NBC has set Thursday, May 22 for the Season 4 premiere of Canadian medical drama series Transplant. It will air as a two-hour event from 8-10 pm and stream next day on Peacock.

Season 4 picks up with Bashir “Bash” Hamed (Hamza Haq) on the precipice of finishing his residency at York Memorial and officially requalifying as a doctor. With his future uncertain once again, Bash and his sister, Amira (Sirena Gulamgaus), are Canadian citizens now, but are still trying, with everything they have, to build a life in their adopted country.

Transplant centers on Dr. Bashir “Bash” Hamed (Haq), a Syrian doctor with battle-tested skills in emergency medicine who fled his country with his younger sister, Amira (Gulamgaus). Together they struggle to build a new life in Canada as Bash strives to rebuild his career in medicine.

In addition to Haq and Gulamgaus, the series stars Laurence Leboeuf, Ayisha Issa, Jim Watson,...

NBC announced today it will premiere the fourth season of the medical drama series Transplant on Thursday, May 22, as a two-hour event (8-10 p.m. Et/Pt). The episodes will air the next day on Peacock.

Grant Gustin revealed his initial reaction to The Flash's "Duet" episode. Fans consider that Supergirl crossover a highlight of the Arrowverse, especially Kara Danvers and Barry Allen's musical number.

The Flash was the best show in The CW's Arrowverse. Fans went through a rollercoaster of emotions across nine seasons of The Flash, especially its crossover episodes. Season 3's "Duet" caught audiences by surprise, however; the plot involved Kara Danvers and Barry Allen trapped in a musical dreamworld. "Duet" was surreal because it broke from the show's grounded narrative, but audiences loved the novelty. Critics praised "Duet" for its lighthearted tone and endearing ensemble, but Grant Gustin had reservations about filming that episode; he told Michael Rosenbaum that "Duet" was an odd turn for the show.

Related'Changed My Life': Grant Gustin Reflects on The Flash Role on 10th Anniversary

Grant Gustin reflects on starting his run on The Flash on the Arrowverse show's 10th anniversary.

The CW's The Flash Star John Wesley Shipp has talked about the immediate connection he had with his co-star and fellow Barry Allen actor Grant Gustin. Shipp starred as the titular DC character in 1990's The Flash CBS series before returning to play Gustin's father, Henry Allen, in the Arrowverse.

The Flash franchise veteran Shipp discussed the length of his tenure as the Scarlet Speedster and his relationship with his co-star Gustin at Megacon. In response to Cbr's question about how long he has been involved with the character, he stated, "35 years. As many years as Grant Gustin has been alive." Shipp continued, "It was an immediate connection. This is a guy who's a truthful actor. He knew I'd been the Flash, and I knew what he was taking on." In addition to playing Barry Allen in CBS' The Flash and Henry Allen in The CW's iteration, Shipp also starred as Jay Garrick,...

Having played the iconic DC character the Flash longer than anyone, Grant Gustin has now given insight into how he kept the Scarlet Speedster fresh for so long. Gustin played the Barry Allen incarnation of the character in The CW's The Flash for nine seasons and also appeared in crossovers and other shows across the Arrowverse.

Gustin told Cbr at Megacon that the show retained its freshness because he took the responsibility of playing the Flash seriously. "It was never an intentional thought about how to keep it fresh," he began. "I'm a very scene-by-scene actor. I wanted to keep it realistic. The only reason I did a decent job with the show is I took it very seriously. Try not to suck." Gustin's dedication to playing the Crimson Comet has always been evident in interactions with fans throughout his years of playing the character in the show that ended its run two years ago.

NBC’s Transplant continues with season three episode five, an episode that finds Bash taking on a patient whose treatment might actually help with his own Ptsd. “Nadir” will air on Thursday, November 9, 2023 at 9pm Et/Pt.

