Curious though we were about The Purge world its other 364 days, we had to wonder about a TV series without its title threat. Thankfully, franchise boss James DeMonaco has purged his old comments, claiming SYFY and USA’s new Purge will indeed purge to its heart’s content.

We’ve seen his Identity all the way through his Legacy, and The Bourne TV Series might be next. USA has granted a pilot order to a new Jason Bourne TV series following the prequel origins of the mysterious Treadstone.

Two new citizens are officially joining The Purge. Syfy and USA’s TV adaptation of the ultra-violent franchise has found its leads in a War veteran and a Six star, in the process revealing some curious new details of the story.

TV viewers are no stranger to bleeped swear words in their favorite shows, but there’s always a double-take when F-bombs slip past the censors. It may now be intentional, as USA and Syfy are relaxing language standards on mature series – the sign of a coming trend.

Suits fans weren’t exactly surprised when Royal-to-be Meghan Markle confirmed her departure from the series after eight seasons, but that was only half the story. Not only is USA bringing the stealthily popular legal drama back for an eighth season without Markle or co-lead Patrick J. Adams, but Katherine Heigl now has a leading role.

There’s good news and bad for fans of USA’s Mr. Robot, as – while Season 3 has come to an end – the series has formally been renewed for Season 4. Creator Sam Esmail has previously spoken to the series lasting four or five seasons, and now suggests that the remaining two installments may be a little … well, compressed.

Anyone following Suits in the last few years has kept an eye on Meghan Markle’s ring finger, knowing that a royal engagement tends to supersede TV roles. Well, consider it doubly-official – Markle is confirmed to exit Suits after news of her engagement to Prince Harry.

Just when you thought the end of Game of Thrones Season 7 might cut you a break from must-see shows, in swoops fall TV with dozens upon dozens of new and returning TV series; enough to drive your DVR to self-immolation. Join us for a sneak peek!

Hello, friend. Don’t let my dulcet tone of voice fool you. Mr. Robot Season 3 has an extensive new trailer, and both Evil Corp and what’s left of Elliot’s psyche look to be on the chopping block in the manic new footage.

Elliot wasn’t in too good of shape when last we left Mr. Robot, but Season 3 already has the antisocial super-hacker up and running. See for yourself in a first clip, as an attempt to hack the Dark Army gets very personal, very quickly.
