs, the second half of the NBC series' fifth season will return on Oct. 4, earlier than was previously announced.

The bad news is that these episodes are likely the end for the Magnum reboot. After saving the show following its cancellation by CBS, NBC managed to run it into the ground before canceling it yet again. Yup, it's been that kind of season for Magnum.

Here's everything we know about the probable Magnum final ride.

Has Magnum P.I. been renewed?

No, sadly, just the opposite. It's been a roller-coaster couple of years for those involved with Magnum.

For four seasons, the Jay Hernandez-starrer was a pretty sturdy performer for CBS. Granted, ratings expectations for Friday prime-time are a fairly low bar.

In May 2022, CBS shockingly...

Rick is getting close to figuring out what’s going on in the teaser for NBC’s Magnum P.I. season five episode six. “Dead Ringer” will air on Sunday, March 19, 2023 at 9pm Et/Pt.

Jay Hernandez leads the cast as Thomas Magnum, Perdita Weeks is Juliet Higgins, Zachary Knighton stars as Orville ‘Rick’ Wright, Stephen Hill is Theodore ‘Tc’ Calvin, Amy Hill is Kumu, and Tim Kang plays Det. Gordon Katsumoto.

“Dead Ringer” Plot: Katsumoto’s hearing date has arrived and he will learn if his career in law enforcement is over for good or not. Magnum and Higgins are hired to investigate a man their client believes committed murder. Rick’s suspicions grow on their relationship.

Magnum P.I. is back and sexier than ever. NBC has been teasing juicier storylines in the show’s fifth season, the first at its new network home after it was unceremoniously canceled by CBS after last year’s season 4 finale. The two-part season 5 premiere delivered on that promise, with plenty of heat between Magnum and Higgins, plus some intriguing new storylines that will likely play out in the upcoming episodes.

[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Magnum P.I. Season 5 Episodes 1 and 2.]

Magnum and Higgins are on, but they’re keeping their relationship on the Dl Jay Hernandez as Thomas Magnum | Zack Dougan/NBC

After that big kiss in the Magnum P.I. Season 4 finale, we were eager to see what was next for Magnum (Jay Hernandez) and Higgins (Perdita Weeks). The premiere wastes no time in confirming that things are very much on between the two. “The Passenger” opens with a steamy shower scene, though it...

The following contains spoilers from the first two episodes of Magnum P.I. Season 5 on NBC.

Magnum P.I. this Sunday night kicked off its NBC run with, yes, steamy shower smooching and extra-flirty banter between the newly coupled Thomas and Juliet. We also saw that Katsumoto, though at first resigned to being sidelined at the Hpd (and replaced with Michael Rady’s Det. Childs), has instead decided to fight for his job; Kumu will be helping out at La Mariana as Rick juggles fatherhood; and said new dad is now crashing as Magnum’s place, until he can close on a new,...

Exclusive: Hallmark Media wants to stay in the Nikki DeLoach business: It has signed the Five More Minutes actress to an exclusive, multi-picture overall deal.

Hallmark Channel viewers should recognize DeLoach from her starring roles in such original movies as The Perfect Catch, Christmas Land, A Dream of Christmas, Truly, Madly, Sweetly and Love Takes Flight, which premiered as a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation. She also developed, executive produced and starred in Reunited at Christmas, as well as co-wrote Christmas for Keeps with her writing partner Megan McNulty, which aired during “Miracles of Christmas” on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

DeLoach also starred as the lead in the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries original Two Turtle Doves opposite Michael Rady. She executive produced and starred in Taking the Reins for Hallmark Channel and showcased her acting range in Five More Minutes, which premiered in 2021 during “Miracles of Christmas” on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

Most recently for the network,...

When Magnum P.I. jumps to NBC later this season, Michael Rady will be along for the ride.

TV Line reported Monday that the Timeless, Melrose Place, and Chicago Med veteran would be a part of the highly-anticipated fifth season.

The outlet states that he will play Detective Childs of the Honolulu Pd in a recurring capacity.

Rady is a popular actor who has appeared in many beloved projects, so there is undoubtedly a lot of excitement about his role on the CBS-turned-nbc procedural.

Magnum P.I. was canceled by CBS earlier this year, despite commanding strong ratings (to the tune of 7.3 million viewers and a 0.7 rating) on Fridays.

The numbers were relatively stable vs. its previous season, but the show was not owned by CBS.

“Every year, there’s a couple of tough ones, and this was one of them,” CBS president Kelly Kahl told The Wrap following the controversial decision.

Magnum P.I. has added a new (yet familiar!) face as it moves into its new home on NBC.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Michael Rady (Chicago Med, Timeless) will recur during Season 5 of the island drama as Detective Chris Childs of the Honolulu Pd. He will make his debut in the Season 5 premiere (date Tbd).

