There were plenty of new experiences that came along with Hannah James’s role on Mercy Street, the new PBS period drama that follows two opposing volunteer nurses through the Civil War, especially considering it marked her first appearance on television. But there was at least one thing about filming ... More

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 ...

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

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
