While they try to save the world their way, the government has its own approach, with Deputy Secretary of Defense Harris Edwards spearheading the top-secret plan to deflect the asteroid.

Once Upon A Time…

Posted on by

Naika Toussaint has finished shooting a RECURRING GUEST role on the final season of ABC’s hit show Once Upon A Time – episode #719 & #720.

 

The ABC series which is currently in its seventh season, will end its run with the current season according to Variety. Filming began on July 6, 2017 and lasted until April 6 2018.

The seventh season of the American ABC fantasy-drama Once Upon a Time was ordered on May 11, 2017. It consists of 22 episodes, airing on Fridays, having premiered on October 6, 2017.

This season marked a significant change for the series, as it was announced at the end of the sixth season that the majority of the main cast members would not be returning for season 7. Lana Parrilla, Colin O’Donoghue, and Robert Carlyle were the only ones remaining. Andrew J. West and Alison Fernandez were announced as new regulars in May 2017. Dania Ramirez and Gabrielle Anwar were announced as additional regulars in July 2017. In August 2017, it was announced that Mekia Cox had been promoted to series regular after initially joining the cast in July as recurring.

The storyline was softly rebooted with a main narrative led by an adult Henry Mills, set several years after last season’s events. In February 2018, it was announced the seventh season would serve as the final season of the series.

“Once Upon a Time” airs Fridays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

It’s A Take!

Posted on by

Everrett Shea has just finished shooting a role on Episode #101 of ABC’s newest crime comedy-drama Take Two.

The Disney-owned network, following a lengthy casting search, has handed out a straight-to-series order for Take Two, a procedural starring Rachel Bilson and Eddie Cibrian from Castle creators Andrew Marlowe and his producing partner (and wife), Terri Edda Miller.

The drama hails from Tandem Productions, StudioCanal and ABC Studios in what is said to be a groundbreaking co-production structure. The series has been prepackaged with worldwide rights and will air on ABC in the U.S., RTL/Vox in Germany and France Television in France. StudioCanal will serve as the lead studio. ABC Studios affiliate Disney Media Distribution will handle international sales.

Premise:
The series will centre on Sam (Bilson), a former star of a hit cop series fresh out of rehab, and Eddie (Cibrian), a private investigator. They team up to solve crimes, with Sam doing the job as research for a potential comeback role.

In an interesting spin on the crime genre, Take Two follows the unusual partnership between the pair. Eddie is a private investigator who prefers to work on his own, and Sam’s only experience comes from the couple-hundred episodes of a hit cop TV show she starred in. Despite Eddie’s initial resistance, he allows Sam to shadow him in order to help her research for a new role to restart her career. To his surprise, Sam actually ends up being a big asset in a high-profile case. The attention the duo get from the media ends up sending a wave of new clients their way.

Bilson was most recently seen playing Alyssa Green in Season 5 of CMT’s hit country music drama Nashville. She also starred as Dr. Zoe Hart in four seasons of The CW’s Hart of Dixie, and appeared in Drunk History. Cibrian played Jesse Cardoza in CSI: Miami and most recently was a series regular on Rosewood.

Take Two season 1 will continue filming in Vancouver and British Columbia until July 23rd.

WATCH FACEBOOK WATCH!!!

Perryn Thiessen and Lea Matina will both be busy filming a role this month on Sacred Lies – an upcoming American drama web television series that is set to premiere with a first season of ten episodes on Facebook Watch.

This is Facebook’s first foray into scripted television content. Facebook launched their video on demand service, called Facebook Watch, in August 2017.

On January 16, 2018, Facebook announced that they had given the production a series order consisting of a first season of ten half-hour episodes. The series is set to be written by Raelle Tucker who will also executive produce alongside Scott Winant, Jason Blum, Marci Wiseman, and Jeremy Gold. Tucker is also set to act as the series’ showrunner and Winant will direct the first two episodes. Production companies involved in the series include Blumhouse Television, a subsidiary of independent film company Blumhouse Productions.

The project reunites Tucker and Winant who previously worked together on True Blood. Winant, who won two best directing Emmys for Thirty Something along with earning seven Emmy nominations, served as director on all seven seasons of True Blood, while Tucker served as a writer-executive producer on the first six.

Story: 
Based on the classic Grimm Brothers tale The Handless Maiden, and Stephanie Oakes’ novel The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly, and adapted and updated by Tucker, Sacred Lies is about a handless teen who escapes from a cult and finds herself in juvenile detention, suspected of knowing who killed her cult leader.

“This a young female protagonist we’ve never seen on screen before,” said Tucker. “She’s complex, brave, funny…and sometimes dangerous. And she has no hands. But she refuses to let that, or her bizarre, brutal past define her or limit her. That’s the message of our series: no matter what life throws at you – ultimately only you have the power to decide what you believe and what you become.

Elena Kampouris (Before I Fall), Kevin Carroll (The Leftovers), Kiana Madeira (Dark Matter) and Ryan Robbins (Sanctuary) are set as leads.

Toby Huss also joined the main cast in a series regular role and Katrina Law and Leah Gibson had been cast in recurring roles.

Principal photography for season one began on March 15, 2018 in Vancouver, Canada and is set to last until May 25, 2018.
