It seems like 150 years since we last had the opportunity to watch a new episode of Doctor Who — and in a sense that’s how long it has been given the most recent show to feature Matt Smith’s Time Lord was the Victorian-era set special Christmas episode, “The Snowmen.”

But on March 30 at 8 p.m. ET, Doctor Who will finally return to BBC America and kick off the show’s 50th year with a run of eight shows. In next week’s Entertainment Weekly, we will be marking the start of the second half of the current season — and its big birthday — with a Doctor Who cover story. But right now you can further whet your Who-petite, by exclusively checking out the trailer for the new eight shows. Take a look below and tell us what you think… READ FULL STORY »

Original programs like Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and The Walking Dead are among AMC Networks’ success stories on its namesake channel — and now the company is beginning to branch out, bringing scripted originals to its Sundance Channel as well. The two-part miniseries Restless, starring Downton Abbey‘s Michelle Dockery, premiered on the Sundance Channel last December; Jane Campion’s Top of the Lake will bow in March.

Next on the list: Rectify, a six-episode series created by Oscar-winning filmmaker Ray McKinnon and produced by Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein — the celebrated team behind Breaking Bad. The story follows Daniel Holden (Aden Young), an alleged murderer who finds himself exonerated and released from prison after 19 years on death row.

“You’ll often see somebody who gets out of prison, exonerated or not, and somebody will say, ‘What do you want to do now?’ And he’ll say, ‘I want a steak dinner and to go see my mother. What Ray said [to me] is, ‘I want to know what happens the next day,’” Johnson said in a phone interview, explaining what drew him to the series.  READ FULL STORY »

'Community': Jeff Winger does not believe in Changnesia -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

Tags: , , , ,

Don’t forget: A new episode of Community airs tonight at 8 p.m. on NBC, and it delves into the mysterious neurological/psychological condition known as “Changnesia,” which Chang, er, Kevin (Ken Jeong) claims has robbed him of his memory, including all the horrific things that Kevin, er, Chang has done to our study group. Seeking a grant for Greendale from the MacGuffin Neurological Institute to fight this “terrible disease,” Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) commissions Abed (Danny Pudi) to make a propaganda film about the issue to help secure the funds. Abed, however, is determined to create a documentary that represents all viewpoints on the issue, including the one held by Jeff (Joel McHale), which is that Kevin’s pants are currently engulfed in flames.

Check out the following clip from “Advanced Documentary Filmmaking”, in which Jeff  — flabbergasted that everyone seems to be buying Kevin’s tragic story — tries to persuade Shirley to help him stop the feigned madness. READ FULL STORY »

'Veronica Mars' movie is a go! 'My mind is blown' says Rob Thomas -- EXCLUSIVE

You did it, Marshmallows!

Less than 11 hours after Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell announced a Kickstarter campaign, fans have raised the $2 million necessary to finance a Veronica Mars movie. It’s officially on!

“My mind is blown. I’ve been fantasizing about this and had to tell myself, ‘Stop it, Rob, you’re being silly. You’re setting yourself up for disappointment,’” the Mars creator tells EW. “And now today has exceeded the wildest pipe dream I let myself entertain. Holy cow. We better make a good movie. These amazing fans have stepped up. We better deliver.”

“I knew Veronica Mars fans were cool, but I had no idea they could rally with such power. They are unstoppable — just like Veronica. I will have a permanent blush on my face, feeling so lucky to be associated with this entire thing,” says Bell.

The goal was to raise $2 million in 30 days. Warner Bros. Digital Distribution has agreed to put the movie into production and pick up the tab for marketing, promotion, and distribution. But exhibiting a passion that broke Kickstarter records in just six hours, fans have been flocking to the site since the page went up at 7:30 a.m. PT.  And even though the goal has been reached, pledges can keep coming in.

In a previous interview with EW,  Thomas spilled details about the upcoming movie’s plot, which will include — no surprise — murder, mystery and a high-school reunion. It will film this summer and be released in early 2014.

Don’t know what all the fuss is about? Now is the perfect time to catch up: The entire three-season run is streaming in full over on TheWB.com (the show originally aired from 2004-2007).

