In the first season, the multigenerational family drama introduced viewers to Kat Landry (Leigh), her teen daughter Alice (Laflamme-Snow), and Kat’s mother Del (MacDowell), three generations of women who are strong, willful, and independent. After being estranged for nearly two decades following the unsolved disappearance of Kat’s eight-year-old brother Jacob (Remy Smith) and the untimely death of family patriarch Colton Landry (Jefferson Brown) that prompted Kat to move away from her Canadian farm town of Port Haven, Kat moves back with Alice when she finds herself at a crossroads in life. Shortly after arriving, Alice unwittingly discovers the ability to travel between the past and present via a pond on the family’s land. Soon, Kat and Alice become determined to unearth the truth about these past tragedies and attempt to change the course of events. Elliot (Williams), Kat’s childhood friend who always held a torch for her, is there in the present to help guide both of them in their journey, as well as in the past for Alice as his teen self (David Webster). Season two starts where the shocking season one finale left off and had viewers on the edge of their seats – with Kat exclaiming to Del that she knows what happened to Jacob. As Kat continues her quest to find Jacob and bring him home, she and Alice uncover unexpected revelations about their origins that bring answers to some questions while new ones are raised.

Jackie Byers and Christian Navarro are stepping out of their comfort zone in their latest horror movie, Prey for The Devil, which already has horror fans talking. Byers (Sister Ann) has to deal with archaic values from the church as she faces her demons, while Navarro (Father Dante) helps guide her along but soon finds himself in trouble. Byers said she had so much fun filming the movie and working with the special effects, adding that while it adds an element for an actor to stretch their skill set, it is also incredibly hard and awkward. Meanwhile, Navarro said that he enjoyed everything about Father Dante, including his good nature, always putting others before himself. Navarro also paid homage to 13 Reasons Why saying that, that show taught him so much about acting, and this movie further is something he is also really proud of.

Synopsis:

Sister Ann (Jacqueline Byers) believes she is answering a calling to be the first female exorcist… but who, or what, called her? In response to a global rise in demonic possessions, Ann seeks out a place at an exorcism school reopened by the Catholic Church. Until now these schools have only trained priests in the Rite of Exorcism – but a professor (Colin Salmon) recognizes Sister Ann’s gifts and agrees to train her. Thrust onto the spiritual frontline with fellow student Father Dante (Christian Navarro), Sister Ann finds herself in a battle for the soul of a young girl, who Sister Ann believes is possessed by the same demon that tormented her own mother years ago. Determined to root out the evil, Ann soon realizes the Devil has her right where he wants her.

*Prey for The Devil will be in theaters nationwide on October 28, 2022

We spoke with Lily Santiago (“Veronica”), Michelle Vergara Moore (“Ella”), Josh McKenzie (“Lucas”), and Rohan Mirchandaney (“Scott”) about what fans can expect from La Brea this season. Last season, the characters found themselves split up in different time periods as one group tried to stay alive while the other went on a rescue mission to save them. However, this season, a major twist will alter the rest of the season and continue to spark connections between the past and present. Lily and Michelle were so excited to discuss how their characters have evolved since season one and give an update on where they are now and what is set to come after the mid-season break. Meanwhile, Josh and Rohan, who plays two characters that couldn't be more different, seem to find common ground in season two and becomes friends, which is a bromance we are all enjoying. Josh added that he loves Lucas's tenacity and the slow changes he's made since the incident with his mother, while Rohan (whose character says a lot of what viewers are thinking) said that he loves Scott so much and finds himself relating to him in many ways.

Katherine McNamara, plays Abby Walker, on The CW's new hit prequel, Walker: Independence. The prequel was announced after Walker (starring Jared Padalecki) became an instant success. McNamara who is no stranger to playing a bad ass, plays Abby Walker, a survivor who is determined to keep moving forward after her husband gets murdered in front of her eyes. Walker ends up in Independence, Texas in search of justice and comes across all sorts of fun characters. McNamara said she had so much fun playing Abby Walker and working on developing her story and getting into the details of her character. She had fun in the period clothing (which she said is a mix of vintage and hand made items), as well as, working with Matt Barr (Hoyt Rawlins). McNamera said its quite a ride that Abby is going to go through this season but is proud of what she has accomplished so far. So lots of chaos ahead! Also for all those Outlander fans, McNamera does discuss not only the tartan in her promo photo but a little side anedote about Sam Heughan.

In the "Time is Up" sequel, Game of Love, Benjamin Mascolo returns to the big screen to continue Roy and Vivien's love story. Game of Love has Roy and Vivien traveling together across the country and ending up in Sicily to see Roy's family. Mascolo said he was excited to continue telling this story because he felt that Roy never understood love until he met Vivien. However, since we last saw them, Mascolo said Roy went straight from never knowing what love is into a relationship. After being with Vivien for a significant period, the couple struggles to stay together as issues arise that all couples go through. Mascolo said it was so much fun to come back and continue to tell the story of Roy and Vivien, adding he is blessed to be able to do film work, which he doesn't take for granted. When asked about a possible third movie, Mascolo said he doesn't have an answer yet but thinks the fans will enjoy seeing him and Bella Thorne (his co-star) on screen together again.
