出生入死第五季

　　CBS will be bringing back another one of its veteran dramas for the 2019-20 TV season.
　　Announced this afternoon, the network has officially renewed “NCIS” for its seventeenth season. The news comes after star and executive producer, Mark Harmon, signed a new deal with CBS to reprise his role on the series.
　　“NCIS has been a global juggernaut for almost two decades,” said CBS Entertainment President, Kelly Kahl. “Its viewers are clearly the most loyal of any drama on television. They are passionate about the characters, the plotlines and the storytelling. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the gifted production team and the cast, led by the extraordinary Mark Harmon. We are delighted that the show will remain a linchpin of the CBS schedule this coming season.”
　　In its current season, “NCIS” has been averaging 12.2 million viewers in the live + same day ratings, making it TV’s second-most-watched scripted series, behind only “The Big Bang Theory.” It has remained a strong performer for CBS, in both its ratings and viewership numbers, and was widely considered to be a strong renewal contender leading up to the announcement today.
　　With this renewal, “NCIS” now joins “Young Sheldon,” “Mom,” “Criminal Minds,” “God Friended Me,” “Magnum P.I.,” “FBI,” and “The Neighborhood” on a growing list scripted titles confirmed to be returning on CBS for the 2019-20 season.

　　第10季将引入另一条长期故事线——意即引入一个和第八季「复制者」（The Replicator）类似的「未知对象」（unsub）。詹妮弗·洛芙·休伊特从本季开始扮演FBI探员Kate Callahan，她将填补Blake离去后留下的空白。行动分析组在调查一个连环杀人案，这个时候，一位新的探员Kate Callahan加入团队中。

　　主创确认第三季为该系列最终季，最终季将于2024年上映

　　Issa Rae开发的《说唱女团 Rap Sh*t》讲述一个在迈阿密的女子说唱组合想在音乐界闯出自己的事业。

　　故事发生在囚犯袭击Elias Voit的六个月之后，他在暗网上的追随者开始在全国各地大肆搞破坏。为了阻止这个邪恶的组织杀害更多无辜者，BAU不得不与越来越难以预测、有自己目的的Voit进行合作。

　　《火线警探》(Justified) 是根据埃尔莫·伦纳德 (Elmore Leonard) 2001年小说《当心火药》(Fire in the Hole) 中美国联邦执行法警雷伦·吉文斯 (Raylan Givens) 这一西部牛仔式人物形象创作的美国红色罪案剧集。
　　雷伦在亲爹阿洛 (Arlo) 住处发现陈年驾照，将众人目光引向过世愈30年的神秘男子德鲁·汤普森——是否确有其人？到底是死是活？缘何多方瞩目？
　　雷伦上司、列克星敦首席联邦执行法警阿特·穆伦 (Art Mullen) 的这一番随手探访，不曾想惊动了身处底特律的黑帮大佬西奥·托嫩 (Theo Tonin)，更是把肯塔基小镇哈伦 (Harlan) 搅得天翻地覆、尘土飞扬。

　　Ryan Murphy dropped a teaser for a new series titled Grotesquerie in an Instagram post (see it below) on Friday. According to the post, it will star Niecy Nash-Betts — who has worked with Murphy several times before and is coming off an Emmy win for Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story — Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville and is set to premiere in the fall.
　　The teaser features Nash-Betts’ voice, sounding very disturbed about a crime scene: “I don’t know when it started. I can’t put my finger on it. But it’s different now. There’s been a shift. It’s like something’s opening up in the world — a kind of hole to the center of nothingness. What I saw today — they sent shrinks for everyone who worked this crime scene. You think, ‘Well hon, evil has always existed,’ and cite some statistic about how the world’s getting better, less murder, more help, less global horror, never been a better time to be alive, honey.”
　　Her voice cracking, Nash-Betts (or rather, her character) concludes by saying, “Come back. It’s not getting better. And I keep needing to hear your answers, because something’s happening around us, and nobody sees but me.”

　　The Guest (4x60) is an addictive, fast-paced story that centres on the toxic and beguiling relationship between a successful business owner, Fran, and her employee, Ria.
　　Ria has never had the time or opportunity to think about what she might actually want from the world. So, when she starts cleaning for Fran, she’s intoxicated by this confident and self-assured woman who encourages her to take control of her life and, when Ria flourishes, an intense friendship is forged.
　　However, when Fran’s advice leads to a shocking event, the lives of these two very different women become intertwined by shared secrets and dangerous plots. What follows is a compelling and manipulative game of cat-and-mouse. But just who is playing who?

　　这部剧集是上世纪九十年代最流行的情景喜剧《Seinfeld》的主创之一拉里·大卫(Larry meijubar.net David)自编自演，根据他在洛杉矶影艺圈的生活创造的喜剧。他把《Seinfeld》的风格推向极端化。HBO因是有线电视所以不需要很大的观众圈，所以HBO上的剧集常常风格独具。《抑制热情》显得特别生活化，很是写意，有很多现场发挥，刚开始播时观众圈不大，之后开始名声见长。拉里·大卫凭此剧获艾美奖2000年度喜剧类剧集最佳男主角提名。
　　本剧是根据拉里-大卫当初在洛杉矶演艺圈的亲身经历改变而成，并由大卫自编自演而成的喜剧。把《Seinfeld》的风格推向了极端化。通过《抑制热情》让观众看到了大卫的正直、大方和谦虚，这位创作大师通过HBO带给观众无数的欢笑。而剧情游弋在真实与虚构之间，大卫和演员们把真实的洛杉矶生活呈现在银幕上，就仿佛有一架摄影机，随时把那真实的经历实况转播给观众一样。更重要的是，本剧本身是没有剧本的，往往依靠演员们的即兴表演赋予演出进度和新鲜感。而这造就了本剧的变幻莫测和与众不同。
