Exclusive: Brandon Jay McLaren (Turner & Hooch) DeVaughn Nixon (Prom) and Tiffany Lonsdale (Siren) are set for heavily recurring roles opposite Damson Idris in the upcoming fifth season of FX drama Snowfall. The series hails from the late Oscar- and Emmy-nominated director John Singleton & Eric Amadio and Dave Andron.
In the most recent fourth season, business is booming. It’s January 1, 1985. Ronald Reagan has won his re-election campaign, proclaiming it is “morning again in America,” but in South Central, Los Angeles, it feels more like the sun is getting low. The demand for crack cocaine is high, and while our crew of dealers led by Franklin Saint (Idris) are benefitting greatly from the rising tide of addiction, they are also starting to become aware of the damage the drug is doing to the people and to the place they love.

And another Freeform show bites the dust.
Siren has been canceled after three seasons at the young-skewing cabler, it has been announced.
In its third -- and now final -- season, Siren averaged a 0.11 demo rating and 410,000 total viewers (in Live+Same day numbers).
This is down 30 and 15 percent from one year earlier.
Out of the seven series currently on Freeform’s slate, it ranks second in the demo (trailing only grown-ish) and No. 1 in total audience.
As such, the cancellation is somewhat surprising.
The series took place coastal town of Bristol Cove, Washington, known for its legends of once being home to mermaids and mermen for centuries.
The town is turned upside down when a mysterious young woman (Eline Powell) appears and begins wreaking havoc upon the small fishing town to look for her captured older sister (Sibongile Mlambo) who was abducted at the hands of the local military.

We hope Baby Shark enjoyed its 15 minutes of fame, because it’s about to be blown out of the water. Say hello… to Baby Mermaid. Freeform’s deep-sea drama Siren returns for its third season tonight (9/8c), expanding the mermaids’ mysterious world, as well as Ryn’s personal family tree.
“To be honest, I welled up a little bit,” star Eline Powell tells TVLine of the first time she saw Ryn’s baby fully rendered in the show’s Season 3 trailer. “In those underwater scenes, I have to imagine that the baby is there. I had no idea what it was going to look like,...

War comes to Bristol Cove in Season 3 of Freeform’s Siren (April 2, 9/8c), and Ryn’s baby might just be the ultimate bargaining chip.
“Ben’s shocking decision to let the reporter die at the end of season two has ripple effects in his relationship with Maddie and Ryn,” reads the network’s official synopsis for the third season premiere. “Meanwhile, a dangerous, sophisticated new mermaid arrives in Bristol Cove, challenging Ryn’s leadership and igniting an epic undersea battle between rival tribes. All of this is complicated by the fact that Ryn’s baby, now being carried by a surrogate,...

Season two of You ends on a creepy moment when Joe spies on his new neighbor after moving into a house with Love. We see the said neighbor from behind as she's lounging in her yard. Unsurprisingly, the cliffhanger left the internet eager for answers as to who this mystery woman could be now that season three is in the works. One of the most popular ideas is that Joe tracked down his estranged mom and moved in right next to her. Convincing, right? Well, there are myriad reasons why this theory doesn't necessarily track, including one from Joe's actor himself.
First, let's quickly talk about why this might have seemed like a feasible theory. Joe's all settled now with Love, who's pregnant with their baby (supposedly) and has more or less gotten them cleared of charges. Now that he's found an equally yoked partner, it makes sense for him...

There won't be any more Ascension, at least on Syfy. The cable channel has told Deadline that, "We were very happy with Ascension as an event series, but with so much high profile development in the works, we have decided not to pursue a full series."
Airing in December 2014, Ascension follows an alternate reality in which, in 1963, President Kennedy and the government sent 600 volunteers (men, women, and children) into space on a century-long voyage aboard a self-sustaining generation ship. The cast includes Tricia Helfer, Gil Bellows, Brian Van Holt, Andrea Roth, Brandon P. Bell, Jacqueline Byers, Tiffany Lonsdale, and P.J. Boudousqué.

Space exploration in a hot topic in Hollywood right now. Especially with Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar currently out in theaters. The SyFy Channel has a miniseries coming out called Ascension, which tells the story of a group of people who leave earth in 1963 to find a new planet that can be populated with people.

We’ve got two trailers for the series, as well as a detailed press release that offers up some more details on the story and who stars in the series:
In 1963, the U.S. government launched a covert space mission sending hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the starship Ascension to populate a new world. Nearly 50 years into the journey, as they approach the point of no return,...
