"Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life. I've been so fortunate to be a part of the Law & Order family for the last 12 years. There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins. She's grown and changed, and I have as well. I started on this show when I was in my late 20s and I'm grateful I got to spend so many of my adult years with Rollins in my life." (Deadline.com)
SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES, THE (Disney+) - Christian Slater, Lyon Daniels and Noah Cottrell have all landed principal roles on the live-action series adaptation of the popular fantasy books.

Mulgarath wants the secrets contained in Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Natural World for a nefarious scheme that will satisfy his hunger." Daniels' Jared is "the adventurous, clever, and impulsive twin brother, who has been troubled by anger issues." And Cottrell is "the thoughtful, more rational twin Simon, who is an animal lover - Jared's antithesis in everything. The twins have been inseparable since birth and even developed their own special "twin language," but resentments are growing between them, threatening to disrupt their brotherly bond."

Relying on strategy and tactics, players will have to build alliances and friendships to win a place in the villa. Those who secure a ticket to paradise by the end of the game will have a chance of winning the huge cash prize. Can they really trust their allies? And how far are they willing to go to get to the villa?" (Netflix.com)
