Matt's Inside Line: Scoop On Daredevil, NCIS, The Rookie, 9-1-1, The Hunting Party, FBI: Most Wanted, Ghosts, All American, Grey's Anatomy And More!
Will we see Karen again on Daredevil: Born Again? When will NCIS get a blast from its past? Did a love triangle just crash-land on Ghosts? Read on for answers to those questions and others! (You can and should email any brand-new Qs to InsideLine@tvline.com.)
I'll take any Daredevil: Born Again scoop you have! –Greg
Matt giving those two dirty cops a buh-rutal beating at the close of Episode 2 will "absolutely" bite him in the ass, warns showrunner Dario Scardapane, adding: "One of them will be carrying a heck of a grudge." The EP went on to note, "The thing that I loved about that scene is when he's sitting there telling himself, 'Don't do this, you don't want to do this...,' he's not telling them not to do it. He's talking to himself."
Are we going to see Karen again on Daredevil: Born Again? –Claire
San Francisco is far away. But interestingly, during my interview with showrunner Dario Scardapane and EP Sana Amanat, when I suggested that Deborah Ann Woll will have a "limited presence" in the revival, they were quick to correct me. "'Limited presence' I would question," said Scardapane. "There are things to be revealed," and "because it is this [superhero] world, don't count everything out quite yet. There are returns that I think are surprising and inevitable."
Will we be able to watch/stream your Dark Winds cast interview? –Gilda
Wednesday evening's full Q&A will be available soon, posted here on TVLine and to our YouTube channel. And thanks again to those who braved the NYC rain to attend our latest TVLine Spotlight in person! (Mail InsideLine@tvline.com if you took a photo with the cast, I'll send it over.)
On All American, what can you share about Jordan's search for his late dad's long-lost half-brother? –Moozanna
We've already seen Jordan dip his toes into the latest Baker family investigation, but co-showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll says the sleuthing will come to a head at Grandpa Willy's 70th birthday celebration, taking place in the March 10 episode. "It might be one of my favorite moments of the season," she tells TVLine. "We have Monét [Mazur] back for that episode as Laura, and Jordan is legitimately on one in this quest to solve the mystery and reunite Grandpa Willy with someone who would remind him of Mary. It's a huge turning point for him." And though Carroll admits with a laugh that Jordan typically "sucks at solving" unanswered family questions — remember when he thought Spencer was his brother? — she hints that, in this case, "it will actually turn out that he may not have been as far off as he thought, and that ends up coming back later in the season, in a very pivotal way that affects both OG cast and new cast."
I'm dying to know what Hetty's ghost powers are. Any info on which Ghosts episode we're going to find out?
— Imola
The big reveal is coming up in Episode 16, titled "St. Hetty's Day" and airing March 13. "It's a fitting power for Hetty Woodstone, which I love," Brandon Scott Jones (aka Isaac) tells TVLine. "Listen, I think you could give Rebecca Wisocky anything, and she'll make it gold. I mean, her power could be, literally, just, like, staring off into the distance, and you'd still find it hilarious and funny and great." Bonus scoop: As introduced in this week's episode, "We have another ghost that kind of comes up that sort of challenges Isaac and Nigel's relationship a bit, because they're both in love with him," Jones previews. "Oops, maybe I've said too much."
Will we see an Amelia-centered storyline in the back half of Grey's Anatomy Season 21? –Levent
All I am at liberty to say is yes. Yes, you will.
What happened after FBI: Most Wanted's Nina went to visit her sister in Texas...? She missed the next episode because she was in Houston, and she's back on the show now, but nobody mentioned her sister (or the abusive brother-in law). –Joel
Rest assured, you will hear more from Nina's sister later this season.
Do you know if there will be another season of Diarra From Detroit? –Blake
I asked around for you, but no decision has been made yet on Season 2.
So glad 9-1-1 is finally back. Do you have anything you can tease about the back half of Season 8? – Kimmy
Do I ever! For starters, viewers will be reunited with Bobby's mother, last seen briefly in a flashback last season. "We're going to see what she's up to now," showrunner Tim Minear teases. "And then we have a very intense two-parter coming up a little bit before the end of the season. We're shooting it right now, and I think it's going to be one of my favorite things since the two-part plane episode."
How long do episodes of Paramount+'s upcoming Happy Face range in length? –Shirley
They run as short as 47 minutes (with credits), and as many as 58.
Anything on The Hunting Party's season finale? –Julie
The freshman NBC drama's 10th episode, airing April 7, "will leave people intrigued," teases star Melissa Roxburgh. "The way that they tie Season 1 up, I want to know what happens next. It's a really, really interesting concept — I can't say more about it — but I really want people to push through to the end because the payoff of what happened to the prisoners and who's actually in charge of it gets completely flipped around."
Any word where we might see Law & Order: Organized Crime on a Canadian service? –Don
Rogers has dibs, and Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5 will premiere up by you on Citytv+, on Thursday, April 17.
Is NCIS' Dr. Grace gonna show up again this season to help Parker solve the Lily mystery? –M
There are no plans at this time for another appearance by Laura San Giacomo, though Dr. Grace will be mentioned in an upcoming episode.
Brian Dietzen recently teased an NCIS character coming back later in the season that fans are going to lose their minds over. Any insight? –Ryan
All I can share is that Episode 18 is the one to watch for. (NCIS resumes Season 22 on Monday, March 24, with Episode 15.)
Any news on when Family Law will be back on The CW, or SurrealEstate back on Syfy? –Joey T
TVLine gave you the excluuuusive on SurrealEstate on Thursday. As for Family Law Season 4, yes, it will air Stateside on The CW, but no, there is no timetable yet. But it will be in 2025.
In light of the Amazon news, is The Chosen still going to air on The CW? –Dee
Nope. Outside of visiting a movie house (starting March 28), Prime Video will be the primary place to lay your peepers on coming seasons of the historical drama. (Update: New episodes will also land on The Chosen's proprietary app, but not until 90 days [or later] after their Prime Video release.)
Any news/update on the Jason Momoa's Apple TV+ miniseries Chief of War? It was announced almost three years ago, and last thing I heard was casting news in February 2023. Is it still happening? –Clara
Chief of War is "very much" still happening, I am assured.
Any scoop on The Rookie's return? –Deb
I can say that one of the four options offered here for James' fate proves to be correct. Also, it's worth noting that Tuesday's "midseason premiere" uncovers a second reason why Nyla winds up a suspect in the shooting, one having not to do with silly "jealousy." Bonus scoop: Also this Tuesday, Tim and Lucy briefly reflect on their dance at Nyla and James' wedding. What do you think Tim remembers most about Lucy's dress?
I was wondering when The Chase is coming back. Or is it? –Douglas
There is no news to share at this time, one way or the other, on the ABC quizzer.
How many episodes does Shark Tank have this season? Looks like it's less than 22. –Luis
It is in fact two less than 22. Meaning, there will be 20 episodes this season.
