THE HUB

More than 30 years after Tommy Davidson walked onto Martin as the wildly confident Varnell Hill and turned a guest appearance into one of the sitcom's most memorable moments, he's stepping back into those shoes. Only this time, Varnell has an entire show of his own. Davidson sat down with The TV Cave for a conversation about The Varnell Hill Show, reuniting creatively with longtime friend Martin Lawrence, expanding Varnell beyond the character audiences remember and the surpr

Power Book III: Raising Kanan has never been shy about taking a beloved character off the board, but the death of Marvin Thomas hits differently. Season 5 has been steadily stripping the Thomas family down piece by piece, and the latest episode delivered one of the show’s most painful losses yet when Kanan killed his own uncle. Yes, Kanan really pulled the trigger on Marvin. As if that were not enough emotional damage for one episode, Jukebox also took matters into her own ha

The mystery is back, the stakes are higher, and quite frankly, Diarra Charles’s nervous system is screaming for a break. Luckily for us, she isn’t getting one. BET+’s hit series Diarra from Detroit is officially sliding back into our queues for Season 2, promising to deliver more twists, more heart, and a whole lot of chaotic adventure. The TV Cave caught up with the people holding the answers, stars Diarra Kilpatrick, Jon Chaffin, Bryan Terrell Clark, and DomiNque Perry to t

When most people hear the words boxing drama, they probably picture championship belts, training montages, and plenty of punches flying. Fightland certainly delivers on all of that, but after sitting down with the cast ahead of the series premiere, one thing became impossible to ignore: this show has far more on its mind than who wins the next fight. Yes, there are knockout moments inside the ring. But outside of it? That's where the real battles begin. Family loyalty gets te

One thing I will say right away is that you can feel the goodbyes in this episode from the very beginning. After eight seasons, The Chi has finally come to an end, and the series finale is packed with surprise returns, a wedding, emotional moments, unfinished storylines, and a lot of characters showing up one last time. The episode starts with Tiff and Keisha being placed side by side, which I thought was interesting. Keisha tells Emmett that she has uninvited Tiff from the w

Tim Robbins is back stirring the pot in Apple TV’s Silo, and if Season 3 is leaning into anything, it’s moral ambiguity with a side of existential crisis. Speaking with me, Robbins opened up about Bernard’s shifting sense of duty, his complicated relationship with power, and why leaders, no matter how noble they believe they are, rarely escape the gravitational pull of self-preservation. And yes, somehow, we also ended up talking about Bernard’s hidden talent for dancing. Fro

Some stories find their creators. Others practically demand to be told. For actress, writer, and first-time director Stacey Sargeant, Stand Clear the Closing Doors was born from an unsettling encounter on a New York City subway that stayed with her long after the train ride ended. Rather than letting the experience become another frustrating memory, Sargeant transformed it into a deeply personal short film that made its world premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival. During an i

Angela Fairley may be one of the newest faces on Beyond the Gates, but her arrival as Deanna McBride has already made a lasting impression.

During a recent interview with The TV Cave's Soap Wire Podcast, Fairley reflected on joining daytime television, the overwhelming fan response to Deanna's debut, and why the cha

Hollywood loves to give us the same old buddy-cop formulas, but Prime Video is finally flipping the script. Their upcoming television series, Ride or Die, lands on the streaming platform on Wednesday, July 15, 2026. The highly anticipated project features a dream pairing: Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham.

For longtime General Hospital fans, few couples from the early 2000s remain as beloved as Nikolas Cassadine and Gia Campbell. Their romance helped define an era of the ABC soap, and more than two decades later, fans are still talking about what could have been.

Robert and Camille Sims may be playing a dangerous game, but according to stars Common and Alexandria Riley, the foundation of their partnership is something surprisingly simple: trust. I had a chance to catch up with the pair and Common and Riley opened up abou

The Chi continues to prove that one of the biggest dangers in Chicago isn't violence, it's people who can't keep a secret. "When Truth Thaws" picks up immediately after the shocking events of last week's episode, with Tiffany and Victor dealing with the fallout of Nuck's death. Right from the start, it's clear that neither of them fully thought this plan through. Victor is determined to protect Tiffany no matter what, but every conversation they have feels like another step c

If you're looking for a thriller that keeps audiences guessing while serving up complicated family dynamics and plenty of uncomfortable truths, Strung may have exactly what you're searching for. The new film dives into relationships where trust is fragile, motives are questionable, and nobody seems completely innocent. We love a movie that keeps everyone looking suspicious. During a recent conversation with stars Lynn Whitfield and Coco Jones, the pair offered a glimpse into
