Exclusive: Zdf Studios’ Off the Fence, the company behind Netflix’s BAFTA and Oscar-winning doc My Octopus Teacher, has taken worldwide rights outside of Canada to Resident Orca, a documentary from first-time feature directors Sarah Sharkey Pearce and Simon Schneider.

Ahead of Resident Orca‘s release, the plans for which have not yet been disclosed, the team from Otf will be hitting French documentary marketplace Sunny Side of the Doc with the film later this month.

Nominated for the Documentary Achievement Award upon its April world premiere at the Miami Film Festival, Resident Orca tells the shocking story of a captive whale and the fight for her survival and freedom. After decades of failed attempts to bring her home, an unlikely partnership forms between Indigenous matriarchs, a billionaire philanthropist, killer whale experts, and the aquarium’s new owner who take on the herculean task of freeing Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut (Lolita...

Exclusive: NBC’s Chicago Fire will welcome a new chief when Season 13 premieres and it’s not who was teased in last season’s finale—they’re shaking things up.

No, Herrmann (David Eigenberg) will not be Boden’s (Eamonn Walker) successor for reasons as yet unknown. Sources close to production reveal that 51’s new chief Dom Pascal (which could change) will be an entirely new male character who began his career with the Cfd but spent the last decade as a chief in Sunny Miami. Dom is described as a cheerful person who works well under pressure, and whose leadership style differs from Boden’s. He and his wife are estranged. Casting for the series regular role is currently underway.

There’s been plenty of changes at the Firehouse of late, most recently with Walker departing as a series regular with plans to return in a recurring role in the future.

Spoiler Alert: The following reveals major plot points from NBC’s Chicago Fire’s Season 12 finale “Never Say Goodbye”

Tears were shed in tonight’s Season 12 finale of NBC’s Chicago Fire as actor Eamonn Walker makes his final appearance as Wallace Boden in a series regular capacity. Just get this out of the way, the tears were for many happy reasons and some sad because of course, change is difficult. But, there’s no other way to celebrate Boden than by honoring the character and his achievements which have earned him legions of fans both on and off screen.

Producer Dick Wolf sent Deadline an exclusive statement about Walker’s change in status, below.

“Eamonn was the first actor cast on Chicago Fire, and we knew once he said yes, that we were off and running. His character Chief Wallace Boden was the undisputed leader of Firehouse 51 and, off-screen,...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains storylines from “Never Say Goodbye,” the May 22 Season 12 finale of “Chicago Fire.”

It was a night for goodbyes on “Chicago Fire.” The Season 12 finale was the final episode for Eamonn Walker as Battalion Chief Wallace Boden. The actor, who has served as the chief of Firehouse 51 since the series debuted in 2012, will no longer appear as a series regular beginning next season.

After a hard call, Boden decided to throw his hat into the ring for the job of Deputy Commissioner, mostly because those in the running (specifically Chief Robinson) wouldn’t be able to lead in a way that the department deserves. If he was to become DC, he’d have to leave 51 for good. After telling the team, he then told Herrmann (David Eigenberg) that in the slim chance he got the promotion, he’d like him to take over his job.

Ultimately,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Chicago Fire Season 12 finale “Never Say Goodbye.”] “You made 51 a family, Chief, and this firehouse a home,” Cruz (Joe Minoso) tells Boden in Eamonn Walker‘s last Chicago Fire episode as a series regular. That sums up who Boden is perfectly. He’s back, after helping out James, and determined to keep Chief Robinson from becoming Deputy Commissioner. He also catches up with Severide (Taylor Kinney), who filled in for him while he was gone, and the lieutenant remarks on how much of his job is counseling, something that Herrmann (David Eigenberg) has a knack for. Then, at a structure collapse, Boden goes up on a ladder to help a foreman who’s hanging onto a rope off a suspended platform, only for the man to slip and fall—before the bag below is ready. With a head ...

In this one, we're going to take a look at how this current season 12 is going to wrap up in the next, new, finale episode 13, which is scheduled to show up tonight, May 22, 2024. We were able to get a hold of 3, new, official teaser descriptions for this new episode 13 straight from the NBC folks by way of their official episode 13 press release synopsis. To get things started, we've got an official title for this new episode 13 of Chicago Fire season 12. It's called, "Never Say Goodbye." It sounds like episode 13 will feature some very interesting, intense, dramatic and emotional scenes as a very important decision takes place. A tense call happens. Mouch struggles and more.

A big change is coming to Firehouse 51. Longtime Chicago Fire cast member Eamonn Walker will make his last appearance as a series regular in the show’s May 22 season 12 finale. Unsurprisingly, Deputy Chief Boden’s exit will be an emotional one, based on a teaser for the upcoming episode.

Eamonn Walker says goodbye in ‘Chicago Fire’ Season 12 finale

Chicago Fire’s strike-shortened season 12 has already seen a few major cast shakeups. Kara Killmer (Sylvie Brett) and Alberto Rosende (Blake Gallo) left early in the season, and Jocelyn Hudon joined the show midway through the season as paramedic Lyla Novak.

Now, one of the NBC drama’s longest-serving cast members is on his way out. Walker has decided to leave the show after 12 seasons. Though he’s expected to be back in a recurring capacity in the future, his last episode as a series regular will be “Never Say Goodbye.” (NBC...

Actress Miranda Rae Mayo shared some Chicago Fire spoilers about the big season finale.

One of the recognizable stars from the One Chicago shows, Miranda plays Lieutenant Stella Kidd.

