Adapted from Erik Axl Sund’s bestselling nordic novel, the six-episode gritty psychological crime thriller, The Crow Girl, premieres today on Acorn TV. The series, which was created, written, and executive produced by Milly Thomas, stars Eve Myles as DCI Jeanette Kilburn. When bodies of young men start turning up, it’s up to Kilburn and her partner, DI Lou Stanley (Dougray Scott) to find the killer. When they discover the body of a missing child, the investigation soon has her crossing paths with psychotherapist Dr. Sophia Craven (Katherine Kelly) and searching for her missing patient Victoria (Clara Rugaard) that may somehow be involved.

Last week, SciFi Vision spoke with Myles not only about working on the dark mystery crime series, preparing for and connecting with the role and more, but also a bit about working on the Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood, what her dream role would be, and more.

The first episode of The Crow Girl is now available to stream on Acorn TV, and new episodes will be available each week.

The newest spin-off of the globally successful series in the NCIS franchise, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, premieres today on Paramount+. When we last left the duo, Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) was seemingly killed, and Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) discovered they had a daughter, Tali (Isla Gie). It was later revealed that Ziva faked her death to protect Tony and Tali, and the three were reunited. The story picks up in the new series, and Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter together. But when Tony’s security company comes under attack, they find themselves on the run from both the criminals and Interpol through Europe in search of answers. As they fight to survive and expose who is is behind the cyber attacks, they must learn to trust each other again, perhaps even paving the way for their own unconventional happily ever after.

Recently, stars Weatherly and de Pablo spoke with SciFi Vision about the new series, what it was like stepping back into their characters, whether or not they expected to come back, Tony and Ziva's relationship, what they are excited for fans to see, and more.

Last night, MGM+ aired the season finale of the series The Institute, which is based on the Stephen King novel. The series follows a group of teens with either telekinesis or telepathy, who are kidnapped out of their homes and brought to the mysterious facility of The Institute where they are experimented on and psychologically tortured in order to strengthen their powers.

In the season finale, four of the teens, Luke (Joe Freeman), Nicky (Fionn Laird), Kalisha (Simone Miller), and George (Arlen So) escaped, and The Institute was brought, literally, to the ground. However, it was revealed through the course of the episode that there are other facilities around the world, leaving it open for the story to continue.

The series was already announced to be renewed for a second season. Last week, SciFi Vision spoke with executive producer and director Jack Bender about what that second season could look like, what it’s been like working with King on the project, how he feels about fans of his series FROM looking for clues in The Institute, whether he’d choose TP, TK, or PC for himself, if he has any of his personal artwork in the show, and more.

Tonight, the season finale of The Institute aired on MGM Plus. The series, which has already been renewed for a season two, was adapted from the Stephen King novel of the save name. The series follows Luke Ellis (Joe Freeman), a teen prodigy with telekinesis who is kidnapped from his home and awakens at a mysterious facility known as The Institute, where he meets other children and teens with psychic powers, either telekinesis or telepathy, who are experimented on and psychologically tortured to increase their power. Among his allies are Nicky (Fionn Laird) and Kalisha (Simone Miller), who along with Luke and Avery (Viggo Hanvelt) hatch a plan to try to escape.

In the season finale, while Luke has escaped to the outside, he goes back to The Institute to save his friends. The kids connect telepathically with children from other institutes from across the world and are able to get the steel door open. While Luke, Nicky, and Kalisha are able to escape through the tunnels and grab George (Arlen So) on the way out, Avery stays behind with the others to keep open the connection to the other Institutes.

Fans have waited two long years, but at last, the aliens are back! Invasion returns to AppleTV+ on Friday, August 22, for its third season.

Onscreen, it has also been two years since Trevante (Shamier Anderson, Wynonna Earp, John Wick: Chapter 4) and Caspar (Billy Barratt, Responsible Child) brought down the alien mothership. As the season opens, life on Earth has almost returned to normal and the aliens are no longer a threat – or so it seems.

We asked Invasion’s showrunner, Oscar and Emmy nominee Simon Kinberg, how the big time jump changes the story. With just a few minutes to chat, Kinberg also spoke about the tremendous loss and trauma the characters are carrying as they try to move on.

Throughout the conversation, Kinberg promised plenty of action but also hinted at mystery, connection and love.

The third season on Invasion premieres on AppleTV+ tomorrow, with one episode, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday through October 24.

The Institute, adapted from Stephen King’s 2019 novel, airs every Sunday on MGM+. The series follows a group of children imprisoned in a secret facility where they are subjected to disturbing experiments because of their supernatural abilities. Among them is Nicky, a rebellious teen whose rough edges conceal a vulnerability and longing for family. Actor Fionn Laird, who plays the character, recently spoke with SciFi Vision about his journey with the role and how he connected to the series.

