Tonight NBC premieres the second season of its medical drama Transplant. The season marks many changes for all of the characters at York Hospital. At the end of last season, Dr. Jed Bishop (John Hannah) suffered a stroke, and being out of commission really changes things at the hospital without the trauma team’s leader on duty. Him being gone is a scary thing for Dr. Bashir Hamed, according to the actor who plays him, Hamza Haq. “[T]his man who’s been a pillar in his stability in the hospital…he's also his lifesaver,” said Haq during a recent exclusive video interview with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision. “He's the one who protects him from all of the the politics and the bureaucracy of the reality of his life, which is that he doesn't have access to his medical transcripts, and if Bishop is no longer there to protect him and to help him through that and navigate the requirements that the Canadian medical system has, it's curtains for Bashir as well. There's this dependence on Bishop. He hired all of us…and everybody is affected by the potential of him not making it through this medical episode.”

Recenty Reacher, which is based on the book series by Lee Child and has already been renewed for a second season, came to Prime Video. Harvey Guillén, who plays the part of medical examiner Jasper, purposely did not read the books until after filming so that he could bring more of himself into the role. “I'm glad I didn't,” said Guillén. “I try not to do that with any of the projects that I do, just so I'm not persuaded to [do] what was written…because then you don't bring yourself into the character. You’ve got to find a little bit of yourself.”

Guillén related to the quiet nature of Jasper, who is quite unlike his character of Guillermo in What We Do in the Shadows. “With Jasper, I feel that he's a mama's boy,” said the actor. “He's very [much] wanting to stay home and whatnot…Growing up, it was just me and my mom for a while, and she was a single parent. So, it really kind of touched me, and I relate to him in that way, but also liking the idea of stability, but also not too much craziness…I think that, for Jasper, it was just nice to like a simple life and wanting that quietness that is just nice once in a while, just a peace and quiet. I remember really liking that.”

***The transcript portion of the following interview contains spoilers for the series finale***

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Deborah Harkness, A Discovery of Witches tells the story of forbidden love in the world of witches, vampires, and daemons. Last week SciFi Vision caught up with series star, Teresa Palmer, before the eagerly-awaited finale, to talk about Diana Bishop’s final journey and what it means to the actress.

Palmer worked closely with Harkness through the seasons on building Diana, and it really helped her to find her footing as the character. “It was so empowering for me,” said Palmer. “She was like, ‘You are Diana; that's why we cast you. I chose you, because of your spirit, your essence.’

The actress continued that Harkness put a lot of herself in the character, and the two of them see a lot of each other in themselves, but not when it comes to academia, which caused Palmer some doubt. The author was quick to reassure her, however. “I’d start obsessing about the little things,” said the actress. “…I think I was vulnerable, because I kept saying, ‘Well, I'm not an academic, and I don't find pleasure in academics the way you do…’ She was like, ‘But it's all in you. It's all there. Just lean into it.’ I think that that felt very liberating.”

During the interview Palmer also talked about how much Diana has grown since the beginning of the series. “When we see her in the first season, she's still running away from who she truly is and really living a life that doesn't serve her in any way; I can tell by looking back at that first season. I was like, ‘Oh, she's such a shell of herself, of who she ultimately becomes.’…It's not until even midway through the second season, where I'm like, ‘Oh, she's really landing into a place where she's empowered and sitting in her authenticity,’ which is really lovely to watch.

Recently, HBO Max premiered season two of Raised by Wolves. In the second season of the series, Mother (Amanda Collin) and Father (Abubakar Salim) and the human children settle in the new atheistic colony in the tropical zone of Kepler 22 b.

During a recent exclusive interview with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision, creator Aaron Guzikowski talked a bit about the atheist collective colony and teased a bit about what’s to come. “There's a lot more evidence here of the society that once existed on this planet, previously, this ancient civilization,” said Guzikowski, “and we're starting to get some little clues as to kind of what made that civilization tick, that in fact there was kind of this religious connotation to a lot of what was going on there. They're finding these strange scan cards, but they're too damaged to get the information off of them…They're finding the [cards] scattered all over the tropical zone, and they're trying to figure out what exactly it means.”

