AMERICAN HORROR STORY Season Two Poster

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: February 9th, 2012 at 12:30 pm

Considering most of the ad campaign for the first season of American Horror Story highlighted some of the more strange aspects of the series like the Rubber Man and various S&M related imagery, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the marketing for the new season took a strange approach as well. We’ll have to wait quite awhile to find out as the second season doesn’t even start airing until the spooky month of October. However, what might keep you busy until then is trying to find some old school 3D glasses that just might help see this poster a little better. I can’t be sure since I don’t have a pair myself, but there does seem to be some photo trickery. See for yourself after the jump!

Walton Goggins Talks JUSTIFIED Season 3, Working with Daniel Day-Lewis on LINCOLN, G.I. JOE: RETALIATION and More

by Christina Radish    Posted: January 25th, 2012 at 9:31 am

Walton Goggins is one of my absolute favorite actors, and people, on the planet. After playing the always riveting and often explosive Detective Shane Vendrell on The Shield, he went on to accomplish the impossible by topping that performance with his current one as the enigmatic Boyd Crowder on the FX drama series Justified, opposite Timothy Olyphant. And when he’s not on that show, he’s mixing it up with various roles in feature films, in genres that are all over the map.

While at the TCA Winter Press Tour, Collider got to sit down with the intriguing, fascinating and super-dedicated actor for this exclusive interview about the journey that Boyd Crowder will take in Season 3, how his character has finally accepted that this is his life and his making the most of it, what his relationship with Ava (Joelle Carter) has meant to him, and how great it’s been to develop the unique and unpredictable back-and-forth that Boyd has with Raylan Givens (Olyphant). He also talked about the experience of working with someone as dedicated as Daniel Day Lewis on Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, how much fun he had on G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and how excited he is about working on Django Unchained with Quentin Tarantino, who he’s been a fan of for 20 years. Check out what he had to say after the jump, and be aware that there might be spoilers:

John Landgraf (President of FX) Talks POWERS, ANGER MANAGEMENT, AMERICAN HORROR STORY Season 2 and Beyond, and More

by Christina Radish    Posted: January 16th, 2012 at 9:04 am

As part of the network’s TCA Press Tour presentation, President and General Manager of FX Networks, John Landgraf, took some time to talk about the creative direction for Season 2 of American Horror Story, the fact that Ryan Murphy is currently assembling a new cast with the addition of two or three previous cast members, and the shelf-life that he sees for the series. He also talked about the appeal of Anger Management and what made them want to work with Charlie Sheen, as well as the status of Powers, an adaptation of the comic book series about homicide detectives who investigate cases involving superheroes and super-villains with superhuman powers, which are common in their world. Check out what he had to say after the jump.

Bryan Cranston Goes to Space with ARCHER; Emma Stone and Others Will Stop By 30 ROCK

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: January 10th, 2012 at 1:38 pm

Later this year we’ll see Bryan Cranston in the sci-fi epic John Carter, but before that, the Breaking Bad star is heading into space along with the animated spy Archer for the two-part season finale. The new season doesn’t even begin until January 19th, but The Huffington Post reports the finale is already slated to have Cranston play Commander Drake an “earnest, conscientious astronaut” trying to stop mutiny aboard the International Space Station. In addition, series creator and executive producer Adam Reed also revealed that Jack McBrayer (30 Rock) and Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead) will also guest star in an upcoming episode where the Isis team heads to West Virginia to help Gillette’s marijuana farming brother (Rooker). McBrayer is perfectly suited for backwoods parts of West Virginia, but Cranston in space with some of the crew will be something special to behold. The third season of Archer begins on January 19th at 10/9c on FX.

