In the new series BRILLIANT MINDS, premiering on NBC Monday, September 23, with episodes then available for streaming on Peacock, Zachary Quinto stars as cranky but gifted New York neurosurgeon Oliver Wolf. BRILLIANT MINDS creator/executive producer Michael Grassi explains that the show was originally entitled WOLF but, due to Quinto’s past genre work (HEROES, AMERICAN HORROR STORY, STAR TREK, NOS4A2), prospective viewers thought it might be a show about a werewolf. The name was briefly changed to DR. WOLF, but that just made people think “Werewolf doctor. That’s not us.” Grassi has a lot of genre credits himself, having been […]Read On »

FX Networks and FX Productions’ CEO John Landgraf sounds very happy when he addresses the Television Critics Association in August, which isn’t surprising given what he has to say. “In the twelve years I’ve been at FX, I don’t think we’ve ever had a better first half of a calendar year than 2016, and I know we’ve definitely never had a better traditional broadcast year than the 2015-2016 season. In addition to the four TCA and two AFI Awards, we broke out own basic cable record with fifty-six Emmy Awards.” Landgraf credits Variety reporter Maureen Ryan with, in November, writing […]Read On »

In FX Network’s THE PEOPLE V. O.J. SIMPSON: AMERICAN CRIME STORY, Sarah Paulson plays prosecutor Marcia Clark, who is both horrified and astonished to see what seems at first to be a slam-dunk murder conviction mutate into a media circus and a referendum on gender, race and class. At more or less the same time that Paulson was working on AMERICAN CRIME STORY, she was also working on her fifth season of FX’s AMERICAN HORROR STORY – playing a different character each year, she’s gleaned three Emmy nominations for the series. Both series come from executive producer Ryan Murphy. Florida […]Read On »

SCREAM QUEENS, which has its two-huor first-season finale Tuesday at 8 PM on Fox Network, is brought to you by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, the same creative team behind GLEE.

Set in an upscale university, SCREAM QUEENS conflates the arrival of a devil-masked murderer with the order of the school’s Dean Munch – played by horror-movie icon Jamie Lee Curtis – that the most […]Read On »
