As CBS’ prepares to unspool Blue Bloods‘ final eight episodes, Tom Selleck is mulling a return to Paradise.

Years prior to Blue Bloods‘ 2010 debut, Selleck starred in Jesse Stone: Stone Cold, the first of what would be nine made-for-tv movies based on Robert B. Parker’s novels about the titular police chief of Paradise, Mass., a small New England town.

Since Jason returned to General Hospital earlier this year, he and his best bud Spinelli have only shared the screen once. But their portrayers revealed that’s about to change very soon.

They’re Back!

As first reported by Daily Drama, who runs Steve Burton (Jason) and Bradford Anderson’s (Spinelli) podcast of the same name, the actors were recently back on set together.

Burton shared a clip walking down the Gh hallways, saying it was a typical day on set until Anderson ran up behind him. “Stonecold and The Jackal are back!” Burton announced as they stopped in front of a blue Gh sign.

Burton encouraged viewers to tune in, saying it was going to be “awesome” before Anderson let a little spoiler slip. “We’re on screen together, too,” he whispered to the camera. “We’re working together… on screen,” he emphasized.

The real-life friends are used to working together on their podcast,...

In tonight's repeat episode, the Dateline NBC team took a deep look at a story about an Arizona boss who was tragically shot to death. The investigators who worked this case ended up finding a lot of people who had bruised egos in his working life, and...

Somewhere, at this very moment, someone's dad is probably watching one of the Jesse Stone movies on DVD, and that man is having a great afternoon. After this, he might pop in "Ford v. Ferrari" for the seventh time.

The character of Jesse Stone began his life in a series of airport novels written by the late Robert B. Parker. The first Jesse Stone novel, "Night Passage," was published in 1997 and it followed the titular former LAPD detective (and divorced recovering alcoholic) as he investigated money laundering and murder in Paradise, Massachusetts. Parker had a hit on his hands with "Night Passage," and proceeded to writer eight additional Jesse Stone novels from 1998 up until his death in 2010. Jesse Stone had become an institution at that point, and other authors began writing Stone novels in Parker's style. There have been 11 additional Jesse Stone novels written after Parker's death. 

Starting in 2005, Jesse...

With its list of new releases for July 2023, Prime Video is going to help you stay safe from the oppressive July sun.

Highlighting the Amazon Originals on the TV side this month are two heavy hitters. The first is The Horror of Dolores Roach on July 7. Based on a podcast of the same name, this series could best be described as a modern day Sweeney Todd? Why, you ask? Well you know why. Think about it. Then season 2 of Neil Gaiman adaptation Good Omens premieres on July 28. This season will follow angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and demon Crowley (David Tenant) as they seek to keep the Archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) away from both heaven and hell.

There aren’t any Amazon Original movies of note this month and that’s alright as the influx of library titles is more than enough. July 1 sees the arrival of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, No Country for Old Men,...

While summer starts in June, things truly heat up in July, and that includes all the hot new drops on streamers. Amazon’s Prime Video has refreshed its slate of content with over 60 new movies, like Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born” and the 1973 animated adaption of the children’s book “Charlotte’s Web.”

Prime Video kicks off the start of the month with Doug McHenry’s “Jason’s Lyric,” “Father of the Bride,” and “Little Nicky.”

Prime Video is also giving watchers some ultimate film classics like “Free Willy,” ”Gladiator,” and “Dances With Wolves.”

Last but absolutely not least, Season 2 of “Good Omens” will land on...

The Jesse Stone movies are some of the best recent additions to the crime genre. The film follows the titular character, played by Tom Selleck, as he solves crimes in the small town of Paradise, Massachusetts.

While the movies are procedural, they also offer a deep and complex look at human relationships and the darker side of human nature. For example, the Jesse Stone movies are gripping tales of crime and suspense, with plenty of twists and turns along the way.

Each movie is entirely fascinating, and you’ll find yourself rooting for Jesse every step of the way. If you’re looking for great tv movies, be sure to watch Jesse Stone Movies. There are nine films in the Jesse Stone franchise; you won’t get bored soon.

Here is the list of all nine Jesse Stone movies in order of the release date.

A&e and WWE are expanding their original programming partnership in a multi-year deal calling for more wrestler-themed episodes of Biography as well as new series WWE Rivals.

