HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER Preview: A New Season and a New Mystery
Season 2 of HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER seemed to delve more into the personal lives of the characters and led Wes to his real father, who was shot dead moments after Wes first properly met him.
Now a preview for season 3 of the show teases a brand new mystery, new secrets and new jobs for our characters. Annalise is holding her first criminal law clinic, which means her students are now practicing lawyers. And Annalise has been branded a “killer” around campus. What’s the shocking new potential death that leads to her despodently shouting “NOOOOOO!!!!” at the end of the preview? That remains to be seen. What we do know, according to the network, is “as the group struggles to move on with their lives and focus on their clients, their past continues to haunt them. With Wallace Mahoney’s murder unsolved and Frank’s whereabouts still unknown, Annalise and her inner circle struggle to keep their secrets from getting exposed. Relationships will be fractured, lies will spin out of control, and a shocking, new mystery will upend their entire lives.”
HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER returns for an all new season on Thursday, September 22 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

SUPERNATURAL Season 12 Premiere Photos: The Return of Mary and the Quest to Save Sam
Two big things happened at the end of season 11 of SUPERNATURAL: Mary Winchester was brought back to life and Sam Winchester was kidnapped by the British Men of Letters (although the show wanted us to believe he might have been killed).
The CW has released photos from the season 12 premiere that reveal a few important facts: Sam is, indeed, still alive. He’s also tied up and being interrogated by Toni Bevell and tortured by a woman identified in the photo credits as Ms. Watt. As the younger Winchester brother suffers at the hands of the British MOL, Dean, Mary and Castiel are on a hunt to find and save Sam. And along the way, they too come in contact with Ms. Watt, who manages to bloody up the rescue group. Will Dean find his brother before the end of the season premiere? Only time will tell!
Thanks to spoilers from Comic-Con, we also know that once the brothers are reunited, both of them will understandably be concerned about Mary as a hunter. After all, we know how prone the Winchesters are towards protectiveness, so having her back in their lives after losing her so young will mean they’re doubly worried about losing her again.
Elsewhere in season 12, expect to see Castiel on the hunt for Lucifer, who will be inhabiting a new body soon enough. Crowley is also searching for the angel who stole his throne to get a little revenge.
Browse through the photos above and tune in for the season premiere of SUPERNATURAL on Thursday, October 13 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
Trailer Park: SHAMELESS Season 7
Can’t wait to find out how Fiona and the family pick up following what may have gone down as the most disastrous wedding finale in television history? Stop wondering and start watching. Specifically, the official SHAMELESS season seven trailer that just dropped.
As per a Showtime press release, “The seventh season picks up a month after last season’s finale, with the Gallaghers ready for another sizzling summer on the South Side of Chicago. The Gallaghers have always scraped by, but this season finds some of them finally getting a leg up, with more changes than the currents of the Chicago River. When Frank (Macy) awakens from a coma to learn that his loved ones tossed him in the river, he declares war – Gallagher vs. Gallagher. But Fiona (Rossum) is too busy improving her own life to worry about Frank’s. After last season’s devastating betrayal, she’s now moved on, a warrior, and nothing is getting in the way of her new life as manager of Patsy’s – including her family. Gallagher Golden Boy Lip (White) finishes up his time in rehab, and emerges with a new outlook on alcoholism and a grim vision of his future, whereas the once-unstable Ian (Monaghan) is now thriving as an EMT and in a comfortable relationship. Debbie (Kenney) is still figuring out how to be a good mom to young Franny, while Carl (Cutkosky) has some big decisions to face as he enters manhood. With Fiona’s new determination to make something of herself, will the rest of the Gallaghers fall apart without Fiona there to pick up the pieces?”
SHAMELESS Season 7 premieres on Sunday, October 2nd At 9 PM (TMN in Canada)
THE FLASH Season 3 Premiere Photos: Welcome to Flashpoint
The CW released a trailer for season 3 of THE FLASH at Comic-Con that showed us this strange new world that Barry will be inhabiting as a result of changing the past in the season 2 finale. Known as “Flashpoint”, Barry comes back to a present where both of his parents are alive, Wally West is Kid Flash, Cisco is a very rich man, Joe is very unhappy, and Iris isn’t Barry’s love interest. While he has his parents back after their untimely deaths, changing the past may have given Barry some ramifications that he simply can’t live with.
But will he go back in time again to change the past? That’s yet to be seen. What we do have now are photos from the season 3 premiere that show us some happy times with the reunited Allen family and a meeting between Iris and Barry. The two don’t really know each other well in the Flashpoint universe, but are there already sparks brewing in one of these photos?
THE FLASH will return for its third season on Tuesday, October 4 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
ARROW Season 5 Premiere Photos: New Villains and New Vigilantes
There’s a new Team Arrow in town when ARROW returns for its fifth season. Thea and Diggle have both walked away from their vigilante lives and new vigilantes are springing up around town as a result of the Damien Darhk situation. Felicity and Oliver are still trying to keep the city safe at night, but Oliver is also trying to improve Star City by day as the mayor.
Photos released today from The CW show Oliver fighting crime as Mayor and as the Green Arrow. You also get a glimpse at new baddy Prometheus and scenes from the Russian flashbacks that will surface this year. Finally, we spot Thea in her Speedy outfit…but didn’t she hang up her hood? Browse through photos above to see for yourself.
ARROW will return on Wednesday, October 5 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
