Invincible boss teases season 4’s "completely original" story in major change from comics

description: Clancy Brown's demon detective is back.
encoded: Along with the Viltrumite War arc and the long-awaited debut of Dinosaurus, Invincible season 4 will see the return of a character in a change from the comics that's 'completely original to the show'. In preparation for the big reveal, series co-showrunners and executive producers Robert Kirkman and Simon Racioppa, have given us a tease about its great importance. In season 1 of Invincible, demon detective Damien Darkblood was part of the show’s initial storyline about investigating Omni-Man (Nolan Grayson) as the prime suspect for murdering the Guardians of the Globe. His part in the television adaptation ended a bit differently compared to the comics. In the show, Cecil sent him back to Hell to stop him from interfering with his own plans; originally, Darkblood was more of a gag character in the comics, and naturally disappeared from the story once Omni-Man's guilt was revealed. View Green Video on the source website Years after a slight tease during a post-credits scene of his final season 1 episode, and confirmation with a new scene at the end of season 3 where he speaks to Satan, Damien Darkblood will be making his Invincible return in season 4 — via a new storyline that’s completely original to the show. As gathered from snippets of Invincible’s season 4 trailers so far, Darkblood’s new story seems to be set in Hell — it appears that we'll see him don intimidating armour to take on a powerful enemy, and pull Mark Grayson into the fray. When asking Kirkman and Racioppa about how this will affect and fit in with the Viltrumite War Arc — the main plot of season 4 — both were keen to share that this wasn’t skippable content, and is still important to the show, both for comic fans and those who only know Invincible through the series. "We always change things and enhance things and lengthen stories and shorten stories, so there’s a lot of big differences in this show. But to have something that's completely original and completely new, you know, hasn't happened a l…

The premise remains a simple one – try and make the other contestants laugh, while also ensuring they don't laugh either. Whoever manages to stand firm in not breaking into laughter will be crowned the winner. The reigning champion from last season, Bob Mortimer, re-enters the game to defend his crown but has admitted that it is a "different dynamic". In an interview with Radio Times magazine, the comedian admitted: “I think the first three that I clocked were Alan Carr, Romesh and David, and I thought, ‘Uh-oh, I have no chance. This is tough.’” But who else is in Last One Laughing UK season 2? Read on to find out more about which familiar faces will be on our screens for the show's second outing.

The pair went on to star in Peep Show, a much beloved and award-winning sitcom. Together, the pair have written and starred in several sketch shows, with their most recent being Mitchell and Webb Are Not Helping. Mitchell's other works include Ludwig, Upstart Crow, Would I Lie to You? and now, Last One Laughing UK. Not being a stand-up comedian himself, Mitchell admitted it was "easier" facing off with the comedians as he has experienced more comedy in situations "where no one laughs". "You know, a show like Peep Show – no one’s laughing. And that’s no reflection on the script," he told Radio Times. Diane Morgan Age: 50 In…

description: All eight episodes of Young Sherlock are now available to stream on Prime Video.
encoded: *Warning - contains full spoilers for all eight episodes of Young Sherlock.* With the entire series of Young Sherlock being available to stream in full on Prime Video now, there were a lot of typical Sherlock-style twists and turns to come in the show's final episodes. Hero Fiennes Tiffin takes the lead as a young Sherlock Holmes in this new Guy Ritchie series, who is at the helm of uncovering a global conspiracy. Across eight suspenseful episodes, the case took on a personal touch for Sherlock as he discovered that a web of murder led back to his own father Silas (played by Joseph Fiennes). It turns out that Silas had been attempting to sell on a deadly nerve agent, which only brought danger and chaos to the globe. But what was Silas actually doing, how did Sherlock's long-dead sister Beatrice factor in and what happened to Princess Shou'an (Zine Tseng), who had been out for vengeance. Read on for everything you need to know about the ending of Young Sherlock. Young Sherlock ending explained: What happened with Silas Holmes? Throughout Young Sherlock, it became clear that Sherlock and Mycroft's father, Silas, wasn't all he appeared to be. In actual fact, while suffering from money troubles some years prior to the series taking place, he had had his wife Cordelia committed to an asylum, in order to stop her from separating their finances and leaving him penniless. He had also become wrapped up in a scheme to create and sell a deadly nerve agent, which had been cooked up at Oxford University and tested on a Chinese village. The programme was paid for by the British government and run by Bucephalus Hodge, but the nerve agent's creator Professor Malick, had turned on Hodge and killed him, in order to sell it to the highest bidder – Silas. While Silas planned to sell this first back to the British government on an exclusive basis, he also intended to double cross them, selling it on to governments around the world - anyone who would pay. In the finale, Shou'an blew up S…

