Simmons, Fernanda Urrejola, Isabelle Anaya, Allen Leech, Graham Patrick Martin, Andres Velez, Olivia Simmons, Kevin Quinn Writers: Carolyn Carpenter, Michelle Schumacher Director: Michelle Schumacher Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: May 17, 2024 There are few things that are certain in life or in cinema. However, something we can all depend on is that if J.K. Simmons is playing a character, we will believe him completely. Therefore, it stands to reason that if Simmons is playing a terrifying psychopath, we will be duly frightened. This is a key strength of YOU CAN’T RUN FOREVER.

ABC’s series THE ROOKIE is now on Tuesday nights in its sixth season, available the next day on Hulu, and has been renewed for a seventh.
