Paradise Season 1 Episode 6 Delivers Predictable, But Highly Satisfying Twist - Is Sinatra Playing Xavier?

2 days ago | tvfanatic.com | Paul Dailly

Critic's Rating: 4.75 / 5.04.75If there was ever an episode of TV that felt like a perfect season finale, it was Paradise Season 1 Episode 6. The hour had high drama, higher stakes, and a brilliant cliffhanger that changed everything. You could cut the tension with a knife, but why am I uncertain where the series can go next?
FOX Fall Schedule Includes Canceled NBC Series

3 days ago | tvfanatic.com | Paul Dailly

FOX is switching things up like never before during the 2025-2026 TV season, and it’s bad news for fans of scripted TV. The network will air just two live-action scripted dramas: Doc and Murder in a Small Town. The drama duo will air on Tuesdays, meaning every other weeknight will be devoted to unscripted offerings. After so many cancellations and so few scripted series in the network’s pipeline, it was inevitable that executives would reach this decision. But still, it stings for many reasons.

3 days ago | tvfanatic.com | Paul Dailly

NBC is the second broadcast network to confirm its plans for the 2025-2026 TV season, and there are some big changes. We’ll start with the good news. The network has confirmed renewals for freshman dramas Brilliant Minds and The Hunting Party. After NBC canceled Night Court, Found, Lopez Vs Lopez, The Irrational, and Suits LA, there was no indication whether any more shows would be in contention for a pickup.

Critic's Rating: 3.25 / 5.03.25Ever since news broke that Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan were joining forces for a spinoff of The Walking Dead, there were questions about how much Maggie and Negan were willing to put up with each other. Wild fan theories and speculation about the pair ensued, but The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Episode 2 highlighted their mutual goal of keeping Hershel safe.
Chicago Fire's New Villain? Budget Cuts Dressed as ‘The Padlock'

6 days ago | tvfanatic.com | Paul Dailly

It’s always fun to hear that your favorite show has been renewed, but for Chicago Fire fans, it’s a bit of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, we’re getting another season. But on the other hand, we’re losing at least two series regulars. That’s one way to smother all the excitement and make us wonder whether the show can recalibrate. It has survived many cast changes in the past, but audiences are becoming more fickle due to the many options available outside of broadcast TV.
TWD: Dead City’s Chaos Continues: Gaius Charles, Kim Coates & Dascha Polanco Spill on Season 2 Fallout Following Blood-Soaked Premiere

1 week ago | tvfanatic.com | Paul Dailly

If you thought The Walking Dead: Dead City was just another spin in the ever-churning The Walking Dead machine, Season 2 might pleasantly slap you across the face. We sat down with Dascha Polanco (Narvaez), Kim Coates (Bruegel), and Gaius Charles (Armstrong) to talk all things undead, ungovernable, and undeniably chaotic.
Ginny & Georgia Trailer Leaves Me Conflicted About Season 3 - And Beyond

1 week ago | tvfanatic.com | Paul Dailly

Ginny & Georgia has never been a series to shy away from complex topics, and the upcoming third season promises to be filled with them. Of course, Ginny & Georgia Season 2 wrapped with Georgia in handcuffs when she got arrested at her wedding after years of breaking the law. Despite her sunny disposition, Georgia has always had an underlying darkness that comes out to play when her back’s against the wall or if someone does anything to her children.
Bravo Renews and Revives Multiple Series, but Where's The Real Housewives of New Jersey?

1 week ago | tvfanatic.com | Paul Dailly

Bravo is swinging out of the gate this Wednesday with many renewals and revival news. As you can probably guess, the cable network will be bursting at the seams with reality TV over the next year, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s always fun knowing when our favorite shows are back, and let’s face it, Bravo is a way of life at this point. These shows present perfect escapism from our demented world, so they must stay in the air in some capacity.
Rescue Hi-Surf Can't Beat This Wave: FOX Drama Canceled After One Season

1 week ago | tvfanatic.com | Paul Dailly

We’ve been shocked by sudden cancellations this season, but FOX may have just taken the cake. According to Deadline, Rescue Hi-Surf has been canceled after its freshman season. While the decision comes as a shock given that its numbers were pretty respectable for a show on the network, it seems the decision was more about money than anything else.
The Equalizer Did the Best It Could With Last-Minute Series Finale, But I Still Want More

1 week ago | tvfanatic.com | Paul Dailly

Going into The Equalizer‘s unplanned series finale, I expected to yell a few expletives when the screen cut to black. I did the same last year when NCIS: Hawai’i was unceremoniously canceled after three seasons, and the finale dared to tease a new direction I’d never see. Fortunately, I left The Equalizer Season 5 Episode 18 with closure because the creatives must have known the writing on the wall when CBS sacrificed it to give Watson a better time period.