description: It's time to say goodbye to Outlander.
encoded: It's the second week of brand new Outlander episodes, and already, the series is doing what it does best by packing emotional punches galore. This week's second episode sees a surprise character death, which leaves a dark cloud over the Frasers, but at least we also get the heady highs of childbirth as Ian and Rachel welcome their son into the world. This eighth season is the one that fans are both excited for but silently dreading as they will be the very last of Outlander, with it set to be an emotional farewell to our cast, which, as ever, is led by Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe as Jamie and Claire. While we have a way to go yet until the final episode, the ending of Outlander is obviously something we're all wondering about. Executive producer Maril Davis remarked to Radio Times and other press: "You don’t want your whole eight years or eight seasons to come down to that one episode, but it is kind of the one episode that people remember, and that’s the last thing you have." But when do new episodes of Outlander get released? Read on for everything you need to know about the season 8 schedule. When did Outlander season 8 premiere on MGM+? Outlander season 8 premiered on MGM+ in the UK on Saturday 7 March 2026, one day after it debuts in the US on STARZ on Friday 6 March. That means that going forward, episodes will be released on Saturdays here in the UK and on Fridays in the US. What is Outlander season 8's release schedule?

description: Forget the hard stare and slammed fist – today’s detectives solve crimes by thinking differently.
encoded: When it comes to playing the long game, few people have more patience than fans of Dr Kay Scarpetta. Patricia Cornwell’s forensic pathologist has been solving murders in readers’ imaginations ever since the publication of Postmortem back in 1990. Yet it has taken until 2026 for crime fiction’s most famous medical examiner to finally journey from bookshelves to the screen. Now, at last, she arrives in Scarpetta, with Nicole Kidman snapping on the latex gloves for Prime Video. After 30-odd years of anticipation, the adaptation feels less like a premiere and more like the end of one of television’s longest gestation periods. But Scarpetta’s debut is also oddly well-timed. Because if the current wave of American crime drama proves anything, it’s that the procedural – once the most stubbornly male corner of TV – has quietly become a genre led by women. Every good detective needs evidence, of course, so let’s consult the schedules. There we find the reboot of Matlock, where Kathy Bates plays an underestimated older lawyer who proves far more formidable than the sleek New York firm that hires her initially suspects. Elsewhere, there’s High Potential, in which Kaitlin Olson’s single parent – armed with a sky-high IQ and a low tolerance for policy – becomes an unlikely asset to the LAPD. Over in Elsbeth, Carrie Preston solves crimes largely by being so winningly kooky that suspects forget they’re supposed to be lying to her. And anchoring Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Mariska Hargitay’s Olivia Benson has spent three decades proving that empathy can be just as powerful a weapon as intimidation when tackling especially heinous crimes. What distinguishes these shows isn’t simply that women stand at their centre. It’s that the mysteries unfold differently because they do. Their appeal lies not just in who gets top billing, but in the fresh perspectives their crime-solvers bring to the case. To see how much has changed, it helps to look back at the traditional protagonists…

