Amazon Prime Video released a trailer for the fourth and final season of “Goliath,” which premieres Sept. 24.
Viewers were left with a cliffhanger in the Season 3 finale, when lawyer Billy (Billy Bob Thornton) faced a murder attempt. In the new season, Billy returns to his Big Law roots and attempts to take on the opioid industry and its leaders, including George Stax (J.K. Simmons), the leader of one of the largest family-owned pharmaceutical companies, and his brother Frank (Bruce Dern). He and Patty (Nina Arianda) hope to use the power of Big Pharma to buy justice, but loyalties are tested when Patty feels Billy may be using her because she got a new job at a prestigious white-shoe law firm in San Francisco. Billy is also still reeling from chronic pain due to the attack he endured last season.
Also starring in the series are Tania Raymonde, Diana Hopper, Julie Brister,...

“The Voice” finale will showcase the Top 4 singing live for America’s votes on Monday, May 20. Each of the four finalists — Maelyn Jarmon, Gyth Rigdon, Dexter Roberts and Andrew Sevener — will get three chances to sing on the two-hour show. They will do covers and original tunes as well as duet with their coaches.
In this final round of the season 16 competition, the coaches are not evenly matched. Blake Shelton, who won six of the first 15 seasons of “The Voice,” still has those three male artists in contention while rookie coach John Legend counts just the lone woman standing, Maelyn, on his team. The other two coaches — reigning two-time champ Kelly Clarkson and veteran Adam Levine — are left sitting on the sidelines.
We’ve discovered spoilers on Apple Music of the songs that the Top 4 will perform live on May 20. Take a look below at the titles of these tunes...

At&T Audience Network has renewed two of its hit series, poly-romcom You Me Her for a fourth and fifth seasons and conspiracy thriller Condor for a second season.
You Me Her, from Entertainment One, and created by executive producer and showrunner John Scott Shepherd, stars Greg Poehler, Rachel Blanchard and Priscilla Faia in a romantic comedy with a little something extra: a third person.
At the end of last season, the “throuple” pulled together their happy ending – a surprise poly commitment ceremony in a pizza joint. Now, they’re settling back into the ‘burbs to live a tweaked version of the conventional “married with children” life. Are “the accidental polyamorists” trying to jam a triangular peg into a round-hole world? Will they break the neighborhood, their peculiar romance, or both?

Max Irons will soon follow in the formidable onscreen footsteps of Robert Redford. The forthcoming Audience Network series “Condor” casts the second-generation English actor (dad is Jeremy Irons) as avian-nicknamed CIA analyst Joe Turner, the role Redford originated in Sydney Pollack’s 1975 film, the Oscar-nominated “Three Days of the Condor.” Entertainment Weekly debuted the first trailer today, along with production photos.
The TV version adapted material from both the feature and its inspiration, James Grady’s novel “Six Days of the Condor.” Unlike its predecessors, this 10-episode telling is set in Washington, D.C. instead of New York City. Available to DirectTV subscribers, Audience Network is perhaps best known for another show based on a book, “Mr. Mercedes,” overseen by showrunner David E. Kelley.

James Grady’s novel Six Days Of The Condor was published just a year before Sydney Pollack’s big-screen adaptation, and yet almost every aspect of the story was changed. It is difficult to imagine such a flagrant disregard for the source material today, but in 1975, Three Days Of The Condor was a huge success. Buoyed up by big name stars Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway, the film unseated Steven Spielberg’s Jaws from its perch atop the Us box office, where it had sat unchallenged all summer. More important than its star power or literary origins, Three Days Of The Condor tapped into the zeitgeist of a nation reeling from the Kennedy Assassination, the Vietnam War and Watergate. The American People were coming to the...

The show’s format is uncertain at this stage, though, as the options for a miniseries or full-length serial are both still on the table while Ellison and co. shop it to networks.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, there’s no sniff of a director – yet. On the wordsmith front, Jason Smilovic (Arms & The Dudes, Lucky Number Slevin) and Todd Katzberg (Kidnapped) are currently putting in the hard graft on the show’s scripts, that may or may not be based on the original’s source material.

After messing with politics both dramatically and comedically with Game Change and The Campaign respectively, director Jay Roach is looking to switch things up by venturing into action comedy. THR has word that the director of the Austin Powers trilogy is attached to direct Mad Dogs, an adaptation of the book of the same name by James Grady. The book, which is being used as a jumping off point for the big screen story described as The Hangover meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Wes Jones, who wrote the 2010 Black Listed script College Republicans, will write the script, and this one sounds like a lot of fun. The story will follow three dysfunctional guys working low-level jobs in U.S. Intelligence who have been deemed crazy and sent to a government mental hospital for spies. Convinced someone wants them dead, they hatch an escape plan. It’s obvious they...

While his latest film, Trumbo is a lot more serious, he’s looking to get back into funnier territory with Mad Dogs.Wes Jones is attached to use Six Days Of The Condor author James Grady’s eponymous book as the launching pad for a conspiracy-tinged script about three dysfunctional people working low-level jobs in Us intelligence. When their bosses become convince that they’re crazy, the trio is packed off to a government psychiatric hospital for espionage types, where they soon begin to fear that the higher-ups want them dead.
