<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first season of The Institute followed Luke, a young teenager with special powers who is trapped inside the institute with a dark secret. With help from the other powered children, they used their powers of telekinesis and telepathy to destroy the institution, with only a few being able to escape.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the second season, Luke and the few surviving kids are being hunted, but they have help from Tim Jamieson, an ex-cop played by Ben Barnes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I think in the end, you want to be somebody that people are rooting for,&#8221; Barnes tells Nerd Reactor. &#8220;And I think in my life I&#8217;m deeply concerned with being a good man and doing the right thing. I was ready after a few years of not playing that. I was like, really ready to express it, and then I read this book. The Tim character made his mistakes and is carrying a lot of baggage with him, but he is very preoccupied with doing the right thing and trying to put some good into the world. And so I feel like this is my opportunity to kind of wave that flag.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The few kids who survived the aftermath of the first season include Kalisha (Simone Miller), Nick (Fionn Laird), and George (Arlen So). The second season starts with the teenagers being free from the institute and laying low from authorities looking for them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I think this season we get to see her fight a bit,&#8221; Miller says of her character, Kalisha. &#8220;She&#8217;s got a little bite, and she is going against the grain of Luke and fighting for what she believes in. I think this season has been a really big treat in that sense, getting to see Kalisha expand, not just to this empathetic altruistic figure, which she still is, but also somebody who holds true to what she believes in.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I think season two is really just a big coming of age for [George] and a big realization that things are hard, things are going to be different,&#8221; So explains. &#8220;It&#8217;s really interesting to explore how his character works with that and then everyone because we&#8217;re all in a similar boat. We&#8217;re all out just drifting and free-floating in this dangerous environment.&#8221;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stick Season 2 premieres today on Apple TV, and Owen Wilson returns as Pryce Cahill, aka &#8220;the Stick,&#8221; a former professional golfer returning to the game after a long hiatus. The new season has him wondering what it would be like to go pro again after helping Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager), a young, very talented golfer.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe title="Owen Wilson Lost His Lines Staring at De Niro | Owen Wilson &amp; Rhea Seehorn on Stick Season 2" width="960" height="540" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qLVC2J5ODAk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Owen Wilson is known for playing smooth talkers, which includes his characters in <em>Stick, Shanghai Noon,</em> and <em>Wedding Crashers</em>. The actor talks about why these characters are fun to play.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;There&#8217;s sort of a fine line between charm and delusion,&#8221; Wilson explains to Nerd Reactor. &#8220;I do think that the best con men, they say, are incredibly susceptible to other con men. Because it&#8217;s really about selling hope, and just like a good actor, who&#8217;s going to be able to convince you? Someone who you get the feeling doesn&#8217;t really believe it, or someone who really does believe what they&#8217;re saying to you. That&#8217;s probably why it&#8217;s fun to play those kinds of characters.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rhea Seehorn (<em>Pluribus, Better Call Saul</em>) is known for playing characters who take no crap from anyone. In the second season of Stick, she definitely isn&#8217;t taking any crap from Pryce. The actress talks about how these characters usually have a vulnerable side but hide it with a tough exterior.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;That&#8217;s also a bit of an armor,&#8221; Seehorn says. &#8220;The person is hiding a vulnerability by acting so strong. Amanda is smart enough, and you see that they have a complicated dating history and knew each other as teenagers, and in my mind she would have to be somebody that was as quick-witted and could call him on his crap. Like those are usually the people we do get drawn to.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the second episode of the second season, John Higgins&#8217; character gives Santi a pep talk about not being &#8220;summer mayonnaise.