description: Safe to say, we have questions.
encoded: **Warning: contains full spoilers for Scarpetta season 1.** Long awaited by fans of Patricia Cornwell's writing, the first season of Scarpetta adapts not one but two of her books for screen. While the modern-day story draws from 2021’s Autopsy, the flashback timeline is inspired by Postmortem, the first book that introduced us to Dr Kay Scarpetta back in 1990. Season 1 jumps back and forth between the two, exploring how an early investigation ties into new murders that the titular lead has been tasked to solve. But the team behind Scarpetta are already looking to the future, too. Season 1 ends with a wild cliffhanger, the kind that would infuriate you no end if the show was suddenly cancelled there and then. Luckily, Prime Video renewed Scarpetta for a second season before the first one even came out, and with good reason too. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter ahead of release, star and executive producer Nicole Kidman teased: "When you see all eight, you’ll see why you couldn’t end it there." And she was absolutely right to say it. So let's start a little investigation of our own and look closer at what exactly happens at the end of Scarpetta season 1. Scarpetta season 1 ending explained: Who was the killer? So it turns out there were two killers, one operating in each timeline. The 90s killer was already revealed to be a 911 operator one chapter earlier in the penultimate episode. Using emergency call records (and soap?), Scarpetta figured out that Roy McCorkle was choosing his victims based on their voices. After she tracked him down, Scarpetta ended up killing him by stabbing him in the neck. And with no mobile phones to hand back then, McCorkle wasn't exactly in a position to call 911 for himself now, was he? View Green Video on the source website Kay's brother-in-law, detective Pete Marino, arrived straight after and finished the guy off. He then covered for Scarpetta by telling the authorities that he and he alone was the one who figured everything out and c…

description: Aaron Paul won't be returning as Powerplex.
encoded: Season 4 of Invincible is once again set to up the ante with the start of the Viltrumite War saga and its other unique stories, adapted from the comics. But one major change is coming in the shape of Aaron Paul, who won’t be rejoining the show as Powerplex — and the franchise’s creator has given us a bit more insight behind it all. Voiced by the Breaking Bad actor since the character's debut, Powerplex (aka Scott Duvall) was one of the show's most tragic figures. After being on a war path of revenge against Mark Grayson’s Invincible for the deaths of his sister and niece, Powerplex ends up going too far with his electrical powers against the hero, and accidentally kills his wife and infant child as well. Powerplex had lines in episodes spread throughout the rest of season 3, and it was initially assumed Aaron Paul would be back to voice the character in season 4 of Invincible, if the villain was returning. However, Paul revealed in a late 2025 episode of the Kinda Funny Gamescast that although he was asked to come back for season 4, he declined the offer due to playing the character being "just way too grueling on [his] psyche". He even added that, due to the actor’s dedicated approach to the character, being Powerplex was a "skin [he] didn’t feel comfortable in". View Green Video on the source website When Radio Times asked Invincible co-showrunners and executive producers, Robert Kirkman (also Invincible’s creator) and Simon Racioppa, if they were surprised about Paul’s departure, they suggested that the actor declined to return based on logistics. Kirkman said: "Animation is a different animal. In live action, a lot of times, you have to change how things are written to expand roles and things to maintain having an actor stay on for a role. "In animation, there’s a little bit more freedom in following the actual story." Continuing, he added: "I think that if you look at the Powerplex character, he's still present, and he, you know, pops up from time to time, but …

The action has already reached fever pitch this season, as Aldis Hodge's (Black Adam) Alex Cross has teamed up with the morally grey Kayla Craig, played by Alona Tal (SEAL Team), to track down a deadly vigilante, Luz. Throughout the season, Luz has been killing off corrupt billionaires and is coming for the despicable Lance Durand, played by Matthew Lillard (Scream 7). Meanwhile Cross's his best friend John Sampson, played by Isaiah Mustafa (It: Chapter Two), has been on his own journey, as he discovered that his mother, who he believed to be dead, is actually alive and on the wrong side of the law.

encoded: Spanish giants Barcelona visit Newcastle United for the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Tuesday evening. The Mags eased past Qarabag in the play-off round and have been rewarded with a glitzy draw against the LaLiga leaders, which should help Eddie Howe rally his troops after the weekend's defeat in the FA Cup. Though Newcastle have played their best football in Europe this season, they'll know they need to be at their best to progress, having been beaten at home by Barcelona in the League Phase in September. Watch Newcastle v Barcelona live on TNT Sports via discovery+ on Amazon Prime Video The visitors finished fifth in the League Phase table to qualify directly for the last 16 and have shored things up defensively in recent weeks. Marcus Rashford was the star at St James' Park earlier this season but the Man Utd loanee may have to settle for a place on the bench, with Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski likely to get the nod in what is a fearsome forward unit.