In all, more than 130 new hours of programming are expected to result from the teaming. For both parties, it extends a mutually beneficial relationship with A&e. The cable network does not carry WWE bouts live (NBCUniversal’s USA and Peacock have the rights to weekly franchises Raw and SmackDown). Even so, themed programming enables A&e to benefit from the wrestling circuit’s popularity and ubiquity and provides WWE with yet another media home.

The outcome thus far has been positive. A Biography installment focused on “Stone Cold” Steve Austin last year drew 1.06 million viewers, the highest rating for the franchise in 16 years.

Programming produced via the partnership will air exclusively on A&e linear and digital platforms and will be...

Give us a “Hell yeah!” Tomorrow is 3:16, which makes this week “Stone Cold Week” in the eyes of the WWE Universe. TheWrap can exclusively reveal the trailer for the event, which includes “Birth of the Stunner” and a “Broken Skull Sessions” episode featuring Randy Orton.

Crack open a cold one and watch the trailer above.

“Stone Cold Week” will be a transitional period for the professional wrestling company’s programming, in that it will begin Tuesday on WWE Network and transition to Peacock on Thursday. That’s because WWE Network is being folded into the NBCUniversal streaming service on Thursday, March 18. However, WWE Network will still be available as a standalone service until April 4, so subscribers not following WWE’s sunsetting SVOD platform can still watch the entirety of “Stone Cold Week” — and Sunday’s “Fastlane” pay-per-view.

What fans who do not transition with WWE Network to Peacock will...

WWE is shutting down WWE Network as a standalone service in the U.S. next month, when it will move exclusively to NBCUniversal’s Peacock.

The cutover date is April 4 — a week ahead of WrestleMania 37 — and prior to that, WWE Network customers will need to have signed up for a Peacock subscription in order to keep getting all the ring action.

As previously announced, under the companies’ multiyear deal, all WWE Network content including all pay-per-view events will be available on Peacock Premium with ads, regularly priced at $4.99 per month (half the $9.99 monthly cost of WWE Network).

In a limited-time promo, Peacock starting Monday (March 8) is offering new customers four months of Peacock Premium with ads for $9.99, for a 50% discount. More info on the special offer, which expires April 9, is available at this link.

WWE Network also will be available on the $9.99/month ad-free version of Peacock Premium; also note...

Streaming viewers smell what “Young Rock” is cooking. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s new sitcom debuted to the largest digital audience of any NBC comedy ever, TheWrap has learned.

NBC executives are no jabronies.

At this point, “Young Rock’s” Feb. 16, 2021 series premiere (and its encores) has amassed a 3.4 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic and 11.8 million total viewers. Since those numbers include digital platforms — Hulu, the NBC app and Peacock — we really can’t compare them to programming on another network. But we can tell you that using NBC’s in-house data, multiplatform ratings for the “Young Rock” debut are lower than only the network’s “This Is Us” season premiere last fall.

We can also look at “Young Rock’s” growth. The series premiere drew a 1.0 rating in “live” TV viewing. With three days of delayed viewing, that linear-only number grew to a 1.4. Then add another 0.7, or another one-third of the overall viewing,...

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin has stomped a mudhole in countless pro wrestlers. Tonight, the WWF/WWE legend plays in the mud with country star Luke Combs on the “Straight Up Steve Austin” Season 2 debut.

Combs can’t believe he got to go off-roading with Austin. For his part, Austin can’t believe Season 2 of his unorthodox talk show, which was supposed to begin production on March 30, is in the can and coming to USA Network.

“I didn’t even think we were gonna film [in 2020],” Austin told TheWrap. “A window of opportunity opened up between August and Nov. 3 and we jumped on it. We were able to secure all the guests that we had and do some reshuffling around.”

Good thing they have one hell of a production team — for several reasons.

Austin told us that his only original idea (personally) for Season 2 was “I wanna go four-wheeling with Luke Combs.

The death of Jon Huber, who wrestled in WWE as Luke Harper and more recently in Aew as Brodie Lee, shook the sports-entertainment world in late December 2020. It wasn’t so much his in-ring ability (which was highly respected and decorated) or even his age that brought most of the men and women who literally look like comic book superheroes to their knees: Huber was known to be a true family man in a business that isn’t exactly built for family men.

While we had a wrestling’s Mt. Rushmore-level legend on the phone, TheWrap asked “Stone Cold” Steve Austin for his thoughts on Huber’s very untimely passing.

