Despite focusing on the events of a November day more than five decades ago, the new series 11.22.63 feels thoroughly modern. Perhaps it’s because the eight-episode series will premiere exclusively on the streaming channel Hulu on February 15, or because the plot—based on a Stephen King story—uses time travel to put a ...

In 1973, New York City wasn’t much like it is today. Crime was rampant, the city was on the verge of financial collapse and the idea of a skyscraper as a place for international billionaires to park their fortunes hadn’t quite been perfected. But if there was one ... More

Working on the set of The Grinder—the FOX comedy that follows Rob Lowe’s Dean Sanderson as he decides to manage his family’s law firm after playing a lawyer on a hit TV series—Mary Elizabeth Ellis says she’s lucky to play a character (Debbie, the wife of Sanderson’s brother) who ... More

“Without sounding strange, I think I’m one of the most curious people on the planet,” Theo Rossi says. Rossi, who’s perhaps best known for his role as Juan Carlos “Juice” Ortiz on the FX Series Sons of Anarchy, is referring to his latest project, the film Bad Hurt. “I’m so interested in ... More

Seven years after being sentenced to prison, Bernie Madoff is back. This time, in a two-night ABC miniseries, premiering on February 3.

As the very first episode makes clear, however, this is a situation that won’t ... More

Now entering its third season, the Starz series Black Sails has made a name—and an army of fans—thanks to its visually stunning portrayal of 18th-century pirates in the West Indies. And there’s perhaps no pirate more compelling than James Flint, a captain played by the dashing Toby Stephens. Here, the actor—who also ... More

London Spy is less Spectre than it is unexpected. In the new drama—imported from the U.K. by BBC America and premiering January 21—it’s more so the private life of the titular secret agent Alex (played by Wolf Hall’s Edward Holcroft) and not his on-the-clock adventures that drives the drama. Indeed, it’s a ... More

Almost everything on the new Showtime series Billions, premiering this week, is impressive. Whether it’s the real estate where the series is shot—like an $82 million Hamptons spread that makes an appearance in the pilot—or the toys that the show’s hedge funders play with, there isn’t much that’s ...
