Hey, "NCIS" fans. We're back on here to give you guys a new, quick spoiler scoop for CBS' hit crime/drama series NCIS. In this spoiler scoop, we were able to get some new details about who Agent Nick Torres was texting during the last episode 9 aka Fall finale episode. Yeah, Matt Webb over at TVLine.com got to chat up the showrunner for NCIS Steven D. Binder to get this latest piece of intel. During Matt's Inside line scoop session, one of their readers named Deb asked him the question, "Do we know who NCIS‘ Nick (aka “babe”) was texting with in the midseason finale?" Matt responded by telling her that we will actually get to see this person at some point in the future, and it's going to be someone we've actually met in the past. He also added that someone else in the squad room will be...

In case you haven't yet watched, we won't spoil you for the Person of Interest TV series finale, which aired last night on CBS. Since that drama show has drawn to a close, what will star Michael Emerson do next?

Fans of Lost would still love to see Emerson (Ben Linus) work with Terry O'Quinn (John Locke) again. TV Line's Matt Webb Mitovich asked Emerson if the time was right for the two work together on a new project.

To commemorate the five-year anniversary of the Smallville series finale, TVLine is republishing this oral history which was first compiled by Matt Webb Mitovich for the June 2011 issue of CBS’ Watch! Magazine (and has been enhanced for this update).

With those words, spoken by Jonathan Kent in the Smallville pilot, a new take on the superman saga found a home that would last for 10 years.

Developed for TV by Al Gough and Miles Millar, Smallville— which followed the adventures of Clark Kent in the fictional town of Smallville, Kan., before he becomes Superman — made its debut Oct. 16, 2001, on The WB.

The smoke has cleared — literally — and the rubble has been carted away from the blast site, but don’t assume that means that the three-month time jump between Quantico‘s second bombing and its midseason premiere provided much in the way of clarity or peace for Agent Alex Parrish.

“She told Simon to take his hand off the trigger,” star Priyanka Chopra reminds TVLine, referring to the moments following suspected terrorist Elias’ suicidal swan dive from a midtown Manhattan hotel. Alex was sure the threat had been mitigated. She was wrong.

The story of Abbie and Jenny Mills’ deadbeat dad has been canon since Sleepy Hollow‘s first season: Unable to handle his wife’s increasing mental instability, Ezra Mills bailed on his family when the sisters were young.

But what if Papa Mills’ story has gotten as twisted as every other historical tale the Fox drama tells?

“I think the hardcore fans have always wondered about Dad,” showrunner Clifton Campbell tells TVLine. “There was a picture painted of him early on that was the guy who ran off, who couldn’t deal, and who fled. It’s very nice to...

The holiday season is fully upon us, and Team TVLine has crafted a gift wish list that’s full of sex, revivals and crossovers and addressed to the TV Powers That Be.

Our small-screen desires for 2016 include a steamy "Good Wife" hook-up, a "Deadwood" return and one series’ overdue finale (because sometimes, a show just needs to be put out to pasture).

HBO’s The Leftovers is making a sudden arrival in awards season.

Nominations for the 2016 Critics’ Choice Television Awards were announced early Monday and Damon Lindelof’s dark dissertation on loss and grief led the drama field with an impressive six nominations, including best series, lead actor (for Justin Theroux), lead actress (for Carrie Coon), supporting actor (for Christopher Eccleston) and supporting actress (for Ann Dowd and Regina King).

The Leftovers‘ strong showing comes less than a week after HBO renewed the show for a third and final season (and just days after the series’ Golden Globe nomination shutout).

Team TVLine’s collective stomach may be overly stuffed with food this Thanksgiving, but our hearts will be pleasantly full of gratitude for the treats this year in TV has bestowed upon us.

During the fall, long-running dramas Scandal and The Vampire Diaries rediscovered their creative grooves, while summer brought us a hotter-than-ever bounty of addictive shows, from promising newcomers like UnREAL and Fear the Walking Dead to mainstays such as Suits and Penny Dreadful.

The network on Wednesday announced a straight-to-series order for Dead of Summer, a summer camp-set horror story written and executive-produced by Once creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis, along with Once writer Ian Goldberg.

Disclosure: TVLine editor-at-large Matt Webb Mitovich served as a consultant on the project.

Here’s the series’ official description, per the network:

Set in the late 1980s, school is out for the summer,...