“I just absolutely couldn’t believe it because the guy was a tremendous hand in the business, but he was a sweetheart of a guy,” Austin said. “When he was in WWE, we would talk every now and then on...

Demi Lovato has shared an empowering message about being single.

The 28-year-old songstress, who called off her engagement with actor Max Ehrich has now opened up about her relationship status.

On Saturday, the 'Stone Cold' singer took to her Instagram stories, where she posted a brief message reminding her fans that you don't need to be in a relationship be happy.

"The best part about being single is knowing that my happiness is coming from no other person than myself," Demi Lovato wrote along with a pink heart emoji.

USA Network has set the Season 2 premiere date and guest lineup for “Straight Up Steve Austin,” and finalized a trailer for the series. And that’s the bottom line, because, well, you get it.

Coming off the disappointing More Than A Feeling, I wasn’t thrilled with how Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series was turning out. While I appreciated the fact that the story at least appeared to have some direction, as well as the solid additions of Nebula and Mantis to the core cast, a multitude of issues ruined the experienced. Like way too many Telltale projects, technical bugs were constantly popping up, and the tepid action sequences are still an awkward fit for the Guardians. The latest episode, Who Needs You, does a solid job of fixing these issues, but even as the series begins to wrap up, there are still problems to be found.

Picking up directly following the events of episode three, Who Needs You focuses on the Guardians dealing with the aftermath of whether or not Star-Lord destroyed the Eternity Forge. Regardless of your choice,...

A new TV spot has been released for WWE 2K16 which puts the spotlight on a number of fan-favourite WWE Superstars meeting around a campfire to confront their demons. That includes Stone Cold Steve Austin looking back on his battles with Mankind, while current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins reflects on his lucky escape earlier this year from Brock Lesnar.

In other WWE 2K16 news, it has been revealed today that the managers set to be included in the game are Paul Heyman, Paul Bearer, Bobby Heenan, Brad Maddox, Lana, Rosa Mendes, Gerry Brisco, Jimmy Hart, Col. Robert Parker, Pat Patterson, Sherri Martel, Mr. McMahon, Corporate Stephanie McMahon, Miss Elizabeth, Ted Dibiase and Zeb Colter. That’s a very diverse and interesting selection, and there’s not really anyone who has been forgotten about.

With some cool new gameplay additions such as the ability to use the ropes during...

Marvel Studios is taking its biggest risk yet with Guardians of the Galaxy, banking on an obscure team of heroes to bridge the gap until the next Avengers flick roars into theaters. But there's an even larger obstacle standing in the way of box-office success: Dave Bautista.

To the uninitiated, Bautista is a six-time world champion in Vince McMahon's wrestling circus, and one of the most iconic squared-circle stars of the last decade. In Guardians, he plays intergalactic warrior Drax the Destroyer, which is unquestionably his biggest role to date.

Writer/producer/director John Fasano, best known for his work in the horror genre, died in his sleep Saturday night at the age of 52, his attorney Craig Baumgarten confirmed. No cause of death was available. Fasano was nominated for a Writers Guild Award in 1996 for writing the teleplay for The Hunchback for TNT. He also had a hand in more than 40 other film and TV projects, including writing the hit Tom Selleck TV movie Stone Cold, Iraq war TV docudramas Saving Jessica Lynch and The Hunt for Saddam, and films including Alien 3, Meggido: The Omega Code 2, Darkness Falls and Another 48 Hours. Fasano also worked as a script doctor […]...

Given the news that American professional wrestling legend Dave Bautista (The Scorpion King 3: Battle For Redemption) has been cast as Drax in the forthcoming Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy, I thought I’d take a look at the ten best films to feature fighters turned actors. Check them out below:

Enter The Dragon (1973)

No list of fighters turned actor would be complete without Bruce Lee. Widely considered to be the best Martial Arts expert ever, he even invented his own Martial Arts philosophy – Jeet Kune Do. Before dying at the age of 32 Lee starred in a string of Kung Fu movies the best known of which is Enter The Dragon. What it lacks in plot and dialogue it more than makes up for in sheer power and energy.

The Mummy Returns (2001)

Dwayne Johnson found fame in the ring as ‘The Rock’ and proved to be a firm fan favourite.

The people have spoken. Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner will be sobbing into their breakfasts, for the film you wanted us to live blog today is Kathryn Bigelow's K19: The Widowmaker. What happened when Catherine Shoard sat down at 12:05 to watch it on Channel 4?