Jimmy Carr reveals why late friend Sean Lock would have been perfect for Last One Laughing – as Roisin Conaty talks dream cast members

description: The comedians are back to police potential giggles from the control room – but which one is the good cop?
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. "I knew straight away on the day we were recording that it was like catching lightning in a bottle. It was obviously good stuff,” says Roisin Conaty. “It was a great antidote to watching the news,” adds her co-host Jimmy Carr. “It’s impossible to be sad or angry while laughing. Right show at the right time.” For this second series of LOL: Last One Laughing UK Carr and Conaty are back to preside over the shenanigans, watching from the comfort of their “control room”, where they have the added benefit of being able to laugh whenever they please. They’re on the lookout for even an inkling of a chuckle from the 10 contestants, with about 40 cameras documenting every angle. If they’re caught, the stars are given a yellow-card warning. A second infraction means a red card and elimination, at which point they join Carr and Conaty in the control room. “People came in having watched series one, and no one wanted to go out straight away, so everyone was locked and loaded to win. It’s like watching someone hold their breath – they’re going to have to breathe at some point,” says Conaty. “I’m pretty on it,” she adds. “At one point, I stopped them, because they were swaying too much. Jimmy is more ‘good cop.’ He’s like, ‘They’re allowed to live...’” There are many techniques the comedians use to hide their laughter – looking in cupboards, needing to use the toilet suddenly, bending down for too long – but some slip-ups are pretty obvious. “We had a couple where we thought, ‘You could hear that down the street.’ I thought perhaps we needed an exorcist for one laugh – it was like a guttural utterance,” says Carr. But not laughing is only half the game – you also have to trip up your competitors. Carr says the best tactic for the “joker”, where the comedians perform a pre-prepared act, is to play against type. “Be the opposite of what people are expecting from you. For me, if I did some real, proper slapstick, people would go, ‘W…

Last One Laughing UK defending champion Bob Mortimer talks season 2 return: "It's an entirely different dynamic"

description: Amid a new crop of comedians all determined to tickle their rivals while keeping a straight face – can returning champion Bob Mortimer still have the last laugh?
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. All comedians have a war story of their worst ever gig, where their jokes fell flat, absolutely no one laughed and the biggest cheer came when they left the stage. All except Bob Mortimer. “Do you know what? I haven’t had that,” the 66-year-old muses as he gently arranges several sachets of sugar for his cup of tea (he recently revealed that he’s cut down from his high of 16; 17 was “too sweet”). “I’m almost slightly jealous of comics talking about their terrible gigs and so on. Me and Vic [Reeves] had a very unusual journey in that the first shows we did were to friends, and friends of friends through word of mouth who were very happy to be there. And then we went on the telly. And TV audiences are easy.” Or perhaps, Bob Mortimer is just that funny. The Middlesbrough native was already a legend in the comedy community for his double act with Vic Reeves (aka Jim Moir), before bagging a new generation of fans for his scene-stealing stints on the panel show Would I Lie to You? and his thoughtful, mischievous contributions to Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing. And then last year there was LOL: Last One Laughing UK, which cemented Mortimer’s reputation as the funniest man on TV. In the series, returning next week with Mortimer back to defend his title, a gaggle of comedians are locked in a room and told not to laugh at each other’s jokes. Mortimer, finally, has learnt what it’s like to play to a silent audience. “It’s frightening,” he says now. “One, knowing that they’re not going to laugh, and two, because it’s your peers. It’s not any audience, it’s Romesh and David [Ranganathan and Mitchell respectively, who join this year’s line-up].” Still, the fear didn’t hold him back last year. After a fierce final duel with runner-up Richard Ayoade, Mortimer won. “I wondered about having an advantage, having done it before, but the moment I walked in, I thought, ‘No, it’s an entirely different dynamic,’” he says. “I think…

