Family Law Season 4 Set for Summer Premiere on The CW — Get Details
Jewel Staite and spy law daddy Victor Garber will practice more Family Law when Season 4 of the series airs Stateside on The CW this summer.

Save the Dates: Sterling K. Brown's Washington Black Premiere, New Dora Movie and More The Bear Season 4 Trailer Reveals Fallout After Carmy and Syd Receive Damning Restaurant Review As Season 4 kicks off, 'Abigail's (played by Staite) home, work and romantic life are up in flames,' the official synopsis tells us. 'Her boyfriend Ben (Benjamin Ayres) has fallen off the wagon, Sofia (Eden Summer Gilmore) has written a devastating essay about her mother's alcoholism, and Harry (Garber) has passed her over for equity partnership. 'Abby decides to give Ben a second chance – though it only leads to more disappointment,' the overview continues. 'Later, sparks fly when she meets someone new and unexpected, but is she ready to date again?' 'Professionally, Abby's concerns about a major development at the firm are ignored, forcing her to make a decision that sends shockwaves through the office – and her family. Meanwhile, Harry and Joanne (Lauren Holly) manage their breakup poorly, until they both have experiences that make them reevaluate what truly matters. At work, Harry's plan for a lucrative merger with a rival law office looks like a sure thing until it forces him to make an impossible choice.' Additionally, 'Daniel (Zach Smadu) mourns the end of his 'relationship' with Martina (Miranda Edwards) by having a one-night stand, and his life is further turned upside down when Jude shares life-changing news with him. Lucy (Genelle Williams) ends her relationship with the manipulative Kelly (Aliyah O'Brien), but the break-up leaves her wracked with self-doubt – until she's upfront about her insecurities on a podcast, which leads to exciting opportunities and possible romance.' Family Law Season 4's awaited Stateside premiere date comes one week after The CW announced it had picked up two seasons of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, and with the netlet yet to make a decision on airing Season 3 (or even 4) of Wild Cards, which recently got a 2x renewal in Canada. Family Law Season 4 has yet to air in Canada, though I am told that news on that front may arrive in the coming weeks.

A Handmaid's Tale Casualty Breaks Down the ‘Slightly Telepathic' Moment Right Before [Spoiler]'s Death
The Handmaid's Tale One of the most enigmatic — and frustrating — characters in The Handmaid's Tale met his end in this week's episode. More from TVLine Save the Dates: Sterling K. Brown's Washington Black Premiere, New Dora Movie and More The Handmaid's Tale Kills Three Major Characters in Last Episode Before Series Finale - Read Recap The Bear Season 4 Trailer Reveals Fallout After Carmy and Syd Receive Damning Restaurant Review Nick Blaine was killed when his plane blew up, courtesy of a bomb that High Commander Lawrence placed in order to kill a bunch of Gilead leaders. A shocked June watched as the explosion, which also ended the lives of Lawrence and High Commander Wharton, lit up the skies over Boston. (Read a full episode recap here.) Nick, played by Max Minghella, started the series as the Waterfords' driver but ascended to commander over the course of six seasons. His relationship with Elisabeth Moss' June was a complicated matter that involved fathering one of her children, assisting her efforts to escape from/bring down Gilead and then betraying her at a crucial point in the rebellion. When I spoke with Minghella about that relationship-ending duplicity earlier this season, we also discussed Nick's final moments. And now that his alter ego has been killed on-screen, I'm able to share. Read on for Minghella's thoughts on his last scenes in the series, which will come to its conclusion next week. TVLINE | In Episode 9, Nick is getting on the plane, and he pauses, but he does not see June hiding in the hangar. Did you guys shoot a version where they make eye contact?MAX MINGHELLA | No, we we didn't. But it's definitely supposed to be a moment of, like sort of a slightly telepathic moment. There's a word — I'm not smart enough to know what the word is. [Laughs] But human beings can actually sense when they're being watched, like we actually do sort of have eyes in the back of our heads. So I think that's all it is. It's a sense, a presence. I thought it was a really interesting idea from Lizzie (Moss, who directed the episode) to do that. TVLINE | When did you know that Nick wasn't going to make it out of the series alive?Well, you know what? Normally on The Handmaid's Tale, I don't have any idea what's going to happen episode to episode. I've always been quite happy to be blind to it and go with the flow. This year, I happened to work on a project with Lizzie in between seasons. [Editor's note: The project was Shell, a comedic horror film that Minghella directed and in which Moss starred.] So we were together a lot, and just from hanging out, I ended up hearing a lot of it. So this year, I did sort of know quite a lot of the arc of the character. But it was just circumstantial — it wasn't for any other reason. TVLINE | No spoilers here, but before the series ends, a character tells June that Nick would've chosen her if he ever had a choice. I'm interested in what you think of relationship to June is the only sunshine in his life, and it's his motive for everything. And so, I think that's absolutely right. Got thoughts on Nick's death?
