Samantha Ware, Juan Castano, Keith Powers and Saamer Usmani join the cast of Mike Kelley’s social thriller “What / If”, Netflix announced today.
The four join Renée Zellweger, Jane Levy, and Blake Jenner on the social thriller, which explores the ripple effects of what happens when acceptable people start doing unacceptable things. Each season will tackle a different morality tale inspired by culturally consequential source material, and the power of a single fateful decision to change the trajectory of an entire life.
Tyler Perry has offered former “Cosby Show” star and current ‘Trader Joes’ employee Geoffrey Owens a role on his hit soapie “The Haves and Have Nots”.
One of television’s most successful franchises is tackling a very relevant and topical subject matter as iconic Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf brings “Law & Order: Hate Crimes” to audiences beginning with a 13-episode order from NBC.
Co-created with former “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” showrunner Warren Leight, the latest installment of the enduring and wildly popular “Law & Order” franchise is based on New York’s actual Hate Crimes Task Force, the second oldest bias-based task force in the U.S. The unit, which pledges to uphold a zero tolerance policy against discrimination of any kind, works under the NYPD’s real Special Victims Unit and often borrows SVU’s detectives to assist in their investigations. The first incarnation of this new unit will be introduced in the latter part of the upcoming 20th season of “SVU.”
“As ‘Law & Order: SVU’ enters its remarkable 20th season, it is exciting to get back into business with Dick Wolf on a new ‘Law & Order’ incarnation that feels extremely timely,” said Lisa Katz, Co-President of Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment. “Considering that last year there was a double-digit rise in hate crimes in our 10 largest cities – the highest total in over a decade – it seemed like this topic is begging to be explored.”
A photo of the “Star Trek : The Next Generation” cast having a reunion dinner has sparked suggestion that Patrick Stewart might be joined by some of his former co-stars on the new “Trek” show he’s attached to.