Laird explained that his audition came at a hectic time in his life. “It actually happened kind of at a little bit of a chaotic moment in my life. I was traveling. I was taking the train to visit my mom in Ottawa. I live in Toronto, and on the train, I got this tape, and...I did bring my ring light to do those auditions, but I wasn’t really expecting anything to come through, because I was only there for two days.” Although he hadn’t expected much, he sent in the audition and was thrilled to receive a callback. “I love Stephen King. Jack Bender was obviously the showrunner, and I've watched Lost, and I've even heard about From, and he's worked on Game of Thrones, The Sopranos. I’m like, ‘This is a really cool project.’”

What drew him most to Nicky was how different the character was from roles he had played before. “I’ve always been, I played a lot of like kind of goody-two-shoes roles in my past, and Nicky’s just so far on the opposite side of the spectrum from that,” he said, adding that it was exciting to embody someone with such confidence and self-assuredness. “It was just the prospect of doing something so unfamiliar and unexpected, I think, was a lot of fun for me.”

Revival, which is based on the comic series of the same name by Mike Norton and Tim Seeley, aired it’s season one finale last night on Syfy. One day in a small town in Wisconsin, the dead rise from their graves, appearing unchanged. However, as the season progresses, fear and hatred grows for the revivers who are different than everyone else, and they are placed in camps and experimented on. Finally, however, they escape, all except for Em Cypress (Romy Weltman), who is lured away by Tyler (Luca Villacis), one of Blaine (Steven Ogg)’s disciples. Blaine believes the return of revivers is not a miracle, but rather demons rising from their graves who need to be sent back to hell. Can Em’s sister Dana (Melanie Scrofano) not only save Em before she’s killed for good, but figure out who originally murdered her sister?

Earlier in the week, showrunners Luke Boyce and Aaron B. Koontz spoke with SciFi Vision about the season finale and how they changed the original ending, if there is any news on season two, and where the story is headed, as well as answered a bunch of lingering questions, such as, why Em’s passenger is purple, why she didn’t tell Dana she was alive, if pregnancy is part of Em’s story, if we will ever see Brendt’s twin, Brandt (Mark Little), and more.

Based on the Dark Horse comics, last night Syfy premiered the final episode of its comedy series Resident Alien. In the final episode, most of the series' plot lines were wrapped up with Harry (Alan Tudyk), deciding to leave Earth for good in order to be with his girlfriend, Heather (Edi Patterson), and their children. His good friend Asta (Sara Tomko) has decided to leave and join a program where she helps people with her nursing skills. D'arcy (Alice Wetterlund) is on the road to sobriety and determined to help a younger skier with similar problems. Kate (Meredith Garretson) has decided to go back to law school. She and Ben (Levi Fiehler) are closer now than ever before.  Sheriff Mike (Corey Reynolds) and Deputy Liv (Elizabeth Bowen) are joining the secret government group that tracks down aliens.  First, though, the gang has to deal with the new alien in town, who's taken over the body of Dr. Ethan Stone (Michael Cassidy) in order to complete Harry's original mission to kill everyone on earth. Can they convince him that the Earth is worth saving?

Thursday, Chris Sheridan, the showrunner and executive producer of the series spoke with SciFi Vision and answered a few questions about the end of the series.

The science fiction horror comedy flick from director Joseph Kahn, Ick, comes to theaters everywhere starting Sunday. For almost twenty years, a tentacle-like organism known simply as “The Ick” has been gradually creeping into the lives of those in the small down of Eastbrook who have become apathetic and complacent to its presence. The exception is Hank Wallace (Brandon Routh), whose promising football career ended after being injured by The Ick, which led to his dream girl Staci (Mena Suvari) leaving him. Now, two decades later, Hank is an unfulfilled science teacher struggling with disappointment and alcoholism. As the alien Ick starts slowly spreading and infecting the townspeople, Hank must join forces with Staci’s daughter Grace (Malinda Pauli Weissman), who he strongly suspects to be his own daughter. Together, they confront the escalating crisis as the creature possesses and mutates the residents of the town.

Stars Routh and Suvari spoke with SciFi Vision earlier in the week about working on the unique film, which is now in select cities, with a nationwide release via Fathom on 7/27.

Back to the Frontier, the new reality series by Chip and Joanna Gaines from the Magnolia Network, follows three families – the Lopers, Hanna-Riggs, and Halls – as they live as 1880s homesteaders for eight weeks, abandoning modern conveniences. The families must repair shelters, grow and gather crops, prepare food, and raise livestock, all without running water, electricity or other contemporary tools, relying instead on period-accurate equipment and instruction from historical advisors. Their daily routines will force them to deal with the obstacles of an authentic frontier lifestyle like that of the 1880s.

Lina and Jereme Hall and their daughter Mia spoke with SciFi Vision recently about going back to the frontier and the challenges they faced.
