@TVGMMattRoush Are there going to be any spinoff series from Supernatural? It looked like there were a couple of episodes that would lead to that. —Gloria MATT ROUSH: The CW tried but never succeeded in developing at least two Supernatural spinoffs with episodes intended as “backdoor pilots,” the most recent being “Wayward Sisters” in January 2018. At this summer’s Television Critics Association press tour, The CW President Mark Pedowitz celebrated the show’s 15th and final season and acknowledged that these attempts “did not connect.” He added, “I tend to believe, at this point, the show’s essence and blood is Jared [Padalecki] and Jensen [Ackles].” As for the actors who play the Winchester brothers, Padalecki said, “I do hope we see more of the Supernatural universe,” while Ackles conceded, “When you…

FOR 66 YEARS, TV GUIDE MAGAZINE has been at the forefront of pop culture, appearing onscreen everywhere from its own Jeopardy! category to a Seinfeld coffee table. Recognize this July 26, 1969, cover of Petticoat Junction? It’s featured in the hit movie Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, which stars Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio (above); DiCaprio’s character, actor Rick Dalton, has a copy in his living room (he even appears on a faux cover for the fictional show, Bounty Law). You may have also spotted our magazine in the Season 3 premiere of Netflix’s Stranger Things. Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown, below) nonchalantly grabs the June 15, 1985, issue when her dad enters her bedroom while she’s (gasp!) making out with boyfriend Mike (Finn Wolfhard). We’re glad to know she didn’t…

@TVGMMattRoush Succession Sundays, 9/8c, HBO SOMEWHERE IN TV heaven—or possibly hell—Dallas scoundrel J.R. Ewing is watching the savage infighting among the Roy family and smirking, “Well, at least we never took it that far!” After a slow-burning first season that built to a harrowing crescendo, the Emmy-nominated Succession returns on fire for a second round of vicious sibling rivalries and high-stakes power plays that leave no pawn unscathed. As the ailing King Lear in this high drama of low behavior, irascible media potentate Logan Roy (the magnificent Brian Cox) roars in paranoid fury, “I am surrounded by snakes and f---ing morons!” He’s not wrong, but pity would be wasted on a ruthless, manipulative tyrant who delights in turning his business associates and adult children into squabbling minions. Weasels and toadies…

Cobie Smulders has played a lot of badasses, from her no-nonsense agent Maria Hill in the Marvel universe to hard-working reporter Robin Scherbatsky on How I Met Your Mother. So it’s no surprise she’s kicking it up a notch on ABC’s Stumptown (September 25). In her network TV return, Smulders stars as Dex Parios, a gambling-addicted Marine vet with PTSD who becomes a PI. “She’s a complicated lady,” Smulders says. “[But Dex can] take a hit and come right back up swinging.” —Emily Aslanian ABC’s black-ish sets a high bar for exploring race with laughs. The prequel mixed-ish (September 24) reveals what 12-year-old Rainbow Johnson (Arica Himmel, channeling Tracee Ellis Ross’ Bow) experienced as part of a mixed-race family in the ’80s. Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tika Sumpter (left) play parents…

@damianholbrook LOVE IT! Cheers to To Tell the Truth for booking some straight-up icons. We cannot lie, the sight of legendary producer Norman Lear and One Day at a Time’s Rita Moreno (left) on the same stage had us thinking that ABC’s other game shows should go after more guests with such impressive TV roots. Cheers to Orange Is the New Black for serving its time wisely. After seven seasons, Netflix’s prison dramedy starring Taylor Schilling (right) locked it down in a series finale full of endings happy, heartbreaking and even hopeful, thanks to the show’s real-life fund to support women impacted by mass incarceration. Cheers to Shark Week for taking a fun-size bite out of the summer schedule. From the goofy Shark Trip: Eat. Prey. Chum. with Joel McHale…