&#8221; This puts a thought in Santi&#8217;s head to go big or go home, resulting in him wanting to go pro. Dager explains what &#8220;summer mayonnaise&#8221; means to him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Mayonnaise to me is living with regret,&#8221; Dager says. &#8220;You don&#8217;t want to live with regret. And especially when you&#8217;re young. I mean, it&#8217;s the time you have to really fall on your face and make a fool of yourself. And with kids and a wife or a partner, it&#8217;s a little bit more difficult to fail because the repercussions won&#8217;t only fall on you, but on your family. So I think he knows exactly what he&#8217;s saying when he tells Santi that because it lights a fire under Santi&#8217;s,, and it makes him want to really pursue his greatest ambitions and his big dreams.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Golf is the backdrop of the story of people getting their lives back on track, as audiences see with Pryce helping Santi, and Santi finally doing something with his skills. In the second season, Pryce is looking to enter the world of professional golf once again. Showrunner Jason Keller explains why the story is told through the world of golf.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;This is a story about these characters and people trying to stumble their way through life and connect with one another and be understood,&#8221; Keller says. &#8220;It&#8217;s a world in which certainly Pryce and Santi are forced to look at themselves in a very singular way. Golf doesn&#8217;t let you hide from the things that are bothering you or the things that are haunting you, or the things that you&#8217;re having difficulty with. So in that way, it&#8217;s just a perfect barometer for where you are psychologically, and that&#8217;s good for storytelling. It&#8217;s good for characters.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stick returns for its second season on Apple TV on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, with two episodes, followed by one episode weekly until December 30, 2026.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Stick Season 2</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Synopsis: <em>Stick</em> is a heartfelt, feel-good comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before. In season one, Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After the collapse of his marriage and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi (Dager).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In season two, Santi takes the next step in his pursuit of professional golf, only to discover how quickly the game changes when talent becomes expectation. As Santi chases his dream, Pryce Cahill finds himself wondering what might still be possible for him. Urged on by his former rival Clark Ross (Olyphant), Pryce does something nobody expects: he bets on himself, launching an improbable comeback in hopes of becoming the oldest golfer ever to win a major. But the road back proves far harder than he imagined. And the closer Pryce gets to the golfer he once was, the more he is forced to confront why he never fulfilled the promise everyone once saw in him. With brilliant new coach Amanda (Seehorn) and trusted caddie Mitts (Maron) in his corner, Pryce sets out to prove — to the golf world and, more importantly, to himself — that maybe he really was as good as everyone always said he was.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The series also stars Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay, Judy Greer and Timothy Olyphant. Joining the cast are John Higgins, Billy Zane, Rex Linn, Sasha Alexander and Missi Pyle.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">David Alan Grier is back as Dr. Ron in the third season of NBC&#8217;s medical mockumentary, <em>St. Denis Medical</em>, and this time he has a new rival, Damon Wayans as Dr. Highland. The two actors are known for their <em>In Living Color</em> sketches, especially with the Men on Film series, where they are like two peas in a pod talking about movies. In St. Denis Medical, Dr. Highland has taken over Dr. Ron&#8217;s position as the latter is recovering from heart surgery.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Grier has been performing for decades, and he has come to a point of being at ease with any material given to him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I&#8217;ve been doing it almost 50 years, you know, almost 50 years,&#8221; Grier tells Nerd Reactor about his acting career. &#8220;So what I mean is it&#8217;s allowed me to streamline my acting and creative process because a lot of things I worried about or stressed about as a young actor, I&#8217;m at peace with now. I can&#8217;t remember the last time I saw a scene or a scenario in a script where I went, &#8216;Oh, I don&#8217;t know how I&#8217;m going to get to this emotionally, or I have nothing to pull on. Yeah, I haven&#8217;t been through everything, but I&#8217;ve lived a long and wonderful life, and my instrument is good. It&#8217;s a well-dwelled machine, man.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Grier enjoys being a rival on the screen of St. Denis Medical, and when Wayans and Grier are off the screen, the two are having a laugh.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;It&#8217;s more fun to be at each other,&#8221; Grier says. &#8220;That&#8217;s always more fun to play a villain, you know, to have an enemy. Then we can kiki at dinner later, you know, past the Poupon. It was really fun reconnecting with Damon, and I wish we could have chopped it up more through our characters and more evil doings. But it was fun. It was fun on and off. And I&#8217;m glad and I was humbled and happy that as soon as the offer went out, before I could even text Damon, he texted me and said, &#8216;Of course I&#8217;ll do it. I can&#8217;t wait to see you. We should hang out.