What to Expect in Season 2 of AMERICAN HORROR STORY

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: December 22nd, 2011 at 12:33 pm

Last night’s season finale of American Horror Story closed out the Harmon family’s story, but not the end of the series; not by a long shot. In fact, fans of the Golden Globe-nominated show can expect future seasons to have a complete story arc contained within the twelve episode run. In a conference call earlier today with American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy (Glee, Nip/Tuck) and FX President and General Manager John Landgraf, the duo filled us in on not only the phenomenal success of their first season, but also what we can expect to see (and not see) in the second season. Though Murphy and the writing team are in the early creative stages, we can expect to hear an announcement about season two’s cast and theme sometime in February. Murphy also suggested that there is a clue in previous episodes as to what season two’s theme might be. Hit the jump for much more on the next season of American Horror Story.

FX Orders Pilot for Period KGB Spy Drama THE AMERICANS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 16th, 2011 at 3:43 pm

Back in October, we reported that FX was developing a drama series called The Americans. At the time, all we knew was that it centered on Russian spies living in the U.S. in the 1980s. Now FX has announced that they’ve ordered a pilot for the drama, and we’ve got a few more details on the series. The show follows the arranged marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in the suburbs of Washington DC.

The married spy couple have two children who are unaware of their parents’ true identities, but the duo’s relationship “grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but is constantly tested by the escalation of the Cold War and the intimate, dangerous and darkly funny relationships they must maintain with a network of spies and informants under their control.” Furthermore, the father grows an affinity for America’s values and way of life. The series was created by Joe Weisberg (Falling Skies) who will executive produce alongside Justified’s Graham Yost. Hit the jump to read the full press release.

FX Lines Up Unscripted Late Night Comedy Series with Russell Brand

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: December 15th, 2011 at 11:34 am

With Conan O’Brien taking his late night comedy to TBS, now is the time for another cable network to make their own attempt at joining the nighttime circuit. FX is the first to take the plunge as the network has just announced a new deal with Russell Brand for six half-hour episodes of a new, currently untitled, unscripted late night series that will feature the comedians British sensibilities and take on current events, politics, pop culture and more, all in front of a live studio audience. Brand says, “I am so excited I’m on the point of climax, in fact I will put the “O” into FX, which spells FOX, which is actually the channel’s real name,” said Brand. “That’s the only thing that worries me about all this to be honest. At least I’ll be able to have a Christmas drink with Bill O’Reilly.”

Before making it big on films here in the United States, Brand was already an established stand-up comedian, so this kind thing really is his forte. As someone who enjoys not only British humor, but Brand’s off-the-cuff, fast-paced comedy style, I’m interested to see if cable can become the new hip place for late night talk shows as the staples like Jay Leno and David Letterman get up there in age. Brand will also likely have competition from either Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert depending on the time slot of the spring 2012 series. Hit the jump for the full press release.

FX Renews THE LEAGUE for Fourth Season

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 13th, 2011 at 2:26 pm

The League fans rejoice! FX has renewed the comedy for a fourth season. THR reports that the network has ordered 13 episodes of the series from creators Jackie and Jeff Shaffer. The semi-improvised comedy centered around a fantasy football league has had a stellar third season thus far, averaging series-high ratings with 1.7 million total viewers and 1.5 million in the all-important 18-49 demographic. FX exec vp original programming Nick Grad had nothing but high praise for the show, saying “The League continues to be one of our most successful comedy series both creatively and from a ratings standpoint.”

The show stars Mark Duplass, Nick Kroll, Stephen Rannazzisi, and Paul Scheer and has drawn a considerable number of guest stars including Seth Rogen, Wil Forte, Sarah Silverman, Matthew Berry and Chad Ochocinco. Season three is currently winding down on FX now, with a few more episodes left until the season finale on December 22nd.

Ice Cube May Star in FX Revenge Series EYE FOR AN EYE

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 5th, 2011 at 8:28 pm

World, prepare yourself for two Ices on TV. Not content with letting Ice-T have the airwaves all to himself, Ice Cube is apparently eyeing his first series regular role on the drama Eye for an Eye. THR reports that Cube is producing the series, and is currently mulling over the prospect of starring in it himself. The show centers on “a veteran paramedic who after years responding to violent scenes takes matters into his own hands and turns into a vigilante out for revenge.” I get that the character will probably be hunting down murderers and wife-beaters, but will he also be getting revenge on car accident-causers and the like? (I sincerely hope so).

