Filming on Criminal Minds Season 19 Has Begun: Who Is Definitely Back?
'The BAU is back on the case,' the Criminal Minds Instagram announced on Friday afternoon, along with a BTS photo signaling that filming on Season 19 has begun. The news comes almost midway through Season 18, which is dropping new episodes every Thursday on Paramount+. (Season 19 was greenlit back on March 5, more than two months ahead of the current season's premiere.) More from TVLine Criminal Minds: The Surprising Story Behind That Shocking Will Scene Criminal Minds: A.J. Cook Opens Up About JJ's Loss, Her Real-Life Sons Playing 'Big Emotions,' and Negotiating That Brief Cameo All Stars 10 Is the Best Drag Race Season in Years - and It's About to Get Even Better (Exclusive Sneak Peek) 'The BAU is back on the case!' the crime drama's IG trumpets. 'A new season of Criminal Minds: Evolution has officially started filming.' To look at the clapboard photo above, Joe Mantegna, Aisha Tyler, Kirsten Vangsness, Adam Rodriguez, A.J. Cook, Paget Brewster and Ryan-James Hatanaka will be back as series regulars for next season — meaning, David, Tara, Penelope, JJ, Emily and Tyler all are safe to buy some green bananas. Might the slippery Sicarius aka Elias Voit (played by Zach Gilford) make it out of this season alive, to taunt the BAU for a fourth straight time? That remains TBD. Season 18 of Criminal Minds: Evolution kicked off on May 8 and picked up six months after prisoners attacked the notorious Sicarius, leading the serial killer's restless followers on the dark web to begin wreaking havoc all over the country. In order to stop this group from killing more innocents, the BAU has been forced to work alongside an increasingly unpredictable — and seemingly amnesic? — Voit, who surely is harboring his own sinister agenda. Other Season 18 cast includes Lucifer alum Aimee Garcia as Dr. Julia Ochoa, a leading neuropsychiatrist assigned to help Voit recover from his injury-induced brain trauma, while franchise vet Matthew Gray Gubler recently made his first Evolution appearance as Dr. Spencer Reid.

Keanu Reeves Isn't Happy With Where CONSTANTINE 2 Is Heading — GeekTyrant
If you're one of the many fans who've been riding the emotional rollercoaster of Constantine 2 updates over the years, you might want to brace yourself again because things aren't exactly going smoothly behind the scenes. Actor Peter Stormare, who famously played Lucifer in the 2005 cult classic, recently shed some light on what's going on with the sequel... and it sounds like Keanu Reeves isn't thrilled with what he's seeing. While promoting his latest project Stand Your Ground , Stormare was asked for an update on Constantine 2 , and he didn't sugarcoat the situation. 'It's a lot of back and forth, because… I think Keanu [Reeves], who I know pretty good, is not so happy with the scripts and usually what comes out of the studios…' That hesitation from Reeves is about protecting the soul of the film. According to Stormare, Reeves has a clear vision for what Constantine 2 should be: 'I think Keanu says, 'I've done John Wick. This movie is spiritual. It's about demons and regular people. And I wanted to keep it that way.' And we talked about that… I think Keanu, he wants to do a sequel that is very close to the first one.' That first film, directed by Francis Lawrence, wasn't a massive hit out of the gate. It was dark, weird, spiritual, and very much its own thing. But over time, it found its audience, one that appreciated a grimy, noir-soaked world where angels and demons fought over souls, and the hero was a chain-smoking exorcist with one foot in the grave. 'The first one wasn't that successful in the beginning. It became a sleeper and became a cult movie, and now it is one of the biggest cult movies ever. 'But to do a sequel, the studios want to have, you know, cars flying in the air. They want to have people doing flip-flops and fighting action scenes.' Stormare hasn't read the latest scripts himself, all of this is coming directly from conversations with Reeves. But from the sound of it, both actors agree that trying to turn Constantine 2 into a Marvel-style thrill ride would kill everything that made the original special. 'It turns into an action movie, and not like going deeper and deeper into the characters. I think he [Keanu] wants to do this character again, Constantine, as grounded as it was in the first one. 'It took a long time to become a cult movie, it really worked, and it will work on the audience again. You don't have to add a lot of action and shootouts. You have other movies. 'Don't turn it into big Marvel… [Don't turn it] into us flying around in harnesses all the time and shooting each other up. Don't bring in the big guns. Let it be.' Lawrence, the director behind the original, seems to be on the same page. He's gone on record in the past saying that if they're doing a sequel, they want to do it their way, and go even darker and deeper this time. 'I certainly think there is a bigger fan base and certainly it's become a kind of cult classic, which has been really exciting to see and very strange, but it's something we've always loved… 'I'd say more than any of my other movies, Constantine has been something that I felt like was really worthy of a sequel. There is a world that you can really explore and there's a character that we certainly loved and really wanted to explore… 'So we're like, 'F–k it, let's go and do a sequel and really make an R-rated movie. Give us an R, let us make a real R-rated movie.'' So where does that leave Constantine 2 ? Still in development, for now. But it's clear that if Reeves is going to return, he's only doing it on the right terms, and that's reassuring because the last thing we need is another half-hearted reboot that forgets what made the original matter in the first place.

