Long Bright River: Peacock Thriller Touts Amanda Seyfried ‘Like You've Never Seen Her Before' (First Look)
That's Officer Seyfried to you. Peacock has announced a March 13 premiere date for Long Bright River, its Amanda Seyfried-led adaptation of novelist Liz Moore's best-selling thriller. All eight episodes will drop at once.
Long Bright River tells the story of Philadelphia police officer Mickey Fitzpatrick (Seyfried), who patrols an area hit particularly hard by the opioid crisis. 'When a series of murders begins in the neighborhood,' Peacock's logline teases, 'Mickey realizes that her personal history might be related to the case.'

Showrunner and co-creator Nikki Toscano promises that viewers will experience Seyfried 'like you've never seen her before — flawed and raw, tarred by guilt and shame and legacy, but never more compelling.'
She's also excited about Long Bright River's efforts to 'upend stereotypes' about multiple marginalized groups, including sex workers, people born into poverty and addiction, and even officers of the law. 'What makes Long Bright River so unique as a series is that it aims to deconstruct the 'police as savior' narrative — a journey pulled through our protagonist,' Toscano explains.
Long Bright River also stars Nicholas Pinnock (For Life), Ashleigh Cummings (NOS4A2), Callum Vinson (Chucky), and John Doman (The Affair). Executive producers include Toscano, Moore, Seyfried, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Amanda Lewis, Amy Pascal, Russell Rothberg and Hagar Ben-Asher.

Fire Country Season 4: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on June 22, 2025, 20:17 IST Last updated June 22, 2025, 20:18 IST Okay, Fire Country fans, let's dive into the latest updates on Season 4! After that gut-punch of a Season 3 finale, fans are dying to know what's next for Bode, Sharon, and the whole Edgewater crew. Between cast shake-ups, spinoff hype, and those pesky release date rumors, there's a ton to unpack. So, grab a coffee (or something stronger), and let's dish on everything we know—or think we know—about Fire Country Season 4. Fire Country Season 4 Potential Release Date As of right now, June 2025, CBS is keeping us in suspense with no official release date for Season 4. The show got the green light back in February 2025, which is a big vote of confidence. Word on the street (and by street, we mean X posts and TVLine reports) is that filming kicks off in Vancouver this July. That lines up nicely for a September or October 2025 premiere, probably in that trusty Friday 9 p.m. ET slot on CBS. Cast Updates: Who's Returning and Who's Leaving? The Fire Country Season 3 finale dropped some major bombshells, and the cast for Season 4 will look noticeably different. Here's a breakdown of who's in. Max Thieriot as Bode Leone : The heart of the show, Bode, is confirmed to return. As a newly freed firefighter, his journey to redemption will continue to drive the story. Thieriot, who also serves as an executive producer and co-creator, has teased 'game-changing' developments for his character. Kevin Alejandro as Manny Perez : Manny, Gabriela's father and a key figure at Station 42, is expected back, bringing his blend of tough love and leadership. Jordan Calloway as Jake Crawford : Jake's role as interim battalion chief in the Season 3 finale sets him up for a bigger leadership arc in Season 4. Diane Farr as Sharon Leone : Despite being caught in the Season 3 finale's collapse, Sharon is expected to survive and return, especially with her ties to the upcoming spinoff Sheriff Country . Jules Latimer as Eve Edwards: Eve's resilience and growth make her a fan favorite, and she's confirmed to be back for more. What to Expect in Fire Country Season 4 The Season 3 finale left fans with a heart-stopping cliffhanger: a fire consumed Walter's care facility, trapping Vince, Sharon, and Walter as the building collapsed. Bode watched in horror, setting the stage for an emotionally charged Season 4. Here's what we can anticipate: Storylines to Watch Bode's Big Moment: If Vince doesn't make it (I'm still in denial), Bode's gonna be a mess. He's already got guilt from his rebel stunt causing the fire, so expect some heavy soul-searching. Maybe he'll finally step up as a leader to honor his dad. Jake's Time to Shine: With Jake as interim chief, I'm curious if he'll clash with the team or prove he's the real deal. Jordan Calloway's got the chops to carry this arc. New Disasters: Fire Country thrives on high-stakes action, and Season 4 will likely deliver more epic fires, floods, or other emergencies. Max Thieriot has hinted at 'crazy action stunt sequences' that will keep viewers glued to their screens. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Between 1973 and 1981, Hamilton also recurred on CBS' The Waltons, on which she played Verdie Grant Foster — a role she would later reprise in two made-for-TV movies: A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion (1993) and A Walton Easter (1997).

The Gilded Age Cast IRL: See How the Season 3 Stars Look Out of Costume
Like the time period from which it gets its name, The Gilded Age is all about excess. From the characters' lavish homes to their stunning gowns and jewelry, it's like every day is the Met Gala — and the servants aren't the only ones serving. Here at TVLine, we live for a good fashion moment as much as Mrs. Fish lives for drama at the opera, but it's easy to get lost in the 1880s fantasy. Sometimes we forget that there are present-day women buried under all those corsets, bustles and bonnets.

In preparation for The Gilded Age's Season 3 premiere (Sunday, 9/8c), we're taking a moment to remind you what the HBO drama's cast looks like when they're not dressed in period-accurate costumes. And you might be surprised by some of the things you see. For example, did you know that Louisa Jacobson is actually a brunette underneath her blonde Marian Brook wig? Or that Ben Ahlers rocks a no-nonsense mustache when he's not playing baby faced jack-of-all-trades John Trotter? Prepare to learn all that and more as you peruse side-by-side comparisons of this season's Gilded Age series regulars (along with a few noteworthy Season 3 guest stars) out of costume, primarily using red carpet photos from the show's June 12 premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
