Are you able to give us one last Ghosts spoiler before this Thursday's finale? I'll take anything! –Fire
When we asked star Asher Grodman what kind of cliffhanger we were in store for, he told us, 'I don't think it's going to be as agonizing as others have been, but I think it is going to make you be just a little mad at us that we don't have another episode right afterwards.'

Any scoop on Will Trent? –Claire
Three words: Must. Watch. Tonight's Episode. Live. (And then come to TVLine after for a post mortem with Erika Christensen, who made her directorial debut with this big episode.)
Should Criminal Minds fans expect anything from Tara's past to come up this season? –Alyssa
'This season is going to be deeply personal for Tara,' Aisha Tyler shared with me during her Monday afternoon visit to TVLine's NYC video studio. 'We get to dive into my backstory, which has been really beautiful.' On the romantic front, meanwhile, 'Every big obstacle is facing Tara and Rebecca' — including, perhaps, Papa Lewis' wish to meet the special lady in Tara's life. (Stay tuned for full video later this week!)
Anything you can tell us about Criminal Minds: Evolution season premiere? –Andrea
Prentiss gets this season's first quotation read! And while not in the premiere, I believe JJ got Season 18's first curse word?
What can you tease about the Chicago P.D. Season 12 finale other than the Burzek wedding? –Demar
'We coming for Reid's ass. And there's going to be a wedding, and it's going to be a good time. That's all I can say,' cast member Toya Turner says about the finale. 'I wish I could tell you more, like, about how [Burgess] looks, but she looks gorgeous. It was fun to shoot that, not just as the last episode, but also, we shot that on the last day of the shooting schedule, and it was nice to all be together.'

Now that Wednesday's Season 2 premiere has been announced, has there been any word on Fred Armisen's Uncle Fester spin-off? –James
The one that Netflix reportedly was 'in talks' about a year-and-a-half ago? I asked around, but there are zero updates at this time.
Can you tease anything more about Christopher Gotham's appearance on Georgie & Mandy? -Lindsey
While I can't give away anything more than what was teased when his casting was first announced, I can tell you that you should expect to see him around beyond the hour-long Season 1 finale (airing Thursday, May 15).
Will the Absolutely Fabulous: Inside & Out reunion special ever be available to watch here in the U.S.? –Dre
I reached out to BBC Studios, and a deal has not yet been made for the retrospective documentary's Stateside release.
Is the New Amsterdam sequel series going to be ordered for the fall of 2025? –Zachary
No one at NBC is commenting, so… I guess we will find out on or around Monday, ahead of the NBCU Upfront presentation!
I just read your NCIS finale interview and was sad to see no Jimmy/Jess updates. Did he say anything about them for Season 23? –A.J.
I did ask about the former couple, and showrunner Steven D. Binder affirmed 'there is more' to be done with them next season — though it could mean things get, um, worse. 'Another beat [in that story] doesn't mean they're back together again, because, while heartwarming and cute, that was not particularly dramatic,' he explained. 'I think that's why it ran its course. But yeah, there's more there, for sure.'

Any updates on Eragon, Heroes: Eclipsed, Anansi Boys, or Halo Season 3? –Malivore
I answered a version of this last October, but, sure, I'll play your little game one last time. The answers are: still in development at Disney+; currently on pause, sources tell me; possibly not making that previously scooped Q2 date; and Xbox has 'nothing to share at this time.'
Any early scoop on NCIS: Sydney Season 3? –Dee
When I asked showrunner Morgan O'Neill about a most conspicuous local landmark that has yet to be featured on the CBS procedural, this was his excited response: 'If you're a fan of the Sydney Opera House, which I am — it's one of the great buildings of the 20th century, it opened in the year of my birth, and it's the iconic building of Sydney — you will not be disappointed by Episode 1 of Season 3.'
Any scoop on the Grey's Anatomy season finale? –Fabio
I have been told that the May 15 episode, titled 'How Do I Live,' is a 'very Grey's finale' — meaning, you should expect a big, crazy cliffhanger.
With FBI: Most Wanted sadly ending, I really need to know if anything will be happening with Scolina before the seasons end? –Marissa
I wouldn't count on any last Scola/Nina scenes this spring on either FBI or the terminal Most Wanted, no.
Any scoop on #Chenford and Lucy's sergeants exam results and fallout over the final two episodes of The Rookie? –Emily
Having seen the last two episodes of the season, I can tease that there is a twist or two regarding those exam results. (Said differently, there is a question I have not seen fans asking about one possible outcome….) Bonus scoop: The stuff with Nya and Angela's moms in tonight's episode is highly entertaining. (In short, the two detectives had no idea their moms had become friends!) The Skip Tracer Randy stuff is… less so, as much as I love Meg DeLacy.

Is there any news about the planned spin-off of The Rookie? –Nicole
'I feel really good about the script,' Rookie boss Alexi Hawley shared with me when last we spoke. 'Ultimately, we're waiting to hear what the needs are [at ABC], but I feel very positive about it.' That said…. 'My caveat, said with a genuine laugh, is that I also felt very positive about Season 3 of [Netflix's] The Recruit, and it ended up not happening,' Hawley acknowledged. 'But look, it's apples and oranges. We just got a Season 8 on Rookie, the show works really well for them…. Beyond that, it's out of my hands.' (ABC announces its plans for the 2025-26 TV season next week.)