Yesterday, Prime Video dropped the new Reacher television series a day early. The show is based on the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child and stars Alan Ritchson in the title role. In the book, the character is large and imposing, and the actor had to train for the role. “I've, I've tried to stay fit most of my career,” said Ritchson to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision during a recent interview, “but I walk around like 205 usually, and [they wanted me] to be 235 for this. So, during the pandemic when you can't get to a gym, because everything’s shut down, it made it interesting. So, I was fortunate enough to be able to build a little mini gym in [our] living room and our dining room…I worked out five days a week, once we got a little closer to production.”

The actor also told the site they did a lot of fight training. “We worked with knives. I was able to recall some of my work on Hunger Games: Catching Fire, where I worked with a dagger extensively and got really good at it. So, it was fun to be able to sort of recall that, but fighting with a bicycle tire and a necktie was new to me. So, it took a little work, but the stunt team was patient with me while we built those fights, and I think they came out great.”

Recently, Syfy premiered the second season of its hit comedy series, Resident Alien. On the series, Sara Tomko plays Asta, who is the only one who knows Harry (Alan Tudyk)’s secret. Alice Wetterlund plays the role of D’Arcy, who is Asta’s best friend. The two actresses get along really well outside of the series as well as on the show. “In general, my friendship with D'Arcy is very reflective of my friendship with Alice,” said Tomko to SciFi Vision during a recent roundtable interview with the press. “…We are chosen family. She makes me laugh like nobody else, and we just get along so well, and it's so easy when we're in scenes together.”

The actress added that she would like if D’Arcy would find out the truth about Harry.

Tomorrow, the new series Reacher, based on the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child, premieres on Prime Video. In the series, Malcolm Goodwin plays the role of Captain Oscar Finlay, Chief of Detectives at the Margrave Police Department, who ends up working with Reacher (Alan Ritchson). Goodwin is probably best known for his role as Detective Clive Babineaux in the CW series iZombie. According to the actor, who recently talked to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview, that role did affect the way he portrayed Finlay. “It definitely did inform this character in terms of just, [how] it felt like I was a police officer,” said Goodwin. “It felt like I really did it; it felt like I had a history of it. I'm not gonna lie…I feel like I saw the good seventy-two cases or whatever it was murder cases! So, yeah, just going through that, iZombie did help inform in terms of the knowledge that Finley would have going into the chief detective position.”

Tomorrow, Syfy airs an all-new episode of its hit series, Resident Alien. In the second season of the series, rather than still trying to leave the planet, Harry’s goal is to protect Asta (Sara Tomko) from the other aliens who may be coming. During a recent roundtable interview, showrunner Chris Sheridan talked to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision about Harry’s need to learn empathy and to care about others. “He doesn't really care about everyone else dying,” said Sheridan. “He’s fine with that…It's just Asta he wants to protect, so journey-wise, what he needs to realize is what Asta is trying to hammer into him: you can't just be okay with me surviving. What about everybody [else]?...Harry doesn't understand the concept of that. He hasn't learned empathy yet; he hasn't learned this connectivity between human beings yet that we all - most of us - know inherently just by being kids and growing up in the playground.

“...So, his journey, especially in season two, is to learn empathy and to learn to love and to appreciate and care about people outside of Asta.”

Season three of Snowpiercer, which takes place on a gigantic, perpetually movie train circling the frozen earth, recently premiered its third season on TNT. At the start of the season, Bennett Knox is dealing with the loss of Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly), according to Goldberg. “It's obviously a very difficult season for Bennett,” said the actor in an exclusive interview with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision, “I think he's dealing with a lot of emotions and frustrations, trying to process the loss of Melanie, the fact that she's not on the train.”

At the beginning of the third season on Snowpiercer, Bess Till, played by Mickey Sumner, is starting to question their plans, according to the actress. “I think Till’s sort of suffering from cabin fever,” said Sumner to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision during a recent exclusive interview. “I think she's questioning their mission and whether it's really worth it and whether it's going to work. I think she's a little checked out…She's sort of waiting for the fight, which might might or might not come.”