&#8217; And that was always really fun.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">St. Denis Medical Season 3 premieres today, November 2, 2026, at 8/7 c on NBC.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About St. Denis Medical</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Schreiber, known for playing Sabretooth in <em>X-Men Origins: Wolverine</em>, enjoyed the duality of the show.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;One of the things that I liked a lot about the writing in this and the development of the characters is there&#8217;s so much duality,&#8221; Schreiber tells Nerd Reactor. &#8220;The three central characters have some element of the other at play, and that was a fun thematic thing to work on.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With Jonah and Saga being important to each other, there are reservations about seeing the other pursue the case and deal with Jurek.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;In a way, it&#8217;s me wanting to prove myself,&#8221; Beetz says of her character. &#8220;We each have our own motivation coming from a similar pain. I also don&#8217;t want him to get hurt, and he doesn&#8217;t want me to get hurt. So we&#8217;re trying to both hold each other back while being insistent that we should be the ones to pursue this case. And yeah, it&#8217;s like tension coming from love.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nocturne premieres on Apple TV on October 30, 2026, with two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday through December 25, 2026.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Nocturne</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Synopsis: Nocturne tells the story of Jonah Lynn (Schreiber), an ex-soldier turned homicide detective who, tired of working the tough streets of Philadelphia, moves to a small town in Western Pennsylvania for a quiet life. But as the town and his family come under attack from the diabolically cunning serial killer Jurek Walter (Graham), Jonah must protect all that he holds dear.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ahead of the Season 3 premiere of NBC sitcom Happy’s Place, I spoke to Melissa Peterman, Belissa Escobedo, Rex Linn, Pablo Castelblanco, and Tokala Black Elk for an exclusive junket conversation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The show stars Reba McEntire as Bobbie, the owner of a tavern in Knoxville, Tennessee that she inherited from her late father, only to find out she has to share ownership with Isabella (Escobedo), the half-sister she never knew about. With a colorful crew of colleagues and friends, the sisters learn to work together and grow the business into a truly even happier place.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Happy&amp;apos;s Place Season 3 Cast on Their Chemistry, Bloopers &amp; Melissa Peterman&amp;apos;s Ad-Libs" width="960" height="540" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l-Ro7ASOz5E?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reflecting on the transformation Isabella has gone through since arriving at Happy’s Place, Escobedo says, “She’s finally accepting of Bobbie’s love for her. We’ve seen her searching for everyone’s validation and acceptance at the tavern, and she didn’t have to try so hard, because the family was already there. It was kismet. So now we see her really confident, getting to chill out a bit, get excited about other things, and figure out her new path in life with this family.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bartender Gabby, played by McEntire’s longtime friend and collaborator Peterman, steals the show constantly with her effortless comedic ad-libs and wacky brand of charm. We talked about what it’s like for the duo now after working together for so many years. “As actors and as people, you’re always surprising each other,” said Peterman. “She still makes me laugh. She still makes choices that I didn’t see coming. But there’s a comfort where I know whatever I throw, she’s going to hit it right back.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tavern cook Emmett, played by McEntire’s real-life fiancé, Linn, can’t speak highly enough about the cast as a whole and the vibes on set. “There’s a lot of kindness on this set,” said Linn. “It starts at the top with Reba, and it truly is a happy place. That makes us all smile, and we don’t take it for granted.” He also teases some upcoming shenanigans with guest star James Denton, which I personally can’t wait to see.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also setting the show apart is the fact that they film in front of a live studio audience, extremely rare for today’s sitcoms. “I call the audience the other cast member, or the ultimate producer,” said Castelblanco. “They’re a living part of it. Some scenes will come alive just because they now have an audience, and it’s magical.