Hamza Haq leads the cast as Dr. Bashir “Bash” Hamed and Sirena Gulamgaus stars as Amira. Rekha Sharma plays Dr. Neeta Devi, Laurence Leboeuf is Dr. Magalie “Mags” Leblanc, and Ayisha Issa stars as Dr. June Curtis. Jim Watson plays Dr. Theo Hunter, Torri Higginson is Claire Malone, and Gord Rand is Dr. Mark Novak.

“Nadir” Plot: Mags recovers from a personal crisis and worries about how to get her life back on track. Bash takes an unorthodox approach to treating a soldier with Ptsd and may end up helping himself. June lets her emotions get in the way of her job.

Joseph Kay created the series and serves as showrunner and executive producer.

Bash is kept hopping at work while Mags runs into trouble on NBC’s Transplant season three episode four. “Multiple Choice” will air on November 2, 2023 at 9pm Et/Pt.

“Multiple Choice” Plot: Bash struggles to balance a dual residency in surgery and emergency. Mags confronts her supervisor, which puts her on shaky ground morally and medically. Theo miscalculates how to handle a delicate situation with a former patient.

It seems Bash and Mags’ relationship has already hit a rough spot now that everyone knows about the couple on NBC’s Transplant season three. Bash would rather keep the relationship on the down-low, but now the cat’s out of the bag. Up next, season three episode three – “Hospital Beige” – will air on Thursday, October 26, 2023 at 9pm Et/Pt.

“Hospital Beige” Plot: Bash helps a woman whose ketamine therapy has gone awry. Mags loses confidence in her new boss. June takes a risk to help Bash. Theo reunites with a former patient whose young life hangs in the balance.

We’ll have to a wait bit longer for the stateside Season 3 premiere of Canadian medical drama Transplant. The new season will launch Thursday, Oct. 12 at 9 pm on NBC, a week later than its original Oct. 5 date, and will stream next day on Peacock.

Winner of two consecutive Canadian Screen Awards for Best Drama, the third season finds Bashir “Bash” Hamed (Hamza Haq) continuing his journey to start over, but with each new milestone comes a new challenge. While pursuing Canadian citizenship for himself and his younger sister, Amira (Sirena Gulamgaus), Bash closely examines who he’s becoming in his adopted country.

Bash, still being asked repeatedly to prove himself, works closely with his colleagues as they move forward following the dramatic conclusion of season two. Everyone continues to find themselves looking to adapt to change and understand how they fit in, both within and beyond the walls of York Memorial Hospital.

NBC’s midseason Sunday lineup is starting to take shape with reality series Weakest Link and Canadian medical drama Transplant making their Season 2 debuts on the night March 6 at 9 Pm and 10 Pm, respectively.

The network introduces a new Sunday schedule following the end of Sunday Night Football. This year, the launch of the new lineup, which will include a third series airing at 8 Pm, is being delayed by NBC’s coverage of the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics.

Last season, NBC also started its midseason Sunday schedule with a game show at 9 Pm (Ellen’s Game of Games), followed by an hourlong scripted series at 10 Pm (Good Girls).

Transplant was originally acquired by NBC in the early months of the pandemic and was deployed in fall 2020 when all U.S. series had been delayed by Covid. Against atypical competition, the medical drama ranked as the #2 new drama in the...

Gorilla Grodd’s coming back to The Flash next week. The intelligent ape has been a fixture of the show since its first season and now it’s time for his annual appearance. But these promo images for the episode, which sports the perfect title “Grodd Friended Me,” reveal that another familiar face from the Flash’s past will make a return, too, in the form of none other than the original Harrison Wells. At least, that’s how it looks.

What with Grodd being a CG creation, the simian supervillain isn’t showcased in these pics. Instead, they tease a confrontation between Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen and Wells. With his attire and glasses, this version of the character closely resembles the original Harrison from season 1, who – as we all know – was Reverse-Flash in disguise. That could be what’s happening here, as he does appear to be locking Barry up.

"The Flash" episode "Marathon", directed by Stefan Pleszczynski , airs February 24, 2020 on The CW:

"...after 'The Citizen' prints an explosive story, the life of 'Iris' (Candice Patton) is threatened. Refusing to hide from those attacking her, Iris sets out to expose a dangerous organization. 

