My Summer Binge Watch 2023, Part 1

 

With the fall season underway, I thought I would start with my summer of binge-watch. Check it out!

Chicago Med Cast Pandora Star for Recurring Role

 

On Wednesday, Deadline has reported exclusively that Pandora's Tehmina Sunny has been cast for a multi-episode arc opposite Nick Gehlfuss on the upcoming sixth season of NBC's Chicago Med.

Sunny will be playing Dr. Sabeena Virani. Superviving a clinical trial for a new medication, Dr. Virani approaches Dr. Halstead to lead the project.

The series is slated to begin production on the sixth season on September 22 in Chicago amid the stick COVID-19 protocols. It's set to premiere Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Sunny portrays Regan Fried in the CW sci-fi series Pandora, which was renewed for a second season. She has also been in films that include Argo and Children of Men. 

Sounds like an interesting character and one that we should keep an eye on when the season starts up. I haven't really seen her in much. But I'm looking forward.

My Top TV Shows I Hope Get Renewed

We're just days away from May, and while that means that summer is just around the corner, we television fans are on edge waiting for the news of our shows to either get renewed or canceled. Here's my top five list of shows that I hope to get renewed!

5. Indebted (NBC): While this might not be on anyone's list to watch, I enjoyed tuning in to watch Fran Drescher be Fran Drescher in this family comedy about how a son and his wife taking in his mother and father because they're in debt. You can catch episodes of Indebted available on NBC.com and the NBC app.

4. All Rise (CBS): This law drama feels like Judging Amy meets Boston Legal, but the ensemble cast is so good with very character-driven stories. While I'm drawn to the stories and characters, I'm more into the friendship of Judge Carmichael and DDA Cullen, which doesn't have a romance tied to it. You can catch episodes on CBS All Access, Google Play, or iTunes.

3. Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (NBC): The premise might seem out there, but go with me here: Zoey gets zapped while getting an MRI and develops these powers to see the people around her sing what they feel. This show is the perfect new series this season as it not only makes you laugh but feel and even makes you cry. I've cried a lot (like This Is Us type of crying). You can watch episodes on NBC.com and the NBC app.

2. Bluff City Law (NBC): This was one of my most anticipated new shows at the start of the season, and while it had so much promise, news broke the network decided not to go with more episodes they had ordered. I loved this series as it has great characters and stories, but the premise is so fascinating as it's like LA Law for the little guy in a way. Jimmy Smits and Caitlin McGee have fantastic chemistry. You can watch episodes on NBC.com and the NBC app.

1. Single Parents (ABC): It was last season, the radar series that won me over, and now I worry that this series could be on the chopping block. I love this series as it talks about single parents having this community of friends helping each other. If you like New Girl and Friends, this is the show up your ally. And Taran Killam and Leighton Meester steal the show with their brilliant chemistry. You can catch episodes on ABC.com, Hulu, or Google Play—three more episodes left of this season.