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Happy’s Place Season 3 premieres on Friday, October 23rd on NBC, and will also be streaming on Peacock.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chandler Riggs, known for portraying Carl Grimes in AMC&#8217;s The Walking Dead, is comfortable with the horror genre. The actor decided to make his own Resident Evil fan film, which captures the beginning of Resident Evil 7, an entry that helped reenergize the video game franchise.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He wore many hats, including directing, writing, and portraying Ethan Winters, and he was able to bring in a crew that was passionate about the project. Instead of the first-person view, the short film is captured in third person, and Riggs was hoping that fans would be forgiving. Now that the fan project is out, it has received over 2.6 million views as of this writing, with many praising how it captured Resident Evil 7.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Chandler Riggs on His Resident Evil 7 Fan Film, Walking Dead &amp; Carl&amp;apos;s Legacy" width="960" height="540" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/S8QCnoiOayY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Riggs was worried about his fan film getting removed by Capcom to the point where he had his crew sign NDAs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;And we had to keep it really on the down low, in general, that it was Resident Evil because I didn&#8217;t want to get a cease and desist from Capcom,&#8221; Riggs tells Nerd Reactor. &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen other fan projects get shut down and from other people, not from Capcom, not from Resident Evil, but just in general. So I was like, &#8216;Okay, let&#8217;s avoid anything.&#8217; So I&#8217;m not even going to tell these people that it&#8217;s RE until I&#8217;m with them and can tell them. And if they&#8217;re down, then sign an NDA.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The actor was a fan of Resident Evil since he first played Resident Evil 4, which featured the return of Leon S. Kennedy. Resident Evil 7 was the one that spoke to him the most.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I really didn&#8217;t feel like I was like an RE fan until Resident Evil 7,&#8221; Riggs said. &#8220;And so that was kind of a big part of why I truly feel like it&#8217;s one of the best games, at least horror-wise. It reinvented the wheel, a Hail Mary of a game to just, like, ‘All right. Let&#8217;s change up the formula. Let&#8217;s try something new and try it out and hope that it works. And it definitely paid off for them.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Riggs is known to many as Carl Grimes, who was in The Walking Dead show for 8 seasons. To this day, his death is still a sad moment for fans.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;You watched this kid grow up,&#8221; Riggs said. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s one thing to just have a character that you have just watched for a long period of time get killed off. It&#8217;s another thing to watch them grow and progress and go from being a kid to being a teenager to then almost being an adult and then that being it for them. It&#8217;s hard not to get attached to a character like that, even if you didn&#8217;t like him in the earlier seasons because of XYZ.&#8221;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tulsa King Season 4 is trying to tear everything down for Dwight Manfredi, as his growing empire is under pressure as corrupt politicians and mobsters threaten the businesses he has worked hard to build. The new season also gives Dwight&#8217;s crew new challenges, from Mitch&#8217;s horse-racing venture to Tyson&#8217;s involvement in the music industry.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nerd Reactor spoke with Neal McDonough (<em>Band of Brothers</em>), Frank Grillo (<em>Captain America: The Winter Soldier</em>), Garrett Hedlund (<em>Tron: Legacy</em>), Martin Starr (<em>Spider-Man: No Way Home</em>) and Jay Will (<em>Rob Peace</em>) about their characters&#8217; storylines in Season 4.</p>

<iframe loading="lazy" title="Neal McDonough on Tulsa King Season 4 and 25 Years of Band of Brothers" width="960" height="540" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UIC6si4Z5Lg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Frank Grillo on Bill Bevelacqua&#8217;s Business with Dwight</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Frank Grillo returns as Bill Bevelacqua, a rival mob boss whose business interests sometimes align with Dwight&#8217;s. Grillo explains that Bill sees Dwight&#8217;s ability to make money and the continued opportunity to work together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I think Bill’s always thinking about money,&#8221; Grillo tells Nerd Reactor. &#8220;I think he sees Dwight as a great earner. He knows Dwight knows how to make money, he’s got great ideas, and he knows how to execute them, and he’s not afraid.