Deception #4

by Anjani Iman

Though “Deception” has not released many teasers or promos for the upcoming premiere date of March 11, that is not to say that the creators of the show have not made appearances at high-profile events–i.e. New York Comic Con 2017.

The panel at NYCC17 featured the executive producers Chris Fedak and Martin Gero as well as the co-stars Jack Cutmore-Scott and Ilfenesh Hadera. You can read more on their repertoire in my last blog post linked here.

Gero said that the series may be dubbed “Magician Impossible” with the stakes of the main character’s illusions running high and possibly costing people’s lives.

Gero also uncovered that he used to be a birthday magician, having been obsessed with magic and David Copperfield specials since he was very young.

The full list of EPs includes: Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, David Nutter, Chris Fedak, and of course, Martin Gero. The production companies involved with the making of “Deception” are Berlanti Productions, Quinn’s House, and Warner Bros. Television.

“Deception” will premiere on Sunday, March 11 at 10/9C on ABC.

Second Chance – Post #1

second-chance-102-rob-kazinsky-shirtless-wet-2016-imagesSecond Chance is a sci-fi/crime drama program airing on FOX. The show is based on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. A man is brought back to life in the body of a younger man to essentially relive his life and hopefully do better the second time around than he did in the bad paths he went down the first time. The show stars Robert Kazinsky in the lead role of Jimmy Pritchard and also stars Dilshad Vadsaria, Adhir Kalyan, Ciara Bravo, Tim DeKay, and Vanessa Lengies.

Interestingly enough, Second Chance aired first on the web on December 25th, 2015. That same episode only aired on TV the 13th of January 2016. Since the show’s launch, two episodes have aired. For this week, FOX has already moved Second Chance to Fridays at 9:00 p.m., taking the former spot of Hell’s Kitchen. Things are not looking good for the show. Even with an American Idol lead-in, Second Chance only pulled a 1.2 in its premiere episode and the second episode didn’t fare much better at a 1.0 rating. The move to Fridays almost certainly spells cancellation for the show.