'Tell Me Lies' is returning for Season 3: New cast members, returning faces and plenty of toxic relationship drama
Tell Me Lies is returning to Hulu for Season 3, and with it, the most toxic situationship known to mankind. I am, of course, talking about the dynamic between Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen (Jackson White), who meet at the fictional Baird College and then proceed to hook up, break up and attempt to destroy one another … before repeating the cycle all over again. All the drama then bleeds over into adulthood, when the gang meets up again for the wedding of their college besties Bree (Catherine Missal) and Evan (Branden Cook) eight years after Lucy's freshman year — a flash-forward that we'll see more of when the show returns for Season 3. In the Season 2 finale, a voicemail from Stephen threatened to implode that relationship — and Lucy's friendship with Bree — moments before Bree was slated to head down the aisle. Classic Stephen. The series, which is executive produced by Emma Roberts and based on Carola Lovering's novel of the same name, has outpaced the book's narrative, meaning it's anyone's guess what comes next. However, we already have some juicy tidbits about the upcoming third season. Here's what you need to know before the series returns. Hulu renewed Tell Me Lies in December 2024, two months after its Season 2 finale. There's no release date for Season 3 just yet, but the show is currently in production in Georgia, where Agnes Scott College in Decatur is a stand-in for the fictional upstate New York college. There was a two-year gap between the first and second seasons of Tell Me Lies, so it's possible we may have a while to wait before new episodes arrive. One person who we're not sure will return is Thomas Doherty, who played Lucy's fan-favorite boyfriend, Leo. Unfortunately, Lucy dumped Leo in favor of getting back with Stephen at the end of Season 2. (Big mistake. Huge.) 'I wasn't actually too surprised about the fans' reaction to my character,' Doherty told Us Weekly. 'After Season 1, Leo just slotted into that gap. It made sense. What did surprise me was all the outpouring of love. It's really kind of overwhelming at times.' For fans of the actor, you can see him on another show: Doherty is joining the cast of Paradise Season 2 opposite Sterling K. Brown. One surprising returning love interest? Tom Ellis, who played college professor Oliver in Season 2. In the second season, married Oliver has a secret relationship with Bree (his wife's student!), which soured when it was revealed that his wife was well aware of the affair. Originally, Ellis — who is married IRL to creator Meaghan Oppenheimer — said that he would not be coming back to the series, but in a May 6 interview with People, he said he's returning to film Season 3 imminently. 'I've got to be honest, the focus isn't so much on my character this season, but it still plays very much into the Bree storyline,' he teased to the magazine. The Lucifer star also hinted there's more drama to come, calling the series as 'dark, toxic and funny' as ever. 'Just when you thought our characters couldn't do anything more ridiculous to themselves, they ended up doing it,' Ellis said. As Ellis promised, Tell Me Lies is diving deeper into Bree's storyline this year. Costa D'Angelo will play Alex, described by Deadline as a psychology grad student and part-time drug dealer who has a 'complicated past with Bree.' He also sounds a little bit like Stephen, as he's described as 'aloof and borderline rude' with 'hidden depths.' Let's just hope that, unlike Stephen, those 'hidden depths' don't reveal more narcissistic personality traits. Alex's addition is particularly intriguing for fans who are eager to know who Bree was having a tense phone conversation with on her wedding day. While some speculated it could be Oliver on the receiving end of the phone call, others thought the call could be connected to Bree's foster care past. Perhaps Alex is her foster brother or someone else she knew before her days at Baird?! Some of the Tell Me Lies cast is dating offscreen — like Van Patten and White, who, as of fall 2024, were still in a relationship. The two originally met around the time of the audition process and have been together ever since. 'Because we established that dynamic first season, the second season was a lot easier to switch on and off,' Van Patten revealed to E! News in fall 2024. 'And we're so different from these characters, so it's honestly just an opportunity to get all of our bad feelings out so that there's none left by the time we go home.' They're not the only members of the Tell Me Lies cast to have found love offscreen with their costar. Cook, who plays Evan, is dating Katherine Hughes, who portrayed his short-lived girlfriend in Season 2. Cook recently appeared in her birthday Instagram post, holding the cake.