encoded: Just over a month ago, the new hosts for The Grand Tour were confirmed, with Francis Bourgeois, James Engelsman and Thomas Holland taking over where Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond left off. Now, Clarkson has revealed his thoughts on the new cast - and he has firmly given them his seal of approval. While Clarkson was appearing on the podcast My Week in Cars, co-host Matt Prior said of The Grand Tour: "We’ve been doing this for three years, and so we find ourselves talking about car programs and the fact that it’s not here anymore..." He was then cut off by Clarkson, who clarified: "It’s coming back." Prior said, "Well, yes," before Clarkson cut in again to say: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no - don’t be hasty. Do not be hasty." Clarkson explained that the show's producer Andy Wilman is still involved, and said that "I’ve seen the guys being chosen in the early days, and I’ve seen some of the stuff they’ve been doing. And it’s very, very good. "It’s different because they’re three completely different people to us. But they’re bl**dy funny. You shall see. You shall see. But no, I'm pretty confident it will work. I mean, touch wood, from everybody's point of view. We all want it to work and I'd love the idea that the Grand Tour carries on." The new trio will be hosting a six-part season, which will see them tackling some of motoring’s most pressing questions and going on global travels, including crossing the Angolan desert in tracks cars and exploring Malaysia’s vibrant car culture. They will then head to California to test the latest performance cars. Clarkson's views on the new trio perhaps shouldn't be a surprise - after all, he appeared in a video when the news was first announced, literally approving of the new presenter's CVs. The Grand Tour is available to stream on Prime Video – you can sign up now for a free 30-day Prime Video trial.

description: Jeremiah star Gavin Casalegno has revealed that he doesn't even know when the movie will start filming yet.
encoded: While it was releasing weekly last year on Prime Video, fans thought that the third season of The Summer I Turned Pretty would be the last they would see of Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah. However, after the finale aired it turned out that wasn't the case, as a sequel movie was announced soon after, with the cast all set to return. Since then, there has been little news regarding progress on the film - and it seems that may be set to continue, according to Jeremiah star Gavin Casalegno. Speaking with PEOPLE, in an interview which took place on 26 February but has just been published, Casalegno said of the movie's progress: "I’m going to be so honest, I don’t even have a script. So I don’t even know when we’re filming." He continued: "It’s going to be like game time. Like Jenny Han calling me up and [being] like, 'Hey, by the way, you’re going to be on a plane in a week.' So, we’ll see what happens." Casalegno also said that he has "zero clue" about what will happen in the film, although he said he was "sure" at least "one of the fan predictions is correct." While this news is disappointing, it perhaps shouldn't be too much of a surprise. In September, creator Jenny Han told Variety that she didn't know when it would be out, adding that "I don’t think it’s safe to say next year because we haven’t filmed it yet". She added: "I honestly, really want that extra time, because it’s just getting the actors a little bit closer to adulthood."

encoded: The eighth and final season of Outlander is almost upon us – and it's set to be an emotional farewell to our beloved characters. There were plenty of burning questions we had gearing up for this new season, not least what the finale spells for Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitríona Balfe) in regards to young Fanny (Florrie May Wilkinson) and the possible survival of their own daughter, Faith. The series teases that "the Frasers are confronted with the question of what they are willing to sacrifice for the place they call home and, more importantly, what they would sacrifice to stay together". But who returns for season 8 and are there any old faces that will be returning for Outlander's final hurrah? Read on for everything you need to know about the cast.

description: Outlander will conclude with its eighth and final season.
encoded: The final season of Outlander is almost here and while the end of Diana Gabaldon's book series hasn't actually been released, the series is carving out its own ending for its beloved characters. It's no easy feat, with executive producer Maril Davis telling Radio Times and other press on a set visit for the series: "We’re just trying to be respectful because obviously, it’s weird to be doing the last season of the TV show where she still has a book left. "So, it’s kind of hard because we don’t know where she’s taking the characters. So, we have to figure out a way to conclude it in a way that’s satisfying to everyone but also, doesn’t step on her toes." Nobody knows quite how the show will wrap up, but if the trailer is anything to go by, it's set to be another sweeping, emotional instalment. Read on for everything you need to know about Outlander season 8. Outlander season 8 release date The eighth season of Outlander will officially start airing on MGM+ in the UK on Saturday 7 March 2026, one day after it debuts in the US on STARZ on Friday 6 March. That means 'Droughtlander' – as it is affectionately known – is nearly over and fans of the show will soon get their fill. The eighth and final season will be dropping episodes weekly, with a scheduled hiatus week before the penultimate episode. Who will star in Outlander season 8? The core cast of characters are all reprising their roles for the final season, thankfully. Seeing as season 7 ended with Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitríona Balfe) taking in young Fanny (Florrie May Wilkinson) after the death of her sister Jane (Silvia Presente), we're also set to see Fanny is a recurring character in the show's eighth season. The following cast members are confirmed to return for Outlander season 8.

