Get 'Bitten': Ask someone what comes to mind when they think about werewolves, and they'll conjure up images of oily fur, moon-lit transformations, razor sharp teeth and maybe a Twilight-inspired, muscled young man. What doesn't typically come up is a beautiful young woman who just wants to settle down and live a quiet life in Toronto.

Q: Now that "Breaking Bad" has ended, is Bryan Cranston planning to do another TV show?

Longtime TV star Bryan Cranston (his first credited role was on "CHiPs," if anyone remembers back that far) has always dabbled in film while earning his bread and butter on the small screen. However it seems (for now, at least) that he's taking this opportunity to focus on the big one.

The film side of his career has heated up lately with critically acclaimed turns in such hits as "Argo" (2012) and "Drive" (2011), and it will continue with a number of upcoming roles.

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, on ABC

Sophie Lowe stars as Lewis Carroll's Alice in this new adaptation of the fantasy story. When young Alice tells of a magical land, doctors plan to "cure" her by helping her forget Wonderland, but the White Rabbit (John Lithgow) helps save her.