"Meanwhile, 'Barry' (Grant Gustin) must face the consequences of the 'Crisis' and fulfill the wish he made to 'Oliver Queen' ..."

The latest version of Harrison Wells was introduced at the beginning of The Flash season 6 – Nash Wells, an inter-dimensional explorer we eventually discovered was on the hunt for the Anti-Monitor. This made him partially responsible for the devastation the villain wrought on the multiverse in “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” causing the guilt-ridden Nash to rename himself Pariah – as per the comic book character. Now “Crisis” is all over and done with and reality is saved, but Nash will be sticking around Central City in season 6B.

While speaking to TV Line, showrunner Eric Wallace promised that Tom Cavanagh will continue to play this iteration of Wells for the remainder of the current run of The Flash. What’s more, a new mystery revolving around the character will emerge, pretty much instantly. So, look out for the start of that in tonight’s midseason premiere.

When we first learned that Cicada would serve as The Flash season 5’s big bad, I doubt any of us thought that his true identity would differ from the source material – or that his niece would travel back from the future, murder him, and take up his mantle. But I guess that’s what happens when everybody enjoys screwing with the timeline.

Of course, the show has a lot more going for it right now, so maybe that’s why it appears the final showdown with Cicada II will take place during this season’s penultimate episode. Don’t forget, the synopsis for the finale hints at the Reverse-Flash taking center stage.

Strangely enough, the villain herself doesn’t actually appear in the promo photos circulating ahead of next week’s adventure, but there are still enough there to tide us over. As you browse the gallery, you’ll find...

"The Flash" episode "The Girl With The Red Lightning", directed by Stefan Pleszczynski, airs May 7, 2019 on The CW:

"...'Cicada II' (Sarah Carter) makes her move, as 'Team Flash' is on high alert...

"...after she threatens to unleash a dangerous virus that would put all 'meta-humans' at risk..."

Now that a time traveling adult Grace Gibbons has taken over as big bad on The Flash, I’m oddly thrilled to learn she’s being referred to as what I’d been calling her following the big reveal, that being “Cicada II.” Hey, it’s obvious but it works.

For the time being, it appears as though Cicada II has been put on the back burner so that the situation involving Nora West-Allen and Eobard Thawne be fully explored – not to mention the return of the Icicle coming tomorrow night – but we can expect for Grace to resurface in season 5’s penultimate episode at the very latest. Suffice it to say, this has been confirmed by the official synopsis:

Cicada II Makes Her Move – Team Flash is on high alert after Cicada II (guest star Sarah Carter) threatens to unleash a dangerous virus that would put all meta-humans at risk.

Take a look at 'King Shark' vs 'Gorilla Grodd' from "The Flash" episode "King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd", directed by Stefan Pleszczynski, airing March 5, 2019 on The CW:

"...when 'Gorilla Grodd' (David Sobolov) attacks 'Central City'...

"...'Barry' (Grant Gustin) and 'Team Flash' find themselves aligning with 'King Shark' (David Hayter).

"However, when they hit a snag, they bring in 'Dr. Tanya Lamden' (Zibby Allen)...

"...to try to reach the man behind the shark, 'Shay Lamden' (Dan Payne)."

More "The Flash" Here...

As you may remember, we’d originally presented photos from “King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd” a few weeks ago, but those surprisingly focused much more on Jesse L. Martin’s long-awaited return to The Flash. In fact, there was really nothing to offer regarding the super heavyweight fight at that time. And though I’m sure we’re all appreciative of seeing Joe West return to the fold, I’m guessing you may have felt shortchanged.

Fortunately, the network has released yet another batch of images from said episode at the eleventh hour. This isn’t unheard of in my line of work, as producers may hold onto certain info if it’s deemed too spoilerish. In this case, though, it could’ve been due to the visual effects team needing more time to polish the headlining creatures.

