Maggie Grace has something to fear.

Wow, Fear is really building cast list. Looking forward to next season.
Me too. Season 1 was a mess but now FTWD is much more interesting than TWD.
I wonder if it will be ALL of Cougar Town since the last three seasons were on TBS. I wish they would come out on DVD, but if it’s the complete series on Hulu that’s a huge plus for me!
According to Variety, it is the “complete library”. Unfortunately Hulu is not supposed to have the episodes until sometime in 2018.
I’m super excited for U2 on SNL this week. I’m always dreaming on Cecily Strong.
So that’s four new cast members that have signed on as series regulars for next season… makes sense considering the Otto family is gone now, but this also makes me think that at least one of the characters didn’t survive the finale. Regardless, I’m excited to see what these new characters bring to the show and how Lennie James’ Morgan will tie into the story.
AMC posted some pictures of Lennie James first table read a couple of days ago which basically spoiled their finale. All we knew at the end of the season was that Madison was the only obvious survivor of the bridge explosion. Needless to say those pictures had more characters in them than just her, lmao!!
Good casting for Fear’s new season. I knew about Agent Carter being on Hulu. Good that Designated Survivor will have all of their seasons on Hulu.
Omg love her, awesome!!
And yay for revenge!!
Hulu is getting Bunheads? Now I HAVE to subscribe!!!!
