Tonight, AMC premieres the seventh season of its series Fear the Walking Dead. At the end of last season, cult leader Teddy (John Glover), set off a nuclear bomb that destroyed everything in the area, leaving everyone to run to safety underground. Morgan, played by Lennie James, and Grace, played by Karen David, ran into the submarine with a murder-suicide pact, but changed their minds upon finding Baby Mo.

During a recent roundtable interview, James and David talked to SciFi Vision about what scenes they have found the most fun. David said that watching James during his fight scenes is a joy. “He does them so well, and just even watching him practice with our amazing stunt team, some of those fun bits, they've been great, and certainly in “Six Hours,” 702, [he] had some kickass moments there.

James enjoys doing those kinds of scenes, but others as well. “On one level, it's an impossible question for me to answer, because Morgan has been on such a ride as a character. He's had so many different incarnations and so many different encounters. The moments of joy and the moments of fun are different and varied and are at different times.”

The actor reminisced about working with Melissa McBride, who plays Carol on the flagship series. “I remember sitting on a log in the woods with Melissa after we were doing a scene and just thinking, ‘I don't know that there's anywhere else I'd rather be at this particular moment in time and doing anything else,’ and that was a huge amount of fun.”

Tonight, AMC premieres the third episode of the second season of The Walking Dead: World Beyond. The series follows teens as they try to survive the apocalypse, as well as the CRM. Nicholas Cantu stars as Elton, the analytical one of the bunch, while Hal Cumpston stars as Silas, who was brought to the campus colony after being arrested of a violent crime. At the end of last season, Ted Sutherland joined the cast as Percy. While Elton and Percy are currently navigating the world together, at the end of last season, they were separated from others, as well as Silas, who was picked up by the CRM.

The three recently talked to the press during a roundtable interview.

The actors also talked to SciFi Vision about some of the things that surprised them about their characters in the first season. Cantu was surprised by his character’s reaction to Hope (Alexa Mansour) killing his mother. “I thought he was gonna flip. I was like, ‘He's gonna go evil. He's gonna be the evil one. This is gonna be the change of the season.’ I guess it says more about me and how rage filled I am, but Elton just accepted it. He just internalized it, and he went on this long journey, and he found Percy [and Silas] because of it. He found both of his friends, because he was able to, I guess, not kill the killer, because…I was making the movie in my head, and it wasn't the movie that we were making. So, I was surprised by Elton's lack of action, or introspective action. His intellectual brain power just took over…He just ran away with his problems, which is a good message for the viewers.”

In last week’s mid-season finale, The Walking Dead finally put an end to Pope (Ritchie Coster) when Leah (Lynn Collins) stabbed him in the neck. Leah had remained loyal to the Reapers up to this point - a loyalty that has sometimes been difficult for fans to understand. In an exclusive interview with SciFi Vision, Lynn Collins explained why she thinks Leah has stuck with the violent mercenaries for so long.

“When we see her in season ten and we meet her,” explained Collins, “the majority of that episode is her having a catharsis, because she's never got to speak about these horrifying moments where she loses her ‘sister’ and the sister's child and even Dog's mother…So, when she goes back into this culty militaristic religious extremism, I think it's because the alternative would be to be out on her own again with all of that pain.”

So, what changed Leah’s mind about Pope? “She believes that she's there to protect and love these people…I think when the house, the cabin, is set on fire and she's in it with Daryl (Norman Reedus), I think that's the first big wake up call for her where she's like, ‘Oh my God, I'm not safe here.’…So there's a lot going on in Leah's head, and she’s trying to navigate, is Daryl someone she can trust, and is Carver (Alex Meraz) someone she can trust? And if Pope can risk and sacrifice A, B, C and D, is he going to sacrifice her, which we already know he already tried. So, it's very complicated.”

Recently, AMC premiered the second and final season of The Walking Dead: World Beyond. At the end of last season, Felix, played by Nico Totorella, was reunited with his boyfriend Will, played by Jelani Alladin. Will, who was originally a security guard at the campus colony, escaped the CRM when they tried to kill him for asking too many questions. He recently revealed the devastating news to Felix and Iris (Aliyah Royale) that the Omaha campus has been completely destroyed.

During a recent roundtable interview, the two talked to SciFi Vision about the betrayals their characters have faced, Will by the CRM, and Felix by Huck (Annet Mahendru). Alladin said that after being lied to his character will be less trusting. “I think it's a matter of ‘I don't believe anything that anybody says. I believe their actions,’ and your actions are going to give me answers to what your moral compass is. I think that we'll see that throughout the course of the season, the interactions with Will and the CRM, Will and Huck.”

Tortorella agreed that’s it’s hard for their characters to trust. “Not only that, [but] their entire town is gone. Their home has completely disappeared, and we don't really know how or why that happened. I think that the level of unknown is so massive, but it's not bigger than a zombie apocalypse. We've already hit peak of like, ‘What is going on?’ and then everything else becomes less surprising after that. So, yes, they don't trust the people around them, but I think it's hard to trust the world when, all of a sudden, you could have dead people coming back to life to eat you.

‘…I think the bigger question for this season is what is the difference between good and evil? The space between those two is a lot wider than any of us would care to admit.”

Doctor Who Trailer - Premieres 10/31/21
Season 13 - "Flux"
Official Trailer

One epic story. Six thrilling chapters. Doctor Who: Flux premieres 31st October.

Below is a trailer from the twelfth season episode of Doctor Who, "EPISODE." Doctor Who airs Sundays at 8/7c on BBC America. Check it out below.