As you can see, the shots of both King Shark and Gorilla...

Entertaining as the current season of The Flash has thus far proven to be, there’s been something missing: Joe West. Played by Jesse L. Martin, this fine detective has shown himself to be an invaluable ally to the crew at Star Labs, and lent countless heartwarming moments since the pilot episode aired. In other words, he’s every bit as good of a TV cop as he is a TV dad.

Unfortunately, Jesse had to take a leave of absence from the series after injuring his back. As such, his character hasn’t been seen since episode 5×04. But now that the veteran actor has been given ample time to heal, he’ll return just in time for what might end up being March’s biggest Arrowverse showdown.

We are, of course, talking about “King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd.”

As it turns out, the photos promoting said episode don’t...

“King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd, are you kidding me?” No, Iris, we aren’t. The recent promo for next week’s episode of The Flash echoed all our thoughts when Candice Patton’s character reacted with shock at the title of the installment.

“King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd” promises to be a blast for Flash lovers everywhere, as it’ll bring together two of the Scarlet Speedster’s biggest, baddest and weirdest rogues. But what’s caused the giant telepathic primate to be pitted against the ferocious man-shark?

Well, this new synopsis for the fifteenth episode of season 5 teases that an unexpected alliance between Grodd and Team Flash is what brings the pair into battle. However, it seems the real key to stopping King Shark is to appeal to his more human side.

Warning : Potential spoilers for The Flash ahead.

After riding high with epic crossover event ‘Crisis on Earth X’, The Flash continues its exceptional form. This week’s mid season finale “Don’t Run” is filled with slow thrills and twists. Devoe’s immaculate game plan to defeat Barry Allen resembles a perfect game of chess where all his pieces were moved according to plan.

As the night before a nasty storm is calm and cool, the condition of the team Flash resembles the same. They were having fun after the huge wedding moment, Ralph Dibny (an excellent Hartley Sawyer) returns to Star Labs and started hanging out with Killer Frost and Co. We have a gift opening session with the couple and one of them played a pivotal role at the end.

The best part of this cliffhanger episode is the writing. The writers had arranged the twists in...

Now that the sheer awesomeness that was the “Crisis on Earth-x” crossover is behind us, we’re almost ready to go about business as usual. But when you factor in that next week will see each Arrowverse series air their midseason finales, it may take us a little more time to catch our breath.

As you may have noticed, the crossover’s commercial breaks lacked trailers for said midseason finales, perhaps because the network didn’t want to take anybody out of their fluid viewing experiences. Well, thankfully, the promos we’ve been waiting for are starting to trickle online, with The Flash being chief among them.

In the footage provided, we see the Thinker fully put his deadly game into motion. To this point, he’s enjoyed a sort of anonymity and toyed with the S.

Even though we have what appears to be an awesome crossover in the form of “Crisis on Earth-x” to look forward to next week, the reality of the situation is that the bulk of whatever plots unfolding across each of the Arrowverse‘s individual shows will have to be put on hold for the time being. This doubly builds anticipation for their reprisals, especially when you consider the cliffhangers that both Supergirl and The Flash left us on this week.

Well, expect some major payoff throughout the first full week of December when The CW airs midseason finales for its DC TV shows. First on the block is Supergirl, which will see Samantha finally and reluctantly emerge as this year’s big bad, that being Reign, in the episode appropriately titled, um, “Reign.”

Reign Challenges Supergirl – Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) investigates a mysterious symbol popping up all over National City, tracing...

Sneak Peek new footage, images and synopsis from the "Supergirl" episode "Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk", written by Jessica Queller, Sterling Gates and directed by Stefan Pleszczynski, airing February 20, 2017 on The CW:

"...when 'Mr. Mxyzptlk' (Peter Gadiot), a magical imp, shows up on Earth and declares his love for 'Kara' (Melissa Benoist), she tries to let him down easy, thinking him harmless.

"However, he decides it's a challenge and starts to wreak havoc on 'National City'. 'Mon-El' (Chris Wood) has seen beings like Mr. Mxyzptlk on 'Daxam'...

