Dick Wolf recently received two phone calls from NBCUniversal, one with good news and one with bad.
The good news is that Law & Order: SVU was renewed for a record-breaking 28th season. The bad news is that SVU OG Chris Meloni’s spinoff, which airs on Peacock, was not picked up for a sixth season.
Even though Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, FBI, and CIA will be back in the Fall, Wolf is still sitting by the phone waiting to hear if Law & Order: Mothership will be joining all of his other shows. Dun Dun.
When SkyMed, a medical procedural about an air ambulance company in a remote part of Northern Canada, ended its third season, several cast members exited. So I wondered how the series would go on with almost half of the leads moving on.
Today, we found out when Paramount+ released a trailer for the upcoming season. They will be adding several new faces to the show. However, those rookies will not make things easy on the OGs, and that is going to lead to mistakes being made, which could lead to people dying.
The new additions are: Lauren Lee Smith joins in a recurring role as Captain Riley – a globe-trotting pilot with a past connection to Wheezer (Aaron Ashmore). Additional newcomers include Shawn Ahmed as cocky Flight Nurse Zay Patel, Leishe Meyboom as spirited rookie Flight Nurse Piper Adler, Alexander Eling as charming First Officer Wyatt Ellis, and Cecilia Lee as ambitious Pilot Maya Chang.
Joan Collins and her husband, Percy Gibson, met up with her, The Royals’ daughter, Elizabeth Hurley, and her boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus, for dinner. And they had a “Super evening.”
However, I wonder how super it was. Why? Because the photos that the legendary actress shared show the two women with the other one’s man. So, I imagined them as Swingers. They are not! But it is fun to think that they are having some Primetime Soap Opera storylines going on!
The Fockers are back for a fourth time, and there is a new member joining the family! Her name is Olivia Jones, but you know her as Ariana Grande. She is hoping to have Ben Stiller as her Focker-In-Law because she is dating his son, Henry (Skyler Gisondo) and he is ready to propose to Olivia.
Well, she doesn’t want him because she is more like Robert De Niro, which is why he loves his granddaughter-in-law-to-be. At least, that is what it looks like from the hysterical trailer for the film, which comes out on November 25th.
This is the third Thanksgiving in a row that Grande has spent in movie theaters. The last two were with Wicked and Wicked: For Good!