Kidd was absent from the latest episode as Firehouse 51 dealt with the loss of Truck 81. Through character conversations, we learned she was in California hot on the trail of a new truck.

Things got more tense with Paramedic Chief Robinson, though, after Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) reported her right-hand man (Lennox) for nearly killing a patient in the field.

People have had to step up and lead the house recently. The absence of Chief Boden (Eamonn Walker) has led to some interesting storylines.

Unfortunately, part of the season finale includes an “emotional farewell” to Boden.

Miranda Rae Mayo shares Chicago Fire spoilers

During a recent The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon appearance, Miranda spoke about what fans can expect from the Chicago Fire Season 12 finale.

“Character dilemmas and shocks abound!” Chicago Fire executive producer Andrea Newman warns of the Season 12 finale. In “Never Say Goodbye,” airing on May 22, Boden (Eamonn Walker) makes a decision that impacts the race for Deputy Commissioner. It’s also Walker’s final episode as a series regular, and the promo highlights the emotional farewell to come. “Boden has been managing a lot of change at home (with his stepson James) and at 51, and learned a lot while doing it, including about himself,” Newman tells TV Insider. “A shocking incident in the finale will highlight what it means to him to be a leader, and everyone close to him will be impacted in a huge way by the decision he makes.” And it sounds like there are other shakeups to come as well. “There are so many decisions to ...

Chicago Fire is about to close its doors on Season 12.

The season has been a bit disjointed due to having fewer episodes. Losing cast members didn’t help.

Kara Killmer ended her run as Paramedic Sylvie Brett, and Alberto Rosende finished his time as Firefighter Blake Gallo.

Gallo’s replacement also left. That role was Firefighter Jake Gibson, played by Rome Flynn for a few episodes.

Jack Damon (Michael Bradway) has replaced Gibson, while Lizzy Novak (Joselyn Hudon) has replaced Brett. Will they last? Stay tuned!

Unfortunately, another series regular ends their run on the season finale.

Chicago Fire Losing Major Star After Season 12 Finale

After the Chicago Fire Season 12 finale, Eamonn Walker will leave the TV series. He is an original cast member who has been on the show since the start, playing Deputy District Chief Wallace Boden. Unlike many characters who die on the show, Boden will get a more distinguished farewell.

Walker, 61, decided he wanted to take a step back from his role on the show. Normally,...

Chicago Fire is losing another original cast member. Eamonn Walker, who has starred as Wallace Boden since the series premiere, will be leaving the NBC drama in the Season 12 finale, according to Deadline. It said to be his decision, and there is some good news: According to the report, we don’t have to worry about him dying in a season-ending emergency and he “is expected” to be back on a recurring basis. This does make it sound like the once Battalion Chief and now Deputy District Chief may very well be the next Deputy Commissioner. He is on the shortlist for the gig, and according to the logline for the May 22 final, “Never Say Goodbye”—in which he’ll appear, following Boden taking time off to help his stepson—he will be making a decision that impacts the race for that position. One way to explain his absence at...

Exclusive: Chicago Fire original cast member Eamonn Walker is stepping away from his series regular duties on the hit NBC series after 12 seasons portraying boss Wallace Boden, Deadline has learned.

While there have been multiple cast changes of late on OneChicago, we understand that the decision to step back was his own. The Boden character is still very much alive and well, sources said, and Walker is expected to return to the show in a recurring capacity in the future.

Fans will find more clarity regarding what’s been happening with Boden and his plans moving forward in the Season 12 finale “Never Say Goodbye” airing on May 22.

Spoiler alert! If you haven’t seen Thursday’s episode of “And Just Like That”, proceed with caution.

As the Max reboot of “Sex and the City”, “And Just Like That”, continues to find its footing, viewers were treated to a post-Mr. Big rarity in Thursday’s episode. Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) has mostly been in a romantic desert since the death of her husband, Mr. Big (Chris Noth), in the show’s first season.

But after she’s stopped in her tracks in a Manhattan bike lane, Carrie finds herself striking up a romance with app designer George (Peter Hermann). The two TV staples have great on-screen chemistry, and it seems that Mrs. Bradshaw just might have found a new Prince Charming.

But the romance is short-lived once Carrie realizes that George and his business partner are in their own marriage of sorts. When George tries to claim...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains details of tonight’s season and likely series finale of Murphy Brown

If the revived Murphy Brown is really and truly ending for good with tonight’s Season 11 finale, creator Diane English made sure the Emmy winning journalism comedy went out with a mix of fictionalized bigwigs and real life talking heads. Unfortunately, all that couldn’t blow the wig off anyone in a return that has never captured the tenor of the times nor any real traction.

On the sidelines in many ways from its September 17 debut, the 13-episode latest round of the Candice Bergen led series has been up against the primetime dominance of Thursday Night Football on Fox week after sometimes series low hitting week. Tonight there was no Tnf but now the “Happy New Year” episode faced the last half hour of the feature length Timeless series ender over on NBC.

Although the Louvin Brothers’ illustrious career yielded such memorable singles as “I Don’t Believe You’ve Met My Baby,” “When I Stop Dreaming,” and the classic LP, Satan Is Real, the discovery of a treasure trove of previously unreleased demo recordings from siblings Charlie and Ira adds a stunning coda to the Louvins’ already impressive legacy. Love & Wealth: The Lost Recordings, out September 28th on Modern Harmonic, features 29 previously unreleased songwriting demo recordings from 1951-1956, and also includes a spoken audio letter from Ira to Acuff-Rose, the music publishers...