Even if you’ve never once set foot in a movie theater, you probably know about AMC’s Nicole Kidman ad. It’s a spot so serious — so wildly self-important — that it’s taken on a life of its own. Shot by an Oscar nominee, written by an Oscar nominee and starring a one-time winner walking in the rain, it’s practically begging for a Saturday Night Live parody. This weekend, it finally got one.

The sketch might be a little late; the ad first appeared over a year ago. It’s been hashed and rehashed online countless times. Tweets have been shared,...

The first rule of comedy is make fun of yourself before anyone else can and, in the season opener of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, they did just that.

With the loss of seven cast members and the addition of four unknown quantities (two stand-ups, a comic actor, and a TV writer), the show’s first cold open of Season 48 went full metacomedy.

But the simple truth...

NBC’s La Brea opened Season 2 this week by unleashing fresh drama in the form of, yes, a new tribe of jackholes and a pair of warring rhinos. But it also caught viewers off-guard with a personal predicament for Izzy Harris, who is an amputee.

In the course of hoofing it from (what she, Gavin and Ella thought was) Seattle circa 10,000 B.C. to Los Angeles, Calif., Izzy lost her footing, and in doing so accidentally put enough pressure on her left leg prosthetic to make the socket crack.

Emily Keefe and Beau Minniear return from the 2018 short film of the same name with a cast that also includes Sean Allan Krill (Dopesick), Julie Halston (Sex and the City), Jesse Posey (Selena), and Sadie Scott (Sweetbitter).

Directed by Erik Bloomquist and penned by Taylor Turner, Intermedium follows an obsessive-compulsive teenager (Keefe) as she searches for a way to rid her home of the ghost (Minniear) that haunts it — but their unexpected connection makes it hard to let go.

Nina is described as savvy, motivated, and effortlessly cool—but a dark cloud lingers beneath the facade. Haunted...

Scott Shannon is the King Kong of rock and roll radio. The new feature-length documentary Worst to First: The True Story of Z100 New York describes how he arrived in New York to save a bottom-place radio station, and turned it into a major media force.

“Coming to you live from the top of the Empire State Building,” like every other New York station sharing the city’s antenna, Z100 was one of the eight wonders of the radio world. The DJs broadcast from the swamps of New Jersey, when the Meadowlands might as well have been Skull Island, on-air talent had to buy their own records, and the station wasn’t on rotation when musicians came to town to promote shows. Shannon and his fellow radio personalities turned it into a first-stop music shop.

Jon Bon Jovi, Joan Jett, and Nile Rodgers, who are interviewed in the documentary, broke through because of Z100 airplay.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Chicago Med Season 7, Episode 9, “Secret Santa Has a Gift for You.”] The Chicago Med winter finale made it look like Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) would do something to risk his career (yet again), but then the episode delivered a bombshell in its final moments—at the hospital’s Christmas bash! After attending the tree lighting with Jessa (Angela Wong Carbone), Will goes back to her place, ostensibly to try her new eggnog recipe, and gets her to admit that Dr. Matt Cooper (Michael Rady) received kickbacks essentially for every VasCom device ordered. And unbeknownst to Jessa, Will was taping every word, which he soon plays for Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson) and Peter Kalmick (Marc Grapey). It’s enough to take to the FBI, right? First, Peter insists on talking to the board. (One member: Cooper’s father-in-law!) As Peter does that, Will learns that Matt has plans to...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Chicago Med Season 7 premiere “You Can’t Always Trust What You See.”] Surprise — Chicago Med actually officially says goodbye to one of the original cast members we thought left at the end of last spring’s finale in the opening scene of the Season 7 premiere. The episode also reveals just how Will (Nick Gehlfuss) will be rejoining the hospital staff, and he’s not entirely comfortable with it. First, Will helps Natalie (Torrey DeVitto) pack up her car and sees her and her son off as they move away. It seems he takes her advice that he needs to return to the hospital because he calls Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson). Lucky for him, this comes as she’s questioning another doctor’s (Michael Rady‘s Cooper) usage of a cardiac output monitor. It’s a pricy machine, and other monitors are just as good, Will tells Sharon. She worries...

Although Maggie feels like a third wheel crashing their Christmas, she’s not alone, as Kate’s hapless brother, Sam (Warren Christie), shows up unannounced. Always seeming to live in Kate’s shadow, Sam, for once, wants to come out ahead, and he convinces Maggie that, together, they can compete with Kate and make this Christmas the best one ever.

For single mom, Maggie O’Donnell (Ashley Williams), Christmas has always been a family occasion but this year, with her daughter Ellen away with her father for the holidays, Maggie’s facing her first Christmas alone. That is, until she quite literally crashes into Lucas Cavelli (Niall Matter) at a Christmas tree lot.

Cassie (Catherine Bell) and Sam (James Denton) celebrated their one-year anniversary and began to grow under each other's influence.
