The Blacklist Season 4 Poster




On Wednesday, the first poster for the fourth season of The Blacklist was released.

Megan Boone shared the poster on Twitter.

The image is pretty clear with Red and Liz together and the question on the right side saying "Who's Your Daddy?" Asking if Alexander Kirk is Liz's true father. I'm not so sure he really is with the treatments he's been seen taking.

Here's the poster:



You can catch the season four premiere of The Blacklist Thursday, Sept. 22 on it's new time 10/9c on NBC.

The Good Place: A Comedy Inspired by Lost




On Tuesday, the creator and cast of The Good Place was at the Television Critics Association talking about the new series that in some way is like another series, Lost.

The NBC series, from the co-creator of Parks and Recreation Michael Schur, stars Kristen Bell as a woman who dies and accidentally winds up in the Good Place due to a clerical error. Ted Danson plays a Good Place manager who realizes he's in way over his head on this one.

It's left with the TV critics to wonder whether the whole first season of 13 episodes will be a "chaotic" as the pilot. 

"This show is never going to be a 'was, rinse, repeat' kind of show," said Schur at the TCA. 

The Good Place pilot is a "pretty good template" for what is contained story in which something dramatic happens at the end "that ends it spiraling to a different place," he explained. 

The model of the show is in some ways to Lost, which is only the second other new NBC show of the three fall series (This Is Us) whose creators have said at the TCA their show is like Lost. 

"I love that show," Schur said of Lost.

He loved it so much that Lost co-creator and showrunner Damon Lindelof was one of the first people he sought out for guidance as he was working on this new NBC series. 
"We're going to play a game called 'Is This Anything?" Schur said he told Lindelof. "He gave me a lot of wonderful advice."

That included a recommendation that Drew Goddard directed the pilot; he's an executive producer of the series too. 

Schur says that the first season was "carefully piloted" so it didn't fly off the rails. Not to mention that he didn't pitch the series to NBC until  he knew what the whole season would be about.

Goddard mentions Kristen Bell makes being bad look charming. 

Bell says her character will struggle with trying to earn her spot in the good place. Her favorite thing about her character, Eleanor, is "that she just lets her tongue loose." She "has no edit button and she says what she feels."

We've been hearing from the promos of what the bad place sounds like, but Schur won't confirmed that we'll see the bad place this season.

And not to mention that there will be life flashbacks for several of the characters in the first season.

The season contains only 13 episodes and will not get picked up for any additional episodes. 

The Good Place will premiere on Monday, Sept. 19th at 10/9c after The Voice and moved to it's regular night Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c after Superstore on NBC. 


Chicago Med: 6 Things Learned About Season Two





On Tuesday, Dick Wolf and the cast of Chicago Med were at the Television Critics Association press tour for the new season. We get some juicy new details for season two.

"Going into season two is because we actually have the tools in our bag and we don't have to learn all of these things from a cold start," said star Colin Donnell telling reporters. "But we're only improving, I think, as we continue to live in the characters' skin more. Our writers are creating better and better story arcs for us. Everything has forward motion, which is awesome."

With that here are six more teases of what to expect this season:

Dr. Reese is still out at the hospital

After rejecting her pathology match in favor to work in the ER so she can interact more with patients, Dr. Reese (Rachel DiPillo) was basically unemployed at the end of the first season.
"When we see her at the beginning of this season, she's working as a barista," said Wolf. "But she ends up coming back...She won't stay a barista."

Dr. Rhodes's New Mentor

After not only watching his mentor die, but traveling to a tropical island to spread his ashes, Dr. Rhodes (Donnell) has now switched to cardiothoracic surgery going into season two.

"Dr. Rhodes has chosen a different path in the hospital and he actuall has a new mentor," said Donnell.

Here comes Vinyl and Elementary star Ato Essandoh, who plays an African-American Jewish doctor and Dr. Rhodes' new boss.

"He fits right in with out quirky little family," Donnell said of the new member.

A (Short?) Truce with Dr. Halstead

Dr. Rhodes and Dr. Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) "actually pick up in a good spot this season - I think Halstead and Rhodes are in a good place where they are colleagues," said Donnell. "We've put some things behind us. I'm sure the relationship will grow and fall apart and grow and fall apart....It wouldn't be fun if we're weren't butting heads a little bit."


New Chief Resident

Dr. Choi (Brian Tee) gets a promotion at the beginning of the second season.

"He feels like he knows how to run a good ship," said Tee, referencing his character's experience in the U.S. Navy. "Within an ER department or within the hospital, it really is the nurses that run the ship. There's a lot of conflicting ideas."

Just because he's been bumped up doesn't mean the end of his season one issues, his struggle with his PTSD from his service days. Which also means more of the bird that helped Dr. Choi deal with it at the end of season one.

"The bird is still around," Tee said. "Stealing scenes left and right."


April's Health

When we last left at the end of season one, April (Yaya DaCosta) was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

"She's not contagious at this point, so the antibiotics she's on is not only curing her, but making it that it stays dormant so that she can continue to work," said DaCosta.

So what could this mean for April's love life, mainly after her boyfriend proposed?

"It's definitely been a huge distancing for her and her boyfriend. He keeps trying but she's definitely keeping her distance because she is paranoid," said DaCosta. For six weeks, she hasn't really that much and he's having a hard time with that."

Four Show Crossover:

A four show crossover was originally planned for Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, Med and Law & Order SVU for February. But because of the complicated logistics, it was scrapped for two show crossover between SVU and PD. Although Chicago Justice does not launch until midseason and Wolf has his eye on a four show, Chicago universe crossover.

"It's very complicated to figure out," Wolf said. "It's a question ov how intensely would a crossover story impact on all four shows. It may not be as totally integrated as the SVU crossover was last year. It's a little premature, but I think there will definitely be a four-way sometime in the spring."

As for integrations between the four Chicago series, where one character from Fire could appear on PD, or a doctor might visit Justice, Wolf said that the possibilities are endless.

"I think the integrations can be as seamless as they've been for three or four years now."



Chicago Med returns this fall on it's new night, Thursday, Sept. 22 at 9/8c on NBC.