encoded: All eight episodes of new Sherlock Holmes prequel series Young Sherlock are available to watch in full now on Prime Video, with viewers getting a chance to see how Hero Fiennes Tiffin's version of the character measures up to previous on screen iterations. Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective has previously been played by the likes of Basil Rathbone, Robert Downey Jr, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jonny Lee Miller, Ian McKellen, Henry Cavill and David Thewlis, amongst many, many others. Fiennes Tiffin's version of the character is, of course, younger than most who have come before, but he is also at times more emotionally vulnerable and open than previous incarnations – something the actor noted was intentional from the off. Speaking exclusively with Radio Times, sat alongside his uncle and co-star Joseph, Fiennes Tiffin said, when asked about this element of the character: "I mean, loads of it was on the page already, and I don't think there's much point in doing an origin story if you don't document some sort of journey. "But also, I think you won't be doing it correctly if you don't make the character similar enough for audiences to believe that they'll eventually get to become the character that we all know and love. "So I think you're bang on with identifying that the thing that was most important for us at the start of our journey is marking the character in a place where we believe he will become Sherlock, but giving him enough room to grow and warranting the need for an origin story." View Green Video on the source website He continued: "I think there are more specific things like in Conan Doyle's works we know that he's very capable of defending himself, for example, and when we first meet him in our show, he's definitely not. "But I think something that I was very conscious of implementing myself was, I guess, giving him a youthful enthusiasm and positivity that the Sherlock that Conan Doyle has created, maybe at that point in his life, is a little bit more cynic…

Alongside Holmes in this new version of the story are his family members, played by Max Irons, Natascha McElhone and Joseph Fiennes, as well as his future arch-enemy James Moriarty - here seen as a friend and ally, played by Dónal Finn. The first season certainly ends in a way which sets up and teases more adventures, but will we get to see them on Prime Video? And, if so, when? Read on for everything you need to know about Young Sherlock season 2. Will there be a Young Sherlock season 2? We don't yet know whether Young Sherlock will return for a second season. No official news has been announced regarding the show's future, although that shouldn't be a concern to fans, as the first season has only just been released. We will likely hear more in the coming weeks and months. It certainly seems to be the case that the show is being set up for a second season. There are a few threads left hanging at the end of season 1, and Moriarty has not yet turned fully to the dark side. We would expect his transition from being Sherlock's friend to becoming his greatest adversary to be complete before the show had run its natural course. We will keep this page updated with any news regarding the show's future as and when we get it. When would a potential Young Sherlock season 2 be released? It's hard to say when a second season of Young Sherlock would be released. The first season went into production in summer 2024, and has arrived on screens just over one and a half years later. We would therefore expect that, were the show to be renewed, it would take a similar length of time for a second season to reach Prime Video, given the globe-trotting nature o…

