The Flash

Keith David will voice Solovar, leader of Gorilla City, in a two-part episode set in Grodd’s society of hyperintelligent gorillas. [TV Line]

Meanwhile, Black Flash will indeed be a part of the show, according to Andrew Kreisberg:

You might be seeing him on multiple shows. He will [be] the classic comic book Grim Reaper aspect. It’s just going to be on multiple shows. He’s a classic character and we have storylines on multiple shows that fit having him return. There’s something so scary about him, even scarier than when he was just a man because now he is the Grim Reaper, he is like the Devil. How do you stop the Devil? It presents an interesting challenge for the heroes of the respective shows in which he appears.

However, Teddy Sears isn’t necessarily locked down to play his own skeleton, Kreisberg added:

I’m not sure. Teddy is pretty busy with [24: Legacy].

[EW]

Meanwhile, the Music Meister has been confirmed to be the villain of the Flash-Supergirl crossover musical episode, as if it could have been anyone else.. Whether he will played by Neil Patrick Harris still remains to be seen. [TV Guide]


Supergirl

Once Upon a Time

JoAnna Garcia Swisher will reprise her role as Ariel on the show, according to executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis:

Ariel returns and meets Princess Jasmine [Karen David] as they join Hook [Colin O’Donoghue] on an adventure as he and Emma [Jennifer Morrison] face a daunting challenge that requires a big time princess team-up.

[Entertainment Weekly]

Meanwhile, episode 16 of the season is titled “Mother’s Little Helper”.


The Handmaid’s Tale

The series will do away with the white supremacist element of the Republic of Gilead from the original novel. Executive producer Bruce Miller tells TV Line it was “a huge discussion with Margaret Atwood, and in some ways it is a ‘TV vs. book’ thing”.

After all, on the printed page, It’s easy to say ‘they sent off all the people of colour,’ but seeing it all the time on a TV show is harder. Also, honestly, what’s the difference between making a TV show about racists and making a racist TV show? Why would we be covering [the story of handmaid Offred, played by Mad Men’s Elisabeth Moss], rather than telling the story of the people of colour who got sent off to Nebraska?


Charmed

The reboot will be a “standalone” series with few references to the original, according to CW President Mark Pedowitz. [TV Guide]


Twin Peaks

Madchen Amick says the returning characters have changed quite a bit over the course of time between the new series and where the show left off:

You don’t want to give it away. Some of the characters aren’t where you think they might be 25 years later. We broke the mould for television. We’re about to break it again.

[TV Guide]


Powerless

Here’s a new TV spot for the show, featuring some pondering on the implications of the age old “Is it a bird, is it a plane?” refrain.


iZombie

Zombie armies abound in a new synopsis for the show’s third season.
