ABC’s new drama Forever centers on a New York City medical examiner Dr. Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd) who’s also immortal. He uses his experience from his long, long life — 200-plus years — to help solve the cases he’s presented. There are some constants to the mythology of Henry Morgan: Whenever he dies and shows up in another place and time, he always arrives in water and he’s always naked: “A little something for the audience,” quipped executive producer Matt Miller.

And he won’t die in every episode. Even though Henry Morgan is immortal “the character experiences the pain of the death. We don’t want to kill him every episode — give him a week off. I think he dies three or four times in the pilot which is a bit much,” Miller said. Later in the series, Morgan will experience only “special occasion deaths,” Miller said.

But any explanation of why he’s immortal will unfold very slowly: “Not over 13 episodes or even a full season,” Miller said.

Miller said he thought about the concept of immortality and realized that it would mean the pain of watching one’s own children grow old and die. He said that reality informed the decision to make the character a medical examiner, obsessed with studying the human body so he might break his own “curse” of immortality.

Forever premieres at 10 p.m. ET/PT Monday, Sept. 22 on ABC and moves to its regular home at 10 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23.

English’s Savage City comes Busted: A Tale of Corruption and Betrayal in the City of Brotherly Love, the shocking true story of the biggest police corruption scandal in Philadelphia history. It’s a tale of drugs, power, and abuse involving a rogue narcotics squad, a confidential informant, and two veteran journalists whose reporting drove a full-scale FBI probe, rocked the City of Brotherly Love. The series is based on the police crime thriller written by Wendy Ruderman and Barbara Laker.

Man Seeking Woman, the comedy series starring Jay Baruchel that FX ordered to pilot earlier this year, has now taken one huge step further. FXX, the FX sister network, has given the show a ten-episode order and added the quirky half-hour comedy to its 2015 lineup. According to FX, Man Seeking Woman is “a sweet and absurd look at the surreal life-and-death stakes of dating, and centers on Josh Greenberg (Baruchel), a naive romantic on a desperate quest for love.” Along with Baruchel, the series will co-star Eric André (The Eric André Show, Don’t Trust the B– in Apartment 23), Britt Lower (Unforgettable) and Maya Erskine (Betas).

The pilot was written by Simon Rich, formerly of Saturday Night Live, and with Baruchel, who is wickedly funny, in the lead, it seems like a no brainer that this one was given a ten-episode order.

Man Seeking Woman will premiere on FXX in 2015.

Emilia Clarke is one of the hottest young actresses working today. Her break through role came on HBO’s most popular show of all time, Game of Thrones, where she plays the dragon queen Daenerys Targaryen. While that show is on hiatus, Clarke has taken on a couple of other big time projects. She is traveling from the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros to Italy for 1950s-set psychological thriller Voice From The Stone in the fall. She’ll topline the adaptation of Silvio Raffo’s award-winning Italian novel La Voce Della Pietra, about a nurse who helps a boy through the traumatic sudden death of his mother only to become ensnared by a malevolent force inside the family’s castle.

Clarke will also be taking over the mother of the year role as Sarah Connor in a new Terminator,a quasi-reboot/sequel/relaunch of the beloved Terminatorfranchise, and is meant to spark a new trilogy. Arnold Schwarzenegger is reprising his role as the titular killing machine, and will be joined by new cast members.  Jai Courtney (A Good Day to Die Hard) is taking on the role of Kyle Reese, and Jason Clarke (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) will play future version of Sarah’s son, world-saving resistance fighter John Connor.The film is set to open on July 1, 2015

Game of Thrones Blooper Reel

The 2014 Comic-Con in San Diego wrapped up this past weekend and those in attendance were treated to a Game of Thrones blooper reel. Season 4 of the dramatic and fantastical hit  television series was one of the best yet and the actors got to show their comedic sides off with this low-light reel of some of the shows most hilarious moments. Enjoy!

Kate Lyn Sheil (House of Cards, You’re Next, V/H/S/) has joined Kristen Stewart (Twilight) and Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class) in the futuristic love story, Equals.

Equals, which starts shooting in August in Japan and Singapore,is set in a society where emotions have been eradicated, and tells the story of Silas (Hoult) who lives in a future society called The Collective. The inhabitants of this modern world are a new breed of humans called Equals. Equals are peaceful, calm, fair and polite. Life in The Collective is perfect; there is no greed, no poverty, no violence and no emotion but a new disease is threatening everyone. SOS or Switched On Syndrome is activating in its victims everything they thought they had escaped: depression, sensitivity, fear & love. Once a person is overtaken with SOS they are sent away to The Den and never seen again. When Silas is infected, he becomes an outcast, but he notices one person who seems to understand what he’s going through. Nia (Stewart) has feelings, but she seems to be able to hide them. When he confronts her, they discover a connection that quickly takes over everything. They feel love and intimacy for the first time in their lives but the only way for them to insure their survival is to escape.

There’s no word yet on what kind of character Sheil will be playing — we just know that her part is named “Kate.” Will she fall victim to SOS, too? Or is she going to help bring down the film’s illicit lovers? We can’t wait to find out.

A Long Way Down, based on Nick Hornby’s novel, is the story of four lost souls — a disgraced TV presenter, a foul-mouthed teen, an isolated single mother and a solipsistic muso – who each decide to end their lives on the same night, New Year’s Eve. When this disillusioned quartet of strangers meet unintentionally at the same suicide hotspot, a London high-rise with the well-earned nickname Topper’s Tower, they mutually agree to call off their plans for six weeks, forming an unconventional, dysfunctional family, becoming media sensations as the Topper House Four and searching together for the reasons to keep on living.

The movie opens in theaters today July 11 and stars Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), and British actress Imogen Poots.
