August 19 - 25, 2018 WHATS UP! T5 BY ANDREW WARREN TV Media The plot thickens: The mur- ders, mysteries and plots aren't going anywhere any time soon. ABC's hit drama "How to Get Away with Murder" returns for a fifth season on Thursday, Sept. 27, and it's added two new series regulars to its lineup in anticipa- tion of the season premiere. Amirah Vann ("Under- ground") will be familiar to "Murder" fans: she recurred throughout last season as lawyer Tegan Price, who had an antago- nistic relationship with Viola Davis' ("Suicide Squad," 2016) Annalise Keating. Her promo- tion to series regular means that we'll be seeing a lot more of Tegan in the upcoming season, but whether her relationship with Annalise has warmed up at all remains to be seen. Acclaimed Oscar-winning actor Timothy Hutton ("Lever- age") has also joined the cast in a role that's so far been kept un- der wraps. His performance in "Ordinary People" (1980) earned him a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award, and more recently he's starred in "American Crime" on ABC. He brings an added dose of cachet to an already top-notch cast that includes NAACP Image Award-nominated Aja Naomi King ("Emily Owens M.D."), Billy Brown ("Sons of Anar- chy"), Jack Falahee ("Twisted") and Charlie Weber ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"). "How to Get Away with Mur- der" has been a darling with both critics and audiences and has received awards and nomi- nations to match. Davis has won an Emmy, a People's Choice Award, two Screen Ac- tors Guild Awards and an NAACP Image Award for her performance, and the drama has more than two dozen fur- ther nominations under its belt for itself and its stars. Murder is thriving on ABC, and "How to Get Away with Murder" is adding to its already incredible cast in the lead-up to its fifth season. Catch Amirah Vann and Timothy Hutton when the drama returns Thurs- day, Sept. 27. Last bite: All good things must come to an end. So, too, it seems, must bad things. When TV movie "Sharknado" pre- miered on Syfy back in 2013, its over-the-top premise of torna- does that had picked up man- eating sharks and plunked them down in busy Los Angeles drew in massive audiences looking for a fairly mindless good time, and "Sharknado" de- livered that in spades. Since then, the sequels have come out like clockwork every summer, with each one getting even more over-the-top and ridicu- lous than the last. This summer's entry to the franchise premieres Sunday, Aug. 19, on Syfy, and "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time" is just that — the final film in the so-bad-it's-good series. Series stars Tara Reid ("American Pie," 1999) and Ian Ziering ("Beverly Hills, 90210") return for the fi- nal entry as April and Fin, and this time they're out to put an end to the toothy storms once and for all. Naturally, putting an end to sharknados and saving the plan- et involves time travel. The film sees the heroes traveling back in time to the Wild West, the American Revolution, and even back to the age of dinosaurs. They'll face Nazis and knights, and even encounter Noah's Ark in their quest to save the world. If that sounds absurd and out- rageous, that's because it is — but it's all par for the course for the Sharknado series. Find out if April and Fin can stop the predators once and for all when "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time" premieres Sunday, Aug. 19, on Syfy. Teen time: HBO has picked up one of its pilots to a full se- ries, and it's added a big name to the team behind the camera. "Euphoria," which had a pilot ordered back in March, has been given a full series order, further fleshing out the premi- um network's lineup, which in- cludes two of television's most acclaimed series, "Game of Thrones" and "Westworld." Rapper Drake has joined the series as an executive producer, marking a return to the medium that launched his career. He first drew attention as a teen while starring in the Canadian drama "Degrassi: The Next Generation," but he has since focused on his music career and has quickly risen to become one of the world's most popular and recognized musicians. The on-screen talent isn't lacking, either. "K.C. Undercov- er" and "Spider-Man: Home- coming" (2017) star Zendaya headlines a cast that includes Storm Reid ("A Wrinkle in Time," 2018), Maude Apatow ("Knocked Up," 2007), Eric Dane ("Grey's Anatomy") and Astro ("Earth to Echo," 2014). "Euphoria," which is based on an Israeli series of the same name, follows a group of teens as they navigate the many trials and tribulations set in their paths: drugs, trauma, sex, iden- tity, friendship and love all rear their heads. With HBO at the helm and Drake working be- hind the scenes, expect it to have an edge not often seen in teen dramas. No release date has yet been announced for the 10-episode series.