11.47am: It's matinee time again here at the Guardian; join us from noon for an upsetting tale of deep sea disaster.

12.04pm: Yikes - ok folks, slightly close call, but here in time for the credits I think.

12.04pm: It's beginning. Militaristic font there. With a little light Russia style string twanging. And definite ominous orchestral undertones.

12.05pm: So - based on true events. Set in 1961. Submarine distaster at the height of the Cold War.

12.06pm: Buttons. Action. Men. Uniforms. Liam Neeson doing faint Russian accent - the way to signify they're all Soviet rather than actually talking in Russian.

12.07pm: I'm finding this quite exciting.

The Hallmark Channel has inked a deal with Sony Pictures TV to acquire the miniseries "Comanche Moon," two more "Stone Cold" telefilms and 18 classic musicals to air on sibling Hallmark Movie Channel.

The musicals include "Bye Bye Birdie" (1963), "Funny Lady" (1975), Oscar best picture winner "Oliver!" (1968), "Pal Joey" (1957) and "Pennies From Heaven" (1936). They will run as part of a franchise block on Hallmark Movie Channel, which is dedicated to family-friendly theatricals.

The acquisition of two more "Stone Cold" movies comes after the first in the CBS franchise, starring Tom Selleck as a self-destructive homicide detective, has done well on the Hallmark Channel. "Comanche," which also originally aired on CBS, will be added to the cable channel's Western library.

Hallmark's latest off-network acquisition, "The Golden Girls," premieres March 1.

Emmy winner Tom Selleck is in discussions to join NBC's Las Vegas as the fast-paced drama's new leading man.

He would play the smart, powerful, fun-loving new owner of Montecito Resort & Casino, a new character designed to fill the void left by the recent departure of the show's star James Caan.

Caan, who played the head of the casino's surveillance team for four years, recently left the series to return to features (HR 2/28).

Vegas, from NBC Universal TV Studio and DreamWorks TV, was picked up for a fifth season in February and is slated to begin production on its order soon. The show also is looking to add a beautiful female concierge in the wake of the departure of co-star Nikki Cox.

Josh Duhamel also stars on Vegas, with Molly Sims, James Lesure and Vanessa Marcil rounding out the cast.

Selleck's starring role on Vegas would mark his first regular gig on a drama series since his Emmy-winning turn on Magnum, P.I.

He followed that up with memorable recurring roles on NBC's hit comedy Friends and, most recently, on ABC's dramedy Boston Legal.

Selleck also has had success with the Stone Cold series of original movies for CBS, with the latest installment, Jesse Stone: Sea Change, slated to premiere in May.

A sequel to last year's top-rated miniseries Category 6: Day of Destruction, a ripped-from-the-headlines movie about the real-life serial killer known as BTK and a holiday movie starring Mary Tyler Moore are on CBS' slate of movies and miniseries for the upcoming season. CBS also is building on the success of two of its biggest movies of the past couple of years, with a prequel to Stone Cold, starring Tom Selleck, and a sequel to The Christmas Shoes, featuring Rob Lowe. "Our goal was to have a diverse slate of movies, with a mix of high-concept movies, story-driven vehicles and some branded and ripped-from-the-headlines pieces," said Bela Bajaria, senior vp movies and miniseries at CBS. "CBS really believes in the movie franchise as what we always say about the network: It's a unique mix of programming for a wide audience -- we are a 'broad'-caster." CBS officially has greenlighted a big-budget, fact-based drama centering on the life of the late Pope John Paul II, who died in April. The four-hour mini, tentatively titled Pope John Paul II, spans his youth in Poland to the latter days of his 26-year reign.

CBS stormed back to full strength Thursday with the debut of Survivor: Palau, which delivered the best performance for a Survivor premiere in more than three years and helped give the eye network its most-watched Thursday since at least 1987. Meanwhile, during the weekend, NBC did respectable numbers Sunday with its two-hour Saturday Night Live special focusing on the show's early years, while CBS also drew a crowd against tough competition from ABC's Desperate Housewives with its Tom Selleck thriller Stone Cold. On Sunday afternoon, Fox Sports raked 'em in with near-record ratings for its live coverage of NASCAR's Daytona 500, which went down to the wire until Jeff Gordon clinched the win in the final minutes.