Fire Country Season 4: Max Thieriot Worries Bode Will Be ‘Very Broken' If [Spoiler] Has in Fact Died — WATCH
Fire Country star and co-creator Max Thieriot is frankly worried 'how poorly' Bode will respond if his firefighter father, Vince, winds up dying in the blaze that closed out Season 3. When last we tuned into the Friday-night CBS drama, the scene at Walter's memory care center was mayhem. Racing to the facility after realizing it was in the path of the Zabel Ridge wildfire, Bode and Walter (Jeff Fahey) spent a lot of time hunting for Walter's pal Otto, eventually finding him sheltered in a closet. More from TVLine Casting News: Boston Blue Adds Maggie Lawson, Lincoln Lawyer Enlists Cobie Smulders and More Survivor Turns 25: Was Jonny Fairplay's Dead Grandma Lie the Series' Most Villainous Play Ever? Vote! Casting News: Hamilton at the Tonys, She's All That Reunion and More But then Bode's trick knee gave out while lugging Walter through the halls. Vince and Sharon (Billy Burke and Diane Farr) arrived on the scene and, leaving Jake (Jordan Calloway) in charge, dashed inside to find Bode and Walter, though that took time. And then once they did, Walter went missing! Vince located Walter, but before they and Sharon could find their way to safety, the roof collapsed — as a horrified and helpless Bode watched from outside…. As if the cliffhanger wasn't harrowing enough, as soon as the finale ended on the East Coast, the news broke that Burke, who has played Vince since Day 1, was exiting the CBS drama after three seasons. (Stephanie Arcila is also done as a series regular, though producers hope her Gabriela might pop up now and again as a guest star.) Meaning, it sure seems like Season 4 will reveal that Vince in fact perished in the blaze. If true, Bode will certainly be left 'very broken,' Thieriot tells TVLine in the red carpet video above. 'Bode has obviously gone through a lot of hardship in his life,' his portrayer notes, 'and it seems like every time he feels like he's coming out the other side, something happens. So I worry what [Vince's death] would to do him, and how poorly he would respond. 'We know [Bode has] made leaps and bounds as far as the person he is after being incarcerated,' Thieriot continues, 'but has he come fare enough to deal with something like that or not…? It's heavy.'

Étoile Cancelled After One Season at Amazon, Despite Two-Season Order
Étoile is taking its final bow, a little earlier than expected. Amazon's Prime Video has cancelled the Amy Sherman-Palladino ballet comedy after just one season, our sister site Deadline reports, despite Amazon giving the series a two-season order initially. The decision to cancel 'came down largely to performance vs. cost,' Deadline says. More from TVLine The Cleaning Lady, Alert: Missing Persons Unit Both Cancelled at Fox Daniel Dae Kim's Butterfly Spy Thriller Sets Amazon Release Date Casting News: Nicole Kidman Lands Yet Another Series, Power Reunion at Netflix and More Hailing from Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creator Sherman-Palladino, Étoile starred Luke Kirby (who played Lenny Bruce on Mrs. Maisel) as Jack McMillan, the artistic director of a prestigious New York ballet company. To drum up interest (and give flagging ticket sales a boost), Jack agrees to swap dancers with an equally renowned ballet company in Paris. (FYI: Étoile, pronounced āˈtwäl, is defined as a principal dancer in a ballet company.) Along with Kirby, the cast included Charlotte Gainsbourg (Call My Agent!), Gideon Glick (The Other Two), Simon Callow (Outlander), Lou de Laâge (The Innocents) and David Alvarez (West Side Story). Additionally, Gilmore Girls veterans Yanic Truesdale (aka Michel) and Kelly Bishop (aka Emily Gilmore) appeared in recurring roles. Debuting in April with all eight episodes dropping at once, Étoile earned mostly positive reviews but failed to make a dent in the Nielsen streaming charts.

Hunting Wives Adaptation Starring Malin Akerman, Brittany Snow Moves From Starz to Netflix for July Release
Another one of TVLine's 'missing' shows has been found. A TV adaptation of May Cobb's 2021 novel The Hunting Wives, ordered to series by Starz in October 2023, instead will be released by Netflix — on Monday, July 21. More from TVLine Emmys Twist: Dept. Q Enters Drama Series Race at 11th Hour, Potentially Upending 2025 Contest (Exclusive) Ginny & Georgia's Biggest Season 3 Finale Mystery Has Already Been Solved: 'There Was a Debate,' EP Says Every New Scripted Show Confirmed to Premiere in 2025 - Save the Dates! As explained by Deadline, the move stems from Starz's split from Hunting Wives acquirer Lionsgate Television, which took effect last month. Described as a twisty thriller, The Hunting Wives tells the story of Sophie O'Neil (played by American Dreams' Brittany Snow) and her family's move from the East Coast to deep East Texas, where she succumbs to socialite Margo Banks' (Trophy Wife's Malin Akerman) irresistible charms — and in turn finds her life consumed by obsession, seduction, and murrrrderrrr. The cast also includes Chrissy Metz, in her first post-This Is Us TV role, as Starr, a working-class woman and staunch Christian who is not welcomed in the high-society world of the Hunting Wives; Katie Lowes (Scandal) as Jill, wife of Reverend Clint and 'queen' of the local megachurch; Jaime Ray Newman (Eastwick) as Callie, a sheriff's wife and amazing marksman who is the 'second in command' of the Hunting Wives; and George Ferrier (One of Us Is Lying) as Brad, a perfect All-Texan boy who behind closed doors has an emotionally incestuous relationship with his mother. Dermot Mulroney (Chicago Fire) and Evan Jonigkeit (Sweetbitter) round out the cast, while Karen Rodriguez (Acapulco), Michael Aaron Milligan (Ruthless) and Hunter Emery (Hightown) fill recurring roles. Filming on The Hunting Wives began in spring 2024 and wrapped last year. 'Missing' Shows, Found!
