Mike Flanagan Rounds Out Cast for CARRIE: Kate Siegel, Katee Sackhoff, Heather Graham and More — GeekTyrant
Among the returning Flanagan favorites are Kate Siegel, Michael Trucco, Rahul Kohli, and Katee Sackhoffall of whom appeared in projects such as The Fall of the House of Usher , Hush , and Midnight Mass .
New to Flanagan's world this time around are Heather Graham ( Chosen Family ), Tim Bagley ( The Perfect Couple ), and Tahmoh Penikett ( The Madness ), alongside Mapuana Makia, Rowan Danielle, Naika Toussaint, Delainey Hayles, and Cassandra Naud.
Character details are still under wraps, but we do know Summer Howell will star as Carrie White. Siena Agudong, Matthew Lillard, Samantha Sloyan, Amber Midthunder, Josie Totah, Joel Oulette, and others round out the cast.
The new series will reimagine Stephen King's classic 1974 debut novel about a socially isolated teenage girl with emerging telekinetic powers. But Flanagan's version is taking a slightly different route. Following the death of her father, Carrie is thrust into the alien chaos of public high school and a scandal that fractures the community.
Flanagan is writing, executive producing, and showrunning the series, while also stepping behind the camera to direct select episodes.

5 top new shows to stream this week on Netflix, Hulu and more (Aug. 11-17)
Just when your watchlist was begging for a shake-up, in come new shows premiering on Netflix, Hulu and other streaming services as well as broadcast and cable networks.

Whether you want thrills, heart or secrets, this lineup delivers. Here are our top picks for new TV shows to watch this week. This prequel series to the original 1979 film 'Alien' brings the xenomorphs out of the shadows of space and drops them right into our backyard. It's 2120, and Earth is carved up by five ruthless mega-corporations. Wendy (Sydney Chandler) is their newest creation, the first human–synthetic hybrid. Then, a research ship crashes into Prodigy City, spilling something far deadlier than trade secrets. Noah Hawley's show swaps space stations for city streets, mixing corporate intrigue and identity crises with pure, chest-bursting terror. Turns out, home isn't any safer than the cold void of space. Episodes 1-2 premiere Tuesday, Aug. 12 at 8 p.m. ET on FX (via Sling or Fubo) and Hulu Daniel Dae Kim swaps the paradise of 'Hawaii Five-0' and 'Lost' for paranoia in Amazon's new spy thriller. He's David Jung, a former U.S. intelligence operative laying low in South Korea until a young assassin (Reina Hardesty) shows up to kill him — and turns out to be the daughter he hasn't seen in years. What follows is a tense, globe-hopping collision of family secrets, old betrayals and moral landmines. With Piper Perabo in the mix as a power player pulling strings, this isn't your standard game of cat and mouse. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. All 6 episodes premiere Wednesday, Aug. 13 at 3 a.m. ET on Prime Video Love Is Blind: UK is back for round two, and the pods are primed for fresh British banter and blind betrothals. Hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, the show once again gathers singles from across the UK and Ireland, all chasing romance without the pesky distraction of seeing each other first. This season's mix includes a dating app founder, a DJ, a Mensa member, a mommy's boy and a few hopeless romantics stuck in the friend zone. Sparks will fly, tears will be shed, proposals will be made, and wedding bells might ring … unless it's an 'I don't.' All 10 episodes premiere Wednesday, Aug. 13 at 3 a.m. ET on Netflix And just like that … the 'Sex and the City' saga comes to a bittersweet end. The legacy that began with the original HBO series over two decades ago now wraps up with a final farewell. In the sequel series, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte have faced new crossroads and challenges (and a killer Peloton); they'll continue to move forward into the future, just not seen on our screens. Carrie has finished her first novel, but she's somewhat adrift after her relationship with Aidan imploded. Will she, like her protagonist, end up alone? Or will she turn a new chapter in life? Episode 12 premieres Thursday, Aug. 14 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max This TV reboot revives John Grisham's iconic legal thriller, giving a fresh spin to the story Matt Damon made famous in 1997. Milo Callaghan stars as Rudy Baylor, a fresh law grad who's fired from a high-powered firm on day one. He quickly lands at a gritty taco stand-turned-law office alongside the relentless ambulance chaser Bruiser (Lana Parrilla) and her sly paralegal Deck (P.J. Byrne). Together, they unravel a deadly hospital cover-up, putting Rudy in the crosshairs of both his old boss and an ex with a score to settle. Forget 'Suits' and its limp revival; this one aims to deliver a sharper, more gripping courtroom showdown. Episode 1 premieres Friday, Aug. 15 at 10 p.m. ET on USA (via Sling or Fubo)

