Entertainment NOW

TV Media Weekly | January 24 - 30, 2015 8 | Sunday afternoon "American Crime Story's" name pretty much tells it all: each season will be a self-contained retelling of some of the most no- torious crimes and criminal pro- ceedings in America's history. The first 10-episode season, subtitled "The People vs. O. J. Simpson," will recount the fa- mous trial of the former NFL run- ning back that riveted news watchers around the world. It's expected to premiere later in 2015. Cast as the defendant himself is Hollywood leading man and Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. Along with his Academy Award winning role in 1996's "Jerry Maguire," he's been the star of dozens of hit movies, including "American Gangster" (2007) and "Rat Race" (2001). The O. J. Simpson trial riveted the nation 20 years ago, and the 10-episode retelling of it has the potential to do it again. "Ameri- can Crime Story: The People vs. O. J. Simpson" is expected to pre- miere on FX later this year. "Walking" in the footsteps of giants: AMC is suddenly embrac- ing spinoffs in a big way — and you really can't blame them for it. After all, having two of the biggest shows in cable TV history is a blessing that would be shameful to waste. By now, fans of the wrapped- up "Breaking Bad" are no doubt champing at the bit for that acclaimed show's spinoff, "Better Call Saul," which pre- mieres on Sunday, Feb. 8, on AMC. And although it's so far been overshadowed in the en- tertainment news by the excite- ment over "Saul," the news that AMC is also working on a spinoff show for "The Walking Dead" is just as much reason to get excited. After all, "The Walking Dead" has the distinction of being the highest rated show on cable tele- vision — ever. Those are some big shoes to fill for a spinoff. Given the working title "Cobalt" (which may or may not end up being the show's final name), the spinoff will feature a new cast of characters struggling to survive during the zombie apocalypse. To date, only a few actors have been announced for the compan- ion show, but with an anticipated late-2015 premiere date, more will likely be climbing aboard soon. Frank Dillane ("Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," 2009) and Alycia Debnam Carey ("The 100"), two promising young actors, have signed on for "Cobalt," following the announcements that Cliff Cur- tis ("Missing") and Kim Dickens ("Sons of Anarchy") will star. "The Walking Dead" has been a huge boon for AMC, and "Co- balt" is promising to bring fans more of that zombie survival goodness. Watch for it later in 2015. 01/25 1 PM 1:30 2 PM 2:30 3 PM 3:30 4 PM 4:30 5 PM 5:30 6 PM 6:30 S1 S2 K WTTV 4 A.
