Showtime

Gone are the days of getting two Shameless seasons a year, but the near-miss of Season 8 will more than make up for it. Check out the first trailer for Season 8, as Frank finds religion in the wake of [SPOILER]‘s death, and Fiona takes on a malignant new gig.

David Bowie gave his blessing for Twin Peaks to revisit his Fire Walk With Me cameo, though even the original Phillip Jeffries footage had a slight tweak at Bowie’s request. As David Lynch now reveals, there’s good reason they committed the cardinal sin of recording over Bowie.

Jim Carrey may not actually appear in Showtime comedy I’m Dying Up Here, but the funnyman producer will nevertheless step out from behind the camera. Carrey will topline his own Showtime comedy, reuniting with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director Michel Gondry to do it.

Even as Showtime’s Twin Peaks left more maddeningly unresolved than the original series, fans have more or less accepted the unlikelihood of another season. That said, creator David Lynch won’t rule one out, even if “it took me four and a half years to write and record this [one].”

Twin Peaks’ lengthy production and advanced age of its stars made portions of The Return feel like a memorial, even for the ones who didn’t physically appear. That was especially true of music icon and Peaks alum David Bowie, who apparently allowed his likeness to be used for one final appearance.

We won’t expect Twin Peaks on Showtime’s schedule next year, but at least one other drama will get a surprise return. The Jim Carrey-produced standup series I’m Dying Up Here will live another day, now renewed for Season 2

It took sixteen weeks (and almost two years before that), but Twin Peaks has finally brought us its complete “Return,” departing with an even bigger cliffhanger than the one twenty-six years ago. Showtime hasn’t indicated any attempt to pursue more episodes, but star Kyle MacLachlan weighs in if Cooper’s story might continue.

It’s hard to believe we’re already thirteen weeks into Showtime’s expansive Twin Peaks revival; partly because you’d be hard-pressed to follow any one linear story. We might not have much more closure after the Labor Day finale either, as Showtime doesn’t believe it’s likely to order another round of cherry pie.

SNL may be notably bereft of Jay Pharoah, but the comedian is about to get White Famous with Jamie Foxx. Showtime has set an October premiere date with a first full trailer for the new meta-comedy of Foxx’s rise to fame.

We’ve all naturally wanted to see the girls of Girls cross over with Sherlock, and Showtime’s Patrick Melrose might be our best bet. Allison Williams has joined the Benedict Cumberbatch miniseries cast in a role that’s practically Marnie rearranged.
