The Blacklist Season 4 "Who is Liz's Father?" Promo (HD)

What perfect timing!! I was just about to ask when will there be a teaser/promo for the new season of The Blacklist during the Rio Summer Olympics. It has come and very little is seen, but I think that the only thing new from it is Spader looking around.

The images look shattered and why wouldn't it be with the season finale left us with glass all over the floor with the biggest twists. And looks like that we will get the answer to that question we all ask: Who's Liz's Father?

Well, it's now official that Showtime has renewed Homeland for two additional seasons beyond it's upcoming sixth season. The cable network confirmed the pickup Thursday at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.

"Homeland is a show that is constantly reinventing itself...since it's very much about this Intelligence world," said Showtime president David Nevin back in June during a conference call with reporters at the time when the rumor was spreading. "More than most, this is a show that has an open-ending expiration date, just because of the subject matter."

The announcement comes as Homeland begins production on it's sixth season, which is set in New York City and the chronicle the precarious two month period between Election Day and the swearing in of the new President of the United States Elizabeth Keane (Elizabeth Marvel).

New Romance in Chicago series

The crossovers on Dick Wolf's Chicago franchise has been the best in mastering the concept of television crossovers big, large, small or short no matter how you put it. But fans of Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. will see that the next level this coming season will deal with a cross-show romance.

Entertainment Weekly has reported that Chicago Fire's Sylvie Brett and Chicago P.D.'s Antonio Dawson will become romantically involved in the upcoming season.

"It started to gain some traction because of the actors," executive producer Matt Olmstead said to EW. "There's plenty to play in terms of the May-December version of Brett to Antonio- his character has a couple of kids, he's divorced, no way should he be with this woman, but she's had her heart broken. She's looking for a real man, he qualifies. He's looking for a real soul, a real heart and she qualifies."

Well, this isn't the first time that Fire and PD have explored romances across hours, from P.D.'s Lindsay and Fire's Severide that didn't work out, to Fire' Mouch and P,D's Platt got married.

"We like those inter-show romances," Olmstead said. "They can be hard to facilitate scheduling-wise, but they do work."

The one question that remains on this subject matter is how will Fire' Dawson, Antonio's sister, handle this?

"In the middle of it you have his sister, who works with Brett," said Olmstead. "So far it's been playing really well foe us, but there will be little brush strokes as we go along. We'll see where it goes."

You can catch the fourth season premiere of Chicago P.D. Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 10/9c and the fifth season premiere of Chicago Fire Tuesday, Oct. 11th at 10/9c both on NBC.

Blindspot Season 2 Comic-Con Trailer (HD)

It was the #1 new drama last season. Just last month, the cast and crew of Blindspot made an appearance at San Diego's Comic Con and released a first second season trailer for the fans that made the show a major hit.

 The second season looks like it starts in hyper-drive as Weller is not in the trustworthy mood with Jane as he found out that she's not Taylor Shaw. Now there needs to be some trust between Jane and the FBI and it'll probably take a while for Weller to do so. Plus there's a new guy that seems to be helping Jane with The Mission.


Checkout the trailer:


You can catch the season premiere of Blindspot Wednesday, Sept. 14th after the season finale of America's Got Talent at 10/9c and moves to it's new time Wednesdays at 8/7c 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.
