5 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, September 5, 2014 By Andrew Warren TV Media Welcome, stranger: One of Syfy's most popular shows is coming back for a fifth sea- son, and it's adding a Canadi- an sci-fi favorite to its already extensive cast. "Haven" may look like a crime drama on the surface, but peel back that outer layer and you'll find it seething with the supernatural. Over its four seasons, it has built a sizeable and loyal fan base, and the addition of Laura Mennell to the cast is just one more rea- son to love it. Season 5 premieres on Thursday, Sept. 11, on Syfy in the U.S., and it's set to pick up right where last season's dra- matic cliffhanger left off. Mennell may be a Canadian actress, but she'll be no stranger to American audienc- es. She starred in another Syfy drama, "Alphas," back in 2011 and 2012, and she had a re- curring role in "Motive" on ABC. She played one of the tit- ular haunts in 2001's hit film "Thir13en Ghosts," and popped up in 2009's dark su- per hero flick "Watchmen." "Haven" fans won't want to miss season 5's premiere Thursday, Sept. 11, on Syfy. The golden touch: Every- thing the legendary Midas touched turned into gold, and it sometimes seems like exec- utive producer Shonda Rhimes has the same power. Unlike the tragic king of folk- lore, Rhimes' golden touch is a good thing. The "Grey's Anatomy" cre- ator has her finger in yet an- other pie with her latest project, "How to Get Away With Murder," coming to ABC this fall, with a premiere set for Thursday, Sept. 25. Lined up to headline the new drama is stage and screen ac- tress Viola Davis. Davis has starred in many Hollywood hits, including "Solaris" (2002), "The Help" (2011), "Traffic" (2000), "Disturbia" (2007) and "Eat Pray Love" (2010). For her first starring role on TV, she'll be playing a criminal defense professor who gets mixed up in a mur- der plot that has the potential to entangle her students and even drag in the entire univer- sity. "How to Get Away With Murder" hasn't even started to air yet, but it's already lined up its first guest star. Alysia Reiner has been a recurring character in the Netflix hit "Orange Is the New Black," and she'll be recurring here, too. Other actors set to star in the legal thriller include Char- lie Weber ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), Billy Brown ("Hos- tages"), Alfred Enoch ("Harry Potter and the Chamber of Se- crets," 2002), Jack Falahee ("Twisted") and Katie Findlay ("The Carrie Diaries"). "How to Get Away With Murder" joins two other Rhimes hits on ABC. "Grey's Anatomy" is still going strong since 2005, and "Scandal" is a political thriller with a twist. If the executive producer's gold- en touch holds true, "Murder" may well be her next big hit. Shonda Rhimes fans won't want to miss the premiere of "How to Get Away with Mur- der" airing Thursday, Sept. 25, on ABC.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Jimmy Fallon Well, our friend, former congressman Anthony Weiner, is back. I heard that he's opening a new restaurant that will specialize in healthy, local food. People say the food is fine, but the portions look much bigger in the photos. Yeah, Anthony Weiner is opening a new restaurant. In fact, it's the first restaurant with a sign on the door that reads "No shoes, no shirt, no pants, no underwear, no hats ... " It just keeps going. late laughs Eastern Travel 3 x 5 Emily Rose and Lucas Bryant star in "Haven"
