　　In Playdate, a seemingly ordinary decision turns the world of Elisa, mum to two young kids, upside down. When Elisa’s nine-year-old daughter asks to go on an overnight playdate with her new best friend, Elisa agrees. But when she says goodnight to her daughter, she has no idea that she is about to be thrust into every parent’s worst nightmare, and when Elisa goes to pick her up, she discovers that the beautiful house was a holiday rental, while her daughter has disappeared. What follows is a manhunt across Europe, while Elisa and husband Fred find themselves the object of police scrutiny.

　　新剧方面消息，FOX今日已宣布续订《哥谭》和《嘻哈帝国》。《嘻哈帝国》首播收视率3.8（18-49岁），已正式成为这个电视播出季最受欢迎的新剧，踢下了ABC电视网同样是黑人演员挑大梁的罪案剧《逍遥法外》。《嘻哈帝国》第二集收视率更是攀升，达到4.0，仅播出两集就得到续订的好消息，可见其势头。

　　Zac is a teenage boy who decides to camp on Mako Island, unaware that three mermaids, Sirena, Nixie and Lyla, who are guardians of the island, are watching him. That night, when the full moon rises, the boy comes into contact with the magic water of the Moon Pool. The following morning, Zac wakes up discovering he has become a merman with a fish-like tail and the ability to control and manipulate water. His new-found merman abilities will cause problems for the mermaids.
　　The three mermaids, curious about living on land, are transformed into humans while in the moon pool during a full moon, now having the ability to live like humans.

　　NBC宣布一口气续订《#芝加哥警署# Chicago P.D.》三季。

　　NCIS(海军犯罪调查机构)是一部关于一支特工小组的动作剧集，这支小组隶属五角大楼的特别部门，肩负着调查任何有一丝证据证明与海军及海军陆战队人员有关的犯罪，且不论其级别或职位的高低。领导这支小组并独立于海军指挥系统的是NCIS特工Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon饰)，这名经验丰富的调查员与审问员是个机智、强硬并且为了完成任务愿意打破常规的人。直接受Gibbs领导的是Anthony DiNozzo特工 (Michael Weatherly饰)，作为一名前重案组探员，其出色的本能来自于大量的调查经验。之后加入他们俩的是Kate Todd (Sasha Alexander饰)，一个美丽而又坚强的前特勤处特工，曾与Gibbs短兵相接（见NCIS第一季第一集）。还有从事技术分析工作的Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette饰)，是一名天才科学家，她那黑色幽默与哥特风格的装扮相得益彰。新加入小队的是Timothy McGee (Sean Murray饰)，麻省理工学院（MIT，剧中经常会提到）的毕业生，他对电脑的精通使他在Gibbs率领的小组中成为一名见习特工。在小组背后默默支持的是法医Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum饰)，他见多识广。从谋杀、间谍活动到恐怖活动、盗窃潜艇，这些特工们为了调查所有与海军及海军陆战队相关的犯罪活动，足迹遍布全世界。
　　虽然同样由CBS电视网制作，NCIS却和CBS的另一王牌剧《犯罪现场》(CSI)有着极大差别，NCIS每集只专心讲述一个案子。CIS重点在于犯罪证据的收集和调查，NCIS侧重于案情的悬疑曲折以及主要角色的鲜明个性。第二季开头的一个案子就非常有代表性，一家军用直升飞机停在麦田中央，直升飞机周围的麦田全部伏倒形成了一个圆圈。而驾驶飞机的海军陆战队员则已经不知去向，这样的开头不禁一下让观众想到了外星人。不过NCIS毕竟不是《X档案》，事情的真相还是要回归到真实的生活中来。个性鲜明的几位长线角色也是NCIS吸引观众的另外一大卖点，上到调查处头头吉不斯，小到一个验尸官的助手，每一位NCIS成员都有着与人不同的特殊性格。这样一来，每位观众都能在剧中找到自己喜欢的角色。

