Here are some pictures that surely don’t lack bite.
NBC has issued a few first look images for its upcoming limited series “Dracula”, which, as the title suggests, is a new take on Bram Stoker’s classic vampire tale.
Jonathah Rhys-Meyers stars in the adaptation which takes the viewer back to the late 19th century. The the mysterious Dracula has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. He’s especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which promises to brighten the night – useful for someone who avoids the sun. But he has another reason for his travels: he hopes to take revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier. Everything seems to be going according to plan… until he becomes infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.
Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Jessica DeGouw, Thomas Kretschmann and Katie McGrath co-star.
And here are two more pictures.

The song is over.
After two, let’s face it, very uneven seasons, NBC has decided to pull the plug on its musical drama “Smash”.
This pretty much concludes NBC’s pre-upfront business. A decision on “Hannibal” is not expected until after the upfronts.

And another one that was very much on the bubble just saw it burst.
After three seasons, ABC has officially canceled medical crime drama “Body of Proof”.
Also gone is “The New Normal”, over at NBC.

Shonda Rhimes is doing the happy dance.
The creator and executive producer of hit dramas “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal” has just tweeted that both shows have been picked up for next season. That means season 10 for “Grey’s” and a third season for “Scandal”.
Also, “Castle” is coming back for season 6 next year.
And over at NBC, word has just come in that negotiations have been fruitful, and that “Community” has officially been renewed for a fifth season.

Well, the fun is about to start.
The upfronts are fast approaching, and it’s about the time when the networks will have to make decisions – what to keep, what to toss, and what to pick up.
Good news comes from the offices at ABC. Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva reports that the Alphabet is currently mulling a two-season renewal for its successful procedural “Castle”. Additionally, “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Scandal”, “Once Upon A Time”, “Revenge”, “The Middle” and “Modern Family” are considered locks for renewals, as are reality formats “Shark Tank”, “The Bachelor” and “Dancing With The Stars”, with the latter maybe getting less episodes in its next edition.
Well, the upfronts are slowly arriving, and with it, I will be posting more news again, now that I have some free time coming.
To start things off on a very good note: NBC has renewed five shows. “Grimm”, “Chicago Fire”, “Revolution”, “Parenthood” and “Law& Order: SVU” are all coming back in the fall. Continue Reading
