REASONABLE DOUBT begins its second season Thursday, August 22 on Hulu as part of the streaming network’s Onyx Collective.

REASONABLE DOUBT centers on Los Angeles top attorney Jax Stewart, played by Emayatzy Corinealdi. Jax is married to Lewis, played by McKinley Freeman. They have two young children together, Naima (Aderinsola Olabode) and […]Read On »

ABC’s SCANDAL, which has its third-season finale Thursday April 17 at 10 PM, is famous for its plot twists.

At ABC’s party for the Television Critics Association at the Beverly Hilton, a lot of SCANDAL cast and producers are hanging out together at one end of the ballroom, celebrating star Kerry Washington’s Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama nomination and the show’s overall success in general. Naturally, no one – certainly not Tony Goldwyn, who plays U.S. President Fitzgerald “Fitz” Grant – is going to give out any Season 3 spoilers. However, he is willing to tease Fitz’s state of mind following the bombshell events that ended Season 2. ASSIGNMENT X: Are all of the things that happened in […]Read On »
