Following the early March premiere of Ted Season 2 on Peacock, SciFi Vision sat down with Alanna Ubach, who plays the soft-spoken yet resilient matriarch Susan Bennett.

Filming for Ted wasn't just another day at the office; it was a rare immersion into Hollywood history. Ubach highlighted how unusual it is in the modern industry to film on a major studio lot. "It is very rare to be filming at a studio," Ubach noted, recalling the unique sensory experience of the Universal backlot.

With her trailer parked right next to the legendary Jaws attraction, her workday was punctuated by the sounds of the theme park. Every eight minutes, like clockwork, she would hear the familiar symphony of screaming, laughter, and pure fun from fans on the ride - a constant reminder of the "magic" surrounding the production.

In Season 2, Susan Bennett is working harder than ever to keep the family unit intact. Ubach describes Susan’s journey this year as a game of "whack-a-mole." As her family members cycle through their various crises and antics, Susan is "all over the place," jumping from one problem to the next to keep the household from imploding.

Despite the chaos, Ubach found herself constantly surprised by the scripts. While she initially thought the writers had drawn a line they couldn't possibly cross, she admitted, "Boy, do they surprise you." Working under the creative direction of Seth MacFarlane, she noted that while the subject matter pushes boundaries, she never felt uncomfortable. "When you are working for Seth MacFarlane, you know what you’re signing up for," she shared.

With Season 2 of Ted currently airing, fans are seeing a bolder, funnier version of the Bennett family. For Scott Grimes, who plays the gruff but lovable Matty Bennett, the experience of returning to this world was about more than just the jokes.

If Season 1 established the foundation, Season 2 is where Seth MacFarlane truly let loose. According to Grimes, while the core of the show remains grounded in the comfort of 70s and 80s sitcom tropes - complete with the same furniture, clothes, and character dynamics - the humor has evolved. “The comedy has been upped," Grimes noted. "We did what Seth wanted us to do in Season 1, but we kept it the same...Seth wrote more of what he wanted to write in Season 2."

This "more is more" approach seems to be paying off; Grimes shared that the series is performing even better than the first season since its release in early March.

At 54 years old, Grimes is a veteran of the industry, but filming on the Universal Studios lot in Los Angeles still moves him to tears. Having started his career in LA at the age of 11, walking onto a historic studio lot remains a sacred experience for him.

PARAMOUNT+ RENEWS SCHOOL SPIRITS FOR A FOURTH SEASON | Created by Nate Trinrud & Megan Trinrud and Produced by Paramount Television Studios

Created by Nate Trinrud & Megan Trinrud and Produced by Paramount Television Studios
 
Paramount+ has renewed School Spirits for a fourth season. The hit original drama, produced by Paramount Television Studios, closed its critically acclaimed third season on March 4 with a perfect 100% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes. All three seasons are now streaming on Paramount+ in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Latin America, and Brazil.

School Spirits season three stars Peyton List as Maddie Nears, Kristian Ventura as Simon Elroy, Spencer MacPherson as Xavier Baxter, Kiara Pichardo as Nicole Herrera, Sarah Yarkin as Rhonda, Nick Pugliese as Charley, Rainbow Wedell as Claire Zomer, Josh Zuckerman as Mr. Martin, Maria Dizzia as Sandra Nears, Ci Hang Ma as Quinn, Miles Elliot as Yuri, and Milo Manheim as Wally Clark.

School Spirits was created by Nate Trinrud & Megan Trinrud, who are co-showrunners and executive producers on the series. Oliver Goldstick (Pretty Little Liars, Bridgerton) will return to season four as a consultant. List also serves as an executive producer on the series. 

Sci-fi fans should recognize Alex Zahara from his versatility across more than 150 television and film projects over the years, ranging from Jeremiah to Stargate SG-1 to Supernatural to Fringe and everything in between. More recently, he appeared in the film Final Destination: Bloodlines and plays the role of Principal Hartman in the supernatural series School Spirits.

Recently Zahara was kind enough to appear on SciFi Vision’s livestream spotlight series to speak not only about his role on School Spirits and the end of the season, but also about his prolific acting career and what’s next for him.

While crafting Hartman, the actor pulled from both the script as well as real-life school principals he had, as opposed to other principals on the screen. “I'm basing him on the script, what I believe his needs and wants and goals are, plus a little amalgamation of real people that I know,” the actor told SciFi Vision, likening it to a cocktail. “As actors, we're sponges. We absorb everything from everywhere.”

Zahara connected early on to the material and thought the concept was appealing because of his own beliefs in the supernatural. “I believe in ghosts; I believe in spirits, and that's why it's been a pleasure working on this, because I do think there's stuff out there,” explained the actor. In fact, he even offered up a real experience he had as a child, a visitation he believed was from his great aunt, and he knows he’s not the only one. “I'm not alone. There are a lot of people who have had ghostly, or I would say energetic encounters, and that's for real…There's no denying that there's something beyond our mortal coil, for sure.”

Nathan Fillion Makes Surprise Announcement of New Animated “Firefly” Series in Advanced Development at Awesome Con

March 15, 2026 - Nathan Fillion surprised fans today with the announcement that he and 20th Television Animation are in advanced stages of development on a new animated series based on the beloved cult sci-fi franchise “Firefly.” The reveal came during a panel and live taping of his podcast “Once We Were Spacemen” at Awesome Con in Washington, D.C., where the news was met by a packed, standing-room-only crowd with thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers.

Fillion made the announcement alongside his former “Firefly” co-star and podcast co-host Alan Tudyk, joined by fellow original cast members Gina Torres, Jewel Staite, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, and Summer Glau that amplified speculation already building online.

The reveal followed a viral social media campaign featuring a series of cryptic videos starring Fillion and several of his “Firefly” co-stars. In the first clip, Fillion knocks on what appears to be a production trailer door as Torres asks, “Does this mean it’s time?” Fillion responds simply, “It’s time.” Subsequent videos featured Baccarin, Maher, Staite, Glau, Baldwin and Tudyk, which ignited intense fan speculation and generated tens of millions of views across platforms.

Recently, Outlander began its eighth and final season. Thinking they’ve left the war behind them, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitríona Balfe) Fraser return to Fraser’s Ridge to find a settlement that has thrived in the years they’ve been away, operating without their influence. The two discover, however, that leaving the war behind them is harder than they expected, and they soon must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for the place they call home as well as what they would sacrifice to stay together.

Recently, executive producers Matthew B. Roberts and Maril Davis spoke with SciFi Vision about the impact Frank Randall’s book would have on the characters, difficulties in wrapping up the series, and more.

New episodes premiere each Friday on the STARZ app and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.