Haven is returning to SyFy later tonight. The series is ending its run at the end of the upcoming episodes. Some viewers might have forgotten the series that stars Emily Rose, Lucas Bryant, and Eric Balfour. SyFy took the series off the network last year.

There is good news to go along with the bad news though. Fans worried that the series will end without closure can stop worrying. In a recent conference call, members of the cast teased that all the loose ends will be tied up before the final credits roll.

TV Line confirmed that when they spoke about the series in one of their spoiler reports earlier this week. Matt Webb Mitovich teased:

"I’d like to point out that Syfy’s Haven won’t be “leaving” viewers hanging when it wraps its five-season run (starting this Friday), seeing as...

Nominations for the fifth annual Critics’ Choice Television Awards were announced Wednesday, and the list is chock-full of first-time nominees from rookie hits and established series.

In something of a surprise, FX’s Justified parlayed widespread acclaim for its final season into a leading five nominations, including best drama series, lead actor for Timothy Olyphant, supporting actor for Walton Goggins (who’s also up for his guest work on Sons of Anarchy), supporting actress for Joelle Carter and guest performer for Sam Elliott.

ABC’s Galavant wrapped its eight-episode freshman run on Sunday night by installing a new face on the throne, leaving another princess to be saved and sending two frenemies on a slow boat to… where, Mist Haven? Who knows.

Here, TVLine’s two biggest Galavant fans (Galafans?), Editor-at-Large Matt Webb Mitovich and West Coast Reporter Rebecca Iannucci, reflect on the ambitious musical-comedy’s maiden voyage and express reservations about what any possible Season 2 would look like.

We come here to primarily celebrate ABC’s Galavant as a whole, though I admittedly came away from the finale feeling a bit “meh.

As reported by Matt Webb Metrovitch over at TVLine.com, “Episode 18 [of The Flash] will unleash on Central City a bee-a-utiful tech wizard who rocks oversized shades and red lipstick… and has devised a clever-slash-amoral-slash-wildly unstable scheme to weaponize bee-sized ‘bots.” In prior incarnations in the comics, the Justice League have faced off against a Queen Bee who is clever, amoral, attractive and has large eye coverings, resembling the compound eyes of many flying insects. So the description of the character is very similar. Also in the comics, Queen Bee employed weaponized insectoid robots as one of her means of attacking the League and conquering cities on Earth. This reminds me of Grant Morrison's glory days on Jla. If this is Queen Bee, I'm very excited. Even if it isn't Queen Bee, I have confidence in the producers, writers, cast and crew over at CW's 'The Flash' to make this an outstanding episode,...

But, according to Jessica Capshaw, ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy will be merciful to “Calzona” ‘shippers by keeping the separated marrieds… well, seperated in the wake of their heartrending break-up, when Season 11 resumes on Jan. 29.

“It’s respectful to the fans that really want them to be together,” Arizona’s portrayer told TVLine at a Television Critics Association press tour soiree, “because they don’t have to see them almost be together in every episode.

"Rizzoli & Isles" paid tribute to one of its own this week after the tragic death of Lee Thompson Young. The 29-year-old actor, who played Detective Barry Frost on the series, committed suicide earlier in the week. His body was discovered Monday morning.

On Tuesday night, the newest episode of his hit show paid tribute to him by dedicating the episode to him. A title card was put on the screen, displaying the words, "In Loving Memory of Lee Thompson Young 1984-2013." Two short and silent clips of Lee from the show were played, and then the screen faded to black.

The moment came at the end of the episode, which featured Young in his regular role. TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich felt this was a fitting way to deal with the tragedy. What's uncertain still is how the show will deal with his passing within the narrative.

Matt Webb Mitovich is an AwardsLine contributor. He has traveled to the moon, survived Alcatraz, put a few good men on trial and, yes, once almost got arrested for dancing. But in the course of more than 35 years of acting, one of the few things Kevin Bacon never explored was a TV role in a regular series—until Fox’s The Following invited him to hunt down a clever killer. Now, his turn as troubled FBI consultant Ryan Hardy could cop him his first Emmy nomination since the HBO miniseries Taking Chance. AwardsLine: What exactly was it that led you to your first series regular TV role? Bacon: You have to keep in mind that it was a different world when I started out.

As Olivia Pope on ABC’s Scandal, Kerry Washington – building on a career that has included Oscar-winning films such as Ray and Django Unchained - stands in the eye of a pop-culture storm, fronting a show that drops jaws with astounding frequency, makes Twitter all atwitter and offers, at long last, a chance for a black woman to win a lead drama actress Emmy. AwardsLine: You have said that your decision was not so much to do TV, but to do a Shonda Rhimes show. Kerry Washington: Even more so, my decision was to do this show.

