The next season of cult sci-fi classic Star Trek (1966-current) is going to be darker, violent and a whole lot more twisted if the show’s new executive producer is anything to go by. Bryan Fuller, the man behind Hannibal (2013-2015) and Pushing Daisies (2007-2009), plans to use his experience as a former Star Trek writer on Deep Space Nine (19931999) and Voyager (19952001) to take the franchise’s 2017 reboot where no other Star Trek series has gone before…
It’s official! Jennifer Lopez’s new cop show Shades Of Blue (2016current) is a smash-hit. Not only is it enjoying great ratings, Shades has already been renewed for a second season.

On the reality TV front, History channel’s Counting Cars (2012-current), BET’s It’s A Mann’s World (2015-current) and So You Think You Can Dance (2005-current) are getting more seasons too. As The Good Wife (2009-2016) winds down its seventh and final season, the legal drama’s creators have revealed that the ending will be both happy and sad, comparing it to the bittersweet ways that Six Feet Under (2001-2005) and Breaking Bad (2008-2013) said goodbye. They’ve also ruled out a time-jump into the future as well as bringing back favourites like Archie Panjabi’s Kalinda or Josh Charles as Will. The series ends in May 2016.