　　ABC已续订《喜新不厌旧》第四季。

　　Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) is a police detective who transfers from Atlanta to Los Angeles to head up a special unit of the LAPD that handles sensitive, high-profile murder cases. Despite a tendency to step on people's toes, Johnson manages to convert even her strongest adversaries with her unique ability to get to the truth.
　　“他们带你进去，她将让你说出一切”
　　金发美女Brenda Leigh Johnson是一位从亚特兰大调职到洛杉矶的警察局副局长。Brenda所在的部门是LAPD主要处理一些引人注目非常敏感的谋杀案。在这个男性的领域，站在最高峰的Brenda会怎样收服一群骁勇善战的手下？又是怎样让这些骄傲的大男人在危急时刻站在她的身前替她说话？
　　Brenda的才能只有走进那间审讯室你才会体会到。不管你的嘴巴有多固若金汤，只要你有秘密，美丽的Brenda都会让你滔滔不绝。
　　2006年重磅回归
　　在这个热烈的6月，美丽的Brenda将在TNT电视台回到我们中间。Sedgwick凭借《The Closer》初次屏幕亮相就获得金球奖和电影协会奖的提名，高居不下的收视率让这个美丽的金发女郎走进每个人的心里。剧里面的Brenda面对案件的时候聪明机智，但是站在高处的美女局长不是完美的，自己的房间却是一团糟，方向感缺乏，喜欢在让嫌疑人倒出秘密之后吃一块小小的甜点。为什么The Closer会有那么高的收视率？杰出制作人James Duff解释说：“Kyra Sedgwick把Brenda演活了，让她成为了我们中间的一位。”
　　回归的亮点
　　喜欢Brenda个性的观众有福了，第二季的回归剧情将围绕女主角Brenda的个人挑战，我们会看到更多的有关Brenda身边的人还有Brenda高高在上的“Boss”，而Brenda的爱情会面临更多的挑战。想要继续统领这帮骄傲的男人，让他们努力乾活Brenda必须使出浑身的解数。案件频发，挑战在继续，Brenda的生活游离在案件与自身之间。
　　人家都说美丽的女人是花瓶，那我们来看看高智商的美女如何在回归的第二季颠覆这个古怪的谬论。

　　CBS will be bringing back another one of its veteran dramas for the 2019-20 TV season.
　　Announced this afternoon, the network has officially renewed “NCIS” for its seventeenth season. The news comes after star and executive producer, Mark Harmon, signed a new deal with CBS to reprise his role on the series.
　　“NCIS has been a global juggernaut for almost two decades,” said CBS Entertainment President, Kelly Kahl. “Its viewers are clearly the most loyal of any drama on television. They are passionate about the characters, the plotlines and the storytelling. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the gifted production team and the cast, led by the extraordinary Mark Harmon. We are delighted that the show will remain a linchpin of the CBS schedule this coming season.”
　　In its current season, “NCIS” has been averaging 12.2 million viewers in the live + same day ratings, making it TV’s second-most-watched scripted series, behind only “The Big Bang Theory.” It has remained a strong performer for CBS, in both its ratings and viewership numbers, and was widely considered to be a strong renewal contender leading up to the announcement today.
　　With this renewal, “NCIS” now joins “Young Sheldon,” “Mom,” “Criminal Minds,” “God Friended Me,” “Magnum P.I.,” “FBI,” and “The Neighborhood” on a growing list scripted titles confirmed to be returning on CBS for the 2019-20 season.

在前两季中，作为主创的米歇尔·阿什福德为了保证剧集的走向，曾跳过了一些时间点，而在明年秋天开播的第三季中，这种手法也仍将延续。 不可否认的是，在《性爱大师》这部电视剧中，迈克尔·辛和丽姿·卡潘两位主角的表现实在太棒了，所以说，即便阿什福德创造的一些配角有些弱，但这并不影响这部剧集的精彩程度。 在前两季中，作为主创的米歇尔·阿什福德为了保证剧集的走向，曾跳过了一些时间点，而在明年秋天开播的第三季中，这种手法也仍将延续。“我们肯定会有更多的时间跳跃。”阿什福德表示：“我们必须这样做，因为他们生命中的下一个里程碑时刻是出书，而那已经到了1966年，第二季结束的时候才是1961年。一旦出书之后，两人的故事将发生巨大的转折，因为他们将变得非常有名，这是跟以前完全不同的事情。