"...and knows how dangerous they can be. He and Kara argue over how to get rid of Mr. Mxyzptlk, further straining their relationship.

"Meanwhile, 'Alex' (Chyler Leigh) and 'Maggie' (Floriana Lima) celebrate their first 'Valentine's Day' together..."

'Mister Mxyzptlk' (pronounced 'mix-yez-pittle-ik'), is a fifth dimensional 'imp' that has plagued DC superheroes in comic books since 1944, appearing in animation and video games.

'Mxy' debuted in "Superman...

You know, in hindsight, perhaps “intriguing” isn’t the best word. In this first look at next week’s episode of Supergirl, Mister Mxyzptlk arrives in National City to creepily ask for Kara Danvers’ hand in marriage, something the Girl of Steel isn’t too pleased with, especially after he conjures up a wedding dress for her.

For those of you unfamiliar with the villain, Mister Mxyzptlk is a reality warping bad guy who’s been a thorn in Superman’s side for decades, and while he’s often harmless enough, he also happens to be incredibly powerful and capable of changing the world as we know it on a whim.

For more on what to expect from this fun looking episode of Supergirl – titled “Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk” – here’s the official synopsis from The CW:

This past Monday’s episode of Supergirl featured the return of the original Hank Henshaw as Cyborg Superman. Now, a new clip has been released which features the robotic villain heading to National City’s alien bar to take on Mon-El in a battle which doesn’t end up going particularly well for the Daxamite refugee.

When we first met Hank in Supergirl, many fans suspected that he would be revealed as Cyborg Superman when his eyes glowed red in the final few moments of the pilot. However, the big twist was that he was actually Martian Manhunter and that he’d replaced Hank years earlier when the Deo boss tried to murder the Girl of Steel’s adoptive father.

Bringing him back in this new villainous role is an interesting move on the show’s part, and for more on what to expect from “Medusa,” here’s the official...

The CW has released the first clip from next Monday’s episode of Supergirl (the first part of the four night “Invasion!” crossover), and in it we get a quick tease of what’s to come when The Flash and Cisco make their way to the Earth that Kara Danvers calls home.

Before that happen though, it seems that Thanksgiving dinner isn’t exactly going smoothly for the Danvers clan. A tipsy Alex is clearly ready to come out of the closet to her friends and family, but there’s a fair bit of tension between her and the Girl of Steel. Before she can spill the beans, Alex is interrupted by one of Vibe’s breaches, the portals he creates to travel between realities.

The CW has released a gallery of images from next week’s episode of The Flash, and in them we get to see a lot of very interesting reveals. The most significant has to be our first look at Jesse Wells suited up as Jesse Quick, a speedster from the comic books who, in the TV show, hails from Earth-2 and is the daughter of Harrison Wells.

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you though; Jesse is indeed wearing a slightly modified version of the costume worn by Trajectory when that villain appeared in The Flash season 2.

The next big reveal is the return of Captain Cold. The fan-favourite villain was killed off in the season 1 finale of Legends of Tomorrow, so how exactly is he alive and well here? Chances are it has something to do with Barry Allen’s recent trip back in time, as...

Disclaimer: This article has spoilers for Legends of Tomorrow Season 1

A part of me was a bit disappointed when Wentworth Miller’s Leonard Snart (a.k.a. Captain Cold) left The Flash to pursue his own ambitions in the Arrow-verse offshoot Legends of Tomorrow. It took a while, but not only did I grow accustomed to Miller’s campy portrayal of the fan favorite Rogues villain, he quickly became one of my favorite parts of the show.

His portrayal only got better as Legends of Tomorrow progressed. No, the show wasn’t the strongest (I think it leans a bit to far in the direction of camp for my taste), but I appreciated the development they gave for both Snart and Rory for the season, and was frustrated when the series decided to kill him off in a blaze of glory ("There are no strings on me.").

In my mind,...

