Whispers in the dark: 'The Walking Dead' returns with new foes
Norman Reedus stars in "The Walking Dead"
Q: I just finished watching the fifth season of "Longmire" and I'm wondering if there are going to be any more episodes.
For you, yes, but not many.
The good news, strangely, is that you're behind. The sixth season of "Longmire" has been available on Netflix since November 2017 (Netflix generally posts its shows one full season at a time).
The bad news is that six is it. The streaming service announced in advance of the new release that it would be the "final chapter" of the western drama.
Chicago Med, on NBC
As the head of the hospital’s psychiatry department, Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) helps not only the patients, but also his fellow doctors as they grapple with the pressures of a career in medicine. Meanwhile, his colleagues work in the city's top trauma center.
The Gifted, on Fox
Mutants continue to fight for their rights as anti-mutant sentiment rises in the new season of this drama. Set in Marvel’s X-Men universe, this season of the show introduces ruthless mutant leader Reeva Payge (Grace Byers), who can emit powerful sonic blasts.
Long, dark road: 'Supernatural' celebrates its 300th episode
Jensen Ackles stars in "Supernatural"
Q: Is "Dr. Jeff: Rocky Mountain Vet" returning soon? He and his staff are such caring people.
If you're going to make it through the current off-season, you're going to have to make like Dr. Jeff himself and have patients. (Get it? You kind of have to say it out loud.)
There's been no word of a sixth season yet, and in fact it is technically overdue, though the show has never stuck to a schedule like most do.
Bull, on CBS
Dr. Jason Bull (Michael Weatherly) relies on his knowledge of human behavior as he works with legal teams to help them win cases in this acclaimed drama. His trial consulting team also includes neurolinguistics expert Marissa Morgan (Geneva Carr).
Q: Is it true they're planning to do a reboot of "The Office"?
It depends a little on which "they" you mean, but it doesn't look like anyone has a plan. So the best answer at the moment is no. And if that sounds like a wishy-washy sort of answer, that's because that's the trend at the moment.
People have been talking about bringing back "The Office" almost since it ended in 2013, but the talk has heated up a bit with a couple of recent events.
New Releases for the week of Feb. 3 - 9
The Girl in the Spider's Web
Vigilante and hacker Lisbeth Salander (Foy) has made it her personal mission to hunt down men who hurt women, but when she takes a job to retrieve a computer program capable of accessing all of the world's nuclear codes, she finds that she may have bitten off more than she can chew. After a group of mercenaries steals the program from her, she contacts her former lover, Mikael (Gudnason), for help. He identifies her assailants as members of a crime syndicate called "The Spiders," which has a disturbing connection to Lisbeth's long-buried past.