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Garrett Hedlund on Mitch&#8217;s New Chapter</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Garrett Hedlund is back as Mitch, who gets involved in horse racing this season while Dwight is dealing with a new threat of his empire falling. Hedlund says the new season pushes Mitch into a different chapter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;This one for season four, we&#8217;re dealing with the government trying to take away our land, our casino, our bar, our weed shop, and so that&#8217;s a whole new adventure in this one,&#8221; Hedlund said. &#8220;But yeah, I think audiences are going to get to see something out of Mitch that was a little different from last year. Last year was a little bit of relationship from a blast from a past on them. This season&#8217;s a rebirth in certain senses.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jay will on Tyson&#8217;s Hip-Hop Venture</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jay Will returns as Tyson, whose journey into the hip hop industry has been building up since previous seasons. Will helps to shape the music featured in the series, getting to channel his songwriting and rapping experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I think the mutual respect of everybody with production, studio, actors, Sly, me, everybody was totally in for it,&#8221; Will said of getting to showcase his rapping. &#8220;And I&#8217;m just grateful they trusted me. I&#8217;m honestly surprised, because I really didn&#8217;t expect this, the music venture, but it really turned out to be a beautiful hybrid you never would expect.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Martin Starr on Bodhi&#8217;s Deepened Relationship with Dwight</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Martin Starr returns as Bodhi, whose relationship with Dwight continues to deepen in Season 4. Starr appreciates the opportunity to explore his character&#8217;s emotional side while working with Sylvester Stallone. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;They keep letting us dive into a deeper relationship,&#8221; Starr said. &#8220;I&#8217;m lucky that I get to share those moments with him. He&#8217;s such a giving performer, and it&#8217;s fun to get to work with and collaborate with someone as talented as Sly.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Neal McDonough on Cal Thresher as the Governor</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first episode of the fourth season will shock those watching Cal Thresher&#8217;s arc from a businessman to the governor. McDonough is back as Cal, and he believes that his character wants what&#8217;s best for the state of Oklahoma.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I think he becomes the governor for altruistic reasons,&#8221; McDonough explained. &#8220;He’s not there just for the power of it. He’s there because he thinks he can actually help his state that he loves so much and protect not just his assets, but protect the state.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Tulsa King</em> Season 4 premiered on October 16 on Paramount+. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Tulsa King</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Synopsis: In Season Four, Dwight (Stallone) fights to legitimize his empire and protect his crew as corrupt politicians, dangerous new enemies, and a crushing personal loss hit from every direction. However, every hard-won gain comes with even harder truths: about loyalty, leadership and the cost of ambition. Each move drags Dwight deeper into the street instincts he left behind in New York – turning Tulsa into a battleground and Dwight into the one threat no one can afford to underestimate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition to Stallone, Tulsa King Season Four stars Martin Starr, Jay Will, Vincent Piazza, Annabella Sciorra, Chris Caldovino, McKenna Quigley Harrington, Frank Grillo, Mike &#8220;Cash Flo&#8221; Walden, James Russo, Kevin Pollak, Neal McDonough, with Garrett Hedlund and Dana Delany. Gretchen Mol also joins the cast for Season 4 as a series regular.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Terence Winter is head writer and executive producer. Tulsa King is also executive produced by Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan, Sylvester Stallone, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Thomas Kelly, and Keith Cox.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The series is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I think Charming is one of those where you think you have a number on him, who he is, and then he does something different,&#8221; Salim tells Nerd Reactor. &#8220;And you&#8217;re like, &#8216;Oh man! I really don&#8217;t know this guy,&#8217; And I think it&#8217;s because he doesn&#8217;t know himself either. And I think that&#8217;s what we really are exploring in season two is his identity crisis of who he is.