description: "This has to be a separate beast."
encoded: When Young Sherlock was first announced, many fans thought they were finally getting an extension to the universe established by Guy Ritchie back in 2009's Sherlock Holmes – only, in reverse. As fans continue to wait for the long-rumoured and delayed third film in that franchise, which stars Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, Ritchie's return to the world of Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective seemed like the perfect time to expand that series in some form. However, it later became clear that while Ritchie is an executive producer and director on the new series, charting the early years of the detective, the series is not a return to that continuity. Now, while speaking exclusively with Radio Times alongside Moriarty star Dónal Finn, the show's creator Matthew Parkhill, has explained why the series is not a direct prequel to those films – and revealed an early conversation regarding that did happen. View Green Video on the source website Parkhill said, when asked whether the series was ever imagined as a more direct prequel: "No. That was a very early conversation with Guy that I had, and we were adamant that he's not a young Robert Downey Jr – that’s it's a different Sherlock, a different world, different universe. Just because that is so well established. "They're beautiful films, but we didn't want to do a sort of prequel to those films. We wanted to do an origin story of the Conan Doyle Sherlock. So yeah, that was something we discussed and we were like, 'No, this has to be a separate beast.'" Young Sherlock stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin as the title character, while Finn, Natascha McElhone, Zine Tseng, Max Irons, Joseph Fiennes and Colin Firth all also play key roles. A third film starring Downey was at one point going to be directed by Dexter Fletcher, taking over for Ritchie. In 2023, Fletcher confirmed that the film was "not currently" in development, and that the Covid pandemic "threw everyone to the winds". "These things are so delicate that now trying to pull a…

Sherlock and Moriarty later visit the Holmes family residence in the countryside, Appleton Manor, before their adventures take them to Paris and then Constantinople. Dónal Finn, who plays Moriarty, say that one of his favourite days on set was "the scene where myself and Hero [Fiennes Tiffin] were shooting in Oxford University, at this amazing location". He continued: "It was August, the sun was beating down on us, the weather was gorgeous, it was one of our first days on set, and Hero and I were dressed up as policemen talking to Detective Fitget. "There is this amazing dialogue from Guy [Rit…

description: The new Prime Video series focuses on Sherlock's investigations at age 19.
encoded: Following on from his Sherlock Holmes films released in 2009 and 2011, director Guy Ritchie has returned to Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic character with Young Sherlock, a new Prime Video series starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin as the title character. The series sees a 19-year-old Sherlock team up with a new friend, one who will go on to be his arch-nemesis - James Moriarty. At this point, they are detectives together, looking into a case which unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy and leads to an explosive showdown that alters the course of Sherlock's life forever. All eight episodes of the series are available to stream now, but is the show based on a book or series of books? Read on for everything you need to know about the Young Sherlock book series. Is Young Sherlock based on a book? Yes and no. Young Sherlock is loosely based on the spin-off books by Andrew Lane, the Young Sherlock Holmes series, but the use of the word 'loosely' is key. Predominantly, the series tells a brand-new story, and focuses on Sherlock's investigations at a later age than the books. While the books start with Sherlock being aged 14, in the series he is 19 at the start of the run. The novels are all written by Andrew Lane, who has also written a number of books and audio dramas related to Doctor Who and Torchwood. There have been a number of links between Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes over the years, most prominently the fact that Sherlock, the BBC series which transposed Holmes's adventures to the modern day, was created by two Who writers, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. Episodes of that series were also written by Steve Thompson, another screenwriter who has worked on Doctor Who and who has also returned to writing for Holmes in the new series. Thompson is not only a writer on Young Sherlock, but also an executive producer. How many books are there in the Young Sherlock Holmes series? There are eight novels in the Young Sherlock Holmes series in total. They were released between 2010 and 20…

Patricia Cornwell talks Scarpetta finally making it to the screen and her surprise cameo: "I was so overwhelmed"

description: It took 37 years for Patricia Cornwell’s bestselling crime novels to get the TV treatment. Why? Because her protagonist is female, she says
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. Had I known it would have taken 37 years – and the sheer willpower of Jamie Lee Curtis – to bring Kay Scarpetta to the screen, I’d have been very disheartened. I sold my first Scarpetta book, Postmortem, while I was working as a computer analyst at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Virginia and it was first optioned as a movie in 1989, right before it was published. Ever since then, it has been in and out of options. I asked Jodie Foster if she’d play Scarpetta not long after The Silence of the Lambs came out in 1991. She looked at me and said, “Don’t you see why that would be a really bad idea?” I didn’t; I thought it was the best idea ever. But it didn’t go anywhere – she wasn’t interested in that kind of role back then. Around 1997, I spent a few days with Helen Mirren in New York. I will never get over the privilege of hanging out with such an amazing, unassuming and lovely woman. The studio execs were worried about Prime Suspect being so high profile… anyway, nothing ever came of it. Demi Moore was attached for a while. I talked to Susan Sarandon. Angelina Jolie was attached to Scarpetta for the better part of eight years, but it has always fallen apart at the writing stage; no one seemed to understand her job as a medical examiner and so the script never worked. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/02/ScarpettaS1Static16x9Ensemble3840x2160PREPVFINALen-USKAPS3000-8262d68.jpg" width="1627" height="1085" alt="Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Cannavale, Simon Baker and Ariana DeBose in Scarpetta.

