Grey’s Anatomy Thursday, Oct. 27, 9/8c, ABC It’s a busy All Hallows’ Eve at Grey Sloan Memorial. “Some doctors really get into the spirit, while others wind up having to heal patients who chose to party in all the wrong ways,” exec producer Jamie Denbo says. The new surgical interns compete in a pumpkin-carving competition hosted by Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) and later must “do something involving dead bodies in the dead of night,” she adds. We have to believe it’s training and not zombies shuffling into the ER. “This is Grey’s Anatomy, not The Walking Dead!” quips Denbo. —Ileane Rudolph QUANTUM LEAP Monday, Oct. 31, 10/9c, NBC An astronaut, a boxer and a female bounty hunter are some of the bodies time traveler Dr. Ben Song (Raymond…

9-1-1 8/7c, Fox Tonight’s hour: explosive! Aisha Hinds’ Hen Wilson (above) takes center stage when the LAFD paramedic and the 118 respond to an eruption at the lab where her wife, Karen (Tracie Thoms), works. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist—which Karen actually is—to realize that a place containing unstable substances and hightech equipment is a ticking time bomb. “The building houses many departments under the same roof, which come with different dangers,” explains exec producer Kristen Reidel, adding ominously, “some that the 118 isn’t even aware of when they arrive.” Karen and Hen’s budding scientist and roboticist son, sixthgrader Denny (Declan Pratt), is also on site. “Part of his project is in-person observation of Karen’s day-to-day duties,” Reidel says. “No one expects an emergency of this magnitude to…

The Rookie: Feds 10/9c, ABC Training a wild card probationary agent like Simone Clark (Niecy Nash-Betts) was not an assignment by-the-book Carter Hope (James Lesure) asked for when he joined the L.A. bureau’s new fast-response Special Investigative Unit. “Carter is definitely someone who prides himself in playing by the rules; Simone seems more inclined to make up rules that justify the results she’s after,” Lesure muses. Still, we’ve already seen their opposing approaches (her charm, his facts) meld to nab an arms dealer on the FBI’s Most Wanted List—and that was just in Week 2! Tonight, the unit’s hunt for an international assassin called “The Reaper” sends the pair undercover in a women’s prison in search of answers: her as an inmate, him as a guard. It’ll be dangerous, yes,…

Dangerous Liaisons SERIES PREMIERE 8/7c, Starz This smart, steamy series may share a title with the Oscar-winning 1988 film starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich, but the equally lush production is a prequel. Gritty and glamorous prerevolutionary Paris is home to the younger, more naive Marquis de Merteuil, here known as Camille (Alice Englert), a sex worker, and her lover Valmont (Nicholas Denton, above, with Englert), a disinherited aristocrat turned mapmaker who wants his title back. He hides from her his side hustle of seducing rich women who provide him with the finer things in life. “We meet them at a real place of struggle, in lives that they want out from,” says executive producer Harriet Warner, who drew inspiration from the timeless 1782 novel. “It’s a journey from innocence…

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 2022 Ghosts Thursday, Oct. 27, 8:30/7:30c, CBS IS THERE ANY show with more right to a high-flying Halloween episode than Ghosts? The CBS comedy smash—a Groundhog Day of the Dead, in a sense—entered Season 2 with eager new B&B owners Samantha (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) looking for business while still sharing their haunted mansion with spirits who died on their historic Hudson Valley property…and remain stuck there. Like the best treats, storylines are both delectably sweet—like narcissistic Revolutionary War soldier Isaac’s (Brandon Scott Jones) budding romance with his Redcoat crush—and deliciously salty: the ongoing empowerment and sexual awakening of Sam’s stifled Gilded Age ancestor Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky). And there’s the other comic conceit: Only Sam has the “sixth sense” ability to communicate with dead people, after a…

