Any chance of a Wes and Cam hook-up on FBI: International? Since they matched with each other on a dating site in Episode 5, I was wondering if that was maybe foreshadowing. –Elizabeth
I delivered your Q to Vinessa Vidotto, who plays Cam, and after a good chuckle, she said, “I think that [dating app match] was just for fun. But who knows! It could take a turn. The writers, they’ve got big, crazy ideas…. When I read it, I was like, ‘I think this is just to create fun banter,’ but you never know.”
Anything on FBI? –J.J.
John Boyd told me that there is “a cool Scola episode coming up” in which “we find out that he went to a military school upstate, and it relates to a case. We find out a little more about his history, being a misbehaving youth, why his parents would have sent him there…. It’s a really dark episode.”
Any scoop on Hondo and Nichelle in upcoming episodes of S.W.A.T.? –Adriana
Rochelle Aytes has been busy with her role on CBS’ Watson, and S.W.A.T. has yet to steal her back for an appearance, so off-camera Nichelle continues to be Hondo’s wife and mother to little Vivvie, and “the woman Hondo goes home to every day,” says showrunner Andrew Dettman. But if it’s romance you’re looking for, know that “Alfaro is going to find ‘twin-flame vibes’ with an interesting woman, launching a relationship that will greatly complicate his work life,” Dettman previews. “And a little later on, Tan will continue to advance his relationship with journalist Olivia Navarro” — though one now has to wonder about their future, given that actress Emily Alabi just joined FBI.
In The Night Agent‘s Season 2 finale, did the character of Professor Cole die? I didn’t see him with his wife and daughter…. –Joey
I was rooting for the guy, too, in part because he was played by The Shield‘s Jay Karnes. But as showrunner Shawn Ryan confirmed for Inside Line, “The professor was beaten pretty savagely by one of the bad guys, and killed — but his death allowed his wife and Rose to escape. It was a noble sacrifice.”
Now that All American‘s Jordan and Layla are married and have a new house, what’s next for the couple? –Moozanna
We can’t say too much, but Episode 2 of the CW drama’s new season (airing Monday, Feb. 10 at 8/7c) will get #Jordayla thinking about another major relationship milestone on the horizon.
Did NCIS: Origins ever explain what Mary Jo telling Gibbs, “You’re not alone…” [at the end of Episode 4] was all about? –Dee
Nope, the freshman drama has yet to pull at that thread — but maybe it will in the back half of the season. Kyle Schmid, who plays Franks, told me, “I don’t think you’ll have to wait until Season 2 to get a better idea of who and why Mary Jo is the woman that she is, the glue that holds NIS together.”
Is CBS picking up DMV starring Tony Cavalero that filmed a pilot last fall? –Kyle
I’m hearing that it’s too early to make a call, with the network waiting to assess the other pilots and potential spinoffs that haven’t been shot yet.
Are there any good Burgwater scenes to look forward to on Chicago P.D.? –Demar
There will be “a lot” of Burgess and Atwater content coming up, especially when his love interest, Val, returns and “we get to see that relationship and what that looks like and how it morphs,” showrunner Gwen Sigan previews. “[It was] definitely presented in the episode where we first met Val as this off-switch. ‘It’s gonna be no strings attached, it’s gonna be fun. It’s gonna be something just for the two of us.’” Now the question is, “Can that sustain? Is that the most long-term situation?” Sigan shares. “So we get to see that relationship morph quite a bit over the next few episodes for Atwater. And then Burgess is, really, sort of his confidant, his sounding board, for all of that. He’s not being too open with everyone else on the team about what’s going on, but she is pressing him to be, so he ends up opening up to her.”
Will the reason Bella started speaking again on NBC’s Found was because she changed her name to Lacey? –Ivan
I understand that you got your answer last night! (I haven’t watched yet. Was your speculation spot-on?)
Hey! I just watched the latest Severance, and have so many questions about Gwendoline Christie and the goats. For one, why was she so mean to Mark and Helly? –Craig
I asked EP Ben Stiller why the “Mammalians Nurturable” department offered no welcome wagon to their visitors, and he explained, “They’re unfriendly because they’re isolated from the other departments that we’ve seen. Lumon works things where they keep people isolated, which creates divisiveness between the departments so people don’t get together — though we still don’t know why.” As for the casting of Christie, “I just wanted her to be in the show, because she’s a great actor, just incredible,” Stiller said. “She fills her role with such compassion and strength, and she’s an important part of our show.”
When will Silo Season 3 be on Apple TV+? I absolutely love this show, and am eagerly awaiting Season 3. –Caroline
Production on Seasons 3 and 4, which are being shot back-to-back, started months ago, so I am going to boldly predict a Season 3 premiere date of… “Early 2026.” (Another December premiere just feels a smidgen too ambitious.)
I was wondering if you’ve got any scoop on Sweet Magnolias’ Ty and Annie? What does their relationship look like in Season 4 (releasing Feb. 6)? –Cassie
The handholding you witnessed between Ty and Annie in the Season 3 finale was definitely a sign of more good things to come for Serenity’s second most overdue pairing — only behind Helen and Erik, of course — but that doesn’t mean everything will be smooth sailing for the duo in Season 4. With Ty newly graduated and Annie figuring out her own next steps for college, they quickly discover that how they feel about one another is the least complicated part about their relationship.
Is Euphoria filming yet? –Sam
Well, the plan was to get the cameras rolling on Season 3 by the end of January — and sources tell me the HBO series is right on schedule (give or take a day).
What’s the outlook for Skeleton Crew Season 2? I know the numbers weren’t great, but it was a fun, new kind of Star Wars. –Claire
No decision has been announced yet, one way or the other. But at the very least, co-creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford very much have a plan for more. “We know exactly what we would want to show, we have figured all of that out,” Watts told me at season’s end. But what would a Season 2 look like, you might ask, now that At Attin’s secret is out, the Supervisor seemingly slain? “What’s so fun about it is At Atiin has lost its protective nest, its childhood. The planet gets to be an awkward teenager,” says Ford. Adds Watts, “The parents now have to grow up, which is an interesting wrinkle to the concept we explored in the first season.”
Any news on when Vought Rising will start filming? –M.E.O.T.D.
I asked around about the Jensen Ackles/Aya-Cash-led prequel series, which was ordered back in July, and… nope, there is no SOP (start of production) to report yet.
