Slow Horses lost its showrunner after five seasons. Season 6 opened at 100% — and his replacement says she didn't take his job
The sixth season of Slow Horses arrived on Wednesday without the man who built the show, and the scoreboard did not flinch: 100% on twenty reviews. The woman who took the job says she never stepped into his shoes, and after five seasons she may be right about why that worked.

SNL closed its season 52 cast ten days before the premiere — and one of the two new hires had already tried out in an earlier year
Two names went out on Wednesday and that was the whole announcement: Saturday Night Live has filled the last seats in its cast, ten days before season 52 starts. Neither name is famous. One of them had stood in front of the same casting scouts once before and gone home.

Who killed Anais's father in A Remarkable Place to Die? Two men were already in prison for it when episode one began
Let's get one thing straight about Queenstown: the mountains are gorgeous, the lake is gorgeous, and absolutely everyone is lying about something. That's the deal A Remarkable Place to Die offers you in its very first episode, when Detective Anais Mallory rolls back into her hometown wearing the specific facial expression of a woman who does not believe a single word of the official record.

Where does A Remarkable Place to Die take place? The real New Zealand town it's both set and filmed in

The first person to win The Voice has died at 43. The show that made him spent four years off air
Ben Saunders is being written up in America this week as the first person ever to win The Voice, which is true and still slightly misleading. He won the Dutch original in January 2011, months before NBC put its version on the air, and he was found dead in a lake near Arnhem on Tuesday at 43.

Resident Evil is heading for $40-50M, and the film to compare it to isn't a Resident Evil movie
Resident Evil opens Friday, and Wednesday’s tracking says Sony is about to erase a record that has stood in this franchise since 2010. The number that predicts it, though, isn’t anywhere in the franchise — it belongs to the film Zach Cregger made before this one.