Dave Bautista Set For HIGHLANDER and ROAD HOUSE 2 at Amazon MGM Studios — GeekTyrant
Dave Bautista is lining up two big film projects at Amazon MGM Studios, and they're both the kind of high-energy, fan-favorite titles that will be great for him. Sources say the Dune and Guardians of the Galaxy star is closing deals for Chad Stahelski's Highlander and Road House 2 . In Highlander , Bautista will take on the role of the Kurgan, the ruthless immortal warrior originally brought to life by Clancy Brown in the 1986 cult classic. He'll star opposite Henry Cavill in Stahelski's revival, which United Artists is producing alongside Scott Stuber, Nick Nesbitt, Neal H. Moritz, and Stahelski's 87Eleven Entertainment. The original Highlander followed an ancient battle between immortal warriors, blending past and present-day storylines, and went on to spawn sequels, a TV series, and a passionate fan base. UA fully acquired the rights from Lionsgate, with plans to potentially expand into a new series as well. Patrick Wachsberger is on board as executive producer. Bautista is also stepping into Road House 2 , joining Jake Gyllenhaal, who returns as ex-UFC fighter Dalton. The sequel comes from a script by Will Beall ( Bad Boys: Ride or Die ) and is produced by Charles Roven and Alex Gartner of Atlas Entertainment, Gyllenhaal's Nine Stories Productions, and executive producer Josh McLaughlin. This time, directing duties fall to Ilya Naishuller ( Nobody ), after Guy Ritchie exited the project. The first Road House remake, released last year on Prime Video, was a massive streaming success, pulling in 80 million viewers worldwide in its first eight weeks, making it one of Amazon MGM Studios' most-watched films ever. Bautista's schedule is packed beyond these two projects. He recently popped up in Liam Neeson's Naked Gun reboot, is set to star in Paramount Pictures' The Romantic , has the actioner Trap House and the buddy cop comedy The Wrecking Crew with Jason Momoa on the way, and will appear in Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl and the Zellner Brothers' alien invasion comedy Alpha Gang .

‘And Just Like That …' Season 3, Episode 11: Romantic Tragedy
Season 3, Episode 11: 'Forgot About the Boy' You would think that Carrie would have felt a twinge of embarrassment at being caught by Lisette walking past her old house like a stalker. But no, Carrie and Lisette say a pleasant hello and embrace, even as Carrie jokes, 'I want my place back.' Is it a joke, though? Lisette invites Carrie to a party she is hosting the Monday before Thanksgiving, but Carrie later tells Seema she is afraid to go. She thinks seeing her old place might make her sad, which, if you know Carrie, isn't surprising at all. That old apartment has seen Carrie through every version of herself — single and coupled, young and not-so-young, struggling and thriving — and twice now, Carrie has given it up for a man. First, she moved into 'Heaven on Fifth' when she got engaged to Big, although she was miraculously able to buy it back when that wedding was (originally) called off. More recently, she sold it to Lisette when her new-old beau Aidan came back into the picture. He refused to set foot inside of it because of lingering trauma from when Carrie cheated on him while living there. To appease that self-centered man, she sold it again and bought the Gramercy palace, where Aidan and his three sons could fit. That plan didn't pan out, so she is stuck in a giant house with a beautiful garden all alone. Is that such a bad thing? According to Carrie's publishing house, it is. That scenario mirrors the ending of Carrie's first novel, which, with the help of Duncan's notes, is now finished and submitted. But her editor, who thinks the idea of a woman ending up alone is a 'romantic tragedy,' wants an epilogue — something a little more uplifting that gives the reader hope. Want all of The Times?
