10 ENTERTAINMENT EXTRA By Raye Smith TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON HBO MAX "Love & Death" The line between love and betrayal gets blurred in the new seven- episode true crime miniseries "Love & Death" when it premieres its first three episodes on HBO Max Thursday, April 27. The remaining episodes air weekly on Thursdays. A fictionalized retelling of the brutal 1980 murder of Betty Gore (por- trayed in the series by Lily Rabe, "Shrinking"), "Love & Death" follows the events leading up to her death and the not-so-innocent lives of her fellow Texan friends and neighbors. After Betty is murdered with an axe in her own home, and the police determine that she likely knew her killer personally, accusing eyes quickly turn to her husband, Allan (Jesse Plemons, "The Power of the Dog," 2021), and then to her close friend, Candy Montgomery (Elizabeth Olsen, "WandaVision"), with whom her husband was hav- ing an affair. As the investigation digs deeper, dark secrets begin to bubble up to the surface. From writ- er/executive producer David E. Kel- ley ("Big Little Lies") and director Lesli Linka Glatter ("Homeland"), the series is inspired by the book "Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs" by Jim Atkinson, John Bloom and Joe Bob Briggs, as well as a collec- tion of articles from Texas Monthly ("Love & Death in Silicon Prairie," Part I and II). "Love & Death" also stars Patrick Fugit ("Treadstone"), Krysten Ritter ("Jessica Jones"), Keir Gilchrist ("It's Kind of a Funny Story," 2010), Elizabeth Marvel ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"), Mackenzie Astin ("The Facts of Life"), Olivia Grace Applegate ("Driven"), Fabiola Andújar ("Hit & Run"), Kira Pozehl ("American Crime"), Ryan Murphy ("Hypnot- ic," 2023), Harper Heath ("Forever and a Day," 2022) and Amelie Dal- limore ("Honey: Us," 2021). WHAT'S NEW ON PRIME VIDEO "Citadel" - Season 1 The future of civilization hangs in the balance in the new Prime Video original series "Citadel," premiering on the Amazon stream- ing platform Friday, April 28. Eight years before the beginning of the story, Citadel — an independent global spy agency tasked with up- holding the safety and security of all people — fell, destroyed by the operatives of a powerful, shadowy syndicate called Manticore. During the fall, elite Citadel agents Mason Kane (Richard Madden, "Game of Thrones") and Nadia Sinh (Priyan- ka Chopra Jonas, "Quantico") nar- rowly escaped with their lives but had their memories wiped in the process. Now, as Manticore is trying to establish a new world order, a colleague from their past seeks out their help to stop Manticore once and for all. As Mason and Nadia reunite to stop the syndicate, they'll have to try desperately to dig up as many memories from their past lives as they can — even though it means digging up the secrets and lies of their complicated past in the process. From Amazon Studios and the Russo Brothers' AGBO, the series is helmed by showrunner Da- vid Weil ("Hunters") and directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo ("The Gray Man," 2022), Bryan Kirk ("21 Bridges," 2019) and Newton Thomas Sigel ("Bohemian Rhapsody," 2018). Stanley Tucci ("Spotlight," 2015), Lesley Man- ville ("Phantom Thread," 2017), Ashleigh Cummings ("Puberty Blues"), Roland Møller ("Land of Mine," 2015), Osy Ikhile ("The Feed"), Moira Kelly ("One Tree Hill") and Caoilinn Springall ("The Midnight Sky," 2020) also star.

Season 2 picks back up as a deadly new wave of "the Sick" bears down on the land. After Gus and his fellow hybrids are held captive by the Last Men, Gus agrees to help the doctors in order to save his friends, and he must find new strength as he learns about the origins of The Great Crumble along the way.