It comes as no surprise that The Flash continues to astonish in what has so far been a thoroughly entertaining third season. And, if this newly released extended trailer for next week’s episode, “The New Rogues,” properly reflects how awesome that offering may be, then it’s probably safe to say the trend will continue.

A major draw in this particular episode comes in the form of Mirror Master making his long awaited debut. You see, he happens to be one of the quintessential Flash villains from the comic books, so it comes as somewhat of a surprise the producers have waited this long to incorporate him. But, then again, it’s also reassuring to know that not every resource was jammed into the first season or two and there’s still much to be tapped as the series races toward a prosperous future.

The Flash Season 3 Gallery 1 of 28

At the end of this week’s season 3 premiere of The Flash, Barry Allen once again reset reality, and while he was back in familiar surroundings following the events of Flashpoint, it quickly became apparent that not everything is the same. That’s clearly going to be an ongoing plot point this year too, as the description for episode 4 reveals that Captain Cold is now alive and well.

The villain died in the season 1 finale of Legends of Tomorrow, but something has clearly changed in this timeline as he’s now alive and being tracked down by Mirror Master. His appearance in The Flash is long overdue, and while the title of the episode – “The New Rogues” – points to Cold finally assembling the team of villains, it sounds like they’re going to be at odds here.

Legends' most-watched episode ever, and The CW's biggest week in six years - that's how well the crossover did.

Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends Of Tomorrow's massive four-part Invasion! crossover dominated headlines last week, and now we hear that it also dominated ratings.

Deadline has published a big breakdown of the ratings for the Invasion! crossover. Some of the highlights are here:

Supergirl had its most-watched episode of the season, earning 3.5 million viewers. Supergirl's crossover-starting Medusa episode was the most-watched show in The CW's Monday 8-9pm slot since September 2008.

The Flash enjoyed its most-watched episode "in almost two years" with 4.15 million viewers. The Flash's Invasion! episode was therefore watched by more people than The Flash's season 3 premiere,...

The CW has released a trio of images from the next episode of The Flash, and as well as revealing that Zoom goes after Wally West, we see in the gallery above that the youngster is about to learn that Barry Allen is secretly the Fastest Man Alive – something that’s sure to shake up the status quo for Team Flash in a major way moving forward.

For more details on what to expect from this episode of The Flash (which is titled “Enter Zoom”), here’s the official synopsis:

Equipped with the tachyon device, Barry (Grant Gustin) believes he is fast enough to stop Zoom (guest star Teddy Sears) and wants to open the breaches to catch him. Harry (Tom Cavanagh) strongly advises against that plan but after Barry convinces him, Harry reveals that Cisco (Carlos Valdes) has the power to re-open the breach. Meanwhile,...

Despite the fact that it’s already been confirmed that Zoom is really Hunter Zolomon in The Flash, it’s hard to escape the feeling that there’s still more to his story than meets the eye, especially as he pretended to be The Flash on Earth-2 and has a mysterious masked figure locked up in his lair with a metal mask over their face.

For further details on what to expect from the upcoming episode, “Versus Zoom,” here’s the official description courtesy of The CW:

Equipped with the tachyon device, Barry (Grant Gustin) believes he is fast enough to stop Zoom (guest star Teddy Sears) and wants to open the breaches to catch him. Harry (Tom Cavanagh) strongly advises against that plan but after Barry convinces him, Harry reveals that Cisco (Carlos Valdes) has the power to re-open the breach. Meanwhile, Hunter Zoloman’s (Teddy Sears) painful story on Earth-2 is revealed.

Barry Is Ready To Face Zoom; Hunter Zoloman’S Story Is Revealed Equipped with the tachyon device, Barry (Grant Gustin) believes he is fast enough to stop Zoom (guest star Teddy Sears) and wants to open the breaches to catch him. Harry (Tom Cavanagh) strongly advises against that plan but after Barry convinces him, Harry reveals that Cisco (Carlos Valdes) has the power to re-open the breach. Meanwhile, Hunter Zoloman’s (Teddy Sears) painful story on Earth-2 is revealed. Stefan Pleszcynski directed the episode from a script written by Joe Peracchio and David Kob. Seems a bit silly that after everything that's occurred between the two, Barry would put his faith in something he acquires from Reverse-Flash as the means to a victory over Zoom. What are the odds that the tachyon device malfunctions or secretly siphons off Barry's speed and sends it to Eobard? We'll find out for sure...

