Mayans Mc, Kurt Sutter’s Sons of Anarchy spinoff, drew solid numbers in its series premiere Tuesday in Live+Sd, with 2.53 million viewers and a 1.1 rating in the key adults 18-49 demo.
The numbers are nearly identical to the Sons of Anarchy premiere on Sept. 3, 2008, which also drew 2.53 million viewers with a slightly higher 1.2 among adults 18-49. Mayans Mc in a time when delayed and on-demand viewing was far less common. This marks the biggest FX new series premiere since the blockbuster debut of American Crime Story with People v. Oj.
The Purge series, based on The Purge movie franchise, drew 1.39 million viewers in its Tuesday premiere, and a 0.55 rating in the 18-49 demo for USA Network. That is just shy of the February premiere of Unsolved in the same time slot.
Meanwhile, Bet’s miniseries The Bobby Brown Story wrapped its two-night premiere Tuesday with 6.6 million total viewers,...

No, there’s not about to be an arrest in the cold case from the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, Las Vegas police told TheWrap.
“We are aware of the statements made in the BET interview regarding the Tupac case. As a result of those statements we have spent the last several months reviewing the case in its entirety,” Lt. Ray Spencer, who heads up the Lvmpd Homicide Section, told TheWrap in a statement Thursday. “Various reports that an arrest warrant is about to be submitted are inaccurate. This case still remains an open homicide case.”
So what is this interview they are referencing that has led the Lvmpd to review the case “in its entirety” over the last few months? Well, there was an episode of BET's “Death Row Chronicles” docuseries that aired in February and featured interviews with Keffe D — a Southside Crips member and the late...

“The fact that we’ve never really dealt with their humanity and got to understand them as young men, as well as young artists, is a tragedy in and of itself,” “Unsolved” lead director and executive producer Anthony Hemingway says in an interview with Gold Derby (watch the exclusive video above). The USA Network true crime anthology program, which was subtitled “The Murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G.,” starred Josh Duhamel and Jimmi Simpson.
Referring to the iconic pair of young rappers who were murdered separately in the 1990s as “two little kids really,” Hemingway explains, “Those two had voices that really spoke loudly about what was happening in their reality and just w[ere]n’t heard. We are going through it again today. Kendrick Lamar is that right now, Childish Gambino is that right now and these voices are sounding alarms and we need to take heed and listen.

Peak TV has led to a new golden age for movies on the small screen. This year alone some of those boldfaced names included Al Pacino in “Paterno,” Michael B. Jordan in “Fahrenheit 451” and Catherine Zeta-Jones in “Cocaine Godmother.”
“I don’t think there’s ever been a better time for television. The amount of creativity, diversity, talent — it’s contagious,” says Zeta-Jones.
The Academy Award-winning actress should know. After trying to get a film about ruthless Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco off the ground for years, she finally found a home for it on Lifetime, which, to her surprise, offered her everything she wanted as the project’s headliner.
“I think the joy as an actor is having the ability to work with great people, be passionate about something and to have people see it, which I had in Lifetime,” she says. After that, “good work is good work wherever it is.

Cinematographer Stephan Pehrsson wanted to capture “the different iterations of ‘Star Trek‘” for the “Black Mirror” episode “U.S.S. Callister.” This installment of Charlie Brooker‘s acclaimed anthology series centers on Robert Daly (Jesse Plemmons), a lonely coder who creates a virtual reality video game based on his favorite sci-fi series, casting himself as the dictatorial captain. Cristin Milioti co-stars as Nanette, the beautiful new hire who becomes a digital clone in his imagined universe. Watch our exclusive video interview with Pehrsson above.

“We started off with the classic ’60s look,” Pehrsson explains, referring to the original William Shatner-led version of “Trek.” To do this he used “a 4:3 format with a very static camera” and “Dutch framing.” His lighting also featured “nice eye-light” for Plemmons and “beautiful, glossy frames for the female actors” like Milioti.

It’s been more than 20 years since the tragic murders of Tupac Shakur and Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace, and memories of many details may have faded. In particular, it’s been nearly forgotten that despite all the hype of an East Coast/West Coast rap war at the time, Tupac and Biggie were initially pals — and respected each other’s craft.
USA’s new series “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G.,” focuses on the failed investigations into the murders of both hip-hop stars, killed when they were in their 20s and at the height of their fame. Was it a function of the so-called East Coast-West Coast rap wars at the time? Was it a gang hit? And were rogue cops from the Lapd involved? Plenty of theories have been bandied about through the years, and “Unsolved” dives into those details with new gusto.

For a show called (branded, really) “Unsolved,” the first season certainly drives toward a definitive ending. The new USA anthology series serves as a detailed, time-jumping, and exploratory journey into multiple, years-long investigations, but it isn’t a nuanced take on the criminal justice system (or nuanced at all, for that matter). Nor is “Unsolved” a human story meant to honor the victims or the men seeking justice for their deaths. It plays out like a mystery, and by the end of the seventh episode (out of 10 total), “The Murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G.” takes a stand behind one theory.
For cable TV, perhaps that should be expected. It would take a lot of moxie to launch a franchise based around big questions without any answers — kind of like making an entire TV show based around a mystery that will never be solved — and USA’s...