SHOUT-OUT We’ve been reading TV GUIDE MAGAZINE since about 1985. We used to pick it up at the grocers during our weekly shopping. Then, in approximately 1988, we subscribed for mail delivery. You have stayed relevant and current. Whenever we receive a subscription renewal, hubby says, ‘You still want TV GUIDE MAGAZINE?’ [And I say,] ‘Yes!’ I love that you tweak little things as well as make other changes that are needed as the medium changes. Keep up the great work! —Marian MOVIE BUFF I love, love, love the new daily movie listings! Whether I’m in the mood for an old favorite or a first-time viewing of a recent release, I can now easily find something to watch almost every day. —Diane Email us: letters@tvgm.com COMING NEXT ISSUE FALL PREVIEW…

Twenty years ago next month, a show called Freaks and Geeks debuted. Nobody had seen anything like it on TV—an hourlong comedy-drama about 1980s high school outcasts that could often go to dark and painful places. Most of the cast—which included James Franco, Jason Segel, Busy Philipps, Seth Rogen and Linda Cardellini—became major stars. It drew rave reviews, but viewers weren’t ready, and NBC canceled the series over halfway through its 18-episode season. Still, its brief run changed the face of television and made shows from Veronica Mars to Stranger Things possible. Creator Paul Feig, now a director known for films such as Bridesmaids and the Ghostbusters reboot, muses on the show and its impact. My frustration back when I created Freaks and Geeks was that TV shows about high…

Poldark SEASON PREMIERE Sunday, Sept. 29, 9/8c, PBS (check local listings at pbs.org) HE’S NO ORDINARY man. Swarthy, reckless, principled (most of the time) 18th-century British Army captain Ross Poldark (Aidan Turner) is the derring-est of doers. In Poldark’s fifth and final season—coming to PBS’s Masterpiece this fall—producers are taking a risk worthy of the gutsy hero: departing from the beloved books by Winston Graham on which the saga is based. Ross will still get steamy with the love of his life, wife Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson). He’ll still gallop on horseback along the Cornish cliffs to right an injustice, say, or rescue a friend. And he’ll still labor to keep his family’s struggling tin mine in business. The difference in these eight episodes: The reluctantly elected first-term member of Parliament will…

Kelly Clarkson SOME PEOPLE WAIT a lifetime for a moment like this. Kelly Clarkson isn’t one of them. The three-time Grammy winner and inaugural champion of American Idol took some convincing when asked to headline her own talk show. In 2018, after she began as a coach on NBC’s The Voice, producers noticed the bubbly star was a natural on camera and approached her with the idea. “I was like, ‘No. What would I do with a …? Nobody’s going to watch that!’ ” she tells TV GUIDE MAGAZINE. Credit goes to her husband and manager, Brandon Blackstock, for changing the “Since U Been Gone” singer’s mind. “One night we were lying in bed, and he said, ‘I’d hate for you to pass up an opportunity just because you’re uncomfortable.’…

CARNIVAL ROW SERIES PREMIERE FRIDAY, AUG. 30 Expect striking sets, eye-popping special effects and fabulous faeries on Carnival Row, Prime Video’s new fantasy series set in a fictionalized Victorian era. There, flying mythological creatures struggle to coexist with humans, who have taken over their land and restricted their freedoms. In the midst of that discord, Det. Rycroft “Philo” Philostrate (The Lord of the Rings’ Orlando Bloom, above) rekindles a forbidden romance with one of those beings, Vignette Stonemoss (Suicide Squad’s Cara Delevingne). “You connect with Vignette’s character in the [faerie] world, and you connect with my character in the human world,” Bloom explains. “And then you’re introduced to both those worlds and how they collide.” At the same time, Philo investigates a murder, which is central to the mystery of…

ORDER IS FAR from the first word that springs to mind when thinking of Jerry Springer, the ringmaster of a self-titled 1991–2018 tabloid talk show. There will, however, be order in the court when the former Cincinnati mayor, who holds a law degree from Northwestern University, oversees small-claims cases on Judge Jerry. Here, exec producer Kerry Shannon tells us what to expect when the P.T. Barnum of daytime takes a seat on the bench. 1 The crazy is more controlled. Jerry takes place in a courtroom, a setting that, notes Shannon, lends itself much less to chair-throwing than Springer’s previous show. “[But] the litigants’ stories about what brought them to court are still outrageous!” 2 It’s not all baby-mama drama. According to Shannon, the cases come from “all over the…