After delivering a fantastic episode that very much followed the classic monster hunting formula, while also having some great moments involving the Winchesters in “Into The Mystic,” Supernatural looks to bring back some recurring characters in next week’s offering.

“Don’t You Forget About Me” will not only see the return of Sheriff Jody Mills, whom fans have become quite accustomed to seeing in recent years, but also Claire (daughter of Jimmy, Castiel’s vessel) and Alex, who has mostly been name dropped since her first appearance. Having all these characters under one roof should make for some combustible elements and I sense the “Spn Family” will take to social media rather quickly after this episode airs.

On that note, the plot thread to keep an eye on in this episode is that Claire has not only become a hunter, but has been attacking humans and accusing them of being monsters.

Kim Rhodes Returns As Sheriff Jody Mills — Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) drop in on Jody Mills (guest star Kim Rhodes), Claire (guest star Kathryn Newton) and Alex (guest star Katherine Ramdine) after receiving a panicked phone call from Claire. She believes the recent murders in town are supernatural and wants the boys’ help. However, Sheriff Mills tells Sam and Dean that Claire has been getting into trouble lately as she’s been attacking normal people and accusing them of being monsters. Stefan Pleszczynski directed the episode written by Nancy Won (#1112). In the show’s tenth season, Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles) faced their most personal threat yet. The all-powerful Mark of Cain threatened to consume Dean, turning him into one of the monsters he has spent his life hunting. Meanwhile, a formidable witch, Rowena (Ruth Connell), rose to power to claim her position at...

Recently, CW dropped the new,official synopsis/description for their upcoming "Supernatural" episode 12 of season 11. The episode is entitled, ""Don't You Forget About Me," and it turns out that we're going to see some very interesting and quite disturbing stuff take place as Sheriff Jody Mills is spotted back in action, telling Dean and Sam that Claire has been acting up, lately, claiming that normal-looking people are really monsters, and more! In the new, 12th episode press release: Kim Rhodes Returns As Sheriff Jody Mills. Press release number 2: Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) will end up dropping in on Jody Mills (guest star Kim Rhodes), Claire (guest star Kathryn Newton) and Alex (guest star Katherine Ramdine) after receiving a panicked phone call from Claire. She is going to believe the recent murders in town are supernatural and will want the boys' help. However, Sheriff Mills is going...

The Flash, Season 2, Episode 5, “The Darkness and the Light”

Directed by Steve Shill

Written by Ben Sokolowski and Grainne Godfree

Airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm (Et) on The CW

With the first season of The Flash ending with the opening of the Multiverse, the first few episodes of the second season spent their time setting up the show’s new paradigm. What couldn’t be forgotten, however, is that the team itself needed to be rebuilt after having lost its most crucial member in the former Harrison Wells, aka Eobard Thawne. With Dr. Stein also having lost Ronnie, and by extension his stabilising force, the past two episodes have shifted the focus towards rebuilding the team, adding new members to replace those who are gone and add more strengths.

Sneak Peek footage, plus images from "The Flash" episode, "The Fury Of Firestorm", written by Kai Yu Wu, Joe Peracchio and directed by Stefan Pleszczynski, that aired October 27, 2015 on The CW, revealing DC Comics' super-villain 'King Shark':

"It was just fun for us," said "The Flash" producer Andrew Kreisberg about the 'King Shark' cameo.

"Obviously we can't afford to do an entire 'King Shark' episode so the idea was that he was one of the minions of 'Zoom', and just the latest in the line. 

"Which does mean that there is a King Shark on 'Earth-1'."