TBS comedy Sullivan & Son is about to get Chang-ed!

EW has learned exclusively that Community fan-fave Ken Jeong is set to appear in a second-season episode of S&S, set to air in the summer.

He will play Jason, Steve’s (Steve Byrne) doctor brother-in-law whose workaholic ways are putting strain on his marriage to Steve’s sister, Susan (Vivan Bang). So Susan enlists Steve’s help in getting Jason to unwind, but the plan backfires when Jason begins to reject his old life entirely.

Jeong currently appears on NBC’s Community as former professor/security guard Ben Chang, and is well known for his appearances in the Hangover films.

UPDATE: The “Veronica Mars—the Movie” Kickstarter campaign has now reached its fundraising goal of $2 million.

A long time ago, we used to be friends, but I haven’t thought of you lately at all…

For some, that’s the opening line to a tune by The Dandy Warhols. For others, that’s the beginning to the theme song of a cult classic TV show that has never left their thoughts: Veronica Mars, the sophisticated teen drama/mystery serial starring Kristen Bell (Showtime’s House of Lies) as a strong and spirited new-model Nancy Drew whose adventures explored and exposed the rotten, complex injustice in her seaside town of Neptune, Calif. Ever since The CW canceled the series in 2007 after three seasons (the first two on UPN), can’t-let-go fans have pined for a movie. So have Bell and Mars creator Rob Thomas. “I have never fallen so deeply in love with a character,” Bell tells Entertainment Weekly. “ We all became so close, and the cancellation of the show left a huge hole in my heart. I would have put on Veronica Mars: The Circus to bring it back.”

'The Following' scoop: Meet Joe's second-in-command, Roderick -- EXCLUSIVE

The cult on Fox’s The Following grows with every episode and this week we finally met someone the followers have been discussing but have never seen: Roderick (Warren Kole). Basically the second-in-command to Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), Roderick made his debut on tonight’s episode and shockingly revealed that he’s actually a man of the law and policing the town where the cult has made its headquarters. EW talked exclusively to Kole about this character and what’s ahead for Roderick and The Following.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This show is so secretive. Did you get any details about him?
WARREN KOLE: It’s funny. I was able to talk with Kevin [Williamson] and with Fox a little when they were looking to introduce this character. In the audition, I went in and read to give an idea of what I was thinking of. But the part I created in the read, once I arrived on set, had absolutely nothing to do with who this guy actually was. So it was more just a quality they were looking for. They were looking to me to dive in once I got there. That’s sort of how Kevin works and how the show works. It’s a challenge for all of us to sort of sit there and bite your nails and wanna know more but you’re gonna find out what you find out when you find out. READ FULL STORY »

'How I Met Your Mother': Ted meets Future Ted and Future Barney -- EXCLUSIVE PHOTO

Tags: , , ,

The March 25 episode of How I Met Your Mother won’t mark the first time the show has played with time-travel (See: season 5′s “The Window”) but it could be the greatest!

In the episode, Ted will meet future versions of himself and Barney, who show up to try to convince him to attend Robots Versus Wrestlers. (See an exclusive photo below.) As we know, this isn’t the first time Ted has been reluctant to attend the awesome-filled event. Back in season 5, he ditched the event — missing the chance to meet his Mexican wrestler doppelgänger — and instead chose to go to a fancy party. Lame, Ted. Lame.

Here’s hoping he makes a better decision this time around. Actually, we know he eventually does, since Ted previously stated that the event turns into an annual tradition for the gang. READ FULL STORY »

Thought that things were going to calm down at Seattle Grace now that all that sale business is done? Think again.

In fact, it seems the transition is going tougher than everyone imagined — especially poor Avery and Owen. On one end, Avery was unexpectedly thrusted into this position of power — and we’re not even sure he wants it. Meanwhile, Owen killed himself trying to keep the hospital afloat during tough times, and he’s still being looked at as the bad guy!

The pressure of it all is going to get to at least one of them and result in a big resignation. How do we know? We watched the exclusive clip below from next Thursdays brand new episode of Grey’s Anatomy.

Check it out for yourself and make sure to tune in March 14 to see if [spoiler]‘s “I quit” declaration sticks. READ FULL STORY »