PopMatters raves about Nicole Kidman's performance in "Stoker," argues she's worthy of an Oscar nomination. Oscar producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan defend host Seth MacFarlane against critics who they claim "missed the joke." Hollywood Reporter Matt Webb Mitovich defends Kickstarter donors experiencing a backlash after helping raise $2 million to produce a "Veronica Mars" movie: "No, the 'Veronica Mars' Kickstarters will never see even a fraction of a back-end point if the movie happens to turn a profit. But they will smile knowing that they were a part of something rather historical. A gone-too-soon series was plucked from the ashes not by a struggling network anxious to plug a scheduling hole, but by the very people who loved and were left to mourn it. Stand on a soap box and question the dissemination of discretionary income all you want, but do not dare rob other people of their self-defined joy.

From providing the inspiration for our adorable Golden Doodle’s moniker, to being the impetus for our first ever impromptu trip to San Diego Comic Con following an unexpected invitation by one of our favorite Warner Bros.

Direct from the pages of our brand new, just released, first annual, Fall TV Preview eBook appropriately titled “Thank Goodness It’s Fall” comes a closer look at ABC’s musically-infused nighttime sudser Nashville.

Names You’ll Know: Britton (American Horror Story, Friday Night Lights) continues to prove herself one of the small screen’s best assets; Panettiere does more with a simpering look than many can do with a page of bitchy dialogue; Jonathan Jackson (General Hospital) gets a shot at primetime fame; and Powers Boothe (Hatfields & McCoys) does the kind of malevolent manipulations his characters do best.

In A Nutshell: If you guessed that recovering addict Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and his sobriety coach, Joan Watson (Lucy Liu), travel about exchanging witty barbs, solving crimes and delving into their own complicated pasts, then you’ve either seen the pilot… or know a thing or two about CBS procedurals.

Alex Kingston (ER, Doctor Who) has been cast on NCIS.

In a November sweeps episode, the actress will play Miranda Pennebaker, a woman of questionable morals, executive producer Gary Glasberg told TV Line's Matt Webb Mitovich, who first reported the casting.

Pennebaker “deals in everything from high end weapons sales to priceless gems. Her connections go all the way up the ladder of D.C. politics, and Gibbs needs her for this very disturbing, emotional case.”

Kingston, who has also appeared on Law & Order: Svu, Private Practice and FlashForward, may even reprise the role at a later date, if Glasberg has his way. He must think pretty highly of her work this fall.

We’re back with another weekend edition of the Indie Spotlight. Today’s feature includes a new horror comic release from Monsterverse, a Cthulhu video game, a new Hershell Gordon Lewis book, and the latest indie horror movie news sent our way:

Flesh and Blood Volume 2: “Vampires! A Werewolf! And Baron Frankenstein collide in the second book of the award-winning graphic novel series from Monsterverse! Superbly written by Robert Tinnell. Illustrated with eerie elegance by Neil Vokes! Colored with a master’s passion by Matt Webb.

If you thought the first volume rocked the world of horror comic books and graphic novels, you will not be able to put down the second book which has more dark intrigue, heart-stopping action, epic adventure, sensual eroticism and shocking twists than ever before!

Plus two back-up features! Operation: Satan by Tinnell and artist Bob Hall and the new Frankenstein by Tinnell and Adrian Salmon.

Matt Webb Mitovich is Editor-At-Large at TV Line. Constance Langdon is not a neighbor you want to borrow a cup of sugar from, and you most definitely should beware when she comes bearing home-baked gifts (or, for that matter, “sweet breads”). And yet as portrayed by Jessica Lange, who came into American Horror Story with two Oscars and an Emmy on her mantel, the Harmon family’s oft unwelcome visitor did not repel, she but regaled us. Thus far, Lange has netted a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe for her first venture into series television — might another Emmy make her housewarming complete? Awardsline: When you first started seeing the American Horror Story scripts, did you suspect the role of Constance could be Emmy-worthy? Lange: I didn’t really know what to think. We were shooting really fast, so I don’t think anybody was thinking about the...

