The Sisters Grimm may live in a world filled with magic, dragons and familiar fairy-tale faces, but Season 2 isn’t afraid to get messy with the very real emotions underneath all of it. The TV Cave recently sat down with The Sisters Grimm executive producers Amy Higgins and Michael Buckley to talk about the Apple TV series’ second season, and the conversation quickly moved beyond magical adventures. Season 2 digs further into grief, anger, bullying, trauma and what happens whe

There was never going to be an easy way to return to Hillman. A Different World carries too much history for that. The original series didn't simply introduce audiences to a fictional HBCU; for generations of viewers, Hillman became a place they knew, a campus they wished they could visit and, for some, one of the first television shows that made attending an HBCU feel tangible. That legacy was one of the first things on my mind when I sat down with cinematographer Shawn Pete

The Sisters Grimm may still be a colorful animated adventure aimed at younger viewers, but Season 2 has a little more on its mind. The new season digs deeper into grief, anger, identity, and how younger people process emotions they may not fully understand yet. That was one of the things I enjoyed most about Season 2. It feels slightly more mature than the first season without losing the humor, fairy-tale chaos, or kid-friendly energy that makes the show work. During a recent

Playing a real person is already a challenge. Playing Saddam Hussein comes with an entirely different kind of weight, especially when the actor stepping into the role has his own history connected to the man he is portraying. In TNT’s High Value Target: The Hunt for Saddam, Waleed Zuaiter stars as Saddam Hussein opposite Joel Kinnaman’s John Nixon, the CIA analyst who interrogated the former Iraqi leader following his capture. As the limited series heads toward its finale, Zu

NBC celebrated a major milestone this week with NBC100, bringing together stars from across the network’s past, present and future for a night centered on 100 years of television. The TV Cave was on the red carpet for the event, talking with several members of NBC’s current lineup and getting a closer look at the shows helping carry the network into its next chapter. Among the stars we caught up with were Taylor Bloom from Line of Fire, Mekki Leeper from St. Denis Medical, Br

A Break in the Rain brings together two people who may enter each other’s lives unexpectedly but ultimately discover they have more to give one another than either realizes. The TV Cave recently spoke with stars Michael O’Keefe and Elizabeth A. Davis about Jake and Katrina’s relationship, the grief at the center of the story, the role music plays in Katrina’s journey and what it has been like watching audiences respond to the film. For O’Keefe, Jake begins the story as someon

Spoiler Warning: This article contains major spoilers from the Line of Fire series premiere. The Hollingsworth family may spend their days protecting presidents, investigating crimes and working across some of the country’s biggest government agencies, but after the Line of Fire series premiere, one thing is abundantly clear: this family has some serious issues to work through. NBC’s new drama introduced viewers to Mike Hollingsworth (Peter Krause) and Jane Hollingsworth (Hop

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has put La’An Noonien-Singh through just about everything, but according to Christina Chong, all of those experiences have been pushing her character toward one thing: finally accepting herself. The TV Cave recently spoke with Chong ahead of Season 4, Episode 9, “Once La’An a Time,” which premieres Sept. 17 on Paramount+. The episode returns to the world first introduced in Season 1’s “The Elysian Kingdom,” only this time the Enterprise crew find

After surviving weeks of mystery boxes, pressure tests and plenty of criticism from the judges, Jake Kelley walked away as the winner of MasterChef: Global Gauntlet. But if you ask Kelley, he certainly didn’t enter the competition expecting to be the last home cook standing. The TV Cave caught up with Kelley to talk about his journey through the competition, the work viewers didn’t necessarily see happening behind the scenes, that memorable finale dessert and what he hopes to

How do you turn a 1989 arcade game about warriors beating their way through a fantasy world into a 10-episode animated television series? For Golden Axe executive producers Mike McMahan and Joe Chandler, the answer started with taking the world seriously enough to expand it but never so seriously that they forgot to have fun. Speaking with The TV Cave ahead of the Paramount+ series premiere, McMahan and Chandler explained that their own history with Sega's Golden Axe made the

For longtime Golden Axe players, Ax Battler doesn't exactly come with decades of complicated character development. The barbarian warrior helped define Sega's original 1989 game, but Paramount+'s new animated series has the opportunity to turn that familiar collection of muscles, weapons and heroics into an actual character. For Liam McIntyre, finding Ax meant looking beyond the warrior exterior. Speaking with The TV Cave ahead of the series premiere, McIntyre revealed that s

One of the best things about The Paper is that you never quite know which character is going to walk into a scene, deliver one perfectly timed line and completely steal it. Travis and Barry have become particularly good at doing exactly that, and Season 2 gives Eric Rahill and Duane Shepard Sr. even more opportunities to show us what makes these two tick. I recently spoke with Rahill and Shepard about the new season, including those scene-stealing one-liners, how much improvi

If you somehow found yourself rooting for Ken Davies during the first season of The Paper, Tim Key would like to remind you of one important detail: the man is terrible. Apparently, Season 2 isn't about to change that. I recently caught up with Key ahead of The Paper Season 2, and when I pointed out that Ken manages to be openly conniving while remaining strangely charming, Key didn't exactly rush to defend his character. In fact, he described Ken as "absolutely despicable,"

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