Young Sherlock review: Guy Ritchie's return to Holmes is messy, throwaway fun

description: Is it top tier Holmes? Absolutely not. Is it well crafted drama? Not entirely. Would I watch more of it? You bet.
encoded: The opening scenes of the creatively titled new Sherlock Holmes prequel, Young Sherlock, find our hero engaged in a prison brawl, before being made to work as a porter at Oxford University by his brother Mycroft. The sight of Holmes bruised and dressed in prison garb is actually only fleeting here, but has been used extensively in marketing, clearly suggesting this is how Prime Video wants to sell the series. It's not far off from the vision of Holmes we saw in the previous films from Guy Ritchie, who is a director and executive producer here, but it's been stressed that the two projects are not linked. So, Holmes as a bruiser, is that what we're going for here? Well, not exactly. In truth, having now seen all eight episodes of Young Sherlock, I'm still not quite sure what version of the detective this is, so muddled is the journey it takes both us on. Is that a problem? Yes, undoubtedly. The series is messy, disjointed and will be an absolute turn-off for die-hard Arthur Conan Doyle fans. However, for everyone else there is another point that has to be made - Guy Ritchie knows how to make damn addictive entertainment. As already explained, Young Sherlock quickly establishes the titular hero, a reprobate youth who has taken to pickpocketing just for the thrill of it, working at Oxford University. There, he meets James Moriarty, a student attending the university on a top scholarship, and the two become fast friends due to their matched intellect. Of course, we know how that story goes - the duo will one day be arch-enemies, but don't expect a speed-run up to that point. Sherlock's first unofficial case sees him investigating a stolen scroll, nicked in transit to the university by a Chinese princess. However, that's just the beginning of things, as the case leads both he and James into a world of murder and conspiracy, eventually bringing him all the way home to reconnect with his mother, Cordelia, who has been committed to an asylum for years, and his father, Silas.…

description: "I always loved working with Eric."
encoded: Patrick Dempsey has paid tribute to his Grey’s Anatomy co-star Eric Dane, remembering him as a “handsome, intelligent man”. Dane, who starred in the long-running medical drama as Dr Mark Sloan, passed away last Friday (20 February), 10 months after he was diagnosed with the condition ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Dempsey appeared alongside Dane in Shonda Rhimes’s hit series as Dr Derek Shepherd, and the duo were affectionately dubbed McDreamy (Dempsey) and McSteamy (Dane) by viewers for their charming good looks. “I always loved working with Eric,” Dempsey told Radio Times. “He had a great sense of humour. He was always very professional, always very well-prepared, handsome, intelligent, he was funny and warm.” “I think he was a beloved character [on Grey’s Anatomy]. He was a wonderful man. He will be greatly missed and I feel deeply for his family, his children.” View Green Video on the source website Dempsey went on to share his condolences to Dane’s family, including his two teenage daughters, Billie and Georgia, as he reflected on the pain of losing a parent at a young age. “I lost my father when I was very young, and it's a devastating loss that takes years to overcome,” Dempsey continued. “And not only was [Eric] such a young man, but this disease affects so many people, and he worked very hard at bringing awareness to it. So maybe in his passing, more people will get a better understanding and work harder to cure this disease.” Dempsey is one of several long-running cast members who was with Grey’s Anatomy since its inception in 2005, before he left the show back in 2015 in season 11. “I think that the first three seasons are my favourite because it's part of the discovery process of the show,” he explained. “Then my second favourite memory and the thing that I'm the proudest of is when young people have come away watching the show and now are in the medical profession. “I meet so many people who come up to me who say they were inspired by the show…