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Puck, the Prankster</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Puck is the prankster of the bunch in The Sisters Grimm, and he&#8217;s voiced by Billy Harris. The actor talks about channeling his inner Puck on the set of Ted Lasso, where he plays Colin Hughes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;We were housed in this building, so we didn&#8217;t have trailers,&#8221; Harris said. &#8220;We had these little rooms, and we would always, if, let&#8217;s say, Toheeb or Kola or Phil left their rooms, we would just go in there and completely turn everything over. And when I mean over, like the table would be on the couch, their lunch would be on top of the lighting thing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;And then when they came in, it was like something Puck would do, and it was. But we did it so many times that we were just used to it. We just were so numb to the feeling of &#8216;Oh yeah, someone just came into my room and just moved it all around.&#8217; And then you slowly and surely put it all back together and then you eat your lunch.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Relda Grimm, the Grandmother</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Laraine Newman voices Relda Grimm, the grandmother of Sabrina and Daphne and the new caretaker after their parents&#8217; disappearance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I&#8217;ve done a lot of shows where I get to do dialects, never gotten to do a German dialect, so this is different,&#8221; Newman said. &#8220;And I really love doing it.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About The Sisters Grimm</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Based on Michael Buckley’s New York Times bestselling book series, “The Sisters Grimm” is a journey of adventure and heart about sleuth-solving sisters descended from the Brothers Grimm who, while very different, make a pretty great team.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Outlander: Blood of My Blood</em> is back, with season 2 having debuted on September 18th on <a href="https://www.starz.com/us/en/series/outlander-blood-of-my-blood/69342">Starz</a>. The prequel series to <em>Outlander</em> follows the parents of Claire Beauchamp and Jamie Fraser. At the end of <em>Outlander: Blood of My Blood</em>&#8216;s first season, audiences were left hanging as to whether Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine), Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and their child were able to time-travel back from 18th century Scotland to the 20th century.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the first episode of the second season, only Henry was able to go back to the future. However, it was further into the future, and he is now seen as a crazy person. As a result, the family has been separated once again, leaving this viewer feeling tortured after seeing the family reunite at the end of the first season.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;It&#8217;s torture for us as well, trust me,&#8221; Corfield tells Nerd Reactor during a roundtable interview. &#8220;We want to go on a holiday. We want our characters to have a lovely holiday. Um no. Look, we have both had some really great stuff in this season &#8211; in the first season and this season too. Particularly because we find ourselves at rock bottom in season two. So it&#8217;s really about us clawing our way back and trying to renegotiate and recalibrate a way to find our way back to our family. They&#8217;re interesting scenes to play, and I hope that the audience is on the journey with us because I enjoy doing them.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;We want them to get back together too,&#8221; Irvine added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Simple answer. That would be really nice,&#8221; Corfield concluded.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Outlander: Blood of My Blood</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the second season of “Outlander: Blood of my Blood,” the two young couples will be tested and separated once again by forces beyond their control. Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie’s (Harriet Slater) forbidden love seemed to conquer all odds, but as the 1715 Jacobite Rising thrusts clans into war, the two must prioritize their clan loyalties over each other as Brian fulfills his obligation to fight and Ellen seeks to make things right with her family. Meanwhile, Henry (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia Beauchamp (Hermione Corfield) are finally reunited after their accidental journey back in time left them lost and separated, ready to return back to their time and their daughter, Claire. When unexpected circumstances separate the couple once again, Henry must grapple with his mental health as he fights to find his way back to Julia, who must return to Leathers and contend with Lord Lovat (Tony Curran).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matthew B. Roberts serves as the showrunner for both “Outlander” and “Outlander: Blood of my Blood.” Roberts, alongside Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Luke Schelhaas, Michael Wilson, Jim Kohlberg and Luke Parker Bowles serve as executive producers. “Outlander: Blood of my Blood” is produced by Sony Pictures Television. “Outlander: Blood of my Blood” builds upon the world of the long-running hit series “Outlander,” based on Diana Gabaldon’s international best-selling books which have sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide.</p>
