Even if the fans beat them to it, Sunday’s Star Trek: Discovery at last confirmed that a major character was not what they seemed. “The Wolf Inside” revealed its Klingon twist beyond any doubt, but – for those still confused – stars and producers explain the logistics of Ash and Voq’s connection.
Not even CBS can keep The Big Bang Theory afloat forever. Star Johnny Galecki now says that CBS’ highest-rated comedy will likely call it quits after twelve seasons, sending off Leonard, Sheldon, Raj, Penny, Howard, Bernadette and Amy as early as 2019.
Leave it to The Twilight Zone to steal Black Mirror’s thunder. A new iteration of the classic sci-fi anthology is officially confirmed for CBS’ streaming arm, as helmed by Get Out director Jordan Peele and X-Men vet Simon Kinberg.
Charlie Rose joined the growing list of men whose alleged histories of sexual harassment and assault have been exposed in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal. The 75-year-old host of Charlie Rose and former 60 Minutes correspondent was the subject of a recent exposé in The Washington Post, in which eight women bravely came forward to accuse Rose of sexual harassment and assault. According to a statement from CBS News president David Rhodes, Rose has been officially fired from the network.
It looks like Star Trek isn’t the only sci-fi icon finding new life on CBS All Access. Network heads confirm that a Twilight Zone reboot is in development for the streaming branch, as produced by Get Out director and Key & Peele favorite Jordan Peele.
We knew Bobby Moynihan’s SNL exit was imminent when CBS officially picked up sitcom pilot Me, Myself & I, but the fan-favorite star may already need a new gig.

Say goodbye to earthquake sloths, mutant vultures and James Wolk – CBS’ Zoo is officially closing the gates. The fan-favorite sci-fi drama based on James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge’s novel has been canceled after three bonkers seasons, in spite of its profitable Netflix arrangement.
It was bound to happen sooner or later – Star Trek: Discovery may have stretched canon to a breaking point. Fans are concerned Sunday’s “Lethe” may have utilized a holodeck decades before Starfleet developed the technology, and we go deep into Trek history to investigate.
