There’s quite a bit of television news this morning, none of which is all that excited. Thus, here’s a small batch of TV Bites to kickstart your morning.

First, we’ve uploaded a trio of Spanish TV Spots for NBC’s “Hannibal”, premiering April 4 from showrunner Bryan Fuller (“Mockingbird Lane,” “Pushing Daisies”). It focuses on the fledgling relationship between FBI agent Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), his mentor. Other key cast members include Lance Henriksen (Near Dark, roughly 8% of horror movies in general), Gillian Anderson (“X-Files”), Gina Torres (“Firefly”), “Wonderfalls”’ Caroline Dhavernas and Ellen Muth (Dead Like Me).

There’s also now an official one-sheet for Netflix’s original series, Hemlock Grove,” pictured above, which comes from producer Eli Roth. You’ll also find the previously released trailer here. The pilot was directed by Eli Roth and co-written by Brian McGreevy. Dougray Scott and Famke Janssen also star in this new television series that will premiere exclusively on Netflix April 19. “The series revolves around the murder of a young girl found close to the former Godfrey steel mill. The suspects in her killing include Peter (Landon Liboiron), a 17-year-old Gypsy kid from the wrong side of the tracks, and Roman (Bill Skarsgard), the arrogant Godfrey Scion, whose sister Shelley is disturbingly deformed and whose mother, Olivia (Janssen), is the beautiful and controlling grand dame of Hemlock Grove.

“Fringe” alum Seth Gabel is headed to another potential genre series with a co-starring role on the ABC drama pilot “Gothica,” reports Deadline. Set in the present day, the project weaves together a mythology that incorporates the legends of Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein and Dorian Gray. It centers on journalist Grace Van Helsing (Janet Montgomery) who takes over her family’s hometown newspaper. They also report that Aaron Yoo (21) has been cast in the CW drama pilot “The Tomorrow People.” Written/exec produced by Phil Klemmer based on the cult British series, exec produced by Julie Plec and Greg Berlanti and directed/exec produced by Danny Cannon, “Tomorrow People” is about several young people from around the world who represent the next stage in human evolution and work together to defeat the forces of evil.

Romantic Revenge Thriller ‘Love Lies Bleeding’ Starring Kristen Stewart Is Now Available at Home!

Love Lies Bleeding featurette - Love Lies Bleeding VOD

After earning rave reviews on the festival scene before landing in theaters last month, Love Lies Bleeding, a revenge thriller from Saint Maud director Rose Glass, has released at home on VOD this week.

Love Lies Bleeding is now available for digital purchase ($24.99) and rental ($19.99)! We’ve also learned that the film is coming to Blu-ray on June 6, 2024.

Katy O’Brian stars alongside Kristen Stewart (Underwater) in the upcoming film from A24, which is said to be “a romance fueled by ego, desire and the American Dream.”

I wrote in my Sundance review, “With a visionary at the helm and an impressive cast willing to follow along with every wild turn thrown at them, Love Lies Bleeding makes for a captivating ‘80s set crime thriller unafraid to get deeply weird and ultra-violent.” Expect things to get weird and violent: “That it devolves into madness, complete with humor and surreal imagery, means that it’s the precise type of gonzo cinema that’ll likely prove divisive. But Glass makes it so easy to fall on this movie’s wavelength, and the unpredictability of it keeps you deeply invested and often breathless from the suspense.”

In the film, “Reclusive gym manager Lou falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Las Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family.”

Kristen StewartKaty O’Brian (“The Walking Dead”), Dave Franco (“The After Party”), Ed Harris (“Westworld”), Anna Baryshnikov (“Dickinson”) and Jena Malone (“Goliath”) star.

Acclaimed director and double BAFTA nominee Rose Glass teams with A24 and Film4 for the new film. Glass directed from a script she co-wrote with Weronika Tofilska.

A24 produced alongside Andrea Cornwell for Lobo Films and Oliver Kassman for Escape Plan Productions. A24 will handle the global release of the film.
