Ever since Halle Berry won the Oscar, her movie career has stalled. So I guess that played in her decision to return TV.
She will be storming back to our television sets next summer in the Stephen Spielberg produced Extant on
CBS.
Here’s the description from the press release, “Berry will play an astronaut who returns home from a year-long solo mission in space and tries to reconnect with her husband and son in their everyday life. Her experiences in space and home lead to events that ultimately will change the course of human history.”
This is Spielberg’s second show airing on CBS next the summer, the first was the highly successful Under The Dome that’s returning for its second season. From the description of Extant and knowing how amazing Under the Dome us, I think CBS might have a stronger summer lineup than the winter one. I don’t even like Berry and I want to see her new show.
Who knew summer television could be must watch? I guess CBS finally realized it.