Matt Webb Mitovich is an AwardsLine contributor. Just as Nicholas Brody received a hero’s welcome upon being rescued from captivity in Afghanistan, Damian Lewis of Showtime’s Homeland has been met with plaudits for his riveting portrayal of the conflicted Marine sergeant, husband, father and… would-be terrorist. Lewis — going for his first Emmy nomination this year, having previously been nominated for the 2012 Golden Globes for playing Brody on this series and in 2002 for his role in HBO’s Band of Brothers — reveals how he makes the potentially reprehensible relatable. Awardsline: Your character for much of Season 1 had to keep us guessing about his agenda. How much did the producers share with you up front?

Garcia - most recently seen on Fringe and then Alcatraz - will guest star on one episode of the Showtime hit as someone from Faith's past.

Grace broke the news with a Twitter photo of the pair on set, while Matt Webb Mitovich of TV Line revealed the vague connection between the characters.

No decision has been made whether or not Ellis and Dev’s portrayers, Jaime Cepero and Raza Jaffrey, will return to wrap up their characters’ story arcs. Nevertheless, it appears the former’s days of hallway lurking, eavesdropping, and unpleasant scheming are numbered, while the...

Famed horror artist Dan Brereton provided the monster action for the cover of Volume 2 of Flesh and Blood, the acclaimed horror graphic novel series from Monsterverse, and of course we have a look at it right here!

Vampires, a werewolf, and Baron Frankenstein collide in the second book of the award-winning graphic novel series from Monsterverse, Flesh and Blood. Superbly written by Robert Tinnell and illustrated with eerie elegance by Neil Vokes, Book Two is colored with a master's passion by Matt Webb. If you thought the first volume rocked the world of horror comic books and graphic novels, you will not be able to put down the second book, which has more dark intrigue, heart-stopping action, epic adventure, sensual eroticism, and shocking twists than ever before!

It also includes two back-up features - Operation: Satan by Tinnell and artist Bob Hall and the new Frankenstein by Tinnell and Adrian Salmon.

Fringe is finally making room for its self-proclaimed biggest fangirl, Rebecca Mader.

The Lost alumna, who wears her obsession with the Fox thriller on her sleeve (and her chest; see the photo at right), will guest-star in the final two episodes of the season, TV Guide Magazine reports. She’ll play a strong woman somehow involved in a case that is linked to Big Bad David Robert Jones.

For those not aware of Mader’s undying devotion to Fringe, the actress recently gushed to TVLine’s Matt Webb Mitovich, “I just want to be on it… This show just blows my socks off.

Chuck‘s series finale is still two months away, but the first (somewhat biased) review is already in — and it’s a rave!

“I predict very few dry eyes,” executive producer and co-creator Josh Schwartz tells TVLine of the spy comedy’s Jan. 27 swan song. “Mine did [well up]; it was really emotional.”

Overall, Schwartz says the episode — titled “Chuck vs. the Goodbye” and penned by series co-creator Chris Fedak — is “really, really great” and serves as the perfect bookend to the show’s against-all-odds five-year run. “I think that every Chuck fan is going to be very satisfied.”

And while some...

A familiar face is returning to NCIS in January.

One left for dead the last time we saw her.

Sarah Jane Morris will reprise her role as E.J. Barrett, according to TV Line. E.J., who was gunned down in the Season 9 premiere, only to have her body then go missing, will be back for at least one episode.

“Last we saw E.J. Barrett, she was gunned down and left for dead. Then she disappeared!” executive producer Gary Glasberg tells Matt Webb Mitovich of TV Line. “In January we’ll find out what happened.”

Her return brings "answers to unresolved questions, danger, and intrigue ... Remember where we left off at the beginning of the season? Well, here we go, and we’re thrilled to have Sarah Jane back.”

Morris will appear in January, although it's not clear exactly when.

The Season 9 opener, "Nature of the Beast," which received mixed reviews from fans,...

"Sons of Anarchy" ran into a minefield -- literally -- in the episode that aired on FX on Tuesday, Nov. 15. During a raid on the Lobos Sonora cartel, the Samcro outlaw motorcycle club members and their allies wound up surrounded by explosives.

Unfortunately, Tacoma chapter biker Herman Kozik (Kenny Johnson) put a foot wrong and landed on a mine. Declaring, "You gotta be sh****ng me," he was promptly blown into pink mist -- except for the arm that landed on his recently suicidal fellow biker, Juice (Theo Rossi).

Yes, "Soa" killed Kenny.

The creator of "Sons of Anarchy" is Kurt Sutter. He was a writer on FX's "The Shield," which starred Johnson as Lapd Strike Team Detective Curtis "Lem" Lemansky, who died in a grenade blast.