Cube will be executive producing the show through his Cube Vision banner. He also executive produces the TBS show Are We There Yet. Cube will next be seen in the feature film version of 21 Jump Street which stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY Recap: “Open House”

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: November 16th, 2011 at 8:05 pm

When last we met, the folks behind American Horror Story had cleared up two plot points for us: the mortality of Tate (Evan Peters) and the status of Vivien’s (Connie Britton) baby. In my recap of last week’s episode, I mentioned that the preview for tonight’s show would highlight the back-story of Larry Harvey (Denis O’Hare) and would feature the younger version of Moira (Alexandra Breckinridge). The 7^th episode of American Horror Story, “Open House,” gave us all that and more, as we learned an interesting secret from Larry’s past and were introduced to another member of Constance’s (Jessica Lange) family.

David Labrava SONS OF ANARCHY Interview

by Christina Radish    Posted: November 15th, 2011 at 6:41 am

On the FX drama series Sons of Anarchy, David Labrava stars as the ultra-intense, fully-patched SAMCRO member, Happy, the club’s assassin. In addition to his debut acting role on the show, Labrava also co-wrote Episode 10, called “Hands,” for this season, along with Chris Collins and show creator Kurt Sutter.

During a recent interview to promote Season 4 and his work on the series, David Labrava talked about how he went from technical advisor to cast member, the difference in the process for writing for television as opposed to film, that he got his first Harley Davidson when he was 17 years old, how he gets recognized by fans at least once a day, and that show creator Kurt Sutter is his writing mentor.

Fourth Season of SONS OF ANARCHY Gets One Extra Episode

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: November 7th, 2011 at 12:23 pm

Just last month FX announced their order for a fifth season of the hit drama Sons of Anarchy with the fourth season currently airing and set for conclusion at the end of this month. However, today FX has announced that they are giving just one extra episode to the current fourth season with the finale no set to air on Tuesday, December 6th at 10/9c. Executive Vice President of Original Programming Nick Grad announced, ” [Series Creator Kurt Sutter] asked us to consider adding an extra episode to fully close this current chapter of the Sons saga. By adding the extra episode, it wraps up a magnificent season in extraordinary fashion. This is a real bonus for fans of the series.” Even though it’s just one more episode, no doubt fans of the series will be happy to have even more Sons of Anarchy this season, especially if it allows for a more satisfying conclusion and lead-in to the next season. Hit the jump for the full press release.

Burt Reynolds to Guest Star as Himself on ARCHER

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: October 31st, 2011 at 11:56 am

The third season of Archer is already underway, and a new episode in January will bring a special visitor to FX’s animated comedy series. The cable network revealed today that veteran actor Burt Reynolds will guest star as himself on an episode titled The Man from Jupiter, which only makes sense since the actor himself is from Jupiter, Florida. In the episode, Reynolds is dating Archer’s mother and boss Malory and the agent is not very pleased about it. Series creator Adam Reed says, “I think the only person on the planet who’s a bigger fan of Burt Reynolds than me is Sterling Archer. Archer constantly tries to imitate Burt and always raves about Burt’s movies and all-around awesomeness.  So to have Burt recording voice-overs for the show was just amazing.” Check out photos of Burt recording his lines and his animated form after the jump.

FX Orders Second Season of AMERICAN HORROR STORY and First Four Episodes Will Re-Air Tonight

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: October 31st, 2011 at 11:16 am

Just four episodes into the first season of the edgy new horror series American Horror Story, FX has decided to order a second 13-episode season for the dark venture from Glee creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. The ratings for the series have increased over the first four episodes, so it’s not surprising that the cable network is already interested in bringing more horror to the table next year. In addition, if a second season order convinces you that it’s time to give American Horror Story a chance (though I was not impressed by the pilot), in honor of Halloween tonight, FX is re-airing the first four episodes tonight starting at 10/9c. The next new episodes airs on Wednesday with the rest of the season airing non-stop every week until the final two episodes hit just before Christmas on December 21st. Hit the jump for the full press release.
