It wouldn’t be Doctor Who without monsters. And even though the show is now known as Doctor Who: Flux, it promises more creatures great and small.
The trailer for the show’s 13th season is out now (watch it above), revealing a first look at the guest actors and monsters that will be featured across the six-episode series. The character names of the guests and the monster names, as well as who will be playing them, will be announced at a later date.
The shows will be among the last for Jodie Whittaker, the first female Doctor in the iconic role. Three specials next year will be her swan song, with showrunner Chris Chibnall also departing for returning showrunner Russell T. Davies.
Joining regular cast members Whittaker, Mandip Gill, John Bishop and Jacob Anderson are:
Robert Bathurst (Cold Feet), Thaddea Graham (The Irregulars), Blake Harrison (The Inbetweeners), Kevin McNally...

Last night, NBC aired the final two episodes of their mystery-thriller series, Persons Unknown. The show revolves around a group of people who wake up in a small town and must figure out how to survive and escape. The cast includes Chadwick Boseman, Lee Purcell, Jason Wiles, Andy Greenfield, Daisy Betts, Tina Holmes, Alan Ruck, Kate Lang Johnson, Sean O'Bryan, and Gerald Kyd.
NBC waited until summer to air Persons Unknown; a time when fewer people watch television and their isn't much competition. On Monday nights, it got very poor ratings, even for a summer show, and was consequently sent to the TV graveyard known as Saturday nights.
Remi Aubuchon, one of the show's executive producers, has said that the show was originally envisioned to have self-contained seasons but could easily run for multiple years. Based on the ratings and their treatment of the...

Are you a devoted viewer of NBC's Persons Unknown? If you end up watching all 13 episodes, you have to be.
Persons Unknown follows the challenges of a group of strangers who wake up in a ghost town and are unable to leave. The series features Chadwick Boseman, Lee Purcell, Jason Wiles, Andy Greenfield, Daisy Betts, Tina Holmes, Alan Ruck, Kate Lang Johnson, Sean O’Bryan, and Gerald Kyd.
After five weeks of poor ratings, NBC moved the series from Mondays to the "TV graveyard," Saturday nights. The show's been airing there for four weeks but some viewers have been understandably worried that the network won't air all episodes of the mystery series.
It turns out their fears weren't unwarranted. There are just four episodes left but that's plenty of time to mess with the schedule.

As expected, NBC has pulled their low-rated new series, Persons Unknown, from the Monday night line-up. Thankfully they haven't yanked it off the air completely. They're just moving it to the Saturday night graveyard.
Persons Unknown revolves around a group of strangers who awaken in a ghost town and are unable to leave. The cast includes Chadwick Boseman, Lee Purcell, Jason Wiles, Andy Greenfield, Daisy Betts, Tina Holmes, Alan Ruck, Kate Lang Johnson, Sean O’Bryan, and Gerald Kyd.
The TV show has been performing very poorly so July 5th will be its last Monday night airing. Beginning July 17th, it will show up on NBC's Saturday night schedule instead.
The Visa Gymnastics Championships will preempt the show on August 14th. Otherwise, it looks like Persons Unknown will run uninterrupted and conclude with episode 13 on September 4th. Producers have maintained that...

The peacock network recently premiered a new mystery series for the summer called Persons Unknown. Will the series last? Will viewers get answers to their questions or be left hanging?
Persons Unknown revolves around a group of strangers who wake up in a strange hotel and find that they're in a ghost town and unable to leave. They see security cameras observing them and their unknown captors create mistrust among the group by offering freedom if they hurt the others. The cast includes Chadwick Boseman, Lee Purcell, Jason Wiles, Andy Greenfield, Daisy Betts, Tina Holmes, Alan Ruck, Kate Lang Johnson, Sean O'Bryan, and Gerald Kyd.
The NBC mystery series debuted on June 7th to very disappointing ratings. The premiere attracted a poor 1.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic and just 4.38 million viewers. That represents a distant third place for the timeslot and is...

A new episode of NBC's summer mini-series, Persons Unknown, will be airing on June 21 and we have a promo and a short synopsis for you below.
Michael also posted a recap for last night's episode (which you can read here). Are you all liking the show? It's pretty cool. I love a good murder mystery, especially one that plans on revealing the answers shortly (unlike say…Lost…ahem).
A Chance To Escape Leads To Toxic Feelings
After a week of escape attempts end in failure, tension begins to grow within the group. When a helicopter appears above the hostages, they are hopeful that help has arrived, but the craft only hovers long enough to drop a mysterious box. Meanwhile, San Francisco reporter Renbe (Gerald Kyd) puts himself back on the case of Janet’s (Daisy Betts) disappearance, despite warnings to stop his investigation.
Also starring are Alan Ruck, Jason Wiles,...

It may not have premiered to big ratings, but I really liked the pilot episode of Persons Unknown last night (read Michael's review here). The atmosphere of the show is tense, the characters are intriguing and the plot is mysterious enough to keep my attention. I can't wait to see the whole thing play out.
A new episode will be airing on June 14 and NBC has released a short promo and a synopsis for the episode.
Attempts To Escape
While the group attempts to understand why they were kidnapped, Moira (Tina Holmes) painfully removes the implant device that has been embedded in each person's thigh. Elsewhere, trying to escape back to their normal lives, Joe (Jason Wiles) and McNair (Chadwick Boseman) carefully test the limits of the invisible fence.
Meanwhile, back in San Francisco, curious reporter Renbe’s (Gerald Kyd) search for information on missing mom Janet (Daisy Betts) hits a dead end.

Chicago – Written by the man who gave the world Keyser Soze in his Oscar-winning script for “The Usual Suspects,” NBC’s “Persons Unknown” is a summer mystery mini-series not unlike last year’s “Harper’s Island” or a mini-“Lost” in that the team behind it want people talking about the questions of the show over summer barbecues. NBC is in such dire straits and the show is just flawed enough that it’s hard to believe that “Persons Unknown” will become a phenomenon but it is likely to be a satisfying cult hit for those who seek it out.
Television Rating: 3.5/5.0
It’s very difficult to judge a mystery series on the basis of one episode, but the set-up for “Persons Unknown” is undeniably intriguing. A small group of seemingly very different people wake up in an old-fashioned hotel. They have no memory of how they got there and...

NBC is pulling a sort of CBS this summer with its new mini-series "Persons Unknown". Last year CBS aired the 13 episode "Harper's Island", which I actually liked and now NBC will be filling up the summer with a 13 episode mini-season about a group of people who are all being held hostage in a deserted town. Persons Unknown is set to premiere on June 7 at 10:00 p.m. Est.
NBC has released a promo for this new mini-series, which we have for you below, along with a short description about the show.

Here are some television tidbits we think you’ll find interesting:
Fox TV Studios is moving ahead with Persons Unknown, having filled out its cast with Jason Wiles, Daisy Betts, Tina Holmes, Sean O'Bryan as Blackham, Lola Glaudini joining the previously announced Alan Ruck, Chadwick Boseman, Gerald Kyd and Kate Lang Johnson. The pilot will be directed by Michael Rymer (Battlestar Galactica) and the series has a 13 episode order. The series is an unusual co-production with Mexico's Televisa and Italy's Rai which explains why the pilot will be shot in Mexico City starting on Monday. The premise may sound familiar as the cast, virtual strangers to one another, wake up in the middle of nowhere and have to figure out how they got there and why. Speaking of Battlestar, as reported previously, Mary McDonnell makes her Grey's Anatomy debut on the November 13 episode. She’ll be playing a doctor named Virginia Dixon,...
