Jennifer Finnigan to star in CBS’s Salvation

First footage of Marvel’s The Defenders. With actual words

13 January 2017 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

You’ve already seen the photo today. Now there’s a video with all of Netflix’s Marvel’s The Defenders. It’s quite fun to see them all together, even Iron Fist whose show hasn’t even aired yet. Also, I realised that Charlie Cox was English but I hadn’t realised that Finn Jones was. Because the show hasn’t aired yet.

What few things they reveal about the show sound interesting at least. Although Krysten Ritter doesn’t sound interested.

When’s that show you mentioned starting again, TMINE? Including 24: Legacy, Falling Water and Marvel’s Iron Fist

Every Friday, I let you know the latest announcements about when new, imported TV shows will finally be arriving on your screens – assuming anyone’s bought any, of course.

Had I done this this morning, there would have been a grand total of zero new shows to tell you about. But life moves pretty fast and a couple of new shoes have been acquired today.

24: Legacy (US)
Fox UK: February 2017 (reviews: it hasn’t started in the US yet)
Falling Water (US)
Amazon: January 2017 (reviews: first episode; third-episode verdict; 2, 4, 5, 6, 7)

Oh yes, I should also mention that Netflix’s Marvel’s Iron Fist starts March 17 2017. Since I haven’t mentioned it already.
