This Is Us' Chris Geere Gauges Kate and Phillip's Incoming, Inevitable Romance
We haven’t known This Is Us‘ Phillip very long… but way he gazed at Kate in Tuesday’s season premiere told us a lot about the heretofore reserved Brit. That said, new cast addition Chris Geere previews that even though a flash-forward in Season 5 clued us in to the fact that Kate and Phillip will eventually marry, there’ll be no whirlwind romance between the two. Instead, Geere says, there’ll be a “slow build” from co-workers to life partners.
And that makes sense, given how Kate is very marr...

And if you didn’t get a sense from the official trailer, in which Mandy Moore’s aging Rebecca muses about the last thing she’ll remember before her progressing mental decline becomes complete, allow us to be blunt: The series’ final seas...

Everything to Know About Yellowstone Season 4: Cast, Premiere Date, and More
We're all waiting for the fourth season of Yellowstone and wondering when we can return to the Dutton family melodrama and all those hot ranch hands. Yellowstone Season 3 left many fates up in the air after John (Kevin Costner) was shot, Beth's (Kelly Reilly) office was blown up by a mail bomb, and Kayce (Luke Grimes) was the target of a separate gunman attack. We are pretty sure that Roarke Morris (Josh Holloway) is responsible for planning the attack on the Dutton family, but did Jamie (Wes...

Though we've seen David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudr...
CBS Comedy Mom Wraps Series with Celebrations and Tears
These days when a TV show runs eight seasons that's enough cause for celebration, but in the case of the CBS comedy Mom, there are multiple reasons to celebrate the show. Not only did they produce 170 episodes and receive 10 Emmy nominations over the course of the run, but they also did something very rare in television by focusing on a group of women of all ages, led by Allison Janney. It seems so simple yet it's almost unheard of, especially in network TV.
The series finale continued that t...
