The Further
[TV] Extended New Look At CBS’ “Extant” and “Stalker”
CBS is giving us in depth looks at two upcoming genre series, the Halle Berry vehicle “Extant,” plus Kevin Williamson’s new series, “Stalker.”
“ Extant’ is a mystery thriller about a female astronaut, Molly (Halle Berry), who is trying to reconnect with her family when she returns after a year in outer space. Her experiences lead to events that ultimately will change the course of human history.”
Goran Visnjic portrays John, Molly’s husband; Pierce Gagnon plays their son, Ethan; Louis Gossett, Jr., plays Quinn, Molly’s father; and Camryn Manheim plays Sam Barton, Molly’s best friend. Michael O’Neill and Grace Gummer also co-star. Guest stars include Josh Malina as Dr. Scott Beck, the lead doctor in an emergency room of the near future.
“Extant” premieres on Wednesday, July 9th, at 9/8c on CBS.
“ ‘Stalker’ stars Maggie Q and Golden Globe Award winner Dylan McDermott in a psychological thriller about detectives who investigate stalking incidents – including voyeurism, cyber harassment, and romantic fixation – for the Threat Assessment Unit of the LAPD. Det. Jack Larsen (McDermott) is a recent transfer to the Unit from New York City’s homicide division, whose confidence, strong personality, and questionable behavior have landed him in trouble before – but whose past behavior may also prove valuable in his new job. His boss, Lt. Beth Davis (Maggie Q), is strong, focused, and an expert in the field, driven by her traumatic personal experience as a victim.
With the rest of their team, young but eager Det. Ben Caldwell (Victor Rasuk) and deceptively smart Det. Janice Lawrence (Mariana Klaveno), Larsen and Davis assess the threat level of cases and respond before the stalking and intimidation spirals out of control, all while trying to keep their personal obsessions at bay.”
“Stalker” airs on Wednesday nights at 10/9c beginning this fall.
Get ready to explore Raccoon City and sample a Jill Sandwich this summer. Universal Horror Unleashed is bringing the world of Resident Evil to life with a new limited-time experience inspired by Capcom’s iconic survival horror franchise.
From July 9 through August 30, 2026, the Resident Evil takeover will transform Universal Horror Unleashed into an interactive journey through Raccoon City, where guests will travel across six themed zones as they work to contain the T-Virus outbreak.
The experience is included with General Admission tickets to Universal Horror Unleashed.
Guests will venture through six story-driven zones inspired by the world of Resident Evil. Expect to see the iconic characters, too.
As the press release details: “Beginning their journey in Zone 1: Arrival, they are greeted with a battered “Welcome to Raccoon City” sign. As emergency lights flash, police scramble to contain the rapidly spreading outbreak caused by Umbrella Corporation’s T-Virus. From there, fans move to Zone 2: Mission, where they arrive at the Raccoon City Police Department, ready to solve a series of interactive puzzles. As they race against the clock, they’ll enter Zone 3: Infection, where they must enter the heart of the infected zone – a quarantined spot in Raccoon City where the last remaining citizens have transformed into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies. Amid the chaos, they’ll see familiar faces like the infamous Ada Wong.
“Pushing through the outbreak, they’ll enter Zone 4: Combat and come face-to-face with iconic characters from the Resident Evil franchise, including Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine and Leon S. Kennedy. As terror turns into adrenaline, guests will be at the forefront of the battles between these heroic characters, surrounding zombies and notorious villains. Once the dust settles, guests will be invited to take photos and interact with the characters. As they approach Zone 5: Escape, guests enter the final stretch of their journey, where they must survive the final mission.
“Those who survive will enter Zone 6: Aftermath, where they can step inside Umbrella Corporation and dine on limited-time themed food and cocktails for purchase inspired by the T-Virus and its mutations – but they must be on the lookout, as they never know who may emerge around the corner…”
As for Raccoon City-themed snacks, feast on the following if you survive:
- Jill Sandwich: Brioche, hickory smoked bacon, bibb lettuce, heirloom tomato chutney, avocado mousse, and black garlic aioli served on a medical-grade surgical tray.
- The Sewer Special: Beer-battered cod, cajun fries, house tartar, and lemon sofrito served on a medical-grade surgical tray.
- Brain Freeze: Ube gelato, mango gelee, chocolate feuilletine, raspberry sauce, coco nibs, and chocolate shard served in a souvenir beaker
- The Umbrella: Tequila, pineapple thai chili syrup, lime juice, grapefruit soda, garnished with a “rotten” pineapple and umbrella
It’s a fun way to celebrate the video game franchise that’s celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. And ahead of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil no less.