Based on the characters from DC, Batwoman, which premieres its third season tonight on The CW, follows Ryan Wilder, played by Javicia Leslie, who now carries out the legacy of Batwoman and protects the city of Gotham. This season, she and the Bat Team must work to recover artifacts taken from some of Batman’s worst villains. Meanwhile, Ryan deals with the bombshell dropped by Alice (Rachel Skarsten) that her mother is in fact alive. Things get even more complicated when Wayne Enterprises ends up on the radar of Jada Jet, played by Robin Givens.

Leslie talked to SciFi Vision about what it was like the first time she put on the bat suit. “The suit is epic. I think Maya Mani, our costumer at Batwoman, does such an amazing job with the suit. I think the way it fits, the streamlining, the shape and silhouette that it creates, it's so powerful. It's so womanly, yet it's still very badass, like, ‘Don't mess with me.’ So, I always say, whenever I put on the suit, I automatically feel like a superhero, because it does grab me up like this, and it makes me walk with my shoulders back and my head high, and you automatically kind of feel the responsibility of being a hero.”

Givens may not have a superhero costume on the series, but she told the site that she does get to wear a lot of designer dresses. “I have to say, in a similar way for Jada Jet, it's not this superhero costume, but you really see how people and costume designers win Oscars for what they do, and it really helps you create a character. So, everything about the way Jada dresses says everything about her. I’m so different than Jada and a lot of the women that I play, but clearly when you put on those tight dresses, there's only one way to walk in those high heeled shoes, and it really establishes the character. So, yeah, she's dresses very well.”

AMC GREENLIGHTS “TALES OF THE WALKING DEAD” AS A NEW EPISODIC ANTHOLOGY SERIES PREMIERING ON AMC+ AND AMC NEXT SUMMER 

“TALES” WILL COMPLEMENT OTHER SERIES IN THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE AROUND “THE WALKING DEAD” WITH STAND-ALONE EPISODES AND ENGAGING, ORIGINAL STORIES FOCUSED ON NEW AND EXISTING CHARACTERS 

NEW YORK, NY, October 12, 2021 – AMC Networks today announced that it has greenlit a new AMC Studios-produced series in the expanding universe and franchise around “The Walking Dead.” “Tales of the Walking Dead” is an episodic anthology series with one-hour standalone episodes focused on both new and established characters set in the world of the original series, the most successful in the history of cable television.

Channing Powell, who has been a writer and producer on “The Walking Dead” and “Fear the Walking Dead,” will showrun “Tales,” working closely with Scott M. Gimple, chief content officer of the Walking Dead Universe. An initial season of six episodes is expected to go into production early next year and premiere on AMC+ and AMC next summer.

“‘The Walking Dead’ is a show that made television history and attracted an army of passionate and highly engaged fans,” said Dan McDermott, president of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios. “We see so much potential for a wide range of rich and compelling storytelling in this world, and the episodic anthology format of ‘Tales of the Walking Dead’ will give us the flexibility to entertain existing fans and also offer an entry point for new viewers, especially on streaming platforms. We have seen the appeal of this format in television classics like ‘The Twilight Zone’ and, more recently, ‘Black Mirror,’ and are excited to engage with fans in this new way, against the backdrop of this very unique and engrossing world.”

In the film List of a Lifetime, premiering tonight on Lifetime as part of Lifetime’s Stop Breast Cancer for Life campaign, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, Brenda Lee (Kelly Hu) searches for the daughter, Talia (Sylvia Kwan), she gave up for adoption years ago. After finding her, Talia convinces her to make a bucket list that she will help her complete, meanwhile keeping her a secret from her adoptive parents Diana (Shannen Doherty) and Marty (Jamie Kahler).

Cast members Doherty, Hu, and Kwan, as well as the director of the film, Roxy Shih, recently talked to the press during a video conference about working on the movie.

The cast talked to SciFi Vision about what is on their personal bucket lists. Both Hu and Kwan said they have very long bucket lists. Kwan’s list is adventurous. “I definitely want to backpack the Chilkoot Mountains. Mount Whitney is on my bucket list.  I was supposed to do it last year but didn’t get to do it. Sky diving, I want to go sky diving.”

Shih was planning a trip, but didn’t get to go. “I wanted to go to Iceland with my best friend for our ten-year friendivarsary, but then COVID hit, and then that didn’t happen. I really want to see the aurora borealis. I like anything that just sort of helps us appreciate nature and all the amazing gifts that she allows us to see in certain moments at the time and to take care of our environment. So that’s probably my biggest one yet.”

Doherty, a breast cancer survivor, told the SciFi Vision that she doesn’t have a bucket list. “I think, for me, I just think a bucket list is odd in my particular situation, because it means that I’m sort of trying to check things off before my time runs out. So, I’m very much like there’s no bucket list, because I’m going to be the longest living person with cancer. So, I guess it would just be, if I had to say one, it would just be living. That’s the only thing that’s on my list at this point.”

The supernatural drama Evil follows psychologist Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers) who joins former journalist turned priest-in-training David Acosta (Mike Colter) and his colleague and contractor Ben Shakir (Aasif Mandvi) to investigate strange cases of possible miracles, possession, or other demonic forces to decide if they have a scientific explanation or are caused by something else.

The series was originally created by Robert and Michelle King for CBS, but moved to Paramount+ for the second season. The move ended up being a positive thing, as it allowed the series to tap into a darker and more twisted tone which really shifted in season two, also adding more humorous elements.

Michael Emerson plays the part of the evil Leland Townsend, who has been a thorn in the side of Kristen and the others from the beginning. After pretending to have a demon exorcised, at the end of the season, he is causing even more problems after being appointed by the church to talk to the group’s clients after his claims to have experience with being possessed and saved.

Emerson recently caught up with Jamie Ruby to talk about his work on the series, which was recently renewed for a season three. Be sure to catch the season two finale tonight on Paramount+
