TV: ‘Supernatural’ Renewed, Latest ‘Eastwick’ Casting

Published

on

The CW is continuing their run of “Supernatural” as they’ve renewed the series for a fifth season this fall. The show stars Jared Padalecki (Friday the 13th) and Jensen Ackles (My Bloody Valentine). Slim at best are the renewal chances for “Reaper,” whose second season begins Tuesday. In addition, NBC is continuing to cast up their drama “Eastwick“, their TV series based on the movie The Witches of Eastwick. You can read all about the latest addition inside.
Lindsey PriceThere’s great news for fans of the movie “The Witches of Eastwick” and not-so-good news for the fans of NBC’s dramedy “Lipstick Jungle”: “Jungle” star Lindsay Price has been cast as one of the trio of witches in ABC’s drama pilot “Eastwick,” which is based on the 1987 feature.

Coincidentally, on “Eastwick” Price is in the same setup as she has been on “Jungle,” which also is centered on three female leads — not to imply anything about the powers of New York businesswomen.

The Warner Bros.-produced “Eastwick” follows three young witches who come into their powers. WMA-repped Price will play one of them, Joanna, a hardworking, shy reporter for the local newspaper. She joins Jaime Ray Newman, who was recently cast as a fellow witch.

Price’s casting on “Eastwick” is formally in second position to “Jungle,” which has not been canceled. The show, which wrapped its second season, has developed a passionate fan base but has lagged in the ratings.

A couple of weeks ago, Price was quoted laying out possible future scenarios for “Jungle” moving to Bravo, Lifetime or airing in a split NBC/DirecTV window similar to “Friday Night Lights.”

NBC co-chair Ben Silverman and programming chief Angela Bromstad also have said that NBC and sister studio Universal Media Studios, which produces “Jungle,” are looking to find a way to keep the series alive.

But the chances for a third season of the show seem to be getting increasingly slimmer.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:
