The new sci-fi-ish drama series Reverie, starring Sarah Shahi (Person Of Interest), Dennis Haysbert (24), Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes), Jessica Lu (Awkward.), and Kathryn Morris, starts tonight (2nd August) at 9pm. The first two episodes will be shown back-to-back to kick things off.
England actually had something that could really be called a summer. It was seriously hot for a couple of weeks. It being July, the entertainment industry is relative cool on the news front though, but here is the latest update on the Cold Case cast members that aren’t Kathryn. John Finn (John Stillman in CC) has been announced has a significant new cast member of the long-running AMC series The Walking Dead. Season 9 starts in October and is due to see some major changes in the acting line-up. John will play Earl, a blacksmith, and Brett Butler (Grace Under Fire) will be his wife Tammy Rose. Minority Report star Samantha Morton also joins the show as the leader of a new faction. These round-ups are collections of news from the just-ending month. They are not exactly ‘breaking news’ but we appear to have done just that in the June edition. A few hours before posting the previous CCCC-up, Danny Pino (Scotty Valens in CC) announced on social media that he would be starring in the 3rd season of the Netflix comedy One Day At A Time. It was a couple of days before the more traditional news media picked up on the story. Yeah us! Later in the month it was confirmed that Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero from Brooklyn Nine-Nine will also guest star, alongside singer Gloria Estefan. The show returns in 2019. Just over a month to go until the new FX series Mayans MC debuts and a trailer has been released. See it HERE on YouTube. Danny stars in the spin-off of Sons Of Anarchy. It will launch on the 4th of September. We’ve been mentioning the movie The Basement now since 2016. The Mischa Barton starring horror/thriller, which includes Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC), has had a tortuous (pun intended!) history but in April it was given a September release date. We now know it will get a theatrical (as in, in cinemas) outing and be made available on VOD services on the 15th of September. Back in March Tracie’s episodes in season 3 of UnREAL appeared on the Lifetime channel. By then it was known that there was only to be one more season of the show and that it had already been filmed. It is not expected to be broadcast by Lifetime until next year. However, it was also said that the streaming service Hulu would release the show before then. Much to many peoples’ surprise that happened a couple of weeks ago. Speaking of Hulu, they have a new original drama series called The First due to start in mid-September. The 8 parter is about the first manned mission to the planet Mars. Channel 4 in the UK are also involved so it is likely to get a release here on that station. The show is by the House Of Cards creator of Beau Willimon. Sean Penn (Mystic River) and Natascha McElhone (Designated Survivor) lead a cast which includes Melissa George (Alias). Tracie is down as being in two episodes. There is a trailer for the The First HERE on YouTube. We don’t often get to mention Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera in CC) in these CCCC-ups. This one is no exception but he did get his own special post at the weekend due to an interview he’d done in which he mentioned Kathryn in a couple of his answers.
The Standard being The St. Catharines Standard newspaper from the area of Ontario, Canada, that Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera in CC) hails from. Jeremy is from Kitchener, which is around 60 miles from St. Catharines, which is just a long stone’s throw away from the famous Niagara Falls. Normally I wouldn’t reference a newspaper interview like this but The Standard has published Joel Rubinoff’s interview with Jeremy, which is part of a series of interviews with significant locals involved in the arts and entertainments sector, in which he mentions Kathryn several times. From the transcript Joel and Jeremy had an interesting and entertaining chat a little outside the normal brief career summary, refer to thing they are known for, tell us about your latest project, celebrity interview. I’ll leave you to read the whole thing HERE on The Standard’s website. On KM UK we’ll focus on the Kathryn references. First up Joel asks about Jeremy bringing up 3 boys.
I know we’d all listen to that! It is nice to learn that the ex-workmates are in regular contact still. Next up are some less than predictable ideas from Jeremy in answer to one of the few more predictable questions:
Head of the FBI is not currently the sort-after job it was back in 2010. Did we ever see Scotty (Danny Pino) show an interest in magic. And what’s organic magic? Making free-range carrots disappear? We definitely want to see John (John Finn) as a serious ‘Deadhead’ and the team reunite to find Big Foot Thanks to Joel and Jeremy. Yes, I’ve noticed the Catharines/Kathryn thing
Without spoiling it for anyone that hasn’t seen it, ‘Despedida’, made references to the military’s use of the Onira-Tech’s VR technology. It was a good reference. It was very much an angry one too.
Update (1st August): A 3 minute-long clip from this episode has now been added to the Gallery. It shows Sarah Shahi’s Mara explaining to the team what happened to her at the end of the previous episode. Kathryn does not feature.
We had the channel (SyFy) and the date (August 2nd) for the première of season one on this side of the pond. Previously I’d written that this would be very soon after the show ended in the America. That was before I’d realised the 4th of July holiday week would delay the finale by a week, which will cause a small overlap. Now we have a time of day and an additional promo video to go with it, though KM UK is a little late in bring this to you as there have been more pressing matters.
I feel that the promo videos that SyFy has put together are definitely playing up an aspect of the show, perhaps because they are a more specialist channel where as NBC in the US is more mainstream. The new one builds on the first one, with a bit less of the Better Off Ted-style fake corporate video and more of a darker elements of the stories. The butterfly features a lot again. To recap: Reverie, UK SyFy channel, 9pm, Thursday 2nd of August, two episodes. The new video is, of course, in the KM UK Gallery HERE. |