100th EPISODE! The Resident 8/7c, Fox IF YOU THINK the power couple of Chastain Park Memorial Hospital can take a day off to tie the knot, think again. Urgent situations crop up for CEO Kit Voss and Dr. Randolph Bell (Jane Leeves and Bruce Greenwood, above) with no regard for the wedding planner’s timetable. “There’s a ‘Get me to the church on time’ aspect with everybody being pulled every which way,” says Leeves. Here’s more: The rehearsal opens the episode, but I’m guessing things don’t go as planned. Everybody’s distracted! The bridesmaids’ dresses didn’t quite make it, so people have to go off and find those. I’m desperately trying to get a meeting with our new governor, who’s planning to slash Chastain’s budget. And there’s a huge medical crisis, which pulls…

PICK OF THE WEEK! Big Sky: Deadly Trails Wednesday, Nov. 2, 10/9c, ABC IN HER ACCOMPLISHED 32-year acting career, country music icon Reba McEntire (above) had never played a villain until Big Sky. “That’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while,” she says. “I’m really loving it.” And it shows. On the Montana-set crime drama’s third season, she beams as perfectionist Sunny Barnes, who runs Sunny Day Excursions with her slightly cowed husband, Buck (McEntire’s reallife beau, Rex Linn). Her tightly controlled life is rocked when a hiker and then a Sunny Day camper named Paige (Madalyn Horcher) go missing. (Paige’s situation was revealed on October 19.) Fearing the involvement of her disturbed secret son Walter (Seth Gabel), who is hidden in a nearby cabin, the mama bear shows…

Merry Swissmas MOVIE PREMIERE 8/7c, Lifetime Full House alum Jodie Sweetin (above) has another too-close-for-comfort situation in this lovely original that kicks off the cable net’s “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” holiday movie season. She stars as a Chicagobased architect named Alex who heads to snowy Switzerland, where her mom is planning to open an inn by New Year’s. And while there is the expected romance—Alex falls for the inn’s widower-dad manager (Tim Rozon)—there’s also a surprisingly emotional arc involving Alex’s former bestie Beth (Mikaela Lily Davies), who is now dating her ex. “[One of the things] I really appreciated about the story was that it wasn’t perfect and easy…it was a little messy,” Sweetin says. “It was about redeeming that friendship.” Equally unexpected are the authentic nods to Swiss traditions…

The popular procedural, which originally ran from 2005 to 2020, was never shy about showing the darker side of the many cases the Behavioral Analysis Unit team worked on—and those storylines will be even more unsettling when Criminal Minds: Evolution premieres its first two episodes on Thanksgiving, November 24, on Paramount+. “I’ve always been a defender of the fact that our show gave that realistic aspect to what these real men and women do,” says Joe Mantegna (left, with Adam Rodriguez and A.J. Cook). “If you think you were disturbed before, we may be taking it to another level.” Showrunner Erica Messer also promises the revival will let fans in on what the characters have been up to, teasing, “These past few years have made [them] count on one another…

Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities TUESDAY, OCT. 25 ORIGINAL SERIES Horrors of all sizes—from a brain infection to a cosmos calamity—fill the drawers of this eerie, stylish anthology curated by Del Toro. Given the filmmaker’s eerie cred—he gave us popular oddities such as The Shape of Water, Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth—you can expect plenty of genre chills. Rolling out over four days, from October 25 to 28, each installment of the eight-episode creepshow is introduced by Del Toro, à la Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling. Another plus: Cabinet is packed with all-star performers. Tales adapted for our screaming, er, streaming pleasure include two H.P. Lovecraft short stories—“Dreams in the Witch House,” starring Harry Potter veteran Rupert Grint (above, with Daphne Hoskins) as a grieving spiritualist trying to reconnect with…

PICK OF THE WEEK! The White Lotus SEASON PREMIERE Sunday, Oct. 30, 9/8c, HBO THE EMMY-WINNING anthology may have switched its Hawaiian resort to a European hot spot, but the White Lotus luxury hotel chain still seems to attract tourists who have lost their way. Season 2 digs into sexual politics and male-female power dynamics. Here are the other amenities. THE SETTING Buongiorno from Italy! “The location’s a little juicier,” says creator Mike White, who made the most of the “eye candy” surrounding the Four Seasons’ San Domenico Palace in Sicily. “There’s a lot of yachting, palazzos.… They go to the Godfather house [Castello Degli Schiavi].” THE BODY As with Season 1’s central murder mystery, “there will be blood on the floor,” White reveals. “We tease that out at the beginning.”…
